[0002] With the development of meteorological detection, wind profiler radar technology has emerged. This technology has the characteristics of high-precision monitoring and early warning of disastrous weather, which is crucial to protecting people’s economic and property safety, and has led to the overall planning of the layout of wind profiler radar station networks.

[0003] In the related art, the antenna support and protection is usually in the form of an antenna base and a fence, which are usually made of steel round tubes, square tubes, channel steels and steel plates, and assembled by welding and screwing. Although this method has a stable structure, it is heavy overall, which brings inconvenience to transportation and installation.

[0014] In one of the embodiments, the leveling component is assembled on the top of the connecting member, and the top surface of the leveling component is against the ground of the antenna to adjust the installation angle of the antenna.

[0015] In one embodiment, the frame portion of the protection mechanism is a mesh frame structure, which is assembled and connected by rust-proof aluminum profiles, right-angle connectors and anchor-type connecting pins to form a frame structure; the mesh is partially connected to the frame and the mesh is detachable, and the mesh is provided with holes for filtering.

[0016] In one embodiment, the pulling mechanism includes a lifting eye screw, a wire rope clamp, a wire rope, a basket bolt and a possible expansion bolt connected in sequence, wherein one end of the wire rope is connected to the protective mechanism through the lifting eye screw, and the other end is connected to the base surface through the basket bolt and the possible expansion bolt.

[0048] The support and protection system for an antenna of the present invention comprises a support mechanism 1, a protection mechanism 2 and a pulling mechanism 3, wherein an antenna 4 is installed on the top of the support mechanism 1, surrounded by the protection mechanism 2, and pulled by the pulling mechanism 3 on the periphery of the protection mechanism 2, so as to support and protect the antenna in the system.

[0049] In some embodiments, the support mechanism 1 is disposed on a base surface (not shown in the figure, the base surface may be the ground or the deck surface), and the function of the support mechanism 1 is to assemble and support the antenna 4;

[0050] Furthermore, the support mechanism 1 has a support frame, and the columns 101, the cross beams 102 and the reinforcing beams 103 of the support frame are connected to each other through the connecting plates 104;

[0051] Furthermore, the columns 101 are based on the foundation surface and provide vertical support, and the cross beams 102 and the reinforcing beams 103 are connected to the columns 101 to form a stable support frame.

[0052] In this embodiment, the columns 101, the cross beams 102 and the reinforcing beams 103 are all made of rust-proof aluminum profiles. The selection of such materials ensures structural strength while achieving a lightweight design.

[0053] In this embodiment, the connecting plate 104 is used as a connecting member, and the column 101, the cross beam 102 and the reinforcing beam 103 are tightly connected together by fasteners (such as bolts) to ensure the stability of the structure.

[0054] In addition, the support mechanism 1 further includes a leveling component 105, which is mounted on the top of the support frame, specifically on the top of the connecting plate 104. The top surface of the leveling component 105 abuts against the bottom surface of the antenna, and is used to adjust the installation angle of the antenna to meet different detection requirements.

[0055] In some embodiments, the protection mechanism 2 is mounted on the support mechanism 1 and arranged around the antenna 4 .

[0056] Furthermore, the protection mechanism 2 includes a frame portion, which is a mesh frame 201 , and a mesh sheet 202 connected to the mesh frame 201 .

[0057] Furthermore, the mesh 202 is partially connected to the frame portion 201 and the mesh 202 is detachable for easy replacement or maintenance. The mesh 202 is provided with filter holes, which can shield clutter, reduce interference to radar detection, and improve detection accuracy.

[0058] In this embodiment, the mesh frame 201 is assembled and connected by rust-proof aluminum profiles, right-angle connectors and anchor-type connecting pins to form a stable frame structure.

[0059] In this embodiment, the material of the mesh 202 is a rust-proof aluminum plate, and the filter holes of corresponding sizes are processed by laser cutting technology.

[0060] In some embodiments, the pulling mechanism 3 is connected between the protection mechanism 2 and the base surface to limit the displacement of the protection mechanism 2 affected by the external environment.

[0061] Furthermore, the pulling mechanism 3 includes a lifting eye screw 301, a wire rope clamp 302, a wire rope 303, a turnbuckle bolt 304 and an expansion bolt 305 connected in sequence. One end of the wire rope 303 is connected to the upper end of the protection mechanism 2 through the lifting eye screw 301, and the other end is connected to the foundation surface through the turnbuckle bolt 304 and the expansion bolt 305.

[0062] Furthermore, the turnbuckle bolt 304 can be used to adjust the tension of the wire rope 303 to ensure the stability and effectiveness of the pulling mechanism 3.

[0063] In other embodiments, a method for assembling a support and protection system for an antenna is provided, comprising the following steps:

[0064] Assembling the support mechanism 1 on the foundation surface, including connecting the column 101, the cross beam 102 and the reinforcing beam 103 to each other through the connecting plate 104 to form a support frame, and installing the leveling component 105 to adjust the installation inclination angle of the antenna;

[0070]

[0071] It can be clearly seen from Table 1 that in the technical solution of this embodiment, the weight of the supporting mechanism 1 and the protecting mechanism 2 is significantly less than that of the traditional solution. This embodiment achieves lightweighting of the overall device while ensuring structural strength.

[0072] In actual work, the support mechanism 1, the protection mechanism 2 and the pulling mechanism 3 in the present invention are adapted and adjusted accordingly according to the structural appearance and size changes of the antenna 4 itself to ensure the stability and coordination of the entire system; at the same time, in terms of material selection, rust-proof aluminum profiles are used in this embodiment to provide excellent corrosion resistance and structural strength; however, in order to meet the special needs of specific projects, these components can also be replaced with other customized or standard aluminum tube materials, and high-strength non-metallic materials, such as special synthetic plastics or composite materials, can also be used to further broaden the scope of application and reduce costs;

[0073] In addition, the shapes of the supporting mechanism 1 and the protecting mechanism 2 are also flexible; although quadrilaterals are a common choice, they can be easily replaced with polygonal or circular designs according to the specific requirements of the project to adapt to different installation environments; the connecting plate 104 is a key connecting component in the system, and its size and thickness can also be precisely adjusted according to the wind resistance requirements and structural stiffness requirements of the project to ensure the stability and durability of the system under different climatic conditions.

[0074] Finally, in terms of the pulling mechanism 3, the present invention adopts an adjustable basket bolt 304 to meet different tension requirements; wherein, the type of the basket bolt 304 can be selected from UU type, OO type, etc. according to actual conditions, and the installation position can also be flexibly adjusted according to site conditions.

[0075] In summary, the system of the present invention achieves a lightweight design while ensuring structural strength and stability, and has the advantages of shielding clutter and improving detection accuracy. In addition, the support mechanism 1, the protection mechanism 2 and the pulling mechanism 3 of the present invention adopt a modular design, so that the system can be easily assembled and disassembled, reducing the difficulty of transportation and installation.
