Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of weather radar antennas, specifically a weather radar antenna that is easy to install and debug. Background Technology
[0002] Existing weather radar antennas mostly employ servo-driven structures to adjust the array's elevation angle and attitude. This driving method offers high control precision and sensitive response, meeting the angle adjustment requirements of routine weather detection. Its structure is adaptable to both outdoor fixed installations and vehicle-mounted mobile applications, making it highly versatile. However, the traditional radar antenna adjustment support structure design is relatively simple, often relying solely on the drive components to bear the array's weight. Under conditions of strong outdoor winds, high-speed airflow during vehicle transport, and road vibrations, the overall load is concentrated. While this can accomplish basic angle adjustment, long-term exposure to alternating impact loads easily leads to wear, jamming, and loosening of the drive components, resulting in a shorter service life and insufficient operational stability.
[0003] Conventional support structures only provide simple support and lack effective travel limits and high-strength rigid load-bearing locking functions. There is no limit protection during antenna array adjustment, which can easily lead to overtravel damage to the structure. After adjustment, a stable overall support limit cannot be formed. Under complex working conditions such as strong winds, airflow, vehicle bumps and vibrations, the array is prone to displacement and shaking, making it difficult to maintain a stable and accurate detection attitude. This seriously affects the detection accuracy of the weather radar and the overall operational reliability of the equipment. Therefore, a weather radar antenna that is easy to install and debug is proposed. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this section is to outline some aspects of embodiments of the present invention and to briefly describe some preferred embodiments. Simplifications or omissions may be made in this section, as well as in the abstract and title of this application, to avoid obscuring the purpose of these documents; however, such simplifications or omissions should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention.
[0005] Given the following technical problems in the existing technology: conventional support structures only have a simple supporting function and lack effective travel limit and high-strength rigid load-bearing locking functions; there is no limit limit protection during antenna array adjustment, which can easily lead to overtravel damage to the structure; after adjustment, it is impossible to form a stable overall support limit; under complex working conditions such as strong winds, airflow, vehicle bumps and vibrations, the array is prone to shifting and shaking, making it difficult to maintain a stable and accurate detection attitude, which seriously affects the detection accuracy of the weather radar and the overall operational reliability of the equipment.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a weather radar antenna that is easy to install and debug, comprising: The radar assembly includes a base, a meteorological phased array surface, a connecting frame, and a servo electric cylinder. The meteorological phased array surface is rotatably connected to the upper side of the base. The connecting frame is located in the middle of the lower side of the meteorological phased array surface. The servo electric cylinder is hinged to the base, and the movable end of the servo electric cylinder is hinged to the connecting frame. An auxiliary folding component is provided between the lower side of the meteorological phased array surface and the base.
[0007] As a preferred technical solution for weather radar antennas that are easy to install and debug, the radar assembly also includes connecting arms and connecting plates. Two connecting plates are symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the weather phased array surface, the connecting arms are tilted, and two connecting arms are arranged on the upper side of the base. The connecting arms correspond one-to-one with the connecting plates, and the connecting arms are rotatably connected to the corresponding connecting plates. The weather phased array surface rotates around the connection point between the connecting arms and the connecting plates.
[0008] As a preferred technical solution for weather radar antennas that are easy to install and debug, a pad is provided on the upper side of the base. The pad is movably abutted against the end of the connecting frame away from the weather phased array surface. The pad is a cylindrical plate and the material of the pad is rubber.
[0009] As a preferred technical solution for a weather radar antenna that is easy to install and debug, the auxiliary folding component includes a connecting base, a second sliding column, a sliding groove, a second cylindrical platform, and a telescopic component. Two connecting bases are hinged to the upper side of the base, and the two connecting bases are symmetrically distributed on the base. The connecting bases are provided with sliding grooves. Two telescopic components are symmetrically hinged to the lower side of the weather phased array surface. The movable end of the telescopic component is provided with a second cylindrical platform. The second sliding column is rotatably connected to the second cylindrical platform. The second sliding column extends into the sliding groove and is slidably connected to the sliding groove.
