Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0043] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, the antenna radome flipping assembly device proposed in this embodiment includes a frame 1, a flipping bearing component 2, a flipping plate component 3, and an anti-rotation mechanism 4;
[0044] The tilting bearing component 2 consists of two sets, which include:
[0045] Bearing 2a is fixedly mounted on the top of the machine frame 1;
[0046] A stainless steel rotating shaft 2b is fixedly sleeved inside the inner ring of the corresponding bearing 2a;

[0049] A custom aluminum alloy plate 3a is fixedly installed between two flip plate fixing blocks 2c. The top front side and top rear side of the custom aluminum alloy plate 3a are both fixedly connected with multiple screw guides arranged according to the installation position of the outer cover screws.
[0050] Anti-rotation base 3b, which consists of four sets fixedly connected in a rectangular shape to the top of the custom aluminum alloy plate 3a;
[0051] The antenna array positioning and anti-foolproof structure 3c is fixedly connected to the top of the customized aluminum alloy plate 3a. The antenna array positioning and anti-foolproof structure 3c includes positioning pins 301 and support columns 3011 designed according to the positioning holes and support positions of the antenna array. There are two positioning pins 301 arranged diagonally. The positioning pins 301 are fixedly connected to the top of the customized aluminum alloy plate 3a. There are multiple support columns 3011, which are fixedly connected to the top of the customized aluminum alloy plate 3a. The positioning pins 301 and support columns 3011 are used to prevent the external antenna array from being positioned incorrectly.
[0052] The outer cover auxiliary positioning structure 3d consists of six sets that are fixedly connected to the top of the custom aluminum alloy plate 3a in a rectangular shape;
[0053] The outer cover clamping structure 3e consists of two sets fixedly connected to the top of the customized aluminum alloy plate 3a.

Locking devices 3022 are threaded onto the internal threads of the locking bushings 3021. Pressure rings 3023 are fixedly fitted onto the locking devices 3022. The bottom of the pressure ring 3023 is in movable contact with the top of the corresponding crossbar 302. 02 is movably fitted onto two locking devices 3022, wherein the locking device 3022 is a T-bolt, and the inner side of the locking device bushing 3021 has an internal thread that screws into the outer thread of the locking device 3022. The top of the crossbar 302 has two circular movable through holes that are respectively movably fitted onto the outer side of the corresponding locking device 3022. The two crossbars 302 are used to press the outer cover after the outer antenna array and the outer cover are placed in sequence, so as to limit the relative position of the antenna array and the outer cover.
[0054] The anti-rotation mechanism 4 includes:
[0055] The cylinder mounting plate 4c consists of two sets and is fixedly connected to the top left side of the machine frame 1;
[0056] The manual air valve 4d is fixedly installed on the top of the whole frame 1. Two air pipes 4e are connected and fixed on the manual air valve 4d. A quick-connect fitting for the air pipe is connected and fixed on the rear side of the manual air valve 4d. A valve is connected to the rear side of the quick-connect fitting through a pipe. An air supply pipe is connected and fixed on the rear end of the valve.
[0057] Cylinder 4a consists of two sets, each fixed on a corresponding cylinder mounting plate 4c. Two air pipes 4e are connected and fixed to the corresponding interfaces of the two cylinders 4a.
[0058] The anti-rotation pins 4b are in two sets and are fixedly connected to the protruding ends of the corresponding cylinders 4a, and are adapted to the corresponding left anti-rotation bases 3b. The adaptation method is that a round locking hole is opened on one side of the anti-rotation base 3b, and the round locking holes on the two left anti-rotation bases 3b are adapted to the corresponding anti-rotation pins 4b.
[0059] Specifically, the frame 1 is used to construct the skeleton of the entire device. It is formed by aluminum alloy profiles and hardware parts. The four corners of the lower part of the frame 1 are fixedly connected with threaded height adjustment feet. The top two sides of the frame 1 are fixedly connected with C-shaped aluminum alloy plates. The two C-shaped aluminum alloy plates are symmetrically arranged, and the two bearings 2a are respectively fixedly installed on the top of the corresponding C-shaped aluminum alloy plates.
[0060] Furthermore, the front sides of the two auxiliary positioning structures 3d on the front side are vertically aligned with the front side of the customized aluminum alloy plate 3a, and the rear sides of the two auxiliary positioning structures 3d on the rear side are vertically aligned with the rear side of the customized aluminum alloy plate 3a. The two auxiliary positioning structures 3d in the middle are respectively located between the corresponding front and rear auxiliary positioning structures 3d. The auxiliary positioning structures 3d are blocks with a certain height, and the top height of the auxiliary positioning structures 3d is the same as the top height of the external antenna array. The six auxiliary positioning structures 3d serve to position the outer cover and prevent it from damaging the external antenna array.
[0061] The usage method of this embodiment is as follows: When the flip plate component 3 is facing upward, and the anti-rotation pin 4b of the anti-rotation mechanism 4 is in the anti-rotation state when it is inserted into the anti-rotation base 3b on the left side, the crossbar 302 is in the uninstalled state. The antenna array is manually placed according to the limited position of the antenna array positioning anti-foolproof structure 3c formed by the positioning pin 301 and the support column 3011, and the positioning pin 3011 and the support column 3011 are used to position and prevent the external antenna array from being fooled.
[0062] Following this, the outer cover is manually placed according to the defined position of the outer cover auxiliary positioning structure 3d. Since the top height of the outer cover auxiliary positioning structure 3d is the same as the top height of the external antenna array, the six outer cover auxiliary positioning structures 3d play the role of positioning the outer cover and preventing it from damaging the external antenna array. After the outer cover is placed, the two crossbars 302 are pressed on the top of the outer cover and vertically aligned with the corresponding two locking bushings 3021. The four locking devices 3022 are screwed into the corresponding locking bushings 3021 respectively. When the locking device 3022 is screwed in and moves downward, it drives the corresponding pressure ring 3023 to press and lock the outer cover, thereby limiting the relative position of the antenna array and the outer cover.
[0063] When rotation adjustment is required, the manual air valve 4d is turned, causing the cylinder 4a to retract the corresponding anti-rotation pin 4b. When the anti-rotation pin 4b retracts, it separates from the circular locking hole on the corresponding anti-rotation base 3b, releasing the locking restriction and anti-rotation state. Utilizing the cooperation of the bearing 2a of the flip bearing part 2 and the stainless steel rotating shaft 2b, the custom aluminum alloy plate 3a can be rotated via the flip plate fixing block 2c. This allows personnel to rotate the flip plate component 3. The personnel can directly flip the flip plate component 3 180 degrees, and then turn the manual air valve 4d in the opposite direction, causing the cylinder 4a to extend and engage the anti-rotation pin 4b in the corresponding circular locking hole. Within the locking hole, the anti-rotation base 3b is secured, thereby locking and preventing the custom aluminum alloy plate 3a from rotating, achieving the effect of locking and preventing the rotating of the flip plate component 3. Then, an external electric screwdriver can be used manually to tighten the screws according to the screw guide position on the custom aluminum alloy plate 3a, where the inner diameter of the screw guide is larger than the maximum outer diameter of the screw. Then, the operation of turning the manual air valve 4d is repeated, and the flipping is performed again by 180 degrees and fixed. The locking device 3022 can then be rotated in the opposite direction to release the locking of the crossbar 302. The crossbar 302 can then be removed, and the assembled product can be taken away.
[0064] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
