Installation device for communication equipment

[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0002] This application claims priority to Chinese patent application No. 202311148418.2 filed on September 6, 2023, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. Technical Field

[0003] The present disclosure relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to an installation device for communication equipment. Background Art

[0004] With the rapid development of communication technology in the information age, industrial communication devices (ICDs) are being deployed on a large scale, with 5G antennas being particularly prominent. Compared to 4G antennas, 5G antenna signals have higher frequencies, shorter wavelengths, and greater directionality. Therefore, to improve network capacity in different areas, it is sometimes necessary to refract signals to expand coverage and bypass obstacles. Reconfigurable intelligent reflecting surfaces (IRS) devices can accomplish this.

[0005] In order to meet the requirements of keeping the communication equipment as close to the wall as possible after installation and ensuring that the cables on the back can be maintained, most related technologies use a telescopic structure solution to facilitate adjustment of the distance between the communication equipment and the wall.

[0006] Most of the existing telescopic brackets mainly adopt the form of a planar multi-link structure with a serial rotation structure. The structural stiffness is relatively low and they are mostly used for indoor equipment such as TVs. They do not consider maintaining the angle and posture of the corresponding equipment. They mainly achieve hovering at a certain position in the form of damping. They have no wind resistance and cannot be used for outdoor installation.

Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the said features. In the description of the present disclosure, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0022] In the description of this disclosure, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "installed," "connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they can refer to mechanical connections, electrical connections, or mutual communication; they can refer to direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; they can refer to internal communication between two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this disclosure based on specific circumstances.

[0023] Throughout this specification, reference to terms such as "one embodiment," "certain embodiments," "illustrative embodiments," "examples," "specific examples," or "some examples" means that a specific feature, structure, material, or characteristic described in conjunction with an embodiment or example is included in at least one embodiment or example of the present disclosure. In this specification, illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in any one or more embodiments or examples.

[0024] The present disclosure provides a communication device mounting device 10. The communication device mounting device 10 is used to mount the communication device on a support 20. It should be noted that the communication device may be an antenna or other device capable of communication. The support 20 may be a wall or other structure capable of supporting the communication device, and is not specifically limited herein.

[0025] Figure 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a mounting device 10 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to Figure 1 , mounting device 10 includes a first mounting member 100, a second mounting member 200, a connecting assembly 300, and a self-locking assembly 400. The first mounting member 100 and the second mounting member 200 are spaced apart. The first mounting member 100 is mounted on a support member 20, and the second mounting member 200 is used to mount a communication device.

[0026] Optionally, the first mounting member 100 is fixedly disposed on the support member 20, and the two can be connected by a fixing member such as a bolt. That is, the first mounting member 100 and the support member 20 have the same motion state.

[0027] Optionally, the second mounting member 200 is fixedly mounted on the communication device, and the two can be connected by a bolt or other fastener. In other words, the second mounting member 200 and the communication device have the same motion state. Therefore, the position of the communication device relative to the support member can be adjusted by adjusting the position of the second mounting member 200 relative to the first mounting member 100.

[0028] The connecting assembly 300 is disposed between the first mounting member 100 and the second mounting member 200. Upon application of force, the connecting assembly 300 is configured to move, thereby driving the second mounting member 200 to a predetermined position relative to the first mounting member 100. A self-locking assembly 400 is disposed on the connecting assembly 300. The self-locking assembly 400 is configured to restrict movement of the connecting assembly 300 after the second mounting member 200 has moved to the predetermined position.

[0029] The preset position can be that the plane where the second mounting member 200 is located is parallel to the plane where the first mounting member 100 is located, or the plane where the second mounting member 200 is located is not parallel to the plane where the first mounting member 100 is located. In other words, the preset position can be any posture of the second mounting member 200 relative to the first mounting member 100.

