DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0034] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The implementations described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all implementations consistent with the present application. Instead, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0035] In the embodiments of the present application, words such as "first" and "second" are used to distinguish between identical or similar items with substantially the same functions and effects. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that words such as "first" and "second" do not limit the quantity and execution order, and words such as "first" and "second" do not necessarily limit the difference. It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, words such as "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations or explanations. Any embodiment or design described as "exemplary" or "for example" in the present application should not be interpreted as being more preferred or more advantageous than other embodiments or designs. Specifically, the use of words such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present related concepts in a specific way. In the embodiments of the present application, "at least one" refers to one or more, and "more" refers to two or more.

[0036] It should be noted that the "at..." in the embodiment of the present application can be the instant when a certain situation occurs, or it can be a period of time after a certain situation occurs, and the embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit this. In addition, the transmission forced lubrication system provided in the embodiment of the present application is only used as an example, and a transmission forced lubrication system can also include more or less content.

[0037] With the development of logistics and transportation, in order to improve transportation efficiency, commercial heavy-duty transport vehicles have appeared with outer widths exceeding the width of ordinary cargo boxes, such as 2550mm, and some cargo boxes even reach 3000mm. Faced with the ultra-wide cargo box width, the existing traditional mirrors cannot help the driver obtain the driving conditions around the heavy-duty transport vehicle.

[0038] Therefore, if the traditional mirror is to satisfy the driver's need to observe the side of the vehicle matching the extra-wide cargo box through the mirror, the mirror arm needs to be lengthened. In this way, the mirror surface stability is likely to be poor, resulting in blurred vision and affecting driving safety. With the development of electronic technology, it is allowed to replace the traditional mirror with a camera-display system. Given the light weight of the camera, the camera can be extended as much as possible to ensure that the driver can perceive the road conditions on the side of the vehicle through the camera-display system.

[0039] Based on this, the embodiment of the present application proposes a camera bracket and a vehicle, which can be used in the field of vehicle driving, and aims to solve the above technical problems of the prior art. By rotating the motor to drive the connecting rod and the main bracket arm set on the base, the connecting rod and the main bracket arm cooperate with each other, so that the camera hinged to the connecting rod and the main bracket arm can extend beyond the X-axis projection surface of the heavy-duty truck cargo box, that is, the longitudinal projection surface, to a preset angle, so that the driver can observe the road conditions on the side of the vehicle through the electronic mirror system, thereby avoiding blurred vision due to the poor mirror stability of existing traditional mirrors, thereby improving the driving safety of heavy-duty transport vehicles.

[0040] The technical solution of the present application and how the technical solution of the present application solves the above-mentioned technical problems are described in detail below with specific embodiments. The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments. The embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0041] Figure 1 The overall structure diagram of the camera bracket provided for this application is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the camera bracket includes: a base 1, a main bracket arm 3, a connecting rod 4, a mounting bracket 6 and a rotating motor 2.

[0042] Among them, the first end of the main support arm 3 and the first end of the connecting rod 4 are both hinged to the base 1, and the second end of the main support arm 3 and the second end of the connecting rod 4 are both hinged to the mounting bracket 6.

[0043] Furthermore, the camera 5 can be rigidly fixed on the mounting bracket 6, and the rotating motor 2 and the main bracket arm 3 are fixed on the base 1 together. The rotating motor 2 is used to drive the main bracket arm 3 to rotate, and the main bracket arm 3 can drive the connecting rod 4 and the mounting bracket 6 and the camera 5 to move. Of course, the camera 5 can also be detachably installed on the mounting bracket 6, as long as the camera 5 can be set on the mounting bracket 6, so that the driver can observe the road conditions around the vehicle through the camera 5.

[0044] Furthermore, when the driver sets the observation control switch in the cab to the first switch state, the rotating motor 2 rotates clockwise, and at the same time, the main support arm 3 is driven to rotate clockwise by the rotating motor 2, and the angle of the main support arm 3 becomes larger. Driven by the main support arm 3, the connecting rod 4 and the mounting bracket 6 hinged to the main support arm 3 also begin to rotate clockwise, so that the position of the camera 5 set on the mounting bracket 6 moves outward, that is, moves toward the side direction away from the heavy-duty transport vehicle. The camera 5 sends the collected image to the electronic mirror system matched with the camera 5, so that the driver in the cab can view the vehicle's driving conditions through the electronic mirror system, thereby avoiding the defect that the existing traditional mirrors cannot help the driver fully observe the surrounding road environment when facing the extra-wide cargo box of heavy-duty transport vehicles, thereby improving driving safety.

