[0038] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 It is the explosion view of the star chain terminal fixing device in an embodiment of the utility model, and the star chain terminal fixing mechanism includes shell 1 and shielding part 2, the shell 1 is formed with containing groove 1a and the first opening 1b being communicated with containing groove 1a, for the star chain terminal 3 being set through containing groove 1a and first opening 1b;Shielding part 2 is connected with shell 1, and the first opening 1b of containing groove 1a is closed.

[0039] By setting the shell 1, the shell 1 can be sleeved on the star chain terminal 3 through the first opening 1b and the accommodating groove 1a, and then the star chain terminal 3 is enclosed in the accommodating groove 1a by the shielding part 2, so that the hail and rain can be prevented from contacting the star chain terminal 3 in the star chain terminal fixing mechanism, and the hail and rain can be prevented from damaging the star chain terminal 3.

[0040] It should be understood that the star chain terminal fixing mechanism is used for but not limited to fixing and protecting the vehicle-mounted star chain terminal, and the star chain terminal fixing mechanism can be fixed on a building or the like.

[0041] It should be understood that the star chain terminal 3 refers to a hardware device used by a user to access the SpaceX star chain satellite Internet system. It is an interface between the user and the star chain satellite network, responsible for receiving and sending data, enabling the user to access Internet services.

[0042] It should be understood that the shape of the shielding part 2 can be plate-shaped, rectangular, square, circular, etc., and the material of the shielding part 2 can be glass, acrylic, etc. Specifically, as shown in Figure 5 in one embodiment, the shielding part 2 is square, and the shielding part 2 is made of light-transmitting acrylic material.

[0043] It should be understood that the shell 1 can only have the first opening 1b, or other openings can be provided, such as Figure 3 in one embodiment, the side of the shell 1 away from the shielding part 2 has a second opening 1c, and the second opening 1c communicates with the accommodating groove 1a.

[0044] By providing the second opening 1c, the second opening 1c can accommodate excess cables, and the second opening 1c can also be used for heat dissipation of the star chain terminal 3 outward; at the same time, when the shell 1 is fixed to the vehicle, the second opening 1c faces the vehicle, and the rain flows downward under the action of gravity and is not easy to enter the accommodating groove 1a from the second opening 1c.

[0045] It should be understood that the size of the accommodating groove 1a can be greater than, less than or equal to the size of the star chain terminal 3. When the size of the accommodating groove 1a is greater than the size of the star chain terminal 3, the star chain terminal 3 can move in the accommodating groove 1a, and when the size of the accommodating groove 1a is less than the size of the star chain terminal 3, the star chain terminal 3 needs to be enclosed together with the shielding part 2.

[0046] Specifically, as shown in Figure 1 in one embodiment, the size of the accommodating groove 1a cooperates with the size of the star chain terminal 3.

[0047] In this embodiment, by matching the size of the receiving groove 1a with that of the Starlink terminal 3, the Starlink terminal 3 can be fixed by the receiving groove 1a when it is built into the receiving groove 1a, thus preventing the Starlink terminal 3 from shaking or moving relative to the housing 1 and achieving the limitation of the Starlink terminal 3.

[0048] For different models and versions of Starlink Terminal 3, a receiving slot 1a can be designed to match different models of Starlink Terminal 3. Models of Starlink Terminal 3 include UTA-201, UTA-211, UTA-212, etc., as shown in the figure. Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, the receiving slot 1a is coupled with a Starlink terminal 3 of model UTA-212.

[0049] To facilitate the removal of Starlink Terminal 3 and the replacement of the Starlink Terminal fixing mechanism, therefore, as follows: Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the shielding part 2 is detachably connected to the housing 1.

[0050] When it is necessary to connect Starlink Terminal 3 to Starlink Terminal Fixing Mechanism, Starlink Terminal 3 is placed inside Housing 1, and then the shielding part 2 is connected to Housing 1. At this time, the shielding part 2 encloses Starlink Terminal 3 inside Housing 1. When Starlink Terminal Fixing Mechanism is no longer needed or needs to be replaced, the shielding part 2 is removed from Housing 1. At this time, Starlink Terminal 3 can be taken out from Receiving Slot 1a through the first opening 1b, and then a new Starlink Terminal Fixing Mechanism can be replaced.

[0051] It should be understood that the shielding part 2 and the housing 1 can be detachably connected by bolts, screws and clips.

[0052] The back of the Starlink Terminal 3 typically requires a power cord and a network cable to be connected. To facilitate this connection, the following steps are necessary: Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the outer side of the housing 1 has a cable channel 1d that communicates with the receiving groove 1a.

[0053] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to connect the power cord and network cable to the Starlink terminal 3, the cable is passed through the cable channel 1d into the housing 1 and connected to the Starlink terminal 3 inside the housing 1.

[0054] It should be understood that the cable channel 1d can be a notch, through hole, or through groove opened in the housing 1.

