[0002] Vehicle-mounted beacon antennas are specialized communication components designed specifically for vehicles. They are typically installed in suitable locations on the exterior of the vehicle body. Their core function is to receive or transmit beacon signals in specific frequency bands, enabling stable interaction between the vehicle and external beacon systems. They are adaptable to high-speed vehicle movement, complex road conditions, and different weather environments, ensuring reliable signal transmission. They have a wide range of applications in practical applications. During the production process of vehicle-mounted beacon antennas, calibration fixtures are required to calibrate the antennas.

[0003] Traditional calibration fixtures are mostly statically positioned, which can only perform antenna performance calibration in a fixed posture. They cannot reproduce the dynamic scenarios in actual vehicle driving, such as pitch angle changes when the vehicle accelerates, roll angle shifts when turning, and high-frequency vibrations caused by bumpy roads. These dynamic postures directly change the relative angle, distance, and signal propagation path between the antenna and the roadside beacon. Static calibration cannot simulate such dynamic interaction processes, resulting in deviations between the calibration results and the actual performance after installation on the vehicle.

[0026] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 4 As shown:

[0027] Example 1:

[0028] This utility model provides a vehicle-mounted beacon antenna calibration fixture, including a vibration table 1, which is used to simulate the high-frequency vibration scenario generated by bumpy road surface during vehicle driving, and to provide a real vibration environment for antenna calibration.

[0029] The dynamic adjustment mechanism 2 is installed at the top center of the vibration table 1, serving as the core execution component for realizing dynamic adjustment of the antenna attitude;

[0030] The dynamic adjustment mechanism 2 includes a reinforced base frame 21, six first connecting parts 22, six drive components 23, six second connecting parts 24, and a dynamic adjustment frame 25. The reinforced base frame 21 is installed on the top of the vibration table 1 and serves to support and stabilize the overall structure of the dynamic adjustment mechanism 2. The six first connecting parts 22 are installed in pairs at the top triangular position of the reinforced base frame 21 to form a stable three-point support layout. The six drive components 23 are respectively installed on the top of the six first connecting parts 22. The drive components 23 adopt servo electric cylinders and have high-precision displacement adjustment capabilities. The six second connecting parts 24 are respectively installed on the top of the six drive components 23. The dynamic adjustment frame 25 is installed between the tops of the six second connecting parts 24 and can achieve multi-dimensional attitude adjustment under the coordinated drive of the six drive components 23.

[0031] Tooling base 3 is installed on top of dynamic adjustment mechanism 2;

[0032] The antenna body 4 is mounted on the top center of the tooling base 3;

[0033] Vibration motors 11 are installed on both sides of the bottom of the vibration table 1. The two vibration motors 11 can generate vibrations with an adjustable frequency of 10-50Hz when they work synchronously. Air springs 12 are installed at the four corners of the bottom of the vibration table 1. They have shock absorption and buffering functions, which can reduce the transmission of vibration to the mounting base 13. The mounting base 13 is installed between the bottom ends of the four air springs 12. The bottom is provided with anti-slip pads to ensure the stability of the tooling as a whole.

[0034] A temperature and humidity sensor 10 is installed at the bottom center of the vibration table 1 to monitor the temperature and humidity parameters of the calibration environment in real time, providing environmental data support for the accuracy of the calibration results. A laser rangefinder 14 is installed at the top center of the mounting base 13. The detection direction of the laser rangefinder 14 is vertically upward, used to measure the vibration amplitude and displacement of the vibration table 1 in real time.

[0035] Both the reinforced base frame 21 and the dynamic adjustment frame 25 are designed with a V-shaped structure. This structure has the characteristics of high strength and high stability, which can effectively disperse the force during the dynamic adjustment process. The first connector 22 and the second connector 24 are both designed as universal joints, which have 360° rotational freedom, ensuring that the power transmission of the drive component 23 is not limited by angle, and realizing flexible attitude adjustment of the antenna body 4.

