  • These contacting means are connected via connecting lines, which are arranged in or on the rigid support, with the signal processing unit.
  • the contacting means make contact with contact surfaces of an antenna conductor structure which is located on the vehicle window.
  • an antenna arrangement is known, this antenna arrangement an electrical connection between a signal processing Unit and an antenna conductor structure comprises on a vehicle window, wherein a mounted on or in a housing of the signal processing unit carrier is provided which has at least one contacting means for contacting a arranged in the housing circuit board with the antenna conductor structure.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to provide an electrical connection between a signal processing unit and an antenna conductor structure on or in a vehicle part, in particular a vehicle window, which is easy to install, compensates for tolerances and is easily replaceable in case of damage.
  • the contacting means has an upper part and a lower part, each of which is made of an electrically nonconductive material and which are movable relative to each other under prestress, wherein the upper part has an electrically conductive and constant in its length connection to the lower part, wherein the contacting between the circuit board and the antenna conductor structure via the electrically conductive connection and wherein the upper part and the lower part each have guide arms having at their ends latching hooks, with which the two parts are guided in guide rails on the carrier.
  • a mountable on or in a housing of the signal processing unit carrier which has at least one contacting means for contacting a arranged in the housing circuit board with the antenna conductor structure.
  • the carrier arranged on or in the housing of the signal-processing unit ensures, with its contacting means, the possibility of replacing the carrier in the event of a defect (if, for example, the vehicle window has been damaged in the event of a crash) then to install a new vehicle window, without the signal processing unit itself must be replaced with.
  • the carrier is arranged from the outside in or on the housing, so that it can be replaced from there, without the housing of the signal processing unit must be opened.
  • FIG. 1 shows the arrangement of a signal processing unit, in particular an antenna amplifier, on a part of a body 1 of a vehicle.
  • An antenna conductor structure is present in or on a vehicle part of the vehicle, which is, for example, a vehicle window 2 (in particular front or rear window).
  • the signal processing unit not shown in detail has a housing 3, which is formed in one or more parts and with which the signal processing unit is attached to the part of the body 1 in a suitable manner.
  • a circuit board 4 is arranged, which carries in particular electronic components for signal processing. Also on the circuit board 4 contacting surfaces (copper areas) are arranged over which the electrical connection between the signal processing device and the antenna conductor structure to be produced.
  • contacting surfaces on the printed circuit board 4 correspond with their arrangement also with arranged on the vehicle window 2 contacting surfaces, for the purpose of making the electrical connection between these contacting surfaces according to the invention
  • contacting means 5 are arranged, which in turn are arranged on a support 6, in turn, in or on the housing 3 is arranged.
  • this contacting means 5 the electrical connection between the antenna conductor structure on the vehicle window 2 and the components on the circuit board 4 is made.
  • the following assembly steps are conceivable: First, the housing 3 is attached to the signal processing unit to the part of the body 1 and then the carrier 6 is inserted with the contacting means in the housing 3. Alternatively, only the signal processing unit can be made and the carrier 6 are inserted into the housing 3, after which this unit is then attached to Tell the body 1.
  • the longitudinal extent of the contacting means 5 has the maximum possible distance between the contacting surface on the circuit board 4 and the associated contacting surface on the vehicle window 2, but in a particularly advantageous manner has a greater extent than the maximum possible distance between the two Contacting surfaces, but then a reduction of the longitudinal extent of the contacting means 5 after assembly must be possible on the then existing distance of the contacting surfaces. This is done in a particularly advantageous manner when the contacting means 5 is under a bias voltage.
  • the contacting means 5 before mounting the vehicle window 2 has a greater longitudinal extent than after installation of the vehicle window 2, the distance between the contacting surface on the circuit board 4 and the associated contacting surface on the vehicle window 2 is. That is, the contacting means 5 in FIG. 1 is shown in the unmounted state of the vehicle window 2 and is compressed after its assembly.
  • FIG. 2 shows a carrier 6 for more than one contacting means 5, wherein four contacting means 5 are shown here by way of example.
  • the carrier 6 may be made, for example, of plastic or any other non-conductive material, in particular in Injection molding process can be produced.
  • the electrical connection is made by an electrically conductive band 7, this band 7 around a biasing element (see the details FIG. 3 ) is laid around and is brought together and fixed to a pin 8.
  • a recess is present in the carrier 6.
  • the support 6 has guide means, in particular guide rails 10, which are produced in particular simultaneously with the production of the support 6.
  • FIG. 3 shows the components of the biasing element, which already in the assembled state in FIG. 2 is shown.
  • this biasing member consists of an upper part 11 and a lower part 12, which are individually made of plastic or other non-conductive material, in particular by injection molding.
  • the upper part 11 and the lower part 12 are identical parts.
  • the upper part 11 in turn has guide arms 13, at the ends of latching hooks 14 are present.
  • a coil spring 18 is arranged to produce the required for the contacting bias coaxially within the upper part 11 and the lower part 12.
  • FIG. 4 shows in section the embodiment of a contacting means 5 according to FIG. 2 .
  • the biasing member inserted into the guide rail 10 is due to the presence of the coil spring 18 under a bias and thus, in particular by the limitation of the belt 7, the maximum possible longitudinal extent is given.
  • this biasing element now between the Contact surfaces placed on the circuit board 4 and the vehicle window 2 it is compressed, so that on the one hand tolerances are compensated and on the other hand, the required contact force is given.
  • a contacting means 5 is a detachable connection, which is readily replaceable.
  • FIG. 5 shows a further embodiment of a contacting means 5, wherein the construction is the same with respect to the carrier 6 and its biasing element applied therein.
