Feed horn structures and manufacture method thereof, frequency converter and satellite communication reception antenna
Technical field
The present invention relates to be used to receive the feed horn structures and the manufacture method thereof of satellite communication (specifically, satellite broadcasting), the frequency converter that has feed horn structures and satellite communication reception antenna.
Background technology
Figure 11 is the stereogram of satellite broadcasting receiving antenna., enter feed horn 101 and be directed in the reflection of parabolic antenna 150 places from the radio wave of satellite.The radio wave that is directed in this wise (for example becomes TV signal or audio signal by frequency converter 140 frequency conversions that are connected on the feed horn 101, Japanese patent application publication No. No.7-38321, Japanese patent application publication No. No.9-46102, Japanese Utility Model publication number No.6-81120).
Figure 12 is the front view that has the feed horn structures of loudspeaker cap in traditional LNB (low noise block) low-converter, wherein shows their vertical cross-section.Figure 13 is the above feed horn structures sectional view along the XIII-XIII line of Figure 12.Shown in Figure 12 and 13, traditionally, feed horn 101 and loudspeaker cap 102 are removable mutually, and form feed horn structures when combining.In these feed horn structures unit, the loudspeaker cap must with the radio wave of unattenuated incident, be that " transparent " material is made for radio wave, that is,, make with non electrically conductive material as minimum requirements.As for feed horn, because it is used as waveguide, its inwall must be made with conductor at least.For this reason, these two parts are to make dividually as the parts that separate traditionally, combine when number of assembling steps.When number of assembling steps, a plurality of latch closures 103 that are provided on the loudspeaker cap are combined together with feed horn 101, thereby they are combined.
According to above combined method, cooperate the equilibrium of forces may be destroyed, cause near the latch closure of loudspeaker cap the albefaction (whitening) or the generation of fracture.In addition, owing to use O shape ring 104 to keep air-tightness, cost also increases.
So, need a kind ofly to make up feed horn and loudspeaker cap and need not to have such as feed horn structures above-mentioned, that can produce the such structure of latch closure that big stress concentrates.
Summary of the invention
The purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of feed horn structures, wherein can combine feed horn and loudspeaker cap and do not produce albefaction, crack or the like; The manufacture method of this feed horn structures, the frequency converter with this feed horn structures and satellite communication reception antenna also are provided.
The feed horn structures that receives frequency converter according to satellite communication of the present invention comprises: the cylinder feed horn, and it is used to receive radio wave and guiding radio wave from antenna part; And be fixed on the feed horn so that surround the loudspeaker cap of feed horn at a port of antenna one side.Feed horn and loudspeaker cap are integrated in together by whole die casting.
By this structure,, no longer need to be used for fixing the latch closure of loudspeaker cap, and prevent generation such as the trouble of albefaction or fracture because feed horn and loudspeaker cap are integrated in together by whole die casting.In addition, owing to obtain air-tightness by whole die casting, O shape ring can be excluded, so cost reduces.
According to feed horn structures of the present invention, feed horn can utilize blow moulding (blowmolding) integrally to be moulded into the loudspeaker cap of resin material.
By this structure, feed horn and loudspeaker cap can easily integrate, to keep air-tightness.
According to feed horn structures of the present invention, feed horn and loudspeaker cap can be by their recessed portion and working in coordination of projection and by jam-pack, to prevent that the loudspeaker cap is with respect to the feed horn displacement.
By this structure, feed horn and loudspeaker cap can prevent displacement by simple structure, swing offset particularly, and they can be integrated in together.
According to feed horn structures of the present invention, feed horn can be the feed horn of die casting.
By this structure, feed horn can be made with low cost with aluminium etc.And then, owing to aluminium can be extended well, so can easily whole die casting feed horn structures.

By this structure, can obtain in light weight and feed horn structures waterproof.At least within it the surface provides with plating layer, and randomly, plating layer can be provided on its whole surface.
According to feed horn structures of the present invention, feed horn can be made with the general fat that has plating layer.
By this structure, can obtain cost economy and lightweight feed horn structures.Similarly, must provide on the surface at least within it, and randomly, plating layer can be provided on its whole surface with plating layer.
According to feed horn structures of the present invention, feed horn can be made into by thin-sheet metal processing.
By this structure, aluminium sheet or steel plate can be embodied as this economy and effective the manufacturing by thin-sheet metal processing.
Receiving frequency converter according to satellite transmits of the present invention comprises: the cylinder feed horn, and it is used to receive radio wave and guiding radio wave from antenna part; And be fixed on the feed horn so that surround the loudspeaker cap of feed horn at a port of antenna one side.Feed horn and loudspeaker cap are integrated in together by whole die casting.
By this structure, can obtain not having the frequency converter of the cost economy of defective effectively.
Satellite communication reception antenna of the present invention comprises antenna part and frequency converter.
Frequency converter comprises: the cylinder feed horn, and it is used to receive radio wave and guiding radio wave from antenna part; And be fixed on the feed horn so that surround the loudspeaker cap of feed horn at a port of antenna one side.Feed horn and loudspeaker cap are integrated in together by whole die casting.
By this structure, can obtain the satellite communication reception antenna of flawless cost economy effectively.
The method that receives the feed horn structures of frequency converter according to manufacturing satellite communication of the present invention comprises: the cylinder feed horn is installed to step on the blow molding die (blow molder); Parison as the loudspeaker cap is installed on the feed horn so that surround a port of loudspeaker and compress the step of parison with blow molding die (blowing mold); And from another port of feed horn to the parison compressed-air blows, so that parison is molded as the shape consistent with blow molding die.
By this structure, wherein feed horn and loudspeaker cap can be made effectively and at low cost by feed horn structures closely fastened to each other, do not concentrate and do not produce stress.
