Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of mobile communication technology, specifically to a base station controller. Background Technology

[0002] Base station controller: This is the control and management part of the base station subsystem, located between the MSC and BTS. It is responsible for completing wireless network management, wireless resource management, and monitoring and management of wireless base stations. It also controls the establishment, maintenance, and termination of wireless connections between mobile stations and BTS. In China, there are mainly two types of base stations: GSM and CDMA.

[0003] Currently, base station controllers automatically issue power outage alarms when power is lost. However, these alarms are usually sent from the base station first and then transmitted to the base station controller via physical links, resulting in significant reporting delays. When power supply duration cannot be guaranteed, power outage alarm information often fails to be reported in time. Furthermore, when the base station controller is powered off, it is inconvenient to back up the base station's data configuration; manual switching of transmission lines and sending configuration commands are required, making the process cumbersome. Moreover, existing base station controllers are typically installed at high locations, requiring maintenance personnel to climb to these heights for repairs, further complicating subsequent maintenance work.

[0030] To better understand the purpose, structure, and function of this invention, a base station controller of this invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] Please see Figure 1-8This invention relates to a base station controller, comprising a controller body 1, a temporary power supply module 2, a power module, a power failure detection unit, a wireless transmission module, a processor, a data storage module, an embedded real-time database, an RTOS operation module, and a data backup module. The temporary power supply module 2 is fixed to the bottom of the controller body 1. A mounting box 3 is fixed to the top of the controller body 1. A drive structure 4 is movably connected inside the mounting box 3. Threaded rods 5 are provided through the left and right sides of the top of the mounting box 3. A movable sleeve 6 is fitted on the surface above the threaded rods 5. A support plate 7 is fixed to the top of the mounting box 3, and a solar charging panel 8 is hinged to the top of the support plate 7. A fixing plate 9 is provided on the back of the controller body 1, and an adjustment structure 10 is fixed to the front side of the fixing plate 9. A base station mounting bracket 11 is provided on the surface of the adjustment structure 10, and the front side of the base station mounting bracket 11 is fixedly connected to the back of the controller body 1. The output end of the power module is unidirectionally electrically connected to the input end of the power failure detection unit, and the output end of the power failure detection unit is unidirectionally electrically connected to the input end of the wireless transmission module. The output of the power failure detection unit... The processor's output terminal is unidirectionally electrically connected to the input terminal of the embedded real-time database, and unidirectionally electrically connected to the input terminal of the data storage module. This invention can monitor the power supply circuit in real time and promptly issue a power outage alarm when a power failure occurs, facilitating maintenance work. After a power failure, it can automatically switch to a backup circuit to provide circuitry to the base station controller, backing up the base station's configuration data for subsequent system reset. Furthermore, the base station controller has a lifting function, automatically lowering itself during maintenance, eliminating the need for staff to climb to higher positions. This provides convenience and solves the problems of existing base station controllers failing to report power outage alarms in time, the inconvenience of backing up base station data after a power failure, and the inconvenience of staff having to climb to higher positions for maintenance.

[0032] The drive structure 4 includes a first motor 41, a double-groove pulley 42, and a single-groove pulley 43. The first motor 41 is fixed to the top of the inner wall of the mounting box 3. The double-groove pulley 42 is bolted to the bottom end of the output shaft of the first motor 41 and is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the mounting box 3. The single-groove pulley 43 is rotatably connected to the left and right sides of the inner wall of the mounting box 3, and the double-groove pulley 42 and the single-groove pulley 43 are connected by belt drive. The bottom end of the threaded rod 5 extends into the interior of the mounting box 3 and is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the mounting box 3. The threaded rod 5 passes through the single-groove pulley 43 and is fixedly connected to it. During the day, the first motor 41 is turned on, and the output shaft of the first motor 41 drives the double-groove pulley 42 to rotate. Through the belts on both sides, the single-groove pulleys 43 on the left and right sides rotate synchronously. The threaded rods 5 on both sides rotate, thereby adjusting the tilt angle of the solar charging panel 8 above to collect sunlight and charge the temporary power supply module 2 so that the base station controller can be used when the power is off.

[0033] The threads on the left and right sides of the mounting box 3 are arranged in opposite directions, and the threaded rods 5 extend into the interior of the movable sleeve 6 and are threadedly connected to the inner wall of the movable sleeve 6. The top of the movable sleeve 6 is hinged to the bottom of the solar charging panel 8. When the threaded rods 5 on both sides rotate synchronously, the movable sleeves 6 on the left and right sides will move in different directions. One side rises and the other side falls, which causes the solar charging panel 8 to tilt.

