Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of antenna technology, and in particular to an antenna mounting device. Background Technology
[0002] In radio communication systems, signal transmission and reception rely on base station antennas. The orientation of the base station antenna is crucial for the radio communication network; if the antenna is not installed horizontally, it will affect the signal coverage and signal quality. Therefore, during the installation and use of base station antennas, their orientation needs to be adjusted accordingly to ensure that the coverage meets the required standards.
[0003] In some situations, it is desirable to adjust the vertical orientation of base station antennas, such as their mechanical tilt angle. Specifically, base station antennas are often mounted on towers and tall buildings, and these poles are not perpendicular to the ground, requiring orientation adjustments during installation. Another example is when the pole is not perpendicular to the ground, requiring adjustment of the horizontal angle. Typically, antenna mounting assemblies may include an upper mounting assembly and a lower mounting assembly. The lower assembly provides a pivot point for the base station antenna, providing a fixed position that cannot be adjusted by knobs. The upper mounting assembly may have an effective length that is vertically adjustable, allowing the mechanical tilt angle of the base station antenna to be adjusted by this effective length. While the mechanical tilt angle can be measured and calculated using measuring and computing devices, it is impossible to accurately read the specific downward tilt angle, let alone achieve horizontal adjustment.

Detailed Implementation
[0031] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application, the solution of this application will be further described below. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0032] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of this application, but this application may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; obviously, the embodiments in the specification are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments.
[0033] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this application provides an antenna mounting device, including:
[0034] Mount 1 is typically fixed to a rooftop or tower to provide a foundation for the installation of antenna 5.
[0035] Two fixing mechanisms 3 are provided, with the two fixing mechanisms 3 spaced apart on the support pole 1.
[0036] The first mounting assembly 2 includes a horizontal tilt adjuster 21 and a first linkage mechanism. The horizontal tilt adjuster 21 is horizontally positioned and rotatably connected to a fixing mechanism 3. The horizontal tilt adjuster 21 is provided with a horizontal tilt display mechanism 25, which is used to display the horizontal tilt angle of the horizontal tilt adjuster 21. The first linkage mechanism includes a first fixing member 22, a second fixing member 24, and at least two first hinge parts 23 connected between the first fixing member 22 and the second fixing member 24. The first fixing member 22 is hinged to the horizontal tilt adjuster 21, and the second fixing member 24 is fixedly connected to the first mounting plate 51 of the antenna 5. The second fixing member 24 of the horizontal tilt adjuster 21 is provided with a mechanical tilt display mechanism 26, which is used to display the mechanical tilt angle of the antenna 5.
[0037] The second mounting assembly 4 includes a second linkage mechanism, which includes at least two second hinges. One end of the second linkage mechanism is connected to another fixing mechanism 3, and the other end of the second linkage mechanism is fixedly connected to the second mounting plate 52 of the antenna 5.
[0038] It should be noted that the horizontal tilt angle is only the tilt angle of the horizontal tilt angle adjuster 21 relative to the horizontal plane, while the mechanical tilt angle refers to the tilt angle of the antenna 5 relative to the first mounting component 2.
[0039] Specifically, the fixing mechanism 3 is used to fix the first mounting component 2 and the second mounting component to the pole 1. The pole 1 is generally fixed on the roof or iron tower. Due to the limitations of the installation conditions, it is almost impossible to achieve perpendicularity to the horizontal plane. It will generally form an angle with the horizontal plane, which will cause the antenna 5 to tilt during installation, resulting in a decrease in the signal quality of the antenna 5 and a deterioration in polarization purity.
