Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wall-mounted antenna technology, and in particular to a foldable ultra-thin wall-mounted antenna. Background Technology

[0002] As people's enthusiasm for self-driving travel grows, the quality of signal reception is particularly important for RVs, which serve as mobile living spaces in the wild.

[0003] Most wall-mounted antennas used in RVs are currently fixed, but they are quite thick and take up a lot of external space. Some wall-mounted antennas are made into foldable ones, but this design is more susceptible to damage to the hinges and pivots when exposed to sun, rain, and dust in outdoor environments, thus shortening their lifespan. In addition, RVs often travel on uneven roads and encounter bumpy road conditions more frequently, which can easily cause the rotating structure to loosen, further shortening its lifespan. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention provides a foldable ultra-thin wall-mounted antenna, which can effectively solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

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

[0006] This utility model provides a foldable ultra-thin wall-mounted antenna, including a housing. Two symmetrical side rails are vertically arranged on the front side of the housing. An antenna plate is slidably connected to the side rails. The width of the lower side of the antenna plate is adapted to the width of the side rails, and a quick connector is provided in the middle of the lower end of the antenna plate. A flip cover is rotatably connected to the upper end of the housing. A crank rod is rotatably connected to the flip cover near the connection point with the housing. A quick connector is fixedly installed on the inner side of the flip cover away from the housing. The crank rod is rotatably connected to the middle of the antenna plate.

[0007] Furthermore, a double-sided slide rail is provided at the end of the flip cover away from the box body. The double-sided slide rail is provided on both sides of the flip cover, and a through hole is provided in the middle of the flip cover on the lower side of the double-sided slide rail.

[0008] Furthermore, a turntable is rotatably connected to the upper end of the box, and a signal line is coiled on the upper side of the turntable. The other end of the signal line is fixedly connected to the lower side of the antenna board.

[0009] Furthermore, a torsion spring is rotatably connected to the lower end of the turntable, and the lower end of the torsion spring is fixedly connected to the box body.

[0010] Furthermore, a protective plate is slidably connected to the double-sided slide rail, and blocks are fixedly installed on both sides of the upper end of the protective plate. A parabolic cover is provided on the upper side of the protective plate.

[0011] Furthermore, a rotating ring is rotatably connected to the upper end of the flip cover, and a parabolic cover is rotatably connected to the upper end of the rotating ring. The rotation direction of the flip cover and the rotating ring is perpendicular to the direction of the rotating ring and the parabolic cover.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] 1. This utility model is provided with a box body, an antenna plate and a flip cover. When the flip cover is rotated, it drives the antenna plate to slide along the side slide rail, realizing the folding and unfolding of the antenna plate and quickly changing the use state of the antenna plate.

[0014] 2. This utility model is equipped with a protective plate and a parabolic cover. The protective plate can be inserted into the double-sided sliding rails on both sides of the flip cover according to the usage requirements.

[0021] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] Example 1

[0023] Reference Figure 1-3 This is the first embodiment of the present invention, which provides a foldable ultra-thin wall-mounted antenna, including a housing 1. Two symmetrical side rails 2 are provided on the front side of the housing 1 along the vertical direction. An antenna plate 3 is slidably connected to the side rails 2. The antenna plate 3 slides up and down along the side rails 2 to achieve switching between storage and unfolding. The width of the lower side of the antenna plate 3 is adapted to the width of the side rails 2, and a quick connector 15 is provided in the middle of the lower end of the antenna plate 3. A flip cover 4 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the housing 1. A crank rod 5 is rotatably connected to the flip cover 4 near the connection point with the housing 1, and a quick connector 16 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the flip cover 4 away from the housing 1. When it is necessary to fold up the antenna plate 3, the flip cover 4 is flipped, and the antenna plate 3 is lowered until the quick connector 16 is inserted into the quick connector 15, so that the antenna plate 3 and the flip cover 4 are fixed. The crank rod 5 is rotatably connected to the middle of the antenna plate 3.

[0024] The flip cover 4 is provided with a double-sided slide rail 7 at the end away from the box body 1. The double-sided slide rail 7 is provided on both sides of the flip cover 4. A through hole 6 is provided in the middle of the flip cover 4 on the lower side of the double-sided slide rail 7. When the flip cover 4 is not opened, the double-sided slide rail 7 on the outward side can be slidably connected to the protective plate 8. The lower section of the protective plate 8 can block the through hole 6 to protect the internal equipment from wind and sand.

