When receiving the signal adjustment instruction, the PLC controller 25 conveys the instruction to the stepper motor 8 and the servo motor 7, and the stepper motor 8 is activated and starts to rotate. The reducer 9 provides a larger torque output and reduction ratio, converting the high-speed and low-torque output of the stepper motor 8 into the low-speed and high-torque output of the connecting shaft 10, and then synchronously drives the connecting shaft 10 to rotate. The bevel gear 11 on the connecting shaft 10 is meshed with the bevel gear 2 12 on the column 2, and the rotational motion is transmitted to the column 2 through meshing. With the rotation of the column 2, the connecting seat 4 and the movable bracket 5 and the antenna body 6 also rotate together. In addition, the servo motor 7 controls the movable bracket 5 and the antenna body 6 to rotate up and down, and then the pitch angle of the antenna body 6 can be adjusted, so that the direction and angle of the antenna body 6 can be accurately adjusted to best receive satellite signals. Once the signal adjustment is completed, the stepper motor 8 and the servo motor 7 stop running, and the device remains in the new adjustment position to ensure continuous and stable signal reception.
