Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of camera mounting, and more particularly to a camera mounting fixture for mounting a camera onto, for example, a shark fin antenna. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, when installing cameras, such as when mounting a camera onto a shark fin antenna, they are assembled using a single camera module base and a metal base plate, and then tightened together with screws.

[0003] However, the camera module itself has tolerances. During the installation process described above, the camera module often has deviations in its installation position, especially in the horizontal and vertical directions. Therefore, it cannot be guaranteed that the camera module will meet the installation requirements in the drawings after installation. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to provide an adjustable camera mounting fixture that can fix the camera module in three dimensions during installation, so as to avoid deviation in the installation position of the camera module on the product.

[0005] Therefore, the present invention provides a camera mounting fixture for assembling a camera module onto a base plate of a product, comprising: a base having a worktable defining a receiving portion for receiving the base plate; and a camera positioning device disposed near the receiving portion at a longitudinal end of the worktable, and including a longitudinal positioning mechanism, a vertical positioning mechanism, and a lateral positioning mechanism; wherein the camera positioning device is configured to move between an idle position and a fixed position, in which the longitudinal positioning mechanism, the vertical positioning mechanism, and the lateral positioning mechanism are away from the camera module pre-assembled onto the base plate; in the fixed position, the longitudinal positioning mechanism prevents the camera module from moving longitudinally on the base plate, the vertical positioning mechanism prevents the camera module from moving vertically, and the lateral positioning mechanism prevents the camera module from moving laterally on the base plate.

[0006] According to one aspect of the present invention, the longitudinal positioning mechanism may include: a first mounting base capable of translation in a lateral direction; a first limiting member fixedly mounted to the first mounting base, wherein when the first limiting member is translated to the fixed position, the first limiting member abuts against the front end of the camera module; and a second limiting member pivotally connected to the first limiting member, wherein when the second limiting member is pivoted to the fixed position, the second limiting member abuts against the rear end of the camera module.

[0007] According to one aspect of this application, the longitudinal positioning mechanism may further include a first slide rail mechanism arranged in the transverse direction. The first slide rail mechanism includes a first slide rail, a slide rail carrier plate, a first stop and a second stop arranged at both ends of the slide rail carrier plate, and a first slider that can move along the first slide rail mechanism between the first stop and the second stop. The first mounting base is fixedly connected to the first slider, so that the first slider can drive the first mounting base to move in the transverse direction, thereby driving the first limiting member and the second limiting member to translate in the transverse direction.

[0008] Preferably, the longitudinal positioning mechanism may further include a longitudinal fine-tuning mechanism, which includes an adjusting screw connected to the first slide rail carrier plate and an adjusting screw limiting member fixed to the worktable. By turning the adjusting screw, the first slide rail carrier plate is moved in the longitudinal direction, thereby adjusting the position of the camera module on the base plate in the longitudinal direction.

[0009] According to one aspect of the invention, the second limiting member has a first arm portion and a second arm portion parallel to each other and a main body portion connecting the two, wherein the first arm portion is pivotally connected to the first limiting member, and in the fixed position, the second arm portion abuts against the rear end of the camera module, wherein the first mounting base is configured to extend below the second limiting member to define the pivot angle of the second limiting member.

[0010] According to one aspect of the invention, the first arm portion is provided with a mounting hole extending longitudinally therein, and the first arm portion is connected to a first limiting member by a pivot shaft and a compression spring disposed in the mounting hole.

[0011] According to one aspect of the present invention, the vertical positioning mechanism may include: a second slide rail mechanism for fixing the worktable, the second slide rail mechanism including a second slide rail arranged in a transverse direction, a third stop disposed at one end of the second slide rail away from the camera module, and a second slider movable along the second slide rail; and a vertical limiting member disposed on the second slider, the vertical limiting member being mounted to be movable relative to the second slider in a vertical direction, wherein in the fixed position, the vertical limiting member abuts against the upper side surface of the camera module.

[0012] According to one aspect of the invention, the vertical limiting member has a connecting end and a limiting end, the connecting end being connected to the second slider via a pivot shaft and a compression spring, such that the vertical limiting member can pivot about the pivot shaft relative to the second slider.

[0013] According to one aspect of the present invention, the lateral positioning mechanism may be configured as a cam push block mechanism, a second mounting base; a fixing block fixed to the second mounting base; a lateral push block located on one side of the fixing block to abut against the camera module; a cam member disposed on the fixing block away from the lateral push block, the cam member being connected to the lateral push block via a transmission mechanism configured to convert the rotational motion of the cam into a translational motion of the lateral push block in the lateral direction, the cam member being rotatable between a first position and a second position, and when the cam member rotates to the second position, the lateral push block abuts against one side of the camera module.

