[0002] The monocular camera in ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) is a type of vehicle-mounted camera that assists driving by capturing images through a single camera. This type of camera is still the mainstream choice in autonomous driving below L3 level due to its low cost and computing power requirements. In order to ensure that the cameras can work stably and provide accurate visual information, they need to be firmly mounted in specific locations on the vehicle.

[0003] After searching, the ADAS monocular camera disclosed in the utility model patent with Chinese patent publication number CN218959020U includes a host, a camera module, and a decorative cover. The host includes an upper shell, a lower shell, a switch and a wiring harness. The wiring harness is located inside the decorative cover, and the top of the wiring harness is located between the upper shell and the lower shell. The camera module includes a camera bracket, a back cover, a camera, a front frame and a camera circuit. The ADAS monocular camera adopts a new type of high-sensitivity wide dynamic image sensor. The camera module recognizes and transmits the current road conditions of the car. After transmitting it to the host of the car dashboard, the host compares the current driving conditions of the car, calculates the code, and thus recognizes the possible deviation of the car, and uses the speaker voice alarm to achieve the function of lane deviation driving warning, assisting the driver to maintain the lane and assisting the driver to maintain the distance between the car and avoid traffic accidents caused by deviation from the lane or close distance between the car and the driver.

[0004] In the prior art, ADAS monocular cameras similar to those described in the above utility model patents are usually fixed by special brackets or bases. ADAS monocular cameras can be attached to the front and rear windshields, side windows, instrument panels or center consoles, and the front or rear of the car by screws or double-sided tapes. This results in the ADAS monocular camera and the bracket or base being often integrated or closely connected, making the entire installation process relatively cumbersome. Considering that the ADAS monocular camera needs to be cleaned, maintained, and possibly repaired regularly, the complex installation structure not only brings inconvenience to daily maintenance, but also may increase the difficulty of operation during the disassembly process. Therefore, a monocular camera that is easy to install is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0024] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0025] See also Figure 1-4 In this embodiment, a monocular camera that is easy to install includes a fixed base plate 1, two double-sided adhesive tapes 2 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the fixed base plate 1, two supports 3 are fixedly installed at the top of the fixed base plate 1, an angle adjustment mechanism 4 is arranged between the two supports 3, and a monocular camera installation mechanism 5 is arranged at the top of the angle adjustment mechanism 4;

[0026] The monocular camera mounting mechanism 5 includes a fixed base 501, a limiting inner cavity 502, a fixed plate 503, a connecting plate 504, a fixed socket 505, a fixed plug rod 506, a spring 507, an arc-shaped top plate 508, a limiting bottom plate 509, a stabilizing axis 510 and a monocular camera body 511. The top of the angle adjustment mechanism 4 is provided with a fixed base 501, and three limiting inner cavities 502 are opened inside the fixed base 501. The top of the fixed base 501 is movably installed with a fixed plate 503, and the fixed plate 503 A connecting plate 504 is fixedly installed on the bottom, a fixed socket 505 is fixedly installed on the left side of the connecting plate 504, a fixed plug rod 506 is fixedly installed on the inner left wall of the limiting inner cavity 502, a spring 507 is fixedly installed on the inner right wall of the limiting inner cavity 502, an arc-shaped top plate 508 is fixedly installed on the outside of the spring 507, a limiting bottom plate 509 is fixedly installed inside the limiting inner cavity 502, a stabilizing axis 510 is fixedly installed inside the limiting inner cavity 502, and a monocular camera body 511 is fixedly installed on the top of the fixed plate 503.

[0027] Specifically, the angle adjustment mechanism 4 composed of the rotating shaft 401, the rotating cylinder 402, the adjusting dial 403, the fixing cylinder 404, the pulling rod 405, the tension spring 406 and the adjusting plug rod 407 is convenient for adjusting the angle of the monocular camera body 511. The pulling rod 405 is pulled upward to disengage the adjusting plug rod 407 from the plug hole provided on the outer surface of the adjusting dial 403, and the angle of the monocular camera body 511 can be adjusted by pushing the monocular camera body 511 forward and backward. After the adjustment is completed, the pulling rod 405 is released to re-plug the adjusting plug rod 407 into the plug hole provided on the outer surface of the adjusting dial 403, and the angle of the monocular camera body 511 is limited and fixed.

Under the action of the spring 507, the arc-shaped top plate 508 pushes the connecting plate 504 to move to the left, so that the fixed socket 505 is plugged into the fixed plug rod 506, so that the monocular camera body 511 can be quickly and conveniently fixed. When disassembly is required, the process The device is also very simple, and is convenient for regular cleaning, maintenance and possible repair of the monocular camera body 511, which solves the problem that ADAS monocular cameras usually use special brackets or bases to fix them. ADAS monocular cameras can be adhered to the front and rear windshields, side windows, dashboards or center consoles, and the front or rear of the car by screws or double-sided tape. This results in the ADAS monocular camera and the bracket or base often being an integrated design or closely connected, making the entire installation process relatively cumbersome. Considering that the ADAS monocular camera needs to be cleaned, maintained and possibly repaired regularly, the complex installation structure not only brings inconvenience to daily maintenance, but also may increase the difficulty of operation during the disassembly process.