[0030] It should be noted that the movement of the connecting assembly 300 after being subjected to force can be any form of movement, as long as it changes position. Naturally, the second mounting member 200 can also move parallel to or rotate accordingly. Since the second mounting member 200 moves relative to the first mounting member 100, it can be understood that the second mounting member 200 can drive the communication device to move parallel to or rotate relative to the first mounting member 100. In other words, this embodiment can realize the functions of extending and retracting the second mounting member 200 and adjusting the angle, achieving optimal results in equipment installation, maintenance, and signal transmission.

[0031] The installation device 10 of the communication equipment of this embodiment is provided with a self-locking component 400 on the connecting component 300. The self-locking component 400 can limit the movement of the connecting component 300 after the second mounting component 200 moves to a preset position, so as to realize the limitation of the second mounting component 200 after extension or angle adjustment, thereby stably maintaining the posture of the communication equipment.

[0032] FIG3 is a schematic structural diagram of the self-locking assembly 400 of the mounting device 10 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to FIG3 , the self-locking assembly 400 includes a first portion 410 and a second portion 420. Both the first portion 410 and the second portion 420 are disposed on the connecting assembly 300. A circular arc groove 421 is disposed on the second portion 420.

[0033] The self-locking assembly 400 has a self-locking state in which the first portion 410 is locked to the second portion 420 and a loose state in which the first portion 410 and the second portion 420 can move relative to each other.

[0034] The first part 410 includes a main body connected to the connecting assembly 300 and a limit block 411 provided on the main body. The main body passes through the arc groove 421 and extends out of the arc groove 421. The part of the main body extending out of the arc groove 421 is provided with the limit block 411.

[0035] It should be noted that the arc of the arc groove 421 is the movement path of the main body, so as to prevent the first part 410 and the second part 420 from getting stuck.

[0036] In some embodiments, the main body of the first part 410 of the self-locking assembly 400 can be a bolt or a screw, which is highly versatile. The limit block 411 of the first part 410 can be a nut, which can limit the movement of the connecting assembly 300 by tightening the screw.

[0037] 1 , the connecting assembly 300 includes a first connecting arm 310 and a second connecting arm 320. The first connecting arm 310 has its ends connected to the first mounting member 100 and the second mounting member 200, respectively. The second connecting arm 320 has its ends connected to the first mounting member 100 and the second mounting member 200, respectively.

[0038] It will be appreciated that the first connecting arm 310 is configured to move upon application of force to drive the second mounting member 200 to a preset position relative to the first mounting member 100. The second connecting arm 320 is configured to move upon application of force to drive the second mounting member 200 to a preset position relative to the first mounting member 100. In this embodiment, the relative position between the second mounting member 200 and the first mounting member 100 can be changed through the movement of the first connecting arm 310 and the second connecting arm 320.

[0039] Referring to Figure 1, the first connecting arm 310 and the second connecting arm 320 constitute a spatial parallel mechanism. Compared with the planar linkage mechanism adopted in the bracket in the related art, the spatial parallel mechanism in this embodiment is more flexible and stable. It should be noted that a mechanism in which the components do not all move in planes parallel to each other is called a spatial mechanism. That is, the first connecting arm 310 and the second connecting arm 320 in this embodiment do not all move in planes parallel to each other. For example, when the circumferential edge of the first mounting member 100 is roughly a quadrilateral, the first connecting arm 310 and the second connecting arm 320 are located on two adjacent sides of the quadrilateral. Specifically, the first connecting arm 310 is located on the upper side of the first mounting member 100, and the second connecting arm 320 is located on the left side of the first mounting member. Referring to Figure 1 , the first connecting arm 310 is located on the upper side of the first mounting member 100 and can move within the xoy plane. That is, the first connecting arm 310 can move in the x and y directions, but not in the z direction; the first connecting arm 310 can rotate around the z direction, but not in the y or x directions. The second connecting arm 320 is located on the left side of the first mounting member 100 and can move within the xoz plane. That is, the second connecting arm 320 can move in the x and z directions, but not in the y direction; the first connecting arm 310 can rotate around the y direction, but not in the z or x directions. Furthermore, the plane (xoy) in which the first connecting arm 310 moves is perpendicular to the plane (xoz) in which the second connecting arm 320 moves.

