(First embodiment)
Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 1-6, 1st Embodiment of a decorative component and a decorative component unit is described.

  As shown in FIG. 1, a rear emblem 10 that constitutes a decorative part is attached to, for example, the center of the back door of a back door of a vehicle to which the decorative part is attached. In the rear emblem 10, a mark, which is an example of decoration, is configured by a glossy portion 11 that exhibits metallic luster and a background portion 12 that does not exhibit metallic luster. The inner side of the back door with respect to the rear emblem 10 is the rear surface side of the rear emblem 10, and the in-vehicle camera 20 for photographing the rear of the vehicle is installed on the rear surface side of the rear emblem 10. The vehicle-mounted camera 20 is located in the background portion 12 when viewed from the front side when the rear emblem 10 is viewed from the front side.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the rear emblem 10 is attached to the back door via a fixing member 18. The rear emblem 10 and the fixing member 18 are in close contact with each other by an adhesive 19. A portion where the rear emblem 10 and the fixing member 18 are in close contact with each other by the adhesive 19 corresponds to a light shielding portion that blocks light from entering. Further, an adhesive seal may be used instead of the adhesive 19.

  The fixing member 18 includes a cylindrical camera mounting portion 18a. The in-vehicle camera 20 is attached to the camera attachment portion 18 a of the fixing member 18 with the lens 21 of the in-vehicle camera 20 facing the back surface 10 b of the rear emblem 10. The in-vehicle camera 20 includes a cylindrical support portion 22 that surrounds the lens 21. The support part 22 supports the periphery of the lens 21. The case of the lens 21 including the support portion 22 is preferably black from the viewpoint of suppressing the reflected light from the case from entering the lens 21. In addition, from the viewpoint of improving simplicity in manufacturing the in-vehicle camera 20, at least a part of the end surface 22a of the support portion 22 may be other than black such as white. On the back surface of the in-vehicle camera 20, a connection terminal 23 that outputs an image captured by the in-vehicle camera 20 is provided.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the rear emblem 10 includes a transparent resin base material 13 as a transparent base material. The surface 10 a of the rear emblem 10 is an outer surface exposed to the outside of the vehicle, and the outer surface is the surface of the transparent resin base material 13. The transparent resin base material 13 transmits light that can be taken by the in-vehicle camera 20, and is formed of, for example, an acrylic resin. The transparent resin base material 13 is colorless. The transparent resin base material 13 may be colored according to the atmosphere of the rear emblem 10.

  A pattern printing layer 14 is provided on a part of the back surface of the transparent resin base material 13. The pattern print layer 14 includes a pattern print layer 14 that forms the background portion 12 described above and a region other than the pattern print layer 14 that forms the gloss portion 11 described above on the back surface of the transparent resin substrate 13. It is partitioned. The pattern printing layer 14 is composed of a region occupied by the light transmission suppressing portion 14a that suppresses light transmitted through the transparent resin base material 13 from passing into the vehicle, and a region where the light transmission suppressing portion 14a is not formed. The region where the light transmission suppressing portion 14a is not formed includes the light transmitting portion 14b. The translucent part 14b is provided at a position facing the background part 12, which is a part where the glossy part 11 is not formed.

  The light transmission suppression part 14a is a printed matter printed by screen printing on the back surface of the transparent resin base material 13, for example. The pattern printing layer 14 that can be seen through the transparent resin base material 13 is the background portion 12 described above. The light transmission suppressing portion 14 a is located on the back surface of the transparent resin base material 13, avoiding a portion where the vicinity of the center P of the lens 21 of the in-vehicle camera 20 is opposed. The light transmission suppression unit 14a is, for example, a dot pattern in which dots that are dot-like structures that suppress light transmission are arranged. The member located on the vehicle inner side with respect to the light transmission suppressing portion 14a is confused by the dot pattern that the member is visually recognized from the outside of the vehicle.

