Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for producing an antenna and to an antenna, in particular a mobile radio antenna for vehicles, according to the features of the respective preamble of the independent claims.
  • Such antennas in particular mobile radio antennas for vehicles, are known. These have a metal base body, which is provided on the one hand with receiving means, in particular with an antenna coil or an antenna rod, and on the other hand has a contact area with which the antenna is inserted or screwed into a corresponding contact area in the vehicle.
  • the receiving means are elastic, so that on the one hand there is no risk of accident and on the other hand, the antenna can give in to the wind forces acting during operation.
  • the antenna is still surrounded by an electrically non-conductive sheath to protect the metal parts in the interior against corrosion and to achieve a more pleasing overall appearance.
  • the base body is used with the receiving means in a mold and then the mold is filled with the sheath forming mass.
  • This is, for example, a thermoplastic elastomer.
  • the base body and / or the receiving means are arranged centered in the mold; but arise after production of the sheath and removing the pins in the sheath holes through which moisture can penetrate into the interior of the antenna, which in turn leads to corrosion and thus malfunction of the antenna.
  • This mobile radio antenna has a base body without bore, which is provided with receiving means.
  • the main body and the receiving means are surrounded by a sheath.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of specifying both a method for producing an antenna and an antenna itself, wherein the disadvantages described above are avoided.
  • a method for producing an antenna with the features of claim 1 is provided.
  • this centering pin which is aligned exactly on the center and the longitudinal axis of the mold, it is also ensured that the basic body is arranged exactly in the center of the mold.
  • the centering pin and the base body are thus aligned with each other.
  • the centering pin inserted into the bore ensures that both the base and the receiving means are centered along the longitudinal axis of the die, so that these two components, after which they enter the Form are completely surrounded with the mass that forms the sheath.
  • the base body and the receiving means are then surrounded by the sheathing without disturbing openings remaining.
  • the base body and the receiving means may be two or more individual components, which are joined together in a corresponding manner.
  • the main body can be designed in several parts. It would also be conceivable to have a single (one-piece) component which offers the function of both, in which case also the base body is receiving means, i. that results in combination of basic body with the antenna coil, the spring or the like, the entire antenna.
  • the receiving means are aligned in the form.
  • the receiving means are designed as antenna helix (spring), which have a bore-like central region.
  • the diameter of the bore in the base body and the diameter in the receiving means almost coincide and correspond to the outer diameter of the centering pin. The tighter the tolerances, the better the centered alignment of the base body and receiving means in the mold.
  • FIG. 1 shows approximately in the middle in FIG. 1A a basic body 1 for an antenna, which consists of metal and can be turned, for example, from a semifinished product.
  • this main body 1 has a contact region 2, which is designed, for example, as a screw thread (alternatively also as a bayonet or the like) with which the finished antenna is screwed into a corresponding contact region in the vehicle.
  • the base body 1 On the side facing away from the contact region 2, the base body 1 has a receiving region 3, which receives receiving means such as an antenna coil.
  • an intermediate region 4 is present, which is formed for example as a polygon, to produce a certain protection against rotation between the body and the subsequent sheathing.
  • FIG. 1B the main body 1 is shown in section B-B corresponding to FIG. 1A.
  • the base body 1 has a bore 5 at least in the contact region 2, but also continuously.
  • a blind hole 6 is arranged for receiving the receiving means, which has a larger diameter than the bore. 5
  • the base body 1 is shown as viewed in the direction of the receiving area 3, wherein in particular the bore 5 and the polygon (in particular hexagon) of the intermediate area 4 can be seen.
  • FIGS. 2 A to 2 C the method for producing the antenna is shown from top to bottom. After the base body 1 has been produced and, for example, an antenna coil 7 has also been produced, this antenna coil 7 is fixed in the blind hole 6 of the base body 1. This can be done for example by a press fit or by soldering, welding, gluing or other compounds.
  • FIG. 2 B it is shown that the assembly of body 1 and antenna coil 7 (Figure 2 A) are inserted into a mold 8. This is done in such a way that the base body 1 is at least used with its contact area 2 in a closure piece 9, in particular screwed.
  • This closure member 9 has thus fixedly connected to a centering pin 10, wherein the closure member 9 is inserted and fixed with its centering pin 10 in the mold 8 such that the centering pin is aligned centrally and along the longitudinal axis of the mold 8.
  • the centering pin 10 extends both through the bore 5 of the base body and 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 at, in particular, if this is also not exactly aligned in the longitudinal direction.
  • the free area of the mold 8 is filled with a mass, in particular ejected.
  • This elastic mass may be, for example, a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE).
  • TPE thermoplastic elastomer
  • the antenna can be taken out of the mold 8, either by the closure piece 9 is pulled out of the mold 8 or the antenna is taken out of the closure piece 9, so that the finished antenna is accessible, in both cases
  • Form 8 consists of two halves, which are separated from each other.
  • FIG. 2C shows the finished antenna 11, in which it can be seen that the base body 1 (with the exception of its contact region 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 being the casing 12 (with the exception of the contact area 2) pierced.
  • the antenna coil 7 is aligned exactly to the longitudinal axis of the finished antenna 11. After attaching the finished antenna 11 to the vehicle, there are no more metallic areas that can come into contact with the environment.
