- the XX 'axis of the cylindrical support 52 passing through the center 59 of the cylindrical support 52 is in the first domain 57 located on the side of the reflector 51 of the antenna.

Abstract
Description
La présente invention se rapporte à une antenne à réflecteur parabolique, et notamment à un système pour le montage d'une telle antenne sur un support cylindrique, tel qu'un mât tubulaire par exemple.The present invention relates to a parabolic reflector antenna, and in particular to a system for mounting such an antenna on a cylindrical support, such as a tubular mast for example.
Les antennes placées à l'extérieur sont reliés à des boîtes radio dites ODU (pour "OutDoor Unit" en anglais) afin de traiter le signal radiofréquence reçu ou à transmettre. Ces boîtes radio contrôlent l'entrée et la sortie de l'antenne. Jusqu'à récemment, ces boîtes radio étaient fixées sur le mât tubulaire à distance de l'antenne, puis connectées à l'antenne au moyen d'un câble souple, comme par exemple un câble de marque Flextwist ®) commercialisé par la société RADIO FREQUENCY SYSTEM.The antennas placed outside are connected to radio boxes called ODU (for "OutDoor Unit" in English) to process the radio frequency signal received or to be transmitted. These radio boxes control the input and output of the antenna. Until recently, these radio boxes were fixed on the tubular mast away from the antenna, and then connected to the antenna by means of a flexible cable, such as a Flextwist ® brand cable marketed by the company RADIO FREQUENCY SYSTEM.
Ce type d'installation a tendance à disparaître au profit d'antennes intégrées. Cela signifie que les boîtes radio sont placées directement contre l'arrière de l'antenne. Par ailleurs les opérateurs déploient un nouveau type d'installation consistant à utiliser un transducteur orthomode dit OMT (pour "Orthogonal Mode Transducer" en anglais). L'antenne peut ainsi porter plusieurs boîtes radio simultanément. Cette nouvelle position des boîtes radio, et surtout en présence d'un transducteur OMT, pose un problème d'encombrement et conduit à l'absence de dégagement d'une part entre les boîtes de radio et le transducteur OMT et d'autre part entre l'antenne et son dispositif de fixation sur le mât tubulaire.This type of installation tends to disappear in favor of integrated antennas. This means that the radio boxes are placed directly against the back of the antenna. In addition, the operators deploy a new type of installation consisting of using an orthomode transducer known as OMT (for "Orthogonal Mode Transducer"). The antenna can thus carry several radio boxes simultaneously. This new position of the radio boxes, and especially in the presence of an OMT transducer, poses a congestion problem and leads to the lack of clearance on the one hand between the radio boxes and the OMT transducer and on the other hand between the antenna and its fixing device on the tubular mast.
La solution utilisée actuellement consiste à ajouter une plaque intermédiaire ou à rallonger les pièces de montage afin d'augmenter la distance, appelé déport, entre l'axe de la parabole du réflecteur de l'antenne et l'axe longitudinal au centre du mât tubulaire. Mais le principal inconvénient de cette solution est l'impact sur les performances mécaniques de l'antenne. En effet, dans les conditions dites « opérationnelles » (vent, choc, forts écarts de température, déformation d'un élément ou surcharge quelconque), l'antenne doit satisfaire à des contraintes d'alignement afin de garantir la bonne transmission du signal, et l'augmentation du déport nuit à la qualité de ce pointage. De la même façon, sous des conditions extrêmes dites de « survie », certaines perturbations peuvent accroître le risque d'un dépointage de l'antenne ou d'une rotation de celle-ci autour du mât tubulaire, ce risque est d'autant plus amplifié que le déport est grand.The solution currently used is to add an intermediate plate or to lengthen the mounting parts to increase the distance, called offset, between the axis of the antenna reflector parabolic and the longitudinal axis in the center of the tubular mast . But the main disadvantage of this solution is the impact on the mechanical performance of the antenna. Indeed, in the so-called "operational" conditions (wind, shock, large temperature differences, deformation of an element or any overload), the antenna must satisfy alignment constraints in order to guarantee the good transmission of the signal, and the increase of the offset hurts the quality of this score. In the same way, under extreme conditions called "survival", some disturbances may increase the risk of a misalignment of the antenna or a rotation thereof around the tubular mast, this risk is all the more amplified that the offset is big.
La présente invention a pour but d'éliminer les inconvénients précités. Dans ce but, l'invention propose un système de montage, qui offre un encombrement réduit en diminuant le déport et préserve néanmoins le dégagement nécessaire entre les boîtes radio et l'antenne. Le système de montage permet de régler l'alignement de l'antenne et de conserver toutes les propriétés mécaniques de l'antenne.The present invention aims to eliminate the aforementioned drawbacks. For this purpose, the invention proposes a mounting system, which offers a small footprint by reducing the offset and nevertheless preserves the necessary clearance between the radio boxes and the antenna. The mounting system adjusts the antenna alignment and maintains all the mechanical properties of the antenna.

