[0055] The specific implementation is as follows: the suction cup 21 is set at the four corners of the extrusion plate 201. When installing the camera 10, first press the suction cup 21 to fit the glass surface inside the car, and then rotate the fixing bolt 202 so that the fixing bolt 202 drives the extrusion plate 201 to move along the mounting plate 20 toward the car glass, so that the extrusion plate 201 squeezes the suction cup 21 so that the suction cup 21 can install the camera 10 on the glass inside the car through the mounting plate 20, the connecting plate 22 and the mounting frame 1.

[0056] In another embodiment provided by the present invention, the fixing unit 2 further includes a fixing shaft 23, a fixing shaft 23 is provided at the middle of the upper end of the mounting frame 1, the fixing shaft 23 is rotatably provided at the lower end of the connecting plate 22, a clamping groove 230 is evenly provided at the upper end of the fixing shaft 23 along its circumference, a clamping rod 24 is slidably provided in the connecting plate 22, the lower end of the clamping rod 24 can be clamped into the clamping groove 230 to limit the rotation of the mounting frame 1, and a clamping spring 25 is provided between the clamping rod 24 and the connecting plate 22;

[0057] The specific implementation is as follows: after the camera 10 is installed, the mounting frame 1 is rotated to drive the fixed shaft 23 to rotate at the lower end of the connecting plate 22, so as to adjust the shooting direction of the camera 10. When the mounting frame 1 drives the fixed shaft 23 to rotate, the clamping spring 25 squeezes the clamping rod 24 to move along the connecting plate 22 and makes the clamping rod 24 clamped into the clamping groove 230 at different positions on the fixed shaft 23, so that the clamping rod 24 and the clamping groove 230 lock and fix the adjusted mounting frame 1, adjust the shooting range and direction of the camera 10, and avoid the situation where the shooting direction of the camera 10 changes due to the bumps during the driving of the vehicle.

A stop block 221 is rotatably arranged at the lower end of each blocking rod 220, and a rubber layer is arranged at the lower end of the stop block 221;

[0059] The specific implementation is as follows: rotating the mounting frame 1 allows the fixed axis 23 to rotate at the lower end of the connecting plate 22 to adjust the shooting direction of the camera 10. After the shooting direction of the camera 10 is adjusted, the blocking rod 220 is rotated to allow the blocking rod 220 to descend along the connecting plate 22. In this way, the blocking rod 220 drives the stop block 221 to descend and allows the rubber layer at the lower end of the stop block 221 to fit against the upper end of the mounting frame 1. At this time, the blocking rod 220 is continued to be rotated to allow the blocking rod 220 to continue to descend so that the stop block 221 can squeeze the mounting frame 1 through the rubber layer, thereby allowing the blocking rod 220, the stop block 221 and the rubber layer to lock and fix the position between the connecting plate 22 and the mounting frame 1, thereby preventing the shooting direction of the camera 10 from changing due to bumps during vehicle driving.

[0060] In another embodiment provided by the present invention, a knob is provided at one end of the adjusting rod 30, and two conical blocks 300 are provided on the outside of the rod body of the adjusting rod 30, and extrusion blocks 31 are evenly provided along the circumference of each conical block 300, and each conical block 300 is evenly provided with a plurality of slide grooves along the circumference, and each extrusion block 31 is correspondingly provided in the slide groove of the conical block 300 in a sliding manner, and each extrusion block 31 is provided with an inclined surface, and the inclined surface of each extrusion block 31 fits in the slide groove of the conical block 300;

[0061] The specific implementation is as follows: after the camera 10 is installed on the interior glass through the fixing unit 2, the angle between the mounting plate 20 and the connecting plate 22 is adjusted to adjust the shooting direction of the camera 10. After the angle between the mounting plate 20 and the connecting plate 22 is adjusted, the adjusting rod 30 is rotated by rotating the knob, so that the adjusting rod 30 moves along the connecting plate 22, so that the adjusting rod 30 drives the two conical blocks 300 to move synchronously during movement. In this way, the moved conical block 300 can drive the extrusion block 31 to rotate in the connecting plate 22 and squeeze the mounting plate 20, so that the extrusion block 31 locks and fixes the angle between the mounting plate 20 and the connecting plate 22, so as to fix the shooting direction of the camera 10 while avoiding the situation where the shooting direction of the camera 10 changes due to the bumps during the driving of the vehicle.

