[0034] Figure 1 The communication box includes a box body 100 , an antenna 200 and a locking member 300 . Figure 2 The schematic cross-sectional view of the connection between the antenna and the box body in the first embodiment of the communication box of the utility model.

[0035] According to the communication box of the embodiment of the utility model, the outer wall surface S1 of the box body 100 is provided with a connecting hole 110, and the connecting part 210 of the antenna 200 can be extended into the connecting hole 110, and the connecting part 210 can be locked in the connecting hole 110, so that the position of the antenna 200 relative to the box body 100 after being assembled on the outer wall surface S1 of the box body 100 is more stable, and the risk of the antenna 200 being blown away from the position or separated from the box body 100 by strong wind is reduced, thereby improving the stability of the position of the antenna 200, thereby improving the wind resistance performance of the position of the antenna 200.
[0036] In some embodiments, the communication box further includes a communication component 500 and a connecting line 600. The communication component 500 is, for example, a router, or other network communication components. The communication component 500 is located inside the box, and the antenna is electrically connected to the communication component 500 through the connecting line 600, so that the communication component 500 receives or transmits signals through the antenna outside the box. In some embodiments, the connecting line 600 can pass through the connecting hole 110.
[0037] In one example, the outer circumference of the connection part 210 is provided with an external thread, and the inner circumference of the connection hole 110 is provided with an internal thread, and the connection part 210 is screwed and installed in the connection hole 110 to achieve a locking connection with the connection hole 110. In some other embodiments, the outer circumference of the connection part 210 and the inner circumference of the connection hole 110 may be provided with other matching structures to achieve the connection part 210 being locked in the connection hole 110.
[0038] In some embodiments, the communication box further includes a locking member 300, which can be connected to the connecting portion 210 in the box body 100 to lock the connecting portion 210 to the connecting hole 110. In the above embodiment, the locking member 300 can lock the connecting portion 210 to the connecting hole 110, further improving the position stability of the antenna 200 after being assembled in the box body 100.
[0039] In this embodiment, the outer peripheral surface of the connection part 210 is provided with an external thread, and the locking member 300 is threadedly matched with the connection part 210. In the above embodiment, the antenna 200 and the locking member 300 are connected by threads to achieve detachable installation and locking, which facilitates the installation and removal of the antenna 200 on the outer wall surface S1 of the box body 100, and improves the convenience of assembly and maintenance of the communication box.
[0040] In some other embodiments, the locking member 300 and the connecting portion 210 may be matched in other ways to achieve locking of the connecting portion 210. For example, the connecting portion 210 is provided with a plug hole, the locking member 300 is a latch, and after the connecting portion 210 passes through the connecting hole 110, the locking member 300 is inserted into the plug hole to lock the connecting portion 210 to the connecting hole 110. For example, the connecting portion 210 is provided with a card slot, the locking member 300 is a card connector, and after the connecting portion 210 passes through the connecting hole 110, the card connector is carded into the card slot to lock the connecting portion 210 to the connecting hole 110.
[0041] In some embodiments, the communication box further includes a sealing ring 400. The sealing ring 400 is sleeved on the connecting portion 210. When the connecting portion 210 is locked in the connecting hole 110, the sealing ring 400 is sandwiched between the antenna 200 and the outer wall surface S1 of the box body 100, and the sealing ring 400 isolates the connecting hole 110 from the outside of the box body 100 by liquid sealing.
[0042] According to the above embodiment, the communication box also includes a sealing ring 400, which is clamped between the antenna 200 and the outer wall surface S1 of the box body 100, and seals the connection hole 110 from the external liquid of the box body 100, thereby improving the dustproof and waterproof performance of the communication box at the installation position of the antenna 200, reducing the possibility of external rainwater entering the interior of the box body 100 from the installation position of the antenna 200, and improving the reliability of the communication box.
[0043] In some embodiments, the box 100 includes a boss 120 surrounding the connection hole 110 and protruding relative to the outer wall surface S1 . When the connection portion 210 is locked in the connection hole 110 , the sealing ring 400 is sandwiched between the boss 120 and the antenna 200 .
[0044] According to the above embodiment, the box body 100 includes a boss 120 surrounding the connection hole 110 and protruding relative to the outer wall surface S1. The boss 120 can serve as a secondary waterproof structure at the installation position of the antenna 200, and can raise the connection end surface between the antenna 200 and the box body 100 to prevent rainwater from accumulating at the connection hole 110, thereby further improving the waterproof performance of the communication box.
[0045] In some embodiments, the antenna 200 further includes a body portion 220 and a base portion 230, and the body portion 220 and the connecting portion 210 are connected to opposite sides of the base portion 230. The sealing ring 400 is sandwiched between the boss 120 and the base portion 230. According to the above embodiment, the antenna 200 includes the base portion 230, and when the antenna 200 is assembled on the box body 100, the base portion 230 and the boss 120 can clamp the sealing ring 400, thereby ensuring that the sealing ring 400 has a better setting position and ensuring that the communication box has better waterproof performance.
