[0028] IBT antenna is a type of antenna with specific characteristics and functions. It can focus the transmission and reception of signals in a specific direction, thereby improving the transmission efficiency and distance of the signal. IBT antennas continuously monitor the strength, quality and related parameters of the received and transmitted signals. Since IBT antennas are easily affected by the external environment when installed outdoors, causing shaking, which will cause the IBT antenna signal to attenuate and affect the effect of the IBT antenna. Therefore, how to keep the IBT antenna in the direction of maximum gain requires further research.

[0029] To solve the above problems, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 This solution proposes a stabilizing device 1000, including a base 1, a mounting rod 2, an antenna dish 3 and a follower assembly 4, wherein the mounting rod 2 is movably connected to the base 1; the antenna dish 3 is installed on the mounting rod 2, and a laser 31 is arranged inside the antenna dish 3, and the laser 31 can emit laser to the target body; the follower assembly 4 includes a detection mechanism 41 and a driving component, the detection mechanism 41 is electrically connected to the laser 31 to detect the position of the laser on the target body, the output end of the driving component is connected to the laser 31, and the driving component can drive the laser 31 to adjust the angle relative to the antenna dish 3.

[0030] The technical solution of the present invention is to set a follower component 4 in the antenna pot 3, detect and feedback the shooting point position of the laser emitted by the laser 31 through the detection mechanism 41, and the corresponding controller calculates the deviation between the shooting point and the bull's eye of the target body, and controls the driving component to adjust the laser 31 accordingly, so that the shooting point of the laser can always be located at the bull's eye of the target body. In this way, when installing the IBT antenna, you only need to set the preset installation direction. When the antenna is offset due to the external environment, the installation angle of the antenna is corrected by the stabilization device 1000, so as to ensure that the IBT antenna can always remain in the maximum gain direction and improve the efficiency of the antenna. Specifically, in order to achieve the detection effect of the detection mechanism 41, the detection mechanism 41 includes a laser tracker 411 and an angle sensor 412. The laser tracker 411 is used to track the shooting point position of the laser, and the angle sensor 412 is used to detect the angular position of the laser 31 relative to the antenna pot 3. Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 In actual operation, by starting the laser 31, the laser 31 emits laser light at the bull's eye position of the target body to achieve accurate positioning of the installation angle of the antenna pot 3, thereby facilitating the installation and positioning of the IBT antenna. When the installation direction of the laser 31 of the antenna pot 3 changes due to external environmental reasons, resulting in a certain deviation between the laser shooting point and the bull's eye or fluctuation relative to the bull's eye, in this case, the shooting point position of the laser is detected and fed back by the laser tracker 411, and the angular position of the laser 31 is detected and fed back by the angle sensor 412, so as to timely detect and calculate the position of the laser shooting point from the bull's eye, and the controller controls the driving member to drive the laser 31 to adjust relative to the angle deviation, so that the shooting point position of the laser emitted by the laser 31 is always maintained at the bull's eye position, thereby ensuring that the IBT antenna can be automatically adjusted after installation, so that the installation position of the IBT antenna is always maintained in the maximum gain direction, thereby ensuring the working efficiency of the IBT antenna.

[0031] Furthermore, in order to increase the output power of the laser, the number of lasers 31, laser trackers 411 and angle sensors 412 are each two, and two lasers 31 are installed at intervals on the antenna dish 3. One laser tracker 411 and one angle sensor 412 are used to detect one laser 31. By setting two lasers 31 in the antenna dish 3, when it is necessary to increase the output power and brightness of the laser, by adjusting the output positions of the two lasers 31, the lasers emitted by the two lasers 31 are merged together to form a high-power laser beam, thereby increasing the power of the laser beam output by the antenna dish 3. At the same time, by setting a laser tracker 411 and an angle sensor 412 on each laser 31, the position of each laser 31 is detected respectively, so that the controller can control and adjust the movement of the laser 31 accordingly, so that the two laser beams can always be shot at the center of the target after merging.

