Modular Antenna Base Assembly for Multi-Band Connector Integration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Installing multiple antennas with different frequency bands in wireless communication devices is time-consuming and labor-intensive due to the need for individual assembly and connection of connectors.
Innovation Solution
An antenna base and set that allows simultaneous assembly and electrical connection of a host and connectors, featuring a body with multiple antennas and fixed first connectors, and second connectors that are electrically connected to the antennas, enabling quick and secure attachment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional individual assembly and connection of connectors is used, then connection reliability is ensured, but assembly time and labor intensity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple antenna connectors into a single integrated connector assembly. The connector assembly includes multiple connectors arranged in an array that can be attached to the host simultaneously, rather than attaching each connector individually. This merging of multiple connection operations into one simultaneous operation reduces assembly time while maintaining connection reliability through the integrated design.
2Manufacturing precision
If multiple antennas with different frequency bands are installed individually, then proper connector type and frequency band matching is ensured, but assembly process becomes complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the antenna system into a host portion and a separate connector assembly portion. The connector assembly is pre-configured with multiple connectors of different types corresponding to different frequency bands. This segmentation allows the connectors to be properly matched to different antenna frequency bands in advance, while simplifying the final assembly process where the entire pre-matched connector assembly is attached as one unit to the host.
3Strength
If traditional rotation and locking connection method is used, then secure connection is achieved, but assembly operation becomes labor-intensive
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the traditional rotation and locking mechanical connection method with a snap-fit or clip-based mechanical system. The connector assembly includes attachment mechanisms such as clips or latches that can be engaged with the host in a single motion without requiring rotational manipulation. This substitution maintains secure connection strength while significantly improving ease of operation and reducing labor intensity.

AI summary
An antenna base and an antenna set. The antenna set includes a host and the antenna base. The host is fixed with a plurality of first connectors. The host is detachably assembled to the antenna base. The antenna base includes a body, a plurality of antennas and a plurality of second connectors. The antenna is installed at the body. The second connectors are electrically connected to the antennas. The assembling of the host and the body and the electrical and structural connection of the first connector and the second connector are completed in the same time.
