Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of corner reflectors, in particular to a fixing bracket for an INSAR radar corner reflector. Background Art

[0002] Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (INSAR) is a high-precision remote sensing technology that obtains surface deformation information through the phase difference of radar signals, and is widely used in geological disaster monitoring, infrastructure stability assessment and other fields. As a key auxiliary device, the corner reflector (CR) can enhance the radar echo signal and provide stable control points, but its performance often depends on the stability and accuracy of the fixing bracket. Traditional fixing brackets need to meet requirements such as rigid stability, strong weather resistance, accurate satellite pointing and convenient installation. They usually use aluminum alloy or stainless steel materials to resist wind load, temperature deformation and corrosion effects, and at the same time need to have functions such as angle adjustment to ensure that the main lobe of the reflector can accurately align with the satellite orbit (such as the fixed incident angle of Sentinel-1).

[0003] The applicant retrieved and obtained the following prior art. Specifically, the patent with the publication number CN215598407U discloses a corner reflector device for monitoring benchmarks, including a base, an adjustment component and an observation component. The base includes an upper plate, a lower support beam and a connecting column. The upper end of the connecting column is connected to the upper plate, and the lower end is connected to the lower support beam; the adjustment component includes an upper disc, a lower disc and a bracket; the lower disc is fixed on the upper plate; the upper disc is provided with an arc hole, and the upper disc and the lower disc are movably connected by a guiding screw passing through the arc hole; the bottom of the bracket is connected to the upper disc; the bracket includes a left support bracket, a right support bracket and a front support bracket; the front support bracket is movably connected to the adjustment bracket; this utility model is a corner reflector device that combines InSAR and GNSS, and at the same time includes a detachable level measurement component. The rotation adjustment of the device is realized by adopting an orbital base and chassis, and the adaptability for long-term field operation is improved by adopting ventilation and drainage holes, meeting the needs of the corner reflector as a monitoring benchmark.

[0004] It can be seen from the above patent that although the corner reflector device used for monitoring the benchmark realizes the rotation adjustment of the device by adopting a track-type base and chassis, and adopts ventilation and drainage holes to improve the adaptability of long-term operation in the field, and meets the needs of the corner reflector as a monitoring benchmark, the device can only rotate and pitch the corner reflector, and cannot achieve precise position adjustment of the corner reflector in the horizontal plane according to actual use. If there is an installation deviation in the base (such as uneven foundation or construction error, etc.), it is difficult to fully compensate only by rotation and pitch adjustment, which can easily lead to a fixed offset between the corner reflector and the preset monitoring position, and it is difficult to meet the requirements of the corner reflector for precise alignment with the satellite radar. This not only reduces the flexibility of the corner reflector, but also has a small adjustment range, and cannot guarantee the accuracy and reliability of the monitoring data. Utility Model Content

[0007] Preferably, a positioning groove is provided on the base along its extension direction, and a connecting seat is provided on the bracket at a position corresponding to the positioning groove. The adjustment assembly includes an adjusting rod and a fastener, one end of the adjusting rod is hinged to the corner reflector, and the other end passes through the connecting seat and the positioning groove in sequence and is detachably connected to the fastener.

[0029] Embodiment 1:

[0030] The present utility model provides a fixing bracket 100 for an INSAR radar corner reflector.

[0031] In an embodiment of the present utility model, a fixing bracket 100 for an INSAR radar corner reflector includes a base 1, a bracket 2, and an adjusting assembly 3. The base 1 is provided with a limiting groove 4 along its circumferential direction, and the base 1 is detachably installed at a preset position through a locking member passing through the limiting groove 4; the bracket 2 is installed on the base 1 in a limited and movable manner and is used for installing the corner reflector 200; one end of the bracket 2 is movably connected to the corner reflector 200, and the other end is provided with an adjusting assembly 3 drivingly connected to the corner reflector 200, and the adjusting assembly 3 is used to drive the corner reflector 200 to move.

