Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automobile accessories, in particular to a vehicle-mounted intelligent antenna and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] As the automobile market pays more and more attention to user experience, the development direction of automobile products tends to be digital and intelligent. Therefore, T-BOX (i.e., on-board electrical components) is installed on the car to realize intelligent control of the car. At present, T-BOX products are generally installed on the top of the car and arranged under the shark fin on the top of the vehicle. The seal between the shark fin and the roof is used to prevent the T-BOX from being inactivated by water, which has great limitations on the design of the whole vehicle. It is important that the roof will be exposed to the sun for a long time, resulting in a high ambient temperature for the T-BOX, which is not conducive to its stable function. Therefore, it is necessary to meet the loading of more positions of the T-BOX besides the roof, such as the dashboard, under the seat, etc., and there are many positions in the vehicle where there is the possibility of wading or water vapor. However, the existing T-BOX products installed in the car use screws to fasten the shell. Due to the influence of dimensional error or loose screws, there is a gap between the shell and the shell, so it does not have good waterproof ability, which easily causes the T-BOX signal to be poorly transmitted or even inactivated, and cannot meet the needs of flexible layout in the car. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, the purpose of this application is to provide a vehicle-mounted intelligent antenna and vehicle to solve the problem that the existing T-BOX products installed in the car fasten the outer shell with screws, do not have good waterproof ability, and are easily caused by water vapor to cause the T-BOX product signal to be poorly transmitted or even fail, and cannot meet the needs of flexible layout in the car.

[0036] Hereinafter, the specific structures of the above components of the vehicle-mounted smart antenna according to this embodiment will be described.

[0037] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, the housing includes a first housing 10 and a second housing 20 that are buckled together. A receiving cavity 24 for installing components is formed inside one of the first housing 10 and the second housing 20. The other of the first housing 10 and the second housing 20 is formed into a cover-like structure capable of buckling the receiving cavity 24. The welding track 30 is formed by a welding process and is arranged between the first housing 10 and the second housing 20, so that the housing is formed into a closed box structure to keep the components arranged in the receiving cavity 24 in a dry working environment, ensure the stable operation of the vehicle-mounted smart antenna, facilitate the flexible arrangement of the vehicle-mounted smart antenna in the vehicle, reduce the application of screws, and reduce the material and labor costs. The welding track 30 is formed into a closed annular structure to ensure that the vehicle-mounted smart antenna has reliable sealing and waterproof performance.

[0038] Specifically, in this embodiment, Figures 2 to 4As shown, a protruding welding rib 13 is formed at one end of the first shell 10 facing the second shell 20, and a recessed welding groove 23 is formed at one end of the second shell 20 facing the first shell 10, so that part of the welding rib 13 can extend into it. The welding track 30 is formed by welding and fusing the welding rib 13 by a welding device, so that the first shell 10 and the second shell 20 are welded and connected. Before welding, part of the welding rib 13 is embedded in the welding groove 23 to achieve pre-positioning, improve the welding quality, and thus ensure that the vehicle-mounted smart antenna has reliable sealing and waterproof performance. In this embodiment, the welding device can be an ultrasonic welding machine.

[0039] In this embodiment, if Figure 4 As shown, along the direction in which the welding rib 13 extends into the welding groove 23 (i.e. Figure 4 In the vertical downward direction from the perspective, at least part of the welding rib 13 on the side facing the outside of the shell is formed into a slope structure 131 which gradually tilts toward the inside of the shell, so that the welding equipment can fuse the welding rib 13 and ensure the reliability of the welding track 30 forming a closed annular structure, thereby improving the waterproof effect and the assembly efficiency of the first shell 10 and the second shell 20.

[0040] In a preferred embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, the first housing 10 is disposed above the second housing 20 so that the welding rib 13 extends from top to bottom into the welding groove 23. However, the positional relationship between the first housing 10 and the second housing 20 is not limited thereto and can be arranged according to actual needs.

[0041] Specifically, in this embodiment, the outer shell is formed as a box-type structure, and the outer shell can be formed as a rectangular body or a cylindrical body.

