[0033] For ease of description, in the present application, orientations such as up, down, left, right, front, and back are defined. The definition of these orientations is intended to determine the relative positional relationship in combination with the drawings and the text description, and does not constitute a limitation on the actual orientations of the devices, components, and parts involved in the present application during production, use, sales, etc.
[0034] To more clearly understand the technical solution of the present invention, the following further illustrates the present invention in conjunction with embodiments. The specific embodiments are only for facilitating the explanation of the content of the present invention, and the content protected by the present invention is not limited to the content disclosed in the specific embodiments.
[0035] As Figures 1 - 8 shown, this embodiment provides an ultrasonic sensor device, including an ultrasonic sensor 400 and a mounting device for mounting the ultrasonic sensor on the board of a corresponding device; the ultrasonic sensor 400 has a diaphragm 430 for transmitting and / or receiving ultrasonic signals; the mounting device includes a fixing member 500, a cover member 100, a pressure output member 200, a pressure balancing member 300, and a coupling member 800.
[0036] The fixing member 500 is a member for mounting the ultrasonic sensor device on the boards of various devices. The fixing member 500 has a connecting member 510 and a sensor receiving member 520; the connecting member 510 is used for fixedly connecting with the board of the device. In this embodiment, the connecting member 510 is closely attached to the board of the device by bonding with a double-sided tape 600; the connecting member 510 also has an opening for passing through the diaphragm of the ultrasonic sensor 400; the sensor receiving member 520 has a receiving space for accommodating the ultrasonic sensor 400; the ultrasonic sensor 400 also has a wiring plug 420 for external signal transmission. Through the wiring plug 420, the ultrasonic sensor 400 can perform signal transmission and reception; the wiring plug 420 protrudes from the outer shell of the ultrasonic sensor 400, and correspondingly, the sensor receiving member 520 has a corresponding notch for mating with the wiring plug 420.
[0037] The cover member 100 is vertically aligned with the fixing member 500, and the cover member 100 is movably and detachably connected to the fixing member 500.
[0038] The pressure output member 200 is disposed between the cover member 100 and the top surface of the ultrasonic sensor 400, the pressure balancing member 300 is disposed between the pressure output member 200 and the top surface of the ultrasonic sensor 400, and the coupling member 800 is attached to the diaphragm 430 of the ultrasonic sensor 400.
[0039] Specifically, the pressure output member 200 is an elastic member, providing the pre-tightening force (i.e., elastic force) required for the ultrasonic sensor to fit on the boards of various devices; the pressure output member 200 can be, but is not limited to, one of a spring, a spring sheet, and an elastic adhesive.
[0040] The pressure balance component 300 is mainly a memory material with high toughness, high temperature resistance (able to withstand temperatures up to 200 °C), a Shore hardness of around 50, which can disperse a unidirectional acting force into multiple directions, correct the direction of the acting force according to the direction of the contact surface where the force is applied (here referring to the surface where the plate of the device is in contact with the ultrasonic sensor 400), ultimately enabling the object under the acting force (here referring to the pressure output component 200) to reach a dynamic balance with the normal direction of the contact surface where the force is applied, and being able to restore its shape after the acting force is removed. The pressure output by the pressure output component 200 acts on the pressure balance component 300, and the pressure balance component 300 transmits the pressure to the ultrasonic sensor 400 and makes the coupling component 800 closely adhere to the plate of the device.
[0041] The normal direction of the contact surface mentioned above refers to the direction perpendicular to the contact surface where the force is applied. The adjustment of the normal direction of the contact surface is adjusted according to the angle of the plate of the device to be adhered by the ultrasonic sensor device, that is, it is adjusted when the coupling component 800 is fully adhered to the plate of the device.
