Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of vehicle technology, and in particular to a radar integrated system with a cover capable of flipping open and close, and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] Intelligent driving is a hot topic in the automotive industry, and LiDAR is a core detection component for intelligent driving. Currently, LiDAR is mostly implemented by attaching it to the bumper or roof, using either a fixed, exposed structure or a simple retractable structure. Whether exposed or retractable, the radar device is directly connected to the outside world, whether in use or not. This makes it susceptible to contamination from external pollutants such as dust and sewage, which can affect its performance. Furthermore, without any protective devices on the vehicle, the radar device is susceptible to external impacts and even during use, making it more susceptible to damage and shortening its service life. Summary of the Invention

[0017] The second axis line of the second connecting rod is parallel to the first axis line of the first connecting rod, so that when the cover plate moves along the slide groove driven by the driving motor, the cover plate rotates under the action of the second connecting rod; the second axis line is the axis line of the rotating shaft at the rotatable connection between the second connecting rod and the cover plate, and the first axis line is the axis line of the rotating shaft at the rotatable connection between the first connecting rod and the cover plate.

[0018] Optionally, the device further comprises a hinge rod, which is fixedly connected to the cover plate and extends in a direction parallel to the axis of the second connecting rod shaft, and one end of the second connecting rod is rotatably connected to one end of the hinge rod, so that the cover plate and the hinge rod rotate together relative to the second connecting rod;

[0027] The radar integrated system with a reversible cover of the present invention utilizes the design of the cover and cover drive mechanism. When the radar assembly needs to extend from the first opening of the fender, the cover drive mechanism drives the cover to close the first opening, without affecting the normal use of the radar assembly. When the radar assembly retracts from the first opening into the fender, the cover drive mechanism again drives the cover to close the first opening, preventing the radar assembly from being directly exposed to the outside for a long time and being contaminated by external dust or sewage, which would affect its use.

[0038] Figure 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a radar integrated system with a flippable cover disposed on a fender according to one embodiment of the present invention; Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a schematic exploded view of a radar integrated system with a flippable cover according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the present embodiment provides a radar integrated system 100 with a flippable cover, and the radar integrated system 100 with a flippable cover is arranged at the fender 200 of the vehicle. Specifically, the vehicle of the present embodiment includes a plurality of fenders 200. Specifically, in a general car, the vehicle has four fenders 200, which are respectively located above the four tires. A first opening 201 is provided at each fender 200, and the first opening 201 is located above the wheel arch. A radar integrated system 100 with a flippable cover can be provided at each first opening 201. The following description will be made by taking a radar integrated system 100 with a flippable cover as an example.

[0039] More specifically, the radar integrated system 100 with a flippable cover in this embodiment may include a fixed frame 10, a cover 20, a cover drive mechanism 30, and a radar assembly 40. The fixed frame 10 is fixedly connected to the fender 200 and is provided with a slide slot 11. The cover drive mechanism 30 is located within the fixed frame 10 and is connected to the cover 20, configured to cause the cover 20 to move in a controlled manner to open or close the first opening 201.

[0040] Figure 3 is a schematic structural diagram of the connection between a cover plate and a cover plate driving mechanism according to one embodiment of the present invention;

[0041] Figure 4 FIG. 1 is a schematic partial structural diagram of the connection between the cover plate and the cover plate driving mechanism according to an embodiment of the present invention. Specifically, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the cover drive mechanism 30 may include a cover drive motor 31 and a motion mechanism 32. One end of the motion mechanism 32 is connected to and driven by the cover drive motor 31, and the other end is connected to the cover 20. Driven by the cover drive motor 31, the motion mechanism 32 drives the cover 20 to move along the slide 11 and simultaneously drives the cover 20 to rotate to open and close the first opening 201. The radar assembly 40 is configured to be controlled to extend from the first opening 201 to the outside of the fender 200 when the first opening 201 is open.

