Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of communication antenna technology, and in particular to a concealed outdoor communication antenna. Background Technology
[0002] Communication antennas are components in wireless equipment used to transmit or receive electromagnetic waves. They transform guided waves propagating on transmission lines into electromagnetic waves propagating in an unbounded medium (usually free space), or vice versa. They play an important role in engineering systems such as radio communication, broadcasting, television, radar, navigation, electronic warfare, remote sensing, and radio astronomy.
[0003] Some communication antennas do not need to be used continuously; they only need to transmit or receive electromagnetic waves when needed. However, if such communication antennas are constantly exposed to the outdoor environment, they are easily damaged by natural factors such as wind, rain, and lightning. Furthermore, some criminals may damage exposed antennas to steal materials or for other purposes. In addition, the antennas generate electromagnetic waves when they are working, which may interfere with other electronic devices. Therefore, this utility model provides a hidden outdoor communication antenna to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a push-and-retract mechanism that enables the antenna body to be smoothly and accurately pushed out and retracted in the concealed box, thus solving the problem that communication antennas are easily damaged if they are constantly exposed to the outdoor environment.
[0005] To address the existing technical problems, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows: A concealed outdoor communication antenna includes a concealed box and an antenna body. The concealed box is designed with a push-and-retract mechanism for automatically pushing or retracting the antenna body into the concealed box. The push-and-retract mechanism includes a mounting base, the top of which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the antenna body to ensure that the antenna body can be stably installed in the concealed box. The outer wall of the mounting base is slidably connected to the inner wall of the concealed box. One end of a rotating rod is fixedly connected to a rotating plate, and one end of the rotating plate is rotatably connected to a push-and-retract plate. One end of the push-and-retract plate is rotatably connected to one side of the mounting base. When the rotating rod rotates, it drives the rotating plate to rotate, which in turn pushes the mounting base to slide along the inner wall of the concealed box, thereby pushing or retracting the antenna body. The outer wall of the rotating rod is fixedly connected to an opening and closing plate, and the top of the opening and closing plate is rotatably connected to an opening and closing block. When the rotating rod rotates, the opening and closing plate rotates accordingly, which in turn drives the opening and closing of the concealed top cover through the opening and closing block.
[0006] Preferably, the drive assembly is used to provide power to rotate the rotating rod. Specifically, the drive assembly includes a motor, one side of which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the concealed box, one end of the motor output shaft is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating rod, and the other end of the rotating rod is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the concealed box. In this way, when the motor starts, it can drive the rotating rod to rotate.
[0007] Preferably, in order to achieve synchronous and opposite rotation of the two rotating rods, the meshing assembly includes a sector gear. The sector gear is fixedly connected to two symmetrical rotating rods on the left and right sides. The two sector gears mesh with each other. Therefore, when one rotating rod rotates, the other rotating rod will also rotate synchronously in the opposite direction through the meshing action of the sector gear.
[0008] Preferably, the support assembly includes a support plate, the bottom end of which is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the concealed box, and the top end of which is rotatably connected to one side of the opening and closing block. In this way, when the opening and closing plate rotates, the opening and closing block can be opened or closed through the support plate, thereby realizing the opening and closing of the concealed top cover.
[0009] Preferably, the snap-fit assembly is used to connect the two hidden top covers. Specifically, the snap-fit assembly includes a snap-fit block and a snap-fit groove. One side of the snap-fit block is fixedly connected to one side of one hidden top cover, and the other side of the hidden top cover has a snap-fit groove. When the two hidden top covers are closed, the outer wall of the snap-fit block will slide into the inner wall of the snap-fit groove, thereby achieving a stable connection between the two hidden top covers.
