Description

MIMETIC CONTAINER FOR MOBILE TELEPHONE EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION The present invention refers to a container intended to house inside the equipment that make up a mobile telephone base station, in the specific case in which said station must be installed on public roads and conveniently protected from the surrounding environment.

The object of the invention is to achieve a container that, in addition to fulfilling its function as such receiving element of the said mobile telephone equipment, offers the external appearance of an urban furniture, of the type of which they provide information and / or advertising, and comply with this double function.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION As is known, outdoor containers to house the equipment of a mobile telephone base station, when they need to be installed in urban areas, such installation is usually carried out on roofs of buildings in order to cause as little visual impact as possible. There are situations in which for various reasons, such as the non-granting of permission by the communication of owners of the building in which the equipment must be installed, the only possibility of installing them is in a cabin at street level. In these situations, the granting by the city councils of the permit to carry out the installation will depend to a large extent on the visual impact that the cabin that will house the telecommunication equipment that will form the base station for mobile telephony will cause.

A weatherproof container of this type is the one that shows Utility Model U 201100046, which is owned by the requesting entity itself, compartment compartmentalized in rooms with differentiated thermal conditioning for batteries, for general equipment and for heat-sensitive equipment.

However, this outdoor container does not offer optimal presentations from the point of view of mimicry with respect to the surrounding environment, ie it is not properly integrated into the context of the urban furniture of a city.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The weather container proposed by the invention solves in a fully satisfactory manner the aforementioned problems, in addition to presenting other additional advantages that will emerge from the present description.

Due to the fact that in urban areas it is usual the presence of urban furniture with information and / or publicity, it has been foreseen that the container proposed by the invention offers the appearance of an urban furniture of this type, being also structured in order to meet the double function of cabinet or container for telecommunication equipment, and on the other hand that of an element that provides information and / or publicity at street level in a classic way.

For this purpose and in a more specific way, the weatherproof container that recommends the particularity of being equipped with two front doors, an interior door that closes the inside of the cabinet and therefore protects the equipment from the outside, and another exterior door that gives access to the poster area of advertising. Both the interior and exterior doors are supported by stainless steel hinges, which provide high security. Both doors are equipped with four-point locking systems. The inner door has a handle with a lock, while the outside is operated directly with a carry. In the interior door, luminaires are available to backlight the advertising poster or information on the exterior door of the cabin. Each door opens with a different key, so it can be affirmed that there are two levels of access to the closet, a first level to open only the exterior door by the staff that is in charge of the situation of the informative / advertising posters and a second level to open in addition to the outer door also the inner door for the technicians who are in charge of repair and maintenance tasks of the equipment housed inside the cabinet. Indicate that the luminaires are located just behind a translucent methacrylate sheet and the methacrylate sheet is hinged with screws so that the operator who is responsible for changing the posters (first level access) can also be able to replace any luminaire in case of failure.

According to another of the features of the invention and compared to the three compartments provided in the Utility Model U 201100046 cited above, in the space of the container, that corresponding to telecommunications equipment, four behaviors are established, one destined for remote radio units (RRU's), another destined to delicate equipment, a third destined to refrigerated equipment in a conventional way, and a fourth compartment established at the level of the base of the container for the location of the batteries.

DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES In order to complement the description that will be made next and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred practical embodiment thereof, a set of figures is included as an integral part of said description. where, with illustrative and non-limiting character, the following has been represented: Figure 1 shows a schematic and perspective representation of an urban outdoor furniture container made according to the object of the invention, with the two doors open and also between them the open methacrylate to allow access to the fluorescent tubes.

Figure 2 shows a silver view of the same container with the doors open, as shown in Figure 1.

Figure 3 shows a schematic representation in elevation of the interior of the container in which the 4 climatic zones are distinguished.

THE INVENTION As seen in the figures referred to, in particular in figures 1 and 2, the weather container proposed by the invention is provided with a body (1), of appropriate capacity, with a general prismatic-rectangular configuration and a lower base ( 2), similar to an urban furniture of those used to supply information and / or advertising, furniture provided with two access doors, an exterior (3) and an interior one (4), so that the latter gives access to the area of location of the telecommunication equipment, and has a lock (5) that makes such an enclosure exclusively accessible by maintenance personnel of the mobile telephone base station, while the external door (3), mostly transparent, gives access to the area of the container for information and / or advertising, in which an intermediate gate (6) is established which constitutes the physical support for the advertising posters and / or informative and after which the luminaires (7) that enhance the visualization of the messages are placed, logically being the aforementioned methacrylate gate (6) of translucent nature and being suitably hinged to allow access to the luminaires (7).

It only remains to point out, finally, that, as can be observed in particular in Figure 3, the rear area of the outdoor container, located behind the inner door (4), is divided into four clearly differentiated areas, the references with (8,9, 10 and 11) in said figure 3, the first of them (8) intended for remote radio units (RRU's) and cooled by forced ventilation, the second zone (9) destined to the location of delicate equipment and cooled by a system of "free cooling" or Peltier effect, depending on the existing temperature, the third zone (10) cooled by forced ventilation, and finally the fourth zone (11) in which the batteries are placed, provided with a thermal conditioner that produces cold by Peltier effect and occupied the base (2) of the urban furniture.
