Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of router antennas, and more particularly to a router antenna with a folding function. Background Technology

[0002] In today's digital age, the Internet has become a crucial infrastructure for information exchange, resource sharing, and business operations. Routers, as key devices connecting various local area networks (LANs) and wide area networks (WANs) within the Internet, play a vital role. They are widely used in various industries, such as enterprise office networks, school campus networks, and wireless network coverage in shopping malls. They also penetrate into countless homes, providing convenient network access services for people's daily lives and meeting their diverse needs for internet surfing, online entertainment, and remote work.

[0003] To enhance a router's signal coverage and transmission quality, one or more antennas are typically installed on the router. These antennas enable data communication between the router and external networks and terminal devices by receiving and transmitting electromagnetic wave signals. However, most router antennas on the market today are of a single, integrated design with a fixed and specified length.

[0004] This integrated, fixed-length antenna design has significant limitations. On one hand, while an excessively long antenna may help increase signal transmission distance to some extent, it also creates inconvenience during router carrying and transportation. An overly long antenna is susceptible to damage from impacts and pressure, and it also increases the overall size of the router, hindering its flexible use in different scenarios. For example, in situations requiring mobile router use, such as business trips or travel, an excessively long antenna becomes a burden.

[0005] On the other hand, while a short antenna may be convenient to carry, it can lead to a decrease in signal transmission efficiency. A shorter antenna cannot effectively receive and transmit electromagnetic signals, resulting in a smaller signal coverage area and weaker signal strength. This affects the stability and speed of the network connection, causing users to experience network lag and latency, and failing to meet their needs for a high-quality network.

[0006] Therefore, there is a need to provide a router antenna with folding functionality. Utility Model Content

[0007] To overcome the shortcomings of the above-mentioned background technology, the present invention provides a router antenna with folding function.

The router body is provided with support frames on both the left and right sides. The main antenna is rotatably mounted on the front side of the support frame, and the secondary antenna is hinged to the rear end of the main antenna.

[0009] To further explain, it also includes a locking block and a spring. The locking block is elastically connected to the inner side of the front end of the main antenna via a spring. The locking blocks are engaged with the adjacent secondary antennas. The secondary antennas have slots that are compatible with the locking blocks.

[0010] To further explain, it also includes guide frames and cover plates. Guide frames are symmetrically connected horizontally on the top left and right sides of the router body, and a cover plate is slidably installed between every two guide frames.

[0011] To further explain, it also includes support blocks; support blocks are provided at all four corners of the bottom of the router body.

[0012] To further explain, it also includes soft padding; the bottom of each support block is padded with soft padding.

[0013] To further explain, it also includes anti-slip strips, with anti-slip strips provided on the top of the support frame.

[0014] To further explain, it also includes retaining beads. Adjustment slots are provided on the right front side wall inside the support frame. Retaining beads are elastically provided on the front right side wall of the main antenna through an elastic element. The retaining beads engage with the corresponding adjustment slots.

[0024] The present invention will now be described more fully below with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which presently preferred embodiments of the invention are shown. However, the present invention may be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided for thoroughness and completeness and to fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art.

[0025] Example: A router antenna with folding function, please see below. Figures 1 to 5As shown, the router includes a router body 1, a support frame 2, a main antenna 3, a secondary antenna 4, a locking block 5, a spring 6, a guide frame 7, a cover plate 8, a support block 9, a soft pad 10, an anti-slip strip 11, and a retaining bead 13. The router body 1 serves as the core basic structure of the entire router, providing installation and support space for other components. Support frames 2 are connected to both the left and right sides of the router body 1. The main antenna 3 is rotatably connected to the front of each support frame 2. The main antenna 3 is an important component for the router's antenna signal reception and transmission; it can rotate around the support frame 2 to modify... The orientation of the antennas is adjusted to optimize signal reception and transmission. Secondary antennas 4 are hinged to the rear end of the main antenna 3. A locking block 5 is elastically connected to the inner front end of the main antenna 3 via a spring 6. Each locking block 5 engages with a nearby secondary antenna 4. The secondary antenna 4 has a slot that matches the locking block 5. The secondary antennas 4 and the main antenna 3 together form the router's antenna system, enhancing signal reception and transmission capabilities. When folded, they can be secured by the locking blocks 5 for easy carrying and storage. When needed, they can be unfolded to expand signal coverage. Within the router body 1, guide frames 7 are symmetrically connected horizontally on both the left and right sides of the top. A cover plate 8 is slidably connected between every two guide frames 7. The guide frames 7 provide sliding guidance for the cover plate 8. When the cover plate 8 is closed, it covers the top of the support frame 2 to prevent dust from entering. Support blocks 9 are connected to the four corners of the bottom of the router body 1, providing support for the router. A soft pad 10 is placed on the bottom of each support block 9, serving as a cushion and preventing slippage. Anti-slip strips 1 are connected to the top of each support frame 2. 1. To increase the friction between the support frame 2 and the cover plate 8 and to prevent slipping, the support frame 2 has semi-circular distributed adjustment slots 12 on the right front side wall. The front right side wall of the main antenna 3 is elastically connected with a retaining bead 13 by an elastic element. The retaining bead 13 engages with the corresponding adjustment slot 12. When the main antenna 3 rotates to different angles, the retaining bead 13 can be inserted into the corresponding adjustment slot 12 to position and fix the rotation angle of the main antenna 3, so that the main antenna 3 can remain stable at a specific angle, thereby optimizing the signal reception and transmission effect.

