Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for connecting a window, in particular a window for a motor vehicle window, with electrical functions having the characteristics of claim 1.
  • a diversity glass antenna with connecting elements which is preferably used for vehicles.
  • the antenna elements respectively the antenna conductor structures, are deposited on the surface of a window by screen printing and are baked during the heating of the window before tempering thereof.
  • several antennas are provided on the same pane, in order to be able to use different directions of reception of the incident transmitters and to automatically select each time the transmitter having the optimum field strength.
  • the connecting faces of the individual antennas are locally grouped at a location located in the area of the edge of the window.
  • a multiple contact element in the form of a section of special flat cable, which has for each connection face a counter-contact in addition to the corresponding conductor.
  • the electrical signals from the antennas are transmitted by these conductors to the respective amplifiers arranged at a distance from the window.
  • Simple AM / FM antennas have been produced for several years on windshields, side windows or rear windows either by placing metal wires in laminated safety glass windshields or by means of conductive structures screen printed on glass. of Single pane safety for side or rear windows. Preferred embodiments also use the rear window heater range to make an antenna. For connection to the following assemblies (receivers), plug connectors or spring contacts are also frequently used.
  • the document US5867128 describes a multiple contact device for antennas arranged on a window.
  • the information systems currently used in vehicles are AM and FM radio transmitters, UHF video, GSM telephones as well as GPS navigation. So far, these have been linked with the individual arrays partly by separate stick, sphere or crescent antennas.
  • a position of the antenna systems on the rear window or the rear window is optimal for reasons of electromagnetic compatibility, while they should preferably be installed in the windscreen. breeze in vehicles with the rear mid-engine and also with variable bodies.
  • connection systems must comply with the stringent requirements of the automotive industry in terms of weather and temperature stability as well as resistance to vibrations. etc.
  • the antenna amplifier and impedance adapter should be positioned as close as possible to the individual antenna bases, to ensure as good reception as possible with a large margin of protection.
  • said antenna bases must be arranged at relatively large distances from each other on the face of the glass, because, especially in diversity systems, there is a strong dependence between the field strength detectable on a glass antenna and the direction of radiation of the transmitter concerned.
  • a glass antenna system is also known ( DE-A1 39 11 178 ), in which electrical components are laid directly on, in or near a vehicle window and all of the antenna signals and supply voltages are provided by a single wire harness composed of high conductors frequency and power lines. It is necessary to imagine a glass antenna, which can be installed as a complete unit in the body of the vehicle and which is electrically connected to the body, respectively to the network linked to the body, only by a single multiple connection in the form of a wire harness.
  • the antenna amplifiers (Aquadripoles @) of this system are however fixed directly on the glass and soldered with the input and output lines produced on it by screen printing.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a device for connection, which allows in a simplified manner the connection of electrical functions arranged on a window with several connection faces arranged in a decentralized manner, in particular antenna elements, with the following assemblies.
  • connection faces of the electrical functional elements are distributed along the edge of the window, in particular in its corner areas.
  • the contact element receives a surface shape adapted to the outline of the edge of the pane, so that it can easily follow the path of radii of curvature of the fixed pane.
  • Its counter-contacts can each time be applied, in the assembly position, to the position of the connection faces linked to the window.
  • circuit elements mounted electrically after the latter such as for example electronic modules, in particular amplifiers.
  • the matrix of the contact element thus serves not only as a sheath or insulation for the conductive tracks or lines conducted through it, but also as a support for the circuit elements.
  • matrix we do not necessarily mean a bead of homogeneous material, but it can also be constructed in several layers from several sheets.
  • the dimensions of the contact element on the face of the pane and in particular on the area of the edge thereof are limited, because the free vision through the window. glass must not be damaged.
  • the total length of the contact element is dimensioned as required.
  • Their outer dimensions are essentially predetermined by the number, arrangement and reciprocal distances of the connection or contact faces for functional elements in the area of the edge of the glass.
  • Corner pieces in the layout of the contact element can be formed one piece evenly in the matrix thereof and in the conductor passing there, or be made by separate corner connectors , which subdivide the contact element into several sections. Such corner connectors can be combined with the necessary connection points between the conductors of the contact element and the functional elements on the glass.
  • the application and connection zones provided in the matrix of the contact element for the circuit elements are reinforced, in order to allow, if necessary, manufacture by robots.
