Wherein the retractor comprises a bungee cord, that is, the bungee cord is coupled to at least one steel tube radiator and an inverter. For example, when the antenna is changed from the unfolded state to the portable state, the elasticity of the elastic rope is required to be utilized, the elastic rope is pulled to the maximum extent, the nesting between the steel pipe radiator and between the steel pipe radiator and the phase inverter is manually released, the antenna is divided into a plurality of sections, and then the antenna can be conveniently carried by folding the antenna. In the case of the antenna from the unfolded state to the portable state, the nesting between the steel pipe radiator and the steel pipe radiator, and the nesting between the steel pipe radiator and the inverter are only broken, and the elastic cord is not broken. Therefore, when the antenna is changed from a portable state to an unfolding state, the elasticity of the elastic rope is utilized, the folded antenna is thrown by force, the diameter of one end of the steel pipe radiator is large, the diameter of the other end of the steel pipe radiator is small, and if the diameter of the first end of the steel pipe radiator is larger than that of the second end of the steel pipe radiator, the connection between the steel pipe radiator and the steel pipe radiator is realized by nesting the first end of the steel pipe radiator and the second end of the steel pipe radiator under the action of external force.

In this way, when the antenna changes from a portable state to an unfolding state, the folded antenna is thrown by force, the connection between the steel pipe radiator and the connection between the steel pipe radiator and the phase inverter can be firmer due to the friction-resistant threads, the stability of the antenna is improved, and the problem that the stability of the antenna is poor due to improper operation when the antenna is unfolded after being folded is prevented, and the performance of the antenna is affected.
In one possible implementation, the second end of the steel tube radiator is externally sleeved with anti-friction silica gel, and the two ends of the inverter are externally sleeved with anti-friction silica gel. In this way, when the antenna changes from a portable state to an unfolding state, the folded antenna is thrown by force, the connection between the steel pipe radiator and the connection between the steel pipe radiator and the phase inverter can be firmer due to the friction-resistant silica gel, the stability of the antenna is improved, and the problem that the stability of the antenna is poor due to improper operation when the antenna is unfolded after being folded is prevented, and the performance of the antenna is affected.
In a possible implementation manner, the diameters of the first end and the second end of the steel tube radiator are consistent, and the diameters of the two ends and the middle part of the phase inverter are also consistent, so that when the antenna is changed from the unfolded state to the portable state, the elasticity of the elastic rope is utilized to pull the elastic rope to the maximum extent, the antenna is divided into a plurality of sections, and then the antenna is convenient to carry by folding the antenna. When the antenna is changed from a portable state to an unfolding state, the elasticity of the elastic rope is utilized, the folded antenna is thrown by force, and the steel pipe radiator is connected with the steel pipe radiator through the elastic rope. The steel pipe radiator is connected with the phase inverter through elastic ropes.
