[0038] As Figure 1 shown, the antenna structure for a vehicle provided by an embodiment of the present invention includes:

[0039] a body 1 and an antenna 2, the antenna 2 is provided on the body 1, at least the body 1 and the antenna 2 can form a radiator, and the radiation direction of the radiator faces the outside of the vehicle body;

[0040] wherein, the body 1 is a fuel tank cover and / or a charging cover.

[0041] As Figure 1 shown, the body 1 is the basic part of the antenna structure, and the body 1 can be designed as a fuel tank cover and / or a charging cover. In this way, when the antenna 2 is combined with the body 1, the shape and structure of the fuel tank cover and / or the charging cover can be fully utilized to achieve miniaturization and integration of the antenna.

[0042] The material of the body 1 can be selected from metal materials with good conductivity, such as aluminum, copper, etc., to ensure that it can be used as part of the antenna to form a radiator. At the same time, in order to ensure the durability and aesthetics of the body 1, spraying or coating treatment can be carried out on its surface.

[0043] The antenna 2 is the key part of the antenna structure. The antenna 2 can be designed as a thin film antenna or a printed antenna that closely fits the body 1. The material of the antenna 2 can be selected from materials with good conductivity, such as copper, silver, etc., to ensure that it can be used as part of the radiator to receive and transmit signals. At the same time, in order to enhance the performance of the antenna 2, a conductive coating or conductive particles can be added to its surface.

[0044] Among them, the combination method of the antenna 2 and the body 1 can adopt bonding, welding and other methods. When combining, it should be ensured that there is good electrical contact performance between the antenna 2 and the body 1, and a relatively stable radiator can be formed, thereby improving the quality of signal reception and transmission, reducing signal loss during transmission, and ensuring the stability and reliability of communication.

[0045] By directly fixing the antenna 2 to the fuel tank cover or the charging cover, it is also possible to avoid the problem of signal occlusion caused by the built-in antenna 2, thereby reducing the signal shielding problem during use and facilitating the guarantee of the performance of the antenna 2. Moreover, by utilizing the relatively large size of the fuel tank cover or the charging cover, the gain of the antenna 2 can also be enhanced.

[0046] When the body 1 is combined with the antenna 2, they jointly form a radiator. Among them, the radiation direction of the radiator faces the outside of the vehicle body, which can ensure the signal coverage range. In order to control the radiation direction of the radiator, specific shapes and dimensions, such as bending and folding, can be adopted in the design of the antenna 2. A limiting member 9 can also be provided, and the limiting member 9 is used to fix the antenna 2, which can facilitate wire routing.

[0047] The antenna structure provided by the present utility model can achieve the miniaturization and integration of the antenna by making full use of the existing vehicle structure as a part of the antenna structure. At the same time, the antenna structure has good signal receiving and transmitting performance and can meet the requirements of vehicle communication. In addition, the antenna structure also has the advantages of simple structure and convenient installation, which can reduce the cost and weight of the vehicle and improve the overall performance of the vehicle.

[0048] Moreover, by integrating the antenna structure on the fuel tank cover or the charging cover, the antenna is no longer an independent component on the vehicle appearance, thereby enhancing the overall aesthetics of the vehicle. And its installation and maintenance processes are relatively simple. The user only needs to replace or repair the fuel tank cover and the charging cover, which also reduces the maintenance cost and time cost.

[0049] Optionally, it includes two said bodies 1 and two said antennas 2. One said antenna 2 is provided on each said body 1. One said body 1 is the fuel tank cover, and the other said body 1 is the charging cover, so as to be able to utilize the fuel tank cover and the charging cover to facilitate reducing the cost of the antenna structure.

[0050] Optionally, the two said bodies 1 are respectively located on both sides of the vehicle body, and the radiation directions of the radiators formed by the two said bodies 1 are opposite.

[0051] As Figures 3 to 6 shown, by providing one antenna 2 on each side of the vehicle body and with their radiation directions opposite, the signal coverage range of the antenna structure can be significantly improved. When the vehicle is driving, no matter in which direction, it can maintain good signal receiving and transmitting capabilities, thereby enhancing the stability and reliability of communication.

