[0032] The present disclosure provides a camera installation structure, see Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the camera installation structure in the embodiment of the present disclosure, and the camera installation structure includes: a first bracket 1, a second bracket 2, a camera body 3 and an adjustment structure 4, the first bracket 1 is connected to an external carrier; the second bracket 2 cooperates with the first bracket 1 to form a accommodating space; the camera body 3 is installed in the accommodating space; one end of the adjustment structure 4 is clamped in the installation groove of the camera body 3, and the other end of the adjustment structure 4 extends out of the outside of the second bracket 2, and the pitch angle of the camera body 3 is adjusted by adjusting the length of the adjustment structure 4 extending out of the outside of the second bracket 2.
[0033] Specifically, for the camera installation structure, the first bracket 1 is connected to an external carrier, that is, the first bracket 1 is installed on the external carrier, and the external carrier can be the windshield in front of the car. By connecting the first bracket 1 to the external carrier, the overall installation structure of the camera can be fixed on the external carrier. Secondly, a receiving space is formed by cooperating the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2, and the camera body 3 is installed in the receiving space. Then, an adjustment structure 4 is provided, one end of the adjustment structure 4 is clamped in the installation groove of the camera body 3, and the other end of the adjustment structure 4 extends out of the outside of the second bracket 2. The length of the adjustment structure 4 extending out of the outside of the second bracket 2 is adjusted to adjust the pitch angle of the camera body 3. Through this structural design, the pitch angle of the camera can be adjusted according to actual needs without disassembling the structure. See. Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 : is a schematic diagram of the cooperation between the camera body 3 and the adjustment structure 4 in the embodiment of the present disclosure. Specifically, the adjustment structure 4 is a structure that can drive the camera body 3 to move in a certain direction. One end of the adjustment structure 4 is fixedly connected to the camera body 3, and the other end is movable. By adjusting the movable distance of the other end of the adjustment structure 4 to drive the movement of the camera body 3, the pitch angle of the camera can be adjusted.
[0034] The present disclosure provides a camera installation structure, wherein the camera installation structure of the present disclosure is provided by installing a camera body in a space formed by cooperation between a first bracket and a second bracket, the first bracket is connected to an external carrier, and then an adjustment structure is provided. The pitch angle of the camera body can be adjusted by adjusting the length of the adjustment structure extending outside the second bracket, thereby achieving the pitch angle of the camera at any time without disassembling the camera installation structure.
[0035] In some optional embodiments, see Figure 3 , Figure 32 is a schematic diagram of a second bracket 2 in an embodiment of the present disclosure. The second bracket 2 includes a bottom plate 21, a first side plate 22, a second side plate 23 and a third side plate 24, wherein the first side plate 22, the second side plate 23 and the third side plate 24 are respectively arranged on the sides of the bottom plate 21, and the first side plate 22, the second side plate 23 and the third side plate 24 are all perpendicular to the bottom plate 21.
[0036] As for the structure of the second bracket 2, specifically, the second bracket 2 includes a bottom plate 21, a first side plate 22, a second side plate 23 and a third side plate 24. The first side plate 22, the second side plate 23 and the third side plate 24 are respectively arranged on the sides of the bottom plate 21. The bottom plate 21, the first side plate 22, the second side plate 23 and the third side plate 24 are used to enclose a receiving groove, and then cooperate with the first bracket 1 to form a receiving space, in which the camera body 3 is installed.
[0037] In this way, a receiving space is enclosed by the bottom plate, the first side plate, the second side plate and the third side plate. The camera body can move in the space through the formed receiving space, which is beneficial to adjust the pitch angle of the camera body.
[0038] In some optional embodiments, a first through hole 25 is provided on the bottom plate 21 , and one end of the adjustment structure 4 extends out of the outside of the second bracket 2 through the first through hole 25 .
[0039] Specifically, a first through hole 25 is provided on the bottom plate 21 , and one end of the adjustment structure 4 can be extended out of the outside of the first bracket 1 by providing the first through hole 25 .
[0040] In this way, by setting a first through hole on the bottom plate, one end of the adjustment structure extends out of the second bracket through the first through hole, thereby facilitating adjustment of the distance that the adjustment structure extends out of the second bracket, thereby facilitating precise adjustment of the pitch angle of the camera body.
[0041] In some optional embodiments, see Figure 4 , Figure 4 2 is a schematic diagram of the cooperation between the camera body 3 and the second bracket 2 in the embodiment of the present disclosure. The first side plate 22 is provided with a second through hole 26, and the second side plate 23 is provided with a third through hole 27, and the second through hole 26 and the third through hole 27 are arranged opposite to each other; one side of the camera body 3 is connected to the first side plate 22 through the second through hole 26, and the other side of the camera body 3 is connected to the second side plate 23 through the third through hole 27.
[0042] Specifically, there are protrusions on both sides of the camera body 3 , and the protrusions on both sides of the camera body 3 cooperate with the second through hole 26 and the third through hole 27 respectively, so that one end of the camera body 3 is fixed to the second bracket 2 .
[0043] In this way, by setting a second through hole on the first side panel and a third through hole on the second side panel, it is convenient to cooperate and fix one end of the camera body with the second bracket, so as to facilitate the subsequent adjustment of the pitch angle of the camera body by adjusting the length of the adjustment structure extending out of the outside of the second bracket.
