In this process, since one end of the second transmission component 45 is movably connected to the side plate 436, the second transmission component 45 can drive the articulated seat 46 to move during the movement of the movable seat 482, thereby adjusting the position of the connecting seat 47, and then adjusting the position and angle of the antenna 3. When it is located at a predetermined position, the first transmission component 44 starts to work. At this time, another driving component 43 can drive the connecting ear 443 to rotate, and the moving connecting ear 443 can drive the third transmission rod 441 to move. The moving third transmission rod 441 can drive the driving member 442 to move. At this time, the height of the driving rod 481 remains unchanged. The driving member 442 drives the support rod 483 to move, thereby adjusting the angle between the movable seat 482 and the driving rod 481, thereby adjusting the position of the hinge seat 46 and the connecting seat 47. Through the coordinated use of the first transmission component 44 and the second transmission component 45, the adjustment of the angle of the antenna 3 is completed, and then the downtilt angle of the antenna 3 can be adjusted according to the actual situation, so that it can avoid the same-frequency interference of the antenna 3 and adjust the coverage range of the antenna 3.

Since the second gear ring 435 is sleeved on the rotating seat 433, the moving second gear ring 435 can drive the rotating seat 433 to move, thereby driving the first transmission component 44 or the second transmission component 45 on the corresponding rotating seat 433 to move. The moving first transmission component 44 and the second transmission component 45 can adjust the position and angle of the antenna 3, so that it can avoid the same-frequency interference between the antennas 3 while also enabling it to obtain the maximum coverage range.

[0059] The connecting portion 434 includes a connecting shaft 4341 for connecting the two rotating seats 433, and three ball bearings 4342 sleeved on the connecting shaft 4341; wherein the inner ring of the ball bearing 4342 is arranged on the connecting shaft 4341, and the outer ring of the ball bearing 4342 is connected to the rotating seat 433, wherein a ball bearing 4342 is provided on the first placement seat, and the remaining two ball bearings 4342 are located on the second placement seat; there is a predetermined gap between the two rotating seats 433 in the axial direction, and the two rotating seats 433 are provided with grooves at the opposite positions, and a driven block 4343 is provided between the two rotating seats 433 and is respectively located in the grooves on the two rotating seats 433; wherein the driven block 4343 is fixedly connected to the second placement seat and abuts against the first placement seat; when one of the driving components 43 starts to work, the moving driving component Component 43 can drive the second placement seat to rotate. At this time, since the driven block 4343 is fixedly installed on the second placement seat, when the second placement seat starts to rotate, the moving second placement seat can drive the driven block 4343 to move together. At this time, the moving driven block 4343 can drive the driving rod 481 to rotate, and then the moving driving rod 481 can make the transmission part 48 move, thereby ensuring the transmission of the movement and completing the adjustment of the angle and position of the antenna 3; and through the setting of the connecting shaft 4341 and the ball bearing 4342, the first placement seat and the second placement seat can be made independent of each other and do not interfere with each other, so that the driving component 43 can drive the corresponding first placement seat and the second placement seat to rotate, thereby completing the adjustment of the position of the antenna 3 and avoiding interference between the two, which leads to failure of the adjustment work.

[0061] The first transmission assembly 44 includes a connecting ear 443 arranged on the first placement seat, a driving member 442 arranged at the other end of the support rod 483, and a third transmission rod 441 used to connect the connecting ear 443 and the driving member 442 and movably connected to the connecting ear 443 and the driving member 442 respectively; the driving member 442 is L-shaped; when the first transmission assembly 44 is required to start moving, the first placement seat can be in a rotating state through the cooperation of the set driving motor 431, the adjusting gear 432 and the second gear ring 435, so that the first placement seat can be driven to rotate, and then the moving connecting ear 443 can drive the third transmission rod 441 movably connected thereto to move, and then the moving third transmission rod 441 can drive the support rod 483 to move through the set driving member 442, so that the support rod 483 can rotate along the connection between the movable seat 482 and the driving rod 481, thereby adjusting the position of the articulated seat 46 and completing the position adjustment of the antenna 3.

[0062] The second transmission assembly 45 includes a first transmission rod 451 movably connected to the side plate 436 away from the connecting ear 443, a rotating disk 452 movably connected to the first transmission rod 451, and a second transmission rod 454 movably connected to the rotating disk 452, the other end of the second transmission rod 454 is arranged on the movable part; the rotating disk 452 is arranged on the movable seat 482 and movably connected to the movable seat 482; the rotating disk 452 is a triangular structure; when the driving rod 481 starts to work, the position of the movable seat 482 can be adjusted. The first transmission rod 451 in the transmission assembly 45 is movably connected to the side plate 436 and one end of the second transmission rod 454 is movably connected to the hinged seat 46. Therefore, when the movable seat 482 moves, a relative displacement occurs between the rotating disk 452 and the movable seat 482. Then, through the cooperation of the first transmission rod 451 and the second transmission rod 454, the angle of the antenna 3 can be adjusted during the process of adjusting the height of the antenna 3, so that it can ensure that the antenna 3 can transmit or receive signals while covering a larger range, so that the base station antenna 3 can work normally.

