Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of vehicles, and in particular to a shielding device and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] A camera is usually installed inside the vehicle. The camera is installed on a shielding device. The shielding device includes an outer cover, a bracket and a sliding cover. The bracket is connected to the inner side of the outer cover, and the camera is connected to the bracket. The outer cover defines a window, and the window is opposite to the lens of the camera. The lens can shoot the interior of the vehicle through the window. The sliding cover is set between the bracket and the outer cover and can slide to close the window and cover the lens, or open the window and reveal the lens.

[0003] In the related art, the outer cover is typically a non-flat structure, comprising a first cover portion and a second cover portion, the first cover portion being connected to the second cover portion, the first cover portion defining a window, and the first cover portion protruding from the inner surface of the second cover portion toward the bracket, or protruding from the outer surface of the second cover portion away from the bracket. This results in the outer cover and the bracket being unable to jointly define a guide groove with a consistent groove width for the sliding cover to slide together. Therefore, an additional guide rail is required between the outer cover and the bracket, and the sliding cover is slidably connected to the guide rail to realize the sliding function of the sliding cover. However, the guide rail occupies a large space between the bracket and the outer cover, resulting in a large overall space occupation of the shielding device and a less compact structure. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, the present invention provides a shielding device and a vehicle, which can reduce the space occupied by the entire shielding device and make the shielding device more compact.

[0005] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present invention provides a shielding device, comprising an outer cover, a bracket, and a sliding cover, wherein the bracket is connected to the inner side of the outer cover, a guide groove is provided between the outer cover and the bracket, and the sliding cover is slidably connected to the guide groove; the guide groove comprises a first sub-guide groove and a second sub-guide groove; the outer cover comprises a first cover portion and a second cover portion, the first cover portion being connected to the second cover portion, and the first cover portion defining a window; The first cover portion is closer to the bracket relative to the second cover portion, the first cover portion and the bracket jointly define a first sub-guide groove, a first guide portion is provided between the second cover portion and the bracket, and the first guide portion defines a second sub-guide groove; or the second cover portion is closer to the bracket relative to the first cover portion, the second cover portion and the bracket jointly define a second sub-guide groove, a first guide portion is provided between the second cover portion and the bracket, and the first guide portion defines the second sub-guide groove; The sliding cover can slide in the first sub-guide groove and the second sub-guide groove respectively to open or close the window.

[0006] The shielding device according to the embodiment of the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects: By arranging a first sub-guide groove between the bracket and the first cover part, and arranging a second sub-guide groove between the bracket and the second cover part, the guide groove between the outer cover and the bracket is divided into a first sub-guide groove and a second sub-guide groove, thereby allowing the first sub-guide groove and the second sub-guide groove to be defined and formed by different structures respectively. By making one of the first sub-guide groove and the second sub-guide groove be defined and formed together with the bracket by the first cover part or the second cover part which is closer to the bracket, correspondingly, the other can be defined and formed by adding a first guide part between the bracket and the second cover part or the first cover part which is farther away from the bracket. Since the spacing between the bracket and the second cover part or the first cover part which is farther away from the bracket is relatively large, even if a first guide part for defining the other one is added in the spacing space, it will not affect the spacing distance between the outer cover and the bracket. Specifically, by making the first cover part relatively close to the bracket to jointly define the first sub-guide groove with the bracket, the surface of the first cover part opposite to the bracket and the surface of the bracket opposite to the first cover part are used to form the groove wall of the first sub-guide groove, and there is no need to additionally set a guide rail structure between the first cover part and the bracket, thereby optimizing the spatial layout between the first cover part and the bracket and reducing material costs. Alternatively, by making the second cover part relatively close to the bracket to jointly define the second sub-guide groove with the bracket, the surface of the second cover part opposite to the bracket and the surface of the bracket opposite to the first cover part are used to form the groove wall of the first sub-guide groove, there is no need to additionally set a guide rail structure between the second cover part and the bracket, thereby optimizing the spatial layout between the second cover part and the bracket and reducing material costs. Therefore, the overall occupied space of the shielding device is reduced, and the structure of the shielding device is more compact.

