Description

Technical Field:

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of antenna tuners, and particularly relates to an automatic continuous antenna tuner for a radio station. Background Art:

[0002] An antenna tuner is an impedance matching network connecting a transmitter and an antenna. The input impedance of the antenna varies greatly with frequency, while the output impedance of the transmitter is constant. If the transmitter is directly connected to the antenna, when the transmitter frequency changes, the impedance between the transmitter and the antenna is mismatched, which will reduce the radiation power. By using an antenna tuner, the impedance between the transmitter and the antenna can be matched, so that the antenna has the maximum radiation power at any frequency. The current antenna tuner mainly uses a control circuit and relays for tuning, and relies on the relays to set the tuning points. Each relay corresponds to a tuning point value. Due to the limited number of relays, the tuning points cannot cover all tuning values. When the tuning point is between two tuning values, only the nearest tuning value can be selected, which will lead to inaccurate tuning, and the impedance between the transmitter and the antenna cannot be fully matched, thus affecting the radiation power.

[0003] In summary, the above problems of the existing antenna tuner have become technical problems that need to be solved urgently in the industry. Content of the Utility Model:

[0004] The utility model provides an automatic continuous antenna tuner for a radio station to make up for the deficiencies of the existing technology, and solves the problem that the tuning is inaccurate and the radiation power is affected by relying on relays to set the tuning points in the past.

A coil is wound outside the coil bobbin and the bobbin cover plate. A magnetic ring slideway is arranged inside the coil bobbin, and a magnetic ring is movably arranged inside the magnetic ring slideway.

The magnetic ring fixing frame is connected to a rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft passes through the central hole of the main fixing frame and is connected to the output shaft of the motor.

[0007] Two connecting columns are arranged on one side of the main fixing frame, and nuts are reserved inside the connecting columns. The motor is provided with ear plates corresponding to the two connecting columns, and bolts pass through the ear plates and are fixedly connected to the nuts.

[0010] At both bottom ends of the coil skeleton, a square positioning post and a circular positioning post are respectively provided, and on the main fixing frame, a square positioning hole and a circular positioning hole that are matched with the square positioning post and the circular positioning post are provided.

[0011] The skeleton cover plate is fixed by a buckle provided at the top of the coil skeleton.

Specific implementation manner:

[0023] To clearly illustrate the technical features of this solution, the present utility model will be elaborated in detail below through specific implementation manners and in conjunction with its accompanying drawings.

[0024] Combined with the embodiment shown in Figures 1-4 An automatic continuous antenna tuner for a radio station includes a main fixing frame 1. One side of the main fixing frame 1 is connected to a motor 2, and on the other side of the main fixing frame 1, a coil skeleton 3 is installed. A skeleton cover plate 4 is provided at the top of the coil skeleton 3. A coil is wound outside the coil skeleton 3 and the skeleton cover plate 4. A magnetic ring slideway 5 is provided inside the coil skeleton 3, and a magnetic ring 6 is movably arranged in the magnetic ring slideway 5. One end of the magnetic ring 6 extends outside the magnetic ring slideway 5 and is connected to a magnetic ring fixing frame 7. The magnetic ring fixing frame 7 is connected to a rotating shaft 8, and the rotating shaft 8 passes through the central hole of the main fixing frame 1 and is connected to the output shaft of the motor 2.

[0025] Two connecting columns 9 are provided on one side of the main fixing frame 1. Nuts are reserved inside the connecting columns 9. The motor 2 is provided with ear plates 10 corresponding to the positions of the two connecting columns 9, and bolts pass through the ear plates 10 and are fixedly connected to the nuts.

[0026] The coil skeleton 3, the magnetic ring slideway 5, and the magnetic ring 6 are all arranged in an arc shape centered on the rotating shaft 8, so as to facilitate the rotation of the magnetic ring 6 around the rotating shaft 8 in the magnetic ring slideway 5.

[0027] The main fixing frame 1 and the coil skeleton 3 are fixedly connected by inserting positioning columns, which is convenient for connection and disassembly.

[0028] Square positioning columns 11 and circular positioning columns 12 are respectively provided at the bottom of both ends of the coil skeleton 3. Square positioning holes 13 and circular positioning holes 14 that cooperate with the square positioning columns 11 and the circular positioning columns 12 are provided on the main fixing frame 1. The cooperation of the square positioning columns 11 and the circular positioning columns 12 can enhance the connection effect.

[0029] The skeleton cover plate 4 is fixed and limited by buckles 15 provided on the top of the coil skeleton 3, which can prevent the position of the skeleton cover plate 4 from shifting.

[0030] A number of separating ribs 16 are provided at intervals on the outer surface of the coil skeleton 3, and a number of wire passing grooves 17 are provided at intervals between the main fixing frame 1 and the coil skeleton 3 to facilitate the winding of the coil outside the coil skeleton 3 and the skeleton cover plate 4.

[0031] The magnetic ring fixing bracket 7 is provided with a jack that matches the shape of the magnetic ring 6, and the magnetic ring 6 and the magnetic ring fixing bracket 7 are fixedly bonded by glue.

[0032] The main fixing bracket 1 is provided with a contact switch seat 18, and a contact switch 19 is installed in the contact switch seat 18. The contact switch 19 is matched with the position of the magnetic ring fixing bracket 7. When the rotating shaft 8 drives the magnetic ring fixing bracket 7 to rotate to the position of the contact switch 19, at this time, the magnetic ring 6 completely disengages from the magnetic ring slideway 5, completing the maximum adjustment range. At this time, the contact switch 19 sends a signal to control the motor 2 to stop working.

[0033] The main fixing bracket 1, the coil bobbin 3, and the magnetic ring fixing bracket 7 are all integrally injection-molded, with low cost and convenient for processing and manufacturing.

[0034] Working principle:

[0035] During operation, the output shaft of the motor 2 drives the rotating shaft 8 to rotate, the rotating shaft 8 drives the magnetic ring fixing bracket 7 to rotate, and the magnetic ring fixing bracket 7 drives the magnetic ring 6 to rotate along the magnetic ring slideway 5. As the position of the magnetic ring 6 in the magnetic ring slideway 5 changes, the overlapping length of the magnetic ring 6 and the coil also changes, and the formed magnetic field changes accordingly, and the electric field also changes. Thus, an uninterrupted and continuous tuning point value can be formed, making the impedance between the transmitter and the antenna completely matched, so that the antenna will generate the maximum radiation power at any frequency. When the rotating shaft 8 drives the magnetic ring fixing bracket 7 to rotate to the position of the contact switch 19, at this time, the magnetic ring 6 completely disengages from the magnetic ring slideway 5, completing the maximum adjustment range. At this time, the contact switch 19 sends a signal to control the motor 2 to stop working, and the reverse rotation of the motor 2 can drive the magnetic ring 6 to reset to the initial position.
