Description

Slip lid panel computer

Technical field

The present invention relates to a kind of slip lid panel computer (Slider Tablet Computer), relate in particular to the slip lid panel computer that couples antenna with thimble (Pogo Pin).

Background technology

Along with the prosperity of mobile communication technology, portable electronic apparatus is more prevalent in recent years, for example common: the portable electronic apparatus of hand-held computer, mobile phone, panel computer, multimedia player and other mixed functions.In order to meet people's demand, portable electronic apparatus has the function of radio communication conventionally.Some contains the range for wireless communication of long distance, for example: mobile phone uses the frequency bands for communication of 2G, 3G, LTE system and the 700MHz that uses, 850MHz, 900MHz, 1800MHz, 1900MHz, 2100MHz, 2300MHz and 2500MHz, some contains short-range range for wireless communication, for example: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and WiMAX system are used the frequency bands for communication of 2.4GHz, 3.5GHz, 5.2GHz and 5.8GHz.

Yet current portable electronic apparatus, all cannot avoid allowing user expose to the open air under the environment that has electromagnetic wave to transmit.Therefore, government formulate the electromagnetic upper limit of absorption of human body, its criterion is electro-magnetic wave absorption ratio (Specific Absorption Rate, SAR).So-called electro-magnetic wave absorption ratio, refer to that general electromagnetism Radiation penetrates (this equipment and human body remain on 20 centimeters with interior distance) in environment, biosome unit mass is to specific absorption rate value, unit be " watt/kilogram " (W/kg), what Taiwan adopted at present is European electro-magnetic wave absorption ratio standard value, and the electro-magnetic wave absorption ratio of take is less than 2W/Kg as codes and standards.

Take slip lid panel computer as example, and it is broadly divided into two major parts: one is pedestal (or claiming Base), and one is removable upper cover (or claiming Hinge Up).In order to meet the safety standard of electro-magnetic wave absorption ratio, antenna designs conventionally in the middle of removable upper cover.This antenna via a connector (Connector), a cable (Cable), is coupled to a radio-frequency module that is arranged in pedestal again.Not only cost is higher for this kind of connected mode, and in the process of folding, often has cable to hold flimsy problem.

Summary of the invention

In view of this, the invention provides a kind of slip lid panel computer, comprising: a pedestal, comprising: a motherboard; One first thimble; One second thimble; One radio-frequency module, is arranged on this motherboard, and in order to transmit or to receive a radiofrequency signal; And many strip metal wirings, be arranged on this motherboard, wherein this first thimble and this second thimble are coupled to respectively this radio-frequency module via described many strip metal wirings; And a removable upper cover, comprise at least one the first antenna, wherein this first antenna is optionally coupled to this first thimble or this second thimble according to the mode of operation of this slip lid panel computer.

In the present invention, no matter slip lid panel computer is to open or closure, and the antenna in it all can be coupled to radio-frequency module via thimble and metal line.Due to cable and connector that use cost is not higher, the producing cost of slip lid panel computer of the present invention can significantly reduce, and not have the cable that couples antenna and hold flimsy problem.
