It is only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and does not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be understood as a limitation on the present invention.
[0041] In addition, the terms "first", "second", etc., if used, are merely used to distinguish and describe, and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0042] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the features in the embodiments of the present invention may be combined with each other.
[0043] Existing phased array communication terminals mainly exist in the form of single finished products. When integrated with locomotives, they cannot be integrated into an integrated form. The reason is that they are installed above the roof rack with a clamp, which not only occupies the roof rack but also increases the height of the vehicle body, destroying the overall shape of the vehicle body.
[0044] For the reasons above, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 and Figure 2 The structure of a vehicle body and a phased array terminal in an embodiment of the present invention is shown. This embodiment provides a vehicle, which includes a vehicle body 210 and a phased array terminal 100. An opening 211 is provided on the top of the vehicle body 210. The phased array terminal 100 is connected to the opening 211 and closes the opening 211.
[0045] Compared to the prior art method of connecting the phased array terminal 100 above the roof rack, the automobile provided in the embodiment of the present invention connects the phased array terminal 100 to an opening 211 on the top of the vehicle body 210. This method integrates the phased array terminal 100 with the vehicle body 210, simplifies the installation process of the phased array terminal 100, and maintains the overall shape of the vehicle body 210. It should be noted that the opening 211 on the top of the vehicle body 210 can be a skylight on the vehicle body 210, or a new opening 211 can be opened on the top of the vehicle body 210.
[0046] Please refer to Figure 3-Figure 5 , and combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 3-Figure 5 The structure of the phased array terminal in an embodiment of the present invention is shown. In this embodiment, when the phased array terminal 100 is set, the phased array terminal 100 includes a substrate 110, a control module 120, a radome 130, a first antenna array surface 140, and a second antenna array surface 150; wherein the control module 120, the first antenna array surface 140, the second antenna array surface 150, and the radome 130 are all connected to the substrate 110; the first antenna array surface 140 and the second antenna array surface 150 are located at both ends of the substrate 110, and the control module 120 is connected to the first antenna array surface 140 and the second antenna array surface 150. The module 120 is located between the first antenna array surface 140 and the second antenna array surface 150; the radome 130 covers the control module 120, the first antenna array surface 140, and the second antenna array surface 150; the radome 130 is arched, and the first antenna array surface 140 and the second antenna array surface 150 are respectively opposite the arch feet at both ends of the radome 130, and the control module 120 is opposite the arch top of the radome 130; the ends of the substrate 110 adjacent to the arch feet at both ends of the radome 130 are used for connection to the vehicle body 210.
[0047] Since the antenna cover 130 is arched, and both ends of the substrate 110 and the arch feet at both ends of the antenna cover 130 are adjacent to each other and are used to connect to the vehicle body 210, the antenna cover 130 located on the upper part of the substrate 110 can have a curved profile that is adapted to the top of the vehicle body 210, thereby maintaining the overall shape of the vehicle body 210 to the greatest extent.
[0048] Moreover, such an arrangement enables the first antenna array 140 and the second antenna array 150 to be respectively arranged on both sides of the vehicle body 210, while the control module 120 is centrally arranged at a higher position in the middle. This arrangement can not only make the layout reasonable, but also enable the first antenna array 140 and the second antenna array 150 to have corresponding isolation.
[0049] For further information, please refer to Figure 3-Figure 5 , and combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, efficient heat dissipation is crucial to ensure the normal operation of all components of the phased array terminal 100. Existing heat dissipation methods mainly rely on forced air cooling, which can effectively ensure heat dissipation efficiency, but also brings problems with noise, power consumption, waterproofness, and reliability. Therefore, in this embodiment, based on the above structure, in order to further improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the phased array terminal 100, the phased array terminal 100 may further include a heat exchange module 160;
[0050] The heat exchange module 160 is connected to the substrate 110. The heat exchange module 160 is arched and covers the control module 120, the first antenna array surface 140, and the second antenna array surface 150. The first antenna array surface 140 and the second antenna array surface 150 are respectively aligned with the arch feet at both ends of the heat exchange module 160, and the control module 120 is aligned with the arch top of the heat exchange module 160. The heat exchange module 160 is arranged side by side with the radome 130, and one side of the heat exchange module 160 abuts against one side of the radome 130.