[0010] Preferably, the ventilation component is used to ensure ventilation and heat dissipation inside the concealed box. Specifically, the ventilation component includes ventilation holes, which are opened on one side of the concealed box and are always located below the mounting base. In this way, when the temperature inside the concealed box rises, heat can be dissipated through the ventilation holes, ensuring the normal operation of the antenna body.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows:
[0012] This utility model, by setting up a push-and-retract mechanism, starts the motor to push out or retract the mounting base and antenna body through the push-and-retract plate. At the same time, the opening and closing block drives the hidden top cover to open or close, so that the antenna body can be pushed out and retracted smoothly and accurately in the hidden box. This avoids damage or malfunction caused by improper operation, reduces some physical damage in the outdoor environment, extends the service life of the antenna, avoids human-caused damage and improves safety, and reduces electromagnetic wave leakage and interference to other equipment.

Detailed Implementation
[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0020] Please see Figure 1-5A concealed outdoor communication antenna includes a concealed housing 1 and an antenna body 2. The concealed housing 1 serves as the carrier and protective shell for the antenna body 2. Its main function is to provide a hidden and safe installation environment, preventing the antenna body 2 from being directly exposed to the external environment and subjected to erosion from wind, sun, rain, and other natural factors, thereby extending the antenna's lifespan. The antenna body 2 is a key component in the wireless communication system, responsible for receiving and transmitting wireless signals. In this concealed outdoor communication antenna, the antenna body 2 is cleverly hidden inside the concealed housing 1, automatically extended and retracted via an extension mechanism. This ensures communication quality while meeting aesthetic and concealment requirements. The concealed housing 1 is internally designed with a push-and-retract mechanism for automatically extending or retracting the antenna body 2 into the concealed housing 1. The push-and-retract mechanism includes a mounting base 3, the top of which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the antenna body 2, ensuring the antenna body 2 can be stably installed inside the concealed housing 1. The outer wall of the mounting base 3 is flush with the concealed housing 1. The inner wall is slidably connected. One end of the rotating rod 4 is fixedly connected to a rotating plate 5. One end of the rotating plate 5 is rotatably connected to a push-retract plate 6. One end of the push-retract plate 6 is rotatably connected to one side of the mounting base 3. The rotating plate 5 and the push-retract plate 6 are the transmission components in the ejection mechanism. They transmit the power of the rotating rod 4 to the mounting base 3 by rotation, thereby pushing the antenna body 2 to slide along the inner wall of the hidden box 1. When the rotating rod 4 rotates, it will drive the rotating plate 5 to rotate, and then push the mounting base 3 to slide along the inner wall of the hidden box 1 through the push-retract plate 6, realizing the ejection or retraction of the antenna body 2. The outer wall of the rotating rod 4 is fixedly connected to an opening and closing plate 7. The top of the opening and closing plate 7 is rotatably connected to an opening and closing block 8. When the rotating rod 4 rotates, the opening and closing plate 7 will rotate accordingly. The opening and closing plate 7 and the opening and closing block 8 are used to control the opening and closing of the hidden top cover 9. When the antenna body 2 needs to be ejected, the opening and closing plate 7 drives the hidden top cover 9 to open through the opening and closing block 8. When the antenna body 2 needs to be retracted, the opening and closing plate 7 will rotate in the opposite direction to close the hidden top cover 9.
[0021] Please see Figure 1-2 The drive assembly provides power to rotate the rotating rod 4. Specifically, the drive assembly includes a motor 10, which is connected to an external power source and is a three-phase asynchronous motor. One side of the motor 10 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the concealed box 1, one end of the output shaft of the motor 10 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating rod 4, and the other end of the rotating rod 4 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the concealed box 1. In this way, when the motor 10 starts, it can drive the rotating rod 4 to rotate. Through the precise control of the motor 10, the antenna body 2 can be automatically extended and retracted, improving the convenience and accuracy of operation.
