Definitions
- the present invention relates to a mounting assembly with which a motor vehicle antenna can be attached to the body of a motor vehicle.
- an antenna base is applied to the outside of the body, wherein the antenna base extends with a screw through a body opening into the interior of the body onto which a nut is screwed for attachment and tension with the body, as for example in the EP 1 120 853 B1 is described.
- the screwed variant proves to be disadvantageous in that additional tool, such as a wrench is required to screw the nut on the screw socket.
- additional tool such as a wrench
- the assembly in the screwed variant designed as difficult since the antenna socket must first be arranged on the outside loose on the body before an assembly person from the inside can screw the said nut so that there is a risk that the antenna socket moves in the meantime, which is why often two assemblers for mounting such screwed Antenna socket is required, one of which holds the antenna base and the other makes the sterbefest Trent.
- the antenna cables protrude directly vertically into the interior of the body, which is why they must be bent over for laying, which can cause cable breaks.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a mounting assembly for mounting a motor vehicle antenna to the body of a motor vehicle, which overcomes at least some of the problems indicated.
- the object is achieved with a mounting assembly, which has the features of claim 1.
- the object is achieved in that the protruding from the foot plate mounting portion has a support portion which is spaced from the foot plate by a clearance, and in that the locking body has a locking portion which is wedged in said distance between the base plate and body in that the foot plate is braced against the bodywork.
- the latch portion may, for example a ramp or wedge portion include, which is inserted with its tapered side ahead in said distance and thus is supported at deeper penetration into the clear distance to one on the support portion and the other on the inside of the body, whereby the attachment portion on the Support section is pulled deeper into the interior of the body, so that the base plate of the mounting assembly is clamped to the body.
- the mounting assembly has a to be arranged in the interior of the body adapter plate on which the bolt body is movably mounted.
- the assembly assembly according to the invention can also be easily removed by removing the locking portion, so that it is not necessary to destroy parts of the assembly assembly for maintenance purposes.
- the mounting assembly comprises an adapter plate to be arranged in the interior of the body, which may have at least one first electrical connection, which can be connected to at least one of the foot plate into the interior of the body projecting electrical mating terminal.
- the locking body of the mounting assembly may be movably mounted on the adapter plate such that it can be wedged repeatedly in the distance, guided on an identical trajectory.
- the relative position of the latch section located on the latch body with respect to the attachment section or its support section is accurate by the coupling of the first electrical connection with the associated mating connection set so that no errors during assembly with regard to the placement of the at least one latch portion with respect to the associated attachment portion may occur.
- This can prove to be advantageous in particular when bolt bodies with mutually differently shaped bolt sections are used, since thus unintentional swapping of the different bolt sections can be avoided.
- the reproducibility of the assembly can be further improved in particular by the movable mounting of the locking body on the adapter plate, as a result of incorrect assembly, such as a tilting the ramp-shaped Riegelababitess, can be excluded.
- the adapter plate may have at least a second electrical connection, which branches off in the plane of the adapter plate of the same.
- Each of these (second) terminals may, for example, be connected via a conductor plate to an associated first electrical terminal of the adapter plate, which is coupleable to a mating terminal on the foot plate, so that there is a rigid connection between the first and second electrical terminals, which in contrast to the bent cable in the screwed variant is not subject to movements, which otherwise could lead to cable break over time.
- the locking body can be pivotally mounted on the adapter plate via a hinge.
- a lever effect can be achieved via this joint, by means of which the locking portion can be wedged with little effort in the clear distance between the support portion and the body.
- the latch portion due to the pivotal movement of the latch body without occurrence of any clamps in the clearance and can be wedged therein, the latch portion of the latch body can form a pivot wedge with a receptacle for the support portion of the mounting portion.
- the locking portion may have a concave and convexly curved wedge shape, which here is a partially tapered shape which is curved in such a way that one of the two opposite wedge surfaces a concave curvature as a receptacle for the support portion, whereas the other wedge surface has a convex curvature as a sliding surface.
- the pivoting of the locking portion in the clearance between the support portion and the body can be achieved in particular in that the locking portion is arranged on the pivot axis of the joint, so that the locking portion is pivoted during the pivotal movement of the locking body about its own axis.
- the locking body can have an actuating lever, by the actuation of which the locking element experiences a torque. So it is not necessary to apply the locking body or its locking portion directly with a correspondingly large torque; Rather, this torque can be achieved by only a small force is applied to the operating lever, so that multiplied by the lever arm or its length can be achieved a correspondingly enhanced moment.
- the base plate may have at least one spring element.
- at least one spring element protruding into the interior of the body can protrude from the foot plate, which has a shape such that it can be detachably latched in an opening in the body.
- the foot plate can be releasably fixed in abutment with the outside of the body, so that no second assembler is required to prevent slippage of the foot plate during assembly.
