Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model specifically relates to an antenna sensor main control box, an antenna sensor, an antenna and a base station. Background Art

[0002] As the number of wireless base stations increases, the pressure on operators' wireless network operation and maintenance increases year by year. The traditional operation and maintenance model that relies on manpower is no longer sustainable, and it is urgent to transform towards wireless intelligent operation and maintenance. The basis for realizing the intelligent operation and maintenance of operators' wireless networks is to intelligently manage the posture of base station antennas in the entire network. In recent years, with the continuous development of smart antennas and antenna sensing technologies, operators have also begun to deploy antenna posture sensors (or antenna posture meters) on a large scale, and collect the posture data of base station antennas by mounting antenna sensors on base station antennas.

[0003] Antenna sensors are currently available in two forms: built-in and external. There are not many products with built-in antenna sensors. The main reason is that the repair of built-in antenna sensors requires the entire antenna or AAU to be returned to the factory, and it needs to be reinstalled after the repair. The overall maintenance cost is very high. External antenna sensor products are divided into top-mounted and back-mounted types.

[0004] At present, most of the external antenna sensors in the industry adopt the top-mounted solution. The limitations of the existing top-mounted external antenna sensors are mainly divided into the following aspects:

[0005] 1. Currently, top-mounted antenna sensors mainly use AISG cables to power the antenna sensors and transmit data back. However, when installing antenna sensors on existing base station antennas, there may be problems with missing or unavailable AISG interfaces, and the cost of installing external power supply and transmission methods is high.

[0006] 2. The current top-mounted antenna sensor requires that the top of the base station antenna have mounting holes to fix the sensor main control box. However, there are many types of stock antennas in the operator's existing network, and the old antennas do not meet the installation conditions for external antenna sensors.

[0007] 3. The current top-mounted antenna sensor requires operation on the top of the base station antenna during installation and maintenance, which places high demands on workers and poses construction safety risks.

[0008] It can be seen that the top-mounted antenna sensor requires the base station antenna to have fixed holes, and cannot be applied to existing base station antennas without installation holes, and needs to be powered and transmitted through AISG. The back-mounted antenna sensor can be applied to various types of existing base station antennas. With the back-mounted external antenna sensor, the antenna sensor can be powered by a battery, and the wireless transmission module can be used for data backhaul. Workers do not need to climb to the top of the antenna to operate, which makes installation and maintenance more convenient. However, since the back-mounted antenna sensor needs to work outdoors in complex environments such as high temperature or rain and snow, the antenna sensor main control box has high requirements for high temperature resistance, aging resistance, and waterproofness.

[0032] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0033] In the description of the present invention, it is necessary to understand that the orientations or positional relationships indicated by various orientation terms are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0034] Some embodiments of the present utility model provide an antenna sensor main control box, such as Figure 1 As shown, the antenna sensor main control box 100 includes a housing 00 .

[0035] like Figure 2 As shown, a connecting portion 11 is disposed outside the housing 00 , and the connecting portion 11 is used to be connected to a sensor body 21 of the antenna sensor 02 .

[0036] In some embodiments, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the connection part 11 is arranged on the back 01 of the housing 00, and the connection part 11 is detachably connected to the connecting rod 22 of the antenna sensor 02, and a feeder port 111 is arranged on the housing 00 near the connecting rod 22. The antenna sensor main control circuit board is connected to the feeder in the connecting rod 22 through the feeder port 111, and the feeder in the connecting rod 22 is also connected to the sensor body 21.

[0037] It is understandable that, since the working environment of the antenna sensor main control box 100 is outdoors, considering the influence of external vibration and strong wind, auxiliary adhesive may be used to reinforce the connection between the connecting part 11 and the connecting rod 22 .

[0038] It is understandable that the embodiments of the present invention do not limit the specific form of the connecting portion 11. For example, Figure 3 As shown, when the connecting rod 22 is a round rod, the connecting portion 11 can be an arc groove provided on the back 01 of the housing 00, so that the connecting rod 22 can be inserted into the arc of the connecting portion 11. For example, the connecting portion 11 can also be a hook, which can be detachably hung on the connecting rod 22. In this case, the connecting rod 22 can be a round rod or a square rod.

