Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional antennas suffer from structural instability due to gaps between components, leading to deformation and poor performance, and have inefficiently organized cables that complicate integration into wireless communication devices.
Innovation Solution
An antenna design featuring a first antenna structure, a signal reflection structure, and an assembling unit with clamping and fastening parts that securely align and stabilize the components, along with a receiving groove to manage the radiator's movement, and a base with positioning passages to organize cables effectively.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If components are assembled by simply mechanically fitting, then assembly is easy, but structural stability deteriorates and gaps between components are enlarged
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple fastening functions into an integrated assembling unit that includes both clamping parts and fastening parts. This merging approach maintains ease of assembly while achieving stable structural connection between the first antenna structure and signal reflection structure, eliminating gaps without requiring separate complex fastening operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The assembling unit acts as an intermediary component between the first antenna structure and signal reflection structure. It provides standardized connection interfaces and multiple fastening mechanisms that bridge the two structures, ensuring stable assembly while maintaining manufacturing simplicity through modular design.
2Weight of moving object
If gain elements are made thin to reduce weight, then weight is reduced, but manufacturing precision deteriorates and deformation increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the physical parameters of gain elements by providing support structures and positioning features within the assembling unit. These support structures prevent excessive thinning of gain elements while maintaining weight reduction, and provide manufacturing precision through fixed positioning during assembly, reducing deformation risks.
3Ease of operation
If cables are organized loosely for ease of connection, then connection flexibility is improved, but device integration becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments cable management into distinct functional zones within the assembling unit, including cable guides and positioning passages. This segmentation allows cables to be organized systematically rather than loosely, reducing integration complexity while maintaining connection flexibility through dedicated cable routing paths.
4Ease of manufacture
If components are connected with larger gaps for ease of assembly, then assembly tolerance is improved, but antenna performance deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs dynamic fastening mechanisms within the assembling unit that can adapt to manufacturing tolerances during assembly. The clamping parts provide initial alignment tolerance, while the fastening parts then secure the connection to eliminate performance-affecting gaps, achieving both assembly ease and performance reliability through a two-stage dynamic connection process.

AI summary
An antenna is provided and includes a first antenna structure, a signal reflection structure, and an assembling unit. The first antenna structure has a first positioning portion and a radiator having a free end. The signal reflection structure has a second positioning portion, in which the signal reflection structure is configured to be assembled with the first antenna structure, and the first positioning portion corresponds with the second positioning portion. The assembling unit is for assembling the first antenna structure and the signal reflection structure in conjunction with the first and second positioning portions. The inner edge is configured to abut against the first antenna structure and the signal reflection structure. The receiving groove is located at one of the end portions of the assembling unit, in which the receiving groove is capable of receiving the free end of the radiator in order to limit its movement.
