Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of router technology, specifically to a router upper and lower shell structure that is easy to quickly snap together. Background Technology

[0002] A router is a hardware device that connects two or more networks, acting as a gateway between them. It's a dedicated, intelligent network device that reads the address in each data packet and determines how to transmit it. Routers typically consist of upper and lower casings and internal components such as circuit boards. The way the upper and lower casings are connected significantly impacts the router's assembly efficiency and operational stability.

[0003] Currently, most routers use screws to connect the top and bottom shells. This method requires tools during assembly, making it cumbersome and time-consuming. Furthermore, removing the screws is difficult during subsequent maintenance and repairs, hindering quick access to inspect and replace internal components. Additionally, some routers use snap-fit ​​connections, where the snaps are integrated with the shell, making them prone to breakage, difficult to replace, and resulting in low stability.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a router upper and lower shell structure that is easy to quickly snap together to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a router upper and lower shell structure that is easy to snap together quickly, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A router upper and lower shell structure that facilitates quick and easy assembly, comprising:

[0008] The lower housing has a mounting groove on its top, and the upper housing is snapped into the lower housing through the mounting groove. Insert blocks are fixedly installed on both sides of the bottom of the upper housing. The inner wall of the mounting groove has slots corresponding to the position and number of the insert blocks, and the insert blocks slide into the slots at the corresponding positions. Guide grooves are provided on the upper sides of both sides of the lower housing.

[0009] The lower housing is slidably connected to symmetrically distributed positioning components via guide grooves. Positioning grooves are provided on the lower sides of the two insert blocks on opposite sides, and the positioning grooves are engaged with the positioning components. A reset mechanism is provided at the bottom of the positioning components.

[0010] Preferably, countersunk grooves are provided on the upper sides of both sides of the lower housing, and the countersunk grooves correspond to the guide grooves.

[0031] Please see Figures 1-6 One embodiment provided by this utility model:

[0032] A router upper and lower shell structure that facilitates quick and easy assembly, comprising:

[0033] The lower housing 1 has a mounting groove 3 on its top. The upper housing 2 is snapped into the lower housing 1 through the mounting groove 3. Insert blocks 5 are fixedly installed on both sides of the bottom of the upper housing 2. The inner wall of the mounting groove 3 has slots 17 corresponding to the position and number of insert blocks 5. The insert blocks 5 are slidably inserted into the slots 17 at the corresponding positions. Guide grooves 14 are provided on the upper sides of both sides of the lower housing 1.

[0034] The lower housing 1 is slidably connected to symmetrically distributed positioning members 7 via guide groove 14. Positioning grooves 6 are provided on the lower sides of the two insert blocks 5 on opposite sides, and the positioning grooves 6 are engaged with the positioning members 7. A reset mechanism is provided at the bottom of the positioning members 7.

[0035] Countersunk grooves 13 are provided on the upper sides of both sides of the lower housing 1, and the countersunk grooves 13 correspond to the guide grooves 14. A pressing plate 4 is provided on one side of the positioning member 7 inside the countersunk groove 13. The pressing plate 4 is threadedly connected to a bolt 15 through a threaded hole on it, and the bolt 15 is threadedly connected to the threaded groove on one side of the positioning member 7 inside the countersunk groove 13.

[0036] In one embodiment, the reset mechanism includes a fixing groove 9, which is located at the bottom of the positioning member 7. A connecting post 11 is threaded onto the fixing groove 9. A limiting post 8 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the connecting post 11. A spring 12 is provided between the limiting post 8 and the inner wall of the lower housing 1.

[0037] In one preferred embodiment, an annular groove 16 is provided on the outer wall of the limiting post 8, and an annular movable member 10 is rotatably mounted on the limiting post 8. The outer wall of the annular movable member 10 is fixedly connected to one end of the spring 12, and the other end of the spring 12 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the lower housing 1.

