Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

This invention relates to a parapet-hanging-type antenna mount that is used to install an antenna of a mobile phone base station to a parapet formed in a rooftop periphery of a building.

BACKGROUND ART

Radio waves that are used in a communication network of the fifth generation (5G) mobile communication system have a transmission distance shorter than that of the 4G, and also have a property of being easily shielded by buildings. Hence, in order to enrich the communication environment thereof, it is necessary to install a large number of base station antennas all over the town.

Up to now, a base station of a mobile communication system is installed in many cases by attaching an antenna to a big steel tower or by attaching an antenna to a parapet located around a rooftop of an office building, an apartment building, or the like.

In the case of installing an antenna to a parapet on a rooftop, the antenna is installed in many cases by attaching a pole-type mount for antenna installation to the parapet (Patent Literatures 1 to 3).

SUMMARY OF INVENTION

Technical Problem

However, if such a pole-type mount for antenna installation is installed to a parapet on a rooftop of an office building, an apartment building, or the like, there arises a problem that a row of pole-type antennas stand on the rooftop to spoil the landscape.

Particularly, in a region in which restrictions on the landscape are strict, it is required to install an antenna such that the antenna does not protrude upward from a parapet on a rooftop.

Therefore, for example, as illustrated in FIG. 14, it has been a common practice to provide a vertical support column 101 that vertically hangs down along an outer wall surface of a parapet P to a mount main body 100 that is fixed to an upper part of the parapet P on a rooftop of a building, and install an antenna A to the vertical support column 101 so as not to protrude upward from the parapet P, whereby the landscape is taken into consideration.

However, in the case where the antenna A is installed to the vertical support column 101 that vertically hangs down along the outer wall surface of the parapet P, when maintenance of the antenna A is intended to be performed, a worker needs to perform the work while leaning forward from an inner wall surface side of the parapet P to the outer wall surface side thereof. This causes problems of low workability and dangerousness.

In view of this, this invention is intended to provide a parapet-hanging-type antenna mount that enables a worker to safely perform work without leaning forward from an inner wall surface side of a parapet to an outer wall surface side thereof at the time of maintenance of an antenna, the parapet-hanging-type antenna mount being a mount for antenna installation, including: a mount main body that is fixed to an upper part of the parapet on a rooftop of a building; and a vertical support column part that is provided in the mount main body and vertically hangs down along an outer wall surface of the parapet, in which the antenna is installed to the vertical support column part so as not to protrude upward from the parapet.

Solution to Problem

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, this invention provides a parapet-hanging-type antenna mount, including: a mount main body that is fixed to an upper part of a parapet on a rooftop of a building; and a vertical support column part that is provided in the mount main body and vertically hangs down along an outer wall surface of the parapet, in which an antenna is installed to the vertical support column part so as not to protrude upward from the parapet, the parapet-hanging-type antenna mount, including: a horizontal support column part that is provided at an upper end of the vertical support column part and bends and horizontally extends in a direction orthogonal to the parapet toward an inner wall surface side of the parapet; and a support column holding cylinder that is provided in the mount main body and holds the horizontal support column part such that the horizontal support column part is movable frontward/backward along a central axis in a length direction thereof and is rotatable about the central axis, in which the vertical support column part is made pullable to an inner wall side of the parapet by rotating the horizontal support column part about the central axis to place a leading end of the vertical support column part to face heavenward, and moving the horizontal support column part to the inner wall side of the parapet along the central axis.

The support column holding cylinder may be extended to the inner wall side of the parapet, and a counterweight that achieves a balance between a load on a front side of the mount main body and a load on a back side of the mount main body may be installed to this extended part.

