Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of antenna storage, and in particular relates to an antenna with an automatic storage function. Background Art

[0002] An antenna is a converter that converts guided waves propagating on a transmission line into electromagnetic waves propagating in an unbounded medium (usually free space), or vice versa. A component used to transmit or receive electromagnetic waves in radio equipment. In engineering systems such as radio communications, broadcasting, television, radar, navigation, electronic countermeasures, remote sensing, and radio astronomy, the existing antennas and their ancillary structures have a low degree of refinement in controlling the position of the antenna. In addition, due to the large mass of some antennas, there cannot be large mechanical errors during installation. On the other hand, when encountering abnormal weather such as strong winds, the antenna cannot be automatically retracted quickly, resulting in damage to the antenna. Therefore, an antenna with automatic retraction function is proposed. Summary of the invention

[0003] The purpose of this section is to summarize some aspects of embodiments of the present invention and briefly introduce some preferred embodiments. Some simplifications or omissions may be made in this section and the specification abstract and the invention title of this application to avoid blurring the purpose of this section, the specification abstract and the invention title, and such simplifications or omissions cannot be used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0004] In view of the following technical problems in the prior art: the existing antennas and their auxiliary structures have a low degree of precision in controlling the antenna position, and since some antennas have a large mass, there cannot be large mechanical errors during installation. On the other hand, when encountering abnormal weather such as strong winds, the antenna cannot be automatically retracted quickly, resulting in damage to the antenna.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: an antenna with automatic storage function, comprising:

[0006] T-shaped unit, the T-shaped unit is screwed to the assembly table, and the maximum range of motion of the T-shaped unit is greater than the stable range of motion;

[0007] A motor, the motor is located below the assembly table and is provided with a motorized component;

[0008] The rated range of motion is used to describe the range of motion of the T-shaped unit between the working position and the storage position, and to limit the rotation of the power transmission unit so that the range of motion of the T-shaped unit is limited from the maximum range of motion to the stable range of motion.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution for an antenna with an automatic storage function, the operating unit can lock the T-shaped unit when it is in the storage position, so that the T-shaped unit cannot move.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution for an antenna with an automatic storage function, the lower limit position of the maximum movable range of the T-shaped unit is lower than the storage position of the T-shaped unit, and the T-shaped unit is in a horizontal posture when in the storage position.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution for an antenna with an automatic storage function, the upper limit position of the maximum movable range of the T-shaped unit exceeds the working position of the T-shaped unit, and the movable range of the T-shaped unit from the working position to the position of the assembly table is consistent with the stable movable range;

[0012] The stable range of motion of the T-shaped unit is encompassed by the maximum range of motion.

[0013] As an optimal technical solution for an antenna with an automatic storage function, a motorized component is provided on the power transmission unit, and the power transmission unit is located between the motorized component and the motor; the movement of the motorized component within its movable range can enable the T-shaped unit to move smoothly within the maximum movable range of the T-shaped unit, and when the motorized component reaches its movable stop position, the corresponding T-shaped unit is also at its stop point.

[0014] As a preferred technical solution for an antenna with an automatic storage function, the motorized component is movably connected to the limiting unit, and the rotation range of the active end of the power transmission unit is constrained by the limiting unit. The rotation range of the active end of the power transmission unit still exceeds the active range formed between the two stop points of the motorized component, thereby allowing larger mechanical errors during installation and reducing the difficulty of installation. At the same time, it also reduces the processing accuracy of parts and components, thereby reducing manufacturing and use costs.

[0015] The motor drives the power transmission unit to operate, and during the operation of the motorized component, it will come into contact with the restriction unit. The range of movement of the power transmission unit between the two restriction units is the maximum range of movement allowed by the restriction unit.

[0016] As a preferred technical solution for an antenna with an automatic storage function, the operating unit includes an operating table, a locking subunit and a second elastic member, wherein the second elastic member is arranged between the operating table and the locking subunit, and the operating table receives a command to stop generating an electric field, the magnetic attraction between the operating table and the locking subunit is lost, and the second elastic member releases pressure to separate the operating table and the locking subunit, and the locking subunit moves outward from the inside of the operating table, and the locking subunit hinders the movement of the T-shaped unit and plays a role of limiting;

[0017] The locking subunit can also be attracted after the operating table receives a command and generates an electric field, thereby overcoming the repulsion of the second elastic member and returning to the operating table, thereby releasing the locking subunit from limiting the T-shaped unit.

[0018] As a preferred technical solution for an antenna with an automatic storage function, the operating unit also includes a locking bolt and an upper platform, the locking bolt is connected to the locking subunit, the upper platform limits the movement trajectory of the locking subunit and the locking bolt, and when the locking subunit retreats close to the locking bolt, the position of the locking bolt is limited by the upper platform.

