Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of antenna technology, and in particular to a base station antenna bracket and a base station antenna. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of mobile communication technology, it is necessary to integrate multiple frequencies and multiple ports at the base station antenna end to improve network capacity.

[0003] Currently, the most common solution for base station antenna mounting brackets is to use thick steel plates, employ heavy-duty stamping equipment, and multiple sets of specialized stamping dies for forming. After bending, hot-dip galvanizing is performed to form a protective surface layer. The main components form the upper and lower corner arms with a U-shaped cross-section, and aluminum tubes are inserted at the joints to support and secure the locking points against deformation. This solution is costly and has a complex manufacturing process. The stamping and bending processes cause material damage and thickness variations, and the surface also develops zinc nodules or burrs due to the hot-dip galvanizing process. The back of the antenna radome is a critical area exposed to rain and ultraviolet radiation. Under long-term exposure to harsh outdoor conditions, bolts may loosen, materials may age, and the upper and lower corner arms may loosen at the connection points due to the antenna's own weight and wind forces, leading to changes in the antenna's downtilt angle, functional failure, and in severe cases, even an antenna falling.

[0004] During packaging, the mounting bracket is packed separately in a box and placed at one end of the antenna packaging box. The top and bottom ends of the antenna are made into buffers with EPE or EPS foam or cardboard to prevent damage to the antenna from drops and impacts during transportation. However, due to the increased weight of multi-band high-gain antennas, this packaging method results in a longer packaging size. On the one hand, it leads to high logistics costs, inconvenient transportation, and significant material waste. It also fails to meet environmental protection requirements and does not provide good protection. Once the outer cardboard box changes due to changes in moisture-proof and humidity-proof conditions during transportation and storage, the packaging strength drops sharply, making it impossible to deliver the product normally.

[0005] During installation, the mounting bracket needs to be removed from its individual packaging and bolted to the antenna body. The antenna body is then hoisted onto the tower or rooftop mounting pole and secured with bolts. The process is cumbersome and inconvenient, requiring the use of binding ropes for assistance, which poses safety hazards. Installation becomes even more difficult when the length of the antenna mounting pole is limited. Summary of the Invention

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0029] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 4 This invention describes the base station antenna bracket and base station antenna provided by the present invention.

[0030] The present invention provides a base station antenna bracket, including an upper bracket assembly 100. The upper bracket assembly 100 includes a first mounting plate 110, a rotating plate 120, and a first clamp 130. One end of the rotating plate 120 is rotatably connected to the first mounting plate 110, and the other end of the rotating plate 120 is rotatably connected to the first clamp. The first mounting plate 110 is used to connect to the top of the antenna body 300, the first clamp 130 is used to fix the top of the mounting rod 400, and the rotating plate 120 is used to adjust the angle between the antenna body 300 and the mounting rod 400.

[0031] Based on the application requirements of multi-frequency multi-port base station antennas, this invention provides a base station antenna bracket, including an upper bracket assembly 100. One end of the upper bracket assembly 100 is used to connect to the top of the antenna body 300, and the other end of the upper bracket assembly 100 is used to connect to the top of the mast 400, so that the antenna body 300 and the mast 400 are connected, and the positional relationship between the antenna body 300 and the mast 400 can be adjusted through the upper bracket assembly 100.

[0032] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The upper support assembly 100 includes a first mounting plate 110, a rotating plate 120, and a first clamp 130. The first mounting plate 110 is mounted on the outer wall of the top of the antenna body 300, the first clamp 130 is used to fix the top of the mast 400, and the rotating plate 120 is disposed between the first mounting plate 110 and the first clamp 130 to adjust the positional relationship between the antenna body 300 and the mast 400.

[0033] Specifically, one end of the rotating plate 120 is rotatably connected to the first mounting plate 110, and the other end of the rotating plate 120 is rotatably connected to the first clamp 130. That is, the rotating plate 120 can rotate around the connection point between the rotating plate 120 and the first mounting plate 110 to move closer to or away from the antenna body 300. The rotating plate 120 can also rotate around the connection point between the rotating plate 120 and the first clamp 130 to move closer to or away from the mast 400, thereby changing the positional relationship between the antenna body 300 and the mast 400. This structure is simple, has few parts, simplifies the manufacturing process, and has high strength and good stability.

