Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of vehicle-mounted cameras, and in particular to a vehicle-mounted camera device and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous upgrading of vehicle technology, vehicle cameras have become an indispensable component of vehicles. When a vehicle camera is installed on a vehicle, it will vary with the inclination angle of the installation location.

Therefore, the installation angle of the vehicle camera also needs to change accordingly, that is, it is particularly important that the angle of the vehicle camera module can be adjusted.

[0032] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3The first rotating connection part 203 includes a cylindrical first rotating shaft 208, the outer surface of the first rotating shaft 208 is recessed inward to form an annular groove 2031, and the damping ring 205 is arranged in the annular groove 2031, and the second rotating connection part 204 includes a cylindrical second rotating shaft 209.

[0033] In this embodiment, the damping ring 205 is made of rubber material. In some feasible embodiments, the damping ring 205 is annular, and after extrusion, the cross section of the damping ring 205 is star-shaped. In some feasible embodiments, after extrusion, the cross section of the damping ring 205 can be an O-shaped, U-shaped, Z-shaped, etc. structure. In addition, the material of the damping ring 205 can be selected according to the required rotation angle and friction coefficient between the camera module 20 and the housing 10.

The front shell 112 and the bottom shell 111 can also be adjusted to other pressing and fastening methods and forms. For example, the fastening form can be one-piece pressing, left and right pressing, etc.; the fastening method can be welding, gluing, etc.

[0036] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 In this embodiment, a knob mounting portion 101 is provided on the housing 10, the mounting portion 101 is provided with a mounting hole 1011, and the housing 10 is provided with a rotating frame 267. The rotating frame 267 includes a first rotating frame 206 and a second rotating frame 207 that are spaced and arranged opposite to each other, the first rotating connection portion 203 is rotatably connected to the first rotating frame 206, and the second rotating connection portion 204 is rotatably connected to the second rotating frame 207, so that the camera module 20 rotates between the first rotating frame 206 and the second rotating frame 207.

The first rotating connecting portion 203 is located between the first supporting portion 1112 and the first engaging portion 1123, and rotates between the first supporting portion 1112 and the first engaging portion 1123.

[0038] It can be understood that a first arc-shaped opening 1114 is provided at the end of the first support portion 1112 away from the bottom surface, and a second arc-shaped opening 1125 is provided at one end of the first locking portion 1123 toward the first support portion 1112. The first arc-shaped opening 1114 and the second arc-shaped opening 1125 together form a first circular hole 102 for the first rotating connecting portion 203 to pass through and rotate in the first circular hole 102.

[0039] The second rotating frame 207 includes a second supporting portion 1113 arranged on the bottom surface of the bottom shell 111 facing the surface shell 112 and a second clamping portion 1124 arranged on the second side wall.

[0041] When the vehicle-mounted camera device 1 is installed on the vehicle 2, the damping ring 205 is clamped in the first circular hole 102 by the first engaging portion 1123 toward the first supporting portion 1112. The user can control the first rotating connection portion 203 to rotate through the knob 30. The rotation causes the fulcrum between the first rotating connection portion 203 and the first rotating shaft 208 to drive the first rotating shaft 208 to rotate through the force generated by the rotation. The rotation between the first rotating shaft 208 and the first circular hole 102 causes the damping ring 205 to generate a damping force. There is a lever relationship between the first rotating shaft 208 and the damping ring 205, so the lever ratio can be adjusted according to actual use. The second rotating shaft 209 is inserted into the second circular hole 103 and rotates synchronously with the first rotating shaft 208.

[0042] In this embodiment, the knob 30 is used to control the relative rotation between the camera module 10 and the housing 30, and the knob 30 is disposed in the mounting hole 1011 of the mounting portion 101 on one side of the face shell 112. The knob 30 includes a fixing portion 301 and an operating portion 302 connected to the fixing portion 301, the fixing portion 301 passes through the mounting portion 101 and is fixed to the first rotating connection portion 203, the operating portion 302 is exposed to the housing 10 for operation, and the first rotating connection portion 203 and the second rotating connection portion 204 rotate relative to the housing 10 under the actuation of the operating portion 302 to adjust the angle of the camera module 20.

[0043] Please see Figure 6 The embodiment of the present application further provides a vehicle 2, wherein the front windshield of the vehicle 2 is provided with the vehicle-mounted camera device 1. When the vehicle-mounted camera device 1 is mounted on the vehicle 2, the angular position relationship between the camera module 20 and the housing 10 can be adjusted by the knob 30, so that the lens assembly 202 can stably capture images during the operation of the vehicle 2.

[0044] In some embodiments, the vehicle-mounted camera device 1 is not limited to being disposed on the front windshield of the vehicle 2 , but may also be disposed on the body of the vehicle 2 , or other light-transmitting layers.

[0045] In the above embodiment, the first rotating connection part in the camera module is controlled by the knob, so that the first rotating shaft drives the camera module to rotate. At the same time, the damping ring sleeved on the first rotating shaft is tightly fitted with the first rotating frame, and damping friction is generated during the rotation process to achieve a stabilizing effect. The installation steps and operation of the user when installing the vehicle-mounted camera are simple, the cost is low, and the operation is stable; the vehicle is more stable and controllable during driving.
