FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along line AA of the vehicular lamp 1 of FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, the vehicular lamp 1 includes a lamp body 11, an outer lens 12, and a lamp chamber 14 formed by the lamp body 11 and the outer lens 12. In the interior of the lamp chamber 14, an extension 15 that shields the lamp 3 and the wiring in the lamp from the outside of the lamp is provided. A sensor unit 4 is assembled to the lamp body 11.
センサユニット４のうち、センサ４１は車体２の開口部２１に隠蔽され、反射板４３は、開口部２１から露出するように配置されている。センサ４１は、光Ｌを入射および出射する入出射口４２を備え、反射板４３は、光Ｌ１,Ｌ２の向きを変更する反射面４４を備えている。また、反射面４４は、入出射口４２およびアウターレンズ１２に向かうように設けられている。
Among the sensor units 4, the sensor 41 is concealed in the opening 21 of the vehicle body 2, and the reflection plate 43 is disposed so as to be exposed from the opening 21.

図４に、本発明の変形例を示す。この例では、ランプ３とセンサユニット４とを隔てる隔離壁１６を設けている。ランプ３とセンサユニット４を別部屋に収容することにより、ランプ３およびセンサユニット４間の温度上昇の干渉を防ぐことができるという効果がある。
FIG. 4 shows a modification of the present invention. In this example, an isolation wall 16 that separates the lamp 3 and the sensor unit 4 is provided. By housing the lamp 3 and the sensor unit 4 in separate rooms, there is an effect that it is possible to prevent the temperature rise interference between the lamp 3 and the sensor unit 4.
さらに、ランプを収容した部屋のみを接着剤でシールドし、センサを収容した部屋は、雨などの侵入を防ぐ程度に密閉するように構成しても良い。センサユニット４が故障などした場合に、センサの部屋を開いてセンサユニット４を交換したり、修理したりすることができるという効果がある。
Furthermore, only the room containing the lamp may be shielded with an adhesive, and the room containing the sensor may be sealed so as to prevent rain and the like from entering. When the sensor unit 4 breaks down, there is an effect that the sensor unit 4 can be opened and replaced or repaired.
図５に、本発明のその他の変形例を示す。この例では、灯具ボディ１１に、センサユニット４を収容した収納部４５を組み付け、収納部４５の開口部４６に、センサの光Ｌ１，Ｌ２を透過するセンサ用レンズ４７を設けている。センサ用レンズ４７とアウターレンズ１２とを別体に設けることにより、センサ光に適した材質のレンズを設けることができるという効果がある。
FIG. 5 shows another modification of the present invention. In this example, a housing portion 45 that houses the sensor unit 4 is assembled to the lamp body 11, and a sensor lens 47 that transmits sensor light L 1 and L 2 is provided in the opening 46 of the housing portion 45. By providing the sensor lens 47 and the outer lens 12 separately, there is an effect that a lens made of a material suitable for sensor light can be provided.

Further, the sensor lens 47 may be detachable from the lamp body 11. When the sensor unit 4 breaks down, the sensor lens 47 can be removed, and the sensor unit can be replaced or repaired.
図６は、センサ光Ｌ１，Ｌ２を透過する領域１３に、撥水加工を施した状態を示す。図６（ａ）では、アウターレンズ１２の一部に含まれる透過領域１３に撥水加工が施され、図６（ｂ）では、アウターレンズ１２の一部を隔離壁１６により画定し、この領域を透過領域１３として撥水加工が施されている。また、図６（ｃ）では、センサ用レンズ４７に撥水加工が施されている。撥水加工を施すことにより、センサ前方のレンズ１２，４７に水滴や汚れがつきにくくなり、透過光のノイズを軽減し、収集した情報の精度を高めることができるという効果がある。
FIG. 6 shows a state where the region 13 that transmits the sensor lights L1 and L2 is subjected to water repellent processing. In FIG. 6A, water-repellent processing is performed on the transmission region 13 included in a part of the outer lens 12, and in FIG. 6B, a part of the outer lens 12 is defined by the isolation wall 16, and this region Water-repellent processing is applied to the transparent region 13. In FIG. 6C, the sensor lens 47 is subjected to water repellent finishing. By applying the water repellent treatment, it is difficult for water droplets and dirt to be attached to the lenses 12 and 47 in front of the sensor, reducing the noise of transmitted light and improving the accuracy of collected information.
ここで、撥水加工としては、細かなエンボス加工や、微細な金属蒸着による表面改質が選択できる。具体的には、エンボス加工は、ＬｉＤＡＲのビーム径未満となる程度に細かく設けることが望ましい。この場合には、レンズ１２，４８による屈折を抑制する効果も期待できる。
Here, as the water repellent treatment, fine embossing or surface modification by fine metal deposition can be selected. Specifically, it is desirable that the embossing is finely provided so as to be less than the beam diameter of LiDAR. In this case, an effect of suppressing refraction by the lenses 12 and 48 can be expected.
金属蒸着では、フッ素化化合物やシリコンを用いて、蒸着により細かな凹凸を設ける表面処理を施し、いわゆるロータス効果を生じさせることが可能である。ロータス効果は、ポリエチレングリコールにグルコースやスクロースを組み合わせて用いることによっても得ることができる。さらに、蒸着面を薄く形成することにより、透過部表面をハーフミラー状に設け、反射板を目立たないように設けることも可能である。
In metal vapor deposition, it is possible to produce a so-called lotus effect by using a fluorinated compound or silicon to perform a surface treatment that provides fine irregularities by vapor deposition. The Lotus effect can also be obtained by using polyethylene glycol in combination with glucose or sucrose. Furthermore, by forming the vapor deposition surface thin, it is also possible to provide the surface of the transmission part in a half mirror shape and provide the reflector so as not to be noticeable.
なお、本発明は、上記実施例に限定されるものではなく、例えば、ヘッドランプに代えて、フォグランプ、サイドターンシグナルランプ、テール・ストップランプなどにセンサユニットを設けたり、灯具下部に代えて、灯具の上部、左右側方部などにセンサユニットを配置するなど、発明の趣旨を逸脱しない範囲で、各部の形状や構成を適宜変更して実施することも可能である。
The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, for example, instead of a headlamp, a sensor unit is provided in a fog lamp, a side turn signal lamp, a tail / stop lamp, etc. It is also possible to appropriately change the shape and configuration of each part without departing from the spirit of the invention, such as arranging the sensor unit on the upper part of the lamp, the left and right side parts, or the like.
