Description

本発明は、アンテナ付き窓ガラス、アンテナ付き車両用窓ガラスおよび車両に関する。 The present invention relates to a window glass with an antenna, a window glass for a vehicle with an antenna, and a vehicle.

車両が地上デジタル放送、各種ラジオ放送、ITS(Intelligent Transport System;高度道路交通システム)等の電波のように、各種の放送波を受信することが一般的になっている。このような状況では、電波を受信するアンテナの役割が重要となっている。近年は、アンテナと車両用窓ガラスを一体化し、周辺電子部品と組み合わせることで、効果的に電波情報を取得するアンテナ付き車両用窓ガラスが普及しつつある。このようなアンテナは、一般的なポールアンテナに比べメンテナンス性、耐久性にすぐれ、軽量化が可能である。また、アンテナと車両用窓ガラスを一体化することにより、突起物をなくし、車両のデザインを損なうこともないため、情報通信を実現する手段として採用が拡大している。 It is common for vehicles to receive various broadcast waves such as terrestrial digital broadcasts, various radio broadcasts, and radio waves such as ITS (Intelligent Transport System). In such a situation, the role of the antenna that receives radio waves is important. In recent years, vehicle windowpanes with antennas that effectively acquire radio wave information by integrating an antenna and a vehicle windowpane and combining them with peripheral electronic components have become widespread. Such an antenna is superior in maintainability and durability to a general pole antenna, and can be reduced in weight. In addition, by integrating the antenna and the window glass for the vehicle, the protrusions are eliminated and the design of the vehicle is not impaired, so that the adoption is expanding as a means for realizing information communication.

上述した様に、アンテナ付き車両用窓ガラスは優れた点を有するが、周囲の金属製の車体によりアンテナの指向性が影響を受け、車両の種類によっては、自由に指向性を設定することが難しくなるという課題がある。尚、このような課題は、取り付け対象が車両ではない建築物等のアンテナ付き窓ガラスでも同様に存在する。 As mentioned above, windowpanes for vehicles with antennas have excellent points, but the directivity of the antenna is affected by the surrounding metal body, and depending on the type of vehicle, the directivity can be set freely. There is a problem that it becomes difficult. It should be noted that such a problem also exists in a window glass with an antenna such as a building whose mounting target is not a vehicle.

上述のような課題に着目し、特許文献1は、車体の金属部の近くに設置されるガラスアンテナであっても、車体の金属部の影響を受けずに、ある一方向に強い指向性を持つ広帯域の自動車用高周波ガラスアンテナを開示している。自動車の窓ガラスの表面に設けられ、高周波帯域の電波を送受信するガラスアンテナにおいて、車体の金属部の近くに設けられ、車体の金属部に近接する一端より給電されるアンテナ線と、前記アンテナ線の近傍に配置され、指向性と受信感度の周波数特性とを調整するための無給電線を備え、前記アンテナ線は、複数本の平行に延びる平行導体線と、該平行導体線のそれぞれの一端を結合する結合導体線を備える。 Focusing on the above-mentioned problems, Patent Document 1 provides strong directivity in a certain direction without being affected by the metal part of the vehicle body even if the glass antenna is installed near the metal part of the vehicle body. It discloses a wideband high-frequency glass antenna for automobiles. In a glass antenna provided on the surface of a window glass of an automobile to transmit and receive radio waves in a high frequency band, an antenna wire provided near a metal part of the vehicle body and fed from one end close to the metal part of the vehicle body, and the antenna wire. The antenna wire is arranged in the vicinity of the antenna and includes a non-feeding wire for adjusting the frequency characteristics of the directivity and the reception sensitivity. The antenna wire includes a plurality of parallel conductor wires extending in parallel and one end of each of the parallel conductor wires. It is provided with a connecting conductor wire to be bonded.

特許文献1に開示の技術は、たとえアンテナが車体の金属部の近くに設けられても、無給電線を用いて指向性と受信感度の周波数特性を調整し、水平方向または所望の仰角方向にも指向性を持った自動車用高周波ガラスアンテナを得ることを狙っている。 The technique disclosed in Patent Document 1 adjusts the frequency characteristics of directivity and reception sensitivity by using a non-feeding wire even if the antenna is provided near the metal part of the vehicle body, and can be used in the horizontal direction or the desired elevation angle direction. The aim is to obtain a high-frequency glass antenna for automobiles that has directivity.

しかしながら、特許文献1の構成によれば、無給電線等の追加の部材をガラスに搭載する必要があり、設計の自由度、製造コスト、美観等の観点から問題が生ずるおそれがある。また、給電素子は周波数依存性を有するため、アンテナが受信する電波の周波数により設計を見直す必要があり、設計に手間がかかることが予想される。 However, according to the configuration of Patent Document 1, it is necessary to mount an additional member such as a non-feeding wire on the glass, which may cause problems from the viewpoints of design freedom, manufacturing cost, aesthetics, and the like. Further, since the feeding element has frequency dependence, it is necessary to review the design according to the frequency of the radio wave received by the antenna, and it is expected that the design will take time and effort.

