It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and not to limit the present application.

[0045] In addition, the terms "first", "second" are only for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the technical features indicated. Therefore, the features defined with "first", "second" can explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present application, the meaning of "multiple" is two or more, unless otherwise specifically limited.
[0046] The antenna support is mainly used for installing and supporting the antenna. The antenna support often has the function of adjusting the angle of the antenna. By adjusting the angle of the antenna, the direction of the antenna can be adjusted, so that it can better receive signals. The current antenna support is usually provided with a separate antenna angle adjusting structure for adjusting the angle of the antenna. Meanwhile, a locking structure is also provided to lock the antenna after the angle is adjusted to prevent the angle from changing. Thus, the current antenna support has a relatively complex structure, a large weight and volume, and a relatively high manufacturing cost.
[0047] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The antenna support provided by the embodiment of the present application will be described. The antenna support comprises:
[0048] a support body 1, the support body 1 is provided with an antenna mounting position;
[0049] a support structure 2, the support structure 2 is hingedly connected with the support body 1;
[0050] a first fixed leg 31, the first fixed leg 31 is connected to the support body 1;
[0051] a second fixed leg 32, the second fixed leg 32 is connected to the support structure 2, and the relative angle between the support structure 2 and the support body 1 can be adjusted by changing the relative position of the first fixed leg 31 and the second fixed leg 32.
[0052] The support body 1 is the main structure of the antenna support, and the support body 1 is provided with a special antenna mounting position for installing and fixing the antenna 5. The design of the support body 1 needs to consider the weight, size and installation requirements of the antenna 5 to ensure that the antenna 5 can be stably and firmly installed on the support. Different antenna mounting positions can be designed for different antennas 5. For example, a square mounting position matched with a starlink satellite antenna can be provided. The antenna can be fixed on the antenna mounting position by clamping, clamping, screw connection and other ways.
[0053] The support structure 2 is used for supporting the support body 1, and the support structure 2 is hingedly connected with the support body 1. The support structure 2 has a certain height, and the relative angle between the support structure 2 and the support body 1 can be adjusted to adjust the angle of the support body 1, thereby adjusting the angle of the antenna 5 on the support body 1. The support structure 2 can be supported on the side, end or middle of the inclined direction of the support body 1. The structure of the support structure 2 can be a rod or a frame structure.
[0054] The first fixing leg 31 is connected to the frame 1 and can fix the frame 1 on the mounting surface 7, and the second fixing leg 32 is connected to the end of the support structure 2 away from the frame 1 and can fix the frame 1 on the mounting surface 7. In the embodiment, the support structure 2 is hinged to the frame 1, the first fixing leg 31 is connected to the frame 1, and the second fixing leg 32 is connected to the end of the support structure 2 away from the frame 1. Therefore, by changing the relative positions of the first fixing leg 31 and the second fixing leg 32, the relative angle between the support structure 2 and the frame 1 can be adjusted. For example, when the first fixing leg 31 and the second fixing leg 32 are farthest away from each other during installation of the antenna support, the angle between the frame 1 and the support structure 2 is straightened, the antenna 5 on the frame 1 is substantially in a flat state relative to the mounting surface 7 of the antenna support, and the inclination angle of the antenna 5 can be considered as 0°. When the first fixing leg 31 and the second fixing leg 32 are close to each other, the angle between the frame 1 and the support structure 2 is reduced, and the angle of the antenna 5 on the frame 1 relative to the mounting surface 7 of the antenna support is gradually increased, as shown in FIG. 6, the antenna 5 on the frame 1 has an angle of about 25° relative to the mounting surface 7 of the antenna support, and as shown in FIG. 7, the first fixing leg 31 and the second fixing leg 32 continue to approach each other, and the antenna 5 on the frame 1 has an angle of about 45° relative to the mounting surface 7 of the antenna support. As can be seen, the antenna support of the embodiment can adjust the relative angle between the support structure 2 and the frame 1 by adjusting the relative positions of the first fixing leg 31 and the second fixing leg 32, and further adjust the angle of the antenna 5 on the antenna support. Figure 2 Figure 1
[0055] In general, the antenna support of the embodiment combines the angle adjustment function of the support structure 2 of the antenna support and the antenna 5, thereby simplifying the overall structure of the antenna support, reducing the weight and volume of the antenna support, facilitating transportation and carrying, and reducing manufacturing costs to a certain extent.
