Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of communication equipment technology, and in particular to a miniaturized communication base station and communication network system. Background Technology

[0002] As a core component of 5G base stations, the Active Antenna Unit (AAU) is widely used in global communication networks. Currently, AAU technology continues to evolve, achieving higher integration and flexibility through the integration of antenna arrays and radio frequency modules. It supports beamforming and massive MIMO technologies, significantly improving spectrum utilization efficiency and communication quality. With its ability to precisely focus signals, the AAU enables base stations to provide users with more stable signal coverage more efficiently. Simultaneously, due to the high integration of the antenna and radio frequency modules, the AAU significantly simplifies the installation and maintenance process of base stations, reducing energy consumption and operation and maintenance costs. For these reasons, the AAU has become the preferred choice for global operators when deploying 5G networks.

[0003] In urban villages, high-rise buildings stand far from base stations, and signal obstruction between buildings can lead to weak or no network signal in certain floors or areas, potentially creating dead zones. Therefore, deploying miniaturized AAU base stations is crucial for network signal coverage in these areas. However, because miniaturized AAU base stations need to be installed on the walls of residential buildings, close to residents' daily activities, they are easily damaged or injured by accidental contact. Furthermore, wall-mounted installations result in poor heat dissipation. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main purpose of this utility model is to propose a miniaturized communication base station and communication network system, which aims to solve the problems of easy accidental contact by residents and poor heat dissipation of miniaturized AAU base stations installed on the walls of residential buildings in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention proposes a miniaturized communication base station, which is installed on a wall. The miniaturized communication base station includes:

[0006] The enclosure has an installation cavity inside. The enclosure is open on the side facing the wall, and an openable door is provided on the side of the enclosure away from the wall. An electrical indicator is formed on the surface of the door away from the installation cavity.

[0007] A connecting component, one end of which is connected to the housing and the other end of which is connected to the wall to fix the housing to the wall;

The connecting arm is connected to and from the wall on the side of the AAU antenna facing the wall. The plurality of locking members are spaced apart on the outside of the housing and connected to the housing. Each locking member is connected to the wall.

[0010] In one embodiment, the connecting arm extends out of the mounting cavity, and each of the locking members extends toward the wall to form a support portion, so that a heat dissipation gap is formed between the housing and the wall.

[0011] In one embodiment, the connecting arm and each of the locking members are connected to an expansion bolt at the end facing the wall, and each expansion bolt is inserted into the wall and abuts against the wall.

[0012] In one embodiment, the connection assembly includes a connecting arm and a connecting frame. The connecting arm is connected to the side of the AAU antenna facing the wall. The connecting frame includes a crossbeam, a mast, and a connector. The crossbeam is connected to the open side of the enclosure. The connecting arm is connected to the mast. The mast is connected to the crossbeam by a clamp. One end of the connector is connected to the mast, and the other end is connected to the wall.

[0013] In one embodiment, the crossbeam includes a crossbar and two connecting rods disposed at both ends of the crossbar. The connecting rods are connected to the outside of the housing and extend toward the wall to form a heat dissipation gap between the housing and the wall.

[0014] In one embodiment, the clamp is a U-shaped clamp, and a snap joint is provided on the crossbeam. The clamp includes a bent end and two open ends. The bent end is fitted over the support rod, and the two open ends pass through the snap joint and are clamped to the crossbeam. There are two crossbeams, which are spaced apart along the extension direction of the support rod. The number of clamps is the same as the number of crossbeams and they are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0015] In one embodiment, the AAU antenna is provided with a hinge seat on the side facing the wall, and the connecting arm is hinged to the hinge seat so that the AAU antenna can rotate relative to the housing.

[0016] In one embodiment, the top of the housing is provided with a top cover, the middle of which protrudes away from the mounting cavity, so that the top cover is inclined from its centerline toward the mounting cavity, and a plurality of ventilation holes are arranged in an array on the top cover.

[0018] The technical solution of this utility model involves placing the AAU antenna inside the enclosure and forming an energized marking on the side of the enclosure door away from the mounting cavity.

