Angle adjustable communication equipment

The present invention relates to a communication device, and in particular to an angle-adjustable communication device.

When existing communication devices are mounted on a pole, most of them cannot adjust the tilt angle, or further have a complex rotation mechanism to change the tilt angle. However, the rotation mechanism used in existing communication devices is not only complex in structure but also has low operational flexibility. Therefore, the inventors of the present invention believe that the above defects can be improved, and have conducted intensive research and applied scientific principles, and finally proposed a reasonable design and effective improvement of the above defects.

The present invention provides an angle-adjustable communication device, which can effectively improve the defects that may occur in existing communication devices.

An embodiment of the present invention discloses an angle-adjustable communication device, which includes: a rod body; a communication device, including an upper connecting part and a lower connecting part corresponding to the upper connecting part; and at least one angle adjustment member fixed to at least one of the upper connecting part and the lower connecting part; wherein the communication device is arranged on the rod body through the upper connecting part, the lower connecting part, and at least one angle adjustment member; wherein, when at least one angle adjustment member is fixed to the upper connecting part, the connection length of the upper connecting part and the at least one angle adjustment member can be greater than the length of the lower connecting part, so that the communication device forms a downward tilt angle; wherein, when at least one angle adjustment member is fixed to the lower connecting part, the connection length of the lower connecting part and the at least one angle adjustment member can be greater than the length of the upper connecting part, so that the communication device forms an upward tilt angle.

The embodiment of the present invention also discloses an angle-adjustable communication device, which includes: a rod body; a communication device, including an upper connecting part and a lower connecting part arranged corresponding to the upper connecting part; and two angle adjustment parts, including a first angle adjustment part and a second angle adjustment part, the first angle adjustment part and the second angle adjustment part are respectively pivoted to the upper connecting part and the lower connecting part along a rotation axis; wherein the communication device is arranged on the rod body through the upper connecting part, the lower connecting part, and the two angle adjustment parts; wherein, when the communication device rotates to the left or to the right with respect to the two angle adjustment parts with the rotation axis as the axis, the communication device can form a left tilt angle or a right tilt angle respectively.

In summary, the angle-adjustable communication device disclosed in the embodiment of the present invention can be designed with a simple structure (e.g., the angle adjustment member is fixed to one of the upper connecting portion and the lower connecting portion so that its connection length can be greater than the length of the other of the upper connecting portion and the lower connecting portion; or, the two angle adjustment members are respectively pivoted to the upper connecting portion and the lower connecting portion along the rotation axis) so that the communication device can form different directional tilt angles (e.g., the lower tilt angle, the upper tilt angle, the left tilt angle, or the right tilt angle) relative to the rod body according to actual needs.

[Example 1]

Please refer to Figures 1 to 7, which are the first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figures 1 to 3, this embodiment discloses an angle-adjustable communication device 100, which includes a rod 1, a communication device 2 disposed on the rod 1, at least one fixing member 3 disposed on the communication device 2, and an angle adjustment member 4 mounted on the communication device 2 through at least one fixing member 3. In this embodiment, the rod 1 is cylindrical and is described as a telegraph pole, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

The communication device 2 includes a device body 21, a transmission cable 22 connected to the device body 21, a connector 23 installed on the device body 21, and a plurality of strips 24 installed on the connector 23. In this embodiment, the device body 21 is used for radio frequency (RF) signal transmission, the transmission cable 22 is connected to the bottom edge of the device body 21 and penetrates into the rod 1, and the number of the strips 24 is described as multiple (such as two), but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the number of the strips 24 can be at least one, and can be adjusted and changed according to design requirements.

The connector 23 includes a fixing portion 231, and an upper connecting portion 232 and a lower connecting portion 233 connected to the fixing portion 231, and the upper connecting portion 232 and the lower connecting portion 233 are disposed corresponding to each other, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, in other embodiments not shown in the present invention, the fixing portion 231 can be omitted, and the upper connecting portion 232 and the lower connecting portion 233 are directly disposed on the back side 212 of the device body 21 (which is located on the opposite side of the signal emitting surface 211 of the device body 21).