[0039] Understandably, if Figure 3 As shown, by setting the connecting part 11 on the back of the shell 00 and connecting it to the connecting rod 22 by snapping, the antenna sensor main control box 100 and the connecting rod 22 are a whole plane, which can ensure the consistency of the antenna sensor 02 with the base station antenna after installation.

[0040] like Figures 4 to 10 As shown, the interior of the housing 00 is divided into a first space 31 and a second space 32 by a partition 03 .

[0041] It can be understood that the edge of the partition 03 is connected to the shell 00, so that the first space 31 and the second space 32 are two independent spaces.

[0042] like Figures 4 to 7 As shown, an antenna sensor main control circuit board (not shown) and a capacitor (not shown) are arranged in the first space 31. The antenna sensor main control circuit board is electrically connected to the sensor body 21 of the antenna sensor 02 and the capacitor respectively.

[0043] It can be understood that the antenna sensor main control circuit board is electrically connected to the sensor body 21 of the antenna sensor 02 respectively, which means that the antenna sensor main control circuit board is connected to the sensor body 21 through the feeder port 111 and the feeder in the connecting rod 22 .

[0044] In some embodiments, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a main control cover plate 311 for sealing the first space 31 is provided on the housing 01 , and the main control cover plate 311 is located outside the first space 31 .

[0045] In some embodiments, Figures 4 to 6 As shown, grooves 312 are provided on the four edges of the main control cover plate 311, and a protrusion 313 matching the groove 312 is provided on the edge of the shell 00 close to the main control cover plate 311, the protrusion 313 is snap-fitted with the groove 312 (i.e., the protrusion 313 is snapped into the groove 312), and a sealant is provided at the connection between the protrusion 313 and the groove 312.

[0046] It can be understood that the edge of the main control cover 311 adopts a groove design, which can facilitate the packaging of the sealant during assembly, thereby making the first space 31 more airtight.

[0047] For example, Figure 4As shown, a plurality of main control circuit installation devices (e.g., main control circuit installation device 314, main control circuit installation device 315, main control circuit installation device 316, and main control circuit installation device 317) for installing or fixing the antenna sensor main control circuit may be provided in the first space 31. A plurality of capacitor installation devices (e.g., capacitor installation device 318 and capacitor installation device 319) for installing or fixing capacitors may also be provided in the first space 31.

[0048] like Figures 8 to 10 As shown, a battery (not shown) is arranged in the second space 32. The battery supplies power to the antenna sensor main control circuit board and the capacitor through the power connector 34 arranged on the partition 03.

[0049] In some embodiments, a battery cover (not shown in the figure) is detachably provided on the housing 00 outside the second space 32 .

[0050] For example, the battery cover may be designed to be openable by snapping, so as to facilitate opening the second space 32 for routine maintenance or replacement of the battery.

[0051] In some embodiments, Figure 1 and Figure 8 As shown, the second space 32 is disposed at the bottom 04 in the housing 00 .

[0052] It can be understood that the second space 32 is arranged at the bottom 04 inside the shell 00. When the battery cover is removable, that is, there is a gap between the second space 32 and the space outside the shell 00, then when it rains outdoors, even if rainwater flows into the second space, it can flow to the outside of the shell 00 through the gap between the second space 32 and the space outside the shell 00, which can effectively avoid water accumulation in the second space 32. The second space 32 is used to store batteries, so as to avoid the batteries being soaked in water and causing damage to the antenna sensor main control circuit, capacitors and the loop of the antenna sensor 21.

[0053] In some embodiments, the power connector 34 passes through the hole 33 on the partition 03 and is electrically connected to the battery and the main control circuit board respectively. A sealing rubber ring is provided at the edge of the hole 33 on the partition 03.

[0054] It can be understood that the sealing rubber ring is provided at the edge of the hole 33 on the partition 03 in order to ensure a more secure waterproof design between the first space 31 and the second space 32 .

