Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of communication equipment technology, specifically, it relates to a high-precision universal adjustment bracket structure for a Starlink laser communication terminal. Background Technology

[0002] Starlink laser communication technology, with its advantages of high speed and wide coverage, is widely used in scenarios such as field exploration, emergency rescue, and communication in remote areas. These scenarios often require terminals to be quickly deployed and maintain stable communication in complex environments. As an important component of Starlink laser communication terminals, the stability, ease of adjustment, and portability of the support bracket directly affect the terminal's working efficiency and communication quality.

[0003] However, during use, it was found that the existing support legs have no locking mechanism after being extended, and rely on bolts for fixation. This is cumbersome to operate and prone to shaking, affecting the alignment accuracy of the terminal. Furthermore, the terminal is connected to the support by bolts, which takes up a lot of space if not disassembled, and disassembly is time-consuming and laborious, resulting in poor portability and difficulty in meeting the needs of rapid deployment and flexible movement.

[0004] In view of this, this utility model is hereby proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the problems of existing support legs lacking a locking mechanism after deployment, relying on bolts for fixation, which is cumbersome, prone to wobbling, and affects terminal alignment accuracy, and the fact that the terminal is bolted to the support, requiring significant space to be disassembled but taking up considerable time and effort, resulting in poor portability and difficulty in meeting the needs of rapid deployment and flexible movement, the basic concept of the technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A high-precision universal adjustment bracket structure for a Starlink laser communication terminal includes a support rod, on which a movable ring and a rotating ring are slidably mounted. The rotating ring is rotatably mounted on the movable ring. A snap-fit ​​structure is provided between the rotating ring and the support rod, and the snap-fit ​​structure locks the rotating ring to the support rod. A rotating joint is rotatably mounted at the end of the support rod. A drive component for adjusting the direction of the mobile terminal is installed in the support rod and the rotating joint. A locking mechanism for quick assembly and disassembly of the terminal is provided at the end of the rotating joint.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the snap-fit ​​structure includes a snap-fit ​​block and a snap-fit ​​groove. The outer wall of the support rod is provided with an axial sliding groove and several annular snap-fit ​​grooves. The snap-fit ​​grooves are equidistantly distributed and communicate with the sliding groove. A snap-fit ​​block is installed on the inner wall of the rotating ring. The snap-fit ​​block can slide along the sliding groove. Rotating the rotating ring can cause the snap-fit ​​block to be snapped into the snap-fit ​​groove to restrict the axial movement of the rotating ring. The rotating ring is sleeved on the outside of the moving ring and rotates in cooperation with the moving ring.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the support rod is circumferentially hinged with three support legs, and the movable ring is connected to the three support legs by a connecting rod. The two ends of the connecting rod are respectively hinged to the movable ring and the support legs, and the ends of the three support legs are provided with connecting holes.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the drive assembly includes a first motor and a second motor. The first motor is installed inside the support rod and its output shaft is connected to the rotary joint. The second motor is installed inside the rotary joint and has a rotating shaft installed therein. A rotating plate is connected to the rotating shaft.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the locking mechanism includes a housing, which is fixed to a rotating plate and has an installation groove. The housing contains a dual-axis lead screw and a guide rod. A knob is connected to the end of the dual-axis lead screw. The guide rod is arranged parallel to the dual-axis lead screw. Two sliding plates are sleeved on the dual-axis lead screw, and the sliding plates simultaneously slide with the guide rod.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the mounting groove of the housing is provided with an interface, the terminal is provided with a connector adapted to the interface, the connector mates with the interface when the terminal is inserted into the mounting groove, and a controller is installed in the housing.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0013] This utility model achieves flexible adjustment and stable locking of the support leg unfolding angle through the cooperation of the moving ring, rotating ring and snap-fit ​​structure. The connecting hole at the end of the support leg can be further fixed to adapt to different scenarios and ensure support stability. At the same time, the locking mechanism at the end of the rotating joint, with the help of a double-axis lead screw and sliding plate, can quickly complete the terminal assembly and disassembly by rotating the knob, improving the efficiency of use.

