Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a rainproof ventilation device, belonging to the technical field of radar antenna protection. Background Art

[0002] The higher the radar detection accuracy, the larger the array size and transmission power. To reduce energy loss in the transmission link, the integrated design of the power amplifier module and the antenna array has become an inevitable trend. However, vehicle-mounted mobile radars must ensure that the radar antenna installation time is short and meets the requirements of highway transportation load limits and railway transportation boundary indicators. As a result, the thickness of the antenna array panel is limited, and how to solve the heat dissipation problem within the limited space becomes a design focus.

[0003] Currently, the main heat dissipation methods for vehicle-mounted mobile radar antenna array panels are liquid cooling and forced air cooling. Liquid cooling has a good cooling effect, but it requires a lot of refrigeration equipment, takes up a lot of space, and is costly. Forced air cooling dissipates heat through the circulation of air between the outside air and the air inside the antenna panel, which just makes up for the above-mentioned shortcomings of liquid cooling. However, there are many electronic devices installed inside the vehicle-mounted mobile radar antenna panel. How to prevent any rainwater from entering the antenna panel while dissipating heat is a difficult problem that designers urgently need to solve. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The multi-layer filter screen combination consists of a transverse corrugated filter screen, a longitudinal corrugated filter screen and a plain filter screen.

[0009] The top of the outer cover is provided with two main air inlets, and ventilation holes are evenly distributed around the outer cover. The multi-layer filter assembly is fixedly installed in the outer cover corresponding to the two main air inlets.

[0011] The rain protection process of the device body is as follows: rainwater on the top of the outer cover accumulates in the first water guide groove a and the second water guide groove b - flows downwardly out of the outer cover along the two sides of the first water guide groove a and the second water guide groove b; rainwater on the top of the outer cover - the falling speed of raindrops is weakened by the multi-layer filter group - the raindrops are dispersed into several smaller water droplets - these smaller water droplets gather on the multi-layer filter combination - flow downward along the multi-layer filter combination to the third water guide groove c and accumulate - flow out through the drainage hole c of the deflector cover - and the accumulated water at the bottom of the outer cover is discharged through the drainage hole d of the fourth water guide groove d at the bottom of the mounting frame.

[0031] The specific implementation of the rainproof ventilation device is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings (see Figures 1 to 11 ):

[0032] (See Figure 1 ), a rainproof ventilation device of the present invention includes a device body; the device body is composed of a mounting frame 1, a water baffle 2, a guide cover 3, an outer cover 4, a transverse corrugated filter screen, a longitudinal corrugated filter screen, a plain filter screen, a support column 5, a mounting plate 6, a filter screen 7 and a plurality of screws 8; the transverse corrugated filter screen, the longitudinal corrugated filter screen and the plain filter screen constitute a multi-layer filter screen combination 401.

[0033] (See Figure 2 and Figure 3 ), the mounting frame 1 is a symmetrical structure and is made of a U-shaped cross-section profile; after the mounting frame 1 is installed with the water retaining plate 2, a first layer of water guide channel a100 is formed between the upper part of the mounting frame 1 and the water retaining plate 2, and a U-shaped groove a101 is formed at the lower part of the mounting frame 1 for collecting rainwater. A drainage hole a102 is designed on the side of the U-shaped groove a101, and the rainwater accumulated at the bottom of the U-shaped groove a101 is discharged through the drainage hole a102.

[0034] (See Figure 4 and Figure 5 ), the water retaining plate 2 is a bent symmetrical structure and is made of a "7"-shaped cross-section profile; the upper part of the water retaining plate 2 forms a second layer of water guide channel b200 due to its cross-sectional shape, and grooves 201 are made at both ends of the lower part of the water retaining plate 2. After rainwater accumulates, it is discharged from the grooves 201 on both sides.

