Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of microwave antenna technology, and in particular to a radome support structure and an antenna cover. Background Technology

[0002] In existing point-to-point communication systems, microwave antennas are an indispensable part of the system. In recent years, with the continuous development of the global microwave antenna industry, customers' requirements for antenna performance have also been gradually increasing, demanding that antennas be miniaturized, lightweight, and low-cost.

[0003] A parabolic antenna is a typical microwave antenna. Its open end is usually enclosed by a radome to protect the internal antenna feed section from external environmental interference, thus ensuring continuous and normal operation of the microwave antenna. Therefore, the radome is an essential component of a microwave antenna.

[0004] Existing radomes are generally implemented using the following two methods: (1) Flexible radome fabric replaces rigid radome fabric to reduce the weight of the antenna. This flexible radome fabric generally requires hooks to be set on the edge of the radome fabric to achieve a taut state. In order to achieve a sufficiently flat and taut effect, a large number of hooks are generally required. Therefore, in this radome structure, hooks account for a large cost, and installation and disassembly are inconvenient, resulting in a poor user experience. (2) Existing radomes include a rigid plastic ring support and a flexible radome fabric. A piece of flexible radome fabric is heat-fused onto the plastic ring support, and the heat-fused radome fabric is kept taut by a clamping fixture. The plastic ring support provides support for the taut flexible radome fabric and also serves as a connector for installation on the antenna reflector or antenna rim. However, when the rim of a large-aperture antenna adopts a separate structure, this radome cannot be folded for packaging, and is therefore easily punctured by sharp objects during transportation. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a new radome support structure and antenna cover.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention proposes the following technical solution: a cover fabric support structure for supporting and tightening a cover fabric, the cover fabric support structure comprising at least two cover fabric support members, at least two connecting members, and a plurality of fasteners, the at least two cover fabric support members being connected and fixed to the plurality of fasteners through the at least two connecting members to form a closed ring structure, adjacent two cover fabric support members being connected and fixed to each other through the connecting members and the fasteners, one end of the connecting member being connected and fixed to one of the adjacent two cover fabric support members through the fasteners, and the other end of the connecting member being connected and fixed to the other of the adjacent two cover fabric support members through the fasteners.

[0007] Preferably, the cover support member includes two ends, each end is provided with at least one guide groove, the guide groove is provided with a first guide slope, and the two ends of the connector are respectively provided with at least one wedge block, the wedge block is provided with a second guide slope, the first guide slope and the second guide slope cooperate to guide the wedge block to cooperate with the guide groove.

[0008] Preferably, the cover support is an arc-shaped section, the guide groove is formed by recessing from the outer arc wall of the cover support towards the inner arc wall, and the first guide slope is formed by contracting from the outer arc wall of the cover support towards the inner arc wall.

[0009] Preferably, the cover support is an arc-shaped section, the guide groove is formed by recessing from the inner arc wall of the cover support towards the outer arc wall, and the first guide slope is formed by contracting from the inner arc wall of the cover support towards the outer arc wall.

[0010] Preferably, the connector includes a body, the wedge block protrudes from the body, the second guide slope is disposed on the outer side wall of the wedge block, and the second guide slope is disposed around the end of the wedge block away from the body.

[0011] Preferably, the cover support further includes a guide hole with a protrusion inside the guide hole, the connector has a fastening hole, and the fastener includes a main body and a snap-fit ​​part connected to each other. The main body passes through the guide hole and is fastened to the fastening hole, and the snap-fit ​​part snaps into the protrusion.

[0012] Preferably, the guide hole and the guide groove are connected, and the fastening hole is located in the wedge block.

[0013] Preferably, the cover support member is further provided with at least one mounting hole, the mounting hole being used to mount the cover support member to the antenna surround or antenna reflector surface.

[0014] Preferably, the cover support member is further provided with at least one cover groove for the cover to pass through.

