Antenne mit Gehäuse aus KunststoffAntenna with plastic housing
Technisches GebietTechnical field
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Antenne für ein Fahrzeug zur Montage auf einer Fahrzeugfläche, insbesondere einem Fahrzeugdach, gemäß den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffes des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to an antenna for a vehicle for mounting on a vehicle surface, in particular a vehicle roof, according to the features of the preamble of patent claim 1.
Stand der TechnikState of the art
Eine solche Antenne für ein Fahrzeug ist aus der DE 295 00 961 U1 bekannt. Diese Antenne weist eine Grundplatte (Grundkörper) aus Metall auf, auf der die erforderlichen Antennenelemente (wie beispielsweise eine Streifenleiterantenne) angeordnet sind. Zum Schutz der auf der Grundplatte angeordneten Antennenelemente sind diese mit einem Antennengehäuse, welches aus einem nicht leitfähigen Material wie Kunststoff besteht, umgeben. Über einen Gewindebolzen an der Grundplatte, der in eine Öffnung der Fahrzeugfläche eingreift, wird die gesamte Antenne auf dieser Fahrzeugfläche fixiert.Such an antenna for a vehicle is known from DE 295 00 961 U1. This antenna has a base plate (base body) made of metal, on which the necessary antenna elements (such as a stripline antenna) are arranged. To protect the antenna elements arranged on the base plate, they are surrounded by an antenna housing, which consists of a non-conductive material such as plastic. The entire antenna is fixed on this vehicle surface via a threaded bolt on the base plate, which engages in an opening in the vehicle surface.
Die Grundplatte der Antenne der DE 295 00 961 U1 ist in eine Aufnahme auf der Unterseite des Antennengehäuses eingepaßt. Zur Befestigung des Antennengehäuses auf der Grundplatte sind vier Löcher in den Ecken der Grundplatte vorgesehen. Durch diese vier Löcher werden Schrauben eingesetzt, die in entsprechende Gewindebohrungen in dem Antennengehäuse eingreifen. Dadurch werden Antennengehäuse und Grundplatte lösbar miteinander verbunden, wobei jedoch keine -zuverlässige Dichtwirkung verbunden ist. Das bedeutet, daß Schmutzpartikel und vor allen Dingen Feuchtigkeit in das Antennengehäuse eindringen können und somit zu Beeinträchtigungen der Funktionsweise der Antenne führen. Ebenso nachteilig ist die Montage und die damit verbundene Teilevielfalt, da zunächst die Grundplatte mit den Bohrungen versehen werden muß und dazu korrespondierend das Antennengehäuse die Gewindeeinsätze aufweisen muß. Anschließend müssen vier Schrauben eingesetzt werden, um die Verbindung zwischen Grundplatte und Antennengehäuse herzustellen. Danach sind noch Maßnahmen zu ergreifen, die die Schrauben in dem Antennengehäuse zuverlässig festsetzen, damit sich diese beim Betrieb des Fahrzeuges nicht durch Vibrationen lösen und das Antennengehäuse verloren geht.The base plate of the antenna of DE 295 00 961 U1 is fitted into a receptacle on the underside of the antenna housing. Four holes are provided in the corners of the base plate for fastening the antenna housing to the base plate. Through these four holes, screws are inserted, which engage in corresponding threaded holes in the antenna housing. As a result, the antenna housing and base plate are detachably connected to one another, but no reliable sealing action is connected. This means that dirt particles and, above all, moisture can penetrate the antenna housing and thus impair the functioning of the antenna. The assembly and the associated variety of parts is also disadvantageous, since the base plate is initially provided with the holes must and correspondingly the antenna housing must have the threaded inserts. Then four screws must be used to establish the connection between the base plate and the antenna housing. After that, measures must be taken that reliably fix the screws in the antenna housing so that they do not come loose due to vibrations during operation of the vehicle and the antenna housing is lost.

Diese Aufgabe ist durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst.To provide installation on a vehicle surface, in particular a vehicle roof, with which the disadvantages described are avoided. This object is achieved by the features of patent claim 1.
