[0015] like Figure 1-4As shown, the utility model provides an FPC antenna quick-installation structure for a driving recorder, the driving recorder includes a shell 1, a PCB board 2 arranged in the shell 1, a camera arranged in the shell 1 and electrically connected to the PCB board 2, and a shooting window arranged at the front end of the shell 1 and corresponding to the camera. The quick-installation structure includes an antenna bracket 3 arranged on the inner wall of the shell 1, a pressing platform 4 arranged on the inner side of the lower end of the antenna bracket 3, an FPC antenna 5 arranged on the antenna bracket 3, and a spring probe 6 arranged on the PCB board 2. The antenna bracket 3 is an inverted L-shaped plate structure, the lower end of the pressing platform 4 is pressed against the telescopic end of the upper end of the spring probe 6, the FPC antenna 5 is attached to the upper end surface, the outer end surface and the lower end surface of the pressing platform 4 of the antenna bracket 3, and the wiring terminal of the FPC antenna 5 is located at the lower end surface of the pressing platform 4, and the wiring terminal of the FPC antenna 5 is pressed against the telescopic end of the upper end of the spring probe 6.

[0016] The driving recorder is composed of a shell 1, a PCB board 2 arranged in the shell 1, and a camera arranged in the shell 1 and electrically connected to the PCB board 2. In this design, an antenna bracket 3 is added in the shell 1, and a spring probe 6 for electrical connection is added to the PCB board 2. The FPC antenna 5 is a flexible antenna that can be bent and folded. The FPC antenna 5 is pasted on the upper end face, the outer end face and the lower end face of the abutment platform 4 of the antenna bracket 3, that is, on the end face of the antenna bracket 3 and the shell 1 facing the inner wall of the shell 1. When pasting, the position of the lower end of the FPC antenna 5 with the leakage of the wiring copper foil is bent and then affixed to the abutment platform 4. At the lower end, the antenna bracket 3 is installed on the inner wall of the shell 1. At this time, the wiring copper foil position of the FPC antenna 5 at the lower end of the pressing platform 4 is pressed against the telescopic end of the upper end of the spring probe 6 to achieve electrical connection. When the FPC antenna 5 fails and needs to be replaced, the antenna bracket 3 can be removed from the inner wall of the shell 1, and the FPC antenna 5 pasted on the antenna bracket 3 can be torn off and replaced with a new FPC antenna 5, and then the antenna bracket 3 can be reinstalled on the inner wall of the shell 1, which is convenient for production assembly and later maintenance and replacement. It is very convenient and can effectively reduce costs compared to using traditional PCB antennas.

[0017] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the housing 1 includes an upper shell 7 and a lower shell 8 that are buckled together. The upper shell 7 is a slot structure with one end open. A snap-fit ​​mechanism is provided on the inner wall of the upper shell 7. The antenna bracket 3 is snap-fitted to the bending portion between the upper inner wall and the side inner wall of the upper shell 7 by means of the snap-fit ​​mechanism.

[0018] The housing 1 is composed of an upper housing 7 and a lower housing 8. The antenna bracket 3 is installed in the upper housing 7. The antenna bracket 3 is fixed in a snap-fit ​​manner, which is convenient for disassembly and assembly.

[0019] like Figure 1-4As shown, the clamping mechanism includes a positioning column 9 arranged on the inner wall of the side wall of the upper shell 7, an L-shaped clamping column 10 arranged on the inner wall of the upper end of the upper shell 7, and a positioning notch 11 arranged at the lower end of the antenna bracket 3 and corresponding to the positioning column 9. The front end of the upper part of the antenna bracket 3 is embedded in and pressed against the opening of the L-shaped clamping column 10, and the positioning column 9 is embedded in and pressed against the positioning notch 11 at the lower end of the antenna bracket 3.

[0020] The clamping mechanism of the antenna bracket 3 is further limited. Since the antenna bracket 3 is an L-shaped plate, during installation, the front end of the upper part of the antenna bracket 3 is first embedded in the opening of the L-shaped clamping column 10, and then the antenna bracket 3 is buckled into the corner between the upper wall and the side wall of the upper shell 7. When the antenna bracket 3 is attached to the inner wall of the upper shell 7, the positioning column 9 is inserted into the positioning groove 11. The antenna bracket 3 is limited by the positioning column 9 and the L-shaped clamping column 10, and the FPC antenna 5 is located between the antenna bracket 3 and the inner wall of the upper shell 7, which can play a protective role without affecting the transmission of signals. When it needs to be removed, it only needs to be manually pulled out from the lower end of the antenna bracket 3. After the positioning column 9 is disengaged from the positioning groove 11, the antenna bracket 3 can be removed, which is very convenient.