[0045] Furthermore, when the driver sets the observation control switch in the cab to the second switch state, the rotating motor 2 rotates counterclockwise, and at the same time, the main support arm 3 is driven to rotate counterclockwise by the rotating motor 2. At this time, the angle of the main support arm 3 becomes smaller. Driven by the main support arm 3 with a smaller angle, the connecting rod 4 and the mounting bracket 6 hinged to the main support arm 3 also begin to rotate counterclockwise, so that the camera 5 set on the mounting bracket 6 moves in the direction away from the side of the heavy transport vehicle, that is, the position of the camera 5 moves inward, and moves inward to the initial position of the camera 5 to achieve the reset of the camera 5, wherein the initial position of the camera 5 can observe the side road conditions of the heavy transport vehicle itself. Of course, the stopping position of the camera 5 can be determined according to the control of the driver, as long as it is between the maximum working position and the initial position of the camera 5, thereby avoiding the defect that the existing traditional mirrors cannot help the driver to make adaptive adjustments according to the width of the vehicle due to the fixed observation position, realizing the flexibility of the mirror position, and then being able to help the driver fully observe the surrounding road environment, thereby improving driving safety.

[0046] The embodiment of the present application proposes a camera bracket and a vehicle, which can be used in the field of vehicle driving, and aims to solve the above technical problems of the prior art. By rotating the motor to drive the connecting rod and the main bracket arm set on the base, the connecting rod and the main bracket arm cooperate with each other, so that the camera articulated with the connecting rod and the main bracket arm can extend beyond the X-axis projection surface of the heavy-duty vehicle cargo box, so that the driver can observe the road conditions on the side of the vehicle through the electronic mirror system, thereby avoiding blurred vision due to the poor mirror stability of existing traditional mirrors, thereby improving the driving safety of heavy-duty transport vehicles.

[0047] based on Figure 1 Embodiment: The structure of the base 1 and the rotating motor 2 in the camera bracket is introduced in detail below.

[0048] Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the structure of the base provided for this application, Figure 3 The schematic diagram of the structure of the rotating motor provided in this application, combined with Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the rotating motor 2 includes: a fixed component 201 and a rotating component 202 .

[0049] Furthermore, the fixed component 201 and the main support arm 3 are rigidly connected and fixed together on the base 1, and the rotating component 202 can be rotatably connected to the fixed component 201, so that the rotating motor 2 rotating component 202 can rotate around the rotating motor fixed component 201.

[0050] The base 1 is provided with a fixing hole 101 for fixing the rotating motor 2 and the main support arm 3 together, and a third hinge hole 102 for hingedly connecting the connecting rod 4 .

[0051] Furthermore, the base 1 includes a bottom plate and a vertical plate. The vertical plate is arranged on the bottom plate. A plurality of mounting holes are also arranged on the bottom plate. By cooperating with the mounting holes and the bolts, the base 1 is connected to the heavy vehicle by bolts. The vertical plate is provided with the above-mentioned fixing hole 101 and the third hinge hole 102.

[0052] Furthermore, the fixing hole 101 on the base 1 is adapted to the fixing component 201 on the rotating motor 2. Based on the cooperation between the fixing hole 101 and the fixing component 201, the rotating motor 2 can be set on the vertical plate by bolts, that is, the rotating motor 2 is rigidly set on the base 1.

[0053] Furthermore, when the driver needs to adjust the rear-view mirror of the heavy-duty transport vehicle, the observation control switch in the cab is set to the first switch state or the second switch state. When the observation control switch is detected to be actuated, the rotating motor 2 arranged on the base 1 rotates according to the first switch state or the second switch state. If the observation control switch is set to the first switch state, the rotating component 202 of the rotating motor 2 rotates clockwise around the rotating motor fixed component 201. If the observation control switch is set to the second switch state, the rotating component 202 of the rotating motor 2 rotates counterclockwise around the rotating motor fixed component 201.

[0054] The embodiment of the present application proposes a camera bracket and a vehicle, which can be used in the field of vehicle driving, and aims to solve the above technical problems of the prior art. By rotating the motor to drive the connecting rod and the main bracket arm set on the base, the connecting rod and the main bracket arm cooperate with each other, so that the camera articulated with the connecting rod and the main bracket arm can extend beyond the X-axis projection surface of the heavy-duty vehicle cargo box, so that the driver can observe the road conditions on the side of the vehicle through the electronic mirror system, thereby avoiding blurred vision due to the poor mirror stability of existing traditional mirrors, thereby improving the driving safety of heavy-duty transport vehicles.

[0055] The structure of the main support arm 3 and the connecting rod 4 in the camera support is introduced in detail below.

[0056] Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the structure of the main support arm provided in this application, Figure 5 The structural diagram of the connecting rod provided in this application, combined with Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the first end 301 and the second end 301 of the main support arm 3 are both arc-shaped structures, and the size of the arc-shaped structure of the first end 301 of the main support arm 3 is larger than the size of the arc-shaped structure of the second end 301 of the main support arm 3.

