Solution Overview

Problem

The installation of cellular base station components often requires multiple site visits and extensive time due to the need for a concrete pad to cure, which is inefficient and impractical, especially for 5G NR base stations that require closer spacing and faster deployment.

Innovation Solution

A cellular base station ground component mounting system that uses a mounting platform with earth anchor holes to securely anchor the component cabinet directly to the ground without a concrete pad, allowing for a single-site visit installation, utilizing a stabilization structure and support structure with earth anchors or ballast for stability.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a concrete pad is used to mount the cellular component cabinet, then the cabinet is stable and securely mounted, but the installation requires multiple site visits and extended time due to curing requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemounting stabilityVSAvoidinstallation time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the cabinet mounting system from the concrete pad requirement by introducing a standalone mounting platform with earth anchor holes that can be directly installed into the ground, eliminating the need for concrete curing while maintaining secure mounting stability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The mounting platform serves as a temporary yet stable mounting solution that replaces the permanent concrete pad structure, enabling rapid installation and removal without long-term concrete infrastructure, particularly suitable for temporary 5G base station deployments

Inventive Principle:
Principle #27Cheap short-living objects (Disposable)

2Reliability

If a concrete pad is used to mount the cellular component cabinet, then the cabinet is securely anchored, but the installation process requires multiple different days and extended site visits

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemounting securityVSAvoidinstallation efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The mounting platform is designed with pre-formed earth anchor holes and stabilization structures that enable direct ground anchoring without requiring preliminary concrete pouring and curing, allowing installers to complete the mounting process in a single site visit

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The mounting platform provides a temporary but secure mounting solution that eliminates the need for permanent concrete infrastructure, significantly improving installation efficiency for temporary 5G base station deployments while maintaining adequate mounting security

Inventive Principle:
Principle #27Cheap short-living objects (Disposable)

3Stability of the object's composition

If traditional concrete pad mounting is used, then the cabinet is stable, but the deployment process is slow and impractical for 5G NR base stations requiring closer spacing

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecabinet stabilityVSAvoiddeployment speed
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSSpeed

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the cabinet mounting system from the concrete pad dependency by introducing a self-contained mounting platform with earth anchor integration, enabling rapid deployment at closely spaced 5G NR locations while maintaining cabinet stability through direct ground anchoring

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The mounting platform incorporates pre-designed stabilization structures and earth anchor holes that enable immediate ground anchoring without waiting for concrete curing, dramatically increasing deployment speed for dense 5G NR base station networks

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