Erfindungsgemäß ist vorgesehen, daß der Grundkörper zumindest einen aus Kunststoff bestehenden Teilbereich aufweist, wobei das Gehäuse nach der Montage der Anfen- nenelemente mit dem Teilbereich unlösbar verbunden wird. Dies hat zum einen den • Vorteil, daß sich die Montage vereinfacht und die Teilevielfalt verringert. Die unlösbare Verbindung, bei der es sich beispielsweise um eine Klebeverbindung oder eine Verbindung mittels Ultraschallschweißen handeln kann, kann nach der Montage derAccording to the invention, it is provided that the base body has at least one partial area made of plastic, the housing being non-detachably connected to the partial area after assembly of the front elements. This firstly has the advantage • that the assembly is simplified, reducing the number of parts. The permanent connection, which can be, for example, an adhesive connection or a connection by means of ultrasonic welding, can be installed after the
Antennenelemente automatisiert erfolgen. Da in dem Bereich, in dem das Antennengehäuse mit der Grundplatte verbunden werden soll, die beiden Teile aus dem gleichen Material bestehen oder aus zwei Materialien bestehen, die ohne weiteres miteinander verbindbar sind, ist diese Verbindung schnell und einfach, aber auch kostengünstig herzustellen. Ist die unlösbare Verbindung einmal hergestellt, ist damit auch eine absolute Dichtheit des Innenraumes des Antennengehäuses verbunden, so daß Beeinträchtigungen der Funktion der Antenne wirksam vermieden sind, da nunmehr keine Schmutzpartikel oder Feuchtigkeit in den Innenraum eindringen können.Antenna elements are done automatically. Since in the area in which the antenna housing is to be connected to the base plate, the two parts consist of the same material or consist of two materials that can be easily connected to one another, this connection is quick and easy, but also inexpensive to produce. Once the non-detachable connection has been made, absolute tightness of the interior of the antenna housing is also associated with it, so that impairments to the function of the antenna are effectively avoided since no dirt particles or moisture can now penetrate into the interior.
In Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist das Antennengehäuse im Bereich der Verbindung dem Teilbereich aus Kunststoff der Grundplatte angepaßt. Dadurch kann schon eine Positionierung und Fixierung des Antennengehäuses auf bzw. an der Grundplatte erfolgen, wodurch anschließend ohne weitere Probleme insbesondere automatisiert die unlösbare Verbindung erfolgen kann. In Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist der aus Kunststoff bestehende Teilbereich umlaufend am Rand des aus Metall bestehenden Teilbereiches der Grundplatte angeordnet. Wenn der aus Kunststoff bestehende Teilbereich umlaufend am Rand der Grundplatte angeordnet ist, was insbesondere durch Anspritzen von Kunststoffmateria) ausgeführt werden kann, steht eine größtmögliche Fläche für die Montage der Antennenelemente zur Verfügung. Außerdem ergibt sich ein optisch annehmbares Erscheinungsbild, da das Antennengehäuse mit dem Randbereich der Grundplatte abschließt.In a further development of the invention, the antenna housing in the area of the connection is adapted to the partial area made of plastic of the base plate. As a result, the antenna housing can already be positioned and fixed on or on the base plate, as a result of which the inseparable connection can then be made in a particularly automated manner without further problems. In a further development of the invention, the partial area made of plastic is arranged all around on the edge of the partial area made of metal of the base plate. If the partial area made of plastic is arranged all around on the edge of the base plate, which can be carried out in particular by injection molding of plastic material), the largest possible area is available for mounting the antenna elements. In addition, there is an optically acceptable appearance, since the antenna housing is flush with the edge area of the base plate.
Kurze Beschreibung der ZeichnungBrief description of the drawing
Ein Ausführungsbeispiel, auf das die Erfindung jedoch nicht beschränkt ist, ist im folgenden beschrieben und anhand der Figur erläutert.An exemplary embodiment, to which the invention is not limited, is described below and explained with reference to the figure.
