Definitions

  • the invention relates to a mobile ID transmitter for locking systems of a motor vehicle, in particular for keyless access systems on motor vehicles.
  • Such ID encoders are for example from the DE 102007020432 the applicant as well as the EP 2211005 known.
  • Generic mobile ID encoders have a housing which surrounds an electronic module accommodated in the housing. It is known to connect the housing parts of the ID transmitter during assembly or after assembly so that the electronics assembly is encapsulated in the housing.
  • the electronic assembly includes electrical circuitry and components that allow the ID transmitter to wirelessly communicate with a vehicle-side device to complete a dialog to verify authorization to access a motor vehicle.
  • Numerous ID encoders also provide controls that allow the user to send a shift request to the vehicle.
  • the electronic assembly has a plurality of conductor coils. Among other things, these coils serve to receive a wake-up signal emitted by the motor vehicle, whereupon the ID transmitter is set from a standby state in a communication state. In this communication state, the request authorization dialog with the motor vehicle is then processed.
  • a plurality of coils with different orientations may be accommodated in the space in the electronic assembly.
  • the direction of the coil is understood to mean the orientation of its winding axis. It is known, for example, to align the coils along the three main spatial axes, that is to say substantially orthogonally to one another.
  • this arrangement along different spatial axes has an increased space requirement and requires a certain minimum size.
  • an additional ID transmitter can be issued with reduced functionality, but the user allows access to the motor vehicle and is easy to carry because of its small size, for example, in recreational activities.
  • the encapsulation of the electronic module allows the ID transmitter to be carried even under adverse environmental conditions. For example, such an ID-donor can be carried on beach visits or water sports.
  • the object of the invention is to reduce the size of an ID transmitter, but without disadvantages in terms of receiving functionality in purchasing.
  • the mobile ID transmitter has a housing, which is firmly closed after receiving the associated components in the ID transmitter, for example, is welded.
  • the housing may be formed from a durable plastic or other material that does not or hardly hinder the propagation of radio signals through the housing.
  • the housing may be formed fluid-tight, in order to offer the greatest possible benefit in the combination of small size and high resistance to environmental conditions (moisture, water, sand, etc.).
  • a plurality of conductor coils are arranged according to the invention, wherein the conductor coils are part of the electronic assembly and the electronic assembly has an associated board which extends in the ID transmitter in an XY plane.
  • On the board at least one conductor coil is arranged, which is oriented with its coil axis parallel to the XY plane board.
  • Function blocks of the electronic module coupled together.
  • a flat battery or a flat-pack battery is arranged on the board in an associated receptacle for supplying power to the electronic components of the electronic assembly.
  • the extension of the battery in the plane of the board is a relevant limitation of the possible reduction.
  • the battery shields the propagation of electromagnetic waves, in particular those low-frequency waves, such as those used to wake up the ID transmitter, with their metallic components or the metallic housing, namely in the region of their hiding.
  • the area of expansion of the battery on the board and the back of the board must therefore be kept clear of transmitters or receivers.
  • one of the coils is oriented with its coil axis as a Z coil perpendicular to the board, wherein coil windings of this Z coil extend in the XY plane and along the circumference of the board are arranged.
  • the Z coil is oriented with its winding axis perpendicular to the board ,
  • the Z coil is not directly on the board, for example, by surface mount techniques arranged, as may be the case with the other existing coils. It is rather arranged along a circumference of the board.
  • an arrangement of the coil windings in the immediate vicinity of the boundaries of the board in the XY plane means along a circumference.
  • the coil winding can thus take place, for example, along the edge of the board, but above the board.
  • supports can be formed on the board, which serve as systems for the winding.
  • the electronic assembly or such components, which are arranged on the board and the battery are located in the inner free area of the coil, as this rotates around the board and the populated area.
  • the cross-sectional area of the coil is substantially larger than the cross-sectional area of such coils, which are arranged in the XY plane and are mounted, for example, on the circuit board.
  • the inductance of a coil is proportional to the cross-sectional area and also to the square of the number of turns.
