The invention relates to a foldable expandable
umbrella antenna structure framework and an expansion method. The structure framework comprises a foundation, a first level rod, a rotation shaft, a second level rod, a
torsion spring, a clamping member, a spring, a
rope, a connection rod, a nut and a screw, wherein the foundation is circumferentially connected with the bottom end of the first level rod through the rotation shaft, the top end of the first level rod is in hinge connection with the bottom end of the second level rod through the
torsion spring, the clamping member, the spring, the
rope and the rotation shaft form the clamping structure, the second level rod is folded and is bent, the top end is clamped in the clamping structure, the lower portion of the first level rod is circumferentially connected with the nut through the connection rod, the nut is mounted on the screw to form a screw nut structure, the nut is driven by the screw to move upwards, the structure framework is folded; the nut is driven by the screw to move downwards, the structure frame is expanded, the rotation shaft rotates to a certain angle, the
rope is pulled to open the clamping structure to release constraint, and the second level rod is driven by the
torsion spring to open; the structure framework is expanded. The
umbrella antenna structure framework has advantages of small folding dimension, large expansion dimension, repeatable folding and expansion, small and light structure and high reliability.
