Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Antennenanordnung für ein Fahrzeug nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1, wobei die Antennenanordnung unter einer Fahrzeugscheibe zu montieren ist.The present invention relates to an antenna arrangement for a vehicle according to the Preamble of claim 1, wherein the antenna arrangement under one Vehicle window is to be mounted.

Antennen, die unter einer Kraftfahrzeugscheibe, insbesondere der Heckscheibe, angebracht werden, dienen dem Zweck, daß die Antennen u.a. aus aerodynamischen Gründen nicht von der Fahrzeugkarosserie hervorstehen. Zudem wird dadurch ein Mißbrauch durch Dritte, beispielsweise durch Abbrechen der Antenne, oder eine Beschädigung in Waschanlagen etc. verhindert.Antennas, which are under a motor vehicle window, in particular the rear window, are used for the purpose that the antennas, among others. from aerodynamic Reasons do not protrude from the vehicle body. It also becomes a Misuse by third parties, for example by breaking the antenna, or one Damage in washing systems etc. prevented.

Bei derartigen gebräuchlichen Antennen kann es sich beispielsweise um Radio- oder TV-Antennen handeln. Darüber hinaus kann es sich auch um Antennen zum Empfangen von GPS-Signalen ("Global Positioning System"), zum Senden/Empfangen von Mobilfunksignalen oder um Antennen für Schließ- und Sicherungsmechanismen handeln.Such common antennas can be, for example, radio or TV antennas act. It can also be used to receive antennas GPS signals ("Global Positioning System"), for sending / receiving Mobile signals or act as antennas for locking and security mechanisms.

Aus der DE 44 03 643 A1 ist eine Antennenanordnung bekannt, welche verdeckt hinter einer Glasscheibe eines Kraftfahrzeugs angeordnet ist. Die Glasflächen von Fahrzeugen werden jedoch in zunehmendem Maße zur Sichttönung und Wärmetönung metallisiert. Eine solche Metallisierung liegt dabei innerhalb der entsprechenden Verbundglasscheibe, während die Antennen an der Innenseite der Glasscheibe angeordnet ist. Durch die metallisierte Außenschicht der Glasscheibe wird jedoch die elektromagnetische Ankopplung der Antenne vom Innenraum der Fahrzeugs nach außen hin gestört.From DE 44 03 643 A1 an antenna arrangement is known, which is concealed behind a glass pane of a motor vehicle is arranged. The glass surfaces of vehicles are, however, increasingly metallized for visual tinting and thermal tinting. Such a metallization lies within the corresponding one Laminated glass pane while the antennas are on the inside of the glass pane is arranged. Due to the metallized outer layer of the glass pane, however electromagnetic coupling of the antenna from the interior of the vehicle to the outside disturbed there.

Daher wurde in der DE 198 24 414 A1 vorgeschlagen, partiell unmetallisierte Scheiben zu verwenden und die Antennenanordnung an der Karosserie des Fahrzeugs an einer derartigen Position zu befestigen, daß die Antenne unter einem unmetallisierten Bereich der entsprechenden Scheibe auf der dem Fahrgastraum zugewandten Seite angeordnet ist. DE 198 24 414 A1 therefore proposed partially unmetallized disks to use and the antenna arrangement on the body of the vehicle on a position such that the antenna is under an unmetallized area the corresponding pane on the side facing the passenger compartment is.

Weitere bekannte Unterglasantennen werden auf die dem Fahrgastraum zugewandte Seite einer entsprechende Fahrzeugscheibe geklebt. Aufgrund der vorgegebenen Montagereihenfolge, welche eine Montage zunächst des Himmels im Fahrgastraum und erst anschließend der Scheibe vorsieht, ist eine Verkabelung der Antenne nach Einsetzen der Scheibe nicht mehr möglich. Die Antenne muß vor dem Himmel montiert werden.Other known underglaze antennas are directed towards the passenger compartment Glued side of a corresponding vehicle window. Because of the given Assembly sequence, which is first an assembly of the sky in the passenger compartment and Only after the pane provides for the antenna to be wired It is no longer possible to insert the disc. The antenna must be mounted in front of the sky become.

Die Fahrzeugscheibe, beispielsweise die Heckscheibe, unter der die Antenne angebracht sein soll, wird in der Regel mit Hilfe eines Klebstoffs an dem Rohbau bzw. der Karosserie des Fahrzeugs befestigt. Die Dicke des Klebstoffs unterliegt jedoch gewissen Toleranzen, welche die Wirkung der unter der Scheibe angeordneten Antenne stark beeinflussen können.The vehicle window, for example the rear window, under which the antenna is attached should be, is usually with the help of an adhesive on the body shell or the body attached to the vehicle. However, the thickness of the adhesive is subject to certain Tolerances strongly affect the effect of the antenna placed under the pane can influence.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine unter einer entsprechenden Fahrzeugscheibe zu montierende Antennenanordnung vorzuschlagen, wobei die bei Befestigung der entsprechenden Scheibe an der Karosserie des Fahrzeugs mit Hilfe eines Klebstoffs möglicherweise auftretenden Toleranzen bezüglich der Klebstoffdicke ausgeglichen werden können.The present invention is therefore based on the object, one under to propose the corresponding antenna arrangement to be mounted on the corresponding vehicle window, where the attachment of the corresponding pane to the body of the vehicle with the help of an adhesive possible tolerances regarding the Adhesive thickness can be compensated.