[0062] In another embodiment provided by the present invention, the limiting rod 52 includes a first positioning rod 520, the first positioning rod 520 is slidably arranged in the second positioning rod 521, one end of the first positioning rod 520 arranged in the second positioning rod 521 is provided with a locking bolt 522 by threaded matching, the second positioning rod 521 is provided with a moving groove 5210, the locking bolt 522 is slidably arranged in the moving groove 5210, the ends of the first positioning rod 520 and the second positioning rod 521 that are away from each other are both provided with a slider 523 in a rotatable manner, the middle parts of the first support rod 50 and the second support rod 51 are both provided with an adjustment groove 500, and each adjustment groove 500 is provided with a slider 523 in a slidable manner;

[0063] The specific implementation is as follows: after the camera 10 is installed through the fixing unit 2, the angle between the first support rod 50 and the second support rod 51 is adjusted so that the support plate 53 fits on the interior rearview mirror of the vehicle, and the support plate 53 is fixed to the interior rearview mirror of the vehicle by the Velcro strap 54. After the angle between the first support rod 50 and the second support rod 51 is adjusted, the first positioning rod 520 slides in the second positioning rod 521, and the locking bolt 522 slides in the moving groove 5210 at the same time, so that when the total length of the first positioning rod 520 and the second positioning rod 521 changes, the slider 523 can slide along the adjusting groove 500 to adjust the position of the first positioning rod 520 on the second positioning rod 521. After the position of the first positioning rod 520 and the second positioning rod 521 is adjusted, the locking bolt 522 is rotated to lock and fix the first positioning rod 520 on the second positioning rod 521, so that the first positioning rod 520 and the second positioning rod 521 can support and limit the first support rod 50 and the second support rod 51.

[0064] Furthermore, the mounting frame 1 is connected to one end of the first support rod 50 via a pin, so that the support unit 5 can be removed from the mounting frame 1 as a whole by separating the pin and the first support rod 50, so that the camera 10 can be installed at other locations other than the interior rearview mirror via the suction cup 21.

[0065] In another embodiment provided by the present invention, a heat dissipation unit 6 is further included. The heat dissipation unit 6 is disposed in the placement portion 111. The heat dissipation unit 6 includes a temperature sensor. The heat dissipation unit 6 can detect the temperature of the camera 10 through the temperature sensor so as to control the automatic start and stop of the heat dissipation unit 6 to dissipate heat for the camera 10.

[0066] The specific implementation is as follows: a temperature sensor is arranged inside the camera 10, and a threshold value is set for the temperature sensor. The temperature sensor is used to monitor the temperature of the camera 10 when it is working. When the temperature of the camera 10 exceeds the set threshold value, the temperature sensor detects it and controls the heat dissipation unit 6 to start so as to dissipate heat for the camera 10. When the temperature of the camera 10 does not exceed the set threshold value or the temperature of the camera 10 drops below the threshold value, the temperature sensor only monitors the temperature without controlling the heat dissipation unit 6 to start or control the heat dissipation unit 6 to stop, so as to reduce energy consumption and extend the service life of the camera 10.

[0067] In another embodiment provided by the present invention, the heat dissipation unit 6 also includes a support frame 61, a drive motor 62 is arranged on the support frame 61, the temperature sensor is electrically connected to the drive motor 62, a first synchronous pulley 63 is arranged at the output end of the drive motor 62, two fixed frames 64 are symmetrically arranged about the drive motor 62 in the placement portion 111, one end of a rotating rod 69 is rotatably arranged in the middle of each fixed frame 64, the other end of each rotating rod 69 and the output end of the drive motor 62 are respectively provided with a fan blade 65, and one end of each rotating rod 69 with the fan blade 65 is respectively provided with a second synchronous pulley 66, and each second synchronous pulley 66 is connected to the first synchronous pulley 63 through a synchronous belt 67, and a plurality of air outlets 68 are arranged on the side of the mounting frame 1 close to the camera 10, and the air outlet 68 is connected to the placement portion 111;

