The front surface of the camera body 201 is provided with a lens 205, and the surface of the lens 205 is coated with a super-hydrophobic and oleophobic coating to enable rainwater and oil to slide off quickly.

[0035] In this embodiment, when in use, the camera body 201 can be rotated to adjust the angle. When the protective shell 301 is installed on the outside of the camera body 201, the limit block 303 and the limit slot 202 can be correspondingly engaged. By rotating the camera body 201, the engagement relationship between the limit block 303 and the limit slot 202 can be changed. The protective shell 301 is larger than the camera body 201 and has space for the camera body 201 to rotate.

[0037] In this embodiment, when in use, while protecting the lens 205 on the camera body 201, the circuit system inside the camera body 201 also plays a protective role. When the camera body 201 is hit on a bad road, it will cause the camera body 201 to vibrate. At this time, the optical image stabilization module 5 adjusts the position of the lens 205 to keep the image clear. At the same time, through the automatic focus compensation function of the automatic compensation module 6, the camera body 201 can be quickly refocused after being hit to ensure the clarity of the image.

[0038] The method of use and working principle of the device: When in use, the camera body 201 can be rotated to adjust the angle. When the protective shell 301 is installed on the outside of the camera body 201, the limit block 303 and the limit slot 202 can be correspondingly engaged. By rotating the camera body 201, the engagement relationship between the limit block 303 and the limit slot 202 can be changed. The protective shell 301 is larger than the camera body 201 and has space for the camera body 201 to rotate. The protective shell 301 plays a protective role. At this time, by inserting the fastening bolt 103 into the threaded hole 102 and the sliding hole 304, rotating the fastening bolt 103 so that one end of it is against the side of the camera body 201, the camera body 201 and the protective shell 301 are connected. The protective shells 301 are tightly connected to each other, thereby completing the installation of the external protective structure of the camera body 201. By installing the mounting frame 101 at the installation location of the vehicle, the installation of the camera body 201 is completed. Among them, the circuit module 203 arranged inside the camera body 201 is the main structure of the camera body 201 to realize visual photography. A module for protecting the shooting data of the camera body 201 when it is hit is also arranged on the circuit module 203. When in use, the inner protective cover 405 is covered on the outside of the lens 205 to protect the lens 205, and then the outer protective cover 401 is covered on the outside of the inner protective cover 405. The inner protective cover 405 and the outer protective cover 401 are made of high elastic modulus and good Transparent material with good toughness: polycarbonate material. The polycarbonate shell can withstand a certain intensity of impact. When hit by objects such as pebbles, it will not break easily, protecting the internal components. It can undergo elastic deformation when subjected to a certain impact force, and quickly recover to its original shape after the impact force disappears. At the same time, it has excellent optical transparency to ensure that there is no significant impact on the imaging quality of the camera body 201. The shapes of the inner protective cover 405 and the outer protective cover 401 are designed to be convex shapes that match the contour of the lens 205. This shape helps to evenly disperse the impact force to the entire surface of the inner protective cover 405 and the outer protective cover 401, reducing local stress concentration. By setting a rubber ring 403 made of rubber, it can be When an impact occurs, the rubber ring 403 is squeezed first, and absorbs part of the energy through its own compression deformation, thereby reducing the impact force on the inner protective cover 405 and the outer protective cover 401 and protecting them from damage. Silicone oil is filled between the inner protective cover 405 and the outer protective cover 401, which can play an effective damping role. Silicone oil has a higher transparency. Compared with air, its refractive index is different. However, in this application scenario, since it is not in the main imaging optical path, a small amount of refractive difference will not significantly affect the imaging quality. The connection between the outer protective cover 401 and the camera body 201 can be strengthened through the flexible hinge 404. Each connecting belt 4045 is installed alternately in opposite directions.Therefore, the stability of the connection between the first connecting block 4041 and the second connecting block 4043 can be increased. That is to say, one end of the connecting belt 4045 is fixed on the front side of the first fixing groove 4042, and the other end of the connecting belt 4045 is fixed on the back side of the second fixing groove 4044. When in use, while protecting the lens 205 on the camera body 201, the circuit system inside the camera body 201 also plays a protective role. When the camera body 201 is hit on a bad road, it will cause the camera body 201 to vibrate. At this time, the optical image stabilization module 5 adjusts the position of the lens 205 to keep the image clear. At the same time, the automatic focus compensation module 6 is used to adjust the position of the lens 205. The compensation function can quickly refocus the camera body 201 after it is hit. When the camera body 201 is hit, the data generated will be transmitted to the data cache module 7. The data cache module 7 can temporarily store the image data collected during the impact and back up the data. Important data is backed up to the local storage unit of the vehicle camera or backed up to the cloud through the Internet of Vehicles technology. At this time, the self-check module 8 automatically checks the functional status of each module. If a module is found to be faulty, the recovery module 9 will try to automatically recover, recalibrate the position of the lens 205 through the software algorithm, or reset the parameters of the sensor, so that the camera body 201 can return to normal working state as soon as possible.
