Object of the invention

La presente invención, tal y como se expresa en el enunciado de esta memoria descriptiva, se refiere a un soporte director mejorado de los que se emplean en antenas tipo panel donde en un soporte director se instala un director de adaptación, siendo la finalidad esencial de la invención el proporcionar una configuración que ofrezca una mayor facilidad de montaje que los sistemas convencionales, determinando una gran fiabilidad y fortaleza en la correspondiente fijación y proporcionando la posibilidad de automatizar el referido montaje. En cualquier caso, se automatice o no el referido montaje, la invención permite reducir los tiempos de montaje en virtud de su sencillez y eficacia, permitiendo abaratar los costes de instalación.The present invention, as expressed in the statement of this specification refers to a support improved director of those used in panel type antennas where an adaptation director is installed on a director support, being the essential purpose of the invention is to provide a configuration that offers greater ease of assembly than conventional systems, determining high reliability and strength in the corresponding fixation and providing the possibility of automating the referred assembly. In any case, whether or not the said assembly is automated, the invention allows reduce assembly times due to its simplicity and efficiency, allowing lower installation costs.

Background of the invention

Actualmente, son conocidas las antenas de tipo panel que emplean los llamados directores de adaptación instalados en los denominados soportes directores. Dichas antenas presentan inconvenientes relativos a que los modos de sujetar los directores de adaptación en los soportes directores no son todo lo sencillos y eficientes que cabría desear.Currently, type antennas are known panel used by the so-called adaptation directors installed in the so-called director supports. These antennas they have drawbacks related to the ways of holding the directors of adaptation in the supports directors are not all Simple and efficient that one would want.

Así, según el estado actual de la técnica, el referido montaje del director de adaptación en el soporte director se efectúa mediante un saliente que poseen en la zona central los soportes directores, siendo necesario para la correspondiente instalación insertar el director de adaptación en esa parte central del soporte director, teniendo posteriormente que realizar un mecanizado en el director de adaptación para impedir que se salga de su posición, lo que implica un montaje costoso y considerablemente engorroso.Thus, according to the current state of the art, the referred assembly of the director of adaptation in the director support it is carried out by means of a projection that the central zone possesses director supports, being necessary for the corresponding installation insert the adaptation director in that central part of the director support, having subsequently to make a machining in the director of adaptation to prevent it from coming out of its position, which implies an expensive assembly and considerably cumbersome.

No conocemos en el estado actual de la técnica soportes directores para antenas de tipo panel en los que el correspondiente soporte director presente una forma de arco provisto en sus extremos de medios de conexión con el director de adaptación, según lo hace el soporte director de la presente invención.We do not know in the current state of the art director supports for panel type antennas in which the corresponding director support present an arc shape provided at its ends with means of connection with the director of adaptation, as does the director support of this invention.

Description of an embodiment of the invention

Seguidamente se realiza una descripción de un ejemplo de la invención haciendo referencia a la numeración adoptada en las figuras.Following is a description of a example of the invention with reference to numbering Adopted in the figures.

Así, el soporte director mejorado del presente ejemplo, es utilizable en antenas de tipo panel, presentando este soporte 1 forma de arco con medios de conexión 2 a un director de adaptación 3, según puede apreciarse especialmente bien en las figuras 1, 5 y 7.Thus, the improved director support of the present example, it is usable in panel type antennas, presenting this support 1 arc shape with connection means 2 to a director of adaptation 3, as can be seen especially well in the Figures 1, 5 and 7.

En el presente ejemplo dichos medios de conexión consisten en unas prolongaciones 2 hacia el interior de la forma de arco del soporte 1, estando dotadas estas prolongaciones 2 de respectivas cavidades que permiten alojar los extremos del director de adaptación 3 mediante salto elástico.In the present example, said connection means they consist of extensions 2 towards the inside of the shape of arch of support 1, these extensions 2 being provided with respective cavities that allow housing the ends of the director of adaptation 3 by elastic jump.

Como puede verse en las figuras 7, 5 y 9, el director de adaptación 3 se constituye mediante un tubo recto, realizado en aluminio, de sección circunferencial constante y provisto en sus dos extremos de respectivos taponcillos 9 con sus superficies externas redondeadas.As can be seen in figures 7, 5 and 9, the adaptation director 3 is constituted by a straight tube, made of aluminum, of constant circumferential section and provided at its two ends with respective caps 9 with their rounded outer surfaces.

Otra característica del soporte 1 del presente ejemplo consiste en que la zona central de la parte curvo-convexa de la forma de arco del mismo presenta unos medios de fijación a un array de elementos activos; consistiendo estos medios de fijación en el presente ejemplo en una prolongación del soporte 1 que dispone de una abertura por la que se introduce un tapón o pistón 7 que penetra además en un cilindro ranurado 8 dispuesto en un orificio de un tubo constituyente del array de elementos activos 6, pudiendo apreciarse la geometría de ese pistón 7 en la figura 2 y su aplicación en las figuras 7 y 8.Another feature of support 1 of the present example is that the central area of the part curved-convex of the arch form thereof it presents means of fixation to an array of active elements; these fixing means in the present example consisting of a extension of the support 1 which has an opening through which a plug or piston 7 is introduced that also penetrates a cylinder slotted 8 arranged in a hole of a constituent tube of the array of active elements 6, being able to appreciate the geometry of that piston 7 in figure 2 and its application in figures 7 and 8.

Según se ve en dichas figuras 7 y 8, la cabeza del pistón 7 retiene al soporte 1, en tanto que la parte del pistón 7 que penetra en el cilindro 8 hace que las patillas de éste, determinadas por su ranurado, se abran proporcionando una fuerte fijación entre el array 6 y el soporte 1.As seen in said figures 7 and 8, the head of the piston 7 retains the support 1, while the part of the piston 7 that penetrates the cylinder 8 causes its pins, determined by its grooving, they open providing a strong fixing between array 6 and support 1.

Además, el soporte 1 del presente ejemplo cuenta con unos medios de unión 5 a dipolos 4 que se establecen en las dos zonas adyacentes a la zona central de la parte curvo- convexa de esa forma de arco del soporte 1. En el presente ejemplo estos medios de unión consisten en unas piezas pisadoras 5, cuya geometría se aprecia especialmente bien en la figura 3 y su aplicación en la figura 4. Cada una de esas piezas pisadoras 5 se aplica a una de las referidas zonas adyacentes con tornillería convencional, tal como puede verse en las figuras 4, 7 y 8. La geometría interna de cada pieza pisadora 5 está adaptada a la del dipolo 4, con lo que los dipolos 4 quedan establemente amordazados entre el soporte 1 y las piezas pisadoras 5, según puede verse en las figuras 4 y 6.In addition, support 1 of the present example counts with joining means 5 to dipoles 4 that are established in the two zones adjacent to the central zone of the curved-convex part of that arch form of the support 1. In the present example these joining means consist of tread pieces 5, whose geometry can be seen especially well in figure 3 and its application in figure 4. Each of those tread pieces 5 is Applies to one of the aforementioned adjacent areas with screws conventional, as can be seen in Figures 4, 7 and 8. The internal geometry of each tread piece 5 is adapted to that of the dipole 4, so that dipoles 4 are stably gagged between the support 1 and the tread pieces 5, as can be seen in Figures 4 and 6.
