Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to antenna technical field especially relates to a directional antenna's bluetooth positioning device. BACKGROUND

[0002] The bluetooth positioning beacon device is often used in indoor positioning navigation scene, and the bluetooth positioning beacon device periodically broadcasts signals containing specific information, and a mobile device measures received signal strength (RSSI), and the RSSI value can be used to estimate the approximate distance between the device and the beacon. The propagation of the bluetooth signal follows the path loss model, and the signal strength attenuates with the increase of the distance, and the bluetooth signal is prone to multi-path effect in the propagation process due to the environment, resulting in the problem of large RSSI signal fluctuation.

[0003] At present, most of the bluetooth positioning beacon devices use omnidirectional antennas, such as inverted F-type antennas, meander-line antennas, and ceramic antennas. Due to the 360-degree uniform radiation characteristics of the omnidirectional antenna, it may receive signals from multiple directions in a multi-path environment, including direct signals and reflected, refracted, and other multi-path signals. This characteristic makes the omnidirectional antenna more susceptible to interference in a complex multi-path environment, because the time and phase of signals arriving at the antenna from different paths may differ, resulting in interference when the signals are superimposed, leading to large RSSI fluctuation and low positioning accuracy.

[0004] To solve the problem of low positioning accuracy of omnidirectional antennas, the basic solution is to use directional antennas. However, the common directional antennas on the market are relatively large in size, so the bluetooth positioning beacon devices using directional antennas are generally large in size, which is not conducive to the miniaturization of the device.

In addition, it should be noted that, for the convenience of description, only the parts related to the present application are shown in the drawings, but not all the contents.

[0024] The present embodiment proposes a Bluetooth positioning device of directional antenna, as shown in Figure 1 and 2 , comprising:

[0025] The bottom cover 1 has an open upper end;

[0026] The microstrip directional antenna 2 is disposed on the bottom layer of the bottom cover 1, and the upper end surface of the microstrip directional antenna 2 is provided with an antenna feed line contact 201 and a reference ground contact 202;

[0027] The control board 3 is stacked above the microstrip directional antenna 2, and the lower end surface of the control board 3 is provided with a first contact spring 301 and a second contact spring 302 matched with the antenna feed line contact 201 and the reference ground contact 202, respectively;

[0028] The power supply unit 4 is stacked above the control board 3;

[0029] The upper cover 5 is detachably mounted on the upper end of the bottom cover 1.

[0030] In the present embodiment, the microstrip directional antenna 2, the control board 3, and the power supply unit 4 are vertically stacked in the bottom cover 1, and the upper cover 5 is used for closing, wherein the microstrip directional antenna 2 is relatively thin, and the control board 3 adjacent to the microstrip directional antenna 2 is coupled with each other through the spring and the contact, so that the volume of the device can be effectively compressed, and the assembly is also facilitated.

[0031] In an optional embodiment, the bottom cover 1 is provided in a circular shape, and correspondingly, the microstrip directional antenna 2 and the control board 3 are also provided in a circular shape according to the shape of the bottom cover 1. The inner side of the bottom cover 1 is provided with a fixing column 101, and the side of the microstrip directional antenna 2 and the control board 3 is respectively provided with a first avoiding slot 203, 303 corresponding to the fixing column 101. The fixing column 101 can be provided as a pair of mirror-symmetrical threaded mounting columns. After the microstrip directional antenna 2 and the control board 3 are embedded into the bottom cover 1 along the fixing column 101 through the first avoiding slots 203, 303, the fixing column 101 can prevent the microstrip directional antenna 2 and the control board 3 from being displaced by rotation, thereby ensuring stable installation.

[0032] Considering that the antenna feed line contact 201 and the reference ground contact 202 need to correspond to the first contact spring 301 and the second contact spring 302, and the fixing column 101 is a pair of mirror-symmetrical columns, there is a risk of misassembly. Further, the inner side of the bottom cover 1 is provided with and only one fool-proof column 102, the side of the microstrip directional antenna 2 is provided with a second avoiding slot 204 corresponding to the fool-proof column 102, and the side of the microstrip directional antenna 2 is provided with a third avoiding slot 304 for avoiding the fool-proof column 102. Specifically, the fool-proof column 102 can be provided as a vertical sheet, and correspondingly, the second avoiding slot 204 and the third avoiding slot 304 should be provided in corresponding sizes according to the projection of the fool-proof column 102 in the horizontal plane, so as to ensure that the contacts and the springs correspond to each other in the vertical direction after installation.

[0033] The above-mentioned power supply unit 4 can be any energy storage unit. In the present embodiment, a replaceable alkaline dry battery is taken as an example. In an example, the power supply unit 4 includes a battery holder 401 and a battery 402 installed in the battery holder 401. The two sides of the battery holder 401 are provided with fixing ears 403 corresponding to the fixing column 101.

On this basis, the bottom of the battery holder 401 is provided with a fixing foot 404, which is limited by the third avoiding slot 304 to prevent the battery holder 401 from rotating, and the bottom surface of the battery holder 401 tightly presses the control board 3, which can ensure that the contacts and the springs are in close contact. In addition, the fixing foot 404 abuts against the upper end surface of the microstrip directional antenna 2 after passing through the third avoiding slot 304, which can also support a certain space to avoid the microstrip directional antenna 2 and the control board 3 being too close to each other, thereby preventing the first contact spring 301 and the second contact spring 302 from being excessively compressed.

[0034] Optionally, the inner bottom edge of the bottom cover 1 is provided with a plurality of evenly distributed height limiting columns 103, which assist the microstrip directional antenna 2 to be placed flat on the bottom of the bottom cover 1.
