Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a transport container for antenna components, and more particularly to a transport container capable of mounting multiple array antenna radiating beams, belonging to the field of specialized container technology. Background Technology

[0002] Array antennas are widely used in radio systems such as communication, broadcasting, television, radar, and navigation. In recent years, the structure of array antennas has gradually developed towards integration and larger size. The radiating beam assembly, which serves as the main frame supporting the antenna array, cannot be transported as a whole due to its large size; therefore, it is generally disassembled into individual radiating beam pieces for transport. The structure of radiating beam 100 is as follows... Figure 1 As shown, it consists of a polygonal structure formed by welding large-diameter circular steel tubes around its perimeter through node ball heads 101. This includes vertical rods 102 at both ends, an upper diagonal rod 103, and a lower diagonal rod 104, as well as upper connecting rods 105 and lower connecting rods 106 in the middle. The diagonally opposite node ball heads 101 are fixed together by diagonal bracing rods 107 made of smaller-diameter circular steel tubes, thus forming a structurally stable radiating beam 100. Since the shape of the radiating beam is determined by the antenna array, the structure is not uniform. If multiple radiating beams are stacked flat on a vehicle platform for transportation, the beams are difficult to fix, and vibrations and impacts during vehicle movement can easily cause them to twist and deform, severely affecting the assembly and use of the array antenna. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a container that can fix multiple vertically arranged radiating beam array antennas.

[0004] This invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0005] A container for transporting array antenna radiating beams includes a frame-type body and two sets of positioning beam units. The frame-type body includes multiple columns, several longitudinal beams, and several transverse beams made of steel sections. Four longitudinal beams, four columns, and four transverse beams are fixed together to form a cuboid frame by standard container corner fittings. Several columns are arranged at intervals in the longitudinal frames on both sides of the cuboid frame.

[0006] The positioning beam units are fixed at both ends of the longitudinal direction of the frame-type box body. Each group of positioning beam units includes an upper positioning component, a side positioning component, and a lower positioning component with the same structure but different installation positions. The upper positioning component, the side positioning component, and the lower positioning component each include their corresponding fixed crossbar, cross plate, several first hinge rods, several second hinge rods, and multiple radial beam support seats. One end of several spaced first hinge rods is vertically welded to the fixed crossbar. One end of several spaced second hinge rods is vertically welded to one side of the cross plate. Multiple radial beam support seats are fixed side by side on the other side of the cross plate. The other end of the first hinge rod is hinged to the other end of the second hinge rod through hinge pins. The two ends of the fixed crossbar of the upper positioning rod assembly are fixed to the two ends of the inner side of the longitudinal beam of the top frame. The two ends of the fixed crossbar of the side positioning rod assembly are fixed to the middle of the end face frame at both ends of the frame-type box body. The two ends of the fixed crossbar of the lower positioning component are fixed to the two ends of the inner side of the longitudinal beam of the bottom frame.

[0007] Multiple radial beams are arranged vertically side-by-side within the frame-type compartment. The vertical bars at one end of each radial beam abut against the radial beam support seat corresponding to the side positioning rod assembly. The lower diagonal bars at both ends of each radial beam abut against the radial beam support seat corresponding to the lower positioning rod assembly. The upper diagonal bars at one end of each radial beam abut against the radial beam support seat corresponding to the upper positioning assembly. The upper diagonal bars at the other end of each radial beam abut against the radial beam support seats corresponding to the upper positioning assembly and the side positioning assembly, respectively, thus positioning and clamping the multiple radial beams within the frame-type compartment.

[0008] The objective of this invention can also be further achieved through the following technical solutions.

[0009] Furthermore, the radial beam support is in the shape of an inverted Π, including a base plate and a U-shaped block extending upward from the center of the base plate. The radius of curvature of the bottom of the arc-shaped groove of the U-shaped block matches the radius of the circular steel pipe of the outer circumference of the radial beam. The two ends of the base plate are fixed to the horizontal plate by bolt and nut sets. The rods at both ends and on the upper and lower sides of the multiple radial beams abut against the arc-shaped grooves of the corresponding radial beam support.

