Abstract
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] Driver assistance systems are active safety technologies that assist the driver, aiming to improve driving safety and convenience. Typical commercial vehicles are equipped with lane departure warning systems and front collision warning systems, while more advanced commercial vehicles may feature 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 car's front windshield. The operator needs to align it with the naked eye and install it manually. It is very easy to exceed the tolerance and the posture cannot be ensured to be completely aligned when the vehicle 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 calibration failure.
[0004] CN112407106B provides a method and device for installing a split binocular camera. The method includes: determining a central symmetric plane of the vehicle; determining a target horizontal line using a first level gauge located on the front windshield; and determining a characteristic installation point using second and third level gauges located on the front windshield. The second and third level gauges are located on either side of the central symmetric plane. When the horizontal calibration lines emitted by the second and third level gauges coincide with the target horizontal line, and the distances between the second and third level gauges and the central symmetric plane are both half the binocular camera's target baseline, the intersection of the vertical calibration lines emitted by the second and third level gauges and the target horizontal line is the characteristic installation point. However, this prior art is relatively complex and does not disclose a technical solution for ensuring accurate camera installation angles.
[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 windshield area 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, this 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 during the assembly process through an auxiliary tooling and verify the out-of-tolerance situation of the camera, better ensuring the calibration success rate of the camera involved in the commercial vehicle driving assistance system, and solving the problems of difficult positioning points, difficult fixation, and poor versatility in the prior art for camera assembly.
[0007] The present invention provides the following solutions
[0008] An auxiliary device for assembling a vehicle-mounted camera includes a limiting device and a positioning device. The limiting device includes a fixing part, which is horizontally arranged. Two limiting parts are symmetrically arranged on the lower sides of both ends of the fixing part. A limiting groove is formed between the two limiting parts. The positioning device is fixedly connected to the middle of the front end face of the fixing part.
[0009] A limiting groove is formed between the two limiting parts, which is used to position the left and right positions of the camera during camera installation, and the positioning device is used for positioning to make the yaw angle of the camera meet the installation requirements.
[0010] Furthermore, the limiting device is an overall "冂"-shaped plate structure. Suction cups are respectively provided at the upper corners of both ends of the rear end face of the fixing part. The bottom edges of the two limiting parts are both horizontal and collinear. The inner side edges of the limiting parts are perpendicular to the bottom edges.
[0011] Suction cups are respectively provided at the upper corners of both ends of the rear end face of the fixing part, which can be adsorbed on the front windshield to fix the entire device. The bottom edges of the two limiting parts can be fitted with the connection part between the instrument panel and the front windshield. The inner side edges 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 edge 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.
[0013] The laser emits a laser line, which cooperates with the level to make the camera roll angle 0°, meeting the installation requirements.
[0014] Furthermore, slide rails are arranged on the inner sides of the two limiting parts relative to each other, and a limit ruler is slidably connected between the two slide rails.
[0015] Setting a limit ruler to limit the installation height of the camera makes installation more convenient. The limit ruler can slide up and down along the slide rail to adapt to vehicle models with different camera installation heights, thereby improving the versatility of the device.
[0016] A vehicle-mounted camera assembly method, based on the above-mentioned vehicle-mounted camera assembly auxiliary device, comprises the following steps:
[0017] Calibrate the vehicle camera assembly auxiliary device before first use;
[0018] Adjust and fix the vehicle camera assembly auxiliary device;
[0019] Install the camera on the black mounting area of the front windshield;
[0020] Check whether the camera is installed properly.
[0021] Furthermore, the verification of the vehicle-mounted camera assembly auxiliary device before the first use includes the following steps:
[0022] Place the bottom edge of the limiting part of the limiting device on the connection between the instrument panel and the front windshield;
[0023] Turn on the laser and adjust the limit device parallel to the left and right sides so that the laser line passes through the center of the positioning mark in the black area of the front windshield installation;
[0024] Adsorbing the suction cup of the fixing portion onto the front windshield;
[0025] Determine whether the inner side of the limiting portion coincides with the left and right sides of the rectangular installation area of the installation black area:

[0027] If so, observe whether the bubble of the level gauge on the positioning device is horizontal and centered;
[0028] If not, the verification fails and the auxiliary device needs to be adjusted or remade;
[0029] If yes, the verification passes;
[0030] Verifying whether the camera is properly installed includes the following steps:
[0031] Re-engage the two stoppers of the auxiliary tooling with the two side stoppers of the camera, and slide them from top to bottom until the bottom edge of the stoppers touches the instrument panel;
[0032] Observe whether the bubble of the level gauge on the positioning device is horizontal and centered;
[0033] If so, the camera assembly is within tolerance and the installation is complete;
[0034] If not, the camera assembly is out of tolerance. Check the camera and reassemble it.
[0035] Furthermore, the adjusting and fixing of the vehicle-mounted camera assembly auxiliary device includes:
[0036] Place the bottom edge of the limiting part of the limiting device on the connection between the instrument panel and the front windshield;

[0043] Furthermore, the adjusting and fixing vehicle-mounted camera assembly auxiliary device further includes sliding a limit ruler, and fixing the limit ruler so that the bottom edge of the limit ruler coincides with the upper edge of the triangular positioning mark.
[0044] Furthermore, the step of installing the camera on the installation black area of the front windshield includes:
[0045] Plug the camera wiring harness into the camera;
[0046] Place the top surface of the camera in contact with the bottom edge of the limit ruler, and stick it to the installation black area through the limit groove of the limit device;
[0047] Remove the auxiliary device after pasting.
[0048] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0049] The present invention provides an auxiliary device and method for assembling a vehicle-mounted camera. The auxiliary device ensures the assembly quality and verification of the camera and can be adapted to various vehicle models with different camera installation heights.
[0050] Through suction cup fixation and laser line positioning, the suction cup utilizes the properties of glass, allowing the auxiliary tooling to be securely attached to the windshield with virtually no weight increase. Laser line positioning can be adapted to different cabs, eliminating the need to produce different auxiliary tooling for varying heights of the camera mounting black area on the windshield. This auxiliary device has a simple structure, is easy to install, and has low manufacturing costs. The integration of a laser and a level simplifies the auxiliary tooling structure, reduces its weight, makes it easy to use and lightweight, and integrates assembly and verification functions. This solves the problems of existing technologies such as difficulty finding a positioning point near the camera assembly, difficulty in fixing, and poor versatility.
