Definitions

  • the invention relates to a roof antenna for mounting on a vehicle roof of a vehicle according to the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • Roof antennas for mounting on a vehicle roof of a vehicle are known in principle.
  • Such roof antennas have a bottom plate which is connected to the vehicle roof via fastening means.
  • antenna elements for different frequency ranges are arranged, these antenna elements are arranged on a circuit board, which in turn is fixed to the bottom plate.
  • an intermediate hood also called protective hood
  • this preassembled unit which is usually manufactured by an antenna manufacturer and supplied to a vehicle manufacturer, has been mounted on the vehicle roof, there is still the installation of another hood, which is also referred to as outer hood or design hood.
  • This hood has the task to consider the design of the vehicle in terms of their external shape, their surface structure and their color, etc., and to protect the mounted roof antenna from external influences, especially from mechanical or other influences (such as water or the like). In such arrangements, it is basically the goal that a roof antenna can not only be installed quickly and easily, but also meets the requirements for long-term durability and stability.
  • a first solution has become known in that the bottom plate is provided after mounting the antenna elements with the intermediate hood and this preassembled unit is mounted on the vehicle roof. Subsequently, the overcap is slipped over this structure and glued to the lower peripheral edge on the vehicle roof.
  • the problem here are in particular the shape tolerances of the vehicle body and a difficult installation, since an adhesive bond always requires a certain amount of time to fully cure and must be pressed during this time by hand or with elaborate devices, and a complex preparation (cleaning) of the adhesive surface requires , In addition, it is no longer possible after complete curing of the adhesive bond to change the position of the hood with respect to the vehicle roof. Furthermore, a difficult disassembly is given when e.g. a damaged outer hood or an otherwise defective roof antenna to be replaced. In addition, the bonded outer hoods for a secure and tight bonding a wide adhesive edge and therefore require a large footprint.
  • a bottom plate is provided with antenna elements, wherein the bottom plate is surrounded by the antenna elements of an intermediate hood, wherein the intermediate hood is latchingly secured to the bottom plate.
  • the attachment points of the hood on the intermediate hood consist in this solution of an open pivot and a spring hook, which are arranged at opposite end points of the roof antenna. To mount the hood this must be applied obliquely and introduced into the open hinge, which is operated after the pivoting of the hood in the direction of the vehicle roof of the spring hook, so that the over hood detent comes to the intermediate hood to the plant. In this solution, however, the bonding of the lower peripheral edge of the hood with the vehicle roof is maintained (see Figure 4, reference numeral 14 of DE 20 2004 004 740 U1 ).
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to improve a roof antenna with an intermediate hood and a hood to the effect that the hood fixed quickly and easily and long-term stability of the intermediate hood is, the connection is detachable again and can be dispensed with an adhesive bond between the hood and the vehicle roof.
  • a seal is provided in the region of the bearing surface of the peripheral lower edge of the hood, further being provided at a central, that is, at only one point fastening means with which the hood is releasably attachable to the intermediate hood, wherein further the sealing effect of the seal is achieved after fixing the hood on the intermediate hood by means of the fastening means.
  • the assembly is simplified because the Bewesf Trentsmittel need only be operated at the central location, or directly operated when placing the hood on the intermediate hood.
  • Another major advantage is the fact that an adhesive bond between the bonnet and the vehicle roof is omitted, since after assembly and fixing the bonnet on the vehicle roof in the area of the bearing surface of the peripheral lower edge of the bonnet a seal is provided, the sealing effect automatically then is achieved when the bonnet is fixed in its desired position on the intermediate hood by means of the fastening means.
  • the seal when the hood is fixed by means of a preferably latching or screwed attachment to the intermediate hood, the seal also achieves its effect, both the penetration of water, dirt and the like of unwanted media through the gap between the hood and the body as well in the space between the hood and the intermediate hood is prevented.
  • the sealing effect is achieved by an existing on the intermediate hood or on the bottom plate of the roof antenna circumferential seal on the hood, especially at the circumferential lower edge, comes to rest and thus the overcap seals against the vehicle roof and the intermediate hood, so that the inner region of the roof antenna and the area between the hoods is protected from external influences.
  • the seal is designed cuff-shaped, whereby the sealing effect when placing the hood with low contact pressure can be achieved.
  • the sealing effect can also be achieved by the circumferential seal is attached to the hood itself and comes to the intermediate hood or a portion of the bottom plate to the plant. Furthermore, the seal can be made as a separate part, which is mounted after mounting the antenna on the body and before installing the hood.
  • screw connections or latching connections are preferably considered, although other connections are not excluded, for example, in the event that the hood and the intermediate hood are made of plastic, a bond, a weld (For example, by ultrasonic welding) or the like in the region of the central attachment point into consideration, these connection techniques compared to a screw or a locking connection represent only the second best solution.
  • the embodiments together may be the structure of the roof antenna 1, wherein other structures are conceivable.
  • the roof antenna 1 is mounted on a vehicle roof 2 and has a bottom plate 3, arranged on the circuit board 4 and z. B. is fastened with screws.
  • On the circuit board 4 at least one antenna element, in particular a plurality of antenna elements 5-7 are arranged for different frequency ranges.
  • the area of the antenna elements 5 to 7 and the printed circuit board 4 is covered by an intermediate hood 8 in a manner known per se, the intermediate hood 8 being fastened to the base plate 3 by means of a latching connection, a screw connection or the like.
  • Such a unit is typically manufactured by an antenna manufacturer and delivered to a vehicle manufacturer for assembly.
