The invention provides a phase-shifting frequency-selecting device, which can be respectively connected with phase-shifting parts of a plurality of frequency bands of a multi-frequency antenna, and the phase-shifting frequency-selecting device can accurately align the phase-shifting parts needing to be moved and stably move the phase-shifting parts, so that the phase-shifting performance of the phase-shifting parts is stable, and the adjustment accuracy of the downward inclination angle of an antenna beam is not influenced.
In the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the phase shifting frequencyselective device 10 includes abracket 20, a frequencyselective locking mechanism 30, aphase shifting rack 40 and a transmission mechanism.
Referring to fig. 1, thebracket 20 is hollow so as to support the frequency-selectinglocking mechanism 30, the phase-shiftingrack 40 and the transmission mechanism. The outer contour of thebracket 20 is approximately rectangular parallelepiped with a longitudinal shape, thebracket 20 includes anupper frame plate 21 and alower frame plate 22, and the back surface of theupper frame plate 21 faces the front surface of thelower frame plate 22.
Thephase shift rack 40 is connected with a phase shift component of the antenna, and thephase shift rack 40 moves linearly to pull the phase shift component to move, so that the phase shift component shifts the phase of the signal fed into the phase shift rack. One side of thephase shift rack 40 has external teeth, and one end of thephase shift rack 40 is connected to the phase shift part.
Thebracket 20 is provided with a slidinggroove 23 for a moving path of thephase shift rack 40, so that thephase shift rack 40 can be stably arranged on thebracket 20, thephase shift rack 40 can slide through the slidinggroove 23, and the moving path of thephase shift rack 40 is restricted. Specifically, the plurality of phase shift racks 40 are divided into two rows and disposed on the back surface of theupper frame plate 21 and the front surface of thelower frame plate 22, respectively, and theupper frame plate 21 and thelower frame plate 22 are respectively provided with the slidinggrooves 23 for the phase shift racks 40 disposed thereon to slide. The slidinggroove 23 on the reverse side of theupper frame plate 21 is arranged to protrude towards the front side of thelower frame plate 22, and the slidinggroove 23 on the front side of thelower frame plate 22 is arranged to protrude towards the reverse side of theupper frame plate 22.
Referring to fig. 5 and 6, the slidinggroove 23 includes tworibs 231, and the tworibs 231 are disposed to protrude toward the oppositeupper shelf 21 orlower shelf 22 so as to form the slidinggroove 23 protruding from theupper shelf 21 orlower shelf 22. The tworibs 231 of theslide groove 23 are parallel to each other, and the tworibs 231 are symmetrical to each other about the central axis of thephase shift rack 40 in the longitudinal direction. However, because the distance between two adjacent phase shift racks 40 in the same row is small, the plurality of slidingslots 23 in the same row are convenient to arrange, so that onerib 231 is shared between two adjacent slidingslots 23 in the same row, thereby saving the space of thebracket 20, reducing the volume of thebracket 20, and facilitating the miniaturization of the phase shiftfrequency selection device 10.
Referring to fig. 9, the two rows of phase shift racks 40 are parallel to each other, and the two rows of phase shift racks 40 are disposed in opposite directions and staggered to each other. Specifically, the distance between two adjacent phase shift racks 40 in the same row of phase shift racks 40 is equal, and the projections of the two rows of phase shift racks 40 on the front surface of thelower frame plate 22 are alternately arranged in sequence, so that the upper and lower rows of phase shift racks 40 are alternately arranged in a spatially staggered manner in opposite directions. That is, the projection of onephase shift rack 40 disposed on theupper frame plate 21 on the front surface of thelower frame plate 22 is adjacent to the projection of onephase shift rack 40 or two adjacent phase shift racks 40 on thelower frame plate 22 on the front surface of thelower frame plate 22, so that two rows of phase shift racks 40 are disposed in a staggered manner.
Referring to fig. 1, 5 and 6, thebracket 20 is provided with two rows of slidinggrooves 23 corresponding to the two rows of phase shift racks 40, and respectively arranged on theupper frame plate 21 and thelower frame plate 22 for accommodating the two rows of phase shift racks 40. The two rows of slidingchutes 23 may be correspondingly referred to the arrangement of the two rows of phase-shiftingracks 40, that is, the two rows of slidingchutes 23 are spatially alternately arranged in a staggered manner.
Because the two rows of slidingchutes 23 are staggered and arranged oppositely, and the two adjacent slidingchutes 23 in the same row share onerib 231, theribs 231 of the two rows of slidingchutes 23 are also staggered and arranged oppositely in turn in space. That is, the projections of theribs 231 of the two rows of slidinggrooves 23 on the front surface of thelower frame plate 22 are sequentially and alternately arranged, and the distances between the projections of any twoadjacent ribs 231 in the projection direction are the same.
