Description

Panel type antenna and its installation method

【Technical field】

The invention relates to an antenna and its installation method, in particular to a panel-type antenna installed on a computer host and its installation method.

【Background technique】

With the development of communication technology, especially the rapid development of Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), more and more computers are equipped with antennas for transmitting and receiving signals, so as to have the ability to perform wireless communication in the local area network. Function. Generally, there are three installation methods to install the existing antenna on the computer. The first method is: the screws penetrate the casing and the antenna of the computer host so as to assemble the antenna to the inner wall of the casing. However, this method has two disadvantages: first, it destroys the overall appearance of the main computer; second, when disassembling the main computer, the internal components of the casing may scratch the antenna on the inner wall of the casing, thereby affecting the communication performance of the antenna or even damage to the antenna. The second way is to assemble the antenna to the interface of the metal baffle of the wireless network card. The antenna installed in this way is usually in an exposed state and is easily damaged by external factors. The third way is to combine a flat antenna with a wireless network card. The two are assembled together inside the computer. When not in use, the antenna is compressed inside the computer. When it needs to be used, the antenna usually needs to be pulled out of the computer. can be used, which brings inconvenience to users.

【Content of invention】

The object of the present invention is to provide a panel-type antenna and its installation method which can effectively protect the antenna from external damage without damaging the overall appearance of the computer host and are easy to use.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: the panel-type antenna is installed on a computer host, including a panel, an antenna body, a cable and a connector, and the computer host includes a housing, an opening arranged on the housing surface A plurality of expansion slots, and the panel antenna is accommodated in the expansion slots.

The installation method of the panel type antenna of the present invention comprises the following steps:

Step 1: Connect the antenna connector to the corresponding docking connector of the host computer;

Step 2: Assemble the antenna body to the inner wall of the panel;

Step 3: Install the panel with the antenna body on the expansion slot of the host computer.

Compared with the prior art, the antenna body of the panel-type antenna of the present invention is first assembled on the inner wall of the panel, and then installed on the expansion slot of the computer host, so that the panel-type antenna will not damage the overall appearance of the computer host, and can effectively Protect the antenna from external damage and facilitate disassembly.

Fig. 2 is a three-dimensional assembled view of the panel antenna of the present invention.

Fig. 3 is a perspective combined view of Fig. 2 from another perspective.

【Detailed ways】

Please refer to Fig. 1 to shown in Fig. 3, panel type antenna 2 of the present invention is installed on the electronic equipment (unlabeled), and it comprises panel 101, antenna body 21, connector 22 and the line that connects antenna body 21 and connector 22 Cable 23. The panel 101 includes an inner wall 102 and a clamping edge 103 disposed on a peripheral edge for matching with the expansion slot. The electronic device described in this embodiment is a computer host, including a housing 1 and a number of circuit boards (not shown) inside, and a docking connector is provided on the circuit board. Wherein the shell 1 surface (unlabeled) is provided with several reserved 5.25-inch, 3.5-inch rectangular expansion slots 100 inwards, and the 5.25-inch expansion slots 100 can be used to expand and install CD-ROM drives (not shown), and the 3.5-inch expansion slots 100 A floppy disk drive (not shown) can be used to expand the installation.

The panel-type antenna of the present invention is installed on the computer host, and its installation method mainly includes the following steps:

Step 1: Connect the connector 22 of the antenna 2 to the corresponding docking connector in the computer;

Step 2: Install the antenna body 21 on the inner wall of the panel 101 by screwing or pasting;

Step 3: Install the panel 101 with the antenna body 21 on the expansion slot 100 of the computer host, and the clamping edges 103 around the panel 101 closely match the opening of the expansion slot 100 .

Since general computer hosts have spare expansion slots as spares, the panel antenna of the present invention can make full use of these expansion slots, and replace or remove the antenna body 21 by replacing the panel 101 according to actual needs.
