Definitions

  • the invention relates to a broadband omnidirectional antenna, which is used in particular in rail vehicles and just such a rail vehicle.
  • Omnidirectional antennas are multi-band capable due to their broadband and preferably emit in vertical polarization. When used in rail vehicles, such as locomotives or cars, this is achieved in that the vehicle can be in communication with a base station.
  • the WO 2015/008607 A1 shows an antenna assembly that can be used in automobiles and trains.
  • a trough-shaped radiator arrangement is fastened with a first end region to a base plate and is fed via this end region.

  • the trough-shaped radiator arrangement also comprises two retaining means, which are fastened at a distance from one another to the base plate. Between these holding means, the trough-shaped radiator arrangement is arranged.
  • the holding means engage around the circumferential second end region of the trough-shaped radiator arrangement.

  • the monopole radiator is connected on the one hand via its base to the base plate or the counterweight surface and via an inner hood which surrounds the monopole radiator held.
  • the inner hood is in turn surrounded by an outer hood.
  • a disadvantage of the antenna which in the DE 103 59 605 A1 is shown that the mounting of the antenna is expensive and this does not provide a sufficiently high resistance to vibration, as can occur, for example, in rail vehicles.
  • these vibrations are due to vibrations by the drive device (eg diesel engine) or to leaks in the track itself, which allow a deformation-free expansion of the track at higher temperatures.
  • the object of the present invention to provide a broadband omnidirectional antenna and a rail vehicle with such an omnidirectional antenna, which do not have the disadvantages of the prior art.

  • the outer conductor 26 of the plug element 22 is preferably galvanically connected to the base plate 2, which consists of a metal or a metal alloy or comprises a metal or a metal alloy.
  • this preferably also comprises a GNSS module 30, which, for example, in FIG FIG. 3 is shown.
  • the GNSS module 30 is preferably a GPS module, which is arranged in the receiving space 8 of the radiator 4 in its end region 4b.
  • the GNSS module 30 preferably does not extend beyond the end region 4b of the radiator 4 in the mounted state of the omnidirectional antenna 1, and thus is preferably located entirely exclusively within the receiving space 8. As a result, the overall height is kept low. However, the GNSS module 30 could also protrude beyond the end portion 4b of the radiator 4.
  • the omnidirectional antenna 1 comprises at least one support shoulder 31 (see FIG. 5 ) extending from the inside of the radiator 4 into its receiving space 8 inside.
  • the GNSS module 30 lies on the at least a support shoulder 31.
  • the at least one support shoulder 31 comprises a threaded bore, so that the GNSS module with a (for example, dielectric or metallic) screw connection with the support shoulder 31 can be screwed, whereby a frictional connection is formed.
  • the GNSS module 30 is preferably a printed circuit board having an antenna structure mounted thereon for receiving position signals transmitted via satellites. Preferably, the necessary electronic components are also mounted on this GNSS module 30 so that it outputs only a digital signal.
  • This connection cable 32 is passed through an opening in the base plate 2 through this.
  • the holding device 10 preferably comprises a receiving groove 33 accessible from the outside, that is, accessible from at least one side (see FIG FIG. 2 ) in which the connection cable 32 is arranged.
  • the receiving groove 33 preferably extends along the holding device 10 approximately parallel to the longitudinal axis 5, wherein the receiving groove 33 extends at the upper end 10b of the holding device 10 approximately parallel to the base plate 2 in the direction of the radiator 4 and opens into the receiving space 8.
  • connection cable 32 can be easily inserted into the receiving groove 33 after assembly.
  • it has a slightly larger cross section than the inner diameter of the receiving groove 33.
  • the connecting cable 32 has to be pressed in somewhat, whereby it can not slip out of the receiving groove 33, even with later occurring vibrations.
  • the connecting cable 32 preferably extends partially below the receiving device 12 and more preferably below the supporting and fastening portion 14 of the receiving device 12.
  • the receiving device 12 and in particular the support and mounting portion 14 can be screwed its end 14 b with a screw in the base plate 2. This happens after the final installation of the connection cable 32. Due to the contact pressure, which is thereby exerted on the connecting cable 32, this is strain relieved. That when pulling on the fully assembled antenna 1 on the connection cable 32, no damage to the antenna 1 or its components contained.
  • the cover 20 (see FIGS. 4A . 4B and 5 ) is positively and / or non-positively connected to the base plate 2 and surrounds the radiator 4, the holding device 10 and the holding and / or receiving device 12 and prevents the penetration of moisture.
  • the base plate 2 has a limiting web 35 or corresponding projections.
  • the boundary web 35 or the projections are preferably designed circumferentially closed extend closed around and the radiator 4, the holding device 10 and the holding and / or receiving device 12 around.
  • the boundary web 35 engages in a corresponding receiving groove of the cover 20, as in the cross section FIG. 5 is shown.
  • the limiting web 35 is preferably part of the base plate 2.
  • the limiting web 35 and the base plate 2 are therefore preferably in one piece, more preferably produced in a common casting process.
  • a sealing compound is preferably embedded, whereby the penetration of moisture into the antenna 1 is avoided.
  • the boundary web 35 could consist of a rubber or other sealant.
  • the cover 20 is preferably additionally bolted to the base plate 2.
  • the cover 20 is made of a material that is permeable to electromagnetic waves. It is preferably exactly one cover 20 used.
  • the cover 20 is further preferably non-contact with the radiator 4, the holding device 10 and holding and / or receiving device 12 is arranged.
  • the omnidirectional antenna 1 can be arranged on a rail vehicle or other means of transport. Preferably, however, this is mounted on a locomotive, so that a reliable communication with this or the operator is possible.
  • the holding device 10 is preferably selected from its diameter and / or its electrical resistance such that the holding device 10 can serve as a fuse. This is important when a catenary triggers its anchorage and falls onto the broadband antenna 1.
  • the base plate 2 is of its mounting holes, which are used for fastening or cable supply, so chosen that these mounting holes have a distance from each other, which is identical to the mounting holes of older base plates of other broadband antennas.
  • the hole pattern is therefore identical to older antennas. In this case, an exchange is easily possible.
