[0030] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 4 As shown: A ceiling-mounted wireless AP device includes a device body 1, which consists of an upper shell 3 and a lower shell 2. Several connecting posts 21 are provided inside the lower shell 2, and the connecting posts 21 have threaded grooves for screws to fix them. Several connecting holes 31 are provided from the top surface to the inner end of the upper shell 3. The connecting holes 31 are arranged opposite to the threaded grooves. In use, the upper shell 3 and the lower shell 2 can be assembled by connecting the connecting holes 31 and the threaded grooves with external screws.

[0031] Meanwhile, a base plate 23 is provided on the bottom surface of the lower housing 2, wherein the diameter of the base plate 23 is larger than the diameter of the lower housing 2, and at least two fixing parts 4 are provided on the outer side of the lower housing 2. A fixing member 5 is provided on the outer side of the fixing part 4, and one end of the fixing member 5 is connected to the fixing part 4. In use, the fixing member 5 can extend and move by relying on the fixing part 4, which facilitates the quick installation of the equipment on the wall after movement.

[0032] For example, during installation, holes of appropriate diameter can be pre-drilled in the ceiling. After drilling, the fastener 5 on the outer perimeter of the device is pressed inwards. After pressing, the fastener 5 can be retracted, allowing the entire device to fit into the corresponding hole. During this process, the upper part of the device will reach the space above the ceiling. Simultaneously, due to the lack of restriction on the fastener 5, it will unfold normally once it enters the space above, allowing it to contact the ceiling. After contact, the device can be quickly installed on the ceiling using an overlapping method.

[0033] Furthermore, due to the base plate 23, the entire device will not be completely sunk into the hole during installation.

[0034] Furthermore, several network cable interfaces 22 are provided inside the lower housing 2, and these interfaces extend through to the outer wall surface of the upper housing 3. In use, the network cable interfaces 22 are allowed to protrude from the exterior of the upper housing 3, allowing external network cables to be connected to the interfaces, thus enabling network access.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, the fixing part 4 is specifically a fixing hole 41, and the fixing element 5 is specifically a spring piece 51. The fixing hole 41 is formed on the outer surface of the lower housing 2, and one end of the spring piece 51 is detachably connected to the fixing hole 41 by a screw or pin. This design allows the spring piece 51 to be stably installed on the outer periphery of the lower housing 2. Because the spring piece 51 is thin and elastic, it can fit snugly against the outer periphery of the lower housing 2 during winding, allowing the entire device to be quickly inserted into the hole in the ceiling. At the same time, when the spring piece 51 reaches the space above the ceiling, it will unfold due to its own elasticity, allowing the device to be installed on the wall or ceiling.

[0036] Furthermore, the spring 51 is made of a flexible metal or plastic material, a design that allows either metal or plastic to meet the manufacturing requirements of the spring 51.

[0037] Based on the above embodiments, the fixing part 4 of this solution also has a second structural feature, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the fixing part 4 also includes a groove 6, which is connected to the outer wall surface of the upper housing 3 and the lower housing 2. When the fixing part 4 is the groove 6, the fixing member 5 is specifically a U-shaped support rod, and the top end of the support rod is hinged to the inner wall surface of the groove 6. At the same time, a torsion spring 61 is sleeved on the hinge axis of the support rod. One end of the torsion spring 61 abuts against the inner wall of the groove 6, while the other end is in stable contact with the inner side wall of the support rod. This design can use the support rod and the torsion spring 61 to replace the aforementioned spring piece 51. In actual installation, it is only necessary to press the support rod inward. After pressing it down, the equipment can be pushed into the drilled hole. At this time, the support rod can reach the space above the ceiling. Then, under the action of the torsion spring 61, the support rod will unfold outward, so that the support rod can contact the ceiling, and then the equipment can be installed on the wall.

[0038] Based on the above embodiments, the fixing part 4 of this solution also has a third structural feature, such as... Figure 4As shown, the fixing part 4 also includes a receiving groove 7, which is formed on the outer wall surface of the lower housing 2. When the fixing part 4 is the receiving groove 7, the fixing member 5 is specifically an arc-shaped block, one end of which is hinged to the receiving groove 7. Meanwhile, a spring 71 is provided between the inner wall of the groove 6 and the inner sidewall of the arc-shaped block. This design allows the arc-shaped block and spring 71 to replace the aforementioned spring piece 51. During actual installation, simply press the arc-shaped block towards the center, allowing it to fully engage with the receiving groove 7. Then, push the entire device into the drilled hole in the ceiling. Once the device has moved the arc-shaped block to the space above the ceiling, the spring 71 pushes the arc-shaped block outwards, allowing it to contact the ceiling surface and thus install the device on the ceiling.

[0039] like Figure 1 To be continued Figure 4 As shown, several heat dissipation holes 8 are also provided on the inner wall and outer side of the upper housing 3 and the lower housing 2. When the equipment is running, these heat dissipation holes 8 can form an air convection channel to effectively dissipate heat for the electrical components inside the housing and ensure stable operation of the equipment.

[0040] Additionally, it should be noted that this solution only describes the location of the network interface. Components such as the processor, memory, flash memory, wireless RF module, power module, and antenna, as core components of the wireless AP device, are existing, publicly known technologies; their specific installation locations and functions will not be elaborated upon in this solution.

[0041] Furthermore, the shapes of the upper shell 3 and the lower shell 2 can be any of cylindrical, rectangular, regular hexagonal, or triangular. It should be noted that in this design, only the cylindrical shell structure is depicted.

[0042] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are merely specific implementations of this application, used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and not to limit them. The protection scope of this application is not limited thereto. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that any person skilled in the art can still modify or easily conceive of changes to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments within the technical scope disclosed in this application, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