[0040] Fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of the installation device 10 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to Fig. 2 , the first connecting arm 310 includes a first connecting member 311, a second connecting member 312, and a third connecting member 313 connected in sequence.

[0041] The first connecting member 311 is rotatably connected to the first mounting member 100, the third connecting member 313 is rotatably connected to the second mounting member 200, and the second connecting member 312 is rotatably connected to the first connecting member 311 and the third connecting member 313. The third connecting member 313 is rotatably connected to the second mounting member 200.

[0042] 2 , the second connecting arm 320 includes a fourth connecting member 321 , a fifth connecting member 322 , and a sixth connecting member 323 that are sequentially connected.

[0043] The fourth connecting member 321 is rotatably connected to the first mounting member 100 , the sixth connecting member 323 is rotatably connected to the second mounting member 200 , and the fifth connecting member 322 is rotatably connected to the fourth connecting member 321 and the sixth connecting member 323 . The sixth connecting member 323 is rotatably connected to the second mounting member 200 .

[0044] The first connecting member 311 , the second connecting member 312 , the third connecting member 313 , the fourth connecting member 321 , the fifth connecting member 322 and the sixth connecting member 323 are used together to drive the second mounting member 200 to move to a preset position relative to the first mounting member 100 .

[0045] The rotation axis of the connection between the first connecting member 311 and the first mounting member 100 , the rotation axis of the connection between the first connecting member 311 and the second connecting member 312 , and the rotation axis of the connection between the second connecting member 312 and the third connecting member 313 are parallel to each other.

[0046] The rotation axis at the connection between the first connecting member 311 and the first mounting member 100 and the rotation axis at the connection between the third connecting member 313 and the second mounting member 200 form a first preset angle. It should be noted that 0° < the first preset angle ≤ 90°. In particular, the rotation axis at the connection between the first connecting member 311 and the first mounting member 100 and the rotation axis at the connection between the third connecting member 313 and the second mounting member 200 are perpendicular to each other, i.e., the first preset angle is 90°. For details, see Figures 1 and 2.

[0047] In this embodiment, the first connecting arm 310 may further include a first connecting shaft 510, a second connecting shaft 520, a third connecting shaft 530, and a fourth connecting shaft 540. The first connecting member 311 is rotatably connected to the first mounting member 100 via the first connecting shaft 510. The first connecting member 311 is rotatably connected to the second connecting member 312 via the second connecting shaft 520. The second connecting member 312 is rotatably connected to the third connecting member 313 via the third connecting shaft 530. The third connecting member 313 is rotatably connected to the second mounting member 200 via the fourth connecting shaft 540.

[0048] The rotation axis of the fourth connecting member 321 connected to the first mounting member 100 , the rotation axis of the fourth connecting member 321 connected to the fifth connecting member 322 , and the rotation axis of the fifth connecting member 322 connected to the sixth connecting member 323 are parallel to each other.

[0049] The rotation axis at the connection between the fourth connecting member 321 and the first mounting member 100 and the rotation axis at the connection between the sixth connecting member 323 and the second mounting member 200 form a second preset angle. It should be noted that 0° < the second preset angle ≤ 90°. In particular, the rotation axis at the connection between the fourth connecting member 321 and the first mounting member 100 and the rotation axis at the connection between the sixth connecting member 323 and the second mounting member 200 are perpendicular to each other, i.e., the second preset angle is 90°. For details, see Figures 1 and 2.

[0050] The second connecting arm 320 may further include a fifth connecting shaft 550, a sixth connecting shaft 560, a seventh connecting shaft 570, and an eighth connecting shaft 580. The fourth connecting member 321 is rotatably connected to the first mounting member 100 via the fifth connecting shaft 550. The fourth connecting member 321 is rotatably connected to the fifth connecting member 322 via the sixth connecting shaft 560. The fifth connecting member 322 is rotatably connected to the sixth connecting member 323 via the seventh connecting shaft 570. The sixth connecting member 323 is rotatably connected to the second mounting member 200 via the eighth connecting shaft 580.

