Die Erfindung betrifft eine Kraftfahrzeug-Antenne.The invention relates to a motor vehicle antenna.
In jüngster Zeit kommen in Kraftfahrzeugen Antennen zum Empfang und/oder Aussenden von Funksignalen verschiedenster Art in zunehmendem Maß zum Einsatz. Unter Funksignalen werden in diesem Zusammenhang alle zur Nachrichten- und Informationsübertragung dienenden elektromagnetischen Funksignale verstanden. Hierzu gehören insbesondere Rundfunk- und Verkehrsfunksignale, GPS-Signale, Mobilfunksignale usw. Insbesondere bei der Übertragung der zuletzt genannten Signale dient die am Kraftfahrzeug vorgesehene Antenne nicht nur als Empfangs- sondern auch Sendeantenne.Recently, antennas for receiving and/or transmitting radio signals of various types have been increasingly used in motor vehicles. In this context, radio signals are understood to mean all electromagnetic radio signals used to transmit messages and information. These include in particular radio and traffic signals, GPS signals, mobile phone signals, etc. When transmitting the latter signals in particular, the antenna provided on the motor vehicle serves not only as a receiving antenna, but also as a transmitting antenna.
Die für die genannte Zwecke dienenden Antennen werden bisher entweder als Stabantennen mit einem entsprechenden Halter außen auf die Karosserie des Kraftfahrzeuges aufgesetzt oder als Rahmenantennen in die Windschutz- oder Heckscheibe integriert.The antennas used for the aforementioned purposes are currently either mounted as rod antennas with a corresponding holder on the outside of the vehicle body or integrated as frame antennas in the windshield or rear window.
Nachteilig bei allen diesen Anordnungen ist, daß für die betreffende Antenne eine eigene Kabelführung im Kraftfahrzeug erforderlich ist, die bei ihrem Einbau einen zusätzlichen Zeit- und Kostenaufwand erfordert.The disadvantage of all these arrangements is that the antenna in question requires its own cable routing in the vehicle, which requires additional time and expense when installing it.
Somit liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Kraftfahrzeug-Antenne anzugeben, die auf wesentlich einfachere und kostengünstigere Weise eingebaut werden kann.The invention is therefore based on the object of providing a motor vehicle antenna which can be installed in a much simpler and more cost-effective manner.
Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe sieht die Erfindung die im Anspruch 1 zusammengefaßten Merkmale vor.To solve this problem, the invention provides the features summarized in claim 1.
Dadurch, daß die erfindungsgemäße Antenne in eine Kraftfahrzeugleuchte integriert wird, die ohnehin eine Kabelführung zu einer Energiequelle und einem Schalter benötigt, kann die zum Anschluß der Antenne erforderliche Verdrahtung in das zur Ansteuerung der Kraftfahrzeugleuchte dienende Kabel integriert und gemeinsam mit diesem geführt werden. Ein zusätzlicher Verkabelungsaufwand für die Antenne ist somit nicht erforderlich.Because the antenna according to the invention is integrated into a motor vehicle light, which in any case requires a cable to a power source and a switch, the wiring required to connect the antenna can be integrated into the cable used to control the motor vehicle light and routed together with it. Additional wiring for the antenna is therefore not necessary.
Zur Verbesserung der Empfangs- und/oder Sendebedingungen ist vorteilhafter Weise vorgesehen, die Antenne im Außenraum des durch die Kraftfahrzeug-Karosserie definierten Faraday'schen Käfigs anzuordnen Zu diesem Zweck ist es besonders günstig, die Antenne in eine Kraftfahrzeugleuchte zu integrieren, die zum Einbau in das Gehäuse eines Außen-Rückblickspiegels vorgesehen ist. Hierbei handelt es sich insbesondere um Kraftfahrzeugleuchten, die als Seitenblinkleuchten und/oder Vorfeldleuchten dienen.To improve the reception and/or transmission conditions, it is advantageous to arrange the antenna in the outer space of the Faraday cage defined by the vehicle body. For this purpose, it is particularly advantageous to integrate the antenna into a vehicle light that is intended to be installed in the housing of an external rear-view mirror. This particularly applies to vehicle lights that serve as side indicators and/or approach lights.