[0042] Specifically, in this embodiment, due to the presence of the first opening 201, the cover 20 and the cover drive mechanism 30 can open and close the first opening 201, so that the radar assembly 40 will only be extended outside the fender 200 when the first opening 201 is open. Therefore, through the design of the cover 20 and the cover drive mechanism 30, when the radar assembly 40 needs to extend from the fender 200 through the first opening 201, the cover drive mechanism 30 drives the cover 20 to close the first opening 201, without affecting the normal use of the radar assembly 40. When the radar assembly 40 retracts from the first opening 201 into the fender 200, the cover drive mechanism 30 again drives the cover 20 to close the first opening 201, preventing the radar assembly 40 from being directly exposed to the outside for a long time and being contaminated by external dust or sewage, which would affect its use. At the same time, the cover 20 also prevents external impact on the radar assembly, preventing damage to the radar assembly 40 and extending its service life.

[0043] As a specific embodiment of the present invention, the motion mechanism 32 of this embodiment may include a crank 321 and a first connecting rod 322. One end of the crank 321 is fixedly connected to the output shaft 311 of the cover drive motor 31 so as to rotate along with the output shaft 311. One end of the first connecting rod 322 is rotatably connected to the end of the crank 321 away from the output shaft 311, and the other end is connected to the cover 20. The rotation axis of the first connecting rod 322 is parallel to the rotation axis of the crank 321. A cam is provided on the side of the first connecting rod 322, and the cam is clamped at the slide groove 11. When the crank 321 rotates along with the output shaft 311, the cam moves along the slide groove 11, so that the cover 20 runs along a track parallel to the slide groove 11.

[0044] In this embodiment, the output shaft 311 of the cover drive motor 31 is directly connected to one end of the crank 321, and the crank 321 rotates with the output shaft 311 of the cover drive motor 31. One end of the first connecting rod 322 is rotatably connected to the other end of the crank 321, and the other end of the first connecting rod 322 is connected to the cover 20. Therefore, when the output shaft 311 of the cover drive motor 31 rotates, the cover 20 is driven by the crank 321 and the first connecting rod 322. Because the first connecting rod 322 is provided with a cam, and the cam is constrained by the chute 11, the cover 20 also moves along a path parallel to the chute 11. When the chute 11 extends from the first opening 201 to the interior of the fender 200, the cover 20, driven by the crank 321 and the first connecting rod 322, continuously reciprocates between the first opening 201 and the interior of the fender 200.

[0045] The cover driving mechanism 30 of this embodiment only includes a cover driving motor 31 and a motion mechanism 32, and the motion mechanism 32 only includes a crank 321 and a first connecting rod 322. The cover driving mechanism 30 has a simple structure, a single driving force, and a simple motion process, and can achieve the purpose of opening and closing the first opening 201 of the cover 20.

[0046] More specifically, in this embodiment, there are two slide grooves 11, which are arranged in mirror image relation, and the first connecting rod 322 is located between the two slide grooves 11. There are two cams, which are arranged on two opposite sides of the first connecting rod 322 facing the two slide grooves 11, and each cam is corresponding to one of the slide grooves 11.

[0047] Specifically, in this embodiment, cams are located on the left and right sides of the first connecting rod 322, and the chute 11 is also located on the left and right sides of the first connecting rod 322. The cams engage the chute 11. When the first connecting rod 322 moves, the cam-mounted portion of the first connecting rod 322 can only move along the chute 11 due to the action of the chute 11. The design of two chute 11 and two cams in this embodiment further facilitates the stable movement of the cover plate 20, preventing tilting or jamming during movement.

[0048] In reality, in a radar integrated system 100 with a flippable cover, the fender 200 is not a straight structure, but rather has a curved structure. As the cover 20 is driven along the slide 11, due to its size, it is prone to interference and friction with surrounding components. Therefore, in actual use, the cover 20 needs to rotate while moving horizontally to facilitate opening and closing the first opening 201.

