[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a hands-free telephone radio telephone system for automobiles.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 2 is a schematic block diagram showing a wireless telephone device for automobiles of a hands-free call system. As shown in FIG. 2, a microphone unit 1 for inputting a transmission voice and a speaker unit 2 for outputting a reception voice are connected to a suppression circuit unit 4 for suppressing sounds such as sounds of the wireless telephone device body 3, and The radio telephone circuit 5 is connected to the antenna 6.

The operation of the above configuration will be described below. The voice uttered by the driver (speaker / receiver) 7 is converted into an electric signal by the microphone unit 1, is input to the wireless telephone circuit 5 through the suppression circuit unit 4, and is transmitted from the antenna 6 to the other party as an electromagnetic wave. On the other hand, a signal received by the wireless telephone circuit 5 via the antenna 6 as an electromagnetic wave passes through the suppression circuit unit 4 and the speaker unit 2
Is output as a received voice and reaches the ear of the driver 7. Then, the suppression circuit unit 4 can suppress the ringing sound and the like generated by the acoustic coupling between the microphone unit 1 and the speaker unit 2.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing a conventional hands-free telephone radio telephone apparatus for an automobile, which is installed in the automobile. As shown in FIG. 3, the microphone unit 1 is provided in the vicinity of a driver's seat 11 in an automobile, in the illustrated example, a driver's seat 11 on a windshield 12.
It is supported by a awning 13 installed in the upper part in front of. The microphone unit 1 is connected to a wireless telephone device body 3 installed at a desired location by a microphone cable 14 wired along a wall surface of an automobile or the like, and a voice uttered by a driver is wirelessly transmitted via the microphone cable 14. Input is made to the telephone device body 3. A speaker unit 2 is installed in the center of the vehicle near the driver's seat 11, the speaker unit 2 is connected to a wireless telephone device body 3 by a speaker cable 15, and a signal received by the wireless telephone device body 3 is a speaker cable. Audio is output from the speaker unit 2 via 15. A cigar lighter socket 16 is installed in the center of the vehicle near the driver's seat 11, and the cigar lighter socket 16 has a power plug 1 at one end of a power cable 17.
8 is connected, and the other end of the power cable 17 is connected to the wireless telephone device body 3. Therefore, power is supplied from the cigarette lighter socket 16 to the wireless telephone device body 3 via the power cable 17.

The microphone unit 1 does not disturb the driving operation of the driver, such as the vicinity of the steering column 20 supporting the steering wheel 19 in addition to the position of the shade 13, and the voice of the driver It will be installed in a place where data can be entered. Further, the speaker unit 2 is also installed under the same conditions as the microphone unit 1 except the above installation place.

[0006]

The cigar lighter socket 16, the microphone unit 1 and the speaker unit 2 are connected to the outside from the radio telephone main body 3 in the automobile.
Among them, the microphone cable 14 is longer than the other power cable 17 and the speaker cable 15 among them, so that it is necessary to wire the microphone cable 14 so as not to disturb the driving operation of the driver. Therefore, the microphone cable 14 is fixed so as not to obstruct the driver's field of view and to prevent it from coming off due to a vibration or the like during traveling. However, this wiring work is troublesome, and if the microphone cable 14 comes off the fixed portion due to a vibration during traveling or the like, it hinders the driving operation. Further, since the wireless telephone device main body 3 is supplied with power from the cigarette lighter socket 16 in the vehicle, the power cable 17 is required in order to use the vehicle wireless telephone device in another vehicle. It is impossible to fix with. On the other hand, the speaker 2 and the speaker cable 15 are always connected to the wireless telephone device body 3 for carrying the automobile wireless telephone device in another vehicle, but they should be taken so as not to disturb the driving operation. Since it is necessary to install the speaker 2 and fix the speaker cable 15, the work is troublesome. Further, if the speaker unit 2 and the speaker cable 15 come off due to a vibration during traveling, there is a problem that the driving operation is disturbed and it is dangerous.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems of the prior art and improves the workability of installation by eliminating the work of wiring a microphone cable and the work of installing a speaker unit and the work of installing a speaker cable. It is an object of the present invention to provide a wireless telephone device for an automobile capable of avoiding interference with driving operation.

[0008]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a microphone unit for inputting a voice transmission to a plug connected to a cigarette lighter socket installed near a driver's seat in an automobile. A plug having an integrated microphone unit is connected to the main body of the wireless telephone device by a cable for power supply and voice input, and a speaker unit for outputting a received voice is built in the main body of the wireless telephone device.

[0009]

Therefore, according to the present invention, since the microphone unit is integrated with the plug for connecting to the cigarette lighter socket, the wiring work of the microphone cable can be dispensed with, and the speaker unit can be installed in the main body of the wireless telephone device. Since it is built in, installation work of the speaker unit and wiring work of the speaker cable can be eliminated.