[0040] The antenna mounting device provided in this application embodiment allows for intuitive display of the horizontal tilt angle by observing the horizontal tilt adjustment mechanism. The horizontal tilt adjuster 21 is adjusted relative to the fixing mechanism 3 until the horizontal tilt angle displayed by the horizontal tilt adjustment mechanism is 0, and then the horizontal tilt adjuster 21 is fixed at this position. Alternatively, the mechanical tilt angle can be intuitively displayed by observing the mechanical tilt adjustment mechanism. When the mechanical tilt angle does not meet the requirements, the angle between the multiple first hinge parts 23 is adjusted to meet the requirements, and then the angle between the multiple first hinge parts 23 is fixed at this position. The antenna mounting device provided by this invention allows for intuitive reading of the mechanical tilt angle and the horizontal tilt angle of the antenna 5 when mounted on the mast 1. It also enables two-dimensional adjustment of both the mechanical tilt angle and the horizontal tilt angle, effectively solving the problem of the conventional mounting bracket's inability to adjust the horizontal position. The adjusted base station antenna 5 transmits a more polarized signal to the target, resulting in better coverage.
[0041] Furthermore, in combination Figures 2 to 4As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the horizontal tilt adjuster 21 includes a first housing 210 and a sliding component first connector 41. The sliding component is slidably disposed inside the first housing 210. The first connector 41 and the first fixing member 22 are fixedly connected to the sliding component outside the first housing 210. Two arc-shaped grooves 2101 are provided on the first connector 41 and the first housing 210 at intervals along the sliding direction of the sliding component. Two first mounting holes are provided on the fixing mechanism 3. The first screw passes through the arc-shaped groove 2101 and the first mounting hole in sequence and is connected to the first nut. The first screw is slidably inserted into the arc-shaped groove 2101.
[0042] Specifically, the first housing 210 includes two parallel first side plates and two parallel second side plates. The two first side plates and two second side plates are connected end to end to form a rectangular frame open at both ends. The sliding assembly is slidably disposed inside the first housing 210. The first connecting member 41 is fixedly connected to the sliding assembly. When the sliding assembly slides inside the first housing 210, the first connecting member 41 moves together with the sliding assembly. Since the first connecting member 41 is hinged to the first linkage mechanism, the first connecting member 41 will simultaneously drive the first linkage mechanism to slide together. The length of the first side plate is greater than the length of the second side plate. One of the first side plates is attached to the fixing mechanism 3. Two arc-shaped grooves 2101 are provided at intervals on the first side plate. Two first mounting holes are correspondingly provided on the fixing mechanism 3. The first screw passes through the arc-shaped grooves 2101 and the first mounting holes in sequence and is connected to the first nut. When the horizontal tilt angle displayed by the horizontal tilt angle display mechanism 25 on the horizontal tilt angle adjuster 21 is not 0, it proves that the horizontal tilt angle adjuster 21 is not in a horizontal position. At this time, loosen the first nut so that the first screw can slide along the arc-shaped slide groove 2101. Adjust the sliding assembly to move it along the length direction of the first side plate. Due to the gravity of the first linkage mechanism and the antenna 5, the horizontal tilt angle adjuster 21 rotates until it rotates to the point where the horizontal tilt angle display mechanism 25 displays a horizontal tilt angle of 0. Then, the sliding assembly stops rotating, and the first nut is tightened to fix the horizontal tilt angle adjuster 21 in this position, thus completing the horizontal adjustment.
[0043] For example, when the horizontal tilt adjuster 21 tilts to the left, the first nut is loosened, causing the sliding component to move to the right until the tilt angle displayed on the horizontal tilt angle display mechanism 25 shows 0, at which point the adjustment stops, and the first nut is tightened to complete the horizontal adjustment. When the horizontal tilt adjuster 21 tilts to the right, the first nut is loosened, causing the sliding component to move to the left until the tilt angle displayed on the horizontal tilt angle display mechanism 25 shows 0, at which point the adjustment stops, and the first nut is tightened to complete the horizontal adjustment.
[0044] Furthermore, the two arc-shaped slides 2101 on the first side plate are arranged opposite each other. Arranging the two arc-shaped slides 2101 opposite each other can ensure that the horizontal tilt adjustment mechanism can move in a way that tilts to the left or to the right.
[0045] Furthermore, in some embodiments of this application, the sliding assembly includes a screw 211 and a slider 212. The two ends of the screw 211 are rotatably connected to the first housing 210. The slider 212 is provided with a first threaded hole. The slider 212 is sleeved on the screw 211 and is threadedly engaged with the screw 211 through the first threaded hole.
