Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a fixing structure for fixing electronic equipments on a wall or a rod, in particular to a quick-release fixing structure for electronic equipments.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Present electronic equipments sometimes have to be installed on a wall or a rod. For example, when an antenna case is installed indoors, the antenna case is usually adjusted to the best position for receiving signals, so that the installation positions of the antenna case may be bizarre; and when the antenna case is installed outdoors, the antenna case is usually installed at a high place for receiving the signals, so that most antenna cases are installed at positions such as a street lamp pole, an attic wall or a railing.

Since the antenna cases are installed at places without a specific regularity regardless of its installation indoors or outdoors, therefore users have to fix the antenna case to a desired place on their own. In general, most antenna cases are fixed by using a string to tie the antenna case onto a rod or using a nail or an adhesive tape to fix the antenna case onto a wall.

However, if the antenna case fails to receive signals and it is necessary to switch the position of the installed antenna case, or inspect, maintain or repair the antenna case, then users have to cut the string in order to remove the antenna case. Even worse, the users require much effort to remove nails or adhesive tapes in order to remove the antenna case, if the antenna case is fixed by nails and adhesive tapes. In addition, the fixing holes may be expanded and the adhesiveness may be insufficient at the original positions of the removed nails or adhesive tapes, so that the antenna case cannot be reinstalled, and the marks of the nails and adhesive tapes ruin the aesthetic look of the environment. Obviously, users are unwilling to use these methods to fix the antenna case.

In view of the aforementioned problems, the inventor of the present invention based on existing technologies to conduct extensive researches and experiments, and finally developed a quick-release fixing structure for electronic equipments in accordance with the present invention to overcome the problems of the prior art.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Therefore, it is a primary objective of the present invention to provide a quick-release fixing structure for an electronic equipment capable of quickly removing the electronic equipment from a substrate when the electronic equipment is switched to another installation position, inspected, maintained or repaired, so as to improve the convenience of using the electronic equipment.

To achieve the aforementioned objective, the present invention provides a quick-release fixing structure for an electronic equipment, and the electronic equipment has a plurality of holes and a snap slot, and the quick-release fixing structure comprises: a substrate, having a plurality of grooves and a port, each having a first groove hole and a second groove hole interconnected with the first groove hole, and the second groove hole having a size greater than the first groove hole; a turning element, coupled to the substrate, and having a bump connected thereto and exposed from the port and snapped into the corresponding snap slot; and a plurality of fixing elements, passed through the first groove holes respectively and fixed to the hole; thereby the turning element can be turned to push the electronic equipment to move, such that each fixing element is moved into each second groove hole to separate the electronic equipment from the substrate.

The present invention has the following effects. The electronic equipment can be fixed to a rod or a wall selectively by using the support frame or the locking hole of the substrate to provide more disposing positions of the electronic equipment, so that the quick-release fixing structure of the present invention features a very convenient installation. In addition, if it is necessary to change the position of the electronic equipment or inspect, maintain or repair the electronic equipment, the electronic equipment can be removed from the substrate at a fixed position of the rod or the wall, so as to improve the convenience of using the electronic equipment.
