[0034] As the intelligent driving level of new energy vehicles is getting higher and higher, more and more vehicles are beginning to be equipped with LiDAR. Because LiDAR detection requires high accuracy, LiDAR needs to be assembled with the body frame with high precision to ensure the detection accuracy of LiDAR. The body size accuracy is high, but the installation position accuracy of the body exterior coverings, such as fenders and bumpers, is low, resulting in the matching gap between LiDAR and fenders or bumpers not meeting the regulatory requirements, resulting in a less refined appearance of the vehicle, affecting the commercial quality of the vehicle.

[0035] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 8 A radar mounting assembly for a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0036] According to the utility model, a radar mounting assembly 1 for a vehicle includes an adapter 11 and a radar 12. The adapter 11 is provided with a first mounting portion 1111 and a second mounting portion 1131. The first mounting portion 1111 and the second mounting portion 1131 can selectively move relative to each other. The first mounting portion 1111 is suitable for connecting to a vehicle body. The radar 12 is arranged on the second mounting portion 1131 and can selectively move relative to the vehicle body.

[0037] The present application cooperates the radar 12 with the adapter 11 so that the radar 12 can be selectively moved relative to the vehicle body, thereby adjusting the installation position and installation angle of the radar 12, ensuring that the assembly gap between the radar 12 and the vehicle body sheet metal 20 meets the regulatory requirements, thereby ensuring the beauty of the vehicle's outer tube.

[0038] Among them, the adapter 11 includes a first mounting part 1111 and a second mounting part 1131. The first mounting part 1111 is connected to the vehicle body. Since the first mounting part 1111 can move relative to the second mounting part 1131, the radar 12 is installed on the second mounting part 1131. The radar 12 can move relative to the vehicle body as the second mounting part 1131 moves, thereby adjusting the position of the radar 12 relative to the vehicle body and adjusting the assembly gap between the radar 12 and the vehicle body sheet metal 20.

[0039] According to one embodiment of the utility model, the adapter 11 includes a base plate 111, a transfer rod 112 and a mounting plate 113, the base plate 111 is provided with a first mounting portion 1111; one end of the transfer rod 112 is hingedly connected to the base plate 111; the mounting plate 113 is arranged at the other end of the transfer rod 112 and is hingedly connected to the transfer rod 112, and the mounting plate 113 is provided with a second mounting portion 1131.

[0040] Specifically, a first mounting portion 1111 is provided on the substrate 111, and the first mounting portion 1111 can be a mounting screw hole. The substrate 111 and the vehicle body frame can be fixedly connected by bolts to ensure that the substrate 111 and the vehicle body are stably connected; one end of the transfer rod 112 is hingedly connected to the substrate 111, and one end of the transfer rod 112 can move relative to the substrate 111, and the other end of the transfer rod 112 is hingedly connected to the mounting plate 113, so that the mounting plate 113 can move relative to the transfer rod 112 and the substrate 111. A second mounting portion 1131 is provided on the mounting plate 113, and the radar 12 is arranged on the second mounting portion 1131. Since the mounting plate 113 can move relative to the substrate 111, the radar 12 can move relative to the substrate 111 as the mounting plate 113 moves, thereby adjusting the installation position and installation angle of the radar 12 relative to the vehicle body, adjusting the assembly gap between the radar 12 and the vehicle body sheet metal 20, and ensuring the beautiful appearance of the vehicle body.

[0041] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the transfer rods 112 are configured to be at least two and spaced apart from each other on the outer periphery of the base plate 111 .

[0042] The transfer rod 112 can be constructed as two or more transfer rods 112 spaced apart on the periphery of the substrate 111 to ensure that the transfer rod 112 stably supports the mounting plate 113. When the transfer rod 112 is constructed as two transfer rods 112 spaced apart on the periphery of the substrate 111, the two ends of each transfer rod 112 are respectively hingedly connected to the substrate 111 and the mounting plate 113, and the mounting plate 113 can adjust the deflection angle between itself and the substrate 111, or the mounting plate 113 can move horizontally relative to the substrate 111 to adjust the mounting position between the mounting plate 113 and the substrate 111; the transfer rod 112 can also be constructed as a plurality of transfer rods 112 spaced apart on the periphery of the substrate 111, and the two ends of each transfer rod 112 are respectively hingedly connected to the substrate 111 and the mounting plate 113, and the mounting plate 113 can move horizontally relative to the substrate 111 to adjust the mounting position of the mounting plate 113 and the substrate 111, and the radar 12 can move following the mounting plate 113 to adjust the assembly position and assembly angle between the radar 12 and the vehicle body.

[0043] According to an embodiment of the utility model, the length of each adapter rod 112 is adjustable, and the two ends of each adapter rod 112 are hingedly connected to the mounting plate 113 and the base plate 111 respectively. By adjusting the length of the adapter rod 112 itself, the inclination angle between the mounting plate 113 and the base plate 111 is adjusted, thereby adjusting the assembly angle of the radar 12 installed on the mounting plate 113 to adjust the assembly gap between the radar 12 and the vehicle body sheet metal 20.