  The translucent part 14b is an area where the translucent suppression part 14a is not located, that is, an area where no dot is located, as in the area where the pattern printing layer 14 is not located on the back surface of the transparent resin base material 13, and the translucent suppression is achieved. It is surrounded by the part 14a. Around the light transmitting part 14b, a light transmission suppressing part 14a having a light transmission lower than that of the light transmitting part 14b is formed. The light transmission suppression unit 14a has a gradation dot pattern in which the proportion of dots in the unit area increases as the distance from the light transmission unit 14b increases. The translucent part 14 b faces the center P of the lens 21 of the in-vehicle camera 20 in the pattern printing layer 14.

  The area where the in-vehicle camera 20 is located on the back side of the pattern printing layer 14 is provided with the light transmission suppressing part 14a and the light transmitting part 14b, while the area where the in-vehicle camera 20 is not located does not transmit light. An opaque portion 14c is provided.

  On the back surface of the pattern printing layer 14, there is provided a smoke printing layer 15 that is translucent when viewed from the outside of the vehicle and is colored in a color such as gray that is difficult to see from the outside of the vehicle. The smoke printed layer 15 covers the light transmission suppressing portion 14a and the light transmitting portion 14b. The smoke print layer 15 is printed by screen printing, for example. The smoke print layer 15 is printed with a color that makes it difficult to see the interior of the vehicle from the smoke print layer 15 over the entire surface of the smoke print layer 15 regardless of whether or not the lens 21 of the in-vehicle camera 20 faces. Thereby, when the rear surface 10b side is visually observed from the front surface 10a side of the rear emblem 10, the inside becomes harder to see than uncolored transparent. Moreover, it is preferable that the color of the smoke printing layer 15 and the color of the background part 12 are similar colors. If it does in this way, the part in which the translucency suppression part 14a and the translucent part 14b in which the color of the smoke printing layer 15 which can see the color of the smoke printing layer 15 is located, and the part in which the color of the background part 12 can be seen from the outside of a car look the same. Therefore, the light transmission suppression part 14a and the light transmission part 14b become difficult to stand out. The pattern printing layer 14 and the smoke printing layer 15 correspond to the decorative layer and the first decorative layer of the decorative part.

  A second decorative layer 16 exhibiting metallic luster is formed on the back surface of the transparent resin base material 13 other than the pattern print layer 14 and on the back surface of the smoke print layer 15. The 2nd decoration layer 16 is formed by vapor deposition with respect to the transparent resin base material 13 in the state in which the pattern printing layer 14 was divided in the back surface of the transparent resin base material 13, and the smoke printing layer 15 was provided. For this reason, in the back surface of the transparent resin base material 13, the second decorative layer 16 is directly applied to the transparent resin base material 13 in a portion where the smoke print layer 15 is not laminated, that is, a portion other than the pattern print layer 14. It is formed. In addition, in the portion other than the light transmission suppressing portion 14a in the pattern printing layer 14, that is, the portion corresponding to the light transmitting portion 14b, a through hole 16a that penetrates the entire second decorative layer 16 in the thickness direction. Is formed. A second decorative layer 16 that can be seen from outside the vehicle through the transparent resin base material 13 constitutes the glossy portion 11.

  On the back surface of the second decorative layer 16, a coating layer 17 to which a protective coating is applied is provided. The coating layer 17 is provided up to the inner wall surface of the through hole 16 a of the second decorative layer 16. Hereinafter, for convenience of describing the configuration of the decorative part, the second decorative layer 16 including the paint layer 17 is described.

  The in-vehicle camera 20 is attached to the camera attachment portion 18 a of the fixing member 18 with the lens 21 of the in-vehicle camera 20 facing the through hole 16 a of the second decorative layer 16. An inner diameter D5 of the through hole 16a formed in the second decorative layer 16 is set larger than the outer diameter D1 of the lens 21 and larger than the inner diameter D1 of the support portion 22.