[0036] Working principle: During use, the antenna body 4 is installed at the top center of the fixture base 3 for signal transmission and reception. The vibration table 1 provides a basic vibration environment. The vibration motor 11 generates vibration to simulate the high-frequency scenario of a bumpy road surface, thereby verifying the signal stability of the antenna body 4 under vibration. The air springs 12 at the four corners serve to dampen vibration and stabilize the overall fixture, while also ensuring efficient transmission of vibration energy to the antenna body 4. The temperature and humidity sensor 10 monitors the ambient temperature and humidity in real time, providing environmental data reference for calibration results. The laser rangefinder 14 verifies the damping effect of the air springs 12 through distance measurement. When it is necessary to simulate the dynamic posture of a vehicle in motion, the control system controls the drive components 23 to start. It can independently receive control signals and output precise power. The first connector 22 serves as the connection hub between the drive component 23 and the reinforced base frame 21, and the second connector 24 serves as the connection hub between the drive component 23 and the dynamic adjustment frame 25. The universal joint structure adopted by both gives the dynamic adjustment frame 25 multi-dimensional flexible adjustment capability, so that under the synergistic effect of the drive component 23, it can accurately simulate the dynamic attitude of the vehicle, such as the pitch angle change during acceleration and the roll angle shift during turning, thereby reproducing the complex scenario of actual vehicle driving, making the antenna calibration closer to the actual use situation, and effectively improving the accuracy and reliability of the calibration results. This calibration fixture successfully solves the problem that traditional static calibration cannot simulate the dynamic attitude of the vehicle, and significantly improves the accuracy of antenna calibration.

[0037] Example 2:

[0038] This embodiment is basically the same as the previous embodiment, except that a storage groove 15 is provided in the middle of the bottom of the tooling base 3, a three-axis accelerometer 5 is installed in the middle of the top inner wall of the storage groove 15, which is used to collect the acceleration data of the antenna body 4 in real time during the dynamic adjustment process, a gyroscope 6 is installed on one side of the top of the tooling base 3, which is used to accurately detect the attitude angle change of the antenna body 4, a magnetometer 7 is installed on the other side of the top of the tooling base 3, which is used to assist in positioning the spatial orientation of the antenna body 4, an electromagnetic plate 8 is installed in the middle of the top of the tooling base 3, which has an electric adsorption function to enhance the fixed stability of the antenna body 4, and a positioning block 9 is installed in the middle of the top of the electromagnetic plate 8. The positioning block 9 has a cylindrical structure and is used to realize the rapid positioning of the antenna body 4.

[0039] The bottom of the antenna body 4 is provided with a groove that is compatible with the electromagnetic plate 8 and the positioning block 9. The inner wall of the groove is provided with anti-slip texture, and the electromagnetic plate 8 and the positioning block 9 are engaged with the groove. Combined with the adsorption force of the electromagnetic plate 8, the antenna body 4 can be effectively prevented from shifting or falling off during dynamic calibration.

[0040] Working principle: During use, the antenna body 4 is used to receive or transmit beacon signals in a specific frequency band. The triaxial accelerometer 5 can accurately measure the acceleration changes of the antenna body 4 during the calibration process, including the acceleration in the horizontal and vertical directions, providing important data support for analyzing the dynamic performance of the antenna. The gyroscope 6 can monitor the angular velocity and attitude changes of the antenna body 4 in real time, accurately capturing the rotation and tilt of the antenna during dynamic adjustment. The magnetometer 7 is used to measure the magnetic field strength and direction of the surrounding environment, assisting in determining the spatial orientation of the antenna body 4. At the same time, through the snap-fit ​​cooperation between the electromagnetic plate 8, the positioning block 9 and the groove at the bottom of the antenna body 4, the control system activates the electromagnetic plate 8 to generate magnetic force to attract the antenna body 4, thereby realizing the rapid and accurate installation and positioning of the antenna body 4, ensuring the positional accuracy of the antenna body 4 during the calibration process, and ultimately improving the accuracy and repeatability of the calibration.
