Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of communications, and in particular to a connection structure for a router antenna. Background Art

[0002] With the development of wireless communication, Wi-Fi has become increasingly important in our daily life and work. As the carrier of Wi-Fi, routers often appear in every corner of life. A router, also known as a gateway device, is used to connect multiple logically separate networks. The logical network represents a separate network or a subnet. When data is transmitted from one subnet to another, it can be completed through the routing function of the router. The transmission and reception of router signals need to be completed with the help of antennas.

[0003] The antennas of routers are generally several rod-shaped structures. Several router antennas are hinged to the router body. The router antennas can rotate within a certain range around the hinge axis. The connection seat connected to the hinge axis is usually fixedly connected to the router body. However, the way the connection seat of the hinge axis is fixed to the router body has certain defects. The router antennas are restricted to one side of the router body where the connection seat is located. In this way, when the installation space is limited and the width of the installation space is narrow enough only to completely accommodate the router body, it is difficult to place the router antennas on the back of the router body. The fixed connection seat makes it impossible for the router antennas to move to the side, so it is difficult to adjust to a suitable installation position. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] In order to solve the problem that the router antennas cannot move from the back to the side due to the connection seat of the hinge axis being fixed to the router body, this application provides a connection structure for a router antenna.

[0005] The connection structure for a router antenna provided by this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A connection structure for a router antenna includes a router antenna and a router base. The router base includes a bottom plate, a back plate and a side plate, and further includes a connection seat. The router antenna is hinged to the connection seat. A rotating shaft is fixed on the connection seat. The rotating shaft passes through the bottom plate. The rotating shaft is located at the corner of the router base. The rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the router base so that the router antenna can rotate from one side of the back plate to one side of the side plate.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the router antenna is hinged to the connecting seat, a rotating shaft is fixed on the connecting seat, the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the router base, the connecting seat rotates through the rotating shaft, the rotation of the connecting seat drives the rotation of the router antenna, the rotating shaft is located at the corner of the router base, and the connecting seat fixedly connected to the rotating shaft is also located at the corner. The corner connects the back plate and the side plate, and the rotation of the connecting seat drives the router antenna to rotate from one side of the back plate to one side of the side plate. When the installation space is narrow and cannot accommodate the router antenna on the back plate side but can accommodate the router antenna on the side plate side, the router antenna is moved from one side of the back plate to one side of the side plate by rotating the connecting seat to realize the installation of the router antenna.

[0008] Preferably, the router base has a mounting shaft, the rotating shaft is inserted into the mounting shaft, and the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the mounting shaft.

[0009] Preferably, one end of the rotating shaft away from the connecting seat has a buckle, and the buckle is stuck on the mounting shaft to limit the rotating shaft from disengaging from the mounting shaft.

[0010] Preferably, the buckle is an annular protrusion at one end of the rotating shaft away from the connecting seat, the buckle extends outward in the radial direction of the rotating shaft, and the outer circumference of the buckle has a guiding surface for guiding the buckle to be inserted into the mounting shaft.

[0011] Preferably, the buckle has a clamping inclined surface, the clamping inclined surface abuts against the mounting shaft, and the clamping inclined surface inclines towards the insertion direction of the buckle along the direction away from the central axis of the rotating shaft.

[0012] Preferably, the connecting seat has a cavity, the rotating shaft has a through hole, and the through hole is communicated with the cavity.

[0013] Preferably, a relief groove is formed in the rotating shaft along the length direction of the rotating shaft, and the relief groove is located at one end of the rotating shaft away from the connecting seat.

[0014] Preferably, there is a gap between the connecting seat and the router base. A plurality of orientation bars are arranged around the rotating shaft on the connecting seat at intervals, and a fixing bar is arranged on the router base. The orientation bars and the fixing bar are located in the gap. When the connecting seat rotates and the orientation bars abut against the fixing bar, the orientation bars and / or the fixing bar are deformed by extrusion, and the fixing bar is restricted between adjacent orientation bars after entering between adjacent orientation bars.

