Description

[DESCRIPTION]

[Disclosure Title]

CLAMPING APPARATUS FOR ANTENNA

[Technical Field]

[1] The present disclosure relates to a clamping

apparatus for an antenna, and more particularly, to a

clamping apparatus for an antenna, in which an antenna

device can be efficiently disposed in a compact installation

space as well as a direction of the antenna device is easily

adjusted.

[Background Art]

[2] Wireless communication technology, for example,

multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology is

technology that remarkably increases a data transmission

capacity using multiple antennas, and is a spatial

multiplexing technique for transmitting different data

through each transmitting antenna at a transmitter and for

sorting the transmitted data through adequate signal

processing at a receiver.

[3] Therefore, by simultaneously increasing the number of

transmitting antennas and the number of receiving antennas,

a channel capacity is increased, and more data can be

transmitted. For example, if the number of antennas is

increased to ten, a channel capacity of about ten times is

secured using the same frequency band compared to a current single antenna system.

[4] In 4G LTE-Advanced, antennas are used up to eight,

and products in which 64 or 128 antennas are mounted in a

pre-5G step are developed at present. It is expected that

base station eqipment having far more antennas will be used

in 5G, which is referred to as Massive MIMO technology. A

current cell operation is of two dimensions, whereas, if the

Massive MIMO technology is introduced, 3D-Beamforming is

possible, thus being also referred to as full dimension

(FD)-MIMO.

[5] In the Massive MIMO technology, as the number of

antennas (ANTs) increases, the number of transmitters and

the number of filters are increased together. However, due

to lease expenses of an installation space or spatial

limitations, RF elements (antenna/filter/power

amplifier/transceiver, etc.) are actually made small, light,

and inexprensive. Massive MIMO requires a high output for

coverage expansion, and power consumption and a heating

value caused by the high output act as negative factors in

reducing weight and a size.

[6] Especially, when a MIMO antenna, in which modules

implemented by RF elements and digital elements are coupled

in a layered structure, is installed in a restricted space,

the necessity for compact and miniature design of a

plurality of layers constituting the MIMO antenna in order to maximize installation easiness or spatial applicability is rising, and the necessity for free direction adjustment of an antenna device installed on one support pole is strongly requested.

[DISCLOSURE]

[99] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 6, an embodiment of a

clamping apparatus 50 for an antenna according to the

present disclosure includes an arm unit 300 that is

horizontally coupled to a support pole 1 that is fixed to

the ground in a vertical direction, a rotation unit 200 that

is coupled with the arm unit 300 and is coupled to be

rotatable about the arm unit 300 in a left-right direction,

and a tilting unit 100 that is coupled to the rotation unit

200 and is coupled to be tiltable in an up-down direction

while mediating coupling of an antenna device A.

[100] Referring to FIG. 1, the support pole 1 in an

embodiment of the present disclosure is implemented by being

fixed to the ground via multiple support rods 3 and multiple

supporting panels 5 in a vertical direction, and is implemented in such a manner that the arm unit 300 is horizontally coupled with the support pole so as to be perpendicular to the support pole.

[101] However, the support pole 1 is not necessarily

provided to the ground in a vertical direction, and may be

naturally coupled to a vertical wall of a building via the

multiple support rods 3 and the multiple supporting panels

5. In this case, the support pole 1 is provided

horizontally, and the arm unit 300 is perpendicular to the

support pole 1. However, various embodiments in which the

support pole 1 and the arm unit 300 are actually provided

horizontally or vertically can be expected.

[102] Hereinafter, the description is made on the

assumption that, referring to FIG. 1, to enable a direction

and its relevant term to be identical to each other, the

support pole 1 is fixed to the ground of a horizontal state

via the multiple support rods 3 and the multiple supporting

panels 5 in a vertical direction, and the description is

made within the limits of the case in which the arm unit 300

extends in a horizontal direction orthogonal to the support

pole 1. However, it is made clear in advance that an

embodiment of the present disclosure does not necessarily

limit these directions.

[103] The arm unit 300 serves to mediate coupling of the

antenna device A to the support pole 1. It can be understood that, as another meaning, the arm unit 300 serves to mediate coupling of the clamping apparatus 50 for an antenna, to which the antenna device A is coupled, to the support pole 1.

[104] The antenna device A coupled by the clamping

apparatus 50 for an antenna according to an embodiment of

the present disclosure may be the antenna device A to which

the Massive MIMO technology or the FD-MIMO technology in

which the 3D-Beamforming is possible, which is introduced in

the "Background Art" described previously, is applied.

[105] This arm unit 300 may be formed in such a form that

it is substantially coupled to one side and the other side

of an outer circumferential surface of the support pole 1 by

bolting and that it extends at a predetermined length in a

direction perpendicular to a lengthwise direction of the

support pole 1 and the antenna device A is installed spaced

apart from the support pole 1 by a predetermined length.

[106] The rotation unit 200 may be coupled to a tip portion

of the arm unit 300 so as to be rotatable in a left-right

direction. The rotation unit 200 is rotated about the tip

portion of the arm unit 300 in a left-right direction,

thereby serving to substantially facilitate directivity

design of the left-right direction of the antenna device A

coupled to the tilting unit 100.