[0010] As a preferred technical solution for a weather radar antenna that is easy to install and debug, the auxiliary folding component also includes an adjusting component, a cylindrical platform, a sliding column, a connecting platform, an inlet, and a sliding channel. The top of the connecting base is provided with an adjusting component, and the top of the adjusting component is provided with a cylindrical platform. The cylindrical platform is rotatably connected to the sliding column, and the sliding column is movably connected to the sliding channel. A connecting platform is provided on one side of the telescopic component, and a sliding channel is opened on the connecting platform. An inlet is opened at the top of the sliding channel.
[0011] As a preferred technical solution for weather radar antennas that are easy to install and debug, a magnetic field control mechanism is provided on the connecting platform. The magnetic field control mechanism includes a locking bladder, a pole shoe, and a magnetic field generator. The two opposing inner walls of the sliding channel are provided with locking bladders. A pole shoe is provided on one side of the locking bladder. The cavity formed by the locking bladder and the pole shoe contains magnetorheological fluid. A magnetic field generator is provided on one side of the pole shoe. An adjustment cavity is provided inside the magnetic field generator.
[0012] As a preferred technical solution for weather radar antennas that are easy to install and debug, the magnetic field control mechanism includes two protrusions: one and two. The inner wall of the locking chamber is spaced apart by one protrusion, and the pole shoes are spaced apart by two protrusions. The magnetorheological fluid hardens under the influence of the magnetic field, working in conjunction with the first and second protrusions to increase the points of application, disperse stress, and improve the load-bearing capacity of the longitudinal portion of the locking chamber and pole shoes. The applied magnetic field causes the magnetic particles inside the magnetorheological fluid to arrange along the magnetic field lines, forming a dense chain-like skeleton structure. The apparent viscosity of the fluid increases sharply, the yield strength increases significantly, and it transforms from a free liquid state to a near-solid state.
[0013] As a preferred technical solution for weather radar antennas that are easy to install and debug, a magnetic field control mechanism is provided on the inner side of the magnetic field generating component. Electromagnets are arranged at intervals inside the adjustment cavity. When the electromagnets are energized, they generate a magnetic field. The magnetic field is more evenly distributed through the pole shoes. The magnetic poles of the magnetic fields generated by the two rows of electromagnets on both sides of the sliding channel are opposite. The state of the magnetorheological fluid is controlled by energizing or de-energizing them at the same time.
[0014] As a preferred technical solution for weather radar antennas that are easy to install and debug, the inner side of the magnetic field generating component is provided with a magnetic field physical control mechanism and a permanent magnet block. Several permanent magnet blocks are evenly arranged on the inner side of the magnetic field generating component. One of the permanent magnet blocks in the magnetic field generating component is fixed and its magnetic pole always faces the sliding channel. Another permanent magnet block inside the magnetic field generator is rotatably connected to the inside of the magnetic field generator and connected to the magnetic field physical control mechanism. The magnetic field physical control mechanism includes a rotating column, a face-changing frame, and an adjustment slot. The face-changing frame is slidably connected to the inside of the magnetic field generator. Several adjustment slots are spaced apart on the face-changing frame. A rotating shaft is provided on one side of one end of the permanent magnet block, and a rotating column is provided on the other side of the other end of the permanent magnet block. The rotating column is rotatably connected to the permanent magnet block, and the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the magnetic field generator. The rotating column corresponds to the adjustment slot one by one. The rotating column extends into the adjustment slot. The magnetic field physical control mechanism can control the permanent magnet block to flip over, so that the permanent magnet block changes its orientation toward the magnetic pole of the sliding channel. When the magnetic poles of the permanent magnet blocks on both sides of the sliding channel are the same, they cancel each other out, so that the magnetic particles inside the magnetorheological fluid in the locking bladder cannot form a continuous and dense chain structure. The liquid maintains low viscosity and good fluidity, so that the sliding column can move smoothly in the sliding channel. When the magnetic poles of the permanent magnet blocks on both sides of the sliding channel are opposite, the magnetic particles in the magnetorheological fluid will rapidly arrange themselves into a continuous chain structure along the direction of the magnetic field. The viscosity of the liquid increases sharply and the yield strength increases significantly. It changes from a free-flowing liquid state to a near-solid state, and the fluidity is basically lost. The sliding column can no longer move in the sliding channel, so that the meteorological phased array surface maintains its elevation angle and attitude.
