As shown in fig. 5, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a method for automatically adjusting an antenna board of a 5G millimeter wave CPE, which is applied to a single chip microcomputer, and includes:

step S11: receiving a signal intensity detection signal, controlling a stepping motor to drive the antenna plate to rotate for a circle according to the signal intensity detection signal, and storing the position of the antenna plate; meanwhile, the interrupt signal is output to the 5G module; the antenna plate is connected with a stepping motor which controls the antenna plate to rotate;

specifically, with reference to fig. 1, the MCU controls the GPIO to output a fixed number of variable frequency pulses according to the initial position information read out from the EEPROM, thereby controlling the rotation of the antenna plate.

The antenna plate rotates anticlockwise for multiple times to complete one rotation, and after each rotation is finished, the current position of the antenna plate is stored through the EEPROM.

Step S12: acquiring the target position of the antenna plate according to the feedback of the 5G module;

specifically, the pulse number of the pulse which rotates clockwise to the target position is converted according to the target position information provided by the 5G module, and the GPIO is used for outputting the variable frequency pulse of the fixed pulse.

Step S13: and controlling the stepping motor to rotate the antenna plate to the target position according to the target position of the antenna plate.

Specifically, with reference to fig. 1, the MCU determines whether the antenna board moves to a target position after the GPIO port outputs a fixed pulse by using an orthogonal decoder (encoder) or an ADC (angle sensor), and if so, updates the position information to the EEPROM, and outputs an interrupt signal to the 5G module through the GPIO to enter a standby state; if not, the number of the pulses which are not needed to be supplemented is calculated through the error, and the frequency conversion pulses with the fixed number are output through the GPIO to eliminate the error.

According to the embodiment of the invention, the movement precision of the antenna plate is improved, the position of the antenna plate can be automatically reset and calibrated after the CPE is started at 5G mmW, the problems of locked rotor caused by the fact that the movement of the stepping motor exceeds the limit and LCP (liquid Crystal display) lines or coaxial lines are disconnected are effectively avoided, and the position of the antenna plate can be automatically adjusted; in addition, a distributed control scheme is adopted, the control of the stepping motor and the closed-loop feedback of a speed loop and a position loop are realized by using the MCU, meanwhile, the I2C is used for communication, relevant interfaces of the 5G module are released, the installation of a limit switch is cancelled, and the size of the 5G mmW CPE equipment is reduced.

Referring to fig. 6, an alternative embodiment of the present invention, in step S11, before the receiving the signal strength detection signal, includes:

step S111: receiving a signal of the position of the antenna plate obtained by the 5G module, and feeding back the position of the antenna plate to the 5G module;

specifically, the MCU waits for the 5G module to send a signal for resetting the antenna board, if the antenna board in the initial state is not at the position (initial position) of 0 degree, the 5G module outputs a reset signal through I2C, and the MCU controls the GPIO to output a fixed number of variable frequency pulses according to the initial position information read out by the EEPROM;

wherein, the pulse of the stepping motor is controlled and output by the differential algorithm, because if the fixed low-frequency pulse is used, the motor rotates very slowly; if a fixed high-frequency pulse is used, motor locking occurs in a starting state, so that an acceleration-constant speed-deceleration pulse output process is needed.

step S114: and storing the current position of the antenna plate every N degrees of rotation of the antenna plate.

Specifically, the current position of the antenna plate is stored every time the antenna plate rotates by N degrees; specifically, after the MCU utilizes orthogonal decoding or ADC detection to confirm that the GPIO port outputs fixed pulses, after the antenna board completes sequential rotation, whether the antenna board moves to a preset position or not is judged, if yes, position information is updated to an EEPROM, and an interrupt signal is output to the 5G module through the GPIO port until the antenna board completes one rotation; if not, the number of the pulses which are not needed to be supplemented is calculated through errors (the pulses of GPIO supplementary response are controlled according to the difference fed back by the encoder or the angle sensor), and the frequency conversion pulses with fixed number are output through the GPIO to eliminate the errors. The MCU stores the position information in a fixed area of the EEPROM; for example: 0x12, where the default direction is counterclockwise, 12 indicates the number of rotations, 01 indicates 1 rotation and 15 °, so 0x12 indicates that 18x15 ° counterclockwise (in hexadecimal terms) is 270 °, and clockwise is counted down; the parameter is updated each time the location is completed.

step S141: calculating target pulse according to the target position;

step S142: outputting the target pulse to the stepping motor;

step S143: and the target pulse controls the stepping motor to drive the antenna plate to rotate reversely to the target position.

Specifically, the MCU utilizes orthogonal decoding or ADC to detect and confirm whether the antenna board moves to a target position after the GPIO port outputs a fixed pulse, if so, the MCU updates position information to the EEPROM, outputs interrupt information to the 5G module through the GPIO port and enters a standby state; if not, the number of the pulses which are not needed to be supplemented is calculated through the error, and the frequency conversion pulses with the fixed number are output through the GPIO to eliminate the error.