[0056] Please refer to In some embodiments of the present application, the adjustable connecting piece 4 is connected between the first fixing leg 31 and the frame 1 to adjust the angle between the first fixing leg 31 and the frame 1.
[0057] Figure 1
[0058] The fixing mode of the first fixing leg 31 and the second fixing leg 32 can be adsorption, adhesion, bolt connection and the like, wherein some fixing modes need to ensure that the fixing leg is perpendicular to the mounting surface 7. For example, in the case of adsorption by a suction cup, the adsorption surface of the suction cup needs to be perpendicular to the mounting surface 7 to achieve good fixation. Since the first fixing leg 31 and the second fixing leg 32 are actually rotatable relative to the hinge shaft between the support structure 2 and the frame body 1, after adjusting the relative positions of the first fixing leg 31 and the second fixing leg 32, the relative angle between the two will also change, which may cause the fixing leg to be unable to be perpendicular to the mounting surface 7, which is not conducive to the installation of the aforementioned fixing leg that needs to be perpendicular to the mounting surface 7.
[0059] In the present embodiment, the adjustable connecting piece 4 is connected between the first fixing leg 31 and the frame body 1, so that the angle between the first fixing leg 31 and the frame body 1 is adjustable. After adjusting the angle of the frame body 1 and determining the position of the first fixing leg 31, the angle of the first fixing leg 31 can be adjusted according to the corresponding mounting surface 7 of the first fixing leg 31, so that it is perpendicular to the mounting surface 7, thereby ensuring the stable connection of the first fixing leg 31.
[0060] In addition, when the angle between the first fixing leg 31 and the frame body 1 changes due to adjustment, the relative angle between the first fixing leg 31 and the second fixing leg 32 will naturally change, thereby enabling the antenna support to adapt to more installation positions and further meeting the installation requirements of various scenarios.
[0061] For example, for common planar installation, the angles of all the fixing legs can be adjusted to be parallel, thereby achieving planar installation. The external position of the antenna support is usually a convex arc surface, the first fixing leg 31 can be turned inward, so that the relative angle between the first fixing leg 31 and the second fixing leg 32 is consistent with the convex arc surface, thereby achieving external installation of the antenna support. The aforementioned two cases are common installation positions, and for example, the internal position of the antenna support is usually a concave arc surface, the first fixing leg 31 can be turned outward, so that the relative angle between the first fixing leg 31 and the second fixing leg 32 is consistent with the concave arc surface, thereby achieving internal installation of the antenna support.
[0062] Please refer to Figure 1 , and for the same reason, in some embodiments of the present application, the adjustable connecting piece 4 is connected between the second fixing leg 32 and the support structure 2, so that the angle between the second fixing leg 32 and the support structure 2 is adjustable. After adjusting the angle of the frame body 1 and determining the position of the second fixing leg 32, the angle of the second fixing leg 32 can be adjusted according to the corresponding mounting surface 7 of the second fixing leg 32, so that it is perpendicular to the mounting surface 7, thereby ensuring the stable connection of the second fixing leg 32.
[0063] In actual operation, the positions of the first fixed leg 31 and the second fixed leg 32 are adjusted, which specifically includes the following modes: only the angle of the first fixed leg 31 or the angle of the second fixed leg 32 needs to be adjusted, or the angle of the first fixed leg 31 and the angle of the second fixed leg 32 need to be adjusted at the same time, so that the adjustable connecting piece 4 can be arranged only between the first fixed leg 31 and the frame body 1, or only between the second fixed leg 32 and the support structure 2; or the adjustable connecting piece 4 can be arranged between the first fixed leg 31 and the frame body 1 and between the second fixed leg 32 and the support structure 2, so that the angles of the first fixed leg 31 and the second fixed leg 32 can be adjusted, thereby better achieving the fixation of the first fixed leg 31 and the second fixed leg 32 and adapting to more various installation surfaces 7.
