Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of radomes, in particular to a radome with a helical antenna. Background Art
[0002] An antenna element is an important part of an antenna. It is mainly responsible for amplifying signals and controlling the radiation direction of signals, so that the electromagnetic signals received by the antenna are stronger. The basic working principle of an antenna element is based on the principle of electromagnetic induction. When high-frequency current passes through the antenna element, the antenna element converts it into a magnetic field. These magnetic fields will generate electromagnetic waves in the air, thereby transmitting the signals to a distance.
[0003] The antenna element is usually arranged inside the radome and connected to the antenna through a lead wire; however, in the existing radomes, the lead wire is directly arranged inside the radome; after the lead wire is connected to the antenna element, the pulling force of the lead wire on the radome is relatively serious, so damage is likely to occur at the connection position between the two. Content of the Utility Model
[0004] Aiming at the deficiencies existing in the prior art, the utility model provides a radome with a helical antenna, which solves the problem that the lead wire and the antenna element are easily broken in the existing radome.
[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical scheme adopted by the utility model is as follows:
[0006] A radome with a helical antenna includes a foam filling body, and an installation cavity is opened at the top of the foam filling body; an antenna element is arranged inside the installation cavity, and a lead wire is connected to the bottom of the antenna element; the lead wire is distributed in a helical wire groove spirally opened around the foam filling body; a skin is wrapped around the periphery of the foam filling body.
[0007] In this scheme, the lead wire is arranged in the helical wire groove, and the helical wire groove plays a fixing role for it, which can avoid the connection position between the lead wire and the antenna element being easily broken when the lead wire is directly placed down, and improves the service life of the lead wire and the antenna element.
[0008] Further, a limiting plate is fixed at the bottom of the antenna element, and a limiting groove is opened inside the limiting plate; one end of the lead wire passes through the limiting groove and is connected to the antenna element.
[0009] In this scheme, the lead wire passes through the limiting groove on the limiting plate. When the lead wire is pulled, the force received by the lead wire acts on the groove wall of the limiting groove, reducing the pulling effect of the lead wire on the antenna element; further ensuring that the lead wire and the antenna element are not easily broken.
[0010] Further, the bottom of the foam filling body is a hollow structure, and the helical wire groove is arranged around the hollow structure.
[0011] In this solution, the bottom of the filling body is designed with a hollow structure, the overall weight of the radome is light, the material used for the foam filling body is less, and the cost is low.
[0012] Furthermore, an installation base is provided at the bottom of the foam filling body, and the installation base is provided with rivet holes.
[0013] Furthermore, a skin lining is provided on the inner wall of the hollow structure.
[0014] In this solution, the skin lining is designed inside the foam filling body, increasing the sealing of the guiding wire and the antenna element.
[0015] Furthermore, the outer shape of the foam filling body is a frustum structure or a cylindrical structure with a gradually increasing diameter from top to bottom.
[0016] Furthermore, the material of the foam filling body is polymethacrylimide resin.
[0017] In this solution, the polymethacrylimide resin is light in weight and high in hardness. Using it to make the foam filling body can realize the lightweight of the radome, and at the same time ensure that the radome has a certain strength.
[0018] Furthermore, the material of the skin is quartz fiber.
[0019] In this solution, the quartz fiber has good wave transmission performance and has little influence on the propagation of electromagnetic waves.
[0020] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are:
[0021] In the radome provided by the present utility model, a spiral wire groove is provided around the foam filling body; the guiding wire is spirally distributed in the spiral wire groove, and the spiral wire groove supports the guiding wire, which can reduce the acting force between it and the antenna element and avoid breaking at the position where the guiding wire is connected to the antenna element. Moreover, the guiding wire is arranged in the spiral groove, and when the skin is wrapped outside the foam filling body, the guiding wire is directly encapsulated, with a simple structure and easy to implement.
[0022] The radome provided by the present utility model uses polymethacrylimide resin as the preparation material for the foam filling body and quartz fiber as the preparation material for the skin; it has the characteristics of light weight and good wave transmission performance. The radome has an advanced and scientific structural design, can meet the high wave transmission index required by the antenna, and can also meet the environmental requirements in terms of strength.
