Description

  The present invention relates to a wireless terminal that can withstand use in a high temperature environment.

  In recent years, various wireless terminals such as wireless sensors and RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) that exchange information with external devices in a non-contact manner using radio waves have become widespread. Such wireless terminals are used in various environments such as a high-temperature environment as they become smaller and become more widely used.

  By the way, a normal electronic circuit provided in a wireless terminal or the like has a heat resistance performance of about 55 ° C., and thus has a problem that reliability is inferior when used in a higher temperature environment. Therefore, conventionally, various methods have been adopted in wireless terminals in order to protect electronic circuits (wireless communication circuits) from high temperature environments.

  For example, in the techniques described in Patent Documents 1 to 3, a non-metallic heat-resistant resin or the like enclosing a wireless communication circuit and an antenna element (radiation conductor element) connected to the wireless communication circuit by wiring such as a cable. Since the wireless terminal is provided with the heat insulating portion, the wireless communication circuit is protected from a high temperature environment.

  However, when the antenna element is included in the heat insulating portion as in the techniques described in Patent Documents 1 to 3 above, the radio wave is a boundary between media having different dielectric constants during wireless communication with an external device via the antenna element. Since it passes through the surface, there is a problem that it is attenuated by reflection and scattering occurring at this boundary surface. In addition, in the techniques described in Patent Documents 1 to 3, it is conceivable that the antenna element is provided outside the heat insulating portion so as not to attenuate the radio wave. However, the heat received by the antenna element is Since the signal is transmitted to the wireless communication circuit via the wiring connecting the wireless communication circuit, the temperature of the wireless communication circuit rises, and as a result, there is a problem that the reliability of the wireless communication circuit is inferior.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a wireless terminal that can withstand use in a high-temperature environment and does not cause radio wave attenuation.

And an antenna element that is provided outside the heat insulating housing and transmits / receives the signal of the wireless communication by electromagnetic coupling to the wireless communication circuit, and the wireless communication circuit has an inner peripheral surface of the heat insulating housing A microstrip line that is in contact with the antenna element and electromagnetically coupled to the antenna element; and a wireless communication circuit main body that is disposed in the inner space in a non-contact state with the inner peripheral surface of the heat insulating casing and the microstrip line; And a wire for electrically connecting the wireless communication circuit body and the microstrip line, and the wireless communication circuit body transmits the wireless communication signal via the wire. And outputs to the micro strip line.

  According to said structure, it can suppress that environmental temperature is transmitted to a radio | wireless communication circuit by a heat insulation housing | casing. In addition, since the antenna element is provided outside the heat insulating casing, radio waves are not attenuated by the heat insulating casing (heat insulating portion) as in the conventional case, and a larger area can be secured, so that antenna efficiency is improved. Furthermore, since the antenna element and the wireless communication circuit transmit and receive wireless communication signals by electromagnetic coupling, they are not connected by wiring such as cables and are in a non-contact state and are thermally blocked. Heat received by the antenna element is not transmitted to the wireless communication circuit.

  In the wireless terminal of the present invention, a reflective layer that reflects radiant heat may be provided outside the heat insulating casing, and the antenna element may be configured of the reflective layer. According to said structure, when the high temperature thing which radiates radiant heat is arrange | positioned near the radio | wireless terminal, it can interrupt | block with a reflection layer that the radiant heat from this high temperature substance is transmitted to a radio | wireless communication circuit. Moreover, since the antenna element is formed of a reflective layer, wireless communication is not hindered by the reflective layer.

Further, in the wireless terminal of the present invention, the antenna element has an insulating protective layer capable of transmitting a radio wave of a use frequency, and radiant heat disposed between the protective layer and the outer peripheral surface of the heat insulating casing. a conductive reflection material layer which reflects may have. According to the above configuration, the durability of the antenna element is enhanced by the protective layer. The protective layer is capable of insulating transmit radio waves using the frequency, the operating frequency of the signal (current) is excited at the surface of the protective layer side of且one reflection material layer, the skin effect in the antenna element The impact can be mitigated. As a result, a wireless terminal with low conductor loss and high antenna efficiency can be obtained.

In the wireless terminal of the present invention, wherein the outer peripheral surface of the heat insulating housing is disposed between the reflection material layer further comprises a good-conductor layer having higher conductivity than the reflection material layer the reflection material layer may be thinner than the skin depth to use frequency. According to the above structure, since the reflection material layer is thinner than the skin depth for the use frequency, the high frequency current will be mainly excited in the surface of the protective layer side of the electrically good conductor layer. Accordingly, even when the reflection material layer consists of a low conductivity material, it is possible to reduce the antenna efficiency of the conductor loss is a high radio terminal.