  • An adaptation of the required inductance of the Z coil to the received power of the other coils can be realized on the basis of theoretical knowledge and simple test measurements.
  • the coil can also be deliberately equipped with a different reception power than the coils in the XY plane.
  • the Z coil is designed in its formation therefore completely different from the surface mounted coils in the X or Y direction on the board.
  • the coils which are mounted on the board, space-saving individual components can be used, since no alignment in the Z-direction is required.
  • the winding of the Z-coil takes no board area and therefore reduces the minimum size of the board and also the required height on the board considerably.
  • the windings or windings of the Z coil extend beyond the circuit board and encircling it.
  • the coil need not have any direct contact with the board.
  • the board is provided with a circumferential receptacle, for example groove, around which the spool is wound. Then the board itself represents the support for the windings of the Z-coil. This method is particularly space-saving, but in production regularly consuming.
  • the coil may, for example, be wound in a housing component into which the circuit board is received. At the Closing the housing then the coil is contacted by corresponding contacts on the board.
  • a carrier ring which is separate from the board is formed, which receives the coil windings of the Z coil in a groove formed along the circumference of the ring.
  • This ring may be formed similarly to a spoked bicycle rim with the coil windings wound in the circumferential recess (e.g., groove).
  • the ring can be used separately during assembly in the housing or it can, for example, be glued to the board or clipped with locking means so that it rotates along the circumferential line.
  • contacts are formed on the carrier ring which are connected to the conductor ends of the Z coil windings.
  • the contacts of the carrier ring are then to be aligned to contacts on the board and can be used in assembly e.g. be brought into contact with each other by a press connection.
  • a prefabricated carrier ring with coil and contacts can then be easily applied to a corresponding populated board and contacted by press connections.
  • a further antenna arrangement is also provided, which is however designed for communication in a high-frequency frequency range.
  • This high frequency antenna has a different orientation of the winding axis than the Z coil.
  • the HF antenna can have a bent coil axis.
  • the cross section of the coil is substantially smaller than the cross section of the Z coil and the RF coil is arranged with its winding axis parallel to the circuit board.
  • the RF antenna runs in sections parallel and in the vicinity of a peripheral line of the board, ie in the vicinity of their limitation in the XY plane.
  • the RF coil can be arranged with slight spatial offset to the windings of the Z coil.
  • the high-frequency coil runs in a preferred embodiment of the invention only along a portion of the perimeter of the board, whereas the windings of the Z coil completely revolve around the board according to their number of turns. It is essential that also for the RF antenna, the boundary-near area of the board is used to minimize the size of the board.
  • the coil cross section of the Z coil in the XY plane is larger than the area of the board in the XY plane.
  • the coil cross-section of the Z-coil completely covers the board area and even a board-free area is formed within the coil, for example as circumferential free annulus or space which is filled by a separate carrier ring. An increased free coil cross section improves the reception performance of the coil.
  • the circuit board and thus also the Z coil are rounded in the XY plane, e.g. are formed circular.
  • the board and also the coil has a round cross section in the XY plane, so it is e.g. around a short cylindrical coil of a circular cylinder, wherein the Z-extension of the Z-coil, so the coil length L, small in relation to the coil diameter.
  • a circular winding causes the least amount of rejects in the coil windings and is otherwise the least susceptible to errors since there are no punctual loads.
  • the Z coil is additionally designed as a charging coil for a contactless charging of a coupled to the Z coil battery or a battery. Between battery and Z coil then a corresponding charging electronics is provided, which controls the charging process.
  • Non-contact charging technology is one in which the energy for charging a battery or the battery without cables or connectors and without electrical contacts between a charging station and the ID transmitter is transmitted.
  • a transformer coupling for transmission in the near field is used here.
  • the ID transmitter is placed in a field of a charging station and the energy is transmitted inductively between the two components as an alternating electromagnetic field.
  • the charging electronics on the side of the ID transmitter must be designed in such a way that the charging process is started automatically in the presence of a correspondingly strong charging field.
