Definitions

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • ODU for "OutDoor Unit” in English
  • These radio boxes control the input and output of the antenna.
  • 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.
  • This type of installation tends to disappear in favor of integrated antennas.
  • the operators deploy a new type of installation consisting of using an orthomode transducer known as OMT (for "Orthogonal Mode Transducer").
  • OMT orthomode transducer
  • the antenna can thus carry several radio boxes simultaneously.
  • the solution currently used is to add an intermediate plate or to lengthen the mounting parts to increase the distance, called the offset, between the axis of the antenna reflector parabolic and the longitudinal axis in the center of the tubular mast .
  • 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.
  • a device comprising a box whose bottom is shaped with a recess constituting the reflector of the antenna.
  • the box is mounted on one or two masts by a plate screwed on its side wall and the antenna is in front of the axis XX of the mast or masts.
  • the present invention aims to eliminate the aforementioned drawbacks.
  • 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.
  • the axis X-X 'of the vertical cylindrical support is included in the tangent plane or in the field located on the side of the antenna relative to the tangent plane.
  • 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.
  • the editing system is usable for all frequency ranges, and particularly in the low frequency range where the radio boxes are the largest.
  • the invention also allows an evolution of the antenna including allowing an increase in the volume and number of radio boxes, but also the addition of additional accessories.
  • the first fixing means comprises an interface intended to cooperate with a radio box, so that the reflector, the interface and the radio box are aligned along the axis YY 'of the reflector when the antenna is mounted.
  • the connecting means comprises a lateral member, fixed on the interface, which extends perpendicular to the axis YY '.
  • the connecting means further comprises a bracket cooperating with the lateral member.
  • the connecting means comprises means for adjusting the inclination.
  • the inclination adjusting means comprises a threaded rod cooperating with a finger to produce a rotational movement about a Z-Z axis pin perpendicular to the Y-Y axis of the reflector.
  • the second fixing means comprises means for adjusting the azimuth in the horizontal plane.
  • the azimuth adjustment means comprises an eye rod supported by the bracket and fixed to a lower flange of the second fastening means.
  • the second attachment means comprises a fall arrest means comprising a collar connected to a flange of the second fixing means.
  • the invention is illustrated in the following description in the case of a microwave antenna parabolic reflector, but it applies to other types of antenna such as a panel antenna for example.
  • a parabolic reflector antenna 1 of axis YY ' is fixed on a vertical cylindrical support 2 of axis X-X', such as a tubular mast.
  • a radio box 3 is contiguous at the top 4 of the parabola of the reflector 1 via an interface 5 placed at the rear of the antenna.
  • FIGS. 3 and 4 illustrate another embodiment in which a parabolic reflector antenna 31 of axis YY 'is fixed on a vertical cylindrical support 32 of axis X-X', such as a tubular mast.
  • a radio box 33 is contiguous at the top 34 of the parabola of the reflector 31 via an interface 35 placed at the rear of the antenna.
  • this embodiment makes it possible to completely clear the domain 38 at the rear of the antenna to place the radio boxes there.
  • a mounting device is illustrated on the Figures 5 to 7 in the embodiment of the figure 3 .
  • a parabolic reflector antenna 51 of axis YY ' is fixed on a vertical cylindrical support 52 of axis X-X', such as a tubular mast.
  • a radio box 53 is contiguous at the top 54 of the parabola of the reflector 51 via an interface 55 placed at the rear of the antenna.
  • the vertical plane 56 tangential to the vertex 54 of the parabola of the reflector 51 defines a first domain 57 located on the side of the reflector 51 of the antenna and a second domain 58 located on the side of the radio box 53.
  • 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.
  • the parabolic reflector 51 of the antenna having an aperture with a diameter of about one meter, is fixed on the cylindrical support 52 by means of a mounting device 60.
  • the mounting device 60 comprises a first fixing means 61 of the mounting 60 on the antenna, and a second fixing means 62 of the mounting device on the cylindrical support 52.
  • the first fixing means 61 and the second fixing means 62 are connected by a connecting means 63.
