Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a mounting apparatus for antenna devices on rooftops, and more particularly to an antenna device mounting apparatus for rooftops that satisfies installation height regulations, can be easily installed without changing the exterior appearance of a building, can install cables concealed, can easily adjust the direction of the antenna device, and does not require many workers for installation work. [Background technology]

[0002] 2. Description of the Related Art A wireless communication antenna is generally installed in an open, high location in order to facilitate smooth transmission and reception with a wireless communication device located at a long distance.

[0003] For this reason, antennas are installed on utility poles, steel towers, building rooftops, etc., and particularly in urban areas, antennas are often installed on building rooftops.

[0004] In this case, in order to install the antenna on the roof of a building, a separate support pole for supporting the antenna in an upright position is installed on the roof of the building, and the antenna is fixed and installed on the support pole.

[0005] In this case, the support poles are often fixed to the bottom of the building roof using anchors, etc. In this case, however, holes must be drilled into the bottom of the building roof to fix the support poles, which inevitably causes damage to the building.

[0006] Meanwhile, when installing antenna equipment on the roof of a building, a heavy object must first be placed on the roof, and then a support pole for supporting the antenna upright must be attached to it, and the support pole must be installed so that it is supported by the heavy object.

[0007] However, in this case, not only is it not easy to move heavy objects to the roof of a building, but if the heavy objects are not heavy enough, there is a risk of a safety accident occurring as the support poles may be knocked over by strong winds, and it may not be easy to re-erect the support poles.

[0008] Furthermore, when the antenna device is installed on the roof of a building, there is an additional problem that it must comply with various legal regulations of the country in which it is installed. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENT

[0036] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, a rooftop antenna device installation device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0037] In assigning reference numerals to components in each drawing, it should be noted that the same components are assigned the same numerals as much as possible even if they are displayed in different drawings. In addition, in describing the embodiments of the present invention, if a detailed description of related known configurations or functions is deemed to hinder understanding of the embodiments of the present invention, the detailed description will be omitted.

[0038] In describing components of the embodiments of the present invention, terms such as 1, 2, A, B, (a), (b) and the like may be used. Such terms are merely used to distinguish the components from other components, and do not limit the essence, order, or procedure of the components. In addition, unless otherwise defined, all terms used herein, including technical and scientific terms, have the same meaning as commonly understood by a person of ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention belongs. Terms that are defined in commonly used dictionaries should be interpreted as having the same meaning as they have in the context of the related art, and should not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense unless expressly defined in this application.

[0039] 1a and 1b are front and rear perspective views showing an antenna equipment installation state using a rooftop antenna equipment installation device according to one embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a side view of FIG. 1a, FIG. 3 is a rear view of FIG. 1a, FIG. 4 is a front view of FIG. 1a, and FIGS. 5a to 5c are exploded views of FIG. 1b, including a rear view and exploded perspective views from one side and the other side.

[0040] As shown in Figures 1a to 5c, a rooftop antenna equipment installation device according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a horizontal mounting panel 22 to which the lower end surface of antenna equipment A is coupled, and antenna installation units 10 and 20 to which the horizontal mounting panel 22 is coupled at the top and which have an empty cable installation space (not shown) therein.

[0041] Here, the antenna device A may further include a concealment cover A-2 provided to cover the rear surface of the antenna device A. The cable A-3 installed in the cable installation space of the antenna installation units 10 and 20 may be installed to be concealed inside the concealment cover A-2 after passing through the horizontal mounting panel 22 in the vertical direction.

[0042] More specifically, as shown in Figures 1 to 5b, the horizontal mounting panel 22 serves to ensure that the cable A-3, which is installed in a concealed manner in the empty space (cable installation space) inside the mounting part 21 arranged vertically on the parapet 1 of the rooftop (building roof), is not exposed to the outside and is immediately connected to the antenna device A.

[0043] For this purpose, the horizontal mounting panel 22 may be provided with a cable fixing device 22C so that the cable A-3 is fixed firmly without moving, and may be provided in the form of a fixing nut for fixing the cable A-3 which is passed through the top and bottom surfaces of the horizontal mounting panel 22.