[0046] Specifically, through holes are provided on the second side plates, and the two ends of the screw 211 are respectively set with the through holes on the two second side plates. The screw 211 passes through the second through hole, and the part of the screw 211 outside the first housing 210 is provided with a groove. The opening retaining ring is C-shaped and is stuck in the groove, so that the screw 211 can rotate freely inside the first housing 210 without falling out. The slider 212 cannot rotate inside the first housing 210, but can only move linearly along the screw 211. When the screw 211 rotates inside the first housing 210, due to the threaded engagement between the slider 212 and the screw 211, the slider 212 will be driven to move along the length direction of the screw 211, thereby driving the first linkage mechanism and the antenna 5 to move to the left or right. The direction of movement of the slider 212 can be controlled by controlling the rotation direction of the screw 211. A slot 310 is also provided on the part of the screw 211 inside the first housing 210. The slot 310 is provided with several protrusions to facilitate the rotation of the screw 211 using tools.
[0047] The screw 211 can be adjusted manually or by a motor. In some embodiments, the screw 211 can also be remotely adjusted using a controller, cable, and motor. Alternatively, a wireless controller, receiver, and motor can be used to remotely adjust the screw 211's rotation.
[0048] Furthermore, in combination Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, a first groove 2102 is provided on the side of the first housing 210 away from the fixing mechanism 3. The first groove 2102 is arranged along the length direction of the screw 211. A second mounting hole is provided on the first connector 41 fixing member. A second threaded hole is provided on the slider 212. The second screw passes through the second mounting hole, the first groove 2102 and the second threaded hole in sequence. The second screw is slidably inserted in the first groove 2102.
[0049] Specifically, in some embodiments of this application, a first slide groove 2102 is disposed on a first side plate away from the fixing mechanism 3, and the first slide groove 2102 extends from one end of the first housing 210 to the other end. There are two first slide grooves 2102 arranged in parallel, and two second screws are disposed within each first slide groove 2102. The second slide grooves limit the sliding direction of the slider 212, preventing deviation of the slider 212's movement trajectory and improving the overall structural stability.
[0050] Furthermore, in combination Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the horizontal tilt display mechanism 25 is located on the side of the first housing 210 away from the fixing mechanism 3. In some embodiments of this application, the horizontal tilt display mechanism 25 and the first sliding groove 2102 are located on the same side of the first housing 210. The horizontal tilt display mechanism 25 includes a first pointer 251 and a first scale 252. A first protrusion 2103 is provided on the outer side of the first housing 210. One end of the first pointer 251 is rotatably sleeved on the first protrusion 2103. The first scale 252 is located below the first pointer 251 and is arranged along an arc with the first protrusion 2103 as the circle. The first pointer 251 has a certain mass, with a thicker head and a thinner tip. It can be made of metal or plastic. The first pointer 251 can also be in the form of a pendulum, swinging freely around the first protrusion 2103 when subjected to gravity.
[0051] In some embodiments, the first pointer 251 can be various pointers that rotate using the principle of gravity, and the number can be one or more.
[0052] The first dial 252 consists of vertical lines and numbers. The first dial 252 is arranged in an arc shape. The scale lines of the first dial 252 are of varying lengths and are arranged at equal intervals. There are numbers on the scale lines, which indicate the angle at that position.
[0053] In some embodiments of this application, the first dial 252 may be a transparent or semi-transparent component, or it may be equipped with a windproof cover or similar component. A movable first pointer 251 and the first dial 252 are also present. The first pointer 251 is configured to move to and remain at a scale position related to the horizontal tilt angle of the base station antenna 5 under the influence of its own weight. The first pointer 251 and the first dial 252 work together to read the horizontal tilt angle of the base station antenna 5.
[0054] In some embodiments of this application, the horizontal tilt display mechanism 25 is integrally formed with the first housing 210; or, the horizontal tilt display mechanism 25 may also be a separate module, which is fixedly connected to the first housing 210 by means of pasting, embedding, mounting, etc.