  In the wireless terminal of the present invention, a spacer that supports the antenna element is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the heat insulating housing, and the heat insulating space is formed by the outer peripheral surface of the heat insulating housing, the antenna element, and the spacer. May be formed. According to said structure, since the heat insulation space by an air layer is formed between the heat insulation housing | casing and the antenna element, it can suppress more that environmental temperature is transmitted to a radio | wireless communication circuit.

[First embodiment]
Hereinafter, a first embodiment in which a wireless terminal of the present invention is applied to a wireless terminal for transmission will be described with reference to FIGS.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the wireless terminal 1 according to the present embodiment includes a wireless communication circuit 2, a heat insulating housing 3, and an antenna element 4.

(Insulated housing)
The heat insulating housing 3 is a dielectric sealed container made of a heat insulating material having a low thermal conductivity. Here, as the material of the heat insulating casing 3, general heat insulating materials can be used, and the kind thereof is not particularly limited, but as an example, calcium silicate-based Nichias Co., Ltd. Lumi board, ceramic-based Ryoden Kasei ( Examples include Myolex, heat-resistant glass epoxy, and Ibi wool manufactured by Ibiden, a ceramic fiber type. As shown in FIG. 1, the heat insulating housing 3 has a rectangular or cubic shape, and an internal space 6 is formed therein.

  The internal space 6 may be filled with the same heat insulating material as that of the heat insulating housing 3 or a heat insulating material different from that of the heat insulating housing 3 from the viewpoint of improving heat insulating properties for the wireless communication circuit 2. It may be filled. Moreover, the heat insulation housing | casing 3 will not be limited to a rectangular shape or a cube shape, if it is a shape which maintains a predetermined mounting attitude | position. For example, a cylindrical shape in which an upper surface and a lower surface are sealed may be used, or a polyhedral shape such as a hexahedron may be used. Moreover, it is preferable that the heat insulation housing | casing 3 is a shape provided with the planar mounting surface which can be mounted in support surfaces, such as the ground and a desk, and the upper surface which opposes a mounting surface. In this case, the heat insulating housing 3 can be easily installed such that the upper surface and the lower surface are horizontal with respect to the vertical direction.

  The thickness of the heat insulating housing 3 is determined in consideration of the degree of electromagnetic coupling between an antenna element 4 and a signal line 23 (wireless communication circuit 2), which will be described later, the heat insulating property with respect to the wireless communication circuit 2, and the like.

(Wireless communication circuit)
The wireless communication circuit 2 is disposed in the internal space 6 of the heat insulating housing 3. In other words, the wireless communication circuit 2 is included in the heat insulating casing 3. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the ambient temperature outside the heat insulating housing 3 from being transmitted to the wireless communication circuit 2 by the heat insulating housing 3.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the wireless communication circuit 2 includes a wireless communication circuit body 20, a microstrip line 25, and wiring 24 that electrically connects the wireless communication circuit body 20 and the microstrip line 25.

(Wireless communication circuit body)
The radio communication circuit body 20 modulates information (data), which is a radio communication signal input from each component circuit (not shown), with a carrier wave (high frequency signal) of a predetermined frequency, 24 is an electronic circuit that supplies power (outputs) to the microstrip line 25 via 24.

(Microstrip line)
The microstrip line 25 includes a dielectric substrate 22, a ground conductor 21 that is a ground conductor formed on one entire surface of the dielectric substrate 22, and a signal line 23 formed on the other surface of the dielectric substrate 22. ing.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the dielectric substrate 22 is fixed in contact with the upper surface of the inner peripheral surface 3a (inner peripheral surface) of the heat insulating housing 3 that is a dielectric. Thereby, the signal line 23 is disposed between the dielectric substrate 22 and the heat insulating casing 3 (contact surface). As shown in FIG. 1, the signal line 23 is formed from one end to the other end in the X direction of the dielectric substrate 22 in the drawing. The length of the signal line 23 is longer than the length of one side of the antenna element 4.

