[0023] The following will be combined with the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] See also Figure 1 -5. A film pressing device for a microwave foam antenna cover, comprising: an upper fixed plate 1 and a lower pressing plate 11. The lower surface of the upper fixed plate 1 is fixedly connected to a movable column 3. The outer surface of the movable column 3 is slidably connected to an upper pressing plate 7. The lower surface of the upper pressing plate 7 is fixedly connected to an upper mold 8. The lower surface of the upper mold 8 is fixedly connected to a convex arc plate 10.

[0026] The upper surface of the lower pressure plate 11 is fixedly connected to the lower mold 12, and the upper surface of the lower mold 12 is fixedly connected to the concave arc plate 13. An air guide channel 16 is opened inside the upper pressure plate 7, the upper mold 8, the lower mold 12 and the lower pressure plate 11. One end of the air guide channel 16 is opened on one side of the upper pressure plate 7 and the lower pressure plate 11, and the other end is opened at the highest point of the convex arc plate 10 and the lowest point of the concave arc plate 13.

[0027] The technical solution provided in this embodiment is: first, the air inlet head 15 is connected to the air pressure source, and then the foam antenna cover with the film is placed on the concave arc plate of the lower mold 12, and the switch of the hydraulic rod 4 is started. Driven by the output rod of the hydraulic cylinder 4, the upper mold 8 moves downward, so that the bottom of the foam substrate is pressurized and slightly compressed. When the limiting ring 9 of the upper mold 8 moves to the bottom of the indentation opened by the lower mold 12, the movement is stopped, and then the air pressure source is started. The air pressure will be output through the air guide channel 16, and further uniform force is applied to the surface of the film, making the film fit more evenly and firmly.

[0028] Example 2

[0029] Based on Example 1, in this embodiment: a fixed groove 5 is opened on the outer wall of the movable column 3, a clamping sleeve 21 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the upper pressure plate 7, a pneumatic rod 17 is fixedly connected to the inside of the clamping sleeve 21, the output end of the pneumatic rod 17 is fixedly connected to a clamping block 18, and a movable plate 20 is fixedly connected to both sides of the clamping block 18. The movable plate 20 and the clamping sleeve 21 are connected by a spring 19, and the input end of the pneumatic rod 17 is connected to the branch end of the air guide channel 16.

[0030] The technical solution provided by this embodiment is as follows: after the air pressure is delivered in the air guide channel 16, the air pressure will be delivered to the inside of the pneumatic rod 17 along the branch of the air guide channel 16. The output of the pneumatic rod 17 causes the block 18 to move forward and be stuck in the fixed groove 5 opened on the outside of the movable column 3 to avoid the undesigned movement of the upper fixed plate 1 during pressing. After the pressing is completed, the air pressure source stops the air pressure delivery, and the spring 19 will pull back the movable plate 20 fixed on the outer surface of the block 18, so that the block 18 returns to its original position, and then the hydraulic rod 4 is recovered.

[0031] Furthermore, a fixed groove 5 is provided on the outer wall of the movable column 3, a clamping sleeve 21 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the upper pressure plate 7, a pneumatic rod 17 is fixedly connected to the inside of the clamping sleeve 21, an output end of the pneumatic rod 17 is fixedly connected to a block 18, and movable plates 20 are fixedly connected to both sides of the block 18. The movable plate 20 and the clamping sleeve 21 are connected by a spring 19, and the input end of the pneumatic rod 17 is connected to the branch end of the air guide channel 16.

[0032] Specifically, the limiting mechanism formed above limits the upper pressing plate 7 to a specific position during pressing, thereby preventing accidental loosening during pressing.

[0033] Furthermore, a limiting ring 9 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the upper mold 8 , and a groove corresponding to the limiting ring 9 is formed inside the lower mold 12 .

[0034] Specifically, by providing the limiting ring 9 and the corresponding groove, when the device performs the pressing action, no excessive force is generated on the material, thereby avoiding damage to the material.

[0035] Furthermore, the lower surface of the lower pressing plate 11 is fixedly connected to the lower fixing plate 2 , and the lower fixing plate 2 is fixed to the upper fixing plate 1 via a movable column 3 .

[0036] Specifically, by fixing the movable column 3, the upper pressing plate 7 and the lower pressing plate 11 are placed in parallel positions, so that the equipment can move more smoothly when operating.

[0037] Furthermore, a hydraulic rod 4 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the upper fixed plate 1, and a through hole corresponding to the output rod of the hydraulic rod 4 is opened inside the upper fixed plate 1. The output end of the hydraulic rod 4 is fixedly connected to a branch block 6, and the lower surface of the branch block 6 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the upper pressure plate 7.

[0038] Specifically, the hydraulic rod 4 provides sufficient power for the equipment during operation, making the pressing of the equipment more thorough.

[0039] Furthermore, an air guide channel 16 is opened on one side of the upper pressing plate 7 and the lower pressing plate 11 and is fixedly connected to an air guide pipe 14 , and one end of the air guide pipe 14 is fixedly connected to an air inlet head 15 .

[0040] Specifically, by providing the air guide tube 14 , the air pressure output by the upper pressing plate 7 and the lower pressing plate 11 are made the same, so that the film is more thoroughly adhered to the surface of the microwave foam antenna cover.

[0041] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
