Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of base station antennas, and in particular to an antenna engineering parameter control module component. Background Art

[0002] The signal coverage of the base station antenna directly affects the signal quality of communication and customer experience. In view of this, the industrial parameter data of the base station antenna is collected with the help of the industrial parameter sensing device. The industrial parameter data includes antenna height, downtilt angle and azimuth angle, etc., which serves as a reference for functional adjustment of the base station antenna.

[0003] As far as the current status of the industry is concerned, the installation methods of the industrial parameter sensing device include external and internal installation. In practical applications, both of the above two installation methods have obvious shortcomings, which are specifically reflected in: both adopt on-site methods to assemble the industrial parameter sensing device and the antenna end cover into one, which not only requires high construction experience and sense of responsibility of the operators, but also has cumbersome installation steps and time-consuming and laborious implementation process. As far as the external installation method is concerned, after the industrial parameter sensing device is installed in place, it is also necessary to use AI SG wire to achieve electrical connection with the antenna body, and if there is a tower situation, the operator needs to use climbing equipment to carry out high-altitude installation operations, and the construction risk and construction cost are high; as far as the internal installation method is concerned, because the industrial parameter sensing device is hidden in the antenna end cover, it is not convenient for the operator to perform daily maintenance operations on it in actual operation. Furthermore, if a sudden failure occurs, it is not convenient for the operating team to perform disassembly and installation operations. In some cases, it is necessary to go up the tower to replace the base station antenna as a whole, which leads to high operation and maintenance costs of the base station antenna. Therefore, it is urgent for technical personnel to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention

[0004] Therefore, in view of the above-mentioned existing problems and defects, the designers of the present invention collected relevant information, conducted multiple evaluations and considerations, and continued to experiment and modify after many years of R&D experience by technicians engaged in this industry, which ultimately led to the emergence of the antenna industrial parameter control module component.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention relates to an antenna industrial parameter control module assembly, which includes an industrial parameter sensing device and a protective end cover that are combined into one. The protective end cover is formed with a receiving groove that matches the outer dimensions of the industrial parameter sensing device. The bottom wall of the receiving groove is inclined, and its horizontal angle α is greater than 15°. A supporting rib is formed extending upward from the bottom wall of the receiving groove. An overflow hole that is connected to the receiving groove is formed on the protective end cover. The industrial parameter sensing device is immersed in the receiving groove, supported by the supporting rib, and is fixedly connected to the protective end cover in a detachable manner.

[0006] As a further improvement of the technical solution disclosed in the present invention, the number of the supporting ribs is multiple and they are arranged in a linear array along the width direction of the accommodating groove. The top walls of the multiple supporting ribs together constitute a supporting base surface for supporting the industrial parameter sensing device.

[0007] As a further improvement of the technical solution disclosed in the present invention, the overflow hole is at the same height as the lowest point of the bottom wall of the receiving groove. There are multiple overflow holes, which are linearly arranged along the width direction of the receiving groove.

[0008] As a further improvement of the technical solution disclosed in the present invention, the industrial parameter sensing device is fixedly connected to the protective end cover by means of screws. The top wall of the industrial parameter sensing device extends downward to form a plurality of installation through holes for the screws to pass freely. The bottom wall of the accommodating groove extends upward to form a mounting column. The mounting column is provided with an internal threaded hole for the screw to be screwed in.

[0009] As a further improvement of the technical solution disclosed in the present invention, when the industrial parameter sensing device is installed into place relative to the accommodating groove, its top wall is flush with the top wall of the protective end cover.

[0010] As a further improvement of the technical solution disclosed in the present invention, a front force-applying groove is formed on the front side wall of the industrial parameter sensing device. Opposite to the front force-applying groove, an avoidance notch is formed on the front side wall of the protective end cover, which is conducive to the finger touching the front force-applying groove. Opposite to the rear extension edge of the industrial parameter sensing device, an avoidance groove is extended downward from the top wall of the protective end cover to form a avoidance groove, which is conducive to the finger touching the rear extension edge of the industrial parameter sensing device.

[0011] In practical applications, the antenna engineering parameter control module assembly disclosed in the present invention can achieve at least the following beneficial technical effects, specifically:

[0012] 1) The industrial parameter sensing device adopts a sunken assembly form to be integrated with the protective end cover, so that the antenna industrial parameter control module component has the design advantages of both traditional external installation and built-in installation. It is not only convenient for operators to perform daily maintenance operations on it, but also does not require the aid of climbing equipment to assist in climbing. The construction risk is controllable, and the operation and maintenance cost of the base station antenna can be greatly reduced;

[0013] 2) Thanks to the inclined design of the bottom wall of the receiving groove and the opening of the overflow hole, rainwater that penetrates through the assembly gap formed between the industrial parameter sensing device and the protective end cover can be collected in a directional manner and discharged through the overflow hole in a timely manner, thereby preventing the industrial parameter sensing device from being infiltrated by rainwater and affecting the quality of its industrial parameter data collection;

[0014] 3) In the workshop stage, the industrial parameter sensing device and the protective end cover are assembled into components, and the AI ​​SG line attached to the industrial parameter sensing device is pre-arranged and wired in place, and then installed on the base station antenna as a whole. This can effectively relax the construction experience and responsibility requirements of the on-site construction team's workers, and the on-site construction steps can be simplified, laying a good foundation for shortening the total construction time.

[0025] In the description of the present invention, it is necessary to understand that the directions or positional relationships indicated by the terms "left", "right", "front", "back", "up", "down", etc. are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying 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 direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0026] Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the antenna engineering parameter control module assembly is installed on the top of the base station antenna. It is used to collect the engineering parameter data of the base station antenna (including antenna height, downtilt angle and azimuth angle, etc.) in real time, and serve as a reference for functional adjustment of the base station antenna.