[0019] As an optimal technical solution for an antenna with an automatic storage function, a retraction channel and a track groove subunit are preset on the upper platform, the locking subunit is inserted into the retraction channel, and the retraction channel is connected to the track groove subunit; the locking bolt is connected to the locking subunit, the track groove subunit is composed of a track groove and a locking groove, and the track groove is perpendicular to the locking groove; when the locking subunit is restricted by the operating table, the locking bolt is restricted on the inner side of the locking groove; the locking bolt can be pushed away from the locking groove to free the locking bolt from the lock.

[0020] As a preferred technical solution for an antenna with an automatic storage function, the linkage is connected to the T-shaped unit, the linkage is screwed to the assembly table, and the linkage unit is connected to the linkage;

[0021] When the T-shaped unit reaches the storage position, the operating unit and the linkage unit work together to restrict the movement of the T-shaped unit.

[0022] As an optimal technical solution for an antenna with an automatic storage function, the linkage unit includes a hoop, a limiting block and a wheel. The linkage is sleeved with the hoop, the limiting block is mounted on the hoop, the limiting block is screwed onto a screw rod, a wheel is mounted in the middle of the screw rod, and the wheel is movably connected to the operating unit.

[0023] During the storage of the T-shaped unit, the motor uses the power transmission unit to control the movement of the T-shaped unit; after the T-shaped unit reaches the storage position, the operating unit can temporarily limit the movement of the T-shaped unit.

[0024] The operating unit cancels the lock of the T-shaped unit, and the motor controls the movement of the T-shaped unit using the power transmission unit;

[0025] The maximum range of motion of the T-shaped unit is larger than the stable range of motion, and the stable range of motion is adjusted within the maximum range of motion through the power transmission unit;

[0026] The motor can move the motorized component using the power transmission unit. During the movement of the motorized component, it will encounter the restriction unit and stop, and then the allowable movement range of the restriction unit can be determined, so that the T-shaped unit can be framed to a stable movement range.

[0027] The antenna with automatic storage function of the present invention has the following beneficial effects: the maximum activity range of the T-shaped unit is larger than the stable activity range, and the motor can control the T-shaped unit to be stored or lifted at high speed by using the power transmission unit; the power transmission unit can be used to accurately adjust the T-shaped unit to quickly reach the storage position or the lifting position; the T-shaped unit can be locked by the operating unit, thereby preventing the T-shaped unit from being forcibly moved to change the elevation angle;

[0028] By using the limiting unit, the rotation range of the active end of the power transmission unit is restricted by the limiting unit, and the rotation range of the active end of the power transmission unit still exceeds the active range formed between the two stop points of the motorized assembly, thereby allowing a larger mechanical error during installation, reducing the difficulty of installation, and also reducing the processing accuracy of parts, thereby reducing the manufacturing and use costs;

[0029] By using the motorized assembly, the linkage can be controlled to bring the T-shaped unit and the antenna on the T-shaped unit to a horizontal position, so that the antenna enters the storage box for storing the antenna, and the storage is completed;

[0030] The power transmission unit can be used to move the motorized component. During the movement of the motorized component, it will encounter the restriction unit and stop, and then the allowable movement range of the restriction unit can be determined, so that the T-shaped unit can be framed at the most stable movement range, thereby improving the operating performance and service life of the device and reducing the difficulty of maintenance.

[0041] Secondly, the present invention is described in detail with reference to the schematic diagram. When describing the embodiments of the present invention in detail, for the sake of convenience, the cross-sectional diagrams showing the device structure will not be partially enlarged according to the general scale, and the schematic diagrams are only examples, which should not limit the scope of protection of the present invention. In addition, in actual production, the three-dimensional dimensions of length, width and depth should be included.

[0042] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the present invention provides an antenna with an automatic storage function, comprising:

[0043] A T-shaped unit 4, the T-shaped unit 4 is screwed to the assembly table 2, and the maximum range of motion of the T-shaped unit 4 is greater than the stable range of motion;

[0044] A motor 7, wherein the motor 7 is located below the assembly platform 2, and a motor assembly 5 is provided on the motor 7;

[0045] The rated range of motion is used to describe the range of motion of the T-shaped unit 4 between the working position and the storage position, and to limit the rotation of the power transmission unit 6 so that the range of motion of the T-shaped unit 4 is limited from the maximum range of motion to the stable range of motion.

[0046] The operating unit 10 can lock the T-shaped unit 4 when it is in the storage position, so that the T-shaped unit 4 cannot move. The operating unit 10 is fixedly connected to the assembly table 2 through the vertical table 2 30.

