It functions as a blindfold in the gap.
 アンテナ素子の例示である容量エレメント3は、ステンレス等の金属板(導体板)を加工して形成され、少なくとも一部に面状部3bを備える。容量エレメント3は、例えば傘型(断面形状がコの字型、U字型、あるいはV字型等)に形成され、外装ケース1とアンテナベース10との間の空間内の上部に設けられる。容量エレメント3は、インナーケース6への係止用の所定数の係止穴3bと、インナーケース6への固定用のネジ3dを通すためのネジ止め用貫通穴3cとを有する。 The capacitive element 3 which is an example of the antenna element is formed by processing a metal plate (conductor plate) such as stainless steel, and includes a planar portion 3b at least partially. The capacitive element 3 is formed in, for example, an umbrella shape (a cross-sectional shape is a U shape, a U shape, a V shape, or the like), and is provided at an upper portion in a space between the exterior case 1 and the antenna base 10. The capacitive element 3 has a predetermined number of locking holes 3 b for locking to the inner case 6 and screw fixing through holes 3 c for passing screws 3 d for fixing to the inner case 6.
 インナーケース6は、電波透過性の合成樹脂製(ABS樹脂等の樹脂製の成型品)であり、容量エレメント3の面状部3aに沿う形状の容量エレメント支持部6aに容量エレメント3を支持し、また内部には図5に示すようにアンテナ素子の例示であるコイルエレメント13を支持する。容量エレメント3及びコイルエレメント13により、AM/FM放送の受信が可能となる。インナーケース6は、容量エレメント3の係止穴3bと係合して容量エレメント3を係止するための所定数の係止凸部6bを有する。インナーケース6には、容量エレメント3とコイルエレメント13との電気的接続を行う導体パイプ(金属パイプ)6cが、インサート成形や圧入等により設けられる。導体パイプ6cの内周面には雌ネジが形成される。導電性材料からなるネジ3dは、容量エレメント3のネジ止め用貫通穴3cを貫通して導体パイプ6cに上方から螺合し、容量エレメント3をインナーケース6に固定する。防水パッキン6i(図5)は、エラストマーやゴム等の環状の弾性部材であり、容量エレメント3とインナーケース6との結合部を水密封止する。導電性材料からなるネジ13cは、コイルエレメント13のアッパーターミナル13aを貫通して導体パイプ6cに下方から螺合し、アッパーターミナル13aをインナーケース6に固定する。これにより、コイルエレメント13のアッパーターミナル13a、導体パイプ6c、及び容量エレメント3が相互に導通する。 The inner case 6 is made of a radio wave-transmitting synthetic resin (molded product made of ABS resin or the like), and supports the capacitive element 3 on the capacitive element support portion 6 a having a shape along the planar portion 3 a of the capacitive element 3. In addition, a coil element 13 which is an example of an antenna element is supported inside as shown in FIG. The capacitive element 3 and the coil element 13 enable AM / FM broadcast reception. The inner case 6 has a predetermined number of locking protrusions 6 b for engaging with the locking holes 3 b of the capacitive element 3 to lock the capacitive element 3. The inner case 6 is provided with a conductor pipe (metal pipe) 6c for electrical connection between the capacitive element 3 and the coil element 13 by insert molding or press fitting. A female screw is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the conductor pipe 6c. The screw 3d made of a conductive material passes through the screwing through hole 3c of the capacitive element 3 and is screwed into the conductor pipe 6c from above to fix the capacitive element 3 to the inner case 6. The waterproof packing 6i (FIG. 5) is an annular elastic member such as an elastomer or rubber, and watertightly seals a joint portion between the capacitive element 3 and the inner case 6. The screw 13c made of a conductive material passes through the upper terminal 13a of the coil element 13 and is screwed into the conductor pipe 6c from below, thereby fixing the upper terminal 13a to the inner case 6. Thereby, the upper terminal 13a of the coil element 13, the conductor pipe 6c, and the capacitive element 3 are electrically connected to each other.
