Antenna storage structure for a radio

Abstract

This utility model belongs to the field of radio accessories, specifically an antenna storage structure for radios. Addressing the issues that existing radio antennas are typically exposed or simply plugged into the body, leading to long-term exposure and susceptibility to damage or breakage, affecting signal reception, some radios attempt to fold the antenna to the side of the body, but this still results in the antenna protruding and potentially snagging on items during transport. Furthermore, if not securely fixed during storage, the antenna can easily loosen and cause noise. The proposed solution includes a radio body and an antenna body. Support pillars are fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the radio body, and anti-slip pads are provided on the bottom of each pillar, allowing the antenna body to be neatly stored in a rectangular slot when not in use. Grooves on both sides of the rectangular slot facilitate antenna retrieval. The protective cover is made of transparent plastic, allowing clear observation of the antenna body's condition while effectively protecting it from dust, impacts, and other damage.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of radio accessories technology, and in particular to an antenna storage structure for a radio. Background Technology

[0002] A radio is an electronic device that uses an antenna to capture radio waves in the air and then plays audio content. Since its birth in the early 20th century, it has undergone several innovations, from vacuum tubes to integrated circuits and from analog signals to digital technology.

[0003] Radio antennas are usually directly exposed or simply plugged into the body. Long-term exposure can easily damage or break the antenna, affecting signal reception. Some radios attempt to fold the antenna to the side of the body, but it still protrudes from the surface after folding and may still snag on items when carried. If it is not securely fixed when stored, the antenna can easily loosen and cause noise. Existing structures cannot simultaneously solve the problems of storage concealment and ease of access. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the problems of existing radio antennas, which are usually directly exposed or simply plugged into the body. Long-term exposure of the antenna makes it easy to be damaged or broken, affecting the signal reception effect. Some radios attempt to fold the antenna to the side of the body, but it still protrudes from the surface after folding, and may still hook onto items when carried. If it is not securely fixed when stored, the antenna is easy to loosen and generate noise. Therefore, this utility model proposes a radio antenna storage structure.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A radio antenna storage structure includes a radio body and an antenna body. Support columns are fixedly connected to the four bottom corners of the radio body, and anti-slip pads are provided on the bottom of the four support columns. The antenna body is located on the top of the radio body. The radio body is provided with a storage mechanism for storing the antenna body, and the radio body is also provided with a fixing mechanism for fixing the antenna body during use.

[0007] In one possible design, the storage mechanism includes a rectangular slot, a rotating rod, two grooves, and a magnet. The rectangular slot is located on the top of the radio body. One end of the antenna body is fixed to the outside of the rotating rod. The two ends of the rotating rod are rotatably connected to the inner walls of the two sides of the same rectangular slot. The two grooves are located on the two sides of the same rectangular slot to facilitate the removal of the antenna body. The magnet is fixedly located on the bottom inner wall of the rectangular slot for magnetic attraction with the metal cylinder on the outside of the antenna body.

[0008] In one possible design, the fixing mechanism includes an arc-shaped block, an arc-shaped hole, a first limiting plate, a top plate, a fixing post, an inner rod, a second limiting plate, and a second magnet. The arc-shaped block is fixedly mounted on the top of the radio body. The arc-shaped hole is located on the arc-shaped block. One end of the inner rod passes through the arc-shaped hole and is fixedly connected to one side of the first limiting plate. The second limiting plate is fixedly sleeved on the inner rod. The first and second limiting plates are located on opposite sides of the arc-shaped block. The other end of the inner rod is fixedly connected to one side of the second magnet. The other side of the second magnet is magnetically attracted to the outer side of the antenna body. One side of the top plate is fixedly connected to one side of the first limiting plate and is slidably mounted on the top of the arc-shaped block. One end of the fixing post is threaded through the top of the top plate and is tightly attached to the top of the arc-shaped block. The other end of the fixing post is fixedly connected to a rotating handle.

[0009] In one possible design, the top of the radio body is provided with a protective cover for shielding and protecting the antenna body.

[0010] In one possible design, the protective cover is rotatably provided with retaining rings on both the front and rear sides, and the top of the radio body is fixedly connected with two locking blocks that are adapted to the retaining rings, with the two retaining rings respectively fitted onto the two locking blocks.

[0011] In one possible design, the edges of both grooves are set as curved edges.

[0012] In this application, when the radio is working normally, the antenna body is connected to the radio body through a thin wire. The antenna body needs to be adjusted to a suitable state to receive signals. When the antenna needs to be used, the protective cover is removed first. If the protective cover is fixed to the radio body by a retaining ring and a retaining block, the retaining ring can be removed from the retaining block to remove the protective cover. Then, the storage mechanism is operated. Since one end of the antenna body is fixed to the rotating rod, and both ends of the rotating rod are connected to the inner wall of the rectangular groove through bearings, the antenna body is held by hand, and the antenna body is rotated around the rotating rod by inserting the fingers into the groove to easily apply force to remove the antenna body from the rectangular groove. During the removal process, the magnetic attraction between the magnet on the inner wall of the bottom of the rectangular groove and the metal cylinder on the outside of the antenna body gradually decreases until they separate.

[0013] After rotating the antenna body to a suitable angle, it is fixed using a fixing mechanism. One end of the inner rod passes through the arc-shaped hole on the arc-shaped block and is connected to the first limiting plate. The second limiting plate is fixed on the inner rod and located on the other side of the arc-shaped block to prevent the inner rod from sliding out of the arc-shaped hole. The second magnet at the other end of the inner rod is magnetically attracted to the outside of the antenna body, thus initially fixing the antenna body. Then, rotate the rotating handle on the fixing post. The fixing post has external threads that pass through the top plate and are tightly attached to the top of the arc-shaped block. Rotation can adjust the tightness between the top plate and the arc-shaped block, thereby fixing the position of the inner rod and stabilizing the antenna body at the required angle.

