The player set top box can play TV, movies, music, TV series, news, and others, the box of the outer plastic shell, is called the housing for set top box. This set top box shell boasts several impressive qualities, including high strength, exceptional hardness, and waterproof properties. It is resistant to electricity, maintains its shape under stress, and can withstand high temperatures and pressure. Additionally, it is easy to mass-produce and completely harmless to humans. These advantages make it a popular choice for manufacturing everyday plastic products.
Advantages of ABS Plastic for Set Top Box Housing
We choose ABS plastic as the raw material for set top box enclosure because of its various advantages.
1. Non-Toxic and Odorless
As living standards continue to rise, our primary concern is ensuring that set-top box housings are safe for human contact. ABS plastic perfectly meets this requirement, being both non-toxic and odorless. Composed of a terpolymer with excellent thermoplastic properties, ABS guarantees safety for users.
2. Excellent Wear Resistance
The mechanical properties of ABS plastic are widely recognized. It offers superior impact resistance and can function effectively in harsh environments, including low temperatures. ABS plastic also provides excellent dimensional stability, along with water and oil resistance. Although its creep resistance is greater than that of polycarbonate (PC) but slightly less than polyamide (PA), its wear resistance is significantly enhanced when used for injection-molded housings.
3. Superior Thermal Properties
ABS plastic demonstrates impressive thermal characteristics. It only deforms at temperatures above 93°C (199.4°F) and maintains its plasticity at temperatures as low as -40°C (-40°F). Set top box housings made from ABS can withstand both extremely hot and cold weather conditions, making them suitable for various climates.
4. Excellent Insulation
ABS plastic offers outstanding electrical insulation properties, remaining unaffected by environmental factors such as humidity. It maintains its insulation performance in virtually any environment, making it an ideal choice for set-top box housings that require reliable electrical insulation.
Structure of Set-Top Box Housing
1. WIFI Antenna
The WIFI antenna is made from injection-molded ABS plastic and is cylindrical. Matching the main body of the set-top box housing, the WIFI antenna can rotate 360 degrees, allowing users to easily adjust it for optimal signal reception.
2. Top Cover
The top cover of the set-top box is designed with a curved surface and can be customized in color. It has a sleek and premium appearance, maintaining a smooth finish without any interlocking parts with the bottom cover, thus ensuring a unified and elegant look.
3. Bottom Cover
The bottom cover of the set-top box is flat and features raised sections at the four corners, which elevate it by 3mm from the surface. This design offers multiple benefits: it facilitates heat dissipation and prevents water from causing short circuits or damage to the mainboard if splashed onto the set-top box.
4. Side Cover
The side cover of the set-top box is primarily white, creating a striking contrast with the top and bottom covers. The center of the side cover features a power button that protrudes by 1mm. This design not only makes the power button visually distinct but also provides tactile feedback, making it easy to locate and press.
5. Various Ports
The side cover of the set-top box includes various ports such as an Ethernet port for network connectivity, USB ports for connecting to a TV, an HD interface, an AVOUT interface for signal output, and a 5V power port for supplying power through an adapter. This version maintains the original details while presenting them more cohesively and fluently.
Conclusion
The housing of a set top box is far more than just a container. It serves as the protective shell for sensitive internal components. When thoughtfully designed and constructed with appropriate materials, can greatly enhance both the user experience and the overall performance of the set-top box.