[0047] The lower limit position of the maximum movable range of the T-shaped unit 4 is lower than the storage position of the T-shaped unit 4. The T-shaped unit 4 is in a horizontal posture when it is in the storage position.

[0048] As a preferred technical solution for an antenna with an automatic storage function, the upper limit position of the maximum movable range of the T-shaped unit 4 exceeds the working position of the T-shaped unit 4, and the movable range of the T-shaped unit 4 from the working position to the position of the assembly table 2 is consistent with the stable movable range;

[0049] The stable range of motion of the T-shaped unit 4 is encompassed by the maximum range of motion.

[0050] A motorized component 5 is provided on the power transmission unit 6, and the power transmission unit 6 is located between the motorized component 5 and the motor 7; the movement of the motorized component 5 within its range of motion can enable the T-shaped unit 4 to move smoothly within the maximum range of motion of the T-shaped unit 4, and when the motorized component 5 reaches its activity stop position, the corresponding T-shaped unit 4 is also at its stop point.

[0051] The motorized component 5 is movably connected to the limiting unit 8, and the rotation range of the active end of the power transmission unit 6 is constrained by the limiting unit 8. The rotation range of the active end of the power transmission unit 6 still exceeds the active range formed between the two stop points of the motorized component 5, thereby allowing larger mechanical errors during installation and reducing the difficulty of installation. At the same time, it also reduces the processing accuracy of parts and components, thereby reducing manufacturing and use costs.

[0052] The motor 7 drives the power transmission unit 6 to operate, and during the operation of the motorized component 5 , the motorized component 5 will come into contact with the limiting unit 8 . The movable range of the power transmission unit 6 between the two limiting units 8 is the maximum movable range allowed by the limiting unit 8 .

[0053] The operating unit 10 comprises an operating table 10.1, a locking subunit 10.2 and a second elastic member 10.3. The second elastic member 10.3 is arranged between the operating table 10.1 and the locking subunit 10.2. When the operating table 10.1 receives a command to stop generating an electric field, the magnetic attraction between the operating table 10.1 and the locking subunit 10.2 is lost, and the second elastic member 10.3 releases pressure to separate the operating table 10.1 and the locking subunit 10.2. The locking subunit 10.2 moves outward from the inner side of the operating table 10.1, and the locking subunit 10.2 hinders the movement of the T-shaped unit 4 and plays a role of limiting.

[0054] The locking subunit 10.2 can also be attracted after the operating table 10.1 receives a command and generates an electric field, thereby overcoming the repulsion of the second elastic member 10.3 and returning to the operating table 10.1, thereby releasing the locking subunit 10.2 from limiting the T-shaped unit 4.

[0055] The locking subunit 10.2 comprises a locking arm 10.21 and a locking channel 10.22. One end of the locking arm 10.21 is milled into an inclined surface.

[0056] The operating unit 10 also includes a locking bolt 10.5 and an upper platform 10.6. The locking bolt 10.5 is connected to the locking subunit 10.2. The upper platform 10.6 limits the movement trajectory of the locking subunit 10.2 and the locking bolt 10.5.

The track groove 10.621 is perpendicular to the locking groove 10.622. When the locking subunit 10.2 is restricted by the operating platform 10.1, the locking bolt 10.5 is restricted inside the locking groove 10.622. The locking bolt 10.5 can be pushed away from the locking groove 10.622 to free the locking bolt 10.5 from locking.

[0064] The maximum range of motion of the T-shaped unit 4 is larger than the stable range of motion, and the stable range of motion is adjusted within the maximum range of motion through the power transmission unit 6;

[0065] The motor 7 can move the motorized component 5 by utilizing the power transmission unit 6. During the movement of the motorized component 5, it will encounter the limiting unit 8 and stop, and then the allowable movement range of the limiting unit 8 can be determined, so that the T-shaped unit 4 can be framed to a stable movement range.

[0071] The movable end of the power transmission unit 6 rotates with rotation.

[0072] When encountering severe weather including strong winds, the motor 7 controls the motor arm 1 5.1 to rotate through the power transmission unit 6, the motor arm 1 5.1 leads the motor arm 2 5.2 to swing, the motor arm 2 5.2 leads the motor arm 3 5.3 to move, the motor arm 3 5.3 pulls the locking bolt 5.4 to swing, the locking bolt 5.4 leads the linkage 3 to rotate, the linkage 3 leads the T-shaped unit 4 and the antenna on the T-shaped unit 4 to a horizontal posture, so that the antenna enters the storage box for storing the antenna.
