Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of radar assembly technology, and more specifically to a large antenna attitude conversion device with multi-angle adjustment. Background Technology

[0002] For large antenna arrays, the entire array is deployed at a certain angle, and the angles of different arrays are different. Each array is composed of thousands of antenna subarrays stacked together. It is not feasible to transport and erect the entire array as a whole. The current practice is that ground personnel assemble and debug each antenna subarray and then ship it to the equipment deployment site for erection.

[0003] To ensure the stability of the subarrays during long-distance transportation, transport fixtures are used to ensure that the subarrays are placed vertically on the vehicle. After the antenna subarrays are transported to the destination lifting area and their integrity is checked, they are lifted to a height of tens of meters by a vertical lifting device. Then, the ropes around the subarrays are controlled to ensure that the antenna subarrays are assembled at a specific angle.

[0004] After the antenna subarray is lifted close to the large antenna array, for antenna arrays at different angles, it is necessary to manually pull ropes to ensure that the antenna subarray is adjusted to a specific angle before it can be assembled. High-altitude operations have a high risk factor and can easily cause injury or death to personnel.

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned defects, the inventors of this invention have finally obtained this invention after a long period of research and practice. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0025] The above-mentioned and other technical features and advantages of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, Figure 1 This is a structural view of the large antenna attitude conversion device with multi-angle adjustment; Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the lifting of the antenna subarray.

[0028] The large antenna attitude conversion device with multi-angle adjustment according to the present invention includes an attitude conversion frame 1 and a hoisting device 2. The antenna subarray 3 is placed on the attitude conversion frame 1. The hoisting device 2 is connected to the antenna subarray 3. The tilt angle of the antenna subarray 3 is adjusted by the attitude conversion frame 1, and the hoisting device 2 is vertically lifted by the hoisting rope 4 to ensure that the line connecting the hoisting point and the center of gravity is perpendicular to the ground. This ensures that the antenna subarray 3 is lifted at a specific angle during hoisting, thus ensuring that the antenna subarray 3 is assembled at a specific angle.

[0029] This invention eliminates the need for ropes to be used for attitude conversion at high altitudes. The original vertical lifting device could only install 4 units per day, while this solution can install 16 units per day. For large antenna arrays containing thousands of subarrays, this greatly shortens the project cycle and saves more than 4 million yuan in installation costs.

[0030] This invention eliminates the need for manual rope pulling to control the attitude change of the antenna subarray 3, greatly reducing the risks of personnel working at heights. It allows for adjustment of different angle ranges for different array surfaces, and since specific angles are already fixed on the ground, it can be directly installed on the large antenna array surface. The installation angle accuracy is high, reducing assembly errors and featuring high consistency and good safety.

[0031] Example 2

[0032] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, Figure 3 This is a structural view of the attitude conversion frame; Figure 4 This is a structural view of the adjustment component.

The support frame 12 and the adjustment frame 13 are connected via an adjustment assembly 14. The antenna subarray 3 is placed on the support frame 12. The connection state between the support frame 12 and the adjustment frame 13 is adjusted by the adjustment assembly 14, thereby adjusting the tilt angle of the support frame 12 and ensuring the placement angle of the antenna subarray 3 on the support frame 12.

[0034] The adjustment frame 13 includes two adjustment rods and a reinforcing rod.

[0035] The support frame 12 includes two parallel support rods. The bottom end of the support rods is connected to the base plate 11 through the rotating seat. A limiting plate 15 is provided on the upper surface of the support rod. The limiting plates 15 on the two support rods are arranged one-to-one and symmetrically. The distance between the two corresponding limiting plates 15 is the same as the width of the antenna subarray 3.

At the same time, the limiting plates 15 can be used to fix and limit the antenna subarray 3.

[0036] Preferably, the upper end face of the support rod is provided with a plurality of pads 16, and the plurality of pads 16 are equidistantly arranged along the extension direction of the support rod.

[0040] The limiting pad 17 is made of hard rubber. Generally, the inner wall of the limiting plate 15 is provided with a hard rubber pad with a large coefficient of friction. The limiting plate 15 contacts the antenna subarray 3 through the hard rubber pad, which serves two purposes: first, to protect the antenna subarray 3, and second, to prevent the antenna subarray 3 from slipping during the process of lifting the antenna subarray 3 onto the attitude conversion frame 1.

[0041] The adjustment assembly 14 includes an adjustment seat 141, an adjustment plate 142, and an adjustment fixing pin 143. The adjustment seat 141 is fixedly mounted on the top of the adjustment rod, and the adjustment plate 142 is fixedly mounted on the support rod.

The fixed frame 21 is connected to the antenna subarray 3 through the connecting rod 22, and the fixed frame 21 is connected to the lifting rope 4 through the lifting plate 23.

[0048] Both ends of the connecting rod 22 are provided with threaded sections, and two fixing nuts are threadedly connected to each threaded section. The fixing frame 21 or the antenna subarray 3 is disposed between the two fixing nuts on the same threaded section, thereby realizing the fixed connection between the connecting rod 22 and the fixing frame 21 or the antenna subarray 3. The fixing frame 21 or the antenna subarray 3 can be fixed by setting the two fixing nuts.

[0049] The lifting plate 23 is provided with a plurality of lifting holes 231 arranged in a straight line. Lifting blocks 232 are provided in the lifting holes 231, and the lifting blocks 232 are fixedly connected to the end of the lifting rope 4.
