Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of antenna technology, and in particular to a waterproof and leak-proof WiFi antenna for 5G networks. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of information technology, 5G networks are gradually being widely deployed and applied globally. With its advantages such as high speed, low latency, and large capacity, 5G networks have brought unprecedented opportunities for people's lives, work, and the digital transformation of various industries. As a key component for wireless signal transmission and reception in 5G networks, the performance and reliability of WiFi antennas play a crucial role in ensuring the stable operation of the entire network.

[0003] In practical applications, 5G network WiFi antennas often face a variety of complex environmental conditions. Many outdoor scenarios, such as intelligent transportation facilities and various sensor nodes in smart cities, will inevitably be affected by humid environments such as rain and fog. Once rainwater or other liquids seep into the antenna, it is very likely to cause short circuits and other faults, affecting the normal operation of the antenna, or even damaging the antenna, thereby interrupting the transmission of 5G network signals and causing serious inconvenience and losses to related applications.

[0004] While some 5G network WiFi antennas currently on the market offer certain guarantees in terms of signal transmission and reception performance, they suffer from numerous shortcomings in waterproofing and leakage prevention. Some antennas employ only simple outer shells for protection, resulting in poor sealing and making them prone to water ingress in humid environments over extended periods. Other antennas lack reliable waterproof structural designs at critical locations such as connection points, allowing moisture to easily penetrate through these weak points. Furthermore, many antennas are not specifically optimized for the leakage risks that may arise in 5G network environments, exhibiting insufficient electrical insulation performance and failing to meet the requirements for personal safety and stable equipment operation in complex and diverse usage scenarios. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the issues of poor sealing and the risk of electrical leakage, this application provides a waterproof and leak-proof WiFi antenna for 5G networks.

[0006] This application provides a waterproof and leak-proof WiFi antenna for 5G networks, which adopts the following technical solution: it includes a shell, a cavity is provided on the inner side of the shell, a mounting groove is provided in the cavity, a dielectric substrate is provided on the inner side of the mounting groove, a connector is fixedly installed on one end of the shell, a collar is sleeved on the shell at the same end of the connector, sealing components are provided at both ends of the collar, and a driving component is provided between the collar and the shell.

[0007] Optionally, the sealing assembly includes a limiting groove one and a limiting groove two. The limiting groove one is disposed at the end of the collar near the connector, and the limiting groove two is disposed on the inner side of the end of the collar away from the connector. A sealing ring one is disposed on the inner side of the limiting groove one, and a sealing ring two is disposed on the inner side of the limiting groove two.

[0008] Optionally, the drive assembly includes a sleeve fitted onto the housing, the sleeve being threadedly connected to the housing, the outer side of the sleeve being provided with anti-slip texture, and a connecting member being provided between the sleeve and the collar.

[0009] Optionally, the connector includes a connecting ring, one end of which is rotatably connected to the collar, and the other end of the connecting ring is fitted with a locking block. The end of the locking block away from the connecting ring is chamfered, and a slot is provided on the sleeve at the corresponding position of the locking block, and the locking block engages with the slot.

[0010] Optionally, a positioning plate is installed on the connecting ring on one side of the card block, and a positioning groove is provided on the sleeve at the corresponding position of the positioning plate. The positioning plate is inserted into the positioning groove, and the length of the positioning plate is greater than the length of the card block.

[0011] Optionally, multiple card blocks and positioning plates are provided, with at least two positioning plates and card blocks provided, and the multiple positioning plates and card blocks are evenly distributed.

[0012] Optionally, the collar is provided with a water leakage hole, which is located between the limiting groove and the connecting ring.

[0013] In summary, this application includes the following beneficial technical effects:

[0014] 1. This utility model provides sealing components at both ends of the collar, namely a sealing ring one inside the limiting groove one and a sealing ring two inside the limiting groove two. At the same time, a driving component is provided between the collar and the outer shell to ensure the tight fixation of the collar. This effectively prevents liquids such as rainwater and fog from seeping into the antenna interior. Compared with some antennas on the market that only use simple outer shell protection and have poor sealing effect, this greatly reduces the risk of short circuits and other failures caused by water ingress. It ensures that the antenna can work normally in complex and humid environments, ensures stable transmission of 5G network signals, and avoids inconvenience and losses to related applications due to water ingress of the antenna.

[0015] 2. The reasonable layout and interconnection of the various components of this utility model, as well as the ingenious connection between the sleeve, connecting ring, locking block, positioning plate, etc., enhance the overall electrical insulation performance. Compared with those antennas on the market that are not optimized for leakage risks and have insufficient electrical insulation performance, it can better adapt to complex and diverse usage scenarios, effectively protect personal safety, maintain stable equipment operation, lay a solid foundation for the reliable and stable operation of the entire 5G network system, and avoid adverse situations such as equipment failure due to leakage risks.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.