- the spring element may be, for example, a barb-like catch, which initially deforms slightly when inserted into the opening of the body, in order to releasably lock it to the contour of the body opening. In this way, a simple disassembly can be ensured in the maintenance case, without additional tools is required.
- the base plate may have a protruding tubular connecting piece, in the interior of which the mating connections of the base plate are located, so that damaging effects can be largely avoided.
- the connecting piece can also serve as a guide which cooperates with a corresponding counterpart on the adapter plate in order to be able to combine these according to a plug connection.
- the previously mentioned spring element may be provided on the connection piece. Apart from that, however, it is also possible to form the spring element on the projecting into the interior of the body mounting portions. By such an integral design of the spring elements on the one hand weight and on the other hand costs can be saved due to the lower material cost.
- the adapter plate may comprise at least one sliding portion arranged such that when the base plate is braced, the locking portion slides with its convex sliding surface therealong.
- the sliding portion may for example be made of a material or at least coated with it, which has a very low coefficient of friction, as is the case for example with Teflon Ā® (PTFE).
- the mounting assembly may further comprise a housing cap for housing the electronic components of the antenna which is detachable with the foot plate connected is. The entire unit of foot plate and the associated housing cap can thereby attach as a whole during assembly of the mounting assembly to the body, whereby the assembly can be accelerated.
- the housing cap For receiving the base plate, the housing cap may have such an adapted to the shape of the foot plate opening for receiving the base plate that is closed by the base plate, the interior of the housing cap to the outside.
- the housing cap may be provided with a rubber coating, which forms a projecting over the opening of the housing cap sealing lip.
- This sealing lip comes in the assembly of the base plate or the unit of base plate and housing cap into contact with the outside of the body and thus seals the interior of the housing cap from the outside atmosphere, so that moisture can not penetrate into the interior of the housing cap.
- the mounting assembly 10 has a base plate 24 which externally comes into contact with the body 26. Furthermore, the mounting assembly 10 has a latch body 30, which is located inside the body 26 and serves to clamp the base plate 24 to the body 26. Also in the interior of the body 26, an adapter plate 28 is arranged, on which the locking body 30 is pivotally mounted via a hinge, such as a hinge connection (see in particular 4 and 5 ).
- the mounting assembly 10 includes a housing cap 12, in the interior of which come to be accommodated by the base plate 24 electronic components 16 to 22.
- These electronic components 16 to 22 may be, for example, a mobile radio antenna 16, a GPS electronic component 18, a printed circuit board 20, and electronic SMD components soldered directly to the printed circuit board 20 act.
- the housing cap 12 has an opening 13 on the underside, in order to be able to receive the foot plate 24 therein. Between the foot plate 24 and the opening 13 of the housing cap 12, an inner seal 14 is arranged to prevent any ingress of moisture into the interior of the housing cap 12.
- the actual housing cap 12 is provided with a rubber coating 34 which forms a projecting over the opening 13 of the housing cap 12 and circumferential sealing lip 35. With this sealing lip 35, the housing cap 12 rests with the base plate 24 received by it on the body 26, so that a second sealing barrier is created by the sealing lip 35 in addition to the inner seal 14.
- the unit of housing cap 12 and base plate 24 together with the electronic components 16 to 22 received therefrom can be assembled in an upstream assembly step, as the Fig. 2 explained.
- the electronic components 16 to 22 are mounted on the base plate 24, so that it can then be inserted together with the inner seal 14 into the opening 13 of the housing cap 12 in order subsequently to be screwed thereto.
- This condition is in the right representation of Fig. 2 shown.
- FIG. 2 how best the right representation of Fig. 2 as well as the Fig. 1 can be removed, stand from the bottom of the base plate 24 from two mounting portions 36, of which in the Fig. 1 and 2 however, due to the perspective representation, only one can be recognized.
- the support portions 37 serve to cooperate with the already mentioned latch portions, so that the base plate 24 is clamped against the body 26.
- the attachment portions 36 protrude through an opening 32 in the body 26 into the interior thereof, to be acted upon there by the locking body 30 with a tensile force into the interior of the body 26.
- connection piece 38 receives in the figures not shown in more detail electrical connection pins, which serve to connect the electronic components 16 to 22 with a receiver inside the body 26.
- the latch body 30 has a substantially E-shaped configuration with two outer arms 40 and an inner arm 42.
- the inner arm 42 is provided at its free distal end with two hinge or pivot pin 44, by means of which the locking body 30 can be pivotally connected to the adapter plate 28.
- the pivot pins 44 thus define a pivot axis about which the latch body 30 can be pivoted with respect to the adapter plate 28, as best shown in the illustrations of Fig. 8 to 10 can be removed.
- the locking body 30 is provided with pivoting wedges in the form of concave and convexly curved locking portions 54 extending in extension of the pivot pins 44 are located on the pivot axis defined by these.