[0055] When a conventional mounting pole 1 is fixed to a rooftop or tower, it is almost impossible to achieve perfect perpendicularity to the horizontal ground due to practical limitations. An angle is formed in the horizontal direction relative to the ground, causing the antenna 5 to tilt during installation, resulting in decreased signal quality and reduced polarization purity. When the antenna 5 tilts horizontally, the horizontal tilt angle display mechanism 25 of this embodiment can visually display the tilt angle. When tilting to the left, loosen the first nut and simultaneously adjust the screw 211 to move the slider 212 to the right until the tilt angle displayed on the horizontal tilt angle display mechanism 25 shows 0. Then stop the adjustment and tighten the first nut to complete the horizontal adjustment. When the horizontal tilt angle adjuster 21 tilts to the right, loosen the first nut and simultaneously adjust the screw 211 to move the slider 212 to the left until the tilt angle displayed on the horizontal tilt angle display mechanism 25 shows 0. Then stop the adjustment and tighten the first nut to complete the horizontal adjustment.
[0056] Furthermore, in some embodiments of this application, the first linkage mechanism includes two first hinge parts 23, a first fixing member 22, and a second fixing member 24. The first fixing member 22 is fixedly connected to the first housing 210, and the second fixing member 24 is fixedly connected to the first mounting plate 51 of the antenna 5. The two first hinge parts 23 are hinged to each other and respectively to the first fixing member 22 and the second fixing member 24. The first hinge part includes a first connecting plate and a first skirt plate. There are two first skirt plates. The two first skirt plates are formed by bending the two opposite sides of the first connecting plate in the same direction. The two adjacent first hinge parts are hinged by passing a first bolt through the first skirt plate.
[0057] Specifically, in some embodiments of this application, the first fixing member 22 is fixedly connected to the first housing 210, the second fixing member 24 is fixedly connected to the first mounting plate 51 of the antenna 5, and there are two first hinge parts 23. The first hinge part 23 connected to the horizontal tilt adjuster 21 is longer and is called the long angle arm 231, while the first hinge part 23 connected to the second fixing member 24 is shorter and is called the short angle arm 232. Both ends of the first skirt plate protrude from the first connecting plate, and connecting holes are provided at both ends of the first skirt plate. The long arm 231 and the short arm 232 are connected by their respective skirt plates. The skirt plates of the long arm 231 and the short arm 232 are fitted together one by one. The first bolt passes through the skirt plates of the long arm 231 and the short arm 232 in sequence, and is fixed by a nut at the other end of the bolt. The long arm 231 and the short arm 232 move in a tensioning motion around the first bolt. The included angle between the long arm 231 and the short arm 232 can vary between 0° and 180°. The included angle between the second fixing member 24 and the short arm 232 can vary between 0° and 260°.
[0058] The first fixing member 22 and the second fixing member 24 have similar structures, both including a fixing plate and a second skirt plate. The second skirt plate and the first skirt plate are hinged together by bolts. The fixing plate of the first fixing member 22 is used to fix and connect with the slider 212, and the fixing plate of the second fixing member 24 is used to fix and connect with the first mounting plate 51 of the antenna 5.
[0059] Furthermore, in combination Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the mechanical tilt display mechanism 26 is disposed on any skirt plate of the second fixing member 24. The second fixing member 24 is provided with mounting holes for fixed connection with the first mounting member of the antenna 5. The mechanical tilt display mechanism 26 is similar in structure to the horizontal tilt display mechanism 25. Specifically, the mechanical tilt display mechanism 26 includes a second pointer 261 and a second scale 262. A second protrusion 241 is provided on the skirt plate of the second fixing plate 32. One end of the second pointer 261 is rotatably sleeved on the second protrusion 241. The second scale 262 is located below the second pointer 261 and is arranged along an arc centered on the second protrusion 241. Under the action of gravity, the second pointer 261 moves to or stops at a scale position related to the mechanical tilt angle of the antenna 5. The second scale 262 and the second pointer 261 work together to read the mechanical tilt angle of the antenna 5.
