Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of protective frame technology, and in particular to a protective frame for transporting vehicle-mounted camera lenses. Background Technology
[0002] Vehicle-mounted cameras are widely used in automobiles, playing a crucial role in traffic safety. The image quality of a vehicle-mounted camera is primarily determined by its optical lens, a major factor affecting the amount of light entering the camera. The lens is composed of multiple layers of lenses, which are transparent materials with one or more curved surfaces, made of optical materials such as glass or resin. These lenses are small and easily damaged; even a single broken lens can affect the entire lens's imaging function. Currently, the manufacturing and transportation methods for vehicle-mounted camera lenses have certain shortcomings. Lenses are still transported using ordinary vehicle transport, which, due to uneven road surfaces and vehicle speed, can easily cause the lenses to shake and impact within the vehicle, resulting in scratches on the lens surface and affecting its usability.
[0003] To address the problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art, we have designed a protective frame for transporting vehicle-mounted camera lenses that can stabilize the position of the lenses and prevent them from being impacted. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To overcome the drawback that lenses are prone to shaking and impacts inside the vehicle during transportation due to road unevenness and vehicle speed, resulting in scratches on the lens surface and affecting its use, the technical problem to be solved is to provide a protective frame for transporting vehicle-mounted camera lenses that can stabilize the lens position and prevent lens impacts.
[0005] The technical solution is as follows: A protective frame for transporting vehicle-mounted camera lenses includes a support bracket, an inner frame, long plates, pins, a telescopic rod, a first spring, casters, a clamping and shock-absorbing mechanism, and a spring shock-absorbing mechanism. The four lower corners of the support bracket are each connected to casters for pushing the protective frame onto the vehicle. The support bracket has evenly spaced openings on both the left and right sides, each containing an inner frame. Long plates are rotatably connected to the left and right sides of the front of the support bracket, and these long plates contact the front of the inner frame, serving as a retaining element. The inner frame moves forward, and pins are connected to the left and right sides of the front of the support bracket. The pins are located inside the long plate, and telescopic rods are slidably connected inside the pins. The telescopic rods are slidably connected to the long plate, and a first spring is wound around the telescopic rod. The two sides of the first spring are connected to the lower part of the telescopic rod and the upper part of the pin, respectively. The left and right sides inside the inner frame are connected to clamping and shock-absorbing mechanisms to prevent the transport lens box from hitting the inner wall of the inner frame. The left and right sides outside the inner frame are connected to spring shock-absorbing mechanisms to prevent the left and right sides of the inner frame from hitting the inner wall of the support bracket.
[0006] Preferably, the clamping and shock-absorbing mechanism includes a pressure plate, a second spring, and a support rod. Support rods are connected to both the left and right sides inside the inner frame. The second spring is connected to the inside of each support rod. The pressure plate for clamping the transport lens box is slidably connected to the inside of each support rod. The two sides of the second spring are connected to the support rod and the pressure plate, respectively.
[0007] Preferably, the spring damping mechanism includes a third spring and a fixing block. Two fixing blocks are connected to the left and right sides of the outer side of the inner frame, and a third spring is connected between the outer side of the fixing block and the inner side of the support bracket.
[0008] Preferably, the device also includes a protective reset mechanism to prevent the inner frame from impacting the support bracket when the vehicle shakes. The protective reset mechanism includes a fixed plate, a torsion spring, and a protective plate. Fixed plates are connected to both the left and right sides of the placement opening of the support bracket. Protective plates are rotatably connected to the inner side of the fixed plates. Torsion springs are connected between the protective plates and the fixed plates, and the torsion springs are wound around the protective plates.
[0009] Preferably, the upper and lower support rods of the protective plate are at a 90-degree angle to each other, which is used to hold the inner frame in place.
[0010] Preferably, the system also includes a pressure protection mechanism to prevent the transport lens case from impacting the upper part of the inner frame when the vehicle shakes. The pressure protection mechanism includes a connecting rod, a linking rod, a telescopic rod, and a fourth spring. The upper part of the fixed block is rotatably connected to the connecting rod. The left and right sides of the rear part of the support bracket are connected to the linking rod. The linking rod is rotatably connected to the linking rod. The telescopic rod is rotatably connected to the upper part of the inner frame. The telescopic rod is slidably connected to the upper part of the inner frame. The telescopic rod is connected to the fourth spring inside, which is used to cushion the transport lens case when the support bracket shakes.
[0011] Preferably, the device also includes a stabilizing mechanism to reduce the swaying amplitude of the protective frame. The stabilizing mechanism includes a storage box, steel wire ropes, high-density metal balls, and viscous liquid. The storage box is connected to the middle of the support frame. The storage box is filled with viscous liquid. Four steel wire ropes are connected to the upper side of the support frame. The high-density metal balls are connected to the lower part of the four steel wire ropes and are immersed in the viscous liquid.