[0068] The specific implementation is as follows: after the temperature sensor detects that the temperature of the camera 10 exceeds the set threshold, it sends a signal to control the drive motor 62 to rotate. In this way, the drive motor 62 can drive the first synchronous pulley 63 and the fan blade 65 installed at its output end to rotate. When the first synchronous pulley 63 rotates, it can drive the second synchronous pulley 66 to rotate synchronously through the synchronous belt 67, so that the second synchronous pulley 66 drives the rotating rod 69 to rotate, so that the rotating rod 69 drives the fan blade 65 installed thereon to rotate, that is, the drive motor 62 can drive the rotating rod and the fan blade 65 to rotate through the first synchronous pulley 63, the synchronous belt 67 and the second synchronous pulley 66, so that the fan blade 65 can rotate when the first synchronous pulley 63, the synchronous belt 67 and the second synchronous pulley 66 are rotated. 5, the air in the mounting frame 1 and the camera 10 is sucked, and the air in the mounting frame 1 and the camera 10 is accelerated by the fan blades 65 and ejected from the multiple air outlets 68. The flowing air has two functions: first, the flowing air can promptly take away the heat generated by the camera 10 when it is working, so that the flowing air can cool the camera 10, thereby extending the service life of the camera 10; second, the flowing air is accelerated and ejected through the air outlets 68, and the ejected air can be sprayed to the lens of the camera 10, so that the high-speed flowing air can clean the lens of the camera 10 to prevent dust from adhering to the lens, thereby ensuring that the camera 10 can always capture clear images.

[0069] Working principle: first press the suction cup 21 to fit the glass surface inside the car, then rotate the fixing bolt 202, so that the fixing bolt 202 drives the extrusion plate 201 to move along the mounting plate 20 in the direction close to the car glass, so that the extrusion plate 201 squeezes the suction cup 21 so that the suction cup 21 can install the camera 10 on the glass inside the car through the mounting plate 20, the connecting plate 22 and the mounting frame 1; after the camera 10 is installed, adjust the angle between the mounting plate 20 and the connecting plate 22 to adjust the shooting direction of the camera 10. After the angle between the mounting plate 20 and the connecting plate 22 is adjusted, rotate the knob to rotate the adjustment rod 30, so that the adjustment rod 30 moves along the connecting plate 22, so that the adjustment rod 30 moves along the connecting plate 22. The two conical blocks 300 are moved synchronously, so that the moved conical blocks 300 can drive the extrusion block 31 to rotate in the connecting plate 22, and make the extrusion block 31 squeeze the mounting plate 20, so that the extrusion block 31 locks and fixes the angle between the mounting plate 20 and the connecting plate 22, so as to fix the shooting direction of the camera 10 and prevent the camera 10 from changing its shooting direction due to the bumps during the driving of the vehicle. Conversely, the knob is rotated in the opposite direction, so that the adjustment rod 30 rotates in the opposite direction and moves in the opposite direction along the connecting plate 22, so that the extrusion block 31 rotates in the opposite direction under the action of the torsion spring to reset and release the locking and fixing of the mounting plate 20, so that the mounting plate 20 and the connecting plate 22 can rotate to adjust the shooting direction of the camera 10; After the camera 10 adjusts the shooting direction through the mounting plate 20 and the connecting plate 22, the angle between the first support rod 50 and the second support rod 51 is adjusted so that the support plate 53 fits on the rearview mirror inside the vehicle, and the support plate 53 is fixed to the rearview mirror inside the vehicle through the Velcro strap 54 so that the support plate 53 supports and limits the mounting frame 1 to avoid the situation where the shooting direction of the camera 10 changes due to the bumps during the driving of the vehicle. When the angle between the first support rod 50 and the second support rod 51 is adjusted, the first positioning rod 520 slides in the second positioning rod 521, so that the total length of the first positioning rod 520 and the second positioning rod 521 changes. At this time, the locking bolt 522 slides in the moving groove 5210, and the slider 523 The first positioning rod 520 can be slid along the adjustment groove 500 to adjust the position of the second positioning rod 521. After the first positioning rod 520 is adjusted to the position of the second positioning rod 521, the locking bolt 522 is rotated to lock and fix the first positioning rod 520 on the second positioning rod 521, so that the first positioning rod 520 and the second positioning rod 521 can support and limit the first support rod 50 and the second support rod 51, ensuring that the camera 10 is firmly installed; when disassembling, the fixing bolt 202 is rotated in the opposite direction to make the suction cup 21 fall off the glass, and the Velcro strap 54 is removed from the rearview mirror to remove the camera 10, and the camera 10 is connected to the rotating ring 40 in a snap-fit ​​manner to facilitate the replacement of the camera 10;