[0063] In a further embodiment, by setting up a first transmission component 44 and a second transmission component 45, when one of the driving components 43 starts to work, the moving driving component 43 can change the position of the driving rod 481, thereby changing the angle between the driving rod 481 and the axis of the column 1, changing the top height of the driving rod 481, thereby changing the height of the supporting point between the support rod 483 and the driving rod 481, so that when the driving rod 481 starts to work, the height and angle of the antenna 3 can be greatly adjusted, and when the first transmission component 44 starts to work, since the height of the driving rod 481 is constant, when it works, the position of the antenna 3 is adjusted based on the height of the driving rod 481, so that the antenna 3 can be adjusted in sections, so that it can ensure that the antennas 3 do not interfere with each other and still have a certain coverage range.

[0065] In a further embodiment, in order to prevent water droplets from remaining on the antenna 3 when it rains, a super-hydrophobic coating is applied on the surface of the antenna 3 to reduce rain attenuation caused by water droplets remaining on the surface of the antenna 3. However, since the antenna 3 is outdoors for a long time, stones or other objects may collide with the antenna 3 in bad weather, causing the coating to fall off. Or when the coating is applied, there may be missing points or concave areas on the surface of the antenna 3, causing water droplets to remain, resulting in the failure of the antenna 3 to receive or transmit signals.

[0066] In order to solve the above problems, the device is provided with a purge unit 5, which is located on the frame 2. The number of the purge units 5 is the same as the number of the mounting units 4 and is located on one side of the antenna 3; the purge unit 5 includes a mounting frame 51 fixedly connected to the frame 2, a pop-up motor 52 and a blowing device 56 arranged in the mounting frame 51, a transmission shaft 53 arranged at the output end of the pop-up motor 52, a pop-up rod 54 sleeved on the transmission shaft 53, an air nozzle 55 arranged on the pop-up rod 54, and a connecting pipe 57 connected to the air outlet end of the blowing device 56; an air duct is opened in the pop-up rod 54, and one end of the air duct is connected to the air nozzle 55; the connecting pipe 57 is a spiral shaped hose structure, the air outlet end of the connecting pipe 57 is connected to the air inlet end of the air duct; a slide plate 58 is also slidably provided on the installation frame 51, a mounting ear 59 is provided on the slide plate 58, and a torsion spring 510 for connecting the mounting ear 59 and the pop-up rod 54; wherein the pop-up rod 54 is a spiral structure; there is a predetermined angle between the length direction of the torsion spring 510 and the height direction of the installation frame 51, so that when the pop-up motor 52 rotates, the transmission shaft 53 and the torsion spring 510 are provided, so that the air nozzle 55 on the pop-up rod 54 first moves a predetermined distance into the installation frame 51, and then extends out of the installation frame 51; at this time, the length direction of the installation frame 51 is horizontal with the length direction of the antenna 3, so The blast device 56 may be provided with a heating unit. The blast device 56 and the heating unit are prior art and can generate hot air with a predetermined temperature. When it is necessary to clean the water droplets remaining on the antenna 3, the pop-up motor 52 starts to work. The moving pop-up motor 52 can make the pop-up rod 54 rotate around the transmission shaft 53. In this process, since there is a predetermined angle between the length direction of the torsion spring 510 and the height direction of the installation frame 51, in the initial stage of the movement of the pop-up rod 54, one end of the pop-up rod 54 equipped with the air nozzle 55 approaches the bottom of the installation frame 51, and then, with the cooperation of the torsion spring 510 and the drive motor 431, a phase occurs between the slide plate 58 and the installation frame 51. For displacement, an active groove for the movement of the pop-up rod 54 is formed between the slide plate 58 and the mounting frame 51. At this time, the pop-up rod 54 moves in the opposite direction and extends out of the mounting frame 51, so that the position of the air nozzle 55 can be adjusted, and then the blowing device 56 starts to work. The moving blowing device 56 can generate airflow, and the airflow enters the air duct along the connecting pipe 57 and is ejected from the air nozzle 55, so that the water droplets attached to the antenna 3 can be removed.

