Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of vehicle-mounted camera assembly, and in particular to a vehicle-mounted camera assembly auxiliary device and method. Background Art
[0002] Driving assistance systems refer to active safety technologies that provide assistance to drivers. These systems are designed to improve driving safety and convenience. Commercial vehicles are generally equipped with lane departure warning systems and front vehicle collision preload systems, while more advanced commercial vehicles are equipped with lane keeping assist systems and active emergency braking systems.
[0003] The camera is an important component of these systems, and its calibration is also an indispensable part of the successful operation of the driving assistance function. In order to ensure the safety of the driver and other passengers involved in the driving assistance system and to cope with the complexity of actual working conditions, the calibration of the camera has extremely high requirements for its assembly accuracy, vehicle status and environment. In the actual calibration process, the camera needs to be pasted on the assembly black area inside the front windshield of the car. The operator needs to align it with the naked eye and install it manually. It is very easy to exceed the tolerance and the vehicle cannot ensure that the posture is completely aligned when it drives to the calibration station. Therefore, even if the target has a certain ability to adapt to the parking posture of the vehicle, if the above two reasons cause the camera to deviate significantly when facing the target, there is a high probability that the camera will exceed the calibration range and cause the calibration to fail.
[0004] CN112407106B provides a method and device for installing a split binocular camera, the method comprising: determining the central symmetric plane of the vehicle; determining the target horizontal line by a first level meter located on the front windshield; determining the installation feature point by a second and third level meter located on the front windshield; the second and third level meters are located on both sides of the central symmetric plane, when the horizontal calibration lines emitted by the second and third level meters coincide with the target horizontal line, and the distances between the second and third level meters and the central symmetric plane are both half of the target baseline of the binocular camera, the intersection of the vertical calibration lines emitted by the second and third level meters and the target horizontal line is the installation feature point. However, the prior art is relatively complex and does not disclose a technical solution to ensure the precise installation angle of the camera.
[0005] CN216424285U discloses a portable suction cup type front camera installation tooling, including a positioning tooling and a pressing tooling. The positioning tooling includes a suction cup handle, a first suction cup, and a positioning frame. The positioning frame is connected to the first suction cup through a steering control member. The first suction cup is connected to the windshield. A suction cup handle is provided on the suction cup. The camera is pasted at the position of the windshield restricted by the positioning frame. The pressing tooling includes a fixing plate. A threaded hole is provided in the middle of the fixing plate. A screw rod is provided in the threaded hole. The upper end of the screw rod is connected to a rotating handle, and the lower end of the screw rod is connected to a pressing head. The pressing head presses above the camera. Both ends of the fixing plate are respectively connected to a second suction cup through a connecting frame. The second suction cup is connected to the windshield. A suction cup handle is provided on the second suction cup. However, the prior art cannot ensure that the camera is installed in place without out-of-tolerance situations. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an auxiliary device and method for assembling a vehicle-mounted camera, which can prevent out-of-tolerance through an auxiliary tooling during the auxiliary assembly and check the out-of-tolerance situation of the camera, and can better ensure the calibration success rate of the camera involved in the commercial vehicle driving assistance system, and solve the problems of difficult positioning points, difficult fixation, and poor versatility in the prior art for camera assembly.

The bottom edges of the two limiting parts can be attached to the connection part between the instrument panel and the front windshield. The inner sides of the limiting parts are perpendicular to the bottom edges to limit the installation of the camera.
[0012] Furthermore, a laser is provided on the lower surface of the positioning device. The laser line emitted by the laser is parallel to the inner side of the limiting part and coincides with the symmetry axis of the two limiting parts. A spirit level is provided on the front end face of the positioning device.
