Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of energy-saving equipment technology, specifically relating to a 5G base station energy-saving device based on soft shutdown. Background Technology

[0002] Base station energy consumption is primarily electricity-based. Compared to 4G base stations, 5G base stations not only consume more than three times the power, but also require a significantly increased number due to coverage degradation. For operators, the high power consumption of 5G base stations has become a primary constraint on 5G network deployment. The two main energy-saving solutions for base stations are hard shutdown and soft shutdown. Hard shutdown measures typically include battery decoupling, remote relay shutdown, and FSU shutdown. Hard shutdown offers good energy savings but requires a relatively long recovery time. Soft shutdown measures employ AUU intelligent sleep mode, which uses automated programs to control the intermittent sleep of carriers or channels without power interruption. In practice, the radiation range and data exchange volume of 5G base stations are constantly changing, making energy saving for base stations a challenge without affecting user experience.

The nuts are spirally connected to the outer wall of the clamping heads to clamp and fasten the shaft in the clamping components.

[0006] Furthermore, the annular seat is provided with at least three arc grooves, which are concentric with the annular seat and equidistantly distributed on the annular seat, so that the shaft can rotate and move along the arc grooves.

[0007] Furthermore, the annular seat is formed by the snap-fitting of a left shell and a right shell, with the tail of the left shell or the right shell rotatably connected by a rotating seat, and the head is equipped with a plug-in seat for fastening the connection.

[0008] Furthermore, a clamping groove is provided on the upper end of the inner wall of the clamping head, and a rubber pad is fixedly connected in the clamping groove.

[0017] The present invention will be further explained below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0018] Example: As shown in the figure, the 5G base station energy-saving device based on soft shutdown according to this utility model includes a tower 1, an antenna device 2, and an adjustment mechanism 3 installed between the tower 1 and the antenna device 2. The adjustment mechanism 3 includes an annular seat 4 that is fastened to the main body of the tower 1. An arc groove 5 is also installed on the upper side of the annular seat 4. A sliding groove 6 is opened in the middle of the arc groove 5. A slider 7 is connected in the sliding groove 6. A shaft 8 is fixedly connected in the center hole of the slider 7. At least two annular seats 4 are installed on one tower 1. The shaft 8 is connected to the upper and lower... Between the annular seats 4, a rotating frame 9 parallel to the annular seats 4 is also connected in the middle of the shaft 8. A rotating ring 10 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the annular seat 4. The lower end of the antenna device 2 is fastened to the outer wall of the rotating ring 10, and the middle and upper part is fastened to the rotating frame 9. A gear plate 11 is installed on the inner wall of the rotating frame 9. A drive motor 12 is fixedly installed on the corresponding iron tower 1. At least three arc grooves 5 are provided on the annular seat 4. The arc grooves 5 are concentric with the annular seat 4 and are equidistantly distributed on the annular seat 4, so that the shaft 8 can rotate and move along the arc grooves 5. The annular seat 4 is formed by the snap-fitting of the left shell 17 and the right shell 18. The tail of the left shell 17 or the right shell 18 is rotatably connected by a rotating seat 19, and the head is equipped with a plug-in seat 20 for fastening connection. A reinforcing plate 22 for reinforcing the structure is also installed on the rotating frame 9.