[0025] A turntable 11 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the housing 1. A signal line 10 is coiled on the upper side of the turntable 11. The signal line 10 is responsible for connecting the antenna board 3 with the relevant electronic components inside the housing 1. The signal line 10 is wrapped with a polyurethane material with strong tensile strength, which can protect the internal copper wires that transmit signals and withstand the force of pulling the antenna board 3. The other end of the signal line 10 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the antenna board 3. When the antenna board 3 is retracted, the antenna board 3 slides downward and the signal line 10 is pulled out and extends from the turntable 11.

[0026] The lower end of the turntable 11 is rotatably connected to a torsion spring 12, and the lower end of the torsion spring 12 is fixedly connected to the housing 1. When the antenna board 3 needs to be opened, the flip cover 4 is flipped to separate the quick connector 16 and the quick interface 15. The torsion spring 12 rotates the turntable 11, and the turntable 11 pulls the signal line 10, so that the antenna board 3 obtains an upward force, thereby opening the flip cover 4 and the antenna board 3.

[0027] Example 2

[0028] Reference Figure 1-4 This is the second embodiment of the present invention, which differs from the first embodiment in that:

[0029] A protective plate 8 is slidably connected to the double-sided slide rail 7. The protective plate 8 is an independent component and plays different roles when the flip cover 4 is opened and closed. Blocks 13 are fixedly installed on both sides of the upper end of the protective plate 8 to prevent the protective plate 8 from sliding off the double-sided slide rail 7. A parabolic cover 9 is provided on the upper side of the protective plate 8 to enhance the reception effect of directional signals.

[0030] The upper end of the flip cover 4 is rotatably connected to a rotating ring 14, and the upper end of the rotating ring 14 is rotatably connected to a parabolic cover 9. The rotation direction of the flip cover 4 and the rotating ring 14 is perpendicular to the direction of the rotating ring 14 and the parabolic cover 9. The rotating ring 14 is hinged perpendicularly to the protective plate 8 and the parabolic cover 9, and a gap is left at the hinge, so that the parabolic cover 9 can rotate at a certain angle relative to the protective plate 8 in the horizontal and vertical directions.

[0031] The remaining structure is the same as that in Example 1.

[0032] The specific operating principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0033] The device is fixed as a whole with the box body 1 as the installation base. The box body 1 is installed on the outer wall of the RV through a wall-mounted structure. Two side rails 2 are symmetrically arranged on the front side along the vertical direction. The antenna plate 3 is slidably connected to the side rails 2 through a slider. In the initial state, it is stored in the front side of the box body 1. The flip cover 4 is hinged to the bottom edge of the box body 1. The upper end of the crank rod 5 is rotatably connected to the flip cover 4 and is located near the hinge point. The lower end is rotatably connected to the antenna plate 3, so that the antenna plate 3 can slide up and down as the flip cover 4 rotates.

[0034] When the antenna needs to be deployed, flip cover 4 is flipped to separate quick connector 15 and quick connector 16. Under the action of torsion spring 12, turntable 11 pulls signal line 10 to move antenna plate 3 connected to it upward. Antenna plate 3 pushes flip cover 4 to rotate through crank rod 5 until flip cover 4 is fully unfolded and fits against the rising antenna plate 3. Then, protective plate 8 is inserted into double-sided slide rail 7 on the outside of flip cover 4. When stop block 13 stops the height of protective plate 8, parabolic cover 9 on protective plate 8 aligns with through hole 6 on flip cover 4, so that the signal is focused on antenna plate 3 on the back of flip cover 4 at this time. Then, the direction of stronger signal is found by manually adjusting rotating ring 14 and parabolic cover 9, which plays the role of enhancing signal.

[0035] Finally, when it is necessary to retract the antenna plate 3, flip the cover 4 to return it to its initial position. At this time, the crank 5 connected to the cover 4 pushes the antenna plate 3 downward through the lower end, and the antenna plate 3 pulls the signal line 10, so that the turntable 11 releases the length of the signal line 10 and recharges the torsion spring 12, realizing the synchronous rewinding and storage of the signal line, waiting for the next antenna to be turned on. Finally, the cover 4 closes to cover the surface of the box 1, realizing storage and protection in an ultra-thin state.

[0036] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
