Description

波导和车内通信系统
技术领域
本发明涉及一种用于传输电磁波的波导(wave guide),以及一种使用该波导的车内通信系统。
背景技术
车内通信系统采用使用电线的线束是众所周知的。图1示出这样的传统的车内通信系统。图1中的传统的车内通信系统100包括:第一线束101,其安装在内部空间中;以及第二线束102,其安装在发动机舱中。第一线束101包括:多条电线W,以及连接到每条电线W的两侧的多个连接器111。第二线束102包括:多条电线W,以及连接到每条电线W的两侧的多个连接器112。利用例如绑带将电线W捆在一起成为小直径。第一线束101的连接器111在内部空间和发动机舱的边界处连接到第二线束102的相应的连接器112。这些连接提供了穿过车辆内部的各个空间之间的边界的传输路径。
在车内通信系统100中,目前随着车内电路的增加,电线W的数量趋向于增加,并且每捆电线W的直径相应地增加。因此,存在车辆内部的安装空间的问题,或存在第一线束101和第二线束102的重量增加的问题。另外,连接在内部空间和发动机舱之间的连接器的数量增加,这需要大量的工作来连接连接器。

具体实施方式
下面将参考附图说明本发明的各实施例。
第一实施例
图2至图4示出本发明的第一实施例。
如图2所示,根据第一实施例的车内通信系统1跨越内部空间和发动机舱之间的边界安装,并且包括:第一波导线束WH1,其安装在内部空间中;以及第二波导线束WH2,其安装在发动机舱中。第一波导线束WH1和第二波导线束WH2的每个都包括:波导10、波导凸缘20、设置在波导10的分支部位处的分支部30,以及装接于波导10的一个端部的智能连接器40。
第一波导线束WH1的波导10和第二波导线束WH2的波导10经由在内部空间和发动机舱之间的边界处的每个波导凸缘20而相互连接。
第一波导线束WH1和第二波导线束WH2的每个都包括:两条电线W1和W2,以及装接于电线W1和W2的连接器50。第一波导线束WH1的连接器50和第二波导线束WH2的连接器50在内部空间和发动机舱之间的边界处相互连接。
智能连接器40具有:天线功能,其发送并且接收电磁波;转换功能,其将由天线接收到的电磁波转换成电信号;以及发送功能,其将电信号转换成电磁波并且将所转换的电磁波输出到天线。即,智能连接器40用作为波导10和电线W的接合部件,从而将数据在电磁波和电信号之间转换。
如图3A和图3B所示,每个波导10都包括:波导本体11,其是中空的并且由形状保持材料制成;导电内涂层12,其是导电的并且设置在波导本体11的内表面上;以及两条电线W1和W2,其沿着波导本体11的外表面设置。导电内涂层12的内部空间用作为电磁波的传输路径。波导10输送作为信号的、诸如微波或毫米波的极高频段的电磁波。
波导本体11由具有噪声屏蔽特性的绝缘合成树脂(例如,氯乙烯)制成,并且柔性地形成。或者,波导本体11可以是导体或者半导体,或可以由纸或金属制成。波导本体11形成为中空筒状。
导电内涂层12通过例如用导电金属(诸如铁、铜,和铝)电镀而形成。导电内涂层12以均匀厚度设置在波导本体11的整个内表面上。
电线W1和W2中的一条用作为电力线,并且另一条用作为地线,并且电线W1和W2传输电力。可以设置两条以上的电线。
如图2和图4所示,盖体15装接于波导本体11的开口缘。吸收电磁波的电磁波吸收器16设置在盖体15的内部。电磁波吸收器16防止电磁波的漫反射,从而实现稳定的通信性能。
如上所述,由于波导10能够传输电力和信号这二者,所以该实施例能够提供能够传输电力的波导10和使用该波导10的车内通信系统1。
当每个波导线束WH1和WH2的波导凸缘20之间的部分连接在内部空间和发动机舱之间的边界处时,第一波导线束WH1和第二波导线束WH2的各个波导10能够利用电磁波进行多路通信。这提高了连接的效率。
由于波导本体11柔性地形成,并且因此沿着任意安装路径布线是可能的,所以实现了高安装性能。
电线W1和W2可以沿着波导本体11的外表面固定。电线W1和W2的设置增加了波导10的弯曲刚性。即,在保持波导10的传输路径的横截面形状(圆形)的同时该弯曲波导10这一点上,这样的构造是有效的。
根据第一实施例的波导10在波导本体11的内表面上设置有导电内涂层12。或者,具有导电性的导电外涂层可以设置在波导本体11的外表面上,来代替导电内涂层12。
(波导的修改例)
以下说明根据第一实施例的波导10的修改例。