- this has corresponding hinge openings 46 (FIG. Fig. 4 ), in which the pivot pins 44 engage, as the Fig. 5 and in particular the detail A of Fig. 5 shows.
- the adapter plate 28 has three electrical connection sockets 48 (FIG. Fig. 6 ) to make electrical connection with the previously mentioned terminal pins (not shown) which project from the foot plate 24 into the interior of the body 26.
- connection sockets 48 three strip-shaped conductor plates 50 extend in the plane of the adapter plate 28 to the edge region to the outside, where they branch off in the form of three terminals 58 in the plane of the adapter plate 28 thereof. In this way, the connection cable between a receiver and the antenna can be laid without having to be bent over.
- the adapter plate 28 In extension of the pivot pin 44 ( Fig. 5 ), where the locking portions 54 are located, the adapter plate 28 has corresponding recesses 52, which, however, are bridged on the upper side of the adapter plate 28 by sliding portions 56, on which the locking portions 54 with their convex outer contour during pivoting of the locking body 30 can slide along ,
- the connecting piece 38 circumferentially more projecting into the interior of the body spring elements 60, which engage due to the insertion of the connecting piece 38 in the opening 32 of the body 26 at the contour of the opening 32 so that an undesirable change in position of the unit of housing cap 12 and base plate 24 can be excluded during assembly.
- the relative position of the adapter plate 28 is initially secured with respect to the base plate 24, as the Fig. 9 shows.
- a latching element 62 may be provided on the adapter plate 28 and / or on the latch body 30 itself ( Fig. 6 ), via which the latch body 30 can be brought in the pivoted by 90 Ā° position with the adapter plate 28 into engagement.
- the entire assembly of the mounting assembly 10 may be performed on the body 26 without additional tools.

Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Montagebaugruppe, mit welcher sich eine Kraftfahrzeugantenne an der Karosserie eines Kraftfahrzeugs befestigen lƤsst.The present invention relates to a mounting assembly with which a motor vehicle antenna can be attached to the body of a motor vehicle.
Es sind unterschiedliche Befestigungsmƶglichkeiten zur externen Anbringung einer Kraftfahrzeugantenne an der Karosserie eines Kraftfahrzeugs bekannt. Beispielsweise besteht die Mƶglichkeit, die Antenne an der Karosserie festzuschrauben. Die Antenne kann auch an der Karosserie angeklebt werden.There are different attachment options for external attachment of a motor vehicle antenna to the body of a motor vehicle known. For example, it is possible to screw the antenna to the body. The antenna can also be glued to the body.
Bei der geschraubten Variante wird ein Antennensockel auĆenseitig auf der Karosserie aufgebracht, wobei sich der Antennensockel mit einem Schraubstutzen durch eine Karosserieƶffnung ins Innere der Karosserie erstreckt, auf den zur Befestigung und Verspannung mit der Karosserie eine Mutter aufgeschraubt wird, wie dies beispielsweise in der
Die geschraubte Variante erweist sich jedoch dahingehend als nachteilhaft, dass zusƤtzliches Werkzeug, beispielsweise ein SchraubenschlĆ¼ssel, benƶtigt wird, um die Schraubmutter auf den Schraubstutzen aufzuschrauben. Ferner gestaltet sich die Montage bei der geschraubten Variante als schwierig, da der Antennenstutzen zunƤchst auĆenseitig auf der Karosserie lose angeordnet werden muss, bevor eine Montageperson von innen die genannte Schraubmutter gegenschrauben kann, so dass die Gefahr besteht, dass sich der Antennensockel zwischenzeitlich verschiebt, weshalb hƤufig zwei Montagepersonen zur Montage derartiger geschraubter Antennensockel erforderlich werden, von denen eine den Antennensockel hƤlt und die andere die Schraubbefestigung vornimmt. DarĆ¼ber hinaus ragen bei der geschraubten Variante die Antennenkabel direkt senkrecht in den Innenraum der Karosserie hinein, weshalb sie zur Verlegung umgebogen werden mĆ¼ssen, wodurch KabelbrĆ¼che entstehen kƶnnen.However, the screwed variant proves to be disadvantageous in that additional tool, such as a wrench is required to screw the nut on the screw socket. Furthermore, the assembly in the screwed variant designed as difficult, since the antenna socket must first be arranged on the outside loose on the body before an assembly person from the inside can screw the said nut so that there is a risk that the antenna socket moves in the meantime, which is why often two assemblers for mounting such screwed Antenna socket is required, one of which holds the antenna base and the other makes the Schraubbefestigung. In addition, in the screwed variant, the antenna cables protrude directly vertically into the interior of the body, which is why they must be bent over for laying, which can cause cable breaks.