  The outer diameter D4 of the portion surrounding the light transmitting portion 14b in the light transmission suppressing portion 14a is set larger than the outer diameter D3 of the support portion 22 of the in-vehicle camera 20. Further, the outer diameter D2 of the translucent portion 14b is set smaller than the outer diameter D1 of the lens 21. In other words, the portion of the light transmission suppressing portion 14a that surrounds the light transmitting portion 14b is the inner peripheral edge of the camera mounting portion 18a to which the support portion 22 is attached in the axial direction of the camera mounting portion 18a. It exists in the position containing the part which opposes a part.

  The outer diameter D4 of the portion surrounding the light transmitting portion 14b in the light transmission suppressing portion 14a is set to be the same as the inner diameter D5 of the through hole 16a of the second decorative layer 16. In other words, the inner edge of the portion surrounding the light transmitting portion 14b in the light transmission suppressing portion 14a faces the opening edge of the through hole 16a of the second decorative layer 16.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the outer shape of the lens 21 of the in-vehicle camera 20 is circular. And the external shape of the light transmission suppression part 14a and the external shape of the light transmission part 14b are circular according to the outer diameter of the lens 21 of the vehicle-mounted camera 20. FIG.

  In the state where the rear emblem 10 is viewed from the front surface 10 a side, the vicinity of the center P of the lens 21 of the in-vehicle camera 20 is included in the light transmitting portion 14 b of the pattern printing layer 14. The support unit 22 of the in-vehicle camera 20 is included in the light transmission suppression unit 14 a of the pattern printing layer 14.

  As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the pattern indicated by the light transmission suppressing unit 14 a is a dot pattern in which dot-like structures that suppress light transmission are arranged. The dot pattern of the light transmission suppressing unit 14a is a gradation in which the proportion of dots in the unit area increases as the distance from the portion facing the vicinity of the center P of the lens 21 of the in-vehicle camera 20 increases. The dot pattern of the light transmission suppressing portion 14a can be selected according to the purpose such as the angle of view and the amount of light required for the in-vehicle camera 20, and the gradation itself is omitted. Is also possible.

  The dot pattern shown in FIG. 5 is a gradation in which the dot size increases intermittently from 10% to 90% with respect to the reference size as the distance from the center of the light transmitting portion 14b increases. If it does in this way, the inner edge of the part which encloses the translucent part 14b in the translucent suppression part 14a is hard to be visually recognized, Therefore, it suppresses that the boundary of the translucent suppression part 14a and the translucent part 14b is conspicuous. be able to.

  The dot pattern shown in FIG. 6 is a gradation in which the dot size increases intermittently from 10% to 33% with respect to the reference size as the distance from the center of the light transmitting portion 14b increases. In this way, since the size of the dots around the translucent portion 14b can be suppressed as compared with the dot pattern shown in FIG. 5, the area reflected in the captured image can be suppressed.

Next, the operation of the rear emblem 10 configured as described above will be described.
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, when the rear emblem 10 is viewed from the outside of the vehicle, a part of the background portion 12 becomes the light transmission suppression portion 14 a, so that it is surrounded by the light transmission suppression portion 14 a. The translucent part 14b appears to be almost assimilated to the translucent suppressing part 14a. In particular, since the dot pattern of the gradation portion is darker from the inside to the outside, it is difficult to notice the light transmitting portion 14b. And since the vehicle-mounted camera 20 located in the back surface 10b side of the rear emblem 10 is confused with the dot pattern of the light transmission suppression part 14a, presence of a vehicle-mounted camera is hard to be visually recognized from the vehicle exterior. In addition, as shown in FIG. 3, although the part of the light transmission suppression part 14a and the light transmission part 14b looks thin in the background part 12, by installing the vehicle-mounted camera 20, it is from the back surface 10b side of the rear emblem 10. When the light is no longer incident, the difference in the background portion 12 becomes almost unknown.