[0035] (See Figure 6 and Figure 7 ), the deflector 3 is an inwardly concave symmetrical structure, mainly used for side wind diversion and rain protection; the deflector 3 is fixed to the mounting frame 1 by screws 8, and a third layer of water guide trough c300 is formed at the lower part of the deflector 3. A U-shaped groove c301 is made at the lower part of the deflector 3 for collecting rainwater. A drainage hole c302 is designed on the side of the U-shaped groove c301, and the rainwater accumulated in the U-shaped groove c301 is discharged through the drainage hole c302.

[0036] (See Figure 8 、 Figure 9 and Figure 10 ), the outer cover 4 is a symmetrical structure, and two main air outlets 400 are designed on the top surface of the outer cover 4. A multi-layer filter combination 401 composed of a horizontal wavy filter, a longitudinal wavy filter, and a plain filter is fixed in the outer cover 4 through a mounting plate 6. A plurality of ventilation holes 402 are evenly distributed around the outer cover 4, forming a waterproof ventilation and filtering structure with the main air outlet 400.

[0037] (See Figure 1 and Figure 11 ), the water baffle 2 is fixed to the mounting frame 1 by screws 8, and the fitting surface of the water baffle 2 and the mounting frame 1 is coated with waterproof sealant for sealing. After sealing and fixing, a first layer of water guide groove a100 is formed on the top between the mounting frame 1 and the water baffle 2; due to the cross-sectional characteristics of the water baffle 2, a second layer of water guide groove b200 is formed on the upper part of the water baffle 2; a third layer of water guide groove c300 is formed at the lower part of the deflector 3; a fourth layer of water guide groove d103 is formed at the lower part of the mounting frame 1; a multi-layer filter screen combination 401 consisting of a horizontal corrugated filter screen, a longitudinal corrugated filter screen and a plain filter screen is fixed to the main air outlet 400 of the outer cover 4 by a mounting plate 6 and multiple screws 8; the outer cover 4 is fixed to the mounting frame 1 by a support column 5 and screws 8; the filter screen 7 is fixed to the inner side of the mounting frame 1 by multiple screws 8.

[0038] (See Figure 11 ), during ventilation, the air at the top of the outer cover 4 of the device body is first filtered by the multi-layer filter combination 401 of the main air outlet 400, and then filtered by the filter 7 to reach the inner side of the antenna array panel block; the air around the outer cover 4 passes through the vent 402 of the outer cover 4, the guide cover 3, the water baffle 2, and the filter 7 in turn to reach the inner side of the antenna array panel block.

[0039] When waterproof, rainwater from the top of the outer cover 4 of the device body enters and accumulates in the first water guide groove a100 and the second water guide groove b200, and flows downward along the two sides of the first water guide groove a100 and the second water guide groove b200 through the U-shaped groove a101, the drainage hole a102, and the groove 201 to flow out of the outer cover 4; when the rainwater outside the outer cover 4 passes through the multi-layer filter assembly 401, the speed of the raindrops is weakened by the action of the multi-layer filter assembly 401, and the raindrops are dispersed into several Smaller water droplets, under the influence of water droplet tension, gather on the multi-layer filter assembly 401 and flow down along it, accumulating in the third-layer water guide c300. They then flow out through the drainage holes c302 on the side of the U-shaped groove c301 of the deflector 3, and through the drainage holes d105 in the fourth-layer water guide d103 and U-shaped groove d104 of the mounting frame 1, ultimately draining out from the bottom of the outer cover 4, effectively preventing rainwater from flowing into the antenna array panels. This solves the difficult problem of achieving both ventilation and waterproofing of the antenna array panels within a limited thickness range.

[0040] The device body is light and compact, with a length of 500 mm, a width of 240 mm, a thickness of only 50 mm, and a weight of 2.5 kg. It is very convenient to install the device body of the present invention to the position of the antenna array panel that needs rain protection and ventilation through the flange of the mounting frame 1. The device has been put into use with good effect and has fully achieved the expected design purpose.

After reading this specification, ordinary technicians in the relevant technical field make any simple modifications or deformations to the above specific implementation methods based on the technical essence of the present invention, as well as equivalent embodiments that may be changed or modified into equivalent changes using the technical content disclosed above, all fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention and do not deviate from the essence and scope of the present invention.