  • a further, separate coil with the same winding diameter is formed.
  • This further coil is wound on the same support as the Z coil, but separately coupled to the electronic assembly.
  • the windings of the coils may overlap or one coil is wound on the other coil.
  • the coils may also be side by side, e.g. axially wound slightly offset along the winding axis.
  • the further coil is a coil that is part of an NFC device.
  • NFC Near Field Communication
  • NFC technology is operated in a significantly different frequency range (13.56 MHz) than the transmission of alarm signals (125 kHz are usual), the coils do not interfere in the development of their functions.
  • offset grooves in the associated carrier may be formed to safely arrange the coils next to each other. Likewise, however, a winding on the same support section is possible.
  • the number of turns may be the same, but is usually different according to the different applications.
  • the Z-coil may e.g. 150-300 windings, the NFC coil requires regularly only 5-20 windings.
  • the contacting of the further coil can be identical to the contacting of the Z coil, for example, offset in the interior of the winding on another section of the board done.
  • the ID transmitter 1 is formed with a circular cross section in the drawing plane, the XY plane.
  • the ID transmitter 1 has a circuit board 2 on which electronic components are arranged on both sides.
  • the observer side facing two coils 3 and 4 are arranged on the upper side of the board. These coils 3, 4 are orthogonal to each other in the XY plane and are referred to as X and Y coils, respectively.
  • Other functional components 5 are arranged on the board.
  • the formed on the board 2 traces are not shown this illustration for reasons of clarity.
  • a battery 8 is attached to the power supply of the entire circuit, which is fixed with a contact clip 9 and contacted.
  • a support ring 10 is arranged, on which a coil winding of the Z-coil 11 is wound.
  • the coil ends of the Z coil 11 are guided on the support ring 10 in the area 10A to two contact points 11a, 11b.
  • the support ring 10 can be attached to the supported coil 11 on the board 2, wherein the contacts 11a, 11b are brought to underlying contact pins on the board 2 to cover and in conductive contact.
  • the coil 11 is contacted with the circuit on the circuit board 2 and the coil 11 can fulfill its function as an LF receiver coil.
  • the coil 11 has a winding axis, which from the plane in FIG. 1 protrudes, so along the Z axis. Together with the coils 3, 4 and 11 LF receiver coils are oriented in all spatial directions.
  • Fig. 1 Shown are the coils 3 and 4 in the plane of the board 2 arranged so that they no longer overlap the cross section and the projection of the battery 8 on the board 2. In this way, the reception power of the coils 3 and 4 is not excessively adversely affected. Since the components 5 have no transmitting or receiving function, these components can be mounted on the opposite side of the board 2, but congruent with the battery 8, so that this space is available.
  • the coil 11 does not have the same coil length as the coils 3 or 4, the coil cross section of the coil 11 is considerably larger than those coils. The coil 11 can develop in this way the required reception sensitivity despite reduced length.
  • a high-frequency coil 15 is also arranged along a circular arc at the outer boundary of the board. Also, this coil does not overlap with the cross section of the battery and is therefore hardly limited in their reception and transmission functions.
  • the coil 15 is formed as a curved high-frequency coil and mounted in contrast to the coil 11 on the circuit board 2.
  • the Z coil 11 is also formed as a charging coil for the battery 8.
  • the coil 11 can be contactlessly coupled to a corresponding charging coil of a charging station (not shown) in order to recharge the energy store 8.
  • FIG. 2 schematically shows a side view along the section line A from FIG. 1 ,
  • the battery 8 and the components 5, 4, 15 are arranged on opposite sides of the board 2.
  • the Z-coil 11 is wound in a recess of the support ring 10 having a receptacle similar to a bicycle rim.
  • the ID transmitter points according to FIG. 2 an extremely flat design, which can be achieved in particular by the arrangement of the Z coil.
  • a plastic housing 20 is pressed or welded, so that the interior of the ID transmitter is sealed tightly from environmental influences and the ID transmitter can be easily carried to any leisure activities. This compact design and size is possible because the area around the board is used as a changing room.