[0015] The beneficial effects of the weather radar antenna of the present invention, which is easy to install and debug: With the help of the foldable auxiliary folding part, the base and the weather phased array surface are coordinated, the auxiliary folding part can be adaptively unfolded according to the attitude adjustment of the array surface. In the storage state, it can be completely folded and fits the main structure, effectively reducing the space occupied by the overall equipment and greatly improving the convenience of equipment storage, transfer and vehicle transportation. At the same time, the foldable unfolding structure is suitable for rapid on-site assembly and debugging, simplifying the installation process and reducing the difficulty of operation.
[0016] By using the telescopic sliding limit structure of the auxiliary folding component in conjunction with the main adjustment structure, precise travel limit of the antenna array elevation angle adjustment can be achieved. This effectively limits the maximum adjustment angle of the array, avoids structural interference and damage caused by angle overtravel, ensures the stability and safety of the radar array debugging and adjustment process, and improves the equipment's adjustment tolerance and operational stability.
[0017] By coordinating servo electric cylinders with auxiliary folding components featuring magnetorheological locking, the load-bearing mode of the traditional single servo electric cylinder is changed, achieving load diversion and effectively dispersing the array's own weight, the impact force of outdoor strong winds and airflows, and the vibration force during vehicle transportation. This significantly reduces the load pressure and alternating losses of the servo electric cylinders. At the same time, the magnetic field-controlled locking structure achieves rigid locking after attitude adjustment, and the internal protruding ribs interlock to strengthen the structural load-bearing strength. This effectively resists structural loosening and displacement caused by the impact of strong winds and airflows and vehicle vibrations, continuously and stably maintaining the array's detection attitude, and significantly improving the equipment's anti-disturbance capability and operational reliability under complex working conditions.

[0023] Secondly, the present invention is described in detail with reference to the schematic diagrams. When detailing the embodiments of the present invention, for ease of explanation, the cross-sectional views illustrating the device structure may be partially enlarged, not according to the usual scale. Furthermore, the schematic diagrams are merely examples and should not limit the scope of protection of the present invention. In addition, actual fabrication should include three-dimensional spatial dimensions of length, width, and depth.
[0024] like Figure 1 , 2As shown in Figures 3, 7, and 9, Example 1: This invention proposes a weather radar antenna that is easy to install and debug, comprising: The radar assembly 100 includes a base 101, a meteorological phased array surface 103, a connecting frame 104, and a servo electric cylinder 105. The meteorological phased array surface 103 is rotatably connected to the upper side of the base 101. The connecting frame 104 is provided in the middle of the lower side of the meteorological phased array surface 103. The servo electric cylinder 105 is hinged on the base 101, and the movable end of the servo electric cylinder 105 is hinged to the connecting frame 104. An auxiliary folding component 200 is connected between the lower side of the meteorological phased array surface 103 and the base 101.
[0025] The radar assembly 100 also includes connecting arms 102 and connecting plates 106. Two connecting plates 106 are symmetrically arranged at the bottom end of the meteorological phased array surface 103. The connecting arms 102 are inclined. Two connecting arms 102 are arranged on the upper side of the base 101. The connecting arms 102 and the connecting plates 106 correspond one-to-one. The connecting arms 102 and the corresponding connecting plates 106 are rotatably connected. The meteorological phased array surface 103 rotates around the connection point between the connecting arms 102 and the connecting plates 106. The model of the meteorological phased array 103 is KL-1.8SBPA9300-9400, and its operating frequency is 9300-9400MHz.
[0026] A pad 107 is provided on the upper side of the base 101. The pad 107 is in contact with the end of the connecting frame 104 away from the meteorological phased array surface 103. The pad 107 is a cylindrical plate and the material of the pad 107 is rubber. The pad 107 can prevent the connecting frame 104 from directly contacting the base 101. The connecting frame 104 swings and retracts towards the base 101 to achieve folding. During the folding process, the direct impact of the connecting frame 104 on the base 101 is reduced.
