[0002] In the film and television production field, image transmitters serve as the core hub for real-time signal interaction, and their performance directly determines creative efficiency and image quality. The core function of an image transmitter is to efficiently, with low latency, and stably transmit image signals captured by shooting equipment (cameras, drones, action cameras, etc.) to the receiving end (monitors, control rooms, post-production workstations, etc.). Existing wireless image transmitters are equipped with antennas to convert guided electromagnetic waves (signals in cables) into spatially radiated electromagnetic waves, enabling the image transmitter to transmit images.

[0003] In existing image transmitter antennas, the main body is typically mounted within a radome for protection. Existing radomes usually consist of a bottom shell and end caps, connected by screws. This mounting method is not only cumbersome but also increases manufacturing costs and reduces the product's market competitiveness.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to improve the antenna mounting method of existing image transmitters to overcome the shortcomings of existing technology. Utility Model Content

[0033] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While preferred embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present invention may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that the present invention will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the present invention to those skilled in the art.

[0034] In existing image transmitter antennas, the main body is typically mounted within a radome for protection. Existing radomes usually consist of a bottom shell and end caps, connected by screws. This mounting method is not only cumbersome but also increases manufacturing costs and reduces the product's market competitiveness.

[0035] Based on this, this application provides an antenna mounting structure.

[0036] Example 1

[0037] like Figures 1-5 As shown, this embodiment provides an antenna mounting structure, which is disposed on the image transmitter body 100, and includes:

[0038] The antenna mounting structure includes a bottom shell 1 and a side cover 2. The bottom shell 1 is rotatably mounted on the image transmitter body 100. The bottom shell 1 is provided with a sliding groove 11, and the side cover 2 is provided with an insertion block 21, which is adapted to the sliding groove 11. Specifically, in practical applications, the angle between the bottom shell 1 and the image transmitter body 100 can be adjusted by a damping rotating shaft. During the adjustment process, the damping force is maintained at 3-5 N·m to ensure that there is no loosening or jamming.

[0039] The bottom shell 1 is also provided with a first snap-fit ​​component, and the side cover 2 is provided with a second snap-fit ​​component. The second snap-fit ​​component is adapted to the first snap-fit ​​component. The side cover 2 and the bottom shell 1 are fixed to each other by the cooperation of the second snap-fit ​​component and the first snap-fit ​​component.

[0040] In practical applications, the first snap-fit ​​component includes a snap-fit ​​groove disposed on the bottom shell 1, and the snap-fit ​​groove is arc-shaped.

[0041] The second snap-fit ​​component includes a snap-fit ​​block 24 disposed at one end of the side cover 2, the snap-fit ​​block 24 being adapted to the snap-fit ​​slot.

[0042] Specifically, during installation, the side cover 2 is placed on the bottom shell 1, allowing the insert block 21 to be inserted into the sliding groove 11. Then, the side cover 2 is pushed, causing it to slide along the length of the sliding groove 11. When the locking block 24 is inserted into the locking slot, the side cover 2 is locked and fixed to the bottom shell 1. Preferably, the locking slot can be T-shaped, allowing it to better define the locking block 24 and lock the side cover 2 in place.

[0043] The aforementioned antenna mounting structure is mounted on the image transmitter body 100. The structure includes a bottom shell 1 and side covers 2. The bottom shell 1 is rotatably mounted on the image transmitter body 100 and has a sliding groove 11. The side covers 2 have insert blocks 21 that fit into the sliding groove 11. The bottom shell 1 also has a first snap-fit ​​component, and the side covers 2 have a second snap-fit ​​component that fits into the first snap-fit ​​component. The side covers 2 and the bottom shell 1 are mutually fixed through the engagement of the second and first snap-fit ​​components. In use, the antenna body can be placed on the bearing surface of the bottom shell 1 and fixed. Then, the insert blocks 21 of the side covers 2 are aligned with the sliding groove 11 of the bottom shell 1 and pushed in along the length of the sliding groove 11 until the second snap-fit ​​component of the side covers 2 aligns with the first snap-fit ​​component and is snapped in place, thus completing the installation of the side covers 2 and the bottom shell 1. This mounting structure eliminates the need for screws, effectively supporting and protecting the antenna body. It is also easy to install and simple to manufacture, improving antenna installation efficiency and thus reducing the manufacturing cost of the image transmitter.

[0044] Specifically, in this embodiment, one end of the side cover 2 is also provided with an integrally formed end cap 22, and one end of the bottom shell 1 is provided with a mounting position, which is adapted to the end cap 22;

[0045] When the side cover 2 is snapped onto the bottom shell 1, the end cap 22 is snapped onto the mounting position.

[0046] Furthermore, the mounting position includes a plurality of interconnected limiting blocks 13, and the limiting blocks 13 are arranged in a stepped manner.

[0047] In one embodiment, the mounting position consists of three stepped limiting blocks 13 (made of PC material, integrally molded). The limiting blocks 13 are arranged along the length of the bottom shell 1 in a stepped distribution. When the side cover 2 locking block 24 is engaged with the bottom shell 1, the end cover 22 is fully embedded in the mounting position, and the wedge-shaped protrusion fits tightly with the stepped groove of the third limiting block 13 to achieve axial limiting.

[0048] The stepped limiting block 13 forms a multi-level locking mechanism, which, together with the original locking block 24 and the locking groove, makes the side cover 2 more stably fixed in the axial direction, ensuring the stability of the entire structure.

[0049] The end cap 22 completely covers the mounting position at the end of the bottom shell 1, forming a "three-sided enclosure" in combination with the original cavity structure, which can improve the protection capability of the integrated mounting structure for the antenna body.