[0010] Furthermore, the columns, longitudinal beams, and transverse beams are all made of channel steel.

[0011] Furthermore, triangular stiffening plates are welded to both sides of the vertical intersection welds of the longitudinal beams and columns, and the crossbeams and columns of the frame-type box body.

[0012] Furthermore, the two ends of the fixed crossbar are vertically welded to the end panel, and the two ends of the end panel are vertically fixed to the longitudinal beam through fastening bolt and nut groups that pass through the two ends of the end panel and the oval holes of the longitudinal beam.

[0013] Furthermore, the cross-section of the horizontal plate is groove-shaped.

[0014] This invention utilizes side positioning components located at both ends of a frame-type cargo box to longitudinally limit the ends of multiple radial beams placed vertically side-by-side within the box. Upper and lower positioning components provide lateral limiting for the ends and upper and lower sides of the beams, ensuring reliable positioning and clamping of the radial beams within their respective vertical planes. Even under harsh conditions of bumpy and vibrating motion during vehicle operation, the radial beams will not move, ensuring safe transport. By simply replacing the radial beam support seats with different specifications, allowing the arc-shaped grooves of the U-shaped blocks to fit the corresponding radial beam specifications, the invention's application scope and versatility are expanded.

[0015] The advantages and features of the present invention will be illustrated and explained by the following non-limiting description of preferred embodiments, which are given by way of example only with reference to the accompanying drawings. Attached Figure Description

[0019] Figure 4 yes Figure 2 Enlarged view of Part I. Detailed Implementation

[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0021] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment includes a frame-type box body 1 and two sets of positioning beam units 2. The frame-type box body 1 includes 10 uprights 11, 4 longitudinal beams 12 and 4 transverse beams 13 made of channel steel. The 4 longitudinal beams 12, 4 uprights 11 and 4 transverse beams 13 are fixed together to form a cuboid frame by standard container corners 14. Three uprights 11 are also welded at intervals in the longitudinal frames 40 on both sides of the cuboid frame.

[0022] Positioning beam units 2 are fixed at both ends of the frame-type box body. Each group of positioning beam units 2 includes an upper positioning component 21, a side positioning component 22, and a lower positioning component 23 with the same structure but different installation positions. The upper positioning component 21, the side positioning component 22, and the lower positioning component 23 each include their corresponding fixed crossbar 211, cross plate 212, three first hinge rods 213, three second hinge rods 214, and twelve radial beam support seats 215. One end of the three spaced-apart first hinge rods 213 is vertically welded to the fixed crossbar 211. One end of the three spaced-apart second hinge rods 214 is vertically welded to one side of the cross plate 212. The twelve radial beam support seats 215 are fixed side by side on the other side of the cross plate 212. The other end of the first hinge rods 213 is hinged to the other end of the second hinge rods 214 through hinge pins 216. The two ends of the fixing crossbar 211 of the upper positioning rod assembly 21 are respectively fixed to the two ends of the inner side of the longitudinal beam 12 of the top frame 10. The two ends of the fixing crossbar 211 of the side positioning rod assembly 22 are respectively fixed to the middle of the end face frame 30 at both ends of the frame-type body 1. The two ends of the fixing crossbar 211 of the lower positioning assembly 23 are respectively fixed to the middle of the inner side of the longitudinal beam 211 at both ends of the bottom frame 30. The cross section of the cross plate 212 is groove-shaped, which reduces weight and improves rigidity.

[0023] Twelve radial beams 100 are arranged vertically side-by-side within the frame-type compartment. The vertical rods 102 at the left ends of the twelve radial beams 100 abut against the radial beam support seats 215 corresponding to the side positioning rod assembly 22. The right ends of the upper inclined rods 103 at the right ends of the twelve radial beams 100 abut against the radial beam support seats 215 corresponding to the side positioning rod assembly 22. The lower inclined rods 104 at both ends of the twelve radial beams 100 abut against the radial beam support seats 215 corresponding to the lower positioning rod assembly 23. The middle parts of the upper inclined rods 103 at the left ends of the twelve radial beams abut against the radial beam support seats 215 corresponding to the upper positioning assembly 21. The left ends of the upper inclined rods 103 at the right ends of the twelve radial beams abut against the radial beam support seats 215 corresponding to the upper positioning rod assembly 23. Thus, the twelve radial beams 100 are positioned and clamped within the frame-type compartment.