[0022] Please see Figure 1-3In order to achieve synchronous and opposite rotation of the two rotating rods 4, the meshing assembly includes a sector gear 11. The sector gear 11 is fixedly connected to the two symmetrical rotating rods 4 on the left and right. The two sector gears 11 mesh with each other. Therefore, when one rotating rod 4 rotates, the other rotating rod 4 will also rotate synchronously in the opposite direction through the meshing action of the sector gear 11, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the ejection mechanism.
[0023] Please see Figure 1-3 The support assembly includes a support plate 12. The bottom end of the support plate 12 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the hidden box 1, and the top end of the support plate 12 is rotatably connected to one side of the opening and closing block 8. In this way, when the opening and closing plate 7 rotates, the support plate 12 can ensure that the opening and closing block 8 can be stably opened or closed under the drive of the rotating plate 5, thereby realizing the opening and closing of the hidden top cover 9.
[0024] Please see Figure 4 The snap-fit assembly is used to connect the two hidden top covers 9. Specifically, the snap-fit assembly includes a snap-fit block 13 and a snap-fit groove 14. One side of the snap-fit block 13 is fixedly connected to one side of one hidden top cover 9, and the other side of the hidden top cover 9 has a snap-fit groove 14. When the two hidden top covers 9 are closed, the outer wall of the snap-fit block 13 will slide into the inner wall of the snap-fit groove 14 to ensure that they can be tightly closed together, so that the two hidden top covers 9 can be locked to each other when closed, which improves the stability and reliability of the structure.
[0025] Please see Figure 5 The ventilation component is used to ensure ventilation and heat dissipation inside the concealed box 1. Specifically, the ventilation component includes a ventilation hole 15, which is opened on one side of the concealed box 1 and is always located below the mounting base 3. In this way, when the temperature inside the concealed box 1 rises, heat can be dissipated through the ventilation hole 15 to ensure the normal operation of the antenna body 2.
[0026] In use, the antenna body 2 is stored in the concealed box 1, with the concealed top cover 9 in a closed state, protecting the antenna body 2 from external environmental influences. When communication is required, the motor 10 is started to generate power. The output shaft of the motor 10 drives the rotating rod 4 to rotate. Due to the action of the meshing sector gears 11, the two rotating rods 4 on both sides will rotate synchronously but in opposite directions. When the rotating rod 4 rotates, it will drive the rotating plate 5 to rotate, which in turn pushes the mounting base 3 along the inner wall of the concealed box 1 through the push plate 6. The mounting base 3 is fixedly connected to the antenna body 2, so the antenna body 2 will also move along with it. At the same time, the opening and closing plate 7 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating rod 4 will rotate accordingly, driving the concealed top cover 9 to open through the opening and closing block 8. The opening and closing block 8 drives the support plate 12 to rotate synchronously with its connection position with the inner wall of the concealed box 1 as the center. After the concealed top cover 9 is opened, the antenna body 2 can be smoothly pushed out of the concealed box 1. After the antenna body 2 is fully extended, normal communication can begin. At this time, the ventilation hole 15 remains open to ensure ventilation and heat dissipation inside the hidden box 1. When communication ends and the antenna body 2 needs to be retracted, the motor 10 is started to reverse, generating reverse force. The output shaft of the motor 10 drives the rotating rod 4 to rotate in the opposite direction. Due to the action of the meshing sector gear 11, the rotating rods 4 on both sides will rotate in the opposite direction synchronously. When the rotating rod 4 rotates in the opposite direction, it will drive the rotating plate 5 to rotate in the opposite direction, thereby pulling the mounting base 3 and the antenna body 2 back along the inner wall of the hidden box 1 through the push-and-retract plate 6. At the same time, the opening and closing plate 7 will also rotate in the opposite direction, driving the hidden top cover 9 to close through the opening and closing block 8. The snap-fit block 13 and the snap-fit groove 14 ensure that the hidden top covers 9 on both sides can be tightly closed together, improving the stability and reliability of the structure. After the hidden top cover 9 is closed, the antenna body 2 is completely stored in the hidden box 1, restoring the initial state.
[0027] 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.