  Further, when the rear side of the vehicle is photographed from the in-vehicle camera 20 located on the rear surface 10b side of the rear emblem 10, the in-vehicle camera 20 receives light through an optical path formed by the translucent portion 14b and the through hole 16a. Since the in-vehicle camera 20 focuses so as to capture the necessary range behind the vehicle, even if a part of the gradation portion is located within the angle of view of the in-vehicle camera 20, there are dots that overlap the imaging range. Since it is reflected in a blurred state, the rear of the vehicle can be confirmed. In addition, compared with a decorative part constituted by a magic mirror, reflection of light toward the in-vehicle camera 20 is less likely to occur, and the amount of light can be increased, so that an image captured by the in-vehicle camera 20 becomes clear.

  In addition, since the vehicle-mounted camera 20 is located inside the back door on the rear surface 10b side of the rear emblem 10, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the appearance of the vehicle due to the vehicle-mounted camera 20 being exposed. Further, since the lens 21 of the in-vehicle camera 20 is not exposed, it can be prevented from being contaminated by mud or dust.

As described above, according to this embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
(1) The in-vehicle camera 20 installed on the rear surface 10b side of the rear emblem 10 receives light through the light transmitting portion 14b of the pattern printing layer 14, and is blocked by the light transmission suppressing portion 14a of the second decorative layer 16. It is possible to take pictures outside the car without any trouble. Further, when the rear emblem 10 is viewed from the outside of the vehicle, the in-vehicle camera 20 is difficult to be visually recognized by the light transmission suppressing portion 14a.

  (2) The light transmission suppressing portion 14a can be easily formed by printing a dot pattern. Moreover, the degree which suppresses transmission of light can be easily adjusted by changing the ratio of the area of the dot which occupies for the unit area of the light transmission suppression part 14a.

  (3) Since the ratio of the dots increases as the pattern of the light transmission suppressing portion 14a moves away from the light transmitting portion 14b, the degree of suppression of light transmission increases as the distance from the light transmitting portion 14b increases in the light transmission suppressing portion 14a. Is done. For this reason, it is possible to make it difficult to visually recognize the boundary between the light transmission part 14b and the light transmission suppression part 14a. Therefore, it can further suppress that the vehicle-mounted camera 20 is visually recognized from the outside of the vehicle.

  (4) Since the smoke print layer 15 is provided in addition to the pattern print layer 14 having the light transmission part 14b and the light transmission suppression part 14a, the presence of the in-vehicle camera 20 can be further prevented from being visually recognized from the outside of the vehicle.

  (5) Since the translucent suppressing portion 14a is disposed at a position facing the inner peripheral edge portion of the camera attachment portion 18a to which the support portion 22 is attached in the axial direction of the camera attachment portion 18a, the support portion 22 of the in-vehicle camera 20 is It can be made difficult to see from outside the vehicle.

  (6) Since the camera mounting portion 18a is attached to the rear emblem 10, the positional relationship between the rear emblem 10 and the camera mounting portion 18a, that is, the alignment of the translucent portion 14b and the translucent suppressing portion 14a with the in-vehicle camera 20 is performed. There is no need for trouble.

(7) By printing the light transmission suppression part 14a inside the part facing the through-hole 16a of the 2nd decoration layer 16, the vehicle-mounted camera 20 can be made hard to be visually recognized from the outside of a vehicle further.
(8) Since the second decorative layer 16 exhibiting a metallic luster covers the opaque portion 14c (background portion 12) of the pattern printing layer 14, the light shielding property of the opaque portion 14c can be further enhanced. Therefore, the light to the inside of the camera attachment part 18a can be blocked.

(Second Embodiment)
Hereinafter, with reference to FIG.7 and FIG.8, 2nd Embodiment of a decorative component and a decorative component unit is described. In the decorative part of this embodiment, the decorative member 31 is attached to the front surface side of the transparent resin base material 13 instead of the second decorative layer 16, and the decorative member 31 is formed in the recess 30 formed in the transparent resin base material 13.