[0025] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 This is a schematic structural perspective diagram of a shielding device 100 provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 This is a schematic three-dimensional structural diagram of another angle of a shielding device 100 provided in an embodiment of the present invention. The embodiment of the present invention provides a shielding device 100, which is used to install a camera.

[0026] Please combine Figures 3 to 5 , Figure 3 for Figure 1 AA direction cross-sectional diagram, Figure 4 is a cross-sectional view of BB direction 1, Figure 5 1 is a cross-sectional schematic diagram taken along the CC direction. The shielding device 100 includes an outer cover 10, a bracket 20, and a sliding cover 30. The bracket 20 is connected to the inner side of the outer cover 10. A guide groove 101 is provided between the outer cover 10 and the bracket 20. The sliding cover 30 is slidably connected to the guide groove 101. The guide groove 101 includes a first sub-guide groove 1011 and a second sub-guide groove 1012. The outer cover 10 has a first cover portion 11 and a second cover portion 12. The first cover portion 11 is connected to the second cover portion 12, and the first cover portion 11 defines a window 1101.

[0027] The first cover portion 11 is close to the bracket 20 relative to the second cover portion 12, and the first cover portion 11 and the bracket 20 jointly define a first sub-guide groove 1011, and a first guide portion 21 is provided between the second cover portion 12 and the bracket 20, and the first guide portion 21 defines the second sub-guide groove 1012; or, the second cover portion 12 is close to the bracket 20 relative to the first cover portion 11, and the second cover portion 12 and the bracket 20 jointly define the second sub-guide groove 1012, and a first guide portion 21 is provided between the second cover portion 12 and the bracket 20, and the first guide portion 21 defines the second sub-guide groove 1012.

[0028] The sliding cover 30 can slide in the first sub-guide groove 1011 and the second sub-guide groove 1012 respectively to open or close the window 1101 .

[0029] The camera is connected to the bracket 20, and the lens of the camera faces the window 1101. The lens can capture images of the interior of the vehicle through the window 1101. When the sliding cover 30 closes the window 1101, the sliding cover 30 covers the lens; when the sliding cover 30 opens the window 1101, the lens reveals the window 1101.

[0030] The width of the first sub-guide groove 1011 is equal to or approximately equal to the width of the second sub-guide groove 1012 .

[0031] In the embodiment of the present invention, by providing a first sub-guide groove 1011 between the bracket 20 and the first cover portion 11, and providing a second sub-guide groove 1012 between the bracket 20 and the second cover portion 12, the guide groove 101 between the outer cover 10 and the bracket 20 is divided into a first sub-guide groove 1011 and a second sub-guide groove 1012, thereby allowing the first sub-guide groove 1011 and the second sub-guide groove 1012 to be defined by different structures, respectively. By making one of the first sub-guide groove 1011 and the second sub-guide groove 1012 closer to the outer cover portion 12, the guide groove 101 between the outer cover 10 and the bracket 20 is divided into a first sub-guide groove 1011 and a second sub-guide groove 1012. The first cover portion 11 or the second cover portion 12 of the bracket 20 is defined and formed together with the bracket 20. Correspondingly, the other can be defined and formed by adding a first guide portion 21 between the bracket 20 and the second cover portion 12 or the first cover portion 11 which is relatively far away from the bracket 20. Since the spacing between the bracket 20 and the second cover portion 12 or the first cover portion 11 which is relatively far away from the bracket 20 is relatively large, even if the first guide portion 21 for defining the other is added in the spacing space, it will not affect the spacing distance between the outer cover 10 and the bracket 20. Specifically, by making the first cover part 11 relatively close to the bracket 20 to jointly define the first sub-guide groove 1011 with the bracket 20, and utilizing the surfaces of the first cover part 11 opposite to the bracket 20 and the surfaces of the bracket 20 opposite to the first cover part 11 to form the groove walls of the first sub-guide groove 1011, there is no need to additionally set a guide rail structure between the first cover part 11 and the bracket 20, thereby optimizing the spatial layout between the first cover part 11 and the bracket 20 and reducing the material cost, or by making the second cover part 12 relatively close to the bracket 20 to jointly define the second sub-guide groove 1012 with the bracket 20, and utilizing the surfaces of the second cover part 12 opposite to the bracket 20 and the surfaces of the bracket 20 opposite to the first cover part 11 to form the groove walls of the first sub-guide groove 1011, there is no need to additionally set a guide rail structure between the second cover part 12 and the bracket 20, thereby optimizing the spatial layout between the second cover part 12 and the bracket 20 and reducing the material cost, thereby reducing the overall occupied space of the shielding device 100 and making the structure of the shielding device 100 more compact.