Moreover, the support column holding cylinder may be provided with: a longitudinal groove that extends in a front-back direction along the central axis; and a lateral groove that extends in a circumferential direction of the support column holding cylinder so as to be continuous with a front end of the longitudinal groove and be orthogonal to the longitudinal groove. The horizontal support column part may be provided with a guide protrusion that is fitted in the front end of the longitudinal groove of the support column holding cylinder in a state where the vertical support column part is located on a front side of the outer wall surface of the parapet and where the leading end of the vertical support column part faces heavenward. The horizontal support column part may thus be made pullable backward while being guided by the guide protrusion fitted in the longitudinal groove. A length in a circumferential direction of the lateral groove may be set such that: in a state where the guide protrusion fitted in the longitudinal groove is located at the front end of the longitudinal groove, the horizontal support column part is made rotatable about the central axis along the lateral groove; in a state where the guide protrusion is located at a leading end position of the lateral groove, the leading end of the vertical support column part faces vertically downward; and in a state where the guide protrusion is located at a connection position between the lateral groove and the longitudinal groove, the leading end of the vertical support column part faces heavenward.

A pressing bolt that fixes the support column holding cylinder and the horizontal support column part may be screwed in the support column holding cylinder, in a state where the vertical support column part is vertical with the leading end thereof facing downward on the front side of the outer wall surface of the parapet and in a state where the vertical support column part is pulled to the inner wall side of the parapet with the leading end thereof facing heavenward.

An operating arm that is orthogonal to the horizontal support column part and is attachable/detachable to/from the horizontal support column part may be provided at a back end of the horizontal support column part.

Advantageous Effects of Invention

As described above, according to this invention, when an antenna of a mobile phone base station is installed to a rooftop of a building, in order to achieve harmonization with the landscape of the town, the antenna can be installed to a vertical support column part so as not to protrude from an upper part of a parapet, the vertical support column part vertically hanging down with a leading end thereof facing downward along an outer wall surface on a front side of the parapet. Moreover, at the time of maintenance of the antenna, the vertical support column part to which the antenna is installed can be pulled to an inner wall side on a back side of the parapet with the leading end thereof facing heavenward. Hence, the work can be safely performed from the rooftop on the inner wall side of the parapet.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENT

Hereinafter, a parapet-hanging-type antenna mount according to an embodiment of this invention is described with reference to FIG. 1 to FIG. 13. In the parapet-hanging-type antenna mount according to this embodiment, when an antenna A of a mobile phone base station is installed to a rooftop of a building, in order to achieve harmonization with the landscape of the town, the antenna A can be installed to an outer wall surface on a front side of a parapet P (the state illustrated in FIG. 1) so as not to protrude from an upper part of the parapet P. Moreover, at the time of maintenance of the antenna A, the antenna A is pulled to an inner wall side on a back side of the parapet P, whereby the work can be safely performed from the rooftop on the inner wall side of the parapet P (the states illustrated in FIG. 11 and FIG. 13).

As illustrated in FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, the parapet-hanging-type antenna mount according to this invention includes: a mount main body 11 that is fixed to the parapet P on the rooftop of the building; and an antenna support column 12 that is provided in the mount main body 11 and to which the antenna A is attached.

The antenna support column 12 includes: a vertical support column part 12a that vertically hangs down with a leading end thereof facing downward along the outer wall surface of the parapet P; and a horizontal support column part 12b that bends in a direction orthogonal to the parapet P from an upper end of the vertical support column part 12a toward the inner wall surface side of the parapet P. The antenna A is attached to the vertical support column part 12a, and the horizontal support column part 12b is attached to the mount main body 11.

A support column holding cylinder 13 is installed in the mount main body 11. The support column holding cylinder 13 holds the horizontal support column part 12b such that the horizontal support column part 12b is movable frontward/backward along a central axis in a length direction thereof and is rotatable about the central axis.

The mount main body 11 includes: a parapet fixation part 14 that is fixed to the upper part of the parapet P; and an attachment pedestal 15 to which the support column holding cylinder 13 is installed.

The parapet fixation part 14 includes a pair of left and right U-shaped frame members 16 that each have an opening part facing downward and straddle the upper part of the parapet P.