[0044] The cable A-3 that passes through the horizontal mounting panel 22 from bottom to top may be arranged to extend inside a concealing cover A-2 that is provided to surround all of the numerous heat sink pins A-1a that are integrally formed on the rear portion of the main body A-1 of the antenna equipment A.

[0045] For this reason, it is preferable to understand that the concealment cover A-2 is not something that must be provided on the antenna device A, but rather a configuration that is selectively adopted only in one embodiment of the present invention for concealing the installation of the cable A-3 exposed to the outside when the antenna device A is installed in an open place such as a rooftop, as in the present invention.

[0046] The concealing cover A-2 may be formed with a number of through holes A-2h to facilitate heat transfer between the heat sink pins A-1a and the outside air when heat is dissipated through the heat sink pins A-1a.

[0047] Conventionally, although not shown in the drawings, a connecting terminal for cable installation is formed on the lower end surface of the main body of the antenna equipment. However, in the embodiment of the rooftop antenna equipment installation device according to the present invention, the lower end surface of the main body A-1 is installed so as to directly contact the upper surface of the horizontal mounting panel 22. Therefore, in order to prevent interference by the connecting terminal A-4 when adjusting the directionality of the antenna equipment A through the steering rotation operation described below, the connecting terminal A-4 is redesigned to be located in the middle part of the back surface of the main body A-1 of the antenna equipment A.

[0048] In this case, as shown in Figures 5a to 5c, the concealment cover A-2 serves to block the external exposure of the cable A-3 exposed on the rear surface of the main body A-1 of the antenna device A.

[0049] Here, the concealment cover A-2 is provided to cover the entire rear portion of the main body A-1 of the antenna device A, and may be manufactured in a pair, one for the left and one for the right, and then coupled to cover the left and right sides of the rear portion of the main body A-1, respectively.

[0050] In addition, it is preferable that the concealing cover A-2 is coupled to the rear part of the main body A-1 of the antenna device A after the cable A-3 is connected to the rear part of the main body A-1 via the connecting terminal A-4.

[0051] Meanwhile, the antenna installation parts 10 and 20 are configured to be coupled to the parapet 1 of the rooftop (building rooftop) as shown in Figures 1a to 5c, and may be provided in the support part 10 and the mounting part 20 described below.

[0052] That is, the antenna installation units 10, 20 may include a support unit 10 that is installed on the rooftop balustrade 1 and positioned on the inner bottom surface of the rooftop balustrade 1, with a portion extending upward so that it is parallel to the balustrade 1, and a mounting unit 20 that is connected to the upper portion of the support unit 10 and seated so as to surround the upper end of the balustrade 1, with the antenna equipment A mounted on its upper end.

[0053] Hereinafter, a detailed description will be given of an antenna device installation apparatus for a rooftop according to an embodiment of the present invention, in which antenna installation units 10 and 20 are provided to improve convenience of installation on a rooftop (atop a building).

[0054] FIG. 6 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of portion "I" in FIG. 2 (the portion surrounded by a dashed line), FIGS. 7a and 7b are exploded perspective views showing the portion where the cable is installed in a concealed manner, FIG. 8 is a cutaway view of a concealment cover installed on the rear part of the antenna equipment, showing the portion where the cable is installed in a concealed manner, and FIG. 9 is a side cross-sectional view of FIG. 8.

[0055] In the case where the country in which the antenna device A is installed is the United States, particularly when the diagonal length of the antenna device A installed on the parapet 1 of the rooftop is 3 ft or less when the antenna device A is installed on the rooftop, the product can be installed without a separate approval, which has the advantage of making it easy to apply the antenna device installation device for rooftops according to one embodiment of the present invention without adding separate safety regulations.

[0056] For this reason, as shown in FIG. 1a, the height L from the top of the rooftop parapet 1 to the top of the antenna device A is determined by the vertical length of the antenna device A, which is 3 feet or less.

[0057] On the other hand, as shown in Figures 1a to 9, the mounting part 20 may include a mounting body 21 having a horizontal mounting panel 22 whose lower end is fixed to the upper end of the support beam 13 of the support part 10 and whose upper end is bolted to the lower surface of the antenna device A, and a clamping panel 23 bent and extended from the rear part of the mounting body 21 so as to be seated on the upper end of the parapet 1.

