Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of quick-installation adjustable-angle vehicle front-view camera assembly technology, specifically a quick-installation adjustable-angle vehicle front-view camera assembly. Background Technology

[0002] The front-view camera for vehicle monitoring is a video recording device used for driving. The installation methods of quick-install adjustable-angle vehicle front-view camera assemblies are mainly divided into two categories: one is to directly stick it to the inside of the car's windshield using adhesive materials such as 3M adhesive; the other is to use suction cup fixation. The existing quick-install adjustable-angle vehicle front-view camera assemblies cannot achieve the requirements of non-destructive quick disassembly and secure installation. Furthermore, the camera angle cannot be adjusted according to actual usage after installation. Therefore, users must accurately position the camera at the desired shooting angle during installation, which increases the installation difficulty for users. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a quick-installation adjustable-angle vehicle front-view camera assembly to address the problems mentioned in the background art. Existing quick-installation adjustable-angle vehicle front-view camera assemblies cannot achieve non-destructive, quick installation and removal while maintaining secure mounting. Furthermore, they cannot adjust the camera angle according to actual usage after installation, thus requiring users to accurately position the camera at the desired angle, increasing installation difficulty. This solution allows for non-destructive installation on the glass, simple and convenient installation and removal, and secure fixation to the glass surface to prevent detachment. It also allows for angle adjustment according to practical needs, further reducing installation difficulty for users; only approximate installation is required, followed by fine-tuning the angle.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a quick-installation adjustable-angle vehicle front-view camera assembly, comprising a housing, a mounting base connected to the top of the housing by screws, a through hole in the middle of the housing, a camera module disposed inside the housing, and one end of the camera module extending through the through hole to the outside of the housing, a dustproof sealing ring fixedly connected to the inner wall of the through hole and fixedly connected to the camera module, an adjustment mechanism for adjusting the angle of the camera module disposed at one end of the housing, and a fixing mechanism for fixing the housing disposed at the top of the housing.

[0005] Preferably, the adjustment mechanism includes an adjustment shell, one end of which is connected to the adjustment shell via a rotating shaft. The camera module is located inside the adjustment shell, one end of which is connected to the adjustment shell via a rotating shaft. A partition plate located at the top of the adjustment shell is fixedly connected to the middle of the outer shell. Adjustment worm gears are fixedly connected to one side of the camera module and one end of the adjustment shell. An adjustment worm is engaged at one end of the adjustment worm gear. One end of one set of adjustment worm gears is connected to the partition plate via a bearing, and one end of another set of adjustment worm gears is connected to the inner wall of the adjustment shell via a bearing. An adjustment hole is provided at one end of the outer shell, and one end of the adjustment worm gear is slidably connected to the adjustment hole. A damping mechanism is provided in the middle of the adjustment worm gear to facilitate user adjustment of the angle of the camera module.

[0006] Preferably, the directions of the two sets of adjusting worm gears are perpendicular to each other, and the directions of the two sets of adjusting worm wheels are perpendicular to each other, so as to facilitate the user to adjust the angle of the horizontal and vertical camera modules.

[0007] Preferably, the center of one set of the adjusting worm gears coincides with the axis of the shaft connecting the camera module and the adjusting housing, and the center of the other set of the adjusting worm gears coincides with the axis of the shaft connecting the outer shell and the adjusting housing, so as to facilitate the user to adjust the angle of the camera module.

[0008] Preferably, the damping mechanism includes a damping box, with a damping box located in the middle of the adjusting worm. Two sets of damping boxes are fixedly connected to the adjusting shell and the partition, respectively. The damping box has symmetrically arranged sliding grooves inside, and a damping block that slidably contacts the adjusting worm is slidably connected inside the sliding groove. One end of the damping block is uniformly fixedly connected to a spring that is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove, thereby increasing the resistance to the rotation of the adjusting worm and preventing it from rotating due to subsequent vibration.

[0009] Preferably, one end of the damping block is an arc shape adapted to the adjusting worm gear to increase the contact area.

[0010] Preferably, the fixing mechanism includes a pressure plate. The top of the outer shell is provided with a pressure plate that is fixedly connected to the mounting base. The pressure plate has uniformly spaced moving grooves inside. One side of the moving groove has uniformly spaced mounting grooves. An airbag is provided inside the mounting groove. Suction cups are uniformly installed at one end of the mounting base, and one end of each suction cup extends through the mounting base into the airbag. A pull plate is slidably connected inside the moving groove. A rotating hole is symmetrically provided in the middle of the pressure plate. A threaded rod is provided in the middle of the rotating hole, and one end of the threaded rod is located on the outside of the outer shell. The threaded rod is connected to the pull plate by threads, which facilitates the user to fix the device to the glass.

[0011] Preferably, the two ends of the airbag are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the pull plate and the mounting groove, respectively, to facilitate the stretching of the airbag.

