Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a structure of an aluminum alloy die-cast base. Background Art

[0002] The base of an automotive antenna is an aluminum alloy die-casting. To meet the requirement that the antenna is installed on the top of the vehicle without water leakage, a rubber layer needs to be installed around the aluminum alloy die-casting to achieve the functions of buffering and waterproofing. In the prior art with the authorized publication number CN106099310B, the rubber layer is formed on the base through a rubber coating process. The rubber layer on the top surface and the rubber layer on the bottom surface are connected by a number of rubber through-holes. However, a plurality of through-holes need to be opened around the base of the aluminum alloy die-casting, which makes the process complex and reduces the metal strength of the base. The rubber columns in the through-holes connect the rubber layer on the top surface and the rubber layer on the bottom surface. The rubber columns will deform or break under stress and are prone to aging. Therefore, the positioning function of the rubber columns is not reliable. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a structure of an aluminum alloy die-cast base, which improves production efficiency, reduces processes, enables two rubber layers to be integrally coated on the base, and makes their combination with the base more reliable.

[0004] To achieve the above purpose, the technical solution of the present invention is to design a structure of an aluminum alloy die-cast base, including a base and rubber layers wrapped around the top surface and the bottom surface of the base. An installation boss is provided at the center of the upper end surface of the base, and a baffle surrounding the base is provided at the edge of the upper end surface of the base. A rubber groove is provided between the baffle and the installation boss. The rubber groove is provided with a number of rubber through-holes. The rubber through-holes are arranged at intervals on the baffle. The rubber through-holes are used to connect the rubber layers on both sides of the top surface and the bottom surface of the base in an integrally molded rubber coating mold.

[0005] By adopting the above technical solution, the rubber groove is used to accommodate the rubber layer on the top surface of the base, and the rubber through-holes are used to connect the rubber layer on the top surface of the base and the rubber layer on the bottom surface of the base, so that the rubber layers on the upper and lower sides of the base are connected into a whole and coated on the outside of the base. The rubber groove plays a role of limiting and fixing the integral rubber layer, making the integral rubber layer more reliably combined with the base; the installation boss is used to install the antenna main board, and installation holes and installation posts for fixing the antenna main board are provided at both ends of the installation boss.

[0006] Preferably, the rubber through-holes include main rubber through-holes and auxiliary rubber through-holes. The number of the main rubber through-holes is 4, and the 4 main rubber through-holes are respectively located at the four corners of the base. The number of the auxiliary rubber through-holes is 6. Through the interval arrangement of the rubber through-holes in the circumferential direction of the base, the rubber layers on the top surface and the bottom surface of the base are more tightly connected.

[0007] Preferably, glue layer positioning posts are provided in each of the four main glue passing openings. Through the glue layer positioning posts, the glue layer is more firmly arranged in the glue groove.

[0008] Preferably, glue layer positioning blocks are provided on the lower end surface of the base. The number of the glue layer positioning blocks is four, and the positions of the glue layer positioning blocks correspond to the positions of the glue layer positioning posts one by one. Through the glue layer positioning blocks, the combination of the glue layer and the bottom surface of the base is more reliable.

[0009] Preferably, a groove for accommodating the antenna element is formed on the mounting boss. The antenna element is arranged on the antenna main board and is received in the groove, which can effectively avoid the interference of other components to the antenna element and has a protective effect on the antenna element.

[0010] The advantages and beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: The structure of the aluminum alloy die-cast base is locally changed. A glue groove and glue passing openings on the side wall of the glue groove are provided on the base. During the process of covering with rubber, the rubber on both the top surface and the bottom surface of the base is connected to each other, so that it is integrally covered on the base. Through the cooperation of the glue groove, the glue layer positioning posts and the glue layer positioning blocks, the integrally formed rubber glue layer is more firmly covered on the aluminum alloy die-cast base.

[0017] The glue ports 5 include a main glue port 9 and an auxiliary glue port 10. The number of the main glue ports 9 is 4, and the 4 main glue ports 9 are respectively located at the four corners of the base 1. The number of the auxiliary glue ports 10 is 6. The glue ports 5 are arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction of the base 1, so that the glue layer in the glue groove 4 and the glue layer on the bottom surface of the base 1 are connected as a whole.

[0018] The four main glue-passing ports 9 are each provided with a glue-layer positioning column 11. The glue-layer positioning column 11 enables the glue layer to be more stably arranged in the glue groove 4.
