Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of Beidou host technology, and in particular relates to a positioning and communication device with Beidou positioning and orientation and short message functions. Background Technology

[0002] Currently available devices with BeiDou positioning and short message capabilities are generally used independently, without integrating these two functions. Conventional positioning and directional antennas on scattering communication devices typically consist of two directional antennas fixed at specific locations on the back of the antenna surface. To ensure accurate orientation, the spacing between these antennas is generally greater than 1 meter. If short message functionality is required, a BeiDou short message module is fixed between the positioning and directional antennas. For portable scattering communication devices, there is a pressing need for a BeiDou main unit that integrates both positioning and short message capabilities, is easily stored, and can be quickly deployed. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, this application aims to propose a positioning and communication device with BeiDou positioning and orientation and short message functions to solve the problem that portable scattering devices are inconvenient to store.

[0038] Please see Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a positioning and communication device with BeiDou positioning and orientation and short message functions, including:

[0039] Beidou main unit 1, which is equipped with Beidou short message antenna 2;

[0040] Fixed arm 3 and folding arm 4 are provided. Fixed arm 3 is fixedly connected to Beidou host 1. Folding arm 4 is set in correspondence with fixed arm 3 and is rotatably connected to Beidou host 1. Beidou directional antenna 5 is provided at the end of fixed arm 3 and folding arm 4 away from Beidou host 1. Beidou directional antenna 5 is connected to radio frequency unit 6 (i.e. radio frequency line) installed on Beidou host 1.

[0041] The connecting component 7 is rotatably mounted on one side wall of the Beidou host 1 and is positioned away from the radio frequency unit 6. The Beidou host 1 is fixed to the external device 8 (which can be an airborne device, a fixed device, or an external structure such as a fixed wall or a fixed device) through the connecting component 7.

[0042] Specifically, in this embodiment, the Beidou short message antenna 2 and the Beidou directional antenna 5 are integrated on the Beidou host 1. This device can not only realize positioning and orientation functions, but also send and receive short messages. At the same time, with the help of the folding arm 4 and the connecting component 7, it can be quickly unfolded and fixed when in use, and can be quickly stored when not in use. The size when stored is greatly reduced compared with the size when in use, effectively reducing the space occupied when stored.

[0043] In this application, the short message antenna is positioned on the top of the Beidou main unit 1. The information collected by the short message antenna and the Beidou positioning and directional antenna is processed by the control unit and then connected to the external connector and module to obtain information. It should be noted that the processing methods between the short message antenna, the Beidou directional antenna, the control unit, and the external connector are all conventional techniques well known to those skilled in the art. This application does not involve technical improvements to the specific processing methods, but only a structural reconfiguration of the short message antenna and the Beidou directional antenna, that is, integrating the short message antenna and the Beidou directional antenna onto the Beidou main unit 1 to achieve positioning and directional functions as well as the function of sending and receiving short messages.

[0044] In some embodiments, a notch is provided on the bottom side wall of the outer shell of the Beidou host 1. One end of the fixing arm 3 is installed in the notch through a fixing connector 31. The fixing connector 31 has a hollow area reserved inside for installing the radio frequency unit 6. The fixing connector 31 is also provided with an end cap 9 for protecting the radio frequency unit 6. The end cap 9 protects the radio frequency line and also has an aesthetic effect, keeping the internal wiring harness tidy.

[0045] The fixed arm 3 is a hollow cylindrical structure, through which the Beidou directional antenna 5 passes and connects to the radio frequency unit 6;

[0046] The folding arm 4 includes an integrally formed folding frame 41 and a folding connector 42, the folding connector 42 being hinged to the fixed connector 31;

[0047] The folded frame 41 is a hollow cylindrical structure. The Beidou directional antenna 5 passes through the folded frame 41 and the folded connector 42 and is connected to the radio frequency unit 6.

[0048] The folding connector 42 has a first fixing hole, and the first fastener 43 (such as a spring screw, fastening screw, etc., in this embodiment, a spring screw is preferred) passes through the first fixing hole to fix the folding connector 42 to the outer shell of the Beidou host 1.