[107] Moreover, the tilting unit 100 is coupled to a tip portion of the rotation unit 200 so as to be tiltable in an up-down direction. The tilting unit 100 is tilted about the tip portion of the rotation unit 200 in an up-down direction, thereby serving to substantially facilitate directivity design of the up-down direction of the antenna device A coupled to the tilting unit 100.

[108] In this way, an embodiment of the clamping apparatus

50 for an antenna according to the present disclosure

enables angle fixation with respect to a radiation direction

of radio waves radiated from a front surface of the antenna

device A coupled to the support pole 1 by rotating the

antenna device A in a left-right direction using the

rotation unit 200, as well as by tilting the antenna device

A in an up-down direction using the tilting unit 100. A

state of the angle fixation caused by the rotation unit 200

and the tilting unit 100 will be described below in greater

detail.

[109] Hereinafter, for the convenience of understanding,

the description will be made by defining a front direction

of the antenna device A as "front", defining the opposite

direction as "rear", defining a left side of the front as

"leftward direction" and a right side of the front as

"rightward direction", and defining an upper side of the

antenna device A as "upward direction" and a lower side of

the antenna device A as "downward direction".

[110] Hereinafter, the description will be made in greater

detail from an adjacent component centering on the antenna

device A.

[111] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 6, the antenna device A is

coupled to a tip portion of the tilting unit 100. More

specifically, the antenna device A is coupled to the tip

portion of the rotation unit 200 such that the tilting unit

100 is tiltable in a state coupled to the tip portion of the

tilting unit 100. In this state, referring to FIG. 3, the

rotation unit 200 is mounted in a mounting space 331 that is

provided at the tip portion of the arm unit 300 fixed to the

support pole 1, whereby, referring to FIG. 2, the

installation of the antenna device A based on an embodiment

of the clamping apparatus 50 for an antenna according to the

present disclosure can be completed.

[112] Here, referring to FIG. 4, the tilting unit 100 may

include antenna coupling stages 101 that are coupled with

the antenna device A, and tilting blocks 103, each of which

extends to the rear where the rotation unit 200 is provided

and is coupled to come into surface contact with one outer

lateral surface or the other outer lateral surface of the

rotation unit 200.

[113] Each of the antenna coupling stages 101 is a part

that comes into close contact with a rear surface of the

antenna device A and has bolt through-holes 110a formed to be able to be bolted by fastening bolts 110. Referring to

FIG. 4, two bolt through-holes 110a may be formed spaced

apart from each other up and down by a predetermined

distance.

[114] Referring to FIG. 4, each of the tilting blocks 103

is a part that has a surface orthogonal to a coupling

surface of each of the antenna coupling stages 101 and is

substantially coupled to a left or right lateral surface of

the tip portion of the rotation unit 200.

[115] Multiple reinforcement ribs 107 are provided between

each of the tilting blocks 103 and each of the antenna

coupling stages 101, and can improve durability by

reinforcing a mechanical fatigue caused by weight of the

antenna device A or wind around the antenna device A.

[116] Each of the tilting blocks 103 may be configured such

that a tilting guide 130, which is formed in a slotted plate

shape so as to guide the tilting motion of the tilting unit

100, is attached to an outer lateral surface thereof

opposite to an inner lateral surface thereof which comes

into close contact with the left or right lateral surface of

the tip portion of the rotation unit 200. In addition, each

of the tilting blocks 103 may be configured such that a

tilting pin 140 is provided to the inner surface thereof

which comes into close contact with the left or right

lateral surface of the tip portion of the rotation unit 200 so as to become a tilting center of the tilting unit 100.

[117] Each of the tilting guides 130 may include a tilting

guide slot 133 that is formed in the same circumference

thereof centering on the tilting pin 140, and a tilting

guide bolt 135 that passes through the tilting guide slot

133 from the outside and is fixed to the rotation unit 200.

[118] Each of the tilting guides 130 may be provided in a

plate shape corresponding to a shape of a guide slot

mounting recess 102 that is formed to be recessed in the

same depth toward an inner lateral surface from an outer

lateral surface of the tilting block 103, and the tilting

guide slot 133 may be formed to pass through the tilting

guide 130 in a left-right direction. Fixing holes 102', to

which fastening screws 132 provided in the form of a flat

head screw are fastened to pass through fastening holes 131

formed in the tilting guide 130, may be formed in the guide

slot mounting recess 102.

[119] Here, the tilting guide slot 133 formed in the

tilting guide 130 is formed in the same circumference having

a common center with the tilting pin 140, and may be formed

to have a circumferential surface on which the tilting unit

100is tiltable upward and downward on the basis of the

horizon at a maximum angle of 40 degrees.

[120] Referring to FIG. 3, a tilting angle label 150, which

indicates a position of the tilting guide bolt 135 moving in the tilting guide slot 133 from a reference point at an angle, may be attached to a part of an outer lateral surface of the tilting block 103 which corresponds to one side of the tilting guide 130.

[121] Here, the reference point for the position of the

tilting guide bolt 135 refers to a horizontal state in which

no tilting motion of the tilting block 103 is performed and

is indicated by "0 degree", and the tilting angle may be

indicated with respect to each of upward tilting and

downward tilting at angular intervals of 5° or 10°.

