[0025] Embodiment 1

[0026] As Figures 1-4 shown, a vehicle-mounted positioning hotspot device includes a plugging rod 1 and a main body 2. The plugging rod 1 is used to be inserted into a cigarette lighter socket to draw power and supply power to the main body 2. The main body 2 integrates functions of 4G wireless communication, GPS + Beidou positioning, WIFI 6 near-field communication, and an external charging interface, facilitating users to perform WIFI connection, vehicle positioning, and charging of electronic devices. One end of the plugging rod 1 is provided with a first connecting part 11, and one end of the main body 2 is provided with a second connecting part 21. The second connecting part 21 forms a movable connection and conduction with the first connecting part 11, and the plugging rod 1 is electrically connected to the main body 2.

[0027] In this embodiment, a combination method of inserting the plugging rod 1 into a cigarette lighter socket to draw power and supply power to the main body 2 is adopted. The plugging rod 1 forms a movable connection with the second connecting part 21 of the main body 2 through the first connecting part 11, enabling the main body 2 to perform a 360-degree horizontal rotation and an additional rotation around the vertical direction, so that the main body 2 can adjust the placement angle according to the space above the cigarette lighter in different vehicle models. At the same time, it can also perform an adaptive position rotation around the first connecting part 11 to adjust the external occupied space direction of the main body 2, so as to facilitate installation and adaptation to different vehicle models;

[0028] In summary, the in-vehicle positioning hotspot device can effectively meet the installation requirements of cigarette lighter sockets for various vehicle models, facilitating users to use it.

[0029] In this embodiment, the first connecting portion 11 is provided with a spherical end 111, and the second connecting portion 21 is provided with a receiving groove 211. A part of the spherical end 111 is received in the receiving groove 211, and the surface of the spherical end 111 is slidably connected to the groove wall of the receiving groove 211. In order to ensure that the main body 2 can rotate horizontally by 360 degrees more conveniently and rotate around the vertical direction, the spherical end 111 and the receiving groove 211 are used as the connecting structure, so that the main body 2 can be adjusted smoothly at multiple angles. The receiving groove 211 is an arc surface adapted to the spherical end 111, and it is smoother when rotating.

[0030] In this embodiment, the first connecting portion 11 is provided with a first through groove 112, and the first through groove 112 is located at the center of the spherical end 111. The second connecting portion 21 is provided with a second through groove 212, and the second through groove 212 is located at the bottom wall of the receiving groove 211. The first through groove 112 communicates with the receiving groove 211 and faces the second through groove 212; both the first through groove 112 and the second through groove 212 are used to provide a passage for the conductive wire connecting the plugging rod 1 and the main body 2 to pass through. When the main body 2 is rotated and adjusted, the conductive wire can move adaptively in the first through groove 112 and the second through groove 212, avoiding the conductive wire being clamped and damaged.

[0031] In this embodiment, the second connecting portion 21 is provided with a wrapping boss 213, and the wrapping boss 213 is arranged around the receiving groove 211 and wraps the spherical end 111; the setting of the wrapping boss 213 is used to limit the rotation angle of the main body 2 in the vertical direction, avoiding the internal conductive wire being squeezed and damaged due to excessive rotation angle.

[0032] In this embodiment, the height of the wrapping boss 213 is two-thirds of the height of the spherical end 111; this height enables the rotation angle of the main body 2 in the vertical direction to be 15 degrees, and at the same time ensures the connection stability between the spherical end 111 and the receiving groove 211.

[0033] In this embodiment, one end of the plugging rod 1 is provided with a cigarette lighter plugging end 12, the cigarette lighter plugging end 12 is far from the first connecting portion 11, and the cigarette lighter plugging end 12 is electrically connected to the main body 2 through a conductive wire. The cigarette lighter plugging end 12 is used to insert into the cigarette lighter socket to draw power, and after insertion, it supplies power to the main body 2.

[0034] In this embodiment, the main body 2 includes a housing 22 and a circuit board 23. The circuit board 23 is fixedly connected inside the housing 22. The circuit board 23 is electrically connected to the plugging rod 1. The second connecting portion 21 is provided at one end of the housing 22. The circuit board 23 is the main control board of the main body 2, and the circuit board 23 integrates the functions of 4G wireless communication, GPS + Beidou positioning, and WIFI 6 near-field communication.

[0035] In this embodiment, the circuit board 23 is provided with a wireless communication module 231 and a positioning module 232. Both the wireless communication module 231 and the positioning module 232 are electrically connected to the circuit board 23. The wireless communication module 231 is used for wireless communication connection, and can be used to receive wireless network signals and send out wireless network signals. Users can access the wireless network through the wireless communication module 231. The positioning module 232 is used for GPS or Beidou positioning, and users can use the positioning module 232 to position or navigate the vehicle.

[0036] In this embodiment, the wireless communication module 231 includes a 4G antenna 2311 and a WIFI antenna 2312. Both the 4G antenna 2311 and the WIFI antenna 2312 are electrically connected to the circuit board 23. The 4G antenna 2311 is used to receive external 4G signals, and the WIFI antenna 2312 is used for WIFI connection. When in use, the 4G antenna 2311 receives 4G signals in the environment, and then users connect to the received 4G signals through the WIFI antenna 2312 to access the Internet.

[0037] In this embodiment, one end of the housing 22 is provided with a first power supply interface 221 and a second power supply interface 222. Both the first power supply interface 221 and the second power supply interface 222 are electrically connected to the circuit board 23.