 インナーケース6は、第1の機能追加用開口部6dと、一対の係止穴6eと、ガイド凸部6f,6gとを有する。第1の機能追加用開口部6dには、発光モジュール等の付加ユニットを取付け可能であるが、本参考例は機能追加を行わないため防水蓋4を第1の機能追加用開口部6dに取り付ける。防水蓋4は、電波透過性の合成樹脂製(PCやPET等の樹脂製の成型品)であり、第1の機能追加用開口部6dへの取付用の一対のスナップフィット4aと、第1の機能追加用開口部6dへの取付時のガイドとなるガイド用凹部4b,4cとを有する。インナーケース6の一対の係止穴6eは、第1の機能追加用開口部6dの左右両側にそれぞれ設けられ、防水蓋4の一対のスナップフィット4aと係合して防水蓋4を係止する。インナーケース6のガイド凸部6f,6gは、防水蓋4のガイド用凹部4b,4cと係合し、防水蓋4の取付時のガイドとして機能するとともに、防水蓋4のがたつきを防止する。第2の水密封止材の例示である防水パッキン5は、エラストマーやゴム等で形成された環状の弾性部材であり、第1の機能追加用開口部6dの内面の段差部6j上に位置して防水蓋4の開口部6dに入り込んだ部分の外側面と第1の機能追加用開口部6dの内側面とに押圧され、防水蓋4と第1の機能追加用開口部6dとの間を水密封止する。すなわち、防水蓋4と防水パッキン5が第1の機能追加用開口部6dを水密に塞ぐ。 The inner case 6 includes a first function addition opening 6d, a pair of locking holes 6e, and guide protrusions 6f and 6g. Although an additional unit such as a light emitting module can be attached to the first function addition opening 6d, the waterproof cover 4 is attached to the first function addition opening 6d in this reference example because no function addition is performed. . The waterproof lid 4 is made of radio wave-transmitting synthetic resin (molded product made of resin such as PC or PET), and has a pair of snap fits 4a for attachment to the first function addition opening 6d, Guide recesses 4b and 4c that serve as guides for attachment to the function addition opening 6d. The pair of locking holes 6e of the inner case 6 are provided on the left and right sides of the first function addition opening 6d, respectively, and engage with the pair of snap fits 4a of the waterproof lid 4 to lock the waterproof lid 4. . The guide protrusions 6f and 6g of the inner case 6 engage with the guide recesses 4b and 4c of the waterproof lid 4, function as a guide when the waterproof lid 4 is attached, and prevent the waterproof lid 4 from rattling. . The waterproof packing 5, which is an example of the second watertight sealing material, is an annular elastic member formed of an elastomer, rubber or the like, and is positioned on the step portion 6j on the inner surface of the first function addition opening 6d. Is pressed by the outer side surface of the portion of the waterproof lid 4 that has entered the opening 6d and the inner side surface of the first function addition opening 6d, and between the waterproof lid 4 and the first function addition opening 6d. Seal watertight. That is, the waterproof lid 4 and the waterproof packing 5 watertightly seal the first function adding opening 6d.
 インナーケース6は、第2の機能追加用開口部6h(図2)を有する。第2の機能追加用開口部6hには、防水栓(防水グロメット)7が取り付けられる。防水栓7は、第2の機能追加用開口部6hと嵌合する凹部7aを外周面に有し、第2の機能追加用開口部6hを水密封止する。防水栓7は、カメラモジュール等の付加ユニットを設ける場合には、付加ユニットのケーブルを、薄肉部7bを破って貫通させることができる。これについては参考例2(図19~図23)で説明する。防水栓7は、把手部7c(図5)を有し、インナーケース6の内側から把手部7cを引っ張ることで第2の機能追加用開口部6hに取り付けられる。 The inner case 6 has a second function addition opening 6h (FIG. 2). A waterproof plug (waterproof grommet) 7 is attached to the second function addition opening 6h. The waterproof plug 7 has a concave portion 7a fitted to the second function addition opening 6h on the outer peripheral surface, and watertightly seals the second function addition opening 6h. When the waterproof plug 7 is provided with an additional unit such as a camera module, the cable of the additional unit can be penetrated by breaking the thin portion 7b. This will be described in Reference Example 2 (FIGS. 19 to 23). The waterproof plug 7 has a handle 7c (FIG. 5), and is attached to the second function addition opening 6h by pulling the handle 7c from the inner side of the inner case 6.
 第1の水密封止材としての防水パッド8は、エラストマーやゴム等の環状の弾性部材であり、アンテナベース10上に設けられる。防水パッド8は、図5に示すように、アンテナベース10にネジ止め等で固定されたインナーケース6の下端部によって全周に渡って押圧され、アンテナベース10とインナーケース6との間を水密封止する。前述のようにインナーケース6の第1の機能追加用開口部6d及び第2の機能追加用開口部6hは水密封止され、また後述のようにアンテナベース10と車体との間はシール部材15によって水密封止されるため、アンテナベース10とインナーケース6との間には、水密な空間が形成される。 The waterproof pad 8 as the first watertight sealing material is an annular elastic member such as an elastomer or rubber, and is provided on the antenna base 10. As shown in FIG. 5, the waterproof pad 8 is pressed over the entire circumference by the lower end portion of the inner case 6 fixed to the antenna base 10 with screws or the like, so that water is not formed between the antenna base 10 and the inner case 6. Seal tightly. As described above, the first function addition opening 6d and the second function addition opening 6h of the inner case 6 are watertightly sealed, and the seal member 15 is provided between the antenna base 10 and the vehicle body as described later. Therefore, a watertight space is formed between the antenna base 10 and the inner case 6.
