[0034] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0035] Example 1

[0036] Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 6 , this embodiment provides a GPS antenna installation structure, including:

[0037] The back door inner panel 1 is used to be installed at the back door position of the automobile body;

[0038] The back door outer panel 3 is arranged at one side of the back door inner panel 1 and covers the back door inner panel 1. A signal avoidance hole 4 is opened on the back door outer panel 3;

[0039] The GPS antenna assembly 5 is arranged between the back door inner panel 1 and the back door outer panel 3 . The GPS antenna assembly 5 is arranged corresponding to the position of the signal avoidance hole 4 , and the signal surface of the GPS antenna assembly 5 faces the signal avoidance hole 4 .

[0040] First, it should be noted that the vehicle back door is the position where the back door glass 8 is installed on the car, that is, the position where the rear windshield is installed, and the vehicle back door is usually connected to the back door position of the car body.

[0041] The vehicle tailgate sheet metal is mainly composed of a tailgate inner panel 1 and a tailgate outer panel 3, which are spliced ​​together by bolts or welding; an installation space is formed between the tailgate inner panel 1 and the tailgate outer panel 3, and the GPS antenna assembly 5 is installed in the installation space; the tailgate inner panel 1 is the side of the vehicle tailgate close to the interior of the vehicle, and the tailgate outer panel 3 is the side of the vehicle tailgate away from the interior of the vehicle, and a mounting hole 2 penetrating the tailgate inner panel 1 is provided in the upper section of the tailgate inner panel 1, and the shape of the mounting hole 2 is determined by the designer, and a signal avoidance hole 4 penetrating the tailgate outer panel 3 is provided in the upper section of the tailgate outer panel 3, and the GPS antenna assembly 5 is fixed at a position between the mounting hole 2 and the signal avoidance hole 4, and the signal surface of the GPS antenna assembly 5 faces the direction of the signal avoidance hole 4.

[0042] By setting the GPS antenna assembly 5 between the back door inner panel 1 and the back door outer panel 3, the problem of the traditional antenna affecting the vehicle appearance when installed on the top of the vehicle is effectively avoided; by providing a signal avoidance hole 4 on the back door outer panel 3, the influence of the sheet metal of the back door outer panel 3 on the antenna signal transmission is avoided, thereby improving the signal reception performance of the GPS antenna assembly 5.

[0043] Furthermore, an interior trim panel is provided on the side of the back door inner panel 1 away from the back door outer panel 3 , and the interior trim panel is detachably mounted on the back door inner panel 1 and covers the mounting hole 2 .

[0044] Specifically, the interior trim panel is installed on the side of the tailgate inner panel 1 close to the interior of the vehicle by means of snap-on or adhesive bonding. The interior trim panel mainly serves to decorate the interior of the vehicle and can also cover the mounting hole 2. When the GPS antenna assembly 5 fails, the GPS antenna assembly 5 can be operated through the mounting hole 2 by simply removing the interior trim panel in the vehicle.

[0045] Furthermore, an installation reinforcement plate 6 is provided between the back door inner panel 1 and the back door outer panel 3. The installation reinforcement plate 6 is Z-shaped, one end of the installation reinforcement plate 6 is connected to the back door inner panel 1, and the other end is connected to one side of the GPS antenna assembly 5.

[0046] Furthermore, a pair of hinge reinforcement plates 7 are provided between the back door inner panel 1 and the back door outer panel 3 , and the pair of hinge reinforcement plates 7 are respectively connected to the back door inner panel 1 , and one of the hinge reinforcement plates 7 is also connected to the side of the GPS antenna assembly 5 away from the installation reinforcement plate 6 .

[0047] Furthermore, a mounting hole 2 is provided on the back door inner panel 1, and the mounting hole 2 passes through the back door inner panel 1 for the GPS antenna assembly 5 to pass through; the mounting hole 2 corresponds to the position setting of the GPS antenna assembly 5, and the position of the mounting hole 2 is biased towards the hinge reinforcement plate 7 connected to the GPS antenna assembly 5.

