Problems solved by technology

[0004] The downside of attaching the sensor housing to the top module is that the aerodynamics of the vehicle are negatively affected by a separate sensor housing
In addition, the appearance of the vehicle is negatively affected by the sensor housing mounted separately on the top skin of the top module

Embodiment Construction

[0048] figure 1 A roof module 01 for forming a vehicle roof on a motor vehicle is shown. The roof module 01 comprises a panel component 02 whose outer surface forms a roof skin 03 in a partial region of the vehicle roof. The panel member 02 has two groove-like cutouts 04 on the right and left. The cover element 05 is arranged in the two cutouts 04 . Unlike the panel member 02, the two cover elements 05 are made of a material permeable to the electromagnetic signal of the environmental sensor 06 (see figure 2 ).

[0049] The panel member 02 consists of three segments 07, 08 and 09 to compensate for temperature related length expansion. Corresponding expansion joint elements 10 are arranged between the segments 07 and 08 and between the segments 08 and 09 , each expansion joint element 10 being for example made of an elastically deformable joint material. The transition between the edge of the cutout 04 and the cover element 05 fastened in the cutout can also each be forme...

Abstract

The invention relates to a roof module (01, 18, 23, 25, 28, 32, 34) for forming a vehicle roof on a motor vehicle, said roof module comprising a panel member (02), the outer surface of which forms at least partially a roof skin (03) of the vehicle roof, said roof module (01, 18, 23, 25, 28, 32, 34) comprising at least one environmental sensor (06, 29), the environment sensor (06, 29) is configured to be able to transmit and / or receive an electromagnetic signal (12) for detecting the environment of the vehicle, and the panel member (02) is made of a material through which the electromagnetic signal of the environment sensor can penetrate. The panel component (02) has at least one cutout (04), through which an electromagnetic signal (12) of the environmental sensor (06, 29) can pass.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a roof module for forming a vehicle roof on a motor vehicle according to the preamble of claim 1 . Background technique [0002] Universal roof modules are widely used in vehicle manufacturing, as these can be prefabricated as individual functional modules and delivered to the assembly line when the vehicle is assembled. At its outer surface, the roof module at least partially forms the roof skin of the vehicle roof, which prevents moisture and drafts from entering the vehicle interior. The top skin is formed from panel members of stable material such as painted sheet metal or painted or colored plastic. The roof module may be part of a rigid vehicle roof or part of an openable roof member. [0003] Autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicles are increasingly common in vehicle manufacturing. In order for a vehicle controller to be able to automatically or semi-automatically control a motor vehicle, a plurality of environmental se...
