Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of vehicle antennas, and in particular to a vehicle antenna structure. Background Art

[0002] Existing vehicle antennas include early wireless broadcast antennas, telescopic rod antennas, short roof antennas, and the now widely popular shark fin antennas. Shark fin antennas have good comprehensive performance in terms of appearance, wind resistance, and safety. More and more cars use shark fin antennas as vehicle antenna structures. Since shark fin antennas need to be installed on the top of the car, and shark fin antennas are usually installed through structures such as nuts, the shark fin antennas are always in a loose state when they are installed, making installation inconvenient.

[0003] In order to solve the above problems, a Chinese patent with publication number CN 112151942 A discloses a shark fin antenna with a pre-installation structure, including a shell, a pre-installation mechanism and a fixing mechanism, the shell includes an upper shell and a lower shell, the pre-installation mechanism and the fixing mechanism are both fixed to the outside of the lower shell; the pre-installation mechanism includes two groups of plug rods, the two groups of plug rods are arranged in parallel on the outside of the lower shell, the ends of the two groups of plug rods are provided with first clamping blocks, and the two groups of the first clamping blocks are both arranged on the outside of the plug rods. The shark fin antenna of the present invention is provided with a pre-installation mechanism and a fixing mechanism. When the shark fin antenna is installed on the roof, the shark fin antenna can be pre-installed on the roof through the pre-installation structure, and then the shark fin antenna can be completely fixed to the roof through the fixing mechanism, so that the shark fin antenna is more convenient to install and the installation position is more accurate.

[0004] The above-mentioned shark fin antenna is provided with a pre-installation mechanism and a fixing mechanism, which makes the installation of the shark fin antenna more convenient and the installation position more accurate. However, the above-mentioned vehicle-mounted shark fin antenna has not made further improvements to the shell structural strength, so that the shell is easily squeezed or collided and deformed during the installation of the antenna, which affects the quality and appearance of the shark fin antenna. In addition, since the appearance of different shark fin antennas is basically similar, when installing the shell of the shark fin antenna, the operator often takes the wrong shell for installation.

[0005] Therefore, there is a need for a vehicle antenna structure that has a high structural strength of the antenna housing and can prevent operators from installing a wrong housing. Utility Model Content

In this way, by setting the anti-mistake ribs, the operator is effectively prevented from installing the wrong shell.

[0032] In order to better understand the technical solutions and beneficial effects of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments:

[0033] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, a vehicle antenna structure 10 of an embodiment includes a shell 100, and the shell 100 includes an outer shell body 110, an inner shell body 120, a first reinforcing rib 130, a second reinforcing rib 140 and an anti-error rib 150. The inner shell body 120 is located inside the outer shell body 110 and is fixedly connected to the outer shell body 110. The two ends of the first reinforcing rib 130 are respectively connected to the outer shell body 110 and the inner shell body 120. The second reinforcing rib 140 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the inner shell body 120. The anti-error rib 150 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the outer shell body 110, and the anti-error rib 150 is spaced apart from the first reinforcing rib 130; an antenna assembly 200, and the antenna assembly 200 includes a PCB board 210 and an antenna board 220, and the PCB board 210 is electrically connected to the antenna board 220; a bottom plate 300, and the inner shell body 120 is connected to the bottom plate 300, and the PCB board 210 is connected to the bottom plate 300.

[0034] In this embodiment, the inner shell body 120 is located inside the outer shell body 110, and the inner shell body 120 is annularly fixedly connected to the outer shell body 110, that is, the inner shell body 120 and the outer shell body 110 are connected and fixed only by an annular structure, so that the connection strength between the inner shell body 120 and the outer shell body 110 is relatively low. Therefore, by providing a first reinforcing rib 130 on the inner side of the outer shell body 110 and connecting with the outer shell body 110 and the inner shell body 120 respectively, the connection strength between the outer shell body 110 and the inner shell body 120 is strengthened. Further, the inner shell body 120 is annularly shaped, and the outer side of the inner shell body 120 is connected with the second reinforcing rib 140, so that the inner shell body 120 is easily squeezed and recessed inwardly, that is, the structural strength of the inner shell body 120 itself is relatively low, so by providing a second reinforcing rib 140 on the inner side of the inner shell body 120 and fixing it with the inner shell body 120, the structural strength of the inner shell body 120 is strengthened. In addition, the anti-error rib 150 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the shell body 110. When the operator installs the shell 100, the anti-error rib 150 is set corresponding to the switch on the corresponding jig, so that the anti-error rib 150 squeezes the switch on the jig, and then the jig starts to lock the screws.

