Device and method for removing snow and ice from satellite antenna

Abstract

The invention discloses a device and method for removing snow and ice from a satellite antenna. The device comprises a shovel head, a shovel body, a shovel arm, an electric control module, a water pump, a liquid level sensor and a voice buzzer, wherein the outside surface of the shovel head is in accordance with the cambered surface of the satellite antenna; a plurality of small holes are arranged on the outside surface of the shovel body; one end of the shovel arm is connected with the shovel body; the other end of the shovel arm is connected with an operation rod; a first water pipe is arranged in the shovel arm and the operation rod in a penetrating manner; the first water pipe is a corrugated pipe; a melted snow liquid spray head is installed at one end, connected with the shovel body, of the first water pipe; the other end of the first water pipe is connected with a second water pipe connected with a melted snow liquid storage box; the electric control module comprises a power supply and a controller; the water pump installed in the melted snow liquid storage box is connected with the controller through a drive motor; the liquid level sensor installed in the melted snow liquid storage box is connected with the controller; the voice buzzer is connected with the controller; the liquid level sensor detects a melted snow liquid level value and transmits the melted snow liquid level value to the controller, so that the melted snow liquid level value is compared with a preset melted snow liquid height; and the controller controls the voice buzzer to give an alarm when the detected liquid level value is lower than the preset melted snow liquid height.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device and method for removing snow and ice from a satellite antenna. Background technique [0002] The core transmission channel of the mobile emergency communication system is the VSAT satellite communication system. Therefore, the safety and reliability of the satellite communication system are the key to restricting the emergency communication support capability. [0003] The main satellite station is generally built on the top platform of the building. The satellite antenna is composed of the main and sub-reflecting surfaces and the feed horn, and communicates through secondary reflection radiation or receiving electromagnetic waves. When there is snow or ice on the primary and secondary reflective surfaces of the satellite antenna, it will cause the satellite channel to be interrupted and signal loss. [0004] It has happened many times during the winter snow season. The satellite channel is interrupted or the signal is attenua...
