[0027] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," and "third" used in the embodiments of this application are merely used to distinguish similar objects and do not represent a specific ordering of objects. It is understood that "first," "second," and "third" can be interchanged in a specific order or sequence where permitted.

[0028] This invention provides a marine radio log antenna mounting device, such as... Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the device includes:

[0029] Support chassis 11, such as Figures 2 to 4 As shown, it is a vertically mounted bulkhead parallel to the deck and perpendicular to the hull surface. Here, the bulkhead can be a bulkhead of a cabin on the ship, or it can be a side bulkhead on both sides.

[0030] Antenna mounting panel 12, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the antenna mounting panel 12 is inclined at the upper end of the support base 11 away from the vertical wall, forming an obtuse angle with the support base 11. The two ends of the antenna mounting panel 12 facing the vertical wall are connected to the surface of the vertical wall through the first upper inclined tie rod 13 and the second upper inclined tie rod 14, respectively. The antenna 21 is set on the side of the antenna mounting panel 12 facing away from the vertical wall.

[0031] In some embodiments, the lengths of the first upper inclined tie rod 13 and the second upper inclined tie rod 14 are adjustable. This adjustable length design allows for flexible adjustments based on the specific structure of the ship and the optimal operating angle of the antenna 21, ensuring that the antenna 21 achieves optimal signal reception and transmission performance on different ships and in different installation locations, thus improving the versatility and adaptability of the device.

[0032] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the first upper inclined tie rod 13 and the second upper inclined tie rod 14 are respectively provided with a first adjustable wing nut 15 and a second adjustable wing nut 16, which are used to control the length adjustment state of the first upper inclined tie rod 13 and the second upper inclined tie rod 14. This allows operators to easily and quickly adjust and fix the length of the tie rods. The structure of the wing nut facilitates manual operation without the need for additional tools, thus improving the efficiency of installation and adjustment.

[0033] When the first adjustable wing nut 15 and the second adjustable wing nut 16 are tightened, the lengths of the first upper diagonal tie rod 13 and the second upper diagonal tie rod 14 are not adjustable. After tightening the wing nuts, the length of the diagonal tie rods is fixed, ensuring that the antenna mounting panel 12 remains stable during operation and preventing the antenna 21 from shifting due to external forces or vibrations, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the antenna 21.

[0034] When the first adjustable wing nut 15 and the second adjustable wing nut 16 are loosened, the lengths of the first upper inclined tie rod 13 and the second upper inclined tie rod 14 can be adjusted. After the wing nuts are loosened, the length of the inclined tie rods can be freely adjusted, allowing the angle and position of the antenna mounting panel 12 to be quickly adjusted according to actual needs, thus improving the flexibility and operability of the device.

[0035] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the antenna mounting panel 12 is connected to the support chassis 11 via a pivot 17. When adjusting the lengths of the first upper diagonal brace 13 and the second upper diagonal brace 14, the antenna mounting panel 12 can rotate relative to the support chassis 11 via the pivot 17. This rotatable design allows the antenna mounting panel 12 to adjust its angle according to the adjustment of the diagonal brace lengths, further improving the flexibility and adaptability of the antenna installation position and better meeting the requirements of different ship structures and antenna operation.

[0036] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, a downward-sloping tie rod 18 connects the antenna mounting panel 12 to the supporting chassis 11 to provide tension. The downward-sloping tie rod 18 provides additional tension support for the antenna mounting panel 12, enhancing the stability of the entire device. Especially when encountering external forces such as wind and waves during ship navigation, it can effectively prevent the antenna mounting panel 12 from shaking and deforming, ensuring the stable operation of the antenna 21.

[0037] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2As shown, the antenna mounting panel 12 has a pull-out horizontal guide rail 19 on the side facing away from the vertical wall, and the antenna 21 is detachably mounted on the pull-out horizontal guide rail 19. The design of the pull-out horizontal guide rail 19 makes the installation and removal of the antenna 21 more convenient and quick. Operators can quickly replace or repair the antenna without disassembling the entire device, which greatly improves maintenance efficiency and also facilitates the storage and transportation of the antenna.

[0038] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the length of the support chassis 11 corresponding to the first upper inclined tie rod 13 gradually decreases towards the length corresponding to the second upper inclined tie rod 14. This tapered design optimizes the spatial layout of the device, making it more compact. Furthermore, depending on the length of the tie rods, it better adapts to the tilt angle of the antenna mounting panel 12, further improving the stability and reliability of the device.

[0039] The length of the antenna mounting panel 12 corresponding to the first upper inclined tie rod 13 gradually decreases towards the length corresponding to the second upper inclined tie rod 14.

[0040] The length of the first upper diagonal tie rod 13 is greater than the length of the second upper diagonal tie rod 14.

[0041] In some embodiments, such as Figures 2 to 4 As shown, elbow plates 20 are provided between the first upper diagonal tie rod 13, the second upper diagonal tie rod 14, and the support base 11 and the vertical wall surface. The elbow plates 20 can enhance the connection strength between the diagonal tie rods and the support base 11 and the vertical wall surface, improve the structural stability of the entire device, prevent the connection parts from loosening or being damaged due to long-term use or external force, and thus extend the service life of the device.

[0042] This invention employs a quick-release design. The antenna is fixed to an antenna mounting panel with guide rails and can be removed from a pull-out transverse rail, allowing for flexible assembly and disassembly. This quick-release design makes antenna installation and removal more efficient, significantly reducing the time and labor required for antenna maintenance and replacement, and improving the maintenance efficiency and reliability of marine radio logs.

[0043] This invention utilizes a combination of a bottom support chassis and an adjustable-length tie rod to enable the antenna to meet specific positioning requirements. This combined design allows for flexible adjustment of the antenna's position and angle based on the ship's specific structure and the antenna's operational needs, ensuring optimal antenna performance under various conditions. This satisfies the unique positioning requirements of shipboard radio logs and improves their performance and reliability.

[0044] The technical solutions described in the embodiments of this application can be combined arbitrarily without conflict.

[0045] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
