Definitions

  • the invention relates to an antenna for a vehicle, having a carrier, in particular a printed circuit board, with antenna structures for transmitting and / or receiving high-frequency signals being arranged on the carrier and with the antenna having a connector for connection to an electronic device, according to the features of Preamble of claim 1.
  • Watertight housings for example two housing parts that are connected to one another via a seal, are complex to manufacture and assemble and are therefore usually very costly
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of developing a known antenna of the generic type in such a way that it is easy to manufacture, is inexpensive and has the required tightness.
  • the antenna has a plastic half-shell with a surrounding frame, into which the carrier is inserted, the plastic half-shell being filled with a potting compound.
  • the plastic half-shell with the surrounding frame can be produced simply and inexpensively, for example in a plastic injection molding process. This is especially true for high numbers of items.
  • the carrier for example the printed circuit board with the antenna structures on it for sending and / or receiving high-frequency signals, can be inserted into the plastic half-shell within the surrounding frame and set in its desired position.
  • the Plastic half-shell with the potting compound as a result of which at least one upper side of the carrier, preferably both sides and also the edges, are surrounded by the potting compound.
  • the volume of the plastic half-shell that is to be filled with the potting compound is known (possibly taking into account the carrier, the fastening means and the connector pointing into the interior of the plastic half-shell), a predeterminable amount of potting compound can be poured into the plastic half-shell and harden there, so that the required watertightness and the associated mechanical protection of the sensitive antenna structures is achieved.
  • the volume of the potting compound is selected so that the potting compound cannot flow off over the upper edge of the surrounding frame, but ends at the maximum or even slightly below it.
  • the carrier in particular the printed circuit board, with the antenna structures is not only advantageously completely surrounded by potting compound, but the antenna also has the necessary stability for outdoor use in automobiles due to the presence of the plastic half-shell with the surrounding frame on.
  • the carrier in particular the printed circuit board
  • the carrier is fixed to the plastic half-shell by means of fastening means.
  • fastening means can, for example, be snap-in hooks that interact with spacers on the surface of the plastic half-shell in order to fix the flat carrier, in particular the printed circuit board, at a short distance above the surface of the plastic half-shell, so that this gap thus formed with the potting compound to achieve watertightness can be filled out.
  • fastening means such as rivets, screws or simple spacers, which are arranged between the carrier and the plastic half-shell and then also surrounded with potting compound, are also conceivable.
  • the plastic half-shell forms a connector housing of the connector.
  • the plastic half-shell has a mounting foot.
  • the mounting foot is designed in such a way that the antenna can be arranged and fastened at the desired installation location via it.
  • the mounting foot is connected to a holder, in particular an angle holder.
  • the antenna can be arranged and fixed at its installation location either solely via the mounting foot or only alone using the holder or by using the mounting foot and holder together. If the mounting foot and the holder are separate components, there is the advantage that a uniform mounting foot of the antenna is used, which interacts with different holders, in particular different angle holders, in order to be able to take different installation geometries into account.
  • the mounting foot is connected to the holder, in particular the angle holder, via at least one strut.
  • the antenna can be arranged approximately at right angles to the mounting surface where it is arranged and fixed, this arrangement being given the required stability by the at least one strut, preferably two struts, which is particularly advantageous when used outdoors in automobiles.
  • the connector is a FAKRA connector. This means that a standardized connector is available for use in automobiles, so that the antenna can advantageously be used universally and connected to the electronic device.
  • the potting compound is a potting compound based on PU or epoxy or silicone.
  • PU polyurethane-based
  • FIGS. 1 to 3 show, as far as shown in detail, an antenna 1 which has a plastic half-shell 2, the plastic half-shell 2 having a surrounding frame 3, in particular on its outer edge.
  • the antenna 1 is designed to transmit and / or receive high-frequency signals depending on the antenna structures, antenna elements or the like used.
  • the frequency ranges and services (such as telephone, internet, GPS, WLAN and so on) can be freely selected.