In this embodiment, the connecting member 23 is a U-shaped structure formed by stamping and bending a metal sheet; that is, the upper connecting portion 232 and the lower connecting portion 233 are respectively vertically connected to the two ends of the fixing portion 231. The upper connecting portion 232 and the lower connecting portion 233 are both perpendicular to the back surface 212 of the device body 21, and the upper connecting portion 232 and the lower connecting portion 233 are preferably arranged in a mirror-symmetrical manner relative to the fixing portion 231, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

Furthermore, the fixing portion 231 is mounted (e.g., locked) on the back side 212 of the device body 21, and the fixing portion 231 in this embodiment includes two openings 2311 and two bridges 2312 respectively located in the two openings 2311. The two ends of each bridge 2312 are connected to the edge of the opening 2311, and each bridge 2312 is bent in a direction away from the back side 212.

Accordingly, the two belt bodies 24 can respectively pass through the two bridge bodies 2312 of the fixing portion 231 to place the device body 21 on the rod body 1 (e.g., hang the device body 21 on the rod body 1). It should be noted that the number of the bridge bodies 2312 in this embodiment can correspond to (e.g., be equal to) the number of the belt bodies 24, so the number of the bridge bodies 2312 can be at least one and can be adjusted according to design requirements.

The angle adjustment member 4 is in the form of a sheet in this embodiment and its outer profile is equal to the outer profile of the upper connecting portion 232 and the outer profile of the lower connecting portion 233. The angle adjustment member 4 is formed with a plurality of slots 41 arranged approximately along a transverse direction D1, and the fixing member 3 is illustrated as a screw (or bolt) in this embodiment, and the number of the screws can be adjusted according to actual needs, so that each slot 41 can be equipped with a fixing member 3 or be empty according to needs.

For example, in FIG. 2 of the present embodiment, each of the two slots 41 located on the outer side of the angle adjustment member 4 is provided with a fixing member 3, and the installer can selectively fix the angle adjustment member 4 to one of the upper connecting portion 232 and the lower connecting portion 233. Alternatively, in other embodiments not shown in the present invention, the angle adjustment member 4 can also be provided with a fixing member 3 through the slot 41 located in the center to fix the angle adjustment member 4 to one of the upper connecting portion 232 and the lower connecting portion 233.

Furthermore, the communication device 2 can be installed on the rod 1 through the upper connecting portion 232, the lower connecting portion 233, and the angle adjusting member 4. In more detail, as shown in FIG4 and FIG5, when the angle adjusting member 4 is fixed to the upper connecting portion 232, the connection length of the upper connecting portion 232 and the angle adjusting member 4 can be greater than the length of the lower connecting portion 233, so that the communication device 2 forms a downward tilt angle σ1. Alternatively, as shown in FIG6 and FIG7, when the angle adjusting member 4 is fixed to the lower connecting portion 233, the connection length of the lower connecting portion 233 and the angle adjusting member 4 can be greater than the length of the upper connecting portion 232, so that the communication device 2 forms an upward tilt angle σ2.

Accordingly, the angle-adjustable communication device 100 disclosed in the present embodiment can be designed with a simple structure (e.g., the angle adjustment member 4 is fixed to one of the upper connecting portion 232 and the lower connecting portion 233 so that its connection length can be greater than the length of the other of the upper connecting portion 232 and the lower connecting portion 233) so that the communication device 2 can form the downward tilt angle σ1 or the upward tilt angle σ2 relative to the rod body 1 as required.

It should be noted that after the angle adjusting member 4 is installed on the connecting member 23, its relative position can directly form the upward tilt angle σ2 and the downward tilt angle σ1 without adjustment; or, the upward tilt angle σ2 and the downward tilt angle σ1 can also be formed after the angle adjusting member 4 is installed on the connecting member 23 by adjusting the relative position between the angle adjusting member 4 and the upper connecting portion 232 or the lower connecting portion 233 to which it is fixed.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 , each of the slots 41 has a first position 411 and a second position 412 different from the first position 411. In this embodiment, each of the slots 41 is a strip-shaped structure perpendicular to the transverse direction D1 and defines a configuration direction D2; the first position 411 and the second position 412 are located at opposite ends of the slot 41, respectively, and the first position 411 is far from the device body 21, while the second position 412 is adjacent to the device body 21.

