[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle-mounted cameras, and in particular to bracket assemblies, window glass devices, and vehicles. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of intelligent driving, many manufacturers will install camera components in vehicles to monitor the surrounding conditions of the vehicle, so as to provide certain assistance in scenarios such as parking, driving and monitoring.

[0003] In related technologies, camera components are typically mounted on glass and protected by a cover bracket. Generally, the light-shielding layer on the cover bracket is covered by methods such as spraying or flocking. Due to the high-temperature working environment, substances may precipitate in the cover area and cover the glass surface of the cover area, thereby affecting the imaging effect of the camera component and even affecting the working performance of the camera component, thus affecting the normal operation of the vehicle. Summary of the Invention

[0012] In one embodiment, the ridge strips are provided as at least two, and the at least two ridge strips are arranged sequentially along the width direction of the cover.

[0013] In one embodiment, the cover has a first side and a second side opposite to each other along its length; both the first side and the second side are connected to the support member; the first opening is located from the middle of the cover to the second side; the protrusion is located from the middle of the cover to the second side.

[0014] In one embodiment, the side of the cover facing the support member has a velvet structure; the velvet structure is disposed within the field of view.

[0015] In one embodiment, the cover has a second opening for insertion and engagement with a camera component; the second opening is located on one side of the cover along its length, and the first opening is located on the side of the cover away from the second opening.

[0016] In one embodiment, the negative pressure assembly includes a negative pressure component and a duct assembly; the negative pressure component has an air inlet side and an air outlet side; the duct assembly is connected between the air inlet side and the first opening, so that the air volume from the field of view can be output to the air outlet side through the air inlet side.

[0017] In one embodiment, the duct assembly includes a first pipe and a second pipe; the first pipe is connected to the second pipe and is arranged at an angle; the first pipe is connected to the air inlet side, and the second pipe is connected to the first opening.

[0018] In one embodiment, the support assembly further includes a conductive element and a control element; the control element is electrically connected to the negative pressure component via the conductive element.

[0019] And / or, the negative pressure component is a fan.

[0020] In one embodiment, the bracket assembly includes a protective component; the protective component is connected between the carrier and the camera component; and a mounting cavity is formed between the protective component and the carrier; the camera component is disposed within the mounting cavity.

[0021] In one embodiment, the protection component includes a mounting plate and a support member; the mounting plate is used to connect to the camera component; the mounting plate and the support member are spaced apart, and the mounting cavity is disposed between the mounting plate and the support member; the support member is disposed between the mounting plate and the support member.

[0022] The number of the support members is set to at least two; the at least two adjacent support members are spaced apart, so that a light-transmitting part is formed between the two adjacent support members, and the light-transmitting part is used to cooperate with the camera component to transmit light.

[0023] According to a second aspect of this application, a vehicle window glass device is provided, characterized in that it includes a camera assembly, a glass body, and a bracket assembly as described in the above embodiments, wherein two opposing sides of the support member along the thickness direction are respectively connected to the glass body and the cover; the camera assembly is provided with a photographic section; and at least a portion of the glass body is capable of transmitting light with the photographic section.

[0027] Specifically, when the cover is subjected to high temperature and other conditions that cause impurities to precipitate, impurities generated in the field of view enter the imaging part of the camera component. Since the impurities on the camera component can enter the field of view, when the negative pressure component provides negative pressure to the field of view, a conveying path can be formed from the field of view to the negative pressure component through the first opening. This allows the impurities to be discharged outside the field of view, avoiding imaging interference with the camera component, ensuring the working performance of the camera component, and improving the accuracy of driving assistance.

[0028] In addition, by setting the first opening, on the one hand, it is beneficial to concentrate the airflow more at the first opening, thereby improving the efficiency of removing impurities; on the other hand, it is beneficial to increase the airflow pressure in the area of ​​the first opening, thereby increasing the pressure difference in the field of view, which in turn is beneficial to improving the airflow removal efficiency and the impurity removal efficiency.

Detailed Implementation

[0035] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this application. However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0036] One aspect of this application is referenced in [reference]. Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a vehicle window glass device is provided, including a bracket assembly 100 and a camera assembly 200. Specifically, the bracket assembly 100 includes a support member 110, a cover 120, and a negative pressure assembly 130. The bracket assembly 100 is used to attach the camera assembly 200, which is disposed on the inside of the vehicle window, to the window.

[0037] The cover 120 protrudes inward from the support member 110 and defines the field of view 120a of the camera assembly 200. The cover 120 is provided with a first opening 121. The first opening 121 communicates with the field of view 120a.