As illustrated in FIG. 4, the U-shaped frame members 16 each include a pair of front and back L-shaped metal fittings 16a, 16b that are each formed from a horizontal part and a vertical part. The respective horizontal parts of the pair of front and back L-shaped metal fittings 16a, 16b overlap one above the other, and a plurality of bolt holes 16d are provided in this overlapping portion at intervals in the front-back direction. Then, the respective intervals between the opposed vertical parts of the pair of front and back L-shaped metal fittings 16a, 16b are changed frontward/backward in accordance with the attachment width of the parapet P. The bolt holes 16d that fit the attachment width of the parapet P are selected, and bolts 16c are respectively inserted through the selected bolt holes 16d. The bolts 16c are respectively fastened by nuts 16f via washers 16e. In this way, the respective intervals between the opposed vertical parts of the pair of front and back L-shaped metal fittings 16a, 16b can be adjusted in accordance with the attachment width of the parapet P.

A front-side pressurization-contact plate 16g and a back-side pressurization-contact plate 16h are respectively installed to lower ends of the opposed vertical parts of the L-shaped metal fittings 16a, 16b. The back-side pressurization-contact plate 16h is installed to the lower end of the L-shaped metal fitting 16b on the back side by a bolt 16i so as to be movable frontward/backward, and the back-side pressurization-contact plate 16h is pushed frontward by the bolt 16i. As a result, the parapet P can be clamped by the front-side pressurization-contact plate 16g and the back-side pressurization-contact plate 16h, and the parapet fixation part 14 can be firmly fixed to the parapet P.

The attachment pedestal 15 for the support column holding cylinder 13 is placed so as to be orthogonal to the pair of left and right U-shaped frame members 16, and have both ends that are respectively welded and fixed to the horizontal parts of the left and right L-shaped metal fittings 16a. As illustrated in FIG. 2, a pressing plate 16j that presses an upper surface of the parapet P is installed to a lower surface of the attachment pedestal 15 such that the height thereof is adjustable.

The support column holding cylinder 13 has a length that is at least more than twice the front-back width of the mount main body 11. A front end of the support column holding cylinder 13 is welded and fixed to the attachment pedestal 15 for the support column holding cylinder 13, and a back end thereof significantly protrudes on the inner wall side of the parapet P.

The horizontal support column part 12b of the antenna support column 12 is inserted through the support column holding cylinder 13, and has such a length that a back end of the horizontal support column part 12b protrudes backward from the support column holding cylinder 13 in the state where the vertical support column part 12a is located on the outer wall surface side of the parapet P.

A counterweight 17 is attached to a lower portion of the back end of the support column holding cylinder 13, in order to achieve a balance between a load on the front side and a load on the back side with the mount main body 11 as the center.

The counterweight 17 is formed from: a pedestal part 17a that is installed to the rooftop of the building; and a standing plate part 17b that erects upward from the pedestal part 17a. A coupling pedestal 18 that is fixed by bolts to an upper surface of the standing plate part 17b of the counterweight 17 is welded to a lower surface of the back end of the support column holding cylinder 13.

The pedestal part 17a of the counterweight 17 and the mount main body 11 are coupled to each other by a coupling metal fitting 19. The coupling metal fitting 19 is formed from: a coupling plate 19a that connects the respective left and right vertical parts of the L-shaped metal fittings 16b; and inverted L-shaped coupling plates 19b each having a front end coupled to the coupling plate 19a and a back end coupled to a front end of the pedestal part 17a of the counterweight 17.

As described above, the horizontal support column part 12b of the antenna support column 12 is held inside the support column holding cylinder 13 so as to be movable in the front-back direction along the central axis in the length direction thereof and rotatable about the central axis.

The support column holding cylinder 13 is provided with: a longitudinal groove 13a that extends in the front-back direction along the central axis; and a lateral groove 13b that extends in the circumferential direction so as to be continuous with a front end of the longitudinal groove 13a and be orthogonal to the longitudinal groove 13a. A guide protrusion 20 fitted in the longitudinal groove 13a and the lateral groove 13b is attached to the horizontal support column part 12b. As a result, along the longitudinal groove 13a, the horizontal support column part 12b moves frontward/backward inside the support column holding cylinder 13. Moreover, along the lateral groove 13b, the horizontal support column part 12b rotates inside the support column holding cylinder 13.