[0055] In order to reduce the weight of shell 1, therefore, as Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the housing 1 is formed with a stepped groove 1e, which is spaced apart from and surrounds the receiving groove 1a.

[0056] In this embodiment, by arranging the stepped groove 1e in the shell 1, the weight of the shell 1 can be reduced without reducing the outer diameter of the shell 1.

[0057] As shown in Figure 4 , the stepped groove 1e penetrates one side of the shell 1, and the penetration direction is opposite to the opening direction of the first opening 1b. The cable passage 1d is in communication with the stepped groove 1e.

[0058] Since the stepped groove 1e is arranged in the shell 1, the structural strength of the shell 1 is affected. Therefore, as shown in Figure 4 , in one embodiment, a reinforcing block 4 is arranged at the corner of the stepped groove 1e.

[0059] By arranging the reinforcing block 4 in the stepped groove 1e, the structural strength of the corner of the stepped groove 1e can be strengthened.

[0060] It should be understood that the reinforcing block 4 can be square, triangular, etc. The number of reinforcing blocks 4 can be one, two, and multiple, etc. The number of reinforcing blocks 4 is arranged according to the required structural strength.

[0061] In order to fix the shell 1 to the vehicle, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 , in one embodiment, a strip-shaped groove 1f and / or a through hole 1g are arranged on the side of the shell 1 opposite to the opening; the star chain terminal fixing mechanism further comprises a connecting part (not shown in the figure), which partially penetrates the strip-shaped groove 1f or the through hole 1g and is connected to the shell 1. The connecting part is any one of an adhesive, a suction cup, and a magnetic suction piece.

[0062] When it is necessary to connect the shell 1 to the vehicle, the connecting part is partially penetrated through the strip-shaped groove 1f and the through hole 1g, then the connecting part is connected to the shell 1, and finally the connecting part is fixed to the vehicle, thereby realizing the connection between the shell 1 and the connecting part.

[0063] It should be understood that the connecting part can be any one of an adhesive (not shown in the figure), a suction cup (not shown in the figure), and a magnetic suction piece (not shown in the figure). The adhesive can be a solid adhesive block or double-sided tape, which can be directly adhered to the glass and metal cover of the vehicle. The suction cup can be a combination of one or more suction cups, which can be adsorbed on the glass and metal cover of the vehicle, and the suction cup and the shell 1 can be connected by bolts, screws, buckles, etc. The magnetic suction piece can be an electromagnet or a permanent magnet, which can be magnetically attracted to the metal cover of the vehicle. The connecting part has bolts, screws, buckles, etc. The threaded ends of the bolts and screws penetrate the strip-shaped groove 1f and / or the through hole 1g, and are connected to the suction cup and the permanent magnet in the connecting part, so as to realize the connection between the connecting part and the shell 1.

[0064] It should be understood that the connecting part can also be connected to the shielding part 2 so that the Starlink terminal fixing mechanism can be fixed to the vehicle through the shielding part 2 and the connecting part.

[0065] To enhance the sealing between the shielding part 2 and the housing 1, therefore, as follows: Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the Starlink terminal fixing mechanism further includes a sealing ring 5, which is disposed between the housing 1 and the shielding part 2.

[0066] In this embodiment, a sealing ring 5 is provided between the housing 1 and the shielding part 2. The sealing ring 5 can seal any gaps that may exist between the housing 1 and the shielding part 2, so as to prevent moisture and dust from seeping inward from between the housing 1 and the shielding part 2.

[0067] It should be understood that the cross-section of the sealing ring 5 can be U-shaped, O-shaped, square, strip-shaped, etc.

[0068] When the shielding part 2 is connected to the housing 1, in order to seal the connection, for example... Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the shielding part 2 has a fixing hole 2a opposite to the sealing ring 5; the Starlink terminal fixing mechanism also includes a fixing part 6, a part of the fixing part 6 passes through the fixing hole 2a and the sealing ring 5 and is connected to the housing 1, and the other part of the fixing part 6 abuts against the side of the shielding part 2 away from the housing 1.

[0069] When it is necessary to connect the housing 1 and the shielding part 2, a part of the fixing part 6 passes through the fixing hole 2a and the sealing ring 5 and is connected to the housing 1, thus realizing the connection between the fixing part 6 and the shielding part 2. At the same time, since the fixing part 6 needs to pass through the shielding part 2, a fixing hole 2a needs to be opened on the shielding part 2, which may pose a risk of rainwater penetration at the fixing hole 2a position of the shielding part 2. In this embodiment, the fixing hole 2a is set relative to the sealing ring 5, and the shielding part 2 passes through the sealing ring 5. The sealing ring 5 can seal the fixing hole 2a and the passage of the fixing part 6, further preventing rainwater from penetrating into the housing 1.

[0070] The fixing part 6 can be a screw, bolt, or clip.
