Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of decoder technology, specifically to a broadcast television decoder. Background Technology

[0002] A decoder is a device or program that converts digital signals (such as audio, video, and images) into analog signals, and is widely used in audio, video, and image processing fields. Broadcast television decoders, also known as set-top boxes, can process signals from various sources, including digital television, satellite television, cable television, and internet television. Their core function is to convert these digital signals into visual image and audio signals so that users can receive and watch high-quality, high-definition broadcast television programs.

[0003] In existing technologies, broadcast television decoders are typically flat, box-like structures with largely similar shapes. They are usually placed directly on desktops or tabletops. However, placing these decoders on desktops or TV cabinets requires careful consideration of specific space, which not only limits user options but also risks the set-top box falling and being damaged during use if placed improperly. Furthermore, in public places such as shopping malls, train stations, and airports, playback equipment is often wall-mounted or suspended to save space. These installation structures are usually quite compact and lack dedicated flat surface space, making it difficult for traditional box-type broadcast television decoders to effectively integrate and be used with playback equipment, thus limiting their application in a wider range of scenarios.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need in the market for a broadcast television decoder that is reasonably designed, structurally novel, and easy to install, in order to solve the problems existing in the current technology. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem solved by this invention is to provide a broadcast television decoder, which can be used to solve the problems mentioned in the above-mentioned technical background.

[0006] The technical problem solved by this utility model is achieved by the following technical solution:

[0007] Broadcast television decoder, including structural accessories and decoder main unit;

[0008] The structural accessory includes a support structure, in which a power supply component is formed. The support structure has a power supply plug formed on the back side and an assembly slot formed on the front side, and a power supply contact piece is formed in the assembly slot. The power supply plug and the power supply contact piece are electrically connected to the power supply component.

[0009] The decoder host has an assembly part that matches the assembly slot. The matching of the assembly part and the assembly slot enables the decoder host to be detachably assembled on the structural accessories. The assembly part has conductive contacts that match the power supply contacts. In the assembled state, the decoder host can be powered on and operated by the matching contact between the conductive contacts and the power supply contacts.

[0010] As a further limitation, the housings of both the decoder host and the structural accessories are made of ABS or PC material.

[0011] As a further limitation, the power supply plug is a three-prong plug.

[0012] As a further limitation, the socket that matches the power plug is arranged horizontally so that the power plug is inserted into the socket from top to bottom.

[0013] As a further limitation, the structural accessory has a side insertion hole formed on the side of the support structure; and the data cable interface of the decoder host is located on the same side as the side insertion hole.

[0014] As a further limitation, the structural accessory is equipped with a heat dissipation structure on the support structure. The heat dissipation device is a combination of a cooling fan or a heat sink. The cooling fan is formed on the support structure, and the heat sink is attached to the decoder host to achieve effective heat dissipation of the decoder host during operation and ensure stable operation of the equipment.

[0015] As a further limitation, the assembly structure between the assembly slot and the assembly part is a plug-in structure or a snap-fit ​​structure. By setting the plug-in structure or snap-fit ​​structure, the decoder host can be easily assembled onto the structural accessory, and it is also easy to disassemble, thus improving the convenience of use.

[0016] As a further limitation, the structural accessory is also formed with a plug-in stabilizing structure, which is one or a combination of magnetic structure, adhesive structure, top-fixing structure, and elastic buckle structure. The plug-in stabilizing structure is used to provide anti-detachment auxiliary stability when the bracket structure is plugged into the socket.

[0017] Beneficial effects: The present invention has a reasonable structural design for broadcast television decoders. By detachably assembling the decoder host and structural accessories, and by directly assembling the structural accessories on the socket, the space required for the broadcast television decoder is saved. This design breaks the limitations of fixed installation of traditional box-type decoders, improves the flexibility and convenience of use, and is especially suitable for playback devices installed by wall mounting or suspension.

[0018] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

[0019] The components include: 1. Decoder host; 2. Insertion rail; 3. Limiting protrusion; 4. Slot; 5. Data cable interface; 6. Conductive contact; 7. Top and side guards; 8. Structural accessories; 9. Rubber gasket; 10. Type 86 junction box; 11. Power plug; 12. Side insertion hole; 13. Junction box assembly frame; 14. Plastic cable conduit. Detailed Implementation

[0020] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the following description, in conjunction with specific illustrations, further elaborates on this utility model.

[0021] See Figure 1 A preferred embodiment of the broadcast television decoder, in this embodiment, the broadcast television decoder includes an independently molded and used in conjunction with a structural accessory 8 and a decoder host 1. Both the decoder host 1 and the structural accessory 8 include an outer shell and functional components molded in the outer shell. The outer shells of both the decoder host 1 and the structural accessory 8 are injection molded from ABS plastic to ensure the aesthetics and durability of the product.

[0022] In this embodiment, the decoder host 1, as a functional component, has a functional configuration similar to a conventional box-type decoder. The only difference between its internal components and those of a conventional box-type decoder is the lack of a power module. In this embodiment, the data cable interface 5 of the decoder host 1 is located on the side of the decoder host 1's housing, and also on the back side of the decoder host 1's housing (corresponding to...). Figure 1 The lower surface of the decoder host 1 is formed with a male plug structure, which is a plug-in guide rail 2 with a limiting protrusion 3. At the same time, the base surface of the decoder host 1 on the back side of the outer shell corresponding to the male plug structure is also formed with conductive contacts 6. The data line interface 5 and the conductive contacts 6 are electrically connected to the functional components inside the decoder host 1.