[0042] More specifically, if Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first shell 10 includes a top cover portion 11 and a first surrounding edge 12 extending from the circumferential edge of the top cover portion 11 toward the second shell 20, the top cover portion 11 is formed into a plate-like structure, the first surrounding edge 12 is formed into a closed annular structure, and the welding rib 13 is arranged at one end of the first surrounding edge 12 away from the top cover portion 11. In a preferred embodiment, the welding rib 13 is formed into a closed annular structure to ensure welding quality. The second shell 20 includes a base portion 21 and a second surrounding edge 22 extending from the circumferential edge of the base portion 21 toward the first shell 10, the base portion 21 is formed into a plate-like structure, the second surrounding edge 22 is formed into a closed annular structure, and the welding groove 23 is arranged at one end of the second surrounding edge 22 away from the base portion 21. In a preferred embodiment, the welding groove 23 is formed into a closed annular structure and corresponds to the welding rib 13 of the annular structure to meet welding requirements.

[0043] In this embodiment, if Figure 4As shown, in the direction in which the first shell 10 and the second shell 20 are fastened together (i.e. Figure 4 The cross section of the welding rib 13 is formed into a pointed structure 132 disposed toward the welding groove 23, and the tip of the pointed structure 132 is disposed toward the welding groove 23, so that the pointed structure 132 is disposed in a vertical downward direction from the perspective of FIG. Figure 4 Both side walls under the viewing angle are formed into inclined surfaces relative to each other, and the inclined surface facing the outside of the shell is the inclined surface structure 131 as described above, so that while ensuring that it is convenient for the welding equipment to fuse the welding rib 13, both side walls are formed into inclined surfaces so that the thickness of the welding rib 13 in the direction of the first shell 10 and the second shell 20 are gradually reduced, so as to improve the fusion effect of the welding rib 13, thereby improving the welding quality of the first shell 10 and the second shell 20.

[0044] Preferably, the angle A1 of the pointed structure 132 is 40° to 60°, so that the end of the welding rib 13 facing the welding groove 23 can be effectively fused, thereby ensuring the welding quality. In a preferred embodiment, the angle A1 is 50°.

[0045] In this embodiment, the pointed structure 132 may be formed as an isosceles triangle whose high line extends along the direction in which the first shell 10 and the second shell 20 are buckled.

[0046] In a preferred embodiment, the thickness dimension L1 of the welding rib 13 is the dimension of the connection between the welding rib 13 and the first shell 10, and the width dimension L2 of the welding groove 23 is greater than the thickness dimension L1 of the welding rib 13, so that the welding groove 23 can hold at least a portion of the welding rib 13 fused by the welding equipment. After the welding rib 13 is fused, its dimension in the height direction will be reduced, so that the distance between the first shell 10 and the second shell 20 after welding is smaller than the distance between the first shell 10 and the second shell 20 before welding, thereby ensuring the quality of the welding track 30 formed between the first shell 10 and the second shell 20, so that the first shell 10 and the second shell 20 have sufficient welding strength.

[0047] Preferably, if Figure 4 As shown, the thickness dimension L1 of the welding rib 13 is 0.7 mm to 1 mm, so as to ensure the fusion effect of the welding rib 13 .

[0048] Preferably, if Figure 4 As shown, the width dimension L2 of the welding groove 23 is 1 mm to 1.5 mm, so as to ensure that the welding track 30 can be effectively formed between the first shell 10 and the second shell 20, so that the first shell 10 and the second shell 20 have sufficient welding strength.

[0049] In a preferred embodiment, L1 is 0.8 mm and L2 is 1 mm.

[0050] According to the vehicle-mounted smart antenna of the utility model, a welding rib is provided on the first shell, and a welding groove for part of the welding rib to extend into is provided on the second shell. The welding rib is fused to form a welding track, so that the first shell and the second shell are welded and connected, and the welding track forms a closed ring structure, so that the interior of the shell is sealed, so as to ensure that the vehicle-mounted smart antenna has reliable waterproof ability, avoid external water vapor from invading the interior of the shell, thereby ensuring that the components inside the shell are in a dry working environment, ensuring that the vehicle-mounted smart antenna works stably, and also facilitating the flexible arrangement of the vehicle-mounted smart antenna in the car, and reducing the use of screws, and reducing the cost of materials and labor hours. In addition, at least part of the side of the welding rib facing the outside of the shell is formed into an inclined structure that gradually tilts toward the inside of the shell, so that the welding equipment can fuse the welding rib, and ensure the reliability of the welding track forming a closed ring structure, thereby improving the waterproof effect and the assembly efficiency of the first shell and the second shell.

[0051] The second aspect of the utility model provides a vehicle, comprising the vehicle-mounted smart antenna as described above, and thus having all the beneficial technical effects of the vehicle-mounted smart antenna, which will not be described in detail herein.