Bei der geklebten Variante wird der Antennensockel dagegen lediglich auf der Karosserie festgeklebt, weshalb spezielle Klebstoffe zum Einsatz kommen mĆ¼ssen, um eine dauerhafte WiderstandsfƤhigkeit der Klebverbindung gewƤhrleisten zu kƶnnen, wodurch in unerwĆ¼nschter Weise verhƤltnismƤĆig hohe Kosten verursacht werden. DarĆ¼ber hinaus ergeben sich bei der geklebten Variante Probleme hinsichtlich der Wartung der Antennenkomponenten, welche nur noch durch Zerstƶrung der Klebeverbindung zugƤnglich sind.In the glued variant of the antenna base, however, is merely glued to the body, so special adhesives must be used to ensure a durable resistance of the adhesive can, thereby causing undesirably relatively high costs. In addition, arise in the glued variant problems with respect to the maintenance of the antenna components, which are accessible only by destruction of the adhesive bond.
Aus der
Ausgehend von den voran beschriebenen Problemen, welche den bekannten Befestigungsvarianten anhaften, besteht die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung darin, eine Montagebaugruppe zur Befestigung einer Kraftfahrzeugantenne an der Karosserie eines Kraftfahrzeugs anzugeben, welche zumindest einige der aufgezeigten Probleme Ć¼berwindet.Based on the above-described problems, which adhere to the known attachment variants, the object of the present invention is to provide a mounting assembly for mounting a motor vehicle antenna to the body of a motor vehicle, which overcomes at least some of the problems indicated.
Diese Aufgabe wird mit einer Montagebaugruppe gelƶst, welche die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 aufweist. Insbesondere erfolgt die Lƶsung der Aufgabe dadurch, dass der von der FuĆplatte abstehende Befestigungsabschnitt einen StĆ¼tzabschnitt aufweist, welcher von der FuĆplatte durch einen lichten Abstand beabstandet ist, und dass der Riegelkƶrper einen Riegelabschnitt aufweist, welcher in dem genannten Abstand zwischen FuĆplatte und Karosserie derart verkeilt wird, dass die FuĆplatte gegen die Karosserie dabei verspannt wird. Der Riegelabschnitt kann beispielsweise einen Rampen- oder Keilabschnitt umfassen , welcher mit seiner sich verjĆ¼ngenden Seite voraus in den genannten Abstand eingeschoben wird und sich somit bei tieferem Eindringen in den lichten Abstand zum einen an dem StĆ¼tzabschnitt und zum anderen an der Innenseite der Karosserie abstĆ¼tzt, wodurch der Befestigungsabschnitt Ć¼ber den StĆ¼tzabschnitt tiefer ins Innere der Karosserie gezogen wird, so dass die FuĆplatte der Montagebaugruppe mit der Karosserie verspannt wird.This object is achieved with a mounting assembly, which has the features of claim 1. In particular, the object is achieved in that the protruding from the foot plate mounting portion has a support portion which is spaced from the foot plate by a clearance, and in that the locking body has a locking portion which is wedged in said distance between the base plate and body in that the foot plate is braced against the bodywork. The latch portion may, for example a ramp or wedge portion include, which is inserted with its tapered side ahead in said distance and thus is supported at deeper penetration into the clear distance to one on the support portion and the other on the inside of the body, whereby the attachment portion on the Support section is pulled deeper into the interior of the body, so that the base plate of the mounting assembly is clamped to the body.
Die Montagebaugruppe weist eine im Innern der Karosserie anzuordnende Adapterplatte auf, an der der Riegelkƶrper beweglich gelagert ist.The mounting assembly has a to be arranged in the interior of the body adapter plate on which the bolt body is movably mounted.
Durch die Keilwirkung des Riegelabschnitts werden bei der Montage der Montagebaugruppe keine zusƤtzlichen Werkzeuge erforderlich, da der Riegelabschnitt von Hand in den lichten Abstand zwischen FuĆplatte und Karosserie eingefĆ¼hrt werden kann. Je geringer dabei die Neigung des Rampenabschnitts ist, desto weniger Kraft wird benƶtigt, um den Rampenabschnitt in dem genannten Abstand zu verkeilen, so dass die Montage mit nur geringem Kraftaufwand durchgefĆ¼hrt werden kann.Due to the wedging action of the locking portion, no additional tools are required during installation of the mounting assembly, as the locking portion can be inserted by hand in the clearance between the base plate and the body. The smaller the inclination of the ramp section, the less force is required to wedge the ramp section at the said distance, so that the assembly can be carried out with only a small amount of force.
Ferner werden im Gegensatz zu der bekannten geklebten Variante keine teuren Klebstoffe erforderlich, welche mit der Zeit versprƶden kƶnnen, so dass mit der erfindungsgemƤĆen Montagebaugruppe auch die Probleme hinsichtlich der Dauerhaftigkeit der bekannten geklebten Variante Ć¼berwunden werden kƶnnen.Furthermore, in contrast to the known glued variant no expensive adhesives are required, which can become brittle over time, so that the problems with regard to the durability of the known glued variant can be overcome with the assembly assembly according to the invention.