[0015] Preferably, it further includes a router box cover. One side of the router box cover facing the router base has a fixing post, and the fixing post is inserted into the through hole of the rotating shaft.

[0016] Preferably, the fixing column has an opening for wire routing, and the opening communicates with the through hole of the rotating shaft.

[0017] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0018] It has a wide range of application scenarios and stronger inclusiveness for the installation space. The router antenna can be rotated from the back side to the side, facilitating the adjustment of the router antenna to a suitable position during installation and debugging;

[0019] It has good fixing effect. The fixing strip can be restricted between adjacent guiding strips, enabling the connection base to be relatively fixed after rotation, thereby restricting any swinging of the connection base and the router antenna under external force;

[0020] It has a long service life. After a certain amount of wear on the fixing strip and the guiding strip, the setting of the clamping inclined surface can reduce the gap between the connection base and the router base, so that the fixing strip and the guiding strip can still squeeze each other, and the fixing strip can still be restricted between adjacent guiding strips.

Detailed implementation manners

[0029] The following further describes the present application in detail with reference to the Figure 1-7 accompanying drawings.

[0030] An embodiment of the present application discloses a connection structure for a router antenna. Referring to Figure 1 , the router with a rotatable antenna includes a router base 1, a router antenna 2, and a connecting seat 3. The base of the router is used to install the router PCB board and other router accessories. The router antenna 2 is used for receiving and transmitting signals. A PCB board connected to the router PCB board is installed inside the router antenna 2. The connecting seat 3 is used to connect the router base 1 and the router antenna 2. The connecting seat 3 is located at the corner of the router base 1. The router base 1 is rotatably connected to the connecting seat 3. The router antenna 2 is located on one side of the router base 1. The router antenna 2 is hinged to the connecting seat 3. The router antenna 2 is rotatably connected to the router base 1 through the connecting seat 3. When the connecting seat 3 rotates, it drives the router antenna 2 to rotate from one side of the router base 1 to the other side of the router base 1. Therefore, in the case of limited installation space, the router antenna 2 can be adjusted to a suitable installation position.

[0031] The router base 1 includes a back plate 11, a bottom plate 12, and side plates 13 on both sides. Power or network interfaces and the like are reserved on the back plate 11. The router PCB board and other router accessories are installed on the bottom plate 12. With the bottom plate 12 as the bottom surface, the side plates 13 on both sides and the back plate 11 enclose the box body of the router. The connecting seat 3 is located at the corner of the router base 1. The corner is the area where the back plate 11 and the side plate 13 are connected to each other. A rotating shaft 31 is fixed on the connecting seat 3. The rotating shaft 31 can be fixedly connected to the connecting seat 3 or detachably connected to the connecting seat 3. In this embodiment, the rotating shaft 31 is integrally provided with the connecting seat 3. The rotating shaft 31 penetrates through the bottom plate 12 at the corner. The rotation of the rotating shaft 31 drives the connecting seat 3 to rotate, and the rotation of the connecting seat 3 drives the router antenna 2 to rotate from one side of the back plate 11 to one side of the side plate 13.

[0032] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2, the router base 1 is provided with a mounting shaft 14 for inserting the rotating shaft 31. The mounting shaft 14 is arranged on the bottom plate 12, and the rotating shaft 31 is rotatably connected to the mounting shaft 14. As a preferred way, the rotating shaft 31 and the mounting shaft 14 are concentric hollow shafts. The rotating shaft 31 can rotate around the central axis of the rotating shaft 31 / mounting shaft 14, thereby driving the connecting seat 3 to rotate around the central axis of the rotating shaft 31 / mounting shaft 14. Obviously, at least one of the rotating shaft 31 and the mounting shaft 14 needs to be a hollow shaft to complete the mutual insertion and achieve the rotational connection.