Detailed Implementation

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are used to illustrate this utility model.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a high-precision universal adjustment bracket structure for a Starlink laser communication terminal includes a support rod 1. A movable ring 3 and a rotating ring 5 are slidably mounted on the support rod 1. The rotating ring 5 is rotatably mounted on the movable ring 3. A snap-fit ​​structure is provided between the rotating ring 5 and the support rod 1, and the snap-fit ​​structure locks the rotating ring 5 to the support rod 1. A rotary joint 9 is rotatably mounted at the end of the support rod 1. A drive component for adjusting the direction of the mobile terminal is installed in the support rod 1 and the rotary joint 9. A locking mechanism for quickly assembling and disassembling the terminal is provided at the end of the rotary joint 9. In this configuration, the support rod 1 serves as the main support structure of the entire bracket. The movable ring 3 and the rotating ring 5 slidably mounted on it cooperate with each other. The rotating ring 5 is rotatably mounted on the movable ring 3 and is locked by the snap-fit ​​structure with the support rod 1, thereby fixing the position of the movable ring 3. The rotary joint 9 at the end of the support rod 1 provides a rotational basis for terminal direction adjustment. With the help of the internal drive component, the terminal can be adjusted in multiple directions. The locking mechanism at the end of the rotary joint 9 is used to quickly complete the assembly and disassembly of the terminal. All components work together to form the core support and adjustment basis of the bracket.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, in a specific embodiment, the snap-fit ​​structure includes a snap-fit ​​block 6 and a snap-fit ​​groove 8. The outer wall of the support rod 1 has an axial sliding groove 7 and several annular snap-fit ​​grooves 8. The snap-fit ​​grooves 8 are equidistantly distributed and communicate with the sliding groove 7. A snap-fit ​​block 6 is installed on the inner wall of the rotating ring 5. The snap-fit ​​block 6 can slide along the sliding groove 7. Rotating the rotating ring 5 allows the snap-fit ​​block 6 to snap into the snap-fit ​​groove 8 to restrict the axial movement of the rotating ring 5. The rotating ring 5 is sleeved on the outside of the moving ring 3 and rotates in cooperation with the moving ring 3. In this configuration, the sliding groove 7 of the snap-fit ​​structure is axially distributed along the support rod 1, providing a sliding guide for the snap-fit ​​block 6 on the inner wall of the rotating ring 5, ensuring that the rotating ring 5 can move up and down with the moving ring 3. When the rotating ring 5 is rotated, the snap-fit ​​block 6 can slide from the sliding groove 7 into the annular snap-fit ​​groove 8 that communicates with it. Because the snap-fit ​​grooves 8 are equidistantly distributed and their width matches the snap-fit ​​block 6, they can restrict the axial movement of the rotating ring 5. Thus, the locking of the support leg is achieved through the rotational cooperation between the rotating ring 5 and the moving ring 3.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, furthermore, the support rod 1 is circumferentially hinged with three support legs 2. A connecting rod 4 connects the moving ring 3 to each of the three support legs 2. The two ends of the connecting rod 4 are hinged to the moving ring 3 and the support legs 2, respectively. Each of the three support legs 2 has a connecting hole 21 at its end. In this configuration, the three support legs 2 are circumferentially hinged to the support rod 1 and linked to the moving ring 3 via the connecting rod 4. The two ends of the connecting rod 4 are hinged to the moving ring 3 and the support legs 2, respectively. When the moving ring 3 slides on the support rod 1, it will cause the support legs 2 to expand or retract around the hinge point via the connecting rod 4. The connecting hole 21 at the end of the support leg 2 can further fix the bracket when needed, improving overall stability.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the drive assembly further includes a first motor 10 and a second motor 11. The first motor 10 is installed inside the support rod 1, and its output shaft is connected to the rotary joint 9. The second motor 11 is installed inside the rotary joint 9, and a rotating shaft 12 is installed in the second motor 11. A rotating plate 13 is connected to the rotating shaft 12. In this configuration, the first motor 10 of the drive assembly is installed inside the support rod 1, and its output shaft is directly connected to the rotary joint 9, which can drive the rotary joint 9 to rotate around the axis of the support rod 1. The second motor 11 inside the rotary joint 9 drives the rotating plate 13 to rotate through the rotating shaft 12. The rotating plate 13 is connected to the housing 14 on which the terminal is installed. The two work together to realize the adjustment of the terminal in different directions.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, the locking mechanism further includes a housing 14, which is fixed to the rotating plate 13 and has a mounting groove 19. The housing 14 contains a dual-axis lead screw 15 and a guide rod 16. A knob 18 is connected to the end of the dual-axis lead screw 15. The guide rod 16 is parallel to the dual-axis lead screw 15, and two sliding plates 17 are fitted onto the dual-axis lead screw 15, with the sliding plates 17 simultaneously slidingly engaging with the guide rod 16. In this configuration, the housing 14 of the locking mechanism is fixed to the rotating plate 13, and the mounting groove 19 is used to place the terminal. The dual-axis lead screw 15 and the guide rod 16 are parallel to each other, and the sliding plates 17 are mounted on both. When the knob 18 at the end is rotated, the dual-axis lead screw 15 rotates, causing the two sliding plates 17 to move towards the center along the guide rod 16, thereby engaging with the terminal connection groove to achieve locking.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, furthermore, the mounting slot 19 of the housing 14 is provided with an interface 20, and the terminal is provided with a connector adapted to the interface 20. When the terminal is inserted into the mounting slot 19, the connector mates with the interface 20. A controller is installed in the housing 14. In this configuration, the interface 20 in the mounting slot 19 of the housing 14 is adapted to the connector on the terminal. When the terminal is inserted into the mounting slot 19, the connector mates with the interface 20, realizing the connection between the two. The controller in the housing is used to receive signals, coordinate and control the operation of the drive components, and ensure the accuracy of terminal adjustment.

