Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of telescopic antennas, and in particular relates to an assembling tool and method for a telescopic antenna. Background Art

[0002] Antenna is a converter that converts the guided wave propagating on the transmission line into electromagnetic waves propagating in an unbounded medium (usually free space), or vice versa. It is a component used to transmit or receive electromagnetic waves in radio equipment. Among them, the telescopic antenna is an important antenna.

[0003] In the related art, the telescopic antenna includes multiple antenna tubes with different diameters, and two adjacent antenna tubes are connected through a liner. Among them, multiple sealing rings are arranged inside and outside the liner sleeve. The liner sleeve is arranged outside one end of the small-diameter antenna tube, and the outer periphery of the liner has an external thread, and one end of the large-diameter antenna tube has an internal thread. The liner and the large-diameter antenna tube are threaded together, so that the connection and sealing between the two adjacent antenna tubes are finally achieved through the liner.

[0004] However, when the telescopic antenna is connected to the liner and the large-diameter antenna tube, it is difficult to screw the liner due to the obstruction of the sealing ring and the small gap between the mating surfaces. Therefore, a wrench needs to be used during the screwing process, and a large force is applied, which can easily damage the coating on the surface of the liner. At the same time, applying force with one arm will cause uneven force on the liner, which will also cause damage to the liner. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of the above defects or improvement needs of the prior art, the present invention provides an assembly tool and method for a telescopic antenna, the purpose of which is to conveniently complete the assembly of the telescopic antenna through the assembly tool, which can not only effectively avoid damage to the coating on the surface of the liner, but also achieve uniform force on the liner to avoid damage to the liner.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned object, in a first aspect, the present invention provides an assembly tool for a telescopic antenna, the assembly tool comprising a positioning assembly and two arms;

[0007] The positioning assembly includes two first connection units, two second connection units and at least two positioning pins. The two first connection units and the two second connection units are arranged opposite to each other, and both ends of each first connection unit are detachably connected to the two second connection units to form a frame structure. Each positioning pin is inserted into the corresponding first connection unit and threadedly matched with the first connection unit. One end of each positioning pin located in the frame structure is used to be inserted into the positioning hole of the liner.

[0008] Each of the supporting arms is detachably and vertically fixed on the corresponding second connecting unit, and one end of each of the supporting arms extends away from the second connecting unit.

[0009] Optionally, each of the first connecting units is a U-shaped structure, each of the first connecting units includes a mounting portion and two connecting portions, each of the connecting portions is inserted with a first connecting bolt to connect to the corresponding second connecting unit, and each of the positioning pins is located on the corresponding mounting portion.

[0010] Optionally, each of the connecting parts is a stepped structure, and the mounting part and the two connecting parts are integrally formed.

[0011] Optionally, the second connection unit has a plurality of threaded holes arranged at intervals, and each of the arms is movably inserted with a plurality of second connection bolts, and each of the second connection bolts is inserted in a corresponding threaded hole.

[0012] Optionally, the second connecting unit is a triangular structure.

[0013] Optionally, each of the supporting arms has a plurality of weight-reducing holes arranged at intervals.

[0014] Optionally, one end of each support arm facing away from the positioning assembly is arc-shaped.

[0015] In a second aspect, the present invention provides an assembly method for a telescopic antenna. The assembly method is based on the assembly tool for a telescopic antenna described in the first aspect, and the assembly method comprises:

[0016] Cleaning a plurality of antenna tubes and a plurality of liner tubes, and sleeve the liner tube on one of the antenna tubes;

[0017] Connecting two of the first connection units and two of the second connection units, and installing corresponding arms on the second connection units;

[0018] Inserting the corresponding positioning pin on each of the first connecting units, and placing the liner in the frame structure so that each of the positioning pins is screwed and inserted into the corresponding positioning hole on the liner;

[0019] The liner tube is coaxially pushed into the other antenna tube by the two supporting arms and screwed until the threaded fit between the liner tube and the other antenna tube is completed;

[0020] Repeat the above steps until a plurality of antenna tubes are connected.