[0057] Among them, the first end 301 of the main support arm 3 is adapted to the fixing hole 101 on the base 1 and the fixing component on the rotating motor 2, and the second end 301 of the main support arm 3 is hinged with the second hinge hole 602 on the mounting bracket 6.

[0058] Furthermore, the main support arm 3 is an obtuse-angle structure, which is adapted to the fixing hole 101 on the base 1 and the fixing component on the rotating motor 2 through the setting of the obtuse-angle structure. Of course, it can also be set to other shapes as long as it can achieve the connection between the base 1, the rotating motor 2 and the mounting bracket 6.

[0059] Among them, the first end 401 of the connecting rod 4 and the second end 402 of the connecting rod are both arc-shaped structures, and the arc-shaped structure of the first end 401 of the connecting rod 4 and the arc-shaped structure of the second end 402 of the connecting rod 4 have the same size. Of course, it can also be set to other shapes such as a circle, as long as the connecting rod 4 can be hinged with the mounting bracket 6 and the base 1.

[0060] A first through hole is provided in the arc structure of the first end 401 of the connecting rod 4, and the first through hole in the arc structure of the first end 401 of the connecting rod 4 is hingedly connected with the first hinge hole 602 on the mounting bracket 6 to realize the connection between the connecting rod 4 and the mounting bracket 6;

[0061] Furthermore, a second through hole is also provided in the arc structure of the second end 402 of the connecting rod 4. The second through hole in the arc structure of the second end 402 of the connecting rod 4 is hinged with the third hinge hole 102 on the base 1 to realize the connection between the connecting rod 4 and the base 1.

[0062] Furthermore, the connecting rod 4 is a long straight-line structure, and of course it can be set to other shapes, as long as it can realize the hinged mounting bracket 6 and the base 1, and transmit the torque output by the rotating motor 2. Among them, the connecting rod 4 can be set to a long straight-line structure with a fixed length, and can also be set to a retractable long straight-line structure.

[0063] Furthermore, when the driver needs to adjust the rear-view mirror and sets the observation control switch to the first switch state in the cab, the rotating motor 2 arranged on the base 1 rotates clockwise according to the first switch state. When the rotating motor 2 starts to rotate clockwise, the hinged main support arm 3 is driven to rotate clockwise at the same time through the fixed component 201 on the rotating motor 2, that is, the angle between the main support arm 3 and the side of the vehicle body becomes larger. At this time, the main support arm 3 drives the mounting bracket 6 to rotate synchronously. When the connecting rod 4 is a long straight structure with a fixed length, the mounting bracket 6 is limited in rotation angle under the action of the connecting rod 4, thereby avoiding the situation that the camera 5 on the mounting bracket 6 cannot directly obtain the side road condition of the vehicle. At the same time, because the connecting rod 4 is hinged to the base 1, the shaking caused by the rotation of the rotating motor 2 and the main support arm 3 is avoided, resulting in blurred images obtained by the camera on the mounting bracket 6.

[0064] Furthermore, when the driver sets the observation control switch to the second switch state in the cab, the rotating motor 2 arranged on the base 1 rotates counterclockwise according to the second switch state. When the rotating motor 2 starts to rotate counterclockwise, the hinged main support arm 3 is driven to rotate counterclockwise at the same time through the fixing component 201 on the rotating motor 2, that is, the angle between the main support arm 3 and the side of the vehicle body becomes smaller. At this time, the main support arm 3 drives the mounting bracket 6 to rotate synchronously, and the mounting bracket 6 is reset under the action of the connecting rod 4.

[0065] Furthermore, when the connecting rod 4 is configured as a retractable long straight structure, the angle of the mounting bracket 6 can be fixed by adjusting the second end 301 of the main bracket arm 3 to cooperate with the second hinge hole 602 on the mounting bracket 6, and adjusting the arc structure of the first end 401 of the connecting rod 4 to cooperate with the first hinge hole 602 on the mounting bracket 6, and based on the fixed angle, the surrounding road conditions can be obtained through the camera 5 on the mounting bracket 6.

[0066] The embodiment of the present application proposes a camera bracket and a vehicle, which can be used in the field of vehicle driving. By rotating a motor to drive a connecting rod and a main bracket arm arranged on a base, the connecting rod and the main bracket arm cooperate with each other, so that a camera articulated with the connecting rod and the main bracket arm can extend beyond the X-axis projection surface of a heavy-duty vehicle cargo box, so that the driver can observe the road conditions on the side of the vehicle through an electronic mirror system, thereby avoiding blurred vision caused by poor mirror stability of existing traditional mirrors, thereby improving the driving safety of heavy-duty transport vehicles.