[0064] Please refer to Figure 4 In some embodiments of the present application, the adjustable connecting piece 4 includes a first connecting piece 41 and a second connecting piece 42, the first connecting piece 41 is hinged with the first fixed leg 31 or the second fixed leg 32 through a first rotation shaft 43, the first connecting piece 41 is hinged with the second connecting piece 42 through a second rotation shaft 44, and the second connecting piece 42 can rotate relative to the frame body 1 or the support structure 2 around a first axis 45; in the same adjustable connecting piece 4, the axis of the first rotation shaft 43 is perpendicular to the axis of the second rotation shaft 44, and the axis of the second rotation shaft 44 is perpendicular to the first axis 45.
[0065] The adjustable connecting piece 4 is used to adjust the relative angle between the frame body 1 and the first fixed leg 31 or the relative angle between the support structure 2 and the second fixed leg 32, and in the present embodiment, the adjustable connecting piece 4 includes a first connecting piece 41 and a second connecting piece 42. The first connecting piece 41 is hinged with the first fixed leg 31 or the second fixed leg 32 through a first rotation shaft 43, and it is particularly pointed out here that for the adjustable connecting piece 4 connected between the first fixed leg 31 and the frame body 1, the first connecting piece 41 is hinged with the first fixed leg 31 through the first rotation shaft 43, and for the adjustable connecting piece 4 connected between the second fixed leg 32 and the support structure 2, the first connecting piece 41 is hinged with the second fixed leg 32 through the first rotation shaft 43. Similarly, the second connecting piece 42 can rotate relative to the frame body 1 or the support structure 2 around a first axis 45, which should be understood as that for the adjustable connecting piece 4 connected between the first fixed leg 31 and the frame body 1, the first connecting piece 41 rotates relative to the frame body 1 around the first axis 45; and for the adjustable connecting piece 4 connected between the second fixed leg 32 and the support structure 2, the first connecting piece 41 rotates relative to the support structure 2 around the first axis 45.
[0066] The first connecting member 41 is hingedly connected with the first fixed leg 31 or the second fixed leg 32 through a first rotating shaft 43, which means that the first fixed leg 31 or the second fixed leg 32 can rotate relative to the first connecting member 41 along the axis of the first rotating shaft 43. The first connecting member 41 is hingedly connected with the second connecting member 42 through a second rotating shaft 44, which allows the first connecting member 41 and the first fixed leg 31 or the second fixed leg 32 connected therewith to rotate relative to the second connecting member 42 along the axis of the second rotating shaft 44. The second connecting member 42 can rotate relative to the frame 1 or the support structure 2 along a first axis 45, which means that the first fixed leg 31 connected with the adjustable connecting member 4 can rotate relative to the frame 1 along the first axis 45, and the second fixed leg 32 can rotate relative to the support structure 2 along the first axis 45. In the same adjustable connecting member 4, the axis of the first rotating shaft 43 is perpendicular to the axis of the second rotating shaft 44, and the axis of the second rotating shaft 44 is perpendicular to the first axis 45, which can ensure that the first fixed leg 31 can be adjusted in multiple dimensions relative to the frame 1, and the second fixed leg 32 can be adjusted in multiple dimensions relative to the support structure 2. In particular, the second connecting member 42 can rotate relative to the frame 1 along the first axis 45, so that the antenna 5 mounted on the antenna support of the embodiment can face the mounting surface 7. For example Figure 5 As shown, the antenna support is rotated relative to the frame 1 along the first axis 45 through the first fixed leg 31 and the second fixed leg, so as to realize the installation of the inner mounting surface. At this time, the antenna 5 on the antenna support faces the mounting surface, which can better receive signals from the outside and is more suitable for installation on a vehicle window or a building curtain wall.