[0032] It can be understood that when the first cover portion 11 is close to the bracket 20 relative to the second cover portion 12, the width of the first sub-guide groove 1011 can be designed based on the thickness of the sliding cover 30. The width of the first sub-guide groove 1011 can be equal to the thickness of the sliding cover 30 or slightly larger than the thickness of the sliding cover 30 (for example, the width of the first sub-guide groove 1011 and the thickness of the sliding cover 30 are both 2 mm, or the width of the first sub-guide groove 1011 is 3 mm and the thickness of the sliding cover 30 is 2 mm). In this way, the spatial layout between the first cover portion 11 and the bracket 20 can be optimized to a great extent, making the first cover portion 11 and the bracket 20 more compact. When the second cover portion 12 is close to the bracket 20 relative to the first cover portion 11, the width of the second sub-guide groove 1012 can be designed based on the thickness of the sliding cover 30. The width of the second sub-guide groove 1012 can be equal to the thickness of the sliding cover 30 or slightly larger than the thickness of the sliding cover 30 (for example, the width of the second sub-guide groove 1012 and the thickness of the sliding cover 30 are both 2 mm, or the width of the second sub-guide groove 1012 is 3 mm and the thickness of the sliding cover 30 is 2 mm). In this way, the spatial layout between the first cover portion 11 and the bracket 20 can be optimized to a great extent, making the second cover portion 12 and the bracket 20 more compact.

[0033] In some embodiments, the first guide portion 21 is disposed on the bracket 20 and is an integral structure with the bracket 20 . The first guide portion 21 and the bracket 20 together define the above-mentioned first sub-guide groove 1011 or the second sub-guide groove 1012 .

[0034] In other embodiments, the first guide portion 21 is disposed on the outer cover 10 and is an integral structure with the outer cover 10 . The first guide portion 21 and the bracket 20 together define the first sub-guide groove 1011 or the second sub-guide groove 1012 .

[0035] In other embodiments, the first guide portion 21 is separately provided from the outer cover 10 and the bracket 20 , and the first guide portion 21 itself defines the first sub-guide groove 1011 or the second sub-guide groove 1012 mentioned above.

[0036] Typically, the first cover portion 11 and the second cover portion 12 are connected via a transition cover portion 13, which extends from the first cover portion 11 to the second cover portion 12 in an inclined or arc-shaped manner to reduce the abruptness between the first cover portion 11 and the second cover portion 12. Since the transition cover portion 13 will correspondingly have a portion close to the bracket 20 and another portion away from the bracket 20, the first guide portion 21 extends to the gap between the transition cover portion 13 and the bracket 20, and the first guide portion 21 will cause structural interference to the transition cover portion 13.

[0037] In view of this, please see Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the outer cover 10 further has a transition cover portion 13, which extends from the first cover portion 11 to the second cover portion 12 in an inclined or arc shape. The first sub-guide groove 1011 and the second sub-guide groove 1012 are arranged at intervals along the length direction Y of the sliding cover 30, and the transition cover portion 13 is located between the first sub-guide groove 1011 and the second sub-guide groove 1012. In this way, the transition cover portion 13 can be avoided to prevent the first guide portion 21 from causing structural interference to the transition cover portion 13.

[0038] In other embodiments, the transition cover portion 13 is perpendicular to the first cover portion 11 and the second cover portion 12, and the above-mentioned first guide portion 21 can extend to abut against the transition cover portion 13 to connect the first sub-guide groove 1011 and the second sub-guide groove 1012.

