Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing antenna boxes typically support only a single wireless communication standard and have fixed connections, limiting their versatility and flexibility in accommodating multiple wireless communication standards and requiring individual connections for each antenna.
Innovation Solution
An antenna box module with multiple antennas supporting different wireless communication standards, featuring a housing with exposed connection terminals and a connection wire module that allows for detachable and flexible connections via connectors with common bases and through holes, enabling simultaneous electrical connections for multiple antennas.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If an antenna box supports only a single wireless communication standard with fixed connections, then the device structure is simple, but the versatility and adaptability are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements multi-functionality by integrating multiple antennas supporting different wireless communication standards (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS) into a single antenna box. The housing contains multiple antennas with different connection terminals, allowing the device to perform multiple wireless communication functions simultaneously, thereby resolving the contradiction between versatility and structural complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies segmentation by providing individual connection terminals for each antenna type within the housing. Each antenna (Wi-Fi antenna, Bluetooth antenna, GPS antenna) has its own dedicated connection terminal, allowing independent connection and configuration. This segmented approach enables multi-standard support while maintaining organized internal structure.
2Ease of operation
If individual connection wires are used for each antenna, then the connection is stable, but the connection process becomes complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple individual connection operations into a single unified connection process. By providing a housing that exposes multiple connection terminals simultaneously, users can connect multiple antennas to the antenna box in one operation rather than connecting each antenna separately, significantly reducing connection time and simplifying the installation process.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-arranging multiple connection terminals within the housing in a accessible configuration. The terminals are positioned and organized before the user performs the connection operation, allowing for efficient simultaneous connection of multiple antennas without requiring complex routing or sequential connection steps.
3Ease of operation
If connection terminals are not exposed, then the housing is compact, but the connection accessibility is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the connection terminals from the interior of the housing and exposes them on the outer surface of the housing. This extraction allows users to access and connect to the antennas without opening the housing or performing complex internal routing operations, significantly improving connection accessibility while maintaining a relatively compact housing structure.

AI summary
An antenna module includes an antenna box and a first connection wire. The antenna box can include a first antenna, a second antenna, a first connection terminal, a second connection terminal and a housing. The first and second antennas are located in the housing and the housing has a first opening collectively exposing a portion of the first connection terminal and a portion of the second connection terminal. Each of the first and second antennas is adapted to receive or transmit wireless signals according to one of a plurality of wireless communication standards and the first and second antennas are electrically connected to the first and second connection terminals, respectively. The wireless communication standards can be different from each other.