[0015] The present invention also proposes another technical solution: an antenna radome, the antenna radome including a radome fabric and a radome fabric support structure as described in any of the above, the radome fabric including a base and at least two flanges disposed on the outer edge of the base, the radome fabric support member being provided with at least one radome fabric groove, the flanges correspondingly passing through the radome fabric groove and being fixed to the base.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0017] 1. The cover support structure of the present invention includes at least two cover support members, which are detachably assembled and connected by connectors and fasteners. This enables the cover support structure to be folded and packaged, which not only reduces the packaging volume of the antenna, but also prevents the antenna cover from being punctured by sharp objects during transportation, thus avoiding unnecessary material damage.

[0018] 2. This invention provides matching guide ramps in the wedge block of the connector and the guide groove of the cover support, so that when the fastener locks the connector and the cover support, the guide ramp of the wedge block is in close contact with the guide ramp in the guide groove. The contact force generated when the two guide ramps are in contact will cause the cover support to be pushed outward, thereby allowing the antenna cover to be gradually tightened. This avoids the use of too many hooks, which can significantly reduce the cost of the antenna cover structure and achieve a cost advantage. Attached Figure Description

[0037] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 11As shown, an antenna cover disclosed in the first embodiment of the present invention includes a cover support structure 10 and a cover 20. The cover 20 is supported and tightened by the cover support structure 10. This cover support structure 10 can tighten the cover 20 when it is in a loose state, and can also realize the foldable packaging of the cover 20. The fabric support structure 10 includes multiple fabric support members 11, multiple connectors 12, and multiple fasteners 13. The multiple fabric support members 11 are connected to form a closed ring structure by the multiple connectors 12 and the multiple fasteners 13. The closed ring structure can be a circular ring, a polygonal ring, etc. Adjacent fabric support members 11 are connected and fixed together by connectors 12 and fasteners 13. One end of connector 12 is connected and fixed to one of the two adjacent fabric support members 11 by fasteners 13, and the other end of connector 12 is connected and fixed to the other of the two adjacent fabric support members 11 by fasteners 13. This allows the multiple fabric support members 11 to be completely and reliably connected and fixed together. The number of connectors 12 corresponds to the number of fabric support members 11. In this embodiment, the cover support structure 10 includes five cover support members 11, five connectors 12, and ten fasteners 13. Each cover support member 11 is an arc-shaped segment. Adjacent cover support members 11 are connected and fixed to each other via a connector 12 and two fasteners 13, thus forming a closed ring. The arc length of each cover support member 11 is set to one-fifth of the circumference corresponding to the antenna (not shown) aperture. The annular aperture of the cover support structure 10 can be adjusted according to the antenna aperture. In other embodiments, the cover support members 11 can also be configured as zigzag-shaped segments, and the cover support structure 10 consists of multiple cover support members 11, multiple connectors 12, and multiple fasteners 13 forming a closed polygonal ring.

[0039] Combination Figure 3As shown, each cover support member 11 includes two oppositely arranged ends. Each end is provided with a guide groove 110 formed by recessing from the outer arc wall of the cover support member 11 towards the inner arc wall. The guide groove 110 is an elongated oval groove. The guide groove 110 is provided with a first guide inclined surface 114 formed by contracting from the outer arc wall of the cover support member 11 towards the inner arc wall. Each end is also provided with a guide hole 111 that penetrates the inner arc wall and the outer arc wall of the cover support member 11. The guide hole 111 is an elongated oval hole. In this embodiment, the guide hole 111 and the guide groove 110 at each end of the cover support member 11 are connected. The guide groove 110 is closer to the outer arc wall than the guide hole 111. This design simplifies the structure of the cover support member 11. In other embodiments, the guide hole 111 and the guide groove 110 can also be staggered, that is, the guide hole 111 and the guide groove 110 at each end of the cover support member 11 are not connected. In this embodiment, the guide hole 111 includes a first through portion 112 and a second through portion 113 that are interconnected. Both the first through portion 112 and the second through portion 113 are oblong. The first through portion 112 is connected to the guide groove 110. The first through portion 112 is closer to the inner arc wall than the guide groove 110. The second through portion 113 is connected to the first through portion 112. The second through portion 113 is closer to the inner arc wall than the first through portion 112. The inner diameter of the first through portion 112 is smaller than the inner diameter of the second through portion 113. This design results in a protrusion 115 being formed inside the guide hole 111. The protrusion 115 protrudes from the inner sidewall of the guide hole 111, and the extended end face of the protrusion 115 is the inner sidewall of the first through portion 112. In this embodiment, each end of the cover support member 11 is provided with a guide groove 110 and a guide hole 111. In other embodiments, each end of the cover support member 11 may also be provided with multiple guide grooves 110 and multiple guide holes 111. The number of guide grooves 110 and guide holes 111 can be set according to actual needs. Furthermore, the guide hole 111 is not limited to being an oblong hole, and the guide groove 110 is not limited to being an oblong groove.