[0039] It can be understood that if the distance between the first sub-guide groove 1011 and the second sub-guide groove 1012 is too large, then in the process of one end of the sliding cover 30 sliding out of the first sub-guide groove 1011 and sliding into the second sub-guide groove 1012, since one end of the sliding cover 30 does not continue to be guided by the first sub-guide groove 1011, and the distance between the transition cover 13 and the bracket 20 is large, one end of the sliding cover 30 may be offset before sliding into the second sub-guide groove 1012, resulting in it being unable to slide smoothly into the second sub-guide groove 1012.

[0040] In view of this, please see Figure 3 and Figure 5 The transition cover portion 13 is provided with a second guide portion 131, which is located between the first sub-guide groove 1011 and the second sub-guide groove 1012, and is opposite to the sliding cover 30 along the thickness direction Z of the sliding cover 30. The second guide portion 131 is used to guide the sliding cover 30 to slide from the first sub-guide groove 1011 into the second sub-guide groove 1012, or from the second sub-guide groove 1012 into the first sub-guide groove 1011. In this way, the smoothness of the sliding cover 30 sliding between the first sub-guide groove 1011 and the second sub-guide groove 1012 can be improved, and the sliding cover 30 can be prevented from getting stuck due to displacement toward the transition cover portion 13 when sliding into the first sub-guide groove 1011 or the second sub-guide groove 1012.

[0041] It is understandable that due to objective factors such as manufacturing tolerances, assembly tolerances, and structural deformation, the sliding cover 30 may become loose after being assembled between the outer cover 10 and the bracket 20, resulting in the sliding cover 30 being unable to maintain any position when sliding in the first sub-guide groove 1011 and the second sub-guide groove 1012. When the vehicle brakes suddenly, shakes, etc., the position of the sliding cover 30 may change, and the user's feel when pulling the sliding cover 30 is also poor, affecting the user experience.

[0042] In view of this, please see Figure 6 , Figure 6 This is a schematic perspective view of the structure of the bracket 20 and the sliding cover 30 provided in an embodiment of the present invention. In some embodiments, the sliding cover 30 includes a cover plate 31 and an elastic damping structure 32. The elastic damping structure 32 is connected to the cover plate 31 and is configured to abut against the walls of the guide slot 101 to maintain the sliding cover 30 in its current position. Through the abutment between the elastic damping structure 32 and the walls of the guide slot 101, the sliding cover 30 can be maintained in any position reached by the user, and the user can feel the damping effect of the elastic damping structure 32, thereby improving the user experience.

[0043] See also Figures 4 to 6 In some embodiments, the first sub-guide groove 1011 and the second sub-guide groove 1012 both have a first sub-groove wall 1013. The first sub-groove wall 1013 of the first sub-guide groove 1011 and the first sub-groove wall 1013 of the second sub-guide groove 1012 extend toward each other and are connected. The first sub-groove wall 1013 is opposite to the sliding cover 30 along the width direction X of the sliding cover 30. The elastic damping structure 32 includes a first elastic damping portion 321. The first elastic damping portion 321 is connected to the cover plate 31. The first elastic damping portion 321 is used to resist the first sub-groove wall 1013 and apply an elastic force to the first sub-groove wall 1013. In this way, a certain damping force can be generated between the sliding cover 30 and the first sub-groove wall 1013, thereby improving the stability of the sliding cover 30 when sliding, so that when the sliding cover 30 is pulled to any position, it can remain in the current position, and the user can also feel the damping feeling during the pulling process.

[0044] In other embodiments, the groove wall has a second sub-groove wall 1014, which is opposite to the sliding cover 30 along the thickness direction Z of the sliding cover 30, and the first sub-guide groove 1011 and the second sub-guide groove 1012 are both provided with a second sub-groove wall 1014, and the elastic damping structure 32 includes a second elastic damping portion 322, and the second elastic damping portion 322 is connected to the cover plate 31, and the second elastic damping portion 322 is used to resist the second sub-groove wall 1014 and apply an elastic force to the second sub-groove wall 1014. In this way, a certain damping force can be generated between the sliding cover 30 and the second sub-groove wall 1014, thereby improving the stability of the sliding cover 30 when sliding, so that when the sliding cover 30 is pulled to any position, it can remain in the current position, and the user can also feel the damping during the pulling process.

