DETAILED DESCRIPTIONS OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0025] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] According to the antenna wiring sleeve and the antenna assembly provided with the wiring sleeve as disclosed by the present invention, the wiring sleeve is additionally arranged on a pole, and antenna cables on the pole are disposed outside the wiring sleeve and pass through the antenna, such that the antenna cables are axially wired along the outside of the pole, thereby saving space, achieving an aesthetically pleasing and neat appearance, and facilitating assembly.

[0027] As shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, an embodiment of the present invention discloses an antenna assembly. The antenna assembly comprises a pole 100, a plurality of antenna 200 and a plurality of wiring sleeves 300. The plurality of antenna 200 are mounted on the pole 100, and are vertically distributed along the axial direction of the pole 100. Except for the antenna 200 positioned on the topmost of the pole 100, the remaining antennas 200 on the pole 100 are internally provided with a wiring sleeve 300 respectively. The cable 400 of the upper antenna 200 passes through the wiring sleeve 300 in the lower antenna 200 and is axially wired by passing through the lower antenna 200 along the outside of the pole 100.

[0028] Specifically, in the present embodiment, the pole 100 is integrally formed in a strip-shaped cylinder structure for fixing the antenna 200.

[0029] As shown in FIG. 2, each antenna 200 comprises a hollow antenna housing 201 and cover plates 202 disposed on the upper end surface and the lower end surface of the antenna housing 201, wherein each of the upper and lower cover plates 202 is provided with a through hole 203 for the pole 100 to pass through, and the two through holes 202 correspond in position and are generally formed in the center of the cover plate 202. Each antenna 200 is sleeved on the pole 100 through the two through holes 203. In this embodiment, the antenna housing 201 is in, but not limited to, a hollow cylindrical shape.

[0030] As shown in FIG. 2, a plurality of cable connectors 204 for connection of cables are disposed on the cover plate 202 at the lower end of the antenna housing 201. Each cable connector 204 corresponds to one antenna cable 400.

[0031] As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, each wiring sleeve 300 comprises a sleeve body 301 and a plurality of wiring grooves 302 formed in the sleeve body 301. In this embodiment, the sleeve body 301 is of a hollow cylindrical tubular structure in conjunction with the shape of the pole 100, is sleeved on the pole 100 and is positioned inside the antenna housing 201 of the antenna.

[0032] As shown in FIG. 3, each wiring groove 302 is axially distributed on the outside surface of the sleeve body; and the plurality of wiring grooves 302 is uniformly distributed on the outside surface of the sleeve body 301 in the circumferential direction. In this embodiment, the wiring grooves 302 are uniformly distributed on the sleeve body 301. Each wiring groove 302 allows one antenna cable 400 to pass through. Of course, each wiring groove 302 may also allow more than one cable to pass through, but from the viewpoint of saving wiring space, it is preferable to allow one antenna cable 400 to pass through. It is also possible that the wiring grooves 302 in the wiring sleeve 300 may be vacant. As shown in FIG. 6, in this embodiment, wiring grooves 302 are formed in the sleeve body 301 of the wiring sleeve, and the wiring sleeve 300 may be made of aluminum alloy or plastic.

[0033] In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, each wiring groove 302 specifically comprises a cable accommodating groove 303 and a limiting groove 304 which are integrated and communicated with each other, wherein the cable accommodating groove 303 is disposed close to the outside surface of the sleeve body 301 and allows the antenna cables 400 to pass through. In this embodiment, the cable accommodating groove 303 is, but not limited to, a semi-arc-shaped groove. When the cable accommodating groove 303 allows one antenna cable 400 to pass through, the diameter of the cable accommodating groove 303 is slightly larger than the diameter of the antenna cable 400.

[0034] The limiting groove 304 is disposed outside the cable accommodating groove 303, is formed by shrinking inwards from the end outside the cable accommodating groove 303 and used to limit the antenna cables 400 passing through the wiring groove 302 in the cable accommodating groove 303. In this embodiment, it is set that the width of one end of the limiting groove 304 close to the cable accommodating groove 303 is slightly smaller than the diameter of each antenna cable 100, such that the antenna cables 400 can be limited in the cable accommodating groove 303. The other end of the limiting groove 304 is in an open state. Of course, the wiring groove 302 is not limited to the structure described herein, and other structures that allow the antenna cables 400 to pass through are also applicable to the present invention.

[0035] Furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the wiring sleeve 300 is further sleeved with an encapsulating casing 500 whose shape corresponds to the shape of the sleeve body 301 of the wiring sleeve 302. The encapsulating casing 500 is integrally in, but not limited to, a hollow cylindrical structure having an open upper end and an open lower end. The encapsulating casing 500 is sleeved outside the wiring sleeve 300, and has the same function as the limiting groove 304, i.e., limiting the antenna cables 400 inside the cable accommodating groove 303 on the one hand; and on the other hand, the encapsulating casing 500 plays a role of isolating and shielding the previous antenna cable 400 from the antenna 200 passed thereby.

[0036] In addition, a mounting clearance is formed between the two upper and lower antennas 200 adjacent to each other. Preferably, as shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, a supporting member 600 is disposed inside the mounting clearance. The supporting member 600 is fixed on the pole 100. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, the supporting member 600 specifically comprises a hollow integrated upper supporting surface 601, a lower end surface 602 and a plurality of supporting portions 603 connecting the upper supporting surface 601 and the lower end surface 602. The diameter of the hollow portion of the upper support surface 601 is larger than the diameter of the hollow portion of the lower end surface 602, such that the inner wall of the lower end surface 602 is attached to the pole 100. Each supporting portion 603 comprises a first portion 605 extending downwards from the upper supporting surface 601, a connecting portion 606 bent inwards from the first portion 605, and a second portion 607 extending downwards from the connecting portion 606, and a hollow portion 604 is formed between the adjacent portions 603. Each antenna cable 400 extends downwards from the hollow portion 604 of the upper supporting surface 601 through the hollow portion 604. Therein, the upper supporting surface 601 is fixed to the cover plate 202 at the lower end of the antenna 200 by screws, and part of the supporting portion 603 is fixed to the pole 100 by screws. The screws are respectively fixed to the first portion 605 and the second portion 607 of the supporting portion 603, thereby fixing the entire antenna 200 to the pole 100.

[0037] In this way, when the antennas are wired, one end of the cable 400 on the upper antenna is connected to the cable connector 204 of the antenna, and the other end of the cable 400 extends downwards and passes through the lower antenna via the corresponding wiring groove 302 on the wiring sleeve 300 in the lower antenna. The cable 400 on the lowermost antenna is connected to a device (not shown) on the ground below the cable 400. In this case, the wiring is distinct, and the cables 400 are limited in the wiring grooves 302, without occupying the wiring space and affecting the product performances. The problem of the difficulty in wiring is also solved for customers. In addition, the wiring sleeves 300 are sleeved on the pole 100 and are thus replaced conveniently.

[0038] The technical content and technical features of the present invention have been disclosed as above, and those skilled in the art can still make various substitutions and modifications without departing from the teaching and disclosure of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention should not be limited to the contents disclosed in the embodiments, but should include various substitutions and modifications without departing from the present invention, and should be covered by the claims of this patent application.