[0038] In one embodiment, the positioning member 7 is located on one side inside the lower housing 1 and is inclined, and the positioning member 7 is adapted to the positioning groove 6, which facilitates the quick installation of the upper housing 2 and the lower housing 1.

[0039] In one preferred embodiment, the inner wall of the mounting groove 3 is stepped, and the mounting groove 3 is adapted to the upper shell 2, which increases the contact area and connection stability, and can also play a positioning and guiding role.

[0040] In one embodiment, the extrusion plate 4 is adapted to the countersunk groove 13, and the extrusion plate 4 and the inner wall of the countersunk groove 13 are slidably connected. When not in operation, the two are perfectly closed, which improves the overall aesthetics of the router.

[0041] In one preferred embodiment, a sealing strip is provided at the connection between the upper housing 2 and the mounting groove 3, which can enhance the sealing effect, effectively prevent dust and moisture, protect the internal electronic components of the router, and extend its service life.

[0042] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: All parts not described herein are the same as or can be implemented using existing technology. When disassembling the upper housing 2, the user directly presses down on the pressing plates 4 on both sides of the housing 1, causing the pressing plates 4 to slide into the countersunk groove 13. The movement of the pressing plates 4 causes the positioning member 7 to slide on the guide groove 14. The movement of the positioning member 7 elastically stretches the spring 12 with the help of the limiting post 8. As the positioning member 7 moves, it disengages from the locking state with the positioning groove 6 on the plug 5. At this time, the upper housing 2, having lost the positioning function of the positioning member 7, can be directly removed from the mounting groove 3. Simultaneously, the plug 5 slides out of the slot 17 along with the upper housing 2, thus completing the disassembly of the upper housing 2. To facilitate the removal of the upper housing 2 from the mounting groove 3 after the positioning function of the positioning member 7 is lost, the router can be lifted as a whole and inverted, allowing the upper housing 2 to be easily removed from the mounting groove 3. During the later installation of the upper housing 2, it is directly inserted into the mounting groove 3, and the insert 5 is inserted into the slot 17. The bottom of the insert 5 contacts the inclined surface of the positioning member 7 and generates a pushing force, causing the two positioning members 7 to move relative to each other inside the lower housing 1. The spring 12 is elastically stretched by the limiting post 8. When the upper housing 2 is engaged with the mounting groove 3, the positioning member 7 will correspond to the position of the positioning groove 6 on the insert 5. Under the elastic action of the spring 12, the positioning member 7 will be engaged into the positioning groove 6 on the insert 5, thereby positioning the insert 5 and ensuring the stability of the upper housing 2 after installation.

[0043] During frequent disassembly and assembly of the lower housing 1 and the upper housing 2, the positioning component 7 will experience significant wear. To maintain the stability of the engagement between the positioning component 7 and the insert block 5, the positioning component 7 can be replaced periodically. Since the extrusion plate 4 is connected to the positioning component 7 via bolts 15, the extrusion plate 4 can be disassembled directly from the outside of the lower housing 1. For the reset mechanism at the bottom of the positioning component 7, the limiting post 8 can be rotated directly. Given the rotational relationship between the annular movable component 10 and the limiting post 8, rotating the limiting post 8 will keep the connecting post 11 stationary. Simultaneously, the rotation of the limiting post 8 will drive the connecting post 11 to rotate. Based on the threaded connection between the connecting post 11 and the fixing groove 9, the connecting post 11 can be removed from the fixing groove 9. At this point, the connection between the reset mechanism and the positioning component 7 is released. Then, the positioning component 7 can be directly pulled out from the guide groove 14 from the inside of the lower housing 1, completing the disassembly of the positioning component 7. When replacing and installing a new positioning component 7, simply reverse the disassembly steps described above. The positioning component 7 is not an integral structure with the lower housing 1 and is detachable, making it easy to replace separately. This ensures that the positioning component 7 maintains the stable engagement between the lower housing 1 and the upper housing 2 for a long time, making it highly practical.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments.