  The in-vehicle camera 20 is attached to the camera attachment portion 18 a of the fixing member 18 with the lens 21 of the in-vehicle camera 20 facing the through hole 17 a of the coating layer 17. An inner diameter D6 of the through hole 17a formed in the coating layer 17 is set larger than the outer diameter D1 of the lens 21 and larger than the inner diameter D1 of the support portion 22. The outer diameter D4 of the portion surrounding the light transmitting portion 14b in the light transmission suppressing portion 14a is set to be the same as the inner diameter D6 of the through hole 17a of the coating layer 17.

  As shown in FIG. 7, on the surface side of the transparent resin base material 13, a decorating member 31 corresponding to the glossy portion 11 exhibiting a metallic luster in the rear emblem 10 is attached. The decorative member 31 is three-dimensionally formed, for example, made of ABS resin or the like, and the surface thereof is plated with, for example, hexavalent chromium. On the surface of the transparent resin base material 13, a recess 30 for attaching the decorating member 31 is formed. The translucent part 14b is provided at a position facing the background part 12 where the decorative member 31 does not exist.

  And if the decorating member 31 is attached to the transparent resin base material 13, the decorating member 31 will protrude from the transparent resin base material 13, and it will become the rear emblem 10 with a three-dimensional effect. In addition, as for the part in which the transparent part 14b of the transparent resin base material 13 is formed, it is desirable that thickness is constant, and the image | video which the vehicle-mounted camera 20 image | photographed with the thickness of the part through which the light of the transparent resin base material 13 permeate | transmits. Distortion can be suppressed.

  In the rear emblem 10 configured as described above, when the rear emblem 10 is viewed from the outside of the vehicle, as in the first embodiment, a part of the background portion 12 becomes the light transmission suppressing portion 14a. The translucent part 14b surrounded by the translucent suppression part 14a appears to be almost assimilated to the translucent suppression part 14a.

As described above, according to this embodiment, in addition to the effects (1) to (6) of the first embodiment, the following effects can be achieved.
(9) Since the decorative member 31 is provided on the surface of the transparent resin base material 13, the rear emblem 10 having a three-dimensional appearance in which the glossy portion 11 protrudes by the decorative member 31 having a metallic luster can be obtained.

In addition, each said embodiment can also be implemented with the following forms which changed this suitably.
In each of the above embodiments, the rear emblem 10 and the fixing material 18 are adhered to each other with the adhesive 19, but the rear emblem 10 and the fixing material 18 may be adhered to each other by welding with a laser or the like.

  In each of the above embodiments, the transparent resin base material 13 is embodied as an acrylic resin base material. However, the transparent resin base material 13 is not limited to an acrylic resin base material, and may be embodied as another transparent resin base material such as a polycarbonate resin. Good.

  In each of the above-described embodiments, the light transmission suppressing unit 14a and the smoke print layer 15 are configured as a printed matter by screen printing. However, the printed matter is not limited to the screen printing and may be configured as a printed matter by other printing such as a hot stamp.

  -In the structure of the said 1st Embodiment, although the smoke printing layer 15 was provided between the light transmission suppression part 14a and the 2nd decorating layer 16, it is the magnitude | size which the light transmission part 14b itself is hard to be visually recognized, for example. Yes, the smoke print layer 15 may be omitted if the in-vehicle camera 20 can be hardly seen from outside the vehicle without the smoke print layer 15. In this case, the 2nd decorating layer 16 is provided directly in the back surface of the light transmission suppression part 14a.

  In the first embodiment, the light transmission suppressing portion 14a is disposed so as to block a part of the opening in the through hole 16a formed in the second decorative layer 16. By changing this, for example, if the translucent part 14b itself is of a size that is difficult to be visually recognized, and if the in-vehicle camera 20 is difficult to be visually recognized from outside the vehicle, then the outside of the portion of the second decorative layer 16 that faces the through hole 16a.
