Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional antenna devices require significant space for mounting and adjusting directionality, leading to increased rental fees and inefficiencies in beam forming operations.
Innovation Solution
A clamping apparatus for antennas that allows for mounting devices close to support poles and enables tilting and rotating movements through a pair of moving sticks driven by steering driving units, including motors and gears, to minimize space usage and facilitate directionality adjustments.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If antenna devices are mounted with sufficient spacing for directionality adjustment, then beam forming operation is enabled, but mounting space and rental fees increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by enabling the antenna device to change its orientation and directionality dynamically through tilting and rotating movements. The mounting structure includes movable components that allow the antenna to adjust its beam direction without requiring additional mounting space, thus resolving the contradiction between operational capability and space occupation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent utilizes dimensional change by implementing tilting movement that rotates the antenna along an axis perpendicular to the support pole. This adds a vertical dimension to the mounting arrangement, allowing directionality adjustment without increasing the horizontal mounting footprint, thereby reducing rental fees while maintaining beam forming capability.
2Productivity
If multiple antenna devices are mounted on a single support pole, then space utilization is improved, but mounting complexity and space requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the mounting structure into modular components including separate mounting brackets, positioning mechanisms, and steering units. Each antenna device can be independently mounted and adjusted using these standardized modular components, which simplifies the overall mounting process and reduces complexity despite multiple devices being installed on a single support pole.

AI summary
The present disclosure relates to a clamping apparatus for an antenna, the apparatus particularly comprising a mounting bracket portion which serves as a medium for coupling of an antenna device to a support pole elongated in a longitudinal direction and an antenna steering driving portion which is coupled to the mounting bracket portion and drives a rear surface of the antenna device to be steered and rotated with respect to the longitudinal direction of the support pole, wherein the antenna steering driving portion includes a pair of moving sticks having a front end coupled to the rear surface of the antenna device, wherein the pair of moving sticks are moved by the same distance or different distances with the support pole therebetween so that the rear surface of the antenna device makes a tilting movement or a rotational movement with respect to the longitudinal direction of the support pole, thereby allowing easy control of the directionality of the antenna device.
