Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wireless communication technology, and in particular to a portable wireless access point (AP). Background Technology

[0002] AP generally refers to a wireless access point, which is the access point of a wireless network, commonly known as a "hotspot." There are mainly two types: integrated routing, switching, and access devices and pure access point devices. Integrated devices handle access and routing, while pure access devices only handle wireless client access. Pure access devices are typically used as wireless network extensions, connecting with other APs or the main AP to expand wireless coverage, while integrated devices are generally the core of the wireless network.

[0003] Wireless access points (APs) are typically mounted on walls using bolts. However, wireless APs require regular maintenance, which necessitates removing them from the wall. This frequent installation and removal is inconvenient and hinders maintenance efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a portable wireless AP to solve the technical problem of low maintenance efficiency in the existing technology.

[0005] This utility model is achieved using the following technical solution: a portable wireless AP, comprising a housing, a base, a motherboard, and an antenna;

[0006] The back of the housing is provided with a snap-fit ​​part;

[0007] The base is used to fix it to the wall. The front of the base is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove and an anti-detachment structure. The snap-fit ​​part can be slidably disposed in the snap-fit ​​groove. The anti-detachment structure is disposed at the opening above the snap-fit ​​groove. The anti-detachment structure is used to prevent the snap-fit ​​part from sliding out of the snap-fit ​​groove.

[0008] The motherboard is disposed within the housing;

[0009] The antenna is disposed on the top of the housing and is electrically connected to the motherboard.

[0010] In one possible implementation, the anti-detachment structure includes an elastic arm and a limiting protrusion. The elastic arm is disposed on the side wall of the base, and the limiting protrusion is disposed on the elastic arm. The limiting protrusion abuts against the locking portion. After pressing the elastic arm, the limiting protrusion is displaced from the locking portion.

[0011] In one possible implementation, a first limiting portion is provided on the upper inner wall of the housing, a fixing plate is provided at the lower end of the housing, the upper end of the main board extends into the first limiting portion, and the lower end of the main board is connected to the fixing plate.

[0012] In one possible implementation, a sliding cover is also included, which is used to close the opening at the lower end of the housing and is slidably disposed relative to the housing, and is snap-fitted to the fixing plate.

[0013] In one possible implementation, the inner wall of the sliding cover is provided with a second limiting part, and the fixing plate is provided with a third limiting part, the second limiting part and the third limiting part abutting each other in the front-back direction.

[0014] In one possible implementation, the lower end of the fixing plate is provided with a sealing element, the sealing element has a wire passage hole, and the sealing element is snapped together with the fixing plate.

[0015] In one possible implementation, the fixing plate is provided with a limiting groove, and the sealing element is disposed within the limiting groove.

[0016] In one possible implementation, the sliding cover has a sealing groove on its peripheral wall that contacts the housing, and the housing has a sealing protrusion corresponding to the sealing groove, the sealing protrusion extending into the sealing groove.

[0017] In one possible implementation, the housing is further provided with a pull rope, which is T-shaped. The T-end of the pull rope can be engaged with the upper wall of the fixing plate, and the other end of the pull rope passes through the fixing plate and is connected to the sliding cover.

[0018] In one possible implementation, the housing is provided with a first heat sink and a second heat sink, the first heat sink being located above the motherboard and in contact with the upper surface of the motherboard, and the second heat sink being located below the motherboard and in contact with the lower surface of the motherboard.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: by setting a snap-fit ​​part and a snap-fit ​​groove, the housing and the base can be slidably snap-fitted together. During installation, the snap-fit ​​part can be slid into the snap-fit ​​groove from top to bottom.

[0035] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0036] It should be noted that all directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in the embodiments of this application are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicator will also change accordingly.

[0037] Furthermore, the use of terms such as "first" and "second" in this application is for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. Additionally, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but only on the basis of being achievable by those skilled in the art. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, such a combination of technical solutions should be considered non-existent and not within the scope of protection claimed in this application.