Therefore, an installation worker mounts the antenna device

A on the tilting unit 100, and then fixes the tilting unit

100 by tilting the tilting unit 100 at an accurate position

through the tilting angle label 150, whereby reliability of

installation work of the antenna device A can be improved.

[122] The tilting pin 140 is a kind of bolt that is

installed to pass through the tilting block 103 from an

outside to an inside of the tilting block 103, is fixed to

the outer lateral surface of the rotation unit 200 like a

hinge, and becomes a tilting center of the tilting unit 100.

[123] The tilting unit 100 may be provided in a pair so as

to be coupled to tilting unit installing stages 210 provided

left and right in a pair among the components of the

rotation unit 200. Therefore, the description is made on

the assumption that components of the tilting unit 100 described above and components of the tilting unit 100 to be described below are provided in bilateral symmetry in a pair unless defined otherwise.

[124] Meanwhile, tilting braking washer pads 120 may be

interposed between inner lateral surfaces of the tilting

blocks 103 and outer lateral surfaces of the rotation unit

200 (preferably, outer lateral surfaces of the tilting unit

installing stages 210). Each of the tilting braking washer

pads 120 may be fastened to a tilting braking washer pad

mounting recess 104 recessed in the inner lateral surface of

the tilting block 103 so as to correspond to a shape of the

tilting braking washer pad mounting recess 104 by a process

of fastening screws 122 provided in the form of a flat head

screw passing through and being fastened to fastening holes

121 formed across left and right and fixing holes 108 formed

in the inner lateral surface of the tilting block 103.

[125] A plurality of braking protrusions 125 are formed on

an inner lateral surface of each of the tilting braking

washer pads 120 so as to protrude inward, thereby serving to

prevent the antenna device A from being arbitrarily tilted

by weight of the antenna device A and an external force such

as a wind blowing around the antenna device A by forming a

predetermined friction force between the inner lateral

surface of the tilting braking washer pad 120 and the outer

lateral surface of the rotation unit 200during the tilting motion of the tilting unit 100. As will be described below, friction pads 212 are installed on the outer lateral surfaces of the tilting unit installing stages 210 of the rotation unit 200, thereby forming a mutual friction force with the tilting braking washer pads 120.

[126] A washer through-slot 123, through and to which the

tilting guide bolt 135 can pass and be fastened, may be

formed in each of the tilting braking washer pads 120 in a

shape corresponding to the tilting guide slot 133. In

addition, a tilting through-slot 109 having a shape

corresponding to the tilting guide slot 133 may be formed in

the tilting block 103. The tilting guide bolt 135 is a bolt

that is fixedly fastened to the left or right lateral

surface of the tip portion of the rotation unit 200, and may

pass through the tilting guide slot 133, the tilting

through-slot 109, and the washer through-slot 123 in turn

and be fixedly fastened to the left or right lateral surface

of the tip portion of the rotation unit 200.

[127] If a predetermined tilting external force is provided

to the tilting blocks 103 having this configuration when

upward/downward tilting of the antenna device A coupled to

tip portions of the tilting blocks 103 is required, after an

upward or downward tilting motion is performed within a

tilting angle range of the tilting guide slots 133 when an

external force exceeding a friction force of the tilting braking washer pads 120 is provided, the tilting blocks 103 can be fixed.

[128] Meanwhile, referring to FIG. 5, the rotation unit 200

may include tilting unit installing stages 210 to which the

tilting unit 100 is tiltably coupled, a rotating block 220

that is inserted into a mounting space 331 of the arm unit

300, and a connecting block 230 that interconnects the

tilting unit installing stages 210 and the rotating block

220.

[129] Here, the tilting unit installing stages 210 are

provided apart from each other in a pair so as to extend

from left and right ends of the connecting block 230 toward

the tilting unit 100. As described above, the tilting pins

140 acting as the tilting center of the tilting unit 100 may

be provided on outer lateral surfaces of the tilting unit

installing stages 210 so as to be connected with the tilting

unit 100.

[130] That is, the above-described tilting blocks 103 of

the tilting unit 100 are installed on the outer lateral

surfaces of the tilting unit installing stages 210 of the

rotation unit 200, and may be provided in a pair like the

tilting unit installing stages 210.

[131] As described above, the tilting guide bolts 135 are

fixed to the outer lateral surfaces of the tilting unit

installing stages 210 so as to pass through the tilting blocks 103, the tilting guides 130, and the tilting braking washer pads 120 of the tilting unit 100, and tilting pin fastening holes 217 may be formed in the tilting unit installing stages 210 such that the tilting pins 140 pass through and be fastened to the tilting blocks 103 of the tilting unit 100.

[132] In addition, the friction pads 212, which provide

friction surfaces against which the braking protrusions 125

of the tilting braking washer pads 120 are rubbed, may be

installed in pad installation recesses 211 of the outer

lateral surfaces of the tilting unit installing stages 210

by flat head screws 215. The flat head screws 215 may

install and fix the friction pads 212 by passing through

friction pad installing holes 213 formed in the friction

pads 212 and being fastened and fixed to friction pad fixing

holes 219 of the tilting unit installing stages 210.

Therefore, the friction pads 212 can be easily replaced when

worn by a continuous tilting motion.

[133] Meanwhile, among the components of the rotation unit

200, a rotating block 220 is a part which is inserted into

and installed in the mounting space 331 provided in the tip

portion of the arm unit 300 in a hollow form, and which

enables the rotation unit 200 to be rotated in the mounting

space 331 in a left-right direction.

