Modular tuner and method for manufacturing the same

Abstract

Disclosed herein are a modular tuner and a method for manufacturing the same. The modular tuner includes a metallic casing, a tuner adaptor and a plurality of metallic elastic pieces. The metallic casing has an opening, and the tuner adaptor has a metallic outer surface. The plurality of metallic elastic pieces and the metallic casing are integrally formed by stamping followed by bending, and the metallic elastic pieces extend outwardly from the edge of the opening of the metallic casing and respectively interfere with the metallic outer surface of the tuner adaptor.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method for manufacturing a modular tuner, comprising:
 performing a stamping process such that a plurality of metallic elastic pieces of a metallic casing are bent and formed from the opening of the metallic casing toward the exterior of the metallic casing; and   embedding a tuner adaptor in the opening, such that the plurality of metallic elastic pieces respectively interfere with the metallic outer surface of the tuner adaptor.   
     
     
         2 . The manufacturing method according to the  claim 1 , further comprising:
 before performing the stamping process, performing a cutting process, such that a plurality of metallic elastic pieces and a metallic part interlocking with the plurality of metallic elastic pieces are cut at the opening of the metallic casing; and   while performing the stamping process, removing the metallic part interlocking with the plurality of metallic elastic pieces, and bending and forming the plurality of metallic elastic pieces.   
     
     
         3 . The manufacturing method according to the  claim 2 , wherein the plurality of metallic elastic pieces are a plurality of triangular tooth-like metallic elastic pieces or a plurality of trapezoidal tooth-like metallic elastic pieces. 
     
     
         4 . The manufacturing method according to the  claim 3 , wherein the stamping process comprises:
 applying a first stamping on the terminal ends of the plurality of triangular tooth-like metallic elastic pieces, such that the terminal end of each of the plurality of triangular tooth-like metallic elastic pieces forms a bending section; and   after applying the first stamping, applying a second stamping on the plurality of triangular tooth-like metallic elastic pieces, such that the plurality of triangular tooth-like metallic elastic pieces are bent and formed from the opening.   
     
     
         5 . The manufacturing method according to the  claim 1 , wherein the metallic casing comprises a metallic casing body and a metallic casing lid, has a notch formed on the upper edges of the side walls, and the manufacturing method comprises:
 when the tuner adaptor is positioned in the opening, combining the metallic casing body and the metallic casing lid, such that a fastening of the metallic casing lid is introduced into the notch and inserted into the annular groove of the tuner adaptor, thereby fixing the tuner adaptor.
