Abstract

A bracket structure includes a body, two retaining walls, at least one first stop part, and at least one second stop part. The two retaining walls are respectively connected to two ends of the body, and respectively form an accommodating groove with the body, and a virtual connection line is extended between the two accommodating grooves. At least one first stop part protrudes from the body towards the virtual connection line. At least one second stop part protrudes from at least one of the two retaining walls towards the virtual connection line, and at least one first stop part and the at least one second stop part are separated by a clamping space in a direction. Thus, the bracket structure fix the antenna module without using any fixing components.

Claims (47)

1 . A bracket structure, comprising:

a body;

two retaining walls respectively connected to two ends of the body and respectively forming an accommodating groove with the body, and a virtual connection line being extended between the two accommodating grooves;

at least one first stop part disposed on the body and protruding from the body towards the virtual connection line; and

at least one second stop part disposed on at least one of the two retaining walls, and protruding from the at least one of the two retaining walls towards the virtual connection line, and the at least one first stop part and the at least one second stop part separated by a clamping space in a direction;

wherein the direction is perpendicular to the virtual connection line;

where the at least one first stop part and the at least one second stop part exert forces from opposite directions on a plate extending along the virtual connection line.

2 . The bracket structure according to claim 1 , further comprising:

at least one hook disposed on top of the body, comprising:

a hooking portion; and

an elastic arm connected to the hooking portion and the body.

3 . The bracket structure according to claim 2 , wherein the hooking portion has a hook length between 0.5 mm and 2.5 mm.

4 . The bracket structure according to claim 2 , wherein one end of the hooking portion close to the accommodating groove has a guiding angle, and the guiding angle is a rounded corner.

5 . The bracket structure according to claim 2 , wherein the elastic arm has a width length ratio between 2.7 and 8.0.

6 . The bracket structure according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a piece connected to the at least one first stop part, and protruding from the at least one first stop part towards the virtual connection line.

7 . The bracket structure according to claim 6 , wherein the piece has a height, the two retaining walls respectively have a retaining height, and a ratio of the height to the retaining height is between 0.2 and 0.8.

8 . An antenna fixing device, comprising:

an antenna module comprising

a substrate having a plate shape and extending along a virtual connection line; and

a bracket structure configured to fix the antenna module, comprising:

a body;

two retaining walls respectively connected to two ends of the body and respectively forming an accommodating groove with the body to accommodate the antenna module, and the virtual connection line being extended between the two accommodating grooves;

at least one first stop part disposed on the body and protruding from the body towards the virtual connection line; and

at least one second stop part disposed on at least one of the two retaining walls and protruding from the at least one of the two retaining walls towards the virtual connection line, and the at least one first stop part and the at least one second stop part separated by a clamping space in a direction;

wherein the direction is perpendicular to the virtual connection line, and the at least one first stop part and the at least one second stop part clamp the substrate from opposite directions towards the clamping space to tighten the antenna module.

9 . The antenna fixing device according to claim 8 , wherein the bracket structure further comprises:

at least one hook disposed on top of the body, comprising:

a hooking portion configured to fix the antenna module to the two accommodating grooves; and

an elastic arm connected to the hooking portion and the body.

10 . The antenna fixing device according to claim 9 , wherein the hooking portion has a hook length between 0.5 mm and 2.5 mm.

11 . The antenna fixing device according to claim 9 , wherein one end of the hooking portion close to the accommodating groove has a guiding angle, and the guiding angle is a rounded corner.

12 . The antenna fixing device according to claim 9 , wherein the elastic arm has a width length ratio between 2.7 and 8.0.

13 . The antenna fixing device according to claim 8 , wherein

the antenna module comprises a connection cable connected to the substrate;

the bracket structure further comprises a cable management fastener connected to the body, comprising:

a cable buckle hole configured to limit the connection cable; and

an opening, wherein the connection cable enters the cable buckle hole through the opening.

14 . The antenna fixing device according to claim 13 , wherein

the connection cable has a cable diameter, the cable buckle hole has an aperture and an outer diameter, and the opening has a width;

a ratio of the aperture to the cable diameter is between 1.1 and 1.4;

a ratio of the width to the cable diameter is between 0.70 and 0.95; and

a ratio of the outer diameter to the aperture is between 1.5 and 3.0.

15 . The antenna fixing device according to claim 8 , wherein

the antenna module comprises a notch;

the bracket structure further comprises a piece connected to the at least one first stop part, and protrudes from the at least one first stop part towards the virtual connection line, and the piece corresponds to the notch.

16 . The antenna fixing device according to claim 15 , wherein the piece has a height, the two retaining walls respectively have a retaining height, and a ratio of the height to the retaining height is between 0.2 and 0.8.
