Detailed Implementation

[0019] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0020] In related technologies, due to the characteristics of radar and the vehicle body structure, radars in traditional vehicles are mostly fixed on the front crossbeam on the top of the vehicle. The radar position is relatively fixed and cannot be moved or rotated, which limits the radar's detection angle. When foreign objects appear within the radar's detection range, the radar cannot actively avoid them, which seriously affects the accuracy of radar detection and reduces the safety and reliability of the vehicle while driving.

[0021] The following is for reference. Figures 1-8 A radar assembly for a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0022] The radar assembly 1 for a vehicle according to the present invention includes: a drive shaft 11, a swing shaft 12, a slide rail 14, a radar bracket 13, the slide rail 14, and a radar 131. The swing shaft 12 is connected to the drive shaft 11 and is inclined relative to the drive shaft 11, and the center of the swing shaft 12 coincides with the axis of the drive shaft 11. The slide rail 14 is centered on the center of the swing shaft 12 and is located in a first plane with the drive shaft 11. The radar bracket 13 is connected to the swing shaft 12 and moves along the slide rail 14. The radar 131 is movably mounted on the radar bracket 13 in a direction perpendicular to the first plane.

[0023] In some specific embodiments, the radar assembly 1 comprises a drive shaft 11, a swing shaft 12, a slide rail 14, a radar bracket 13, and a radar. One end of the drive shaft 11 is connected to a drive motor, and the other end of the drive shaft 11 is connected to the swing shaft 12. The swing shaft 12 is inclined relative to the axis of the drive shaft 11, and the center of the swing shaft 12 is located on the axis of the drive shaft 11. The slide rail 14 is located in a first plane and is circular with the center of the swing shaft 12 as its axis. The radar bracket 13 is connected to both the swing shaft 12 and the slide rail 14. The radar is movably mounted on the radar bracket 13. The motor drives the drive shaft 11 to rotate, and the drive shaft 11 drives the swing shaft 12 to rotate around its center. The rotation of the swing shaft 12 causes the radar bracket 13 to move along the slide rail 14 within the first plane. This changes the radar's position within the first plane, altering its detection angle and location relative to the external environment. This allows radar 131 to avoid obstacles within its detection range, improving its accuracy and reliability. Furthermore, the radar 131, mounted on the radar bracket 13, can move perpendicular to the first plane, enabling it to perceive the surrounding environment from all directions. The radar's perception range is no longer limited to one direction; it can acquire information such as the distance, speed, and direction of surrounding objects, thus increasing the vehicle's perception range. Radar 131 can instantly detect other abnormal vehicles, pedestrians, and obstacles, providing drivers with more reaction time, reducing accidents, and enhancing vehicle safety.

[0024] According to the present invention, the radar assembly 1 is connected to the swing shaft 12 via a drive shaft 11. The swing shaft 12 is inclined relative to the axial direction of the drive shaft 11, and the center of the swing shaft 12 is located on the axis of the drive shaft 11. The slide rail 14 is located in a first plane and is circular with the center of the swing shaft 12 as the center. The radar bracket 13 is connected to the swing shaft 12 and the slide rail 14 respectively. The radar is movably mounted on the radar bracket 13. The drive shaft 11 drives the swing shaft 12 to rotate around the center of the swing shaft 12. The rotation of the swing shaft 12 causes the radar bracket 13 to move along the slide rail 14 in the first plane, thereby changing the position of the radar in the first plane, changing the radar's detection angle and detection position of the external environment, so that the radar can avoid obstacles within the detection range and improve the accuracy and reliability of radar detection.

[0025] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the radar assembly 1 further includes: a sleeve 121 and a rotating arm 16, the sleeve 121 being sleeved on the swing shaft 12; one end of the rotating arm 16 being connected to the sleeve 121, and the other end of the rotating arm 16 being rotatably connected to the radar bracket 13.

