Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of satellite base station adjustment technology, and in particular to a portable satellite base station. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of the Internet and the application of technology, the demand for communication is increasing, and there are more and more scenarios where signals are relatively scarce, such as patrol and inspection in remote areas, emergency response, rescue, public security, fire fighting, outdoor live broadcasting, etc., which often have temporary additional communication needs.

[0003] In existing technologies, the common approach is to use a bracket to work with the main body of a satellite base station, which can be applied to establish temporary high-speed communication in scenarios such as patrol and inspection, emergency response, rescue, public security, fire fighting, and outdoor live streaming.

[0004] In existing technologies, brackets are often detachably fixed to the base station body using threaded connections, allowing for easy disassembly, transport to the destination, and reassembly on the ground to form a satellite base station. However, aside from a few emergency or rescue situations, other scenarios such as patrol inspections and outdoor live broadcasts often involve relatively frequent disassembly and reassembly. This can easily cause significant wear and tear on the contact points of the threaded connections, affecting both the overall stability of the assembled satellite base station and the assembly itself. Therefore, maintaining ease of disassembly and reassembly while ensuring a relatively stable assembled state is a pressing issue that needs to be addressed. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to maintain ease of disassembly and assembly while maintaining a relatively stable assembly state, this application provides a lightweight satellite base station.

[0006] This application provides a portable satellite base station, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A portable satellite base station includes a base station body for satellite communication and a base station bracket. The base station bracket is provided with a mounting part, and the base station body is connected to a mating part. The mounting part and the mating part are inserted and mated and detachably connected by adsorption.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the mating part and the mounting part are connected and fixed by adsorption. On the one hand, the stability during use can be guaranteed. On the other hand, since it is fixed by adsorption, there will be no excessive wear between the mounting part and the mating part during disassembly and assembly, which reduces the impact on the stability of the assembly and the mating after assembly. At the same time, even if there is wear, since it is fixed by adsorption, the impact on the stability of the base station body after installation can be reduced. This achieves the goal of maintaining the convenience of disassembly and assembly while maintaining a relatively stable assembly state.

[0009] Optionally, the base station body is damped and rotatably connected to the mating part.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the main body of the base station can be assembled and maintain the corresponding angle after satellite search and satellite location.

[0011] Optionally, the relative rotation angle between the base station body and the mating part is in the range of 5° to 85°.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, excessive adjustment angle of the base station body can be avoided.

[0013] Optionally, the mounting part has a stepped shaft structure with the small end facing the base station body, the mating part has a mating hole adapted to the mounting part, the mounting part and / or the mating part is provided with a magnet, and the mating part and / or the mounting part opposite to the magnet is provided with a mating body made of ferromagnetic material.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, after assembly, the mounting part and the mating part are fixed by magnetic adsorption of the mating body. Even if a certain gap is generated due to wear, the magnetic adsorption has a very small impact on the adsorption force.

[0015] Optionally, the magnet is a manual permanent magnet chuck with the adjustment end extending out of the mating or mounting part.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the installation and assembly parts can be disassembled and assembled relatively easily, without having to completely overcome suction to install, making it more convenient for outdoor use.

[0017] Optionally, a heat insulation layer is provided around the magnet.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, since the magnet is often exposed to direct sunlight outdoors, the heat insulation layer can reduce the temperature of the magnet during use, so as to maintain the stability of adsorption.

[0019] Optionally, the insulation layer is made of either ceramic fiber or aerogel.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the heat transferred from the outside to the magnet can be significantly reduced.

[0021] Optionally, the base station bracket includes three damped, rotatably connected legs with variable lengths to the mounting portion.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, it can adapt to irregular outdoor ground and can also be folded for easy carrying.

[0023] Optionally, the support leg damping rotates on the main branch pipe of the mounting part and the auxiliary branch pipe is inserted into the main branch pipe, and the main branch pipe and the auxiliary branch pipe are in telescopic cooperation.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the length of the support legs can be adjusted to better adapt to irregular ground surfaces.

[0025] Optionally, the end of the main branch pipe away from the installation part is fixed with an elastic damping sleeve sleeved on the secondary branch pipe.