  • a seal 12 is provided, which comes in this embodiment not only at the peripheral lower edge of the hood 9 after its attachment to the intermediate hood 8 to the plant, but is also located between the bottom of the bottom plate 3 and the top of the vehicle roof 2, with this single seal 12 (there may also be multiple seals), so will both protects the interior of the roof antenna 1 against external influences, as well as prevents the outer influences (in particular moisture or water) can penetrate into the interior of the vehicle via the unspecified numbered opening in the vehicle roof 2. It can be seen in Figure 1, and should be clearly shown that the effect of the seal 12 is then achieved and is best when the overcap 9 has been set via the central attachment point 8 on the intermediate hood 8 in its desired position.
  • the single and thus central attachment point B is formed by an inwardly facing locking pin 14, wherein the locking pin 14 is locked there after insertion into the channel 13 when the overcap 9 with respect to the intermediate cover 8 and after actuation of the seal 12 their desired position has reached. That is, the diametrical design of the channel 13 and the locking pin 14, in particular their lengths are chosen so that the locking takes place when not only the overcap 9 has reached its desired position with respect to the intermediate 8, but also the sealing effect of the seal 12 is optimal.
  • a deformation of the peripheral lower edge of the hood 9 can take over the sealing effect, including this, for example, a tapering in the direction of the vehicle roof 2 cross section, so that the lower peripheral edge of the hood 9 to the surface of the vehicle roof. 2 can cling to.
  • the nestling of the lower peripheral edge can be further facilitated by manufacturing the hood in a 2-component plastic injection technique, in which this area is made in a softer material than the rest of the hood.
  • FIG. 1 A concrete embodiment of the latching connection of the central attachment point B can be seen in FIG.
  • the latching pin 14 at its end an outwardly facing latching lug 16, said latching lug 16 corresponds with an inwardly facing latching lug 17 of the channel 13.
  • an inner channel 15 is provided in the interior of the latching pin 14.
  • the overcap 9 is thus placed on the preassembled roof antenna 1 and pressed in the vertical direction.
  • projections and / or depressions may also be provided, which are also in Subsections are arranged.
  • the locking lug 16 can be maintained and the channel 13 in place of the outwardly facing locking lug 17 have a recess (groove) into which engages the latching lug 16.
  • a seal 18 (for example an O-ring) is arranged in the upper region of the channel 13 or of the latching pin 14, between the overcap 9 and intermediate hood 8, in order to prevent the ingress of water or moisture at this point.
  • the seal 18 may, but need not, be present.
  • FIG. 3 shows the method of disassembly of the hood 9.
  • the overcap 9 is provided with a small elongated hole in the region of the attachment point B, whereby either the inner channel 15 is first generated, or made available in the existing inner channel 15 of this. If the inner channel 15 is accessible, a pulling tool 19 can be inserted through this. By a 90 ° rotation, the tool 19 is brought under the wall of the hood 9 in engagement and by pulling the tool 19, the hood 9 can now be removed against the latching force of the locking means 16, 17 of the roof antenna 1, in particular the intermediate hood 8 again , The overcap 9 can be closed again after reassembly by means of a small plug and the drilling site can be repaired with a paint pen. Thus, the hood 9 can be used again if necessary.
  • the drawing tool may be formed in another advantageous embodiment at the lower end like a plastic screw, which end is screwed into the plastic material of the hood and allows the pulling of the hood from the latch.
  • Figure 4 shows the execution of mutually verkrallenden locking lugs 16, 17, in which the locking geometry is designed so that disassembly only by pulling force, as in the embodiment of Figure 3, is no longer possible. This results in an absolutely secure retention of the hood 9 on the roof antenna.
  • a special tool for unlocking the latching 16, 17 is provided, said tool 19 having at its end a thickening, which is also guided through the inner channel 15 into the end region of the channel 13 of the intermediate hood 8, so that the channel 13 in the end, in which a gap 20 is located, is pushed so far that the latching lugs 16, 17 lift off each other and the overcap 9, more precisely their locking pin 14, can be pulled out of the channel 13 (Figure 5).
  • the channel 13 may for this purpose have one or more vertical slots, through which the pressing of the channel is facilitated.
  • Figures 6 and 7 show the attachment of the hood 9 by means of the central attachment point B on the intermediate hood 8 with a screw connection.
  • the bottom plate 3 on an upwardly projecting collar 21, on which a connecting piece 22 is fixed in the direction of the central attachment point B.
  • bottom plate 3 and connector 22 may also be integrally formed.
  • the base plate 3 is made of metal (eg die-cast) and the connecting piece 22 is made of plastic in order not to impair the transmission and reception properties of the antenna elements.
  • both the intermediate hood 8 and the overcap 9 have mutually corresponding abutment regions 23, 24, which in this embodiment are pot-shaped or basket-like.
  • pot-like contact areas 23, 24 have the advantage that a screw 25 can be arranged below the surface of the hood 9 as a fastening means, so that the outer appearance of the roof antenna 1 is not disturbed by the screw 25.
  • the screw is screwed into the connecting piece 22 and can be designed, for example, as a self-tapping screw 25 (see FIG. In this embodiment according to FIG.
  • the overcap 9 is guided in the region of the central attachment point B, inserted into the abutment region 23 of the intermediate hood 8, axially in the direction of the vehicle roof 2, and the two hoods 8, 9 detachably connected to one another by the screw 25 that not only the two hoods 8, 9 are fastened together by the operation of the screw 25, but also the seal 12 is actuated by the peripheral lower edge of the hood 9, so that the optimum sealing effect of the seal 12 is achieved when the investment areas 23, 24 have come to full investment.
  • To limit travel also serves the axial height of the connecting piece 22, which is also chosen so that the optimum sealing effect is achieved when the contact area 24 of the hood 9 has come on the front side of the connecting piece 22 to the plant.