Letztendlich lƤsst sich die erfindungsgemƤĆe Montagebaugruppe durch Entfernen des Riegelabschnitts auch wieder leicht demontieren, so dass es nicht erforderlich ist, zu Wartungszwecken Teile der Montagebaugruppe zu zerstƶren.Finally, the assembly assembly according to the invention can also be easily removed by removing the locking portion, so that it is not necessary to destroy parts of the assembly assembly for maintenance purposes.
Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der erfindungsgemƤĆen Montagebaugruppe ergeben sich aus den abhƤngigen AnsprĆ¼chen, der Beschreibung sowie aus den Zeichnungen.Advantageous developments of the assembly assembly according to the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims, the description and from the drawings.
Um die Montage der erfindungsgemƤĆen Montagebaugruppe auch von ungeschultem Personal ausfĆ¼hren lassen zu kƶnnen, ist es wĆ¼nschenswert, den Montagevorgang weitestgehend zu standardisieren, um etwaige Fehlerquellen bei der Montage ausschlieĆen zu kƶnnen. Dementsprechend umfasst die Montagebaugruppe eine im Innern der Karosserie anzuordnende Adapterplatte, die zumindest einen ersten elektrischen Anschluss aufweisen kann, welcher sich mit zumindest einem von der FuĆplatte ins Innere der Karosserie ragendem elektrischen Gegenanschluss verbinden lƤsst. Insbesondere kann dabei der Riegelkƶrper der Montagebaugruppe derart beweglich an der Adapterplatte gelagert sein, dass er, auf einer identischen Bewegungsbahn gefĆ¼hrt, wiederholt in dem Abstand verkeilt werden kann.In order to allow the installation of the assembly assembly according to the invention to be carried out by untrained personnel, it is desirable to standardize the assembly process as far as possible in order to exclude any sources of error during assembly can. Accordingly, the mounting assembly comprises an adapter plate to be arranged in the interior of the body, which may have at least one first electrical connection, which can be connected to at least one of the foot plate into the interior of the body projecting electrical mating terminal. In particular, the locking body of the mounting assembly may be movably mounted on the adapter plate such that it can be wedged repeatedly in the distance, guided on an identical trajectory.
Wenn die Adapterplatte einen (ersten) elektrischen Anschluss zur Kopplung mit dem elektrischen Gegenanschluss an der FuĆplatte aufweist, ist durch die Kopplung des ersten elektrischen Anschlusses mit dem zugehƶrigen Gegenanschluss die relative Lage des am Riegelkƶrper befindlichen Riegelabschnitts in Bezug auf den Befestigungsabschnitt bzw. dessen StĆ¼tzabschnitt genau festgelegt, so dass keine Fehler wƤhrend der Montage hinsichtlich der Platzierung des zumindest einen Riegelabschnitts in Bezug auf den zugehƶrigen Befestigungsabschnitt auftreten kƶnnen. Dies kann sich insbesondere dann als vorteilhaft erweisen, wenn Riegelkƶrper mit voneinander abweichend geformten Riegelabschnitten zum Einsatz kommen, da somit ein unbeabsichtigtes Vertauschen der unterschiedlichen Riegelabschnitte vermieden werden kann.When the adapter plate has a (first) electrical connection for coupling to the electrical counterpart connection to the footplate, the relative position of the latch section located on the latch body with respect to the attachment section or its support section is accurate by the coupling of the first electrical connection with the associated mating connection set so that no errors during assembly with regard to the placement of the at least one latch portion with respect to the associated attachment portion may occur. This can prove to be advantageous in particular when bolt bodies with mutually differently shaped bolt sections are used, since thus unintentional swapping of the different bolt sections can be avoided.
Die Reproduzierbarkeit der Montage kann ferner insbesondere durch die bewegliche Lagerung des Riegelkƶrpers an der Adapterplatte verbessert werden, da hierdurch eine Fehlmontage, wie beispielsweise eine Verkantung des rampenfƶrmigen Riegelababschnitts, ausgeschlossen werden kann.The reproducibility of the assembly can be further improved in particular by the movable mounting of the locking body on the adapter plate, as a result of incorrect assembly, such as a tilting the ramp-shaped Riegelababschnitts, can be excluded.
