[0019] The features and exemplary embodiments of various aspects of this application will be described in detail below. To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only intended to explain this application and not to limit it. For those skilled in the art, this application can be implemented without some of these specific details. The following description of the embodiments is merely to provide a better understanding of this application by illustrating examples.

[0020] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used merely to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising..." does not exclude the presence of additional identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.

[0021] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, this application embodiment provides an antenna mounting structure, which includes a mounting rod 1 and a flexible protective cover 2. The mounting rod 1 provides a mounting base for the antenna 8, and the flexible protective cover 2 provides shielding protection for the antenna 8, avoiding problems such as resident dissatisfaction due to antenna 8 exposure and reduced antenna 8 lifespan.

[0022] Mounting rod 1 is set vertically and is used to mount antenna 8. Specifically, antenna 8 is positioned on mounting rod 1 by means of a clamp structure.

[0023] Optionally, the outer side of the mounting rod 1 is provided with anti-slip texture, or the mounting rod 1 is fitted with an anti-slip sleeve.

[0024] The flexible protective cover 2 covers at least part of the mounting rod 1 and the antenna 8 from top to bottom. The dimensions of the flexible protective cover 2 and the mounting rod 1 can be adjusted according to parameters such as the size of the antenna 8 and the installation position of the antenna 8.

[0025] The edge of the flexible protective cover 2 is tightened and fixed to the mounting rod 1, so that the flexible protective cover 2 deforms and encloses a closed space for the antenna 8 to be placed inside, thereby providing shielding protection for the antenna 8.

[0026] Optionally, the flexible protective cover 2 is made of a waterproof tarpaulin made of polyvinyl chloride resin as the base material and combined with a coating process.

[0027] Optionally, the flexible protective cover 2 is made of a waterproof tarpaulin with polyethylene as the base material and a double-sided coating process.

[0028] Optionally, the flexible protective cover 2 is made of waterproof tarpaulin with nylon as the base material and a coating process.

[0029] Optionally, the flexible protective cover 2 is made of polyester coated canvas.

[0030] like Figure 2 As shown in the embodiment of this application, the antenna mounting structure has a flexible protective cover 2 in an unfolded state and an installed state.

[0031] In its unfolded state, the flexible protective cover 2 is laid flat as a circular sheet structure; optionally, the diameter of the circular sheet structure ranges from 1m to 3m, which can meet the installation requirements of most antennas 8.

[0032] It should be noted that when there are other installation size requirements, the size of the circular sheet structure can be adjusted to exceed the above diameter range, and this application is not limited to this.

[0033] In the installed state, the center of the circular sheet structure is coaxial with the mounting rod 1. Under the action of gravity, the circular sheet structure naturally droops and covers at least part of the mounting rod 1. The edge of the circular sheet structure is fixed to the wall of the mounting rod 1 by the fastener 3. That is, the circular sheet structure is placed on the upper end of the mounting rod 1, so that its circle corresponds to the upper end of the mounting rod 1, and its periphery naturally droops to the periphery of the mounting rod 1 to ensure that the circular sheet structure is evenly stressed and to prevent it from slipping off the mounting rod 1 due to uneven stress.

[0034] like Figure 2 As shown in the embodiment of this application, the antenna mounting structure has multiple through holes 21 at the edge of the circular sheet structure, and the multiple through holes 21 are spaced apart along the circumference of the circular sheet structure; optionally, the multiple through holes 21 are evenly spaced apart to ensure that the edge of the circular sheet structure can be evenly tightened by the fastener 3.

[0035] The fastener 3 is a cable tie. In the installed state, the cable tie passes through each through hole 21 in sequence and is tightened and fixed to the mounting rod 1.

[0036] Optionally, the cable ties are made of stainless steel, which have good structural strength and corrosion resistance, ensuring service life.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown in the embodiment of this application, the antenna mounting structure includes a flexible protective cover 2 with multiple ventilation holes 22. These holes allow for ventilation inside the flexible protective cover 2, keeping the interior of the cover dry and facilitating the rapid dissipation of heat generated by the antenna 8 through the ventilation holes 22, thus ensuring the normal operation of the antenna 8.

[0038] Optionally, in the antenna mounting structure provided in this application embodiment, the flexible protective cover 2 has a front side and a back side. During installation, the front side is the street-facing side, facing, for example, a street or a public area with a large number of residents frequently passing through; the back side is the back-street side, facing, for example, a public area with almost no residents passing through, such as a building 9.

[0039] Ventilation holes 22 are located on the rear side, which further enhances the shielding and concealment effect of the flexible protective cover 2 on the antenna 8, reducing the problem of residents' dissatisfaction caused by the discovery of the antenna 8.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, the antenna mounting structure provided in this application further includes a lightning rod 4, which is installed at the upper end of the mounting rod 1 to provide lightning protection for the antenna 8.