Wege zur Ausführung der ErfindungWays of Carrying Out the Invention
Eine schematisch dargestellte Antenne 1 weist einen Grundkörper 2 auf, wobei der Grundkörper 2 einen Teilbereich 2.1 aus Metall aufweist, der zur Funktionsweise der Antenne 1 unbedingt erforderlich ist. Erfindungsgemäß ist vorgesehen, daß der Grundkörper 2 auch zumindest einen aus Kunststoff bestehenden Teilbereich 2.2 aufweist, der bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel sich umlaufend am Rand des aus Metall bestehenden Teilbereiches 2.1 befindet. Hierbei ist es durchaus denkbar, daß sich beispielsweise der aus Kunststoff bestehende Teilbereich 2.2 auch zumindest teilweise flächig über den aus Metall bestehenden Teilbereich 2.1 erstreckt. Über den Grundkörper 2 wird ein Gehäuse 3 aus Kunststoff aufgesetzt, welches die Antennenelement (gegebenenfalls einschließlich von Elektronikbauteilen, wie z. B. einem Verstärker) umgibt und schützt, die auf dem Grundkörper 2 angeordnet sind. Die Antennenelemente variieren je nach Einsatzzweck der Antenne 1 und sind zwecks Vereinfachung in der Figur nicht dargestellt. Zur Abdichtung des Innenraumes innerhalb des Gehäuses 3 ist nun vorgesehen, daß die aneinander liegenden Bereiche des Gehäuses 3 und des Teilbereiches 2.2 der Grundplatte 2 unlösbar miteinander verbunden werden. Hierzu können die Anlagebereiche des Gehäuses 3 und des Teilbereiches 2.2 einander angepaßt sein, was z. B. in Form eines Absatzes in dem Teilbereich 2.2 in der Figur dargestellt ist. Hier ist auch z. B. denkbar, daß der Teilbereich 2.2 eine umlaufende Nut aufweist, in welche die Unterkante des Gehäuses 3 eingreift. Eine solche Ausgestaltung bietet sich beispielsweise dann an, wenn das Gehäuse 3 mit dem Teilbereich 2.2 verklebt werden soll. Die unlösbare Verbindung zwischen dem Gehäuse 3 und dem Teilbereich 2.2 ist in der Figur mit V gekennzeichnet.A schematically illustrated antenna 1 has a base body 2, the base body 2 having a partial region 2.1 made of metal, which is absolutely necessary for the functioning of the antenna 1. According to the invention, it is provided that the base body 2 also has at least one partial area 2.2 made of plastic, which in the exemplary embodiment is located all around on the edge of the partial area 2.1 made of metal. It is entirely conceivable here that, for example, the section 2.2 made of plastic also extends at least partially over the section 2.1 made of metal. A plastic housing 3 is placed over the base body 2 and surrounds and protects the antenna element (possibly including electronic components, such as an amplifier), which are arranged on the base body 2. The antenna elements vary depending on the intended use of the antenna 1 and are not shown in the figure for the sake of simplicity. To seal the interior inside the housing 3, it is now provided that the areas of the housing 3 and the subarea 2.2 of the base plate 2 which are adjacent to one another are connected to one another in a non-detachable manner. For this purpose, the contact areas of the housing 3 and the sub-area 2.2 can be adapted to one another, which, for. B. is shown in the form of a paragraph in the section 2.2 in the figure. Here is also z. B. conceivable that the sub-area 2.2 has a circumferential groove in which the lower edge of the housing 3 engages. Such a configuration is appropriate, for example, when the housing 3 is glued to the sub-area 2.2 shall be. The non-detachable connection between the housing 3 and the sub-area 2.2 is marked V in the figure.
Zur Vervollständigung des Ausführungsbeispiels ist gezeigt, daß die Antenne 1 auf einer Fahrzeugfläche 4 montiert wird. Diese Fahrzeugfläche 4 weist eine Öffnung 5 (Karosserieloch) auf, in welche ein Vorsprung 6 (mit Gewinde) eingreift, wobei der Vorsprung 6 Bestandteil des Grundkörpers 2 ist. Um die Antenne 1 auf der Fahrzeugfläche 4 zu fixieren, wird beispielsweise über den Vorsprung 6 eine Sechskantmutter 7 geschraubt. Zur Abdichtung der Antenne 1 (bzw. der Grundplatte 2) gegenüber der Fahrzeugfläche 4 bzw. einem darunter liegenden Fahrzeuginnenraum ist noch eine Dichtung 8 vorgesehen, die insbesondere so gestaltet ist, daß die Öffnung 5 nach außen zuverlässig gegen eindringende Schmutzpartikel und eindringende Feuchtigkeit abgedichtet ist. To complete the exemplary embodiment, it is shown that the antenna 1 is mounted on a vehicle surface 4. This vehicle surface 4 has an opening 5 (body hole) into which a projection 6 (with a thread) engages, the projection 6 being part of the base body 2. In order to fix the antenna 1 on the vehicle surface 4, a hexagon nut 7 is screwed onto the projection 6, for example. To seal the antenna 1 (or the base plate 2) against the vehicle surface 4 or an underlying vehicle interior, a seal 8 is also provided, which is designed in particular so that the opening 5 is reliably sealed to the outside against the ingress of dirt particles and ingress of moisture ,