[0019] refer to Figure 1-4In this embodiment, the tower 1 is constructed by connecting hollow tubular components. The outer wall of the tower 1 is equipped with reinforcing ribs and mounting plates for suspending safety ropes and installing antenna equipment 2 such as RRUs or AAUs. The annular seat 4 in the adjustment mechanism 3 is composed of two semi-circular shells, connected by a rotating seat 19. After the insertion seat 20 is in contact, the left shell 17 and right shell 18 can freely rotate and open or close along the rotating seat 19. During installation, they are closed and fastened to the base of the connection point of the tower 1. The insertion seat 20 is then tightened with bolts, fixing the annular seat 4 to the tower body of the tower 1. Three equally spaced arc grooves 5 are provided on the annular seat 4. A sliding groove 6 is also provided in the center of each arc groove 5, allowing the slider 7 to move within the sliding groove 6 while being limited vertically. A shaft 8 is vertically connected to the slider 7 within the arc groove 5. Two sliders 7 and two shafts 8 are installed in each arc groove 5, for a total of six shafts 8. The upper part of the shafts 8 is also connected... Six shafts 8 are slidably connected within another annular seat 4, i.e., between the upper and lower annular seats 4. At the same time, a rotating ring 10 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the lower annular seat 4 via ball bearings, allowing the rotating ring 10 to rotate freely along the outer wall of the annular seat 4. The turnover frame 9 is connected in parallel to the six shafts 8. Corresponding to the arc groove 5, three arc blocks are fixedly connected to the shafts 8. A gear disk 11 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the arc blocks. At the same time, a drive motor 12 and a gear are fixedly installed on the corresponding position of the iron tower 1. When the drive motor 12 works, it drives the gear to rotate and mesh with the gear disk 11, causing the turnover frame 9 to rotate. The turnover frame 9 is limited vertically by the arc groove 5, thus driving the shafts 8 to rotate within the arc groove 5. The antenna equipment 2 is fixedly connected between the turnover frame 9 and the rotating ring 10. When rotating, the turnover frame 9 acts as the driving end, and the rotating ring 10 acts as the driven end, together driving the antenna equipment to rotate. Its rotation range is the same as the range of the arc groove 5. The antenna device 2 itself has an angle adjustment bracket, so there is no need to consider the vertical tilt angle installation position of the antenna device 2 during installation in this application. Only the circumferential adjustment needs to be controlled.

[0020] The turnover frame 9 is also equipped with clamping components 13 at both ends, which are connected to the shaft 8. These components include a base 14, two clamping heads 15, and nuts 16 screwed onto the clamping heads 15. The base 14 is fixed to the turnover frame 9 with a central hole. The clamping heads 15 are symmetrically connected to the base 14 with an outer circle and an inner square, located on both sides of the shaft 8. The nuts 16 are screwed to the outer wall of the clamping heads, clamping and securing the shaft 8 in the clamping components 13. A clamping groove 21 is also provided on the upper end of the inner wall of the clamping head 15, and a rubber pad is fixedly connected inside the clamping groove 21.

[0021] refer to Figure 5In this embodiment, the clamping member 13 is used to fix the turnover rack 9 to the shaft 8. By loosening the nut 16 to release the clamping head 15, the turnover rack 9 can be brought into contact with the shaft 8. At this time, the turnover rack 9 can be moved up and down along the shaft 8 to adjust its position. Then, the nut 16 is connected to the clamping head 15 to clamp the shaft 8, thereby fixing the turnover rack 9. The closed cross section of the clamping head 15 is an outer circle and an inner square. The outer edge is provided with threads, and the inner square hole can increase the clamping force with the shaft 8. A clamping groove 21 is opened on the inner wall of the clamping head 15. The cross section of the clamping groove 21 is converging and a rubber pad is installed inside to prevent the rubber pad from falling off and being lost during clamping. Secondly, the rubber pad can increase the friction with the shaft 8, making the structure more stable.

[0022] This utility model features an adjustment mechanism that drives a toothed disc to rotate via a drive motor, causing the rotating frame to move. The rotating frame moves between two annular seats via a shaft and is confined within an arc-shaped groove. The upper and lower ends of the antenna device are rotatably connected to the rotating ring and the rotating frame, respectively. As the rotating frame moves, it causes the antenna device to rotate along the arc-shaped groove, changing its orientation. When there is no load in the cell at night, the antenna device can be stopped. When there is a signal demand, antennas at other angles can be rotated into the range to provide coverage and signal exchange, thereby reducing energy consumption and achieving the effect of soft shutdown, cost saving, and efficiency improvement. The structure is simple and easy to use.

[0023] The above description is only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and is not intended to limit it. Any other modifications or equivalent substitutions made by those skilled in the art to the technical solution of this utility model, as long as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