[0051] Specifically, when the second mounting member 200 moves relative to the first mounting member 100 until the connection assembly 300 is at a singular point, the rotation axes of the first connecting member 311 and the first mounting member 100, the first connecting member 311 and the second connecting member 312, the second connecting member 312 and the third connecting member 313, and the sixth connecting member 323 and the second mounting member 200 are parallel to one another. The rotation axes of the fourth connecting member 321 and the first mounting member 100, the fourth connecting member 321 and the fifth connecting member 322, the fifth connecting member 322 and the sixth connecting member 323, and the third connecting member 313 and the second mounting member 200 are parallel to one another. When the connection assembly 300 includes the aforementioned six connecting members, and the rotation axes of the six connecting members are in the aforementioned parallel relationship (e.g., FIG1 ), the second mounting member 200 can selectively move along the x-axis, rotate about the y-axis, or rotate about the z-axis relative to the first mounting member 100. When the positional relationship of the rotation axes of the aforementioned six connecting members does not conform to the aforementioned parallel relationship (i.e., the aforementioned parallel relationship of the rotation axes is not established, e.g., FIG6 to FIG9 ), the second mounting member 200 can selectively move along the x-axis relative to the first mounting member 100.

[0052] In some embodiments, the structures of the first connecting arm 310 and the second connecting arm 320 may be the same or different.

[0053] Example 1 (Self-locking assembly 400 is provided on the first connecting arm 310)

[0054] 3 , the self-locking assembly 400 includes a first portion 410 and a second portion 420. The self-locking assembly 400 has a self-locking state in which the first portion 410 is locked to the second portion 420 and a loose state in which the first portion 410 and the second portion 420 are relatively movable.

[0055] In the first embodiment, the first portion 410 is disposed on the first connecting member 311, and the second portion 420 is disposed on the second connecting member 312. The self-locking assembly 400 is used to limit the relative rotation of the first connecting member 311 and the second connecting member 312. Specifically, the main body of the first portion 410 of the self-locking assembly 400 can be a screw, and the limit block 411 of the first portion 410 can be a nut. The nut can limit the relative rotation of the first connecting member 311 and the second connecting member 312 by tightening the screw.

[0056] In the second embodiment, the first portion 410 is disposed on the second connecting member 312, and the second portion 420 is disposed on the third connecting member 313. The self-locking assembly 400 is used to limit the relative rotation of the second connecting member 312 and the third connecting member 313. Specifically, the main body of the first portion 410 of the self-locking assembly 400 can be a screw, and the limit block 411 of the first portion 410 can be a nut. The nut can limit the relative rotation of the second connecting member 312 and the third connecting member 313 by tightening the screw.

[0057] In a third embodiment, the mounting device 10 may include two self-locking assemblies 400. The first portion 410 of one of the self-locking assemblies 400 is disposed on the first connecting member 311, and the second portion 420 is disposed on the second connecting member 312. In other words, one of the self-locking assemblies 400 is configured to limit relative rotation between the first connecting member 311 and the second connecting member 312. Furthermore, the first portion 410 of the other self-locking assemblies 400 is disposed on the second connecting member 312, and the second portion 420 is disposed on the third connecting member 313. In other words, the other self-locking assemblies 400 are configured to limit relative rotation between the second connecting member 312 and the third connecting member 313, thereby improving the stability of the self-locking mechanism.

[0058] This embodiment locks the relative position of the second mounting member 200 to the first mounting member 100 via angle locking points on two connectors (i.e., the first mounting member 100 and the first mounting member 311, or the first mounting member 311 and the second mounting member 312, or the second mounting member 312 and the third mounting member 313, or the third mounting member 313 and the second mounting member 200), making installation easy. Compared to the first mounting member 100, the second mounting member 200 offers forward and backward translation and azimuth adjustment capabilities, ensuring ample clearance for accessing the back of the antenna device (the antenna device is located on the side of the second mounting member 200 facing away from the first mounting member 100, with the back of the antenna device defined as the space between the second mounting member 200 and the first mounting member 100). When the second mounting member 200 is extended toward the first mounting member 100, it can be nested within the first mounting member, resulting in a flat installation that saves space. Compared with the first mounting member 100 , the second mounting member 200 of this embodiment has the functions of adjusting and fixing the pitch angle, which can optimize the coverage of the antenna device and has stronger environmental adaptability.