 アンテナ基板9は、アンテナベース10上にネジ止め等により固定され、アンテナベース10とインナーケース6との間の空間に位置する。アンテナ基板9上には、コイルエレメント13のロアターミナル13bを挟み込む一対の導体板バネ(ターミナル)9aと、一対の追加機能用電極9bとが設けられる。追加機能用電極9bは、第1の機能追加用開口部6dに付加ユニットを取り付ける場合には、付加ユニットの端子部との電気的接続に用いることができる。これについては実施の形態1(図9~図14)で説明する。 The antenna substrate 9 is fixed on the antenna base 10 by screws or the like, and is located in a space between the antenna base 10 and the inner case 6. On the antenna substrate 9, a pair of conductor leaf springs (terminals) 9a sandwiching the lower terminal 13b of the coil element 13 and a pair of additional function electrodes 9b are provided. The additional function electrode 9b can be used for electrical connection with the terminal portion of the additional unit when the additional unit is attached to the first function adding opening 6d. This will be described in Embodiment 1 (FIGS. 9 to 14).
 アンテナベース10は、例えばアルミ等の金属製ベース及びPBT等の樹脂製ベースの組合せ体(複合体)である。アンテナベース10は、外装ケース1の係止爪1aと係合して外装ケース1を係止する所定数の係止爪10aを外周部に有する。図5に示すように、アンテナ基板9に接続されたケーブル14は、アンテナベース10の開口を通ってアンテナベース10の下方に延びる。車体取付用ネジ11は、図5に示すワッシャー12を介してアンテナベース10に螺合し、本アンテナ装置を車両のルーフ等に固定する。アンテナベース10の下面には、エラストマーやゴム等の環状の弾性部材からなるシール部材15が設けられる。シール部材15は、アンテナベース10と車体との間を水密封止する。 The antenna base 10 is a combination (composite) of a metal base such as aluminum and a resin base such as PBT. The antenna base 10 has a predetermined number of locking claws 10 a that engage with the locking claws 1 a of the outer case 1 to lock the outer case 1 on the outer peripheral portion. As shown in FIG. 5, the cable 14 connected to the antenna substrate 9 extends below the antenna base 10 through the opening of the antenna base 10. The vehicle body mounting screw 11 is screwed into the antenna base 10 via a washer 12 shown in FIG. 5 to fix the antenna device to a vehicle roof or the like. A seal member 15 made of an annular elastic member such as an elastomer or rubber is provided on the lower surface of the antenna base 10. The seal member 15 provides a watertight seal between the antenna base 10 and the vehicle body.
 本参考例のアンテナ装置の組立の流れを説明する。まず、インナーケース6の第1の機能追加用開口部6dに、防水パッキン5を挟んで防水蓋4を取り付ける。このとき、防水蓋4の一対のスナップフィット4aを、第1の機能追加用開口部6dの両側に設けられた一対の係止穴6eに係合させる。また、インナーケース6の第2の機能追加用開口部6hに防水栓7を取り付ける。また、インナーケース6の容量エレメント支持部6a上に容量エレメント3を配置して容量エレメント3の係止穴3bとインナーケース6の係止凸部6bとを係合させ、ネジ3dをネジ止め用貫通孔3cを介して導体パイプ6cに上方から螺合させることにより容量エレメント3をインナーケース6に固定する。また、ネジ13cを導体パイプ6cに下方から螺合させることにより、コイルエレメント13のアッパーターミナル13aをインナーケース6に固定する。以上の手順は、どのような順序で行っても構わない。 The flow of assembling the antenna device of this reference example will be described. First, the waterproof lid 4 is attached to the first function adding opening 6d of the inner case 6 with the waterproof packing 5 interposed therebetween. At this time, the pair of snap fits 4a of the waterproof lid 4 is engaged with a pair of locking holes 6e provided on both sides of the first function addition opening 6d. Further, the waterproof plug 7 is attached to the second function addition opening 6 h of the inner case 6. Further, the capacitive element 3 is arranged on the capacitive element support portion 6a of the inner case 6, the engaging hole 3b of the capacitive element 3 and the engaging convex portion 6b of the inner case 6 are engaged, and the screw 3d is screwed. The capacitive element 3 is fixed to the inner case 6 by being screwed into the conductor pipe 6c from above through the through hole 3c. Further, the upper terminal 13a of the coil element 13 is fixed to the inner case 6 by screwing the screw 13c into the conductor pipe 6c from below. The above procedure may be performed in any order.