[0026] In some specific embodiments, the radar assembly 1 is further provided with a sleeve 121 and a rotating arm 16. The sleeve 121 may be constructed as a cylinder and sleeved on at least part of the outer periphery of the swing shaft 12. The rotating arm 16 is also provided on the outer surface of the sleeve 121. The rotating arm 16 extends toward the slide rail 14, and a radar bracket 13 is provided on the end of the rotating arm 16 away from the sleeve 121, thereby realizing the connection between the radar bracket 13 and the swing shaft 12. The rotating arm 16 is equivalent to a force transmission mechanism, and the power generated by the rotation of the swing shaft 12 is transmitted to the rotating arm 16 by the sleeve 121. This allows the rotating arm 16 to move the radar bracket 13 along the slide rail 14 within the first plane, thereby changing the radar's position within the first plane and altering its detection angle and location relative to the external environment. This enables the radar to avoid obstacles within its detection range, improving the accuracy and reliability of radar detection. Simultaneously, since the swing shaft 12 bears high-speed rotation and a large amount of power output, fitting a sleeve 121 around its outer circumference reduces direct contact between the swing shaft 12 and other parts, minimizing wear and extending its service life. During use, the swing shaft 12 may undergo dimensional changes due to wear or other reasons. To ensure a good fit between the swing shaft 12 and other parts, the sleeve 121 can be added to adjust its dimensions, reduce clearance, and improve the precision of the fit between the swing shaft 12 and other components.

[0027] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the radar assembly 1 further includes: a fixed guide rail 15, which is disposed at at least one end of the slide rail 14, and a drive shaft 11 is rotatably disposed on the fixed guide rail 15.

[0028] In some specific embodiments, the radar assembly 1 is also provided with a fixed track. One end of the fixed track can be connected to at least one end of the slide rail 14, and the other end of the fixed track forms a pivot hole. The drive shaft 11 is rotatably disposed in the pivot hole, thereby realizing the connection between the slide rail 14 and the drive shaft 11. The fixed guide rail 15 can also support the slide rail 14, so that when the drive shaft 11 drives the swing shaft 12 to move the radar 131 along the slide rail 14, it is more stable and reliable. Furthermore, the slide rail 14 and the fixed guide rail 15 can be constructed as an integral structure. On the one hand, this makes the structure of the slide rail 14 and the fixed guide rail 15 more compact, eliminating the need for a connecting structure to connect the slide rail 14 and the fixed guide rail, reducing the number of parts on the slide rail 14 and the fixed guide rail, improving the connection accuracy between the slide rail 14 and the fixed guide rail 15, and eliminating gaps at the connection point between the slide rail 14 and the fixed guide rail 15, thus improving the structural strength of the connection point. On the other hand, the slide rail 14 and the fixed guide rail 15 can be manufactured using the same mold, reducing the number of parts and manufacturing steps in the radar assembly 1, improving the production efficiency of the radar assembly 1, and reducing production costs.

[0029] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the fixed guide rail 15 is configured as a first guide rail 151 and a second guide rail 152 disposed at both ends of the slide rail 14 and parallel to each other in a first plane; the drive shaft 11 is configured as two coaxially disposed shafts, namely a first shaft 111 and a second shaft 112, the first shaft 111 being rotatably disposed on the first guide rail 151 and the second shaft 112 being rotatably disposed on the second guide rail 152, and the first shaft 111 and the second shaft 112 being respectively connected to the swing shaft 12.

[0030] In some specific embodiments, the fixed guide rails 15 can be constructed as two, namely a first guide rail 151 and a second guide rail 152. The first guide rail 151 and the second guide rail 152 are respectively disposed at both ends of the slide rail 14, and are arranged parallel to each other in a first plane. The first guide rail 151 and the second guide rail 152 support the slide rail 14 from both ends, improving the stability and reliability of the connection between the slide rail 14 and the fixed rail. The first guide rail 151 and the second guide rail 152 have a first pivot hole and a second pivot hole respectively formed at the ends away from the slide rail 14. The drive shaft 11 includes a first shaft 111 and a second shaft 112. The first shaft 111 is rotatably disposed in the first pivot hole. The second pivot hole allows the two shafts 112 to rotatably rotate. The first shaft 111 and the second shaft 112 are respectively connected to the swing shaft 12 at their ends facing each other. The axes of the first shaft 111 and the second shaft 112 coincide. The center of the swing shaft 12 is set on the axis of the first shaft 111 and the second shaft 112, so that the first shaft 111 and the second shaft 112 jointly drive the swing shaft 12 to rotate along the center of the swing shaft 12. The rotation of the swing shaft 12 causes the radar bracket 13 to move along the slide rail 14 in the first plane, thereby changing the position of the radar 131 in the first plane, changing the detection angle and detection position of the radar 131 to the external environment, so that the radar 131 can avoid obstacles within the detection range and improve the accuracy and reliability of the radar 131 detection.

