Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of routers, and more particularly to a router with an adjustable antenna angle. Background Technology

[0002] A router is a network connection device that enables data communication between multiple devices. It is widely used in homes, offices, and commercial locations. By connecting and distributing external network signals to local terminals, it enables wireless or wired Internet access. Routers are usually equipped with several external antennas to enhance the transmission and reception performance of wireless signals, thereby improving network coverage and connection stability.

[0003] In existing technologies, traditional routers mostly use fixed or simple hinged antenna structures, which severely restricts users' ability to adjust the antenna angle and makes flexible positioning difficult, thus affecting the directional transmission of signals. In addition, the antennas are usually exposed on the outside of the router body and cannot be folded or hidden when not in use, which not only affects the aesthetics of the product, but also makes it easy to suffer physical damage such as scratches and deformation during transportation or placement, thereby reducing the reliability and durability of the device. Furthermore, with the improvement of router chip performance, routers generate more heat during operation, and some traditional routers have low heat dissipation efficiency and poor bottom ventilation, making it difficult for internal hot air to escape, thus affecting the stability of the device's operation in long-term environments.

[0004] Therefore, existing technologies have shortcomings and need to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a router with stable performance, a concealable antenna, and an adjustable antenna angle.

[0006] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a router with an adjustable antenna angle, comprising a base housing, a circuit board, a cover housing, and an antenna assembly;

[0007] The base housing has a conical structure and an internal receiving chamber. The circuit board is disposed in the receiving chamber. The back of the circuit board is provided with several interface terminals. The back of the base housing is provided with an interface clearance groove for exposing the interface terminals.

[0008] The cover plate housing is located on the upper end face of the base housing and is connected to the base housing by a snap fastener. The surface of the cover plate housing is provided with an LED light group for displaying the router status.

[0009] The antenna assembly is located on both sides of the base housing and is rotatably connected to the base housing;

[0010] The lateral width of the cover shell is greater than the lateral width of the base shell. The portion of the cover shell exposed on the upper surface of the base has a rotation limiting part. The rotation limiting part is used to prevent the antenna assembly from rotating, so that the antenna assembly folds and abuts against the bottom side of the rotation limiting part.

[0011] Using the above technical solution, in the router with adjustable antenna angle, the antenna assembly includes an antenna mast, a metal sheet, and a helical radiator;

[0012] Both the metal sheet and the helical radiator are disposed inside the antenna mast. The helical radiator is located at the upper end of the metal sheet, and the helical radiator is connected to the circuit board through the metal sheet.

[0013] The antenna mast has an outwardly extending rotating shaft at its bottom end near the base housing. The base housing has a rotating hole on its side, and the rotating shaft is located in the rotating hole and can rotate around the rotating hole.

[0014] The end of the rotating shaft is provided with a limiting shoulder, which is used to limit and fix the rotating shaft in the rotary hole.

[0015] Using the above technical solution, in the router that facilitates antenna angle adjustment, the rotating shaft has a hollow structure, and a conduit is provided inside the rotating shaft. The conduit is connected to the inside of the antenna rod, and the conduit is used for cables to pass through and connect to the circuit board.

[0016] In the router described above, which facilitates antenna angle adjustment, the rotating shaft has several openings along the circumferential wall direction.

[0017] In the router with adjustable antenna angle described above, the limiting shaft shoulder is provided with a guide slope, which is used to guide the rotating shaft to slide into the rotary hole.

[0018] Using the above technical solution, in the router that facilitates antenna angle adjustment, the bottom of the base housing is provided with an anti-slip support pad, and the bottom of the cover housing is provided with support protrusions;

[0019] The anti-slip support pad and the support protrusion are used to abut against the support surface when the router is in the placement state, so as to form a heat dissipation space between the base shell and the support surface.

[0020] The router with adjustable antenna angle, as described above, also includes a cooling fan located at the bottom of the circuit board with its exhaust end facing downwards. The bottom surface of the base housing has ventilation holes for directing hot airflow into the heat dissipation space.

[0021] Using the above technical solution, in the router with adjustable antenna angle, the metal sheet is made of copper.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0023] This invention rotatably mounts the antenna assembly on both sides of the base housing, and, in conjunction with the outward expansion of the cover housing to form a rotation limiting part, allows the antenna assembly to fold and abut against the bottom of the rotation limiting part when not in operation. This achieves a snug and concealed storage solution, solving the problem of exposed antennas and lack of storage space in traditional routers. It also effectively avoids structural damage caused by collisions and scratches, thereby improving the router's reliability and durability. The anti-slip support pads and support protrusions on the bottom of the router raise the bottom of the router when placed, creating a natural convection heat dissipation space. Combined with the cooling fan and ventilation holes, hot air is driven by the cooling fan and enters the heat dissipation space through the ventilation holes, achieving active heat dissipation, preventing internal heat accumulation, and effectively improving the router's operational stability and heat dissipation efficiency.

[0030] To make the utility model's objectives, features, and advantages more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described below are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0031] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper," "lower," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. It should be noted that when a component is considered to be "connected" to another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or there may be a component centrally located at the same time.

[0032] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a router with an adjustable antenna angle, including a base housing 1, a circuit board 2, a cover housing 3, and an antenna assembly 4. The base housing 1 has a conical structure and an internal receiving chamber 10. The circuit board 2 is disposed in the receiving chamber 10. The back of the circuit board 2 is provided with a plurality of interface terminals 21. The back of the base housing 1 is provided with an interface clearance groove 11 for exposing the interface terminals 21, so that the interface terminals 21 can naturally extend for connection and use.