 一方、アンテナベース10には、アンテナ基板9をネジ止め等により固定すると共に、防水パッド8を配置しておく。そして、コイルエレメント13のロアターミナル13bがアンテナ基板9の一対の導体板バネ9aに挟まれるようにインナーケース6をアンテナベース10上にセットし、インナーケース6をアンテナベース10にネジ止め等により固定する。このとき、インナーケース6の下端部が防水パッド8を全周に渡って押圧する。最後に、隙間埋めパッド2を嵌入した外装ケース1をアンテナベース10に装着する。このとき、外装ケース1の係止爪1aとアンテナベース10の係止爪10aを互いに係合させる。こうして組み立てられたアンテナ装置は、図5に示す車体取付用ネジ11とワッシャー12により、シール部材15を挟んで車両のルーフ等に取り付けられる。 On the other hand, the antenna base 9 is fixed to the antenna base 10 by screws or the like, and a waterproof pad 8 is disposed. Then, the inner case 6 is set on the antenna base 10 so that the lower terminal 13b of the coil element 13 is sandwiched between the pair of conductor plate springs 9a of the antenna substrate 9, and the inner case 6 is fixed to the antenna base 10 by screws or the like. To do. At this time, the lower end portion of the inner case 6 presses the waterproof pad 8 over the entire circumference. Finally, the exterior case 1 in which the gap pad 2 is inserted is attached to the antenna base 10. At this time, the locking claw 1a of the outer case 1 and the locking claw 10a of the antenna base 10 are engaged with each other. The antenna device assembled in this way is attached to a vehicle roof or the like with a seal member 15 sandwiched between a vehicle body mounting screw 11 and a washer 12 shown in FIG.
 本参考例によれば、下記の効果を奏することができる。 According to this reference example, the following effects can be achieved.
(1) インナーケース6とアンテナベース10との間に水密空間を形成してアンテナ基板9を配置するため、外装ケース1は防水構造に拘束されない自由なデザインが可能となる。そのため、デザインの変更をする場合には、外装ケース1のみ設計を変更して他の部品は共通にすることができ、デザイン変更に要する手間とコストを削減できる。 (1) Since the antenna substrate 9 is arranged by forming a watertight space between the inner case 6 and the antenna base 10, the exterior case 1 can be freely designed without being restricted by the waterproof structure. Therefore, when changing the design, it is possible to change the design of only the outer case 1 to make other parts common, and the labor and cost required for the design change can be reduced.
(2) インナーケース6に第1の機能追加用開口部6dを設け、防水蓋4に替えて発光モジュール等の付加ユニットを取付可能としているため、インナーケース6及びアンテナベース10の設計を変えずに付加ユニットの有無を変更できる。すなわち、付加ユニット(追加機能)の有無を変更してもインナーケース6及びアンテナベース10は共通でよく全体に渡る設計変更が不要なため、付加ユニットの有無が異なる製品を展開する場合の設計の手間とコストを削減できる。なお、付加ユニットの有無によってインナーケース6又はアンテナベース10若干の設計変更が入る場合もあり得るが、大部分は共通でよいため、そうした場合も設計の手間とコストを削減できる。 (2) Since the first function addition opening 6d is provided in the inner case 6 and an additional unit such as a light emitting module can be attached instead of the waterproof lid 4, the design of the inner case 6 and the antenna base 10 is not changed. The presence or absence of additional units can be changed. That is, the inner case 6 and the antenna base 10 may be common even if the presence / absence of the additional unit (additional function) is changed, and the design change is not necessary for the entire design. Save time and money. The inner case 6 or the antenna base 10 may have a slight design change depending on the presence or absence of the additional unit. However, since most of the design may be common, the design effort and cost can be reduced even in such a case.
(3) インナーケース6に第2の機能追加用開口部6hを設け、第2の機能追加用開口部6hを水密に塞ぐ防水栓7にカメラモジュール等の付加ユニットのケーブルを通せるようにしているため、第1の機能追加用開口部6dを設けたことと同様に設計の手間とコストを削減できる。 (3) The inner case 6 is provided with a second function addition opening 6h so that the cable of an additional unit such as a camera module can be passed through the waterproof plug 7 that tightly closes the second function addition opening 6h. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the design effort and cost as in the case of providing the first function addition opening 6d.