如图5中所示,根据第一实施例的第一修改例的波导10A包括:波导本体11,其是中空的并且由形状保持材料制成;导电内涂层12,其是导电的,并且设置在波导本体11的内表面上;以及电线W1,其沿着波导本体11的外表面设置。导电内涂层12用作为地线,并且电线W1用作为电力线,导电内涂层12和电线W1传输电力。如第一实施例的情况那样,波导本体11由绝缘合成树脂形成,并且柔性地形成为筒状。
电线W1优选地固定于波导本体11的外表面。电线W1的设置增加了波导10A的弯曲刚性。即,在保持波导10A的传输路径的横截面形状(圆形)的同时该弯曲波导10A这一点上,这样的构造是有效的。
第一修改例还可以设置有导电外涂层,该导电外涂层是导电的,并且设置在波导本体11的外表面上,来代替导电内涂层12。
如图6所示,根据第一实施例的第二修改例的波导10B包括:波导本体11,其是中空的并且由形状保持材料制成;导电内涂层12,其是导电的,并且设置在波导本体11的内表面上;以及导电外涂层13,其是导电的,并且设置在波导本体11的外表面上。导电内涂层12用作为电力线,并且导电外涂层13用作为地线。如第一实施例的情况那样,导电内涂层12和导电外涂层13传输电力。波导本体11由绝缘合成树脂制成,并且柔性地形成为筒状。
第二修改例的波导10B与第一实施例的波导10和第一修改例的波导10A的不同之处在于:波导10B上没有设置电线。这进一步有助于减小传输路径的直径和重量,并且简化车辆内部的空间之间的连接构造,从而提高连接的效率。
绝缘保护涂覆可以进一步设置在导电外涂层13的外表面上,绝缘保护涂覆可以由氯乙烯制成。绝缘保护涂覆保护导电外涂层13。
如在图7中所示,根据第一实施例的第三修改例的波导10C包括:波导本体11,其是中空的并且由形状保持材料制成;以及导电内涂层12,其是导电的,并且设置在波导11的内表面上。不存在传输电力的独立的线,而是电磁波传输电力和信号这二者。如第一实施例的情况那样,波导本体11由绝缘合成树脂制成并且柔性地形成为筒状。
第三修改例的波导10C与第一实施例的波导10和第一修改例的波导10A的不同之处在于:波导10C上没有设置电线。这有助于减小传输路径的直径和重量,并且简化车内的每个隔舱之间的连接构造,从而提高连接的效率。
根据第三修改例的波导10C还可以在波导本体11的外表面上设置导电外涂层,来代替导电内涂层12。
如图8A至图8C所示,根据第一实施例的第四修改例的波导10D包括:波导本体11,其是中空的并且由形状保持材料制成;导电内涂层12,其是导电的,并且设置在波导本体11的内表面上;以及两条电线W1和W2,其设置在波导本体11内部。波导本体11由绝缘合成树脂制成,并且以与第一实施例的波导10相同的方式柔性地形成为筒状。
电线W1和W2优选地布置成彼此近似180度。每条电线W1和W2可以由绞合导体、单芯导体,或压缩导体制成。电线W1和W2中的一个用作为电力线,并且另一个用作为地线。根据第四修改例的波导10D的电线W1和W2以与第一实施例的波导10相同的方式传输电力。可以设置两条以上的电线。
电线W1和W2提高了波导10D的弯曲刚性。即,在保持波导10D的传输路径的横截面形状(圆形)的同时弯曲该波导10D这一点上,电线W1和W2的设置是有效的。
电线W1和W2彼此成近似180度的布置能够有效地防止波导本体11受到外力挤压。
根据第四修改例的波导10D还可以在波导本体11的外表面上设置导电外涂层,来代替导电内涂层12。
(第二实施例)
图9示出了本发明的第二实施例。
如图9中所示,在车内通信系统中使用的波导线束WH包括:波导10;以及装接于波导10的末端的诸如电子控制单元(ECU)60和智能连接器40的电子部件。波导10利用分支部(未示出)来分支。
根据第二实施例的波导10的构造与第一实施例的波导的构造相同,并且因此省略其解释。另外,图9没有示出两条电线。波导10可以使用根据第一实施例的各个修改例的波导10A至10D中的任何的波导。每个ECU60都是包括第一实施例中的智能连接器40的相似功能的控制器。
由于根据第二实施例的波导本体也柔性地形成,所以沿着任意的安装路径布线是可能的。此外,波导10能够传输电力和信号这二者。因此,第二实施例能够提供能够传输电力的波导10以及使用该波导10的车内通信系统,同时具有高安装性能。
(其它实施例)
虽然在各个实施例中的波导本体11具有圆形横截面,但是只要该波导本体11是中空的管状体,则波导本体11可以是具有例如矩形横截面的任意形状。
在导电内涂层12设置在波导本体11的内表面上,并且波导本体11由保护材料制成的情况下,可以通过增加该波导本体11的厚度的方式使波导本体11起到外部保护部件(诸如保护器或波纹部件)的作用。这样的构造能够从波导线束WH去除任何附加的外部保护部件。