[0058] The mounting body 21 may be a part of the support beam 13, or may be manufactured separately and exist independently from the support beam 13, or may be attached to the support beam 13 after being manufactured separately.

[0059] A control box C may be coupled to the front of the mounting body 21. The control box C is connected to an external electric wire 14C, which will be described later, and can control the operation of the antenna device A through a cable A-3 connected to the antenna device A. The entire vertical length of the support beam 13 including the mounting body 21 is within about 1m, which is advantageous in that a user can check the status of the antenna device A through the control box C at any time.

[0060] Here, among the components of the mounting part 20, the inside of the mounting body 21 is provided in an open form so as to provide a cable installation space as described above, and the cable A-3 extending from the control box C may extend through the cable installation space to the bottom of the horizontal mounting panel 22, and then pass through the horizontal mounting panel 22 without being exposed to the outside, and extend to the antenna device A side.

[0061] At least one connecting terminal A-4 for connecting cable A-3 is provided on the rear part of antenna device A, and said connecting terminal A-4 can be concealed from the outside by the above-mentioned concealing cover A-2. In this way, cable A-3 is installed at least from control box C to antenna device A without being exposed to the outside, which creates the advantage of preventing deterioration of the aesthetic appearance of the external shape.

[0062] Meanwhile, as shown in Figures 5a to 6, the horizontal mounting panel 22 may have a predetermined through hole 22D formed therein so that the cable A-3 can pass through from the bottom and be connected to the connecting terminal A-4 of the antenna device A.

[0063] For reference, the antenna device A is arranged so that its front portion, on which an antenna element (not shown) is arranged to enable beamforming, faces the outside of the rooftop balustrade 1, and its rear portion may include a main body A-1 integrally formed with a number of heat sink pins (not shown in the drawing), and a concealing cover A-2 arranged to surround the entire rear portion of the main body A-1.

[0064] As described above, the main body A-1 may be arranged so that its front portion on which the antenna elements are arranged faces the outside of the rooftop balustrade 1, and its rear portion on which a number of heat sink pins are provided faces the inside of the rooftop balustrade 1.

[0065] Here, the concealing cover A-2 prevents rooftop users from directly touching the numerous heat sink pins provided on the rear of the main body A-1 for the purpose of dissipating heat from the system, and also enables the concealed installation of the cable A-3. This is because when the antenna device A system is in operation, extremely high system operating heat is generated, and the numerous heat sink pins provided to dissipate this heat are at such a high temperature that they can cause burns to anyone who comes into contact with them.

[0066] For this purpose, the concealing cover A-2 may be provided with an installation hole (not shown) through which the cable A-3 passes, and may also be formed with a number of heat dissipation holes A-2h so that the heat dissipated from the multiple heat sink pins can be released to the outside.

[0067] Here, the clamping panel 23 may include a horizontal mounting panel 24 extending horizontally from the mounting body 21 to the outside of the balustrade 1 and an outer locking panel 25 bent downward from the outer end of the horizontal mounting panel 24 to extend and cover the outer wall of the balustrade 1.

[0068] Meanwhile, the mounting part 20 may further include a vibration reducing part 27 arranged at a predetermined distance parallel to the inner wall of the balustrade 1 to reduce vibration transmitted from the balustrade 1. A pair of the vibration reducing parts 27 may be provided on the left and right sides of the mounting part 20, spaced apart in the vertical direction.

[0069] Here, as shown in Figure 6, the vibration reduction part 27 may include a number of vibration reduction panels 31 formed integrally with the support part 10 so as to extend horizontally in the left and right directions, a number of clamping bolts 28 which penetrate and fasten the plurality of vibration reduction panels 31 in the front-to-back direction, a leaf spring part 30 which is provided on one side end of each of the plurality of clamping bolts 28 adjacent to the inner side of the balustrade 1 and is elastically supported on the inner side of the balustrade 1, and clamping nuts 29 which are assembled to the other side ends of each of the plurality of clamping bolts 28 which penetrate the vibration reduction panels 31 and are exposed.