[0067] The more degrees of freedom of the fixed leg relative to the frame 1, the more mounting surfaces 7 it can adapt to. The embodiment has multiple degrees of freedom, which can fix the multiple fixed legs of the antenna support on an arc surface or even a free-form surface. In addition, the antenna 5 can be directed to the mounting surface 7 by rotating the fixed leg, so as to be suitable for installation on a vehicle window, a building curtain wall or the like.
[0068] In some embodiments, the adjustable connecting piece 4 comprises a ball joint having opposite first and second connecting ends, at least one of which is provided with a ball head structure, the first connecting end is connected with the first or second fixed leg 31 or 32, and the second connecting end is connected with the frame 1 or the support structure 2. The ball joint can achieve the adjustment of the angle between the fixed leg and the frame 1 by the relative rotation of the ball head structure and the sleeve covering the ball head structure, but the adjustable range and diversity will be reduced compared with the adjustable connecting piece 4 of the previous embodiment. The ball joint can be a single ball joint or a double ball joint, the single ball joint has only one ball head structure, which is arranged on the first and second connecting ends, and the double ball joint has ball head structures on the first and second connecting ends, which has higher adjustment freedom.
[0069] The number of the first and second fixed legs 31 and 32 is set according to the needs, and at least one first fixed leg 31 and one second fixed leg 32 are needed to achieve the adjustment and fixation of the relative angle between the frame 1 and the support structure 2. For example, Figure 1 In the embodiment shown, the first and second fixed legs 31 and 32 are two respectively, and more first and second fixed legs 31 and 32 can be provided for the case of heavy weight.
[0070] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 In some embodiments of the present application, the first fixed leg 31 comprises a suction cup having a suction surface, and the adjustable connecting piece 4 is used to adjust the angle between the suction surface of the first fixed leg 31 and the frame 1.
[0071] In this embodiment, the first fixed leg 31 adopts a suction cup having a suction surface, and its working principle is to form a negative pressure cavity between the suction surface and the surface of the object, so as to fix the first fixed leg 31 on the surface of the object. The suction cup is more convenient than other fixing methods, and it is not easy to damage the mounting surface 7 of the antenna support, and it is very suitable for fixing on smooth surfaces such as cars, ships and glass. The suction cup is connected with the smooth surface through its suction surface, and it needs to be sure that the suction surface is opposite to the mounting surface 7 to realize stable installation. After the relative position of the first and second fixed legs 31 and 32 changes, the angle between the suction surface of the first fixed leg 31 and the frame 1 can be adjusted through the adjustable connecting piece 4 between the first fixed leg 31 and the frame 1, so that the suction surface of the first fixed leg 31 is opposite to the mounting surface 7, and the suction cup of the first fixed leg 31 is stably adsorbed.
[0072] Similarly, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4In some embodiments of the present application, the second fixing leg 32 comprises a suction cup having a suction surface, and the adjustable connecting member 4 is used to adjust the angle between the suction surface of the second fixing leg 32 and the support structure 2. When the relative positions of the first fixing leg 31 and the second fixing leg 32 are changed, the angle between the suction surface of the second fixing leg 32 and the support structure 2 can be adjusted through the adjustable connecting member 4 between the second fixing leg 32 and the support structure, so that the suction surface of the second fixing leg 32 is directed to the mounting surface 7, and the stable suction of the suction cup of the second fixing leg 32 is ensured.
[0073] Referring to Figure 6 In some embodiments of the present application, the support structure 2 comprises a first support 21 and a second support 22, the first support 21 is hinged to one side of the frame 1, and the second support 22 is hinged to the other side of the frame 1 opposite to the first support 21, and the first support 21 and the second support 22 are both provided with the second fixing leg 32 at the end away from the frame 1.