[0049] As a specific embodiment of the present invention, the motion mechanism 32 of this embodiment may further include a second connecting rod 323, one end of which is rotatably connected to the fixed frame, and the other end of which is rotatably connected to the cover plate 20. The second axis of the second connecting rod 323 is parallel to the first axis of the first connecting rod 322, so that when the cover plate 20 moves along the slide groove 11 under the drive of the cover plate drive motor 31, the cover plate 20 rotates under the action of the second connecting rod 323; the second axis is the axis of the rotation shaft at the rotatable connection between the second connecting rod 323 and the cover plate 20, and the first axis is the axis of the rotation shaft at the rotatable connection between the first connecting rod 322 and the cover plate 20.

[0050] Since the cover plate 20 in this embodiment flips under the drive of the second connecting rod 323, the cover plate 20 cannot move if the first axis and the second axis coincide. Therefore, in this embodiment, the first axis and the second axis must be arranged in parallel. In this embodiment, only one second connecting rod 323 is connected to the cover plate 20. Under the joint action of the first connecting rod 322 and the second connecting rod 323, and driven by the cover plate drive motor 31, the cover plate 20 moves along a trajectory parallel to the slide slot 11 while flipping, thereby facilitating the cover plate 20 to open and close the first opening 201. As a specific embodiment of the present invention, the radar integrated system 100 with a flippable cover plate in this embodiment can also include a hinge rod 324, which is fixedly connected to the cover plate 20 and extends in a direction parallel to the axis of the second connecting rod 323. One end of the second connecting rod 323 is rotatably connected to one end of the hinge rod 324, so that the cover plate 20 and the hinge rod 324 rotate together relative to the second connecting rod 323. The hinge rod 324 is located at one side of the cover plate 20 , so that when the cover plate 20 closes the first opening 201 , the hinge rod 324 is located inside the fender 200 .

[0051] Specifically, there may be two second connecting rods 323 , which are parallel to each other and respectively located at two ends of the hinge rod 324 . The two second connecting rods 323 and the hinge rod 324 form a U-shaped structure.

[0052] In this embodiment, the hinge rod 324 is disposed transversely on the inner side of the cover plate 20. Two second connecting rods 323 are rotatably connected to the left and right ends of the hinge rod 324. The first connecting rod 322 is rotatably connected to the middle position of the inner side of the cover plate 20. The plane of the first connecting rod 322 is parallel to the plane of the second connecting rod 323. The design of the two connecting rods makes the cover plate 20 more stable during movement and flipping.

[0053] Figure 5 is a schematic structural diagram showing a cover plate with a first opening opened and a radar device extending from the first opening to a fender according to an embodiment of the present invention; Figure 6 is a schematic structural diagram of the connection between a radar device and a radar driving mechanism according to one embodiment of the present invention; Figure 7 FIG. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a radar device and a dual connection mechanism according to an embodiment of the present invention. As a specific embodiment of the present invention, Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the radar assembly 40 of the radar integrated system 100 with a flippable cover in this embodiment may include a radar device 41 and a radar drive mechanism 42. The radar device 41 is located near the first opening 201. The radar drive mechanism 42 may include a radar drive motor 43 and a double-link mechanism. One end of the double-link mechanism is rotatably connected to the radar device 41, and the other end is rotatably connected to the fender 200. When the radar drive motor 43 drives the double-link mechanism in a controlled manner, the double-link mechanism drives the radar device 41 to rotate relative to the fender 200, thereby extending from or retracting the fender 200 through the first opening 201.

[0054] In this embodiment, the radar integrated system 100 with a flippable cover may include a radar device 41 and a radar driving mechanism 42, and the radar driving mechanism 42 may include a radar driving motor 43 and a double-link mechanism 44. The radar driving motor 43 drives the double-link mechanism 44 to move, and the double-link mechanism 44 drives the radar device 41 to move, so that the radar device 41 can rotate relative to the fender 200 and extend from the first opening 201 or retract into the fender 200.