[134] Referring to FIG. 5, the rotating block 220 may include a lower block 220a that comes into close contact with a lower surface of the mounting space 331 of the arm unit 300, an upper block 220b that is provided at an upper side of the lower block 220a so as to be separated at a predetermined distance and comes into close contact with an upper surface of the mounting space 331, and a center block

220c that interconnects the lower block 220a and the upper

block 220b.

[135] Meanwhile, referring to FIG. 5, a rotating braking

washer pad 240 performing the same function as the above

described tilting braking washer pads 120 may be interposed

between the rotating block 220 and the arm unit 300.

[136] More specifically, if each of the tilting braking

washer pads 120 is installed between the tilting unit

installing stage 210 and the tilting unit 100 and produces a

predetermined friction force during a tilting motion, the

rotating braking washer pad 240 can produce a predetermined

friction force between the rotating block 220 and the arm

unit 300 during a rotating motion in a left-right direction

and serve to prevent the antenna device A from being moved

in a left-right direction by an arbitrary external force.

[137] The rotating braking washer pad 240 may be mounted in

a rotating braking washer pad mounting recess 221, which is

formed to be recessed from an upper surface of the upper

block 220b among the components of the rotating block 220, in a corresponding shape. Fastening holes 243 through which flat head screws 245 pass are provided in the rotating braking washer pad 240 so as to be across up and down, and fixing holes 225 to which the flat head screws 245 are fastened and fixed are formed in a part corresponding to the rotating braking washer pad mounting recess 221. The rotating braking washer pad 240 can be fixed to the rotating braking washer pad mounting recess 221 by a process of the flat head screws 245 being fastened to the fastening holes

243 and the fixing holes 225 in turn.

[138] A plurality of braking protrusions 241 are provided

on an upper surface of the rotating braking washer pad 240,

and produce the above-described friction force between the

upper surface of the rotating braking washer pad 240 and the

upper surface of the hollow mounting space 331.

[139] Meanwhile, referring to FIG. 5, an upper hinge

fastening hole 222a, which forms a hinge point to which an

upper rotating pin (see a reference numeral 335 of FIG. 6)

is fastened, may be formed in the upper block 220b among the

components of the rotating block 220, and a front guide bolt

fastening hole 222b and a rear guide bolt fastening hole

222c to which a front rotation guide bolt 336a and a rear

rotation guide bolt 336b, which are provided to guide

leftward and rightward rotating motions of the rotation unit

200 acting as one component of the rotation guide of the arm unit 300 (to be described below), are fastened may be formed in the upper block 220b. In addition, because the upper rotating pin 335, the front rotation guide bolt 336a, and the rear rotation guide bolt 336b are also through-fastened to the rotating braking washer pad 240, an upper hinge through-hole 242a, a front guide bolt through-hole 242b, and a rear guide bolt through-hole 242b may be formed in the rotating braking washer pad 240.

[140] A lower hinge fastening hole (see a reference numeral

251 of FIG. 10) in which a mounting guide unit (to be

described below) is provided may be provided in the lower

block 220aamong the components of the rotating block 220.

[141] Meanwhile, the clamping apparatus 50 for an antenna

according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may

further include a mounting guide unit (see a reference

numeral 250 of FIG. 10) provided to the lower block 220a

among the components of the rotating block 220.

[142] The mounting guide unit 250 is provided to the

rotation unit 200, and serves to be temporarily fixed to the

lower hinge fastening hole 251 that forms the hinge point in

the mounting space 331 after being elastically compressed

when the rotation unit 200 is mounted in the mounting space

331 of the arm unit 300. Therefore, with the antenna device

A, which is a predetermined weight body, coupled to the tip

portion of the tilting unit 100, the rotation unit 200 can be more easily fixed to the arm unit 300 along with the tilting unit 100. This mounting guide unit 250 will be described in detail after the arm unit 300 is described first.

[143] Meanwhile, referring to FIG. 6, the arm unit 300 may

include an outer mounting block 310 that is disposed to come

into close contact with one side of an outer circumferential

surface of the support pole 1, an inner mounting block 320

that is disposed to come into close contact with the other

side of the outer circumferential surface of the support

pole 1 and is fixed with the outer mounting block 310 by at

least one or more fixing bolts325, and a clamp arm 330 that

extends from the inner mounting block 320 at a predetermined

length in a direction orthogonal to the support pole 1 and

constitutes a tip portion to which the mounting space 331 is

provided.

[144] The outer mounting block 310 may be formed of a steel

material, and may form a frame. A support block 340, in

which an outer shape-fitting recess 343, which is a part

that substantially corresponds to a shape of the one side of

the outer circumferential surface of the support pole 1, is

formed and which is formed of an elastic material having a

high friction force such that a slip is not generated

between the support block 340 and the support pole lto come

into close contact, may be coupled to the outer mounting block 310 so as to be disposed between the outer mounting block 310 and the support pole 1.

[145] At least one or more outer bolt through-holes 311

through which fixing bolts 325 pass may be formed in left

and right opposite ends of the outer mounting block 310 so

as to be spaced up and down. Support bolt through-holes 341

may also be formed in the support block 340 at positions

corresponding to the outer bolt through-holes 311. Inner

bolt through-holes 321 may also be formed in the inner

mounting block 320 at positions corresponding to the outer

bolt through-holes 311 and the support bolt through-holes

341.