The guide protrusion 20 is formed from a bolt that is inserted from an outer surface side of the support column holding cylinder 13 into the horizontal support column part 12b.

As illustrated in FIG. 5, the guide protrusion 20 is located at a leading end of the lateral groove 13b, in the state as illustrated in FIG. 1 where the vertical support column part 12a of the antenna support column 12 is vertical with the leading end thereof facing downward on the front side of the outer wall surface of the parapet P.

The lateral groove 13b is provided within the range of 180° in the circumferential direction of the support column holding cylinder 13. The lateral groove 13b is divided into two front and back stages by a communicating longitudinal groove 13c that extends in the front-back direction, at a position of half the distance from the longitudinal groove 13a to the leading end of the lateral groove 13b, that is, a position of 90° in the circumferential direction from the longitudinal groove 13a. This prevents the lateral groove 13b from being formed in a straight line in the circumferential direction, and thus prevents the lateral groove 13b from making the strength of the support column holding cylinder 13 insufficient. The length in the front-back direction of the longitudinal groove 13a is about 200 mm, and the length in the front-back direction of the communicating longitudinal groove 13c is about 20 mm.

As described above, the support column holding cylinder 13 is provided with the lateral groove 13b that is continuous with the front end of the longitudinal groove 13a and is orthogonal to the longitudinal groove 13a. Then, in the state where the guide protrusion 20 is located at the front end of the longitudinal groove 13a, the vertical support column part 12a is located on the front side of the outer wall surface of the parapet P. In this state, if the horizontal support column part 12b inside the support column holding cylinder 13 is rotated about the central axis to a position at which the guide protrusion 20 abuts against the leading end position of the lateral groove 13b, the vertical support column part 12a becomes vertical with the leading end thereof facing downward as illustrated in FIG. 1 to FIG. 3.

The lateral groove 13b is provided within the range of 180° in the circumferential direction of the support column holding cylinder 13. Hence, if the horizontal support column part 12b inside the support column holding cylinder 13 is rotated by 180° about the central axis of the support column holding cylinder 13 such that the guide protrusion 20 fitted at the leading end position of the lateral groove 13b moves along the lateral groove 13b to the front end position of the longitudinal groove 13a, the vertical support column part 12a becomes vertical with the leading end thereof facing heavenward as illustrated in FIG. 10.

Then, from the state illustrated in FIG. 10 where the leading end of the vertical support column part 12a faces heavenward, the horizontal support column part 12b is pulled backward inside the support column holding cylinder 13. As a result, while the guide protrusion 20 of the horizontal support column part 12b is guided by the longitudinal groove 13a, as illustrated in FIG. 11 and FIG. 12, the horizontal support column part 12b is pulled straight backward, and the vertical support column part 12a moves from the front-side position of the outer wall surface of the parapet P to the vicinity of the inner wall of the parapet P.

As described above, the horizontal support column part 12b is held by the support column holding cylinder 13 so as to be movable frontward/backward along the central axis in the length direction thereof and be rotatable about the central axis inside the support column holding cylinder 13. In this case, it is necessary to prevent the horizontal support column part 12b from moving frontward/backward or rotating inside the support column holding cylinder 13 in the installation state of the antenna A illustrated in FIG. 1 where the leading end of the vertical support column part 12a faces vertically downward and in the state illustrated in FIG. 11 where the vertical support column part 12a is pulled to the inner wall surface side of the parapet P with the leading end thereof facing heavenward. To this end, pressing bolts 21 that press the horizontal support column part 12b from the outer surface are screwed in the support column holding cylinder 13, for the purpose of fixing the support column holding cylinder 13 and the horizontal support column part 12b.