[0051] In order to make one side of the heat exchange module 160 abut against one side of the antenna cover 130, when the heat exchange module 160 and the antenna cover 130 are set, their arched profiles are roughly the same, so that the adjacent sides of the heat exchange module 160 and the antenna cover 130 can abut against each other.
[0052] Therefore, through such a configuration, first, the heat on the substrate 110 can be transferred to the heat exchange module 160. Since the heat exchange module 160 is arranged in an arched shape, the heat exchange area between the heat exchange module 160 and the external environment can be increased through such a configuration, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the phased array terminal 100.
[0053] In addition, since the heat exchange module 160 is arranged in an arched manner, and the first antenna array surface 140 and the second antenna array surface 150 are respectively opposite to the arch feet at both ends of the heat exchange module 160, and the control module 120 is opposite to the arch top of the heat exchange module 160; and from the above content, it can be seen that the first antenna array surface 140 and the second antenna array surface 150 are respectively opposite to the arch feet at both ends of the antenna cover 130, and the control module 120 is opposite to the arch top of the antenna cover 130; therefore, it can be seen that the heat exchange module 160 and the antenna cover 130 is arranged in the same direction, and since the heat exchange module 160 and the antenna cover 130 are arranged side by side, and one side of the heat exchange module 160 is in contact with one side of the antenna cover 130, the heat exchange module 160 and the antenna cover 130 can be tightly matched in this way, so that the antenna cover 130 located on the upper part of the substrate 110 can have a curved profile that is adapted to the top of the vehicle body 210, thereby maintaining the overall shape of the vehicle body 210 to the greatest extent.
[0054] In the prior art, during the installation process, control and power cables need to be led out of the vehicle body 210, which requires making additional holes in the vehicle body 210. If the holes are not properly waterproofed, water leakage may occur inside the vehicle body 210, posing a safety hazard. In addition, the cables exposed outside the vehicle body 210 may age due to long-term exposure to sunlight and rain.
[0055] For the reasons above, please refer to Figure 1-Figure 5 In this embodiment, the vehicle body 210 includes a vehicle frame 212, a roof panel 213, and a roof interior panel 214; the roof panel 213 and the roof interior panel 214 are both connected to the top of the vehicle frame 212; and when providing the opening 211, the roof panel 213 can be partially cut off along the length direction of the vehicle body 210 to form the opening 211; the roof interior panel 214 is located below the opening 211; the base plate 110 is connected to the vehicle frame 212, and the bottom of the base plate 110 is in contact with the roof interior panel 214;
[0056] Moreover, when the phased array terminal 100 is installed on the vehicle body 210, the sides of the antenna cover 130 and the heat exchange module 160 facing away from each other can be respectively abutted against the disconnected ends of the roof skin 213 at the opening 211 to close the opening 211 and make the top profile of the vehicle body 210 a continuous arch.
[0057] Therefore, the present invention integrates the phased array terminal 100 with the vehicle body 210 to maximize the overall shape of the vehicle body 210 while taking into account the light and thin characteristics of the phased array terminal 100. The entire terminal is embedded between the top of the vehicle body 210 and the roof interior panel 214, eliminating the internal space of the vehicle body 210 and achieving a perfect integration of the phased array terminal 100 and the locomotive. Moreover, because the phased array terminal 100 is completely inside the locomotive, all cables can be laid out and installed through the roof interior panel 214 without excessive openings in the vehicle body 210, thereby eliminating external exposed cables. This improves the waterproof performance of the phased array terminal 100.