[146] The outer mounting block 310, the support block 340,

and the inner mounting block 320 are fastened such that the

fixing bolts 325 pass through the inner bolt through-holes

321, the support bolt through-holes 341, and the outer bolt

through-holes 311 from the side of the inner mounting block

320 in turn, and then are firmly fastened using fastening

nuts 360, whereby the antenna device A can be stably

supported.

[147] Here, the fastening nuts 360 are fastened to nut

fastening parts 313, which are formed as empty spaces

between the outer bolt through-holes 311 of the outer

mounting block 310 and the support bolt through-holes341, in

a hidden state, and thereby can be provided such that arbitrary disassembly is made difficult by a third person.

[148] Among the components of the support block 340, the

outer shape-fitting recess 343, which is a part that

substantially comes into close contact with the one side of

the outer circumferential surface of the support pole 1, may

be formed to be recessed in a shape corresponding to the

outer circumferential surface of the support pole 1 in order

to improve a close contact area with respect to the support

pole 1 having a circular cross section. In addition, the

outer shape-fitting recess 343 may be serration-machined

such that multiple serration ribs are formed for a stronger

friction force while being compressed on the outer

circumferential surface of the support pole 1 by a fastening

force from the fixing bolts 325 and the fastening nuts 360.

[149] Meanwhile, an inner shape-fitting recess 323

corresponding to the outer shape-fitting recess 343 of the

support block 340 may be formed in an outer lateral surface

of the inner mounting block 320, i.e. a surface that

substantially comes into close contact with the support pole

1. The inner mounting block 320 is formed of a steel

material for support rigidity. However, regardless of this,

the inner shape-fitting recess 323 may also be subjected to

serration machining such that multiple serration ribs are

formed to prevent a slip from being generated between the

inner mounting block 320 and the support pole 1.

[150] The inner mounting block 320 and the clamp arm 330

may be integrally molded. Here, the inner mounting block

320 may be formed such that an up-down-left-right area

(i.e., a front area) thereof is relatively larger than that

occupied by the clamp arm 330. In addition, depending on an

embodiment, a tip portion of the clamp arm 330 may be formed

to have various distances spaced apart from the support pole

1 (see FIG. 15 to be described below).

[151] When a length of the clamp arm 330 is relatively

short, weight of the antenna device A can be sufficiently

supported by an integral molding method of a connecting part

between the inner mounting block 320 and the clamp arm 330.

However, when the length of the clamp arm 330 is relatively

long, at least one or more reinforcement ribs (see a

reference numeral 380 of FIG. 12) may be formed at the

connecting part between the inner mounting block 320 and the

clamp arm 330.

[152] Furthermore, in the case where the length of the

clamp arm 330 is formed relatively long, i.e. in the case

where fatigue strength of the connecting part between the

inner mounting block 320 and the clamp arm 330 due to the

weight of the antenna device coupled to the tilting unit 100

and the length of the clamp arm 330 is not satisfied only by

the formation of at least one or more above-described

reinforcement ribs 380, the fatigue strength should be reinforced. To this end, the clamping apparatus 50 for an antenna according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may further include a reinforcement wire unit (see a reference numeral 400 of FIGS. 12, 13, and 15 to be described below).

[153] The reinforcement wire unit 400 may include a

connecting wire 420, one end of which is fixed to a part of

the support pole 1 which corresponds to an upper portion of

the arm unit 300, and the other end of which is fixed to the

clamp arm 330 of the arm unit 300. An installing bracket

410 and a one-side connecting ring 411 to which the one end

of the connecting wire 420 is connected may be provided to

the part of the support pole 1, and the other-side

connecting ring 412 to which the other end of the connecting

wire 420 is connected may be provided to a tip portion of

the clamp arm 330 of the arm unit 300.

[154] As described above, this reinforcement wire unit 400

may be selectively installed in consideration of the length

of the clamp arm 330 manufactured to have various lengths,

the weight of the antenna device coupled to the tilting unit

100, and the fatigue strength of the connecting part between

the inner mounting block 320 and the clamp arm 330.

[155] An embodiment of the clamping apparatus 50 for an

antenna according to the present disclosure is configured

such that the clamp arm 330 as one component of the arm unit

300 is provided to have various lengths, thereby providing

an advantage that causes installation work to be more easily

completed while removing spatial limitations on multiple

antenna devices (regardless of whether or not they are

antenna devices of the same communication company) installed

on one support pole 1.

[156] Meanwhile, referring to FIG. 6, the mounting space

331 into which the rotating block 220 of the rotation unit

200 is rotably inserted and installed is provided to the tip

portion of the clamp arm 330. The clamp arm 330 is formed

in the shape of a pipe which has an approximately

rectangular vertical section and which has an empty space

therein, and the empty space may be defined as the mounting

space 331.

[157] A lower hinge hole 334a provided in the shape of a

fastening hole, into which a lower rotating pin 337 (to be

described below) is inserted and then is inserted into and

fixed in the lower hinge fastening hole 251 formed in the

lower block 220a of the rotating block 220, may be formed in

a lower surface of the mounting space 331 so as to be across

up and down.