[0032] In an optional embodiment, in order to realize the control of the antenna dish 3, the stabilizing device 1000 further includes a control screen 5, which is connected to the mounting rod 2 and is located below the antenna dish 3. The control screen 5 is electrically connected to the laser 31 and the follower assembly 4. Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The control panel 5 can be fixed on the mounting rod 2 through the mounting frame. In this embodiment, the mounting frame includes two arc-shaped flange structures. The two flange structures are spliced ​​to embrace the mounting rod 2, and the flange structures are screwed and fixed with nuts by bolts. This not only ensures the connection and fixation of the control panel 5, but also facilitates the adjustment of the installation height of the control panel 5 on the mounting rod 2. It is only necessary to loosen the nut and then adjust the position of the mounting frame. After adjustment, tighten the nut again to ensure stability. By arranging the control panel 5 on the mounting rod 2, the control panel 5 is electrically connected to the antenna dish 3 and the follower component 4. On the one hand, the control panel 5 can be used to display the waveform of the IBT antenna, so that the operator can understand the working status of the IBT antenna at any time. On the other hand, the control parameters can be manually input through the control panel 5 to realize the manual adjustment of each component in the antenna dish 3.

[0033] In an optional embodiment, in order to achieve mechanical adjustment of the positions of the mounting rod 2 and the antenna dish 3, the stabilizing device 1000 further includes an adjustment component 6, which is mounted on the base 1, and the output end of the adjustment component 6 is connected to the mounting rod 2 to adjust the relative position of the mounting rod 2. In actual use, the IBT antenna may produce some minor deviations due to the influence of the external environment. The automatic correction adjustment can be achieved by fine-tuning the follow-up component 4. By setting the adjustment component 6, the adjustment component 6 adjusts the installation angle of the mounting rod 2 to adjust the installation angle of the antenna dish 3. On the one hand, the antenna dish 3 can be adjusted within a larger angle range, which is convenient for the installation of the antenna dish 3. On the other hand, the antenna dish 3 can be adjusted accordingly according to the use needs of the IBT antenna to adapt to the actual use of the IBT antenna and improve the adaptability of the stabilizing device 1000.

[0034] Specifically, the adjustment assembly 6 includes a first driving member 61 and a second driving member 62. The output end of the first driving member 61 is connected to the mounting rod 2 to drive the mounting rod 2 to rotate relative to the base 1. The output end of the second driving member 62 is connected to the mounting rod 2 to drive the mounting rod 2 to pitch and swing relative to the base 1. Figure 1 and Figure 2In this solution, the first driving member 61 and the second driving member 62 are rotary motors. The first driving member 61 is installed on the base 1 in the vertical direction, and the output end of the first driving member 61 is connected to the mounting rod 2. Optionally, the first driving member 61 and the mounting rod 2 can be driven by gears or belts to transmit the torque of the first driving member 61 to the mounting rod 2, so as to realize the rotation of the mounting rod 2 along the base 1 and thus realize the adjustment of the horizontal installation angle of the antenna dish 3. In this embodiment, belt drive is used between the mounting rod 2 and the first driving member 61, and in other embodiments, it can be selected according to actual needs. Similarly, the output end of the second driving member 62 can also be driven by belts or gears to drive the mounting rod 2 to achieve pitch swing. In this embodiment, since the second driving member 62 is arranged on the base 1 in the horizontal direction, the output end of the second driving member 62 and the mounting rod 2 are driven by gears, which can improve the reliability of the transmission between the two and avoid relative sliding.

[0035] Furthermore, in order to avoid motion interference when the mounting rod 2 rotates and swings, the adjustment assembly 6 also includes a swing rod 63, which is installed on the base 1 in the horizontal direction, the output end of the second driving member 62 is connected to the swing rod 63, and the mounting rod 2 is connected to the swing rod 63. Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 Two mounting seats are arranged at intervals on the base 1, and the swing rod 63 passes through the two mounting seats respectively, and the two ends of the swing rod 63 are respectively clamped on the mounting seats, so that the swing rod 63 can rotate relative to the mounting seats. In this way, by connecting the mounting rod 2 to the swing rod 63, the second driving member 62 drives the swing rod 63 to rotate, thereby realizing the swing adjustment of the mounting rod 2. The mounting rod 2 is arranged on the swing rod 63 in the vertical direction and can rotate relative to the swing rod 63, so that the first driving member 61 drives the mounting rod 2 to rotate relative to the swing rod 63. In this process, the rotation and swing of the mounting rod 2 are respectively generated by the rotation of the mounting rod 2 itself and the swing rod 63 drives the mounting rod 2 to swing. In this way, even if the mounting rod 2 needs to be rotated and swung at the same time, no interference will occur, which ensures the independence of the movement of the mounting rod 2 during the horizontal adjustment and pitch adjustment process, so that the adjustment of the installation angle of the antenna dish 3 can be smoother.