Um die eingangs beschriebene Gefahr eines Kabelbruchs zu vermeiden, wie er bei der geschraubten Montagevariante auftreten kann, kann die Adapterplatte zumindest einen zweiten elektrischen Anschluss aufweisen, welcher in der Ebene der Adapterplatte von derselben abzweigt. Jeder dieser (zweiten) AnschlĆ¼sse kann beispielsweise Ć¼ber ein Leiterblech mit einem zugehƶrigen ersten elektrischen Anschluss der Adapterplatte verbunden sein, welcher mit einem Gegenanschluss an der FuĆplatte koppelbar ist, so dass eine starre Verbindung zwischen den ersten und zweiten elektrischen AnschlĆ¼ssen besteht, welche im Unterschied zu dem abgebogenen Kabel bei der geschraubten Variante keinen Bewegungen unterliegt, was ansonsten mit der Zeit zum Kabelbruch fĆ¼hren kƶnnte.In order to avoid the risk of cable break described above, as it can occur in the screwed mounting variant, the adapter plate may have at least a second electrical connection, which branches off in the plane of the adapter plate of the same. Each of these (second) terminals may, for example, be connected via a conductor plate to an associated first electrical terminal of the adapter plate, which is coupleable to a mating terminal on the foot plate, so that there is a rigid connection between the first and second electrical terminals, which in contrast to the bent cable in the screwed variant is not subject to movements, which otherwise could lead to cable break over time.
GemĆ¤Ć einem weiteren Aspekt der Erfindung kann der Riegelkƶrper Ć¼ber ein Gelenk schwenkbar an der Adapterplatte gelagert sein. Wie noch spƤter erlƤutert wird, kann Ć¼ber dieses Gelenk eine Hebelwirkung erzielt werden, mit Hilfe derer der Riegelabschnitt mit nur geringem Kraftaufwand in dem lichten Abstand zwischen dem StĆ¼tzabschnitt und der Karosserie verkeilt werden kann.According to a further aspect of the invention, the locking body can be pivotally mounted on the adapter plate via a hinge. As will be explained later, a lever effect can be achieved via this joint, by means of which the locking portion can be wedged with little effort in the clear distance between the support portion and the body.
Damit sich der Riegelabschnitt bedingt durch die Schwenkbewegung des Riegelkƶrpers ohne Auftreten etwaiger Klemmungen in den lichten Abstand einfĆ¼hren und darin verkeilen lƤsst, kann der Riegelabschnitt des Riegelkƶrpers einen Schwenkkeil mit einer Aufnahme fĆ¼r den StĆ¼tzabschnitt des Befestigungsabschnitts ausbilden. So kann der Riegelabschnitt beispielsweise eine konkav und konvex gekrĆ¼mmte Keilform aufweisen, worunter hier eine bereichsweise sich verjĆ¼ngende Gestalt verstanden wird, welche derart in sich gekrĆ¼mmt ist, dass eine der beiden sich gegenĆ¼berliegenden KeilflƤchen eine konkave KrĆ¼mmung als Aufnahme fĆ¼r den StĆ¼tzabschnitt, dahingegen die andere KeilflƤche eine konvexe KrĆ¼mmung als GleitflƤche aufweist. Durch eine derartige Formgebung lƤsst sich der Riegelabschnitt infolge der Schwenkbewegung des Riegelkƶrpers leicht in den Abstand zwischen StĆ¼tzabschnitt und Karosserie einfĆ¼hren, ohne dass dabei Klemmungen auftreten.Thus, the latch portion due to the pivotal movement of the latch body without occurrence of any clamps in the clearance and can be wedged therein, the latch portion of the latch body can form a pivot wedge with a receptacle for the support portion of the mounting portion. For example, the locking portion may have a concave and convexly curved wedge shape, which here is a partially tapered shape which is curved in such a way that one of the two opposite wedge surfaces a concave curvature as a receptacle for the support portion, whereas the other wedge surface has a convex curvature as a sliding surface. As a result of such shaping, as a result of the pivoting movement of the locking body, the locking section can be easily inserted into the distance between the support section and the body, without any jamming occurring.
Das Einschwenken des Riegelabschnitts in den lichten Abstand zwischen dem StĆ¼tzabschnitt und der Karosserie kann insbesondere dadurch erreicht werden, dass der Riegelabschnitt auf der Schwenkachse des Gelenks angeordnet ist, so dass der Riegelabschnitt wƤhrend der Schwenkbewegung des Riegelkƶrpers um seine eigene Achse geschwenkt wird.The pivoting of the locking portion in the clearance between the support portion and the body can be achieved in particular in that the locking portion is arranged on the pivot axis of the joint, so that the locking portion is pivoted during the pivotal movement of the locking body about its own axis.
