[0002] With the advancement of automotive technology, especially the widespread application of assisted driving systems, the demand for automotive millimeter-wave radar sensors has increased dramatically. Automotive millimeter-wave radar sensors are an indispensable part of modern automotive safety systems. They detect objects around the vehicle by emitting and receiving millimeter waves, thereby realizing functions such as automatic obstacle avoidance, lane keeping, and automatic cruise control. In order to adapt to different vehicle models and driving environments, automotive millimeter-wave radar sensors need to be equipped with radar brackets of different shapes to ensure their correct installation and stable operation.

[0003] In the prior art, radar brackets are often assembled by manual positioning. However, this manual positioning method makes it difficult to ensure accurate positioning of the radar bracket, resulting in unstable positioning or hole position offset, which affects the performance and reliability of the vehicle-mounted millimeter-wave radar sensor. In addition, since vehicle-mounted millimeter-wave radar sensors installed on different models need to be equipped with radar brackets of different shapes to ensure their correct installation and stable operation, this manual positioning method will also lead to low efficiency.

[0009] In one embodiment, the positioning frame also includes a locking structure, which is arranged on the positioning frame.

[0030] In order to solve the problems in the prior art, the utility model provides a radar bracket positioning tool, which can be used for positioning when assembling different radar brackets, and can also accurately and quickly realize the positioning of radar brackets of different vehicle models, thereby improving operational efficiency.

[0031] First, a radar bracket positioning tool provided by the utility model is introduced below.

[0032] Figure 1 This is a simple structural diagram of a radar bracket positioning tool provided by an embodiment of the utility model. Figure 1 The utility model provides a radar bracket positioning tool, which is used to position the radar bracket 91 when assembling the vehicle radar bracket 91 to the vehicle. The radar bracket positioning tool comprises: a magnetic positioning platform 10, which is made of a magnetic response material and is used to provide an installation plane for the radar bracket positioning tool; a radar fixing structure 20, on which a radar 92 is detachably fixed, and the radar 92 is away from the top of the radar fixing structure 20 and contacts the radar bracket 91, and the radar fixing structure 20 is fixed on the installation plane of the magnetic positioning platform 10; a positioning column assembly 30, which is detachably fixed on the installation plane of the magnetic positioning platform 10, and the positioning column assembly 30 comprises a base frame 31 and a positioning frame 32, and a magnetic material layer is arranged at the end of the base frame 31 contacting the magnetic positioning platform 10, which is used to be magnetically connected to the magnetic positioning platform 10, and the positioning frame 32 is fixed on the base frame 31, and the positioning frame 32 is used to contact the radar bracket 91 to ensure that the radar bracket 91 is positioned during the installation process.

[0033] The above technical solution arranges a magnetic material layer at the end where the base frame 31 contacts the magnetic positioning platform 10, thereby arranging the positioning column assembly 30 on the magnetic positioning platform 10 made of magnetic response material by magnetic connection. The radar 92 is fixedly arranged on the radar fixing structure 20. When different radar brackets 91 are assembled on the top of the radar 92 away from the radar fixing structure 20, it is necessary to position the radar bracket 91. Since the positioning column assembly 30 is magnetically connected to the magnetic positioning platform 10, the positioning column assembly 30 can be fixed at any position of the magnetic positioning platform 10, so that the positioning frame 32 can freely contact with the radar bracket 91 to ensure the positioning of the radar bracket 91 during the installation process, so that the positioning of the radar bracket 91 of different models can be achieved more accurately and quickly, thereby ultimately improving the operating efficiency.

[0034] Figure 2This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of a radar bracket positioning tool provided by an embodiment of the utility model. Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the base frame 31 includes a base 311, a first frame 312 and a second frame 313, and a magnetic material layer is set at one end of the base 311. The magnetic positioning platform 10 adopts a blackened iron oxide plate, which is wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant and has good magnetic adsorption. The magnetic material layer fits the magnetic positioning platform 10, so that the base 311 is fixed on the magnetic positioning platform 10 by magnetic connection. The first frame 312 is fixed to the other end of the base 311, and the first frame 312 and the second frame 313 are integrally formed. The first frame 312 is horizontally fixed on the base 311 by means of snap connection, screw connection or pin connection; the second frame 313 is vertically fixed on one side of the first frame 312, so that a slide 3131 is opened on the second frame 313 in the vertical direction, and the length of the slide 3131 is set within a preset range. The slide 3131 is used to limit the movement distance of the positioning frame 32 in the vertical direction.

[0035] Please continue reading Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the base frame 31 is electrically connected to a controller 93, and the controller 93 is configured to adjust the magnetization state of the magnetic material layer so that the magnetization state of the magnetic material layer switches between an activated state and an inactivated state. When it is necessary to move the positioning column assembly 30, the magnetization state of the magnetic material layer is set to an inactivated state through the controller 93. At this time, there is no magnetic force between the positioning column assembly 30 and the magnetic positioning platform 10, and the positioning column assembly 30 can be moved to any position on the magnetic positioning platform 10; when the positioning column assembly 30 moves to the desired position and needs to be fixed to the magnetic positioning platform 10, the magnetization state of the magnetic material layer is set to an activated state through the controller 93. At this time, there is a magnetic force between the positioning column assembly 30 and the magnetic positioning platform 10, and the positioning column assembly 30 is fixed on the installation plane of the magnetic positioning platform 10.