[0031] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a first plate 122 and a second plate 123 parallel to each other are formed at the ends of the first shaft 111 and the second shaft 112 facing each other, respectively; wherein one end of the first plate 122 is connected to the first shaft 111, and the other end of the first plate 122 is inclined toward the second shaft 112 in a direction radially away from the first shaft 111, and the other end of the first plate 122 is connected to one end of the swing shaft 12; one end of the second plate 123 is connected to the second shaft 112, and the other end of the second plate 123 is inclined toward the first shaft 111 in a direction radially away from the second shaft 112, and the other end of the second plate 123 is connected to the other end of the swing shaft 12.

[0032] In some specific embodiments, a first plate 122 and a second plate 123 are respectively provided on the ends of the first shaft 111 and the second shaft 112 facing each other. The first plate 122 and the second plate 123 are arranged parallel to each other. A first hole and a second hole are formed at both ends of the first plate 122. A third hole and a fourth hole are respectively formed at both ends of the second plate 123, one facing the first hole and the other facing the second hole. The first shaft 111 is disposed in the second hole, and the second shaft 112 is disposed in the third hole. The first plate 122 is positioned away from the first shaft 111. The first plate 123 extends upward and is inclined toward the second axis 112. The second plate 123 extends away from the first axis 111 and is inclined toward the first axis 111. One end of the swing shaft 12 is connected to the first hole, and the other end of the swing shaft 12 is connected to the fourth hole, so that the swing shaft 12 is inclined to the axis of the drive shaft 11 and the center of the swing shaft 12 is located on the axis of the drive shaft 11, so that the swing shaft 12 can guide the radar bracket 13 to move on a specific trajectory, reducing unnecessary movement or swing of the radar bracket 13 in other directions.

[0033] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the rotating arm 16 includes: a first connecting rod 161, a second connecting rod 162, and a rotating engagement part 163. One end of the first connecting rod 161 is connected to one end of the sleeve 121, and the other end of the first connecting rod 161 extends toward the radar bracket 13. One end of the second connecting rod 162 is connected to the other end of the sleeve 121, and the other end of the second connecting rod 162 is connected to the other end of the first connecting rod 161. The rotating engagement part 163 is disposed at the other end of the first connecting rod 161 and the other end of the second connecting rod 162, and the rotating engagement part 163 is rotatably connected to the radar bracket 13.

[0034] In some specific embodiments, the rotating arm 16 is composed of a first connecting rod 161, a second connecting rod 162, and a rotating engagement part 163. Both ends of the sleeve 121 are connected to one end of the first connecting rod and one end of the second connecting rod, respectively. The other ends of the first and second connecting rods extend towards the radar bracket 13 and are connected to one end of the rotating engagement part 163. The other end of the rotating engagement part 163 is connected to the radar bracket 13, thus forming a three-way connection between the first connecting rod 161, the second connecting rod 162, the sleeve 121, and the radar bracket 13. The angular frame structure allows the rotating arm 16 to effectively distribute loads and pressures, making the movement of the radar bracket 13 along the slide rail 14 more stable and reliable. In addition, when the swing shaft 12 rotates with the drive shaft 11, the rotating mating part 163 also rotates. Since the rotating mating part 163 and the radar bracket 13 are connected, the radar bracket 13 will also move when the rotating mating part 163 rotates, thereby enabling the radar bracket 13 to move along the slide rail 14, changing the radar's detection angle and detection position, and improving the accuracy of radar detection.