Thebracket 20 is further provided with a limitingtooth 24 on therib 231 of the slidinggroove 23, and the limitingtooth 24 extends from the top of therib 231 to the opposite direction of theupper frame plate 21 or thelower frame plate 22. Theribs 231 of the two rows of slidinggrooves 23 on thebracket 20 are correspondingly provided with the limitingteeth 24, the structure of each limitingtooth 24 is the same, and the directions of the limitingteeth 24 in different rows are opposite. The spacing between any twoadjacent spacing teeth 24 in the same row is equal.
Because theribs 231 of the two rows of slidinggrooves 23 are alternately staggered and oppositely arranged, the limitingteeth 24 arranged at the top ends of theribs 231 are also alternately staggered and oppositely arranged corresponding to the arrangement relationship of theribs 231 of the two rows of slidinggrooves 23. Specifically, the projections of the two rows of limiting teeth on the front surface of thelower frame plate 22 are sequentially and alternately arranged, so that the upper and lower rows of limiting teeth are spatially and alternately arranged in a staggered manner and opposite to each other.
Because the width of the limitingteeth 24 along the longitudinal direction of the bracket 20 (perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the phase shift rack 40) is large, the projections of any two adjacent projections of the limitingteeth 24 overlap each other in the projection direction of the upper and lower rows of limitingteeth 24 on the front surface of thelower frame plate 22. Specifically, the projection of one limitingtooth 24 of one row of limiting teeth on the front surface of thelower frame plate 22 is adjacent to the projection of one limitingtooth 24 of the other row or the projection of two adjacent limitingteeth 24 on the front surface of thelower frame plate 22, and then the partial projection of one limitingtooth 24 of one row is overlapped with the partial projection of one limitingtooth 24 of the other row or the partial projection of two adjacent limitingteeth 24.
Specifically, when the projection of one of the limitingteeth 24 on the front surface of thelower frame plate 22 is adjacent to the projection of two adjacent limitingteeth 24 of the other row of limiting teeth, the projection of one of the limitingteeth 24 of the one row of limiting teeth is between the projections of two adjacent limitingteeth 24 of the other row, and the central axis of the projection of one of the limitingteeth 24 of the one row of limiting teeth along the longitudinal direction of thephase shift rack 40 coincides with the central axis of the projection of two adjacent limitingteeth 24 of the other row of limiting teeth along the longitudinal direction of thephase shift rack 40. And, the projections of the two rows of limit teeth in the vertical direction of thebracket 20 have a spacing.
Therefore, anaccommodating space 25 can be formed between one limitingtooth 24 of one row of limiting teeth and two adjacent limitingteeth 24 of the other row of limiting teeth adjacent to the front projection of the limiting teeth on the front surface of thelower frame plate 22. Theaccommodating space 25 is a space formed by three limitingteeth 24 in a triangular relationship, projections of the three limitingteeth 24 on the front surface of thelower frame plate 22 are adjacent to each other, and projections of the limitingteeth 24 located at the middle position (called as first limiting teeth 241) are overlapped with projections of the other two limiting teeth 24 (called as second limitingteeth 242 and third limitingteeth 243 respectively). Thefirst spacing tooth 241, thesecond spacing tooth 242 and thethird spacing tooth 243 are not located on the same row of spacing teeth when reflected to theaccommodating space 25. Eachaccommodating space 25 corresponds to onephase shift rack 40, and thephase shift rack 40 is disposed in the slidinggroove 23 formed by tworibs 231 corresponding to the second limitingteeth 242 and the third limitingteeth 243 in the same row.
In some embodiments, when theaccommodating space 25 is located at the end of thebracket 20 in the longitudinal direction, theaccommodating space 25 may further include a first limitingtooth 241, a second limitingtooth 242, and arib 231 of the slidinggroove 23 corresponding to the second limitingtooth 242 and not provided with the limitingtooth 24.

In order to enable the frequency-selectinglocking mechanism 30 to be stably arranged in theaccommodating space 25, the transmission motion between the phase-shiftinggear 32 and the phase-shiftingrack 40 is stable. The locking member 31 can be locked with the first limitingteeth 241 forming theaccommodating space 25, so that the frequency-selectinglocking mechanism 30 can be stably disposed in theaccommodating space 25.
Specifically, the locking member 31 is provided with a lockingplane 313 locked with thelimit tooth 24, and thelimit tooth 24 is provided with alimit plane 244 corresponding to the lockingplane 313. After the frequency-selectinglocking mechanism 30 enters theaccommodating space 25, the lockingplane 313 of the locking piece 31 and the limitingplane 244 of the first limitingtooth 241 are in friction contact or interference fit, so that the locking piece 31 cannot easily cross the limitingplane 244 of the first limitingtooth 241, and the frequency-selectinglocking mechanism 30 can be stably arranged in theaccommodating space 25, so that the phase-shiftinggear 32 and the phase-shiftingrack 40 are stably meshed without shaking and the phase-shifting performance is affected.
In one embodiment, referring to fig. 1 and 5, the locking member 31 is in the shape of a boss, specifically a step. The limitingteeth 24 are also in a boss shape corresponding to the locking piece 31, and the locking piece 31 is connected with therib 231 of the slidinggroove 23 corresponding to the locking piece 31, and forms a T-shaped structure on the cross section.

