  • Patent number: 11967772
    Abstract: An antenna rotation structure includes a rotating shaft member rotatably disposed through a perforated groove of a housing, an annular member, and an elastic member. The rotating shaft member has a holding portion located in an accommodating space of the housing, a connecting portion connected to the holding portion and with an annular groove, and a gripping portion with one end connected to the connecting portion and the other end protruded from the housing. The annular member is disposed in the annular groove and abuts the perforated groove. The elastic member is sleeved on the one end of the gripping portion. The connecting portion and the one end of the gripping portion are disposed in the perforated groove. The gripping portion is turned to drive the rotating shaft member to rotate, thereby adjusting an angle of the antenna.