[0052] As Figure 5 and Figure 6There are two antennas 2 with opposite radiation directions. This design helps reduce mutual interference and loss of signals during transmission. When the two antennas 2 work simultaneously, the signal transmission between them is more efficient, reducing signal attenuation and distortion, thereby improving communication quality. This also helps reduce the impact of electromagnetic radiation on the surrounding environment and passengers, while enhancing the electromagnetic compatibility of the vehicle body.

[0053] In addition, since there is one antenna 2 on each side of the vehicle body, when one antenna 2 fails or is damaged, the other antenna 2 can still work normally, thereby improving the redundancy and reliability of the entire system, and helping to reduce the risk of communication interruption caused by antenna 2 failure.

[0054] Optionally, it further includes a feed voltage plate 3. The feed voltage plate 3 is disposed on the body 1. The feed voltage plate 3 is electrically connected to the antenna 2. The feed voltage plate 3, the antenna 2 and the body 1 form the radiator.

[0055] As Figure 1 shown, the feed voltage plate 3 serves as a bridge between the antenna 2 and the power supply, and can ensure that the antenna 2 obtains stable and efficient energy supply. By adjusting the size, shape and position of the feed voltage plate 3, parameters such as the frequency response, bandwidth, and gain of the antenna 2 can be adjusted to better adapt to different communication environments and requirements.

[0056] Moreover, the radiation effect of the radiator formed by the feed voltage plate 3, the antenna 2 and the body 1 is further enhanced. The feed voltage plate 3, as a channel for energy transmission, can ensure that more energy is effectively radiated, thereby improving the radiation efficiency and coverage of the antenna structure.

[0057] Optionally, one end of the feed voltage plate 3 further has a stub 4. The stub 4 protrudes and encloses a coupling cavity 41 with the body 1.

[0058] As Figure 1 shown, the coupling cavity 41 enclosed by the stub 4 and the body 1 can significantly enhance the coupling effect between the antenna 2 and the surrounding environment, helping to better capture and radiate electromagnetic waves, thereby improving the sensitivity and efficiency of the antenna structure. Among them, the coupling cavity 41 can expand the bandwidth of the antenna 2 and increase the gain, and can also improve the anti-interference ability of the antenna 2, reduce the impact of external electromagnetic interference on the performance of the antenna 2, and ensure that the antenna structure can still work stably in a complex environment.

[0059] Among them, the stub 4 protrudes from the surface of the body 1. For example, one side of the feed voltage sheet 3 close to the antenna 2 can be folded up to form the stub 4. By adjusting the size, shape, and position of the stub 4, fine-tuning of the impedance of the antenna 2 can be achieved, ensuring that the antenna 2 has better performance within a specific frequency band. By adjusting parameters such as the length, width, and angle of the stub 4, flexible adjustment of the performance of the antenna 2 can also be achieved, enabling the antenna 2 to adapt to different application scenarios and communication requirements, and improving its versatility and flexibility.

[0060] Optionally, it further includes a coaxial wire 5. The antenna 2 is sleeved outside the coaxial wire 5, and one end of the coaxial wire 5 is connected to the feed voltage sheet 3.

[0061] As Figure 1 shown, the coaxial wire 5, as the transmission medium between the antenna 2 and the feed voltage sheet 3, is designed with low loss and high isolation to ensure that the signal is reduced in attenuation and distortion during transmission, thereby improving the signal transmission quality.

[0062] Using the coaxial wire 5 to tightly connect the antenna 2 and the feed voltage sheet 3 can ensure the stability of the antenna 2 receiving and transmitting signals, thereby reducing the influence of external factors on the antenna 2 and improving the anti-interference ability and reliability of the antenna 2.

[0063] Sleeving the antenna 2 outside the coaxial wire 5 not only simplifies the antenna structure but also makes the entire antenna structure more compact and lightweight, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost and installation difficulty of the antenna structure.