Um die bereits voran angesprochene Hebelwirkung erzeugen zu kƶnnen, kann der Riegelkƶrper einen BetƤtigungshebel aufweisen, durch dessen BetƤtigung der Riegelabschnitt ein Drehmoment erfƤhrt. So ist es nicht erforderlich, den Riegelkƶrper bzw. dessen Riegelabschnitt direkt mit einem entsprechend groĆen Drehmoment zu beaufschlagen; vielmehr kann dieses Drehmoment erzielt werden, indem auf den BetƤtigungshebel eine nur geringe Kraft aufgebracht wird, so dass sich multipliziert mit dem Hebelarm bzw. dessen LƤnge ein entsprechend verstƤrktes Moment erzielen lƤsst.In order to be able to generate the previously mentioned lever action, the locking body can have an actuating lever, by the actuation of which the locking element experiences a torque. So it is not necessary to apply the locking body or its locking portion directly with a correspondingly large torque; Rather, this torque can be achieved by only a small force is applied to the operating lever, so that multiplied by the lever arm or its length can be achieved a correspondingly enhanced moment.
Um die FuĆplatte der erfindungsgemƤĆen Montagebaugruppe zumindest zur Vermeidung eines etwaigen Verrutschens temporƤr wƤhrend der Montage an der Karosserie (lƶsbar) fixieren zu kƶnnen, kann die FuĆplatte zumindest ein Federelement aufweisen. Insbesondere kann von der FuĆplatte beispielweise zumindest ein ins Innere der Karosserie ragendes Federelement abstehen, welches eine derartige Gestalt aufweist, dass es sich in einer Ćffnung der Karosserie lƶsbar verrasten lƤsst. Auf diese Weise lƤsst sich die FuĆplatte in Anlage mit der AuĆenseite der Karosserie lƶsbar fixieren, so dass keine zweite Montageperson erforderlich wird, um wƤhrend der Montage ein Verrutschen der FuĆplatte zu verhindern. Bei dem Federelement kann es sich beispielsweise um eine widerhakenartige Raste handeln, welche sich beim EinfĆ¼hren in die Ćffnung der Karosserie zunƤchst geringfĆ¼gig verformt, um anschlieĆend an der Kontur der Karosserieƶffnung lƶsbar einzurasten. Auf diese Weise kann im Wartungsfall auch eine einfache Demontage gewƤhrleistet werden, ohne dass zusƤtzliches Werkzeug erforderlich wird.In order to fix the base plate of the assembly assembly according to the invention temporarily (at least to avoid possible slippage) during installation on the body (releasably), the base plate may have at least one spring element. In particular, for example, at least one spring element protruding into the interior of the body can protrude from the foot plate, which has a shape such that it can be detachably latched in an opening in the body. To this Way, the foot plate can be releasably fixed in abutment with the outside of the body, so that no second assembler is required to prevent slippage of the foot plate during assembly. The spring element may be, for example, a barb-like catch, which initially deforms slightly when inserted into the opening of the body, in order to releasably lock it to the contour of the body opening. In this way, a simple disassembly can be ensured in the maintenance case, without additional tools is required.
Zum Schutz des elektrischen Gegenanschlusses kann die FuĆplatte einen davon abstehenden rohrfƶrmigen Anschlussstutzen aufweisen, in dessen Innerem sich die GegenanschlĆ¼sse der FuĆplatte befinden, so dass schƤdigende Einwirkungen weitestgehend vermieden werden kƶnnen. DarĆ¼ber hinaus kann der Anschlussstutzen auch als FĆ¼hrung dienen, welche mit einem entsprechenden GegenstĆ¼ck an der Adapterplatte zusammenwirkt, um diese entsprechend einer Steckverbindung zusammenfĆ¼hren zu kƶnnen.To protect the electrical mating connection, the base plate may have a protruding tubular connecting piece, in the interior of which the mating connections of the base plate are located, so that damaging effects can be largely avoided. In addition, the connecting piece can also serve as a guide which cooperates with a corresponding counterpart on the adapter plate in order to be able to combine these according to a plug connection.
Da durch den Anschlussstutzen bereits ein ins Innere der Karosserie ragendes Element vorhanden ist, kann das bereits zuvor erwƤhnte Federelement an dem Anschlussstutzen vorgesehen sein. Davon abgesehen ist es jedoch ebenfalls mƶglich, das Federelement an den ins Innere der Karosserie ragenden Befestigungsabschnitten auszubilden. Durch eine derartige integrale Ausbildung der Federelemente kƶnnen einerseits Gewicht und zum anderen Kosten aufgrund des geringeren Materialaufwands eingespart werden.Since a protruding into the interior of the body element is already present through the connection piece, the previously mentioned spring element may be provided on the connection piece. Apart from that, however, it is also possible to form the spring element on the projecting into the interior of the body mounting portions. By such an integral design of the spring elements on the one hand weight and on the other hand costs can be saved due to the lower material cost.
