The detection unit 12 includes a camera 121, a radar 122, and a lidar (Light Detection and Ranger (LiDAR)) 123, all of which function as sensors for detecting peripheral information of the vehicle 1. The camera 121 is an imaging device using, for example, a CCD image sensor or a CMOS image sensor. The radar 122 is a distance measuring device such as a millimeter wave radar. Further, the rider 123 is a distance measuring device such as a laser radar. As illustrated in FIG. 1, these are arranged at positions where peripheral information of the vehicle 1 can be detected, for example, on the front side, the rear side, the upper side, and the side side of the vehicle body, respectively.

The peripheral information of the vehicle 1 is information indicating under what circumstances the vehicle 1 is traveling. For example, the peripheral information of the vehicle 1 is the traveling environment of the vehicle 1 (extending direction of the lane, the travelable area, the color indicated by the traffic light, etc.) and the objects around the vehicle 1 (other vehicles, pedestrians, obstacles, etc.). Indicates the presence / absence, information on the object (attribute, position, direction and speed of movement, etc.), etc.

The travel control unit 13 controls each mechanism 14 to 16 based on, for example, a signal from the operation unit 11 and / or the detection unit 12.

FIG. 3A shows a perspective view of the rear bumper 3 (a perspective view from the rear side of the vehicle body) as a part of the outer wall portion of the vehicle body of the vehicle 1. Here, only the left side portion of the rear bumper 3 is shown, but the right side portion may be provided symmetrically with this. Further, although not shown here, a rear fender may be arranged in front of the rear bumper 3, and a trunk lid may be arranged above.

The outer wall portion indicates a portion that forms the outer surface (exterior) of the vehicle body and is exposed on the outside of the vehicle body, and includes a so-called body panel and other panel members connected or fixed to the so-called body panel. Therefore, examples of the outer wall portion include a rear fender, a trunk lid, a front bumper, a front fender, a hood panel, a roof panel, a door panel, and the like, in addition to the rear bumper 3 described here.

The radar 122 is arranged on the rear bumper 3 so as to be exposed from the rear bumper 3. In the present embodiment, the rear bumper 3 is provided with an opening, and the radar 122 is exposed from this opening. FIG. 3A also shows an enlarged view of the plane view of the radar 122 with respect to the exposed surface 122S. The exposed surface 122S mainly includes a detection surface of the radar 122, which makes it possible to detect the presence or absence of an object on the rear left side of the vehicle 1.

FIG. 3B is a schematic cross-sectional view of the rear bumper 3 and the radar 122 at the cutting line d1-d1. The radar 122 is arranged so that the exposed surface 122S forms a recess 31 recessed with respect to the surface of the rear bumper 3. According to such a configuration, for example, when the rear bumper 3 comes into contact with an obstacle or the like, the radar 122 can be protected from the obstacle or the like, and damage to the radar 122 can be prevented. In the present embodiment, the side surface of the recess 31 is an inclined surface, that is, the angle formed by the surface of the peripheral portion of the recess 31 of the rear bumper 3 and the side surface of the recess 31 is an obtuse angle.

The vehicle 1 further includes an airflow regulating member 41 arranged on the side surface of the recess 31. The airflow regulating member 41 is configured to be able to regulate the flow of the traveling wind W that may occur when the vehicle 1 is traveling, and in the present embodiment, it is a fin-shaped convex portion (protruding portion) extending in the horizontal direction of the vehicle body. .. The airflow regulating member 41 may be integrally molded with the side surface of the recess 31, or may be attached to the side surface of the recess 31 via an adhesive or the like. The airflow of the traveling wind W is shown by a alternate long and short dash line in FIG. 3 (B).

By extending the airflow regulating member 41 in the horizontal direction of the vehicle body, the traveling wind W that may be generated when the vehicle is traveling is appropriately rectified by the airflow regulating member 41. The extension direction of the airflow regulating member 41 may be substantially parallel to the traveling surface (installation surface) of the vehicle 1, and when the acute angle formed by the traveling surface is θ1, for example, 0 ° ≤ θ1 ≤ 20 °. By setting the temperature within the range of (preferably 0 ° ≦ θ1 ≦ 10 °), the rectifying effect of the traveling wind W can be preferably obtained.