[0040] Combination Figure 4As shown, each connector 12 is an arc-shaped segment, comprising an arc-shaped body 121 and two wedge blocks 122 protruding from the inner arc wall of the body 121. The two wedge blocks 122 are respectively disposed at both ends of the body 121. Each wedge block 122 has a second guide slope 124 on its outer side wall, which surrounds the end of the wedge block 122 away from the body 121. The connector 12 also has two fastening holes 123, which are respectively disposed in the two wedge blocks 122. Each fastening hole 123 penetrates the body 121 and the wedge block 122, and is used for fastening the fastener 13. The fastener 13 includes a main body portion 131 and a snap-fit ​​portion 132 connected to each other. The main body portion 131 is generally cylindrical and is used to fasten to the fastening hole 123. The snap-fit ​​portion 132 is used to snap into the protrusion 115 in the guide hole 111.

[0041] When the connector 12 is connected and fixed to the two adjacent cover support members 11 with the two fasteners 13, firstly, align the two wedge blocks 122 of the connector 12 with the corresponding guide grooves 110 of the two adjacent cover support members 11. Then, insert the two fasteners 13 into the corresponding guide holes 111 of the two adjacent cover support members 11. The main body 131 of the fastener 13 passes through the guide hole 111 and the guide groove 110 in sequence and is then fastened in the fastening hole 123 of the wedge block 122 of the connector 12. During the process of fastening the main body 131 of the fastener 13 into the fastening hole 123, the second guide slope 124 of the two wedge blocks 122 of the connector 12 contacts and engages with the first guide slope 114 in the corresponding guide groove 110 of the two adjacent cover support members 11. The first guide slope 114 and the second guide slope 124 engage to guide the two wedge blocks 122 of the connector 12 respectively. The cloth supports 11 enter the corresponding guide grooves 110 of the two adjacent cloth support members 11. During this process, the cloth support member 11 will be slowly pushed outward under the action of the component force on its first guide slope 114. The cloth support member 11 will be pushed outward in the radial direction to gradually approach the connector 12. The protrusion 115 in the guide hole 111 of the cloth support member 11 will slowly approach the snap-fit ​​part 132 of the fastener 13. Finally, when the main body 131 of the fastener 13 is fastened to the fastening hole 123 of the wedge block 122 of the connector 12, the two wedge blocks 122 of the connector 12 are completely accommodated in the corresponding guide grooves 110 of the two adjacent cloth support members 11. This makes the diameter of the ring formed by the cloth support member 11 and the connector 12 larger, and the cloth 20 will be pulled outward in the radial direction and tightened. The snap-fit ​​part 132 of the fastener 13 snaps into the protrusion 115 in the guide hole 111. The present invention does not specifically limit the shape, structure, number and location of the fastening holes 123 of the connector 12. In this embodiment, the fastening holes 123 are threaded holes.

[0042] The radome support structure 10 of the present invention includes multiple separate radome support members 11, which are assembled together by multiple connectors 12 and multiple fasteners 13. This allows for foldable packaging of the radome 20, reducing the packaging volume of the antenna and preventing the radome 20 from being punctured by sharp objects during transportation, thus avoiding unnecessary material damage. Furthermore, the present invention uses a structure where the second guide slope 124 of the wedge block 122 cooperates with the first guide slope 114 in the guide groove 110 to tighten the radome 20, avoiding the use of excessive hooks and significantly reducing the cost of the radome structure, thus achieving a cost advantage.