[0014] According to one aspect of the invention, the transmission mechanism includes: two guide rods; a connecting rod, one end of which is fixedly connected to the transverse push block, and the other end of which extends movably through the fixed block and is connected to the cam member; and a pivot about which the cam member rotates; wherein a first end of the guide rod extends movably into the fixed block, a second end of which is fixedly connected to the transverse push block, and a spring is mounted on the guide rod, the spring being located between the fixed block and the transverse push block.

[0015] According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the second mounting base can be fixedly connected to the second slider, thereby enabling the cam pusher mechanism to move along the second slide rail with the second slider.

[0016] According to one aspect of the present invention, the camera mounting fixture may further include a first pressure plate and a second pressure plate for fixing the base plate of the product. The first pressure plate is mounted on a first lateral side of the worktable near the vertical positioning mechanism via a first pressure plate slide rail mechanism, and the second pressure plate is mounted on a second lateral side of the worktable via a second pressure plate slide rail mechanism, the second lateral side being opposite to the first lateral side.

[0017] The aforementioned camera mounting fixture ensures the proper mounting position of the product, such as the metal base plate of a shark fin antenna, and the camera module, and effectively compensates for mounting position offsets caused by tolerances in the camera module itself.

[0030] The camera mounting fixture according to the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth to enable those skilled in the art to gain a more complete understanding of the invention. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that implementations of the invention may not include some of these specific details. Furthermore, it should be understood that the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described. Rather, the invention can be conceived to be practiced with any combination of the following features and elements, regardless of whether they relate to different embodiments.

[0031] Figure 1 and Figure 2 An embodiment of a camera mounting fixture 1 according to the present invention is shown. As can be seen from the figure, the camera mounting fixture 1 includes a base 4, a worktable 40 disposed at the top of the base, the worktable having a first longitudinal end 4a and a second longitudinal end 4b along its longitudinal direction, and defining a receiving portion 41 extending from the first longitudinal end toward the second longitudinal end for receiving a metal base plate 3 of a product such as a shark fin antenna (see Figure 1). Figure 2The camera positioning device 100 includes a longitudinal positioning mechanism 5, a vertical positioning mechanism 6, and a transverse positioning mechanism 7. Figure 1 and 2 In the illustrated embodiment, the longitudinal positioning mechanism 5 may be arranged, for example, at the first longitudinal end on the first transverse side 40a of the worktable, while the vertical positioning mechanism 6 and the transverse positioning mechanism 7 may be arranged, for example, at the first longitudinal end on the second transverse side 40b of the worktable. See also Figure 2 and Figure 10 The camera module 2 is generally installed at one end of the metal base plate 3. When placed in the receiving part 41, the end of the metal base plate 3 is close to the camera positioning device 100.

[0032] In this application, "lateral direction," "vertical direction," and "height direction" are defined according to the positioning direction of the camera module in the camera mounting fixture. The lateral direction refers to the left-right direction of the camera module (x-direction in a three-dimensional coordinate system), the vertical direction refers to the front-back direction of the camera module (y-direction in a three-dimensional coordinate system), and the height direction refers to the up-down direction of the camera module (z-direction in a three-dimensional coordinate system). By using the aforementioned camera mounting fixture, the camera module is fixed in the x, y, and z three-dimensional directions during installation, which improves assembly accuracy and avoids installation deviations.

[0033] In the above embodiments, the "vertical" and "horizontal" orientations of the camera module are consistent with the "vertical" and "horizontal" orientations of the worktable (base).

[0034] In this invention, the camera positioning device 100, namely the longitudinal positioning mechanism 5, the vertical positioning mechanism 6, and the lateral positioning mechanism 7, is configured to move between an idle position and a fixed position. In the idle position, the longitudinal positioning mechanism 5, the vertical positioning mechanism 6, and the lateral positioning mechanism 7 are away from the camera module 2 placed on the base plate 3. In the fixed position, the longitudinal positioning mechanism 5 prevents the camera module 2 from moving along the longitudinal direction y on the base plate 3, the vertical positioning mechanism 6 prevents the camera module 2 from moving along the vertical direction z, and the lateral positioning mechanism 7 prevents the camera module 2 from moving along the lateral direction x.