以下、図面を参照して、本発明を実施するための形態の説明を行う。なお、形態を説明するための図面において、方向について特に記載のない場合には図面上での方向をいうものとし、各図面の基準の方向は、記号、数字の方向に対応する。また、平行、直角などの方向は、本発明の効果を損なわない程度のズレを許容するものである。また、本発明が適用可能な車両用窓ガラスとして、例えば、車両の前部に取り付けられるフロントガラスが挙げられる。なお、車両用窓ガラスは、車両の後部に取り付けられるリヤガラス、車両の側部に取り付けられるサイドガラス、車両の天井部に取り付けられるルーフガラスなどでもよい。 Hereinafter, embodiments for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the drawings for explaining the form, unless otherwise specified, the directions are the directions on the drawings, and the reference directions of each drawing correspond to the directions of symbols and numbers. Further, the directions such as parallel and right angle allow the deviation to the extent that the effect of the present invention is not impaired. Further, examples of the window glass for a vehicle to which the present invention can be applied include a windshield attached to the front portion of the vehicle. The window glass for the vehicle may be a rear glass attached to the rear portion of the vehicle, a side glass attached to the side portion of the vehicle, a roof glass attached to the ceiling portion of the vehicle, or the like.

図1は一般的なアンテナ付き車両用窓ガラスを示し、図1(a)はアンテナ付き車両用窓ガラス(アンテナ付き窓ガラス)10のみの斜視図を示し、特にその周囲に何も配置されていない状態での斜視図を示す。車両用窓ガラスは、その端部の形状がコ字状(U字状)、つまり側面の形状が車両用窓ガラスの厚さ方向と平行な形状になっている。アンテナ付き車両用窓ガラス10は車両用窓ガラス(窓ガラス)1にアンテナ3が配置されて構成される。尚、本例はあくまでアンテナ付き車両用窓ガラス10を模式的に示すものであり、実際に使用される形状のものを示すわけではない。 FIG. 1 shows a general window glass for a vehicle with an antenna, and FIG. 1 (a) shows a perspective view of only the window glass for a vehicle with an antenna (window glass with an antenna) 10 in particular, and nothing is arranged around the window glass. The perspective view in the absence state is shown. The shape of the end of the window glass for a vehicle is U-shaped (U-shaped), that is, the shape of the side surface is parallel to the thickness direction of the window glass for a vehicle. The vehicle window glass 10 with an antenna is configured by arranging the antenna 3 on the vehicle window glass (window glass) 1. It should be noted that this example merely schematically shows the window glass 10 for a vehicle with an antenna, and does not show the shape actually used.

実際の使用状況では、アンテナ付き車両用窓ガラス10は、車両の金属製の車体に取り付けられている。図1(b)は、このような実際の使用状況を想定し、図1(a)と同じ形状の車両窓ガラスを有するアンテナ付き車両用窓ガラス10の周囲に、金属製の金属枠5が配置された状態の斜視図を示す。なお、車両の車体は金属製の部材に限定されず、例えば、導電性樹脂、導電性の物質が表面に成膜された樹脂など、導電性部材であればよい。 In an actual usage situation, the window glass 10 for a vehicle with an antenna is attached to a metal body of the vehicle. In FIG. 1 (b), assuming such an actual usage situation, a metal frame 5 made of metal is formed around a vehicle window glass 10 with an antenna having a vehicle window glass having the same shape as that in FIG. 1 (a). The perspective view of the arranged state is shown. The vehicle body is not limited to a metal member, and may be a conductive member such as a conductive resin or a resin having a conductive substance formed on the surface thereof.

図示せぬ給電点から高周波電力がアンテナ3に供給され、さらにアンテナ3から放射される電波は、車両用窓ガラス1の縁部に向かって、表面波として伝播し縁部に入射する(入射波)。ここで、縁部において反射された反射波が、アンテナ3からの入射波と重なって定在波となり、アンテナの利得を減少させてしまうことが知られている。さらに、縁部からガラス外部へ漏れ出す電波の成分は、縁部にある車体などの金属筐体により再放射するため、アンテナ3との干渉によりアンテナ利得を減少させたり、指向性形状を大きく変化させるなどの弊害をもたらす可能性がある。 High-frequency power is supplied to the antenna 3 from a feeding point (not shown), and the radio wave radiated from the antenna 3 propagates as a surface wave toward the edge of the vehicle window glass 1 and is incident on the edge (incident wave). ). Here, it is known that the reflected wave reflected at the edge portion overlaps with the incident wave from the antenna 3 to become a standing wave, which reduces the gain of the antenna. Further, since the radio wave component leaking from the edge to the outside of the glass is re-radiated by the metal housing such as the vehicle body at the edge, the antenna gain is reduced due to the interference with the antenna 3, and the directivity shape is greatly changed. There is a possibility of causing harmful effects such as causing.

特許文献1においては、無給電線が給電線(アンテナ線)の近傍に配置され、指向性と受信感度の周波数特性とを調整する働きをする。この結果、車両の正面方向に強い指向性を実現している。 In Patent Document 1, a non-feeding line is arranged in the vicinity of the feeding line (antenna line), and functions to adjust the directivity and the frequency characteristic of the receiving sensitivity. As a result, strong directivity is realized in the front direction of the vehicle.