[0043] Combination Figures 9 to 11 As shown, the cover fabric 20 is a flexible cover fabric, which includes a circular base 21 and fifteen flanges 22 disposed on the outer edge of the base 21. The fifteen flanges 22 are evenly distributed along the outer edge of the base 21, and each flange 22 can be folded inward or outward. The present invention does not limit the shape and number of flanges 22. Each cover fabric support member 11 is also provided with three cover fabric grooves 116, which are distributed circumferentially along the cover fabric support member 11. The cover fabric grooves 116 are elongated grooves, and the specific length is set according to the size of the flanges 22 of the cover fabric 20, which can accommodate the flanges 22 of the cover fabric 20. The present invention does not specifically limit the shape, number, and length of the cover fabric grooves 116. When installing the cover fabric 20, first pass the flanges 22 of the cover fabric 20 through the cover fabric grooves 116 of the cover fabric support member 11, and then use ultrasonic welding or other hot melt processes to fix the flanges 22 of the cover fabric 20 to the base 21. During the process of fixing the flange 22 of the cover 20, a tool (not shown) is required to ensure that the cover support 11 can be fixed on the set diameter, so that the fixed cover 20 can remain taut on that diameter.

[0044] Each cover support 11 is also provided with three mounting holes 117, which are located between two guide holes 111. The mounting holes 117 are used to install the cover support 11 onto the antenna surround (not shown) or the antenna reflector (not shown). The mounting holes 117 can be round holes or oblong holes. Steps can be provided inside the mounting holes 117. The mounting holes can also be threaded holes, etc. The present invention does not impose specific limitations on the shape, structure and number of mounting holes 117.

[0045] The installation process of the radome of this invention is as follows:

[0046] First, the five cover support members 11 are arranged in a ring shape, and the flange 22 of the cover 20 passes through the cover groove 116 of the cover support member 11. The flange 22 of the cover 20 is fixed to the base 21 of the cover 20 by ultrasonic welding or other hot melt process.

[0047] Next, align the two wedge blocks 122 of the connector 12 with the corresponding guide grooves 110 of the two adjacent cover support members 11. Then, pass the main body 131 of the fastener 13 through the guide holes 111 and guide grooves 110 of the cover support member 11 and tighten it into the fastening holes 123 of the wedge blocks 122 of the connector 12. During the tightening process of the main body 131 of the fastener 13 into the fastening holes 123, the first guide slope 114 in the guide groove 110 of the cover support member 11 will contact and engage with the second guide slope 124 of the wedge blocks 122 of the connector 12. The first guide slope 114 and the second guide slope 124 engage to guide the two wedge blocks 122 of the connector 12 into the corresponding positions of the two adjacent cover support members 11. Inside the guide groove 110, during this process, the cover support 11 will slowly expand outward in the radial direction to gradually approach the connector 12. The protrusion 115 in the guide hole 111 of the cover support 11 will slowly approach the snap-fit ​​part 132 of the fastener 13. When the main body 131 of the fastener 13 is fastened to the fastening hole 123, the two wedge blocks 122 of the connector 12 will be completely accommodated in the corresponding guide grooves 110 of the two adjacent cover supports 11. The cover support 11 will be expanded by a certain distance, so that the diameter of the ring formed by the cover support 11 and the connector 12 becomes larger. The cover 20 will be further pulled outward in the radial direction and tightened. At this time, the snap-fit ​​part 132 of the fastener 13 snaps into the protrusion 115 in the guide hole 111.

[0048] Finally, the radome can be installed and fixed to the antenna surround or antenna reflector using the mounting holes 117 of the radome support 11 and the corresponding fasteners.