[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, the relative axial sliding between the main branch pipe and the secondary branch pipe can be restricted.

[0027] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0028] When in use, the length and angle of the three legs can be adjusted to adapt to outdoor ground placement; at the same time, it is fixed by magnetic attraction, which optimizes the convenience of disassembly and assembly, as well as the stability of the fixation; and significantly reduces the impact of wear caused by frequent disassembly and assembly on the stability of the assembly.

Detailed Implementation

[0033] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-3 This application will be described in further detail.

[0034] In existing technologies, brackets are often detachably fixed to the base station body 1 using threaded connections, allowing for easy disassembly, transport to the destination, and reassembly on the ground to form a satellite base station. However, apart from a few emergency and rescue situations, other scenarios, such as patrol inspections and outdoor live broadcasts, often involve relatively high frequencies of disassembly and reassembly. Simultaneously, external environmental factors, such as wind, cause frequent vibrations at the disassembly and connection points, easily leading to structural wear and affecting the stability of the base station body during use. Current developments focus primarily on the precision of the connection structure and the use of more wear-resistant materials to resist wear caused by frequent disassembly and reassembly and vibration. However, high-precision fits place higher demands on processing technology and equipment, while more wear-resistant materials further increase costs and simultaneously raise the requirements for processing technology and equipment. Clearly, simply improving fit precision and changing materials, while effective approaches, result in higher costs and stricter transportation requirements, leading to a bottleneck in improving operational stability. Current research and development is seeking more effective ways to improve stability and meet the demands of operational stability. Therefore, this application discloses a portable satellite base station.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The portable satellite base station includes a base station body 1 and a base station support 2. The base station body 1 is a portable satellite antenna used for communication with satellites to achieve communication signal coverage around the deployment site, such as a BKu045 ku-band portable satellite antenna, which is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0036] To detachably connect the base station body 1 and the base station bracket 2, a mating part 11 is provided on the back side of the base station body 1 for damping rotational connection, and the base station bracket 2 is provided with a mounting part 21 for mating with the mating part 11. The damping rotational connection includes at least the following implementable methods: for example, the base station body 1 and the mating part 11 are rotatably connected by a friction damping shaft, and the damping torque is controlled by the pressure between the friction plates of the friction damping shaft to achieve adjustable torque; or a magnetorheological damping shaft, where the viscosity of the magnetorheological fluid changes under a magnetic field to achieve stepless damping adjustment; or an elastic-cam composite damping shaft assembly, where the nonlinear damping change is achieved through the cooperation of an elastic element (such as spring steel) and a cam surface to achieve a damping rotational connection, etc. This allows for a certain degree of damping during rotation between the base station body 1 and the mating part 11, limiting the possibility of the base station body 1 swaying due to external wind force during use. The aforementioned damping rotational connection is prior art and will not be described in further detail here. Subsequent damping rotational connection methods can all be implemented using one of the aforementioned methods.

[0037] Furthermore, the relative rotation angle between the base station body 1 and the mating part 11 is within the range of 5° to 85°, so as to enable the base station body 1 to be adjusted in real time according to the terrain of the deployment site and the requirements of the signal angle.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 Meanwhile, the mounting part 21 and the mating part 11 are plugged in and connected by adsorption to achieve a detachable connection, which is convenient for carrying and assembly. At the same time, since the connection is made by plugging in and temporarily fixed by adsorption, wear during use and the impact of wear on adsorption stability can be effectively reduced.

[0039] Furthermore, the mounting part 21 has a stepped shaft structure with its small end facing the base station body 1, and the mating part 11 has a mating hole 111 that extends axially and opens toward the side away from the base station body 1, and the mounting part 21 is inserted into the mating hole 111.

