Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model application relates to the field of communication product technology, and in particular to a CPE extension device and a CPE converged access system. Background Technology

[0002] CPE (Customer Premises Equipment) is a network terminal device that converts wireless signals into WIFI signals. In the industry, CPEs are usually plugged directly into a socket with a power adapter. Based on the location of the socket, they need to be placed in a fixed location in the home. Since the CPE device needs to be directly connected to the power supply through the power adapter, it is not flexible to place the CPE device in a location that the user needs or to carry it with them in actual use.

[0003] Furthermore, the antennas of existing CPEs are fixed inside the casing. Since antennas are directional, the position and orientation of the CPE directly affect the quality of the signal received by the antenna inside the casing. In current use, if the CPE is not placed properly, it will affect the quality of the signal received by the internal antenna, thus affecting the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above, the purpose of this utility model application is to provide a CPE extension device and a CPE converged access system. With the cooperation of the CPE extension device, the CPE can be placed in any location, which improves the mobility of the CPE and brings great convenience to people's activities. At the same time, it can also effectively enhance the CPE signal reception capability and provide better network services.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows:

[0006] According to one aspect of the present invention, a CPE extension device is provided, including a base and a turntable connected to the base. The base includes a bottom surface and a seat surface disposed opposite to the bottom surface. The bottom surface and the seat surface are connected by a side. The bottom surface, the seat surface, and the side surface enclose a cavity. A rechargeable battery, a control motherboard, and a motor are disposed in the cavity. The control motherboard is connected to the rechargeable battery and the motor respectively. The motor is connected to the turntable. The seat surface is provided with contact interfaces for connecting to the CPE device. All contact interfaces are connected to the control motherboard. The turntable and the seat surface form a receiving cavity for placing the CPE device.

[0007] The contact interface includes a network interface for connecting to the CPE device, a power socket, and an RF antenna interface.

[0008] The turntable is equipped with an external antenna interface, which is connected to an external extended antenna.

[0009] The external extended antenna includes a WIFI antenna and / or a cellular antenna.

[0010] The base has a mesh selection mode button on its side, which is connected to the control motherboard.

[0011] The control motherboard includes a rotation control module and a motor drive module electrically connected to the rotation control module. The mesh selection mode button is connected to the rotation control module, and the motor drive module is connected to the motor.

[0012] The base also has multiple expansion network ports on its side, which are connected to the control motherboard.

[0013] The base also has a battery charging port on its side, which is connected to the rechargeable battery.

[0014] Another aspect of this utility model provides a CPE converged access system, including a CPE device and the aforementioned CPE extension device.

[0015] The CPE device includes a modem and a CPU processor. The CPU processor is provided with a power interface and a communication interface that are connected to the contact interface of the CPE expansion device.

For ease of explanation, only the parts relevant to this embodiment are shown.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown in the figure, this application embodiment provides a CPE expansion device 100, including a base 10 and a turntable 20 connected to the base 10. The base 10 includes a bottom surface 101 and a seat surface 102 disposed opposite to the bottom surface 101. The bottom surface 101 and the seat surface 102 are connected by a side surface 103. The bottom surface 101, the seat surface 102, and the side surface 103 enclose a cavity. A rechargeable battery 110, a control motherboard 120, and a motor 130 are disposed in the cavity. The control motherboard 120 is connected to the rechargeable battery 110 and the motor 130 respectively. The motor 130 is connected to the turntable 20. The seat surface 101 is provided with a contact interface 140 for connecting to the CPE device. The contact interface 140 is connected to the control motherboard 120. The turntable 20 and the seat surface 102 form a receiving cavity 201 for placing the CPE device.

[0026] The contact interface 140 includes a network interface 1401 for connecting to a CPE device, a power socket 1402, and an RF antenna interface 1403.

[0027] In this embodiment, the turntable 20 is cylindrical, and the turntable 20 and the seat surface form a hollow cylindrical receiving cavity 201. The CPE device can be placed in the receiving cavity 201. The turntable 20 is provided with an external antenna interface 21, which can be connected to an external extension antenna 22. The external extension antenna 22 can be selectively extended according to the needs of the CPE device. When the external antenna interface 21 is connected to an external extension antenna, it is equivalent to the CPE device having an additional external antenna, as the antenna function of the CPE device can be further expanded.