[0046] In some embodiments, the cross-sectional dimension of the base portion 230 gradually increases in the direction from the body portion 220 to the connection portion 210. Since the cross-sectional dimension of the base portion 230 gradually increases in the direction close to the connection hole 110, in an outdoor rainy environment, the outer peripheral surface of the base portion 230 can guide rainwater to the surroundings outside the connection hole 110, reduce the rainwater from gathering at the connection hole 110, and thus improve the waterproof performance of the communication box.
[0047] In some embodiments, the cross-sectional dimension of the boss 120 gradually changes in the direction from the bottom surface of the boss 120 to the top surface 121 of the boss 120. For example, in this embodiment, the cross-sectional dimension of the boss 120 gradually decreases in the direction from the bottom surface of the boss 120 to the top surface 121 of the boss 120. Optionally, the base portion 230 has an abutting surface 231 facing the connection hole 110, and the abutting surface 231 matches the shape of the top surface of the boss 120, so that in an outdoor rainy environment, the outer peripheral surface of the base portion 230 and the outer peripheral surface of the boss 120 jointly guide rainwater to the surroundings outside the connection hole 110, reduce the rainwater gathering at the connection hole 110, and thus improve the waterproof performance of the communication box.
[0048] Figure 3 This is a cross-sectional view of the connection between the antenna and the box body in the second embodiment of the communication box of the utility model. Part of the structure of the second embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment, and the differences between the two will be described below, and the similarities will not be described in detail.
[0049] In the second embodiment, the base portion 230 has an abutting surface 231 facing the connecting hole 110, and the orthographic projection of the abutting surface 231 on the top surface of the boss 120 covers the top surface 121 of the boss 120. In the above embodiment, the base portion 230 can form a certain covering effect on the boss 120, thereby improving the rain shielding effect on the boss 120 and improving the waterproof performance of the communication box.
[0050] The base portion 230 has an abutting surface 231 facing the connecting hole 110. In some embodiments, at least one of the abutting surface 231 and the top surface 121 of the boss 120 is provided with a recessed portion L1 matching the shape of the sealing ring 400. When the connecting portion 210 is locked in the connecting hole 110, the sealing ring 400 is clamped in the recessed portion L1, and the abutting surface 231 contacts the top surface 121 of the boss 120. For example, in the second embodiment, the recessed portion L1 is provided on the top surface 121 of the boss 120. In some other embodiments, the recessed portion L1 may also be provided on the abutting surface 231, or the recessed portion L1 may be provided on both the abutting surface 231 and the top surface 121 of the boss 120.
[0051] According to the above embodiment, the sealing ring 400 is clamped in the recessed portion L1, and the abutting surface 231 contacts the top surface 121 of the boss 120. On the one hand, the position stability of the sealing ring 400 is improved. On the other hand, the contact between the abutting surface 231 and the top surface 121 of the boss 120 improves the tightness of the connection between the antenna 200 and the box body 100, thereby improving the dustproof and waterproof performance.
[0052] In some embodiments, the cross-sectional dimension of the boss 120 changes gradually in the direction from the bottom surface of the boss 120 to the top surface 121 of the boss 120. For example, in this embodiment, the cross-sectional dimension of the boss 120 gradually decreases in the direction from the bottom surface of the boss 120 to the top surface 121 of the boss 120. In other embodiments, the cross-sectional dimension of the boss 120 may change gradually in other forms.
[0053] Figure 4 The schematic cross-sectional view of the connection between the antenna and the box body in the third embodiment of the communication box of the utility model. Part of the structure of the third embodiment is the same as that of the second embodiment, and the differences between the two will be described below, and the similarities will not be described in detail.
[0054] In the third embodiment, the cross-sectional dimension of the boss 120 changes gradually in the direction from the bottom surface of the boss 120 to the top surface 121 of the boss 120. Specifically, the cross-sectional dimension of the boss 120 gradually increases in the direction from the bottom surface of the boss 120 to the top surface 121 of the boss 120. At this time, the outer peripheral surface of the boss 120 between the top surface 121 of the boss 120 and the outer wall surface S1 of the box body 100 forms a groove-like structure, which facilitates the liquid at the bottom of the outer peripheral surface of the boss 120 to be discharged to the outside.
[0055] Figure 5 The fourth embodiment of the utility model is a schematic cross-sectional view of the connection between the antenna and the box body. The fourth embodiment has the same structure as the first embodiment, and the differences between the two will be described below, and the similarities will not be described in detail.
[0056] In the fourth embodiment, the base portion 230 has an abutting surface 231 facing the connecting hole 110. The antenna 200 further includes a covering portion 240 surrounding the edge of the abutting surface 231 and extending outward from the abutting surface 231. When the connecting portion 210 is locked in the connecting hole 110, the covering portion 240 is covered on the outside of the boss 120.
[0057] In the fourth embodiment, since the cover 240 is disposed outside the boss 120, in an outdoor rainy environment, the cover 240 can prevent rainwater from entering the boss 120, thereby further improving the waterproof performance of the communication box.
[0058] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural changes made by using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the concept of the present invention, or directly / indirectly applied in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