  • LTE frequencies Long Term Evolution
  • the use with LTE frequencies is particularly advantageous, since the antenna is used outside the vehicle and waterproofness plays an important role.
  • a no longer recognizable carrier with antenna structures has already been inserted into the plastic half-shell 2 and the volume within the plastic half-shell 2 has been filled with a potting compound 4 up to a maximum level of the edge of the surrounding frame 3.
  • the plastic half-shell 2 is filled with the potting compound 4 up to a maximum of the upper edge of the surrounding frame 3 and can, however, also be below the frame 3 take place.
  • a plug connector 5, in particular a FAKRA plug connector protrudes outwards from the antenna 1 in order to feed the signals received with the antenna 1 to an electronic device (not shown in detail) via a corresponding mating connector and a cable. The same applies in the event that high-frequency signals are to be emitted via the antenna 1 via an electronic device.
  • the antenna 1 To fasten the antenna 1 at its installation location, it has a mounting foot 6, the plastic half-shell 2 with its frame 3, the connector 5 (more precisely its connector housing) and the mounting foot 6 forming a one-piece component in a particularly advantageous manner. While the mounting foot 6 can be designed in such a way that the antenna 1 can be arranged and fixed at its installation location by means of it, an angle bracket 7 is shown in an alternative embodiment, which is fastened to the mounting foot 6. If the angled holder 7 (or generally a different-shaped holder that does not necessarily have to be angular) consists of a metallic material, it can optionally be used for a ground connection or shielding of the antenna 1.
  • Figure 4 shows the antenna 1 before the potting compound 4 has been poured into the plastic half-shell 2.
  • a carrier in particular a printed circuit board 8
  • FIG. 4 shows the antenna 1 before the potting compound 4 has been poured into the plastic half-shell 2.
  • a carrier in particular a printed circuit board 8
  • FIG. 4 shows the antenna 1 before the potting compound 4 has been poured into the plastic half-shell 2.
  • a carrier in particular a printed circuit board 8
  • spacers are present, so that the potting compound 4 enters this intermediate area between the surface of the frame 3 over the intermediate area between the outer edge of the circuit board 8 and the inner area of the frame 3 PCB 8 and surface of the plastic half-shell 2 can penetrate.
  • the circuit board 8 in addition or as an alternative to this intermediate area, also have at least one hole, in particular also several holes, so that the potting compound 4 can pour into the flat intermediate area between the plastic half-shell 2 and the printed circuit board 8. This is particularly necessary when the outer edge of the printed circuit board 8 lies completely or almost completely against the frame 3 or only to a very small extent Distance to it is arranged.
  • a fastening means 9 is present.
  • the fastening means 9 is designed here as a screw which is passed through a hole in the circuit board 8 and engages in a thread which is located on the plastic half-shell 2.
  • At least one spacer can be present between the underside of the circuit board 8, which is directed in the direction of the plastic half-shell 2, and the surface of the plastic half-shell 2, which is directed in the direction of the underside of the circuit board 8, to keep the circuit board 8 in To keep a distance to the plastic half-shell 2.
  • the connector housing is a component of the plastic half-shell 2
  • the inner conductor of the connector 5 is directed in the direction of a soldering point 10 on the circuit board 8.
  • the inner conductor of the connector 5 is soldered to the soldering point 10 on the circuit board 8 in order to establish an electrical connection between the connector 5 and the unspecified and also not produce antenna structures shown in more detail on the circuit board 8.
  • the area of the soldering point 10 can also be referred to as the antenna base point of the antenna 1.
  • 11 also designates a strut, which in this case is part of the plastic half-shell 2.
  • struts 11 which are arranged parallel to one another and which interact with the holder, in particular the angle holder 7. It is conceivable, for example, that the at least one strut 11 is designed in such a way that the holder, in particular the angle holder 7, is fixed to the plastic half-shell 2 via it.
  • This can be permanently supported by corresponding locking means.
