Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of vehicle-mounted devices, and particularly to a vehicle-mounted monitoring system based on bionic shape design, and more particularly to a system solution integrating the bionic form of multi-limb organisms with the layout of distributed cameras. Background Art
[0002] The existing vehicle-mounted monitoring systems mainly have the following technical problems: Poor coordination between shape and function: Bionic design often serves only as a decorative element and fails to effectively coordinate and optimize with the camera layout and monitoring field of view. Significant monitoring blind spots: Traditional camera layouts (such as independent installation at the front, rear, and sides) are difficult to effectively cover the surrounding of the vehicle, especially the low-altitude areas close to the ground (such as the front side, rear side, and the edge directly below the vehicle), resulting in field of view blind spots. Low structural integration and poor aesthetics: To achieve multi-angle monitoring, multiple independent camera brackets usually need to be installed, which destroys the integrity of the vehicle's appearance. Especially for the retrofitted reverse image camera, its installation position and cables are often exposed, affecting aesthetics. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The present invention aims to provide a bionic shape vehicle-mounted monitoring system to solve the problems pointed out in the above background art. The system includes: Main box body: Designed in the shape of the main body trunk of a bionic organism, with a storage bin inside. Front crossbar and rear crossbar: The ends of the bars are designed in the shape of bionic organism limbs consistent with the styling of the main box body. Monitoring system: Comprising multiple cameras. Mobile terminal processing system: Used for receiving and processing monitoring data.
[0004] The main box body is fixedly installed on the top of the vehicle (such as the roof longitudinal rail) through the front crossbar and the rear crossbar. The cameras of the monitoring system are distributed at specific parts of the bionic shape, including: Head area: A camera is set to dominate the front view of the vehicle; Limb areas (corresponding to the ends of the front and rear crossbars): Paired cameras are set. Among them, the front limb camera irradiates downward and backward of the vehicle, covering the front side area; the rear limb camera irradiates downward and forward of the vehicle, covering the rear side area. The fields of view of the front and rear limb cameras form cross-coverage on the side of the vehicle; Tail area: A camera is set to dominate the rear view of the vehicle.
[0005] Through the coordinated layout of the head, limbs (front and rear) and tail area cameras, especially the cross configuration of the front and rear limb camera fields, the whole area around the vehicle outline can be monitored and covered, effectively eliminating low-altitude blind spots. The monitoring system is connected to a mobile terminal (such as a smart phone) via a wireless communication link (such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 4G / 5G) to achieve real-time transmission and processing of monitoring data.
[0006] The present invention achieves the above object through the following technical solutions: Bionic morphology and function integration system: The bionic modeling covers the characteristic morphology of major biological categories such as vertebrates, arthropods, and mollusks; it is compatible with artistic styles such as natural realism, mechanical structure, and abstract expression; it supports the combined modeling expression of complete organisms or local anatomical features (such as head, limbs, and tail). This design is not only decorative, but its modeling structure (such as head, limb ends, and tail) directly carries and optimizes the layout position and illumination angle of the camera; Omnidirectional monitoring architecture without blind spots: Head camera: single, mainly covers the area directly in front of the vehicle; Front limb cameras: set in pairs at the end of the front crossbar, with the lens facing the rear and lower part of the vehicle, mainly covering the rear and part of the lower side areas on both sides of the vehicle; Rear limb cameras: set in pairs at the end of the rear crossbar, with the lens facing the front and lower part of the vehicle, mainly covering the front and part of the lower side areas on both sides of the vehicle; Rear camera: single, mainly covers the area directly behind the vehicle; Key design: The field of view of the front limb camera and the rear limb camera forms a cross-coverage area on both sides of the vehicle, which effectively eliminates the lateral monitoring blind spot (especially the low-altitude area close to the vehicle body) under the traditional layout, and together with the field of view of the head and rear cameras, forms a full-area monitoring network surrounding the vehicle; Bionic modeling continuity technology: To achieve the overall coordination of the modeling: the cover shape of the crossbar end (limb end) and the main box shape maintain visual continuity on the movement axis (such as the natural extension direction of biological limbs); the surface texture (such as bionic skin, shell, mechanical texture) achieves a gradual effect in the transition from the main box (torso) to the crossbar end (limb end); the hardness change rate of the material constituting the main box and the crossbar (especially the end cover) is controlled within 15% to ensure the coordination and unity of vision and touch.

Detailed implementation mode
[0010] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that the following embodiments are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the protection scope of the present invention.
[0011] Embodiment 1: Shark bionic shape In this embodiment, a naturalistic shark style shape is adopted. Shape design: The main box body (1) is designed as an overall shape of a shark trunk with a dorsal fin and a tail fin; the end of the front cross bar (2) is designed in the shape of a shark pectoral fin; the end of the rear cross bar (3) is designed in the shape of a shark pelvic fin. Layout and function of the monitoring system: In the center of the shark head (the front end of the main box body), a camera is set, and its lens faces directly in front of the vehicle to cover the main forward field of view of the vehicle; on both sides of the end of the front cross bar (2) (i.e., the end of the pectoral fin), a camera is set respectively. The lenses of these two cameras face the lower rear of the vehicle and are used to cover the front areas and the lower side areas on both sides of the vehicle; on both sides of the end of the rear cross bar (3) (i.e., the end of the pelvic fin), a camera is set respectively. The lenses of these two cameras face the lower front of the vehicle and are used to cover the rear areas and the lower side areas on both sides of the vehicle; in the center of the shark tail fin (the rear end of the main box body), a camera is set, and its lens faces directly behind the vehicle to cover the main rearward field of view of the vehicle. Effect: The cameras on the front cross bar (pectoral fin) and the rear cross bar (pelvic fin) have overlapping coverage in the fields of view on both sides of the vehicle (as shown in Figure 3 ), completely eliminating the blind spots on the side of the vehicle (especially the low-altitude area near the wheels), and jointly realizing 360° dead-angle-free monitoring with the cameras on the head and tail.
[0012] Embodiment 2: Bear mechanical bionic shape In this embodiment, a mechanical structuralist style shape of a bear is adopted. Shape design: The main box body (1) is designed as an overall shape including the head, trunk and tail of a mechanical bear; the end of the front cross bar (2) is designed in the shape of a mechanical bear's front paw; the end of the rear cross bar (3) is designed in the shape of a mechanical bear's rear paw. Monitoring System Layout and Functions: At the center of the head of the mechanical bear (the front end of the main box), a camera is installed, with its lens facing directly forward of the vehicle; on both sides of the end of the front crossbar (2) (i.e., the end of the mechanical front paw), a camera is installed on each side, with the lens facing the lower rear of the vehicle; on both sides of the end of the rear crossbar (3) (i.e., the end of the mechanical rear paw), a camera is installed on each side, with the lens facing the lower front of the vehicle; at the center of the tail of the mechanical bear (the rear end of the main box), a camera is installed, with its lens facing directly rearward of the vehicle. Effect: Similar to Embodiment 1, the fields of view of the cameras at the ends of the front paw and the rear paw intersect and merge on the side of the vehicle. Combining the cameras on the head and the tail, effective monitoring coverage of the entire area of the vehicle contour is achieved. The entire system naturally integrates the cameras at the ends of the "limbs" through a bionic mechanical shape, with a compact structure and a coordinated and unified appearance.