[0045] See also Figure 6In some embodiments, the first sub-groove wall 1013 defines a first groove 1015 and a second groove 1016. When the sliding cover 30 closes the window 1101, the first elastic damping portion 321 is plugged into and matched with the first groove 1015. When the sliding cover 30 opens the window 1101, the first elastic damping portion 321 is plugged into and matched with the second groove 1016. In this way, when the sliding cover 30 is in a position to close the window 1101 or a position to open the window 1101, a relatively large external force is required to pull the sliding cover 30, which can improve the holding force of the sliding cover 30 in the position when the window 1101 is closed or opened, and prevent the sliding cover 30 from moving without human pulling.

[0046] In other embodiments, the second sub-groove wall 1014 defines a third groove and a fourth groove. When the sliding cover 30 closes the window 1101, the second elastic damping portion 322 is plugged into and fitted with the third groove. When the sliding cover 30 opens the window 1101, the second elastic damping portion 322 is plugged into and fitted with the second groove 1016. In this way, when the sliding cover 30 is in the position of closing the window 1101 or opening the window 1101, a relatively large external force needs to be applied to pull the sliding cover 30, which can improve the holding force of the sliding cover 30 in the position when closing the window 1101 or opening the window 1101, and prevent the sliding cover 30 from moving without human pulling.

[0047] See also Figure 6 In some embodiments, the first elastic damping portion 321 includes a first connecting arm 3211, a first cantilever 3212 and a first protrusion 3213. The first connecting arm 3211 is connected to the cover plate 31, one end of the first cantilever 3212 is connected to the first connecting arm 3211, and the other end of the first cantilever 3212 is suspended. The first protrusion 3213 is connected to the other end of the first cantilever 3212. The first protrusion 3213 is used to resist the first sub-groove wall 1013. In this way, the other end of the first cantilever 3212 can provide the first protrusion 3213 with an elastic force pointing to the first sub-groove wall 1013, so that the first protrusion 3213 resists the first sub-groove wall 1013, thereby achieving the damping effect of the first elastic damping portion 321. Its structure is simple and the cost is low.

[0048] In other embodiments, the second elastic damping portion 322 includes a second connecting arm 3221, a second cantilever 3222 and a second protrusion 3223, the second connecting arm 3221 is connected to the cover plate 31, one end of the second cantilever 3222 is connected to the second connecting arm 3221, the other end of the second cantilever 3222 is suspended, and the second protrusion 3223 is connected to the other end of the second cantilever 3222, and the second protrusion 3223 is used to resist the second sub-groove wall 1014. In this way, the other end of the second connecting arm 3221 can provide the second protrusion 3223 with an elastic force pointing to the second sub-groove wall 1014, so that the second protrusion 3223 resists the first sub-groove wall 1013, thereby achieving the damping effect of the second elastic damping portion 322, and its structure is simple and the cost is low.

[0049] It is understandable that if the surface of the sliding cover 30 is directly pressed against the groove wall of the guide groove 101 , the contact area between the sliding cover 30 and the groove wall of the guide groove 101 will be larger, and accordingly, a larger sliding friction force will be generated, making it inconvenient for the user to pull the sliding cover 30 .

[0050] In view of this, please see Figures 4 to 6 In some embodiments, the sliding cover 30 includes a cover plate 31 and a limiting structure 33. The limiting structure 33 is connected to the cover plate 31 and is used to abut against the walls of the guide slot 101 and limit the movement of the sliding cover 30 along the width direction X and / or thickness direction Z of the sliding cover 30. The limiting structure 33 can prevent the surface of the cover plate 31 from directly contacting the walls of the guide slot 101, reducing the contact area between the sliding cover 30 and the walls of the guide slot 101, thereby reducing the sliding friction between the sliding cover 30 and the walls of the guide slot 101, making it easier for the user to pull the sliding cover 30. At the same time, the limiting structure 33 can also prevent the sliding cover 30 from shaking along its own width direction X and / or thickness direction Z.

