Abstract

The car roof antenna is mounted on a base (6) on the car roof and has a mechanical mechanism (11) to move the antenna (10) from a position flush with the roof to a second upright position. There is a mechanism (20) which detects the height of an obstacle relative to the car roof and determines whether the antenna tip clashes with the obstacle in the open position.

Description

La présente invention concerne une antenne, notamment de réception radio, pour un véhicule automobile.The present invention relates to an antenna, in particular radio reception, for a motor vehicle.

Les véhicules automobiles sont généralement livrés avec un ensemble de pré-équipement radio qui comprend notamment une antenne fixée sur un élément de la carrosserie et de plus en plus sur le pavillon du véhicule.Motor vehicles are generally delivered with a set of radio pre-equipment which includes in particular an antenna fixed to an element of the body and more and more on the roof of the vehicle.

Pour cela, l'antenne comporte un support se présentant sous la forme d'une embase qui est rapportée sur le pavillon et vissée de l'intérieur du véhicule.For this, the antenna includes a support having in the form of a base which is attached to the roof and screwed from inside the vehicle.

Pour pouvoir bénéficier d'une bonne réception de la radio, il est nécessaire d'avoir une inclinaison optimisée de l'antenne par rapport au pavillon du véhicule.To be able to receive good reception from radio, it is necessary to have an optimized tilt antenna in relation to the vehicle roof.

En effet, l'antenne doit être plus ou moins inclinée selon sa longueur de telle manière que la distance entre le pavillon et l'extrémité libre de cette antenne soit de l'ordre de 300mm afin d'obtenir une réception de la radio dans les meilleures conditions possibles.Indeed, the antenna must be more or less inclined according to its length so that the distance between the roof and the free end of this antenna either around 300mm in order to get radio reception in the best possible conditions.

Ainsi, pour obtenir une bonne réception de la radio, l'antenne forme avec le pavillon du véhicule un angle assez important ce qui augmente la hauteur du véhicule si bien que l'antenne peut facilement entrer en contact avec des obstacles lors du déplacement du véhicule, comme par exemple des entrées de garage ou des barres de calibrage d'entrée de parking.So to get good reception of the radio, the antenna forms an angle with the vehicle roof quite important which increases the height of the vehicle if although the antenna can easily come into contact with obstacles when moving the vehicle, such as example of driveways or calibration bars parking entrance.

Par- conséquent, en milieu urbain, il arrive fréquemment que l'antenne vienne taper sur un. obstacle et provoque une mise en résonance de celle-ci qui se caractérise par un bruit désagréable à l'intérieur du véhicule ou un risque de dégradation de l'antenne.Therefore, in urban areas, it happens frequently let the antenna hit a. obstacle and causes a resonance of this which is characterized by an unpleasant noise inside the vehicle or a risk of antenna degradation.

L'invention a pour but de proposer une antenne de véhicule automobile qui évite les inconvénients précédemment mentionnés.The object of the invention is to propose an antenna of motor vehicle which avoids the disadvantages previously mentioned.

L'invention a donc pour objet une antenne de véhicule automobile montée sur une embase munie d'organes de fixation sur le pavillon dudit véhicule automobile, caractérisée en ce que l'embase comporte un élément de déplacement angulaire de l'antenne entre une première position écartée du pavillon et une seconde position rabattue sur ce pavillon, commandé par des moyens de détection d'un obstacle de hauteur, par rapport au pavillon, inférieure à la distance séparant l'extrémité de l'antenne et ledit pavillon dans la première position de cette antenne.The invention therefore relates to a vehicle antenna automobile mounted on a base fitted with attachment to the roof of said motor vehicle, characterized in that the base has a displacement element angle of the antenna between a first spaced position of the roof and a second position folded over this roof, controlled by obstacle detection means in height, relative to the pavilion, less than the distance separating the end of the antenna and said pavilion in the first position of this antenna.

Selon d'autres caractéristiques de l'invention :

  • l'élément de déplacement angulaire de l'antenne est formé par un moteur électrique dont l'arbre de sortie est muni d'un pignon engrenant avec un pignon monté sur un axe horizontal porté par l'embase et solidaire en rotation de ladite antenne,
  • les moyens de détection d'un obstacle comprennent un capteur de proximité disposé sur le pavillon devant ladite antenne,
  • les moyens de détection d'un obstacle comprennent un premier capteur de proximité disposé sur le pavillon devant l'antenne et un second capteur de proximité disposé derrière ladite antenne.
According to other characteristics of the invention:
  • the angular displacement element of the antenna is formed by an electric motor, the output shaft of which is provided with a pinion meshing with a pinion mounted on a horizontal axis carried by the base and integral in rotation with said antenna,
  • the obstacle detection means include a proximity sensor placed on the roof in front of said antenna,
  • the obstacle detection means comprise a first proximity sensor disposed on the roof in front of the antenna and a second proximity sensor disposed behind said antenna.