[0038] The negative pressure assembly 130 is connected to the field of view space 120a through the first opening 121 to provide negative pressure to the field of view space 120a.

[0039] Understandably, the cover 120 can reduce light leakage, thereby improving the imaging quality of the camera assembly 200. Furthermore, a field of view space 120a exists between the cover 120 and the support member 110, allowing the cover 120 to be installed within the field of view space 120a.

[0040] Specifically, when the cover 120 is subjected to high temperature and other conditions that cause impurities to precipitate, the impurities generated in the field of view 120a enter the imaging section 200a of the camera assembly 200. Since the impurities on the camera assembly 200 can enter the field of view 120a, when the negative pressure assembly 130 provides negative pressure to the field of view 120a, a conveying path can be formed for the field of view 120a to be discharged to the negative pressure assembly 130 through the first opening 121. This allows the impurities to be discharged outside the field of view 120a, avoiding imaging interference to the camera assembly 200, ensuring the working performance of the camera assembly 200, and improving the accuracy of driving assistance.

[0041] Furthermore, by setting the first opening 121, on the one hand, it is beneficial for the airflow to be more concentrated in the first opening 121, thereby improving the efficiency of impurity removal; on the other hand, it is beneficial for increasing the airflow pressure in the area of ​​the first opening 121, thereby increasing the pressure difference in the field of view space 120a, which in turn is beneficial for improving the airflow removal efficiency and impurity removal efficiency.

[0042] It should be noted that the inner side of the window refers to the side of the window closest to the driver's cabin, with the vehicle as the reference point. Correspondingly, the side of the window away from the driver's cabin is the outer side of the window, and the outer side of the window is also the outer side of the vehicle.

[0043] It should be noted that the connection method between the cover 120 and the carrier 110 can be, but is not limited to, bonding, snap-fitting, etc., or it can be a non-removable connection method such as integral molding or welding.

[0044] In one example, the cover 120 and the carrier 110 are integrally formed. This improves the connection stability between the cover 120 and the carrier 110, preventing the cover 120 and the carrier 110 from separating due to vehicle bumps.

[0045] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the vehicle window glass assembly also includes a glass body 300. The camera assembly 200 is provided with a camera section 200a, and at least a portion of the glass body 300 is capable of transmitting light in conjunction with the camera section 200a.

[0046] In another embodiment, the side of the cover 120 facing the support member 110 is provided with a velvet structure. The velvet structure is disposed within the field of view space 120a.

[0047] Understandably, the velvety surface structure enhances the light-blocking effect of the cover 120 and reduces light reflection and refraction, preventing the formation of messy light spots within the field of view 120a, thereby improving the clarity and quality of the images captured by the camera component 200. However, as the illumination time increases, some lint may fall off the velvety surface structure, potentially affecting the imaging effect of the camera component 200 within the field of view 120a. The negative pressure component 130 effectively adsorbs lint and other impurities, ensuring optimal imaging performance.

[0048] It should be noted that the negative pressure component 130 can be an air pump component, a fan component, etc. Furthermore, the glass body 300 can be a rear windshield or a front windshield, etc. In one example, the glass body 300 is a front windshield.

[0049] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 As shown, a second opening 122 is formed between the cover 120 and the support member 110. The second opening 122 is used for insertion and mating with the camera assembly 200. This improves the installation efficiency of the camera assembly 200 and the cover 120, and the structure is simple and easy to set up, which helps to reduce the processing cost of the bracket assembly 100.

[0050] Furthermore, optionally, see you later. Figure 3 The bracket assembly 100 also includes a seal 140. The seal 140 is disposed on the imaging section 200a of the camera assembly 200. In this way, the seal 140 can effectively prevent external dust and other impurities from entering the imaging section 200a of the camera assembly 200, thus ensuring the imaging effect.

[0051] In one implementation, see back Figure 2 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 The second opening 122 is located on one side of the cover 120 along its own length direction X, and the first opening 121 is located on the side of the cover 120 away from the second opening 122.

[0052] Specifically, the cover 120 has a first side 1201 and a second side 1202 along its length direction X. The second side 1202 is connected to the support member 110. The distance between the first opening 121 and the first side 1201 is less than the distance between the first opening 121 and the second side 1202.