[0038] like Figure 1-6 The portable wireless access point (AP) shown includes a housing 1, a base 2, a motherboard 3, and an antenna 4. The back of the housing 1 has a snap-fit ​​part 11. The base 2 is used to fix it to a wall. The front of the base 2 has a snap-fit ​​groove 21 and an anti-detachment structure. The snap-fit ​​part 11 can slide up and down in the snap-fit ​​groove 21. The anti-detachment structure is located at the opening above the snap-fit ​​groove 21 and is used to prevent the snap-fit ​​part 11 from sliding out of the snap-fit ​​groove 21. The motherboard 3 is located inside the housing 1. The antenna 4 is located on the top of the housing 1 and is electrically connected to the motherboard 3. It should be noted that the base 2 can be fixed to the wall with bolts, and the bolts are embedded in the base 2 to avoid affecting the sliding of the locking part 11. In addition, the locking part 11 is also provided with a wall-mounting hole 12. When the base 2 is inconvenient to install, the housing 1 can also be directly hung on the wall through the wall-mounting hole 12, providing multiple installation methods. The main board 3 is provided with an SMA connector, and the top of the housing 1 is provided with a through hole. The SMA connector passes through the through hole and connects to the antenna 4, so that the antenna 4 can transmit signals outward. A sealing ring is provided at the through hole to seal it, and a nut is used to connect with the SMA connector by thread. The nut can tighten the sealing ring, which improves the sealing performance of the wireless AP, so that the product can be waterproof, dustproof, insect-proof, etc.

[0039] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: by setting the snap-fit ​​part 11 and the snap-fit ​​groove 21, the housing 1 and the base 2 can be slidably snap-fitted together. During installation, the snap-fit ​​part 11 can be slid into the snap-fit ​​groove 21 from top to bottom. For disassembly, the snap-fit ​​part 11 can be slid out of the snap-fit ​​groove 21 from bottom to top, which is very convenient. The anti-detachment structure can prevent the snap-fit ​​part 11 from accidentally detaching from the snap-fit ​​groove 21, which helps to improve the stability of the connection between the housing 1 and the base 2.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 3In one possible implementation, the anti-detachment structure includes an elastic arm 22 and a limiting protrusion 23. The elastic arm 22 is disposed on the side wall of the base 2, and the limiting protrusion 23 is disposed on the elastic arm 22. The limiting protrusion 23 abuts against the locking part 11. After pressing the elastic arm 22, the limiting protrusion 23 is displaced from the locking part 11. It should be noted that the end of the elastic arm 22 is rounded to facilitate the user to press the elastic arm 22 with their fingers. When the elastic arm 22 is pressed, the limiting protrusion 23 shifts backward with the elastic arm 22, thereby displaced from the locking part 11, so that the locking part 11 can slide out of the locking groove 21. Furthermore, the upper end surface of the limiting protrusion 23 is inclined. When the locking part 11 enters the locking groove 21, the locking part 11 abuts against the inclined surface and continues to slide under the guidance of the inclined surface. When the locking part 11 is engaged, the limiting protrusion 23 is offset backward under the resistance of the locking part 11. That is to say, when disassembling, the user needs to press the elastic arm 22 for the locking part 11 to disengage from the locking groove 21. However, when installing, the user does not need to press the elastic arm 22. The locking part 11 can automatically enter the locking groove 21. After the locking part 11 is fully engaged in the locking groove 21, the elastic arm 22 automatically rebounds, causing the limiting protrusion 23 to block the locking part 11, thus achieving the function of preventing disengagement, which is extremely convenient.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 6 In one possible implementation, a first limiting part 13 is provided on the upper inner wall of the housing 1, and a fixing plate 5 is provided at the lower end of the housing 1. The upper end of the main board 3 extends into the first limiting part 13, and the lower end of the main board 3 is connected to the fixing plate 5. It should be noted that a groove is provided in the middle of the first limiting part 13, and the upper end of the main board 3 extends into the groove to limit the main board 3. The lower end of the main board 3 is fixedly connected to the fixing plate 5 by screws, which prevents the main board 3 from shaking accidentally and greatly improves the stability of the main board 3.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 In one possible implementation, a sliding cover 6 is also included. The sliding cover 6 is used to close the opening at the lower end of the housing 1, and the sliding cover 6 is slidably disposed relative to the housing 1. The sliding cover 6 is snap-fitted to the fixing plate 5. It should be noted that the sliding cover 6 is provided with a first elastic buckle 61, and the fixing plate 5 is provided with a through hole corresponding to the first elastic buckle 61. When the sliding cover 6 is slidably connected to the housing 1, the first elastic buckle 61 passes through the through hole and engages with the fixing plate 5 to improve the stability of the sliding cover 6 and prevent the sliding cover 6 from sliding accidentally.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4In one possible implementation, the inner wall of the sliding cover 6 is provided with a second limiting part 62, and the fixing plate 5 is provided with a third limiting part 51. The second limiting part 62 and the third limiting part 51 abut against each other in the front-back direction. It should be noted that the sliding cover 6 can slide up and down along the housing 1. When the sliding cover 6 is fully connected to the housing 1, the second limiting part 62 is located in front of the third limiting part 51, so that the second limiting part 62 and the third limiting part 51 abut against each other in the front-back direction, thereby making the sliding cover 6 and the housing 1 engage in the front-back direction, which helps to improve the stability of the connection between the sliding cover 6 and the housing 1.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 5 In one possible implementation, the lower end of the fixing plate 5 is provided with a sealing element 7, and the sealing element 7 has a cable passage hole 71. The sealing element 7 is snapped into the fixing plate 5. It should be noted that the main board 3 is provided with a network port for connecting a network cable, and the network port passes through the side wall of the upper end of the fixing plate 5. The network cable extends into the housing 1 through the cable passage hole 71 and connects to the network port. The sealing element 7 is made of plastic and can fit tightly with the network cable, thereby sealing the cable passage hole 71 and further improving the sealing performance of the wireless AP. In addition, the sliding cover 6 is provided with a cable groove for the network cable to pass through, and the cable groove corresponds to the cable passage hole 71. The fixing plate 5 is provided with a second elastic buckle 52, and the sealing element 7 is provided with a through hole corresponding to the second elastic buckle 52. The second elastic buckle 52 passes through the through hole and snaps into the sealing element 7, so that the sealing element 7 is fixed on the fixing plate 5.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 2 In one possible implementation, the fixing plate 5 is provided with a limiting groove 53, and the sealing element 7 is disposed within the limiting groove 53. It should be noted that the limiting groove 53 can provide an installation base for the sealing element 7 and play a limiting role for the sealing element 7, thereby improving the stability of the sealing element 7 and increasing the contact area between the sealing element 7 and the fixing plate 5, further improving the sealing effect.

