Radar-Transparent Vehicle Exterior With Heater Sheet Layout

The patent extracts the heater sheet body from the transparent resin layer, allowing them to be manufactured and positioned independently. The heater sheet body is formed separately with extended portions that protrude toward the front surface, then integrated into the transparent resin layer. This separation enables the heater sheet to achieve the necessary shape correspondence with the bend surface without compromising manufacturing precision, as the extended portions can be designed with sufficient protrusion distance to ensure contact with the bend surface while being manufactured as a distinct component.

The heater sheet is segmented into a base portion and extended portions that protrude toward the front surface. This segmentation allows the extended portions to be designed independently to achieve the necessary shape correspondence with the bend surface. The segmented structure simplifies mold integration, as the extended portions can be positioned and fixed within the mold cavity before the transparent resin layer is formed, reducing the overall device complexity while maintaining effective snow-melting function.

The heater sheet body is preliminarily formed with extended portions that protrude toward the front surface before integration into the transparent resin layer. This preliminary action ensures that the extended portions are already positioned to achieve close contact with the bend surface, maximizing heat transfer efficiency. The pre-formed extended portions simplify the subsequent manufacturing process, as they can be directly integrated into the mold without requiring complex shaping operations, thereby improving ease of manufacture while maintaining effective heat transfer to the bend surface for snow-melting function.