ただし、特許文献1の方法は、無給電線等の追加の部材をガラスに搭載する必要があり、設計の自由度等の観点から問題を抱えている。また、給電素子は周波数依存性を有するため、アンテナが受信する電波の周波数により設計を見直す必要があり、設計に手間がかかることが予想される。 However, the method of Patent Document 1 requires that an additional member such as a non-feeding wire is mounted on the glass, and has a problem from the viewpoint of design freedom and the like. Further, since the feeding element has frequency dependence, it is necessary to review the design according to the frequency of the radio wave received by the antenna, and it is expected that the design will take time and effort.

発明者は上記のような問題点について検討し、特に車両用窓ガラスの縁部に所定の加工を施すという簡易な方法により、上記の問題を容易に解決し得ることを見出した。 The inventor examined the above-mentioned problems and found that the above-mentioned problems could be easily solved by a simple method of applying a predetermined process to the edge of the window glass for a vehicle.

図2は、本発明の一実施形態のアンテナ付き車両用窓ガラス10を示す。図2(a)に示すように、実施形態のアンテナ付き車両用窓ガラス10では、車両用窓ガラス1の縁部(周縁から所定の距離Dの領域)7が斜めにカットされ、車両用窓ガラス1の側面がテーパー面7aを画定している。そして図2(b)に示すように、テーパー面7aには、断面が三角形形状の金属部材(導電性部材)11が、接着剤を介して配置されている。 FIG. 2 shows a vehicle window glass 10 with an antenna according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2A, in the vehicle window glass 10 with an antenna of the embodiment, the edge portion (region of a predetermined distance D from the peripheral edge) 7 of the vehicle window glass 1 is cut diagonally to form a vehicle window. The side surface of the glass 1 defines the tapered surface 7a. Then, as shown in FIG. 2B, a metal member (conductive member) 11 having a triangular cross section is arranged on the tapered surface 7a via an adhesive.

車両用窓ガラス1は、一の主面である第1面1Aと、この第1面1Aに対向する他の主面である第2面1Bを有しており、車両への取り付け時は、第1面1Aが車両の外側に向き、第2面1Bが車両の内側(室内側)に向くように取り付けられる。アンテナ3は、第2面1Bに設けられており、本例では第2面1Bがアンテナ3の取付面となっている。第2そして、テーパー面7aは、車両用窓ガラス1の第2面1Bから第1面1Aの方向で、車両用窓ガラス1の平面視における外側に傾斜するように形成されている。 The vehicle window glass 1 has a first surface 1A, which is one main surface, and a second surface 1B, which is another main surface facing the first surface 1A. The first surface 1A is attached so as to face the outside of the vehicle, and the second surface 1B faces the inside (indoor side) of the vehicle. The antenna 3 is provided on the second surface 1B, and in this example, the second surface 1B is the mounting surface of the antenna 3. The second tapered surface 7a is formed so as to be inclined outward in the plan view of the vehicle window glass 1 in the direction from the second surface 1B to the first surface 1A of the vehicle window glass 1.

この様な構成においては、図2(b)に示すように、表面波E1として車両用窓ガラス1の内部を伝播して縁部7に向かうアンテナ3からの電波が、テーパー面7aに入射するとともに、テーパー面7aおよびテーパー面7aに設けられた金属部材11によって反射される。 In such a configuration, as shown in FIG. 2B, radio waves from the antenna 3 propagating inside the vehicle window glass 1 as surface waves E1 and heading toward the edge 7 are incident on the tapered surface 7a. At the same time, it is reflected by the tapered surface 7a and the metal member 11 provided on the tapered surface 7a.

テーパー面7aは、第2面1Bから第1面1Aの方向で、外側に傾斜するように形成されている。したがって反射された電波は、第2面1Bから第1面1Aの方向へ反射される。そして、反射された電波は、車両用窓ガラス1の外部へ放射波E2として放射されることになる。この放射波E2は、車両用窓ガラス1の第1面1Aから、車両の外側に向かって、第1面1Aから垂直方向に近い方向に放射されるため、好ましい指向性を持っている。 The tapered surface 7a is formed so as to incline outward in the direction from the second surface 1B to the first surface 1A. Therefore, the reflected radio wave is reflected in the direction from the second surface 1B to the first surface 1A. Then, the reflected radio wave is radiated as a radiated wave E2 to the outside of the vehicle window glass 1. This radiated wave E2 has a preferable directivity because it is radiated from the first surface 1A of the window glass 1 for the vehicle toward the outside of the vehicle in a direction close to the vertical direction from the first surface 1A.

図2(c)は、この様な作用を奏する車両用窓ガラス1の構造、特に縁部における側面7a(本例ではテーパー面7a)とアンテナ3との位置関係を示す断面図である。本実施形態においては、アンテナ3から側面7aに向かう任意の一の方向を定義する。ここで、第1の距離Aが、アンテナ3から車両用窓ガラス1の一端または金属部材11の一端までの、この一の方向に沿った距離に基づき得られる。 FIG. 2C is a cross-sectional view showing the structure of the window glass 1 for a vehicle that exerts such an action, particularly the positional relationship between the side surface 7a (tapered surface 7a in this example) and the antenna 3 at the edge portion. In this embodiment, any one direction from the antenna 3 toward the side surface 7a is defined. Here, the first distance A is obtained based on the distance along this one direction from the antenna 3 to one end of the vehicle window glass 1 or one end of the metal member 11.

