  • the invention relates to an electrical connection between a signal processing Unit and an antenna structure on or in a vehicle part, in particular a vehicle window, for a vehicle, according to the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object, an electrical connection between a signal processing unit and an antenna conductor structure or in a vehicle part, in particular a vehicle window, to provide which is easy to assemble, compensates tolerances and in case of damage easily replaceable.
  • this object is achieved in that the electrical Connection between the signal processing unit and the contacting means together as a flexible contact element (flexible cable, flexible band or so-called kapton tape, flexible conductor carrier) - in the following flexible Line are trained.
  • a connection in particular a plug connection, between the contacting means and the electrical Supply line to the signal processing unit can be omitted, so that high contact resistances or contact difficulties do not have a negative effect can.
  • the carrier forms with the contacting agent in which it For example, at least one voluntary track of the flexible line is a pre-assembled unit, which depending on the installation situation at one Any part of the vehicle can be mounted.
  • the flexible line has moreover, the advantage that they are due to their extreme flat design taken up very little space and thus within the vehicle, for example under a headliner, can be laid easily. Likewise is a Tolerance compensation possible, because the flexible line a large margin in the Laying allowed. Furthermore, the flexible cable still has the advantage that they to the signal processing unit, near the adapter or even far can be arranged, can be arbitrarily moved. This can be, for example also done by folding the flexible conduit.
  • a flexible line has the usual structure, that is up a carrier layer of a non-conductive material, in particular plastic, one or more z.
  • the at least one Conductor of the flexible line exposed in the contact area that is, the Cover layer removed, so that after mounting the adapter of this contact area comes to rest at the contact surface of the antenna conductor structure.
  • the pressure element Because this pressure is permanent is maintained, is a safe contact over the life of the provided electrical connection according to the invention.
  • this is an end of the flexible conduit to the Adapters set. Therefore, the flexible pipe after assembly of the Adapters readily laid in the direction of the signal processing unit become. Alternatively, it is also conceivable, an end of the flexible line to the Specify pane antenna arrangement.
  • a pressure element acts in the region of the adapter on the flexible line. This pressure element causes the flexible line in the contact area in the required form led around the pressure element is.
  • the other end of the flexible conduit with the signal processing unit connected or with an interface of the signal processing Unit connectable.
  • the direct connection for example by doing so realized that at least one electrical trace of the flexible line with at least one conductor track or via a contact means with at least one Conductor of a circuit board of the signal processing unit insoluble, e.g. by Soldering, connected, has the advantage that contact resistance and Contact problems are avoided.
  • the signal processing can be Unit connected via the flexible cable to the adapter for contacting is to create as a pre-assembled and testable system.
  • a plug connection is provided, via which the adapter electrically and mechanically with the corresponding Plug connection (interface) to the signal processing Unit is connected.
  • a part of the circuit carrier of the signal processing unit represents.
  • the adapter has a mounting area, with him on a part of the vehicle or on the signal processing Unit is mounted, and in a particularly advantageous manner, the attachment area designed such that a movement between the part of the vehicle or the signal processing unit is executable for tolerance compensation.
  • the attachment of the invention Adapters on the part of the vehicle or at the signal processing Unit designed such that a relative movement of the adapter with respect to given the rigid attachment point. Because the rigid attachment point and the contact surface are fixed after assembly, so that by means of the adapter a tolerance compensation while contacting after assembly of the Adapters is given.

  • the antenna conductor structure 5 are therefore in a corresponding number of contact surfaces. 6 available.
  • it is in the Application of the electrical connection according to the invention not necessarily must act to a vehicle window with the antenna conductor structure, but instead of the vehicle window any flat or spatial structure can act.