  A power supply wiring 24 a (24) for power supply is electrically connected to the signal line 23, and a ground wiring 24 b (24) for grounding is electrically connected to the ground conductor 21. The length of the power supply wiring 24 a (24) is such that the wireless communication circuit main body 20 when the wireless communication circuit main body 20 is arranged at the center of the heat insulating housing 3 in order to slow the heat transfer to the wireless communication circuit main body 20. To the signal line 23 should be longer. Similarly, the length of the ground wiring 24b (24) is the length from the radio communication circuit main body 20 to the ground conductor 21 when the radio communication circuit main body 20 is arranged at the center of the heat insulating casing 3 (internal space 6). Longer than this is better. When the heat insulating casing 3 is installed with the upper surface of the inner peripheral surface 3a positioned upward, the power supply wiring 24a (24) and the ground wiring 24b (24) suspend the radio communication circuit body 20 in the heat insulating casing 3. By suspending, the wireless communication circuit main body 20 is brought into a non-contact state from the heat insulating housing 3, and the heat insulating property for the wireless communication circuit 2 is exhibited by the heat insulating housing 3 and the internal space 6.

(Antenna element)
The antenna element 4 is a patterned square radiating element conductor (radiating patch), and is formed on the upper surface of the outer peripheral surface 3 b (outer peripheral surface) of the heat insulating housing 3. As described above, since the antenna element 4 is provided outside the heat insulating casing 3, the radio wave radiated from the antenna element 4 is not attenuated by the heat insulating casing 3 (heat insulating portion) as in the related art. Examples of the material of the antenna element 4 include copper and gold (plating). In the present embodiment, the antenna element 4 has a square shape (referred to as a square patch antenna), but is not limited thereto, and may be, for example, a circular shape (referred to as a circular patch antenna).

  The antenna element 4 is disposed so as to be capable of electromagnetic coupling (electromagnetic coupling is possible) so as to transmit / receive (transmit / receive) a signal of wireless communication with the signal line 23 (wireless communication circuit 2). Specifically, the antenna element 4 is arranged so that a part thereof overlaps with the signal line 23 in a top view. In other words, the antenna element 4 and the signal line 23 are in such a positional relationship that when the antenna element 4 is projected in the Z direction in the figure, a portion overlapping the signal line 23 is formed. Furthermore, the antenna element 4 is arranged such that the center position thereof is arranged on the vertical bisector of the signal line 23 and one side of the antenna element 4 is parallel to the signal line 23 when viewed from above. . That is, the antenna element 4 and both ends (open ends) of the signal line 23 are not arranged so as to overlap in a top view.

  As described above, the antenna element 4 and the signal line 23 (wireless communication circuit 2) can be electromagnetically coupled. Therefore, the antenna element 4 and the signal line 23 (wireless communication circuit 2) can transmit / receive (transmit / receive) wireless communication signals by electromagnetic coupling. As a result, the antenna element 4 and the signal line 23 (wireless communication circuit 2) are not connected by wiring such as a cable and are brought into a non-contact state and thermally blocked, so that the antenna element 4 receives Heat is not transmitted to the wireless communication circuit 2.

  The impedance of the signal line 23 can be appropriately set by adjusting the length and width of the signal line 23 (particularly the width of the signal line 23).

(Wireless terminal operation)
Next, the operation of the wireless terminal 1 will be described.

  First, information (data) input from each component circuit (not shown) is modulated by a carrier wave (high frequency signal) having a predetermined frequency in the radio communication circuit body 20. This high frequency signal is fed to the signal line 23 via the feed line 24a. The high-frequency signal is transmitted / received (transmitted / received) by electromagnetic coupling between the signal line 23 and the antenna element 4, and is radiated as a radio wave from the antenna element 4.

(Radiation intensity adjustment method)
Next, a method for adjusting the radiation intensity of the radio wave radiated from the antenna element 4 (wireless terminal 1) will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 2B is a diagram illustrating the radiation characteristics when the center position of the antenna element 4 is positioned on the signal line 23 as illustrated in FIG. 3B, when the center position of the antenna element 4 is shifted from the position on the signal line 23 in the X direction in the drawing as shown in FIG. It is a figure which shows the radiation | emission characteristic in the case where the perpendicular distance of a center position and the signal wire | line 23 is larger than 0). 4 (b), as shown in FIG. 4 (a), the center position of the antenna element 4 is further moved from the position on the signal line 23 in the X direction in FIG. 3 than in FIG. 3 (a). This is a radiation characteristic when the position is shifted (when the vertical distance between the center position of the antenna element 4 and the signal line 23 is made larger than that in FIG. 3A). 2 to 4 are calculated by electromagnetic field analysis.