 本実施の形態のアンテナ装置は、図1等に示した参考例1のものと比較して、外装ケース1が光遮断体16及び光透過体17を組み合わせた外装ケース1Aに替わり、防水蓋4が付加ユニットとしての発光モジュール18に替わった点で相違し、その他の点で一致する。容量エレメント3、インナーケース6、防水パッド8、アンテナ基板9、アンテナベース10、及びコイルエレメント13(以下「インナーケース組」とも表記)の構成、並びにそれらの組立は参考例1と共通であり、ここでは説明を省略する。また、防水栓7は、参考例1と同構成であり同様にインナーケース6の第2の機能追加用開口部6hに取り付けられる。 In the antenna device according to the present embodiment, the outer case 1 is replaced with an outer case 1A in which the light blocking body 16 and the light transmitting body 17 are combined, as compared with the reference example 1 shown in FIG. Is different from that of the light emitting module 18 as an additional unit, and other points are the same. The configuration of the capacitive element 3, the inner case 6, the waterproof pad 8, the antenna substrate 9, the antenna base 10, and the coil element 13 (hereinafter also referred to as “inner case set”) and their assembly are the same as in Reference Example 1. The description is omitted here. The waterproof plug 7 has the same configuration as that of the reference example 1, and is similarly attached to the second function addition opening 6h of the inner case 6.
 外装ケース1Aの光遮断体16は天面部に開口部16aを有し、光透過部としての光透過体17が開口部16aに嵌合ないし接着等により取り付け固定される。光遮断体16及び光透過体17は、電波透過性の合成樹脂製(PCやPET等の樹脂製の成型品)であり、相互に組み合わされた状態で両側面が内側に湾曲したシャークフィン形状を成す。光遮断体16が光を透過しないのに対し、光透過体17は光を透過する。容量エレメント3の面状部3aの少なくとも一部が光透過体17と対向する。面状部3aの少なくとも光透過体17と対向する部分(面)は、好ましくは研磨やメッキ(例えばクロムメッキ)等により光沢処理されて光沢度を高めている。光遮断体16は、参考例1の外装ケース1と同様に、隙間埋めパッド2(図1)を嵌入した状態でアンテナベース10に係止爪同士の係合により取り付けられる(係止される)。 The light blocking body 16 of the exterior case 1A has an opening 16a on the top surface portion, and a light transmitting body 17 as a light transmitting portion is attached and fixed to the opening 16a by fitting or bonding. The light blocking body 16 and the light transmitting body 17 are made of a radio wave-transmitting synthetic resin (molded product made of a resin such as PC or PET), and shark fin shapes in which both side surfaces are curved inward when combined with each other. Is made. The light blocking body 16 does not transmit light, whereas the light transmitting body 17 transmits light. At least a part of the planar portion 3 a of the capacitive element 3 faces the light transmitting body 17. At least a portion (surface) facing the light transmitting body 17 of the planar portion 3a is preferably gloss-treated by polishing, plating (for example, chrome plating) or the like to increase the glossiness. Similar to the outer case 1 of Reference Example 1, the light blocking body 16 is attached (locked) to the antenna base 10 by engagement of the locking claws with the gap filling pad 2 (FIG. 1) inserted. .
 発光モジュール18は、導光部としての導光体19及び発光ユニット20を組み合わせたものである。導光体19は、高屈折率かつ電波透過性の合成樹脂製(PC等の樹脂製の成型品)であり、取付ベース部19aと、導光路形成部19bとを含む。取付ベース部19aは、インナーケース6の第1の機能追加用開口部6dへの取付構造に関して図1に示す防水蓋4と同様の構成を有する。取付ベース部19aと第1の機能追加用開口部6dとの間は、防水パッキン5によって水密封止される。取付ベース部19aは、容量エレメント3の前方に設けられる第1の機能追加開口部6dに取り付けられ、機能追加開口部6bから立設して容量エレメント3の前方且つ近傍まで延びる。導光路形成部19bは、取付ベース部19aの上端から、容量エレメント3の面状部3aに沿うように、光透過体17の内側、すなわち面状部3aと光透過体17との相互対向面間に延びる。導光路形成部19bの容量エレメント3側の面には、所定数のV字状の溝(乱反射用パターン)19cが設けられる。溝19cは、LED20aから離れるほど(後端側に向かうほど)隣接する溝の間隔が高密度に設けられる。 The light emitting module 18 is a combination of a light guide 19 as a light guide and a light emitting unit 20. The light guide 19 is made of a synthetic resin (resin molded product such as PC) having a high refractive index and radio wave transmission, and includes an attachment base portion 19a and a light guide path forming portion 19b. The attachment base portion 19a has a configuration similar to that of the waterproof lid 4 shown in FIG. 1 with respect to a structure for attaching the inner case 6 to the first function addition opening 6d. The waterproof packing 5 seals the space between the mounting base portion 19a and the first function addition opening 6d. The attachment base portion 19a is attached to a first function addition opening 6d provided in front of the capacitive element 3, and extends from the function addition opening 6b to the front and the vicinity of the capacitance element 3. The light guide path forming portion 19b is located on the inner side of the light transmitting body 17, that is, the mutually facing surfaces of the planar portion 3a and the light transmitting body 17 along the planar portion 3a of the capacitive element 3 from the upper end of the mounting base portion 19a. Extend between. A predetermined number of V-shaped grooves (patterns for irregular reflection) 19c are provided on the surface of the light guide path forming portion 19b on the capacitive element 3 side. As the groove 19c is farther away from the LED 20a (toward the rear end side), the gap between adjacent grooves is provided with higher density.