[158] Moreover, an upper hinge hole 334b provided in the

shape of a fastening hole, into which an upper rotating pin

335 (to be described below) is inserted and then is inserted

into and fixed in the upper hinge fastening hole 222a formed in the upper block 220b of the rotating block 220, may be formed in an upper surface of the mounting space 331 so as to be across up and down.

[159] In addition, at least one rotation guide part 333 may

be formed on an upper surface of the mounting space 331 in a

slot hole shape so as to guide a rotating motion of the

rotation unit 200, and be formed at front and rear sides of

the upper hinge hole 334b so as to be spaced apart from the

front and rear sides.

[160] Here, the rotation guide part 333 may include at

least one rotation guide slot 333a and 333b that are formed

on the same circumference in common with the upper hinge

hole 334b acting as the above-described hinge point, and

rotation guide bolts 336a and 336b that pass through the at

least one rotation guide slot 333a and 333b from the outside

and are fixed to the rotation unit 200.

[161] As described above, the rotation guide slots 333a and

333b may include a front guide slot 333a that is formed at a

front side on the basis of the upper hinge hole334b, and a

rear guide slot 333b that is formed at a rear side on the

basis of the upper hinge hole 334b.

[162] In addition, the rotation guide bolts 336a and 336b

may also include a front rotation guide bolt 336a that is

inserted into and passes through the front guide slot 333a

and is inserted into and fastened to the front guide bolt fastening hole 242b of the upper block 220b among the components of the rotation unit 200, and a rear rotation guide bolt 336b that is inserted into and passes through the rear guide slot 333b and is inserted into and fastened to the rear guide bolt fastening hole 242c of the upper block

220b among the components of the rotation unit 200.

[163] Therefore, the rotation unit 200 can be rotated while

being subjected to guidance and restriction of the front

guide slot 333a and the rear guide slot 333b located at the

front side and the rear side centering on the lower hinge

hole 334a and the upper hinge hole 334b which form hinge

points to which the lower rotating pin 337 and the upper

rotating pin 335 are coupled when a worker provides an

external force for a rotating motion in any one of leftward

and rightward directions to the antenna device A coupled to

the tilting unit 100. In this case, a friction force caused

by the rotating braking washer pad 240 provided between the

rotating block 220 and the arm unit 300 is applied, whereby

an arbitrary rotating motion caused by an external force

other than the external force of the worker can be

prevented.

[164] Meanwhile, a rotating angle label 350, which

indicates positions of the rotation guide bolts 336a and

336b moving in the rotation guide slots 333a and 333b from a

reference point at an angle, may be attached to the tip portion of the clamp arm 330. The rotating angle label 350 is provided in the same form as the tilting angle label 150 to be provided to the tilting unit 100, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[165] FIG. 7 is a top view of FIG. 2 which illustrates a

rotating motion caused by the rotation unit 200. FIG. 8 is

a side view of FIG. 2 which illustrates a tilting motion

caused by the tilting unit 100. FIG. 9 is a sectional view

taken along line A-A of FIG. 8.

[166] Referring to FIGS. 7 to 9, the rotating and tilting

motions of the clamping apparatus 50 for an antenna

according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be

described below in geater detail.

[167] First, looking at the rotating motion, in a state in

which the antenna device A is coupled to the tip portion of

the tilting unit 100, when a predetermined external force is

applied to the antenna device A or the rotation unit 200 as

illustrated in FIGS. 7 and 9, the rotation unit 200is

rotated in such a way that the front rotation guide bolt

336a and the rear rotation guide bolt 336b are rotated

within a range of the front guide slot 333a and a range of

the rear guide slot 333b on the basis of the hinge point

(see a reference numeral 335 indicating the upper rotating

pin in FIG. 7) in the mounting space 331 of the clamp arm

330 of the arm unit 300.

[168] In this case, predetermined moment based on the

support pole 1 is applied to the rotation unit 200 including

the antenna device A, but the outer shape-fitting recess 343

and the inner shape-fitting recess 323 formed in the arm

unit 300 are formed by serration machining and are firmly

coupled to the support pole 1 in close contact with the

support pole 1, whereby arbitrary movement during the

rotating motion can be prevented.

[169] After a rotating angle for the antenna device A is

adjusted, an arbitrary rotating motion is prevented by the

rotating braking washer pad 240 provided between the arm

unit 300 and the rotation unit 200, whereby reliability of

work is increased.

[170] Next, looking at the tilting motion, in a state in

which the antenna device A is coupled to the tip portion of

the tilting unit 100, when a predetermined external force is

applied to the antenna device A or the tilting unit 100 as

illustrated in FIGS. 8 and 9, the tilting unit 100 is tilted

in such a way that the tilting guide bolts 135 are

relatively tilted within ranges of the tilting guide slots

133 of the tilting guides 130 on the basis of the tilting

pins 140. Here, it should be noted that it is described

that the tilting guide bolts 135 are in a state fixed to the

rotation unit 200, thus are not substantially moved, and are

relatively tilted by the tilting motion of the tilting unit

100.

[171] After a tilting angle for the antenna device A is

adjusted, an arbitrary tilting motion is prevented by the

tilting braking washer pads 120 provided between the

rotation unit 200 and the tilting unit 100, whereby

reliability of work is increased.