[0074] In order to realize the stable installation of the antenna 5, the frame 1 usually has a certain width, and the support structure 2 in the present embodiment comprises the first support 21 and the second support 22, which are respectively arranged on the two sides of the frame 1 to support the two sides of the frame 1, thereby ensuring the stability of the frame 1. The first support 21 and the second support 22 are both provided with the second fixing leg 32 at the end away from the frame 1, so that the first support 21 and the second support 22 can be fixed respectively, thereby fixing the relative angles of the first support 21 and the frame 1 and the relative angles of the second support 22 and the frame 1. The first support 21 and the second support 22 are usually in the form of a rod or a plate, and a more complex support structure can also be used.
[0075] In addition to arranging the first support 21 and the second support 22 on the two sides of the frame 1 respectively, a support and a corresponding second fixing leg 32 can also be arranged at the end of the frame 1 to support the inclination angle of the frame 1, and the angle of the antenna 5 can also be adjusted by moving the second fixing leg 32 of the support. In addition, if the weight of the antenna support is large, more supports can also be arranged, but attention should be paid to the cooperation between the supports.
[0076] Referring to Figure 6 In some embodiments of the present application, the support structure 2 further comprises an intermediate connecting member 23 connected between the first support 21 and the second support 22, and the first support 21, the second support 22 and the intermediate connecting member 23 enclose an accommodating space, and the frame 1 can be adjusted to a first state and a second state relative to the support structure 2; in the first state, the frame 1 is placed in the accommodating space in parallel; in the second state, the frame 1 is inclined relative to the support structure 2.
[0077] In the embodiment, the intermediate connecting piece 23 is connected between the first support piece 21 and the second support piece 22, so that the first support piece 21 and the second support piece 22 form an integral structure, which can not only improve the structural strength and stability of the support structure 2, but also can synchronously adjust the first support piece 21 and the second support piece 22, so that the angle adjustment of the antenna 5 is more convenient.
[0078] The first support piece 21 and the second support piece 22 are respectively located on both sides of the frame body 1, and the intermediate connecting piece 23 is connected between the first support piece 21 and the second support piece 22, so that the first support piece 21, the second support piece 22 and the intermediate connecting piece 23 can form a U-shaped structure, so that the first support piece 21, the second support piece 22 and the intermediate connecting piece 23 enclose a containing space.
[0079] In the embodiment, the frame body 1 can be adjusted to a first state and a second state relative to the support structure 2. As shown in Figure 6 In the first state, the frame body 1 is placed in parallel in the containing space, that is, the first support piece 21, the second support piece 22 and the intermediate connecting piece 23 of the containing space are in a parallel state and are located in the containing space. At this time, the angle of the frame body 1 relative to the support structure 2 is 0°, and the angle between the frame body 1 and the mounting surface 7 of the antenna support is also approximately 0°. In the second state, the frame body 1 is inclined relative to the support structure 2, and there is a certain included angle between them. The included angle can be an acute angle, a right angle or an obtuse angle. Under the support of the support structure 2, the frame body 1 can form a certain angle relative to the mounting surface 7 of the antenna support. The specific angle is determined by the included angle between the support structure 2 and the frame body 1 and the length of the support structure 2 itself. Taking the antenna support shown in Figure 1 As an example, the support structure 2 can be rotated relative to the frame body 1 within 166°, so that the frame body 1 can be adjusted relative to the mounting surface 7 of the antenna support within 0° to close to 90°. Generally, when the antenna support is not used, the frame body 1 can be placed in the first state. At this time, the antenna support not only has a small size, but also the support structure 2 can protect the frame body 1 to a certain extent, which is convenient for the storage and transportation of the antenna support. When the antenna support is used, according to the required receiving angle of the antenna 5, the frame body 1 can be adjusted to the second state relative to the support structure 2. The specific inclination angle of the frame body 1 is adjusted according to the demand of receiving signals.
[0080] In the embodiment, the support structure 2 includes the first support piece 21, the second support piece 22 and the intermediate connecting piece 23. The three can be processed into an integral U-shaped frame body, for example, a long condition is bent to form a U-shaped frame body, which has a simpler structure and can reduce the processing cost. The three can also be separately processed and then connected together by welding, bolt connection or the like to form an integral support structure 2.