[0012] Preferably, the airbag is made of an elastic material that can stretch the mounting groove, increase the volume of the mounting groove, and at the same time automatically recover.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: When installing this device on a car's windshield, the user places the suction cup on one side of the mounting base against the glass, ensuring a tight fit. The suction cup itself pre-fixes the housing and mounting base. The user then rotates the two sets of threaded rods, which move the pull plate, pulling the airbag and increasing its volume, thus reducing its internal pressure. This also reduces the internal pressure of the suction cup, allowing it to adhere tightly to the glass under atmospheric pressure, increasing the stability of the housing and mounting base. To remove the device, simply reverse the rotation of the two sets of threaded rods. After securing the housing and mounting base, rotating the two sets of adjusting worm gears in different directions allows for horizontal and vertical adjustment. The adjusting worm gear moves vertically, thereby controlling the angle between the adjusting housing and the camera module, and consequently controlling the horizontal and vertical angles of the camera module, thus controlling the camera module's shooting position. This facilitates non-destructive installation and improves user convenience. The friction between the damping block and the spring on the adjusting worm gear prevents its rotation. Combined with the self-locking property of the adjusting worm gear and the adjusting worm itself, this further prevents the camera module from shaking. This device can be installed on glass without damage, and is simple and convenient to assemble and disassemble. It can also be firmly fixed to the glass surface to prevent it from falling off. At the same time, the angle can be adjusted according to practical needs, further reducing the installation difficulty for users. Only a rough installation is required, followed by fine-tuning of the angle. Attached Figure Description

[0016] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0017] Please see Figures 1-7 One embodiment provided by the present invention: A quick-installing, adjustable-angle vehicle-mounted front-view camera assembly includes a housing 1. A mounting base 2 is connected to the top of the housing 1 by screws. A through hole 3 is provided in the middle of the housing 1. A camera module 4 is disposed inside the housing 1, and one end of the camera module 4 extends through the through hole 3 to the outside of the housing 1. A dustproof sealing ring 5 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the through hole 3 and fixedly connected to the camera module 4. An adjustment mechanism for adjusting the angle of the camera module 4 is provided at one end of the housing 1, and a fixing mechanism for fixing the housing 1 is provided at the top of the housing 1. Please see Figures 2-5In this embodiment, the adjustment mechanism includes an adjustment shell 6. One end of the outer shell 1 is connected to the adjustment shell 6 via a rotating shaft. The camera module 4 is located inside the adjustment shell 6, and one end of the camera module 4 is connected to the adjustment shell 6 via a rotating shaft. A partition 7 located at the top of the adjustment shell 6 is fixedly connected to the middle of the outer shell 1. Adjustment worm gears 8 are fixedly connected to one side of the camera module 4 and one end of the adjustment shell 6. One end of the adjustment worm gear 8 is engaged with an adjustment worm 9. One end of one set of adjustment worm gears 9 is connected to the partition 7 via a bearing, and one end of the other set of adjustment worm gears 9 is connected to the inner wall of the adjustment shell 6 via a bearing. An adjustment hole 14 is provided at one end of the outer shell 1. One end of the adjustment worm gear 9 is slidably connected to the adjustment hole 14. A damping mechanism is provided in the middle of the adjustment worm gear 9 to facilitate the user to adjust the angle of the camera module 4. The directions of the two sets of adjustment worm gears 9 are perpendicular to each other, and the directions of the two sets of adjustment worm gears 8 are perpendicular to each other. The camera module 4 is vertically aligned, allowing users to easily adjust its angle in both horizontal and vertical directions. One set of adjusting worm gears 8 has its center aligned with the axis of the shaft connecting the camera module 4 and the adjusting housing 6. The other set of adjusting worm gears 8 has its center aligned with the axis of the shaft connecting the housing 1 and the adjusting housing 6. When the user rotates the adjusting worm 9, the rotating worm gear 9 drives the adjusting worm gears 8 to rotate. This allows the camera module 4 or the adjusting housing 6 to perform circular motion. Rotating the two sets of adjusting worm gears 9 in different directions moves the adjusting worm gears 8 in both the horizontal and vertical directions, thereby controlling the angle between the adjusting housing 6 and the camera module 4. This, in turn, controls the horizontal and vertical angles of the camera module 4, and thus the shooting position of the camera module 4. This design facilitates non-destructive installation, improves user convenience, and makes it easier for users to adjust the angle of the camera module 4. Please see Figures 3-5 In this embodiment, the damping mechanism includes a damping box 10. The damping box 10 is provided in the middle of the adjusting worm 9. Two sets of damping boxes 10 are fixedly connected to the adjusting shell 6 and the partition plate 7 respectively. The damping box 10 has symmetrically opened sliding grooves 11 inside. The sliding grooves 11 are slidably connected to the damping blocks 12 that are in contact with the adjusting worm 9. One end of the damping block 12 is uniformly fixedly connected to a spring 13 that is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove 11. The damping block 12 is in contact with the surface of the adjusting worm 9 under the elastic action of the spring 13. Therefore, when the user rotates the adjusting worm 9, he will feel resistance, which increases the resistance to the rotation of the adjusting worm 9 and prevents it from rotating due to vibration later. Please see Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7In this embodiment, the fixing mechanism includes a pressure plate 15. The top of the outer shell 1 is provided with a pressure plate 15 that is fixedly connected to the mounting base 2. The pressure plate 15 has uniformly opened moving grooves 16 inside, and a mounting groove 17 is uniformly opened on one side of the moving groove 16. An airbag 19 is provided inside the mounting groove 17. Suction cups 18 are uniformly installed on one end of the mounting base 2, and one end of each suction cup 18 extends through the mounting base 2 into the interior of the airbag 19. A pull plate 20 is slidably connected inside the moving groove 16. A rotating hole 21 is symmetrically opened in the middle of the pressure plate 15. A threaded rod 22 is provided in the middle of the rotating hole 21, and one end of the threaded rod 22 is located on the outside of the outer shell 1. The threaded rod 22 is connected to the pull plate 20 by threads. When the user attaches the suction cup 18 on one side of the mounting base 2 to the glass... This allows the suction cup 18 to fit tightly against the glass. At this point, the suction cup 18 itself will pre-fix the outer shell 1 and the mounting base 2. Then, the user rotates the two sets of threaded rods 22. The rotating threaded rods 22 can pull the pull plate 20 to slide inside the moving groove 16. The moving threaded rods 22 can pull the airbag 19, increasing the volume of the airbag 19 and reducing its internal pressure. At this time, the internal pressure of the suction cup 18 also decreases, and suction force is generated at the position where the suction cup 18 fits against the glass. Under the action of external atmospheric pressure, the suction cup 18 can fit tightly against the glass, thereby increasing the firmness of the outer shell 1 and the mounting base 2. When the user needs to remove it, he only needs to rotate the two sets of threaded rods 22 in the opposite direction, which makes it easy for the user to fix this device to the glass. It should be noted that one end of the damping block 12 is an arc shape that matches the adjusting worm gear 9, increasing the contact area. The two ends of the airbag 19 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the pull plate 20 and the mounting groove 17, respectively, which facilitates the stretching of the airbag 19. The airbag 19 is made of elastic material, which can stretch the mounting groove 17, increase the volume of the mounting groove 17, and at the same time automatically return to its original position.