Die Antenne der erfindungsgemäßen Antennenanordnung wird nicht auf die Innenseite einer entsprechenden Fahrzeugscheibe geklebt, sondern an der Karosserie des Fahrzeugs befestigt. Zudem umfaßt die erfindungsgemäße Antennenanordnung elastische Mittel, beispielsweise insbesondere in Form mindestens eines Federelements, welche zusammen mit der Antenne derart montiert werden, daß die Antenne von den elastischen Mitteln im montierten Zustand zu der entsprechenden Fahrzeugscheibe hin vorgespannt wird. Auf diese Weise wird die Antenne stets gegen die entsprechende Fahrzeugscheibe gedrückt, so daß der Abstand zwischen der Antenne und der Fahrzeugscheibe immer konstant und somit die Wirkung der Antenne optimiert ist. Auf diese Weise können bei Befestigung der Fahrzeugscheibe durch Ankleben an der Karosserie auftretende Toleranzen bezüglich der Dicke des entsprechenden Klebstoffes ausgeglichen werden. The antenna of the antenna arrangement according to the invention is not on the inside a corresponding vehicle window, but glued to the body of the Vehicle attached. In addition, the antenna arrangement according to the invention comprises elastic means, for example in particular in the form of at least one spring element, which are mounted together with the antenna in such a way that the antenna elastic means in the assembled state towards the corresponding vehicle window is biased.

The disc 7 is with the help of adhesive Vehicle body 5 attached, the adhesive area X-Y in the illustrated embodiment immediately above the screw connection 4, i.e. immediately above the mounting position of the antenna arrangement.

Die Scheibe 7 ist zur optischen Sichttönung und zur wärmemäßigen Dämmung mit einer Metallisierung versehen. Im Randbereich X-Z der Scheibe 7 ist jedoch keine Metallisierung vorhanden, sondern bei diesem Randbereich X-Z handelt es sich um den sogenannten Schwarzdruck- oder Keramikdruckbereich, an dem die Scheibe 7 an die Karosserie 5 festgeklebt wird. Die Antennenanordnung ist unterhalb dieses Schwarzdruckbereichs X-Z angeordnet, so daß die Antenne 2 störungsfrei senden und empfangen kann.The pane 7 is for optical visual tinting and for thermal insulation with a Provide metallization. However, there is none in the edge region X-Z of the disk 7 Metallization available, but this edge area X-Z is the so-called black printing or ceramic printing area on which the disc 7 to the Body 5 is glued. The antenna arrangement is below this Black printing area X-Z arranged so that the antenna 2 send and interference can receive.

Wie in Fig. 1 gezeigt ist, wird die Antennenanordnung zwischen der Karosserie 5 und der Scheibe 7 einerseits und dem Himmel 6 des Fahrgastraums andererseits montiert und ist daher vom Fahrgastraum her nicht zu sehen.As shown in Fig. 1, the antenna arrangement between the body 5 and the Washer 7 on the one hand and the sky 6 of the passenger compartment on the other hand, and is therefore not visible from the passenger compartment.

Selbstverständlich können auch andere Befestigungsarten als Schraubverbindungen gewählt werden. Die Befestigung muß lediglich die erläuterte Vorspannung der Antenne 2 zu der Fahrzeugscheibe 7 hin gewährleisten können.Of course, other types of fastening than screw connections to get voted. The attachment only needs the pre-tensioning of the antenna 2 can guarantee towards the vehicle window 7.

In Fig. 2 ist zur Erläuterung des Montageablaufs die Antennenanordnung ohne Scheibe dargestellt. Die spätere Lage der Scheibe 7 ist lediglich gestrichelt angedeutet.In FIG. 2, the antenna arrangement is without a pane to explain the assembly process shown. The later position of the disc 7 is only indicated by dashed lines.

Zur Montage der in Fig. 1 gezeigten Anordnung wird zunächst das Antennengehäuse 1 mit dem Federelement 3 mit Hilfe der Schraubverbindung 4 an der vorgesehenen Befestigungsposition der Karosserie 5 befestigt. Aufgrund der Wirkung des Federelements 3 wird die Antenne 2 somit unter Vorspannung an der Fahrzeugkarosserie 5 befestigt und befindet sich dann in der in Fig. 2 gezeigten Position. Anschließend kann die Antenne 2 verkabelt werden. Nach der Verkabelung der Antenne 2 kann der Himmel 6 des Fahrgastraums montiert werden, so daß das Antennengehäuse 1 mit der Antenne 2 abgedeckt werden. Anschließend erfolgt die Montage der Scheibe 7, wobei beim Einsetzen der Scheibe 7 die Antenne 2 gegen die Federkraft des Federelements 3 in Position gedrückt wird. Nach dem Verkleben der Scheibe 7 ist somit gewährleistet, daß die Antenne 2 bzw. das Antennengehäuse 1 stets gegen die Scheibe 7 gedrückt und somit der Abstand zwischen der Antenne 2 und der Scheibe 7 immer konstant gehalten wird. To assemble the arrangement shown in FIG. 1, the antenna housing 1 is first with the spring element 3 using the screw connection 4 on the intended Attachment position of the body 5 attached. Due to the effect of Spring element 3, the antenna 2 is thus under tension on the Vehicle body 5 attached and is then in the position shown in FIG. 2. The antenna 2 can then be wired. After wiring the antenna 2, the sky 6 of the passenger compartment can be mounted, so that the antenna housing 1 covered with antenna 2.