[0012] Preferably, it also includes an external shock absorption mechanism to prevent the protective frame from colliding with the carriage. The external shock absorption mechanism includes a fifth spring and a baffle. The fifth spring is connected to both the left and right sides of the support bracket, and the outer side of the fifth spring on the same side is connected to the baffle.
[0013] The beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. The present invention clamps the transport lens box by the pressure plates on the left and right sides of the inner frame and clamps the inner frame by the fixing blocks on the left and right sides of the outer side of the inner frame, thereby preventing the box from hitting the inner frame and preventing the inner frame from hitting the support bracket. This can stabilize the position of the box and prevent collisions.
[0014] 2. The protective plate is rebounded by a torsion spring, which can prevent the inner frame from shaking excessively;
[0015] 3. The telescopic rods extend and retract to cushion the inner frame, preventing the box from impacting the upper part of the inner frame;
[0016] 4. The viscous liquid hinders the movement of high-density metal balls in the opposite direction, thus improving the stability of the protective frame;
[0017] 5. The fifth springs on both sides of the support bracket act as a buffer to prevent the support bracket from colliding violently with the carriage. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0030] Example 1
[0031] A protective frame for transporting vehicle-mounted camera lenses, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the system includes a support bracket 1, an inner frame 2, long plates 3, pins 4, a telescopic rod 41, a first spring 42, casters 5, a clamping and shock-absorbing mechanism 6, and a spring shock-absorbing mechanism 7. The four lower corners of the support bracket 1 are each connected to casters 5 for pushing the protective frame used to transport the vehicle camera lens onto the vehicle. The support bracket 1 has three evenly spaced openings on both its left and right sides, each containing the inner frame 2. Three long plates 3 are rotatably connected to the front left and right sides of the support bracket 1, and these long plates 3 contact the front of the inner frame 2, preventing the inner frame 2 from moving forward. 1. Three pins 4 are connected to the left and right sides of the front part. The pins 4 are located inside the long plate 3. The pins 4 are slidably connected to the telescopic rods 41. The telescopic rods 41 are slidably connected to the long plate 3. A first spring 42 is wound on the telescopic rods 41. The two sides of the first spring 42 are respectively connected to the lower part of the telescopic rods 41 and the upper part of the pins 4. The left and right sides of the outer side of the inner frame 2 are connected to the spring shock absorption mechanism 7 to prevent the left and right sides of the inner frame 2 from hitting the inner wall of the support bracket 1. The left and right sides of the inner side of the inner frame 2 are connected to the clamping shock absorption mechanism 6 to clamp the transport lens box to prevent the transport lens box from hitting the inner wall of the inner frame 2.
[0032] like Figure 5As shown, the clamping and shock-absorbing mechanism 6 includes a pressure plate 61, a second spring 62, and a support rod 63. The support rods 63 are connected to both the left and right sides inside the inner frame 2. The second springs 62 are connected to the inside of the support rods 63. The pressure plate 61 is slidably connected to the inside of the support rods 63. The pressure plate 61 is used to clamp the transport lens box. The two sides of the second spring 62 are connected to the support rods 63 and the pressure plate 61 respectively.
[0033] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the spring damping mechanism 7 includes a third spring 71 and a fixing block 72. Two fixing blocks 72 are connected to the left and right sides of the inner frame 2. The fixing blocks 72 are used to fix the position of the inner frame 2. The third spring 71 is connected between the outer side of the fixing block 72 and the inner side of the support bracket 1.
[0034] When transporting the vehicle-mounted camera lens, the telescopic rod 41 is pulled out of the pin 4, compressing the first spring 42. The long plate 3 is opened outwards, and the lens transport box is placed between the pressure plates 61 on the left and right sides. The second spring 62 is compressed, pressing the pressure plates 61 against the box to prevent it from impacting the inner wall of the inner frame 2 during transport. After placing the box, the long plate 3 is closed inwards, and the telescopic rod 41 is inserted into the pin 4. The first spring 42 returns to its original position, and the protective frame is pushed into the vehicle. The casters 5 are locked to prevent the support bracket 1 from moving left and right. When the vehicle shakes, the elastic force of the third spring 71 causes the fixing block 72 and the inner frame 2 to move left and right within the support bracket 1, preventing the inner frame 2 from impacting the support bracket 1. After reaching the destination, the telescopic rod 41 is pulled out of the pin 4, the long plate 3 is opened outwards, the box is taken out, and then the telescopic rod 41 is inserted back into the pin 4.
