The present disclosure relates to a multi-functional support pole assembly, and more particularly, to a multi-functional support pole assembly, which can improve a product reliability and can prevent deterioration of an appearance beauty in an urban area through being installed at a crosswalk in the urban area and being provided with an uninterruptible power supply so as to be able to continue a base station service even during a power failure.
A wireless communication technology, for example, a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology is a technology which can dramatically increase data transmission capacity by using a plurality of antennas, and in this technology, a transmitter transmits different data through respective transmission antennas, and a receiver adopts a spatial multiplexing technique to separate pieces of transmitted data through proper signal processing.
Accordingly, with the simultaneous increase of the number of transmission/reception antennas, the channel capacity is increased, and thus more data can be transmitted. For example, in case that the number of antennas is increased to 10, about 10 times channel capacity can be secured by using the same frequency band as compared with the current single antenna system.
In 4G LTE-advanced, up to 8 antennas are used, and in the current pre-5G stage, a product mounted with 64 or 128 antennas has been developed. In 5G, it is expected that base station equipment having much more antennas is to be used, and this is called a massive MIMO technology. Whereas the current cell operation is of 2-dimension, 3D-beamforming becomes possible through introduction of the massive MIMO technology, and this is called full dimension (FD)-MIMO.
In the massive MIMO technology, as the number of antennas (ANT) is increased, the number of corresponding transmitters and filters is also increased. Nevertheless, due to the lease cost or spatial constraints of an installation place, it is reality to make RF components (antenna, filter, power amplifier, transceiver, and so on) small, light, and cheap, and the massive MIMO requires high power for coverage expansion, and the power consumption and the heat amount due to such high power may act as negative factors in reducing the weight and the size of the massive MIMO.
In particular, in case of installing the MIMO antenna, in which modules implementing RF elements and digital elements are coupled with a stacked structure, in a limited space, there is a need for a compact and miniaturized design of a plurality of layers constituting the MIMO antenna in order to maximize ease of installation or space utilization, and there is a strong need for a free direction adjustment of an antenna apparatus installed on one support pole.
Further, since a plurality of antenna devices are intensively installed on the support pole, there are problems in that the wirings become complicated and a plurality of heat sink fins formed for heat dissipation on rear parts of the antenna devices are exposed to outside as they are.
In addition, in case that a power failure occurs due to external factors, the power supply is temporarily interrupted to cause functions of the antenna devices to be paralyzed.
The present disclosure has been devised to solve the above-described technical problems, and an object of the present disclosure is to provide a multi-functional support pole assembly, which enables a plurality of antenna devices to be installed on a single support pole, and enables various kinds of wires provided for power supply to the plurality of antenna devices to be installed in a concealable manner inside the support pole.
Further, another object of the present disclosure is to provide a multi-functional support pole assembly, which enables a plurality of heat sink fins provided for heat dissipation on rear parts of a plurality of antenna devices to be installed in a concealable manner inside a support pole so as not to be exposed to the outside.
Further, still another object of the present disclosure is to provide a multi-functional support pole assembly, which can smoothly discharge heat emitted from a plurality of heat sink fins of an antenna device installed in a concealable manner inside a support pole to outside of the support pole.

Here, the multi-functional support pole assembly 1 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may not only perform a function of covering a mobile communication frequency band through simple mounting of the plurality of antenna devices A but also additionally perform a traffic control function and so on through additional installation of a traffic light installation bar 100 installed near an intersection or a crosswalk in an urban area on the pole body 10.
More specifically, on a middle region of the pole body 10, the traffic light installation bar 100 for installing a vehicle traffic light 110A may be installed in a cantilever form so as to extend in a horizontal direction.
Further, as an additional constitution according to the above-described function of the traffic control, a pedestrian traffic light 110B may be further installed on a middle region of the pole body 10 in the multi-functional support pole assembly 1 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

Further, on a middle region of the poly body 10, an advertising panel 120 may be further installed. The advertising panel 120 can provide a strategic advantage for marketing an enterprise or product image to citizens who use the intersection or the crosswalk that is a place with high traffic of citizens.