[0040] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The mounting part 21 and / or the mating part 11 are provided with magnets 3, and the mating part 11 or the mounting part 21 without magnets 3 is provided with a mating body 31 made of ferromagnetic material. That is, one of the mounting part 21 and the mating part 11 is provided with magnets 3, and the other of the mounting part 21 and the mating part 11 is provided with a mating body 31 to achieve adsorption connection, and the mounting part 21 and the mating part 11 fit together when adsorbed. Preferably, the magnet 3 is a manual permanent magnet chuck, which is existing technology. For example, a manufacturer can customize a miniature manual permanent magnet chuck, or an existing one can be purchased directly, such as a commercially available small manual permanent magnet chuck with specifications of 35*35*30 mm and an adsorption force of 35 kg; and the control end of the magnet 3 extends radially out of the mating part 11 or the mounting part 21.

[0041] In this embodiment, the magnet 3 is disposed inside the large end of the mounting portion 21. For example, the mounting portion 21 has a mounting hole 211 opening towards the mating portion 11. The magnet 3 is disposed inside the mounting hole 211, and its control end extends radially out of the mounting portion 21. Meanwhile, a mounting rod 212 is fixed to the opening of the mounting hole 211 by bolts, serving as the small end of the mounting portion 21. The mounting rod 212 is made of a magnetically conductive material, such as carbon steel, to achieve fixed installation of the magnet 3 and reduce the impact on the magnetic attraction of the magnet 3. At the same time, the mating body 31 has a ring-shaped structure and is fixed to the opening edge of the mating hole 111 for being attracted and fixed by the magnet 3.

[0042] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3Furthermore, a heat insulation layer 32 is provided around the magnet 3 to reduce the possibility of decreased adsorption force due to excessively high temperatures during outdoor use. The heat insulation layer 32 can be made of ceramic fiber or aerogel, and it is applied to the inner wall of the mounting hole 211 to maintain a relatively stable temperature environment for the magnet 3. Of course, to further maintain a relatively stable temperature environment, at least the surface of the main body of the mounting part 21 can be made of a material with a thermal conductivity greater than that of the magnet 3, such as copper or aluminum alloy, and heat dissipation fins can be provided on the outside to dissipate heat in conjunction with outdoor wind force and reduce temperature.

[0043] Of course, in other embodiments, the mounting part 21 and the mating part 11 can also be fixed by vacuum adsorption, and a valve body is provided to release the vacuum adsorption state when disassembling.

[0044] Specifically, the base station bracket 2 includes three damped rotatable legs 22 that are rotatably connected to the bottom of the large end of the mounting part 21 and have variable lengths.

[0045] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The support leg 22 includes a main support pipe 221 and a secondary support pipe 222 that is inserted into the main support pipe 221, so that the overall length of the support leg 22 is adjustable. The main support pipe 221 is also rotatably connected to the bottom of the mounting part 21 by means of damping rotation, and the three main support pipes 221 are distributed around the mounting part 21, and the angle between adjacent main support pipes 221 along the axial projection of the mounting hole 211 is 120°.

[0046] An elastic damping sleeve 223 is fixed to the end of the main branch pipe 221 away from the installation part 21 and fitted onto the secondary branch pipe 222. The elastic damping sleeve 223 can be made of a material with elastic deformation properties such as rubber or silicone. The section of the elastic damping sleeve 223 away from the installation part 21 is in a contracted state and fitted onto the secondary branch pipe 222 to restrict the axial movement of the secondary branch pipe 222 relative to the main branch pipe 221. At the same time, in conjunction with the torque generated by the secondary branch pipe 222 bearing the overall weight during installation, it can further increase the resistance to the relative axial sliding between the main branch pipe 221 and the secondary branch pipe 222, thereby further restricting the axial sliding between the main branch pipe 221 and the secondary branch pipe 222. In order to further optimize the stability during installation, an elastic support sleeve 224 is fixed to the end of the secondary branch pipe 222 away from the main branch pipe 221 to increase the friction with the ground when installed on rocks or other hard materials.

[0047] The implementation principle of this application embodiment is as follows: When in use, the length and angle of the three legs 22 can be adjusted to adapt to the outdoor ground; at the same time, it is fixed by magnetic attraction 31 of magnet 3, which can optimize the convenience of disassembly and assembly, and also optimize the stability when fixed by attraction; and significantly reduce the impact of wear caused by frequent disassembly and assembly on the stability during assembly.

[0048] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
