[0051] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 2 It is a stereogram of a roll mechanism provided in one embodiment of the present application.

The translation plate 410 is also provided with a mounting block, and the mounting block is provided with a plurality of mounting holes for mounting the AVM (Around View Monitor) of the vehicle calibration equipment.

Accordingly, the fixing plate 110 can be set on other components besides the crossbeam of the automobile calibration equipment, and the mounting plate can also be used to install other components besides the AVM, which is not limited.

[0054] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 31 is an exploded view of a roll mechanism provided in one embodiment of the present application. In some embodiments, the roll assembly 10 further includes a rotation bearing 140, one end of the rotation bearing 140 is disposed on the fixed plate 110, and the other end of the rotation bearing 140 is rotatably connected to the roll plate 120, and the rotation axis of the rotation bearing 140 is parallel to the x-axis.

[0055] Through the above structure, the rotary bearing 140 can not only connect the fixed plate 110 and the roll plate 120, but also assist the roll plate 120 to rotate relative to the fixed plate 110. The rotation axis of the rotary bearing 140 is parallel to the x-axis, and is used to limit the rotation direction of the roll plate 120 relative to the fixed plate 110 to the roll direction.

[0056] Specifically, in this embodiment, the rotating bearing 140 is arranged at the center of the fixed plate 110, and the fixed plate 110 is arranged parallel to the roll plate 120. The distance between the fixed plate 110 and the roll plate 120 can be controlled by the height of the rotating bearing 140. A plurality of connection holes are evenly arranged in the circumferential direction at one end of the rotating bearing 140 close to the roll plate 120, and through holes corresponding to the connection holes are also arranged on the roll plate 120. The rotating bearing 140 is connected to the roll plate 120 by connecting members such as bolts and pins, so as to realize the connection between the roll plate 120 and the fixed plate 110. The rotation axis of the rotating bearing 140 is parallel to the x-axis, so when the roll plate 120 rotates relative to the fixed plate 110, it can rotate around the x-axis direction.

[0057] In some embodiments, the first drive motor 130 is disposed on the fixed plate 110 , and the output shaft of the first drive motor 130 is connected to the side of the roll plate 120 . The first drive motor 130 is configured to drive the roll plate 120 to rotate relative to the fixed plate 110 around the rotation axis of the rotating bearing 140 .

[0058] Through the above structure, the output shaft of the first drive motor 130 is connected to the side of the roll plate 120. The output shaft of the first drive motor 130 pushes the side of the roll plate 120, and cooperates with the rotating bearing 140 between the fixed plate 110 and the roll plate 120, so that the rotational motion of the output shaft is converted into the rotational motion of the roll plate 120, thereby realizing the function of the roll plate 120 rotating relative to the fixed plate 110 along the roll direction.

[0059] Specifically, in the present embodiment, the main body of the first drive motor 130 is installed above the fixed plate 110, the first drive motor 130 is a screw nut structure, the output shaft of the first drive motor 130 is a screw, the nut is connected to the top of the roll plate 120, the nut is threadedly matched with the output shaft of the first drive motor 130, and the first drive motor 130 can drive the nut to move on the screw. The second drive motor 220, the third drive motor 320 and the fourth drive motor 420 are all screw nut structures in the present embodiment, and will not be repeated in the following text. For example, when the first drive motor 130 drives the nut to move to the left (i.e., the negative direction of the z-axis), at this time, the top of the roll plate 120 follows the nut to move to the left, and the bottom of the roll plate 120 is restricted by the rotary bearing 140 and moves in the opposite direction of the top of the roll plate 120, that is, the upper half of the roll plate 120 moves to the left, and the lower half of the roll plate 120 moves to the right, so the roll plate 120 as a whole shows counterclockwise rotation. The same is true when the second driving motor 220 drives the nut to move rightward, which will not be described in detail.

[0060] In some embodiments, the output shaft of the first driving motor 130 is provided with a rotatable moving block 131 , the roll plate 120 is provided with a connecting block 121 , the connecting block 121 is provided with a groove 121A, and the moving block 131 abuts against the inner wall of the groove 121A.