[0055] In some embodiments, the power connector 34 is an aviation-grade power connector.

[0056] For example, Figures 8 to 10As shown, the first part 341 of the power connector 34 is arranged in the second space 32, the first part 341 of the power connector 34 is plugged into the second part 342 of the power connector 34, and the third part 343 of the power connector 34 passes through the hole 33 on the partition 03 and extends into the first space 31.

[0057] It can be understood that using an aviation-grade power plug and providing a sealing rubber ring at the edge of the hole 33 on the partition 03 can effectively prevent water vapor from entering the first space 31 through the hole 33 on the partition 03, thereby preventing water vapor from staying in the first space 31 and damaging the antenna sensor main control current board.

[0058] It can be understood that some embodiments of the present invention provide a shell 00 of an antenna sensor main control box 100, the interior of which is divided into a first space 31 and a second space 32 by a partition 03, and the antenna sensor main control circuit board is placed in the first space 31, and the battery is placed in the second space 32, the first space 31 is provided with a main control cover 311 for sealing the first space 31, and the second space 32 is provided with a detachable battery cover, that is, the antenna sensor main control circuit board and the battery are designed with compartments according to actual needs, while facilitating daily maintenance or replacement of the battery, it does not undermine the requirements of outdoor work on the waterproof level of the space where the antenna sensor main control circuit is located, so that the antenna sensor main control box 100 can have a longer service life.

[0059] It is understandable that since the antenna sensor main control box 100 works outdoors, the influence of temperature, rain, vibration and strong wind in the external environment must be considered, and the requirements of high temperature resistance, good waterproofness, and light volume and weight must be considered. The shell 00 and the internal partition 03 of the antenna sensor main control box 100 are both made of anti-aging and high temperature resistant materials. In addition, the antenna sensor main control box 100 can adopt a semi-arc layered design so that the antenna sensor main control box 100 has a structure with a small volume and weight, so that the antenna sensor main control box 100 can meet the installation of ER34615+HPC1550 batteries, capacitors and antenna sensor main control circuit boards, and can also effectively ensure the isolation between the antenna sensor main control circuit board and the external environment after installation, and better meet the requirements of high temperature resistance and waterproofness of the equipment in the outdoor environment. Therefore, the antenna sensor main control box 100 has technical characteristics such as high isolation, good waterproofness, and strong portability, and can meet the outdoor working requirements of the antenna sensor such as high temperature resistance, anti-aging, waterproofness, battery power supply, and wireless data return.

[0060] Some embodiments of the present invention provide an antenna sensor, such as Figure 2 and Fig.11As shown, the antenna sensor 02 includes a sensor body 21 (for example, the sensor body 21 may include a first sensor body 211 and a second sensor body 212, and the first sensor body 211 and the second sensor body 212 are electrically connected) and an antenna sensor main control box 100. The antenna sensor main control box 100 is connected to the sensor body 21 through a connecting portion 11. The sensor body 21 of the antenna sensor 02 is electrically connected to the antenna sensor main control circuit board.

[0061] In some embodiments, Figure 2 and Fig.11 As shown, the antenna sensor 02 further includes a connecting rod 22 , which can be inserted into the connecting portion 11 , so that the sensor body 21 of the antenna sensor 02 is connected to the antenna sensor main control box 100 through the connecting rod 22 .

[0062] Exemplarily, the first sensor body 211 and the second sensor body 212 can be GPS antennas respectively (for example, the first sensor body 211 and the second sensor body 212 can both be GPS antennas). After the first sensor body 211 and the second sensor body 212 receive a signal, the received signal can be transmitted back to the antenna sensor main control circuit board through the feeder in the connecting rod 22, so that the antenna sensor main control circuit board performs signal processing.

[0063] Since the antenna sensor needs to be adapted to various types of base station antennas, the connecting rod 22 can be designed as a retractable structure, and the antenna sensor main control box 100 can be any antenna sensor main control box 100 provided in the above embodiments.