[0032] Specifically, as Figures 1 to 4As shown, during the use of a fixing bracket 100 for an INSAR radar corner reflector of the present utility model, since a limiting groove 4 is formed along the circumferential direction at the bottom of the base 1, it enables the staff to pass locking parts such as screws through the limiting groove 4 and connect the locking parts to the installation structure (such as a base station, etc.) at a preset position, thereby realizing the rapid installation of the fixing bracket 100 for an INSAR radar corner reflector of the present utility model. The structural design is simple and reasonable. At the same time, when it is necessary to adjust the orientation of the corner reflector 200 in the horizontal plane, the staff first loosens the locking part passing through the limiting groove 4 to release the fixed constraint between the base 1 and the installation structure. At this time, the staff can horizontally rotate the base 1 along the extension direction of the limiting groove 4, so that the rotation movement of the base 1 can synchronously drive the connected bracket 2 and the corner reflector 200 to adjust the orientation. And after the corner reflector 200 rotates to the preset target orientation, the staff can re-tighten the locking part to complete the orientation fixation of the corner reflector 200 in the horizontal plane. It is not only simple to operate and convenient to install, but also can meet the benchmark requirements of high-precision INSAR monitoring.

[0033] Furthermore, since the bracket 2 is installed on the base 1 in a limited and movable manner, the limited and movable installation method of the bracket 2 on the base 1 can be sliding clamping. For example, the staff can install a guide rail or form a sliding groove on the top of the base 1, and make the bracket 2 in sliding contact with the guide rail or the sliding groove, and fix and limit the bracket 2 by means of a snap pin, a pin shaft or a bolt connection, etc., so that the bracket 2 can perform linear displacement adjustment along the extension direction of the guide rail or the sliding groove in the horizontal plane. The structural design is simple and reasonable. At the same time, since the corner reflector 200 is installed on the bracket 2, the corner reflector 200 can move synchronously with the bracket 2. Furthermore, it can not only realize the precise position adjustment of the corner reflector 200 in the horizontal plane, but also compensate for the installation deviation caused by uneven ground or construction errors, etc., expand the adjustment range, improve the use flexibility, and effectively ensure the accuracy and reliability of the monitoring data.

[0034] Understandably, in a fixed bracket 100 of an INSAR radar corner reflector according to the present utility model, one end of the bracket 2 is hinged to the corner reflector 200, and an adjustment assembly 3 drivingly connected to the corner reflector 200 is provided at the other end. The adjustment assembly 3 can be a rack and pinion mechanism (the rack and pinion mechanism drives the linear movement of the rack through the rotation of the pinion, that is, the rack is hinged to the corner reflector 200) or a worm and worm gear transmission mechanism (the worm and worm gear transmission uses the rotation of the worm gear to drive the worm to achieve linear displacement, that is, the worm is hinged to the corner reflector 200) and other linear driving devices, so that the corner reflector 200 can lift and swing relative to the bracket 2 around the hinge point under the action of the adjustment assembly 3, thereby realizing the precise pitch angle adjustment of the corner reflector 200, and thus meeting the visual direction requirement of accurately aligning the corner reflector 200 with the satellite radar, further expanding the adjustment range, and ensuring that the corner reflector 200 can be stably maintained at a preset reasonable reflection angle for a long time to meet the high-precision requirements of INSAR monitoring.

[0035] In one embodiment, a positioning groove 5 is formed in the base 1 along its extending direction. A connecting seat 6 is provided at the position of the bracket 2 corresponding to the positioning groove 5. The adjustment assembly 3 includes an adjustment rod 7 and a fastener 8. One end of the adjustment rod 7 is hinged to the corner reflector 200, and the other end sequentially passes through the connecting seat 6 and the positioning groove 5 and is detachably connected to the fastener 8. Specifically, as Figures 1 to 4 shown, the adjustment rod 7 can be a screw rod in the prior art, and the fastener 8 can be a nut threadedly engaged with the adjustment rod 7. The screw rod and the nut both have the characteristics of simple structure, easy material selection, and convenient disassembly and assembly, so as to facilitate the staff to adjust the horizontal position and angular orientation of the corner reflector 200.