[0061] Through the above structure, the moving block 131 abuts against the inner wall of the groove 121A of the connecting block 121. When the output shaft of the first driving motor 130 rotates, the driving nut moves on the screw rod, and the moving block 131 applies pressure to the inner wall of the groove 121A. After the connecting block 121 is subjected to the pressure, it pushes the roll plate 120 to rotate around the rotating bearing 140 to realize the rotation function.

[0062] Specifically, in this embodiment, the nut of the first drive motor 130 is provided with a moving seat, which is also sleeved on the screw rod and can move with the nut. Moving blocks 131 are provided on opposite sides of the moving seat. A protrusion is provided above the roll plate 120, and the connecting block 121 is correspondingly provided with an inner recess, and the protrusion of the roll plate 120 can be snapped into the inner recess of the connecting block 121. Furthermore, the inner recess of the connecting block 121 is also provided with a plurality of through holes, which are used to install connecting members such as bolts to realize the detachable connection between the connecting block 121 and the roll plate 120.

[0063] The connecting block 121 is provided with a groove 121A on one side close to the first driving motor 130, and the inner wall of the groove 121A can abut against the moving block 131. When the nut on the output shaft of the first driving motor 130 moves, the moving seat moves following the nut, and applies pressure to the inner wall of the groove 121A through the moving block 131. The moving block 131 rotates and continues to apply pressure to the inner wall of the groove 121A, so that the connecting block 121 drives the roll plate 120 to rotate around the rotating bearing 140. At this time, the connecting block 121 rotates around the rotating bearing 140 following the roll plate 120. The connecting block 131 is connected to the moving seat and can only move horizontally in the x-axis direction due to the limitation of the screw nut structure. At the same time, the connecting block 131 is squeezed by the tilting connecting block 121, so it rotates relatively around the connecting axis between the moving seat and the connecting block 131.

[0064] See also Figure 4 and Figure 5 , Figure 4 is a three-dimensional diagram of a yaw mechanism provided in one embodiment of the present application, Figure 5 2 is an exploded view of a yaw mechanism provided in one embodiment of the present application.

[0065] Through the above structure, the first hinge 230 is used to connect the roll plate 120 and the yaw plate 210, and the first hinge 230 can drive the roll plate 120 and the yaw plate 210 to open and close by itself. At the same time, the rotation axis of the first hinge 230 is parallel to the yaw axis, and the rotation direction of the yaw plate 210 relative to the roll plate 120 can be limited to the yaw direction.

[0066] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first hinge 230 includes a first fixed blade, a first movable blade, and a first rotating shaft 233. The first fixed blade and the first movable blade are connected through the first rotating shaft 233. The first fixed blade is provided with a plurality of mounting holes to mount the first fixed blade on the roll plate 120. Similarly, the first movable blade is also provided with a plurality of mounting holes to mount the first movable blade on the yaw plate 210. The setting direction of the first rotating shaft 233 is parallel to the y-axis, so that when the first hinge 230 is opened and closed, the yaw plate 210 can be driven to rotate around the y-axis.

[0067] In this embodiment, the yaw mechanism includes two first hinges 230, which are arranged vertically to enhance the connection stability between the roll plate 120 and the yaw plate 210. In other embodiments, the number of the first hinges 230 can be one or more, and is not limited to two in the embodiment of the present application.

[0069] Through the above structure, the two ends of the second drive motor 220 are respectively connected to the roll plate 120 and the yaw plate 210. When the output shaft rotates, it can push the yaw plate 210 to move. In conjunction with the first hinge 230 between the roll plate 120 and the yaw plate 210, the rotation of the output shaft of the second drive motor 220 is converted into the opening and closing movement of the yaw plate 210, thereby realizing the function of the yaw plate 210 rotating relative to the roll plate 120 along the yaw direction.

[0070] Specifically, in this embodiment, the main body of the second drive motor 220 is arranged in a direction parallel to the x-axis, passing through the upper right position of the yaw plate 210 and the pitch plate 310, the output shaft of the second drive motor 220 is connected to the roll plate 120, and the bearing seat of the second drive motor 220 is clamped on the yaw plate 210. When the second drive motor 220 drives the nut to move on the screw rod, the main body of the second drive motor 220 is pushed by the reaction force, and at this time, the yaw plate 210 is restricted by the first hinge 230 and performs yaw rotation around the rotation axis of the first hinge 230.
