The lower part of the mounting crossbeam 1 is slidably provided with two left and right opposite mounting rods 2 perpendicular to the mounting crossbeam 1. The upper parts of the two mounting rods 2 are provided with mounting plates 4. A camera capture device 5 is installed on one of the mounting plates 4. The camera capture device 5 is suitable for corresponding to the main driving position of the driving vehicle. An integrated processing unit 6 is installed on the other mounting plate 4. The integrated processing unit 6 is provided with a main laser radar 13; the integrated processing unit 6 is used to The information collected by the camera capture device 5 and the main laser radar 13 is processed and transmitted to the control console of the driving vehicle, which can be an autonomous driving vehicle or a semi-autonomous driving vehicle; the upper part of the mounting beam 1 is rotatably provided with two left and right opposite screw rods 7, which are driven to rotate by a power output assembly 8, and the power output assembly 8 is arranged in the middle of the mounting beam 1; the two screw rods 7 are threadedly connected with an alignment rod 3 that slides on the mounting beam 1; the first end of the alignment rod 3 is used for threaded connection with the screw rod 7, and the second end of the alignment rod 3 is a clamping end 31, and the shape of the clamping end 31 is arc-shaped, and the clamping end 31 is suitable for corresponding to the side position of the roof corresponding to the top of the B-pillar of the driving vehicle.

[0030] Working principle: When in use, the automatic driving data acquisition and processing device needs to be installed on the roof of the driving vehicle for use. First, place the installation beam 1 on the roof, and the clamping ends 31 of the two alignment rods 3 correspond to the B-pillars on both sides of the vehicle respectively. Then control the power output assembly 8 to drive the two screw rods 7 to rotate, and drive the two alignment rods 3 to approach each other through the screw rods 7. The clamping ends 31 on the two alignment rods 3 are respectively clamped on the corresponding roof sides above the B-pillars on both sides of the vehicle, so as to realize the basic positioning of the automatic driving data acquisition and processing device according to different sizes of vehicle models to avoid the device being too large and unfit. In addition, the two installation rods 2 can be slid along the installation beam 1 to adjust the camera capture device 5 and the main laser radar 13 on the integrated processing unit 6 to the top of the roof, and then fix them. It can also adapt to vehicle models of different sizes to avoid a large difference between the information collected by the camera capture device 5 and the main laser radar 13 and the information actually passed by the vehicle during driving; the camera capture device 5 is used to capture color or black and white images, identify traffic signs, lane lines, pedestrians, vehicles and other objects, and judge visual information such as the status of traffic lights and road conditions; and the main laser radar 13 uses sound waves to monitor road conditions. The information collected by the camera capture device 5 and the main laser radar 13 will be processed by the integrated processing unit 6 and transmitted to the control console of the driving vehicle. In summary, the automatic driving data acquisition and processing device is adjusted by corresponding to the B-pillar to adapt to different types of driving vehicles, so that it is convenient to be installed on the roof for automatic driving data acquisition and processing.

The camera 94 is smaller than the video capture device 5, and the video capture device 5 is used for main video capture.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, it also includes: a suction cup 21, on which the mounting rod 2 is slidably provided with the suction cup 21, and the suction cup 21 is used to assist the mounting rod 2 in positioning and installation.