[0027] The auxiliary folding component 200 includes a connecting base frame 201, a second sliding column 205, a sliding groove 206, a second cylindrical platform 207, and a telescopic component 208. Two connecting base frames 201 are hinged to the upper side of the base 101, and the two connecting base frames 201 are symmetrically distributed on the base 101. The connecting base frames 201 have sliding grooves 206. Two telescopic components 208 are symmetrically hinged to the lower side of the meteorological phased array surface 103. A second cylindrical platform 207 is provided at the movable end of the telescopic component 208, and a second cylindrical platform 207 is rotatably connected to the second cylindrical platform 207. A second sliding column 205 extends into a sliding groove 206, and the second sliding column 205 is slidably connected to the sliding groove 206. The sliding groove 206 restricts the linear travel of the second sliding column 205 and the second cylindrical platform 207. When the second sliding column 205 and the second cylindrical platform 207 move to their maximum travel position at the top of the sliding groove 206, the telescopic member 208 is in a length-locked state. As the meteorological phased array surface 103 continues to swing upward, the telescopic member 208 and the adjusting member 202 open relative to each other until they are collinear. The telescopic member 208 includes a hydraulic cylinder.
[0028] The auxiliary folding component 200 also includes an adjusting component 202, a cylindrical platform 203, a sliding column 204, a connecting platform 209, an inlet 210, and a sliding channel 211. The top of the connecting base frame 201 is provided with the adjusting component 202, and the top of the adjusting component 202 is provided with the cylindrical platform 203. The cylindrical platform 203 is rotatably connected to the sliding column 204, and the sliding column 204 is movably connected to the sliding channel 211. The telescopic component 208 is provided with a connecting platform 209 on one side, and the connecting platform 209 has a sliding channel 211. The top of the sliding channel 211 has an inlet 210. A photoelectric sensor is installed inside the sliding channel 211 to detect whether the sliding column 204 has reached the inside of the sliding channel 211.
[0029] A magnetic field control mechanism 300 is provided on the connecting platform 209. The magnetic field control mechanism 300 includes a locking bladder 301, a pole shoe 302, and a magnetic field generator 303. Locking bladders 301 are provided on two opposing inner walls of the sliding channel 211. A pole shoe 302 is provided on one side of each locking bladder 301. The cavity formed by the locking bladders 301 and pole shoes 302 contains a magnetorheological fluid. A magnetic field generator 303 is provided on one side of each pole shoe 302. An adjustment cavity 304 is provided inside the magnetic field generator 303. The pole shoe 302 ensures a uniform magnetic field distribution. The sliding column 204 compresses the locking bladders 301 on both sides to form a groove enclosing the sliding column 204.
[0030] The magnetic field control mechanism 300 includes a first protrusion 311 and a second protrusion 312. The inner wall of the locking bladder 301 is provided with the first protrusion 311 at intervals, and the pole shoe 302 is provided with the second protrusion 312 at intervals. The magnetorheological fluid hardens under the action of the magnetic field, and cooperates with the first protrusion 311 and the second protrusion 312 to increase the force points, disperse stress, and improve the load-bearing capacity of the longitudinal part of the locking bladder 301 and the pole shoe 302.
[0031] The movable end of the servo electric cylinder is fixedly connected to the face-changing frame 305.
