Abstract

A mounting device for a base station antenna includes a support member having: a first section, the first section being configured to, in a mounted state of a base station antenna and a holding pole, connect with an inner side of the base station antenna facing the holding pole in an end section of the base station antenna; a second section, the second section being configured to, in the mounted state of the base station antenna and the holding pole, extend from the first section in a direction away from the holding pole and extend beyond an end side of the end section in a longitudinal direction of the base station antenna; and a connecting portion that is connected with the second section and configured to be directly or indirectly connected to the holding pole in the mounted state of the base station antenna and the holding pole.

Claims (29)

1. A mounting device for a base station antenna, wherein the mounting device includes a support member, the support member including:

a second section, the second section being configured to, in the mounted state of the base station antenna and the holding pole, extend from the first section in a direction away from the holding pole and extend beyond an end side of the end section in a longitudinal direction of the base station antenna; and

a connecting portion, the connecting portion being connected with the second section, and the connecting portion being configured to be directly or indirectly connected to the holding pole in the mounted state of the base station antenna and the holding pole.

2. The mounting device for a base station antenna according to claim 1 , wherein the first section is configured to be connected to the inner side of the base station antenna facing the holding pole at a free end that faces away from the second section.

3. The mounting device for a base station antenna according to claim 1 , wherein the first section is configured to extend parallel to a longitudinal direction of the base station antenna in the mounted state of the base station antenna and the pole.

4. The mounting device for a base station antenna according to claim 1 , wherein the first section has a connecting member, and the connecting member is configured to connect two adjacent support members.

5. The mounting device for a base station antenna according to claim 1 , wherein the second section is configured to extend parallel to the end side of the end section of the base station antenna in the mounted state of the base station antenna and the holding pole.

6. The mounting device for a base station antenna according to claim 1 , wherein the second section is configured to, in the mounted state of the base station antenna and the holding pole, not exceed the outer side of the base station antenna facing away from the holding pole in the radial direction.

7. The mounting device for a base station antenna according to claim 1 , wherein the connecting portion is configured to extend from the second section in a direction away from the base station antenna in the mounted state of the base station antenna and the holding pole.

8. The mounting device for a base station antenna according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first section, the second section, and the connecting portion is a plate-like component.

9. The mounting device for a base station antenna according to claim 8 , wherein the first section, the second section, and the connecting portion are respectively a flat plate-like component, the second section is bent approximately 90° relative to the first section, and the connecting portion is bent approximately 90° relative to the second section.

10. The mounting device for a base station antenna according to claim 1 , wherein the mounting device includes a mounting plate, the mounting plate is configured to be mounted to a holding pole, and a connecting portion of the support member is configured for connection with the mounting plate.

11. The mounting device for a base station antenna according to claim 10 , wherein the mounting device includes a clamping device, the clamping device being configured to be fastened to the holding pole, and the mounting plate being configured to be mounted to the clamping device from above the clamping device.

12. The mounting device for a base station antenna according to claim 11 , wherein the clamping device includes a pair of clamping members, the pair of clamping members being configured to hold the holding pole tightly.

13. The mounting device for a base station antenna according to claim 10 , wherein the mounting plate has a main surface and an abutting surface bent from the main surface, the abutting surface being configured to be connected with a connecting portion of a support member, wherein the main surface has an open notch and the mounting plate is capable of being fitted onto a holding pole through the notch.

14. The mounting device for a base station antenna according to claim 13 , wherein the mounting plate has a generally hexagonal outer profile, the notch is open from the center of the main surface to one side of the hexagon, and the mounting plate has three abutting surfaces bent from the main surface, each abutting surface corresponding to one side of the hexagon, and three abutting surfaces having an angular spacing of 120°.

15. A base station antenna system, comprising:

a base station antenna, the base station antenna having two opposing end sections; and

a mounting device comprising:

a first section, the first section being configured to, in a mounted state of a base station antenna and a holding pole, connect with an inner side of the base station antenna facing the holding pole in an end section of the base station antenna;

a second section, the second section being configured to, in the mounted state of the base station antenna and the holding pole, extend from the first section in a direction away from the holding pole and extend beyond an end side of the end section in a longitudinal direction of the base station antenna; and

a connecting portion, the connecting portion being connected with the second section, and the connecting portion being configured to be directly or indirectly connected to the holding pole in the mounted state of the base station antenna and the holding pole;

wherein at least one of the two end sections of the base station antenna is mounted to a holding pole with the mounting device.

16. The base station antenna system according to claim 15 , wherein the base station antenna system includes a plurality of base station antennas, and each base station antenna is mounted to a holding pole through the mounting device in at least one of the two end sections of the base station antenna.

17. The base station antenna system according to claim 15 , wherein the base station antenna system includes three base station antennas, and each base station antenna is mounted to a holding pole through a corresponding mounting device in two end sections of the base station antenna.

18. The base station antenna system according to claim 17 , wherein the base station antenna system includes a first mounting plate, the first mounting plate being configured to be mounted to a holding pole, and three upper support members that match upper end sections of three base station antennas are connected to the first mounting plate through corresponding connecting portions.
