Definitions
- the invention relates to a vehicle antenna, preferably intended for mobile radio, according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Such antennas are known in several versions.
- DE 41 16 232 AI describes an antenna integrated in a non-conductive vehicle bumper, which is not visible as a result, but is very dangerous in the event of a crash.
- the required minimum distance of the spotlights from the metallic body serving as a reflector is increasingly rare in modern vehicles because the bumpers are no longer on display for design and safety reasons, but are arranged close to the body.
- the mutual distance is sometimes less than 20 mm, which results in a too strong capacitive coupling in the frequency ranges provided for mobile radio, which practically causes a short circuit of the antenna.
- the known bumper antennas can therefore not be used in such vehicles, so that their area of application is severely restricted.
- an additional splash-proof opening is required to introduce the connecting line into the interior of the body, thereby increasing the manufacturing and assembly effort.
- the known disk antennas in which the radiators are integrated in vehicle windows, have the aforementioned Disadvantages not, but they are arranged in an undesirable manner on the vehicle.
- the invention is therefore based on the object of creating a vehicle antenna of the type mentioned which has the least possible risk of crash damage in a simple and inexpensive manner, its effectiveness is independent of the distance of the radiator from the body and no special bodywork needed for a connecting cable.
- the arrangement of the radiator in a body opening, in which the conductive body therefore does not serve as a reflector, also makes the antenna completely independent of the distance of the attachment from the radiator.
- the antenna is therefore also suitable for use in modern vehicles, where this distance is increasingly reduced.
- the counterweight means that there is no need for a connection to an additional reference potential, such as that of a metallic body, which further reduces the outlay in production and assembly.
- the design as a coordinated counterweight and the dimensioning of the body opening according to the invention causes a lock for jacket shafts on the feed line.
- an embodiment of the vehicle antenna according to the invention is suitable as a slot antenna because the length of the body opening must be greater than ⁇ / 2, but its height (slot width) is small is.
- An embodiment of the vehicle antenna according to claim 6 is particularly effective, regardless of whether it is designed as a monopole or as a slot antenna. Because the reflector only emits radiation to the outside, i.e. in the desired direction, and with increased power. The distance of the reflector from the radiator can be exactly the optimum in terms of high-frequency technology and, unlike the bumper antenna, is not to be shortened as a compromise that deteriorates the radiation properties.
- an embodiment of the reflector according to claim 7 is the optimal solution that meets both requirements and is also constructed in a material and weight-saving manner.
- the diagram can advantageously be adapted to the requirements of the individual case within certain limits.
- the directivity can be increased in certain angular ranges.
- a dual-band antenna is created with minimal effort, which can be designed for example for the D and E network.
- locking elements are simple and expediently constructed as LC elements (claim 11). However, they can also be designed as line resonant circuits.
- the LC blocking elements are simple and can be inserted into the conductor tracks in accordance with both the mechanical and electrical requirements, advantageously in accordance with claim 13 in SMD technology.
- the dielectric of the circuit board also has an electrical shortening effect, so that the radiators and counterweights can be made smaller.
- the body openings will not be sealed or covered by attachments.
- the entire printed circuit board is coated with insulating material in a splash-proof manner.
- the potting compound also allows the encased component to have a defined elasticity or to maintain its elasticity, which is particularly advantageous when such components are attached to strongly vibrating or vibrating elements such as vehicle parts.
- thermoplastic hot-melt adhesive as a potting material according to claim 15 is of particular advantage because, because of its short solidification time and the possibility of carrying out the injection molding process in the low-pressure range, it allows time-saving and inexpensive production.
- thermoplastic hot melt adhesive is used for cable sheaths made of thermoplastic, e.g. PVC or PE, with them at least on the surface a chemical compound that is absolutely tight and ensures high strain relief.
- the printed circuit board is attached to a non-conductive support part already present for other purposes (claim 16).
- This not only ensures a stable arrangement, but this spotlight component can be retrofitted to the vehicle at any time. It can of course also be integrated as initial equipment on or in a plastic carrier part.
- a particularly suitable installation location for the antenna according to the invention is provided in most cars for pressure equalization when the vehicle doors are closed quickly on both sides of the trunk, which are covered by plastic bumpers and are not easily visible behind them (claim 17).
- louvre-type ventilation flaps are usually attached, which are provided with lugs that can be moved outwards, which open outwards under pressure from the vehicle interior and otherwise rest against the ventilation flaps to prevent the ingress of water. It is particularly advantageous to fasten the components having the monopoly and, if necessary, the counterweights to the ventilation flaps, the movement of the tabs not being obstructed, of course.
- a particularly simple and sufficiently stable attachment is listed in claim 19.
- the holding pins are inexpensively manufactured in accordance with claims 20 and 21 in one piece with the ventilation flaps, for example using the injection molding process.
- the antenna part having the radiator is then only to be snapped onto the associated ventilation flap for assembly.
- the height of the cover is not large enough to cover the radiator designed as a monopoly, its height can be shortened in a manner known per se according to claim 22 by a roof capacity and adapted to the circumstances.
- the invention is based on one arranged on ventilation flaps
- Mobile phone antenna designed embodiment explained in the figures. 1 shows a perspective view of the radiator part of the vehicle antenna
- Fig. 3 - a view of a holding pin
- FIG. 4 shows a perspective view of a vehicle rear section with the ventilation flap antenna visible in a broken-open part of the bumper.
- the vehicle antenna consists of two separate radiator parts 1, each with a grid-shaped reflector, not shown, arranged toward the vehicle interior.
- Each radiator part 1 consists of a monopole 2 and two adapted counterparts connected to its base point A, which project in opposite directions orthogonally.
- Monopoly 2 and counterweights 3 are arranged as printed conductor tracks on a one-sided laminated T-shaped printed circuit board 5, into which the LC blocking elements designed as SMD components are connected in series.
- the total length of the monopole 2 and the counterweights 3 is matched to the D network frequency range.
- the LC-locking members 4 are designed for the E-power frequency range and is arranged so that its distance from the base point A of the monopoly a 2 l corresponds to the average operating wavelength ⁇ in this frequency range, approximately. This creates a broadband dual-band antenna that works in both the D and E network frequency ranges.
- Each radiator part 1 is attached to the outward-facing side of a ventilation flap 6 produced by the plastic injection molding process.
- the fan flaps 6 each have a frame 10 and four inclined grating surfaces 11, each of which is associated with a tab 12 which is attached to the frame 10 by the upper longitudinal edge and is movable around this edge, only one of which is shown in FIG.
- the fan flaps 6 are fastened on both sides of the trunk of the vehicle 13 in body openings 14 which are concealed by the lateral extensions of the rear bumper 15. If there is overpressure inside the vehicle, which occurs, for example, when a vehicle door is closed quickly, it is reduced by air escaping from the fan flaps.
- the flaps 12 are first pivoted outwards by the excess pressure; after the pressure equalization, they are then again close to the grid surfaces 11 and thus protect the trunk from the ingress of splash water.
- the two radiator parts 1 (probes) are interconnected (in the manner known from DE 41 16 232 AI) via feed lines and a line coupler and fed via a connecting cable to a transceiver for the mobile radio areas of the D and E network.