In the present embodiment, a plurality of airflow regulating members 41 are arranged side by side in the vertical direction of the vehicle body, whereby the rectifying effect can be improved. Here, three airflow regulating members 41 are shown, but the number of airflow regulating members 41 is not limited to this.

The airflow regulating member 41 may be provided in a streamlined manner, that is, the thickness gradually decreases toward the end of the member 41, and the height gradually decreases toward the end. It should be formed as follows. Thereby, the rectification effect can be improved. In the present specification, the thickness of the airflow regulating member 41 is defined by the width in the vertical direction of the vehicle body, and the height of the airflow regulating member 41 is defined by the width in the inside and outside of the vehicle body.

In the present embodiment, the airflow regulating member 41 has a shape that is biased toward the front side of the vehicle at both the highest height position and the thickest position, that is, drops in a plan view with respect to the exposed surface 122S. It has a shape outline. According to such a shape, the rectifying effect can be further improved. As another embodiment, the airflow regulating member 41 may have an elliptical shape, a diamond shape, or the like.

The same applies to other sensors including the camera 121 and the rider 123, but when the vehicle is running, foreign matter mixed in the running wind W may adhere to the detection surface of the radar 122. In general, if foreign matter adheres to the detection surface of the sensor, the detection accuracy of the sensor deteriorates, and it becomes difficult to start / continue the above-mentioned automatic operation, for example. Further, in general, airflow stagnation may occur in the recessed portion (corresponding to the recess 31 of the present embodiment), so that foreign matter may stay in the recessed portion.

The foreign matter referred to here refers to a foreign object or an unexpected object that may reduce the detection accuracy of the sensor, and typical examples thereof include dust, sand, mud, water droplets, and snow and ice.

In the present embodiment, since the airflow regulating member 41 is provided on the side surface of the recess 31, the traveling wind W is rectified and the airflow stagnation in the vicinity of the radar 122 is suppressed. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the foreign matter from adhering to the radar 122 (in other words, the amount of the foreign matter adhering to the radar 122 can be reduced, or the foreign matter adhering to the radar 122 can be removed by the rectified running wind W).

In many cases, the vehicle 1 travels forward. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the airflow regulating member 41 is provided in front of the radar 122 so as to be adjacent to the radar 122. However, even if the traveling wind W is rectified in a peripheral portion of the radar 122 other than the front of the radar 122, such as behind the radar 122, the airflow stagnation in the vicinity of the radar 122 can be eliminated due to the influence. Therefore, the airflow regulating member 41 may be provided around the radar 122 so as to be adjacent to the radar 122.

As can be seen from FIG. 3B, the airflow regulating member 41 is located inside the vehicle with respect to the surface around the recess 31 of the rear bumper 3 and does not protrude to the outside of the vehicle from the broken line in the drawing. That is, in the top view (from the viewpoint in the vertical direction of the vehicle body), the airflow regulating member 41 does not protrude from the outer edge of the vehicle body. As a result, in addition to the above-mentioned rectifying effect, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of unexpected troubles such as the clothes of a driver or a pedestrian being caught.

In order to properly rectify the traveling wind W, it is preferable to reduce the distance between the airflow regulating member 41 and the radar 122, but the airflow regulating member 41 is arranged outside the directional range (detection range) of the radar 122. It is good. As a result, it is possible to prevent foreign matter from adhering to the radar 122 without narrowing the directional range. In the present embodiment, the airflow regulating member 41 is provided on the side surface of the recess 31, but in another embodiment, the airflow regulating member 41 may be arranged in front of the rear fender, for example, the radar 122 and behind the rear wheel house. Good.

The airflow regulating member 41 and the radar 122 may be arranged side by side in the front-rear direction of the vehicle. As a result, the rectified traveling wind W passes in front of the radar 122, and it is possible to more appropriately prevent foreign matter from adhering to the radar 122. In particular, the airflow regulating member may be arranged so as to overlap the detection surface of the radar 122 in the normal projection in the front-rear direction of the vehicle, which makes it possible to prevent foreign matter from adhering to the detection surface.

