To effectively detect and track these drones, large vehicle-mounted drone detection radar systems have emerged. These radars are typically installed on highly mobile vehicles for rapid deployment and movement.

[0003] However, the large size of the large drone detection radar, when erected on the roof, results in an excessively high vehicle height, affecting passability, and the high center of gravity also affects driving safety. Utility Model Content

[0007] Furthermore, the buffer frame includes a support body mounted on the fixed base, and a buffer plate mounted on the upper part of the support body. When the radar body is tilted down, the radar body is in contact with the tilted part of the buffer plate.

[0008] Furthermore, the first position sensing component includes a support frame disposed on the fixed base, a first mounting bracket disposed on the support frame, a first position sensor disposed on the first mounting bracket, and a positioning block disposed on the rotating base.

Several embodiments of this utility model are shown in the drawings. However, this utility model can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that the disclosure of this utility model will be more thorough and complete.

[0024] It should be noted that when a component is said to be "fixed to" another component, it can be directly on the other component or there may be an intervening component. When a component is said to be "connected to" another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or there may be an intervening component.

[0025] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0026] like Figures 1-4 As shown in the first embodiment of this utility model, a heavy-duty radar tilting mechanism is provided, including a fixed base 1, a plurality of bearing seats 2 disposed on the fixed base 1, a rotating shaft 3 rotatably connected to the bearing seats 2, a rotating base 4 fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 3, a radar body 5 disposed on the rotating base 4, a plurality of drive units disposed on the fixed base 1 for driving the rotating base 4 to rotate, a buffer frame 8 and a support plate 9 disposed on the left and right sides of the fixed base 1 respectively, a second position sensing component 12 disposed on the buffer frame 8, and a first position sensing component 7 disposed on the right side of the fixed base 1; wherein the buffer frame 8 is used to buffer when the radar body 5 rotates and falls down, the support plate 9 is used to buffer when the radar body 5 rotates and stands up, the second position sensing component 12 is used to determine whether the radar body 5 is in a fallen state, and the first position sensing component 7 is used to determine whether the radar body 5 is in an upright state.

[0027] The fixed base 1 is connected to the reinforced channel steel of the roof equipment installation platform by bolts and embedded nuts. The fixed base 1 is provided with bearing seats 2 on both the front and rear sides. The rotating shaft 3 is provided between the two bearing seats 2. In this embodiment, two sets of drive units are provided on the front and rear sides of the fixed base 1 respectively. In other embodiments, the number of drive units can be appropriately reduced or increased. The upper part of the buffer frame 8 is provided with rubber shock-absorbing pads, and the support plate 9 is also provided with rubber shock-absorbing pads.

[0028] Specifically, when the operator needs to lower the radar body 5 from its upright position, the operator can activate the drive unit, causing the telescopic shaft of the drive unit to retract. The retraction of the telescopic shaft will cause the rotating base 4 to rotate towards the drive unit. The rotation of the rotating base 4 will cause the rotating shaft 3 to rotate on the bearing seat 2, and thus cause the radar body 5 on it to rotate. When the radar body 5 rotates to contact the buffer frame 8, the buffer frame 8 will cushion the radar body 5 to avoid rigid collision, thereby protecting the radar body 5. When the radar body 5 contacts the buffer frame 8, the second position sensing component 12 will sense that the radar body 5 has rotated to the correct position, at which point it will alert the operator, and the drive unit will also stop operating. At this time, the radar body 5 is in the lowered position. This reduces the height and volume of the heavy-duty radar tilting mechanism, making it easier for vehicles to pass on the road and improving driving safety. When it is necessary to stand the radar body 5 upright, the operator can activate the drive unit, which extends the telescopic shaft of the drive unit. The extension of the telescopic shaft of the drive unit will push the rotating base 4 to move away from the drive unit. The movement of the rotating base 4 will cause the radar body 5 to rotate, thereby rotating the radar body 5 into an upright state. When the radar body 5 is rotated into an upright state, the support plate 9 will buffer the rotating base 4 to avoid rigid collision. At the same time, the first position sensing component 7 will sense it and remind the operator. The drive unit will also stop operating. At this time, the radar body 5 is in an upright state.