[0049] Specifically, in this embodiment, in order to reduce the storage space of the entire device, one of the fixed arms 3 is configured as a folding arm 4. The folding arm 4 can rotate relative to the positioning host, such as... Figure 4 As shown, when unfolding, open in the direction of the arrow and then manually tighten the spring screw on the folding connector 42. To fold, simply reverse the steps. The folding mechanism is as follows: Figure 5 As shown, this allows the device to be quickly deployed and stored.

[0050] In some implementations, such as Figures 6 to 8 As shown, the connecting component 7 includes a rotating component and a fixing plate 71 disposed on the rotating component. The rotating component is mounted on the side wall of the outer shell of the Beidou host 1, and the fixing plate 71 is inserted into the external device 8 and fixed in position by rotating the handle.

[0051] Specifically, in this embodiment, by installing a connecting member 7 on the side wall of the Beidou host 1, the rotating part of the connecting member 7 is fixed to the outer shell of the Beidou host 1, one end of the fixing plate 71 is fixedly connected to the rotating part, and the other end is inserted into the external device 8 and fixedly connected by the rotating handle 10, the Beidou host 1, the fixed arm 3 and the folding arm 4 can be rotated, stored and unfolded as a whole.

[0052] The connecting component 7 has a reasonable structure, a simple and easy-to-operate overall structure, and can be quickly folded and stored. The stored size is less than 1 meter, and it can be fixed and locked without the need for special tools.

[0053] In some implementations, such as Figure 6 and Figure 9 As shown, the rotating component includes a fixed bracket 72, a first rotating bracket 73, and a second rotating bracket 74. The fixed bracket 72 is fixedly connected to the outer shell of the Beidou main unit 1 and is hinged to the first rotating bracket 73 and the second rotating bracket 74 respectively. The first rotating bracket 73 and the second rotating bracket 74 are rotatably arranged relative to the fixed bracket 72 and are engaged with each other.

[0054] The fixing plate 71 is fixedly connected to the first rotating bracket 73 and the second rotating bracket 74 respectively. A protrusion 75 extends downward from one side edge of the fixing plate 71. The external device 8 is provided with an inner groove 81 corresponding to the protrusion 75. The outer wall of the protrusion 75 is also provided with a slot 77. The rod of the rotating handle 10 can be inserted into the slot 77. After the rotating handle 10 is tightened, it presses against the slot 77 and is then fixed in the inner groove 81.

[0055] The external device 8 is provided with a limiting member 82 for limiting the fixing plate 71 at one end of the rotating handle. The inner wall surface of the limiting member 82 is inclined to form an inclined groove that fits the fixing plate 71. The outer wall surface of the other edge of the fixing plate 71 is inclined, and the fixing plate 71 is engaged with the limiting member 82.

[0056] Specifically, in this embodiment, one end of the fixing plate 71 is disposed on the first rotating bracket 73 and the second rotating bracket 74. The first rotating bracket 73 and the second rotating bracket 74 rotate around the rod axis of the fixing bracket 72. Since the first rotating bracket 73 and the second rotating bracket 74 are engaged, the first rotating bracket 73 and the second rotating bracket 74 can be unfolded and folded at the same time.

[0057] The other end of the fixing plate 71 is inserted into the external device 8. The fixing plate 71 and the external device 8 can be quickly installed by using the protrusion 75 on the fixing plate 71 and the inner groove 81 on the external device 8, as well as the inclined surfaces of the fixing plate 71 and the limiting member 82. At the same time, the fixing plate 71 and the external device 8 can be fixedly installed by using the rotating handle 10.

[0058] In some implementations, such as Figure 6 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the fixed bracket 72 has a second fixing hole, and the first rotating bracket 73 has a third fixing hole corresponding to the second fixing hole. The second fastener 76 (such as a spring screw, fastening screw, etc., in this embodiment, a spring screw is preferred) passes through the second fixing hole and the third fixing hole in sequence to fix the first rotating bracket 73 and the fixed bracket 72.

[0059] Specifically, in this embodiment, the position is fixed after rotating the Beidou host 1. This application provides a spring screw on the first rotating bracket 73, which can be used to fix and lock the position after unfolding or folding into place. Thus, this application can quickly realize the unfolding, locking and folding storage of the device without the aid of special tools.