[0067] Figure 6 A schematic diagram of the structure of the mounting bracket provided for this application, Figure 7 The camera bracket folding diagram provided for this application is combined with Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the mounting bracket 6 is provided with a first hinge hole 602 hinged to the main bracket arm 3 and a second hinge hole 602 hinged to the connecting rod 4 . The first hinge hole 602 and the second hinge hole 602 are located at two different positions on the mounting bracket 6 .

[0068] Among them, for the second hinge hole 602 of the connecting rod hinge, the second hinge hole 602 is set on the cylindrical protrusion on the mounting bracket 6. After the cylindrical protrusion of the mounting bracket 6 is matched with the first through hole in the arc structure of the first end 401 of the connecting rod 4 and installed, and based on the second hinge hole 602, the mounting bracket 6 and the connecting rod 4 are hinged by bolts.

[0069] Furthermore, two mounting points 603, i.e. mounting holes, are provided on the mounting bracket 6. Each mounting point 603 cooperates with the mounting structure of the camera 5 so that the camera 5 is set on the mounting bracket 6. Of course, the mounting bracket 6 and the camera 5 can be connected by bolts or by other means, as long as the camera 5 can be stably set on the mounting bracket 6. A plurality of mounting holes can also be provided on the mounting bracket 6, as long as the camera 5 can be set on the mounting bracket 6. The mounting holes are located at different positions from the first hinge hole 601 and the second hinge hole 602.

[0070] Furthermore, when the driver cannot observe the road width environment on the side of the current transport vehicle through the mirror in the current position due to the wide cargo box of the current transport vehicle, the driver sets the observation control switch in the cab to the first switch state, and at this time the rotating component 202 of the rotating motor 2 starts to rotate clockwise around the fixed component 201, and the main support arm 3 rotates clockwise under the drive of the rotating component 202 of the rotating motor 2, and the angle of the main support arm 3 becomes larger. Driven by the main support arm 3, the mounting bracket 6 synchronously rotates clockwise, so that the camera 5 on the mounting bracket 6 also rotates clockwise, that is, the camera 5 moves in the direction away from the side of the vehicle. At this time, the connecting rod 4 hinged to the mounting bracket 6 also rotates clockwise under the drive of the mounting bracket 6. Since the other end of the connecting rod 4 with a fixed length is connected to the base 1 The camera 5 is hinged, so when the camera 5 moves away from the side of the vehicle, the mounting bracket 6, under the action of the connecting rod 4 of fixed length, expands the angle between the mounting bracket 6 and the main bracket arm 3, so that the line of sight of the camera 5 is nearly parallel to the side of the vehicle. When the image obtained by the camera 5 is fed back to the cab through the electronic mirror system, so that the driver can fully observe the road conditions around the vehicle and the side of the vehicle, the driver sets the observation control switch to the stop state. At this time, the rotating component 202 of the rotating motor 2 stops rotating, so that the camera 5 on the mounting bracket 6 maintains the current position, so that the driver in the cab can view the driving conditions on the side of the vehicle and the status of the side of the vehicle through the electronic mirror system, thereby helping the driver to fully observe the defects of the surrounding environment and improve driving safety.

[0071] Furthermore, when the transport vehicle is changed from a wider cargo box or cargo to a standard or narrower cargo box or cargo, the situation on the side of the vehicle is out of the observation range of the mirror or camera, and the camera 5 needs to be moved toward the direction close to the side of the vehicle, and the observation control switch in the cab is set to the second switch state. At this time, the rotating component 202 of the rotating motor 2 begins to rotate counterclockwise around the fixed component 201, and the main support arm 3 rotates counterclockwise under the drive of the rotating component 202 of the rotating motor 2, and the angle of the main support arm 3 becomes smaller. Driven by the main support arm 3, the mounting bracket 6 synchronously rotates counterclockwise, so that the camera 5 on the mounting bracket 6 also rotates counterclockwise, that is, the camera 5 moves toward the direction close to the side of the vehicle until the driver can view the situation on the side of the vehicle through the electronic mirror system, or when the camera 5 rotates counterclockwise to the initial position, the observation control switch is set to the stop state, so that it can flexibly adapt to cargo boxes or cargo of different widths.

[0072] The embodiment of the present application proposes a camera bracket and a vehicle, which can be used in the field of vehicle driving. By rotating a motor to drive a connecting rod and a main bracket arm arranged on a base, the connecting rod and the main bracket arm cooperate with each other, so that a camera articulated with the connecting rod and the main bracket arm can extend beyond the X-axis projection surface of a heavy-duty vehicle cargo box, so that the driver can observe the road conditions on the side of the vehicle through an electronic mirror system, thereby avoiding blurred vision caused by poor mirror stability of existing traditional mirrors, thereby improving the driving safety of heavy-duty transport vehicles.

[0073] In addition, the present invention also provides a vehicle, which has the camera bracket described in any of the above embodiments.