[0021] The above-mentioned improved technical features can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0022] In general, compared with the prior art, the above technical solution conceived by the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0023] For an assembly tool for a telescopic antenna provided in an embodiment of the present invention, when assembling the telescopic antenna, first, clean multiple antenna tubes and multiple liner tubes, and sleeve the liner tube on one antenna tube, so as to achieve the connection between the small-diameter antenna tube and the liner tube. Then, connect two first connection units and two second connection units, and install the corresponding support arms on the second connection units, so as to preliminarily assemble the assembly tool. Next, insert the corresponding positioning pins on each first connection unit, and place the liner tube in the frame structure, so that each positioning pin is screwed and inserted into the corresponding positioning hole on the liner tube. The positioning between the assembly tool and the liner tube can be finally achieved through the insertion and matching of the positioning pins and the positioning holes on the liner tube. At this time, the operation of the liner tube can be achieved by operating the assembly tool. Then, the liner tube is coaxially pushed into another antenna tube through two support arms and screwed until the threaded matching of the liner tube and the other antenna tube is completed. Since the positioning assembly can be screwed more conveniently by operating the two arms, the positioning assembly will be brought to the liner for screwing. At this time, the liner is subjected to force more evenly through the two arms, and the liner will not be damaged. In the process of screwing the arms, the coating on the surface of the liner will not be damaged, so that the connection between two adjacent antenna tubes can be completed through the liner. Finally, the above steps are repeated until multiple antenna tubes are connected, so as to finally and conveniently complete the assembly of the telescopic antenna.

[0024] That is to say, the embodiment of the present invention provides an assembly tool for a telescopic antenna, through which the assembly of the telescopic antenna can be easily completed, which can not only effectively avoid damage to the coating on the surface of the liner, but also achieve uniform force on the liner to avoid damage to the liner.

[0037] Example:

[0038] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a structure of an assembly tool for a telescopic antenna provided by an embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the assembly tool comprises a positioning assembly 1 and two supporting arms 2 .

[0039] The positioning assembly 1 includes two first connection units 11, two second connection units 12 and at least two positioning pins 13. The two first connection units 11 and the two second connection units 12 are arranged relative to each other, and the two ends of each first connection unit 11 are detachably connected to the two second connection units 12 to form a frame structure. Each positioning pin 13 is inserted into the corresponding first connection unit 11 and threadedly matched with the first connection unit 11. One end of each positioning pin 13 located in the frame structure is used for being inserted into the positioning hole of the liner.

[0040] Each support arm 2 is detachably fixed vertically on the corresponding second connecting unit 12 , and one end of each support arm 2 extends away from the second connecting unit 12 .

[0041] For an assembly tool for a telescopic antenna provided in an embodiment of the present invention, when assembling the telescopic antenna, first, clean multiple antenna tubes and multiple liner tubes, and sleeve the liner tube on one antenna tube, so as to achieve the connection between the small-diameter antenna tube and the liner tube. Then, connect two first connection units 11 and two second connection units 12, and install the corresponding support arms 2 on the second connection units 12, so as to preliminarily assemble the assembly tool. Next, insert the corresponding positioning pins 13 on each first connection unit 11, and place the liner tube in the frame structure, so that each positioning pin 13 is screwed and inserted into the corresponding positioning hole on the liner tube. The positioning between the assembly tool and the liner tube can be finally achieved through the insertion and matching of the positioning pins 13 and the positioning holes on the liner tube. At this time, the operation of the liner tube can be achieved by operating the assembly tool. Then, the liner tube is coaxially pushed into another antenna tube through two support arms 2 and screwed until the threaded matching of the liner tube and the other antenna tube is completed. Since the positioning assembly 1 can be screwed more conveniently by operating the two arms 2, the positioning assembly 1 will be screwed to the liner, and the liner is now subjected to force more evenly through the two arms 2, without damaging the liner, and the coating on the surface of the liner will not be damaged during the screwing of the arms 2, thereby finally completing the connection of two adjacent antenna tubes through the liner. Finally, the above steps are repeated until multiple antenna tubes are connected, thereby finally completing the assembly of the telescopic antenna conveniently.

[0042] That is to say, the embodiment of the present invention provides an assembly tool for a telescopic antenna, through which the assembly of the telescopic antenna can be easily completed, which can not only effectively avoid damage to the coating on the surface of the liner, but also achieve uniform force on the liner to avoid damage to the liner.

[0043] It is easy to understand that, since the positioning pin 13 is threadedly matched with the first connecting unit 11, the positioning pin 13 can be screwed to different insertion depths to achieve the insertion of liner tubes of different (diameter) sizes (the liner tube sizes between two adjacent antenna tubes on the telescopic antenna are different), thereby achieving the universality of the assembly tool, that is, it can adapt to the screwing work of liner tubes with five different outer diameter sizes from Φ50 to Φ135. In addition, the assembly tool can be disassembled into multiple units when not in use, which is convenient for disassembly, assembly and carrying, greatly ensuring product quality and improving work efficiency.