さらにアンテナ3を車両用窓ガラス1の厚さ方向に投影することにより、取付面(本例では第2面1B)とは逆側の対向面(本例では第1面1A)において、仮想アンテナ3aが得られる。ここで、第2の距離Bが、このような仮想アンテナ3aから車両用窓ガラス1の一端または金属部材11の一端までの、この一の方向に沿った距離に基づき得られる。すなわち本実施形態では、一の方向とは、図面上の第1の距離Aおよび第2の距離Bの線に沿った方向である。 Further, by projecting the antenna 3 in the thickness direction of the vehicle window glass 1, the virtual antenna is formed on the opposite surface (first surface 1A in this example) opposite to the mounting surface (second surface 1B in this example). 3a is obtained. Here, the second distance B is obtained based on the distance along this one direction from such a virtual antenna 3a to one end of the vehicle window glass 1 or one end of the metal member 11. That is, in the present embodiment, the one direction is the direction along the lines of the first distance A and the second distance B on the drawing.

本発明のアンテナ付き車両用窓ガラス10の車両用窓ガラス1では、上述した第1の距離Aと第2の距離Bが異なっている(A≠B)。この結果、車両の外側に向かって放射される好ましい放射波E2を得ることができる。特に本実施形態では、第1の距離Aより第2の距離Bが大きい(A<B)。 In the vehicle window glass 1 of the vehicle window glass 10 with an antenna of the present invention, the first distance A and the second distance B described above are different (A ≠ B). As a result, a preferable radiated wave E2 radiated toward the outside of the vehicle can be obtained. In particular, in the present embodiment, the second distance B is larger than the first distance A (A <B).

すなわち、本実施形態の金属部材11、さらには、側面(テーパー面)7aは、アンテナ3から発信された電波を車両用窓ガラス1の一の主面の側へ伝播させる作用を持っている。 That is, the metal member 11 and the side surface (tapered surface) 7a of the present embodiment have an action of propagating the radio waves transmitted from the antenna 3 to the side of one main surface of the vehicle window glass 1.

図3(a)及び図3(b)は、アンテナ3を側方視したときの仰角方向(図面の面内方向)の指向性のシミュレーション結果を示すチャートである。シミュレーションには、FDTD(Finite-difference time-domain)法を用いた。実線は印刷などの手法により、アンテナ3を直接(隙間なく)車両用窓ガラス1に設けたサンプルのチャートを示し、破線は所定の間隔(ここでは5mm)を設けて、車両用窓ガラス1上にアンテナ3を設けたサンプルのチャートを示す。利得の単位はdBである。また、アンテナ3への入力電圧は1V、指向性の周波数は5.8GHzに設定されている。 3A and 3B are charts showing the simulation results of the directivity in the elevation angle direction (in-plane direction in the drawing) when the antenna 3 is viewed sideways. The FDTD (Finite-difference time-domain) method was used for the simulation. The solid line shows a chart of a sample in which the antenna 3 is directly (without a gap) provided on the vehicle window glass 1 by a method such as printing, and the broken line indicates a predetermined interval (here, 5 mm) on the vehicle window glass 1. The chart of the sample provided with the antenna 3 is shown. The unit of gain is dB. The input voltage to the antenna 3 is set to 1 V, and the directivity frequency is set to 5.8 GHz.

図3(a)は、図1(b)のアンテナ付き車両用窓ガラス10のチャートを示す。本図から明らかなように、実線、破線どちらも指向性に乱れが生じており、良い指向性が得られていないことが理解される。 FIG. 3A shows a chart of the window glass 10 for a vehicle with an antenna of FIG. 1B. As is clear from this figure, it is understood that both the solid line and the broken line have disordered directivity, and good directivity is not obtained.

一方、図3(b)は、図2の実施形態のアンテナ付き車両用窓ガラス10のチャートを示す。本図から明らかなように、実線、破線どちらも利得の指向性に乱れが少なく、特にチャートの下側方向に強い指向性を持っている。図2(b)の例の様に、チャートの下側方向が車両の外側方向になるようにアンテナ付き車両用窓ガラス10を車両に取り付けることにより、良好なアンテナ特性を得られることが理解できる。 On the other hand, FIG. 3B shows a chart of the window glass 10 for a vehicle with an antenna according to the embodiment of FIG. As is clear from this figure, both the solid line and the broken line have little disturbance in the directivity of the gain, and have a particularly strong directivity toward the lower side of the chart. It can be understood that good antenna characteristics can be obtained by attaching the window glass 10 for a vehicle with an antenna to the vehicle so that the lower side of the chart faces the outside of the vehicle as in the example of FIG. 2B. ..