[0053] Thus, the first opening 121 is positioned closer to the second side 1202, causing the airflow path within the viewing space 120a in the cover 120 to be more inclined from the first side 1201 to the second side 1202. This guides impurities to concentrate and be quickly discharged along the airflow direction, reducing the risk of stagnation and accumulation. Furthermore, by offsetting the first opening 121 near the second side 1202, the transmission distance of impurities from the second side 1202 to the first opening 121 is effectively shortened, reducing airflow resistance and improving impurity migration efficiency.

[0054] In one example, see back Figure 2 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 The glass body 300 and the support member 110 are at least partially stacked. The length direction X of the cover 120 is parallel to the length direction of the glass body 300.

[0055] Thus, when the glass body 300 is installed, the length direction of the glass body 300 can have a component force direction in the gravity direction G. That is, when the bearing member 110 drives the guide member to be installed on the glass body 300, the direction from the first side 1201 to the second side 1202 has a component force direction in the gravity direction G. At this time, impurities are more likely to move towards the area of ​​the first opening 121 under the combined action of gravity and airflow, further improving the impurity removal efficiency.

[0056] Additionally, in one embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the cover 120 is provided with a sloped structure 123. The sloped structure 123 is disposed between the first side 1201 and the second side 1202. Along the direction from the first side 1201 to the second side 1202, the distance between the sloped structure 123 and the support member 110 gradually decreases. In this way, the sloped structure 123 can guide the airflow to transition smoothly, reduce turbulence generation, and further optimize the aerodynamic performance within the field of view space 120a. Specifically, when external impurities slide along the slope with the airflow, they can flow into the area of ​​the first opening 121, avoiding accumulation on the sloped structure 123, which helps to improve the cleaning efficiency of impurities, thereby ensuring the working stability of the camera assembly 200.

[0057] Optionally, to improve airflow guiding efficiency, in one embodiment, see back Figure 3 A raised strip 124 is provided on the outer side of the cover 120 facing the window. The raised strip 124 extends in a first direction. The first direction is at an angle to the width direction Y of the cover 120.

[0058] Thus, the ridge 124 can guide the airflow, causing it to accelerate along its extension direction. This further reduces the probability of vortices being generated due to the airflow in the width direction Y colliding with the airflow in the length direction X, thereby improving the directionality and stability of the airflow within the field of view 120a and increasing the airflow guiding efficiency. Furthermore, the ridge 124 structure can enhance the structural strength of the cover 120, reducing the risk of breakage due to long-term vibration.

[0059] Similarly, in yet another embodiment, see back Figure 3 At least a portion of the protrusion 124 extends along a direction perpendicular to the opening edge of the first opening 121.

[0060] Thus, the protrusion 124 and the edge of the first opening 121 form a flow-guiding barrier, further constraining the airflow path and preventing impurities from generating eddies near the opening due to airflow resistance. Simultaneously, the protrusion 124 in this extending direction can guide particles adhering to the inner wall of the cover 120 along a predetermined trajectory to the first opening 121, improving the accuracy of impurity removal. Furthermore, the structure of the protrusion 124 can enhance the structural strength of the cover 120, reducing cracks caused by long-term vibration.

[0061] The opening edge of the first opening 121 refers to the connection position that can be used to define the opening position of the first opening 121.

[0062] In one embodiment, see back Figure 3 The protrusion 124 includes a first segment 124a and a second segment 124b connected to each other. The first segment 124a extends along the length direction X. The second segment 124b extends along a direction perpendicular to the opening edge of the first opening 121.

[0063] Thus, the arrangement of the first segment 124a and the second segment 124b allows the protrusion 124 to guide the airflow in both the length direction X and the direction perpendicular to the orifice. Specifically, the airflow accelerates along the length direction X under the guidance of the first segment 124a, and then, under the influence of the second segment 124b, is redirected and concentrated towards the first opening 121, improving impurity transport efficiency. In one example scenario, the first segment 124a and the second segment 124b are arranged at an angle, causing the protrusion 124 to bend, which enhances local stiffness, suppresses vibration deformation, and further ensures the structural stability of the cover 120 under complex working conditions.

[0064] In conjunction with any of the above embodiments of the protrusion 124, see back Figure 3 At least two protrusions 124 are arranged sequentially along the width direction Y of the cover 120. In this way, the arrangement of multiple protrusions 124 helps to improve the efficiency of airflow guidance, so that the airflow gradually accelerates and flows stably towards the area of ​​the first opening 121 as it passes through the gaps between different protrusions 124.

