Referring to fig. 1 and 2, in the present embodiment, the radar holding device 100 for a vehicle may hold a radar 101 inside a bumper (bumper) B, which may be a bumper provided at a front portion of the vehicle or a bumper provided at a rear portion of the vehicle, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The radar holding device 100 for a vehicle includes a radome 110, a joint member 120, and a holder receiving portion 130. The radome 110 is configured to detachably hold the radar R, the link 120 is configured to be detachably disposed on the radome 110, and the link 120 is located between the radar R and the vehicle body V. The clip accommodating portion 130 accommodates a clip (clip) C. The joint 120 and the radome 110 holding the radar R are detachably connected by a clamp C. In this manner, the radar holding device 100 for a vehicle is mounted on the vehicle body V.

Through setting up radome 110 and link piece 120 respectively into independent individual single component and the mode setting that can dismouting each other, the accessible is as the holder C of part and connects dismantled and assembledly, and when radar R is out of order, then only need change radar R, when radome 110 has the damage, then only need change radome 110, and when link piece 120 has the damage, then only need change link piece 120. Thus, the cost for repair can be suppressed.

Furthermore, since the radome 110 and the link member 120 are respectively provided as separate individual single members, the link member 120 can be a common member, that is, the link member 120 can be commonly applied to radars of different models. Therefore, the development cost of developing the joint member 120 can be reduced and man-hours can be saved, so that the cost can be reduced as a whole.

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, in the present embodiment, the radar holding device for a vehicle 100 further includes a cradle (blacket) 140. The bracket 140 is fastened to the vehicle body V, and the joint 120 is coupled to the bracket 140.

As shown in fig. 2 and 3, in the present embodiment, radome 110 includes extension portion 110E, and extension portion 110E is formed to extend toward bumper B on the lower side of vehicle radar holding device 100. By providing the protective member extension 110E covering the radar R in this manner, a range in which foreign matter such as water droplets, dirt, debris, and dust can be lifted by a normal tire under the radar R during vehicle running can be covered. Therefore, the extension portion 110E can protect the radar R and prevent foreign matter such as water droplets, dirt, debris, dust, and the like from adhering to the body of the radar R and the back surface of the bumper B (i.e., the surface of the bumper B facing the radar R), thereby protecting the radar R well, extending the working range of the radar R, and improving the quality of the radar holding device 100 for a vehicle.

As shown in fig. 2 to 4, the radome 110 is formed by bending a plate (for example, metal, alloy or plastic, but the utility model is not limited thereto) and includes a body portion 110B and an extension portion 110E bent and extended from a lower side edge of the body portion 110B. The body portion 110B of the radome 110 is formed with a plurality of receiving grooves formed by removing material for inserting the clamping member C, for example, the clamping member C is inserted into the receiving grooves along a clamping direction, so that the coupling member 120 and the radome 110 are detachably coupled to each other. The housing groove is formed by removing material from a portion of the body portion 110B of the radome 110 where the clip housing portion 130 is to be formed, and the shape of the opening is, for example, a shape in which the edge of the opening is provided with a material that can secure a width that can be gripped by the gripping claws of the clip C so that the clip C can grip and hold the joint 120 in the housing groove of the body portion 110B of the radome 110. As shown in fig. 3, the radome 110 of the present embodiment is exemplified by forming 3 receiving grooves, such as receiving groove 110B1, receiving groove 110B2, and receiving groove 110B3 shown in fig. 3, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

In addition, the plurality of receiving grooves formed in the body portion 110B are formed such that the clamping directions of the respective receiving grooves into which the clamping pieces C are inserted are different from each other. As shown in fig. 3, the holding direction D1 of the housing groove 110B1 is substantially parallel to the vertical direction Z of the body of the radar R and is a direction in which the holder C can be inserted from above to below, the holding direction D2 of the housing groove 110B2 is substantially parallel to the width direction Y of the body of the radar R and is a direction in which the holder C can be inserted from the left to the right, and the holding direction D3 of the housing groove 110B3 is a direction opposite to the holding direction D2 of the housing groove 110B2, that is, substantially parallel to the width direction Y of the body of the radar R and is a direction in which the holder C can be inserted from the right to the left.

