Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for producing an antenna and an antenna, in particular a cellular antenna for vehicles, according to the features of respective preamble of the independent claims.
  • Such antennas in particular mobile radio antennas for vehicles, are known. These have a metal base body which, on the one hand, has receiving means, is in particular provided with an antenna coil or an antenna rod and on the other hand has a contact area with which the antenna moves into a corresponding one Contact area is inserted or screwed into the vehicle.
  • the receiving means are designed to be elastic, so that on the one hand there is no risk of an accident exists and on the other hand the antenna give in to the wind forces acting during operation can.
  • the antenna is still with an electrically non-conductive jacket surrounded to protect the metal parts inside from corrosion and achieve an overall more pleasing appearance.
  • the base body with the Receiving means is used in a form and then the form with the Sheathing forming mass is filled.
  • This is for example a thermoplastic elastomer.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object, both a method for production specify an antenna as well as an antenna itself, the input disadvantages described can be avoided.
  • the method for producing an antenna provides that the base body of the antenna with an arbitrarily shaped hole, for example is provided with a bore, wherein at least the base body via a a form fixable and insertable into the hole centering pin in the mold centered.
  • this centering pin which is exactly in the middle and the Longitudinal axis of the shape is aligned, it also ensures that the main body is placed exactly in the middle of the mold. The centering pin and the base body are thus aligned with each other.
  • Base body and receiving means can be two or more individual components that be put together in a corresponding manner.
  • the basic body can also be formed in several parts.
  • a single (one-piece) component would also be conceivable, that offers the function of both, the main body also receiving means is, i.e. that in combination of the base body with the antenna coil, the spring or the like results in the entire antenna.
  • the centering pin Receivers are centered in the form.
  • the first variant is it is necessary that if only the base body itself is centered in the form is aligned, the receiving means are already aligned with the base body and are attached to it. This may require a precise Manufacture of base body and receiving means, especially in their common Fastening area, so that this precise manufacture can be omitted if with the centering pin, the receiving means can also be centered in the mold. This can be accomplished particularly easily if the receiving means are designed as an antenna coil (spring) which has a bore-like Have middle range. It is particularly advantageous if the diameter the bore in the base body and the diameter in the receiving means almost match and correspond to the outer diameter of the centering pin. The closer the tolerances are, the better the centered alignment of base body and receiving means in the form.
  • FIG. 1 shows a base body 1 for an antenna approximately in the middle in FIG. 1A, which is made of metal and rotated from a semi-finished product, for example can.
  • this base body 1 has a contact area 2, for example designed as a screw thread (alternatively as a bayonet or the like) with which the finished antenna is in a corresponding contact area is screwed into the vehicle.
  • the base body 1 On the side facing away from the contact area 2 the base body 1 has a receiving area 3, the receiving means as a Antenna coil.
  • FIG. 1B (lower area) the base body 1 is in section B-B corresponding to FIG 1 A is shown. It can be seen here that the base body 1 at least in the contact area 2, but also continuously, has a bore 5. In the recording area 3, a blind hole 6 is arranged for receiving the receiving means, for example, which has a larger diameter than the bore 5.
  • Figure 1 C is the base body 1 when viewed in the direction of the recording area 3, wherein in particular the bore 5 and the polygon (in particular Hexagon) of the intermediate area 4 is recognizable.
  • the method for production is from top to bottom shown the antenna.
  • this antenna coil 7 in the blind hole 6 of the base body 1 is fixed. This can be done, for example, by a Press fit or also by soldering, welding, gluing or others Connections are made.
  • FIG. 2B shows that the structural unit made up of base body 1 and antenna coil 7 (Figure 2A) are inserted into a mold 8. This is done in such a way that the Base body 1 inserted at least with its contact area 2 into a closure piece 9, is screwed in particular.
  • This closure piece 9 thus firmly connected a centering pin 10, the locking piece 9 with its centering pin 10 is inserted and fixed in the mold 8 such that the centering pin is aligned centrally and along the longitudinal axis of the mold 8.
  • This exact Alignment of the centering pin 10 in the form 8 ensures that the Base body 1 is set exactly in the center and centered in the shape 8.
  • the centering pin 10 When executing, which is shown in Figure 2 B, the centering pin 10 extends through both the bore 5 of the base body as well as at least partially, but essentially over the entire length of the antenna coil 7. This contributes to an improved Centering of the antenna coil 7, especially when this is also not exactly aligned in the longitudinal direction.
  • a mass in particular injected.
  • This elastic mass can be, for example, a thermoplastic Act elastomer (TPE).
  • TPE thermoplastic Act elastomer
  • the antenna can be removed from the mold 8, either by the fact that the closure piece 9 is pulled out of the mold 8 or the antenna from the closure piece 9 is removed so that the finished antenna is accessible, being in both If the form 8 consists of two halves that are separated from each other.
  • FIG. 2C finally shows the finished antenna 11, in which it can be seen that the Base body 1 (with the exception of its contact area 2) including the antenna coil 7 is completely surrounded by the casing 12 without parts of the base body 1 or the antenna coil 7, the sheath 12 (with the exception of the contact area 2).
  • the antenna coil 7 is exactly closed aligned with the longitudinal axis of the finished antenna 11. After attaching the finished one Antenna 11 on the vehicle no longer has any metallic areas associated with it the environment.
