[0032] First outer shell 1;
[0033] Mainboard 2 is fixedly connected inside the first outer casing 1;
[0034] The motherboard extension grounding foam 3 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the motherboard 2;
[0035] The first grounding fixing groove 4 is located inside the first outer shell 1, and the motherboard extension grounding foam 3 is fixedly connected to the first grounding fixing groove 4.

[0037] The second grounding fixing groove 6 is located inside the first outer shell 1, and the antenna grounding foam 5 is fixedly connected to the second grounding fixing groove 6.
[0038] In a specific embodiment of this utility model, by placing the FPC antennas inside the two external rotatable brackets inside the main body and fastening them to the motherboard 2 with coaxial cables, the assembly and production process is optimized. The shell material factory can directly deliver the integrated rotating bracket, eliminating the need for the antenna to be processed by the shell material factory first, and then the bracket and decorative cover are ultrasonically heat-fused together before being delivered to the assembly plant for assembly. Simultaneously, conductive cloth 15 is applied inside the shell material, extending the motherboard ground through the motherboard grounding point, thereby reducing radio frequency interference and improving antenna performance stability. The main antenna has an exposed copper area, and the exposed copper area and the motherboard exposed copper area are interconnected and grounded through conductive foam, allowing… Antenna interference noise is introduced to the motherboard ground through grounding, eliminating interference and improving antenna reception performance. In this structure, when the CPE device is working, the electromagnetic signal generated by the motherboard 2 can achieve good electrical connection through the contact between the motherboard extended grounding foam 3 and the antenna grounding foam 5 and the first grounding fixing groove 4 and the second grounding fixing groove 6, ensuring stable operation of the antenna system. In addition, the application of conductive cloth 15 further enhances the radio frequency shielding effect inside the device and ensures the quality of signal transmission. This design not only simplifies the assembly steps in the manufacturing process, but also improves the overall performance and reliability of the product.
[0039] Please refer to the details. Figures 1-6 Multiple supports 7 are fixedly connected inside the first outer shell 1, and a main board 2 is fixedly connected to one side of each of the multiple supports 7. A second outer shell 8 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the first outer shell 1.
[0040] In this embodiment: the plate 2 is stably installed and positioned inside the first outer shell 1, while the lower end of the first outer shell 1 is fixedly connected to the second outer shell 8, forming a complete protective structure. The support 7 not only provides physical support for the main board 2, but also ensures a stable connection between the main board 2 and the first outer shell 1, preventing the main board 2 from shifting or being damaged due to external vibration or impact. The combination of the second outer shell 8 and the first outer shell 1 enhances the mechanical strength and protective performance of the overall equipment.
[0041] Please refer to the details. Figures 1-6 Two anti-slip pads 9 are fixedly connected to the lower end of the second outer shell 8.
[0042] In this embodiment, the anti-slip pad 9 increases the friction between the CPE device and the contact surface to prevent the CPE device from shifting due to external vibration or slight collision. At the same time, the two anti-slip pads 9 are symmetrically distributed at the lower end of the second housing 8 to provide uniform support, ensuring that the device is placed horizontally and avoiding problems such as poor signal reception or uneven pressure on internal components of the device due to tilting.
[0043] Please refer to the details. Figures 1-6 The first outer shell 1 has a WIFI antenna receiver 10 and a diversity antenna receiver 11 on its two sides respectively.

[0044] In this embodiment, the WIFI antenna receiver 10 and the diversity antenna receiver 11 rotate around the pivot 12 within the rotating groove 13 to adjust the antenna angle and optimize the signal reception direction. At the same time, the cooperation between the pivot 12 and the rotating groove 13 ensures the stable installation and flexible rotation of the antenna receiver, making it easy for users to adjust the antenna position according to actual environmental needs and improve the wireless signal reception performance.
[0045] Please refer to the details. Figures 1-6 Two limiting posts 14 are fixedly connected to one side of each of the two WIFI antenna receivers 10 and the diversity antenna receiver 11.
[0046] In this embodiment, the limiting post 14 provides physical restriction during the rotation of the antenna receiver, preventing excessive rotation of the rotating shaft 12 that could cause structural damage or cause the antenna position to exceed the predetermined range. This ensures that the antenna can be flexibly adjusted within a specified angle while remaining stable. This design helps maintain the antenna's optimal working state and guarantees signal reception quality.
[0047] Please refer to the details. Figures 1-6 Multiple conductive cloths 15 are fixedly connected inside the first outer shell 1, and a fixture 16 is fixedly connected inside the first outer shell 1. A main board 2 is fixedly connected to one side of the fixture 16.
[0048] In this embodiment: the conductive cloth 15 is used to reduce radio frequency interference and enhance the stability of antenna performance. It provides a wider grounding effect by extending the motherboard ground. The motherboard 2 is fixedly installed on one side of the fixture 16. This design ensures that the motherboard 2 is stably installed in the first housing 1. At the same time, the conductive cloth 15 is connected to the ground wire of the motherboard 2, which can effectively shield electromagnetic interference, improve the purity of the signal inside the device, and ensure the quality and stability of signal transmission.

Two anti-slip pads 9 are fixedly installed on the lower end of the second housing 8 to increase the stability when the device is placed. Afterward, a WIFI antenna receiver 10 and a diversity antenna receiver 11 are respectively set on both sides of the first housing 1. One side of these two receivers is rotatably installed through a pivot 12 and a rotating groove 13 opened on both sides of the first housing 1, allowing the antenna receivers to rotate around the pivot 12. The rotation angle is adjusted, and at the same time, limit posts 14 are fixedly installed on one side of the two WIFI antenna receivers 10 and the diversity antenna receiver 11 to limit the rotation range and prevent excessive rotation. Finally, multiple conductive cloths 15 are fixedly installed inside the first housing 1 to enhance the radio frequency shielding effect, and a fixture 16 is installed. The main board 2 is fixedly installed on one side of the fixture 16 to ensure the stable installation of the main board 2 inside the first housing 1, thus completing the assembly of the entire CPE device. This device can achieve direct connection between the main body and the main board through a coaxial cable to optimize the assembly production process, so that the housing manufacturer can directly provide products with integrated rotating brackets without prior separate antenna processing and additional ultrasonic heat melting process.