The number of the pressing bolts 21 that are screwed in each of a front end part and a back end part of the support column holding cylinder 13 is two. Moreover, in the installation state of the antenna A illustrated in FIG. 1 where the leading end of the vertical support column part 12a faces downward and in the state illustrated in FIG. 11 where the vertical support column part 12a is pulled to the inner wall surface side of the parapet P with the leading end thereof facing heavenward, the support column holding cylinder 13 and the horizontal support column part 12b are each provided with a through-hole. Then, a fixing bolt 22 is inserted in the through-hole, whereby the fixing power of the pressing bolts 21 is reinforced. The fixing bolt 22 is attached to the standing plate part 17b of the counterweight 17.

In order to move the horizontal support column part 12b frontward/backward or rotate the same inside the support column holding cylinder 13, as illustrated in FIG. 6, an operating arm 23 is attached to the horizontal support column part 12b of the antenna support column 12 so as to be orthogonal to the horizontal support column part 12b, the horizontal support column part 12b protruding backward from the back end of the support column holding cylinder 13. The operating arm 23 can be detachably attached to the horizontal support column part 12b of the antenna support column 12 via attachment metal fittings 24. When the operating arm 23 is not operated, the attachment metal fittings 24 can be detached, and the operating arm 23 can be stored in a back surface lower end of the pedestal part 17a of the counterweight 17.

In the following procedures, the antenna A is installed to the parapet P using the mount for installation according to this invention.

First, the respective intervals between the opposed vertical parts of the pair of front and back L-shaped metal fittings 16a, 16b of the mount main body 11 are adjusted in accordance with the attachment width of the parapet P. Then, the parapet fixation part 14 is attached to the upper part of the parapet P such that the support column holding cylinder 13 installed to the mount main body 11 is horizontal and is orthogonal to the parapet P. Then, the back-side pressurization-contact plate 16h is pushed frontward. As a result, the parapet P is clamped by the front-side pressurization-contact plate 16g and the back-side pressurization-contact plate 16h, and the parapet fixation part 14 is firmly fixed to the parapet P.

The counterweight 17 is attached to the lower portion of the back end of the support column holding cylinder 13, and the pedestal part 17a of the counterweight 17 and the mount main body 11 are coupled to each other by the coupling metal fitting 19.

Next, the pressing bolts 21 that fix the support column holding cylinder 13 and the horizontal support column part 12b are loosened, and the fixing bolt 22 that penetrates through the support column holding cylinder 13 and the horizontal support column part 12b is drawn out, whereby the state where the fixation between the support column holding cylinder 13 and the horizontal support column part 12b is cancelled is obtained.

In the state where the operating arm 23 is attached to the back end of the horizontal support column part 12b and where the leading end of the vertical support column part 12a faces heavenward, the operating arm 23 is pulled backward. As a result, while the guide protrusion 20 of the horizontal support column part 12b is guided by the longitudinal groove 13a of the support column holding cylinder 13, the horizontal support column part 12b slides backward inside the support column holding cylinder 13. As illustrated in FIG. 13, the vertical support column part 12a of the antenna support column 12 is pulled to the vicinity of the inner wall side of the parapet P.

In the state where the vertical support column part 12a is pulled to the vicinity of the inner wall side of the parapet P, as illustrated in FIG. 13, the antenna A is attached to the vertical support column part 12a while being caused to face the inner wall side of the parapet P. After that, as illustrated in FIG. 11 and FIG. 12, the antenna A is rotated about the vertical support column part 12a so as to face the outer wall side of the parapet P.

Subsequently, from the state illustrated in FIG. 11, the operating arm 23 is pushed frontward as illustrated in FIG. 10, the vertical support column part 12a is moved to the outer wall side of the parapet P, and the guide protrusion 20 of the horizontal support column part 12b is located at the front end position of the longitudinal groove 13a of the support column holding cylinder 13.

In this state, as illustrated in FIG. 7 and FIG. 9, the operating arm 23 is rotated by 90° in the counterclockwise direction, the guide protrusion 20 of the horizontal support column part 12b is moved to an intermediate position of the lateral groove 13b of the support column holding cylinder 13, and the vertical support column part 12a is thus brought into a horizontal state.