[0023] Structural accessory 8, serving as the carrier and assembly part of the decoder host 1, is designed with ease of installation and stability in mind. The main body of structural accessory 8 is a bracket structure, within which the power supply assembly is integrated. Also located on the back side of the outer casing (corresponding to...) Figure 1 A power plug 11 is provided on the lower surface of the structural accessory 8, allowing the entire decoder to be powered through a standard socket without the need for an additional power adapter. This simplifies the installation process and reduces cable clutter. In this embodiment, the power plug 11 is designed as a three-prong plug. This design ensures the stability and safety of the power supply, and the three-prong plug also provides better insertion stability, making it less likely for the structural accessory 8 to fall off due to external force after being inserted into the corresponding socket.

[0024] The front of the corresponding support structure on structural attachment 8 (corresponding to) Figure 1 The upper surface of the structural attachment 8 has an assembly slot. The shape of the assembly slot matches the male plug-in structure on the back of the decoder host 1, allowing the decoder host 1 to be inserted and fixed in the assembly slot via the insertion guide 2. After insertion, the limiting protrusion 3 limits its position, preventing the decoder host 1 from accidentally falling off due to external force during use. A power supply contact is also formed on the inner side of the assembly slot. When the decoder host 1 is inserted, its conductive contact 6 on the back can contact the power supply contact formed on the inner side of the assembly slot, thus enabling the decoder host 1 to operate without the need for an additional power cord, further improving the ease of installation.

[0025] Figure 1 The embodiment shown illustrates the assembly diagram of a broadcast television decoder on a standard 86-type junction box 10. The corresponding 86-type junction box 10 is suspended by a junction box assembly bracket 13 and uses plastic cable trays 14 for wiring. This wiring structure of the junction box facilitates suspended installation and is a common power wiring method for simple suspended display devices (such as monitors, televisions, etc.).

[0026] When installing the broadcast television decoder on the aforementioned type 86 junction box 10, the power supply plug 11 of the structural accessory 8 is first inserted into the corresponding power supply socket on the type 86 junction box 10. After insertion, the decoder host 1 is fixed in the mounting slot of the structural accessory 8. After insertion, the decoder host 1 draws power from the type 86 junction box 10 through the combination of conductive contacts 6 / power supply contacts using the power module in the structural accessory 8 to enable the decoder host 1 to operate. Then, the user can select the corresponding connector from the data cable interface 5 to connect to the display device according to actual needs to transmit and receive relevant audio and video signals. This design not only simplifies the installation steps and reduces installation costs, but also improves the safety and convenience of use.

[0027] Furthermore, structural accessory 8 has side insertion holes 12 formed on the side of the bracket structure. This design allows structural accessory 8 to function as a power strip. When the number of sockets on the corresponding 86-type junction box 10 is insufficient, the power cords of related devices (such as display devices) can be directly powered from the side insertion holes 12, avoiding cable clutter and tangling caused by additional wiring. With the side insertion holes 12 provided, the data cable interface 5 of the decoder host 1 is located on the same side of the structural accessory 8 as the corresponding side insertion hole 12, facilitating the connection and management of data cables and power cables.

[0028] In other embodiments, considering heat dissipation, structural accessory 8 is further equipped with a combined heat dissipation structure of a cooling fan and heat sink on the support structure. The cooling fan is integrated into the support structure, while the heat sink is in close contact with the decoder host 1. This design ensures effective heat dissipation of the decoder host 1 during operation, preventing equipment failure caused by overheating.

[0029] In this embodiment, to reduce the risk of the broadcast television decoder falling off the 86-type junction box 10 due to its own weight, the 86-type junction box 10 is preferably arranged horizontally. Simultaneously, the corresponding structural accessory 8 can also provide a top-fixing side stop 7 on one side of the lower part of the support structure. The inner surface of the top-fixing side stop 7 is lined with a rubber gasket 9. After the power plug 11 is inserted into the power socket on the 86-type junction box 10, the rubber gasket 9 abuts against the side of the 86-type junction box 10 in the manner shown in the figure to provide anti-detachment auxiliary stability and prevent accidental detachment or damage to the equipment during use.

[0030] In another embodiment, in order to further improve the performance of the top-fixed side block 7, a top block with a compression spring can be provided on the top side of the top-fixed side block 7, so that the top block abuts against the side of the 86-type junction box 10 in a compressed state to further improve the stability of the installation.

[0031] In another embodiment, the corresponding top-mounted side stop 7 can be replaced by one or a combination of magnetic, adhesive, or elastic snap-fit ​​structures. For example, adhesive tape can be applied to the contact surfaces of the 86-type junction box 10 and the structural accessory 8, with magnetic sheets formed on the tape surface. Magnetic attraction enhances the connection stability between the structural accessory 8 and the 86-type junction box 10. Alternatively, an elastic snap-fit ​​can be provided on the support structure of the structural accessory 8. This snap-fit ​​can engage with the edge of the 86-type junction box 10 after the power plug 11 is inserted into its socket, thus limiting and fixing the connection. This design also improves the stability of the broadcast television decoder installed on the 86-type junction box 10.

[0032] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Furthermore, it should be understood that after reading the technical content of this utility model, those skilled in the art can make various alterations, modifications, and / or variations to this utility model, and all such equivalent forms also fall within the scope of protection defined by the appended claims.