La présente invention a comme avantage de permettre l'utilisation de l'espace laissé libre derrière l'antenne afin d'y placer le dispositif de fixation. Ce système de montage évite le manque de dégagement vis-à-vis du support cylindrique quel que soit le volume et les dimensions de la boîte radio, et le nombre de boîte radio. Le système de montage est utilisable pour toutes les gammes de fréquence, et en particulier dans le domaine des basses fréquences où les boîtes radio sont les plus grandes. L'invention permet aussi une évolution de l'antenne notamment en permettant une augmentation du volume et du nombre de boîtes radio, mais aussi l'ajout d'accessoires supplémentaires.The present invention has the advantage of allowing the use of the space left free behind the antenna to place the fixing device. This mounting system avoids the lack of clearance vis-à-vis the cylindrical support whatever the volume and dimensions of the radio box, and the number of radio boxes.

Dans le cas illustré ici, l'axe X-X' vertical du support cylindrique 32 passant par le centre 39 d'une section transversale du support cylindrique 32 se trouve dans le premier domaine 37 situé du côté du réflecteur 31 de l'antenne.Consider a

Un dispositif de montage est illustré sur les
Le réflecteur parabolique 51 de l'antenne, ayant une ouverture de diamètre environ un mètre, est fixé sur le support cylindrique 52 au moyen d'un dispositif de montage 60. Le dispositif de montage 60 comporte un premier moyen de fixation 61 du dispositif de montage 60 sur l'antenne, et un deuxième moyen de fixation 62 du dispositif de montage sur le support cylindrique 52. Le premier moyen de fixation 61 et le deuxième moyen de fixation 62 sont reliés par un moyen de liaison 63. The
Le deuxième moyen de fixation 62 comprend au moins une bride 64A inférieure et au moins une bride de maintien 64B, 64C supérieure coopérant avec des moyens de serrage 65, tels que des boulons et écrous, serrées à un couple de serrage prédéfini de telle sorte que, une fois installée et orientée, l'antenne ne puisse plus tourner autour du support cylindrique 52, ni glisser le long de celui-ci. Le deuxième moyen de fixation 62 possède en outre une autre fonction qui est d'éviter la chute de l'antenne lors de son installation sur le support cylindrique 52. La fonction antichute est obtenue par le serrage d'un collier 70 entourant le support cylindrique dont les deux extrémités sont reliées à la bride 64A du deuxième moyen de fixation 62 qui se trouve le plus bas, par exemple par une fixation de type boulon-écrou.The second fixing means 62 comprises at least one

Le moyen de réglage de l'azimut dans le plan horizontal comprend une tige à oeil 71 dont une extrémité est supportée par la console 68 et l'autre extrémité est fixée sur la bride 64A du deuxième moyen de fixation 62 qui se trouve le plus bas, par exemple par une fixation de type boulon-écrou. Le serrage/desserrage de la fixation de la tige à l'oeil 70 sur la bride 64A permet de libérer la rotation de l'antenne autour de l'axe X-X' vertical du support cylindrique 52. Avantageusement cette configuration permet de faire tourner librement l'antenne autour du support cylindrique 52 pour effectuer un réglage de l'azimut, sans que la distance du réflecteur 51 et du boitier radio 53 au support cylindrique 52 ne change aussi bien pendant le réglage qu'une fois le réglage effectué.The means for adjusting the azimuth in the horizontal plane comprises an

Pour des réflecteurs d'antenne de diamètre inférieur à un mètre, les efforts dus à l'action du vent sur l'antenne sont moindre. Il devient alors possible d'alléger le dispositif de montage 60, par exemple en réduisant le nombre de brides dans le deuxième moyen de fixation 62, tout en préservant la tenue mécanique de l'antenne. Dans le mode de réalisation précédemment décrit, le deuxième moyen de fixation 62 comporte deux brides de maintien 64B, 64C et une bride 64AB, placée en-dessous, pour la fonction antichute. Pour des réflecteurs d'antenne ayant un diamètre d'ouverture de 30 cm ou 65 cm par exemple, on peut utiliser seulement une bride de maintien et la bride antichute.For antenna reflectors with a diameter of less than one meter, the forces due to the action of the wind on the antenna are less. It then becomes possible to lighten the mounting
Bien entendu, la présente invention n'est pas limitée aux modes de réalisation décrits et représentés, mais elle est susceptible de nombreuses variantes accessibles à l'homme de l'art sans que l'on s'écarte de l'esprit de l'invention. En particulier, on pourra sans sortir du cadre de l'invention adapter le nombre et la résistance mécanique des pièces du dispositif de montage en fonction des propriétés mécaniques d'antennes ayant notamment des réflecteurs de différents modèles et diamètres. On pourra aussi modifier légèrement la forme géométrique des pièces dans la mesure où cela n'affecte pas leur fonction et leur coopération avec les autres pièces.Of course, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described and shown, but it is capable of many variants accessible to those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the invention. In particular, without departing from the scope of the invention, the number and the mechanical strength of the parts of the mounting device can be adapted according to the mechanical properties of antennas having in particular reflectors of different models and diameters. We can also slightly modify the geometric shape of the parts as it does not affect their function and their cooperation with other parts.
