Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of beacon technology, specifically a marine satellite beacon with a wide coverage. Background Technology
[0002] A beacon is a technical facility that provides its own direction or position in the form of a specific signal. A beacon can transmit or relay signals used for orientation or tracking. The signals transmitted by a beacon can be electrical, optical, or acoustic.
[0003] When operating in marine areas, beacon units play a particularly important role, serving as crucial auxiliary equipment to ensure the safety of personnel and property. However, due to geographical factors, maintaining stable beacon signals is a key issue in marine operations. Currently, most beacon units use satellite signals, which improves signal quality, but limits their coverage area. Existing beacon units primarily expand their signal coverage outwards from their antenna structure, and as the coverage area expands, the signal received or transmitted by the antenna tends to decrease.
[0004] Therefore, we propose a beacon with a wide coverage area, specifically a satellite signal beacon, primarily for use in marine areas, to address the aforementioned issues. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a marine satellite beacon with a wide coverage area to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0007] A wide-coverage marine satellite beacon includes a bottom shell and an upper shell. The upper shell is mounted on top of the bottom shell. A panel is sandwiched between the upper shell and the bottom shell. The top of the panel has equally spaced snap-fit slots. A protective sleeve is installed in the inner cavity of the snap-fit slots. An antenna rod is inserted into the inner cavity of the protective sleeve. A conductive rod is installed through the bottom of the bottom shell.
[0008] Preferably, the top of the conductive rod passes through the bottom shell and the panel in sequence and extends to the outer side of the top of the panel.
[0009] Preferably, one end of the antenna rod is an arc-shaped surface, and the arc-shaped surface of the antenna rod is attached to the outer surface of the conductive rod.
[0010] Preferably, an antenna is fixedly installed at the top of the conductive rod, the top of the antenna penetrates through the upper shell and extends to the outer side of the top of the upper shell, and a wire is fixedly connected to the bottom of the conductive rod.
[0011] Preferably, a support rod is fitted on the outer ring of the conductive rod, and the conductive rod is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the support rod by bolts and fasteners.
[0012] Preferably, a bearing is fitted on the outer wall of the support rod, and a groove adapted to the bearing is provided at the bottom of the bottom shell, and the side wall of the outer ring of the bearing is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the groove by fasteners.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] 1. This wide-coverage marine satellite beacon uses an antenna and a panel with a circular antenna rod design to cover signals from different directions and angles. Each antenna rod and its inherently covered area overlap, which not only expands the beacon's signal coverage range but also enhances the strength of the beacon's signal coverage, ensuring signal stability and reliability during beacon use.
[0015] 2. This wide-coverage marine satellite beacon uses antenna rods and the signals emitted by each antenna to be transmitted through wires and conductor rods. Similarly, when the beacon receives signals, it receives signals from all directions, and the received signals are converged at the conductor rods. This can enhance or increase the number of times the received signals are displayed, thereby improving the quality and frequency of the beacon's reception and display of signals, thus assisting staff in their work.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] This utility model provides a technical solution for a marine satellite beacon with a wide coverage:
[0024] Example 1:
[0025] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the beacon unit mainly includes the beacon unit's outer shell, which is mainly composed of a bottom shell 1 and an upper shell 3. A panel 2 is sandwiched between the bottom shell 1 and the upper shell 3. Figure 3 As shown, the top of panel 2 has circumferentially spaced snap-fit grooves 6, and a protective sleeve 7 is installed inside the groove 6. Figure 5 As shown, the protective sleeve 7 is a hollow sleeve, and an antenna rod 8 is inserted into the inner cavity of the protective sleeve 7. A protective head 9 is fixedly installed at the end of the antenna rod 8.
[0026] Among them, such as Figure 4 As shown, a support rod 4 is installed through the bottom of the outer shell, and a conductive rod 5 is inserted into the inner cavity of the support rod 4.
[0027] Among them, such as Figure 2 As shown, the top of the conductive rod 5 penetrates the bottom shell 1 and the panel 2 and extends to the outer side of the top of the panel 2.
[0028] Among them, such as Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, one end of the antenna rod 7 penetrates through the protective sleeve 7 and extends to the outside of the protective sleeve 7, and the antenna rod 7 is located in the inner cavity of the outer shell with an arc surface, and the arc surface of the antenna rod 7 is in contact with the outer wall of the conductive rod 5.
[0029] An antenna 11 is fixedly installed at the top of the conductive rod 5, and a wire 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the conductive rod 5.
[0030] In this embodiment, when using the beacon unit of this technical solution, it is directly connected to the structure for installing the beacon unit via the support rod 4 and installed at an appropriate height. During use, the design of the antenna 11 and the antenna rod 7 with a circular path on the panel allows for signal coverage from different directions and angles. The areas covered by each antenna rod 7 and antenna 11 overlap, which not only expands the signal coverage range of the beacon unit but also enhances the signal strength, ensuring the signal stability and reliability of the beacon unit during use. Specifically, the signals emitted by each antenna rod 7 and antenna 11 are transmitted from the wire 12 and the conduction rod 5. Similarly, when the beacon unit receives signals, it receives signals from various directions, and the received signals converge at the position of the conduction rod 5, thereby enhancing or increasing the number of times the received signal is displayed. This improves the quality and frequency of the beacon unit's reception and display of received signals, assisting operators in their work.
[0031] Example 2:
[0032] like Figure 4 As shown, a bearing 10 is installed at the top of the outer wall of the protective sleeve 7, and a groove structure for installing the bearing 10 is provided at the bottom of the bottom shell 1. The side wall of the outer ring of the bearing 10 is fixed to the inner wall of the groove structure by fasteners.
[0033] In this embodiment, based on Embodiment 1, after the beacon is installed at a suitable height, the entire outer shell can rotate freely relative to the protective sleeve 7, that is, it rotates through the bearing 10. In this way, when operating in marine areas, the beacon structure will rotate after being exposed to sea breezes, which can effectively alleviate the impact of sea breezes on the beacon. Secondly, when used in a humid marine environment, a large amount of water droplets will inevitably adhere to the beacon. When the entire outer shell rotates, it can also shake off the water droplets, avoiding the problem of corrosion caused by prolonged residue on the beacon.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.
[0035] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