[0044] In some optional embodiments, the camera mounting structure includes a first fixing member and a second fixing member, one side of the camera body 3 is fixed to the first side plate 22 through the first fixing member, and the other side of the camera body 3 is fixed to the second side plate 23 through the second fixing member.
[0045] Specifically, the protrusions on both sides of the camera body 3 cooperate with the second through hole 26 and the third through hole 27 respectively, and the two are fixed by the first fixing member and the second fixing member respectively, so that one end of the camera body 3 is fixed to the second bracket 2.
[0046] In this way, by providing the first fixing member and the second fixing member, it is advantageous to fix one end of the camera body to the second bracket.
[0047] In some optional embodiments, the first fixing member and the second fixing member are both rivets 5 .
[0048] In this way, the fixing is relatively simple and easy to implement by using rivets 5. Of course, the protrusions on both sides of the camera body 3 can be fixed with the second bracket 2 by welding or gluing.
[0049] In some optional embodiments, the adjustment structure 4 is an adjustment bolt.
[0050] Specifically, the adjustment structure 4 can be, for example, an adjustment bolt. An adjustment bolt is a specially designed bolt that has an additional function and can be used to adjust or calibrate the spacing, angle or position between the connected parts. Usually, the adjustment bolt has some additional features, such as a spherical washer, a change in thread length, a special design of the nut, etc., which enable them to achieve minor adjustments during the connection process.
[0051] In this way, by setting the adjusting bolt as an adjusting structure, slight adjustments can be made when adjusting the pitch angle of the camera body to meet the precise requirements. Secondly, the use of adjusting bolts can reduce the number of reassembly or adjustments due to inaccurate assembly, thereby improving assembly efficiency. Thirdly, since the adjusting bolts can calibrate the position of the connecting parts, problems caused by looseness can be reduced and the stability and reliability of the connection can be improved. Finally, the adjusting bolts can adapt to different assembly requirements, so that precise connection can be achieved under different circumstances.
[0052] In some optional embodiments, the first bracket 1 is an inclined flat plate, and the first bracket 1 covers the first side plate 22 and the second side plate 23 to form a receiving space.
[0053] In this way, since the first bracket is connected to the external carrier, and the external carrier is generally a car windshield, by setting the first bracket as an inclined flat plate, it is beneficial to the coordination and fixation of the first bracket and the external carrier, making the camera installation structure as a whole more stable.
[0054] In some optional embodiments, the surface of the first side plate 22 in contact with the first bracket 1 is an inclined surface, and the surface of the second side plate 23 in contact with the first bracket 1 is an inclined surface.
[0055] In this way, since the first bracket is an inclined flat plate, and the surface where the first side plate contacts the first bracket and the surface where the second side plate contacts the first bracket are both set as inclined surfaces, the first bracket and the second bracket can be easily installed in coordination.
[0056] In some optional embodiments, the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2 are fixed together by a third fixing member.
[0057] In this way, when the first bracket and the second bracket are matched and fixed, the third fixing member is used for matching and fixing, so that the matching installation between the first bracket and the second bracket is relatively simple and convenient for matching installation between the two.
[0058] In some optional embodiments, the third fixing member includes a bolt 6 and a nut 7, and the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2 are fixed together by the cooperation of the bolt 6 and the nut 7.
[0059] In this way, the first bracket and the second bracket are matched and fixed by using the matching method of bolts and nuts, so that the matching installation between the first bracket and the second bracket is relatively simple and convenient.
[0060] In order to facilitate the overall understanding of the solution of this application, see Figure 5 , Figure 5It is an overall schematic diagram of the camera mounting structure in the embodiment of the present disclosure. The camera mounting structure integrates a glass bonding bracket (also referred to as a first bracket), a camera mounting module (also referred to as a camera body), a camera mounting bracket (also referred to as a second bracket), an adjusting bolt, a rivet, a nut, and a bolt. First, the camera mounting module is riveted to the camera mounting bracket through the gap between two rivets, the adjusting bolt is connected to the camera mounting bracket through a thread, and the adjusting bolt head ball is clamped in the camera mounting module slot. The glass bonding bracket is bonded to the front windshield and is supplied with the front windshield. The assembled camera mounting module, camera mounting bracket, and adjusting bolt are fixed to the glass bonding bracket by nuts and bolts to complete the installation and form a complete set of structures. During production and maintenance, the adjusting bolt is rotated to adjust the pitch angle of the camera mounting module to meet the camera pitch angle requirements during calibration.
[0061] This camera installation structure solution, through a new structural external design, can adjust the pitch angle of the front sensing camera of the car after assembly without disassembly. It solves the problem of the traditional installation method, which causes the pitch angle of the front sensing camera of the car to be out of tolerance after the accumulation of component tolerances, resulting in the inability to calibrate the intelligent driving system during production and maintenance, and the need to disassemble and replace the front camera. At the same time, it reduces the production and maintenance time and component loss.
[0062] It should be noted that, although several modules or units of the equipment for action execution are mentioned in the above detailed description, this division is not mandatory. In fact, according to the embodiments of the present application, the features and functions of two or more modules or units described above can be embodied in one module or unit. On the contrary, the features and functions of one module or unit described above can be further divided into being embodied by multiple modules or units.