[0050] In this embodiment, a guide block 23 is provided at one end of the side cover 2, and a clearance position 12 is provided on the bottom shell 1. The guide block 23 is adapted to the clearance position 12.

[0051] In actual installation, the guide block 23 is embedded in the clearance position 12 of the bottom shell 1 in the initial stage of the side cover 2's advancement, forming an assembly logic of "guiding first and then positioning", which can prevent the side cover 2 from shifting during assembly. The guide block 23 and the clearance position 12 form a rigid support in the width direction of the side cover 2 (perpendicular to the direction of the slide groove 11), which, together with the axial limiting of the locking block 24 and the locking groove, can improve the installation stability of the side cover 2.

[0052] In this embodiment, two insert blocks 21 are provided on the side cover 2, and the two insert blocks 21 are parallel to each other. The length direction of the insert blocks 21 is arranged along the length direction of the side cover 2.

[0053] The side wall of the side cover 2, the two insert blocks 21, and the end cap 22 form a receiving groove for accommodating the antenna body.

[0054] In the actual installation process, the antenna body is placed in the receiving groove, and then the side cover 2 is slid along the length of the slide groove 11. The side cover 2 is pushed and fixed by the interlocking of the second connector and the first connector, thus installing the antenna in the mounting structure. It should be noted that a connecting contact point can be provided on the bottom shell 1, so that the antenna body can be electrically connected to the circuit board of the image transmitter through the connecting contact point.

[0055] In this embodiment, the image transmitter body 100 is provided with a mounting base 101, and the bottom shell 1 is hinged to the mounting base 101.

[0056] Specifically, the mounting base 101 is made of ABS engineering plastic, which can be the same material as the main body. It is fixed to the top center of the main body with self-tapping screws, forming a "U"-shaped fork structure. The mounting base 101 has two symmetrical shaft holes on its inner side, with brass bushings embedded in the holes to improve wear resistance. The shaft hole axis is more than 10mm above the top surface of the main body to ensure that the base shell 1 does not interfere with the surface of the main body when rotating. A cylindrical hinge shaft is integrally formed at the bottom center of the base shell 1, with two silicone damping pads and one stainless steel friction plate fitted onto the shaft body. After the hinge shaft is inserted into the shaft hole of the mounting base 101, it is axially limited by the shaft end retaining ring, forming a rotatable connection. The hinge structure supports 0-90° angle adjustment, with a stable damping torque of 3-5 N·m (5-8 N of force needs to be applied during adjustment; there is no free rotation after releasing the force), and there is no jamming during rotation. The contact pressure between the damping pads and the inner wall of the mounting base 101 is 20-30 N, generating stable damping through friction. When the base shell 1 rotates, the antenna body adjusts its angle synchronously. The feed line is led out from the arc-shaped cable routing groove reserved in the mounting base 101, avoiding cable tangling. The rotatable structural design improves the coverage of the antenna in various scenarios, meeting the needs of different scenarios.

[0057] Example 2

[0058] like Figures 1-7 As shown, this embodiment provides an image transmitter, including an image transmitter body 100;

[0059] The image transmitter body 100 is provided with the antenna mounting structure described above.

[0060] In this embodiment, a battery mounting groove 102 is provided on the side wall of the image transmitter body 100, and a conductive contact 1021 is provided on one side wall of the mounting groove.

[0061] The image transmitter body 100 is equipped with a circuit board, and the conductive contact 1021 is electrically connected to the circuit board.

[0062] In this image transmitter, when the battery is inserted into the mounting slot, it slides along the guide rail until it contacts the conductive contact 1021, triggering the plastic latch to automatically engage. To remove it, pressing the unlock button at the slot releases the latch, allowing the battery to be smoothly removed under the guide rail's guidance. After installation, the battery's outer surface is flush with the main body's side wall, not affecting the device's overall portability. The drawer-style structure, combined with the guide rail, allows for tool-free battery replacement, enhancing ease of use.

[0063] Even better, the conductive contact 1021 can be connected to the circuit board via a pin, and can be replaced individually if damaged, without having to replace the entire main body casing, thereby reducing maintenance costs.

[0064] Unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement, numerical expressions, and values ​​of the components and steps described in these embodiments do not limit the scope of this application. It should also be understood that, for ease of description, the dimensions of the various parts shown in the drawings are not drawn to actual scale. Techniques, methods, and devices known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such techniques, methods, and devices should be considered part of the specification. In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limitations. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters in the following drawings denote similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it need not be further discussed in subsequent drawings. In the description of this application, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by directional terms such as "front, back, up, down, left, right", "horizontal, vertical, horizontal" and "top, bottom" is usually based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description. Unless otherwise stated, these directional terms 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, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of protection of this application; the directional terms "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours relative to the outline of each component itself.

[0065] For ease of description, spatial relative terms such as "above," "on top of," "on the upper surface of," "above," etc., are used herein to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature as shown in the figures to other devices or features. It should be understood that spatial relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations in use or operation beyond the orientation of the device as described in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures were inverted, a device described as "above" or "on top of" other devices or structures would subsequently be positioned as "below" or "under" other devices or structures. Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below." The device may also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relative descriptions used herein will be interpreted accordingly.

[0066] Furthermore, it should be noted that the use of terms such as "first" and "second" to define components is merely for the purpose of distinguishing the corresponding components. Unless otherwise stated, these terms have no special meaning and therefore should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this application. The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit this utility model. For those skilled in the art, this utility model can have various modifications and variations. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