[0034] During the packaging process, the rotating plate 120 is controlled to rotate toward the antenna body 300, and the first clamp 130 is controlled to rotate toward the antenna body 300. Figure 4 As shown, the packaging is small in size, easy to protect, convenient to transport, and has low transportation costs.

[0035] During installation, the rotating plate 120 and the first clamp 130 are controlled to rotate in a direction away from the antenna body 300, so that the first clamp 130 is matched and installed with the mast 400 to achieve clamping and fixing of the mast 400. Finally, the rotating plate 120 is controlled to rotate according to actual needs to change the angle between the antenna body 300 and the mast 400. The whole installation process is simple, convenient and safe.

[0036] The base station antenna bracket provided by this invention connects the two ends of a rotating plate to a first mounting plate and a first clamp, respectively. The first mounting plate is installed on the top of the antenna body, and the first clamp is used to hold and fix the mounting rod. By controlling the rotation of the rotating plate, the positional relationship between the antenna body and the mounting rod can be adjusted to meet actual needs. During packaging, the rotation of the first clamp can be controlled to make the first clamp and the rotating plate coplanar, and the rotating plate can be controlled to rotate toward the first mounting plate to bring the rotating plate and the first clamp closer to the antenna body. The packaging size is small, which facilitates protection, transportation, and reduces transportation costs. During actual installation, the rotation of the first clamp is controlled, and the first clamp is matched and fixedly connected to the first mounting rod. The rotation of the rotating plate is controlled to adjust the positional relationship between the antenna body and the mounting rod. The operation is simple, convenient for operators to install, and highly safe.

[0037] Based on the above embodiments, the first mounting plate 110 has a mounting portion 111 and a connecting portion 112 perpendicular to the mounting portion 111. The mounting portion 111 is used to connect with the antenna body 300. The rotating plate 120 includes an upper corner arm 121 and a lower corner arm 122. The first end of the upper corner arm 121 is rotatably connected to the first end of the lower corner arm 122. The second end of the upper corner arm 121 is rotatably connected to the first clamp 130. The second end of the lower corner arm 122 is rotatably connected to the connecting portion 112.

[0038] The rotating plate 120 includes an upper corner arm 121 and a lower corner arm 122, wherein the first end of the upper corner arm 121 and the first end of the lower corner arm 122 are rotatably connected; specifically, by rotating the upper corner arm 121 or the lower corner arm 122, the upper corner arm 121 and the lower corner arm 122 can overlap, or the length directions of the upper corner arm 121 and the lower corner arm 122 are consistent, or the upper corner arm 121 and the lower corner arm 122 form a certain angle.

[0039] The first mounting plate 110 has a mounting part 111 and a connecting part 112. The mounting part 111 is used to match and install with the outer wall surface of the top of the antenna body 300. The connecting part 112 is perpendicular to the mounting part 111 and has a first rotating shaft. The second end of the lower corner arm 122 is rotatably connected to the first rotating shaft. When the lower corner arm 122 is rotated, it can rotate towards or away from the mounting part 111. The first clamp 130 has a second rotating shaft. The second end of the upper corner arm 121 is rotatably connected to the second rotating shaft. When the upper corner arm 121 is rotated, it can rotate towards or away from the first clamp 130. The first clamp 130 is used to clamp and fix the top of the mounting rod 400.

[0040] In this embodiment, by controlling the rotation of the upper corner arm 121 or the lower corner arm 122, the angle between the antenna body 300 connected to the first mounting plate 110 and the mast 400 connected to the first clamp 130 can be changed to meet actual needs. The upper bracket assembly 100 has a simple structure, is easy to operate, and has high safety.

[0041] Based on the above embodiments, the upper support assembly 100 further includes a locking plate 140, and the rotating plate 120 further includes a support arm 123. The support arm 123 is connected to the lower corner arm 122, and the support arm 123 has a support portion 1231 parallel to the lower corner arm 122. There is a gap between the support portion 1231 and the lower corner arm 122. The upper corner arm 121 is provided with a sliding groove 1211, which is arranged along the extension direction of the upper corner arm 121. One end of the locking plate 140 is rotatably connected to the support portion 1231, and the other end of the locking plate 140 can move along the extension direction of the sliding groove 1211.