Les caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention apparaítront au cours de la description qui va suivre, donnée à titre d'exemple et faite en référence aux dessins annexés, sur lesquels :

  • la Fig. 1 est une vue schématique en coupe longitudinale d'un support d'une antenne de véhicule automobile, conforme à l'invention,
  • la Fig. 2 est une vue schématique en coupe selon la ligne 2-2 de la Fig. 1.
The characteristics and advantages of the invention will appear during the description which follows, given by way of example and made with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
  • Fig. 1 is a schematic view in longitudinal section of a support for a motor vehicle antenna, in accordance with the invention,
  • Fig. 2 is a schematic sectional view along line 2-2 of FIG. 1.

Sur la Fig.1, on a représenté schématiquement une portion d'un pavillon 1 d'un véhicule automobile, sur la partie avant duquel est monté un pare-brise 2 par l'intermédiaire d'un joint d'étanchéité 3.In Fig. 1, there is shown schematically a portion of a roof 1 of a motor vehicle, on the front part of which a windshield 2 is mounted via a seal 3.

Sur la face interne du pavillon 1 est prévu un garnissage 4 qui ménage avec ladite face un espace interne 5 pour le passage par exemple de câbles électriques ou pour le positionnement d'organes de fixation de divers accessoires.On the internal face of the pavilion 1 is provided a lining 4 which provides an internal space 5 with said face for the passage for example of electric cables or for the positioning of fasteners for various accessories.

Sur le pavillon 1 du véhicule automobile est monté un support d'une antenne 10 et qui comprend une embase 6.On pavilion 1 of the motor vehicle is mounted a support for an antenna 10 and which comprises a base 6.

L'embase 6 est munie d'organes de fixation, non représentés, sur le pavillon 1 de ce véhicule automobile.The base 6 is provided with fixing members, not shown, on the pavilion 1 of this motor vehicle.

Ainsi, que représenté à la Fig. 1, l'antenne 10 est déplaçable angulairement, d'une part, entre une première position écartée du pavillon 1 pour une bonne réception de la radio et représentée en trait plein sur cette figure et, d'autre part, une seconde position rabattue sur ce pavillon 1 et représentée en pointillés.Thus, as shown in FIG. 1, antenna 10 is angularly movable, on the one hand, between a first position removed from flag 1 for good reception of the radio and shown in full line in this figure and, on the other hand, a second position folded down on this roof 1 and shown in dotted lines.

A cet effet, l'embase 6 comporte un élément 11 de déplacement angulaire de l'antenne 10 entre les deux positions, commandé par des moyens 20 de détection d'un obstacle A de hauteur, par rapport au pavillon 1, inférieure à la distance dl séparant l'extrémité de l'antenne 10 et ledit pavillon 1 dans la première position de cette antenne 10.For this purpose, the base 6 includes an element 11 angular displacement of the antenna 10 between the two positions, controlled by an obstacle detection means 20 A of height, with respect to pavilion 1, less than the distance dl separating the end of the antenna 10 and said flag 1 in the first position of this antenna 10.

Comme représenté notamment à la Fig. 2, l'élément 11 de déplacement angulaire de l'antenne 10 est formé par un moteur électrique 12 dont l'arbre de sortie 12a est muni d'un pignon 13 engrenant avec un pignon 14 monté sur un axe horizontal 15 porté par l'embase 6 et solidaire en rotation avec l'antenne 10.As shown in particular in FIG. 2, the element 11 of angular displacement of the antenna 10 is formed by an electric motor 12 whose output shaft 12a is provided with a pinion 13 meshing with a pinion 14 mounted on a horizontal axis 15 carried by the base 6 and integral in rotation with antenna 10.

L'ensemble formé par le moteur 12 et le pignon 13 est fixé, par des moyens appropriés non représentés, sur la face interne du pavillon 1 et entre ledit pavillon 1 et le garnissage 4.The assembly formed by the motor 12 and the pinion 13 is fixed, by suitable means not shown, on the internal face of pavilion 1 and between said pavilion 1 and the packing 4.

Les moyens 20 de détection de l'obstacle A comprennent un capteur de proximité 21 disposé sur le pavillon 1 devant l'antenne 10. The means 20 for detecting the obstacle A comprise a proximity sensor 21 disposed on the roof 1 in front of the antenna 10.

Dans l'exemple de réalisation représenté sur les figures, le capteur de proximité 21 est implanté dans la partie avant de l'embase 6.In the embodiment shown on the Figures, the proximity sensor 21 is located in the front part of base 6.

Ainsi que représenté à la Fig. 1, ce capteur de proximité 21 émet un champ de détection qui se présente, par exemple, sous la forme d'un cône dont l'angle a et la hauteur d2 représentent les valeurs de ce champ et qui sont paramétrables.As shown in FIG. 1, this sensor proximity 21 emits a detection field which presents itself, for example, in the form of a cone whose angle a and height d2 represent the values of this field and which are configurable.

Lors du déplacement du véhicule, le capteur de proximité 21 émet vers le haut un champ de détection devant l'antenne 10 qui est en position écartée du pavillon 1, comme représentée en trait plein à la Fig. 1.When the vehicle is moving, the proximity 21 emits a detection field upwards the antenna 10 which is in the position away from the flag 1, as shown in solid lines in FIG. 1.

