Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of antennas, in particular to a radome and an antenna having the radome. Background Art

[0002] The base station antenna is an important component of the mobile communication system. It is a device that can radiate electromagnetic waves to the outside or receive external electromagnetic waves. The base station antenna usually includes a protective cover and an oscillator element located inside the protective cover. The protective cover includes an outer cover and an end cap. To achieve a sealed connection between the two, silicone glass glue is usually used when connecting the two to improve waterproof performance. However, the solution of using silicone glass glue for sealing has many drawbacks. For example, silicone glass glue is in the form of an ointment and usually needs to be left to stand for 24 hours before it can solidify, which makes the curing time long and leads to a long product production cycle. For example, the adhesive force of the glue after curing makes it difficult to remove the end cap, increasing the difficulty of rework and the scrap rate. For another example, the price of silicone glass glue is relatively high, which leads to increased production costs.

[0003] The information disclosed in this background technology section is only intended to increase the understanding of the overall background of the present invention, and should not be regarded as an admission or any form of suggestion that the information constitutes the prior art already known to those skilled in the art.

[0025] The specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but it should be understood that the protection scope of the present invention is not limited by the specific embodiments.

[0026] Unless expressly stated otherwise, throughout the specification and claims, the term "comprise" or variations such as "include" or "comprising", etc., will be understood to include the stated elements or components but not to exclude other elements or other components.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a radome, wherein the housing 10 and cover 20 are sealed together using a deformable tube 30, can avoid the defects caused by using silicone glass glue for sealing. In other words, the use of a deformable tube 30 to achieve a sealed connection between the cover 20 and housing 10 can bring advantages such as shortening the product production cycle, facilitating disassembly, reducing the difficulty of rework and scrap rate, and lowering production costs.

[0028] Specifically, combined Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the radome comprises a housing 10, a cover 20, and a deformable tube 30. The housing 10 is provided with at least one opening 11, through which components, such as a vibrator, can be assembled within the housing 10. The cover 20 is detachably connected to the housing 10 to seal the opening 11. After sealing the opening 11, the cover 20 and the housing 10 form a closed housing space. Once the vibrator and other components are assembled within this space, the radome protects them.

[0029] To ensure a sealed connection between the cover 20 and the housing 10, improving the radome's sealing performance and enhancing its waterproof and dustproof properties, the cover 20 is connected to the housing 10 via a deformable tube 30 to achieve a seal between the two. Specifically, when the housing 10 and the cover 20 are assembled, the deformable tube 30 is placed between the cover 20 and the housing 10. When subjected to force, the deformable tube 30 deforms, filling the gap between the cover 20 and the housing 10, achieving a seal and enhancing the sealing performance, ultimately improving waterproof and dustproof properties.

[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, the deformable tube 30 is a circular tube, that is, its cross section is circular. Of course, in other embodiments, other shapes, such as square, etc., can be adopted, which can be selected according to actual needs.

[0031] In this embodiment, the deformable tube 30 is preferably a heat shrink tubing. Of course, in other embodiments, other deformable tubes 30 may also be selected, such as rubber tubes and the like.

[0032] Combine Figures 2 and 3As shown, to facilitate assembly and fixation of the deformable tube 30, the cover 20 is provided with an assembly groove 21, preferably a U-shaped groove. During implementation, the deformable tube 30 is assembled within the assembly groove 21 of the cover 20. The housing 10 partially extends into the assembly groove 21, squeezing the deformable tube 30. After deforming under force, the deformable tube 30 fills or seals the gap between the housing 10 and the assembly groove 21, thereby achieving a seal.

[0033] In this embodiment, the outer wall of the deformable tube 30 preferably conforms to the wall of the assembly groove 21. In other words, the outer diameter of the deformable tube 30 is adapted to the width of the assembly groove 21 to achieve a better seal. In practice, the deformable tube 30 is assembled within the assembly groove 21 of the cover 20. The cover 10 partially extends into the assembly groove 21, squeezing the deformable tube 30. After deformation, the deformable tube 30 fills or seals the gap between the cover 10 and the assembly groove 21, thereby achieving a seal.

[0034] Of course, in other embodiments, a mounting groove 21 may also be provided on the cover body 10 for mounting the deformable tube 30. In a specific implementation, the deformable tube 30 is mounted in the mounting groove 21 of the cover body 10, and the end cap portion can extend into the mounting groove 21 and squeeze the deformable tube 30. After deformation, the deformable tube 30 can fill or seal the gap between the cover body 10 and the mounting groove 21, thereby achieving a sealing process.

[0035] like Figure 3 As shown, the cover body 20 includes an end wall 20a and a first side wall 20b and a second side wall 20c connected to the end wall 20a. The first side wall 20b and the second side wall 20c are arranged at intervals. Finally, the end wall 20a, the first side wall 20b, and the second side wall 20c form the above-mentioned assembly groove 21, so that the assembly groove 21 can accommodate the deformable tube 30 and the cover body 10.

[0036] In this embodiment, the lengths of the first side wall 20b and the second side wall 20c are different. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in the left-right direction, the length of the first side wall 20b is greater than the length of the second side wall 20c. Due to the different lengths of the first side wall 20b and the second side wall 20c, the first side wall 20b and the second side wall 20c form a staggered structure, which facilitates the assembly of the cover body 20 and the cover body 10. Specifically, the staggered arrangement facilitates the entry of the cover body 10 into the assembly groove 21 of the cover body 20 and also facilitates the assembly of the deformable tube 30 into the assembly groove 21 of the cover body 20. Of course, in other embodiments, the lengths of the first side wall 20b and the second side wall 20c can also be set to be the same, and can be set according to actual needs.

[0037] The present invention also discloses an antenna comprising the aforementioned radome, which improves sealing performance while reducing production cycles, facilitating disassembly, reducing rework difficulty and scrap rates, and lowering production costs.

[0038] The utility model adopts a deformable tube 30 instead of silicone glass glue to seal the cover body 10 and the lid body 20, which improves the sealing performance while also reducing the product production cycle, facilitating disassembly, reducing the difficulty of rework and scrap rate, and reducing production costs.