[0034] The cover housing 3 is located on the upper end face of the base housing 1 and is connected to the base housing 1 by a snap fastener. The surface of the cover housing 3 is provided with an LED light group 31 for displaying the router status. The LED light group 31 can display different colors or flashing patterns according to different states such as power on, network connection, data transmission, and system abnormality, so that users can intuitively judge the operating status of the router in daily use.

[0035] The antenna assembly 4 is located on both sides of the base housing 1 and is rotatably connected to the base housing 1. Users can adjust the antenna direction according to the usage scenario and signal requirements, thereby improving the efficiency of directional signal coverage. The lateral width of the cover housing 3 is greater than the lateral width of the base housing 1, forming an outwardly extending exposed edge structure. The portion of the cover housing 3 exposed on the upper surface of the base has a rotation limiting part 32. The rotation limiting part 32 is used to prevent the antenna assembly 4 from rotating, so that the antenna assembly 4 folds and abuts against the bottom side of the rotation limiting part 32. This allows the antenna assembly 4 to be snugly hidden and stored when not in operation, solving the problem of traditional routers having exposed antennas and nowhere to store them. It also effectively avoids structural damage caused by collisions, scratches, etc., thereby improving the reliability and durability of the router.

[0036] like Figure 4 As shown, the antenna assembly 4 further includes an antenna rod 41, a metal sheet 42, and a helical radiator 43. Both the metal sheet 42 and the helical radiator 43 are disposed within the antenna rod 41. The helical radiator 43 is located at the upper end of the metal sheet 42 and is connected to the circuit board 2 via the metal sheet 42. The metal sheet 42 serves as an electrical connection, allowing high-frequency radio frequency signals to be transmitted from the circuit board 2 to the transmitting end of the helical radiator 43. In this embodiment, the metal sheet 42 is made of copper, which has low resistivity, effectively reducing energy loss during signal transmission and thus improving the transmission and reception efficiency of the antenna assembly 4. The helical radiator 43 can convert the radio frequency signals from the circuit board 2 into electromagnetic waves for radiation into space, and can also receive external electromagnetic waves and convert them into electrical signals for processing by the circuit board 2. Simultaneously, the helical structure of the helical radiator 43 possesses excellent broadband characteristics and high directivity. The operating frequency band and gain of the antenna can be adjusted by designing parameters such as pitch, number of turns, and diameter to meet the requirements of different communication protocols.

[0037] like Figure 4 As shown, the antenna mast 41 has an outwardly extending rotating shaft 411 at its bottom end near the base housing 1. The base housing 1 has a rotating hole 12 on its side. The rotating shaft 411 is located in the rotating hole 12 and can rotate around the rotating hole 12 to meet the user's adjustment needs for different signal directions. The end of the rotating shaft 411 has a limiting shoulder 412. The limiting shoulder 412 is used to limit and fix the rotating shaft 411 in the rotating hole 12. The limiting shoulder 412 can form an axial limit through physical blocking, so that the antenna does not loosen during rotation.

[0038] like Figure 4As shown, the rotating shaft 411 is a hollow structure, and a conduit 413 is provided inside the rotating shaft 411. The conduit 413 is connected to the inside of the antenna rod 41. The conduit 413 is used for cables to pass through and connect to the circuit board 2, avoiding wire breakage or signal interference caused by exposed wires and pulling, thus improving the performance stability of the antenna assembly 4.

[0039] like Figure 4 As shown, the rotating shaft 411 is further provided with a plurality of openings 414 along the circumferential wall direction, so that the rotating shaft 411 can produce a small elastic deformation in the radial direction, so that the rotating shaft 411 can be smoothly inserted into the rotary hole 12.

[0040] like Figure 4 As shown, the limiting shoulder 412 is further provided with a guide slope 415 on its side end. The guide slope 415 can guide the rotating shaft 411 to slide into the rotary hole 12 during the insertion process. After installation, the limiting shoulder 412 can form an axial stop in the rotary hole 12 to prevent the rotating shaft 411 from moving axially.

[0041] like Figure 2 As shown, the bottom of the base housing 1 is provided with an anti-slip support pad 13, and the bottom of the cover housing 3 is provided with a support protrusion 33. The anti-slip support pad 13 and the support protrusion 33 are used to abut against the support surface when the router is in the placement state, so that a heat dissipation space is formed between the base housing 1 and the support surface. The heat dissipation space allows the heat at the bottom of the router to diffuse naturally to the external environment, avoiding the accumulation of heat inside.

[0042] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, it further includes a cooling fan 5, which is located at the bottom of the circuit board 2 with its air outlet facing downwards. The bottom surface of the base housing 1 is provided with heat dissipation holes 14 for directing hot airflow into the heat dissipation space. When the router is in operation, the electronic components on the circuit board 2 will release heat. Since the base housing 1 is raised by the anti-slip support pad 13 and the support protrusion 33 to form a heat dissipation space, it can form an airflow channel in conjunction with the heat dissipation holes 14. When the cooling fan 5 is running, it can generate airflow to dissipate the heat inside the router, thereby improving the overall heat dissipation efficiency.

[0043] The above-described embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