[0028] In this embodiment, the external extended antenna 22 includes a WIFI antenna and / or a cellular antenna.

[0029] A screen selection mode button 1031 is provided on the side 103 of the base 10, and the screen selection mode button 1031 is connected to the control motherboard 120.

[0030] The control motherboard 120 includes a rotation control module 121 and a motor drive module 122 electrically connected to the rotation control module 121. The screen selection mode button 1031 is connected to the rotation control module 121, and the motor drive module 122 is connected to the motor 130.

[0031] The base 10 is also provided with a plurality of expansion ports 1031 on its side 103, and the expansion ports 1031 are connected to the control motherboard 120.

[0032] A battery charging port (not shown in the figure) is also provided on the side 103 of the base 10. The battery charging port is connected to the rechargeable battery 110. When needed, the rechargeable battery 110 of the CPE expansion device 100 can be charged through the battery charging port.

[0033] In one embodiment, the CPE device 200 is provided with a power interface 211 and a communication interface 212 that connect to the contact interface of the CPE expansion device. When the CPE device 200 is placed in the accommodating cavity, the power interface 211 on the CPE device 200 can be directly connected to the power socket 1402 of the CPE expansion device to supply power to the CPE device, so that the CPE device does not need an additional external power cord, making it convenient to move and carry. The modem 210 on the CPE device 200 can be connected to the radio frequency antenna interface 1403 of the CPE expansion device; the communication interface 212 interacts with the control motherboard 120. When the user presses the one-key start network selection mode button, the CPE device... The device will automatically perform network selection and output a rotation command signal to the rotation control module 121 of the control motherboard 120 through the communication interface 212. The rotation control module 121 outputs a control signal to control the motor drive module 122 to drive the motor 130 to work, thereby driving the turntable 20 to rotate 360 ​​degrees. During the rotation, the device collects surrounding network signals for signal optimization and evaluation. When the CPE device selects a preferred network with a better signal, it controls the output of a stop rotation command to the control motherboard 120 to control the motor to stop rotating, thereby controlling the turntable 20 to stop rotating. At this time, the external extended antenna is in the optimal signal position, thus realizing the automatic network selection function of the CPE.

[0034] The CPE extension device described in this application embodiment enables the CPE device to be used in any location, improving the portability and ease of use of the CPE device, freeing it from the limitations of a fixed environment, and bringing great convenience to people's activities. At the same time, it can also effectively enhance the network selection capability of the CPE device, preferentially selecting networks with better signals, and providing people with better network services.

[0035] Example 2

[0036] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 This application also provides a CPE converged access system, which includes a CPE device 200 and a CPE extension device 100. The CPE device 200 includes a modem 210 and a CPU processor 220. The CPU processor 220 is provided with a power interface 211 and a communication interface 212 that are connected to the contact interface of the CPE extension device. The modem 210 is connected to the radio frequency antenna interface 1403 on the CPE extension device. The CPE extension device is as described in Embodiment 1 above, and will not be described again here.

[0037] When the CPE converged access system described in this application is in operation, the power interface 211 on the CPE device can be directly connected to the power socket 1402 of the CPE expansion device to power the CPE device, so that the CPE does not need an additional external power cord, making it convenient to move and carry. The modem 210 on the CPE device is connected to the radio frequency antenna interface 1403 of the CPE expansion device. The communication interface 212 communicates with the control motherboard 120 through the network interface 1401. When the user presses the one-key start network selection mode button, the CPE device will automatically select a network and output a rotation command signal to the rotation control module 121 of the control motherboard 120 through the communication interface 212. The rotation control module 121 outputs a control signal to control the motor drive module 122 to drive the motor 130 to work, thereby driving the turntable 20 to rotate. When the CPE device selects the preferred network with a better signal, it controls the output of a stop rotation command to the control motherboard 120 to control the motor 130 to stop rotating, thereby controlling the turntable 20 to stop rotating. In this way, the CPE realizes the function of automatic network selection.

[0038] The CPE converged access system described in this application embodiment can be used in any location, effectively improving the mobility and ease of use of CPE devices, freeing them from the limitations of fixed environments, and bringing great convenience to people's activities. At the same time, it can also effectively enhance the network selection capability of CPE devices, automatically selecting networks with better signals to provide people with better network services.