[0029] The drive unit includes a rotating seat 10 disposed on the fixed base 1, and an electric push cylinder 11 disposed between the rotating seat 10 and the rotating base 4. The fixed end of the electric push cylinder 11 is rotatably connected to the rotating seat 10, and the telescopic end of the electric push cylinder 11 is rotatably connected to the rotating base 4.

[0030] It is understandable that the electric thruster 11 needs to have a thrust of ≥1331.5N / 2=665.75N to ensure the torque required for the radar to rise and fall. Therefore, two electric thrusters 11 with a thrust of 1000N were finally selected. Specifically, when the operator needs the radar body 5 to fall, the operator can control the telescopic shaft of the electric thruster 11 to retract. When the telescopic shaft of the electric thruster 11 retracts, it drives the rotating base 4 to move closer to the electric thruster 11, thereby causing the radar body 5 to fall. When the radar body 5 needs to be erected, the operator controls the telescopic shaft of the electric thruster 11 to extend, thereby causing the radar body 5 to stand up. When the electric thruster 11 is activated, the electric thruster 11 will adaptively rotate on the rotating base 10.

[0031] The buffer frame 8 includes a support body 81 mounted on the fixed base 1 and a buffer plate 82 mounted on the upper part of the support body 81. When the radar body 5 is in a tilted-down state, the radar body 5 is in contact with the tilted part of the buffer plate 82.

[0032] It is understandable that rubber shock-absorbing pads are provided on the buffer plate 82. When the radar body 5 falls down, the radar body 5 comes into contact with the rubber shock-absorbing pads on the buffer plate 82, thereby avoiding rigid collision. In addition, the buffer plate 82 is in a tilted state, so that the buffer plate 82 fits better with the radar body 5 and plays a better role in buffering.

[0033] like Figure 5 As shown, the first position sensing component 7 includes a support frame 71 disposed on the fixed base 1, a first mounting frame 73 disposed on the support frame 71, a first position sensor 75 disposed on the first mounting frame 73, and a positioning block 6 disposed on the rotating base 4. When the first position sensor 75 senses the positioning block 6, the radar body 5 is in an upright state.

[0034] It is understandable that when the rotating base 4 rotates away from the electric push cylinder 11, causing the radar body 5 to stand up, the rotating base 4 will drive the positioning block 6 to rotate. When the positioning block 6 rotates to contact the first position sensor 75, the first position sensor 75 will send a signal to the control panel. The control panel will control the electric push cylinder 11 to stop operating, and the control panel will also light up the indicator light 14 so that the operator knows that the radar body 5 has rotated into position. Rubber shock-absorbing pads are attached to the first position sensor 75 or the positioning block 6 to avoid rigid collision between the two.

[0035] The support frame 71 is provided with a plurality of horizontal first waist holes 72, and the first mounting frame 73 is provided with a plurality of vertical second waist holes 74. The first mounting frame 73 is fixed to the support frame 71 by means of bolts passing through the first waist holes 72 and the second waist holes 74 and cooperating with the nuts.

[0036] It is understandable that the operator can remove the first mounting bracket 73 from the support bracket 71, and then adjust the position of the first position sensor 75 left and right and up and down through the cooperation of the first waist hole 72 and the second waist hole 74, so as to accurately reflect the standing position of the radar body 5.

[0037] like Figure 6 As shown, the second position sensing component 12 includes a plurality of transverse through holes 121 opened on the buffer plate 82, a second mounting bracket 122 provided on the bracket body 81, and a second position sensor 125 provided on the second mounting bracket 122, the second position sensor 125 being located at the through holes 121.