[0036] In an optional embodiment, in order to provide buffering when the mounting rod 2 is adjusted in pitch to ensure stability during the adjustment process, the adjustment assembly 6 further includes a buffer mechanism 64, which includes a connecting plate 641 and a buffer member 642. The buffer plate is arranged parallel to the base 1, and the buffer member 642 is arranged between the base 1 and the connecting plate 641 in the vertical direction. The two ends of the buffer member 642 are respectively in contact with the base 1 and the connecting plate 641. Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The buffer member 642 is arranged on one radial side of the rocker arm 63. When the second driving member 62 drives the rocker arm 63 to rotate, the connecting plate 641 is deflected at an angle relative to the base 1, so that the connecting plate 641 squeezes the buffer member 642, so that the mounting rod 2 can be relatively smooth when it pitches and swings. In addition, the buffer member 642 can also provide buffering when the stabilizing device 1000 as a whole shakes or wobbles, thereby preventing the stabilizing device 1000 from generating a large rigid impact.

[0037] Furthermore, the buffer 642 includes two, and the two buffers 642 are respectively located on opposite sides of the mounting rod 2 in the radial direction. By arranging the buffers 642 on both the left and right sides of the swing rod 63, when the buffer 642 on one side is squeezed by the connecting plate 641, the buffer 642 on the other side is stretched to generate a pulling force on the connecting plate 641, so that when the swing rod 63 rotates, the buffers 642 on both sides generate forces in opposite directions on the connecting plate 641, further improving the stability of the connecting plate 641 during pitching and swinging, and making the mounting rod 2 more gentle during pitching and swinging. In this embodiment, the buffer 642 is a spring, and in other embodiments, the buffer 642 can also be rubber or silicone, which can be selected according to actual needs.

[0038] In an optional embodiment, in order to further ensure the stability of the mounting rod 2 during pitch adjustment, the stabilizing device 1000 further includes a guide member 7, the connecting plate 641 is formed with a through hole, the guide member 7 is clamped in the through hole, the mounting rod 2 is penetrated by the guide member 7, and the guide member 7 can slide along the extension direction of the through hole when the mounting rod 2 is pitched and swung. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The guide member 7 is sleeved on the mounting rod 2 and clamped in the through hole of the connecting plate 641. The guide member 7 can slide along the extending direction of the through hole. When the second driving member 62 drives the swing rod 63 to rotate, the mounting rod 2 will pitch and move accordingly, thereby driving the guide member 7 to squeeze the connecting plate 641, causing it to pitch and swing, thereby squeezing the buffer member 642 on one side, and the buffer member 642 also applies a reaction force to the connecting plate 641, so that the pitch and swing of the mounting rod 2 remain relatively gentle. Thereby, the stabilizing effect of the stabilizing device 1000 is improved.

[0039] The working principle of the stabilizing device 1000 in this solution is described in detail below:

[0040] The stabilizing device 1000 in this solution has two control modes: manual adjustment and automatic adjustment. When the stabilizing device 1000 is in the manual adjustment state, the control panel 5 manually controls the movement of the driving member, the first driving member 61 and the second driving member 62 to adjust the shooting point position of the laser 31 up and down or left and right. When the stabilizing device 1000 is in the automatic adjustment state, the stabilizing device 1000 enters the IBT control mode, and the controller analyzes and calculates the detection result of the detection mechanism 41, and correspondingly controls the driving member, the first driving member 61 and the second driving member 62 to move left and right or up and down relative to the bull's eye. The follower assembly 4 detects and adjusts the laser 31 and the shooting point position of the laser at any time, so that even if the mounting rod 2 is in a moving state, it can ensure that the shooting point position of the laser is always kept at the bull's eye. In addition, by arranging two lasers 31 in the antenna pot 3, dual-channel transmission of the laser is realized. When the power of the laser needs to be increased, the transmission path of the laser can also be changed by means of galvanometer reflection and zooming, so that the two laser beams are combined into one laser beam to increase the power of the laser.

[0041] The above are only exemplary embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural changes made using the contents of the present invention's specification and drawings, or directly / indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
