The present disclosure relates to a mounting apparatus for antenna devices on a support pole, and more particularly, to a mounting apparatus for antenna devices on a support pole, including tilting means and steering means which capable of installing two or more antenna devices so that the two or more antenna devices are separated from each other in up and down directions with respect to a single support clamp and of adjusting the tilting rotation of the two or more antenna devices in the up and down directions and adjusting the steering rotation of the two or more antenna devices in a horizontal direction simultaneously or at different times.
An antenna for wireless communication is commonly installed at a high place where surroundings are open for smooth transmission and reception with an apparatus for wireless communication that is disposed at a long distance.
To this end, the antenna is installed in an electric pole, a pylon, a building rooftop (rooftop), etc. Particularly, if an antenna device is installed in a support pole having a form such as an electric pole, a space usage fee (rent) needs to be paid to a lessor who operates a facility, such as a support pole.
However, in the case of the support pole, it is preferred that the antenna devices are intensively installed in a limited space in terms of costs. However, if the antenna devices are intensively installed, there is a concern of radiation and interference from a surrounding antenna device. Furthermore, there is a problem in that it is difficult to adjust the direction of the antenna device (e.g., the adjustment of steering rotation in the horizontal direction and the adjustment of tilting rotation in the up and down directions).
Furthermore, as the number of antenna devices installed is increased, various cables that are provided for a connection between an external wire for the supply of external power and a control unit act as a factor that degrades the beauty of the surroundings of the support pole because the various cables are frequently exposed to the outside.
The present disclosure has been made to solve the aforementioned problems, and an object of the present disclosure is to provide a mounting apparatus for antenna devices on a support pole, which can intensively install antenna devices on a support pole having a limited space and also easily adjust the direction of the antenna device.
Furthermore, another object of the present disclosure is to provide a mounting apparatus for antenna devices on a support pole, in which antenna devices are installed at two up and down places with respect to a single support clamp of a support pole so that two types of frequency bands can be covered and the direction of an antenna device for each frequency band can be easily adjusted toward a desired location by using tilting means and/or steering means.

To this end, the first antenna device A1 and the second antenna device A2 may each further include a concealment cover A-2 that covers multiple heat sink pins A-11 that are integrally formed in a rear surface part thereof and that also conceals the cable A-3.
The concealment cover A-2 plays a role as a finger guard that prevents a worker or a body portion, such as a user's hand, from coming into direct contact with the multiple heat sink pins A-11 when high-temperature system heat that is generated when a system of each of the antenna devices A1 and A2 operates is discharged through the multiple heat sink pins A-11, and also functions to enable the cable A-3 to be concealed and installed as described above.
More specifically, assuming that the control unit is provided within the tilting housing 105 described later, the cable A-3 penetrates a steering mounting panel 151 that is connected to the top and bottom of the tilting housing 105 through the medium of the tilt bracket 145, and is then connected to connecting terminals A-4 that are directly provided in a rear surface part of the antenna device A1, A2. In this case, the exposure of the cable to the outside can be prevented by the concealment cover A-2.
Meanwhile, multiple through holes A-2h may be formed in the concealment cover A-2 in order to facilitate the heat exchange with the air of the multiple heat sink pins A-11 that have been integrally formed in the rear surface part of the antenna device A1, A2.
Furthermore, although not illustrated in the drawing, the concealment cover A-2 may be fabricated by being separated into two covers so that the two covers cover half the left side and half the right side of the rear surface part of the antenna device A1, A2, respectively.
The steering means 150, among the direction adjustment parts 140 and 150, may include an upper steering mounting panel and lower steering mounting panel 151 having a top surface coupled to a bottom surface of any one (refer to reference numeral A1 in

In the case of the at least one guide bolt 157, it is also preferred that the number of guide bolts 157 that are inserted and fastened to the guide slots 155, respectively, is provided.
A worker may install the antenna devices A1 and A2 in the steering mounting panel 151 by an operation of disposing the antenna devices A1 and A2 on the top surface and bottom surface of the steering mounting panel 151, fastening the guide bolt 157 through the guide slot 155 upward or downward, but loosely fastening the guide bolt 157, adjusting the guide bolt 157 at a pre-designed steering rotation angle, and stably fastening the guide bolt 157 by strongly tightening the guide bolt 157.
In this case, the two or more antenna devices A1 and A2 are coupled so that the steering rotation of the two or more antenna devices is adjusted in the horizontal direction within the range of the at least one guide slot 155 that has been formed in the upper steering mounting panel and lower steering mounting panel 151.

In this case, the external wire P-C may be installed to be concealed from the outside by being inserted into the support pole P corresponding to a portion around the support clamps 10 and 110 so that the degradation of the beauty of appearance near the support pole P is minimized. To this end, a support wire installation hole Ph in which the external wire P-C is accommodated may be communicatively formed in the support pole P.
As described above, according to the mounting apparatus 100 for an antenna device on a support pole according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, there is provided an advantage in that the beauty of appearance around the support pole P can be prevented from being degraded because the exposure of the cable A-3 that connects the antenna devices A1 and A2 and the control unit and the external wire P-C that is connected to the control unit to the outside is minimized.
However, in the mounting apparatus 100 for an antenna device on a support pole according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the first antenna device A1 and the second antenna device A2 need to be spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance or more in the horizontal direction of the support pole P so that interference does not occur upon tilting rotation, in that the first antenna device A1 and the second antenna device A2 need to be provided to be capable of tilting rotation in the forward and backward directions thereof on the upper and lower sides of the tilting housing 105 described later, respectively. In this case, there is a concern that the tilting housing 105 needs to bear a moment load of the antenna device A1, A2, which is relatively great.
Hereinafter, an embodiment capable of solving the aforementioned problem and also fully solving the problem in that the exposure of the external wire P-C between the support wire installation hole Ph of the support pole P and the tilting housing 105 is to be disclosed. Furthermore, the tilting means 140 that has not been described, among the direction adjustment parts 140 and 150, will be described in detail hereinafter.