[0035] The above-mentioned vehicle antenna structure 10 is connected to the outer shell body 110 and the inner shell body 120 through the two ends of the first reinforcing rib 130, respectively, to strengthen the connection strength between the outer shell body 110 and the inner shell body 120, and is fixedly connected to the inner side of the inner shell body 120 through the second reinforcing rib 140, to strengthen the structural strength of the inner shell body 120, and effectively prevent the outer shell body 110 and the inner shell body 120 from being deformed due to possible collision and extrusion. Further, by setting the anti-mistake rib 150 on the inner side of the outer shell body 110, when the operator installs the shell 100, the anti-mistake rib 150 will press the switch on the corresponding jig, and the jig will start the locking screw when pressing the switch, and connect the inner shell body 120 with the bottom plate 300. If it is not pressed, it means that the operator has taken the wrong shell 100, and the jig will not start the locking screw. In this way, the anti-mistake rib 150 is set to effectively prevent the operator from installing the wrong shell 100.

[0036] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the outer shell body 110, the inner shell body 120, the first reinforcing rib 130, the second reinforcing rib 140 and the anti-misalignment rib 150 are an integrally formed structure.

[0038] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, each first reinforcing rib 130 is in a triangular shape. In this embodiment, the first reinforcing rib 130 is in a right triangle shape, which has high stability, and the hypotenuse of the right triangle is adapted to the shape of the outer shell body 110, that is, by providing the first reinforcing rib 130 in a triangular shape whose hypotenuse is adapted to the shape of the outer shell body 110, the connection strength between the outer shell body 110 and the inner shell body 120 is high, and the stability is also high.

[0039] like Figure 3As shown, in one embodiment, the number of the second reinforcing ribs 140 is multiple, and the multiple second reinforcing ribs 140 are arranged around the circumference of the inner side of the inner shell body 120. In this embodiment, the multiple second reinforcing ribs 140 are arranged around the circumference of the inner side of the inner shell body 120, so that the inner shell body 120 can be evenly stressed, thereby improving the structural strength of the inner shell body 120.

[0040] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, each second reinforcing rib 140 is in the shape of a long strip. In this embodiment, the length of the second reinforcing rib 140 matches the length of the inner wall of the inner shell body 120, further allowing the inner shell body 120 to be evenly stressed and improving the structural strength of the inner shell body 120.

[0041] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the shape of the anti-misalignment rib 150 is a trapezoid. In this embodiment, the anti-misalignment rib 150 is a trapezoid, and the bottom of the anti-misalignment rib 150 is adapted to the shape of the shell body 110, thereby improving the connection strength between the anti-misalignment rib 150 and the shell body 110. According to different application scenarios, in other embodiments, the anti-misalignment rib 150 can also be in other shapes such as a rectangle and an arc.

In this embodiment, the guide through hole 301 is rectangular, and the external wire passes through the wire through hole 301 to connect with the antenna in the inner shell body 120. According to different needs, the wire through hole 301 can also be in other shapes such as a circle.

[0043] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the vehicle antenna structure 10 further includes a clamping column 400, which is located below the bottom plate 300 and fixedly connected to the bottom plate 300. The outer peripheral wall of the clamping column 400 is provided with an external thread structure, which is used to be screwed with a bolt. In this embodiment, the clamping column 400 is a screw rod, and the bottom plate 300 can be conveniently installed on the roof by providing a screw rod and a bolt for threaded connection.

[0044] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in one embodiment, the vehicle antenna structure 10 further includes a connector 500, a connector column 160 is further provided between the outer shell body 110 and the inner shell body 120, a first connector hole 300a is provided on the bottom plate 300, a second connector hole 160a is provided on the connector column 160, and the connector 500 passes through the first connector hole 300a and the second connector hole 160a. In this embodiment, the vehicle antenna structure 10 includes a plurality of connectors 500, and the plurality of connectors 500 are arranged around the periphery of the bottom plate 300. Correspondingly, a plurality of connector columns 160 are further provided between the outer shell body 110 and the inner shell body 120, and each connector 500 is arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with each connector column 160. By providing a plurality of connectors 500 and connector columns 160, the connection strength between the housing 100 and the bottom plate 300 is improved.

[0045] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following advantages:

[0046] The above-mentioned vehicle antenna structure 10 is connected to the outer shell body 110 and the inner shell body 120 through the two ends of the first reinforcing rib 130, respectively, to strengthen the connection strength between the outer shell body 110 and the inner shell body 120, and is fixedly connected to the inner side of the inner shell body 120 through the second reinforcing rib 140, to strengthen the structural strength of the inner shell body 120, and effectively prevent the outer shell body 110 and the inner shell body 120 from being deformed due to possible collision and extrusion. Further, by setting the anti-mistake rib 150 on the inner side of the outer shell body 110, when the operator installs the shell 100, the anti-mistake rib 150 will press the switch on the corresponding jig, and the jig will start the locking screw when pressing the switch, and connect the inner shell body 120 with the bottom plate 300. If it is not pressed, it means that the operator has taken the wrong shell 100, and the jig will not start the locking screw. In this way, the anti-mistake rib 150 is set to effectively prevent the operator from installing the wrong shell 100.
