Manufacturing die and method suitable for ACC millimeter wave heating cover plate
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of automobile exterior trimming parts and safety parts, and particularly relates to a manufacturing die and a manufacturing method suitable for an ACC millimeter wave heating cover plate.
Background
ACC is an Adaptive cruise control (Adaptive cruise control), and is especially important in the current electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles. In the driving process of an automobile, the ACC continuously senses the state of a front road through a radar in the front of the automobile, scans a front vehicle and is assisted with a wheel speed sensor on a wheel to feed back the speed of the vehicle, so that automatic acceleration and deceleration control is realized to a certain degree. The automatic speed-adjusting device not only can keep a certain running speed of a vehicle, but also can automatically adjust the vehicle speed according to the distance between the vehicle and a front vehicle to realize vehicle following so as to ensure the optimal safety distance between the vehicle and the front vehicle. The ACC technology is an active safety technology for preventing and reminding people before danger and protecting lives, and is the first step in the safety technical field of the automatic driving technology.
In the entire ACC adaptive cruise system, the most important application is millimeter wave radar (range sensor). Compared with a laser radar, an infrared radar and even a camera, the millimeter wave radar has the characteristics of being little affected by weather, small in size, high in integration level, high in frequency, short in wavelength, anti-interference, high in relative speed measuring accuracy and the like, so that the millimeter wave radar is selected as a main sensor for mainstream ACC vehicle types. And the millimeter wave radar plays a decisive role in the safety of the whole ACC system for feedback data obtained after scanning of a front vehicle.
The heating millimeter wave cover plate is arranged in front of a millimeter wave radar and fully covers a millimeter wave area emitted by the radar. The millimeter wave cover plate has the appearance performance requirement required by the exterior trimming part, simultaneously plays a role in shielding and protecting the radar, prevents the radar from being exposed in the environment and being physically or chemically damaged, and can be used for preventing burglary and exposing the structure. The attenuation degree of the ACC to the radar signal is an extremely important index for measuring the ACC cover plate. Due to the reason of the millimeter wave cover plate, the attenuation of radar waves and the deviation of the angle can cause serious influence on the identification of obstacles in automatic driving of the vehicle, so that the deviation of system judgment is caused, and finally serious traffic accidents such as vehicle collision loss and even casualties are caused.
The millimeter wave heating cover plate products in the market are few at present, and the current main technology is as follows: 1. placing a heating membrane on the surface of the cover plate, and bending the heating membrane to the back surface for installing a connector through insert injection molding; 2. and placing the heating membrane on the back of the cover plate, and performing injection molding through the insert.
For the first scheme, the requirement on the diaphragm is high, the diaphragm cost is high, the risk that the outer surface of the heating diaphragm is damaged is high, the risk of poor subsequent heating function and appearance is high, the connector part of the heating film needs to be bent to the back, the product process is long, and the rejection rate is high.