[0070] As shown in FIG. 6, a male thread (not shown) is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the clamping bolt 28, and when the clamping bolt 28 is penetrated and fastened to the vibration reduction panel 31, the clamping bolt 28 is fastened by a screw fastening method, and the leaf spring part 30 may also be fastened by a screw fastening part (not shown in the drawing) having a female thread at the tip of the clamping bolt 28 by a screw fastening method.

[0071] When the clamping nut 29 is tightened, the vibration reduction portion 27 serves to ensure that the outer retaining panel 25 and the leaf spring portion 30 of the clamping panel 23 are firmly and tightly clamped to the inner and outer walls of the balustrade 1.

[0072] Here, the vibration reduction section 27 is provided so that the leaf spring section 30 supported by the inner wall of the balustrade 1 is elastically supported, and thus can simultaneously serve to reduce external vibrations such as the movement or swaying of the antenna equipment A due to wind.

[0073] In addition, the elastic supporting force of the leaf spring portion 30 against the inner surface (inner wall) of the balustrade 1 may be adjusted by the tightening direction of the clamping nut 29.

[0074] According to one embodiment of the antenna equipment installation device of the present invention, installation is possible without changing the shape of the rooftop, simply by adjusting the height of the mounting part 20 relative to the support part 10 and by simply clamping and bolting the mounting part 20 to the balustrade 1 of the rooftop, thereby improving installation convenience and creating the effect of being able to meet various regulations of the installation country.

[0075] Meanwhile, the support part 10 may include a number of weight blocks 11 arranged in the left-right direction on the inner bottom surface 2 of the rooftop parapet 1, a base beam 12 connected to the upper surfaces of the number of weight blocks 11, and a support beam 13 extending vertically from the left-right middle portion (middle) of the base beam 12 and connected to the mounting part 20.

[0076] For example, if the antenna device A weighs 30 kg, the multiple weight blocks 11 may be 10 or more 30 kg blocks so that the antenna device A is not moved and is firmly supported by 10 times the load on the inner bottom surface 2 of the rooftop. However, this is not necessarily limited to this, and more or less blocks may be provided in consideration of the installation environment such as the amount and speed of wind on the rooftop to be installed.

[0077] More specifically, assuming that antenna equipment A, which has a diagonal length of 3 ft, is subjected to a head-on wind of 67 m / s, the head-on wind of 67 m / s acts with a force of 671 N, and under conditions in which the height of parapet 1 is 1 m and a virtual moment rotation axis is located approximately 0.6 m away from the parapet 1 along the bottom surface, the minimum weight of the weight block 11 required for a rooftop antenna equipment installation device of one embodiment of the present invention to which antenna equipment A is attached is calculated to be at least 265 kg as a reaction force against the rotation moment of 1006 N.m.

[0078] To this end, in the rooftop antenna equipment installation device according to one embodiment of the present invention, the device is divided into 10 pieces, each weighing 30 kg, so that one worker can move it, and these pieces are connected to the bottom of the base beam 12, or are secured to the top of the weight support frame 60, which will be described later.

[0079] On the other hand, the support portion 10 may further include a connecting frame 12B arranged to mediate rigid fixation between the base beam 12 and the weight block 11 and to mediate fixation of a pair of support inclined beams 14 to the inner wall of the parapet 1, as shown in Figures 2 and 3.

[0080] The connecting frame 12B may be bent to have an approximately "L" shaped cross section so that it is positioned between the inner surface of the support inclined beam 14 and the inner wall of the parapet 1, or between the lower surface of the base beam 12 and the upper surfaces of a number of weight blocks 11 arranged on the bottom surface of the roof top.

[0081] Such a joint frame 12B is provided in the form of a panel made of an iron material, and a weight block made of a metal material is connected to the joint frame 12B through a welding connection or a bolting connection, and the weight block may be connected to the back surface of the support tilt beam 14 arranged at an angle through a welding connection or a bolting connection, respectively.

