Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of antenna technology, specifically relating to a broadband antenna and its folding structure. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of communication technology, broadband antennas are widely used in communication systems. In some scenarios, such as temporary outdoor communication deployments and antenna testing, antennas need to have convenient unfolding and folding functions for easy transportation and rapid setup. Existing antenna folding structures suffer from problems such as complex folding operations, insufficient stability after unfolding, and limited adaptability, making it difficult to meet practical application requirements.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to design a folding structure that is simple in structure, easy to operate, has good stability and is compatible with broadband antennas, as well as a broadband antenna with such a folding structure. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a broadband antenna and its folding structure to address the shortcomings of existing technologies.

[0005] Firstly, this utility model proposes a folding structure for a broadband antenna, comprising: a frame, which is composed of support rods, horizontal connecting strips, connecting rods, and several vertical support strips to form a frame for arranging the antenna; and a folding linkage mechanism, including at least two sets of main connecting rods and secondary connecting rods, wherein one end of the main connecting rod is hinged to the horizontal connecting strip of the frame, and the other end is hinged to the secondary connecting rod, and the other end of the secondary connecting rod is hinged to the connecting rod. Through the cooperation of the frame and the folding linkage mechanism, the antenna can be easily unfolded and folded, improving the deployment flexibility and portability of the broadband antenna.

[0006] Preferably, the folding linkage mechanism is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the support rod. Through the cooperation of the frame and the folding linkage mechanism, along with the symmetrical layout on both sides, the antenna can be deployed / retrieved more smoothly, with uniform force distribution, improving structural stability and portable deployment flexibility.

[0007] Preferably, it also includes a locking component, which is disposed at the hinge of the main connecting rod and the auxiliary connecting rod, and is used to lock the folding linkage mechanism in the unfolded or retracted state. Adding a locking component to lock the folding linkage mechanism ensures structural stability when unfolded and a compact form when retracted, improving safety and operational reliability, and enhancing overall practicality in conjunction with the frame and linkage mechanism.

[0008] More preferably, the locking component is a tension spring, with its two ends hinged to the main connecting rod and the auxiliary connecting rod, respectively. Using a tension spring as the locking component automatically locks the relative positions of the main and auxiliary connecting rods using its elastic force, securely maintaining the unfolded or folded state without additional operation. The structure is simple and responsive, improving the convenience of folding operations.

[0009] More preferably, the locking component is a pin structure with a knob. Rotating the knob controls the pin to insert into or retract from the positioning hole on the hinge shaft. Using a pin structure with a knob as the locking component, the engagement of the pin with the positioning hole is controlled by rotating the knob, allowing for precise locking or unlocking of the folded state. The operation is intuitive and the locking is secure, adapting to reliable fixation requirements in different scenarios.

[0010] A further preferred embodiment includes a connecting block detachably connected to the main connecting rod, with one end of the tension spring hinged to the connecting block. Adding a detachable connecting block and hinged tension spring facilitates the installation, replacement, and maintenance of the tension spring. Furthermore, adjusting the position of the connecting block adapts to different elasticity requirements, improving structural adaptability and ease of use.

[0011] Furthermore, preferably, the other end of the connecting block is also provided with a handle. Providing a handle at the other end of the connecting block facilitates the application of force to drive the folding linkage mechanism, making the antenna unfolding or retracting operations more effortless and convenient, thus improving the user experience.

[0012] More preferably, the handle is a handle with a knob. The handle with a knob allows for folding and storage, reducing space occupation when not in use, and making it easier to grip and apply force, further improving operational convenience and structural compactness.

[0013] Preferably, the support rod and the horizontal connecting strip are interconnected. One end of the support rod is connected to the horizontal connecting strip via the connecting rod, and a plurality of the vertical support strips are connected to the connecting rod. The support rod and the horizontal connecting strip are connected via the connecting rod, and the vertical support strips are located on the connecting rod, which strengthens the overall connection strength of the frame, ensures the antenna is stably arranged, and adapts to the movement of the folding linkage mechanism, improving structural synergy.

[0014] Secondly, this utility model also proposes a broadband antenna, including the folding structure of the broadband antenna as described in the first aspect, and a base. A support column is provided on the base, and one end of the support rod is detachably connected to the support column. Integrating the above-mentioned folding structure, combined with a base with a support column and detachable connection, ensures stable antenna deployment while facilitating disassembly and portability, thus improving the overall practicality and scenario adaptability of the broadband antenna.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial results of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] Through the synergy of the frame and symmetrical folding linkage mechanism, combined with the design of flexibly lockable components, the broadband antenna can be quickly and smoothly deployed and stored. The detachable connection structure facilitates maintenance and scene adaptation, ensuring stability during deployment while improving the convenience of carrying and operation, thus optimizing the overall practical performance of the broadband antenna.

[0027] Example 1:

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown in the figure, this utility model discloses a folding structure for a broadband antenna, which includes a frame 1 and a folding linkage mechanism 2. The frame 1 is composed of a support rod 11, a horizontal connecting strip 12, a connecting rod 13, and several vertical support strips 14, forming a frame 1 for arranging the antenna. The folding linkage mechanism 2 includes at least two sets of main connecting rods 21 and secondary connecting rods 22. One end of the main connecting rod 21 is hinged to the horizontal connecting strip 12 of the frame 1, and the other end is hinged to the secondary connecting rod 22. The other end of the secondary connecting rod 22 is hinged to the connecting rod 13. Through the cooperation of the frame 1 and the folding linkage mechanism 2, the antenna can be easily unfolded and stored, improving the deployment flexibility and portability of the broadband antenna.