[0070] After the camera 10 is fixed, the mounting bracket 1 is rotated so that the mounting bracket 1 drives the fixed shaft 23 to rotate at the lower end of the connecting plate 22 to adjust the shooting direction of the camera 10, and when the mounting bracket 1 drives the fixed shaft 23 to rotate, the clamping spring 25 squeezes the clamping rod 24 to move along the connecting plate 22 and makes the clamping rod 24 snap into the clamping groove 230 on the fixing shaft 23, so that the clamping rod 24 and the clamping groove 230 lock and fix the adjusted mounting bracket 1, and when the mounting bracket 1 is rotated, the clamping groove 230 can squeeze the clamping rod 24, so that the clamping rod 24 squeezes the clamping spring 25 to slide along the connecting plate 22, so that the clamping rod 24 can reciprocate along the connecting plate 22 when the mounting bracket 1 rotates, so that the clamping rod 24 can snap into the clamping groove 230 at different positions on the fixing shaft 23, thereby adjusting the shooting range and direction of the camera 10; the shooting range and direction of the camera 10 are adjusted. After completion, the blocking rod 220 is rotated so that the blocking rod 220 descends along the connecting plate 22. In this way, the blocking rod 220 drives the stop block 221 to descend and makes the rubber layer at the lower end of the stop block 221 fit the upper end of the mounting frame 1. At this time, the blocking rod 220 is continued to be rotated so that the blocking rod 220 continues to descend so that the stop block 221 squeezes the mounting frame 1 through the rubber layer, so that the blocking rod 220, the stop block 221 and the rubber layer lock and fix the position between the connecting plate 22 and the mounting frame 1 to prevent the bumping during the driving of the vehicle from causing the shooting angle of the camera 10 to change. The blocking rod 220 is rotated in the opposite direction so that the blocking rod 220 drives the stop block 221 to move up along the connecting plate 22 away from the mounting frame 1, so that the blocking rod 220 and the stop block 221 release the locking fixation of the mounting frame 1, so that the mounting frame 1 can drive the camera 10 to rotate freely to adjust the shooting direction;

[0071] After the camera 10 has been working for a long time, its temperature will rise, resulting in a decrease in image quality, automatic shutdown of the camera 10 or reduced operating performance, or even hardware damage. To avoid such situations, a temperature sensor is set in the camera 10 to monitor the temperature of the camera 10 when it is working, and a threshold is set for the temperature sensor. When the temperature of the camera 10 does not exceed the set threshold or the temperature of the camera 10 drops below the threshold, the temperature sensor only monitors the temperature without controlling the heat dissipation unit 6 to start or stop; when the temperature of the camera 10 exceeds the set threshold, the temperature sensor detects and controls the drive motor 62 to rotate. In this way, The driving motor 62 can drive the first synchronous pulley 63 and the fan blade 65 installed at its output end to rotate. When the first synchronous pulley 63 rotates, it can drive the second synchronous pulley 66 to rotate synchronously through the synchronous belt 67, so that the second synchronous pulley 66 drives the rotating rod 69 to rotate, so that the rotating rod 69 drives the fan blade 65 installed thereon to rotate, that is, the driving motor 62 can drive the rotating rod and the fan blade 65 to rotate through the first synchronous pulley 63, the synchronous belt 67 and the second synchronous pulley 66, so that the rotating fan blade 65 absorbs the air in the mounting frame 1 and the camera 10 during rotation, and the air flows to the cavity portion 110 through the camera 10, and then the air is sucked into the mounting frame 1 and the camera 10 by the rotating fan blade 65. 110 flows to the placement portion 111, and finally sprays toward the lens of the camera 10 through the air outlet 68. When the air flows through the camera 10 to the cavity portion 110, the sponge 112 can filter the air to preliminarily remove the dust in the air. When the air flows from the cavity portion 110 to the placement portion 111, the filter element 131 can filter the air during flow to ensure that dust and other impurities are removed, thereby ensuring a clean working environment for the camera 10 and extending the service life of the camera 10. The sealing plate 13 provided by the dynamic seal can timely remove the sponge 112 and the filter element 131 for cleaning or replacement, thereby ensuring the filtration of the sponge 112 and the filter element 131. The air in the mounting frame 1 and the camera 10 is accelerated by the fan blades 65 and then ejected from the multiple air outlets 68 as high-speed flowing air. The high-speed flowing air has two functions: first, the flowing air can promptly take away the heat generated by the camera 10 when it is working, so that the flowing air can cool down the camera 10, thereby extending the service life of the camera 10; second, the flowing air is accelerated and ejected through the air outlet 68, and the ejected air can be sprayed toward the lens of the camera 10, so that the high-speed flowing air can clean the lens of the camera 10 to prevent dust from adhering to the lens, thereby ensuring that the camera 10 can always capture clear pictures.