[0069] Working principle description: when the base 41 is installed on the frame 2, in order to ensure the safety of the installers, the antenna 3 is mostly located inside the frame 2. After the antenna 3 and its parts are assembled, the rotating motor 422 starts to work. The moving rotating motor 422 can drive the driving gear 423 connected thereto to rotate, and then the moving driving gear 423 can drive the first gear ring 421 to rotate, and the moving first gear ring 421 can drive the rotating disk 424 to move, thereby adjusting the position of the antenna 3 so that it can extend out of the frame 2, completing the adjustment of the position of the frame 2; at the same time, through the provided rotating disk 424, the antenna 3 can be retracted to when the antenna 3 is damaged. In the frame 2, the antenna 3 is prevented from falling during the disassembly process; when it is necessary to drive the first transmission component 44 or the second transmission component 45 to move, the driving motor 431 starts to work, and the moving driving motor 431 can drive the adjusting gear 432 connected thereto to rotate, and then the moving adjusting gear 432 can drive the second gear ring 435 meshing therewith to rotate. Since the second gear ring 435 is sleeved on the rotating seat 433, the moving second gear ring 435 can drive the rotating seat 433 to move, thereby driving the first transmission component 44 or the second transmission component 45 on the corresponding rotating seat 433 to move, and the moving first transmission component 44 and the second transmission component 4 5 can adjust the position and angle of the antenna 3, so that it can avoid the same-frequency interference between the antennas 3 and obtain the maximum coverage range; when the first transmission assembly 44 needs to start moving, the first placement seat can be rotated through the cooperation of the set driving motor 431, the adjustment gear 432 and the second gear ring 435, so that the first placement seat can be in a rotating state, thereby driving the connecting ear 443 to rotate, and then the moving connecting ear 443 can drive the third transmission rod 441 movably connected thereto to move, and then the moving third transmission rod 441 can drive the support rod 483 to move through the set driving member 442, so that the support rod 483 can move along the movable The connection between the seat 482 and the driving rod 481 is rotated, so as to adjust the position of the hinge seat 46, and complete the position adjustment of the antenna 3; when one of the driving components 43 starts to work, the moving driving component 43 can drive the second placement seat to rotate. At this time, since the driven block 4343 is fixedly installed on the second placement seat, when the second placement seat starts to rotate, the moving second placement seat can drive the driven block 4343 to move together. At this time, the moving driven block 4343 can drive the driving rod 481 to rotate, and then the moving driving rod 481 can make the transmission part 48 move, thereby ensuring the transmission of the motion, and completing the adjustment of the angle and position of the antenna 3;By setting the connecting shaft 4341 and the ball bearing 4342, the first placement seat and the second placement seat can be made independent of each other without interfering with each other, so that the driving component 43 can drive the corresponding first placement seat and the second placement seat to rotate, thereby completing the adjustment of the position of the antenna 3, avoiding interference between the two and causing failure of the adjustment work; when the driving rod 481 starts to move, the moving driving rod 481 can drive the movable seat 482 to move, and when the driving rod 481 starts to move, the moving driving rod 481 can drive the movable seat 482 to move, thereby changing the axial direction of the movable seat 482 and the driving rod 481 The angle on the support rod 483 can be raised or lowered to complete the adjustment of the position of the antenna 3; when the driving rod 481 starts to work, the position of the movable seat 482 can be adjusted. Since the first transmission rod 451 in the second transmission assembly 45 is movably connected to the side plate 436 and one end of the second transmission rod 454 is movably connected to the hinged seat 46, when the movable seat 482 moves, a relative displacement occurs between the rotating disk 452 and the movable seat 482. Then, through the cooperation of the first transmission rod 451 and the second transmission rod 454, the angle of the antenna 3 can also be adjusted during the process of adjusting the height of the antenna 3, so that it can ensure that the antenna 3 is in a stable state. 3 can transmit or receive signals while covering a larger range, so that the base station antenna 3 can work normally; when it is necessary to clean the water droplets remaining on the antenna 3, the pop-up motor 52 starts to work, and the moving pop-up motor 52 can make the pop-up rod 54 rotate around the transmission shaft 53. In this process, since there is a predetermined angle between the length direction of the torsion spring 510 and the height direction of the installation frame 51, in the initial stage of the movement of the pop-up rod 54, one end of the pop-up rod 54 equipped with the air nozzle 55 approaches the bottom of the installation frame 51, and then under the cooperation of the torsion spring 510 and the driving motor 431, a relative displacement occurs between the slide plate 58 and the installation frame 51. When the sliding plate 58 and the mounting frame 51 form an active groove for the pop-up rod 54 to move, the pop-up rod 54 moves in the opposite direction and extends out of the mounting frame 51, so that the position of the air nozzle 55 can be adjusted, and then the blowing device 56 starts to work. The moving blowing device 56 can generate airflow, which enters the air duct along the connecting pipe 57 and is ejected from the air nozzle 55, so that the water droplets attached to the antenna 3 can be removed. By using a non-contact water drop removal method, the water drop removal process can avoid affecting the work of the antenna 3. At the same time, the heating part is set to avoid the formation of crushed ice on the antenna 3 when the temperature is low, so as to ensure the normal operation of the antenna 3. ;