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 scope of protection of the present utility model.

Furthermore, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.

[0032] In urban villages, high-rise buildings stand far from base stations, and signal obstruction between buildings can lead to weak or no network signal in certain floors or areas, potentially creating dead zones. Therefore, deploying miniaturized AAU base stations is crucial for network signal coverage in these areas. However, because miniaturized AAU base stations need to be installed on the walls of residential buildings, close to residents' daily activities, they are easily damaged or injured by accidental contact. Furthermore, wall-mounted installations result in poor heat dissipation.

[0033] Please combine Figures 1 to 3 To address the aforementioned issues, this utility model proposes a miniaturized communication base station 100, which is installed on a wall 4. The miniaturized communication base station 100 includes a housing 1, a connecting component 2, and an AAU antenna 3. An installation cavity 11 is formed inside the housing 1. The side of the housing 1 facing the wall 4 is open, and an openable door 12 is provided on the side of the housing 1 away from the wall 4. An electrical indicator 13 is formed on the surface of the side of the door 12 away from the installation cavity 11. One end of the connecting component 2 is connected to the housing 1, and the other end is connected to the wall 4 to fix the housing 1 to the wall 4. The AAU antenna 3 is installed inside the installation cavity 11.

[0034] The technical solution of this utility model involves placing the AAU antenna 3 inside the housing 1 and forming an energized marking 13 on the side of the housing 12 facing away from the mounting cavity 11. This serves to alert residents outside the miniaturized communication base station 100, preventing accidental contact and avoiding damage to the miniaturized communication base station 100 or injury to residents. At the same time, the housing 1 is set open on the side facing the wall 4, increasing the heat dissipation area and improving airflow, thereby enhancing the heat dissipation capacity of the miniaturized communication base station 100 and ensuring that the AAU antenna 3 can operate at the optimal temperature.

[0035] In one embodiment, the connecting assembly 2 includes a connecting arm 21 and a plurality of locking members 22. The connecting arm 21 is connected to and attached to the wall 4 on the side of the AAU antenna 3 facing the wall 4. The plurality of locking members 22 are spaced apart on the outside of the housing 1 and connected to the housing 1. Each locking member 22 is connected to the wall 4. The plurality of locking members 22 are spaced apart on the outside of the housing 1, forming multi-point support with the wall 4, thereby effectively dispersing the gravity and wind force of the housing 1, reducing the swaying of the AAU antenna 3, thereby improving the stability of the overall structure, making the miniaturized communication base station 100 more stable under adverse weather conditions, and less prone to loosening or displacement due to vibration or external forces.

[0036] In one embodiment, the connecting arm 21 extends out of the mounting cavity 11, and each locking member 22 extends toward the wall 4 to form a support portion 23, thereby creating a heat dissipation gap 26 between the housing 1 and the wall 4. The heat dissipation gap 26 between the housing 1 and the wall 4 provides space for air circulation, allowing air to flow freely between the housing 1 and the wall 4, thereby more effectively removing the heat generated by the equipment during operation and preventing overheating from affecting the normal operation and performance of the AAU; at the same time, the heat dissipation gap 26 can also prevent the heat of the housing 1 from being directly transferred to the wall 4, reducing the temperature accumulation on the surface of the wall 4 and preventing damage to the wall 4 of the residential building.

[0037] Please see Figure 4 Furthermore, expansion bolts 24 are connected to the ends of the connecting arm 21 and each locking member 22 facing the wall 4. Each expansion bolt 24 is inserted into the wall 4 and abuts against the wall 4. The expansion bolts 24 can penetrate deep into the wall 4 and are tightly fixed inside the wall 4 through expansion, which improves the stability of the connecting arm 21 and the locking member 22, ensuring that the miniaturized communication base station 100 can be firmly installed on the wall 4 and reducing the risk of loosening caused by external force or vibration.