[0060] When antenna 5 is initially installed, its mechanical tilt angle on the vertical plane is usually 0. The second pointer 261 of the mechanical tilt angle display mechanism 26 points to 0 on the second scale 262. When the vertical plane attitude of antenna 5 needs to be adjusted, the first nut between the long angle arm 231 and the short angle arm 232 is loosened, which can realize the angle adjustment between the long angle arm 231 and the short angle arm 232, thereby realizing the adjustment of the vertical tilt angle of antenna 5. At this time, the angle on the mechanical tilt angle display mechanism 26 is read. After the required angle is reached, the first nut is tightened to fix antenna 5 in this position, and the vertical plane tilt angle adjustment is completed.
[0061] Furthermore, in some embodiments of this application, the fixing mechanism 3 includes a first fixing plate 31 and a second fixing plate 32 respectively disposed on both sides of the support rod 1. The first fixing plate 31 and the second fixing plate 32 are fixedly connected. The first fixing plate 31 and / or the second fixing plate 32 are provided with a groove 310 for cooperating with the outer circumferential surface of the support rod 1 on the side facing the support rod 1. The groove 310 is provided with anti-slip protrusions.
[0062] Specifically, the first fixing plate 31 has a U-shaped cross-section, with its opening facing the support rod 1. An arc-shaped groove is provided on the surface that contacts the support rod 1, forming a slot 310 that mates with the outer circumference of the support rod 1. Anti-slip protrusions are provided on the wall of the slot 310 to increase the friction between the first fixing plate 31 and the support rod 1, preventing the first fixing plate 31 from sliding off the support rod 1 under external force. The second fixing plate 32 is flat and bent into a V-shape in its middle, with its middle section opposite the slot 310. Mounting holes are provided at both ends of the first fixing plate 31 and the second fixing plate 32. Fasteners pass through these mounting holes to secure the first fixing plate 31 and the second fixing plate 32 to the support rod 1.
[0063] Furthermore, in combination Figure 7 As shown, the second mounting assembly 4 includes a first connector 41, a second connector 42, and a third fixing member 43. The second connector 42 is connected between the first connector 41 and the third fixing member 43, and both ends of the second connector 42 are hinged to the first connector 41 and the third fixing member 43, respectively. The first connector 41 is fixedly connected to the fixing mechanism 3, and the third fixing member 43 is fixedly connected to the second mounting plate 52 of the antenna 5. The first connector 41, the second connector 42, and the third fixing member 43 form three second hinged parts.
[0064] Specifically, one end of the first connector 41 is fixedly connected to the first fixing member 22, and the other end is hinged to one end of the second connector 42 through a universal connector. The other end of the second connector 42 is hinged to the third fixing member 43 through bolts. The second fixing member 24 and the third fixing member 43 have similar structures to the first fixing member 22 and the second fixing member 24. Their fixing plates are fixedly connected to the second mounting plate 52 of the antenna 5. The structure of the second connector 42 is similar to the structure of the first hinge part 23. The skirt of the third fixing member 43 is hinged to the skirt of the second connector 42 through bolts.
[0065] In summary, the antenna mounting device provided in this application embodiment can intuitively display the tilt angle of the antenna 5 relative to the horizontal plane by setting the horizontal tilt angle display mechanism 25, and can intuitively display the tilt angle of the antenna 5 relative to the vertical plane by setting the mechanical tilt angle display mechanism 26. Furthermore, by rotating the screw 211, the sliding movement can be caused to move the antenna 5 to the left or right via the first linkage mechanism, adjusting the horizontal tilt angle to 0. The tilt angle of the antenna 5 relative to the vertical plane can be adjusted by adjusting the angle between the adjacent first hinge parts 23 of the first connecting mechanism to meet the requirements. This effectively solves the problem of the conventional mounting bracket's inability to adjust the horizontal position. The adjusted base station antenna 5 transmits a more polarized signal to the target, resulting in better coverage.