[0024] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the radial beam support 215 is inverted Π-shaped, including a base plate 2151 and a U-shaped block 2152 extending upward from the center of the base plate. The radius of curvature of the bottom of the arc-shaped groove 2153 of the U-shaped block 2152 matches the radius of the circular steel tube of the outer circumference of the radial beam 100. That is, the radius of curvature of the bottom of the arc-shaped groove 2153 matches the radiant beam 100's vertical rod 102, upper inclined rod 103, and lower inclined rod 10 at both ends, respectively, so that the radial beam 100 can be stably supported on the radial beam support 215. The two ends of the base plate 2151 are fixed to the horizontal plate 212 by bolt and nut assembly 217. The rods at both ends and on the upper and lower sides of the multiple radial beams 100 respectively abut against the corresponding arc-shaped grooves 2153 of the radial beam support 215. Because of the hinge structure between the other end of the first hinge rod 213 and the other end of the second hinge rod 214, the radial beam support 215 can swing around the axis of the hinge pin 216, thereby making the arc-shaped groove 2153 of the radial beam support 215 fit more precisely on the rod of the radial beam 100, so that the radial beam 100 can be supported more stably and reliably in the frame-type box 1.

[0025] Triangular stiffeners 111 are welded to both sides of the vertical intersection welds of the longitudinal beams 12 and columns 11, and the crossbeams 13 and columns 11 of the frame-type box body 1, which further improves the structural stability of the frame-type box body 1.

[0026] The two ends of the fixed crossbar 211 are vertically welded to the end panel 218, and the two ends of the end panel 218 are vertically fixed to the longitudinal beam 12 by fastening bolt and nut groups 217 that pass through the two ends of the end panel 218 and the oblong holes 121 of the longitudinal beam. This structure facilitates fine-tuning of the position of the fixed crossbar 211 and the longitudinal beam 12, so that the radial beam support seat 215 on the lower side of the upper positioning rod assembly 21 presses against the corresponding rods of the radial beam 100.

[0027] In use, the two sets of upper positioning rod assemblies 21 of the top frame 10 of the frame-type compartment 1 are first removed, opening the top surface of the frame-type compartment 1. Then, the radial beams 100 can be vertically hoisted into the frame-type compartment 1 one by one, so that the lower inclined rods 104 at both ends of the radial beam 100 are respectively embedded in the arc-shaped slots 2153 of the radial beam support seats 215 corresponding to the lower positioning assemblies 23. Next, the arc-shaped slots 2153 of the radial beam support seats 215 of the side positioning rod assembly 22 outside the left end of the radial beam 100 press down on the vertical rod 102 at the left end of the radial beam 100, and then the arc-shaped slots 2153 of the radial beam support seats 215 of the side positioning rod assembly 22 outside the right end of the radial beam 100 press down on the right end of the upper inclined rod 103 at the right end of the radial beam 100. Finally, the upper positioning rod assembly 21 is installed on both ends of the top frame 10, so that the arc-shaped slot 2153 of the radial beam support seat 215 of the upper positioning rod assembly 21 presses down on the left end of the upper inclined rod 103 on the right end of the radial beam 100 and the middle part of the upper inclined rod 103 on the left end of the radial beam 100, thereby positioning and clamping the 12 radial beams 100 in the positioning beam unit 2, and completing the operation of installing the 12 radial beams 100 into the frame-type box 1.

[0028] In addition to the above embodiments, the present invention may have other implementation methods. All technical solutions formed by equivalent substitution or equivalent transformation fall within the protection scope claimed by the present invention.