[0034] Limiting grooves 12 are provided on both sides of the support plate 7. Limiting rods 13 are fixed on the lower side of one side of the movable sleeve 6. One end of the limiting rod 13 extends into the interior of the limiting groove 12 and is bolted with a limiting block 14. The limiting block 14 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting groove 12. When the movable sleeve 6 moves up and down, the limiting block 14 will slide inside the limiting groove 12 and limit the movable sleeve 6.

[0035] The adjustment structure 10 includes a second motor 101, a first gear 102, a second gear 103, and a rack plate 104. The second motor 101 is fixed to the right side of the base station mounting frame 11. The first gear 102 and the second gear 103 are rotatably connected to the left and right sides of the inner wall of the base station mounting frame 11, respectively. The output shaft of the second motor 101 passes through the base station mounting frame 11 and is fixedly connected to the first gear 102. The rack plate 104 is fixed to the front side of the fixing plate 9, and the first gear 102 and the second gear 103 are meshed with the rack plate 104. When the base station controller needs to be maintained after power failure, the staff only needs to open the second motor 101, so that the output shaft of the second motor 101 drives the first gear 102 to rotate. Since the first gear 102 and the second gear 103 are meshed with the rack plate 104, the base station mounting frame 11 drives the controller body 1 to move downward, reducing the height of the base station controller. When the base station controller is lowered to a certain height, the staff can carry out maintenance work.

[0036] Guide grooves 15 are provided on both the left and right sides of the fixed plate 9. Guide blocks 16 are rotatably connected to the surfaces of the first gear 102 and the second gear 103 on opposite sides. One side of the guide block 16 extends into the interior of the guide groove 15 and slides in connection with the inner wall of the guide groove 15. When the base station mounting bracket 11 slides up and down, the guide block 16 slides inside the guide groove 15, thereby increasing the stability of the base station controller during the up and down lifting process.

[0037] The output of the embedded real-time database is unidirectionally electrically connected to the input of the data backup module, and the output of the RTOS operation module is unidirectionally electrically connected to the input of the embedded real-time database. In the event of a power outage, the data backup module will back up the data in the embedded real-time database. When the staff performs maintenance operations, they can use the RTOS operation module to reload and reset the system, enabling the base station controller to work normally.

[0038] The power failure detection unit includes a circuit detection module, a power failure alarm module, and an alarm sending module. The output terminal of the circuit detection module is unidirectionally electrically connected to the input terminal of the power failure alarm module, and the output terminal of the power failure alarm module is unidirectionally electrically connected to the input terminal of the alarm sending module. The circuit detection module monitors the power supply status of the power module in real time. If a power failure occurs, the power failure alarm module will issue an alarm, and the alarm sending module will transmit the information to notify the staff.

[0039] The processor's output is unidirectionally electrically connected to the input of the temporary power supply module 2, and the solar charging panel 8 is electrically connected to the temporary power supply module 2. When a power outage alarm occurs, the power outage information is transmitted to the processor, and the processor will automatically turn on the temporary power supply module 2, thereby enabling the temporary power supply module 2 to provide temporary power to the entire base station controller so that the base station controller can back up its internal data.

[0040] The data backup module backs up all base station data configurations in the base station controller, including base station equipment configurations and wireless resource configurations. The data backup module also backs up base station data in the embedded database so that staff can reset the system in the base station controller when performing maintenance.

[0041] Working Principle: During normal operation of the base station controller, the power module supplies power to the controller body 1. During this power supply process, the circuit detection module monitors the power module. If a power outage occurs, the power outage alarm module will issue an alarm. The alarm sending module transmits this information, which is then sent to the backend via the wireless transmission module, notifying personnel to come for maintenance. After the power outage alarm is issued, the processor will also directly activate the temporary power supply module 2, allowing it to replace the power module in supplying power to the controller body 1. The base station equipment configuration data in the embedded real-time database will be uploaded to the data backup module. When personnel arrive at the maintenance site, they will first activate the second power supply module. When the machine 101 is opened, the base station mounting bracket 11 lowers the controller body 1. After it is lowered to a suitable height, the staff can carry out maintenance work. The staff can restore the data of the controller body 1 during the power outage by using the RTOS operation module inside the controller body 1 and the data backed up in the data backup module. After the controller body 1 is powered back, the base station controller and the base station can resume normal operation. When the base station controller is working normally, the first motor 41 above it is turned on, so that the solar charging panel 8 can tilt, thereby facilitating the solar charging panel 8 to charge the temporary power supply module 2 below the controller body 1 for use in the event of a subsequent power outage of the base station controller.
