Definitions
- the present invention relates to an antenna device and a door handle device.
- Patent Literature 1 discloses a door handle having a par antenna unit. According to this, the antenna part is built into the handle body of the door handle. When the user carrying the electronic key approaches the door handle, the bar antenna unit receives the ID code from the electronic key.
- Patent Document 2 discloses a door handle having a transmitting antenna unit. According to this, the transmission antenna is built into the handle body of the door handle. This is transmitted from the transmitting antenna unit.
- Patent Literatures 3 and 4 disclose door opening / closing devices in which a transmission antenna section and a capacitive sensor electrode are separately mounted on a door handle.
- a transmission antenna unit and a capacitive sensor electrode are separately mounted on a door handle, and although the value of the transmission antenna unit is increased, the transmission antenna unit and the capacitance are increased. It is formed of a member separate from the mold sensor electrode. Therefore, the antenna part performs only the antenna function, and the sensor electrode performs only the capacitance type sensor function. Therefore, disposing both the antenna device and the sensor electrode separately requires a large internal volume. For example, when used as a door handle, the design of the door handle is restricted.
- Patent Document 5 discloses a door opening and closing device for a vehicle.
- This door opening / closing device has a door handle for opening and closing a door, and an antenna and a sensor electrode are arranged in the door handle.
- Patent Document 6 discloses a plate-shaped sensor electrode having a U-shape in order to enhance radiation characteristics.
- Patent Document 6 discloses a door handle built-in antenna using a ferrite having soft magnetism as a core of a bar antenna.
- Patent Document 7 discloses a vehicle approach detection sensor for automobiles having cable electrodes arranged in parallel.
- the above-described antenna device and the sensor are formed of separate members and are separately disposed. ing. Therefore, the antenna device and the sensor electrode have only their respective functions, and although they have high added value, the antenna part only exerts the antenna function and the sensor electrode is a capacitance type sensor. Performs only functions. Therefore, disposing both the antenna device and the sensor electrode separately requires a large internal volume. For example, when used for a door handle, the design of the door handle is restricted.
- Patent Document 6 when a sensor that detects approach of a human body by a change in capacitance is arranged near an antenna device, emission of radio waves from the antenna device is limited. Therefore, Patent Document 6 solves the problem by arranging a substantially U-shaped sensor electrode to reduce the area where the sensor electrode shields the antenna device and not to obstruct the emission of radio waves. I have. However, in order to increase the change in capacitance at the sensor electrode, the area of the sensor electrode needs to be increased, and such an increase in the area of the sensor electrode causes an increase in size.
