[0027] Example 1
[0028] Please see Figure 1-4A wing-embedded satellite communication antenna radome includes a wing 1, a radome main frame 2, and communication components. The radome main frame 2 is located at the front end of the wing 1, and the communication components are located at the top of the wing 1. A mounting groove 21 is formed on the back side of the radome main frame 2 to engage with the wing 1. The radius of curvature of the groove is consistent with the surface of the wing 1, achieving seamless conformal embedding. The outer wall of the mounting groove 21 is provided with a weather-resistant pressure-resistant layer 25 made of rubber or silicone material, which adheres tightly to the surface of the wing 1 to prevent moisture intrusion.
[0029] The front end of the main frame 2 of the cover is provided with a dividing end 3, which divides the main frame 2 of the cover into two symmetrical parts, upper and lower. The outer surface of the dividing end 3 is coated with a high temperature resistant coating, which can withstand high temperature. The dividing end 3 is tangent to the two sides of the main frame 2 of the cover, which can release the impacted airflow from both sides and ensure a smooth transition of the aerodynamic shape.
[0030] The main frame 2 of the cover is equipped with fixed side frames 4 at both ends, which are fixed to the wings 1. One end of each fixed side frame 4 is equipped with a transition plate 42 connected to the main frame 2 of the cover to ensure the curvature of the connection and avoid the occurrence of angles that would increase the flight drag of the wings 1. The fixed side frame 4 is snapped into the front end of the wings 1. The inner thread of the fixed side frame 4 is fitted with a threaded bolt 41 that is fixed to the outer surface of the wings 1. One end of the bolt is located on the inner side of the fixed side frame 4 and the other end is located on the inner front end of the wings 1 to ensure the stability of the two when they are engaged and embedded.
[0031] A row of flow grooves 7 is opened on both the upper and lower sides of the main frame 2 of the cover. An arc-shaped layer 22 is provided on the back side of the main frame 2 of the cover. The bottom of the arc-shaped layer 22 is in contact with the top surface of the wing 1. A flow groove 7 that runs through the arc-shaped layer 22 is opened on the front side of the top of the main frame 2 of the cover. The inner surface of the flow groove 7 is parallel to the top surface of the wing 1, forming an airflow channel to reduce the surface temperature of the main frame 2 of the cover.
[0032] A hydrophobic coating can be applied to the inner wall of the flow channel 7 to prevent ice and rainwater accumulation.
[0033] like Figure 4 As shown, the back side of the arc-shaped layer 22 is provided with a positioning screw groove 23 that communicates with the wing 1, and the inner side of the positioning screw groove 23 is provided with a headless screw that is fixed to the wing 1.
[0034] The inner side of the positioning screw groove 23 can be threaded with an electrostatic brush 24 located on the outer side of the arc-shaped layer 22. The electrostatic brush 24 is in contact with the headless screw, which can guide the static electricity of the cover and the wing 1 into the atmosphere to prevent the accumulation of static electricity from causing electromagnetic interference. At the same time, the electrostatic brush 24 is lower than the opening of the flow groove 7 to avoid affecting the aerodynamic performance.
[0035] It should be noted that the main frame 2 of the cover adopts a modular design, and the fixed side frame 4 and positioning screw groove 23 can be quickly disassembled, greatly reducing maintenance time.
[0036] Example 2
[0037] Please see Figure 1 , 3 4, 5. The communication component includes a communication column 5 and a fin antenna 6. The communication column 5 is located inside the main frame 2 of the enclosure. The fin antenna 6 is fixedly installed on the top of the main frame 2 of the enclosure. The fin antenna 6 covers the top surface of the communication column 5. A receiving column 62 that is engaged with the communication column 5 is provided inside the fin antenna 6.
[0038] The top surface of the communication column 5 is provided with a pressure plate 51 that is coplanar with the top of the main frame 2 of the radome. The pressure plate 51 is in contact with the bottom surface of the fin antenna 6 to ensure mechanical stability. The inner wall of the communication column 5 is provided with three mounting bolts 54 that are fixed to the inner cavity of the main frame 2 of the radome. The mounting bolts 54 can be made of high-strength carbon fiber composite material to reduce weight.
[0039] like Figure 5 As shown, the inner cavity of the communication column 5 is provided with six transmission columns 52 arranged in a circular array. The six transmission columns 52 are connected by a common connecting ring 53 to realize the interconnection of electrical signals and avoid individual damage that would affect the overall communication effect. The mounting bolts 54 are fixed to the transmission columns 52, which can realize the quick installation and removal of the whole.
[0040] The top inner side of the fin antenna 6 is provided with a fixing bolt 61 that is fixed to the inner cavity of the main frame 2 of the fin antenna. The bottom of the fin antenna 6 is fixedly installed with a receiving post 62 that engages with the communication post 5. The receiving post 62 is snapped into the inner side of the transmission post 52. The receiving post 62 adopts a spring probe structure to ensure reliable contact with the transmission post 52, adapt to vibration during flight, and realize stable transmission of electrical signals. The inner cavity of the fin antenna 6 is provided with a communication module 63 that is electrically connected to the receiving post 62.
[0041] It should be noted that the satellite signal is received by the internal communication module 63 of the fin antenna 6, transmitted through the receiving column 62 to the transmission column 52 inside the communication column 5, and then collected by the connecting ring 53 before being transmitted to the airborne communication equipment through the internal cable of the wing 1.
[0042] The transmitted signal can be transmitted in reverse, enabling bidirectional communication.
[0043] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