[0042] refer to Figure 2The rotating plate 120 includes an upper corner arm 121, a lower corner arm 122, and a support arm 123. The support arm 123 has a support portion 1231 and a connecting portion 112. The connecting portion 112 is connected to the lower corner arm 122. The support portion 1231 is perpendicular to the connecting portion 112, and there is a gap between the support portion 1231 and the lower corner arm 122. One end of the locking plate 140 is rotatably connected to the support portion 1231. By setting a gap between the support portion 1231 and the lower corner arm 122, and the gap being greater than the thickness of the locking plate 140, the present invention facilitates the rotation of the locking plate 140 and avoids interference between the locking plate 140 and the lower corner arm 122 during the rotation process.

[0043] Furthermore, a sliding groove 1211 is provided on the upper corner arm 121, and the length direction of the sliding groove 1211 is consistent with the length direction of the upper corner arm 121. The other end of the locking plate 140 is connected to a sliding member, which is set perpendicular to the upper corner arm 121. The sliding member can drive the locking plate 140 to move along the length direction of the sliding groove 1211. In actual operation, when the angle between the upper corner arm 121 and the lower corner arm 122 changes, the sliding member drives one end of the locking plate 140 to move along the length direction of the sliding groove 1211. After the included angle is locked, the locking plate 140 is locked, that is, both ends of the locking plate 140 are locked. The upper corner arm 121, the lower corner arm 122 and the locking plate 140 form a stable triangle to achieve the locking of the included angle. This structure has high strength and good stability.

[0044] Based on the above embodiments, the upper bracket assembly 100 further includes a fixing member 150, which is used to lock the positions of both ends of the locking plate 140.

[0045] In one embodiment, the sliding member is a bolt, and the fixing member 150 is a fixing nut. After the position angle of the upper corner arm 121 and the lower corner arm 122 is determined, the position of the locking plate 140 is locked by the bolt and the nut. That is, the bolt fixes the sliding member in the slide groove 1211, and the nut fixes the locking plate 140 to the upper corner arm 121. Furthermore, the locking plate 140 and the support part 1231 are locked. The upper corner arm 121, the lower corner arm 122 and the locking plate 140 form a stable triangle to lock the included angle and prevent movement after the position angle of the upper corner arm 121 and the lower corner arm 122 is determined.

[0046] In one embodiment, by providing a snap-fit ​​device in the slide groove 1211, the position angle of the upper corner arm 121 and the lower corner arm 122 is determined and the position of the sliding member is locked by the snap-fit ​​device; further, the locking plate 140 and the lower corner arm 122 are fixed, and now the antenna body is displaced.

[0047] During the packaging process, the connection between the locking plate 140 and the slide 1211 can be removed, the locking plate 140 and the support 1231 can be unlocked, and the locking plate 140 can be rotated to control the locking plate 140 to rotate in the direction of the lower corner arm 122; or, the lock between the locking plate 140 and the upper corner arm 121 can be removed, and the locking plate 140 can be controlled to rotate in the direction of the upper corner arm 121; the overall size can be reduced, making packaging and protection more convenient.

[0048] Based on the above embodiments, there are two upper corner arms 121, two lower corner arms 122, and two locking plates 140, with support arms 123 located on the inner or outer sides of the two lower corner arms 122.

[0049] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first mounting plate 110 is a U-shaped mounting plate with two connecting parts 112. The two connecting parts 112 are perpendicular to the mounting part 111. The first end of each lower corner arm 122 is rotatably connected to the first end of the upper corner arm 121, and the second end of each lower corner arm 122 is rotatably connected to the corresponding connecting part 112. The lower corner arm 122 can be rotated in a direction closer to or further away from the mounting part 111 to change the angle between the lower corner arm 122 and the mounting part 111. The second end of each upper corner arm 121 is rotatably connected to the first clamp 130. Rotating the upper corner arm 121 or the clamp can change the angle between the upper corner arm 121 and the first clamp 130.

[0050] Furthermore, there is one support arm 123, which is located between the two upper corner arms 121. The two ends of the support arm 123 are respectively connected to the two lower corner arms 122. The support arm 123 has a support portion 1231, which is parallel to the lower corner arms 122.

One end of each locking plate 140 is rotatably connected to the support part 1231, and the other end of each locking plate 140 can move along the slide groove 1211 on the upper corner arm 121. After the angular position of the upper corner arm 121 and the lower corner arm 122 is determined, the two ends of the locking plate 140 are fixed by the fixing member 150, that is, the locking plate 140 is locked to the support part 1231, and the position of the locking plate 140 in the slide groove 1211 is locked.