[0033] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , a plurality of orientation bars 32 are arranged around the rotating shaft 31 on the connecting seat 3 at intervals. Preferably, the adjacent orientation bars 32 are equally spaced. The number of the orientation bars 32 is at least two. The router base 1 is provided with a fixing bar 15, and the number of the fixing bars 15 is at least one.

[0034] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 4 , there is a gap 4 between the connecting seat 3 and the router base 1. The orientation bars 32 and the fixing bar 15 are located in the gap 4. The width of the gap 4 can accommodate the orientation bars 32 and the fixing bar 15 when their positions are staggered. When the positions of the orientation bars 32 and the fixing bar 15 coincide, the width of the gap 4 causes the orientation bars 32 and the fixing bar 15 to squeeze and abut against each other. In other words, when the connecting seat 3 rotates, the orientation bars 32 will rotate to abut against the fixing bar 15. The orientation bars 32 or the fixing bar 15 can deform, or both the orientation bars 32 and the fixing bar 15 can deform. After the orientation bars 32 rotate to abut against the fixing bar 15, the orientation bars 32 and / or the fixing bar 15 are squeezed and deformed. After the fixing bar 15 enters between two adjacent orientation bars 32, it is restricted between the adjacent orientation bars 32. Further, by setting different numbers of orientation bars 32, different rotation gears can be set. The fixing bar 15 being restricted between the adjacent orientation bars 32 can keep the connecting seat 3 and the router base 1 relatively fixed, thereby preventing any rotation and swing of the connecting seat 3.

[0035] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 4, the connecting seat 3 includes a first connecting seat 333 and a second connecting seat 343 which are integrally provided. The first connecting seat 333 is located on one side of the bottom plate 12, and the rotating shaft 31 is fixed on the first connecting seat 333. The second connecting seat 343 is located on one side of the back plate 11 / side plate 13, and the router antenna 2 is hinged on the second connecting seat 343. When the rotating shaft 31 rotates, the first connecting seat 333 abuts against the bottom plate 12 and rotates, and the second connecting seat 343 can rotate from one side of the back plate 11 to one side of the side plate 13, and can also rotate from one side of the side plate 13 to one side of the back plate 11. Therefore, the router antenna 2 can rotate between one side of the back plate 11 and one side of the side plate 13 driven by the second connecting seat 343. Preferably, the orientation strip 32 is located on the first connecting seat 333, the fixing strip 15 is located on the bottom plate 12, and there is a gap 4 between the first connecting seat 333 and the bottom plate 12. When the fixing strip 15 is restricted between adjacent orientation strips 32, the first connecting seat 333 is kept relatively fixed.

[0036] Refer to Figure 2 and Figure 5 , in addition, the connecting seat 3 has a cavity 35, and the rotating shaft 31 has a through hole 311 which is communicated with the cavity 35. Both the first connecting seat 333 and the second connecting seat 343 have a cavity 35, and the cavity 35 of the first connecting seat 333 is communicated with the cavity 35 of the second connecting seat 343. The router wiring can penetrate into the first connecting seat 333 from the second connecting seat 343 and then penetrate out from the rotating shaft 31.

[0037] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5 , one end of the rotating shaft 31 away from the connecting seat 3 has a buckle 312, and the buckle 312 is stuck on the mounting shaft 14 to prevent the rotating shaft 31 from disengaging from the mounting shaft 14. Obviously, the buckle 312 can be replaced as a preferred method. In another embodiment, the way of using the cover of the router to press on the rotating shaft 31 can also prevent the rotating shaft 31 from disengaging from the mounting shaft 14. A specific embodiment of the buckle 312 is designed as an annular protrusion extending outward in the radial direction of the rotating shaft 31. The buckle 312 is located at one end of the rotating shaft 31 away from the connecting seat 3, and the outer circumference of the buckle 312 has a guiding surface 313 for guiding the buckle 312 to be inserted into the mounting shaft 14. A relief groove 314 is formed in the rotating shaft 31 along the length direction of the rotating shaft 31. The relief groove 314 is located at one end of the rotating shaft 31 away from the connecting seat 3, and the relief groove 314 provides a deformation space for the rotating shaft 31. Preferably, the two relief grooves 314 are located at symmetrical positions on the rotating shaft 31. When the buckle 312 is inserted into the mounting shaft 14, the rotating shaft 31 is deformed by extrusion, and the two side walls of the relief groove 314 approach each other. When the buckle 312 passes through the mounting shaft 14, the elastic force of the rotating shaft 31 to return to its original position causes the buckle 312 to be clamped tightly on the mounting shaft 14.