[172] FIG. 10 is a cutaway perspective view and an enlarged

view illustrating the mounting guide unit among the

components of FIG. 2, and FIGS. llA to 11C are side

sectional views illustrating an operating state of the

mounting guide unit of FIG. 10.

[173] Referring to FIGS. 10 to 11C, the clamping apparatus

50 for an antenna according to an embodiment of the present

disclosure may further include the mounting guide unit

250provided to the rotation unit 200.

[174] Referring to FIG. 10, the mounting guide unit 250 may

include a guide tube 260that is provided such that an outer

end thereof can protrude outward from the lower hinge

fastening hole 251, which is provided such that a part of

the rotation unit 200 which corresponds to a hinge point in

the mounting space 331 is recessed upward, at a

predetermined length, and an elastic body 280 that

elastically supports the guide tube 260 in an outward

direction of the rotation unit 200.

[175] Here, the mounting guide unit 250 may be provided to the lower hinge fastening hole251 formed in the lower block

220a of the rotation unit 200. In addition, the elastic

body 280 may be provided as a coil spring that is interposed

between an outer circumferential surface of the guide tube

260 and an inner circumferential surface of the lower hinge

fastening hole 251.

[176] Internal threads 252 are formed on an inner

circumferential surface (i.e. an inner circumferential

surface adjacent to the outside) of a lower end of the lower

hinge fastening hole251. The mounting guide unit 250 may

further include an anti-separation nut 270 that is screwed

to the internal threads 252 formed in the inner

circumferential surface of the lower hinge fastening hole

251 so as to prevent outward separation of the guide tube

260.

[177] This anti-separation nut 270 is located between the

outer circumferential surface of the guide tube 260 and the

inner circumferential surface of the lower hinge fastening

hole 251, and a hanging rib 261 hung on the anti-separation

nut 270 may be formed radially outward on the outer

circumferential surface of the guide tube 260 so as to

extend in a circumferential direction. One end of the

elastic body 280 interposed between the outer

circumferential surface of the guide tube 260 and the inner

circumferential surface of the lower hinge fastening hole

251 may be fixedly supported on an upper side of the hanging

rib 261.

[178] An outer end of the guide tube 260 may protrude at a

length at which the guide tube 260 can be inserted into and

caught in the hinge hole (i.e., the lower hinge hole 334a)

formed at the hinge point in the mounting space 331 of the

arm unit 300.

[179] Referring to FIG. 11A, the mounting guide unit 250

provided in this way is illustrated before the tilting unit

100 to which the antenna device A is coupled and the

rotation unit 200 are mounted on the arm unit 300, and the

guide tube 260 maintains a state protruding outward from the

lower hinge fastening hole 251 at a predetermined length.

[180] Next, referring to FIG. 11B, the mounting guide unit

250 is inserted into a lower surface of a work space after a

worker arbitrarily pushes the guide tube 260 into the lower

hinge fastening hole 251 in order to insert and install the

rotating block 220 of the rotation unit 200 into and in the

mounting space 331.

[181] Finally, if the worker continuously inserts the

tilting unit 100 to which the antenna device A is coupled

and the rotation unit 200 into the mounting space 331, the

guide tube 260 is inserted into the lower hinge hole 334a by

an elastic force of the elastic body 280 at a side where the

lower hinge hole 334a is located, whereby temporary fixing is completed. Assembly work may be completed by a process of causing the lower rotating pin 337 to pass through the lower hinge hole 334a from the outside and to be fastened to the lower hinge fastening hole 251.

[182] In this way, the clamping apparatus 50 for an antenna

according to an embodiment of the present disclosure can

greatly improve work performance in the field by coupling

the antenna device A provided as a somewhat large weight

body to the tilting unit 100 to which the antenna device A

is coupled, and by coupling the rotation unit 200 to the arm

unit 300 through the mounting guide unit 250 by a one-touch

coupling method.

[183] FIG. 12 is a perspective view illustrating an example

of an installed state of the antenna device, as a

modification of the arm unit and the tilting unit among the

components of an embodiment of the clamping apparatus 50 for

an antenna according to the present disclosure. FIG. 13 is

an exploded perspective view of FIG. 12. FIGS. 14A and 14B

are a perspective view and an exploded perspective view

illustrating a state in which the antenna device is

installed on the tilting unit of FIG. 12.

[184] Referring to FIGS. 12 to 14B, the tilting unit 100 on

which the antenna device A is substantially installed may

further include an expansion connector 105 that is expanded

to connect the antenna coupling stage 101 and the tilting block 103 in a left-right direction.

[185] When a vertical length of the antenna device A is

relatively larger, the expansion connector 105 is an

additional component for improving a coupling force with

respect to the antenna device A. That is, as a difference

from the tilting unit 100 illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 11C, the

tilting unit 100 illustrated in FIGS. 12 to 14B may have an

additional advantage in that fastening points can be formed

at multiple parts of the antenna device A, the vertical

length of which is formed relatively long.

[186] The expansion connector 105 is bent to have surfaces

orthogonal to the antenna coupling stage 101 and the tilting

block 103, and may include multiple reinforcement ribs 107

that are additionally formed in the front in order to

reinforce mechanical fatigue strength with respect to the

weight of the antenna device A.

