DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0018] In the description of the present invention, it is necessary to understand that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating the orientation or position relationship are based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0019] Reference Figure 1-Figure 8 A fully automatic satellite search antenna includes a shock-absorbing connector, and also includes: a base 1, fixedly mounted on the shock-absorbing connector; a mounting ring 2, fixedly mounted on the base 1; a mounting box 3, rotatably connected to the mounting ring 2, a first motor 4 is fixedly mounted in the mounting box 3, a fixed shaft 5 is fixedly connected to the base 1, and the fixed shaft 5 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor 4; an energy storage component is fixedly mounted in the mounting box 3 and used to supply energy for the antenna; a mounting plate 6, fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting box 3, a rotating shaft 7 is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 6, a second motor 10 is fixedly mounted on the side wall of the mounting plate 6, the output end of the second motor 10 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 7, a mounting tube 8 is fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft 7, and a signal receiving unit is fixedly mounted on the mounting tube 8, and the signal receiving unit provides a signal to the vehicle through one of the wireless methods such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc.

[0020] Start the second motor 10, the second motor 10 drives the rotating shaft 7 to rotate, the rotating shaft 7 drives the mounting tube 8 to rotate, and when the mounting tube 8 rotates, it drives the signal receiving part to rotate to adjust the elevation angle of the satellite antenna, and start the first motor 4. When the first motor 4 is working, since the output end of the first motor 4 is fixed to the fixed axis 5 and the fixed axis 5 is fixed to the base 1, and the base 1 is fixed to the vehicle through the shock-absorbing connecting piece, therefore, when the first motor 4 is working, the body of the first motor 4 drives the mounting box 3 to rotate, so as to adjust the azimuth angle.

[0021] In this embodiment, the azimuth angle of the satellite antenna is adjusted by rotating the installation box 3 installed with the power supply component, thereby avoiding the azimuth angle being adjusted too much and causing the wires used to power the signal receiving part and the first motor 4 and the second motor 10 to break, thereby avoiding damage to the satellite antenna.

[0022] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4The signal receiving part includes a reflection pot 9 fixedly mounted on the mounting tube 8, a mounting bracket 13 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the reflection pot 9, and a signal receiver 14 is fixedly mounted on the mounting bracket 13. When the signal transmitted by the satellite reaches the antenna, the reflection pot 9 first captures the signals and reflects them to the focal position. Then, the signal receiver 14 is located near the focal point and captures and analyzes the signals through its highly sensitive sensor. Then, the first motor 4 cooperates with the second motor 10 to adjust the elevation and azimuth of the antenna in real time, thereby ensuring that the signal receiver 14 is always aimed at the satellite and receives the strongest signal.

[0023] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 A support ring 11 is fixedly installed on the back of the reflection pot 9, and a reinforcing rod 12 is fixedly connected to the support ring 11. The reinforcing rod 12 is fixedly connected to the mounting tube 8. Among them, the support ring 11 serves as the main supporting structure on the back of the reflection pot 9. It disperses the force exerted on the reflection pot 9 and transfers it to the reinforcing rod 12. In this way, even in severe weather conditions or when the antenna is adjusted significantly, the reflection pot 9 can maintain a stable posture to ensure the stability of the antenna receiving signals under severe weather conditions. The reinforcing rod 12 is a key component connecting the support ring 11 and the mounting tube 8. It not only provides additional supporting force, but also enhances the connection strength between the reflection pot 9 and the mounting tube 8.

[0024] To sum up, when the satellite antenna is adjusted in elevation or azimuth, the reflector dish 9 will rotate with the mounting tube 8. At this time, the support ring 11 and the reinforcing rod 12 will jointly bear the weight of the reflector dish 9 and the force generated during the adjustment process, as well as the wind resistance received by the reflector dish 9 when the vehicle moves, ensuring that the reflector dish 9 can be stably maintained in the correct position. This not only improves the durability and reliability of the antenna, but also extends its service life.

[0025] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 A wire tube 29 is fixedly installed on the outer shell of the signal receiver 14, and the wire tube 29 is fixedly connected to the support ring 11. The wire connected to the signal receiver 14 is guided by the wire tube 29 to avoid the external environment from affecting the connection between the signal receiver 14 and the wire, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the wire and the signal receiver 14.

[0026] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 8An air guide hole 22 connected to the mounting tube 8 is provided at the center of the reflection pot 9. When the satellite antenna moves with the vehicle, the airflow penetrates into the air guide hole 22 along the curved surface of the reflection pot 9. When the vehicle moves, the surrounding air will flow relative to the vehicle. When these air flows encounter the curved surface of the reflection pot 9, they will be guided by its shape. Since the curved surface has the ability to converge toward the center, the air flow will gradually approach the center position of the reflection pot 9 while flowing along the curved surface. The air guide hole 22 opened in the center of the reflection pot 9 provides an outlet for the air guided to the center position. When the air flow reaches the center of the reflection pot 9, it will enter the mounting tube 8 through the air guide hole 22. The air flow entering the mounting tube 8 will continue to flow along the pipeline and finally be discharged from the exhaust port of the mounting tube 8. In this process, it helps to maintain air circulation inside the reflection pot 9 and the mounting tube 8, and reduce the negative impact caused by airflow accumulation. At the same time, the smooth flow of airflow also helps to reduce the wind resistance and noise of the antenna and improve the overall operating efficiency.