 発光ユニット20は、発光素子としてのLED20aと、給電端子部20b(図11及び図12)と、LED20a及び給電端子部20bを支持する支持体20cとを含む。支持体20cは、電波透過性の合成樹脂製(PCやPET等の樹脂製の成型品)であり、圧入等により導光体19に取り付け固定される。支持体20cは、LED20aを駆動するための定電流回路や静電耐圧を持たせるための回路を内蔵する。LED20aは、支持体20cの上端部に支持されて容量エレメント3の前方且つ近傍(側方)に位置し、後方斜め上方向の導光路形成部19bの延設方向に光を照射する。LED20aは、アンテナ性能が悪化しないように、容量エレメント3のLED20aに最も近い下端の高さと同一か、または、若干低い位置に配置される。給電端子部20bは、支持体20cの下端部に支持され、アンテナ基板9の追加機能用電極9b(図1、図2及び図13)に接触して電気的に接続される。 The light emitting unit 20 includes an LED 20a as a light emitting element, a power supply terminal portion 20b (FIGS. 11 and 12), and a support 20c that supports the LED 20a and the power supply terminal portion 20b. The support 20c is made of a radio wave permeable synthetic resin (resin molded product such as PC or PET), and is attached and fixed to the light guide 19 by press fitting or the like. The support 20c incorporates a constant current circuit for driving the LED 20a and a circuit for giving an electrostatic withstand voltage. The LED 20a is supported by the upper end portion of the support 20c, is positioned in front of and in the vicinity (side) of the capacitive element 3, and irradiates light in the extending direction of the light guide path forming portion 19b in the rearward and upward direction. The LED 20a is arranged at a position that is the same as or slightly lower than the height of the lower end closest to the LED 20a of the capacitive element 3 so that the antenna performance does not deteriorate. The power supply terminal portion 20b is supported by the lower end portion of the support 20c, and is in contact with and electrically connected to the additional function electrode 9b (FIGS. 1, 2, and 13) of the antenna substrate 9.
 図14に示すように、LED20aの発した光は、全反射を繰り返しながら導光路形成部19b内を伝搬し、導光路形成部19bの容量エレメント3側の面に設けられた溝19cによって反射されると、導光路形成部19bの光透過体17側の面に全反射の角度を超える急角度で入射し、光透過体17側に飛び出す。このため、導光路形成部19bの表面は発光して見えることになる。溝19cは、LED20aから離れるほど(後端部に向かうほど)隣接する溝の間隔が高密度に設けられており、これによって、LED20aから離れて照度が低くなる部分における反射率を高めている。また、導光路形成部19bから容量エレメント3側に飛び出した光は、容量エレメント3によって反射されて導光路形成部19bに戻り、最終的には光透過体17側に飛び出すため、導光路形成部19bを効率的に明るくすることができる。 As shown in FIG. 14, the light emitted from the LED 20a propagates through the light guide path forming portion 19b while repeating total reflection, and is reflected by the groove 19c provided on the surface of the light guide path forming portion 19b on the capacitive element 3 side. Then, it enters the surface of the light guide path forming portion 19b on the light transmitting body 17 side at a steep angle exceeding the angle of total reflection, and jumps out to the light transmitting body 17 side. For this reason, the surface of the light guide path forming portion 19b appears to emit light. The groove 19c is provided with a higher density of adjacent grooves as it is farther from the LED 20a (toward the rear end), thereby increasing the reflectance at a portion where the illuminance is lower away from the LED 20a. Further, the light that has jumped out from the light guide path forming portion 19b to the capacitive element 3 side is reflected by the capacitive element 3, returns to the light guide path forming portion 19b, and finally jumps out to the light transmitting body 17 side. 19b can be brightened efficiently.