[0058] In addition, since the heat exchange module 160 and the antenna cover 130 are arranged side by side, and one side of the heat exchange module 160 is in contact with one side of the antenna cover 130, water leakage caused by a gap between the heat exchange module 160 and the antenna cover 130 can be avoided.
[0059] For further information, please refer to Figure 1-Figure 5 In this embodiment, to prevent rainwater from accumulating on the radome 130 and improve the sealing between the phased array terminal 100 and the vehicle body 210, thereby preventing water leakage at the opening 211, both ends of the radome 130 and the heat exchange module 160 are connected to the vehicle frame 212. Sealing structures are provided at the connections between the radome 130 and the heat exchange module 160, and both ends of the radome 130 and the heat exchange module 160 are located above the drainage grooves on the top of the vehicle body 210. Furthermore, the radome 130 is made of a honeycomb panel, and the surfaces of the radome 130 and the heat exchange cover 161 facing away from the substrate 110 are coated with a hydrophobic coating.
[0060] Therefore, this arrangement allows rainwater to flow smoothly to the drainage grooves on both sides of the top of the vehicle body 210. However, in order to make the antenna cover 130 fit the original structural shape of the roof, the arched antenna cover 130 has a small inclination angle, which cannot ensure that all rainwater flows away smoothly. At the same time, the arched antenna cover 130 will also cause a large performance loss. In order to take into account and solve the above problems, the material selection of the antenna cover 130 is a honeycomb panel of a composite material with low loss, good strength and light weight, and the surface protective material is low-loss paint. The surface is sprayed with a low-loss hydrophobic coating. This solution can solve the problem of water accumulation and index decline caused by the antenna cover 130.
[0061] Based on the above, please refer to Figure 1-Figure 5In this embodiment, since the vehicle frame 212 and roof skin 213 are both made of metal, which has excellent thermal conductivity and heat exchange surface, high-performance interface materials are provided on the contact surfaces between the substrate 110 and the heat exchange module 160 and the vehicle frame 212 and roof skin 213, respectively, to effectively transfer some heat to the vehicle body 210 for dissipation. Furthermore, to improve the heat dissipation performance of the phased array terminal 100, the thermal conductivity of the substrate 110 can be enhanced. Specifically, the substrate 110 can include a heat spreader made of a thermally conductive material or a plurality of heat pipes.
[0062] In the embodiment where the substrate 110 is formed of a heat absorbing plate made of a heat-conducting material, heat generated by the control module 120, the first antenna array surface 140, and the second antenna array surface 150 connected to the substrate 110 can be quickly transferred to the heat absorbing plate and evenly distributed on the heat absorbing plate, thereby preventing localized overheating that could cause malfunction of the phased array terminal 100. Furthermore, since the substrate 110 is connected to the vehicle body 210, heat can be transferred to the vehicle body 210, thereby improving heat dissipation efficiency and preventing the phased array terminal 100 from overheating. Furthermore, thermal conductivity is ensured while also ensuring mounting strength.
[0063] When the substrate 110 is provided with a plurality of heat pipes, the plurality of heat pipes extend from the first antenna array surface 140 to the second antenna array surface 150 , and each heat pipe is connected to the first antenna array surface 140 , the control module 120 , and the second antenna array surface 150 . The functions and principles thereof are the same as those described above and will not be further described here.
[0064] It should be noted that, in other embodiments of the present invention, the above-mentioned temperature averaging plate may be combined with a plurality of heat pipes.