[0035] Example 2
[0036] Based on Example 1, such as Figure 7 As shown, it also includes a protective reset mechanism 8 to prevent the inner frame 2 from hitting the support bracket 1 when the vehicle shakes. The protective reset mechanism 8 includes a fixed plate 81, a torsion spring 82 and a protective plate 83. The left and right sides of the placement opening of the support bracket 1 are connected to the fixed plate 81, and the inner side of the fixed plate 81 is rotatably connected to the protective plate 83. The protective plate 83 is used to hold the inner frame 2 against the fixed plate 81. The torsion spring 82 is connected between the protective plate 83 and the fixed plate 81, and the torsion spring 82 is wound around the protective plate 83.
[0037] When the vehicle shakes and causes the inner frame 2 to move left and right inside the support bracket 1, the third spring 71 deforms. When the inner frame 2 moves too much, it will come into contact with the protective plate 83, causing the protective plate 83 to rotate and thus hold the inner frame 2 in place to prevent the inner frame 2 from shaking excessively. At the same time, the torsion spring 82 deforms. When the vehicle stops shaking, the third spring 71 returns to its original position, and the torsion spring 82 drives the protective plate 83 to return to its original position.
[0038] like Figure 8 As shown, it also includes a pressure protection mechanism 9 to prevent the transport lens box from impacting the upper part of the inner frame 2 when the vehicle shakes. The pressure protection mechanism 9 includes a connecting rod 91, a connecting rod 92, a telescopic rod 93 and a fourth spring 94. The upper part of the fixing block 72 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 91. The left and right sides of the rear part of the placement opening of the support bracket 1 are connected to the connecting rod 92. The connecting rod 92 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 91. The upper part of the connecting rod 91 is rotatably connected to the telescopic rod 93. The telescopic rod 93 is internally connected to the fourth spring 94. The telescopic rod 93 is slidably connected to the upper part of the inner frame 2, which is used to buffer the transport lens box when the support bracket 1 shakes.
[0039] When the vehicle encounters an uneven road surface, the lower part of the telescopic rod 93 abuts against the transport lens box. At the same time, the vehicle sways left and right, causing the fixing block 72 to sway left and right. The swaying of the fixing block 72 causes the connecting rod 91 to rotate on the connecting rod 92, causing the telescopic rod 93 to press down. The fourth spring 94 is compressed, which acts as a buffer for the inner frame 2, thereby preventing the box from hitting the upper part of the inner frame 2. When the vehicle stops swaying, the fixing block 72 returns to its original position, causing the connecting rod 91 to return to its original position. The fourth spring 94 returns to its original position, causing the telescopic rod 93 to return to its original position.
[0040] like Figure 9 As shown, it also includes a stabilizing mechanism 10 to reduce the swaying amplitude of the protective frame. The stabilizing mechanism 10 includes a storage box 101, steel wire ropes 102, high-density metal balls 103, and viscous liquid 104. Four steel wire ropes 102 are connected to the upper side of the inside of the support bracket 1, and high-density metal balls 103 are connected to the lower part of the four steel wire ropes 102. The storage box 101 is connected to the middle of the support bracket 1. The storage box 101 is filled with viscous liquid 104, and the high-density metal balls 103 are immersed in the viscous liquid 104.
[0041] When the vehicle shakes and the support bracket 1 moves left and right, it causes the storage box 101 to move left and right. The viscous liquid 104 hinders the high-density metal ball 103 from moving in the opposite direction due to inertia, thus offsetting part of the shaking effect until the support bracket 1 and the inner frame 2 return to stability. This reduces the shaking time and ensures the stability of the protective frame.
[0042] like Figure 10 As shown, it also includes an external shock absorption mechanism 11 to prevent the protective frame from colliding with the carriage. The external shock absorption mechanism 11 includes a fifth spring 111 and a baffle 112. Three fifth springs 111 are connected to the left and right sides of the support bracket 1. The outer sides of the three fifth springs 111 on the same side are connected to the baffle 112. The fifth springs 111 play a buffering role on the support bracket 1.
[0043] When the vehicle sways too much from side to side, the support bracket 1 moves left and right, causing the fifth spring 111 and the baffle 112 to move left and right, so that the baffle 112 comes into contact with the carriage. At this time, the fifth spring 111 buffers the impact force of the support bracket 1, thus preventing the support bracket 1 from colliding violently with the carriage.
[0044] Although this disclosure has been described with respect to only a limited number of embodiments, those skilled in the art who benefit from this disclosure will understand that various other embodiments can be devised without departing from the scope of the invention. Therefore, the scope of the invention should be limited only by the appended claims.
