Vehicle including a virtual image optical system in a housing having heat dissipation
A vehicle includes a windshield, a display panel, a virtual image optical system forming an optical path of an image light emitted from the display panel onto the windshield, an outer housing, and a control circuit to control the display panel. The outer housing includes an outer case accommodating the virtual image optical system and having the image display panel attached thereto, an upper cover from which the image light is emitted, and a bottom cover covering a bottom portion of the outer case and having fins on an outer surface thereof. The bottom cover accommodates the display panel and the bottom surface of the outer case when fixed to the outer case and the display panel to isolate them from an external space of the outer housing. A heat conductive portion having a thermal conductivity higher than that of air is between the control circuit and the bottom cover.
ATTACHMENT STRUCTURE OF ONBOARD STEREO CAMERA UNIT
An attachment structure of an onboard stereo camera unit comprises a bracket unit, a camera unit, one fitting-fixing mechanism, and engaging-holding mechanisms. The bracket unit is configured to be attached to a vehicle. The camera unit is configured to be mounted on the bracket unit and comprises at least camera devices in a left and right pair. The fitting-fixing mechanism is configured to fix the camera unit to the bracket unit. The engaging-holding mechanisms are configured to define a mounting posture of the camera unit and engage and hold the camera unit when the camera unit is attached to the bracket unit.
HEAD-UP DISPLAY
A head-up display includes a virtual image optical system forming an optical path of an image light emitted from a display panel that displays a light from a backlight as the image light and an outer housing. The outer housing includes an outer case accommodating the virtual image optical system, a first cover that covers an upper portion of the outer case, and a second cover that covers a bottom portion of the outer case. The first cover has an opening through which the image light is emitted. The second cover has a first plane, a first inclined surface inclined from a first side of the first plane toward a first side of the outer case, and a second inclined surface inclined from a second side of the first plane toward a second side of the outer case. The first inclined surface has an inner surface that faces the backlight.
VEHICLE
A vehicle shown herein is a side by side powersports vehicle having a utility bed recessed in the rear body portion below an upper surface, the utility bed forming a stepped portion relative to the rear body portion and having a maximum lateral width greater than a diameter of at least one of the wheels, and a minimum width less than a diameter of at least one of the wheels, whereby a spare wheel may be stored on the stepped portion of the utility bed. As shown herein, the utility bed is defined as a removable tub, which can be removed from the rear body portion. The utility bed has defined troughs in a floor thereof angled rearwardly wherein the utility bed has drains which drain away from any heat source of the vehicle. The seats of the vehicle allow longitudinal movement and tilt capability.
Sensor mounting assembly in vehicles
A sensor mounting assembly is provided. The sensor mounting assembly includes a cover having a base portion and a shroud portion. The base portion is coupled to a glass roof of a vehicle and forms a first protrusion. The shroud portion has a first extension that is coupled to the first protrusion and encloses a sensor that is disposed proximate to the glass roof of the vehicle. The sensor mounting assembly further includes a bracket coupled to a roof rail that is located beneath the glass roof of the vehicle. The bracket is secured to the roof rail from an interior cabin of the vehicle, to hold the sensor proximate to the glass roof of the vehicle.
Mounting structure for mounting an electronic device
A mounting structure includes base wall formed of a thermally conductive material and configured to provide a thermally conductive pathway between an electronic device mounted to an inner side of the base wall and a panel in contact with an outer side of the base wall that is opposite the inner side. The outer side includes a plurality of bumps configured to engage the panel. The base wall includes a plurality of tabs. Each tab configured to receive a corresponding fastener to secure the base wall to the panel.
