Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0046] This utility model provides a support structure and storage device that can solve the technical problem in related technologies where support structures are difficult to balance stable support and rapid storage.

[0047] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present invention provides a support structure, which includes a limiting ring 1, at least three support legs 2, at least three connecting rods 3, and a fixing member 4. The limiting ring 1 is used to fit around the outer periphery of the measuring antenna 5. The at least three support legs 2 are spaced apart and rotatably disposed around the outer periphery of the limiting ring 1. The at least three connecting rods 3 correspond one-to-one with the support legs 2. The first end of each connecting rod 3 is rotatably connected to the middle of the corresponding support leg 2. The fixing member 4 is coaxially disposed below the limiting ring 1 and rotatably connected to the second end of each connecting rod 3. The fixing member 4 is used to fix the bottom end of the measuring antenna 5. In this embodiment of the present invention, when using the measuring antenna 5, the measuring antenna 5 is lifted, the limiting ring 1 is slid downward to unfold the support legs 2 and connecting rods 3, and then the support structure is placed on the ground, and the measuring antenna 5 is stably supported by the support structure. After the measuring antenna 5 has finished working, the limiting ring 1 is moved upward along the measuring antenna 5, and the support leg 2 and the connecting rod 3 are simultaneously gathered and retracted, which facilitates quick storage. The support structure provides stable support when unfolded, and at the same time facilitates storage, improving the efficiency of storage and transportation.

[0048] This invention provides a support structure comprising a limiting ring, at least three support legs, at least three connecting rods, and a fixing member. In this embodiment, when using a measuring antenna, the antenna is lifted, the limiting ring is slid downwards, causing the support legs and connecting rods to unfold. The support structure is then placed on the ground, providing stable support for the measuring antenna. After the measuring antenna has finished working, the limiting ring is moved upwards along the antenna, causing the support legs and connecting rods to simultaneously retract, facilitating quick storage. The support structure provides stable support when unfolded and is easy to store, improving storage and transportation efficiency.

[0049] As an optional implementation, in one embodiment of the utility model, see [link to utility model description]. Figure 1 As shown, each of the supporting legs 2 is provided with a supporting leg body 21 and an adjusting rod 22. One end of the supporting leg body 21 is rotatably connected to the outer periphery of the limiting ring 1. The adjusting rod 22 is located at the end of the supporting leg body 21 away from the limiting ring 1, and the bottom end of the adjusting rod 22 is provided with a tapered structure 221. In this embodiment of the present invention, the tapered structure 221 at the bottom end of the adjusting rod 22 facilitates the insertion of the adjusting rod 22 into the ground when the supporting structure is deployed and the measuring antenna 5 is used, providing a stable working environment and improving the reliability of the supporting structure.

[0050] As an optional implementation, in one embodiment of the invention, the adjusting rod 22 and the support leg body 21 are telescopically connected via a threaded structure. In this embodiment, the support leg body 21 has a threaded groove inside its bottom end, and the thread on the outer periphery of the top end of the adjusting rod 22 connects to the threaded groove. By adjusting the screw-in depth of the threaded connection, the height of the support structure is controlled, thereby improving the applicability and flexibility of the support structure.

[0051] As an optional implementation, in one embodiment of the utility model, see [link to utility model description]. Figure 1 As shown, each support leg 2 is also provided with a trunnion 23, which is disposed in a through groove 24 in the middle of the support leg 2. The first end of the connecting rod 3 is sleeved on the outside of the trunnion 23, and the through groove 24 is adapted to the size of the connecting rod 3. In this embodiment of the present invention, the two ends of the trunnion 23 are respectively connected to the mounting holes on both sides of the through groove 24. The connecting rod 3 and the support leg 2 are rotatably connected through the trunnion 23. The connecting rod 3 rotates into the through groove 24, further reducing the space occupied by the support structure in the storage state, which is convenient for storage and transportation. At the same time, in this embodiment of the present invention, a flat washer, a spring washer and a nut are installed on the fixing member 4 to prevent the connecting rod 3 from being completely rotated into the through groove 24 of the support leg 2 and getting stuck, further ensuring the reliability of the support structure.