  • the second fixing means 62 comprises at least one lower flange 64A and at least one upper holding flange 64B, 64C cooperating with clamping means 65, such as bolts and nuts, tightened to a predefined tightening torque so that once installed and oriented, the antenna can not rotate around the cylindrical support 52, nor slide along it.
  • the second attachment means 62 also has another function which is to prevent the fall of the antenna during its installation on the cylindrical support 52.
  • the fall arrest function is obtained by clamping a collar 70 surrounding the cylindrical support whose two ends are connected to the flange 64A of the second attachment means 62 which is the lowest, for example by a bolt-nut fastener.
  • the mounting device 60 is fixed to the rear of the parabolic reflector 51 of the antenna by means of the first fixing means 61.
  • the interface 55 belonging to the first fixing means 61, adopts here substantially the shape of a thick disc which is attached and fixed on the top of the parabolic reflector by a fastening means such as a plurality of screws, rivets or bolts 66.
  • the interface could adopt any other shape adapted to the shape of the antenna and for connecting the reflector of the antenna to at least one radio box, such as a thick quadrilateral for example.
  • the radio box 53 may be attached to the opposite face of the interface 55, for example by screws, rivets or bolts associated with nuts. It is understood that the reflector 51, the interface 55 and the radio box 53 are then solidly aligned along the axis YY 'when the antenna is mounted, the connection to the cylindrical support 52 being effected laterally.
  • the exploded view of the mounting device 60 shown in FIG. figure 7 shows in detail the connecting means 63 which connects the second attachment means 62 to the first securing means 61.
  • the connecting means 63 comprises a lateral member 67, which here has a substantially trapezoidal shape.
  • the wider side of the lateral member 67 is attached to the perimeter of the interface 55 which it is secured, so that the lateral member 67 extends perpendicular to the axis YY 'of the reflector 51.
  • the narrowest side of the lateral member 67 is connected to the console 68 of the connecting means 63.
  • the connecting means 63 also allows fine adjustment of the inclination and azimuth by rotation of the antenna around the cylindrical support 52.
  • the means for adjusting the azimuth in the horizontal plane comprises an eye rod 71 whose one end is supported by the bracket 68 and the other end is fixed on the flange 64A of the second fixing means 62 which is the lowest for example by a fastener type bolt-nut.
  • the tightening / loosening of the attachment of the rod to the eye 70 on the flange 64A frees the rotation of the antenna around the vertical axis XX 'of the cylindrical support 52.
  • this configuration makes it possible to freely rotate the antenna around the cylindrical support 52 to perform an azimuth adjustment, without the distance of the reflector 51 and the radio box 53 to the cylindrical support 52 changes as well during the adjustment once adjustment is made.
  • the figure 8 illustrates a partial enlarged view of the mounting device 60 showing the adjustment means 80 of the inclination in the vertical plane (also called “tilt").
  • the means for adjusting the inclination in the vertical plane comprises a pin 81, a finger 82 and a threaded rod 83 such as a bolt associated with a nut.
  • the pin 81, axis ZZ 'and connected to the center of the console 68, serves as a pivot for the rotation of the console 68 secured to the reflector 51 of the antenna for the fine adjustment of the inclination.
  • the axis ZZ ' is perpendicular to the axis YY' of the reflector 51 and crosses the vertical axis XX 'of the cylindrical support 52.
  • the finger 82 is disposed perpendicularly to the threaded rod 83 and supported by a fork 84 of the console 68 of the connecting means 63.
  • the finger 82 moves laterally along the threaded rod 83 in one direction or the other, causing the rotation of the console 68, around the axis ZZ 'of the pin 81.
  • the reflector 51 of the antenna and the radio box 53 fixed on the mounting device 60 are then also moved in rotation about the axis ZZ' in the same way.
  • the second attachment means 62 comprises two holding flanges 64B, 64C and a flange 64AB, placed below, for the fall arrest function.
  • the second attachment means 62 comprises two holding flanges 64B, 64C and a flange 64AB, placed below, for the fall arrest function.
  • 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.
  • 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.