[0051] See also Figures 4 to 6 In some embodiments, the first sub-guide groove 1011 and the second sub-guide groove 1012 both have a first sub-groove wall 1013.

The first limiting portion 331 is connected to the cover plate 31. The first limiting portion 331 is used to abut against the first sub-groove wall 1013 and limit the movement of the sliding cover 30 along the width direction X of the sliding cover 30, that is, to limit the sliding cover 30 from shaking toward the first sub-groove wall 1013. At the same time, the sliding friction between the sliding cover 30 and the first sub-groove wall 1013 can be reduced.

[0052] In other embodiments, the first sub-guide groove 1011 and the second sub-guide groove 1012 both have a second sub-groove wall 1014, the second sub-groove wall 1014 is opposite to the sliding cover 30 along the thickness direction Z of the sliding cover 30, and is located on the side of the sliding cover 30 away from the bracket 20, the limiting structure 33 includes a second limiting portion 332, the second limiting portion 332 is connected to the cover plate 31, the second limiting portion 332 is used to abut against the second sub-groove wall 1014 and limit the movement of the sliding cover 30 along the thickness direction Z of the sliding cover 30, that is, to limit the sliding cover 30 from shaking toward the outer cover 10, and at the same time, the sliding friction between the sliding cover 30 and the second sub-groove wall 1014 can be reduced.

[0053] In which, when the first sub-guide groove 1011 is jointly defined by the first cover part 11 and the bracket 20, the second sub-groove wall 1014 in the first sub-guide groove 1011 is formed on the surface opposite to the first cover part 11 and the bracket 20, and the second sub-groove wall 1014 in the second sub-groove wall 1014 is formed on the surface opposite to the first guide part 21 and the bracket 20. In other embodiments, the first sub-guide groove 1011 and the second sub-guide groove 1012 both have a third sub-groove wall 1017, and the third sub-groove wall 1017 of the first sub-guide groove 1011 and the third sub-groove wall 1017 of the second sub-guide groove 1012 extend toward each other and are connected, the third sub-groove wall 1017 is opposite to the sliding cover 30 along the thickness direction Z of the sliding cover 30, and is located on the side of the sliding cover 30 facing away from the outer cover 10, the limiting structure 33 includes a third limiting portion 333, the third limiting portion 333 is connected to the cover plate 31, the third limiting portion 333 is used to abut against the third sub-groove wall 1017 and limit the movement of the sliding cover 30 along the thickness direction Z of the sliding cover 30, that is, to limit the sliding cover 30 from shaking toward the bracket 20, and at the same time, the sliding friction between the sliding cover 30 and the third sub-groove wall 1017 can be reduced.

[0054] The third sub-groove wall 1017 of the first sub-guide groove 1011 and the third sub-groove wall 1017 of the second sub-guide groove 1012 may both be formed on the surface of the bracket 20 facing the outer cover 10 .

[0055] Combined with the cooperation between the first limiting portion 331 , the second limiting portion 332 and the third limiting portion 333 and the groove wall of the guide groove 101 , the sliding cover 30 can be firmly connected to the guide groove 101 , thereby improving the stability of the sliding cover 30 when sliding.

[0056] See also Figure 6In some embodiments, a first stop portion 22 and a second stop portion 23 are further provided between the outer cover 10 and the bracket 20. The first stop portion 22 is located at one end of the first sub-guide groove 1011 away from the second sub-guide groove 1012. The first stop portion 22 is used to abut against the sliding cover 30 when the sliding cover 30 closes the window 1101, so as to limit the sliding cover 30 from moving in the direction from the second sub-guide groove 1012 to the first sub-guide groove 1011. The second stop portion 23 is located at one end of the second sub-guide groove 1012 away from the first sub-guide groove 1011.
