Definitions

  • the invention relates to a helical antenna support.
  • It relates more specifically to an internal antenna of a product communicating over the radio, in particular for counting products, such as metering modules for meters of fluid or electricity.
  • the antenna is soldered to the product's electronic board and must be properly oriented to match the operating radio frequency.
  • This support consists of four elements shaped in the form of cross and integral with a cylindrical base, these elements being rectangular plates and being provided with slots arranged at a precise pitch on their outer edge. Wedge-shaped elements are disposed between these elements and a conductive wire is thus disposed in the slots and against the corners to form an antenna. The corners are then slid off and the antenna is thus formed and supported by the support.
  • This mode of support supposes a manufacture of the antenna directly on the support. If an antenna already manufactured in the form of a helix is obtained, the support described in this patent is not suitable.
  • the invention solves this problem by proposing a helical antenna support for mounting an antenna already manufactured and ensuring a perfect hold of the turns of the antenna at a specific step.
  • the invention proposes a helical antenna support comprising at least three substantially rectangular support legs also distributed around a central column, the width of these support legs being such that their outer edge is disposed on a cylinder geometric section substantially equal to the internal section of the antenna, characterized in that it also comprises at least three comb elements having slots spaced a pitch identical to that of the turns of the antenna and intended to be fixed on each outer edge of said support legs, with their slots facing towards said support legs.
  • said comb members are shaped of a U-shaped section each U-branch comprises said slots and intended to be fitted on the outer edge of each branch of the support.
  • said comb elements comprise at least one locking pin in an orifice arranged on the edge outer of said support legs.
  • Said comb members may be connected to each said support leg by a hinge.
  • Said branches advantageously comprise an extra width of support of the lower turn of the antenna.
  • the support may comprise a guide orifice of the end of said antenna intended to be fixed on an electronic card.
  • the figure 1 is a perspective view of a helical antenna mounted on a support according to the invention.
  • FIGS. 2 to 5 illustrate the steps of mounting a helical antenna on a support according to the invention.
  • the figure 6 is a perspective view of a support according to the invention according to an alternative embodiment.
  • the invention relates to a support 1 of helical antenna 2, made of plastic, comprising at least three support legs 1A, 1B, 1C substantially rectangular also distributed around a central column 1D, the width of these support branches being such that their outer edge is arranged on a geometric cylinder of section substantially equal to the internal section of the antenna 2.
  • This support 1 also comprises at least three comb elements 2A, 2B, 2C, also made of plastic, having slots spaced at a pitch identical to that of the turns of the antenna 2 and intended to be fixed on each outer edge of the support legs 1A, 1B, 1C, with their slots facing the support legs.
  • the support comprises a guide orifice 3 of the end 2A of the antenna intended to be fixed on an electronic card 4.
  • the antenna 2 is disposed on this support by interlocking the latter inside the antenna, with an orientation such that the end 2A of the antenna comes to be introduced into the orifice 3 of the support.
  • the branches 1A, 1B, 1C advantageously comprise an over-width 5A, 5B, 5D of support of the lower turn of the antenna.
  • the antenna 2 is in the position shown on the figure 3 .
  • the comb members 2A, 2B, 2C are then attached to each outer edge of the support legs 1A, 1B, 1C, as shown in FIG. figure 4 .
  • These comb members 2A, 2B, 2C are formed of a U-shaped section each branch of the U comprises the slots 6 and intended to be fitted on the outer edge of each leg of the support 1A, 1B, 1C.
  • the slots 6 receive the turns of the antenna 2 which are thus held in place.
  • the comb members 2A, 2B, 2C each comprise at least one pin 7 snap into an orifice arranged on the outer edge of the support legs.
  • the three comb members have an identical length and are positioned at different levels on the support legs 1A, 1B and 1C. They are locked in position by snapping each peg 7 into the corresponding hole of the outer edge of the support legs.
  • the antenna 2 thus completely mounted on the support 1, as illustrated on the figure 5 , can be fixed on an electronic card 4 by means of centering and positioning pins 9, four in number, inserted for one into the card and placed thereon for others.
  • the comb members 2A, 2B, 2C can be connected to each support leg 1A, 1B, 1C, by a hinge, here consisting of a flexible tongue 10.