 本実施の形態によれば、下記の効果を奏することができる。 According to this embodiment, the following effects can be achieved.
(1) LED20aが発した光を導光体19によって光透過体17に導く構成であり、導光体19を挟んで光透過体17の反対側には金属製の容量エレメント3の面状部3aが位置して反射体として機能するため、従来と比較して高効率での発光が可能なアンテナ装置となる。 (1) The light emitted from the LED 20a is guided to the light transmissive body 17 by the light guide 19 and the planar portion of the metal capacitive element 3 is disposed on the opposite side of the light transmissive body 17 with the light guide 19 interposed therebetween. Since 3a is located and functions as a reflector, the antenna device is capable of light emission with higher efficiency than conventional.
(2) 容量エレメント3の面状部3aを反射体として機能させるため、別途金属製の反射体を配置する場合と異なり、発光効率改善のためにアンテナ性能が悪化するリスクが低い。 (2) Since the planar portion 3a of the capacitative element 3 functions as a reflector, unlike the case where a separate metal reflector is disposed, there is a low risk that the antenna performance is deteriorated for improving the light emission efficiency.
(3) 容量エレメント3を外装ケース内の上部に配置し、LED20aを容量エレメント3の側方に配置しているため、LED20aを配置したことによるアンテナ性能の悪化を抑制しながらアンテナ装置の上部を効率的に明るくすることができる。 (3) Since the capacitive element 3 is arranged in the upper part of the outer case and the LED 20a is arranged on the side of the capacitive element 3, the upper part of the antenna device is suppressed while suppressing the deterioration of the antenna performance due to the arrangement of the LED 20a. It can be brightened efficiently.
(4) 発光機能を有さない参考例1のアンテナ装置と共通のインナーケース組を用いて発光機能を有するアンテナ装置を実現できる。 (4) An antenna device having a light emitting function can be realized by using a common inner case set with the antenna device of Reference Example 1 having no light emitting function.

 本実施の形態のアンテナ装置は、図1等に示した参考例1のものと比較して、外装ケース1が光遮断体23及び一対の光透過体24を組み合わせた外装ケース1Bに替わり、防水蓋4が付加ユニットとしての発光モジュール25に替わった点で相違し、その他の点で一致する。インナーケース組の構成及びそれらの組立は参考例1と共通であり、ここでは説明を省略する。また、防水栓7は、参考例1と同構成であり同様にインナーケース6の第2の機能追加用開口部6hに取り付けられる。実施の形態1では外装ケースの天面部を発光させたのに対し、本実施の形態では外装ケースの両側面の一部をそれぞれ発光させる。 In the antenna device according to the present embodiment, the outer case 1 is replaced with an outer case 1B in which a light blocking body 23 and a pair of light transmitting bodies 24 are combined, as compared with the reference example 1 shown in FIG. The difference is that the lid 4 is replaced with a light emitting module 25 as an additional unit, and the other points are the same. The configuration of the inner case group and the assembly thereof are the same as those in Reference Example 1, and a description thereof is omitted here. The waterproof plug 7 has the same configuration as that of the reference example 1, and is similarly attached to the second function addition opening 6h of the inner case 6. In the first embodiment, the top surface portion of the outer case is caused to emit light, whereas in this embodiment, part of both side surfaces of the outer case is caused to emit light.
 外装ケース1Bの光遮断体23は、両側面部にそれぞれ開口部23aを有し(図には片方の開口部23aのみ現れる)、光透過部としての光透過体24が開口部23aに嵌合ないし接着等により取り付け固定される。光遮断体23及び光透過体24は、電波透過性の合成樹脂製(PCやPET等の樹脂製の成型品)であり、相互に組み合わされた状態で両側面が内側に湾曲したシャークフィン形状を成す。光遮断体23が光を透過しないのに対し、光透過体24は光を透過する。光遮断体23は、参考例1の外装ケース1と同様に、隙間埋めパッド2(図1)を嵌入した状態でアンテナベース10に係止爪同士の係合により取り付けられる(係止される)。 The light blocking body 23 of the outer case 1B has openings 23a on both side surfaces (only one opening 23a appears in the figure), and the light transmitting body 24 as a light transmitting portion is not fitted into the opening 23a. It is attached and fixed by bonding or the like. The light blocking body 23 and the light transmitting body 24 are made of a radio wave transmitting synthetic resin (molded product made of a resin such as PC or PET), and have a shark fin shape in which both side surfaces are curved inward in a combined state. Is made. The light blocking body 23 does not transmit light, whereas the light transmitting body 24 transmits light. Similarly to the exterior case 1 of the reference example 1, the light blocking body 23 is attached (locked) to the antenna base 10 by engagement of the locking claws with the gap filling pad 2 (FIG. 1) inserted. .
