For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0042] In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In addition, the meaning of "multiple" and "several" is two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0043] See also Figures 1 to 6 Now, the communication device provided by the embodiment of the present invention is described. The communication device comprises a base frame 100, an antenna 200, a gravity center adjustment ball 300, an antenna driving mechanism 400 and an adjustment ball driving mechanism 500.

[0044] There are several antennas 200, which are mounted on the base frame 100. There is at least one gravity adjustment ball 300, which is mounted on the base frame 100. The height of the gravity adjustment ball 300 on the base frame 100 is adjustable, thereby adjusting the center of gravity of the entire device.

[0045] The antenna driving mechanism 400 is installed on the base frame 100, and the power output end of the antenna driving mechanism 400 is connected to each antenna 200 to drive each antenna 200 to gather together or separate from each other. Gathering together means that each antenna 200 is close to each other, and separating from each other means that each antenna 200 is separated from each other. The adjusting ball driving mechanism 500 is installed on the base frame 100, and the power output end of the adjusting ball driving mechanism 500 is connected to the center of gravity adjusting ball 300 to drive the center of gravity adjusting ball 300 to move upward or downward.

[0046] In this way, when the antenna 200 needs to be adjusted, the operator can control the antenna driving mechanism 400 to make the antenna 200 gather together or separate from each other. Correspondingly, when the antenna 200 is separated from each other, it is necessary to adjust the overall center of gravity of the device to deal with it. At this time, the operator can control the adjustment ball driving mechanism 500 to drive the center of gravity adjustment ball 300 to move down, so that the overall center of gravity of the device moves down, and the entire device is more stable; when the antenna 200 is gathered together, the operator can control the adjustment ball driving mechanism 500 to drive the center of gravity adjustment ball 300 to move up, so that the overall center of gravity of the device moves up.

[0047] Compared with the prior art, the communication device provided in the embodiment of the present invention, by adding an antenna driving mechanism and an adjustment ball driving mechanism, respectively drives the antennas to converge or disperse with each other and drives the center of gravity adjustment ball to move upward or downward, thereby achieving adjustment of the antenna and the center of gravity position of the entire device.

[0048] In some embodiments, see Figures 1 to 6 The power output end of the antenna driving mechanism 400 is also connected to the power input end of the adjusting ball driving mechanism 500. In this way, when the operator operates the antenna driving mechanism 400 to drive the antenna to move, the antenna driving mechanism 400 also drives the adjusting ball driving mechanism 500 to move, thereby driving the center of gravity adjustment ball 300 to move up or down on the base frame 100, so that the antenna 200 and the center of gravity adjustment ball 300 are linked (act at the same time), thereby avoiding the operator from having to drive the antenna driving mechanism 400 and the adjusting ball driving mechanism 500 separately when adjusting the antenna 200 and the center of gravity adjustment ball 300.

[0049] In some embodiments, see Figures 1 to 4As a specific implementation of the antenna driving mechanism 400, the antenna driving mechanism 400 includes a rotating member 410 rotatably set on the base frame 100, a plurality of plug posts 420 ring-arranged on the rotating member 410, and a plurality of rotating rods 430 rotatably set on the base frame 100.

[0050] Each rotating rod 430 corresponds to each antenna 200, and the antenna 200 (the lower part) is connected to the corresponding rotating rod 430. The rotating rod 430 is arranged roughly parallel to the ground, and is provided with a sliding hole 431 (or equivalent to a sliding groove). Each plug post 420 corresponds to each rotating rod 430, and the plug post 420 is fixed on the rotating member 410 and slidably arranged in the sliding hole 431 in the corresponding rotating rod 430. The sliding hole 431 can be a long hole, a long groove, or an arc hole, an arc groove, etc.

[0051] Thus, as the rotating member 410 rotates, the rotating member 410 drives the plugs 420 to rotate, and the plugs 420 will slide in the corresponding sliding holes 431, and the plugs 420 (acting on the hole wall of the sliding hole 431) will drive the corresponding rotating rod 430 to rotate. Since the positions of the antenna 200, the rotating member 410 and the plugs 420 have been designed during installation, when the rotating member 410 rotates forward, it can drive the antennas 200 to gather together, and when the rotating member 410 rotates reversely, it can drive the antennas 200 to disperse from each other.

[0052] The above structure can realize the mutual gathering or separation of the antennas 200 by only rotating the rotating member 410 forward or reversely. The structure is ingenious and easy to implement.

[0053] In some implementations, see Figures 2 to 5 The antenna driving mechanism 400 further includes a rotating shaft 440 connected to the rotating member 410, a bevel gear 450 connected to the rotating shaft 440, and a turntable 460 rotatably arranged on the base frame 100, wherein the rotation axis of the turntable 460 is parallel to the horizontal plane, and a bevel gear part meshing with the bevel gear 450 is arranged on the turntable 460. The axis of the rotating shaft 460 is perpendicular to the horizontal plane, and through the rotation of the turntable 440, the power can be transmitted to the rotating member 410 by means of the meshing transmission of the bevel gear 450 and the bevel gear part.

[0054] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 The communication device provided in this embodiment further includes a support seat 600 connected to the base frame 100, the support seat 600 has an upper hemispherical surface, and each center of gravity adjustment ball 300 is slidably arranged on the upper hemispherical surface. The upper hemispherical surface means only the upper half of the sphere.