車両用窓ガラス1を製造する方法にはフロート法、フュージョン法等があるが、特に限定されない。また、車両用窓ガラス1で使用されるガラス板の組成の一例としては、酸化物基準のモル%で表示した組成で、SiOを50〜80%、Bを0〜10%、Alを0.1〜25%、LiO+NaO+KOを3〜30%、MgOを0〜25%、CaOを0〜25%、SrOを0〜5%、BaOを0〜5%、ZrOを0〜5%及びSnOを0〜5%含むガラスが挙げられるが、特に限定されない。ガラス板は、有機ガラスであるアクリル板やポリカーボネイト板であってもよい。The method for manufacturing the window glass 1 for a vehicle includes a float method, a fusion method, and the like, but is not particularly limited. Further, as an example of the composition of the glass plate used in the window glass 1 for a vehicle, the composition expressed in mol% based on the oxide, SiO 2 is 50 to 80%, B 2 O 3 is 0 to 10%, and so on. Al 2 O 3 is 0.1 to 25%, Li 2 O + Na 2 O + K 2 O is 3 to 30%, MgO is 0 to 25%, CaO is 0 to 25%, SrO is 0 to 5%, and BaO is 0 to 0. Examples thereof include glass containing 5%, 0 to 5% of ZrO 2 and 0 to 5% of SnO 2, but are not particularly limited. The glass plate may be an acrylic plate or a polycarbonate plate which is organic glass.

本実施形態のアンテナ3は、金属製の線状アンテナであるが、取り付けられるアンテナのサイズ、形状、種類等は特に限定されず、車両用窓ガラス1における配置位置も特には限定されない。 The antenna 3 of the present embodiment is a linear antenna made of metal, but the size, shape, type, etc. of the antenna to be attached are not particularly limited, and the arrangement position on the window glass 1 for a vehicle is not particularly limited.

アンテナ3を車両用窓ガラス1に取り付ける方法も特に限定はされない。例えば、車両用窓ガラス1に金属の印刷、スパッタリング等を施すことにより、アンテナ3を車両用窓ガラス1に直接形成することができる。また、車両用窓ガラス1にアンテナ3としての金属の部材を接着剤等により取り付けることにより、構成してもよい。 The method of attaching the antenna 3 to the vehicle window glass 1 is also not particularly limited. For example, the antenna 3 can be directly formed on the vehicle window glass 1 by printing metal, sputtering, or the like on the vehicle window glass 1. Further, it may be configured by attaching a metal member as an antenna 3 to the window glass 1 for a vehicle with an adhesive or the like.

図4(a)〜図4(f)は、一枚のガラス板からなる車両用窓ガラス1を含むアンテナ付き車両用窓ガラス10であって、その縁部の種々の変形例の断面図を示す。各例において、上面側が車両の内側、下面側が車両の外側を向くように、車両に取り付けられる。 4 (a) to 4 (f) are cross-sectional views of a vehicle window glass 10 with an antenna including a vehicle window glass 1 made of a single glass plate, and various modifications of the edges thereof. show. In each example, the vehicle is attached so that the upper surface side faces the inside of the vehicle and the lower surface side faces the outside of the vehicle.

図4(a)は図2(b)と同じ例である。図4(b)は、図4(a)の金属部材11の外側に樹脂部材13を設けた例を示し、車体への取り付け性が向上する。図4(c)は、図4(a)の様なブロック状の金属部材11とは異なり、薄いフィルム状の金属部材11をテーパー面7aに設けた例を示す。 FIG. 4 (a) is the same example as in FIG. 2 (b). FIG. 4B shows an example in which the resin member 13 is provided on the outside of the metal member 11 of FIG. 4A, and the mountability to the vehicle body is improved. FIG. 4C shows an example in which a thin film-shaped metal member 11 is provided on the tapered surface 7a, unlike the block-shaped metal member 11 as shown in FIG. 4A.

上述した例では、テーパー面7aが、車両用窓ガラス1の第2面1Bから第1面1Aに到達する様に形成されている。図4(d)、(e)は、テーパー面7aが、第1面1Aに到達する様に形成されておらず、第2面1Bおよび第1面1Aを接続する側面1Cの途中まで形成されている例を示す。図4(d)の金属部材11はフィルム状であるが、図4(e)の金属部材11は、図4(a)と類似の断面三角形の形状を持つ。 In the above example, the tapered surface 7a is formed so as to reach the first surface 1A from the second surface 1B of the vehicle window glass 1. In FIGS. 4 (d) and 4 (e), the tapered surface 7a is not formed so as to reach the first surface 1A, but is formed halfway of the side surface 1C connecting the second surface 1B and the first surface 1A. Here is an example. Although the metal member 11 of FIG. 4 (d) has a film shape, the metal member 11 of FIG. 4 (e) has a triangular cross-sectional shape similar to that of FIG. 4 (a).