  2 to 4, the radiation intensity of the radio wave radiated from the antenna element 4 changes the positional relationship in the X direction in the figure with respect to the center position of the antenna element 4 and the position on the signal line 23 (in top view, It can be adjusted by changing the vertical distance between the center position of the antenna element 4 and the signal line 23). That is, a desired radiation intensity can be easily obtained simply by setting the antenna element 4 and the signal line 23 to a predetermined positional relationship.

[Second Embodiment]
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

  The difference between the present embodiment and the wireless terminal of the first embodiment is that a reflective layer that reflects radiant heat is provided outside the heat insulating housing, and the antenna element is configured by a part of the reflective layer. is there. Other configurations are substantially the same as those in the first embodiment.

  When a high-temperature object that radiates radiant heat is disposed near the wireless terminal 1, the radiant heat from the high-temperature object is conducted to the wireless communication circuit 2, thereby causing a problem that the reliability of the wireless communication circuit body 20 is inferior. In general, it is effective to provide a metallic reflective layer in order to block (heat block) this radiant heat. However, when a metallic reflective layer is newly provided outside the wireless terminal 1, the antenna element 4 is covered with the reflective layer, which causes a problem that wireless communication is hindered. The second embodiment of the present invention has been made in view of the above points.

  In the wireless terminal 1 according to the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, a reflective layer 40 that reflects radiant heat is formed on the upper surface of the outer peripheral surface 3 b of the heat insulating housing 3. Part of this reflective layer 40 constitutes an antenna element 41. That is, a part of the reflection layer 40 constituting the antenna element 41 functions as a radiating element conductor. The configuration and arrangement position of the antenna element 41 are substantially the same as those of the antenna element 4 in the first embodiment. Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the reflective layer 40 includes a portion that functions as an antenna element 4 (radiating element conductor) that transmits and receives wireless communication signals to and from the wireless communication circuit 2 by electromagnetic coupling, and other portions. It is partitioned.

  As described above, since the reflective layer 40 that reflects the radiant heat is provided outside the heat insulating casing 3, the radiant heat from the high-temperature object can be obtained even when the high-temperature object that radiates radiant heat is disposed near the wireless terminal 1. Is transmitted to the wireless communication circuit 2 by the reflective layer 40. Further, since the antenna element 41 is configured by a part of the reflective layer 40, the reflective layer 40 does not hinder wireless communication, and stable communication can be performed. In the present embodiment, the antenna element 41 is configured by a part of the reflective layer 40, but may be configured by the entire reflective layer 40.

(First modification of antenna element)
Next, a first modification of the antenna element according to the second embodiment will be described. The antenna element of this modification differs from the antenna element 41 of the second embodiment described above in that it is an insulating protection that can transmit radio waves of the operating frequency (high frequency signal) on the upper surface of the highly reflective material layer that is a radiating element conductor. The point is that it has a layer. About another structure, it is as substantially the same as said 2nd embodiment.

  In order to improve the durability of the wireless terminal, it is effective to provide a protective layer on the upper surface of the radiating element conductor. However, when the protective layer is formed of a conductive material having low conductivity, a high-frequency signal radiated from the radiating element conductor flows on the surface of the protective layer due to the skin effect, so that the antenna efficiency of the wireless terminal 1 is improved. There is a problem of deterioration. This modification has been made in view of the above points.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the antenna element 41 a of this modification includes a conductive highly reflective material layer 43 and insulating protection that is formed on the top surface of the highly reflective material layer 43 and can transmit radio waves of the operating frequency. Layer 42. The highly reflective material layer 43 is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the heat insulating housing 3. That is, the highly reflective material layer 43 is disposed between the protective layer 42 and the outer peripheral surface 3 b of the heat insulating housing 3. The protective layer 42 is not particularly limited as long as it is an insulating antioxidant film, and examples thereof include a fluorine-based coating and a glass-based coating.

  As described above, the protective layer formed on the upper surface of the highly reflective material layer 43 serving as the radiating element conductor is insulative to transmit radio waves of the operating frequency, and on the surface of the highly reflective material layer 43 on the protective layer 42 side. Since the signal (current) at the operating frequency is excited, the influence of the skin effect on the antenna element 41a can be reduced. As a result, the wireless terminal 1 with low conductor loss and high antenna efficiency can be obtained.

(Second modification of antenna element)
Next, a second modification of the antenna element according to the second embodiment will be described. The antenna element 41b of this modification differs from the antenna element 41a of the first modification in that the highly reflective material layer is made thinner than the skin depth of the operating frequency, and this highly reflective material layer and the outer peripheral surface of the heat insulating housing Between these, a good conductor layer having a higher conductivity than the highly reflective material layer is disposed. About another structure, it is substantially the same as that of the said 1st modification.