 発光モジュール25は、導光部としての導光体26及び発光ユニット27を組み合わせたものである。導光体26は、高屈折率かつ電波透過性の合成樹脂製(PC等の樹脂製の成型品)であり、取付ベース部26aと、一対の導光路形成部26bとを含む。取付ベース部26aは、インナーケース6の第1の機能追加用開口部6dへの取付構造に関して図1に示す防水蓋4と同様の構成を有する。取付ベース部26aと第1の機能追加用開口部6dとの間は、防水パッキン5によって水密封止される。取付ベース部26aは、容量エレメント3の前方に設けられる第1の機能追加開口部6dに取り付けられ、機能追加開口部6bから立設して容量エレメント3の前方且つ近傍まで延びる。一対の導光路形成部26bは、取付ベース部26aの上部左右からそれぞれ、容量エレメント3の面状部3a及びインナーケース6の両側面に沿うように、光透過体24の内側、すなわち面状部3aと光透過体24との相互対向面間にそれぞれ延びる。 The light emitting module 25 is a combination of a light guide 26 and a light emitting unit 27 as a light guide. The light guide 26 is made of a high refractive index and radio wave transmitting synthetic resin (molded product made of a resin such as PC), and includes an attachment base portion 26a and a pair of light guide path forming portions 26b. The attachment base portion 26a has the same configuration as the waterproof lid 4 shown in FIG. 1 with respect to the attachment structure of the inner case 6 to the first function addition opening 6d. The waterproof packing 5 seals the space between the mounting base portion 26a and the first function addition opening 6d. The attachment base portion 26a is attached to a first function addition opening 6d provided in front of the capacitive element 3, and extends from the function addition opening 6b to the front and the vicinity of the capacitance element 3. The pair of light guide path forming portions 26b are arranged on the inner side of the light transmitting body 24, that is, the planar portions along the planar portions 3a of the capacitive element 3 and both side surfaces of the inner case 6 from the upper left and right of the mounting base portion 26a. 3a and the light transmitting body 24 extend between the mutually facing surfaces.
 発光ユニット27は、発光素子としてのLED27aと、不図示の給電端子部(図11及び図12の給電端子部20bと同様)と、LED27a及び前記給電端子部を支持する支持体27cとを含む。支持体27cは、電波透過性の合成樹脂製(PCやPET等の樹脂製の成型品)であり、圧入等により導光体26に取り付け固定される。LED27aは、支持体27cの上端部に支持されて容量エレメント3の前方且つ近傍(側方)に位置し、後方斜め外方向の導光路形成部26bの延設方向に光を照射する。前記給電端子部は、支持体27cの下端部に支持され、アンテナ基板9の追加機能用電極9b(図1及び図2)に接触して電気的に接続される。 The light emitting unit 27 includes an LED 27a as a light emitting element, a power supply terminal portion (not shown) (similar to the power supply terminal portion 20b in FIGS. 11 and 12), and a support 27c that supports the LED 27a and the power supply terminal portion. The support 27c is made of a radio wave-transmitting synthetic resin (resin molded product such as PC or PET), and is attached and fixed to the light guide 26 by press fitting or the like. The LED 27a is supported by the upper end portion of the support 27c, is positioned in front of and in the vicinity (side) of the capacitive element 3, and irradiates light in the extending direction of the light guide path forming portion 26b in the obliquely rearward outward direction. The feeding terminal portion is supported by the lower end portion of the support 27c, and is in contact with and electrically connected to the additional function electrode 9b (FIGS. 1 and 2) of the antenna substrate 9.
 図18に示すように、LED27aの発した光は、全反射を繰り返しながら導光路形成部26b内を伝搬し、伝搬の過程で実施の形態1と同様に順次光透過体24側に飛び出す。このため、導光路形成部26bの表面は発光して見えることになる。本実施の形態も、実施の形態1と同様の効果を奏することができる。 As shown in FIG. 18, the light emitted from the LED 27a propagates through the light guide path forming portion 26b while repeating total reflection, and sequentially jumps out toward the light transmitting body 24 in the same manner as in the first embodiment. For this reason, the surface of the light guide path forming portion 26b appears to emit light. The present embodiment can achieve the same effects as those of the first embodiment.