Here, the plurality of antenna mounting grooves 11 may be two or three antenna mounting grooves 11 provided to be spaced apart from each other in a circumferential direction of the pole body 10, and depending on the size of the installed antenna device A, four or more antenna mounting grooves 11 can be provided. That is, the plurality of antenna mounting grooves 11 may be formed to be spaced apart from each other in a manner that any one of two grooves at intervals of 180 degrees, three grooves at intervals of 120 degrees, and four grooves at intervals of 90 degrees in a circumferential direction of the pole body 10 is adopted.
In this case, it is preferable that the pole body 10 is formed with a size in which a plurality of heat sink fins A-2 integrally formed on rear parts of two, three, four, or more antenna devices A are all installed in a concealable manner on an inside of the pole body 10 when at least two or three antenna devices A are installed. As described above, since some of the rear parts of the antenna devices A provided with the plurality of heat sink fins A-2 are installed in an embedded type on the pole body 10, it is possible to create an advantage that a space occupied by the antenna devices A on an outside of the pole body 10 can be reduced.
Further, the antenna mounting grooves 11 may be formed in multiple stages to be spaced apart for a predetermined distance in up and down direction of the pole body 10, and the plurality of antenna devices A may be installed in multiple stages to be spaced apart from each other in up and down direction of the pole body 10. Accordingly, in case that three antenna devices A can be installed in the circumferential direction of the pole body 10, it is possible to create an advantage that three antenna devices A can be additionally installed in up and down direction of the pole body 10. For example, as referenced in
As described above, in the support pole assembly for antenna installation according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, since some of rear end parts of the antenna devices A can be installed in an embedded type on the inside of the pole body 10, the amount of protrusion of the antenna devices A protruding out of the pole body 10 can be reduced, and since the plurality of antenna devices A can be intensively installed up and down in multiple stages on the pole body 10 corresponding to a single support pole, it is possible to create an advantage that a rental cost (e.g., space usage fee) for the support pole lessor can be reduced.
Here, some of the plurality of antenna devices A may be inserted and installed through the antenna mounting grooves 11, and a wire harness (not illustrated) connected to the plurality of antenna devices A may be installed in a concealable manner on the inside of the pole body 10. Accordingly, since the plurality of antenna devices A are intensively installed on the pole body 10 corresponding to the single support pole, the wire harness which is a factor that most significantly harms the appearance beauty is not observed from the outside, and thus deterioration of the appearance beauty around the pole body 10 can be prevented.
The wire harness may be a cable that is supplied from a harness connection pipe 70 provided to connect an external power (not illustrated) to be described later, and also may be a cable connected from an uninterruptible power supply 60 to be described later.
Meanwhile, the plurality of antenna devices A may be installed in the antenna mounting grooves 11 so that the plurality of heat sink fins A-2 integrally formed on at least the rear part are concealed on the inside of the pole body 10. The system heat of the antenna devices A, being transferred through the heat sink fins A-2 of the plurality of antenna devices A, may be heat-exchanged with an outdoor air that flows in through the above-described ventilation panels 20, and then may be discharged toward the upper part of the pole body 10 through forming of an ascending air current on the inside of the pole body 10.
For this, it is preferable that the ventilation panels 20 are coupled to the location at which lower parts of the plurality of antenna devices A installed in the antenna mounting grooves 11 are ventilated.
More specifically, the ventilation panel 20 may include: an outdoor air inflow panel 21 coupled to the antenna mounting groove 11 and configured to make the outdoor air flow into the inside of the pole body 10; and an indoor air discharge panel 22 coupled to the top part of the pole body 10 and configured to discharge heat on the inside of the pole body 10 out of the pole body 10.
Accordingly, the system heat of the antenna devices A, being dissipated through the plurality of heat sink fins A-2 of the antenna devices A on the inside of the pole body 10, may be smoothly dissipated through an air flow on the inside of the pole body 10, which includes an air inflow through the outdoor air inflow panel 21 and an air discharge through the indoor air discharge panel 22.
However, since there may be a risk of resistance in the air flow on the inside of the pole body 10 through the ventilation panels 20 due to various reasons, at least one circulation fan 25 may be further provided on the upper part of the poly body 10 for smooth air flow on the inside of the pole body 10. The at least one circulation fan 25 may move the air in up and down direction of the pole body 10 so as to make the smooth outdoor air inflow and discharge through the ventilation panel 20. This will be described in more detail later.
Meanwhile, in each of the plurality of antenna devices A, a screw assembly panel A-1 on which a plurality of screw through-holes are formed may be provided so as to come in contact with left and right border ends of the antenna mounting groove 11 and to be fastened by screws, and a plurality of screw fastening holes for fastening the screws therethrough may be formed on the left and right border ends of the antenna mounting groove 11 of the pole body 10.
Further, a harness clamper 50 for clamping and arranging a wire harness connected to each of the plurality of antenna devices A may be further provided on an inner periphery of the pole body 10. This is to prevent the occurrence of the air flow resistance by the wire harness in a state where the plurality of heat sink fins A-2 of the plurality of antenna devices A face each other toward the inside of the pole body 10 through arrangement of the complicated wire harness by using the harness clamper 50. Further, in a state where the temperature of the plurality of heat sink fins A-2 is very high, the harness clamper 50 blocks direct contact of the wire harness with the plurality of heat sink fins A-2, and thus reduces the risk of fire due to electrical short circuit occurring through melting of the wire harness covering, so that product safety can be practically secured.