[0049] Combination Figures 12 to 16 As shown, an antenna radome disclosed in the second embodiment of the present invention includes a radome support structure 10 and a radome 20. The radome 20 is supported and tightened by the radome support structure 10. The radome support structure 10 includes five radome support members 11, five connectors 12, and ten fasteners 13. The radome support members 11 are arc-shaped segments, and the connectors 12 are arc-shaped segments. Adjacent radome support members 11 are connected and fixed to each other by one connector 12 and two fasteners 13, thereby forming a closed ring.

[0050] Each cover support 11 includes two oppositely arranged ends. Each end is provided with a guide groove 110 formed by recessing from the inner arc wall of the cover support 11 towards the outer arc wall. The guide groove 110 is an elongated oval groove. The guide groove 110 is provided with a first guide slope 114 formed by contracting from the inner arc wall of the cover support 11 towards the outer arc wall. Each end is also provided with a guide hole 111 that penetrates the inner arc wall and the outer arc wall of the cover support 11. The guide hole 111 is an elongated oval hole. In this embodiment, the guide hole 111 and the guide groove 110 of each end of the cover support 11 are connected. The guide groove 110 is closer to the inner arc wall than the guide hole 111.

[0051] Each connector 12 includes an arc-shaped body 121 and two wedge blocks 122 protruding from the outer arc wall of the body 121. The two wedge blocks 122 are respectively disposed at both ends of the body 121. Each wedge block 122 has a second guide slope 124 on its outer side wall, which surrounds the end of the wedge block 122 away from the body 121. The connector 12 also has two fastening holes 123, which are respectively disposed in the two wedge blocks 122. Each fastening hole 123 penetrates the body 121 and the wedge block 122, and is used to fasten the fastener 13. The fastener 13 includes a main body portion 131 and a snap-fit ​​portion 132 connected to each other. The main body portion 131 is generally cylindrical and is used to fasten to the fastening hole 123. The snap-fit ​​portion 132 is used to snap into the protrusion 115 in the guide hole 111.

[0052] When the connector 12 is connected and fixed to the two adjacent cover support members 11 with the two fasteners 13, firstly, align the two wedge blocks 122 of the connector 12 with the corresponding guide grooves 110 of the two adjacent cover support members 11. Then, insert the main body 131 of the two fasteners 13 into the corresponding guide holes 111 of the two adjacent cover support members 11. After the main body 131 of the fastener 13 passes through the guide holes 111 and the guide grooves 110 in sequence, it is fastened into the fastening holes 123 of the wedge blocks 122 of the connector 12. During the process of fastening the fasteners 13 into the fastening holes 123, the second guide slopes 124 of the two wedge blocks 122 of the connector 12 contact and cooperate with the first guide slopes 114 in the corresponding guide grooves 110 of the two adjacent cover support members 11. The first guide slopes 114 and the second guide slopes 124 cooperate to guide the two wedge blocks of the connector 12. 122 enters the corresponding guide grooves 110 of the two adjacent cover support members 11 respectively. During this process, the cover support member 11 will be slowly pushed outward under the action of the component force on its first guide inclined surface 114. The cover support member 11 will be slowly pushed outward in the radial direction. The protrusion 115 in the guide hole 111 of the cover support member 11 will slowly approach the snap-fit ​​part 132 of the fastener 13. Finally, when the main body 131 of the fastener 13 is fastened to the fastening hole 123 of the wedge block 122 of the connector 12, the two wedge blocks 122 of the connector 12 are completely accommodated in the corresponding guide grooves 110 of the two adjacent cover support members 11, thereby increasing the diameter of the ring formed by the cover support member 11 and the connector 12. The cover 20 will be pulled outward and tightened in the radial direction. The snap-fit ​​part 132 of the fastener 13 is snapped into the protrusion 115 in the guide hole 111. Other technical features in this embodiment are the same as those in the first embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

[0053] The technical content and features of the present invention have been disclosed above. However, those skilled in the art may still make various substitutions and modifications that do not depart from the spirit of the present invention based on the teachings and disclosures of the present invention.
