Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of communication equipment technology, specifically to a Starlink receiver mounting bracket. Background Technology

[0002] Starlink is a low-Earth orbit internet constellation project proposed by SpaceX in 2014. It aims to build a global satellite internet network by deploying tens of thousands of satellites to provide high-speed, low-latency internet services to remote areas and areas that are difficult to cover by traditional networks. Currently, Starlink's third-generation signal receivers mainly adopt a pure flat-panel design.

[0003] In existing technologies, Starlink's signal receiving tablet is fixed to the roof of a car or house using a bracket to receive signals. However, the bracket used to fix the tablet is usually large and difficult to disassemble, making installation and storage inconvenient. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to develop a Starlink receiver mounting bracket to solve the problems of large size and inconvenience in disassembly and assembly of existing Starlink receiver mounting brackets, thereby improving their transportation and assembly efficiency and saving installation space.

[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] A Starlink receiver mounting bracket includes several elongated support units, which are combined to form a rectangular frame. Each pair of adjacent support units is detachably connected via connectors. The inner side of each support unit faces inwards from the rectangular frame and is bent to form a stepped section. The side of the stepped section that supports the Starlink signal receiving plate serves as a stepped support surface, which is lower than the upper surface of the support unit. The lower end of each support unit is connected to a mounting base plate, which has mounting holes.

[0007] The beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: In the above structure, every two support units are detachably connected by connectors to form a rectangular frame. Each support unit can be an identical structure with the same length or a strip structure with only a difference in length. In use, several support units are connected and assembled to form a rectangular frame. The Starlink signal receiving plate is placed on the stepped support surface within the rectangular frame. The stepped support surface provides upward support, and the rectangular frame as a whole limits the lateral movement of the Starlink signal receiving plate. The mounting base is used to install the Starlink receiver mounting bracket on the roof of a vehicle or house. The overall structure is simple, easy to assemble and disassemble, and easy to store, transport, and assemble.

[0008] In one possible implementation, the mounting base plate is integrally connected to the lower end of the stepped portion and located inside the support unit. The mounting hole is positioned below the stepped support surface. This allows the mounting base plate to be located inside the rectangular frame. The positioning bolts passing through the mounting hole do not interfere with the bottom of the Starlink signal receiving plate. At the same time, the Starlink signal receiving plate covers the mounting hole, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing appearance.

[0009] In one possible implementation, the connector includes a horizontal part and a vertical part, which are combined to form an L-shape. The horizontal part has a first oblong hole, and the vertical part has a second oblong hole. The end of the support unit is provided with a screw hole that mates with the first oblong hole or the second oblong hole. The screw hole and the oblong hole are connected by bolts to connect two support units that are combined at right angles.

[0010] Furthermore, at least two first oblong holes are spaced apart on the horizontal part of the connector, and at least two second oblong holes are spaced apart on the vertical part of the connector; at least two screw holes are spaced apart on each end of the bracket unit; during connection, the connector and any bracket unit are connected by bolts to the two oblong holes and the two screw holes to form two positioning points, and the oblong holes allow the position of the connector to be finely adjusted, the connection is stable and has adjustment space.

[0011] Furthermore, the inner and outer sides of the end of the support unit are provided with screw holes, and the connector includes an outer connector for connecting the outer sides of the two support units and an inner connector for connecting the inner sides of the two support units; the double connection inside and outside makes the right-angle structure connection more stable and the resulting rectangular frame more stable.

[0012] In one possible implementation, the Starlink receiver mounting bracket further includes a limiting member disposed on the support unit. The limiting member includes a limiting connection portion detachably connected to the support unit and an extension baffle extending to the upper inner side of the support unit. The extension baffle is at least partially projected onto the stepped support surface. That is, the extension baffle extends to the upper inner side of the rectangular frame and limits the Starlink signal receiving plate located on the stepped support surface from above.

[0013] Furthermore, the limiting connection part is connected to the upper surface of the support unit, and the limiting connection part is connected to the extension baffle through the upper extension part, which extends both upward and inward in the support unit.

[0014] In one possible implementation, the support unit is a hollow structure to meet its lightweight requirements; preferably, the support unit is an integrated structure made of aluminum alloy, which is simple in structure, easy to manufacture, lightweight and rust-proof.

[0015] In one possible implementation, each support unit has a 45-degree connecting bevel at both ends. Two adjacent support units in the rectangular frame are engaged through the connecting bevel to form a right-angle structure. One support unit engages with the connecting bevel of another support unit through the connecting bevel at both ends, ensuring compatibility between the two units. Attached Figure Description