[0029] In one specific embodiment, the frame 1 consists of a support rod 11, a horizontal connecting strip 12, a connecting rod 13, and a vertical support strip 14. The support rod 11 is made of aluminum alloy round tubing, and the horizontal connecting strip 12 is made of aluminum alloy profile with a rectangular cross-section. The two are fixed together by welding to form a right-angle frame. The connecting rod 13 is made of aluminum alloy round tubing of the same specification. One end is hinged to the middle of the support rod 11 by bolts, and the other end is welded to the end of the horizontal connecting strip 12 to form a stable triangular structure. The vertical support strip 14 is made of carbon fiber rods, spaced apart along the length of the connecting rod 13, and fixed to the connecting rod 13 by clamps. It is used to install the radiating element of the broadband antenna.

[0030] The folding linkage mechanism 2 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the support rod 11. Through the cooperation of the frame 1, the folding linkage mechanism 2, and the symmetrical arrangement on both sides, the antenna deployment / retraction is made more stable, with even force distribution, improving structural stability and portable deployment flexibility. The folding linkage mechanism 2 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the support rod 11, and each set includes a main connecting rod 21 and a secondary connecting rod 22. One end of the main connecting rod 21 is hinged to the middle of the transverse connecting bar 12 via a stainless steel pin, and the other end is hinged to the secondary connecting rod 22 via a pin; the other end of the secondary connecting rod 22 is hinged to the end of the connecting rod 13 via a pin. The fit between the pin and the connecting rod is small, ensuring smooth rotation without significant wobbling.

[0031] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, it further includes a locking component 3, which is located at the hinge of the main connecting rod 21 and the auxiliary connecting rod 22, and is used to lock the folding linkage mechanism 2 in the unfolded or retracted state. The addition of the locking component 3 to lock the folding linkage mechanism 2 ensures that the structure is stable when unfolded and compact when retracted, improves the safety and reliability of use, and enhances the overall practicality in conjunction with the frame 1 and the linkage mechanism.

[0032] Spring-type locking: A spring is installed at the hinge of the main connecting rod 21 and the auxiliary connecting rod 22. One end of the spring is connected to the pre-set hanging hole of the main connecting rod 21 through a hook, and the other end is hinged to the detachable connecting block 4. The connecting block 4 is fixed to the adjustment hole of the auxiliary connecting rod 22 by bolts. The locking force can be changed by replacing the spring with a different elastic coefficient or by adjusting the position of the connecting block 4.

[0033] Pin-type locking: Three positioning holes (not shown in the figure) are opened in the middle of the hinge shaft, corresponding to the unfolded state, such as 180°, half-closed state, such as 90°, and fully closed state, such as 0°; the pin with knob is fixed to the outer wall of the main connecting rod 21 by a threaded sleeve. Rotating the knob can drive the pin to insert / exit the positioning hole to achieve state locking.

[0034] Furthermore, a handle 5 is provided at the other end of the connecting block 4. The handle 5 is a handle with a knob. The handle 5 at the other end of the connecting block 4 facilitates the application of force to drive the folding linkage mechanism 2, making antenna deployment or storage easier and more convenient, thus improving the user experience. The handle 5 is a handle with a knob, which allows for folding and storage, reducing space occupation when not in use, and making gripping and force application more convenient, further enhancing operational convenience and structural compactness.

[0035] The metal sleeve welded to the end of the connecting block 4 away from the frame 1 has a built-in handle with a knob. The handle and the sleeve are connected by a damping pivot. When the knob is tightened, the handle angle can be fixed (0°-90°). When loosened, it can be folded to fit the connecting rod 13, reducing the storage volume.

[0036] Furthermore, the support rod 11 and the horizontal connecting strip 12 are interconnected. One end of the support rod 11 is connected to the horizontal connecting strip 12 via a connecting rod 13, and several vertical support strips 14 are connected to the connecting rod 13. The support rod 11 and the horizontal connecting strip 12 are connected via the connecting rod 13, and the vertical support strips 14 are located on the connecting rod 13, which strengthens the overall connection strength of the frame 1, ensures the stability of the antenna arrangement, and adapts to the movement of the folding linkage mechanism 2, improving structural coordination.

[0037] Example 2:

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, this utility model embodiment also discloses a broadband antenna, including a folding structure for the broadband antenna and a base 6. A support column 7 is provided on the base 6, and one end of the support rod 11 is detachably connected to the support column 7. By integrating the above-mentioned folding structure and combining it with the base 6 with the support column 7 and detachable connection, the antenna can be stably deployed and is easy to disassemble and carry, thus improving the overall practicality and scenario adaptability of the broadband antenna.

[0039] In one specific embodiment, the broadband antenna includes the aforementioned folding structure and base 6 assembly. The base 6 is made of cast iron, with a support column 7 welded to its top surface; the end of the support rod 11 is machined with external threads and is detachably connected to the support column 7 via threads. After assembly, it can be tightened and fixed with a wrench, and can be separated by rotating it in the opposite direction.

[0040] Through the collaboration of frame 1 and symmetrical folding linkage mechanism 2, combined with the design of flexibly lockable components, the broadband antenna can be quickly and smoothly deployed and stored. The detachable connection structure facilitates maintenance and scene adaptation, ensuring stability during deployment and improving the convenience of carrying and operation, thus optimizing the overall practical performance of the broadband antenna.