[0065] In other embodiments, at least two protrusions 124 are arranged sequentially around the circumference of the first opening 121. One end of the protrusion 124 extends to the edge of the first opening 121, and the other end of the protrusion extends radially away from the first opening.

[0066] Thus, by sequentially arranging at least two protrusions 124 around the circumference of the first opening 121, airflow can be directed circumferentially to the first opening 121, improving airflow splitting speed and output efficiency. Furthermore, one end of the protrusion 124 extends to the edge of the first opening 121, while the other end extends radially away from the first opening, which helps to lengthen the airflow guiding path, thereby improving the accuracy of airflow guidance.

[0067] In another embodiment, see back Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 The cover 120 has a first side 1201 and a second side 1202 arranged opposite each other along its length X. Both the first side 1201 and the second side 1202 are connected to the support member 110. The first opening 121 is located from the middle of the cover 120 to the second side 1202. A protruding rib 124 is located from the middle of the cover 120 to the second side 1202. That is, the distance between the protruding rib 124 and the second side 1202 is less than the distance between the protruding rib 124 and the first side 1201. Thus, the closer the protruding rib 124 is to the second side 1202, it can effectively guide the airflow towards the area of ​​the first opening 121, enhance the uniformity of airflow guidance, and shorten the sliding path of particulate matter, thereby improving the efficiency of impurity discharge.

[0068] In conjunction with any embodiment of the negative pressure component 130 described above, see back Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 The negative pressure assembly 130 includes a negative pressure component 131 and a duct assembly 132. The negative pressure component 131 has an air inlet side 1311 and an air outlet side 1312. The duct assembly 132 is connected between the air inlet side 1311 and the first opening 121, so that the airflow from the viewing space 120a can be output to the air outlet side 1312 through the air inlet side 1311. In this way, the arrangement of the duct assembly 132 helps to extend the connection distance between the viewing space 120a and the negative pressure component 131, adapts to different layout requirements, and reduces the influence of the external environment on the negative pressure adsorption during airflow transmission.

[0069] Among them, the negative pressure component 131 can be a miniature fan or vacuum pump, which can be flexibly selected according to the actual space layout and airflow requirements.

[0070] In one embodiment, the negative pressure component 131 is a fan. When the fan is used as the negative pressure component 131, it has advantages such as compact structure, low power consumption, and low noise, making it suitable for scenarios with limited space and high energy efficiency requirements. By properly matching the fan speed, a stable airflow within the field of view 120a can be effectively maintained, improving the efficiency of impurity removal.

[0071] In yet another embodiment, see back Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 The duct assembly 132 includes a first pipe 1321 and a second pipe 1322. The first pipe 1321 and the second pipe 1322 are connected and arranged at an angle. The first pipe 1321 is connected to the air inlet side 1311, and the second pipe 1322 is connected to the first opening 121. In this way, the first pipe 1321 and the second pipe 1322 are arranged at a certain angle, which reduces the spatial layout burden in the length direction X and facilitates flexible pipe laying.

[0072] In some embodiments, see back Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 The support assembly 100 also includes a conductive element 150 and a control element 160. The control element 160 is electrically connected to the negative pressure component 130 through the conductive element 150. The conductive element 150 can be a conductor capable of electrical conduction, such as an electric wire or an electric sheet.

[0073] Specifically, in one example, the control unit 160 is configured to send a control signal to the negative pressure component 130 according to a preset logic to regulate the working state of the negative pressure component 130, realize the start-up, shutdown or speed regulation of the negative pressure component 130, and thus accurately adapt to the impurity removal requirements under different working conditions.

[0074] In one example scenario, the controller 160 can communicate with the vehicle's start signal. When the vehicle starts, the controller 160 automatically outputs a start command to the negative pressure assembly 130, which then starts and begins to draw airflow, ensuring that the area around the camera assembly 200 is continuously clean from the initial stage of vehicle operation. When the vehicle is turned off, the controller 160 receives a stop signal and delays for a certain period of time before shutting down the negative pressure assembly 130 to remove residual impurities and ensure the continuity of system cleaning. This delay control strategy balances energy efficiency and cleaning effectiveness, avoiding dust retention problems caused by immediate power outages.

[0075] In another embodiment, see back Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 The negative pressure component 130 also includes a protective housing, which has a perforated portion that communicates with and engages with the air outlet side. The protective housing covers the negative pressure component 131. In this way, the protective housing can protect the negative pressure component 131 and prevent interference from external foreign objects.