[0055] As a specific embodiment of the present invention, the double-link mechanism 44 of this embodiment may include a first rotating shaft 441, a first swing arm 442, a second rotating shaft 443, and a second swing arm 444. The first rotating shaft 441 is rotatably connected to the fender 200 and is connected to the radar drive motor 43 to rotate under the drive of the radar drive motor 43. One end of the first swing arm 442 is fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft 441 so as to rotate about the axis of the first rotating shaft 441 when the first rotating shaft 441 rotates, and the other end of the first swing arm 442 is rotatably connected to the radar device 41. The second rotating shaft 443 is rotatably connected to the fender 200 and is arranged parallel to the first rotating shaft 441. One end of the second swing arm 444 is rotatably connected to the radar device 41, and the other end is fixedly connected to the second rotating shaft 443. When the first rotating shaft 441 rotates driven by the radar driving motor 43 , the radar device 41 is driven to flip and move under the joint action of the first swing arm 442 , the second swing arm 444 and the second rotating shaft 443 .

[0056] In this embodiment, the dual-link mechanism 44 comprises only a first rotating shaft 441, a first swing arm 442, a second rotating shaft 443, and a second swing arm 444. Its structure is simple and its motion is clear. Furthermore, the dual-link mechanism 44 is connected to the radar device 41. Driven by the radar drive motor 43, the dual-link mechanism 44 can drive the radar device 41 to move, achieving simultaneous movement and rotation of the radar device 41, ensuring that the detection angle of the radar device 41 meets the requirements and achieving the purpose of internally storing the radar device 41.

[0057] As a specific embodiment of the present invention, the number of the first swing arms 442 in this embodiment is two, the two first swing arms 442 are arranged in parallel, and the two first swing arms 442 are rotatably connected to the upper and lower sides of the radar device 41 respectively.

[0058] Specifically, the two first swing arms 442 are both fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft 441 and are arranged one above the other. When the first rotating shaft 441 rotates, the two first swing arms 442 move simultaneously, thereby pushing the radar device 41 to move.

[0059] As a specific embodiment of the present invention, the number of the second swing arms 444 in this embodiment is two, the two second swing arms 444 are arranged in parallel, and the two second swing arms 444 are rotatably connected to the upper and lower sides of the radar device 41 respectively.

[0060] Specifically, the two second swing arms 444 are respectively located on the sides of the two first swing arms 442, and when the first swing arm 442 moves under the drive of the driving device, the first swing arm 442 drives the radar device 41 to move, and the radar device 41 then drives the second swing arm 444 to move, and the second swing arm 444 rotates relative to the second rotating shaft 443, thereby realizing the flipping movement of the radar device 41.

[0061] As a specific embodiment of the present invention, the length of the second swing arm 444 of this embodiment is not equal to the length of the first swing arm 442, or the distance between the first rotating shaft 441 and the second rotating shaft 443 is not equal to the target distance, and the target distance is the distance between the hinge point of the first swing arm 442 and the radar mechanism and the distance between the hinge point of the second swing arm 444 and the radar mechanism.

[0062] Because the dual-hinge mechanism in this embodiment ultimately aims to achieve the flipping motion of the radar device 41, when the lengths of the first swing arm 442 and the second swing arm 444 are equal, the distance between the first rotation axis 441 and the second rotation axis 443 cannot be equal to the target distance. Alternatively, when the distance between the first rotation axis 441 and the second rotation axis 443 is equal to the target distance, the lengths of the first swing arm 442 and the second swing arm 444 cannot be equal. If the lengths of the first swing arm 442 and the second swing arm 444 are equal, and the distance between the first rotation axis 441 and the second rotation axis 443 is equal to the target distance, the radar device 41 can only move horizontally and cannot rotate.

[0063] Furthermore, the motion trajectory of the radar device 41 is not only dependent on the length of the swing arm and the distance between its ends, but also on the relative positions of the radar device 41, the rotating shaft, and the first opening 201. For example, in this embodiment, the radar device 41 is located to the left of the first rotating shaft 441. When the first rotating shaft 441 rotates counterclockwise, the radar device 41 as a whole moves outward from the fender 200, while when the first rotating shaft 441 rotates clockwise, the radar device 41 as a whole moves inward from the fender 200. If the radar device 41 is located to the right of the first rotating shaft 441, when the first rotating shaft 441 rotates counterclockwise, the radar device 41 as a whole moves inward from the fender 200, while when the first rotating shaft 441 rotates clockwise, the radar device 41 as a whole moves outward from the fender 200.

