[0029] In the prior art, the cover 2 is generally a detachable top cover. During the installation of the base station antenna, the radiation unit, the reflector and the isolation sheet are installed first. They are all integrated inside the antenna cover 1, and then the feeder extends from the bottom, which makes the disassembly and maintenance more troublesome and inefficient. In the utility model, by designing the cooperation between the two connecting rods 7, the base 6 and the assembly sleeve 3, one of the connecting rods 7 can flip the assembly sleeve 3 during the rotation, so that the antenna cover 1 is flipped from one position to another. Therefore, the direction of the cover 2 can be changed. The cover 2 originally faces upward. After flipping, the cover 2 faces downward, which makes it easier for maintenance personnel to disassemble the cover 2 and helps to take the devices inside the antenna cover 1. Secondly, after the antenna cover 1 is installed, the inclination angle of the antenna cover 1 needs to be adjusted, and the angle of the assembly sleeve 3 and the antenna cover 1 can be adjusted by adjusting the rotation of one of the connecting rods 7, thereby meeting the mechanical inclination requirements of the antenna cover 1.

[0030] The base 6, the connecting rod 7, the antenna cover 1 and the assembly set 3 constitute the base station antenna and the adjustment system.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment, the lock comprises a rotating shaft that rotates and passes through the base 6, the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to one of the connecting rods 7, a worm 14 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the rotating shaft, a worm 14 meshingly connected with the worm wheel 13 is also installed on the base 6, and a knob is installed at the end of the worm 14, see Figure 4 In this embodiment, the worm 14 can be used to control the rotation of the worm wheel 13 and the rotating shaft. Synchronously, one of the connecting rods 7 can also be rotated to control the mechanical inclination angle of the antenna cover 1, or to flip the antenna cover 1 for easy maintenance. Secondly, the transmission of the worm 14 and the worm wheel 13 has a self-locking property to improve stability.

[0032] In a preferred embodiment, the rotating unit includes an assembly rod 5 fixedly mounted on the top of the holding rod 4, and a hoop 8 is rotatably mounted on the assembly rod 5.

After the positioning holes on the sugar base 6 are connected with the pin holes on the supporting plate 9, the locking pins 12 are inserted into the positioning holes and the pin holes, so that the locking pins 12 can limit the displacement of the base 6 and complete the locking of the base 6. Secondly, the locking pin 12 is a folding rod structure, which has a transverse folding part that can limit the locking pin 12.

[0035] Based on the rotating unit embodiment, the outer wall of the assembly rod 5 has a flange extending outward, and the bottom of the hoop 8 abuts against the outer wall of the flange. The flange can be used to support the bottom of the hoop 8. At the same time, a clamping force can be formed between the hoop 8 and the assembly rod 5, so that the hoop 8 can better support the base station antenna.
