Abstract
Description
L'invention concerne un support d'antenne hélicoïdale.The invention relates to a helical antenna support.
Elle concerne plus précisément une antenne interne d'un produit communiquant par radio, en particulier pour des produits de comptage, tels que des modules de télérelevé de compteurs de fluide ou d'électricité.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.
L'antenne est soudée sur la carte électronique du produit et doit être correctement orientée pour s'accorder à la fréquence radio de fonctionnement.The antenna is soldered to the product's electronic board and must be properly oriented to match the operating radio frequency.
Or elle peut être déformée lors de son montage sur la carte électronique et le pas des spires, qui est un paramètre important de fonctionnement, peut également varier dans le temps et dégrader les performances du produit.Or it can be deformed when mounted on the electronic card and the pitch of the turns, which is an important parameter of operation, may also vary over time and degrade the performance of the product.
Il a donc déjà été envisagé de la consolider au moyen d'un support.It has already been envisaged to consolidate it by means of a support.
Un support d'antenne hélicoïdale est décrit dans le brevet 5 406 693.A helical antenna support is described in the patent 5,406,693.
Ce support est constitué de quatre éléments conformés en forme de croix et solidaires d'une base cylindrique, ces éléments étant des plaques rectangulaires et étant pourvus de fentes disposées à un pas précis sur leur bord externe. Des éléments en forme de coin sont disposés entre ces éléments et un fil conducteur est ainsi disposé dans les fentes et contre les coins pour former une antenne. Les coins sont ensuite enlevés par coulissement et l'antenne est ainsi formée et supportée par le support.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.
Ce mode de support suppose une fabrication de l'antenne directement sur le support. Si l'on se procure une antenne déjà fabriquée en forme d'hélice, le support décrit dans ce brevet ne convient pas.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.
En effet, sa mise en place dans les fentes du support suppose soit une déformation par écartement de l'antenne pour emboîter les spires dans les fentes respectives, soit un vissage par rotation de l'antenne sur les fentes.Indeed, its implementation in the slots of the support assumes either deformation by spacing the antenna to fit the turns in the respective slots, or screwing by rotation of the antenna on the slots.
Or ces deux modes de montage sont consommateurs de temps et complexes, et surtout sont susceptibles de dégradation de l'antenne qui est constituée d'un fil relativement fin.However, these two modes of assembly are time consuming and complex, and especially are susceptible to degradation of the antenna which is made of a relatively thin wire.
L'invention résout ce problème en proposant un support d'antenne hélicoïdale destiné au montage d'une antenne déjà fabriquée et assurant un maintien parfait des spires de l'antenne à un pas précis.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.
Pour ce faire, l'invention propose un support d'antenne hélicoïdale comportant au moins trois branches de support sensiblement rectangulaires également réparties autour d'une colonne centrale, la largeur de ces branches de support étant telle que leur bord externe est disposé sur un cylindre géométrique de section sensiblement égale à la section interne de l'antenne, caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte également au moins trois éléments de peignes comportant des fentes espacées d'un pas identique à celui des spires de l'antenne et destinées à être fixés sur chaque bord externe desdites branches de support, avec leur fentes tournées vers lesdites branches de support.To do this, 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.
Grâce à l'invention, toute déformation et donc toute perte de fonctionnement de l'antenne sont évitées. Le montage de l'antenne sur une carte électronique ainsi que son orientation sont également facilités.Thanks to the invention, any deformation and therefore any loss of operation of the antenna are avoided. The mounting of the antenna on an electronic card and its orientation are also facilitated.
Selon un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, lesdits éléments de peigne sont conformées d'un profilé en U dont chaque branche du U comporte lesdites fentes et destinés à être emboîtés sur le bord externe de chaque branche du support.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, 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.
Avantageusement, lesdits éléments de peigne comportent au moins un tenon d'encliquetage dans un orifice agencé sur le bord externe desdites branches de support.Advantageously, said comb elements comprise at least one locking pin in an orifice arranged on the edge outer of said support legs.
Lesdits éléments de peigne peuvent être reliées à chaque dite branche de support par une charnière.Said comb members may be connected to each said support leg by a hinge.
Lesdites branches comportent avantageusement une sur-largeur d'appui de la spire inférieure de l'antenne.Said branches advantageously comprise an extra width of support of the lower turn of the antenna.
Le support peut comporter un orifice de guidage de l'extrémité de ladite antenne destinée à être fixée sur une carte électronique.The support may comprise a guide orifice of the end of said antenna intended to be fixed on an electronic card.
L'invention est décrite ci-après plus en détail à l'aide de figures ne représentant que des modes de réalisation préférés de l'invention.The invention is described below in more detail with the aid of figures representing only preferred embodiments of the invention.