[0018] Working principle: When the user needs to install this device on the windshield of a car, first clean the glass, then attach the suction cup 18 on one side of the mounting base 2 to the glass, making the suction cup 18 fit tightly against the glass. At this time, the suction cup 18 itself will pre-fix the outer shell 1 and the mounting base 2. Then the user rotates the two sets of threaded rods 22. At this time, the rotating threaded rods 22 can pull the pull plate 20 to slide inside the moving groove 16. The moving threaded rods 22 can pull the airbag 19, making the volume of the airbag 19 increase. This reduces the internal pressure, causing the suction cup 18 to also decrease. The suction cup 18 then adheres tightly to the glass under atmospheric pressure, increasing the stability of the outer casing 1 and the mounting base 2. To remove them, simply reverse the rotation of the two sets of threaded rods 22. After the user has installed and secured the outer casing 1 and mounting base 2, rotating the adjusting worm gear 9 causes the damping block 12 to adhere to the surface of the adjusting worm gear 9 under the elastic action of the spring 13. Therefore, when the user rotates the adjusting worm gear... When the worm gear 9 is turned, resistance will be felt. After the user rotates the adjusting worm gear 9, the rotating adjusting worm gear 9 drives the adjusting worm wheel 8 to rotate. The adjusting worm wheel 8 enables the camera module 4 or the adjusting shell 6 to perform circular motion. By rotating the two sets of adjusting worm gears 9 in different directions, the adjusting worm wheels 8 in the horizontal and vertical directions can be moved, thereby controlling the angle of the adjusting shell 6 and the camera module 4, and thus controlling the horizontal and vertical angles of the camera module 4, controlling the shooting position of the camera module 4. This facilitates non-destructive installation for the user and improves the ease of use. The friction of the adjusting worm gear 9 by the damping block 12 and the spring 13 can prevent the adjusting worm gear 9 from rotating. Combined with the self-locking property of the adjusting worm wheel 8 and the adjusting worm gear 9, it further prevents the camera module 4 from shaking. This device can be installed on glass without damage, and it is simple and convenient to disassemble and assemble. It can also be firmly fixed to the glass surface to prevent it from falling off. At the same time, the angle can be adjusted according to practical needs, which can further reduce the installation difficulty for users. Only a rough installation is required, followed by fine adjustment of the angle.

[0019] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from its spirit or essential characteristics. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as exemplary and non-limiting, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within the present invention.