[0082] FIG. 10 is a perspective view showing the rooftop installation process using an installation device for rooftop antenna equipment according to one embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 11a is a perspective view showing an embodiment in which a weight support frame supporting a number of weight blocks is applied in the configuration of FIG. 2, and FIGS. 11b and 11c are perspective views showing a plastic container and a weight tank as other embodiments of the multiple weight blocks in the configuration of FIG. 2.

[0083] With reference to FIG. 10, the process of installing the support part 10 on the balustrade 1 of the rooftop will be briefly described as follows.

[0084] First, as shown in FIG. 10(a), a large number of weight blocks 11 are aligned in a row in the left-right direction on the inner surface of the parapet 1 and the bottom surface 2 of the adjacent rooftop.

[0085] 10(b), a joint frame 12B is placed on the upper surfaces of the multiple weight blocks 11.

[0086] Next, as shown in (c) of Figure 10, the base beam 12 is stacked so that its lower surface is in face-to-face contact with the upper surface of a joining frame 12B which is arranged in face-to-face contact with the upper parts of the multiple heavy blocks 11, and the multiple heavy blocks 11 and the base beam 12 are joined together by sandwiching the joining frame 12B using either a welding method or a bolting method.

[0087] Here, when the support beam 13 and the pair of support tilt beams 14 are integrally formed with the base beam 12, the installation of the pair of support tilt beams 14 can also be completed when the base beam 12 is connected to the joint frame 12B.

[0088] 10(d), a clamping panel 23 is installed on the upper end of the support beam 13 so as to surround the upper end of the balustrade 1, and a vibration damping unit 27, which will be described later, can be installed. Here, the vibration damping unit 27 may be installed only in a pre-assembled state so as to be precisely adjusted after the antenna device A is coupled to the upper part of the horizontal mounting panel 22.

[0089] Meanwhile, the support part 10 may be fixed to the upper end of the support beam 13 at a height that satisfies the regulated height of the antenna device A. The height here can be adjusted by changing the installation position of the mounting part 20 with respect to the support beam 13.

[0090] In addition, the support part 10 may further include a pair of inclined beams 14 that extend and are fixed to the left and right ends of the base beam 12 so as to be inclined toward the upper end of the support beam 13. The pair of inclined beams 14 and the base beam 12 form a kind of triangular composition, so that more stable support can be obtained for the bottom surface 2 of the roof top.

[0091] On the other hand, the multiple weight blocks 11 do not necessarily have to be disposed under the base beam 12 .

[0092] That is, as shown in Fig. 11a, the support unit 10 may further include a weight support frame 60 having a base beam 12 mounted at its rear end to support the entire load and a number of weight blocks 11 mounted at its front end. The weight support frame 60 may include a frame unit 61 made of a roughly rectangular iron frame and a number of levellers 62 provided at a number of locations under the frame unit 61 to adjust the level of the frame unit 61.

[0093] Therefore, after the weight support frame 60 is placed on the bottom surface 2 of the rooftop, the frame part 61 is balanced using a leveller 62, and then the support inclined beam 14 and the mounting part 21 can be stably fixed and installed on the parapet 1 of the rooftop.

[0094] Meanwhile, the installation apparatus for rooftop antenna equipment according to an embodiment of the present invention is not limited to the weight block 11 being made of a metal material.

[0095] That is, since it is sufficient for the weight block 11 to be connected to the base beam 12 or mounted on the weight support frame 60 and to serve as a support in the direction of the bottom surface 2 of the roof top, it may be provided in a plastic container that can be filled with a predetermined fluid, as shown in FIG. 11b (distinguished from the drawing reference symbol "11A").

[0096] In this case, the inside of the weight block 11A made of a plastic container can be filled with a fluid such as water, which has a somewhat high specific gravity, and when a worker moves it to install it on the rooftop, the filled fluid can be emptied, the block can be moved to the work site, and then the fluid can be filled directly on site, providing the advantage of eliminating the need for a large number of workers.

[0097] In addition, as shown in FIG. 11c, the rooftop antenna equipment installation device according to one embodiment of the present invention can be installed by replacing the multiple weight blocks 11, 11A with a single weight tank 11B that can be filled with a predetermined fluid, and it is also possible to install an additional weight tank 11B stacked on top of the multiple weight blocks 11A.