The wire enclosure 160 is formed in an approximately hexahedron closure shape. A front surface 163 of the wire enclosure may be firmly fixed to a rear surface of the tilting housing 105. A rear surface 161 of the wire enclosure may be fixed to four points of the upper clamp 110A and lower clamp 110B of the inside clamp 110, among the support clamps 10 and 110 in a screw coupling way using a fixing screw 165.
To this end, a screw through hole 162 through which the fixing screw 165 penetrates may be formed in the rear surface 161 of the wire enclosure 160. Screw fastening holes 115 to which the fixing screws 165 are fastened, respectively, may be formed in the upper clamp 110A and the lower clamp 110B, respectively.
The wire enclosure 160 is formed of a panel having a stiff material having stiffness to the extent that the stiff material can withstand at least a moment load of the antenna devices A1 and A2, and is formed in a closure shape the inside of which has an empty form. At least one wire through hole 164 through which the external wire P-C penetrates and is inserted into the tilting housing 105 may be formed in the front surface 163.
In this case, although not illustrated in the drawings, the support wire installation hole Ph formed in the support pole P is formed between the upper clamp 110A and the lower clamp 110B. The exposure of the external wire P-C can be fully blocked because external wire P-C is concealed by the wire enclosure 160.
As described above, the mounting apparatus 100 for an antenna device on a support pole according to another embodiment of the present disclosure provides an advantage in that it can block interference between the tilting rotations of the antenna devices A1 and A2 and also fully block the exposure of the external wire P-C to the outside by securing a horizontal isolation distance between the support pole P and the antenna devices A1 and A2 through the additional provision of the wire enclosure 160.

Hereinafter, the upper tilting means is mainly described in detail without describing the upper tilting means and the lower tilting means by dividing the tilting means into the upper tilting means and the lower tilting means.
The tilting means 140 may include the tilting housing 105 that is coupled to the support clamps 10 and 110, a driving motor (reference numeral not indicated) that is disposed within the tilting housing 105 and that is electrically rotated and driven, a gear set 142 that outputs rotatory power of the driving motor by decelerating the rotator power when the rotator power is input, and a worm wheel gear part 144 that axially penetrates the tilting housing 105 in the horizontal direction to constitute a tilting axis and that is rotated by receiving the driving power output by the gear set 142 by worm wheel gear teeth thereof formed in an outer circumferential surface thereof.
In this case, the tilting means 140 may further include a worm gear part 143 that is disposed between the gear set 142 and the worm wheel gear part 144 and in which worm gear teeth that are extended from the shaft of any one gear of the gear set 142 and that are engaged with the worm wheel gear teeth of the worm wheel gear part 144 have been formed.
More specifically, as referred in
However, the tilting means 140 does not need to be provided so that the tilting means 140 is essentially automatically tilted and operated by the driving motor.
That is, as referred in
Each head part of the tilting adjustment bolt 143′ is disposed to be exposed to a front surface of the tilting housing 105. Accordingly, a worker can adjust the tilting angle of each of the antenna devices A1 and A2 by rotating the tilting adjustment bolt 143′ in one direction or the other direction by using a predetermined adjustment tool (a driver, a hex key, etc). The head part of the tilting adjustment bolt 143′, which has been exposed to the front surface of the tilting housing 105, may be shielded by each of bolt caps 141A and 141B.
In this case, the tilting means 140 are provided on the upper and lower sides of the tilting housing 105, respectively. The tilting adjustment bolt 143′ on the upper side may be defined as an “upper tilting adjustment bolt”. The tilting adjustment bolt 143′ on the lower side may be defined as a “lower tilting adjustment bolt”. Likewise, the worm wheel gear part 144 on the upper side of the tilting housing 105 may be defined as an “upper worm wheel gear part”. The worm wheel gear part 144 on the lower side of the tilting housing 105 may be defined as a “lower worm wheel gear part”.

Meanwhile, the two or more antenna devices A1 and A2 may be coupled to a pair of tilt brackets 145 that are connected to the worm wheel gear part 144 that constitutes the tilting axis so that the tilt brackets 145 are rotated coaxially with the worm wheel gear part 144, through the medium of the steering mounting panel 151.
More specifically, both ends of the worm wheel gear part 144 that constitutes the tilting axis may be connected to the tilt brackets 145, respectively, which are disposed outside the tilting housing 105 in parallel.
In this case, the pair of tilt brackets 145 rotate the steering mounting panels 151 that have been integrally formed in one ends of the pair of tilt brackets 145 around the tilting axis thereof by being rotated in conjunction with the worm wheel gear part 144 when the worm wheel gear part 144 is rotated. As a result, the pair of tilt brackets 145 tilt and rotate the antenna devices A1 and A2.
For reference, an indication symbol, such as an arrow, has been printed on the pair of tilt brackets 145 so that a worker recognizes a tilting angle of the tilt brackets. A tilting angle gauge 146 that is indicated by an arrow may be printed and formed on the outside of the tilting housing 105, which corresponds to the outside of the radius of rotation of the tilt brackets 145.
Accordingly, a worker can precisely adjust the first antenna device A1 and the second antenna device A2 at a desired tilting angle while viewing the arrow and the tilting angle gauge 146.
There are advantages in that when the first antenna device A1 and the second antenna device A2 are installed by using the mounting apparatus for antenna devices on a support pole according to embodiments of the present disclosure, as referred in