[0059] Example 2 (self-locking assembly 400 is provided on the second connecting arm 320)

[0060] The self-locking assembly 400 includes a first portion 410 and a second portion 420. The self-locking assembly 400 has a self-locking state in which the first portion 410 is locked to the second portion 420 and a loose state in which the first portion 410 and the second portion 420 can move relative to each other.

[0061] In the first embodiment, the first portion 410 is disposed on the fourth connecting member 321, and the second portion 420 is disposed on the fifth connecting member 322. The self-locking assembly 400 is used to limit the relative rotation of the fourth connecting member 321 and the fifth connecting member 322. Specifically, the main body of the first portion 410 of the self-locking assembly 400 can be a screw, and the limit block 411 of the first portion 410 can be a nut. The nut can limit the relative rotation of the fourth connecting member 321 and the fifth connecting member 322 by tightening the screw.

[0062] In the second embodiment, the first portion 410 is provided on the fifth connecting member 322, and the second portion 420 is provided on the sixth connecting member 323. The self-locking assembly 400 is used to limit the relative rotation of the fifth connecting member 322 and the sixth connecting member 323. Specifically, the main body of the first portion 410 of the self-locking assembly 400 can be a screw, and the limit block 411 of the first portion 410 can be a nut. The nut can limit the relative rotation of the fifth connecting member 322 and the sixth connecting member 323 by tightening the screw.

[0063] In a third embodiment, the mounting device 10 may include two self-locking assemblies 400. The first portion 410 of one of the self-locking assemblies 400 is disposed on the fourth connecting member 321, and the second portion 420 is disposed on the fifth connecting member 322. In other words, one of the self-locking assemblies 400 is configured to limit relative rotation between the fourth connecting member 321 and the fifth connecting member 322. Furthermore, the first portion 410 of the other self-locking assemblies 400 is disposed on the fifth connecting member 322, and the second portion 420 is disposed on the sixth connecting member 323. In other words, the other self-locking assemblies 400 are configured to limit relative rotation between the fifth connecting member 322 and the sixth connecting member 323, thereby improving the stability of the self-locking mechanism.

[0064] This embodiment locks the relative position of the second mounting member 200 to the first mounting member 100 via angle locking points on two connectors (i.e., the fourth connector 321 and the first mounting member 100, or the fourth connector 321 and the fifth connector 322, or the fifth connector 322 and the sixth connector 323, or the sixth connector 323 and the second mounting member 200), making installation easy. Compared to the first mounting member 100, the second mounting member 200 offers forward and backward translation and azimuth adjustment capabilities, ensuring ample clearance for accessing the back of the antenna device (the antenna device is located on the side of the second mounting member 200 facing away from the first mounting member 100, with the back of the antenna device defined as the space between the second mounting member 200 and the first mounting member 100). When the second mounting member 200 is extended toward the first mounting member 100, it can be nested within the first mounting member 100, resulting in a flat installation that saves space. Compared with the first mounting member 100 , the second mounting member 200 of this embodiment has the functions of adjusting and fixing the pitch angle, which can optimize the coverage of the antenna device and has stronger environmental adaptability.

[0065] Optionally, the self-locking assembly 400 may be provided on the first connecting arm 310 , or the self-locking assembly 400 may be provided on the second connecting arm 320 , or the self-locking assembly 400 may be provided on both the first connecting arm 310 and the second connecting arm 320 .

[0066] In some embodiments, referring to FIG2 , a connecting assembly 300 includes a first connecting arm 310 and a second connecting arm 320.