[0038] It is understandable that when the radar body 5 falls down, the radar body 5 will come into contact with the second position sensor 125. The second position sensor 125 will send a signal to the control panel, causing the control panel to control the electric push cylinder 11 to stop operating. The control panel will also control the indicator light 14 to light up, thereby prompting the operator that the radar body 5 has been rotated and stood up in place. The second position sensor 125 is attached with rubber shock-absorbing pads to avoid rigid contact between the two.

[0039] The main body 81 of the bracket is provided with a plurality of horizontal fourth waist holes 124, and the second mounting bracket 122 is provided with a plurality of vertical third waist holes 123. The second mounting bracket 122 is fixedly connected to the main body 81 by bolts passing through the third waist holes 123 and the fourth waist holes 124 and cooperating with nuts.

[0040] It is understandable that the operator can remove the second mounting bracket 122 from the bracket body 81, and then adjust the position of the second position sensor 125 left and right and up and down through the cooperation of the third waist hole 123 and the fourth waist hole 124, so as to accurately reflect the situation of the radar body 5 falling into place.

[0041] The following is a second embodiment of this utility model, which provides a communication device including a communication platform, a heavy radar collapse mechanism as described in Embodiment 1 disposed on the communication platform, and a control unit for controlling the operation of the heavy radar collapse mechanism; as follows Figure 7 As shown, the communication platform is a communication cabin or an emergency communication command vehicle; the control unit is installed on the central control console of the emergency communication command vehicle. The control unit includes a control panel, a rocker switch, several indicator lights 14, and an emergency stop switch 15. The control panel is used to receive input signals, perform logical operations, and then send control output signals. The rocker switch is used to control the raising and lowering of the radar body 5. The radar's position can be observed by looking at the indicator lights 14. The emergency stop switch 15 is used to forcibly cut off the power.

[0042] It is understood that in this embodiment, two indicator lights 14 are provided. In other embodiments, the number can be increased or decreased as appropriate. It is also understood that the operator can extend or retract the telescopic shaft of the electric cylinder 11 by pressing the boat-shaped switch, thereby causing the radar body 5 to stand up or fall down. Specifically, when the operator presses the upper part of the boat-shaped switch, the control panel receives the signal and sends a signal to the electric cylinder 11, causing the telescopic shaft of the electric cylinder 11 to retract, and the radar body 5 to fall down. When the radar body 5 falls down, it contacts the second position sensor 125. The second position sensor 125 sends a signal to the control panel, which then sends a signal to the electric cylinder 11 and one of the indicator lights 14, keeping the electric cylinder 11 stationary and illuminating one of the indicator lights 14. To indicate to the operator that the radar body 5 is in a collapsed state, when the radar body 5 needs to be erected, the operator can press the lower part of the boat-shaped switch 13. At this time, a signal is sent to the control panel, which controls the extension shaft of the electric push cylinder 11 to extend, so that the radar body 5 is erected. During the erection process, the radar body 5 does not contact the second position sensor 125. At this time, the indicator light 14 is turned off. During the erection process, the positioning block 6 contacts the first position sensing component 7. The control panel will control another indicator light 14 to light up to indicate to the operator and control the electric push cylinder 11 to remain stationary. When the emergency stop switch 15 is pressed, a power-off operation will be performed, and the electric push cylinder 11 will stop abruptly during operation. Pressing the boat-shaped switch 13 will also not be able to control the electric push cylinder 11 to start.

[0043] In summary, by activating the drive unit, the rotating base 4 is rotated, which in turn causes the rotating shaft 3 to rotate on the bearing seat 2, and in turn causes the radar body 5 on it to rotate, thus allowing the radar body 5 to be in a tilted or upright state. Under appropriate circumstances, the radar body 5 can be tilted down, thereby reducing the height and volume of the heavy radar tilting mechanism, making it easier for vehicles to pass on the road and improving driving safety. In addition, during the rotation process, the radar body 5 buffer frame 8 and support plate 9 can provide good cushioning for the radar body 5, avoiding rigid collisions that could cause damage. Furthermore, the first position sensing component 7 and the second position sensing component 12 can accurately provide feedback on the radar's position.
