Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of antenna waterproofing, in particular to an outdoor waterproof 4G antenna. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of wireless communication technology, 4G networks are increasingly used in marine environments. Ships need stable 4G network connections when sailing at sea to achieve data transmission, positioning and communication functions.
[0003] The existing antenna waterproof technology mostly adopts the method of directly installing the land outdoor waterproof antenna on the ship for use. However, this method often faces salt spray corrosion, strong wind and bad climate in the marine environment during use, which can easily corrode the ordinary antenna. For example, a Chinese patent discloses "an outdoor waterproof 4G antenna" with an application number of "CN202320216865.6". It adopts an elastic inner pad with greater elasticity than the waterproof pad in the grooves on both sides of the waterproof gasket. The height of the elastic inner pad is slightly higher than the depth of the groove. During installation, the elastic inner pad is first squeezed to seal the antenna, and the nut is tightened continuously so that the waterproof gasket performs secondary sealing on the antenna, which has a good sealing effect. Even if the waterproof gasket is affected after long-term use, the elastic inner pads on both sides can continue to seal the antenna, and the waterproof effect is good. The setting of the anti-slip flower pad can prevent the nut from loosening during long-term use or being touched, prevent the antenna sealing from being affected, and improve the waterproof effect and sealing of the antenna. However, the compression degree of the elastic inner pad needs to be accurately controlled during installation, and the anti-slip flower pad may cause difficulties in disassembly and maintenance. It needs to be replaced for a long time, has a large loss rate, and cannot be used at sea. Utility Model Content
