Abstract

An antenna module and a related network communication device are provided in this disclosure. A network communication device includes a circuit board, a network communication chip, an antenna, a signal line, and an antenna bracket. The network communication chip is disposed on the circuit board. The antenna bracket has a first antenna slot, a circuit board slot, a circuit board hook and an opposite supporting part. The first antenna slot is configured to carry the antenna. The circuit board hook and the opposite supporting part are respectively located on opposing first surface and second surface of the circuit board. The circuit board slot is located between the circuit board hook and the opposite supporting part to accommodate the circuit board. The circuit board hook is buckled to a first buckle hole of the circuit board.

First claim

2 . The antenna bracket according to claim 1 , wherein in response to the first antenna slot carrying the antenna, the antenna in the first antenna slot is parallel to the circuit board.

3 . The antenna bracket according to claim 1 , the antenna bracket further having a second antenna slot, wherein the second antenna slot is configured to carry the antenna, in response to the second antenna slot carrying the antenna, the antenna in the second antenna slot is perpendicular to the circuit board.

4 . The antenna bracket according to claim 1 , wherein the antenna in the first antenna slot is perpendicular to the circuit board.

5 . The antenna bracket according to claim 1 , wherein the antenna is placed into the first antenna slot along a first direction, the antenna has a first limiting structure, the first antenna slot has a second limiting structure, the first limiting structure is combined with the second limiting structure to limit movement of the antenna in the first antenna slot in a second direction, the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction.

6 . The antenna bracket according to claim 1 , the antenna bracket further having a cable management part connected wherein a portion of the signal line connected to the antenna is located in the cable management part.

7 . The antenna bracket according to claim 1 , the first antenna slot having an antenna hook configured to be buckled to a second buckle hole of the antenna.

8 . A network communication device, comprising:
a circuit board; a network communication chip, disposed on the circuit board; an antenna; a signal line, electrically connecting the antenna and the circuit board; and an antenna bracket, assembled to an edge of the circuit board, wherein the antenna bracket has a first antenna slot, a circuit board slot, a circuit board hook, and an opposite supporting part, the first antenna slot is configured to carry the antenna, the circuit board hook and the opposite supporting part are respectively located on opposing first surface and second surface of the circuit board, the circuit board slot is located between the circuit board hook and the opposite supporting part to accommodate the circuit board, and the circuit board hook is buckled to a first buckle hole of the circuit board.

9 . The network communication device according to claim 8 , wherein in response to the first antenna slot carrying the antenna, the antenna in the first antenna slot is parallel to the circuit board.

10 . The network communication device according to claim 8 , the antenna bracket further having a second antenna slot, wherein the second antenna slot is configured to carry the antenna, in response to the second antenna slot carrying the antenna, the antenna in the second antenna slot is perpendicular to the circuit board.

11 . The network communication device according to claim 8 , wherein the antenna in the first antenna slot is perpendicular to the circuit board.

12 . The network communication device according to claim 8 , wherein the antenna is placed into the first antenna slot along a first direction, the antenna has a first limiting structure, the first antenna slot has a second limiting structure, the first limiting structure is combined with the second limiting structure to limit movement of the antenna in the first antenna slot in a second direction, the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction.

13 . The network communication device according to claim 8 , the antenna bracket further having a cable management part, wherein a portion of the signal line is located in the cable management part.