After this, the operating arm 23 is slightly pushed frontward, and the guide protrusion 20 is moved to a front end of the communicating longitudinal groove 13c as illustrated in FIG. 8. In this state, the operating arm 23 is further rotated by 90° in the counterclockwise direction as illustrated in FIG. 6, and the guide protrusion 20 of the horizontal support column part 12b is moved to the leading end position of the lateral groove 13b. As a result, as illustrated in FIG. 6, the vertical support column part 12a becomes vertical with the leading end thereof facing downward, and the antenna A attached to the vertical support column part 12a is installed along the outer wall surface of the parapet P such that an upper part of the antenna A does not protrude from the upper part of the parapet P.

After this, as illustrated in FIG. 1, the operating arm 23 at the back end of the horizontal support column part 12b is detached. The fixing bolt 22 is inserted in the through-hole provided to each of the support column holding cylinder 13 and the horizontal support column part 12b, and the pressing bolts 21 are fastened, whereby the support column holding cylinder 13 and the horizontal support column part 12b are fixed to each other. In this way, the installation work of the antenna A is completed.

When the maintenance of the antenna A is performed from this installation state of the antenna A, in the following procedures, the vertical support column part 12a can be pulled to the inner wall side of the parapet P as illustrated in FIG. 13, from the installation state of the antenna A illustrated in FIG. 1 where the leading end of the vertical support column part 12a faces downward.

First, the pressing bolts 21 that fix the support column holding cylinder 13 and the horizontal support column part 12b are loosened, and the fixing bolt 22 that penetrates through the support column holding cylinder 13 and the horizontal support column part 12b is drawn out, whereby the state where the fixation between the support column holding cylinder 13 and the horizontal support column part 12b is cancelled is obtained. Then, as illustrated in FIG. 6, the operating arm 23 is attached to the back end of the horizontal support column part 12b.

Then, as illustrated in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, the operating arm 23 is rotated by 90° in the clockwise direction, the guide protrusion 20 of the horizontal support column part 12b is moved to the intermediate position of the lateral groove 13b of the support column holding cylinder 13, and the vertical support column part 12a is brought into the horizontal state.

After this, the operating arm 23 is slightly pulled backward, and the guide protrusion 20 is moved to a back end of the communicating longitudinal groove 13c as illustrated in FIG. 9. In this state, the operating arm 23 is further rotated by 90° in the clockwise direction as illustrated in FIG. 10, and the guide protrusion 20 of the horizontal support column part 12b is moved to the front end position of the longitudinal groove 13a. As a result, as illustrated in FIG. 10, the vertical support column part 12a becomes vertical with the leading end thereof facing heavenward.

In the state illustrated in FIG. 10 where the leading end of the vertical support column part 12a faces heavenward, the operating arm 23 is pulled backward. As a result, while the guide protrusion 20 of the horizontal support column part 12b is guided by the longitudinal groove 13a of the support column holding cylinder 13, the horizontal support column part 12b slides backward inside the support column holding cylinder 13. As illustrated in FIG. 11, the vertical support column part 12a of the antenna support column 12 is pulled to the vicinity of the inner wall side of the parapet P.

After this, the fixing bolt 22 is inserted in the through-hole provided to each of the support column holding cylinder 13 and the horizontal support column part 12b, and the pressing bolts 21 are fastened, whereby the support column holding cylinder 13 and the horizontal support column part 12b are fixed to each other. Then, as illustrated in FIG. 13, the antenna A is rotated about the vertical support column part 12a so as to face the inner wall side of the parapet P. In this state, a worker can safely perform the maintenance of the antenna A without leaning forward from the rooftop on the inner wall side of the parapet P to the outside of the parapet P. As described above, if the mount for installation according to this invention is used, the installation work and maintenance work of the antenna A can be safely performed from the rooftop on the inner wall side of the parapet P.

This invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and can be further carried out in various modes within a range not departing from the gist of this invention, as a matter of course. The scope of this invention is described in Claims, and further includes meanings equivalent to those described in Claims and all changes within the scope.