[0035] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the radar assembly 1 further includes a drive gear 133, which is rotatably disposed on the radar bracket 13. The pivot axis of the drive gear 133 is located in a first plane. The drive gear 133 is adapted to drive the radar bracket 13 to rotate about the axis of the drive gear 133, so that the radar 131 rotates with the radar bracket 13.

[0036] In some specific embodiments, the drive gear 133 is sleeved on the radar bracket 13. One side of the drive gear 133 in the thickness direction is connected to the drive motor, and a groove is formed on the other side of the drive gear 13 in the thickness direction. A portion of the radar bracket 13 is disposed in the groove, and at least a portion of the outer surface of the radar bracket 13 can fit with the inner surface of the groove. The pivot axis of the drive gear 133 is located in the first plane. The drive motor drives the drive gear 133 to rotate, and the drive gear 133 drives the radar bracket 13 to rotate around the axis of the drive gear 133 in the first plane. This enables the radar to rotate around the axis of the drive gear 133 in the first plane, allowing the radar to perceive the surrounding environment in all directions. The perception range of the radar 131 is not limited to one direction. The radar 131 can acquire information such as the distance, speed, and direction of surrounding target objects, thereby improving the vehicle's perception range. The radar 131 can instantly detect other abnormal vehicles, pedestrians, and obstacles, providing the driver with more reaction time, reducing the occurrence of accidents, and improving the safety of driving vehicles.

[0037] In addition, a fastening nut 134 is provided on the side of the drive gear 133 near the drive motor. At least part of the outer periphery of the fastening nut 134 abuts against the drive gear 133, thereby restricting the axial movement of the drive gear 133 and making the drive gear 133 more stable and reliable in the process of driving the radar bracket 13 to rotate.

[0038] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a slider 132 is formed on one of the radar bracket 13 and the slide rail 14, and a groove 141 suitable for cooperating with the slider 132 is formed on the other of the radar bracket 13 and the slide rail 14. The cooperation between the slider 132 and the groove 141 can achieve relatively smooth sliding movement. The sliding friction of the slider 132 in the groove 141 is small, which reduces the sliding resistance and allows the radar bracket 13 to move easily within the slide rail 14.

[0039] In some specific embodiments, a slider 132 is formed on the radar bracket 13, and a groove 141 that mates with the slider 132 is formed on the slide rail 14. An accommodating space is formed inside the slider 132, and a rotating mating part 163 is disposed in the accommodating space. A first locking foot and a second locking foot extending toward each other are formed on the inner wall of the accommodating space. The first locking foot and the second locking foot are respectively disposed in the groove 141, realizing the connection between the slider 132 and the groove 141. The first locking foot and the second locking foot are respectively in contact with the bottom wall of the groove 141, thereby increasing the friction between the slider 132 and the groove 141. The movement speed of the slider 132 in the groove 141 is slowed down, so that the moving position of the radar bracket 13 in the slide rail 14 is precisely adjustable.

[0040] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the radar assembly 1 further includes a radar dome 17, which is arc-shaped and disposed on the outer periphery of the slide rail 14.

[0041] In some specific embodiments, an arc-shaped radar dome 17 is also provided on the outer periphery of the slide rail 14. The radar dome 17 can protect the radar component 1 from the effects of harsh weather conditions (such as rain, snow, sandstorms), airflow, etc., so that the radar component 1 is in a stable working environment, reducing the damage of the external environment to the radar 131 and extending the service life of the radar component 1. The radar dome 17 can also play a certain role in anti-interference, blocking electromagnetic wave interference from other vehicles or equipment, ensuring that the radar component 1 accurately receives and processes the returned signals, and improving the working efficiency and performance stability of the radar component 1. In addition, some radar domes 17 also use special materials and designs to improve the performance of the radar 131 (such as reducing reflectivity, suppressing spurious signals, etc.), thereby improving the detection range and accuracy of the radar 131. The radar dome 17 can also be coordinated with the appearance of the vehicle, making the overall appearance more beautiful, while adding a sense of technology and modernity to the vehicle.