[0036] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of a simple assembly structure of a base frame and a positioning frame provided by an embodiment of the utility model. Figure 2 and Figure 3In this embodiment, the positioning frame 32 includes a mounting portion 321 and a positioning portion 322, and the positioning portion 322 is horizontally arranged at one end of the mounting portion 321 away from the magnetic positioning platform 10. A boss 323 is formed on one side of the mounting portion 321 of the positioning frame 32 close to the slideway 3131, and the boss 323 is accommodated in the slideway 3131, so that the positioning frame 32 and the second frame 313 can be movably connected, and when the positioning frame 32 is in the active position, the boss 323 can slide along the slideway 3131 or rotate along its own central axis. The diameter of the boss 323 is smaller than the width of the slideway 3131, so that the boss 323 can rotate along its own central axis in the slideway 3131. Since the mounting portion 321 and the positioning portion 322 are integrally formed, when the boss 323 slides along the slideway 3131, the positioning portion 322 also moves in the vertical direction following the boss 323; when the boss 323 rotates along its own central axis, the positioning portion 322 also rotates around the central axis of the boss 323 following the boss 323, thereby being able to adapt to the positioning of different radar brackets 91.

[0037] In this embodiment, the positioning frame 32 also includes a locking structure 324, which is arranged on the positioning frame 32. When the positioning frame 32 is in the locking position, the locking structure 324 is used to fix the positioning frame 32 on the second frame body 313 to prevent the boss 323 from sliding in the slideway 3131 or rotating along its own central axis. As a preferred embodiment, the locking structure 324 is a columnar body with a threaded hole, and the end side of the boss 323 is provided with a thread. The slideway 3131 is a through groove. The boss 323 passes through the slideway 3131 and is threadedly connected to the locking structure 324. The diameter of the locking structure 324 is greater than the width of the slideway 3131, so that the second frame body 313 is pressed and fixed between the locking structure 324 and the first frame body 312.

[0038] In this embodiment, the free end of the positioning portion 322 forms an angle slot 3221, and the angle slot 3221 includes two slot surfaces 3222, and the angle between the two slot surfaces 3222 is greater than or equal to 90 degrees, and the slot surface 3222 is used to contact the radar bracket 91. Most radar brackets 91 have a side angle of 90 degrees, and the radar bracket 91 is preferably positioned with the slot surface 3222. The position of the positioning column assembly 30 can be adjusted so that the radar bracket 91 is partially accommodated in the slot of the angle slot 3221, and the side of the radar bracket 91 is against the slot surface of the angle slot 3221. Furthermore, according to the positioning requirements of the radar bracket 91, a plurality of positioning column assemblies 30 can be arranged on the magnetic positioning platform 10 to contact the radar bracket 91 to position the radar bracket 91.

[0039] Figure 4 For a structural diagram of a positioning portion provided by an embodiment of the utility model, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4In this embodiment, a positioning pin 325 is vertically arranged on the side of the positioning portion 322 away from the magnetic positioning platform 10, and the end of the positioning pin 325 is cylindrical. The diameter of the end of the positioning pin 325 is smaller than the diameter of the positioning hole of the radar bracket 91, so that the end of the positioning pin 325 can be extended into the positioning hole of the radar bracket 91 for positioning the radar bracket 91.

[0040] Figure 5 For a structural diagram of a positioning portion provided by another embodiment of the utility model, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 5 In this embodiment, a positioning pin 325 is vertically arranged on the side of the positioning portion 322 away from the magnetic positioning platform 10, and the positioning pin 325 is pointed. Since the positioning pin 325 is pointed, the positioning pin 325 can be adapted to a positioning hole whose diameter is smaller than the maximum diameter of the cross section of the positioning pin 325, so that the positioning pin 325 has stronger adaptability.

[0041] Figure 6 This is a cross-sectional view of the radar fixing structure and the radar assembly provided by an embodiment of the utility model. Figure 2 and Figure 6 In this embodiment, the radar fixing structure 20 is provided with a sink 21 for accommodating the radar 92. The shape of the sink 21 is adapted to the shape of the radar 92. The thickness of the sink 21 is less than or equal to the thickness of the radar 92, so that when the radar bracket 91 is placed on the surface of the radar 92, the radar bracket 91 and the radar fixing structure 20 with the sink 21 do not interfere with each other. A through hole is provided at the bottom of the radar fixing bracket 20 for fixing the radar fixing bracket 20 on the magnetic positioning platform 10. In addition, since the contact part between the radar 92 and the radar fixing bracket 20 is a plastic part, in order to prevent the wall surface of the radar 92 from being scratched, the material of the radar fixing structure 20 is a pom antistatic plastic material.

[0042] In summary, the utility model provides a radar bracket positioning tool, which arranges a magnetic material layer at the end where the base frame 31 contacts the magnetic positioning platform 10, so that the positioning column assembly 30 is arranged on the magnetic positioning platform 10 made of magnetic response material by magnetic connection. The radar 92 is fixedly arranged on the radar fixed structure 20. When different radar brackets 91 are assembled on the top of the radar 92 away from the radar fixed structure 20, it is necessary to position the radar bracket 91. Since the positioning column assembly 30 is magnetically connected to the magnetic positioning platform 10, the positioning column assembly 30 can be fixed at any position of the magnetic positioning platform 10, so that the positioning frame 32 can freely contact with the radar bracket 91 to ensure the positioning of the radar bracket 91 during the installation process, so that the positioning of the radar bracket 91 of different models can be achieved more accurately and quickly, thereby ultimately improving the operating efficiency.

[0043] The above is only a specific implementation of the utility model, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