As shown in fig. 6, the orthogonal coding may be implemented by a MCU timer pin, where the falling edge of item a is corresponding to the high level of phase B, the motor rotates in reverse (clockwise), and the rising edge of item a is corresponding to the high level of phase B, the motor rotates in forward (counterclockwise).

step S141: outputting L pulses to the stepping motor; the single chip microcomputer is connected with an abnormal power failure prevention power supply;

specifically, 1) the MCU receives signals which are sent by the 5G module and need to rotate the stepping motor, wherein the signals comprise antenna plate reset signals, network monitoring signals or signals of the antenna plate moving to a specified angle; the MCU outputs variable frequency pulses corresponding to the number of the pulses;

2) abnormal power failure of the 5G mmW CPE suddenly occurs in the certain process;

3) the stepping motor and the 5G module are powered off, and the abnormal power failure prevention power supply (50mAh small battery) supplies power to the MCU through the diode, so that the MCU still continues to operate, and fixed pulse transmission is completed.

Step S142: and acquiring the position of the antenna plate, and judging whether the 5G millimeter wave CPE is powered down or not according to the position of the antenna plate.

The MCU utilizes orthogonal decoding or ADC to detect whether the antenna board moves to a preset position after finishing sequential rotation after confirming that the GPIO port outputs the fixed pulse; due to the power loss during the movement of the stepping motor, the encoder only returns a part of the pulse, namely, a part of the pulse is not executed.

Specifically, two situations can exist in the abnormal power failure of the 5G mmW CPE: a. the stepping motor finishes the relevant movement, and at the moment, the MCU only needs to update the position information to the EEPROM; b. the stepping motor does not complete relative movement, and the position area information is not updated at the moment, so that the movement information of abnormal power failure needs to be stored in another storage area of the EEPROM;

for example: 0x100123, where 0x1 of the highest byte represents the direction of rotation, 0 counter-clockwise, 1 clockwise; the remaining low byte 0x00123 represents 291 pulses (hexadecimal for example), so that the specific byte size depends on the total number of pulses required for the antenna board to rotate 360 ° because the stepping motor has walked 291 pulses before abnormal power failure.

According to the embodiment of the invention, the small battery power-down prevention circuit with 50mAh is used as the standby battery of the MCU, so that the charging of the small battery and the instant power supply of abnormal power failure can be realized, and the MCU can detect and store the position of the power-down antenna board; the problem that position information of a traditional CPE antenna board is lost after abnormal power failure is solved, and the traditional CPE antenna board can be accurately reset to an initial position again after being electrified and started again.

Referring to fig. 8, in an optional embodiment of the present invention, in step S142, the obtaining the position of the antenna board, and determining whether the 5G millimeter wave CPE has a power failure according to the position of the antenna board include:

step S1421: detecting whether the antenna plate rotates by N degrees at the I-th rotation; wherein I is the rotation frequency of the antenna plate, and I is more than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to M/N;

step S1422: if yes, judging that the 5G millimeter wave CPE is not powered down, storing the current position of the antenna board, and outputting an interrupt signal to the 5G module.

Step S1422: if not, judging that the 5G millimeter wave CPE is abnormally powered down.

Specifically, the MCU judges whether the current position of the antenna plate reaches a preset position after the rotation is completed, if so, the position information is updated to the EEPROM, and the GPIO sends an interrupt signal to the 5G module until the M/N rotation is completed.

Referring to fig. 8, an optional embodiment of the present invention, in step S1422, after determining that the 5G millimeter wave CPE abnormally loses power, includes:

step S14221: confirming abnormal power failure of the 5G millimeter wave CPE;

the determining the abnormal power failure of the 5G millimeter wave CPE comprises the following steps:

step S142211: outputting a detection pulse to the stepping motor;

step S142212: if the feedback signal of the stepping motor is not received, determining that the 5G millimeter wave CPE is abnormally powered down;

specifically, if the preset position after the rotation is not reached, the GPIO is controlled to output pulses to eliminate position errors (the GPIO is controlled to supplement corresponding pulses according to the difference fed back by the encoder or the angle sensor, and at the moment, the stepping motor is out of power and cannot move, so that the encoder or the angle sensor has no feedback); abnormal power failure of the 5 GmmW CPE can be confirmed.

Step S14223: and storing the current position of the antenna board to the EEPROM, and outputting an interrupt signal to the 5G module.

Specifically, the MCU judges whether the data of the encoder or the angle sensor is changed, and if the data of the encoder or the angle sensor is changed, whether the antenna plate reaches a preset position is judged; if the data is not changed, the rotation direction (clockwise or anticlockwise) of the stepping motor is recorded, and the encoder feeds back the pulse number or the angle deflection value to the EEPROM.

After the 5G mmW CPE is powered on again, the 5G module can be started to read position information, the 5G module can acquire the total number of pulses of the antenna board moving from a certain angle to a certain direction before abnormal power failure, and the antenna board is controlled to reset to the initial position based on the data.

Specifically, the 5G module judges whether the current antenna board position is an initial position, i.e., a 0 ° position, and if not, sends an antenna board reset signal to the MCU through I2C, and the MCU restores the control antenna board to the initial position state and outputs an interrupt signal to the 5G module through a GPIO. And the 5G module starts signal detection to acquire the 5G signal strength of the initial position after verifying that the current antenna board position is the initial position through the interrupt signal, and records the position and the corresponding signal strength.

After finishing signal strength record 5G module can be through I2C signal to MCU of sending detection 5G signal strength, MCU control antenna panel is rotatory, and rotation angle is 15 at every turn, MCU can pass through GPIO output interrupt signal and give the 5G module after antenna panel rotates to corresponding preset position.

step S231: receiving an interrupt signal of the singlechip through GPIO;

step S232: and storing the current position of the antenna plate and the corresponding signal strength according to the interrupt signal, and forming a group of data.