[0054] In this embodiment, the structure of the support arm 123 is not specifically limited. It can be limited according to the actual situation to avoid interference between the locking plate 140 and the support part 1231 during rotation.

[0055] Based on the above embodiments, the lower corner arm 122 and the support arm 123 are integrally formed parts.

[0056] refer to Figure 2 The two lower corner arms 122 and the support arm 123 are integrally formed parts. The integrally formed parts are formed by bending the U-shaped parts towards the opening through a metal bending process to form two U-shaped structural parts with opposite openings.

The support arm 123 has a support portion 1231, which is parallel to the lower corner arm 122 and there is a gap between them. The upper corner arm 121 is provided with a sliding groove 1211. One end of the locking plate 140 is rotatably connected to the support portion 1231, and the other end of the locking plate 140 is connected to a sliding member. The sliding member is set perpendicular to the locking plate 140 toward the upper corner arm 121. The sliding member drives the locking plate 140 to move in the sliding groove 1211. After the angle between the upper corner arm 121 and the lower corner arm 122 is determined, the connection between the locking plate 140 and the support portion 1231 and the position of the sliding member in the sliding groove 1211 are locked by the fixing member 150. The locking plate 140, the upper corner arm 121 and the lower corner arm 122 form a stable triangle to achieve angle locking.

[0073] The bottom of the antenna body 300 and the bottom of the mast 400 are provided with a lower support assembly 200. The lower support assembly 200 includes a second mounting plate 210 and a second clamp 220. The second mounting plate 210 and the second clamp 220 are rotatably connected. The second mounting plate 210 is connected to the outer wall surface of the bottom of the antenna body 300. The second clamp 220 clamps and fixes the bottom of the mast 400. Rotating the second mounting plate 210 and / or the second clamp 220 can adjust the angle between the antenna body 300 and the mast 400.

[0074] In the packaged and stored state, one end of the locking plate 140 is disconnected, and the rotating plate 120, the first clamp 130, and the second clamp 220 are all rotated toward the antenna body 300, so that the first clamp 130, the rotating plate 120, and the locking plate 140 are in a flattened state parallel to the outer wall surface of the antenna body 300. Figure 4 As shown, this saves packaging space.

[0075] The base station antenna provided by this invention has a small number of structural parts, a simple manufacturing process, high strength, high support stability, and a simple structure, making it suitable for large-scale manufacturing and automated production.

[0076] This invention proposes a novel base station antenna bracket based on a strip metal sheet bending structure. The overall design has fewer parts, simplifying the production process. The readily available and easily processed materials effectively reduce manufacturing costs. The pre-galvanizing process eliminates the need for post-processing surface treatment, resulting in low cost, light weight, and good outdoor protection performance. The bending design improves the overall strength. Both the upper corner arm 121 and the lower corner arm 122 are designed in a U-shape using strip metal bending, allowing for angle adjustment by rotation before base station antenna installation. A locking plate 140 is formed by bending the strip metal sheet to lock the adjustable angle under high wind load conditions.

[0077] During antenna storage and transportation, the base station antenna bracket is laid flat on the outer wall of the antenna body 300, saving packaging volume and reducing packaging costs. During base station antenna installation, the rotating plate 120 can be directly controlled to rotate and adjust to a suitable position for manual handling or hoisting, facilitating installation and reducing workload. This design features simple component manufacturing, high load-bearing capacity, and adaptability to strong wind loads; it is lightweight, has fewer manufacturing steps, and is easy to assemble, effectively reducing manufacturing costs and improving installation efficiency. The base station antenna provided by this invention can meet the application needs of indoor and outdoor base station antennas, has a simple installation process, high strength, simple structure, and is suitable for large-scale manufacturing and automated production.

[0078] In this invention, the integral parts are formed by bending metal plates or alloy plates, all made of standard galvanized steel strips, resulting in strong load-bearing capacity, simple structure, and easy bending process. Pre-galvanization eliminates the need for post-processing surface treatment, leading to low cost, light weight, and good outdoor protection performance. After being flattened, the upper support assembly 100 and lower support assembly 200 can be rotated to the center of the antenna body 300 via pivot points for storage and transportation before base station antenna installation. This effectively reduces packaging size, avoids separate packaging of support assemblies, increases packaging security, and saves pallets and packing materials. During on-site installation, since the upper and lower support assemblies are integrated with the antenna body 300, no secondary installation is required, effectively saving installation time and reducing outdoor work intensity.

[0079] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