[0038] Please combine Figure 5 and Figure 6 In another embodiment, the connecting assembly 2 includes a connecting arm 21 and a connecting frame 25. The connecting arm 21 is connected to the side of the AAU antenna 3 facing the wall 4. The connecting frame 25 includes a crossbeam 251, a support rod 252, and a connector 253. The crossbeam 251 is connected to the open side of the housing 1. The connecting arm 21 is connected to the support rod 252. The support rod 252 is connected to the crossbeam 251 by a clamp 254. One end of the connector 253 is connected to the support rod 252, and the other end is connected to the wall 4. The housing 1 is connected to the connector 253 by the cooperation of the crossbeam 251 and the support rod 252. When the wall 4 is uneven or irregularly shaped, making it inconvenient to directly connect the housing 1 to the wall 4, the connecting frame 25 connects the housing 1 to the wall 4, improving the connection stability between the housing 1 and the wall 4.

[0039] In one embodiment, the crossbeam 251 includes a crossbar 255 and two connecting rods 256 disposed at both ends of the crossbar 255. The connecting rods 256 are connected to the outside of the housing 1 and extend toward the wall 4, so that a heat dissipation gap 26 is formed between the housing 1 and the wall 4. The heat dissipation gap 26 between the housing 1 and the wall 4 provides space for air circulation, allowing air to flow freely between the housing 1 and the wall 4, thereby more effectively removing the heat generated by the equipment during operation and preventing overheating from affecting the normal operation and performance of the AAU; at the same time, the heat dissipation gap 26 can also prevent the heat of the housing 1 from being directly transferred to the wall 4, reducing the temperature accumulation on the surface of the wall 4 and preventing damage to the wall 4 of the residential building.

[0040] In one embodiment, the clamp 254 is a U-shaped clamp 254. A locking joint 257 is provided on the crossbeam 251. The clamp 254 includes a bent end and two open ends. The bent end is fitted over the support rod 252, and both open ends pass through the locking joint 257 and are clamped to the crossbeam 251. There are two crossbeams 251, spaced apart along the extension direction of the support rod 252. The number of clamps 254 corresponds to the number of crossbeams 251. The U-shaped clamp 254 design simplifies installation, eliminating the need for complex operations or tools. Simply clamping the support rod 252 and the support structure allows for quick installation and adjustment, saving installation time and labor costs. Simultaneously, the combination of the U-shaped clamp 254 and the support rod 252 effectively absorbs external impacts and vibrations, reduces the impact of resonance on the equipment, enhances the equipment's seismic resistance during long-term operation, and protects internal electronic components.

[0041] In one embodiment, the AAU antenna 3 is provided with a hinge seat 31 on the side facing the wall 4, and the connecting arm 21 is hinged to the hinge seat 31 so that the AAU antenna 3 can rotate relative to the housing 1. The AAU antenna 3 can rotate, so that it can be adjusted to the optimal angle before installation in response to various types of walls 4 and various environments, thereby improving its adaptability to different special environments.

[0042] In one embodiment, a top cover 14 is provided on the top of the housing 1. The center of the top cover 14 protrudes away from the mounting cavity 11, so that the top cover 14 is tilted from its centerline toward the mounting cavity 11, and a plurality of ventilation holes 15 are arranged in an array on the top cover 14. The tilt of the top cover 14 from its centerline toward the mounting cavity 11 can allow debris or rainwater on the top cover 14 to slide away along the tilted surface, avoiding the accumulation of debris or rainwater. At the same time, the ventilation holes 15 can further improve the heat dissipation effect of the AAU antenna 3, ensuring that the AAU antenna 3 can be maintained at a suitable operating temperature.

[0043] This utility model also proposes a communication network system applied to a building complex, which includes multiple buildings arranged at intervals. The communication network system includes the aforementioned miniaturized communication base station 100, with multiple miniaturized communication base stations 100 arranged at intervals on the walls 4 of the multiple buildings. The specific structure of the miniaturized communication base station 100 is as described in the above embodiments. Since this communication network system adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be elaborated here.

[0044] The above are merely optional embodiments of this utility model and do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made under the concept of this utility model using the contents of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