[0042] The forward transmission path of the elastic force generated by the contraction of the pressure output component 200 of the present invention is: pressure output component 200 - pressure balance component 300 - ultrasonic sensor 400 - coupling component 800 - plate of the device. The force completes a forward transmission here. The reaction force of the device plate is transmitted to the coupling component 800. The coupling component 800 will absorb a part of the reaction force, undergo compression deformation, and then continue to transmit it to the ultrasonic sensor 400. The reaction force of the ultrasonic sensor 400 is transmitted to the pressure balance component 300. The material property of the pressure balance component 300 starts to play a corrective role, and the reaction force continues to be transmitted to the pressure output component 200. The force completes a reverse transmission here. Then, the elastic force generated by the contraction of the pressure output component 200 starts a new round of forward transmission. In this way, the force is transmitted back and forth until a dynamic balance is reached, that is, the coupling component 800 is fully adhered to the plate of the device according to the device. During the process of the force being transmitted back and forth like this, the pressure balance component 300 repeatedly corrects the direction of the force.
[0043] Specifically, the cover component 100 has a first limiting structure that restricts the position and maximum output force of the pressure output component 200. For example, in one embodiment, the pressure output component 200 is a conical spring, and the first limiting structure of the cover component 100 is an annular boss 130 provided at the top inside the cover component 100. The annular boss 130 is inserted into the round hole at the top end of the conical spring to restrict the radial displacement of the conical spring, and the protruding height of the annular boss 130 can restrict the maximum elastic force output by the pressure output component 200.
[0044] The connecting component 510 is a sheet-like structure composed of multiple mounting components capable of elastic deformation. In this embodiment, the connecting component 510 is a polygonal structure (of course, other structures such as circular can also be used). The mounting component is a sector-shaped piece 511 that forms the polygonal structure. The radius edge of the sector-shaped piece 511 presents a certain arc (clockwise arc); the polygonal structure composed of multiple sector-shaped pieces 511 enables the connecting component 510 to have a certain flexibility along the radial direction of the polygon, and can better adapt to the shape of the device's board; more preferably, around the opening of the connecting component 510, along the circumferential direction of the polygon, each mounting component of the connecting component 510 further has at least one flexible groove. The flexible groove divides each mounting component into multiple blocks along the circumferential direction, enabling the connecting component 510 to have a certain flexibility along the circumferential direction, so that the connecting component 510 can better adapt to the shape of the device's board.
[0045] In this embodiment, the coupling component 800 is a material with an orderly arrangement of internal media, capable of transmitting ultrasonic waves with nearly no loss, and will deform under pressure, being a low-damping ultrasonic conduction element; if the diaphragm 430 of the ultrasonic sensor 400 directly contacts the device, acoustic vibrations will generate clutter, making the ultrasonic sensor 400 unable to accurately detect obstacles. The setting of the coupling component 800 can perform shock absorption and buffering, reduce the influence of clutter on the detection accuracy, and improve the detection accuracy; the coupling component 800 is adhesively bonded to the diaphragm of the ultrasonic sensor 400.
[0046] Preferably, a sound-absorbing element is further provided at the bottom of the connecting component 510. For example, the sound-absorbing element can be a sound-absorbing cotton 710 arranged around the opening of the connecting component 510; a groove for placing the sound-absorbing cotton 710 is also provided at the bottom of the connecting component 510, and this groove is arranged around the opening of the connected component 510; the sound-absorbing cotton 710 is adhesively bonded to the inner upper part of the groove of the connecting component 510 by double-sided tape; the sound-absorbing cotton 710 can absorb the ultrasonic echo of the ultrasonic sensor, prevent false alarms, and improve the detection accuracy of the ultrasonic sensor.
[0047] The connecting component 510 is further provided with a positioning structure for installing the ultrasonic sensor device of the present invention at a specified position on the device's board; in combination Figure 3 、 7 As shown in 8, in this embodiment, the positioning structure is a plurality of positioning ears 513 arranged at intervals around the outer periphery of the connecting component 510. The positioning ears 513 protrude downward from the bottom surface of the connecting component 510. Correspondingly, the device's board has positioning grooves for receiving the positioning ears 513, so that the ultrasonic sensor device can be installed at a specified position on the decorative part; more preferably, a sound-absorbing cotton 720 is attached to the lower part of each positioning ear 513; a round platform 514 protruding upward is provided above the positioning ear 513, which is convenient for using a special jig to complete the installation of the ultrasonic sensor device.
