[0026] See also Figures 1 to 3 Now, a mounting bracket structure provided by the utility model is described. A mounting bracket structure includes a mounting bracket body 100 located at the rear end surface of the bottom plate, the rear end surface of the mounting bracket body 100 is provided with a rearview mirror mounting portion for mounting an interior rearview mirror, the left and right sides of the mounting bracket body 100 are respectively provided with first connecting arms 200, the end of the first connecting arm 200 is provided with a first bending portion 210 bent toward the front side, the end of the first bending portion 210 is provided with a first connecting portion 220, the two first connecting portions 220 are respectively connected to the left and right sides of the rear end surface of the bottom plate, and an installation space 140 for installing a binocular camera is formed between the two first connecting arms 200 and the bottom plate.

[0027] The utility model provides a mounting bracket structure. Compared with the prior art, the mounting bracket body 100 is provided with first connecting arms 200 on the left and right sides respectively, and the ends of the two first connecting arms 200 are provided with first connecting parts 220, and the mounting bracket body 100 is installed on the rear end surface of the bottom plate through the first connecting parts 220 on the left and right sides. The ends of the first connecting arms 200 are also provided with first bending parts 210, and the two first bending parts 210 are bent forward to form an installation space 140 between the mounting bracket body 100 and the two first connecting arms 200 and the bottom plate. Among them, the interior rearview mirror is installed on the rear end surface of the mounting bracket body 100 through the rearview mirror installation part, and at the same time, the binocular camera is installed in the above-mentioned installation space 140. That is, the interior rearview mirror is installed on the rear side of the mounting bracket body 100, and the binocular camera is installed on the front side of the mounting bracket body 100. The utility model provides a mounting bracket structure, in which the interior rearview mirror and the binocular camera are stacked front and back relative to the mounting bracket body 100, with higher integration, reducing the obstruction of the front field of view, avoiding the feeling of oppression for the driver and passengers, and improving the sense of refinement.

[0028] It should be noted that the bottom plate is a plate structure installed on the inside of the front windshield. The bottom plate is generally located in the upper middle area of ​​the front windshield. The bottom plate provides installation positions for functional components such as cameras, rearview mirrors and rain sensors. A binocular camera is a device that uses two cameras to synchronously collect image information. It is usually used in 3D imaging, depth estimation, stereo vision, machine vision and other fields. This camera can simulate the visual principle of the human eye, calculate the depth information of the object through the difference between the images captured by the two cameras, and thus achieve stereoscopic perception of the environment. When used in autonomous driving, the binocular camera is based on the principle of parallax, that is, two cameras capture images of the same scene from slightly different perspectives, and then calculate the difference between the two images through an algorithm to obtain the depth information of the object presented in front of the car in the driving state. The design of a binocular camera usually includes two cameras, an image processing unit (IPU) and corresponding software algorithms. The distance and viewing angle between the cameras need to be precisely controlled to ensure that the calculated depth information is accurate and reliable. It is an essential key device for realizing autonomous driving.

[0029] See also Figures 1 to 3 The first connecting arm 200 is provided with a second bending portion 230 bent forward on one side close to the mounting bracket body 100. The bending angle of the second bending portion is not greater than 90°. By providing the second bending portion, a cavity with a greater depth can be formed on the front end surface of the mounting bracket body 100. The cavity can provide a corresponding avoidance space for the connector between the binocular cameras, thereby preventing the connector between the binocular cameras from interfering with the front end surface of the mounting bracket body 100 after the mounting bracket body 100 is mounted on the bottom plate.

[0030] The first bending portion 210 and the second bending portion 230 are provided with transition fillets between the first connecting arm 200 , respectively, so as to reduce stress in the bending regions of the first bending portion 210 and the second bending portion 230 .