[0076] In conjunction with any embodiment of the above-described carrier 110, see back Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 4 The bracket assembly 100 includes a protective component 170. The protective component 170 is connected between the support member 110 and the camera component 200. A mounting cavity 170a is formed between the protective component 170 and the support member 110. The camera component 200 is disposed within the mounting cavity 170a.

[0077] Thus, by connecting the protective component 170 between the carrier 110 and the camera component 200, and simultaneously connecting the camera component 200 to the cover 120, the number of connection points between the camera component 200 and the bracket assembly 100 is increased, which in turn helps to improve the installation stability of the camera component 200. Furthermore, the setting of the mounting cavity 170a enhances the protective performance of the camera component 200, providing a certain degree of protection against the impact of external obstacles, thereby providing better protection for the camera component 200 and improving the working stability of the camera component 200.

[0078] Optionally, in one embodiment, the protection component 170 includes a mounting plate 171 and a support member 172. The number of support members 172 is set to at least two. The mounting plate 171 is used to connect to the camera component 200, and the mounting plate 171 and the carrier member 110 form a mounting cavity 170a through a mating fit. The support member 172 is disposed between the mounting plate 171 and the carrier member 110.

[0079] Thus, the mounting plate 171 provides inner protection for the camera assembly 200, thereby improving the operational stability of the camera assembly 200.

[0080] Furthermore, at least two adjacent support members 172 are spaced apart, such that a light-transmitting portion 170b is formed between the two adjacent support members 172, and the light-transmitting portion 170b is used to cooperate with the camera assembly 200 in transmitting light.

[0081] Thus, the at least two spaced support members 172 not only improve the connection strength and structural stability of the carrier member 110 and the mounting plate 171, but also ensure that the field of view of the camera assembly 200 is not obstructed by the design of the light-transmitting part 170b, thus guaranteeing the imaging performance of the camera assembly 200.

[0082] It should be noted that at least a portion of the camera assembly 200 and the light-transmitting portion 170b are configured to transmit light. This means that at least a portion of the camera assembly 200 and the light-transmitting portion 170b can form a light transmission path, allowing light to enter the imaging portion 200a of the camera assembly 200 through the light-transmitting portion 170b.

[0083] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 As shown, the support member 110 includes at least four support members 172. At least two support members 172 are arranged on the same side and are named the first support member 1721. The other support members 172 are arranged on the same side and are named the second support member 1722.

[0084] The first support member 1721 and the second support member 1722 are arranged sequentially and adjacently along the length direction X or width direction Y of the cover 120. The distance between the second support member 1722 and the cover 120 is less than the distance between the first support member 1721 and the cover 120. That is, the second support member 1722 is positioned close to the cover 120. A third opening is formed between two adjacent first support members 1721, which is the light-transmitting part 170b. A fourth opening is formed between two adjacent second support members 1722. The fourth opening communicates with the viewing space 120a. The spacing between the third openings is greater than the spacing between the fourth openings.

[0085] Thus, the large spacing between the third openings creates a larger area for the light-transmitting portion 170b, thereby increasing the amount of light entering the imaging component 200 and improving the imaging effect. Furthermore, the smaller spacing between the fourth openings allows airflow to be concentrated and directed into the field of view 120a, increasing the airflow speed and thus improving the efficiency of debris removal.

[0086] To improve the aesthetics of the vehicle window glass assembly, in some embodiments, see back Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 The glass body 300 has a light-transmitting area and a light-shielding area 310 surrounding the light-transmitting area. At least a portion of the cover 120 overlaps with the light-shielding area 310 along the thickness direction Z of the glass body 300, such that the light-shielding area 310 covers the first opening 121 along the thickness direction Z.

[0087] Thus, the light-shielding area 310 is relatively concealed, and at least part of the cover 120 is located in the light-shielding area 310. On the one hand, this reduces the impact of the cover 120 on the light transmission performance of the glass body 300, ensuring the appearance performance of the vehicle window glass device. On the other hand, it effectively blocks external stray light from entering the first opening 121 from the light-shielding area 310, thereby preventing it from entering the camera component 200 and ensuring the imaging performance of the camera component 200.

[0088] In one example, the light-shielding area 310 can be the black border setting corresponding to the glass body 300.

[0089] In another aspect, this application provides a vehicle, including a body and the window glass device described in the above embodiments, the window glass device being mounted on the vehicle body. Thus, the arrangement of the window glass device in the above embodiments helps to improve the imaging performance of the camera assembly 200, thereby providing better intelligent assistance for the vehicle.

[0090] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
