A kind of control device of electrically adjusted antenna
Technical field
The utility model relates to a kind of control device of electrically adjusted antenna, is used for the mobile communication antenna system and changes the driving of electrical tilt antenna sensing and the control device of electrically adjusted antenna of position.
Background technology
Along with the demand of mobile communication system increases day by day, home and overseas operator requires more and more higher to network quality, particularly to urban compact city and story height area, the large and small district of requirement Downtilt covers close and disturbs little each other, general mechanical antenna is difficult to satisfy these requirements, has only electrical tilt antenna could satisfy above-mentioned requirements.Because electrical tilt antenna can be by the synthetic component field intensity intensity of the phase place that changes conllinear array antenna oscillator, the amplitude size that changes vertical component and horizontal component and change, thereby the vertical directivity pattern of antenna is had a down dip, and the while makes whole directional pattern reduce area coverage again in the Serving cell sector but does not produce interference.The electric melody aerial lower inclination angle degree is spent when 5 degree change 1, its electrical tilt antenna directional diagram and mechanical antenna roughly the same; Spend when 10 degree change 5 when tilt angled down, the more mechanical antenna of its electrical tilt antenna directional diagram has obvious difference, and at this moment the electrical tilt antenna pattern shapes changes not quite, and the main lobe direction coverage distance obviously shortens, and the entire antenna directional diagram is all in this base station section.
The electric melody aerial lower inclination angle degree is then adjusted by phase shifter, and adjustable phase shifter can reach the adjustment purpose by changing mechanical locations such as length or angle usually.
And in order to realize the Remote function, generally be to adopt a control device of electrically adjusted antenna to come the phase shifter of electrical tilt antenna is carried out Long-distance Control.
Usually, control device of electrically adjusted antenna comprises motor and electric melody aerial lower inclination angle degree control module, and motor has a rotation axis; The phase shifter rotation axis of the rotation axis of motor and electrical tilt antenna links, electric melody aerial lower inclination angle degree control module links to each other with motor, electric melody aerial lower inclination angle degree control module be used to export control signal control motor rotation axis rotation so that control the rotation of the phase shifter rotation axis of described electrical tilt antenna, thereby finish adjustment to the electric melody aerial lower inclination angle degree.
But, the length and the angle adjustment of the phase shifter of electrical tilt antenna have certain limit, surpass this adjusting range and will cause the phase shifter permanent damages, and existing control device of electrically adjusted antenna is eliminated above-mentioned potential safety hazard, and existing control device of electrically adjusted antenna can not accurately obtain the position that relatively moves after the phase shifter adjustment, can not eliminate the site error that phase shifter is repeatedly adjusted the back accumulation.
The utility model content
Technical problem to be solved in the utility model provides a kind of control device of electrically adjusted antenna that can prevent that phase shifter from damaging, reliability is high at above-mentioned prior art, and this control device of electrically adjusted antenna can not only accurately obtain the position that relatively moves of phase shifter, and can prevent the stuck and effective site error that accumulates after phase shifter is repeatedly adjusted of eliminating of motor.
The utility model solves the problems of the technologies described above the technical scheme that is adopted: this control device of electrically adjusted antenna, be used to receive from the control signal of the control electrical tilt antenna direction of operation maintenance center and position and control the rotation of phase shifter rotation axis on the electrical tilt antenna, comprise

It is characterized in that: the rear end of described motor rotation axis has an outward extending extension, is shaped on screw thread on this extension, and a slide block is removable to be set on the extension of motor rotation axis rear end;
Described control device of electrically adjusted antenna also comprises the limit switch that two energy are triggered by described slide block, distance between these two limit switches is consistent with described electrical tilt antenna mechanical adjustment scope, and the output of described two limit switches links to each other with described electric melody aerial lower inclination angle degree control module.
Like this, when the motor forward rotation, extension, motor rotation axis rear end drives slide block and moves to an end, and when slide block touched the limit switch of an end, this limit switch was triggered, and electric melody aerial lower inclination angle degree control module just can record the extreme position of an end; Opposite, when the motor backward rotation, extension, motor rotation axis rear end drives slide block and moves to the other end, when slide block touches the limit switch of the other end, the limit switch of the other end is triggered, and electric melody aerial lower inclination angle degree control module just can record the extreme position of the other end; Because for being rigidly connected, so the spacing position of the extreme position of motor rotation axis measurement and antenna phasing unit is corresponding between the phase shifter of electrical tilt antenna and the motor rotation axis.
Described two limit switches can be separately positioned on the extension of described motor rotation axis rear end, on the then removable motor rotation axis extension that is set between described two limit switches of described slide block.
Described two limit switches also can be separately positioned on the limiting plate that be arranged in parallel with the extension of described motor rotation axis rear end.
Described electric melody aerial lower inclination angle degree control module is a printed circuit board, the extension of this printed circuit board and described motor rotation axis rear end be arranged in parallel, and offer a strip groove on this printed circuit board, described slide block can be done rectilinear motion along the strip groove under described motor rotation axis drives, described two limit switches then can be separately positioned on two end edge of described strip groove.
As improvement, described control device of electrically adjusted antenna can also comprise that one is used to measure the position transducer of current present position of electrical tilt antenna and direction, and the output of this position transducer links to each other with described electric melody aerial lower inclination angle degree control module.
Compared with prior art; advantage of the present utility model is: measure the position of two limit switches by slide block is set; can accurately obtain the displacement of phase shifter; not only can effectively protect phase shifter can not damage; and the position of the limit switch benchmark as the phase shifter adjusting range can be calibrated the adjustment precision of phase shifter, can also effectively eliminate the site error that phase shifter is repeatedly adjusted the back accumulation; simple in structure, easy to use.