[0041] Specifically, the flexible protective cover 2 has a through hole 23, and at least a portion of the lightning rod 4 extends through the through hole 23 to the outside of the flexible protective cover 2, so as to ensure that at least part of the lightning rod 4 is exposed outside the flexible protective cover 2, thereby ensuring its lightning protection effect.

[0042] Optionally, a sealing ring 5 is provided at the through hole 23, and the outer peripheral surface of the sealing ring 5 is fixedly connected to the edge of the through hole 23 to ensure the reliability of the connection between the two.

[0043] With the lightning rod 4 penetrating the through hole 23, the sealing ring 5 is fitted onto the lightning rod 4, and the inner circumferential surface of the sealing ring 5 is in sealing contact with the lightning rod 4. Through the sealing contact between the sealing ring 5 and the lightning rod 4, a certain frictional force is generated between them, so that the sealing ring 5 and the lightning rod 4 remain basically relatively stationary. This can provide an upward supporting force for the upper end of the flexible protective cover 2, reducing the possibility of the flexible protective cover 2 continuously sliding down under the action of gravity. At the same time, through the sealing contact between the sealing ring 5 and the lightning rod 4, the possibility of rainwater entering the interior of the flexible protective cover 2 through the through hole 23 can be effectively reduced.

[0044] like Figure 3 As shown in the embodiment of this application, the antenna mounting structure has a decorative coating 6 on the outer surface of the flexible protective cover 2. The decorative coating 6 can provide concealment protection for the flexible protective cover 2 and reduce the probability of it being discovered by surrounding residents.

[0045] Optionally, depending on the specific application environment, the decorative coating 6 can be a green plant pattern or other natural landscape pattern, architectural pattern or other man-made structure pattern, so that the flexible protective cover 2 has good concealment and camouflage capabilities.

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, the antenna mounting structure provided in this application includes a mounting rod 1 connected to at least one support rod 7. The support rod 7 is inclined, forming angles with both the vertical and horizontal directions. The upper end of the support rod 7 is connected to the mounting rod 1, and the lower end of the support rod 7 is on the same horizontal plane as the lower end of the mounting rod 1 and is spaced apart. By setting the support rod 7, reliable support can be provided for the mounting rod 1 and the flexible protective cover 2, lightning rod 4, antenna 8, and other structures mounted on it, preventing damage to the antenna 8 caused by the mounting rod 1 tilting under strong winds.

[0047] Optionally, multiple support rods 7 are provided, and the multiple support rods 7 are evenly spaced along the circumference of the mounting rod 1. A certain distance must be maintained between the lower end of the support rod 7 and the lower end of the mounting rod 1 to ensure the support effect of the support rod 7 on the mounting rod 1.

[0048] Optionally, the distance between the lower end of the support rod 7 and the lower end of the mounting rod 1 is greater than or equal to 800 mm.

[0049] Optionally, when a retaining wall 92 is provided around the antenna mounting structure, the lowest position of the flexible protective cover 2 should be higher than the highest position of the retaining wall 92, so as to reduce the shielding effect of the retaining wall 92 on the antenna 8 inside the flexible protective cover 2 and ensure the communication function of the antenna 8.

[0050] Optionally, the lower end of the mounting rod 1 is detachably connected to the building via anchor bolts.

[0051] Secondly, such as Figure 4 As shown, this application also provides a base station, wherein the base station includes an antenna 8 and an antenna mounting structure as described in the first aspect, the antenna 8 being detachably mounted on a mounting rod 1 of the antenna mounting structure, and the antenna 8 being located inside a flexible protective cover 2 of the antenna mounting structure.

[0052] The antenna mounting structure is installed between the wall 91 and the retaining wall 92 of the building 9, wherein the back side of the flexible protective cover 2 faces the wall of the building 9.

[0053] The base station in this application embodiment has an antenna mounting structure that provides a mounting base for the antenna 8 by setting a mounting rod 1. At the same time, by setting a flexible protective cover, the antenna 8 can be effectively shielded and protected, avoiding problems such as resident dissatisfaction and reduced service life of the antenna 8 due to exposure of the antenna 8.

[0054] The above description is merely a specific implementation of this application. Those skilled in the art will clearly understand that, for the sake of convenience and brevity, the specific working processes of the systems, modules, and units described above can be referred to the corresponding processes in the foregoing method embodiments, and will not be repeated here. It should be understood that the protection scope of this application is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of various equivalent modifications or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in this application, and these modifications or substitutions should all be covered within the protection scope of this application.
