[0034] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-6 The present application will be further described in detail with reference to specific implementation methods, but this is not intended to limit the present application.

[0035] Implementation

[0036] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-4 Description of Implementation Method 1

[0037] A Starlink mini receiver support mechanism with power supply function includes a housing 1, a circuit assembly 2 disposed inside the housing 1, and a quick-release assembly 3 disposed outside the housing 1. In actual use, the housing 1 serves to support the Starlink mini receiver body connected to it, and the circuit assembly 2 serves to supply power to the Starlink mini receiver body connected to it, allowing the Starlink mini receiver body to operate independently of wired power supply, making it suitable for different working conditions and bringing better application prospects. In addition, the quick-release assembly 3 enables simple and quick connection and separation when the support mechanism is connected to the corresponding Starlink mini receiver body, making it convenient to use.

[0038] Specifically, the circuit assembly 2 includes a circuit board 21 and at least one battery 22 mounted on and electrically connected to the circuit board 21. The circuit board 21 is provided with a discharge port 23, which is exposed outside the housing 1. Multiple batteries 22 are closely distributed on both sides of the circuit board 21 to power the Starlink mini receiver body and ensure the usage time of the Starlink mini receiver body.

[0039] In this embodiment, a total of 10 batteries 22 are provided, and their rated voltage is 18V. Eight batteries 22 are distributed on the front of the circuit board 21, and two batteries 22 are distributed on the back of the circuit board 21 (not shown). It can be understood that the distribution of batteries 22 can be changed and adjusted according to actual needs.

[0040] Specifically, the quick-release assembly 3 includes a fixed shaft 31, a pressing member 32, and an external connecting member 33 that snaps into the pressing member 32. The housing 1 has a through-hole mounting opening 11 in the middle, with two corresponding snap-fit ​​members 12 inside the mounting opening 11. The two ends of the fixed shaft 31 are respectively fixedly installed in the snap-fit ​​interfaces of the snap-fit ​​members 12. The pressing member 32 has a rotating opening through which the fixed shaft 31 passes and connects to the snap-fit ​​members 12. The pressing member 32 includes a pressing body 322, a mounting body 323, and a first snap-fit ​​body 324 connected in sequence. The pressing body 322 has multiple protruding strips 326 to increase the friction between the user and the pressing body 322 during pressing, thus preventing slippage. The rotating opening is located on the mounting body 323. The first snap-fit ​​body 324 has a snap-fit ​​groove 325. The external connecting member 33 includes a first connecting body 331, a second snap-fit ​​body 332, and a second connecting body 333 connected in sequence. The first connecting body 331 and the second snap-fit ​​body 324... Both connectors 333 are installed on the housing 1. The second fastening body 332 includes a horizontal member 334 and vertical members 335 that are perpendicularly connected to the horizontal member 334 and located on both sides of the horizontal member 334. The horizontal member 334 is located in the fastening groove 325. The housing 1 is provided with a mounting groove 13 for connecting the first connector 331 and the second connector 333 to the housing 1. The first connector 331 and the second connector 333 are located in the mounting groove 13. Screws 336 are installed on the side of the first connector 331 and the second connector 333 away from the second fastening body 332. The first connector 331 and the second connector 333 are movably connected to the mounting groove 13 by the screws 336. When the first connector 331 and the second connector 333 are in a stationary state, there is a gap 337 between them and the bottom surface 15 of the mounting groove 13. A protrusion 338 is provided on the side of the first connector 331 and the second connector 333 away from the housing 1.

[0041] During use, since the mounting body 323 is mounted on the fixed shaft 31, the pressing body 322 and the first fastening body 324 form a seesaw structure. Simultaneously, due to the presence of the gap 337, after the user presses the pressing body 322, the pressing body 322 moves downwards, and the first fastening body 324 moves upwards, causing the transverse member 334 to separate from the fastening groove 325, and the external connecting member 33 to loosen. Conversely, after the user lifts the pressing body 322, the pressing body 322 moves upwards, and the first fastening body 324 moves downwards, causing the transverse member 334 to fasten with the fastening groove 325, and the external connecting member 33 to be in a taut state. After connecting with the corresponding Starlink mini receiver body, the loosening or tightening of the external connecting member 33 can change the connection relationship between the protrusion 338 and the corresponding groove on the Starlink mini receiver body, thereby completing the separation and connection of the Starlink mini receiver body and the support structure. In addition, the hollow structure of the mounting port 11 provides installation and usage space for the quick-release assembly 3 and the snap-fit ​​part 12, while also providing a point of leverage for the user when disassembling the support structure, reducing the difficulty of disassembly and making it convenient to use.

[0042] Specifically, the housing 1 has a mounting hole 16 on the side away from the Starlink mini receiver body. The mounting hole 16 is used to install external support components. For example, when used outdoors, the Starlink mini receiver is usually placed in a higher position. The mounting hole 16 is designed as a screw hole to install the support rod that places the Starlink mini receiver in a higher position. The housing 1 has a top surface 14 and a bottom surface 15. In the lateral direction A, the width of the top surface 14 is greater than the width of the bottom surface 15. In the vertical direction B, the thickness of the housing 1 decreases from top to bottom. The above structure increases the support stability of the housing 1.

[0043] Implementation

[0044] like Figure 5-6 As shown, a Starlink mini receiver includes a Starlink mini receiver body 100 and a support mechanism 200 supporting the Starlink mini receiver body 100. The support mechanism 200 is the Starlink mini receiver support mechanism with power supply function described in Embodiment 1. The Starlink mini receiver body 100 is provided with a connecting groove 101 on the side near the support mechanism 200. The support mechanism 200 is provided with a protrusion 338 corresponding to the connecting groove 101. The support mechanism 200 is provided with a discharge port 23. The Starlink mini receiver body 100 is provided with a charging port 102 that matches the discharge port 23.

[0045] When the support mechanism 200 is connected to the Starlink mini receiver body 100, the charging port 102 and the discharging port 23 are electrically connected. At this time, due to the user's squeezing action, the protrusion 338 and the connecting groove 101 are engaged and connected, so that the support mechanism 200 and the Starlink mini receiver body 100 are tightly connected. When the support mechanism 200 and the Starlink mini receiver body 100 are separated, the pressing body 322 is turned, so that the protrusion 338 and the connecting groove 101 are separated. At this time, due to the inclined surface of the support mechanism 200, the support mechanism 200 and the Starlink mini receiver body 100 are naturally separated.

[0046] Furthermore, any content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.

[0047] Based on the disclosure and teachings of the foregoing specification, those skilled in the art can make changes and modifications to the above embodiments. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments described above, and any obvious improvements, substitutions, or modifications made by those skilled in the art based on this application are within the scope of protection of this application. Furthermore, although some specific terms are used in this specification, these terms are only for convenience of explanation and do not constitute any limitation on this application.