[0030] The implementation principle of the high-precision universal adjustment bracket structure of the Starlink laser communication terminal in this embodiment is as follows: In use, the sliding of the moving ring 3 on the support rod 1 drives the connecting rod 4, thereby causing the three support legs 2 to expand or contract around the hinge point with the support rod 1. After adjusting to a suitable support angle, the rotating ring 5 on the moving ring 3 is rotated, causing the locking block 6 on the inner wall of the rotating ring 5 to slide from the slide groove 7 of the support rod 1 into the corresponding annular locking groove 8. The locking groove 8 axially limits the locking block 6, thereby locking the rotating ring 5 and the support rod 1, thus fixing the position of the moving ring 3 and keeping the support legs 2 in a stable support state. If it needs to be installed in a location with poor stability or applied in a scenario where frequent movement is not required, the connecting hole 21 at the end of the support leg 2 can be used to further fix the bracket. When installing the terminal, the terminal is inserted into the housing. Within the mounting slot 19 of 14, the connector on the terminal aligns with the interface 20 within the mounting slot 19. Rotating the knob 18 drives the dual-axis lead screw 15 to rotate. Under the limiting action of the guide rod 16, the two sliding plates 17 move towards each other along the dual-axis lead screw 15 and engage with the terminal's connecting slot, completing the terminal's quick locking. When the terminal's direction needs adjustment, the terminal sends a signal to the controller, which controls the first motor 10 within the support rod 1 to operate. Its output shaft drives the rotating joint 9 to rotate around the axis of the support rod 1. The second motor 11 within the rotating joint 9 drives the rotating shaft 12 to rotate, causing the rotating plate 13 and the housing 14 to swing. Through the cooperation of both, multi-directional adjustment of the terminal is achieved to meet different usage needs. When disassembling the terminal, rotating the knob 18 in the opposite direction causes the sliding plate 17 to disengage from the terminal's connecting slot, allowing the terminal to be removed from the mounting slot 19.
