Detailed Description
Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like or similar reference numerals refer to like or similar elements or elements having like or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are illustrative only and are not to be construed as limiting the invention.
Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The invention provides a downward inclination angle control device which is used for realizing the switching among a plurality of power output mechanisms 200 so as to finally realize the downward inclination angle adjustment. In this embodiment, the selection switch device is a cam 100.
The cam 100 includes a driving structure for driving the power output mechanism 200 to linearly move in the axial direction, and a transmission structure for receiving transmission of an external force. The driving structure comprises a platform 101 carrying a plurality of power output mechanisms 200 and a convex edge 102 arranged on the platform 101, the power output mechanisms 200 slide relatively on the cam 100 along with the rotation of the cam 100 around the axial direction, and when one or more power output mechanisms 200 slide to the convex edge 102, the power output mechanisms 200 are in operative connection with the convex edge 102. Specifically, as shown in fig. 1 and 3, in this embodiment, the convex edge 102 is formed by an upper slope 1021 and a lower slope 1022, and a highest point 1023 of the convex edge 102 is located between the upper slope 1021 and the lower slope 1022. During the movement of the power output mechanism 200 from the platform 101 to the highest point 1023 via the upper slope 1021, the upper slope 1021 forms an upward thrust on the power output mechanism 200, so that the power output mechanism 200 moves straight upward along the axial direction thereof. The convex edge 102 moves relatively to the power output mechanisms 200, and when the power output mechanism 200 moves from the highest point 1023 to the platform 101 through the downward slope 1022, the downward slope 1022 forms an upward supporting force on the power output mechanism 200, so that the power output mechanism 200 moves linearly downward along the axial direction. As such, the flange 102 cycles back and forth between the plurality of power take-offs 200.
The flange 102 may be a slope, and the power take-off mechanism 200 may move circularly along the slope in the axial direction under the supporting force of the slope. The convex edge 102 is a symmetrically arranged inclined surface, and according to fig. 2a and 3, the inclined surface 102 'is symmetrically arranged left and right, and the power output mechanism 200 and the inclined surface 102' perform relative movement. During the movement of the power take-off mechanism 200 along the inclined surface 102' from the lower position to the highest position 1023', the component force of the inclined surface 102' in the axial direction of the power take-off mechanism 200 pushes the power take-off mechanism 200 to move upwards along the axial direction; during the movement of the movement output mechanism 200 along the inclined surface 102' from the highest point 1023' to the lower position, the component force of the inclined surface 102' in the axial direction of the movement output mechanism 200 supports the movement output mechanism 200 to move downward in the axial direction. As such, the flange 102' cycles back and forth between the plurality of power take-offs 200.
As shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2a and 2b, the convex edges 102 and 102' are symmetrical structures arranged along the platform 101 in a circular arc. The convex edge 102 'rotates along with the cam 100, and moves relative to the plurality of power output mechanisms 200, and the power output mechanisms 200 move relative to the convex edges 102, 102' along the platform 101 along the track on the platform 101 in an arc shape. The platform 101 may also be a circular platform, and the plurality of power take-off mechanisms 200 may slide relative to the platform 101 along the circumference of the platform 101. The plurality of power take-off mechanisms 200 on the platform 101 are uniformly distributed on the platform 101, and the plurality of power take-off mechanisms 200 are cyclically moved up or down in the axial direction thereof by the flanges 102, 102'.
A guide slot 103, 103 'is provided in the platform 101 along the extension of the flanges 102, 102'. In this embodiment, the guide grooves 103, 103' are driven by the transmission structure to rotate and slide relative to the power output mechanism 200. The guide grooves 103, 103' limit the power take-off mechanism 200, preventing the power take-off mechanism 200 from being off track.
In fig. 1 and 2a, 2b, guide groove inner side walls 1031, 1031 'and guide groove outer side walls 1032, 1032' are provided along both sides in the width direction of the guide grooves 103, 103 'to better guide and protect the movement of the power output mechanism 200 along the guide grooves 103, 103'. The guide groove may be a concave groove formed in the stage 101. The guide grooves 103 and 103 'and the convex edges 102 and 102' form a closed loop structure, so that a better limiting effect is achieved, and the power output mechanism 200 is further prevented from deviating from the track.
Preferably, the surfaces of the guide grooves 103, 103 'are smooth surfaces to reduce friction between the power take-off mechanism 200 and the guide grooves 103, 103'; or one or both of the contact surfaces between the guide grooves 103, 103' and the power take-off mechanism 200 may be appropriately set as a surface of a certain friction coefficient to adjust the sliding speed or prevent the power take-off mechanism 200 from deviating.
As shown in fig. 1 and 2a, 2b, the drive structure includes a drive gear 110 located on one side of the platform 101 opposite the ledges 102, 102'. In this embodiment, the platform 101 is integrally formed with the drive gear 110. The platform 101 rotates synchronously under the drive of the transmission gear 110, and the convex edges 102 and 102' can push the power output mechanism 200 to move upwards along the axial direction along the component force of the axial direction of the power output mechanism 200 or support the power output mechanism 200 to move downwards along the axial direction.
In other embodiments, the drive gear and platform 101 are two separate components that are integrally assembled with each other and do not rotate relative to each other.
Alternatively, for the transmission structure, a driving device directly connected to the platform, such as a driving motor, may be used to directly drive the driving structure to rotate or stop, so as to push the power output mechanism 200 to axially move.
Further, in order to achieve accurate positioning of the platform 101 during the working process, besides having an accuracy requirement on the rotation angle of the platform 101, it is required that the circumferential starting point position of the platform 101 is accurate. Therefore, a positioning hole 109 for indicating the initial position is formed on the end surface of the platform 101 connected to the transmission gear 110, as shown in fig. 2 b.