図4(f)の例では、車両用窓ガラス1にテーパー面7aが形成されていない。代わりに、金属部材11が、縁部7において、車両用窓ガラス1の第1面1Aと、側面1Cと、第2面1Bとに渡って、縁部7に沿うように設けられている。また、側面1Cを基準としてアンテナ3の取付面(第2面1B)と金属部材11が対向する長さL2は、側面1Cを基準として対向面(第1面1A)と金属部材11が対向する長さL1よりも長い(L1>L2)。この結果、図4(f)に示すように、疑似的なテーパー面7aが縁部7に形成されることになり、上述した例と同様な効果を得ることができる。
In the example of FIG. 4 (f), the tapered surface 7a is not formed on the vehicle window glass 1. Instead, a metal member 11 is provided at the edge portion 7 along the edge portion 7 over the first surface 1A, the side surface 1C, and the second surface 1B of the vehicle window glass 1. Further, the length L2 at which the mounting surface ( second surface 1B ) of the antenna 3 and the metal member 11 face each other with respect to the side surface 1C is such that the facing surface ( first surface 1A ) and the metal member 11 face each other with respect to the side surface 1C. It is longer than the length L1 (L1> L2). As a result, as shown in FIG. 4 (f), a pseudo tapered surface 7a is formed on the edge portion 7, and the same effect as the above-described example can be obtained.

図5(a)〜図5(f)は、図4(a)〜図4(f)とは異なり、合わせガラスからなる車両用窓ガラス1を含むアンテナ付き車両用窓ガラス10であって、その縁部の種々の変形例の断面図を示す。本例では、車両用窓ガラス1を構成する合わせガラスは、第1のガラス板1aと、第2のガラス板1cと、第1のガラス板1aと第2のガラス板1cとの間に介在する中間膜1bとを備えている。即ち、第2のガラス板1cは、第1のガラス板1aと中間膜1bを介して貼り合わされる。第1のガラス板1aが車外側であり、第2のガラス板1cが車内側である。 5 (a) to 5 (f) are different from FIGS. 4 (a) to 4 (f), and are vehicle windowpanes 10 with an antenna including a vehicle windowpane 1 made of laminated glass. A cross-sectional view of various modifications of the edge is shown. In this example, the laminated glass constituting the window glass 1 for a vehicle is interposed between the first glass plate 1a, the second glass plate 1c, the first glass plate 1a, and the second glass plate 1c. It is provided with an interlayer film 1b to be formed. That is, the second glass plate 1c is bonded to the first glass plate 1a via the interlayer film 1b. The first glass plate 1a is on the outside of the vehicle, and the second glass plate 1c is on the inside of the vehicle.

中間膜1bの組成は、従来の車両用合わせガラスに一般に用いられるものでよく、例えばポリビニルブチラール(PVB)やエチレンビニルアセタール(EVA)等を用いることができる。また、加熱前は液状である熱硬化性樹脂を用いてもよい。すなわち、中間膜1bは合わせガラスとした状態の時に層状であればよく、第1のガラス板1aおよび第2のガラス板1cの接合前の状態で中間膜23が液状などであっても良い。 The composition of the interlayer film 1b may be one generally used for conventional laminated glass for vehicles, and for example, polyvinyl butyral (PVB), ethylene vinyl acetal (EVA), or the like can be used. Further, a thermosetting resin that is liquid before heating may be used. That is, the interlayer film 1b may be in a layered state when it is made of laminated glass, and the interlayer film 23 may be in a liquid state before joining the first glass plate 1a and the second glass plate 1c.

図5は、合わせガラスである車両用窓ガラス1の縁部の種々の変形例の断面図を示す。
図5(a)は、図4(a)から(e)と同様に、テーパー面7aが縁部7に形成されている例を示す。図5(b)は、複数の層の積層体である合わせガラスの性質を利用し、縁部7において、第2面1Bから第1面1Aに向かって拡がるような階段状に形成された段状面7bが形成されている。すなわち、第2のガラス板1cおよび中間膜1bの側面が、第1のガラス板1aの側面よりも、平面視において車両用窓ガラス1の内側領域に位置している。そして階段状の金属部材11が、第1のガラス板1a、中間膜1b、第2のガラス板1cの側面に形成されている。さらに金属部材11は、第1のガラス板1aの露出した一の主面1a1にも形成されている。
FIG. 5 shows a cross-sectional view of various modifications of the edge portion of the window glass 1 for a vehicle, which is a laminated glass.
FIG. 5A shows an example in which the tapered surface 7a is formed on the edge portion 7 as in FIGS. 4A to 4E. FIG. 5B is a step formed in a stepped shape so as to expand from the second surface 1B to the first surface 1A at the edge portion 7 by utilizing the property of the laminated glass which is a laminated body of a plurality of layers. The surface 7b is formed. That is, the side surfaces of the second glass plate 1c and the interlayer film 1b are located in the inner region of the vehicle window glass 1 in a plan view with respect to the side surfaces of the first glass plate 1a. A stepped metal member 11 is formed on the side surfaces of the first glass plate 1a, the interlayer film 1b, and the second glass plate 1c. Further, the metal member 11 is also formed on one exposed main surface 1a1 of the first glass plate 1a.