[0035] See Figure 3An embodiment of the longitudinal positioning mechanism 5 according to the present invention is shown. The longitudinal positioning mechanism 5 includes a first mounting base 50 translatable in the lateral direction x, a first limiting member 51 for abutting the front end 21 of the camera module 2, and a second limiting member 52 for abutting the rear end 22 of the camera module 2. The first limiting member 51 is fixedly mounted to the first mounting base 50, and the second limiting member 52 is pivotally connected to the first limiting member 51. Preferably, the longitudinal positioning mechanism may further include a first slide rail mechanism 53 arranged in the lateral direction x. The first slide rail mechanism includes a first slide rail 531, a slide rail carrier plate 532, a first stop 54 and a second stop 55 arranged at both ends of the slide rail carrier plate 532, and a first slider 56 movable between the first stop and the second stop along the first slide rail mechanism. The first mounting base 50 is fixedly connected to the first slider, such that the first slider can drive the first mounting base 50 to move in the lateral direction x, thereby driving the first limiting member 51 and the second limiting member 52 to translate in the lateral direction x. The first and second stops limit the travel of the first slider 56, thereby limiting the travel of the first limiting member 51 and the second limiting member 52. Specifically, when the first slider 56 abuts against the second stop 55, the first limiting member 51 abuts against the front end 21 of the camera module 2 (see...). Figure 5 and Figure 6 The second limiting member 52 is located near the rear end 22 of the camera module 2. To facilitate the movement of the first slider 56, a handle 561 is also provided on the first slider.

[0036] In this embodiment, the second limiting member 52 may be generally U-shaped, having a first arm portion 521 and a second arm portion 522, and a main body portion 523 connecting the two, wherein the first arm portion 521 is pivotally connected to the first limiting member 51. It should be understood that other suitable shapes of second limiting members are also covered within the scope of this application.

[0037] Advantageously, see Figure 7 The first mounting base 50 may be configured to extend below the second limiting member 52 to limit the pivot angle of the second limiting member 52. The second limiting member 52 is configured in the idle position with its main body 523 vertically upward, i.e., perpendicular to the vertical position of the mounting base 50 (not shown in the figure), from... Figure 7In this configuration, rotating the main body 523 counterclockwise by 90° brings it to a horizontal position parallel to the mounting base. At this horizontal position, the second arm 522 abuts against the rear end 22 of the camera module 2. Furthermore, due to the obstruction of the mounting base 50 on the first arm 521 and even the main body 523, the main body 523 cannot continue to pivot counterclockwise downwards from this second position. Preferably, the length of the second arm 522 can be less than the length of the first arm 521. Alternatively, the length of the second arm 522 can be equal to the length of the first arm 521. To facilitate the pivoting of the second limiting member, a handle 525 is also provided on the first arm 521.

[0038] In another embodiment, a mounting hole 524 may be provided in the first arm portion 521, extending longitudinally along the first arm portion. The first arm portion is connected to the first limiting member 51 via a pivot shaft and a compression spring (not shown) disposed in the mounting hole. With this connection configuration, when the second limiting member 52 is pivoted, the second limiting member 52 can be stretched outward relative to the first limiting member in the horizontal direction, and then rotated counterclockwise to reach the horizontal position. After the second limiting member is released, the horizontal tension generated by the compression spring on the second limiting member 52 keeps the second arm portion 522 abutting against the rear end 22 of the camera module 2.

[0039] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the longitudinal positioning mechanism 5 further includes a longitudinal fine-tuning mechanism 57. This mechanism includes an adjusting screw 571 connected to the slide rail carrier 532 and an adjusting screw limiting member 572 fixed to the worktable. By turning the adjusting screw 571, the slide rail carrier is moved along the longitudinal direction y, thereby causing the first slider 56 and the first limiting member 51 fixedly connected to the first slider to move along the longitudinal direction y, thus fine-tuning the position of the camera module 2 on the base plate in the longitudinal direction y. This fine-tuning effectively compensates for installation position offsets caused by tolerances in the camera module body.

[0040] See Figure 4 The figure shows a schematic diagram of the vertical positioning mechanism 6 and the horizontal positioning mechanism 7 according to the present invention configured with the camera module 2. As can be seen from the figure, the vertical positioning mechanism 6 and the horizontal positioning mechanism 7 are arranged side by side on one side of the horizontal direction of the camera module 2.

[0041] In one embodiment, the vertical positioning mechanism 6 includes a second slide rail mechanism 60 fixed to the worktable 40. The second slide rail mechanism includes a second slide rail 61 arranged in a transverse direction, a third stop 62 disposed at the end of the slide rail away from the camera module 2, and a second slider 63 disposed on and slidable along the second slide rail. The vertical positioning mechanism also includes a vertical limiting member 64 disposed on the second slider 63, configured to move vertically (z) relative to the second slider 63 to a fixed position abutting against the upper side of the camera module 2. Preferably, the vertical limiting member 64 is mounted to be pivotable relative to the second slider in a horizontal plane. In one embodiment, the vertical limiting member 64 is configured to have a connecting end 641 and a limiting end 642, the connecting end 641 being connected to the second slider 63 via a pivot shaft and a compression spring (not shown), such that the vertical limiting member can pivot relative to the slider about the pivot shaft.