[0027] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments. Figure 3 , Figure 4 The three-dimensional schematic diagram and the exploded schematic diagram of the antenna industrial parameter control module assembly disclosed in the present invention are respectively shown. It can be seen that it is mainly composed of a parameter sensing device 1 and a protective end cover 2. Among them, the protective end cover 2 is formed with a receiving groove 21 that matches the external dimensions of the industrial parameter sensing device 1. The bottom wall of the receiving groove 21 is inclined, and its horizontal angle α is greater than 15°. A supporting rib 22 is formed by extending upward from the bottom wall of the receiving groove 21. The protective end cover 2 is formed with an overflow hole 23 (such as Figure 7 , 8 ). The industrial parameter sensing device 1 (as shown in Figure 5 , 6 ) is sunk into the receiving groove 21, supported by the supporting ribs 22, and is fixedly connected to the protective end cover 2 in a detachable manner. When the industrial parameter sensing device 1 is installed in place relative to the receiving groove 21, its top wall is flush with the top wall of the protective end cover 2.

[0028] By adopting the above technical solution, on the one hand, the industrial parameter sensing device 1 adopts a sunken assembly form to be combined with the protective end cover 2 as a whole, so that the antenna industrial parameter control module component has the design advantages of both traditional external installation and built-in installation, which is not only convenient for operators to perform daily maintenance operations on it, but also does not require the aid of climbing equipment to assist in climbing it. The construction risk is controllable, and the operation and maintenance cost of the base station antenna can be greatly reduced; on the other hand, thanks to the inclined design of the bottom wall of the accommodating groove 21 and the opening of the overflow hole 23, rainwater that invades through the assembly gap formed between the industrial parameter sensing device 1 and the protective end cover 2 can be directionally collected and discharged in time through the overflow hole, thereby avoiding the industrial parameter sensing device 1 being affected by the infiltration of rainwater and affecting its industrial parameter data collection quality.

[0029] Here, it is also necessary to emphasize that, in the workshop stage, the industrial parameter sensing device 1 and the protective end cover 2 are assembled into a component, and the AI ​​SG line attached to the industrial parameter sensing device 1 is pre-arranged and wired in place, and then installed on the base station antenna as a whole. In this way, the requirements for construction experience and sense of responsibility of the on-site construction team's operating personnel can be effectively relaxed, and the on-site construction steps can be simplified, which lays a good foundation for shortening the total construction time.

[0030] It is known that according to design common sense, a variety of detachable methods can be adopted to realize the assembly of the industrial parameter sensing device 1 and the protective end cover 2. However, a scheme with a simple design structure, easy implementation, and convenient for subsequent secondary disassembly and assembly operations is recommended here, specifically: Figure 3 , 4 As shown in FIG, the industrial parameter sensing device 1 is fixedly connected to the protective end cover 2 by means of screws 3. Figure 5 , 6 As shown in the figure, the top wall of the industrial parameter sensing device 1 extends downward to form a plurality of mounting through holes 11 for the screws 3 to pass freely. The bottom wall of the accommodating groove 21 extends upward to form a mounting column 24. The mounting column 24 is provided with an internal threaded hole 241 for the screws 3 to be screwed in.

[0031] like Figure 7 As shown in the figure, there are multiple supporting ribs 22, which are arranged in a linear array along the width direction of the receiving groove 21. The top walls of the multiple supporting ribs 22 are jointly extended to form a supporting base surface to support the industrial parameter sensing device 1. In this way, it is effectively ensured that the industrial parameter sensing device 1 has good posture stability after being placed relative to the receiving groove 21 and being locked by multiple screws 3, avoiding the subsequent occurrence of excessive amplitude due to the action of the exciting force, and ensuring that the working performance of the industrial parameter sensing device 1 can be normally exerted for a fairly long period of time.

[0032] Furthermore, the same Figure 7 It can also be clearly seen from the figure that there are multiple overflow holes 23, which are arranged linearly along the width direction of the receiving groove 21. The overflow hole 23 is at the same height as the lowest point of the bottom wall of the receiving groove 21. In this way, it is beneficial for the rainwater that intrudes from the assembly gap between the industrial parameter sensing device 1 and the protective end cover 2 to quickly gather at the bottom of the receiving groove 21 and be completely emptied through the overflow hole in time, thereby avoiding the industrial parameter sensing device from being soaked due to excessively high rainwater level.

[0033] In order to improve the convenience of disassembly and assembly of the industrial parameter sensing device 1 and reduce the construction difficulty of the operators, as a further optimization of the above technical solution, Figure 3-7As shown in , a front force-applying groove 12 is formed on the front side wall of the industrial parameter sensing device 1. Opposite to the front force-applying groove 12, an avoidance notch 25 is formed on the front side wall of the protective end cover 2 to facilitate the finger to touch the front force-applying groove 12. Opposite to the rear outer edge of the industrial parameter sensing device 1, an avoidance trough 26 is extended downward from the top wall of the protective end cover 2 to facilitate the finger to touch the rear outer edge of the industrial parameter sensing device 1. In the actual operation and maintenance process, when it is necessary to dismantle the industrial parameter sensing device 1, the operator touches the outer edge of the industrial parameter sensing device 1 with two fingers through the avoidance notch 25 and the avoidance trough 26 respectively, and pulls upward to remove the industrial parameter sensing device 1 from the accommodating groove 21. The entire implementation process is convenient and quick, and no tools are required to assist.

[0034] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables one skilled in the art to implement or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be apparent to one skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention will not be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but rather to the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
