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.
Claims16
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.
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.