[0052] As an optional implementation, in one embodiment of the utility model, see [link to utility model description]. Figure 1 As shown, the limiting ring 1 includes a ring body 11 and a counterweight 12. The ring body 11 is fitted around the outer periphery of the measuring antenna 5, and the counterweight 12 is fitted around the bottom outer periphery of the ring body 11. In this embodiment of the invention, when the measuring antenna 5 is used, lifting the measuring antenna 5 causes the limiting ring 1 to slide downwards along the measuring antenna 5 under its own weight, thereby causing the support leg 2 and connecting rod 3 to unfold. The support structure is then placed on the ground, and the measuring antenna 5 is stably supported by the support structure. The limiting ring structure is simple, realizes the automatic unfolding of the support structure, is convenient to operate, and improves work efficiency.

[0053] This utility model embodiment also provides a storage device, which includes a support structure, see [link to documentation]. Figure 4 and Figure 5 The support structure includes a hollow base 6 and a support plate 7. The upper plate 61 of the base 6 is provided with a first limiting through hole 611. The support plate 7 is spaced above the base 6 and is provided with a second limiting through hole 71 coaxial with the first limiting through hole 611. When the aforementioned support structure is stored, the support structure passes through one of the second limiting through holes 71 and the corresponding first limiting through hole 611. The diameters of the second limiting through hole 71 and the first limiting through hole 611 are larger than the outer diameter of the entire support structure when it is folded up, ensuring that the measuring antenna 5 and the support structure can pass through. This utility model provides stable support for the measuring antenna 5 and the support structure, facilitating the storage and transportation of the measuring antenna.

[0054] As an optional implementation, in one embodiment of the utility model, see [link to utility model description]. Figure 4 As shown, the lower plate 62 of the base 6 is provided with limiting grooves corresponding to each of the first limiting through holes 611. When the measuring antenna 5 finishes working, the limiting ring 1 is moved upward along the measuring antenna 5, and the support legs 2 and connecting rods 3 are simultaneously gathered and retracted, passing through the second limiting through hole 71 and the corresponding first limiting through hole 611 and placed into the limiting grooves. Under the action of the limiting ring 1's own weight, the three support legs 2 simultaneously contact the wall of the limiting groove. At this time, the support structure is stably supported by the wall of the limiting groove, and the measuring antenna 5 is stably fixed. The limiting grooves further ensure that the measuring antenna 5 remains stable and does not tip over during storage and transportation, ensuring the reliability of the storage device. In addition, the base 6 has a reserved installation interface at the bottom, which makes it easy to install the storage device on a vehicle or fix it as a whole on a shelf for transportation and storage.

[0055] As an optional implementation, in one embodiment of the utility model, see [link to utility model description]. Figure 4As shown, a plurality of support rods 8 are also provided, and the plurality of support rods 8 are spaced apart between the base 6 and the support plate 7. In this embodiment of the present invention, the base 6 and the support plate 7 are connected by the support rods 8, resulting in a simple structure and high stability.

[0056] As an optional implementation, in one embodiment of the invention, each of the support rods 8 is detachably connected at both ends to the base 6 and the support plate 7, respectively. In this embodiment, the support rods 8 are detachably connected, facilitating maintenance and replacement. By replacing support rods 8 of different heights, the height of the support plate 7 can be adjusted, improving the flexibility of the storage device.

[0057] As an optional implementation, in one embodiment of the utility model, see [link to utility model description]. Figure 4 As shown, there are multiple first limiting through holes 611 and multiple second limiting through holes 71, and all of the multiple first limiting through holes 611 and second limiting through holes 71 are arranged in a rectangular array. This allows for the simultaneous storage of multiple measurement antennas 5, improving storage and transportation efficiency.
