Solution Overview

Problem

Existing base station antenna adjustment systems require complex and heavy brackets for directional control, leading to installation challenges, increased weight, safety risks, and aesthetic issues due to protrusion from communication poles or walls.

Innovation Solution

A base station design incorporating an integrated antenna assembly with two-way mechanical tilting capabilities, utilizing a combination of antenna assembly combinable members and supporting members to allow for tilting from both the top and bottom, enhancing directional control and reducing the need for external brackets.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a bracket is used to adjust antenna direction, then directional control is achieved, but device complexity and weight increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveantenna directional controlVSAvoidassembly structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent integrates the antenna assembly directly into the base station housing, combining what were previously separate components (antenna and base station) into a single unified structure. This eliminates the need for external adjustment brackets while maintaining directional control capabilities through integrated design elements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The base station housing serves multiple functions: it provides structural support, houses electronic components, and integrates the antenna assembly. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate specialized components like adjustment brackets, simplifying the overall structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Adaptability or versatility

If a bracket is used to adjust antenna direction, then directional control is achieved, but installation time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveantenna directional controlVSAvoidinstallation time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

By integrating the antenna assembly into the base station housing as a pre-assembled unit, the patent eliminates the need for complex on-site bracket assembly. The directional control is built into the integrated structure, allowing for quicker installation without requiring multiple separate components to be assembled during installation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Adaptability or versatility

If a bracket is used to adjust antenna direction, then directional control is achieved, but weight increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveantenna directional controlVSAvoidbase station equipment weight
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSWeight of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The integration of the antenna assembly into the base station housing eliminates the need for separate heavy adjustment brackets. The directional control functionality is achieved through the integrated design, reducing the total weight compared to having separate antenna and bracket components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

4Adaptability or versatility

If a bracket is used to adjust antenna direction, then directional control is achieved, but aesthetic appearance deteriorates due to protrusion

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveantenna directional controlVSAvoidaesthetic appearance
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSShape

Solution Approach 1:

By integrating the antenna assembly into the base station housing, the patent creates a streamlined, unified appearance without external protrusions. The directional control capabilities are maintained through the integrated design, preserving aesthetic appearance while achieving functional requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
