[0002] With the development of the times, various ships, especially large ships, need to deploy various antennas to receive and transmit signals, and the antennas are generally arranged on the superstructure of the ships. Among them, there are types of antennas such as whip antennas and semi-circular antennas. For some small ships, due to limited working environments, their antennas need to be in a foldable form. At this time, if the antennas are arranged densely, the active areas of multiple foldable antennas will overlap. In most cases, various antennas on the ship are independently controlled by their respective corresponding control devices, and the overlap of the active areas of each antenna easily causes the antennas to collide, thereby causing equipment damage. Especially in actual use, due to reasons such as abnormal position states of the antennas, if the antennas do not stand up and fold down in the specified order, antenna collisions may occur.

[0036] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Components of the embodiments of the present invention generally described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings here can be arranged and designed in a variety of different configurations.

[0037] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed present invention, but merely represents selected embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0038] It should be noted that like reference numerals and letters denote like items in the following drawings. Therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not require further definition and explanation in subsequent drawings.

[0039] In the description of the present invention, it should also be noted that unless otherwise clearly defined and limited, the term "arrangement" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed arrangement, a detachable arrangement, or an integral arrangement; it can be a mechanical arrangement or an electrical arrangement; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0040] It should be understood that the embodiments of the present invention and the specific features in the embodiments are detailed descriptions of the technical solutions of this application, rather than limitations on the technical solutions of this application. Without conflict, the technical features in the embodiments of this application and the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0041] The embodiments of this application provide a new foldable antenna linkage control method, system, device, and medium, which improve the technical problem in the prior art that the state of the foldable antenna cannot be monitored, resulting in antenna collisions, and achieve the technical effect of monitoring the antenna in real time and avoiding antenna collisions with overlapping active areas.

[0042] The overall idea of the technical solution of the embodiments of this application to solve the above technical problems is as follows:

[0043] Use a position status sensor to monitor the status of multiple antennas in real time, so as to obtain the real-time status of the antennas, and then control the folding or erection of the antennas according to the real-time status; realize the position status monitoring and linkage control of multiple different antennas, ensure that the foldable antennas are folded or erected in the correct order, so as to avoid the collision of antennas with overlapping active areas, and at the same time use the position status sensor to analyze whether the folding or erection of the antennas is abnormal, and remind the operator to troubleshoot through an alarm prompt.

[0044] In the embodiment of the present application, there is provided a method for controlling the linkage of foldable antennas as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The method includes steps S101 to S103:

[0045] Step S101, use a position status sensor to monitor the status of multiple antennas in real time;

[0046] It should be noted that there are many ways to detect the status of antennas. The setting of the position status sensor is designed to detect whether the foldable antenna moves to a preset position when folding. For example, a capacitive proximity switch is used, and its setting position is at the position where the foldable antenna folds. When the antenna approaches this position, the capacitive proximity switch is triggered to send a corresponding signal, so as to obtain the antenna status. A travel switch can also be used. For example, a push button switch is set. When the antenna touches the push button switch, a corresponding signal is triggered. It should be noted that the sensors in this embodiment include but are not limited to the types described above. The detection of the antenna position status is within the protection of the present invention.

[0047] Step S102, set a switch corresponding to each of the above antennas to independently control the folding or erection of the above antennas;

[0048] It should be noted that as shown in Figure 2 A switch is set for each of the multiple antennas respectively. The purpose is that when only a single antenna is needed, its folding or erection can be independently controlled, which is convenient for the operator to operate the antenna alone.

[0049] Step S103, when the active area of any one of the above antennas overlaps with other above antennas, control the above antennas to fold or erect in sequence according to the status data obtained by the above monitoring.

[0050] It should be noted that when multiple antennas are densely arranged, once an operation is required, collisions are likely to occur. Therefore, it is necessary to perform a linkage operation on multiple antennas, as shown in Figure 2The control device shown, taking the case where the active areas of antenna A and antenna B overlap as an example, after the linkage control device of the folding antenna is powered on, it judges the position state of the antenna based on the position state sensor. If the position state shows "normal" (that is, the state detected by the position state sensor is the same as the preset state), the folding antenna linkage device can be operated to control antenna A and antenna B to complete the folding or erecting actions in a certain order. For example, "antenna B can only be erected after antenna A is erected, and antenna A can only be folded after antenna B is folded". It realizes the position state monitoring and linkage control of multiple different antennas, ensuring that the foldable antenna is folded or erected in the correct order, thus avoiding the collision of antennas with overlapping active areas.

[0051] Furthermore, the above method further includes:

[0052] Compare the state data obtained from the above monitoring with the preset position state data to analyze whether the position state of the antenna is normal. If it is not normal, an alarm is issued; otherwise, no alarm is made.

[0053] It should be noted that the preset position refers to the position corresponding to the antenna state and the control switch pointer under the normal state marked on the controller. Therefore, when comparing the state data obtained from the monitoring with the preset position state data, in case of an abnormality, it can be alarmed by lights or by voice, etc.

[0054] Furthermore, the above step of issuing an alarm further includes:

[0055] The control switch cuts off the power supply of the above antenna and prompts the staff with fault information.

[0056] It should be noted that since an abnormality indicates that the antenna is likely to have a mechanical failure resulting in the antenna being stuck, in order to avoid further damage to the antenna during folding, a switch is set to cut off the power supply of the antenna. And the prompt of fault information can be a light reminder or a voice broadcast, etc., or it can be to send a prompt message to the operator remotely through a wireless communication device, so that the management personnel can obtain the antenna information remotely.

[0057] Furthermore, the above method further includes:

[0058] Set a push-button switch for controlling the power supply of the antenna to control any one of the above antennas to stop urgently.

[0059] It should be noted that during the movement of the antenna, in case of an unexpected situation, the "emergency stop" can be used to stop the movement of the antenna urgently, that is, set a push-button switch for controlling the power supply of the antenna, so as to protect the safety of equipment and personnel and prevent equipment damage and personal injury.

[0060] Further, the step of controlling the antennas to fold down or stand up in sequence according to the preset order further includes: obtaining the number of antennas when any of the antenna active areas overlaps with other antennas; determining the control priority from high to low according to the above number; and controlling the multiple antennas to fold down or stand up in sequence according to the order of the above priority.

[0061] It should be noted that when determining the order, in order to perform antenna operations more efficiently and quickly, the antenna that affects more other antennas is controlled first, so as to leave space for other overlapping antennas, so that the foldable antennas can be controlled to fold down or stand up faster and more efficiently. Therefore, the priority is determined from high to low according to the number, which improves the efficiency.

[0062] Further, the step of controlling the multiple antennas to fold down or stand up in sequence according to the order of the above priority further includes:

[0063] When there are multiple antennas with the same priority, if the multiple antennas are not adjacent, they are controlled to fold down or stand up simultaneously; if there are multiple adjacent antennas, they are controlled to fold down or stand up in the preset order.

[0064] It should be noted that for the case of the same priority, adjacent antennas may still collide. Therefore, an order is set for them, and they can be directly controlled according to the antenna numbers. Non-adjacent antennas will not collide, so they can be controlled to fold down or stand up simultaneously, further improving the control efficiency.
