AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing radar devices in vehicles are exposed to the outside, making them susceptible to damage from flying objects and reducing the design freedom of the vehicle's outer shape, including increased drag and compromised aesthetics.

Method used

A semi-trailer-type vehicle is equipped with a radar device positioned below the front end of the vehicle body, covered by a downwardly inclined radar cover that protects the signaling surface while allowing for electromagnetic wave transmission and reception, and is designed to minimize interference with the vehicle's external shape.

Benefits of technology

The solution effectively protects the radar device from flying objects while maintaining the vehicle's design freedom and reducing air resistance, enhancing both functionality and aesthetics.

Abstract

Vehicle of the articulated type, including: a detection device arranged below a front end section of a vehicle body (2), comprising a signaling surface (61a) for wirelessly transmitting signals to a front area or wirelessly receiving signals from the front area and detecting the front area; and a cover (50) that covers at least the signal surface (61a), characterized by the fact that the cover (50) has a downwardly inclined surface, and the downwardly inclined surface is inclined in such a way that a rear end position moves downwards away from a front end position.