  • Such reinforcements can be produced by local extra thicknesses of material, by locally limited rigid inserts in the otherwise flexible matrix or by the upper or lower installation of additional rigid parts.
  • a layer of adhesive is preferably used. This may be a single layer, which has been deposited on one side only on the underside of the contact element, which must be applied to the pane, respectively to the strip of the edge thereof.
  • the adhesive layer may be a double-sided adhesive tape, one side of which is glued to the underside of the element. contact and the other side of which is glued to the edge strip.
  • the glue one can use an isoprene or acrylate glue.
  • the individual counter-contacts intended for the respective connection face on the glass are preferably provided beforehand with solder or with conductive adhesive, in order to simplify the making of the respective connections. If these are to be made by brazing, then the carrier material for the contact element, respectively the conductive foil itself, will consist of a heat resistant material, for example polyimide plastic. If the electrical contacts to the glass can be made by gluing, then there is less limitation in the choice of materials for the backing sheet with respect to temperature sensitivity.
  • Appropriate positioning accessories can also be provided on the contact element, which clearly define beforehand in particular its orientation and its positioning on the edge of the window as well as its distance from this edge and which therefore help and facilitate the mounting.
  • These can for example be stops to be placed on the front edge of the window. They can first be firmly assembled, if necessary in one piece, to the matrix of the contact element. When the front edges of the pane must be free all around in the mounted state, these mounting accessories can be assembled with the contact element, respectively with the matrix thereof, for example by means of ribs provided with zones of least resistance. These can be quickly and easily detached after the final placement of the contact element on the glass, in order to remove the stops which are no longer required.
  • the respective electrical contacts can also be made by means of mechanical junction assemblies, for example of the push-button type, which are also already known for this type of use. They can also be used on the one hand also as positioning accessories in the sense already mentioned and on the other hand do not exclude an additional combined assembly by brazing or gluing.
  • the equipped flexible contact element is glued to a zone of the edge of the pane covered by an opaque screen printing in the form of a frame.
  • Such decorative frames are customary in all window panes provided for direct bonding in bodywork, to prevent the sight of the adhesive as well as its degradation by UV radiation.
  • this opaque edge is covered by interior trim towards the interior of the vehicle, over a width such that the contact element is also not visible from the interior.
  • a preferred form of implementation relates to a rear window, which has in the upper region a screen-printed strip more than 20 mm wide, which is suitable for receiving the pre-fitted flexible conductive sheet.

From the edge of the window, this structure maintains a distance of> 6 mm, which is predetermined by the deposit of the bead of adhesive for bonding the window to the bodywork, including a possibly pre-assembled frame.
  • the printed circuit board can also, in special embodiments, constitute itself a support for other antenna structures.
  • Antenna structures on the face of the glass could thus be greatly reduced or even disappear. completely, depending on the vehicle equipment.
  • the conductive path structure could for example be made on two planes of the flexible printed circuit board, so that the antenna structures are provided and provided with through contacts on one plane and the connecting conductors are provided on at least another plan, including the assembly of the circuit elements, respectively of the modules.
  • Another form of implementation may additionally include electronic sensors on the printed circuit board, such as for example a dew detector in the form of a printed sinuous structure or a rupture detector, for example in the form of a printed circuit board.
  • a conductive loop which can be supplied with a standby current which is interrupted in the event of a break.
  • the current busbars for the field of heating conductors for the rear glasses made of single-pane safety glass could again be connected directly to the signal processing.
  • the contact element will have output lines for the connection to the assemblies and to the functional elements provided on the bodywork, in particular a diversity operating circuit. These lines are preferably joined together at one interface, so that a multiple connector can be used for the subsequent link. If necessary, for example to avoid the reciprocal influence of different signal or current flows, it is however also possible to provide several interfaces of this type. In particular, it is also possible to use an electro-optical or optical coupling instead of a purely electrical coupling, the interface then having to be equipped with corresponding light waveguides and the contact element possibly having to be equipped with electro converters. -optics.
  • the contact element thus formed can now be considered as a flexible printed circuit board or sheet in the manner of a pre-assembled cable comb for the window, which can integrate to a large extent, corresponding to the respective configuration of the electrical and / or electronic circuit elements, functions like amplification, operation, tuning, signal conversion, voltage distribution, etc., as well as all internal conductor connections for signals d antenna and control as well as the supply voltages if necessary.