As shown in Figures 2, 4, and 6, when the fixing member 3 is disposed at the first position 411 of the slot 41, the angle adjustment member 4 is stacked with one of the upper connecting portion 232 and the lower connecting portion 233 and the upper connecting length L1 is approximately equal to the lower connecting length L2, and the communication device 2 does not tilt.

In more detail, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 4 , when the fixing member 3 is disposed at the first position 411 of the slot 41, the angle adjusting member 4 is stacked with the upper connecting portion 232 to which it is fixed (that is, the angle adjusting member 4 is disposed on the upper connecting portion 232, and the end edge 42 of the angle adjusting member 4 abutting against the rod 1 does not protrude from the end edge of the upper connecting portion 232), so that the upper connecting length L1 is substantially equal to the lower connecting length L2. It is worth noting that the length of the upper connecting portion 232, the length of the lower connecting portion 233 and the length of the angle adjusting member 4 are substantially the same, so the communication device 2 does not tilt.

Alternatively, as shown in Figures 2 and 6, when the fixing member 3 is arranged at the first position 411 of the slot 41, the angle adjustment member 4 and the lower connecting portion 233 to which it is fixed are stacked (that is, the angle adjustment member 4 is arranged on the lower connecting portion 233, and the end edge 42 of the angle adjustment member 4 does not protrude from the end edge of the lower connecting portion 233), so that the upper connection length L1 is approximately equal to the lower connection length L2.

As described above, when the fixing member 3 is disposed at the first position 411 of the slot 41 , the end edge 42 of the angle adjusting member 4 in this embodiment is aligned with the edge of the upper connecting portion 232 or the lower connecting portion 233 to which it is fixed.

As shown in Figures 2, 5, and 7, when the fixing member 3 is disposed at the second position 412 of the slot 41, the angle adjusting member 4 is staggeredly connected to one of the upper connecting portion 232 and the lower connecting portion 233 and its connection length (in the configuration direction D2) is greater than the length of the other one of the upper connecting portion 232 and the lower connecting portion 233 (in the configuration direction D2) (that is, the upper connection length L1 is greater than or less than the lower connection length L2), so that the communication device 2 generates the downward tilt angle σ1 or the upward tilt angle σ2.

In more detail, as shown in Figures 2 and 5, when the fixing member 3 is arranged at the second position 412 of the slot 41, the angle adjustment member 4 is staggeredly connected to the upper connecting portion 232 to which it is fixed (that is, the end edge 42 of the angle adjustment member 4 protrudes out of the end edge of the upper connecting portion 232), so that the connection length between the upper connecting portion 232 and the angle adjustment member 4 is greater than the length of the lower connecting portion 233 (that is: the upper connection length L1 is greater than the lower connection length L2).

Alternatively, as shown in Figures 2 and 7, when the fixing member 3 is arranged at the second position 412 of the slot 41, the angle adjustment member 4 is staggeredly connected to the lower connecting portion 233 to which it is fixed (that is, the end edge 42 of the angle adjustment member 4 protrudes out of the end edge of the lower connecting portion 233), so that the connection length between the lower connecting portion 233 and the angle adjustment member 4 is greater than the length of the upper connecting portion 232 (that is, the upper connection length L1 is less than the lower connection length L2).

In addition, in order to enable the angle adjustment member 4 to stably abut against the cylindrical rod 1, the end edge 42 of the angle adjustment member 4 is concave and has multiple points of contact with the rod 1. More specifically, the end edge 42 of the angle adjustment member 4 is stepped and has a bottom step 421, two outer steps 422 located at opposite sides of the bottom step 421, and at least one expansion step 423 located between the bottom step 421 and any one of the outer steps 422. In this embodiment, the bottom step 421 and the two outer steps 422 are located on the extension path of the plurality of slots 41 along the configuration direction D2, but the present invention is not limited to the above.

[Example 2]

Please refer to FIG. 8 to FIG. 10 , which are the second embodiment of the present invention. Since this embodiment is similar to the first embodiment, the similarities between the two embodiments will not be described in detail, and the differences between this embodiment and the first embodiment are roughly described as follows:

In this embodiment, the angle-adjustable communication device 100 includes two angle adjusting members 4 and a plurality of fixing members 3 matched with the two angle adjusting members 4 , and the two angle adjusting members 4 are respectively disposed on the upper connecting portion 232 and the lower connecting portion 233 through the plurality of fixing members 3 .

