Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of wireless communication device technology, and more particularly to a communication repeater. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of technology, people are using electronic products more and more frequently in their lives, and in most cases, they need to be connected to the internet to meet their needs. As a network device, the core function of a WiFi repeater is to receive existing wireless WiFi signals, amplify and strengthen them, and then rebroadcast them to extend the coverage of the original WiFi network.

[0003] However, WiFi repeaters require WiFi network configuration, which can be confusing for users unfamiliar with network products. Furthermore, WiFi repeaters cannot function properly in areas without WiFi networks, resulting in low overall usability of the device.

[0004] Therefore, improving the practicality of network communication equipment has become a problem that needs to be solved.

[0005] The information disclosed in the background section is only intended to enhance the understanding of the background of this application, and therefore may contain information that is not part of the prior art known to those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0007] This application provides a communication repeater, comprising:

[0008] The outer casing includes an upper cover plate and a lower cover plate, and the upper cover plate is provided with a protruding structure.

[0009] The PCB circuit board is located inside the housing. The PCB circuit board is equipped with an MCU chip, a Bluetooth module, and a 4G / 5G module. The Bluetooth module is used to communicate with the terminal device via Bluetooth. The 4G / 5G module is connected to the Internet cloud platform through a SIM card. Both the Bluetooth module and the 4G / 5G module are connected to the MCU chip through a serial communication circuit.

[0010] A USB interface is located at one end of the outer casing, and the USB interface is connected to the PCB circuit board.

[0011] In some embodiments, the raised structure is a smooth panel, and the top cover is a frosted panel.

Figure 3 This is an interactive diagram of the communication repeater provided in this application. Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the internal module connections of the communication repeater provided in this application. Figure 5 A schematic diagram illustrating another configuration of the internal modules of the communication repeater provided in this application is shown below. Figures 1-5 As shown, this application provides a communication repeater, comprising:

[0038] The outer casing 1 includes an upper cover plate 2 and a lower cover plate 4, and the upper cover plate 2 is provided with a protruding structure 3;

[0039] A PCB circuit board 5 is disposed inside the outer casing 1. The PCB circuit board 5 is equipped with an MCU chip, a Bluetooth module, and a 4G / 5G module. The Bluetooth module is used for Bluetooth communication with terminal devices. The 4G / 5G module is connected to the Internet cloud platform through a SIM card. Both the Bluetooth module and the 4G / 5G module are connected to the MCU chip through a serial communication circuit. A USB interface 6 is disposed at one end of the outer casing 1 and is connected to the PCB circuit board 5.

[0040] It should be noted that the reference Figure 4 As shown, the MCU chip, the Bluetooth module, and the 4G / 5G module can be configured such that the MCU chip is connected to the Bluetooth module and the 4G / 5G module respectively, and they interact using serial port AT commands. (Reference) Figure 5 As shown, the configuration of the MCU chip, the Bluetooth module, and the 4G / 5G module can also be that the MCU chip has an embedded Bluetooth module and a 4G / 5G module, and the MCU chip and the 4G / 5G module interact using serial port AT commands.

[0041] This application achieves interaction with the internet cloud platform by setting up a 4G / 5G module and a SIM card, and uses a Bluetooth module for data interaction with terminal devices. Unlike traditional repeaters, it eliminates the need for user network configuration; the repeater can be used seamlessly after being plugged into a power source, and it can also function normally in areas without Wi-Fi, improving the device's practicality. Furthermore, since the USB port 6 requires distinguishing between its front and back sides, this application incorporates a raised structure 3 on the top cover 2, allowing users to quickly identify the front and back of the USB port 6 using the raised structure 3 on the outer casing 1, thus improving device usability.

[0042] In some embodiments, the raised structure 3 is a smooth panel, and the upper cover plate 2 is a frosted panel.

[0043] Specifically, in this embodiment, the lower cover 4 is a frosted panel. With this design, users can quickly determine the orientation of the USB port 6 by touching the upper and lower cover 4, improving device connection efficiency.

[0044] refer to Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the protruding structure 3 is located in the middle of the upper cover plate 2.

[0045] refer to Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the upper cover plate 2 is provided with an indicator light 7, which is electrically connected to the MCU chip. The indicator light 7 flashes when the network connection is unsuccessful and remains lit after the connection is successful as an indication.

[0046] In some embodiments, a buzzer is provided inside the housing 1, and the buzzer is electrically connected to the MCU chip. When the repeater of this application is successfully connected to the terminal device, the buzzer will emit a sound at a certain frequency to indicate to the user that the device has been successfully connected to the terminal device.

[0047] In some embodiments, the USB interface 6 is further provided with a dust cover. By providing a dust cover, the USB interface 6 is waterproofed and dustproofed, preventing damage to the USB interface 6 and extending the service life of the device.

[0048] In some embodiments, the upper cover plate 2 is snapped into the lower cover plate 4.

[0049] In some embodiments, the lower cover plate 4 is provided with a slot for fixing the PCB circuit board 5.

[0050] It should be noted that the repeater of this application can connect to at least one terminal device via a Bluetooth module, that is, it can communicate with only one device via Bluetooth or communicate with multiple terminal devices via Bluetooth simultaneously.

[0051] The repeater described in this application is compact and portable. It can be powered directly via USB 6 or connected to an adapter via USB 6 for 220V power. After power is supplied, the program automatically starts configuring the 4G / 5G module to directly connect to the network, requiring no additional manual operation, making it simple and easy to use. If powered by a power bank, the application scenarios of this device are further expanded.

[0052] Other embodiments of this application will readily occur to those skilled in the art upon consideration of the specification and practice of the application disclosed herein. This application is intended to cover any variations, uses, or adaptations of this application that follow the general principles of this application and include common knowledge or customary techniques in the art not disclosed herein. The specification and examples are to be considered exemplary only, and the true scope and spirit of this application are indicated by the claims.