図5(b)の例では、テーパー面ではないものの、階段状の金属部材11が、第2面1Bから第1面1Aに向かって拡がるような階段状に形成された段状面7bに設けられている。この結果、金属部材11、段状面7bは、アンテナ3から発信された電波を車両用窓ガラス1の第1面1Aの側へ伝搬させる作用を有することになる。 In the example of FIG. 5B, although it is not a tapered surface, the stepped metal member 11 is provided on the stepped surface 7b formed in a stepped shape so as to expand from the second surface 1B toward the first surface 1A. Has been done. As a result, the metal member 11 and the stepped surface 7b have an action of propagating the radio waves transmitted from the antenna 3 toward the first surface 1A of the vehicle window glass 1.

図5(c)は、図5(b)の例に対し、さらに樹脂部材13を設けて強度を増した例を示す。図5(d)は、金属部材11と樹脂部材13の結合体を先に形成し、後から車両用窓ガラス1の縁部に取り付ける例を示す。 FIG. 5C shows an example in which the resin member 13 is further provided to increase the strength with respect to the example of FIG. 5B. FIG. 5D shows an example in which the combination of the metal member 11 and the resin member 13 is formed first and then attached to the edge of the vehicle window glass 1.

図5(e)は、金属部材11が第2のガラス板1cの側面にのみ形成されている例、図5(f)は、金属部材11が第2のガラス板1cおよび中間膜1bの側面にのみ形成されている例を示す。このような簡易な構造でも、金属部材11、段状面7bは、アンテナ3から発信された電波を車両用窓ガラス1の第1面1Aの側へ伝搬させる作用を有する。すなわち、金属部材11は、段状面7bの少なくとも一部に設けられることにより、アンテナ3から発信された電波を車両用窓ガラス1の第1面1Aの側へ伝搬させる作用を有することになる。 FIG. 5 (e) shows an example in which the metal member 11 is formed only on the side surface of the second glass plate 1c, and FIG. 5 (f) shows an example in which the metal member 11 is formed on the side surface of the second glass plate 1c and the interlayer film 1b. An example is shown in which only the glass is formed. Even with such a simple structure, the metal member 11 and the stepped surface 7b have an effect of propagating the radio waves transmitted from the antenna 3 toward the first surface 1A of the vehicle window glass 1. That is, by providing the metal member 11 on at least a part of the stepped surface 7b, the metal member 11 has an action of propagating the radio wave transmitted from the antenna 3 to the side of the first surface 1A of the vehicle window glass 1. ..

図6(a)〜(d)は、それぞれ図4(c)、図4(d)、図4(f)、図5(e)のアンテナ付き車両用窓ガラス10において、第1の距離Aおよび第2の距離Bを示した断面図である。各例において、第1の距離Aおよび第2の距離Bは本図で示したように得られる。尚、図6(a)〜(d)では、第1の距離Aは、アンテナ3から金属部材11の一端までの距離に基づき得られる。また、図6(a)、(c)では、第2の距離Bは、アンテナ3から金属部材11の一端までの距離に基づき得られる。図6(b)、(d)では、第2の距離Bは、アンテナ3から車両用窓ガラス1の一端までの距離に基づき得られる。このように、第1の距離A、第2の距離Bの開始点はアンテナ3であるが、終了点は車両用窓ガラス1の縁部において金属部材11が存在する場合は金属部材11の一端になり、金属部材11が存在しない場合は、車両用窓ガラス1の一端になる。 6 (a) to 6 (d) show the first distance A in the window glass 10 for a vehicle with an antenna shown in FIGS. 4 (c), 4 (d), 4 (f), and 5 (e), respectively. It is a cross-sectional view which showed and the 2nd distance B. In each example, the first distance A and the second distance B are obtained as shown in this figure. In FIGS. 6A to 6D, the first distance A is obtained based on the distance from the antenna 3 to one end of the metal member 11. Further, in FIGS. 6A and 6C, the second distance B is obtained based on the distance from the antenna 3 to one end of the metal member 11. In FIGS. 6B and 6D, the second distance B is obtained based on the distance from the antenna 3 to one end of the vehicle window glass 1. As described above, the start point of the first distance A and the second distance B is the antenna 3, but the end point is one end of the metal member 11 when the metal member 11 is present at the edge of the vehicle window glass 1. If the metal member 11 does not exist, it becomes one end of the vehicle window glass 1.

アンテナ3から側面7aに向かう任意の一の方向に沿って、第1の距離A、第2の距離Bが決定される。上述の実施形態では、この一の方向は、車両用窓ガラス1の辺に平行な方向によって定義されているが、一の方向の定義の仕方は特に限定はされない。第1の距離A、第2の距離Bがそれぞれ正しく評価できるなら、方向は必ずしも車両用窓ガラス1の辺に平行な方向には限定されない。 A first distance A and a second distance B are determined along any one direction from the antenna 3 to the side surface 7a. In the above-described embodiment, this one direction is defined by the direction parallel to the side of the vehicle window glass 1, but the method of defining the one direction is not particularly limited. If the first distance A and the second distance B can be evaluated correctly, the direction is not necessarily limited to the direction parallel to the side of the vehicle window glass 1.

