Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of 5G communication equipment protection technology, specifically to a lightning-proof 5G base station antenna cover. Background Technology

[0002] A radome is a structure that protects an antenna system from the influence of the external environment. It can protect the antenna system from the effects of wind, rain, snow, sand, dust and solar radiation, making the antenna system's performance more stable and reliable. At the same time, it can reduce the wear, corrosion and aging of the antenna system and extend its service life.

[0003] Traditional radomes mostly only provide basic physical protection and require additional independent lightning rods for lightning protection. This not only increases equipment costs and installation complexity but may also interfere with 5G high-frequency signals due to the electromagnetic coupling effect between the lightning rod and the antenna. Some radomes use metal mesh wrapping for lightning protection, which can achieve lightning interception, but the metal material increases the attenuation rate of 5G signals, thus affecting communication quality. Therefore, a lightning-proof 5G base station radome is proposed to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical issues, a lightning-proof 5G base station radome is provided. This technical solution solves the problems mentioned in the background section, where traditional radomes mostly only provide basic physical protection and require the installation of independent lightning rods to achieve lightning protection. This not only increases equipment costs and installation complexity but may also interfere with 5G high-frequency signals due to the electromagnetic coupling effect between the lightning rod and the antenna. Some radomes use metal mesh wrapping for lightning protection, which can achieve lightning interception, but the metal material increases the attenuation rate of 5G signals, thus affecting communication quality.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A lightning-proof 5G base station antenna cover includes a support frame. Four evenly distributed connecting seats are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the support frame. Conductive plates are fixedly connected between two adjacent connecting seats on the outer surface of the support frame. A protective cover is fixedly connected to the upper end of the support frame. A conductive seat is fixedly connected to the center of the upper end of the protective cover. A lightning rod is fixedly connected to the upper end of the conductive seat. Four conductive strips are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the conductive seat. The other end of each conductive strip is fixedly connected to the upper end of a conductive plate. The conductive strips are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the protective cover. Four conductive posts are fixedly connected to the lower end of the conductive plate. A first through-slot is formed through the outer surface of the protective cover. A wave-transparent plate is fixedly connected inside the first through-slot. A wave-transparent grid is fixedly connected to the inner side of the protective cover.

[0007] Preferably, a second through groove is provided through the outer surface of the wave-transparent grid at the corresponding position of the wave-transparent plate.

[0008] Preferably, the wave-transparent grid is honeycomb-shaped.

[0009] Preferably, a sealing groove is provided at the lower end of the support frame, and a sealing gasket is fixedly connected inside the sealing groove.

[0010] Preferably, the upper end of the connector has a through-hole for connecting screws.

[0011] The advantages of this utility model compared with the prior art are:

[0012] This solution proposes a lightning-proof 5G base station radome. By incorporating lightning rods, conductive bases, conductive strips, conductive plates, and conductive pillars, it effectively prevents lightning strikes from damaging the 5G antenna. Furthermore, the lightning rods, conductive bases, conductive strips, conductive plates, and conductive pillars form a multi-level current-sharing structure, preventing single-point overload. The transparent plate, in conjunction with the honeycomb transparent grid, reduces the attenuation of 5G high-frequency signals caused by the radome, ensuring effective signal transmission.

[0021] The following description is intended to disclose the present invention so that those skilled in the art can implement it. The preferred embodiments described below are merely examples, and other obvious variations will occur to those skilled in the art.

[0022] Reference Figures 1-6 As shown, a lightning-proof 5G base station antenna cover includes a support frame 1. Four evenly distributed connecting seats 2 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the support frame 1. Conductive plates 3 are fixedly connected between two adjacent connecting seats 2 on the outer surface of the support frame 1. A protective cover 4 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the support frame 1. A conductive seat 5 is fixedly connected to the center of the upper end of the protective cover 4. A lightning rod 6 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the conductive seat 5. Four conductive strips 7 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the conductive seat 5. The other end of the conductive strips 7 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the conductive plate 3. The conductive strips 7 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the protective cover 4. Four conductive posts 8 are fixedly connected to the lower end of the conductive plate 3. A first through groove 9 is opened through the outer surface of the protective cover 4. A wave-transparent plate 10 is fixedly connected inside the first through groove 9. A wave-transparent grid 11 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the protective cover 4.

[0023] Furthermore, the protective cover 4 is a dome-shaped hollow shell structure, which serves as the physical protective shell for the antenna and can reduce the impact of wind, rain, snow and sand on the antenna.

[0024] Furthermore, a second through groove 1101 is provided through the outer surface of the wave-transparent grille 11 at the corresponding position of the wave-transparent plate 10, and the wave-transparent grille 11 is honeycomb-shaped.

[0025] Furthermore, when installing the radome, the wave-transparent plate 10 is aligned with the transceiver end of the antenna. The wave-transparent plate 10 is made of glass fiber reinforced epoxy resin composite material, which has low dielectric loss characteristics and can reduce the penetration loss of 5G high-frequency signals. The wave-transparent grille 11 is made of polytetrafluoroethylene, which not only enhances the structural strength of the protective cover 4, but also reduces signal obstruction and reflection, and improves wave transmission efficiency. The second through slot 1101 is a through hole adapted to the wave-transparent plate 10, which can ensure that the signal transmitted by the wave-transparent plate 10 passes through the grille without obstruction and avoids signal attenuation.

[0026] Furthermore, a connecting screw hole 201 is provided through the upper end of the connector 2. By installing bolts in the connecting screw hole 201 and the mounting screw hole on the base station bracket, the antenna cover can be fixed on the base station bracket, thereby achieving stable installation of the antenna cover.

[0027] Furthermore, a sealing groove 101 is provided at the lower end of the support frame 1. A sealing gasket 102 is fixedly connected inside the sealing groove 101. The sealing gasket 102 is a rubber ring gasket. When the antenna cover is fixed on the base station bracket, it fills the installation gap between the connector 2 and the base station bracket by compression deformation, preventing rainwater and moisture from entering the inside of the antenna cover, thereby protecting the equipment inside the antenna cover from corrosion.

[0028] Furthermore, the lightning rod 6 is a pointed metal rod that actively attracts lightning strikes through the tip discharge effect, guiding the lightning energy to itself and preventing the antenna from being directly struck. The conductive base 5 serves as the connection hub between the lightning rod 6 and the conductive strip 7, and is used to disperse the lightning current received by the lightning rod 6 into multiple conductive strips 7, thus dispersing and transmitting the lightning current. The conductive plate 3 serves as the lateral conduction carrier of the lightning current, and is used to further disperse the current dispersed by the conductive strip 7 into each conductive post 8 for downward transmission. The lower end of the conductive post 8 is connected to the base station grounding system, and is used to guide the lightning current transmitted by the conductive plate 3 into the ground.

[0029] Working principle: When struck by lightning, the lightning rod 6 actively intercepts the lightning through tip discharge. The lightning current is diverted to the four conductive strips 7 via the conductive base 5. The conductive strips 7 disperse the current to the corresponding conductive plates 3. The conductive plates 3 further disperse the current to multiple conductive posts 8. The current is then conducted into the base station grounding system through the conductive posts 8 and finally safely discharged to the ground, preventing lightning from directly affecting the antenna. In daily use, the 5G signal achieves efficient transmission through the low-loss characteristics of the transparent plate 10 and the synergistic effect of the grille reducing obstruction. The sealing gasket 102 of the support frame 1 can block the intrusion of external moisture and ensure the stable operating environment of the internal equipment.