In this way, the clip accommodating portion 130 is provided as a plurality of accommodating grooves 110B1, 110B2, and 110B3 for inserting the clip C as a component to detachably connect the radome 110 and the joint 120, and each of the plurality of accommodating grooves has a clipping direction D1, D2, and D3 in which the clip can be inserted. Since each receiving groove has a different holding direction, in the mounting process and the maintenance process, for example, in the process of replacing the radar R, the radar cover 110, or the joint 120, when the holder C is inserted into the receiving groove in the holding direction to couple the radar cover 110 and the joint 120 to each other, or when the holder C is pulled out from the receiving groove in the holding direction to detach the radar cover 110 and the joint 120, the different holding directions are provided, so that the adaptability and the convenience of the assembly process can be improved. In addition, since the holding direction of each housing groove is different from each other, it is equivalent to fixing the radome 110 and the connector 120 in different directions with respect to more than one fixing direction, and thus, compared with the mounting method in which the holding directions are the same, it is possible to prevent the looseness and the falling-off due to the vibration.

In addition, in the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 2 and 3, the link 120 is detachably connected to the radome 110 by the clip C, the clip housing portion 130 is formed at a portion of the link 120 connected to the radome 110, the clip C is inserted into the clip housing portion 130 through the housing grooves 110B1, 110B2, and 110B3 formed in the body portion 110B of the radome 110 in the clipping direction D1, D2, and D3, so that the radome 110 and the link 120 are detachably connected to each other, and the link 120 is positioned between the radome 110 holding the radar R and the bracket 140 in a state where the vehicle radar holding device 100 is mounted on the vehicle body V.

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the joint 120 further includes a fastening portion 120F, and the joint 120 may be fastened to the bracket 140 via the fastening portion 120F by a fastening member such as a screw or a bolt, wherein the bracket 140 is fixed to the vehicle body V. In this way, the radome 110 holding the radar R and the joint 120 detachably connected to the radome 110 can be fastened to the bracket 140 fixed to the vehicle body V, and the radar holding device can be stably attached to the vehicle body V. Thus, since the links 120 are provided as separate individual single members, the links 120 can be provided as a common member, that is, the links 120 can be commonly adapted to different types of radars. Therefore, the development cost of developing the joint member 120 can be reduced and man-hours can be saved, so that the cost can be reduced as a whole.

In addition, as shown in fig. 4, a plurality of ribs (rib)110R may be formed on one side of the receiving grooves 110B1, 110B2, and 110B3 of the rear surface of the body portion 110B of the radome 110 and the lower surface of the extension portion 110E. Thus, forming the rib 110R on the back surface of the radome 110 may improve the strength of the radome 110 to increase structural rigidity.

In view of the above, the radar holding device for a vehicle according to the present invention, compared to the radar holding device of the related art which is not detachably fixed, is capable of suppressing the cost in terms of repair by providing the radome for protecting the radar and the link member detachably connected to the bracket as separate individual single members, respectively, providing the radome and the link member detachably and detachably connected by the holder as a part, and when the radome is damaged, only the radome needs to be replaced, and when the link member is damaged, only the link member needs to be replaced. Furthermore, since the radome and the link are provided as separate individual single components, the link is provided as a common component, i.e., the link can be commonly adapted to different types of radars. Therefore, the development cost for developing the joint member can be reduced and the man-hour can be saved, so that the cost can be reduced as a whole.

Finally, it should be noted that: the above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical solutions of the present invention, and not for limiting the same; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that: the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments may still be modified, or some or all of the technical features may be equivalently replaced; and such modifications or substitutions do not depart from the spirit and scope of the corresponding technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