[0042] In one embodiment, see again Figure 4 The lateral positioning mechanism 7 is configured as a cam pusher mechanism, which includes, for example, a second mounting base 70 connected to the second slider 63, a fixing block 72 fixed to the second mounting base 70, a lateral pusher 71 movably connected to the fixing block 72, and a cam member 74 located on the side of the fixing block 72 away from the lateral pusher for driving the lateral pusher 71 to translate. The cam member 74 is connected to the lateral pusher 71 via a transmission mechanism. The transmission mechanism is configured to convert the rotational motion of the cam member into the translational motion of the lateral pusher 71 in the lateral direction. The cam member 74 is configured to rotate between a first position and a second position. When the cam member rotates to the second position, the lateral pusher abuts against the lateral side of the camera module 2 to limit the camera module in the lateral direction x.

[0043] In one embodiment, see Figure 9 The transmission mechanism includes two guide rods 73, a connecting rod 76, and a rotating shaft 77. One end of the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the transverse push block 71, and the other end extends movably through the fixed block 72 and is connected to the cam member. The cam member 74 is configured to pivot about the rotating shaft 77. The other end of the connecting rod can be directly connected to the cam member body or connected to the rotating shaft 77. The first end of each guide rod 73 extends movably into the fixed block 72, for example, by clearance fitting into a hole (not shown) extending at least a portion of the length of the fixed block, and the second end is fixedly connected to the transverse push block 71. Preferably, a spring 75 is mounted on the guide rod 73, located between the fixed block 72 and the transverse push block 71, which allows for better control of the thrust of the transverse push block. In the above-described cam push block mechanism, rotating the cam member clockwise or counterclockwise about the rotating shaft 77 causes the connecting rod 76 to translate, thereby causing the transverse push block 71 to translate.

[0044] See you again Figure 1 The camera mounting fixture 1 according to the present invention further includes a first pressure plate 8 and a second pressure plate 9 for fixing a metal base plate 3 to the product. The first pressure plate is mounted on a first lateral side of the worktable near the vertical positioning mechanism 6 via a first pressure plate slide rail mechanism 11, and the second pressure plate is mounted on a second lateral side of the worktable via a second pressure plate slide rail mechanism 12, the second lateral side being opposite to the first lateral side. In this application, the specific configuration of the first pressure plate slide rail mechanism 11 and the second pressure plate slide rail mechanism 12 is basically the same as the structure and working principle described above, and will not be repeated here.

[0045] Figure 8 A schematic diagram of the camera module 2 is shown. Figure 10 This is a schematic diagram of the metal base plate of the shark fin antenna product. As can be seen from the diagram, two parallel bosses 20 are located at the bottom of the camera module 2. These bosses engage with the sliding groove structure 30 on the metal base plate 3, allowing for position adjustment. (See also...) Figure 11 The camera module 2 can be pre-assembled with the metal base plate 3 of the product using positioning pins. The installation process of the camera module 2 in the camera mounting fixture 1 is briefly described below:

[0046] The pre-assembled camera module - metal base plate is placed in the receiving part 41 of the camera mounting fixture 1;

[0047] Move the first limiting member 51 of the longitudinal positioning mechanism 5 to a position that abuts the front end of the camera module 2;

[0048] Rotate the second limiting member 52 to a horizontal position so that the second arm of the second limiting member abuts against the rear end of the camera module, thereby fixing the position of the camera module 2 in the longitudinal direction. If necessary, the first limiting member can be moved by rotating the adjusting screw to make the longitudinal position of the camera module 2 meet the assembly requirements.

[0049] The lateral positioning mechanism 7 is moved closer to the lateral side of the camera module 2, and the cam in the cam pusher mechanism is rotated, causing the lateral pusher 71 to abut against the lateral side of the camera module 2. Under the elastic tension of the spring, the position of the camera module 2 in the lateral direction is fixed; and

[0050] Pull the vertical limiting member 64 upwards and pivot it to a position above the camera module 2. Then release the vertical limiting member. Under the tension of the compression spring, the vertical limiting member remains pressed against the upper side of the camera module, thereby fixing the position of the camera module 2 in the vertical direction.

[0051] After completing the three-dimensional positioning of the camera module 2 on the metal base plate 3, the camera module is fixed to the metal base plate using fasteners.

[0052] By using the camera mounting fixture 1 described above according to the present invention, the mounting positions of the product's metal base plate and the camera can be ensured. Considering that the position of the product's camera module and the metal base plate can be adjusted through the cooperation of the sliding groove and the boss, the longitudinal positioning mechanism and the longitudinal fine-tuning mechanism are linked in the design of the mounting fixture. Furthermore, by providing the longitudinal fine-tuning mechanism, the installation position offset caused by the tolerance of the camera module body can be effectively compensated.

[0053] While the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not limited thereto. Any combinations, changes, and modifications made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention should be included within the scope of protection of the invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the invention should be determined by the scope defined in the claims.