[0098] That is, the weight tank 11B can serve to support the load of the weight support frame 60 in the direction of the inner bottom surface 2 of the balustrade 1 of the rooftop.

[0099] The weight tank 11B is preferably made of a high-strength plastic material and has a fluid container (not shown) that can be filled with a predetermined fluid.

[0100] In addition, a fluid supply hole 11B-1 is formed on the top of the heavy tank 11B, which allows a single worker to transport the relatively light heavy tank 11B to the site and then fill it with fluid using a fluid supply device (e.g., a water pipe) provided at the site, thereby improving work convenience.

[0101] Meanwhile, the base beam 12, the support beam 13, the tilt beam 14 and the mounting part 21 are arranged so that the empty spaces inside are interconnected. In particular, the lower left and right ends of the support tilt beam 14 are provided with wire insertion holes 14h through which external wires 14C such as power cables are inserted and installed. This has the advantage that the external wires 14C connected to the antenna device A can be installed in a concealed manner so that the external exposure is completely blocked.

[0102] FIG. 12 is an exploded perspective view showing the installation process of the antenna device on the horizontal mounting panel, and is an exploded perspective view showing the steering means and tilting means, and FIG. 13 is a cross-sectional view showing the tilting means of the antenna device.

[0103] The rooftop antenna equipment installation device according to one embodiment of the present invention may further include antenna directivity adjustment units 40, 50 for adjusting the directivity of the antenna equipment A coupled to the horizontal mounting panel 22, as shown in Figures 12 and 13.

[0104] Here, the antenna directivity adjustment units 40, 50 may include a tilting means 40 for rotating the front and rear ends of the horizontal mounting panel 22 in the forward / backward direction based on a left-right horizontal axis, thereby tilting and rotating the antenna device A, and a steering means 50 for rotating both the left and right ends of the antenna device A in the left-right direction based on an up-down vertical axis relative to the horizontal mounting panel 22, thereby steering and rotating the antenna device A.

[0105] In particular, the antenna unit A may be coupled to the horizontal mounting panel 22 by a steering means 50 so as to be steerable in the left and right directions.

[0106] Here, the steering means 50 may include at least one guide slot 51 formed penetrating vertically through the horizontal mounting panel 22 to correspond to the steering rotation trajectory of the antenna device A, and at least one guide bolt 52 that is bolted to the lower part of the antenna device A and passes through the at least one guide slot 51 to be bolted to the lower part of the antenna device A.

[0107] The guide bolts 52 are provided in at least four lower positions of the horizontal mounting panel 22 on the antenna device A side through guide slots 51 and are fastened to at least one bolt fastening hole A-22H (see FIG. 7b) provided on the lower surface of the antenna device A. When the antenna device A adjusts its direction by turning the steering wheel left or right, the guide slots 51 are set to a predetermined turning trajectory, enabling stable turning.

[0108] In particular, as shown in FIG. 12, at least one pair of guide bolts 22B, one on the left and one on the right, are pre-installed in antenna device A, and are seated in the installation groove portion 51A side of guide slot 51 into which the heads of guide bolts 52 are inserted to perform steering adjustment in the left-right direction of antenna device A. After that, the remaining pair of guide bolts 52 are passed through guide slot 51 and fastened to the lower end portion of antenna device A to firmly fix it.

[0109] Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 13, the rooftop antenna equipment installation device according to one embodiment of the present invention may further include a tilting means 40 for adjusting the vertical tilting of the antenna equipment A installed on the horizontal mounting panel 22.

[0110] That is, in the rooftop antenna equipment installation device according to one embodiment of the present invention, the tilting means 40 can rotate the front and rear ends of the horizontal mounting panel 22 in the forward and backward directions based on a left-right horizontal axis (not shown in the drawing), thereby tilting and rotating the antenna equipment A.