[0046] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 In one possible implementation, a sealing groove 63 is provided on the peripheral wall of the sliding cover 6 that contacts the housing 1, and a sealing protrusion 14 corresponding to the sealing groove 63 is provided on the housing 1, with the sealing protrusion 14 extending into the sealing groove 63. It should be noted that the cooperation between the sealing protrusion 14 and the sealing groove 63 can improve the sealing effect at the connection between the sliding cover 6 and the housing 1, thereby improving the overall sealing performance of the product and further enhancing the stability of the connection between the sliding cover 6 and the housing 1.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 2In one possible implementation, the housing 1 also includes a pull cord 8, which is T-shaped. The T-end of the pull cord 8 can be engaged with the upper wall of the fixing plate 5, and the other end of the pull cord 8 passes through the fixing plate 5 and connects to the sliding cover 6. It should be noted that the inner wall of the sliding cover 6 is provided with a cylinder, and the end of the pull cord 8 is provided with a circular hole. The cylinder passes through the circular hole to achieve the connection between the pull cord 8 and the sliding cover 6. When the user plugs in the network cable, the sliding cover 6 needs to be removed. After the sliding cover 6 is separated from the housing 1, it will be suspended by the pull cord 8 and will not fall. The user does not need to hold the sliding cover 6, which provides great convenience.

[0048] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 6 In one possible implementation, the housing 1 is provided with a first heat sink 31 and a second heat sink 32. The first heat sink 31 is located above the motherboard 3 and contacts the upper surface of the motherboard 3, while the second heat sink 32 is located below the motherboard 3 and contacts the lower surface of the motherboard 3. It should be noted that the first heat sink 31 and the second heat sink 32 are connected by bolts, and the motherboard 3 is located between the first heat sink 31 and the second heat sink 32. Both the first heat sink 31 and the second heat sink 32 can contact the motherboard 3 through thermally conductive silicone, thereby transferring heat from the motherboard 3 to the first heat sink 31 and the second heat sink 32, improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the motherboard 3 and thus extending its service life.

[0049] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