[0048] Specifically, refer to Figure 8The mounting reinforcement plate 6 is arranged in the mounting space between the back door inner plate 1 and the back door outer plate 3. The mounting reinforcement plate 6 is mainly used to fix the GPS antenna assembly 5. One end of the mounting reinforcement plate 6 is connected to the back door inner plate 1 by spot welding, and the other end is connected to one end of the GPS antenna assembly 5 and fixed by bolts. The Z-shaped mounting reinforcement plate 6 can fix the GPS antenna assembly 5 while avoiding blocking the mounting hole 2, so as to facilitate the installation and removal of the GPS antenna assembly 5.

[0049] Specifically, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Fig. 9 A pair of hinge reinforcement plates 7 are both arranged in the installation space between the back door inner plate 1 and the back door outer plate 3, and correspond to the two sides of the back door of the vehicle respectively. Figure 3 , a pair of hinge reinforcement plates 7 about Figure 3 The symmetry axis B in the figure is set symmetrically. Figure 3 Another hinge reinforcement plate 7 is provided at Figure 3 The specific structure of the dotted box position at C in the figure is not shown in the figure. The hinge reinforcement plate 7 is a component used to improve the structural strength of the vehicle back door hinge installation position. The hinge reinforcement plate 7 is fixed to the back door inner panel 1 by spot welding or bolt connection. In this embodiment, the hinge reinforcement plate 7 is also used to fix the GPS antenna assembly 5; the installation reinforcement plate 6 is arranged between a pair of hinge reinforcement plates 7, and the GPS antenna assembly 5 is arranged between the installation reinforcement plate 6 and one of the hinge reinforcement plates 7. The side of the GPS antenna assembly 5 away from the installation reinforcement plate 6 is connected to the hinge reinforcement plate 7 and fixed by bolts. While the GPS antenna assembly 5 is installed and fixed by the installation reinforcement plate 6 and the hinge reinforcement plate 7, it can also improve the structural strength of the back door inner panel 1, compensating for the problem of reduced strength of the sheet metal structure caused by the opening of the installation hole 2 on the back door inner panel 1.

[0050] Specifically, the mounting hole 2 is provided in the upper section of the back door inner panel 1, and the mounting hole 2 penetrates the back door inner panel 1. The shape of the mounting hole 2 is determined by the designer. By providing the mounting hole 2 on the back door inner panel 1, and since the back door inner panel 1 is located on the side close to the interior of the vehicle, the GPS antenna assembly 5 can be assembled and disassembled in the vehicle from the position of the mounting hole 2, without the need to disassemble the back door inner panel 1 and the back door outer panel 3, which is convenient for disassembly and repair when the GPS antenna assembly 5 is damaged; the mounting hole 2 is provided at a position deviating from the axis of symmetry of the back door inner panel 1, and the position of the mounting hole 2 is as close as possible to the hinge reinforcement plate 7 connected to the GPS antenna assembly 5. Since the installation position of the hinge reinforcement plate 7 is fixed relative to the back door inner panel 1, there is no requirement for the position of the installation reinforcement plate 6, and it only needs to be fixed at the edge of the mounting hole 2; the closer the mounting hole 2 is to the hinge reinforcement plate 7, the closer the corresponding installation position of the GPS antenna assembly 5 is to the hinge reinforcement plate 7, and thus the length of the hinge reinforcement plate 7 can be set shorter and the volume can be set smaller, further meeting the requirements of lightweight.

[0051] Furthermore, the hinge reinforcement plate 7 is provided with a hollow hole.

[0052] Specifically, the position of the hollow hole is determined according to the design of the designer, and the purpose of lightweighting needs to be met without affecting the structural strength of the hinge reinforcement plate 7. The specific position of the hollow hole is not limited here. By arranging the hollow hole on the hinge reinforcement plate 7 to reduce the weight of the hinge reinforcement plate 7, the purpose of lightweighting is further achieved.