[0111] As shown in FIG. 13, the tilting means 40 may include a worm wheel gear panel 41 integrally formed on the lower surface of the horizontal mounting panel 22, and a worm gear portion 42 arranged to penetrate the front and rear of the mounting portion 21 so as to be horizontal in the front and rear directions and to mesh with the worm wheel gear panel 41, and having gear teeth formed on its outer circumferential surface.

[0112] Here, a rotation angle adjustment bolt 42B is coupled to the tip of the worm gear portion 42, and a user who adjusts the tilt rotation amount of the antenna device A can precisely adjust the tilt rotation angle of the antenna device A by rotating the rotation angle adjustment bolt 42B in the left and right directions using a predetermined tool. The rotation angle adjustment bolt 42B may be normally shielded by a bolt shielding cap 42C.

[0113] In addition, guide panels 43 are provided on the left and right sides of the worm wheel gear panel 41 so as to come into contact with the inner surface of the mounting portion 21, and tilting shaft protrusions 45 may be provided on the outer sides of each guide panel 43 to be inserted into left and right horizontal shafts (not shown in the drawing) formed on the left and right sides of the mounting portion 21, respectively.

[0114] As described above, after the antenna device A is installed on the upper surface of the horizontal mounting panel 22 with the left-right steering adjustment completed, if tilting in the up-down direction is required, the worker can adjust the tilting angle by rotating the worm gear part 42 protruding from the front end of the mounting part 21 in the left-right direction using a separate tool.

[0115] A tilting angle reference line (not shown in the drawing) may be printed on the outer surface of the mounting part 21 corresponding to the outside of the tilting shaft protrusion 45 exposed on the left and right outer surfaces of the mounting part 21, and a tilting angle display part 44 is printed on the mounting part 21 corresponding to the periphery of the tilting shaft protrusion 45, so that an operator can precisely adjust the degree of tilting in the vertical direction of the antenna device A using the tilting means 40 while visually checking it.

[0116] In this way, according to one embodiment of the antenna equipment installation device of the present invention, installation is possible without changing the shape of the rooftop, simply by adjusting the height of the mounting part 20 relative to the support part 10 and by simply clamping and bolting the mounting part 20 to the balustrade 1 of the rooftop, thereby improving installation convenience and creating the effect of being able to meet various regulations of the installation country.

[0117] Figures 14 and 15 are a front view and a partial cross-sectional view of the configuration of Figure 2 in which the support part is replaced with a general support pole. As shown in Figures 14 and 15, the installation device for rooftop antenna equipment according to one embodiment of the present invention may have a horizontal mounting panel 22 provided on the upper end of a general support pole P.

[0118] In this case, since the steering means 50 can be embodied in the horizontal mounting panel 22, it is possible to adjust the directionality of the antenna device A by rotating the steering wheel to the left or right through the horizontal mounting panel 22. That is, the upper part of the horizontal mounting panel 22 has a guide slot 51 and a guide bolt 52 as a medium, so that the antenna directionality of the antenna device A in the left or right direction can be adjusted.

[0119] On the other hand, as shown in Figures 14 and 15, the cable A-3 may be installed through the internal cable installation space PC, which is the empty space of the support pole P, and the cable A-3 may be concealedly installed on the main body A-1 side of the upper antenna equipment A through the horizontal mounting panel 22.

[0120] Thus, according to one embodiment of the rooftop antenna equipment installation device of the present invention, the installation position of the conventional cable A-3 relative to the main body A-1 of the antenna equipment A, which acted as a factor that deteriorated the aesthetic appearance, is redesigned and mounted on the upper surface of the horizontal mounting panel 22, and the cable A-3 is concealed and installed inside the mounting part 21 and the support pole P, respectively. Furthermore, the cable A-3 extending to the top of the horizontal mounting panel 22 is designed to be completely blocked from exposure to the outside by using the concealing cover A-2 of the antenna equipment A, thereby preventing deterioration of the aesthetic appearance of the exterior.

[0121] An installation device for rooftop antenna equipment according to an embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail above with reference to the attached drawings. However, the embodiment of the present invention is not necessarily limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and it is obvious that various modifications and equivalent implementations are possible by those having ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention pertains. Therefore, it can be said that the true scope of the present invention is determined by the claims that follow. Industrial Applicability