In the present embodiment, the airflow regulating member 41 is located inside the vehicle with respect to the surface around the recess 31, but as a modification, the airflow regulating member 41 may extend to the surface around the recess 31. 5 (A) and 5 (B) show a modified example of the airflow regulating member 41 in the same manner as in FIGS. 3 (A) and 3 (B). As can be seen from FIG. 5B, in this example, the airflow regulating member 41 extends from the side surface of the recess 31 to the surface around the recess 31. By extending the airflow regulating member 41 to the outside of the recess 31 where negative pressure can occur, more running wind W passes through the airflow regulating member 41, and the running wind W can be rectified more effectively. Become.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the rear bumper 3 is provided with an airflow regulating member 41 that regulates the flow of the traveling wind W with respect to the radar 122 exposed from the rear bumper 3. According to such a structure, the flow of the traveling wind W generated during traveling can be made into a desired mode, and in the present embodiment, the airflow regulating member 41 is formed in a fin shape extending in the horizontal direction of the vehicle. By forming the convex portion, the traveling wind W can be appropriately rectified. As a result, the airflow stagnation of the traveling wind W in the vicinity of the radar 122 is suppressed, and it is possible to prevent foreign matter mixed in the traveling wind W from adhering to the radar 122.

Although the radar 122 exposed from the rear bumper 3 has been described in the present embodiment, the content of the present embodiment can be applied to any of the sensors 121 to 123 provided at an arbitrary portion of the outer wall portion of the vehicle body. As described above, the outer wall portion represents a portion that forms the outer surface of the vehicle body and is exposed on the outside of the vehicle body. In addition to the rear bumper 3 described above, for example, a rear fender, a trunk lid, a front bumper, a front fender, a hood panel, and a roof. Includes panels, door panels, etc. For example, the content of the present embodiment can also be applied to the rider 123 arranged so as to be exposed from the front bumper in the front side portion of the vehicle 1. In this case, the front bumper may be provided with an airflow regulating member that regulates the flow of the traveling wind W with respect to the rider 123. That is, the content of this embodiment can be applied to general / various vehicle body structures regardless of the type of sensor and its arrangement position.

(Second Embodiment)
In the first embodiment described above, it has been described that the airflow regulating member 41 is provided so as to rectify the traveling wind W, thereby preventing foreign matter from adhering to the radar 122. The second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that the airflow regulating member 42 is provided so as to obstruct the traveling wind W to the radar 122.

FIG. 4 (A) shows a perspective view of the rear bumper 3 according to the present embodiment in the same manner as in FIG. 3 (A), and FIG. 4 (B) shows a cross section of the rear bumper 3 and the radar 122 at the cutting line d2-d2. A schematic diagram is shown in the same manner as in FIG. 3 (B). In the present embodiment, the airflow regulating member 42 extends in the vertical direction of the vehicle body, thereby regulating the airflow of the traveling wind W so that the traveling wind W flows while avoiding the radar 122. According to the present embodiment, the foreign matter mixed in the traveling wind W is blocked by the airflow regulating member 42, and the foreign matter is prevented from adhering to the radar 122.

The extension direction of the airflow regulating member 42 may intersect the traveling surface of the vehicle 1, preferably substantially perpendicular to the traveling surface, and when the acute angle formed by the traveling surface is θ2, for example. It may be within the range of 60 ° ≤ θ2 ≤ 90 ° (preferably 80 ° ≤ θ2 ≤ 90 °).

The other contents described in the first embodiment can also be applied to the airflow regulating member 42. For example, like the airflow regulating member 41, the airflow regulating member 42 may be located inside the vehicle from the surface around the recess 31 of the rear bumper 3 so as not to protrude outside the vehicle from the broken line in the drawing. This makes it possible to prevent the occurrence of unexpected troubles. Further, for example, the airflow regulating member 42 may be arranged outside the directional range of the radar 122, like the airflow regulating member 41. As a result, it is possible to prevent foreign matter from adhering to the radar 122 without narrowing the directional range.