The front end surface of the first plate body 221 fits with the rear end surface of the bottom plate, and a threaded hole is provided at a corresponding position of the rear end surface of the bottom plate. A bolt is passed through the first mounting hole 222 and is threadedly connected to the threaded hole, thereby realizing the installation of the first plate body 221 on the rear end surface of the bottom plate, and thus the mounting bracket body 100 is installed on the rear end surface of the bottom plate through the first plate body 221.

[0032] Specifically, the rear end face of the first plate body 221 is provided with a first reinforcing rib grid 223, and the first reinforcing rib grid 223 is arranged around the periphery of the first mounting hole 222. The first reinforcing rib grid 223 includes an annular reinforcing rib arranged around the periphery of the first mounting hole 222 and a plurality of radial reinforcing ribs arranged radially, which can improve the structural strength of the first plate body 221 itself and avoid the deformation of the first plate body 221.

[0035] The second connecting portion 320 includes a second plate 321 connected to the end of the third bent portion 310, and a second mounting hole 322 is formed through the second plate 321. The front end surface of the second plate 321 fits with the rear end surface of the bottom plate, and a threaded hole is provided at a corresponding position of the rear end surface of the bottom plate. A bolt is passed through the second mounting hole 322 and is threadedly connected to the threaded hole, thereby realizing the installation of the second plate 321 on the rear end surface of the bottom plate, and thus the mounting bracket body 100 is installed on the rear end surface of the bottom plate through the first plate 221 and the second plate 321.

[0036] Preferably, the number of second mounting holes 322 provided on any second plate 321 is multiple, and the multiple second mounting holes 322 are arranged at intervals along the left-right direction. By providing multiple second mounting holes 322 arranged in sequence on one of the second plates 321, the structural strength of the connection between the second plate 321 and the base plate is improved. In addition, only one second mounting hole 322 is provided on the other second plate 321, and a positioning hole 324 is provided on one side of the second mounting hole 322. A protruding structure is provided at a corresponding position of the base plate, and the protruding structure is inserted into the positioning hole 324, so that the mounting bracket body 100 can be positioned in advance before installation.

[0038] See also Figure 1The rearview mirror mounting portion includes a limiting groove 110 provided on the rear end face of the mounting bracket body 100. The limiting groove 110 is a sunken groove. The base of the interior rearview mirror is clamped in the limiting groove 110 to limit the displacement of the interior rearview mirror in the left and right directions and the up and down directions. At the same time, the limiting groove 110 is a long strip groove, which can also limit the circumferential rotation of the interior rearview mirror. At least two rearview mirror mounting holes 120 are provided through the limiting groove 110. Bolts are used to penetrate the at least two rearview mirror mounting holes 120 and are threadedly connected to the base of the interior rearview mirror, so that the interior rearview mirror is installed on the rear end face of the mounting bracket body 100. A process hole 130 is provided on one side of the mounting bracket body 100. The process hole 130 is a strip hole, which has the functions of routing and limiting the rotation angle of the interior rearview mirror.

[0039] In addition, the mounting bracket body 100, the first connecting arm 200 and the second connecting arm 300 are integrally cast components, so that the mounting bracket structure itself has a high structural strength and a high anti-deformation ability. The mounting bracket structure is made of aluminum alloy die-casting material, which has high strength and is lighter than steel materials, which meets the design concept of lightweight vehicles.

[0040] The specific material used in the mounting bracket structure is ADC12 (Aluminum Die Casting Alloy 12), which is a common die-cast aluminum alloy. It is easy to cast and has good mechanical properties and dimensional stability.

[0041] Based on the same inventive concept, the utility model also provides a vehicle, which uses the above-mentioned mounting bracket structure. Therefore, the vehicle provided by the utility model has the same beneficial effects as the above-mentioned mounting bracket structure. The rearview mirror and binocular camera on the front windshield of the vehicle are stacked in front and back, with a higher degree of integration, reducing the obstruction of the front field of view, avoiding the sense of oppression for the driver and passengers, and improving the sense of refinement. A platform structure is uniformly planned for different series of models, which is applicable to all models, reduces product costs, and solves the shortcomings of excessive layout space, large volume and weight.