  The skin depth δ is a distance (length in the thickness direction) at which the electromagnetic field incident on the conductive material attenuates to 1 / e, and is expressed by the following equation.

δ = 1 / √ (πfμσ)
In the above equation, f is the frequency of the high-frequency signal, μ is the magnetic permeability of the conductive material, and σ is the conductivity of the conductive material.

  Aluminum can reflect radiant heat more highly than copper or gold (plating), but has a low electrical conductivity. Therefore, when aluminum is used as the material of the highly reflective material layer 43, the radiant heat can be highly reflected compared with the case where copper or gold (plating) is used as the material of the highly reflective material layer 43. Although the heat insulation with respect to the circuit main body 20 can be improved, since the electrical conductivity is low, the conductor loss is increased and the antenna efficiency is deteriorated. This modification is made in view of the above points.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the antenna element 41 b of this modification has a higher conductivity than the highly reflective material layer 43 disposed between the outer peripheral surface 3 b of the heat insulating housing 3 and the highly reflective material layer 43. A conductor layer 44 is provided. Specifically, the good conductor layer 44 is formed on the upper surface of the outer peripheral surface 3 b of the heat insulating housing 3, and the highly reflective material layer 43 is formed on the upper surface of the good conductor layer 44. The good conductor layer 44 is made of a material having high conductivity such as copper or gold (plating), and the thickness thereof is thicker than the skin depth of the operating frequency.

  The highly reflective material layer 43 is made of a material that highly reflects radiant heat, such as aluminum, and has a thickness equal to or less than the skin depth of the operating frequency.

  Thus, since the highly reflective material layer 43 is thinner than the skin depth with respect to the operating frequency, the high-frequency current is mainly excited on the surface of the good conductor layer 44 on the protective layer 42 side. Thereby, even when the highly reflective material layer 43 is made of a material with low conductivity, the wireless terminal 1 with low conductor loss and high antenna efficiency can be obtained.

[Third embodiment]
Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

  The difference between the present embodiment and the wireless terminal of the first and second embodiments is that a spacer for supporting the antenna element is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the heat insulating housing, and the outer peripheral surface of the heat insulating housing, the antenna element, And the heat insulation space is formed of the spacer. In addition, about another structure, it is substantially the same as said 1st and 2nd embodiment.

  In the wireless terminal 1 according to the third embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, a spacer 7 that supports the end of the reflective layer 40 (antenna element 41) is provided on the outer peripheral surface 3 b of the heat insulating housing 3. Here, as the material of the spacer 7, any heat insulating material can be used, and therefore, the same material as that of the heat insulating housing 3 can be used. Further, the material may be selected in accordance with the heat resistant temperature required for the spacer 7. For example, when the required heat resistant temperature is relatively low, a resin such as Duracon manufactured by Polyplastics Co., Ltd. is used. May be selected as a material for the spacer 7. Note that if an insulator having a high dielectric constant is used as the spacer 7, it is preferable to use an insulator having a low dielectric constant as the spacer 7. However, it is possible to correct the antenna characteristics by designing the antenna.

  A heat insulating space 8 surrounded by the outer peripheral surface of the heat insulating housing 3, the spacer 7, and the reflective layer 40 (antenna element 41) is formed. The heat insulating space 8 is filled with air or is evacuated. That is, a heat insulating layer is formed in the heat insulating space 8 by air or vacuum.

  Thus, since the heat insulation space is formed between the heat insulation housing | casing 3 and the antenna element 41, it can suppress more that environmental temperature is transmitted to the radio | wireless communication circuit 2. FIG.

  The embodiments of the present invention have been described above, but only specific examples are illustrated, and the present invention is not particularly limited. Specific configurations and the like can be appropriately changed in design. In addition, the actions and effects described in the embodiments of the present invention only list the most preferable actions and effects resulting from the present invention, and the actions and effects according to the present invention are described in the embodiments of the present invention. It is not limited to things.

  For example, in the embodiment of the present invention, the wireless terminal 1 is mainly described as a transmitting terminal. However, due to the antenna reversible principle, the wireless terminal 1 can act as a receiving terminal without changing any characteristics. Of course.

  Further, in the embodiment of the present invention, the antenna element 4 and the both ends (open ends) of the signal line 23 are not arranged so as to overlap in the top view, but one of the open ends of the signal line 23 is connected to the antenna element 4. You may arrange | position so that it may overlap in a top view.