The working principle of the cam 100 of the present invention will be described below by means of an application of the cam 100 to the downtilt control apparatus. As in fig. 3-5. Specifically, the downtilt control device comprises the cam 100, the power output mechanism 200, the driving mechanism 300, the starting mechanism 400 and the supporting frame 500, wherein the cam 100, the power output mechanism 200, the driving mechanism 300 and the starting mechanism 400 are all arranged in the supporting frame 500.
The starting mechanism 400 comprises an auxiliary shaft 401 and an auxiliary gear 402 which is fixedly arranged on the auxiliary shaft 401 and synchronously rotates along with the auxiliary shaft 401. The transmission gear 103 is engaged with the auxiliary gear 402 to rotate with the rotation of the auxiliary shaft 401.
The driving mechanism 300 includes a driving shaft 301 and a driving gear 302 fixed on the driving shaft 301 and synchronously rotating with the driving shaft 301. The platform 101 has a via 120 in the center. In the present embodiment, since the stage 101 and the transmission gear 110 are integrally formed, the via hole 120 axially penetrates the stage 101 and the transmission gear 110. The driving shaft 301 is inserted into the through hole 120 of the cam 100, the driving shaft 301 and the cam 100 rotate relatively, that is, the platform 101 and the driving shaft 301 passing through the through hole 120 are not synchronously rotated, the driving shaft 301 and the cam 100 can be driven to rotate by different driving devices, when the transmission gear 110 drives the driving structure to rotate to a specific angle, the driving shaft 301 is axially rotated again when the power output mechanism 200 supported by the driving structure is at a certain height, the downtilt adjusting device connected with the driving power output mechanism 200 is started or rotated, and the switching between multiple pairs of downtilt adjusting devices is realized by the switching cam 100.
Each power take-off mechanism 200 includes a driven shaft 201, the driven shaft 201 includes a first end 2011 and a second end 2012, the driven shaft first end 2011 is supported on the platform 101, and the driven shaft second end 2012 is used for connecting with the downtilt adjusting device. Driven by the starting mechanism 400, the convex edges 102 and 102' push the driven shaft first end 2011 to enable the driven shaft 201 to axially move up and down periodically, so that the driven shaft second end 2012 is connected with the downward inclination angle adjusting device.
The power output mechanism 200 further includes a driven gear 202 fixed to the driven shaft 201 and synchronously rotating. When the driven gear 202 and the driving gear 302 are flat, they can mesh with each other.

According to the top view of the structural assembly in the supporting frame 500 of the downtilt control device, as shown in fig. 5, the horizontal distance between the driving shaft 301 and the driven shafts 201 is constant, in other words, each driven gear 202 is uniformly distributed on the platform 101, and as shown in fig. 1 and 2a, the platform 101 is a circular platform, and then the driven shafts 201 shown in fig. 5 are uniformly distributed along the circumferential direction of the platform 101.
When it is required to drive a driven shaft 201 to connect to a downtilt device and rotate, firstly, the auxiliary shaft 401 of the starting mechanism 400 is controlled to rotate to enable the cam 100 to rotate by a preset angle, so that the first end 2011 of the driven shaft slides to the highest points 1023 and 1023' of the convex edges, at this time, the driven gear 202 and the driving gear 302 are flush, the driven gear 202 is meshed with the driving gear 302, and the second end 2012 of the driven shaft is connected to the downtilt device; the rotation of the auxiliary shaft 401 is then stopped and the driving shaft 301 is driven to rotate by the driving device, thereby driving the driven shaft 201 to rotate.
A compression spring 203 is mounted on each driven shaft 201, specifically between the driven gear 202 and the second panel 502, each compression spring 203 being maintained under pressure throughout operation such that the first end 2011 of the driven shaft is always pressed against the ledge 102, 102' of the cam 100.
The downtilt control apparatus further includes a positioning assembly 600 cooperatively coupled to the positioning hole 109 of the platform 101 to fix the home position. Specifically, the positioning assembly 600 is mounted on the first panel 501, and during rotation of the cam 100, the positioning assembly 600 can freely enter and exit the positioning hole 109 without affecting the rotation of the axial cam 100 while positioning the initial state.
The downward inclination angle control device of the cam 100 is used for controlling the electric downward inclination angle of the multi-beam antenna, particularly for controlling the electric downward inclination angle of the built-in multi-frequency electrically-tunable antenna, and the position of the driven shaft 201 to be driven in the axial direction is accurately selected through the cooperation of the starting mechanism 400 and the cam 100, so that the switching of the power output mechanism 200 is realized. Meanwhile, the driven shaft 201 is directly meshed with the driving gear 302, and the driving gear 302 is driven to drive the downward inclination angle adjusting device connected with the second end 2012 of the driven shaft, so that the problem of slow transmission response in the prior art is solved, and the downward inclination angle control is realized more accurately. Meanwhile, the downward inclination angle control device is simple in structure, and the problems of high cost, large size, complex structure, low reliability and the like in the existing scheme are effectively solved.

The antenna is internally provided with a plurality of pairs of downward inclination angle adjusting devices, a plurality of driven shafts 201 are periodically pushed to the highest points 1023 and 1023' of the cams through the cam 100, so that the driven shafts 201 are periodically connected with the corresponding downward inclination angle adjusting devices in a separable manner, the switching of the plurality of downward inclination angle adjusting devices is realized, and finally the purpose of downward inclination angle adjustment is realized.