上述の実施形態では、第1面1Aが対向面であって車両の外側の面となり、第2面1Bが取付面であって車内側の面となるよう、車両に取り付けられる。このように、アンテナ3が車両の内部に設けられるよう(取付面が車内側になる)、アンテナ付き車両用窓ガラス10を車両に設置することが好ましい。もちろんこれは必須ではなく、アンテナ3が車両の外部に設けられてもよい(取付面が車内側になる)。また、アンテナ3は車両用窓ガラス1の厚さ方向の内部に設けられる、すなわち、アンテナ3が車両用窓ガラス1に埋め込まれてもよい。図6(d)の例では、アンテナ3が第2のガラス板1cの表面に埋め込まれているが、アンテナ3が中間膜1bに接する様に、第1のガラス板1aまたは第2のガラス板1cに埋め込まれてもよい。 In the above-described embodiment, the first surface 1A is attached to the vehicle so as to be an opposite surface and an outer surface of the vehicle, and the second surface 1B is an attachment surface to be an inner surface of the vehicle. In this way, it is preferable to install the window glass 10 for a vehicle with an antenna in the vehicle so that the antenna 3 is provided inside the vehicle (the mounting surface is inside the vehicle). Of course, this is not essential, and the antenna 3 may be provided outside the vehicle (the mounting surface is inside the vehicle). Further, the antenna 3 may be provided inside the vehicle window glass 1 in the thickness direction, that is, the antenna 3 may be embedded in the vehicle window glass 1. In the example of FIG. 6D, the antenna 3 is embedded in the surface of the second glass plate 1c, but the first glass plate 1a or the second glass plate so that the antenna 3 is in contact with the interlayer film 1b. It may be embedded in 1c.

また、車両用窓ガラス1が車両の車体に設置された状況を想定した場合、金属部材(導電性部材)11は、車体の一部を構成する部材に相当すると考えられる。本発明は、アンテナ付き車両用窓ガラス10を備える車両をも含むものである。尚、上述の実施形態では、導電性部材は金属部材11であるが、所定の導電性を有する部材であればよく、必ずしも金属である必要はない。 Further, assuming a situation in which the window glass 1 for a vehicle is installed on the vehicle body of the vehicle, the metal member (conductive member) 11 is considered to correspond to a member constituting a part of the vehicle body. The present invention also includes a vehicle provided with a vehicle window glass 10 with an antenna. In the above-described embodiment, the conductive member is the metal member 11, but it does not have to be a metal as long as it is a member having a predetermined conductivity.

尚、上述した様な縁部の加工(テーパー面や段状面の形成および導電性部材の配置)は、車両用窓ガラス1の縁部の少なくとも一部においてされればよい。また、テーパー面は単なる傾斜面として捉えることもでき、側面が傾斜面を構成すると把握することもできる。ここでの傾斜は、直線、曲線の様な線状のもののみならず、階段状でもよい。また、傾斜面を設ける側面は、車両用窓ガラス1の少なくとも一方の側面(縁部)でもよい、すなわち、左右(または上下)のどちらか一方の側面(縁部)が傾斜面を有していればよい。もちろん、車両用窓ガラス1の全周囲(全縁部)に渡って傾斜面を設けてもよい。また、アンテナ3に最も近い辺の縁部に加工をすることにより、狙った効果が得られやすい。 The processing of the edge portion as described above (formation of the tapered surface and the stepped surface and arrangement of the conductive member) may be performed on at least a part of the edge portion of the vehicle window glass 1. Further, the tapered surface can be regarded as a mere inclined surface, and it can be grasped that the side surface constitutes the inclined surface. The inclination here is not limited to a linear shape such as a straight line or a curved line, but may be a stepped shape. Further, the side surface on which the inclined surface is provided may be at least one side surface (edge portion) of the vehicle window glass 1, that is, either the left or right (or upper and lower) side surface (edge portion) has the inclined surface. Just do it. Of course, an inclined surface may be provided over the entire circumference (all edges) of the vehicle window glass 1. Further, by processing the edge of the side closest to the antenna 3, the desired effect can be easily obtained.

上述した実施形態では、車両用窓ガラスおよびアンテナ付き車両用窓ガラスについて説明した。ただし、本発明が適用される対象は、取り付け対象が車両ではない建築物等である窓ガラス(例えば建築用窓ガラス)およびアンテナ付き窓ガラス(例えばアンテナ付き建築用窓ガラス)であってもよい。適切なアンテナの指向性の設定は、このような種類の窓ガラスであっても重要な課題だからである。 In the above-described embodiment, the window glass for a vehicle and the window glass for a vehicle with an antenna have been described. However, the object to which the present invention is applied may be a window glass (for example, a building window glass) and an antenna-equipped window glass (for example, an antenna-equipped building window glass) for which the attachment target is a building or the like that is not a vehicle. .. Setting the proper antenna directivity is an important issue even for this type of window glass.

尚、本発明は、上述した実施形態に限定されるものではなく、適宜、変形、改良、等が可能である。その他、上述した実施形態における各構成要素の材質、形状、寸法、数値、形態、数、配置箇所、等は本発明を達成できるものであれば任意であり、限定されない。 The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be appropriately modified, improved, and the like. In addition, the material, shape, size, numerical value, form, number, arrangement location, etc. of each component in the above-described embodiment are arbitrary and are not limited as long as the present invention can be achieved.