[0048] The sensor receiving component 520 has several first protrusions 521 protruding outward. On the side surface of the corresponding cover component 100, there is an R-shaped sliding groove that cooperates with the first protrusion 521. The R-shaped sliding groove is arranged on the side surface of the cover component 100 starting from the edge part of the cover component 100. Each R-shaped sliding groove has a first card slot 110 and a second card slot 120. The position of the second slot 120 is higher than the position of the first card slot 110. The first protrusion 521 can slide between the first card slot 110 and the second card slot 120 of the R-shaped sliding groove. When the first protrusion 521 slides in the R-shaped sliding groove, the cover component 100 and the fixing component 500 are in a combined state. When the first protrusion 521 slides out of the R-shaped sliding groove, the cover component 100 and the fixing component 500 are in a separated state. The disassembly of the cover component 100 and the fixing component 500 is achieved by sliding each first protrusion out of the corresponding R-shaped sliding groove.
[0049] In the combined state of the cover component 100 and the fixing component 500, the ultrasonic sensor has a to-be-installed state and an installed state. The cover component 100 has a first position where the ultrasonic sensor device is not yet installed and a second position where the ultrasonic sensor device is installed.
[0050] When the first protrusion 521 of the sensor receiving component 520 abuts against the first card slot 110, the cover component 100 is in the first position, and the ultrasonic sensor device is in the to-be-installed state. When the first protrusion 521 of the sensor receiving component 520 abuts against the second card slot 120, the cover component 100 is in the second position, and the ultrasonic sensor device is in the to-be-installed state. The first position of the cover component 100 is higher than the second position of the cover component 100.
[0051] The sensor receiving component 520 has a second limiting structure. When the ultrasonic sensor device is in the to-be-installed state (the cover component 100 is in the first position), the second limiting structure can limit the ultrasonic sensor 400 in a certain position, so that the coupling component 800 does not protrude from the bottom plane of the sensor receiving component 520. Without the second limiting structure, it may occur that the coupling component 800 protrudes from the bottom plane position of the sensor receiving component 520. When installing the ultrasonic sensor device, before the positioning of the ultrasonic sensor device is completed, the coupling component 800 has already contacted the device first and adhered to the device, which is not conducive to the positioning and installation of the ultrasonic sensor device.
[0052] Combined Figure 1Generally, the side of the ultrasonic sensor 400 has at least one second protrusion 410 protruding outward. Specifically, the second limiting structure is arranged on the sensor receiving component 520 and has an elastic buckle 522 corresponding to the second protrusion 410. The elastic buckle 522 has a first boss 523 on the side facing the accommodating space and a third protrusion 524 on the side away from the accommodating space.
[0053] When the ultrasonic sensor device is in a state to be installed (the cover component 100 is in the first position), the second protrusion 410 of the ultrasonic sensor 400 abuts against the top of the first boss 523, and the third protrusion 524 is clamped by the cover component 100, thereby limiting the position of the ultrasonic sensor 400, and finally the coupling component 800 does not protrude from the bottom plane of the sensor receiving component 520.
[0054] The cover component 100 has a hollow release hole 140 corresponding to the elastic buckle 522. When the ultrasonic sensor device is in the installed state (the cover component 100 is in the second position), the relative position of the cover component 100 and the sensor receiving component 520 changes, and the third protrusion 524 of the elastic buckle 522 of the sensor receiving component 520 is located at the release hole 140, so that the force exerted on the third protrusion 524 of the elastic buckle 522 is released. Under the action of the pressure (here is the elastic force) output by the pressure output component 200, the ultrasonic sensor 400 is not restricted by the first boss 523 of the elastic buckle 522, and the ultrasonic sensor 400 is located below the first boss 523 of the elastic buckle 522, so that the coupling component is adhered to the board of the device.