[0027] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 8 : Furthermore, a bracket 15 is fixedly installed in the mounting tube 8, and a mounting shaft 16 is rotatably connected to the bracket 15. A mounting cylinder 17 is fixedly connected to the mounting tube 8. The mounting shaft 16 extends into the mounting cylinder 17 and is fixedly installed with a driving fan blade 18. When the airflow passes through the mounting tube 8, the driving fan blade 18 is driven to rotate. A clamping plate 23 is fixedly connected to the mounting shaft 16, and a cleaning plate 24 is fixedly installed on the clamping plate 23. The cleaning plate 24 is attached to the reflecting surface of the reflection pot 9.

[0028] When the satellite antenna moves with the vehicle or is in a natural wind environment, the airflow on the surface of the reflection pot 9 passes through the mounting tube 8 and enters the mounting tube 17 under the guidance of the arc surface. When the airflow passes through the driving blades 18 in the mounting tube 17, it will generate a blowing force on the driving blades 18, causing the driving blades 18 to start rotating. The rotation of the driving blades 18 is transmitted to the clamping plate 23 through the mounting shaft 16, thereby driving the cleaning plate 24 to rotate. The cleaning plate 24 is attached to the reflecting surface of the reflection pot 9, and the reflecting surface will be scraped and cleaned during its rotation. This scraping action can effectively remove dust, sand, rain residue and other possible obstructions attached to the reflecting surface, and keep the reflecting surface clean and smooth.

[0029] To sum up, by utilizing the power of airflow to automatically clean the reflecting surface of the reflecting pot 9, the maintenance efficiency and performance stability of the antenna are greatly improved. The clean reflecting surface can more effectively reflect and focus satellite signals, reduce signal loss and interference, thereby improving the signal reception efficiency and extending it. Cleaning the reflecting surface can prevent dust and obstructions from corroding or damaging the reflecting pot 9 material, thereby extending its service life. The entire self-cleaning process relies entirely on the natural power of the airflow, without the need for additional power or energy support. In addition, as long as the front of the reflecting surface of the antenna is affected by the airflow, the cleaning plate 24 will continue to clean the reflecting surface, ensuring the long-term cleanliness of the reflecting surface. Compared with the traditional reflection pot 9, which requires regular manual cleaning, this self-cleaning design greatly reduces the need for manual intervention and improves the degree of automation.

[0030] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 8 A connecting plate 19 is fixedly mounted on the mounting tube 8, and a generator 20 is fixedly mounted on the connecting plate 19. The rotor of the generator 20 is fixedly connected to the mounting shaft 16. When the airflow passes through the mounting tube 17 and blows the driving blades 18, the driving blades 18 drive the mounting shaft 16 to rotate. The rotor of the generator 20 is fixedly connected to the mounting shaft 16, so the rotation of the mounting shaft 16 drives the rotation of the rotor of the generator 20. Inside the generator 20, this rotational motion generates an induced current through the principle of electromagnetic induction, and these induced currents are then transported to the energy storage component for storage. Therefore, the airflow is used to drive the mounting shaft 16 to rotate, which is not only used to drive the cleaning plate 24 to clean the reflecting surface of the reflection pot 9, but also drives the rotor of the generator 20 to rotate to realize energy conversion, so that the satellite antenna can achieve energy self-sufficiency to a certain extent, reduce dependence on external power supplies, and improve independence and reliability.

[0031] In summary, in this embodiment, by utilizing the power generated by natural airflow to drive the generator 20 to generate electricity, green energy recovery and reuse are achieved, energy consumption and environmental pollution are reduced, and dependence on external power sources and the complexity of power transmission are reduced.

[0032] Reference Figure 6 A conical air guide cover 21 is fixedly connected to the generator 20, and the rotor of the generator 20 passes through the center of the conical air guide cover 21 and is rotatably connected to the conical air guide cover 21. The airflow discharged through the mounting tube 8 and the mounting cylinder 17 flows toward the periphery along the cone surface of the conical air guide cover 21 to avoid contact between the airflow and the end surface of the generator 20. According to the Bernoulli principle, the speed of the airflow will increase when passing through, so the heat dissipated to the periphery when the generator 20 generates electricity can be more efficiently taken away, thereby preventing the generator 20 from overheating and causing increased wear, thereby increasing the service life of the generator 20.

[0033] Reference Figure 7 The energy storage component includes a first battery 25 and a second battery 26 fixedly connected in the installation box 3. A charging component is fixedly installed in the installation box 3. The input end of the charging component is connected to the transmission end of the generator 20, and the output end of the charging component is connected to the first battery 25 and the second battery 26. A redundant power supply system is formed by the first battery 25 and the second battery 26 arranged in the installation box 3. When the antenna moves with the vehicle, one group of batteries (such as the first battery 25) is responsible for providing stable power for the antenna, while the other group of batteries (such as the second battery 26) is in a charging state, receiving power converted from the generator 20 through the charging component, ensuring that even if a fault occurs during the power generation or charging process, it can be seamlessly switched to another group of batteries to continue working, thereby improving reliability and stability. When a group of batteries (such as the second battery 26) is fully charged, the fully charged battery (the second battery 26) is used to supply energy, and at the same time, the previously discharged battery (the first battery 25) is charged through the charging component. This alternating charging and discharging mode not only extends the service life of the battery, but also ensures that the system always has sufficient power supply.

[0034] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 5 The shock-absorbing connector includes a shock-absorbing seat 27, which is in the shape of an "I" character. Fixed plates 28 are fixedly installed in the controls on both sides of the shock-absorbing seat 27. The fixed plates 28 located above are fixedly connected to the base 1 by bolts, wherein the fixed plates 28 are used to improve the stability after installation, and the shock-absorbing seat 27 is used to absorb the vibration generated during the movement of the vehicle. The shock-absorbing seat 27 and the fixed plate 28 in the shock-absorbing connector cooperate with each other to jointly achieve effective absorption and dispersion of the vibration generated during the movement of the vehicle.

[0035] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto.
