  In the conventional antenna device 100, in order to protect the functional components that receive radio waves from rain and dust, these receiving functional components are housed in the antenna case 110, and the antenna base 120 is fixed to the antenna case 110 with screws 146. ing. In order to prevent rainwater and the like from entering the antenna case 110 from the gap between the antenna case 110 and the antenna base 120, a peripheral wall portion 110d that functions as a waterproof rib is provided at the lower portion of the antenna case 110. A base pad 124 is sandwiched between the peripheral wall portion 110d and the antenna base 120 to form a watertight structure, and the internal functional components are protected. The antenna base 120 is a strength member that holds the functional component and the antenna case 110 and also serves as a ground electrode of the amplifier board 134. The ground of the amplifier board 134 is connected to the vehicle body via the bolt portion 121 and the nut 147 of the antenna base 120. Is electrically connected.

  The sensitivity of the conventional antenna device 100 is determined by the distance between the top portion 131 and the opposing electrical ground plane. It is known that the greater the distance, the better the sensitivity and the greater the area of the top portion 131. For this reason, in order to ensure reception performance, it is necessary to dispose the top portion 131 at a high position or widen the width to increase the area. However, in order to fix the antenna base 120 to the antenna case 110 with the screws 146, a plurality of bosses 110b for forming the screw holes 110c are formed inside the antenna case 110. Since the boss 110b is formed to bulge inwardly, the width of the top portion 131 is restricted in order to avoid interference between the boss 110b and the top portion 131. Therefore, three slits are formed on the side portion of the top portion 131 to narrow the width of the side portion of the top portion 131 at a position facing the boss 110b. Further, the external projection of the automobile is regulated to be 70 mm or less by law, and the top portion whose height is lowered when the antenna device 100 is miniaturized in order to maintain a certain distance or more between the top portion 131 and the grounding surface. A part of 131 was cut away. For this reason, there is a problem that the shape of the top portion 131 is complicated.

Further, the shape of the base pad 124 is a shape shown in FIG. 48 that bypasses the boss 110b of the antenna case 110 so as to maintain a waterproof structure, and is a complicated shape. Further, the antenna case 110 has a complicated structure due to the boss 110b, the peripheral wall portion 110d, and the reinforcing ribs thereof. Since it is necessary to take a large internal space for accommodating the top portion 131 in order to improve reception sensitivity, the antenna case 110 is designed to have a small thickness. I can't. For this reason, there has been a problem in that when the antenna case 110 is molded, a portion having a complicated structure with a different thickness is likely to cause a large shrinkage deformation, and the appearance is often distorted.
Furthermore, since the maximum height of the antenna device 100 is set to a limit height for improving reception sensitivity, the thickness of the antenna base 120 facing the top portion 131 is made thin for further improvement of sensitivity. Becomes effective. However, the antenna base 120 is a strength member that also serves as a ground electrode, and it is necessary to sandwich the base pad 124 between the antenna case 110 and the antenna case 110 with a large axial force in order to prevent water from entering the antenna case 110. There is a problem that it cannot be thinned and becomes large.

When the antenna base 120 becomes large, the base pad 124 that covers a portion of the antenna base 120 exposed to the outside air in order to prevent corrosion due to rainwater or the like also becomes large. For this reason, the roof of a vehicle having a thin plate thickness and low rigidity is pressed by the large base pad 124, and the roof is liable to be distorted by the pressing force, thereby deteriorating the appearance design and reducing the waterproof function. There was a problem of doing.
In Patent Document 2 and Patent Document 3, since the short-axis coil antenna element and the coil element are connected to the planar antenna element and the capacitor plate so as to hang, the reception performance may not be stabilized due to vibration or the like. It was.
Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an antenna device that can solve the above-described problems.

  In order to achieve the above object, an antenna device according to the present invention includes an insulating antenna case having a lower surface opened and a storage space formed therein, an antenna base on which the antenna case is fitted, and the antenna An insulative element holder provided upright on the base, an umbrella-type element installed so as to be positioned at the upper center of the element holder and at substantially the center of the left and right, and amplifying the reception signal of the umbrella-type element A coil having an amplifier and resonating the umbrella-shaped element inserted between the amplifier board placed on the antenna base, the umbrella-shaped element, and the input end of the amplifier at a predetermined frequency. The main feature is that the coil is fixed to the element holder.

In the antenna device of the present invention, the lower surface of the antenna case has a waterproof structure by fitting the antenna base. For this reason, a large base pad for a waterproof structure can be eliminated, and the antenna base does not need to be clamped with a large axial force, so the antenna base should be a metal strength member It can be configured with an insulating base. Further, when the antenna device is attached to the vehicle, the roof is not distorted, and it is possible to prevent the appearance design from being damaged and the waterproof function from being deteriorated. Furthermore, it is not necessary to provide a boss for forming a screw hole for fixing the antenna base with a screw in the antenna case. As a result, the antenna case can be made to have a substantially uniform thin thickness, so that shrinkage deformation at the time of molding hardly occurs and it is possible to prevent the occurrence of sink marks that distort the appearance. Moreover, since the boss is not provided in the antenna case, the configuration of the umbrella-type element can be simplified.
Furthermore, by installing the umbrella-shaped element so as to be positioned at the upper center of the element holder and at substantially the center of the left and right, and fixing the coil that resonates the umbrella-shaped element to a predetermined frequency, the reception performance is maintained at the same level. Thus, the width of the umbrella-shaped element can be narrowed, and the design width can be improved by narrowing the width of the upper portion of the antenna case.
