Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of repeater installation technology, specifically relating to a network repeater installation structure for unmanned aerial vehicles. Background Technology

[0002] A communication repeater is a connection device that operates at the physical layer. It is suitable for interconnecting two identical networks. Its main function is to extend the network transmission distance by retransmitting or forwarding data signals. It is a network device that regenerates and restores signals. It is a physical layer device in the OSI model. Repeaters are used to extend network distance in a local area network (LAN) environment. However, it belongs to network interconnection devices and operates at the OSI physical layer. Repeaters have the function of amplifying and regenerating signals on the line. They are used to extend the length of LAN segments and are only used to connect identical LAN segments.

[0003] In order to improve the stability of the repeater during use, existing repeaters are usually fixed on the table during installation. However, the position of the repeater's connection port is fixed, which means that the direction of the connection port is also fixed after fixing. When it is necessary to change the position and direction of the connection port to facilitate media connection, the repeater needs to be disassembled, and then the direction needs to be reversed and refixed, which is a rather cumbersome process. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a network repeater mounting structure for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to solve at least one of the existing problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A network repeater mounting structure for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), used for mounting network repeaters, characterized in that it includes a mounting plate disposed on the side of the repeater body, wherein...

[0007] Two fixing plates are mounted on the side of the mounting plate. A first rotating column is rotatably mounted between the two fixing plates. A U-shaped first hinge arm is mounted on the first rotating column. A second rotating column is rotatably mounted on one end of the first hinge arm. An extension plate is hinged to the front side of the bottom end of the second hinge arm. A wedge-shaped groove is formed on the front side of the extension plate. A wedge-shaped plate is slidably mounted in the wedge-shaped groove. A support plate is mounted on the front side of the wedge plate. A slot is formed on the front side of the support plate. A locking plate is provided in the slot. The front side of the locking plate is used to mount the repeater body.

[0008] In this design, a first hinge arm, a second hinge arm, a wedge plate, and a locking plate are installed. The locking plate and its slots secure the repeater body to the support plate. Combined with the action of the first rotating column and the second rotating column, the first hinge arm and the second hinge arm are hinged together. The first hinge arm is also hinged to the mounting plate. The wedge groove on the extension plate allows the wedge plate to slide within the groove, enabling the repeater body to move horizontally left or right, or extend upwards or downwards to any position. This allows the repeater body to be moved without disassembling it, and the direction of the connection ports on the repeater body can be changed at will, making operation convenient.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the support plate is provided with a fixing component, which includes two U-shaped fixing frames respectively installed on the left and right sides of the support plate. A fixing rod is slidably installed on the fixing frame. An operating plate is installed at one end of the fixing rod, and the other end of the fixing rod extends through a fixing hole opened on the support plate and into a fixing groove opened on the side of the card plate. A spring is installed on the fixing rod and its two ends are fixedly connected to the fixing frame and the operating plate respectively.

[0010] This solution uses a fixed rod, spring, and bracket to fix and support the fixed rod. The bracket provides support for the fixed rod, and the fixed holes and slots allow for easy movement of the fixed rod to secure the plate. The spring provides elastic support for the fixed rod, preventing one end of the fixed rod from moving out of the slot under non-external force.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the upper and lower sides of the support plate are provided with connecting plates, the front side of the connecting plate is provided with a guide rod, and the front end of the guide rod extends into the guide groove opened on the rear side of the repeater body.

[0012] This solution uses a guide rod and a connecting plate to fix and support the guide rod. Combined with the guide rod extending into the guide groove, it allows the clamping plate to quickly enter the groove even when the groove position is not visible, thus improving the accuracy of the clamping plate position.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the upper surface of the mounting plate is provided with a groove, and two telescopic rods are installed on the inner bottom surface of the groove. The telescopic shaft ends of the two telescopic rods are equipped with the same U-shaped intercepting plate, and the intercepting plate is arranged in conjunction with the second hinge arm.

[0014] In this solution, a telescopic rod and an intercepting plate are installed. The groove accommodates the telescopic rod, and the intercepting plate facilitates the interception and fixation of the retracting second articulated arm. The telescopic rod's extensibility allows one end of the intercepting plate to be retracted into the groove, thereby stably locking and intercepting the second articulated arm.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a first fastening bolt is threadedly installed on the fixed plate, the tail end of the first fastening bolt passes through the fixed plate and is threadedly connected to the first rotating column, and a U-shaped bracket is installed at the top of the second hinge arm, a second fastening bolt is threadedly installed on the bracket, and the tail end of the second fastening bolt passes through the second hinge arm and is threadedly connected to the second rotating column.

[0016] This solution uses a first fastening bolt and a second fastening bolt, with the second fastening bolt being threadedly supported by a bracket. Combined with the threaded installation of the first and second fastening bolts, it facilitates the fixing of the rotation angles of the first and second rotating columns, thereby allowing the repeater body to be extended and fixed to an appropriate position.

[0017] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, locking plates are installed on both the left and right sides of the mounting plate, and bolts are threaded onto the locking plates.

[0018] In this solution, a locking plate and bolts are used to fix two bolts on the left and right sides of the mounting plate, respectively. This makes it easier to fix the mounting plate with bolts later, and thus position the main body of the repeater.

[0019] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the installation structure further includes a cover frame with openings on both the surface and the sides for covering the repeater body. Limiting plates are installed on both the left and right sides of the inner wall of the cover frame, and one end of the limiting plate extends into the limiting groove.

[0020] This solution uses a limiting plate and a cover frame. The cover frame covers and protects the main body of the repeater when it is not in use, preventing the main body of the repeater from being reset by dust. At the same time, it also protects the main body of the repeater. The limiting plate and the limiting groove work together to limit, support and fix the cover frame.

[0021] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a cleaning brush plate is provided inside the cover frame, the brush of the cleaning brush plate abuts against the repeater body, four insertion holes are opened on the front side of the cover frame, and pins are provided in the insertion holes, one end of the pins being fixedly connected to the cleaning brush plate.

[0022] This solution utilizes a cleaning brush plate and a pin. By positioning the cleaning brush plate inside the housing frame, it allows for the cleaning of dust from the repeater body surface when the housing frame is moved upwards and removed. The pin, in conjunction with the socket, not only secures the cleaning brush plate but also facilitates its later disassembly.