[0053] Furthermore, the GPS antenna assembly 5 includes a mounting frame 9 and an antenna body 10. A support ear 11 is respectively provided on two opposite sides of the mounting frame 9. The two support ears 11 are respectively detachably connected to the hinge reinforcement plate 7 and the mounting reinforcement plate 6; the antenna body 10 is installed on one side of the mounting frame 9 close to the signal avoidance hole 4.

[0054] Specifically, refer to Figure 7 The two ears 11 of the mounting frame 9 are both provided with through holes, and the two ears 11 are respectively connected to the mounting reinforcement plate 6 and the hinge reinforcement plate 7 by bolts; by connecting the mounting frame 9 with the mounting reinforcement plate 6 and the hinge reinforcement plate 7, installation and disassembly are convenient, and the antenna body 10 will not be damaged during installation and disassembly, thereby improving the service life of the antenna body 10.

[0055] Furthermore, the mounting hole 2 is rectangular, and the length of the long side of the mounting hole 2 is greater than or equal to the distance between the distal ends of the two supporting ears 11 .

[0056] Specifically, the arrangement direction of the two ears 11 is the length direction of the mounting frame 9, and the mounting hole 2 includes a pair of long sides and a pair of wide sides. The length of the long side of the mounting hole 2 is greater than the length of the mounting frame 9, and the length of the wide side of the mounting hole 2 is greater than the width of the mounting frame 9. This arrangement facilitates the adjustment of the tightness of the screws on the ears 11 and facilitates the removal of the GPS antenna assembly 5 from the mounting hole 2.

[0057] Furthermore, a back door glass 8 is provided on the side of the back door outer panel 3 away from the back door inner panel 1, and the back door glass 8 is covered with a metal film; the back door glass 8 includes a first area and a second area, the first area is provided corresponding to the signal avoidance hole 4, and the metal film covers the second area.

[0058] Specifically, refer to Fig.10 The back door glass 8 is the rear windshield. In order to improve the performance and strength of the back door glass 8 and make it have functions such as heat preservation and heat insulation, a metal film is usually plated on the back door glass 8. Since the metal film has an obstructive effect on the transmission of the antenna signal, the back door glass 8 is divided into a first area and a second area. The position of the first area corresponds to the position of the signal avoidance hole 4. The metal film covers the second area, and the first area is not covered with the metal film to avoid affecting the reception of the signal by the GPS antenna assembly 5.

[0059] Based on the above description, it can be known that this embodiment proposes a GPS antenna installation structure. In order to avoid affecting the aesthetics of the vehicle's appearance, the GPS antenna assembly 5 is arranged between the back door inner panel 1 and the back door outer panel 3; the setting of the mounting hole 2 makes it easy to assemble and disassemble the GPS antenna assembly 5, and the connection between the GPS antenna assembly 5 and the mounting reinforcement plate 6 and the hinge reinforcement plate 7 realizes the fixation of the GPS antenna assembly 5 while compensating for the problem of decreased sheet metal strength that may be caused by the mounting hole 2; the setting of the signal avoidance hole 4 and the first area ensures that although the GPS antenna assembly 5 is installed inside the vehicle, it will not reduce the performance of the received signal, and has strong practicality.

[0060] Example 2

[0061] This embodiment provides a vehicle, and the GPS antenna installation structure described in Embodiment 1 is installed at the back door position of the vehicle.

[0062] The vehicle in this embodiment has the GPS antenna installation structure in the above-mentioned embodiment 1, which does not affect the aesthetics of the vehicle's appearance while ensuring the normal use of the GPS function. At the same time, the GPS antenna assembly 5 can be easily assembled and disassembled, thereby improving the convenience of fault repair and greatly increasing the market competitiveness of the vehicle.