[0081] Referring to Figure 6 In some embodiments of the present application, the antenna support includes a locking member 6 configured to lock the relative positions of the frame body 1 and the support structure 2 in the first state.
[0082] As mentioned above, when the antenna support is not in use, the frame body 1 and the support structure 2 can be placed in the first state for the convenience of storage and transportation of the antenna support. In order to prevent the frame body 1 and the support structure 2 from shaking in the first state, the antenna support of the present embodiment is provided with a locking member 6 which can lock the relative positions of the frame body 1 and the support structure 2 in the first state, thereby preventing the antenna support from shaking in the first state. In addition to the storage and transportation of the antenna support, the position of the antenna support adjusted to the first state during use can also be locked by the locking member 6.
[0083] Referring to Figure 8 and Figure 9 In some embodiments of the present application, the locking member 6 includes an inner recess structure 64 and a flexible protrusion 63, one of which is arranged on the frame body 1 and the other on the support structure 2; in the first state, the flexible protrusion 63 is embedded in the inner recess structure 64. The frame body 1 and the support structure 2 are respectively provided with the inner recess structure 64 and the flexible protrusion 63, during the switching of the antenna support from the second state to the first state, the flexible protrusion 63 will be compressed first, and when it is directly opposite the inner recess structure 64, it can be embedded in the inner recess structure 64, thereby preventing the support structure 2 and the frame body 1 from shaking and enhancing stability. When it is necessary to switch the antenna support from the first state to the second state, only the support structure 2 needs to be rotated with force, and the flexible protrusion 63 will be compressed and separated from the inner recess structure 64, thereby releasing the locking between the frame body 1 and the support structure 2.
[0084] The flexible protrusion 6312 can be made of rubber, silicone or other materials, which can be arranged on the frame body 1 or the support structure 2, but if the flexible protrusion 63 is arranged on the frame body 1, the inner recess structure 64 needs to be arranged on the corresponding position of the support structure 2; conversely, if the flexible protrusion 63 is arranged on the support structure 2, the inner recess structure 64 needs to be arranged on the corresponding position of the frame body 1. Among them, because in the first state, the frame body 1 is located in the accommodating space of the support structure 2, therefore, it is better to arrange the inner recess structure 64 on the frame body 1 and the flexible protrusion 63 on the support structure 2, so that the flexible protrusion 6312 can be hidden inside the support structure 2, avoiding damage, and the inner recess structure 64 is also not easy to be damaged when the support structure 2 is turned up.
[0085] As Figure 7As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the locking member 6 comprises a spring latch 61 and a plug-in portion 62, one of which is arranged on the frame 1 and the other is arranged on the support structure 2; in the first state, the spring latch 61 is plugged into the plug-in portion 62.
[0086] The spring latch 61 has a reset spring, and under the action of the spring force, the latch can be extended without external force. When it is necessary to lock the support structure 2 and the frame 1 in the first state, the latch of the spring latch 61 can be pulled out first, and then the relative position of the support structure 2 and the frame 1 is adjusted to make the position of the spring latch 61 and the plug-in portion 62 opposite, and after the spring latch 61 is released, it can be automatically and quickly inserted into the plug-in portion 62, which is more convenient to use. The spring latch 61 also has a self-locking function, when the latch is inserted into the plug-in portion 62, under the action of the reset spring, the latch will press the plug-in portion 62 tightly, so that the latch will not fall off due to external interference, thereby ensuring the safety and reliability of the locking of the frame 1 and the support structure 2. The plug-in portion 62 is used for plugging the spring latch 61, which can be a plug-in hole or a recess structure.