Dieser Positionierung im Karosserieaußenraum sehr nahe kommt eine weitere bevorzugte Variante, gemäß derer die Antenne in eine hochgesetzte KFZ-Bremsleuchte integriert ist, die entweder am oberen oder am unteren Rand des rückwärtigen Fensterausschnitts des Kraftfahrzeugs angeordnet ist. Im letzteren Fall ist eine Integration der mit einer Antenne ausgestatteten Bremsleuchte in die Hutablage besonders vorteilhaft.Another preferred variant comes very close to this positioning in the exterior of the vehicle body, in which the antenna is integrated into a high-mounted vehicle brake light, which is arranged either at the top or bottom edge of the rear window cutout of the vehicle. In the latter case, integrating the brake light equipped with an antenna into the parcel shelf is particularly advantageous.
Viele Kraftfahrzeugleuchten sind so aufgebaut, daß ihre Lichtquellen, bei denen es sich in zunehmendem Maße um Leuchtdioden handelt, auf einer oder mehreren Leiterplatten angeordnet sind, die nicht nur als mechanischer Träger dienen sondern gleichzeitig auch die für die Energieversorgung der Lichtquellen benötigten Anschlußleitungen bereitstellen. In einem solchen Fall ist es besonders vorteilhaft, die erfindungsgemäße Kraftfahrzeug-Antenne als integralen Bestandteil einer solchen Leiterplatte auszubilden.Many motor vehicle lights are constructed in such a way that their light sources, which are increasingly light-emitting diodes, are arranged on one or more circuit boards, which not only serve as a mechanical support but also provide the connecting lines required to supply energy to the light sources. In such a case, it is particularly advantageous to design the motor vehicle antenna according to the invention as an integral component of such a circuit board.
Ein besonderer Vorteil der erfindungsgemäßen Anordnung ist darin zu sehen, daß sie auch den nachträglichen Einbau einer Kraftfahrzeug-Antenne mit minimalem Aufwand ermöglicht. Beim Stand der Technik muß für einen solchen nachträglichen Einbau das Antennenkabel unter der Innenraumverkleidung auf Wegen durchgezogen werden, die je nach Einbauort der Antenne sehr verschlungen und kompliziert sein können. Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Anordnung ist es demgegenüber bei einer Nachrüstung möglich, das Anschlußkabel der neuen, eine Antenne umfassenden Kraftfahrzeugleuchte so mit dem Kabel der alten, auszubauenden Kraftfahrzeugleuchte zu verbinden, daß es bei dessen Herausziehen automatisch mit eingezogen wird. Das mühevolle Suchen neuer Verlegungswege wird somit vermieden.A particular advantage of the arrangement according to the invention is that it also allows the retrofitting of a motor vehicle antenna with minimal effort. In the prior art, for such a retrofitting, the antenna cable must be pulled under the interior paneling along paths that can be very convoluted and complicated depending on where the antenna is installed. With the arrangement according to the invention, on the other hand, it is possible during retrofitting to connect the connecting cable of the new motor vehicle lamp, which includes an antenna, to the cable of the old motor vehicle lamp that is to be removed in such a way that it is automatically pulled in when the old one is pulled out. The laborious search for new routing paths is thus avoided.
Die Erfindung wird im folgenden anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels unter Bezugnahme auf die Zeichnung beschrieben; in dieser zeigt die einzige Figur in stark schematisierter Weise einen Kraftfahrzeug-Außenspiegel 2, in dessen Gehäuse eine Kraftfahrzeugleuchte 1 integriert ist, die als Seitenblinkleuchte und/oder Vorfeldleuchte dienen kann. Das Gehäuse der Kraftfahrzeugleuchte 1 ist teilweise aufgeschnitten dargestellt, so daß erkennbar wird, daß in sie eine erfindungsgemäße Antenne 3 integriert ist.The invention is described below using an exemplary embodiment with reference to the drawing; in this, the only figure shows in a highly schematic manner a motor vehicle exterior mirror 2, in the housing of which a motor vehicle light 1 is integrated, which can serve as a side indicator light and/or approach light. The housing of the motor vehicle light 1 is shown partially cut open, so that it can be seen that an antenna 3 according to the invention is integrated into it.