[0032] The installation of the meteorological phased array 103 is very simple. The base 101 is fixed to the carrier. The connecting plate 106 at the bottom of the meteorological phased array 103 is connected to the connecting arm 102 through a shaft, so that the meteorological phased array 103 can rotate around the top of the connecting arm 102. Then, a servo electric cylinder 105 is hinged to the base 101, and the movable end of the servo electric cylinder 105 is connected to the connecting frame 104 on the lower side of the meteorological phased array 103 through a shaft pin. Phase 1: The extension of the movable end of the servo cylinder 105 can raise and swing one end of the meteorological phased array surface 103 upward through the connecting frame 104. At this time, the control telescopic component 208 keeps its length unchanged. During the swing of the meteorological phased array surface 103, the telescopic component 208 is pulled away from the connecting base frame 201 and disengaged from the folded state. As the meteorological phased array surface 103 continues to raise the angle, the angle between the telescopic component 208 and the connecting base frame 201 becomes larger and larger until it reaches 180 degrees. At this time, the cylindrical platform 203 can be extended into the sliding channel 211 through the inlet 210 and slide in the sliding channel 211. At this time, the telescopic component 208 restores its extension capacity. The telescopic component 208 can limit the maximum elevation angle of the meteorological phased array surface 103. Phase 2: After the meteorological phased array surface 103 reaches the required angle, the magnetic field generator 303 generates a magnetic field to harden the magnetorheological fluid, locking the sliding column 204. After the magnetic field is applied, the micron-sized soft magnetic particles in the magnetorheological fluid are instantaneously magnetized and rapidly overlap along the magnetic field direction to form a continuous and dense rigid chain column structure. The apparent viscosity and shear yield stress of the fluid increase by orders of magnitude, rapidly switching from a low-viscosity Newtonian fluid to a high-shear-resistant solid-like fluid. The macroscopic flow properties are basically lost, achieving mechanical locking of the sliding column 204. This allows the auxiliary folding component 200 to share the force of the servo cylinder 105, greatly improving the device's resistance to airflow and impact. This is different from the method of relying solely on the servo cylinder for support, which would lead to excessive burden on the servo cylinder.
[0033] like Figure 1 , 2As shown in Figures 3, 6, 7 and 9, in Embodiment 2, a magnetic field control mechanism is provided on the inner side of the magnetic field generator 303, and electromagnets 310 are spaced apart inside the adjustment cavity 304. When the electromagnets 310 are energized, they generate a magnetic field. The magnetic field is more evenly distributed through the pole shoes 302. The magnetic poles of the magnetic fields generated by the two rows of electromagnets 310 on both sides of the sliding channel 211 are opposite. They are energized at the same time or de-energized at the same time to control the state of the magnetorheological fluid.
[0034] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in 3, 4, 5, 7, 8 and 9, in embodiment 3, a magnetic field physical control mechanism and a permanent magnet block 307 are provided on the inner side of the magnetic field generator 303. Several permanent magnet blocks 307 are evenly arranged on the inner side of the magnetic field generator 303. One of the permanent magnet blocks 307 in the magnetic field generator 303 is fixed and the magnetic pole always faces the sliding channel 211. Another permanent magnet block 307 inside the magnetic field generator 303 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the magnetic field generator 303 and connected to the magnetic field physical control mechanism. The magnetic field physical control mechanism includes a rotating column 308, a face-changing frame 305, and an adjustment slot 306. The face-changing frame 305 is slidably connected to the inner side of the magnetic field generator 303. Several adjustment slots 306 are spaced apart on the face-changing frame 305. A rotating shaft 309 is provided on one side of one end of the permanent magnet block 307, and a rotating column 308 is provided on the other side of the other end of the permanent magnet block 307. The rotating column 308 is rotatably connected to the permanent magnet block 307. 309 is rotatably connected to the magnetic field generator 303. The rotating column 308 corresponds one-to-one with the adjustment groove 306. The rotating column 308 extends into the adjustment groove 306. The magnetic field physical control mechanism can control the permanent magnet block 307 to flip over, so that the permanent magnet block 307 changes its orientation toward the magnetic pole of the sliding channel 211. When the magnetic poles of the permanent magnet blocks 307 on both sides of the sliding channel 211 are the same, they cancel each other out, so that the magnetic particles inside the magnetorheological fluid in the locking bag 301 cannot form a continuous and dense chain structure. The liquid maintains low viscosity and good fluidity, so that the sliding column 204 can move smoothly in the sliding channel 211. When the magnetic poles of the permanent magnet blocks 307 on both sides of the sliding channel 211 are opposite, the magnetic particles in the magnetorheological fluid will rapidly arrange themselves into a continuous chain structure along the direction of the magnetic field. The viscosity of the liquid increases sharply, and the yield strength increases significantly. It changes from a free-flowing liquid state to a near-solid state, and its fluidity is basically lost. The sliding column 204 can no longer move within the sliding channel 211, thus maintaining the elevation angle and attitude of the meteorological phased array surface 103. A magnetic field physical control mechanism controls the linear movement of the face-changing frame 305. The adjustment groove 306 on the face-changing frame 305 moves the rotating column 308, causing the permanent magnet blocks 307 to flip. When the magnetic poles of the permanent magnet blocks 307 on both sides of the sliding channel 211 are opposite, the magnetic particles in the magnetorheological fluid will rapidly arrange themselves into a continuous chain structure along the direction of the magnetic field. The viscosity of the liquid increases sharply, and the yield strength increases significantly. It changes from a free-flowing liquid state to a near-solid state, and its fluidity is basically lost. The sliding column 204 can no longer move within the sliding channel 211, thus locking the elevation angle and attitude of the meteorological phased array surface 103.