[0064] Among them, since the coaxial wire 5 is directly connected to the feed voltage sheet 3, the installation and maintenance process of the antenna are more convenient. The user only needs to reliably connect the coaxial wire 5 and the feed voltage sheet 3 to complete the installation of the antenna 2. During maintenance, only the connection status of the coaxial wire 5 and the integrity of the antenna 2 need to be checked.

[0065] Optionally, the antenna structure further includes a grounding terminal 6. The grounding terminal 6 is sleeved outside the shielding layer of the coaxial wire 5, and the grounding terminal 6 is connected to the stub 4.

[0066] As Figure 1 shown, the grounding terminal 6 is tightly combined with the shielding layer of the coaxial wire 5 to form an effective electromagnetic shielding layer. This design can reduce the influence of external electromagnetic interference on the performance of the antenna 2, improve the anti-interference ability of the antenna 2, and ensure the stability and reliability of signal transmission. Among them, the setting of the grounding terminal 6 can provide a safe grounding path for the antenna structure. In harsh environments such as lightning, the grounding terminal 6 can effectively conduct the current into the ground, preventing the current from damaging the antenna 2 and other components of the vehicle, and improving the safety of the antenna structure.

[0067] Moreover, the connection between the grounding terminal 6 and the stub 4 can also enhance the coupling effect between the antenna 2 and the surrounding environment, contributing to better capturing and radiating electromagnetic waves, improving the sensitivity and efficiency of the antenna 2, and optimizing the performance of the antenna 2.

[0068] Optionally, it further includes a connection terminal 7, which is provided at one end of the antenna 2 away from the feed voltage plate 3, and the connection terminal 7 is used to connect with a vehicle body device and transmit signals.

[0069] As Figure 1 shown, the connection terminal 7 can be a conventional electrical connection device, and the connection terminal 7 is used to form an electrical connection with a vehicle body device, so as to be able to transmit signals between the antenna structure and the vehicle body device. Among them, the connection terminal 7 is provided at one end of the antenna 2 away from the feed voltage plate 3, which can also facilitate the transmission of signals.

[0070] Optionally, as Figure 2 shown, it further includes a protection structure 8, which is provided on the outer side of the body 1, and the protection structure 8 can protect the body 1 and at least part of the antenna 2. That is to say, the protection structure 8 can protect the radiator of the antenna structure, facilitating the extension of the service life of the radiator.

[0071] Optionally, the protection structure 8 includes a housing 81, and the housing 81 is provided on the outer periphery of the body 1 and covers at least part of the antenna 2.

[0072] Specifically, in one embodiment, the protection structure 8 may only include the housing 81. The housing 81 has an accommodation space, and one end of the housing 81 has an opening communicating with the accommodation space. The radiator can pass through the opening, and the accommodation space can accommodate the radiator, so as to be able to protect the radiator and facilitate the extension of the service life of the radiator.

[0073] Optionally, the protection structure 8 further includes a surrounding plate 82, and the surrounding plate 82 is arranged around the outer periphery of the body 1, and the surrounding plate 82 is hermetically connected to the housing 81.

[0074] As Figure 2 shown, in another embodiment, the protection structure 8 may further include the housing 81 and the surrounding plate 82. The housing 81 and the surrounding plate 82 are hermetically connected, and the housing 81 and the surrounding plate 82 can protect the radiator from opposite sides, thereby extending the service life of the radiator.

[0075] The present utility model also provides a vehicle, including the above-mentioned antenna structure for a vehicle, and the antenna structure can be connected to the vehicle body through a connecting rotating shaft 100.

[0076] Optionally, it includes at least one of a fuel tank cover plate and a charging cover plate, and the body 1 is the fuel tank cover plate and / or the charging cover plate. In this way, the existing structure of the vehicle can be utilized as part of the antenna structure, enabling miniaturization and integration of the antenna. At the same time, this antenna structure has good signal reception and transmission performance, capable of meeting the requirements of vehicle communication. In addition, this antenna structure also has advantages such as simple structure and convenient installation, which can reduce the cost and weight of the vehicle and improve the overall performance of the vehicle.
