Outdoor unit of network communicator and assembly method for the same and disassembly method for the same

Abstract

An outdoor unit for a network communicator includes a base and a wall-mounted bracket. The base includes positioning posts. The wall-mounted bracket includes a fixed seat, a pressing plate, and elastic elements. The fixed seat has first through holes and first sliding grooves, with the first through holes communicating with the first sliding grooves respectively. The pressing plate has second through holes and second sliding grooves, with the second through holes communicating with the second sliding grooves respectively. The elastic elements are disposed between the fixed seat and the pressing plate. The base abuts against the pressing plate. The positioning posts pass through the first and second sliding grooves respectively and are fixed to the fixed seat. Therefore, the structural configuration of this invention allows for assembly and disassembly using pressing and pulling methods, thereby reducing the size of the wall-mounted bracket to be hidden behind the base, ensuring no components protrude from the base, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing design and requiring less installation space.
