Description

A VISOR FOR A VEHICLE AND A VEHICLE COMPRISING SUCH VISOR

TECHNICAL FIELD The invention relates to an arrangement for facilitating provision of external sensors of a vehicle. The invention also relates to a vehicle.

BACKGROUND ART

External sensors such as cameras, radars, laser scanners etc. are used to an increasing degree on vehicle, e.g. heavy commercial vehicles such as trucks.

There is thus a need for facilitating provision of external sensors of a vehicle.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION

An object of the present invention is to provide arrangement for facilitating provision of external sensors of a vehicle.

Another object of the invention is to provide a vehicle comprising such an arrangement.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION These and other objects, apparent from the following description, are achieved by an arrangement and a vehicle as set out in the appended independent claims. Preferred embodiments of the arrangement are defined in appended dependent claims. Specifically an object of the invention is achieved by an arrangement for facilitating provision of external sensors of a vehicle. The arrangement comprises a visor element arranged to be mounted externally on an upper portion of the vehicle in connection to the windshield of the vehicle wherein a set of external sensors is configured to be integrated in the visor element.

By thus integrating a set of external sensors in such a visor element aerodynamics may be improved in that for external sensors projecting out from the vehicle and hence negatively affecting aerodynamics may be reduced/eliminated. Thus, hereby the vehicle may be more energy efficient in that energy consumption, e.g. fuel consumption, may be reduced. Further, by integrating a set of external sensors in such a visor element, costs related to mounting such sensors may be reduced. Further, impact on the vehicle due to mounting of such external sensors may be reduced.

According to an embodiment of the arrangement the visor element is a sun visor element. By utilizing the visor element as a sun visor element it may be used both for the purpose of providing sun shield and functioning as support for and use of the set of external sensors integrated in the visor element.

According to an embodiment of the arrangement the visor element comprises a front portion and side portions, the side portions being configured to be located externally on an upper portion of the vehicle in connection to the side doors of the vehicle. By thus providing a visor element also having side portions more options for location of the integrated set of external sensors in the visor element is facilitated. Thus, hereby one or more sensors of the set of integrated sensors may be arranged in the side portions, facilitating use of sensor requiring detection from the side of the vehicle.

According to an embodiment of the arrangement said side portions are pivotally connected to the front portion of the visor element so that the side portions are allowed to turn with the doors. By thus having said side portions pivotally connected to the front portion of the visor element so that the side portions are allowed to turn with the doors the side portions may be arranged in connection to the side doors without opening and closing of the side doors affecting the arrangement of the visor element in the upper portion of the cab of the vehicle. Sensors arranged in the side portions of the visor element may hereby be efficiently used also when the door is opened and in an open position.

According to an embodiment of the arrangement said side portions are pivotally connected to the front portion of the visor element so that the side portions are allowed to be turned outwardly relative to the doors. By thus having said side portions pivotally connected to the front portion of the visor element so that the side portions are allowed to be turned outwardly relative to the doors, external sensors configured to be arranged on the side of the vehicle and requiring a certain projection out from the side of the vehicle in order to obtain desired detection may hereby be arranged in the side portions of the visor element and provide the desired detection function when the side portion is turned outwardly relative to the doors/side of the vehicle. Thus, hereby no external sensors requiring certain projection from the side of the vehicle is required, thus improving aerodynamics.

According to an embodiment of the arrangement one or more sensors of the set of integrated sensors are arranged in at least one of said side portions of the visor element.

According to an embodiment of the arrangement a control device is configured to be operably connected to one or more of the set of external sensors configured to be integrated in the visor element. Hereby efficient operation of the set of external sensors integrated in the visor element is facilitated.

According to an embodiment of the arrangement the control device is configured to be located internally at an upper portion within the cab. By thus having the control device located internally at an upper portion within the cab, e.g. in connection to the sealing of the cab, efficient connection to the set of external sensors integrated in the visor element is facilitated in that the visor element is arranged externally at an upper portion of the cab.

According to an embodiment of the arrangement one or more of the set of integrated sensors are configured to detect need for additional sun shield. By thus having or more of the set of integrated sensors configured to detect need for additional sun shield, information about required sun shield may be obtained in an efficient way and utilized to optimize the degree of sun shield during drive of the vehicle.

According to an embodiment the arrangement comprises a sun shield adaption device for adapting the degree of sun shield. Hereby the required degree of sun shield required may be efficiently optimized.

According to an embodiment of the arrangement the device for adapting the degree of sun shield comprises at least one movable sun shield element configured to be moved for adapting degree of sun cover in connection to windshield and/or side windows of side doors. Hereby the required degree of sun shield required may be efficiently optimized.

According to an embodiment of the arrangement the degree of sun shield is configured to be adapted by means of the sun shield adaption device based on information from the one or more sensors configured to detect need for additional sun shield. Hereby the required degree of sun shield required may be efficiently optimized by means of the sun shield adaption device based on information from the sensors. The sun shield adaption device is according to an embodiment configured to control the movable sun shield element based on information from the one or more sensors configured to detect need for additional sun shield.

Specifically an object of the invention is achieved by vehicle comprising an arrangement as set out herein. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