As shown in FIG. 8 , each of the fixing members 3 can be disposed at the first position (not marked) corresponding to the slot, so that the two angle adjustment members 4 are stacked and disposed on the upper connecting portion 232 and the lower connecting portion 233 respectively (that is, the upper connecting length L1 is approximately equal to the lower connecting length L2), thereby preventing the communication device 2 from tilting, and the two angle adjustment members 4 are disposed in mirror symmetry.

Furthermore, as shown in Figures 9 and 10, the angle-adjustable communication device 100 can selectively adjust the relative position of one of the two angle adjustment members 4 and the connecting member 23 in the configuration direction D2 according to the actual tilting requirement of the communication device 2, so that the communication device 2 forms the downward tilt angle σ1 (such as Figure 9) or the upward tilt angle σ2 (such as Figure 10).

[Example 3]

Please refer to FIG. 11 to FIG. 15 , which are the third embodiment of the present invention. Since this embodiment is similar to the second embodiment, the similarities between the two embodiments will not be described in detail, and the differences between this embodiment and the second embodiment are roughly described as follows:

In this embodiment, the two angle adjustment members 4 are pivotally connected to the upper connection portion 232 and the lower connection portion 233 along a rotation axis R, respectively, so that the communication device 2 can be disposed on the rod 1 through the upper connection portion 232, the lower connection portion 233, and the two angle adjustment members 4. The rotation axis R is perpendicular to the transverse direction D1 and the configuration direction D2, and parallel to the length direction of the rod 1.

In more detail, each of the angle adjustment members 4 is formed by passing a fixing member 3 through the slot 41 at the center thereof, and then pivotally connected to the corresponding upper connecting portion 232 or the lower connecting portion 233, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, in other embodiments not shown in the present invention, each of the angle adjustment members 4 may be formed with a pivot structure and pivotally connected to the corresponding upper connecting portion 232 or the lower connecting portion 233, and then the fixing member 3 may be omitted.

In this embodiment, in order to distinguish the connection relationship between the components, the two angle adjustment members 4 can be respectively named as a first angle adjustment member 4a and a second angle adjustment member 4b, the slot 41 of the first angle adjustment member 4a is named as a first slot 41a, and the slot 41 of the second angle adjustment member 4b is named as a second slot 41b, and the plurality of fixing members 3 are named as a first fixing member 3a and a second fixing member 3b. In other words, the first angle adjustment member 4a is disposed at the upper connection portion 232 through the first slot 41a through the first fixing member 3a, and the second angle adjustment member 4b is disposed at the lower connection portion 233 through the second slot 41b through the second fixing member 3b.

Furthermore, when the first fixing member 3a and the second fixing member 3b are respectively disposed at the first position 411 of the first slot 41a and the first position 411 of the second slot 41b, the upper connecting portion 232 and the lower connecting portion 233 are respectively stacked with the two angle adjusting members 4, and the communication device 2 does not tilt.

When the first fixing member 3a and the second fixing member 3b are respectively disposed at the second position 412 of the first slot 41a and the second position 412 of the second slot 41b, the upper connecting portion 232 and the lower connecting portion 233 are respectively connected to the two angle adjusting members 4 in a staggered manner, and the communication device generates the left tilt angle σ4 or the right tilt angle σ3.

Accordingly, when the communication device 2 rotates left or right with respect to the two angle adjustment members 4 about the rotation axis R, each of the fixing members 3 moves along the slot 41 in which it is located, and the communication device 2 can form a left tilt angle σ4 or a right tilt angle σ3, respectively.

In addition, in order to enable the communication device 2 to stably rotate relative to the two angle adjustment members 4, each of the angle adjustment members 4 preferably has at least a portion of the following structural features, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In this embodiment, the two angle adjustment members 4 are arranged in mirror symmetry, and the end edge 42 of each angle adjustment member 4 is kept vertically against the rod 1.

The end edge 42 of each angle adjustment member 4 is concave and contacts the rod 1 at multiple points. For example, the end edge 42 of each angle adjustment member 4 is stepped and has a bottom step 421, two outer steps 422 located at opposite sides of the bottom step 421, and at least one expansion step 423 located between the bottom step 421 and any one of the outer steps 422.
