Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drone accessories technology, and in particular to an external antenna box. Background Technology

[0002] Currently available antenna boxes do not take into account the combined impact of the antenna box on the aerodynamic layout of the drone during high-speed flight and the waterproofing of the antenna box itself. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide an external antenna box.

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: an external antenna box, including a housing a, which is detachably mounted on a mounting plate. A waterproof platform is provided on the mounting plate, and a boss is provided above the waterproof platform for mounting an existing antenna. An insulating cover is detachably mounted on the waterproof platform. A through groove is opened in the middle of the housing a, and the insulating cover is located in the through groove. Both the insulating cover and the upper surface of the housing a are arc-shaped.

[0005] Preferably, the housing a has mounting holes a at all four ends, and the mounting plate has mounting holes b corresponding to the mounting holes a.

[0006] Preferably, the waterproof platform has several mounting holes c, which are located on the outside of the boss, and the insulating cover has mounting holes d corresponding to the mounting holes c.

[0007] The present invention has the following advantages: The present invention provides waterproofing by setting a waterproof platform between the mounting plate and the boss and placing a waterproof gasket on the waterproof platform; at the same time, the upper surfaces of the insulating cover and the shell a are both arc-shaped. When the drone flies at high speed, the arc-shaped surface can reduce the impact of airflow and can better guide water away from the shell a and the insulating cover in rainy weather.

They are only used for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first," "second," etc., are only used to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0017] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an external antenna box includes a housing a3, which is detachably mounted on a mounting plate 7. A waterproof platform 9 is provided on the mounting plate 7, and a boss 10 is provided above the waterproof platform 9 for mounting an existing antenna 2. An insulating cover 4 is detachably mounted on the waterproof platform 9. A through slot is formed in the middle of the housing a3, and the insulating cover 4 is located within the through slot. Both the insulating cover 4 and the upper surface of the housing a3 are arc-shaped. By providing the waterproof platform 9 between the mounting plate 7 and the boss 10, and placing a waterproof gasket (not shown in the figure) on the waterproof platform 9, waterproofing is ensured. Simultaneously, the arc-shaped upper surfaces of the insulating cover 4 and the housing a3 reduce the impact of airflow when the drone is flying at high speed, and in rainy weather, the arc-shaped surfaces better guide water away from the housing a3 and the insulating cover 4. In this embodiment, antenna lines are etched on a complete copper substrate. The feed line 1 is connected to the existing antenna 2, which is used for signal diffusion. Therefore, in order to avoid the influence of metal on electromagnetic signals, the housing a3 and the insulating cover 4 are made of non-electromagnetic shielding materials such as glass fiber.