[0044] According to an embodiment of the utility model, the mounting plate 113 is arranged parallel to the base plate 111, and the mounting plate 113 moves relative to the base plate 111 through the adapter rod 112. As the mounting plate 113 moves relative to the base plate 111, the installation position of the mounting plate 113 and the radar 12 is adjusted to ensure that the gap between the radar 12 and the body sheet metal 20 meets the assembly requirements and the appearance of the vehicle is beautiful. The mounting plate 113 is always parallel to the base plate 111 to ensure that the installation angle of the radar 12 remains unchanged and the detection accuracy of the radar 12 is ensured.

[0045] According to one embodiment of the utility model, the radar mounting assembly 1 of the present application also includes a guide portion 13 and a positioning pin 14, the guide portion 13 is connected to the mounting plate 113 or the substrate 111, a conical groove is formed on the guide portion 13 and is open toward away from the substrate 111, and the cross-section of the conical groove gradually increases in the direction away from the substrate 111 to form a guiding inclined surface on the inner wall of the conical groove; the positioning pin 14 is arranged on the vehicle body sheet metal 20, and the end of the positioning pin 14 contacts the guiding inclined surface to drive the mounting plate 113 to move relative to the substrate 111.

[0046] Specifically, the guide portion 13 may be configured as follows: Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the guide portion 13 is arranged on the mounting plate 113, and a conical groove open away from the base plate 111 is formed on the guide portion 13, and a guiding inclined surface is formed on the inner wall of the conical groove. A positioning pin 14 is arranged on the body sheet metal 20, and the positioning pin 14 is arranged corresponding to the guide portion 13. During the assembly process of the body sheet metal 20 and the body frame, due to the deviation of the assembly accuracy of the sheet metal, the positioning pin 14 is inserted into the conical groove and stops with the guiding inclined surface in the conical groove. With the assembly of the sheet metal, the positioning pin 14 drives the conical groove to move and drives the mounting plate 113 to move. The mounting plate 113 moves horizontally relative to the base plate 111 under the drive of the positioning pin 14 to adjust the assembly gap between the radar 12 and the body sheet metal 20, and because the mounting plate 113 moves horizontally relative to the base plate 111, the installation angle of the radar 12 relative to the body remains unchanged, thereby ensuring that the detection range and detection accuracy of the radar 12 remain unchanged.

[0047] According to an embodiment of the present utility model, a limiting hole 131 for cooperating with the positioning pin 14 is provided on the guide portion 13 , and the limiting hole 131 is provided at the bottom of the tapered groove.

[0048] like Figure 6As shown, a limiting hole 131 is provided at the bottom of the conical groove, when the positioning pin 14 on the body sheet metal 20 is inserted into the limiting hole 131, the body sheet metal 20 is assembled, the limiting pin limits the circumferential movement of the positioning pin 14, the mounting plate 113 stops moving, and the radar 12 and the sheet metal are assembled. Since the mounting plate 113 moves relative to the base plate 111 as the sheet metal is assembled, the assembly gap between the radar 12 and the sheet metal meets the assembly requirements, thereby preventing the gap between the radar 12 and the sheet metal from affecting the exterior appearance of the vehicle.

[0049] According to one embodiment of the utility model, a plurality of supporting legs 15 extending away from the base plate 111 are formed on the outer periphery of the mounting plate 113, and a guide portion 13 is arranged on each supporting leg 15. Each supporting leg 15 protrudes from the mounting plate 113 and extends toward the vehicle body sheet metal 20, and a guide portion 13 is arranged on each supporting leg 15. Positioning pins 14 corresponding to the guide portions 13 are arranged on the vehicle body sheet metal 20. The installation position of the radar 12 is adjusted by cooperating with the plurality of positioning pins 14 and the plurality of guide portions 13 to ensure that the gap between the vehicle body sheet metal 20 and the radar 12 meets the assembly requirements, thereby preventing the gap from being too large and affecting the external appearance of the vehicle body.

[0050] The vehicle according to the present utility model is briefly described below.

[0051] The vehicle according to the utility model includes a body sheet metal 20 and the radar mounting assembly 1 described in any one of the above-mentioned embodiments, and a radar mounting hole 201 is provided on the body sheet metal 20; the radar 12 is suitable for positioning and cooperating with the radar mounting hole 201. Since the vehicle according to the utility model includes the radar mounting assembly 1 described in any one of the above-mentioned embodiments, the installation position of the radar 12 in the vehicle of the utility model can be adjusted according to the installation of the body sheet metal 20, ensuring that the assembly gap between the radar 12 and the body sheet metal 20 meets the assembly requirements, thereby ensuring the external aesthetics of the vehicle.

[0052] The body sheet metal 20 may be a body exterior sheet metal structure such as a bumper or a fender.

[0053] According to one embodiment of the utility model, a first locking member is provided on the body sheet metal 20, and a second locking member cooperating with the first locking member is provided on the radar 12. The first locking member cooperates with the second locking member to limit the movement of the radar 12 relative to the sheet metal. When the body sheet metal 20 is assembled with the body, the locating pin 14 on the sheet metal is inserted into the limiting hole 131 in the guide portion 13 to limit the movement of the locating pin 14 relative to the guide portion 13. The first locking member and the second locking member cooperate to lock the locating pin 14 and the guide portion 13, thereby limiting the movement of the radar 12 relative to the sheet metal and ensuring that the sheet metal and the radar 12 are stably installed.
