[0018] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the utility model clearer, the implementation methods of the utility model are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the embodiments described in the utility model are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments.

[0019] In one aspect of an embodiment of the present application, a satellite flat panel antenna is provided, such as Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, it includes a lower box 1, an upper box 21 and an antenna panel 2. The antenna panel 2 is arranged on the front of the upper box 21, a rotating arm 11 is arranged on the top of the lower box 1, and both sides of the upper box 21 are rotatably connected to the rotating arm 11, so as to realize the deployment and storage of the antenna panel 2.

[0020] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 The figure shows the unfolded state, at this time, the antenna panel 2 rotates with the upper box body 21 to have a predetermined angle with the height direction of the rotating arm 11, and the surface of the antenna panel 2 is tilted upward.

[0021] like Figure 3 and Figure 4The figure shows the storage state, at this time, the upper box body 21 is rotated to the vertical state of the antenna panel 2, the surface of the antenna panel 2 is parallel to the front of the lower box body 1, and the back of the upper box body 21 is parallel to the back of the lower box body 1. When parallel, the horizontal distance between the surface of the antenna panel 2 and the front of the lower box body 1 belongs to the first preset range, and the horizontal distance between the back of the upper box body 21 and the back of the lower box body 1 belongs to the second preset range. Here, the first preset range and the second preset range can be equal or different, and either one can protrude from the other. Preferably, in this state, the surface of the antenna panel 2 is flush with the front of the lower box body 1, and the back of the upper box body 21 is flush with the back of the lower box body 1, so that the overall appearance after storage is a "plate-shaped" rectangular parallelepiped shape, which occupies a small volume and is easy to carry.

[0022] Specifically, in order to achieve the following after storage: Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the front and back sides are in a relatively flat state, a swivel arm 11 is formed on the top of the lower box body 1, and the back side of the swivel arm 11 is flush with the back side of the lower box body 1, and a recessed area 12 is provided on the front side of the swivel arm 11 relative to the front side of the lower box body 1 for accommodating the back side of the lower side of the upper box body 21 after storage, so that after storage, the lower part of the upper box body 21 can fit into the recessed area 12 on the top of the lower box body 1, so that the surface of the antenna panel 2 is flush with or parallel to the front side of the lower box body 1.

[0023] Specifically, both sides of the upper box body 21 are rotatably connected to the rotating arm 11 through a rotating shaft. A motor is provided in the upper box body 21, and the motor output shaft is connected to the rotating shaft. Power is output by the motor to provide power required for rotation.

[0024] like Figure 3 As shown, heat dissipation fins 4 are provided on the back of the upper box 21 and / or the back of the lower box 1 for providing heat dissipation when the antenna is working. Specifically, the height of the heat dissipation fins 4 does not protrude from the back of the upper box 21 and the back of the lower box 1.

[0025] In order to facilitate the antenna to maintain a supported state when in use, a folding bracket 3 is telescopically connected to the bottom of the lower box 1. The folding bracket 3 is extended and unfolded when in use, and retracted and folded when not in use. Specifically, the folding bracket 3 can adopt a bracket structure that forms a triangular support state after being unfolded, and can be in a straight line state after being stored. Preferably, in order to facilitate storage and portability, the bottom of the lower box 1 has a storage cavity 10, which can accommodate the folded and retracted folding bracket 3, so that after storage, the overall rectangular shape of the antenna is not affected, and no additional space is occupied.

[0026] For easy carrying, a handle 22 is provided on the top of the upper box body 21. Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, in order to facilitate the handle 22 to be turned out when in use and stored when not in use, a pair of mounting grooves 20 are provided on the top of the upper box body 21, and the mounting grooves 20 are connected to the back of the upper box body 21. The handle 22 is rotated and installed in the mounting grooves 20. When it is needed to be held by hand, the handle 22 can be rotated upward to a vertical state to facilitate holding the handle 22. When it is not needed, the handle 22 can be rotated downward to a horizontal state to be accommodated in the mounting groove 20. Figure 1 and Figure 3 The handle 22 is shown in a state when it is not needed.

[0027] According to another aspect of the embodiments of the present application, a portable satellite communication device comprises the satellite flat panel antenna described in the above embodiments.

[0028] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications to the present application without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application.
