[0032] Such as Figures 1 to 5As shown in the figure, a portable satellite communication device includes an installation housing 1 and an installation bracket 2 for installing a communication satellite antenna. A pitching cylinder 3 is rotatably arranged on the installation housing 1. A pitching driving mechanism is fixedly arranged between the pitching cylinder 3 and the installation housing 1. The axis direction of the pitching cylinder 3 is parallel to the horizontal plane. An azimuth cylinder 4 is also fixedly arranged on the pitching cylinder 3. A connecting cylinder 5 is rotatably arranged at the bottom of the azimuth cylinder 4. An azimuth driving mechanism is fixedly arranged between the connecting cylinder 5 and the azimuth cylinder 4. A T-shaped groove 6 is formed in the installation housing 1. Both the pitching cylinder 3 and the azimuth cylinder 4 are arranged in the T-shaped groove 6. During operation, the pitching cylinder 3 and the azimuth cylinder 4 are pre-installed in the T-shaped groove 6 as a single portable module assembly. The connecting cylinder 5 and the installation bracket 2 are respectively used as a module assembly. Or the connecting cylinder 5, the installation housing 1, the azimuth cylinder 4, and the pitching cylinder 3 can be used as a module assembly. During installation, only by fixedly connecting the upper end of the connecting cylinder 5 to the output shaft of the reducer 10 and the lower end to the installation bracket 2 can the assembly of the entire satellite communication device be completed. The connection between the upper end of the connecting cylinder 5 and the output shaft of the reducer 10 can be a bolt connection. Or the connecting cylinder 5 can be directly pre-installed with the azimuth cylinder 4 to form an integrated component. In this way, when carrying, there are only two components, namely this component and the installation bracket 2. With fewer components, during installation, only by inserting the connecting cylinder 5 into the clamp 12 can all installations be completed. The operation is simple and the learning cost is extremely low. During use, place the bracket on the ground. The azimuth driving mechanism drives the azimuth cylinder 4 to rotate. Since the pitching cylinder 3 is fixedly connected to the azimuth cylinder 4 and the pitching cylinder 3 remains stationary, the pitching driving mechanism drives the installation housing 1 to rotate, thereby enabling the communication satellite antenna inside the installation housing 1 to achieve horizontal direction adjustment and pitching adjustment, realizing the direction adjustment of this satellite communication device to any azimuth in the sky, and enabling the alignment operation with satellites in any azimuth. It is more stable and accurate compared to manual adjustment by humans, and it is a method of adjusting after being fixed on the ground first, without worrying about disconnecting from the satellite when fixing this device. In this embodiment, by pre-installing the pitching cylinder 3 and the azimuth cylinder 4 in the T-shaped groove 6 and pre-installing the connecting cylinder 5 with the azimuth cylinder 4, there are only two components after this device is disassembled, the storage is simple, and there are few components during assembly and the assembly is simple. Only by inserting the connecting cylinder 5 into the clamp 12 and locking it can the installation be completed. During use, rely on the pitching driving mechanism and the azimuth driving mechanism to drive the satellite antenna in the installation housing 1 to search for satellites. It is simple to use and suitable for outdoor use. The satellite antenna's satellite search function can be realized by one-key satellite search through a preset program, reducing the user's operation cost and being simple to use.

[0033] The pitching drive mechanism includes a pitching motor 7 and a swing arm 8. The pitching motor 7 is fixedly arranged in the inner cavity of the pitching rotating cylinder 3. The swing arm 8 is fixedly arranged in the T-shaped groove 6. The output shaft of the pitching motor 7 is fixedly connected to the swing arm 8. During operation, the output shaft of the pitching motor 7 drives the swing arm 8 to rotate, and the swing arm 8 drives the mounting housing 1 to rotate, realizing the pitching adjustment of the mounting housing 1.

[0034] The azimuth drive mechanism includes an azimuth motor 9, a reducer 10 and a mounting flange 11. The mounting flange 11 is fixedly arranged at the bottom of the azimuth rotating cylinder 4.

The connecting rotating cylinder 5 is inserted into the mounting flange 11 and is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the reducer 10. During operation, the rotational movement of the output shaft of the azimuth motor 9 drives the connecting rotating cylinder 5 to rotate after being decelerated by the reducer 10. However, the connecting rotating cylinder 5 is fixedly connected to the mounting bracket 2, so the azimuth rotation rotates relative to the mounting bracket 2, realizing the azimuth adjustment.

[0035] The mounting bracket 2 is a foldable triangular bracket. During operation, the foldable triangular bracket can be further folded to further reduce the occupied space and facilitate carrying.

During operation, the protective cover 13 can protect the output shaft of the pitching motor 7 and prevent rainwater from entering the pitching rotating cylinder 3 in case of rain, thereby damaging the pitching motor 7.

[0038] There are two swing arms 8 and two protective covers 13. The two swing arms 8 are symmetrically arranged on the mounting housing 1. The two protective covers 13 are respectively rotatably connected to both ends of the pitching rotating cylinder 3. A connecting pipe 14 is also rotatably arranged on the protective cover 13 on the side away from the output shaft of the pitching motor 7. The connecting pipe 14 connects the inner cavity of the mounting housing 1 and the inner cavity of the pitching rotating cylinder 3. During operation, the azimuth rotating cylinder 4 is connected to the middle of the pitching rotating cylinder 3, making the support for the pitching rotating cylinder 3 relatively stable.
