[0037] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0038] Example 1: A rotatable and foldable antenna for a router, see [link / reference] Figures 1 to 4 The system includes a rotating base 1, an antenna tube A2, and an antenna tube B3. The rotating base 1 is connected to the router. The inner end of the antenna tube A2 is rotatably connected to the outer end of the rotating base 1. One side of the inner end of the antenna tube B3 is rotatably connected to one side of the outer end of the antenna tube A2 via a hinge 4. The other side of the inner end of the antenna tube B3 is positioned and engaged with the other side of the outer end of the antenna tube A2 via a positioning structure 5.

[0039] The positioning structure 5 includes an arc-shaped block A501, an arc-shaped block B502, a connecting block 503, an L-shaped block 504, and a spring 505; the arc-shaped block A501 is fixed to the other side of the outer wall of the outer end of the antenna tube A2;

[0040] Arc-shaped block B502 is fixed to the other side of the outer wall of the inner end of antenna tube B3; connecting block 503 is fixed to the outside of arc-shaped block A501; the longitudinal section of L-shaped block 504 passes through the hole on arc-shaped block A501; wherein, the longitudinal section of L-shaped block 504 and the hole on arc-shaped block B502 are fitted together; spring 505 is arranged between the transverse section of L-shaped block 504 and connecting block 503, and the two ends of spring 505 are fixedly connected to the transverse section of L-shaped block 504 and connecting block 503 respectively. The elastic coefficient of spring 505 shall be selected and used by the technical personnel of this profession according to the actual situation.

[0041] This utility model, by setting up antenna tube A2, antenna tube B3, hinge 4, arc block A501, arc block B502, connecting block 503, L-shaped block 504 and spring 505, has the advantages that antenna tube A2 and antenna tube B3 can be folded to reduce space occupation, and can also be unfolded and positioned side by side. It solves the problem that long straight antennas occupy more space and the possibility of collision during antenna movement is also increased.

[0042] Specifically, the lateral end of the L-shaped block 504 extends outward, and there is a distance between the lateral end of the L-shaped block 504 and the spring 505; there is no obstruction when the operator presses the lateral end of the L-shaped block 504, making it easy to operate.

[0043] Furthermore, the wire hole of antenna tube A2 corresponds to the wire hole of antenna tube B3, making it convenient to pass wires after antenna tubes A2 and B3 are aligned.

[0044] Furthermore, antenna tube A2 and antenna tube B3 are folded and connected by limiting structure 6;

[0045] The limiting structure 6 includes a fixing block 601 and a retaining ring 602; the fixing block 601 is fixed to the outer wall of the antenna tube A2; the retaining ring 602 is fixed to the outer end of the fixing block 601; wherein the opening of the retaining ring 602 faces outward; wherein the antenna tube B3 is engaged with the retaining ring 602.

[0046] This utility model, by setting a fixing block 601 and a retaining ring 602, has the advantage of locking and positioning the folded antenna tube B3 and antenna tube A2, thus maintaining the stability of the folded antenna tube B3 and antenna tube A2.

[0047] It is worth noting that the two ends of the opening of the retaining ring 602 are respectively set as arcs, so that the antenna tube B3 can be easily inserted into the end of the opening of the retaining ring 602.

[0048] Working principle: When using the device of this utility model, antenna tube A2 and antenna tube B3 are in a folded state when the router is moved, and antenna tube B3 is inserted into the retaining ring 602. When the router is in use, antenna tube B3 is rotated out from the retaining ring 602, and the horizontal end of L-shaped block 504 is pressed down. Spring 505 is stretched, and the vertical section of L-shaped block 504 moves accordingly, aligning antenna tube A2 and antenna tube B3, so that the wire hole of antenna tube A2 corresponds to the wire hole of antenna tube B3. The horizontal end of L-shaped block 504 is released, and under the action of spring 505, the vertical section of L-shaped block 504 moves back until the vertical section of L-shaped block 504 passes through the hole on arc-shaped block B502, thus positioning antenna tube A2 and antenna tube B3.

Those skilled in the art can readily grasp the spirit of this utility model based on the above embodiments and make different extensions and variations.