Tant que le capteur de proximité 21 ne détecte pas la présence de l'obstacle A, le moteur électrique 12 n'est pas alimenté et l'antenne 10 demeure dans cette position.As long as the proximity sensor 21 does not detect not the presence of obstacle A, the electric motor 12 is not supplied and the antenna 10 remains in this position.

Dès que l'obstacle A entre dans le champ de détection émis par le capteur de proximité 21, ce dernier commande le moteur électrique 12 pour entraíner en rotation l'arbre de sortie 12a et le pignon 13.As soon as obstacle A enters the detection field emitted by the proximity sensor 21, the latter commands the electric motor 12 to drive in rotation the output shaft 12a and the pinion 13.

Le pignon 13 entraíne le pignon 14 ainsi que l'axe 15 ce qui a pour effet de déplacer angulairement l'antenne 10 vers le bas de façon à l'amener dans la position rabat-tue sur le pavillon 1, comme représentée en pointillés à la Fig. 1.The pinion 13 drives the pinion 14 as well as axis 15 which has the effect of angularly moving the antenna 10 down so as to bring it into position flap kills flag 1, as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 1.

Tant que le capteur de proximité 21 détecte la présence de l'obstacle A, l'antenne 10 reste dans sa position rabattue contre la pavillon 1 de telle manière qu'elle ne tape pas contre cet obstacle A pendant le déplacement du véhicule.As long as the proximity sensor 21 detects the presence of obstacle A, antenna 10 remains in its position folded back against roof 1 so that it do not hit this obstacle A during the movement of the vehicle.

Après le passage de cet obstacle A et dans le cas où le capteur de proximité 21 ne détecte pas un autre obstacle, ce capteur de proximité 21 émet un signal de commande du moteur 12 qui entraíne, en sens inverse, l'arbre de sortie 12a et le pignon 13.After the passage of this obstacle A and in the case where the proximity sensor 21 does not detect another obstacle, this proximity sensor 21 emits a control signal motor 12 which drives, in reverse, the shaft of outlet 12a and the pinion 13.

La rotation en sens inverse de ce pignon 13 provoque par l'intermédiaire du pignon 14 et de l'axe 15 le pivotement de l'antenne 10 de façon à la ramener dans sa position écartée du pavillon 1 afin d'obtenir une réception de la radio dans les meilleurs conditions.The opposite rotation of this pinion 13 causes through the pinion 14 and the axis 15 the pivoting antenna 10 so as to return it to its position removed from Pavilion 1 to obtain a reception of the radio in the best conditions.

Le basculement en sens inverse de l'antenne 10 pour la ramener dans la position écartée du pavillon 1 est commandé par le capteur de proximité 21 après un temps prédéterminé de façon à permettre le passage de l'obstacle A.The tilting in the opposite direction of the antenna 10 to bring it back to the position away from the roof 1 is controlled by the proximity sensor 21 after a predetermined time so as to allow the passage of obstacle A.

Selon une variante, les moyens de détection d'un obstacle comprennent un premier capteur de proximité 21 disposé sur le pavillon 1 devant l'antenne 10 et un second capteur de proximité 22 disposé derrière ladite antenne 10.According to a variant, the means for detecting a obstacle include a first proximity sensor 21 disposed on roof 1 in front of antenna 10 and a second sensor proximity 22 disposed behind said antenna 10.

Ainsi, le capteur de proximité 21 commande le basculement de l'antenne 10 dans le cas de la détection d'un obstacle lors de la marche avant du véhicule et le capteur de proximité 22 commande le basculement de cette antenne 10 dans le cas de la détection d'un obstacle lors de la marche arrière de ce véhicule automobile.Thus, the proximity sensor 21 controls the tilting of the antenna 10 in the case of the detection of a obstacle when driving the vehicle and the sensor proximity 22 controls the tilting of this antenna 10 in the event of an obstacle being detected while walking rear of this motor vehicle.

Des organes appropriés sont prévus pour arrêter le moteur lorsque l'antenne est dans l'une ou l'autre des positions.Appropriate bodies are provided to arrest the engine when the antenna is in one or other of the positions.

Les différents éléments composant l'antenne peuvent être de type modulaire ce qui permet de conserver les procédés de montage utilisés jusqu'à présent pour les antennes traditionnelles.The different elements making up the antenna can be of modular type which allows to keep the mounting methods used so far for antennas traditional.

Le dispositif permet donc d'éviter la collision entre l'antenne et un obstacle éventuel, supprimant ainsi les nuisances sonores pour les occupants du véhicule dans le cas où cette antenne tape contre un obstacle et évitant également les risques de dégradations de l'antenne de réception radio.The device therefore makes it possible to avoid the collision between the antenna and a possible obstacle, thus removing noise pollution for the occupants of the vehicle in the case this antenna taps against an obstacle and also avoiding the risks of damage to the reception antenna radio.
