Integrated Dish Antenna Structure Without Screw Perforations
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing CPE devices have high manufacturing costs and reduced reflective surface area due to separate assembly of micro-antenna components and screw fixation, which compromises structural integrity and efficiency.
Innovation Solution
A communication device with integrally formed internal components, specifically a signal transceiver device comprising a dish element, focusing surface bracket, and support assembly, manufactured through die-casting to form a unified structure without screw perforations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If separate components are assembled to form the micro-antenna mechanism, then manufacturing flexibility and ease of repair are improved, but manufacturing costs increase and assembly errors occur
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the dish-shaped antenna, antenna bracket, and support structure into a single integrally formed micro-antenna mechanism. This eliminates the need for separate assembly of multiple components, reducing assembly complexity and manufacturing costs while maintaining manufacturing flexibility through unified die-casting or molding processes
2Strength
If screws are used to fix the dish-shaped antenna to the antenna bracket, then structural strength is improved, but the reflective surface area is reduced due to perforations
Solution Approach 1:
By integrating the dish-shaped antenna and antenna bracket into a single piece, the patent eliminates the need for screw fixation. This preserves the complete reflective surface area without perforations while maintaining structural strength through the integral connection of components
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts the fastening function from the design by eliminating the need for separate fasteners. The integral structure inherently provides structural strength without requiring screws or other penetration-based fixation methods that would compromise the reflective surface
3Ease of repair
If multiple separate components are assembled, then ease of repair and replacement are improved, but assembly time and manufacturing costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple components into a single integrally formed unit, which eliminates assembly steps and reduces manufacturing costs. While this reduces component replaceability, it significantly improves assembly efficiency by eliminating the need to assemble multiple separate parts

AI summary
A communication device includes a base and a signal transceiver device. The signal transceiver device is disposed on the base. The signal transceiver device includes a dish element, a focusing surface bracket, a signal transceiver element, a support assembly and two pivot members. The dish element includes a reflective surface and a back surface located on opposite sides. The focusing surface bracket has a focusing surface, and the focusing surface faces the reflective surface. The signal transceiver element is disposed on the focusing surface. The support assembly is connected to the back surface of the dish element, and a portion of the support assembly extends from the dish element for connecting to the focusing surface bracket. Each pivot member is connected to the base and the portion of the support assembly extending from the dish element.
