[0030] Example 1

[0031] The set-top box provided in this embodiment is easy to install, such as... Figures 1-6As shown, the device includes: a set-top box housing 1, with sliding holes 101 at both ends of the lower surface of the set-top box housing 1, and insertion slots 102 at one end of the inner wall of each sliding hole 101. A portable component 2 is slidably inserted into the sliding hole 101, and the other end of the portable component 2 is inserted into the insertion slot 102. A limiting plate 3 is detachably installed at one end of the portable component 2. The surface of the limiting plate 3 has multiple limiting slots 301 corresponding to the interfaces of the set-top box housing 1, and rubber plates 302 are respectively adhered to one end of the inner wall of each of the multiple limiting slots 301. The portable component 2 includes two sliding blocks 201, both of which are slidably installed in the sliding holes 101. An insertion block 205 is provided on one side of each of the two sliding blocks 201, and the insertion block 205 is inserted into the insertion slot 102. A central fixing plate 204 is fixedly connected between two sliding blocks 201. The surface of the central fixing plate 204 is provided with a first through hole. A fixing plate 202 is installed on one side of each of the two sliding blocks 201. When the fixing plate 202 slides into the sliding hole 101 with the sliding block 201, it fits against one end of the lower surface of the set-top box shell 1. A connecting rod 203 is installed on the other side of each sliding block 201. The other end of the limiting plate 3 is detachably installed on one end of the connecting rod 203. A connecting plate 303 is fixedly installed on both ends of the lower surface of the limiting plate 3. The connecting plate 303 and the connecting rod 203 are provided with the same threaded hole on one side, and bolts are threaded into the threaded hole.

[0032] Through the design of the sliding hole 101, the portable component 2, and the limiting plate 3, the set-top box housing 1 can be placed on a platform or mounted on a wall depending on the installation environment. The sliding block 201 is placed on the platform, and then the set-top box housing 1 slides into the sliding hole 101 on its lower surface, thus securing it. The central fixing plate 204 installed between the two sliding blocks 201 enhances the connection stability and improves airflow at the bottom of the set-top box housing 1, preventing heat from being difficult to dissipate when the surface of the set-top box housing 1 is in contact with the platform. Furthermore, the fixing plate 202 installed on one side of the sliding block 201 adheres to the lower surface of the set-top box housing 1, increasing support strength. When wall mounting is required, the sliding block 201 can be pre-installed... The insert block 201 is placed on the wall surface and the screw is inserted into the first through hole on the surface of the solid plate 204 for fixation. Then, it is slidably connected to the insert block 201 through the sliding hole 101. During the sliding connection, the insert block 205 installed on one side of the insert block 201 is inserted into the insert groove 102 provided in the sliding hole 101 to enhance the stability of the set-top box shell 1 when used on the wall. This allows the installation position of the set-top box to be flexibly adjusted according to usage requirements. Then, the limiting plate 3 on one side of the insert block 201 is easy to install and remove. When inserting data cables and signal cables, the limiting groove 301 provided in the limiting plate 3 makes it easy to organize the cables, avoiding the data cables from being messy and tangled, which may cause the interface to loosen or have poor contact. In addition, the rubber plate 302 bonded to the inner wall can reduce the wear on the surface of the cable.

[0033] Example 2

[0034] The set-top box provided in this embodiment is easy to install, such as... Figures 4-6 As shown, the device includes: two mounting plates 202, each with a mounting plate 401 fixedly installed on one side; each mounting plate 401 has a second through hole on one side; a threaded sleeve 404 is fixedly installed in the second through hole; a screw 403 is threadedly connected to the threaded sleeve 404; the screw 403 is rotatably connected to a connecting plate 402 via a bearing; a fastening plate 4 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting plate 402; a limiting rod 405 is fixedly installed on one side of the mounting plate 401; the other end of the limiting rod 405 passes through one end of the connecting plate 402; an extrusion adhesive block 406 is adhered to the inner wall of the fastening plate 4; the fastening plate 4 is rotated by the screw 403 to fit against the corner of one side of the set-top box housing 1.

[0035] Through the design of the threaded sleeve 404, screw 403, and fastening plate 4, when the set-top box housing 1 is installed through the sliding hole 101 and the sliding block 201, the screw 403 is rotated to make axial displacement in the threaded sleeve 404, which drives the connecting plate 402, which is rotatably connected at one end by a bearing, to move closer to the set-top box housing 1. The fastening plate 4, which is connected to one side of the connecting plate 402, fits against the corner of the set-top box housing 1 to improve the connection tightness. In addition, the inner wall of the fastening plate 4 is bonded with extrusion rubber blocks 406 to enhance the clamping stability. When the connecting plate 402 moves, the limiting rod 405 can limit the rotation tendency of the connecting plate 402 around the screw 403, ensuring that the fastening plate 4 always fits against the corner of the set-top box housing 1 in a straight line, avoiding clamping failure caused by displacement, thereby effectively ensuring the structural stability of the set-top box housing 1 during installation and use.

[0036] In summary, the set-top box provided in this embodiment, which is easy to install, has the following advantages: the design of the easy-to-install component 2 and the screw 403 can improve the stability during use on platforms and walls, expand the usage scenarios, and prevent the set-top box from being unable to be fixed due to the roughness of the platform surface, thereby effectively meeting the flexible installation and use of the set-top box on the wall and platform.

[0037] When using the set-top box housing 1, it can be placed on a platform or mounted on a wall, depending on the installation environment. The sliding block 201 is placed on the platform, and then the set-top box housing 1 is fixed by sliding the sliding block 201 into the sliding hole 101 on its lower surface. The mounting plate 202 on one side of the sliding block 201 adheres to the lower surface of the set-top box housing 1, increasing its support strength. When wall mounting is required, the sliding block 201 is placed on the wall beforehand, and screws are inserted into the first through hole on the surface of the middle mounting plate 204 for fixing. Then, the sliding block 201 is slidably connected to the sliding hole 101. When connected, the insertion block 205 installed on one side of the sliding block 201 is inserted into the insertion slot 102 provided in the sliding hole 101 to enhance the stability of the set-top box shell 1 when used on the wall. When inserting data and signal lines, the limiting slot 301 provided in the limiting plate 3 facilitates the arrangement of the lines. By rotating the screw 403, the screw 403 is axially displaced in the threaded sleeve 404, which drives the connecting plate 402, which is connected to the set-top box shell 1 at one end through the bearing, to move closer to the set-top box shell 1. The fastening plate 4 connected to one side of the connecting plate 402 fits against the corner of the set-top box shell 1 to improve the connection tightness. In addition, the inner wall of the fastening plate 4 is adhered with the extrusion rubber block 406 to enhance the clamping stability.

[0038] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the implementation methods and protection scope of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art should realize that any equivalent substitutions and obvious changes made based on the description and illustrations of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
