[0002] There are the following problems in the SMT welding of the multi-layer millimeter wave radar antenna: a. During welding, the temperature difference between the surface layer and the inside is large, which is likely to cause the central solder area to be unable to melt the solder or easily form voids. If a higher temperature is used, it is likely to cause solder overflow; b. Due to the large temperature difference between the surface layer and the inside, only low-temperature welding materials can be used, which affects the reliability of the product after welding. Content of the Utility Model
[0003] In view of the technical problems in the prior art, the utility model provides a multi-layer millimeter wave radar antenna structure capable of reducing the temperature difference between inside and outside, which includes an antenna body. The antenna body includes multiple layers of antenna units and a cover plate stacked in sequence. The cover plate is installed at the top of the multiple layers of antenna units. The adjacent two layers of antenna units and between the antenna unit and the cover plate are all connected by SMT welding. A plurality of grooves are formed on the surface of the antenna unit, and the edges of the grooves form welding areas. A plurality of cavities are formed between the adjacent two layers of antenna units and between the antenna unit and the cover plate. The cavities are communicated with the outside through air inlets.
[0004] Further, adjacent two cavities are communicated through an air inlet.
[0005] Further, the air inlets for the cavities to communicate with the outside are one or more.
[0006] Further, the multiple cavities are distributed in a dislocation manner with the waveguide.

[0008] Beneficial Effects:
[0009] 1. In the utility model, through the arrangement of a plurality of grooves, the glue of the antenna unit can be reduced, thereby reducing the weight of the product. Combined with the arrangement of a plurality of cavities and air inlets, hot air can better enter the interior of the product, thereby reducing the temperature difference between the surface layer and the inside, effectively reducing the void ratio, and improving the reliability of the product after welding.
[0010] 2. In the utility model, through the arrangement that adjacent two cavities are communicated through an air inlet, the flow performance of the hot air can be improved, ensuring the uniformity of the temperature inside the product.
[0011] 3. In the present utility model, the intake port communicating with the outside through the cavity is provided as one or more, which can improve the rate of hot air entering the product interior and accelerate the time to reduce the temperature difference between inside and outside.
[0012] 4. In the present utility model, the misaligned distribution of multiple cavities and the waveguide can avoid affecting the function of the antenna; combined with the setting that the shapes and positions of the cavities in adjacent two layers can be the same or different, it is possible to minimize the glue for the antenna unit according to the actual situation, so that the weight of the product is minimized.

[0020] In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, the features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one such feature. In the description of the present application, the meaning of "a plurality of" is at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise specifically and clearly defined.

For example, it may be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or integrated; it may be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it may be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it may be the internal communication of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements, unless otherwise clearly limited. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0022] In the present application, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the first feature being "on" or "under" the second feature may be that the first and second features are in direct contact, or the first and second features are indirectly in contact through an intermediate medium. Moreover, the first feature being "above", "over" and "on top of" the second feature may be that the first feature is directly above or obliquely above the second feature, or merely indicates that the first feature has a higher horizontal height than the second feature.

[0023] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as "fixed to" or "disposed on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or there may be an intermediate element. When an element is considered to be "connected" to another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intermediate element at the same time. The terms "vertical", "horizontal", "upper", "lower", "left", "right" and similar expressions used herein are only for illustrative purposes and do not represent the only implementation.