[0065] Furthermore, in this embodiment, since the first antenna array surface 140, the second antenna array surface 150 and the control module 120 are heat sources, heat dissipation treatment needs to be done well; in order to ensure that heat can be more effectively exchanged with the outside world, the internal heat conduction path needs to be optimized; specifically, in order to improve the heat dissipation performance of the phased array terminal 100, the thermal conductivity of the connection between the first antenna array surface 140, the control module 120, the second antenna array surface 150 and the heat exchange module 160 and the substrate 110 can also be improved. Specifically, the first The connections between the linear array surface 140, the control module 120, the second antenna array surface 150, and the heat exchange module 160 and the substrate 110 are all provided with heat-conducting structures and interface materials with high thermal conductivity. This arrangement is intended to improve the efficiency of heat conduction from the first antenna array surface 140, the control module 120, and the second antenna array surface 150 to the substrate 110, as well as the efficiency of heat conduction from the substrate 110 to the heat exchange module 160, and to reduce the thermal resistance of heat transfer, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the phased array terminal 100.
[0066] Specifically, when setting up the heat-conducting structure, the heat-conducting structure can be a boss set on the substrate 110. Its purpose is to increase the contact area with the base through such a setting method, thereby increasing the area of heat exchange, so that the substrate 110 can quickly reach a constant temperature; it can also be a heat-conducting pad or heat-conducting layer set at the connection, so as to improve the efficiency of heat conduction through the setting of the heat-conducting pad or heat-conducting layer.
[0067] For further information, please refer to Figures 1-6 , Figure 6 The structure of the heat exchange module in an embodiment of the present invention is shown. In this embodiment, in order to improve the heat dissipation performance of the phased array terminal 100, the thermal conductivity between the heat exchange module 160 and the substrate 110 can also be improved. Specifically, when the heat exchange module 160 is provided, the heat exchange module 160 can also include a heat exchange cover 161 and a plurality of heat conductive members 162; wherein the heat exchange cover 161 is connected to the substrate 110; the plurality of heat conductive members 162 are all connected to the heat exchange cover 161, and the plurality of heat conductive members 162 are all in contact with the substrate 110.
[0068] Thus, through this approach, the heat transfer area between the substrate 110 and the heat exchange module 160 can be increased through the multiple heat conducting members 162, thereby improving the efficiency of heat conduction, thereby accelerating the transfer of heat from the substrate 110 to the heat exchange module 160, and thus improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the phased array terminal 100. Furthermore, this arrangement can be combined with the use of a heat conducting structure on the substrate 110 and a high-thermal-conductivity interface material to further improve the heat transfer efficiency between the substrate 110 and the heat exchange module 160, and ensure a lower thermal resistance between the two.
[0069] For further information, please refer to Figures 1-6In this embodiment, to improve the heat dissipation performance of the phased array terminal 100, the substrate 110 and heat exchange cover 161 can also be protected and heat dissipation efficiency increased. Therefore, the exposed surfaces of the heat exchange cover 161 and the substrate 110 are provided with a heat exchange protective coating, which can be formed from a material with both thermal conductivity and protective properties. Specifically, the substrate 110 and the heat exchange cover 161 are designed with sufficient heat exchange area to ensure external heat exchange. At the same time, the exposed surfaces of the substrate 110 and the heat exchange cover 161 (i.e., the non-mounting surface) are also sprayed with a high-emissivity and low-absorptivity material. This ensures protection while also increasing the efficiency of radiative heat exchange.
[0070] In summary, please refer to Figures 1-6 The phased array terminal 100 and the automobile provided by the present invention have the following advantages:
[0071] 1. The phased array terminal 100 is completely conformal to the vehicle body 210 and embedded in the top of the vehicle body 210 , which can simplify the installation steps of the phased array terminal 100 and maintain the overall shape of the vehicle body 210 to the greatest extent.
[0072] 2. Reliable waterproofing and built-in cable layout ensure the reliability of the phased array terminal 100;
[0073] 3. Efficient and stable natural and radiative heat dissipation completely eliminates noise while greatly improving the reliability of the phased array terminal 100;
[0074] 4. The low-loss coating and the hydrophobic coating are combined with the arched radome 130 to solve the problem of water accumulation while also reducing the loss caused by the radome 130.
[0075] The above are merely specific embodiments of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