[0044] Furthermore, since the assembly tool can be reliably positioned with the liner and can be held with both hands, it will not accidentally fall, and the problem of injuring personnel and equipment due to falling when using a large rotational force can be effectively avoided.

[0045] Exemplarily, the frame structure can be a square structure, in which the two first connection units 11 play the role of positioning the liner through the positioning pins 13, and the two second connection units 12 play the role of convenient screwing through the support arms 2, thereby achieving a reasonable layout of the frame structure and reliable force.

[0046] It should be noted that, in the process of twisting the two arms 2, if the hands are not strong enough, a nylon rod and a hammer can be used to gently knock the liner to the upper end of the corresponding antenna tube. In addition, multiple antenna tubes with different diameters are installed and sleeved in sequence from the inside to the outside.

[0047] Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the first connection unit provided in an embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 2 As shown, each first connection unit 11 is a U-shaped structure, and each first connection unit 11 includes a mounting portion 111 and two connecting portions 112 . Each connecting portion 112 is inserted with a first connecting bolt 113 to connect to the corresponding second connection unit 12 . Each positioning pin 13 is located on the corresponding mounting portion 111 .

[0048] In the above embodiment, the mounting portion 111 serves to position the positioning pin 13 , and each connecting portion 112 serves to connect to the corresponding second connecting unit 12 through the first connecting bolt 113 .

[0049] Exemplarily, the mounting portion 111 has a threaded hole, and the middle portion of the positioning pin 13 has an external thread to achieve cooperation with the threaded hole. Each mounting portion 111 may be provided with multiple positioning pins 13, which can correspond to positioning holes at different positions and orientations on the liner.

[0050] Furthermore, each connecting portion 112 has a stepped structure, and the mounting portion 111 and the two connecting portions 112 are integrally formed, thereby increasing the connection strength between the mounting portion 111 and the connecting portions 112 , and further increasing the structural strength of the entire first connecting unit 11 .

[0051] Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the second connection unit provided in an embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 3 As shown, the second connecting unit 12 has a plurality of threaded holes 121 arranged at intervals, and each arm 2 is movably inserted with a plurality of second connecting bolts 21, and each second connecting bolt 21 is inserted in a corresponding threaded hole 121, so that a reliable connection between the arm 2 and the second connecting unit 12 is achieved through the plurality of second connecting bolts 21.

[0052] Furthermore, the second connection unit 12 is a triangular structure. The triangular structure is strong and has a large area, which is convenient for processing and setting a plurality of threaded holes 121.

[0053] Exemplarily, the upper side of the second connecting unit 12 also has a plurality of step structures.

[0054] Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the support arm provided in an embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 4As shown, each support arm 2 has a plurality of weight-reducing holes 22 arranged at intervals, thereby reducing the weight of the support arm 2 and facilitating carrying.

[0055] In addition, one end of each support arm 2 facing away from the positioning assembly 1 is arc-shaped, thereby reducing the risk of the support arm 2 injuring the operator or colliding and damaging other objects during use.

[0056] Figure 5 is a flow chart of an assembly method for a telescopic antenna provided by an embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 5 As shown, the assembly method is based on the above-mentioned assembly tool for a telescopic antenna, and the assembly method includes:

[0057] S1. Clean multiple antenna tubes and multiple liner tubes, and set a liner tube on one antenna tube.

[0058] In the above embodiment, cleaning the plurality of antenna tubes and the plurality of liner tubes can ensure their cleanliness before assembly. In addition, after cleaning, drying treatment is required to avoid water stains.

[0059] S2, connecting two first connection units 11 and two second connection units 12, and installing corresponding supporting arms 2 on the second connection units 12.

[0060] S3. Insert the corresponding positioning pins 13 on each first connection unit 11, and place a liner in the frame structure so that each positioning pin 13 is screwed and inserted into the corresponding positioning hole on the liner.

[0061] S4. Use two arms 2 to coaxially push the liner tube into another antenna tube and screw it until the threads of the liner tube and the other antenna tube are fully matched.

[0062] S5. Repeat the above steps until multiple antenna tubes are connected.

[0063] An assembly method for a telescopic antenna provided in an embodiment of the present invention can conveniently complete the assembly of the telescopic antenna by using an assembly tool, which can not only effectively avoid damage to the coating on the surface of the liner, but also achieve uniform force application on the liner to avoid damage to the liner.

[0064] In addition, after the telescopic antenna is assembled, just remove the assembly tool.

[0065] It will be easily understood by those skilled in the art that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