[0036] Furthermore, when it is necessary to adjust the horizontal position of the corner reflector 200, the staff can push the adjustment rod 7 along the extending direction of the positioning groove 5 after loosening the fastener 8. Since the adjustment rod 7 passes through the connecting seat 6 and the positioning groove 5 and is hinged to the corner reflector 200, the staff can drive the corner reflector 200 to move relative to the base 1 synchronously during the process of pushing the adjustment rod 7, and after the adjustment is in place, the fastener 8 can be tightened again to complete the limit fixation of the bracket 2 and the corner reflector 200. Thus, not only can the precise position adjustment of the corner reflector 200 in the horizontal plane be realized, but also the defect that the existing corner reflector 200 cannot be adjusted horizontally is made up, and the use is flexible and convenient. Understandably, when it is necessary to adjust the angular orientation of the corner reflector 200, the staff can screw the fastener 8, and drive the adjustment rod 7 to generate an axial displacement through the precise transmission of the thread pair (the fastener 8 and the adjustment rod 7), thereby precisely controlling the pitch angle of the corner reflector 200 around the hinge point and completing the pitch adjustment of the corner reflector 200 to meet the visual direction requirement of aligning the corner reflector 200 with the satellite radar.

[0037] It should be noted that in the actual production and manufacturing process of a fixed bracket 100 for an INSAR radar corner reflector of the present utility model, at least two adjusting rods 7 arranged at intervals are inserted into the positioning grooves 5, so as to prevent the bracket 2 from deflecting relative to the base 1 during the horizontal movement adjustment through multiple adjusting rods 7, ensuring the stability of the movement adjustment of the bracket 2. The structural design is simple and reasonable.

[0038] In another embodiment, as Figure 3 shown, guiding grooves 9 are respectively formed on both sides of the positioning groove 5, and the guiding grooves 9 are in the same extending direction as the positioning groove 5. A convex platform that is in sliding contact and cooperation with the guiding grooves 9 is formed on the bracket 2. It can be understood that when the bracket 2 is adjusted horizontally, the sliding contact and cooperation between the convex platform and the guiding grooves 9 can ensure the linearity of the movement of the bracket 2, effectively preventing phenomena such as deflection or jamming of the bracket 2 during the adjustment process.

[0039] In yet another embodiment, as Figure 1 shown, it further includes a sliding table, and the sliding table is arranged on the base 1 and is used to drive the bracket 2 and the corner reflector 200 to move relative to the base 1. It can be understood that a fixed bracket 100 for an INSAR radar corner reflector of the present utility model can drive the bracket 2 and the corner reflector 200 to perform horizontal position adjustment relative to the base 1 by adopting a sliding table, and the sliding table is preferably a linear screw sliding table driven by a servo motor, so as to be able to drive the bracket 2 and the corner reflector 200 to perform automatic horizontal position adjustment through the sliding table, and remote control can be realized through the Internet of Things module, and the corner reflector 200 can be automatically adjusted to a preset coordinate position in cooperation with satellite positioning data, without manual participation of staff in the adjustment operation, which not only reduces the labor intensity of the staff, but also simplifies the adjustment steps and improves the adjustment and installation efficiency.

[0040] In one embodiment, it can be understood that, as Figures 1 to 4 shown, the adjusting assembly 3 is any one of a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder or an electric push rod, and the power output end of the adjusting assembly 3 is hinged to the corner reflector 200, so as to be able to automatically perform pitching adjustment on the corner reflector 200 through the adjusting assembly 3 without manual intervention in the pitching adjustment operation, further improving the adjustment and installation efficiency of the corner reflector 200 and significantly enhancing the convenience of the pitching adjustment of the corner reflector 200.

[0041] In one embodiment, the bracket 2 includes a plurality of columns 10, and the plurality of columns 10 are arranged at intervals and are hinged to the corner reflector 200. Specifically, as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 4 shown, the corner reflector 200 can be supported and hinged at multiple points through the plurality of columns 10, so as to ensure the installation stability of the corner reflector 200, improve the overall structural strength and be reliable in use.

[0042] In one embodiment, a plurality of limiting grooves 4 are evenly spaced along the circumferential direction of the bottom of the base 1. Specifically, as Figure 1 shown, the base 1 can be connected and fixed at multiple points through the plurality of limiting grooves 4 and the locking members, thereby significantly improving the installation stability of the base 1 at the preset position and effectively enhancing the anti-overturning performance of the base 1.

[0043] The foregoing is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, various changes and modifications can be made to the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included within the protection scope of the present application.