[0038] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the buckle 312 has a clamping inclined surface 315 which abuts against the mounting shaft 14, and the clamping inclined surface 315 inclines towards the insertion direction of the buckle 312 along the direction away from the central axis of the rotating shaft 31. The clamping inclined surface 315 is provided to reduce the gap 4 between the connecting seat 3 and the router base 1 after the fixing strip 15 and the guiding strip 32 are worn, so that the fixing strip 15 and the guiding strip 32 can still be pressed against each other, and the fixing strip 15 can still be restricted between the adjacent guiding strips 32. When the guiding strip 32 and the fixing strip 15 are not worn, the mounting shaft 14 abuts against one end of the clamping inclined surface 315 close to the central axis of the rotating shaft 31. After the guiding strip 32 and the fixing strip 15 are worn, the position where the mounting shaft 14 abuts against the clamping inclined surface 315 shifts towards one end of the clamping inclined surface 315 away from the central axis of the rotating shaft 31, so that the width of the gap 4 is reduced, and the guiding strip 32 can still undergo extrusion deformation when abutting against the fixing strip 15, and the fixing strip 15 is restricted between the adjacent guiding strips 32.

[0039] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the router with a rotatable antenna further includes a router box cover 5 which covers the router base 1. The side of the router box cover 5 facing the router base 1 has a fixing column 51, and the fixing column 51 is inserted into the through hole 311 of the rotating shaft 31 to prevent the rotating shaft 31 from being extruded and deformed and disengaging from the mounting shaft 14. The fixing column 51 has an opening 511 for wire routing, and the opening 511 is communicated with the through hole 311 of the rotating shaft 31. The router wire can pass through the opening 511 and out of the rotating shaft 31. Further, the opening 511 is opened in the part of the fixing column 51 that is not inserted into the rotating shaft 31, so that the through hole 311 is communicated with the inside of the router box, and the router wire can pass through the opening 511 to the inside of the router box and be connected to the wires inside the box. Obviously, the opening 511 can be replaced as a preferred method. When the length of the relief groove 314 is long and the fixing column 51 cannot completely seal the relief groove 314, the router wire can pass through the relief groove 314.

[0040] The implementation principle of the connection structure of a router antenna in an embodiment of this application is as follows: The rotating shaft 31 located at the corner is rotatably connected to the mounting shaft 14, enabling the first connecting seat 333 to rotate around the central axis of the rotating shaft 31. The rotation of the first connecting seat 333 drives the rotation of the second connecting seat 343, so that the router antenna 2 hinged to the second connecting seat 343 can rotate from one side of the back plate 11 to one side of the side plate 13. After the directional strip 32 rotates to abut against the fixed strip 15, the directional strip 32 and / or the fixed strip 15 are deformed by extrusion. After the fixed strip 15 enters between two adjacent directional strips 32, it is restricted between the adjacent directional strips 32, so that when the first connecting seat 333 rotates to a certain position, it remains relatively fixed to the bottom plate 12, preventing the position of the router antenna 2 from changing due to any swinging of the connecting seat 3 under external force.

[0041] The above are all the preferred embodiments of this application. The protection scope of this application is not limited accordingly. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of this application should be covered within the protection scope of this application.
