ANTENNA DEPLOYMENT MECHANISM Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC H01Q1/00 

FIELD: radio engineering, communication.

SUBSTANCE: to deploy the antenna 1 from the stowed position to the vertical one, the motor is turned on, as the result of which the worm 10 and the worm wheel 5 start to rotate together with the axis 4, the holder 3, the antenna 1 with the receiver 2. After the antenna 1 has reached the required position, the rotation of the axis 4 is stopped by the abutment, whereby the wheel 5 stops and the torque action from the worm 10 is transmitted to the platform 7 through the static wheel 5, which starts to rotate on the sleeve 9 about the vertical axis together with the antenna 1. To return the antenna into the stowed position, turn off the engine, if necessary fix the platform 7, and turn on the engine's reverse, as the result of which the worm 10 starts to rotate the wheel 5 and turn the antenna 1 vertically in the opposite direction. When the antenna stowed position is reached, the engine is turned off.

EFFECT: simplification of the design and reduction of power consumption.