[0022] This application discloses a waterproof and leak-proof WiFi antenna for 5G networks. For example... Figure 1 , Figure 4 As shown, the device includes a housing 1, which is made of PC and ABS alloy material and has a nano-waterproof coating. A cavity 2 is provided inside the housing 1, and a mounting groove 3 is provided inside the cavity 2. A dielectric substrate 4 is provided inside the mounting groove 3. The dielectric substrate 4 is installed in a recessed manner, forming a waterproof isolation layer with the bottom surface of the housing 1. A connector 5 is fixedly installed at one end of the housing 1. A double grounding terminal is provided inside the connector 5, which is connected to the device housing 1 and an independent grounding wire, respectively.

[0023] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, a collar 7 is fitted onto the outer shell 1 at the same end of the connector 5. Sealing components are provided at both ends of the collar 7. The sealing components include a limiting groove 9 and a limiting groove 11. The limiting groove 9 is located at the end of the collar 7 close to the connector 5. The limiting groove 11 is located on the inner side of the end of the collar 7 away from the connector 5. A sealing ring 8 is provided inside the limiting groove 9. The sealing ring 8 is made of EPDM rubber. A sealing ring 10 is provided inside the limiting groove 11. The sealing ring 10 is made of silicone material.

[0024] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, a driving assembly is provided between the collar 7 and the outer shell 1. The driving assembly includes a sleeve 6, which is fitted onto the outer shell 1 and threadedly connected to the outer shell 1. The outer side of the sleeve 6 is provided with anti-slip texture. A connector is provided between the sleeve 6 and the collar 7. The connector includes a connecting ring 13. One end of the connecting ring 13 is rotatably connected to the collar 7. A water leakage hole 12 is provided on the collar 7. The water leakage hole 12 is located between the limiting groove 11 and the connecting ring 13. A locking block 16 is installed on the other end of the connecting ring 13.

[0025] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the end of the locking block 16 away from the connecting ring 13 is chamfered. The sleeve 6 at the corresponding position of the locking block 16 is provided with a locking groove 17. The locking block 16 and the locking groove 17 are engaged. The connecting ring 13 and the sleeve 6 can be quickly connected by the cooperation of the locking block 16 and the locking groove 17. The collar 7 can be disassembled and replaced by removing the connecting ring 13. A positioning plate 14 is installed on the connecting ring 13 on one side of the locking block 16.

[0026] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, a positioning groove 15 is provided on the sleeve 6 at the corresponding position of the positioning plate 14. The positioning plate 14 is inserted into the positioning groove 15. Multiple locking blocks 16 and positioning plates 14 are provided, and at least two locking blocks 16 are provided. The multiple positioning plates 14 and locking blocks 16 are evenly distributed. When the sleeve 6 is rotated, the sleeve 6 and the connecting ring 13 are subjected to uniform force, which improves the service life of the equipment. The length of the positioning plate 14 is greater than the length of the locking block 16.

[0027] The implementation principle of a waterproof and leak-proof WiFi antenna for 5G networks in this application embodiment is as follows: First, the outer shell 1 of the WiFi antenna is installed on the designated device through the connector 5 to ensure a stable connection. Then, the sleeve 6, which is sleeved on the outer shell 1 and threaded to the outer shell 1, is manually rotated. With the help of the anti-slip texture provided on the outside of the sleeve 6, it is easy to apply a suitable rotational torque. Since the sleeve 6 and the collar 7 are connected by a connector, when the sleeve 6 rotates, it will generate an axial pushing force on the collar 7, causing the collar 7 to move along the axial direction of the outer shell 1.

[0028] As the collar 7 moves, the sealing ring 8 near the connector 5 gradually comes into close contact with the surface of the connected device. At the same time, the sealing ring 10 away from the connector 5 keeps in close contact with the outer shell 1. In this way, the area between the sealing ring 8 and the sealing ring 10 forms a relatively sealed space, which encloses the connector 5 in this sealed space. This effectively prevents liquids such as rain and fog from entering the antenna, avoiding short circuits and other malfunctions caused by liquid infiltration, and ensuring that the antenna can work normally and the 5G network signal can be transmitted stably.

[0029] A water leakage hole 12 is provided on the collar 7. If a small amount of liquid accidentally enters some parts of the collar 7, it can be discharged through the water leakage hole 12, preventing the liquid from accumulating inside the collar 7 and further ensuring the overall waterproof performance and normal operation of the antenna.

[0030] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