[0014] When the antenna is not needed, reverse the above steps. First, loosen the fixing post to separate magnet two from the antenna body. Then, rotate the antenna body back into the rectangular slot around the rotating rod. Magnet one will magnetically attract the metal cylinder on the outside of the antenna body, so that the antenna body is stably stored in the rectangular slot. Finally, re-fix the protective cover to the top of the radio body using the retaining ring and the retaining block to protect the antenna body.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] In this invention, the storage mechanism allows the antenna body to be neatly stored in the rectangular slot when not in use. The grooves on both sides of the rectangular slot make it easy to pick up the antenna, the arc-shaped edge design avoids scratching fingers, and the bottom magnet ensures the stability of the antenna when stored, preventing it from shaking or falling off.

[0017] The fixing mechanism allows the antenna body to be fixed at a suitable angle during use. The inner rod slides in the arc-shaped hole, and the antenna angle can be flexibly adjusted with the help of magnet 2. Rotating the fixing post can accurately fix the position of the inner rod, ensuring that the antenna receives signals stably and improving the sound reception effect. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0025] In one embodiment: Refer to Figures 1-5An antenna storage structure includes a radio body 1 in the shape of a cuboid, with support columns fixedly connected to the four corners of its bottom. The support columns are made of hard plastic and have a certain strength and stability. Each support column has an anti-slip pad at its bottom. The anti-slip pad is made of rubber and has anti-slip texture on the surface, which can effectively prevent the radio from sliding when placed. The antenna body 7 is set on the top of the radio body 1 and is used by the radio body 1 to receive signals. The radio body 1 is equipped with a storage mechanism and a fixing mechanism.

[0026] In the storage mechanism, a rectangular slot 5 is provided on the top of the radio body 1. The size of the rectangular slot 5 is designed according to the size of the antenna body 7 to ensure that the antenna body 7 can be smoothly inserted. One end of the antenna body 7 is fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating rod 18. The rotating rod 18 is made of metal to ensure its strength and durability. The two ends of the rotating rod 18 are respectively connected to the inner walls of the two sides of the same rectangular slot 5 through bearings, so that the antenna body 7 can rotate around the rotating rod 18. Two grooves 6 are provided on the two sides of the same rectangular slot 5. The depth and width of the grooves 6 are moderate, making it easy to insert fingers to take out the antenna body 7. The edges of the two grooves 6 are set as arc edges 8 to avoid scratching fingers. A magnet 9 is fixedly installed on the bottom inner wall of the rectangular slot 5. The magnet 9 has moderate magnetism and can generate a magnetic attraction with the metal cylinder on the outside of the antenna body 7, so that the antenna body 7 can be stably fixed in the rectangular slot 5 when stored.

[0027] In the fixing mechanism, the arc-shaped block 10 is fixedly mounted on the top of the radio body 1. An arc-shaped hole 11 is formed on the arc-shaped block 10. The width of the arc-shaped hole 11 matches the diameter of the inner rod 15, allowing the inner rod 15 to slide smoothly within the arc-shaped hole 11. The inner rod 15 is made of metal, with one end passing through the arc-shaped hole 11 and fixedly connected to one side of the limiting plate 12. The limiting plate 12 is circular, with a diameter larger than the width of the arc-shaped hole 11, preventing the inner rod 15 from sliding out from one side of the arc-shaped hole 11. A second limiting plate 16 is fixedly sleeved on the inner rod 15. The second limiting plate 16 is also circular, with a diameter larger than the width of the arc-shaped hole 11. The first limiting plate 12 and the second limiting plate 16 are located on opposite sides of the arc-shaped block 10, limiting the range of movement of the inner rod 15. The other end of the inner rod 15 is fixedly connected to one side of the second magnet 17. The other side of the second magnet 17 can magnetically attract the outer side of the antenna body 7, thereby fixing the antenna body 7 in use. One side of the top plate 13 is fixedly connected to one side of the limiting plate 12, and the top plate 13 is slidably set on the top of the arc block 10. One end of the fixing post 14 has an external thread, which passes through the top of the top plate 13 and is tightly attached to the top of the arc block 10. The tightness between the top plate 13 and the arc block 10 can be adjusted by rotating the fixing post 14. The other end of the fixing post 14 is fixedly connected to a rotating handle, which makes it convenient for the operator to rotate the fixing post 14. After the antenna body 7 is rotated to a suitable angle, the inner rod 15 can magnetically attract the antenna body 7 and fix it through the fixing post 14.

[0028] This application can be used in the field of radio, or in other fields applicable to this application.

[0029] In another embodiment: Reference Figures 1-5 An antenna housing structure for a radio, comprising:

[0030] A protective cover 2 is also provided on the top of the radio body 1. The protective cover 2 is made of transparent plastic, which can protect the antenna body 7 without affecting the observation of the antenna body 7. The front and rear sides of the protective cover 2 are equipped with retaining rings 3. The retaining rings 3 have a certain degree of elasticity. Two locking blocks 4 that are adapted to the retaining rings 3 are fixedly connected to the top of the radio body 1. The locking blocks 4 are cylindrical. When the protective cover 2 is placed on the top of the radio body 1, the two retaining rings 3 are respectively put on the two locking blocks 4 to fix the protective cover 2 on the radio body 1.