[0064] More specifically, in this embodiment, the length of the first swing arm 442 is greater than the length of the second swing arm 444 , and the distance between the first rotating shaft 441 and the second rotating shaft 443 is less than the target distance.

[0065] In this embodiment, since the length of the first swing arm 442 is greater than the length of the second swing arm 444, when the first swing arm 442 rotates counterclockwise when viewed from top to bottom, the radar device 41 moves from the inside to the outside of the fender 200, and at the same time, the radar device 41 also rotates counterclockwise when viewed from top to bottom.

[0066] As a specific embodiment of the present invention, the radar integrated system 100 with a flippable cover can further include a housing 50. The housing 50 is provided with a second opening 51. The housing 50 is fixedly mounted on the inner side of the fender 200, and the second opening 51 is arranged corresponding to the first opening 201. The fixed frame 10 is disposed within the housing 50, and the first rotating shaft 441 and the second rotating shaft 443 are both rotatably connected to the fixed frame 10.

[0067] In this embodiment, since the fixed frame 10 is arranged in the shell 50, and the shell 50 is fixedly arranged on the fender 200, when the first rotating shaft 441 and the second rotating shaft 443 are rotatably connected relative to the fixed frame 10, it is equivalent to the first rotating shaft 441 and the second rotating shaft 443 being rotatably connected to the fender 200 through the fixed frame 10 and the shell 50.

[0068] In this embodiment, the housing 50 is sealed except for the second opening 51 when the housing 50 is combined with the fixed frame 10. The housing 50 is positioned so that the first opening 201 and the second opening 51 cooperate and seal with each other. When the cover 20 is at the first opening 201, dust or sewage from the outside cannot enter the housing 50, thereby preventing contamination of any components within the housing 50. This prevents any damage to the components within the housing 50 and extends the service life.

[0069] As a specific embodiment of the present invention, the radar integrated system 100 with a flippable cover of this embodiment may also include a cleaning device (not shown in the figure), which is arranged in the shell 50 and is located on the side of the radar device 41 away from the fender 200, for being started in a controlled manner to clean the radar device 41.

[0070] In this embodiment, since the radar device 41 also rotates to the inner side of the fender 200 when it is retracted into the interior of the fender 200, if the radar device 41 is contaminated by dust, sewage, or the like during use, the radar device 41 can be cleaned using a cleaning device, thereby ensuring that the radar device 41 can better detect the vehicle's surroundings and avoiding misjudgments.

[0071] As a specific embodiment of the present invention, the cleaning device of this embodiment may include a water storage box, a pipe, and a nozzle. The water storage box is used to store the cleaning liquid required for cleaning the radar device 41. One end of the pipe is connected to the water storage box and is located within the cleaning liquid. A water pump is also provided on the pipe. The other end of the pipe is connected to the nozzle, and a solenoid valve is provided on the nozzle. The water pump and the solenoid valve are controlled to be activated to spray the cleaning liquid in the water storage box onto the radar device 41.

[0072] In this embodiment, the nozzle faces the radar device 41. When the radar device 41 needs to be cleaned, the radar device 41 can be further rotated to face the position of the nozzle, thereby ensuring that the liquid sprayed from the nozzle can smoothly reach the radar device 41.

[0073] During the final assembly of the radar integrated system 100 with a flippable cover in this embodiment, the cover 20 and the cover drive mechanism 30 are first set to the open state by the equipment. Then, the worker lifts the radar device 41 from the bottom to the installation position by lifting the tool and temporarily fixes it to the vehicle body shotgun through the pre-hanging structure. Then, the worker connects the front cabin wiring harness with the wiring harness of the radar device 41, and then adapts and fastens the radar device 41 to the vehicle body shotgun through the adaptive nut. After powering on the equipment, the cover 20 is closed. Finally, the worker adjusts the adaptive nut to adjust the gap surface difference between the cover 20 and the fender 200.
