Abstract

An adjusting mechanism includes a base, a supporter, a connecting component and a jointing component. A slide slot is formed on the base. The supporter is pivotally connected to the base via a shaft. The connecting component is rotatably and slidably disposed on the slide slot on the base. A curved slot is formed on the connecting component. The jointing component is disposed on the supporter and slidably inserts to the curved slot on the connecting component. The connecting component slides relative to the supporter via the jointing component along a direction of the curved slot to simultaneously rotate the supporter relative to the base.

Claims (28)

1. An adjusting mechanism comprising:

a base whereon a slide slot is formed;

a supporter pivotally connected to the base via a shaft;

a connecting component rotatably and slidably disposed on the slide slot on the base, a curved slot being formed on the connecting component; and

a jointing component disposed on the supporter and slidably inserting to the curved slot on the connecting component, the connecting component sliding relative to the supporter via the jointing component along a direction of the curved slot to simultaneously rotate the supporter relative to the base.

2. The adjusting mechanism of claim 1 , wherein the adjusting mechanism further comprises a rotary set disposed on the connecting component and slidably inserting to the slide slot on the base, the connecting component rotates relative to the base via the rotary set and slides relative to the base by movement of the rotary set along a direction of the slide slot, a distance is formed between the rotary set and each section of the curved slot.

3. The adjusting mechanism of claim 2 , wherein a distance between the rotary set and an end of the curved slot is smaller than a distance between the rotary set and the other end of the curved slot, and the curved slot is an arc slot.

4. The adjusting mechanism of claim 3 , wherein a distance between the rotary set and a section between two ends of the curved slot is different from a distance between the rotary set and another section of the curved slot.

5. The adjusting mechanism of claim 1 , further comprising:

a constraining component disposed inside the curved slot on the connecting component to constrain movement of the jointing component relative to the curved slot.

6. The adjusting mechanism of claim 1 , further comprising:

a fixing component piercing through the base and the supporter to prevent the supporter and the base from pivot.

7. The adjusting mechanism of claim 1 , further comprising:

a contacting component detachably disposed inside an opening on the connecting component to rotate the connecting component relative to the base and to simultaneously slide the connecting component relative to the jointing component along the direction of the curved slot.

8. An antenna system comprising:

an antenna module;

a tube; and

an adjusting mechanism disposed between the antenna module and the tube, the adjusting mechanism comprising:

a base whereon a slide slot is formed;

a supporter pivotally connected to the base via a shaft;

a connecting component rotatably and slidably disposed on the slide slot on the base, a curved slot being formed on the connecting component; and

a jointing component disposed on the supporter and slidably inserting to the curved slot on the connecting component, the connecting component sliding relative to the supporter via the jointing component along a direction of the curved slot to simultaneously rotate the supporter relative to the base.

9. The antenna system of claim 8 , wherein the adjusting mechanism further comprises a rotary set disposed on the connecting component and slidably inserting to the slide slot on the base, the connecting component rotates relative to the base via the rotary set and slides relative to the base by movement of the rotary set along a direction of the slide slot, a distance is formed between the rotary set and each section of the curved slot.

10. The antenna system of claim 9 , wherein a distance between the rotary set and an end of the curved slot is smaller than a distance between the rotary set and the other end of the curved slot, and the curved slot is an arc slot.

11. The antenna system of claim 10 , wherein a distance between the rotary set and a section between two ends of the curved slot is different from a distance between the rotary set and another section of the curved slot.

12. The antenna system of claim 8 , wherein the adjusting mechanism further comprises a constraining component disposed inside the curved slot on the connecting component to constrain movement of the jointing component relative to the curved slot.

13. The antenna system of claim 8 , wherein the adjusting mechanism further comprises a fixing component piercing through the base and the supporter to prevent the supporter and the base from pivot.

14. The antenna system of claim 8 , wherein the adjusting mechanism further comprises a contacting component detachably disposed inside an opening on the connecting component to rotate the connecting component relative to the base and to simultaneously slide the connecting component relative to the jointing component along the direction of the curved slot.
