Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of energy storage equipment, and in particular relates to an external antenna container. Background Art

[0002] Currently, the communication equipment of photovoltaic / energy storage projects sends / receives the operating status information of equipment scattered around the container wirelessly. The antenna needs to be installed on or near the top of the container to better send / receive wireless signals; however, due to transportation needs, the container has specific size restrictions (any internal equipment is not allowed to exceed the maximum outer contour of the container).

[0003] In order to transport the container by standard means, the antenna is installed on one side of the container (ensuring that it does not exceed the maximum outer contour of the container). However, this method will affect the signal penetration ability due to the metal box, causing signal attenuation. In the existing technology, the antenna is usually installed on the container on site or a separate pole or support frame is built near the container, which will increase the workload on site and increase labor and material costs. In addition, improper construction may also cause equipment operation failures. Utility Model Content

[0032] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by technicians in the technical field of this application; the terms used in the specification of the application herein are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this application; the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof in the specification and claims of this application and the above-mentioned drawings are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of this application or the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish different objects, not to describe a specific order.

[0033] Reference to "embodiments" herein means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in conjunction with the embodiments may be included in at least one embodiment of the present application. The appearance of the phrase in various locations in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It is explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.

[0034] The utility model embodiment provides an external antenna container, such as Figure 1-Figure 5As shown, the external antenna container includes:

[0035] A container 100, wherein the container 100 includes a frame 110 and an electrical device 120 arranged in the frame 110;

[0036] The antenna assembly 200 includes an antenna body 210 and a folding member, and the folding member includes a base 220 and a hinge 230;

[0037] The base 220 is arranged on the frame 110, one end of the hinge 230 is connected to the base 220, and the other end is connected to the antenna body 210. When the hinge 230 is in an unfolded state, one end of the antenna body 210 is connected to the frame 110 and the other end droops naturally. When the antenna body 210 droops naturally, its structure will not exceed the outer contour of the frame 110. When the hinge 230 is flipped and folded, the antenna assembly 200 extends out of the outer contour of the frame 110 by flipping.

[0038] The antenna body 210 is composed of a U-shaped plate, a mounting plate and an antenna fixed on the mounting plate. One end of the U-shaped plate is hingedly connected to the hinge, and the mounting plate is located at the end of the U-shaped plate away from the hinge 230.

[0039] In this embodiment, the structures of the frame 110 and the electrical device 120 are the same as those in the prior art. During the transportation of the container, the external devices of the container are all stored inside the frame 110 to prevent the device components from extending out of the outer contour of the frame 110. The antenna body 210 in the antenna assembly 200 is mainly a prior art device, which is responsible for signal transmission and reception. Its internal structure mainly adopts prior art devices such as antenna elements, which will not be described in detail here.

[0040] The frame 110 is mainly composed of a bottom beam, columns and cross beams. The bottom beam forms a rectangular structure as a base in contact with the ground. The columns are arranged at the corners of the bottom beam, and the cross beams are respectively connected between different columns. The cross beam cooperates with the top plate to provide a shelter for the electrical equipment 120 arranged below. The base 220 is arranged on the end face of the cross beam facing the ground. This design avoids the base 220 being arranged on the outer contour of the frame 110, thereby reducing damage to the antenna assembly 200 during transportation.

[0041] As a preferred implementation in this embodiment, the crossbeam is provided with a mounting assembly, and the mounting assembly includes a screw hole provided on the crossbeam and a stud matched with the screw hole;

[0042] The antenna body 210 is provided with a through hole adapted to the stud, and after the antenna body 210 is turned around the base 220, the position of the through hole on the antenna body 210 will correspond to the position of the screw hole, and the stud is pushed into the through hole and installed in the screw hole to complete the fixing of the antenna body 210 during transportation, thereby preventing the antenna body 210 from shaking during transportation;

[0043] After the antenna body 210 is turned over, a shock-absorbing rubber pad is provided on one side of the antenna body 210 close to the crossbeam to support and protect the antenna body 210;

[0044] In the natural sagging stage of the antenna body 210, the side walls and columns of the U-shaped plate are provided with corresponding limiting screw holes, and the studs are installed on the side walls and columns of the U-shaped plate for fixing in the sagging stage. When it is necessary to flip, the studs are removed and reassembled into the screw holes on the antenna body 210 and the crossbeam;

[0045] As a preferred implementation in this embodiment, one side of the base 220 is connected to the frame 110. Here, the connection method can be fixed to the frame 110 by welding, or screw holes can be opened on the frame 110 and assembled using a bolt structure, which is convenient for disassembly and installation;

[0046] The side of the base 220 connected to the frame 110 is a mounting plane, the side wall of the base 220 on which the hinge 230 is arranged is a folding plane, the mounting plane is arranged perpendicular to the folding plane, and the hinge 230 is parallel to the folding plane in an unfolded state;

[0047] As a preferred implementation in this embodiment, the antenna body 210 is electrically connected to the control system of the electrical device 120 through a line, and the antenna body 210 is arranged outside the frame 110 through the line to prevent the reception of electromagnetic wave signals of the antenna body 210 from being interfered by metal materials such as the frame 110, thereby affecting the propagation of the signal. The internal space of the U-shaped plate is used to arrange the line, and the line is connected to the antenna;

[0048] Here’s how this application works:

[0049] During the transportation stage, the antenna assembly 200 is located as a whole within the outer contour of the container 100, and the antenna assembly 200 is in the storage state. At this time, the hinge 230 is in the unfolded state, and the antenna body 210 naturally droops and shrinks within the outer contour of the frame 110. The end of the antenna body 210 away from the base 220 points to the ground. After reaching the designated area, the antenna body 210 is deflected to turn the antenna assembly 200 into the unfolded state, and the hinge 230 is in the folded state. The antenna body 210 is flipped and extends out of the outer contour of the frame 110; the end of the antenna body 210 away from the base 220 points to the sky. At this time, the screw hole and the through hole are aligned, and the antenna body 210 is fixed to the frame 110 by a bolt structure, thereby completing the fixation of the antenna assembly 200;

[0050] The antenna assembly 200 is transformed between the storage state and the unfolded state by folding and rotating, which can reduce the difficulty of assembling the antenna assembly 200 on site and improve the efficiency of assembling the antenna assembly 200 on site while meeting the signal transmission effect of the unfolded antenna. At the same time, the storage state is used to avoid damage to the antenna assembly 200 caused by external collisions during transportation, and reduce the extra space occupied by the external antenna container.