Da der Riegelabschnitt in dem lichten Abstand verkeilt werden kann, kann es wĆ¼nschenswert sein, die beim EinfĆ¼hren in den lichten Abstand entstehende Reibung auf ein bestimmtes MaĆ zu begrenzen. Ebenfalls kann es wĆ¼nschenswert sein, dass der Riegelabschnitt nicht direkt mit der Innenseite der Karosserie in Anlage gelangt, um ein Verkratzen der Karosserie zu vermeiden. Dementsprechend kann die Adapterplatte zumindest einen Gleitabschnitt umfassen, welcher derart angeordnet ist, dass beim Verspannen der FuĆplatte der Riegelabschnitt mit seiner konvexen GleitflƤche daran entlang gleitet. Um die Reibung mƶglichst weitgehend zu reduzieren, kann der Gleitabschnitt beispielsweise aus einem Material gefertigt oder zumindest damit beschichtet sein, welches einen nur sehr geringen Reibkoeffizienten aufweist, wie dies beispielsweise bei TeflonĀ® (PTFE) der Fall ist.Since the latch portion can be keyed in the clearance, it may be desirable to insert it in the clearance limiting friction to a certain extent. It may also be desirable that the latch portion does not interfere directly with the inside of the body to avoid scratching the body. Accordingly, the adapter plate may comprise at least one sliding portion arranged such that when the base plate is braced, the locking portion slides with its convex sliding surface therealong. In order to reduce the friction as much as possible, the sliding portion may for example be made of a material or at least coated with it, which has a very low coefficient of friction, as is the case for example with Teflon Ā® (PTFE).
Da moderne Kraftfahrzeugantennen meist mehrere Sende- und/oder Empfangantennen einschlieĆlich der zugehƶrigen Elektronikkomponenten umfassen, welche von der FuĆplatte aufgenommen werden kƶnnen, besteht ein Bedarf danach, die FuĆplatte vor der eigentlichen Montage der Montagebaugruppe an der Karosserie bereits vorab zu bestĆ¼cken, um anschlieĆend die fertig bestĆ¼ckte FuĆplatte als Ganzes montieren zu kƶnnen. Da die genannten Sende- und/oder Empfangsantennen sowie die zugehƶrigen Elektronikkomponenten jedoch gegen sowohl WitterungseinflĆ¼sse als auch mechanische Beanspruchungen wƤhrend des Transports und der Montage empfindlich sind, kann die Montagebaugruppe ferner eine zur Einhausung der Elektronikkomponenten der Antenne dienende GehƤusekappe aufweisen, welche lƶsbar mit der FuĆplatte verbunden ist. Die gesamte Einheit aus FuĆplatte und der damit verbundenen GehƤusekappe lƤsst sich dadurch als Ganzes wƤhrend der Montage der Montagebaugruppe an der Karosserie anbringen, womit die Montage beschleunigt werden kann.Since modern motor vehicle antennas usually comprise a plurality of transmitting and / or receiving antennas, including the associated electronic components, which can be picked up by the footplate, there is a need to pre-populate the footplate prior to the actual assembly of the assembly assembly to the body in order to complete the finished assemble equipped foot plate as a whole. However, since the aforementioned transmitting and / or receiving antennas and the associated electronic components are sensitive to both weathering and mechanical stresses during transport and assembly, the mounting assembly may further comprise a housing cap for housing the electronic components of the antenna which is detachable with the foot plate connected is. The entire unit of foot plate and the associated housing cap can thereby attach as a whole during assembly of the mounting assembly to the body, whereby the assembly can be accelerated.
Zur Aufnahme der FuĆplatte kann die GehƤusekappe eine derart auf die Form der FuĆplatte abgestimmte Ćffnung zur Aufnahme der FuĆplatte aufweisen, dass durch die FuĆplatte der Innenraum der GehƤusekappe nach auĆen verschlossen wird.For receiving the base plate, the housing cap may have such an adapted to the shape of the foot plate opening for receiving the base plate that is closed by the base plate, the interior of the housing cap to the outside.
GemĆ¤Ć einem weiteren Aspekt der Erfindung kann die GehƤusekappe mit einem GummiĆ¼berzug versehen sein, welcher eine Ć¼ber die Ćffnung der GehƤusekappe Ć¼berstehende Dichtlippe ausbildet. Diese Dichtlippe kommt bei der Montage der FuĆplatte bzw. der Einheit aus FuĆplatte und GehƤusekappe in Anlage mit der AuĆenseite der Karosserie und dichtet somit den Innenraum der GehƤusekappe gegenĆ¼ber der AuĆenatmosphƤre ab, so dass keine Feuchtigkeit in den Innenraum der GehƤusekappe eindringen kann.According to a further aspect of the invention, the housing cap may be provided with a rubber coating, which forms a projecting over the opening of the housing cap sealing lip. This sealing lip comes in the assembly of the base plate or the unit of base plate and housing cap into contact with the outside of the body and thus seals the interior of the housing cap from the outside atmosphere, so that moisture can not penetrate into the interior of the housing cap.