[187] Meanwhile, referring to FIGS. 13 to 14B, the antenna

coupling stage 101 may have at least two or more fastening

flanges 106 in which U-shaped fastening holes 106' having

open upper sides are formed such that fixing screws 110' ,

which are previously fastened to a plurality of places 21 of

lateral surfaces of the antenna device A in a temporarily

fixed form, are hung downward and then screwed.

[188] In FIG. 13 illustrated as a modification of the

tilting unit 100, the fastening flanges 106 are provided at left upper and lower ends and right upper and lower ends of the antenna coupling stages 101 so as to be spaced apart from each other, and fastening flanges (not indicated by a reference numeral), in which ordinary fastening holes

101' different from the U-shaped fastening holes 106' are

formed in left and right middle parts of the antenna

coupling stages 101, are provided, so that the antenna

coupling stages 101 can be provided to be coupled with the

antenna device A in a total of six places.

[189] Here, referring to FIG. 14B, the antenna coupling

stages 101 of the tilting unit 100 are moved from below to

above the fixing screws 110' that are previously fastened to

screwing holes 22 formed in the plurality of places 21 of

the lateral surfaces of the antenna device A in a

temporarily fixed form, and the fixed fixing screws 110' are

hung on the U-shaped fastening holes 106' of the antenna

coupling stages 101, and can be turned and firmly fixed.

[190] In this way, the expansion connectors 105 provide an

advantage in that they are fixed to the screwing holes 22

provided adjacent to ends of the antenna device A and thus

the antenna device A in which a left-right width or an up

down length thereof is formed long on the whole can be

stably installed in equilibrium.

[191] Meanwhile, referring to FIGS. 1 and 12, the support

pole 1 may be provided with multiple support rods 3 that slantly extend downward from an outer circumferential surface of the support pole 1 and are radially spaced apart from one another at a predetermined angle, and supporting panels 5 that are provided at tips of the multiple support rods 3 and are supported and coupled to a ground or a wall.

[192] The multiple support rods 3 may be fixed to the

support pole 1 by welding and be formed integrally with the

support pole 1, as well as the multiple support rods 3 may

be separately manufactured to be coupled to the support pole

1 by various coupling methods such as a bolting method.

[193] Further, the supporting panels 5 may include bolt

fastening holes (not illustrated) that are coupled to the

ground or the wall using fastening members such as bolts.

[194] FIG. 15 is a perspective view illustrating various

embodiments of the arm unit among the components of FIG. 2.

[195] Referring to FIG. 15, in an embodiment of the

clamping apparatus 50 for an antenna according to the

present disclosure, the arm unit 300 may be manufactured at

various lengths such that a separation distance between the

support pole 1 and the antenna device A differs.

[196] Here, as the length of the arm unit 300 becomes

relatively longer, fatigue strength caused by the weight of

the antenna device A coupled to the tip portion of the

tilting unit 100 and the length of the arm unit 300 itself

is taken into consideration, and it goes without saying that, as described above, the reinforcement ribs 380 and the reinforcement wire unit 400 can be selectively provided.

[197] More specifically, referring to FIG. 15, when the

length of the clamp arm 330 is formed relatively long, and

when fatigue strength of the connection part between the

inner mounting block 320 and the clamp arm 330 depending on

the weight of the antenna device A coupled to the tilting

unit 100 and the length of the clamp arm 330 is not

satisfied only by the formation of the at least one or more

above-described reinforcement ribs 380, the clamping

apparatus 50 for an antenna according to an embodiment of

the present disclosure may further include the reinforcement

wire unit 400 for reinforcing this.

[198] The reinforcement wire unit 400 may provided with a

connecting wire 420, one end of which is fixed to a part of

the support pole 1 which corresponds to an upper portion of

the arm unit 300, and the other end of which is fixed to the

clamp arm 330 of the arm unit 300. An installing bracket

410 and a one-side connecting ring 411 for connecting the

one end of the connecting wire 420 may be provided to the

part of the support pole 1, and the other-side connecting

ring 412 for connecting the other end of the connecting wire

420 may be provided to the tip portion of the clamp arm 330

of the arm unit 300.

[199] As described above, this reinforcement wire unit 400 may be selectively installed in consideration of the fatigue strength of the connection part between the inner mounting block 320 and the clamp arm 330 depending on the length of the clamp arm 330 manufactured to have various lengths and the weight of the antenna device A coupled to the tilting unit 100.

[200] An embodiment of the clamping apparatus 50 for an

antenna according to the present disclosure includes the

clamp arm 330 as one component of the arm unit 300 so as to

have various lengths, thereby providing an advantage that

causes installation work to be more easily completed while

removing spatial limitations on multiple antenna devices A

(regardless of whether or not they are antenna devices of

the same communication company) installed on one support

pole 1.

[201] An embodiment of the clamping apparatus for an

antenna according to the present disclosure has been

described in detail with reference to the accompanying

drawings. However, it goes without saying that embodiments

of the present disclosure are not necessarily restricted by

the embodiment described above and can be modified and

carried out in an equivalent range by those skilled in the

art to which the present disclosure pertains. Therefore,

the scope of rights of the present disclosure will be

defined by the following claims.

[Industrial Applicability]

[202] The present disclosure provides the clamping

apparatus for an antenna which can increase a degree of

freedom of installation with respect to a support pole

having many spatial limitations and improve workability.