[0055] Each center of gravity adjustment ball 300 is arranged in a circle on the upper hemispherical surface, and each antenna 200 is also arranged in a circle. The setting of the spherical surface can provide guidance for the up and down movement of each center of gravity adjustment ball 300 on the one hand, and can also make each center of gravity adjustment ball 300 move closer to each other and separate from each other when moving up and down on the other hand. For example, when each antenna 200 separates from each other, each center of gravity adjustment ball 300 moves downward on the upper hemispherical surface, and each center of gravity adjustment ball 300 also shows a trend of separating from each other; when each antenna 200 approaches each other, each center of gravity adjustment ball 300 moves upward on the upper hemispherical surface, and each center of gravity adjustment ball 300 also shows a trend of gathering together. Because the antenna 200 and the center of gravity adjustment ball 300 must have a height difference in setting, when each antenna 200 separates, each center of gravity adjustment ball 300 also separates from each other, so as to avoid the situation that when the upper antenna 200 separates, each center of gravity adjustment ball 300 (mass) of the lower part is concentrated, which easily leads to "top-heavy" and is easily blown down by the wind.

[0056] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As a specific implementation method of the adjusting ball driving mechanism 500, the adjusting ball driving mechanism 500 includes an eccentric rod 510 and a plurality of rocker rods 520. One end of the eccentric rod 510 is hinged on the turntable 460, and the hinge between the eccentric rod 510 and the turntable 460 is at an eccentric position on the turntable 460, that is, the hinge position between the eccentric rod 510 and the turntable 460 is not at the rotation center of the turntable 460.

[0057] Each swing rod 520 corresponds to each center-of-gravity adjustment ball 300 one by one. One end of each swing rod 520 is hinged to the eccentric pull rod 510 , and the other end of each swing rod 520 is connected to the corresponding center-of-gravity adjustment ball 300 .

[0058] In this way, as the turntable 460 rotates, the turntable 460 not only drives the antenna 200 to move, but also drives the eccentric pull rod 510 to make each center of gravity adjustment ball 300 move up and down accordingly.

[0059] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 The base frame 100 includes a bottom plate 110 and a mounting frame 120 fixed on the bottom plate 110. The mounting frame 120 is located at the upper part of the bottom plate 110, the support seat 600 is fixed on the bottom plate 110 and located at the lower side of the mounting frame 120, and the antenna driving mechanism 400 is installed on the mounting frame 120 (specifically, the rotating disk 460 is rotatably arranged on the mounting frame 120) and is located at the upper side of the mounting frame 120.

[0060] The mounting frame 120 is provided with a guide through hole arranged in the vertical direction, and the adjusting ball driving mechanism 500 also includes a connecting rod 530 slidably arranged in the guide through hole, the upper end of the connecting rod 530 is hinged to the lower end of the eccentric pull rod 510, and each rocker rod 520 is ringed on the lower end of the connecting rod 530, and one end of each rocker rod 520 is actually directly hinged to the lower end of the connecting rod 530.

[0061] Optionally, the axis of the guide through hole is arranged along the vertical direction, so that the connecting rod 530 also moves along the vertical direction.

[0062] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 A vertical plate 130 is disposed on the mounting frame 120 , and a turntable 460 is rotatably disposed on the vertical plate 130 .

[0063] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 The base frame 100 further includes an upper ring 140 and a lower ring 150. The upper ring 140 and the lower ring 150 are arranged at intervals in the vertical direction. The upper ring 140 is on the upper side of the lower ring 150. The upper ring 140 and the lower ring 150 can be connected by a spacer column. The lower ring 150 is on the upper part of the turntable 460. The lower ring 150 is connected to the installation frame 120 through a support pole 160. The upper ring 140 and the lower ring 150 are both circular ring structures and have a center hole. The rotating member 410 is also a circular ring structure and is rotatably arranged inside the upper ring 140 (of course, some blocking bodies can be arranged on the upper ring 140 to prevent the rotating member 410 from falling off). The circular ring structure of the rotating member 410 is provided with a plurality of spoke rods. One end of each spoke rod is connected to each other, and the other end is connected to the circular ring structure of the rotating member 410. The rotating shaft 440 is connected to the spoke rod and passes through the center hole of the lower ring 150 to engage with the turntable 460.

[0064] The plug post 420 is fixed on the lower side of the rotating member 410, and the rotating rod 430 is set between the upper ring 140 and the lower ring 150. A fixed shaft is set at the lower part of the upper ring 140, and one end of the rotating rod 430 is rotatably set on the corresponding fixed shaft (of course, some blocking bodies are set on the fixed shaft to prevent the rotating rod 430 from falling off the fixed shaft). The lower part of the antenna 200 passes through the interval between the spoke rods and is fixedly connected to the corresponding rotating rod 430.

[0065] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 The communication device provided in this embodiment further includes a rotating handle 700 rotatably arranged on the vertical plate 130, and the rotating handle 700 is connected to the rotating disk 460. The operator rotates the rotating handle 700 to realize the rotation of the rotating disk 460.

[0066] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 The communication device provided in this embodiment further includes a top screw 800. The rotating disk 460 is spaced apart from the vertical plate 130. The vertical plate 130 is provided with a threaded through hole. The top screw 800 is threadedly connected in the threaded through hole. The top screw 800 can press against the rotating disk 460 after passing through the threaded through hole, thereby locking the rotating disk 460. In this way, the rotating disk 460 can only move when the top screw 800 is loosened. After the top screw 800 presses against the rotating disk 460, the rotating disk 460 is locked.

[0067] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention.