[0055] The following describes the disassembly, assembly and use of the ultrasonic sensor device of the present invention:
[0056] (1) The ultrasonic sensor device of the present invention is in a state to be installed when it leaves the factory. At this time, the cover component 100 is in the first position, the first protrusion 521 of the sensor receiving component 520 abuts against the first slot 110, and the second protrusion 410 of the ultrasonic sensor 400 abuts against the top of the first boss 523; at this time, the compression amount of the pressure output component 200 is small, so the pressure provided to the ultrasonic sensor 400 is also small, the third protrusion 524 is clamped by the cover component 100, and the cover component 100 prevents the elastic buckle 522 from deforming outward, thereby ultimately limiting the position of the ultrasonic sensor 400. At this time, the coupling component 800 does not exceed the bottom plane of the sensor receiving component 520.
[0057] (2) Install the mounting ear 513 of the sensor receiving component 520 into the positioning groove of the board of the device to be installed. The bottom of the sensor receiving component 520 is fully adhered to the device through the double-sided tape 600, thus completing the installation of the sensor receiving component 520. At this time, the coupling component 800 has not achieved adhesion to the board of the device.
[0058] (3) Press down the cover component 100. The cover component 100 moves downward, and the third protrusion 524 moves into the release hole 140 of the cover component 100, releasing the pressure on the elastic buckle 522.
[0059] (4) Continue to press down the cover component 100 to further compress the pressure output component 200. The ultrasonic sensor 400 is subjected to an increased pressure from the pressure output component 200, causing the elastic buckle 522 to deform outward. The ultrasonic sensor 400 moves downward out of the restriction of the first boss 523 of the elastic buckle 522, allowing the coupling component 800 to contact the surface of the installed device.
[0060] (5) Press the cover component 100 to the bottom. The annular boss 130 of the cover component 100 will be pressed onto the pressure balance component 300. At this time, the pressure balance component 300 bears the pressure jointly under the combined action of the pressure output component 200 and the annular boss 130. The pressure balance component 300 distributes the force received to the ultrasonic sensor 400, making the ultrasonic sensor 400 force-balanced and enabling the coupling component 800 to be fully adhered to the installation contact surface.
[0061] While pressing the cover component 100 in the above steps (3) to (5), the first protrusion 521 of the sensor receiving component 520 slides relatively in the R-shaped chute. At this time, the third protrusion of the elastic buckle 522 is always located in the release hole 140.
[0062] (6) Gently rotate the cover component 100 to make the first protrusion 521 of the sensor receiving component 520 slide in the R-shaped chute. When the first protrusion 521 reaches the position of the second card slot 120, remove the external force. The first protrusion 521 of the sensor receiving component 520 abuts in the second card slot 120, and the cover component 100 is in the second position. The ultrasonic sensor device is in the installed state. At this time, under the pressure provided by the pressure output component 200, the position of the ultrasonic sensor is fixed and the installation is completed.
[0063] When the ultrasonic sensor 100 needs to be replaced, take out the first protrusion 521 of the sensor receiving component 520 from the R-shaped chute of the cover component 100, realizing the separation of the sensor structural component 520 and the cover component 100. The ultrasonic sensor 100 can be easily taken out and replaced.
[0064] The present invention provides a pre-tightening force for the ultrasonic sensor, enabling accurate detection of obstacles without opening holes in the trim of motor vehicles. Without opening holes, the integrity and aesthetics of the trim are maintained. Moreover, the ultrasonic sensor can adapt to the structures of plates of devices with different curvature configurations, increasing its versatility. In most of the relatively narrow spaces of motor vehicle trims, such as the inner side of the door panel, in order to solve the problem of difficult disassembly of the sensor, the present ultrasonic sensor device is designed with components that can simply and quickly disassemble and replace the sensor.
[0065] The present invention also provides a motor vehicle trim, which has a trim panel; characterized in that it further includes at least one ultrasonic sensor device as described in the above technical solution, and the ultrasonic sensor device is connected to the inner side of the trim panel of the motor vehicle trim through the fixing component of the installation device.
[0066] The present invention also provides a motor vehicle, including a vehicle body and a power system, characterized in that it further includes at least one of the above-mentioned motor vehicle trims.
[0067] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention can have various changes and modifications. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made without creative efforts within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
