Further, a contact portion 12 is provided to the body 11, and the contact portion 12 is capable of conducting electricity. The contact portion 12 can be formed on the body 11 in different manners, for example, in some examples, the contact portion 12 is integrally formed with the body 11, no additional welding or assembling is required, and the body 11 and the contact portion 12 have good consistency. In other examples, the contact portion 12 is assembled with the body 11, for example, the contact portion 12 may be sealed with the body 11 by a threaded connection, a snap connection, or an adhesive, to facilitate independent machining of the contact portion 12 and the body 11.
In this embodiment, the shapes of the contact portion 12 and the conductive portion 21 are matched, so that the contact portion 12 can better seal the conductive portion 21, and thus electromagnetic shielding can be formed between the electrical components to be isolated on the motherboard 20 and/or between the electrical components to be isolated and other electrical components, for example, electromagnetic shielding can be formed between the radio frequency transmitting circuit 22 and the radio frequency receiving circuit 23, between the power circuit 24 and the radio frequency transmitting circuit 22 and the radio frequency receiving circuit 23, between the local oscillator circuit 26 and the radio frequency transmitting circuit 22 and the radio frequency receiving circuit 23, and between the plug 28 and the radio frequency transmitting circuit 22 and the intermediate frequency circuit 27, respectively. Note that, matching the shapes of the contact portion 12 and the conductive portion 21 may mean: the shape of the contact portion 12 is completely the same as the shape of the conductive portion 21, or the shape of the contact portion 12 is substantially the same as the shape of the conductive portion 21.
The contact portion 12 of the present embodiment is used for connecting with the conductive portion 21. Alternatively, as shown in fig. 2 and 3, the contact portion 12 has a sidewall 121 and a slot 122 formed by the sidewall 121. It is understood that the structure of the contact portion 12 is not limited to the structural form of the sidewall 121 and the slot 122, and other structures can be designed.
The flexible conductive structure of the present embodiment is filled in the slot 122, and the flexible conductive structure is in contact with the sidewall 121. In this embodiment. When the motherboard 20 is fixedly connected with the shielding case 10, the contact portion 12 is covered with the conductive portion 21, the conductive portion 21 is in sealing contact with the contact portion 12 through the flexible conductive structure, the flexible conductive structure is deformed under pressure to realize firm contact between the conductive portion 21 and the contact portion 12, and the conductive portion 21 is in contact with the contact portion 12 for conduction, so that metal isolation between each region is realized, and mutual influence of an electric field, a magnetic field and electromagnetic waves between two adjacent regions is controlled; meanwhile, the conductive part 21 on the motherboard 20 is in contact with the contact part 12 through the flexible conductive structure, and heat generated in the working process of the motherboard 20 can be led out through the flexible conductive structure and the contact part 12, so that the function of radiating the motherboard 20 is realized.
When the flexible conductive structure is used to bring the conductive portion 21 into sealing contact with the contact portion 12, as a possible implementation, the conductive portion 21 is provided with a protrusion, and the conductive portion 21 is in sealing contact with the contact portion 12 through the flexible conductive structure. When the main board 20 is fixedly connected to the shield case 10, the flexible conductive structure is pressed by the protrusion, so that the conductive portion 21 is ensured to be more firmly contacted with the contact portion 12.
As another possible implementation, the conductive portion 21 is provided with a recess, and the conductive portion 21 is in sealing contact with the contact portion 12 through a flexible conductive structure. When the main board 20 is fixedly connected to the shielding case 10, the flexible conductive structure can be deformed to be embedded in the groove, so that the conductive portion 21 is ensured to be more firmly contacted with the contact portion 12.
The thickness of the sidewall 121 can be set as required, and optionally, the thickness of the sidewall 121 is 1.2mm ± 0.1mm, such as 1.2 mm. The sidewall 121 of the present embodiment is thin, which facilitates the design of the shape of the contact portion 12, so that the shape of the contact portion 12 fits the shape of the conductive portion 21 as much as possible; meanwhile, the side wall 121 is thin, which saves space.
In some examples, the sidewall 121 is a continuous structure, i.e., the sidewall 121 is a complete and uninterrupted structure, thereby ensuring that the flexible conductive structure is uniform and complete.
In other examples, the sidewall 121 includes multiple segments, and the sidewall 121 is spaced apart from adjacent segments. Compared with the continuous sidewall 121, the segmented sidewall 121 may have a gap between adjacent segments of the sidewall 121, for example, the sidewall 121 may be provided in multiple segments, and the corners of the continuous sidewall 121 may be removed, so that the shape of the contact portion 12 formed by the splicing process of the segments of the sidewall 121 is substantially the same as the shape of the conductive portion 21.
The shape of the slot 122 can be selected as desired, and the slot 122 of the present embodiment can be cylindrical, U-shaped, V-shaped, or other shapes.
In addition, the slot 122 may also be sized as desired. Optionally, the height of the slot 122 is 3mm ± 0.1 mm. Optionally, the width of the slot 122 is 6mm ± 0.5mm, such as 6 mm. Of course, it is to be understood that the height and width of the slot 122 are not limited to the above-listed ranges of heights and widths, and that other ranges of heights and widths may be selected.
In some embodiments, the flexible conductive structure is provided with a receiving groove.