Moreover, one limitingtooth 24 on theupper frame plate 21 and two limitingteeth 24 on thelower frame plate 22 adjacent to the limitingtooth 24 in the projection direction of thelower frame plate 22 can form an accommodating space 25 (the accommodating space is called as a first accommodating space 251); an accommodating space (called as a second accommodating space 252) can be formed between one limiting tooth on thelower frame plate 22 and two limitingteeth 24 on theupper frame plate 21 adjacent to the limiting tooth in the projection direction of thelower frame plate 22.
Thebracket 20 is provided with a plurality of firstaccommodating spaces 251 and a plurality of secondaccommodating spaces 252, and the plurality of firstaccommodating spaces 251 and the plurality of secondaccommodating spaces 252 are alternately arranged, so that the frequency-selectinglocking mechanism 30 can be sequentially aligned and meshed with one phase-shiftingrack 40 of a row of phase-shifting racks corresponding to the firstaccommodating spaces 251 and one phase-shiftingrack 40 of a row of phase-shifting racks corresponding to the secondaccommodating spaces 252.
Thefirst receiving space 251 and thesecond receiving space 252 are opposite in structure, and specifically, the first limitingtooth 2511 of thefirst receiving space 251 is disposed on theupper frame plate 21, the first limitingtooth 2521 of thesecond receiving space 252 is disposed on thelower frame plate 22, the second limiting tooth 2512 and the third limiting tooth 2513 of thefirst receiving space 251 are disposed on thelower frame plate 22, and the second limitingtooth 2522 and the third limitingtooth 2523 of thesecond receiving space 252 are disposed on theupper frame plate 21.
Referring to fig. 1, two limitingteeth 24 are shared between the adjacent first receivingspaces 251 and thesecond receiving spaces 252, the two shared limitingteeth 24 are respectively a first limitingtooth 2511 of thefirst receiving space 251 and a first limitingtooth 2521 of thesecond receiving space 252, that is, the first limitingtooth 2511 of thefirst receiving space 251 is a second limitingtooth 2522 or a third limitingtooth 2523 of thesecond receiving space 252, and the first limitingtooth 2521 of thesecond receiving space 252 is a second limiting tooth 2512 or a third limiting tooth 2513 of thefirst receiving space 251.

The frequency-selectinglocking mechanism 30 is provided with two locking pieces 31, the two locking pieces 31 of the frequency-selectinglocking mechanism 30 are connected, and the two locking pieces 31 are in a symmetrical structure about the central axis of the longitudinal direction of thebracket 20.

When the frequency-selectinglocking mechanism 30 enters the firstaccommodating space 251 and the phase-shiftinggear 32 is engaged with the phase-shiftingrack 40 corresponding to the firstaccommodating space 251, thefirst locking member 311 is locked with the first limiting tooth of the firstaccommodating space 251, thesecond locking member 312 is opposite to the second limiting tooth 2512 and the third limiting tooth 2513 of the firstaccommodating space 251 in orientation, and thesecond locking member 312 is not contacted with the second limiting tooth 2512 and the third limiting tooth 2513, that is, thesecond locking member 312 is not contacted with the slidingslot 23 corresponding to the second limiting tooth 2512 and the third limiting tooth 2513, further, thesecond locking member 312 is not contacted with the phase-shiftingrack 40 located in the slidingslot 23, so that the second limiting tooth 2512 and the third limiting tooth 2513 do not interfere with the engagement between the phase-shiftinggear 32 and the phase-shiftingrack 40. That is, thesecond lock member 312 has an escape clearance from thephase shift rack 40 engaged with thephase shift gear 32, so that thesecond lock member 312 does not interfere with the transmission relationship between thephase shift gear 32 and thephase shift gear 32.
When the frequency-selectinglocking mechanism 30 enters the secondaccommodating space 252 and the phase-shiftinggear 32 is engaged with the phase-shiftingrack 40 corresponding to the secondaccommodating space 252, thesecond locking member 312 is locked with the first limitingtooth 2521 of the secondaccommodating space 252, thefirst locking member 311 is opposite to the second limitingtooth 2522 and the third limitingtooth 2523 of the secondaccommodating space 252 in orientation, thefirst locking member 311 is not in contact with the second limitingtooth 2522 and the third limitingtooth 2523, that is, thefirst locking member 311 is not in contact with the slidingslot 23 corresponding to the second limitingtooth 2522 and the third limitingtooth 2523, further, thefirst locking member 311 is not in contact with the phase-shiftingrack 40 located in the slidingslot 23, so that the second limitingtooth 2522 and the third limitingtooth 2523 do not interfere with the engagement between thegear 32 and the phase-shiftingrack 40. That is, thefirst locking member 311 has an escape gap with theshift rack 40 engaged with theshift gear 32, so that thefirst locking member 311 does not interfere with the transmission relationship between theshift gear 32 and theshift gear 32.