[0035] It should be understood that numerous specific implementation decisions can be made during the development of any practical implementation, such as in any engineering or design project. Such development efforts may be complex and time-consuming, but for those skilled in the art who benefit from this disclosure, the development effort will be a routine work of design, manufacturing, and production without requiring much experimentation.
[0036] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.

A magnetic field generator is provided on one side of the pole shoe. An adjustment cavity is provided on the inner side of the magnetic field generator.
7. A weather radar antenna that is easy to install and debug according to claim 6, characterized in that: The magnetic field control mechanism includes two protrusions: one and two. The inner wall of the locking bladder is provided with one protrusion at intervals, and the pole shoe is provided with two protrusions at intervals. The magnetorheological fluid hardens under the action of the magnetic field and works in conjunction with the one and two protrusions to improve the load-bearing capacity of the longitudinal part of the locking bladder and the pole shoe.
8. A weather radar antenna that is easy to install and debug according to claim 7, characterized in that: The magnetic field generating component is equipped with a magnetic field control mechanism on its inner side. Electromagnets are spaced apart inside the adjustment cavity. When the electromagnets are energized, they generate a magnetic field. The magnetic field is more evenly distributed through the pole shoes. The magnetic poles of the magnetic fields generated by the two rows of electromagnets on both sides of the sliding channel are opposite. The state of the magnetorheological fluid is controlled by energizing or de-energizing them simultaneously.
9. A weather radar antenna that is easy to install and debug according to claim 7, characterized in that: The inner side of the magnetic field generator is equipped with a magnetic field physical control mechanism and a permanent magnet block. Several permanent magnet blocks are evenly arranged on the inner side of the magnetic field generator. One of the permanent magnet blocks in the magnetic field generator is fixed and its magnetic pole always faces the sliding channel. Another permanent magnet block inside the magnetic field generator is rotatably connected to the inside of the magnetic field generator and connected to the magnetic field physical control mechanism. The magnetic field physical control mechanism includes a rotating column, a face-changing frame, and an adjustment slot. The face-changing frame is slidably connected to the inside of the magnetic field generator. Several adjustment slots are spaced apart on the face-changing frame. A rotating shaft is provided on one side of one end of the permanent magnet block, and a rotating column is provided on the other side of the other end of the permanent magnet block. The rotating column is rotatably connected to the permanent magnet block, and the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the magnetic field generator. The rotating column corresponds to the adjustment slot one by one. The rotating column extends into the adjustment slot. The magnetic field physical control mechanism can control the permanent magnet block to flip over, so that the permanent magnet block changes its orientation toward the magnetic pole of the sliding channel. When the magnetic poles of the permanent magnet blocks on both sides of the sliding channel are the same, they cancel each other out, so that the magnetic particles inside the magnetorheological fluid in the locking bladder cannot form a continuous and dense chain structure. The liquid maintains low viscosity and good fluidity, so that the sliding column can move smoothly in the sliding channel. When the magnetic poles of the permanent magnet blocks on both sides of the sliding channel are opposite, the magnetic particles in the magnetorheological fluid will rapidly arrange themselves into a continuous chain structure along the direction of the magnetic field. The viscosity of the liquid increases sharply and the yield strength increases significantly. It changes from a free-flowing liquid state to a near-solid state. The sliding column can no longer move in the sliding channel, so that the meteorological phased array surface maintains its elevation angle and attitude.