[0087] The spring latch 61 can be arranged on the frame 1 or on the support structure 2. If the spring latch 61 is arranged on the frame 1, the plug-in portion 62 is arranged on the corresponding position of the support structure 2; if the spring latch 61 is arranged on the support structure 2, the plug-in portion 62 is arranged on the corresponding position of the frame 1. Among them, the embodiment of arranging the spring latch 61 on the support structure 2 is better, because the support structure 2 usually has more space to arrange the spring latch 61, and it is also easier to operate when the spring latch 61 is arranged on the support structure 2. Further, the effect of arranging the spring latch 61 on the middle connecting piece 23 is better, which can lock the first support piece 21 and the second support piece 22 at the same time, and ensure the balance of force.
[0088] The two kinds of locking members 6 described in detail above can be used alone or together. For example, only the spring latch 61 can be arranged to cooperate with the plug-in portion 62 to achieve locking; or both the inner recess structure 64 and the flexible protrusion 63 can be arranged to cooperate with the spring latch 61 and the plug-in portion 62 to achieve locking. Relatively speaking, the locking effect of the inner recess structure 64 and the flexible protrusion 63 is poor, but it can achieve quick positioning. Therefore, when the two kinds of second locking members 6 are used together, the spring latch 61 can be pulled open first, and the support structure 2 is rotated, when the support structure 2 is rotated to the first state relative to the frame 1, the flexible protrusion 63 can be automatically embedded in the inner recess structure 64, thereby positioning the relative position of the support structure 2 and the frame 1, at this time, the spring latch 61 is released, so that the spring latch 61 is inserted into the plug-in portion 62, and the locking of the frame 1 and the support structure 2 is quickly achieved.
[0089] As Figure 10As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the frame 1 has an internal space to accommodate the antenna 5 to form an antenna mounting position; the frame 1 includes a main frame 11 and a frame side cover 12, the frame side cover 12 being detachably connected to the main frame 11 so that the antenna mounting position can be opened.
[0090] The frame 1 is provided with an antenna mounting position, the specific shape of which is determined according to the corresponding antenna 5. In this embodiment, the frame 1 has an internal space to accommodate the antenna 5, thus forming the antenna mounting position, which is suitable for most satellite antennas.
[0091] The frame 1 in this embodiment includes a main frame 11 and a side cover 12. The main frame 11 and the side cover 12 are detachably connected. When the side cover 12 is removed, the antenna mounting position can be opened, and then the antenna 5 can be installed inside the frame of the main frame 11. The side cover 12 and the main frame 11 are then connected to complete the installation of the antenna 5. To facilitate the installation of the antenna 5, a slot can be provided inside the frame of the main frame 11. During installation, the antenna 5 can be slid into the main frame 11 through the slot, ensuring the stability of the antenna 5 installation. The power and network cable interfaces of the antenna 5 are located on its back, and the frame 1 will not affect their connection. Since the antenna 5 is located inside the internal space of the frame 1, the frame 1 can provide protection for the antenna 5, preventing damage to the antenna 5.
[0092] The detachable connection between the main frame 11 and the frame side cover 12 can be achieved through various methods such as screw connection, snap-fit, and fastening. Figure 10 In the embodiment shown, the main frame and the frame cover 12 are connected by screws on the side, which can ensure the neat appearance and stability of the frame 1.
[0093] like Figure 11 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the frame 1 and the support structure 2 are detachably connected. As mentioned in previous embodiments, the frame 1 can provide protection for the antenna 5, preventing damage to the antenna 5. In this embodiment, the detachable connection between the frame 1 and the support structure 2 means that the frame 1 can be removed from the support structure 2 and used independently as a protective frame for the antenna 5, protecting the antenna 5 during transport and preventing bumps or damage.
[0094] like Figure 12 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the second fixed leg 32 is detachably connected to the support structure 2, and a connecting part for connecting the second fixed leg 32 is provided on the side of the frame 1 away from the first fixed leg 31. In this way, the second fixed leg 32 can be detached from the support structure 2 and then installed on the side of the frame 1 away from the first fixed leg 31, allowing the frame 1 to function as an antenna support independently. This simple method can also be used for installation without needing to adjust the angle of the antenna 5.
[0095] The above merely provides the preferred embodiments of the present application, and is not used to limit the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement, and improvement made in the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