[0026] When you need to use the router, first locate the guide frames 7 that are symmetrically connected horizontally on the top left and right sides of the router body 1, and the cover plate 8 that is slidably connected between the guide frames 7. Gently push the cover plate 8 with your hand to slide it forward along the guide frames 7, thereby opening the cover plate 8 and exposing the top of the support frame 2.

[0027] By manually and slowly rotating the main antenna 3 to a suitable angle around the support frame 2, during the rotation, the retaining beads 13, which are elastically connected to the right side wall of the front end of the main antenna 3 via elastic elements, will move relative to the adjustment slots 12 distributed in a semi-circular shape on the right front side wall inside the support frame 2. When the main antenna 3 rotates to the ideal angle, the retaining beads 13 will engage with the corresponding adjustment slots 12 under the action of the elastic elements, positioning and fixing the rotation angle of the main antenna 3, so that the main antenna 3 can remain stable at that specific angle, thereby optimizing the signal reception and transmission effect.

[0028] The main antenna 3 is hinged to a secondary antenna 4 at its rear end. When further enhancement of signal reception and transmission capabilities is needed, the secondary antenna 4 can be manually unfolded from its folded state. When unfolding, the locking mechanism 5 must be overcome. The locking mechanism 5 is elastically connected to the inner front end of the main antenna 3 via a spring 6, and it mates with a slot on the secondary antenna 4. Once the secondary antenna 4 is unfolded to the appropriate position, it can work together with the main antenna 3 to form the router's antenna system, expanding the signal coverage area.

[0029] When you need to fold up the router or reduce the space occupied by the antenna, first fold the secondary antenna 4 towards the main antenna 3. During the folding process, a certain external force needs to be applied to the secondary antenna 4 to overcome the elastic force of the spring 6 on the locking block 5, so that the locking block 5 disengages from the slot of the secondary antenna 4, allowing the secondary antenna 4 to be folded smoothly into a state that fits snugly against the main antenna 3. At this time, the locking block 5 will once again be in the appropriate position under the action of the spring 6, which will play a certain role in fixing the folded secondary antenna 4 and preventing it from shaking randomly.

[0030] Manually rotate the main antenna 3 again to an angle suitable for storage. During the rotation, the locking bead 13 will disengage from the currently engaged adjustment slot 12 and slide inside the right front side wall of the support frame 2 as the main antenna 3 rotates. When the main antenna 3 is rotated to a suitable storage angle, the locking bead 13 will engage with the corresponding adjustment slot 12 to position and fix the main antenna 3.

[0031] Push the cover plate 8 by hand so that it slides backward along the guide frame 7 until the cover plate 8 completely covers the top of the support frame 2. This prevents dust from entering the support frame 2, protects the antenna and other components inside the support frame 2 from dust contamination and damage, and extends the service life of the equipment.

[0032] After folding or unfolding the antenna, place the router in a suitable location. Support blocks 9 are connected to the four corners of the bottom of the router body 1. These support blocks 9 provide support, allowing the router to be placed stably on a horizontal surface. Simultaneously, the soft pads 10 at the bottom of the support blocks 9 act as cushioning and anti-slip pads, reducing the impact force on the router during placement and increasing the friction between the router and the surface, preventing the router from sliding and improving its stability.

[0033] The technical principles of the present invention have been described above with reference to specific embodiments. These descriptions are merely for explaining the principles of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention in any way. Based on this explanation, those skilled in the art can conceive of other specific embodiments of the present invention without creative effort, and these embodiments will all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
