Abstract
A radar cover which is disposed on an electric wave traveling path of a radar unit which detects a surrounding situation of a vehicle, includes a transparent member having a first surface and a second surface on the side opposite to the first surface, a support member which supports the second surface of the transparent member, and a colored layer which is formed on the second surface and disposed between the second surface of the transparent member and the support member, in which the transparent member has a recessed portion having an inner wall surface bent and connected to a colored layer formation area in which the colored layer is formed.
Claims15
A radar cover which is disposed on an electric wave traveling path of a radar unit which detects a surrounding situation of a vehicle, the radar cover comprising:
- a transparent member having a first surface and a second surface on the side opposite to the first surface;
- a support member which supports the second surface of the transparent member;
- and
- a colored layer which is formed on the second surface and disposed between the second surface of the transparent member and the support member,
- wherein the transparent member has a recessed portion having an inner wall surface bent and connected to a colored layer formation area in which the colored layer is formed.
A method for manufacturing a radar cover which is disposed on an electric wave traveling path of a radar unit which detects a surrounding situation of a vehicle, the method comprising:
- a transparent member forming step of forming a transparent member having a first surface and a second surface on the side opposite to the first surface and having a recessed portion having an inner wall surface bent and connected to a colored layer formation area in which a colored layer which is provided on the second surface is formed;
- a colored layer forming step of forming the colored layer in the colored layer formation area of the transparent member;
- and
- a support member forming step of forming a support member so as to cover a surface of the transparent member, on which the colored layer is formed.
A radar cover which is disposed on an electric wave traveling path of a radar unit which detects a surrounding situation of a vehicle, the radar cover comprising:
- a plate-shaped transparent member having a first surface and a second surface on the side opposite to the first surface and formed of resin;
- a support member which supports the second surface of the transparent member in a state where at least a part of an outer edge portion of the second surface of the transparent member is exposed;
- a colored layer which is formed at least in an area which is the outer edge portion of the second surface of the transparent member and is not covered with the support member;
- and
- a covering film which covers the colored layer in the area which is not covered with the support member.
A method for manufacturing a radar cover which is disposed on an electric wave traveling path of a radar unit which detects a surrounding situation of a vehicle, the method comprising:
- a transparent member forming step of forming a plate-shaped transparent member having a first surface and a second surface on the side opposite to the first surface and formed of resin;
- a colored layer forming step of forming a colored layer including an outer edge portion of the transparent member on the second surface of the transparent member;
- a support member forming step of forming a support member joined to the second surface of the transparent member in a state where at least a part of the outer edge portion of the second surface of the transparent member is exposed;
- and
- a covering film forming step of forming a covering film which covers the colored layer in an area which is not covered with the support member.
