[0007] The mounting seat is connected to the telescopic platform in the accommodating cavity through a movable joint, the telescopic platform drives the movable joint to telescope toward the side of the vehicle, and the movable joint drives the mounting seat to deflect on the longitudinal vertical plane of the vehicle.

[0008] The movable joint includes a second folding bracket and a first folding bracket, both ends of the second folding bracket are provided with rotating shafts driven by a motor, one of the rotating shafts is fixed on the movable part of the telescopic platform, and the other rotating shaft is fixedly connected to one end of the first folding bracket, and the rotating shaft driven by the motor on the back side of the mounting base is fixedly connected to the other end of the first folding bracket.

[0009] When the mounting seat is retracted into the accommodating cavity, the outer surface of the mounting seat is flush with the surface of the vehicle body.

[0010] The accommodating cavities on both sides of the vehicle are symmetrically arranged and are located in front of the front wheel cover of the vehicle.

[0011] The camera is located in the middle of the mounting seat, and two groups of turn signal lights are provided, which are respectively located in the front and middle of the camera.

[0012] The camera is a wide-angle camera.

[0013] The utility model achieves the purpose of warning and reminding non-motor vehicles and pedestrians when turning by adding front and side cameras and sound and light reminder devices, thereby improving the safety of cars when turning in urban areas and reducing the possibility of collisions.

[0014] Specifically, the system is achieved by upgrading the observation mechanism (mounting seat) by protruding out, which can not only better alert pedestrians around, but also raise the camera to increase the observation range. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0020] The following is a further detailed description of the specific implementation methods of the present invention, such as the shapes and structures of the components involved, the relative positions and connection relationships between the components, the functions and working principles of the components, the manufacturing process and the operation and use methods, etc., through the description of the embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings, so as to help those skilled in the art to have a more complete, accurate and in-depth understanding of the inventive concept and technical solution of the present invention.

[0021] The automobile turning warning system is to add cameras 8 on both sides of the front of the automobile, install the cameras 8 on the mounting seat 2, and the door of the automobile is provided with a accommodating cavity 1 for accommodating the mounting seat 2. The camera 8 is installed on the outer side of the mounting seat 2. The camera 8 is a wide-angle camera 8, so that a wider field of view can be seen. A turning indicator light 7 is provided on the mounting seat 2 next to the camera 8, and a turning indicator speaker is provided in the mounting seat 2.

[0022] The mounting seat 2 is connected to the telescopic platform 4 in the accommodating cavity 1 through a movable joint, and the telescopic platform 4 drives the movable joint to extend and retract toward the side of the car. For example, the telescopic platform 4 is an electric cylinder embedded in the car body, and the movable joint drives the mounting seat 2 to deflect on the longitudinal vertical plane of the car. The accommodating cavities 1 on both sides of the vehicle are symmetrically arranged and are located in front of the front wheel cover of the car. When the mounting seat 2 is retracted into the accommodating cavity 1, the outer surface of the mounting seat 2 is flush with the surface of the car body, which can also ensure the aesthetic effect.

[0023] The camera 8 is located in the middle of the mounting base 2, and the turn signal lights 7 are provided with two groups, which are respectively located in front and in the middle of the camera 8. By adding cameras 8 and sound and light reminder belts to the front and rear guards of the vehicle, pedestrians and non-motor vehicles in the non-motor vehicle lane outside the vehicle can be reminded. The camera 8 can be used to feedback the non-motor vehicle lane conditions in the turning blind spot, so that the driver can make driving decisions based on the road conditions. In order to avoid the occurrence of safety risk events caused by visual blind spots, the camera 8 is connected to the central control screen in the car through a data cable. The system can be started through the physical buttons or virtual buttons of the central control to control the camera 8 to turn on or off, and to control the movable joints and telescopic platform 4 to work.

[0024] The movable joint includes a second folding bracket 6 and a first folding bracket 3. The second folding bracket 6 and the first folding bracket 3 are rod-shaped structures. Both ends of the second folding bracket 6 are provided with rotating shafts driven by a motor, one of which is fixed on the movable part of the telescopic platform 4, and the other is fixedly connected to one end of the first folding bracket 3. The rotating shaft driven by the motor on the back of the mounting base 2 is fixed to the other end of the first folding bracket 3. The three-section rotation is realized through the rotating shaft, which enables the mounting base 2 to drive the camera 8 to move to a higher position, and can provide a better field of view in some special circumstances.

[0025] Working principle: When the driver drives the vehicle to turn right, the driver can observe the vehicle coming from the right through the camera 8 in the mounting seat 2. At the same time, when the right turn signal is turned on, the turn signal light 7 is turned on synchronously to remind the vehicle coming from the right.

[0026] When the driver finds that there is a green belt on the right and the working range of the camera 8 is blocked. Activate the telescopic and deflection functions of the telescopic platform 4 and the movable joint through the control switch in the car. When the control switch is pressed for the first time, the control switch will transmit a signal to the extension signal transmission. After the working motor receives the extension signal, it starts the unfolding actuator to drive the telescopic platform to extend outward from the telescopic frame of the camera 8. The third rotating motor 10 starts to rotate to the left, driving the second folding bracket 6 to rotate upward at 90 degrees and freeze. At the same time, the second rotating motor 5 rotates synchronously to the right, driving the first folding bracket 3 to rotate upward at 180 degrees and freeze. The first rotating motor 9 drives the steering assist camera 8 module group to rotate 90 degrees to the left and freeze, ensuring that the camera 8 remains horizontal with the ground.

[0027] When the driver completes the turn. Turn off the telescopic function of the steering assist camera 8 module group by pressing the control switch in the car again. Press the control switch for the second time, and the control switch will transmit a signal to the telescopic signal transmission. After the working motor receives the extension signal, the return actuator is started to drive the first rotary motor 9 to drive the steering assist camera 8 module group to rotate 90 degrees to the right and return to its position, ensuring that the camera 0 rotates to the left and drives the first folding bracket 3 to rotate 180 degrees upward and freeze. The third rotary motor 10 starts to rotate to the right, driving the second folding bracket 6 to rotate 90 degrees downward and freeze, and the telescopic platform is extended from the outside of the telescopic frame of the camera 8 to the inside.

[0028] The present invention is described above by way of example in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It is obvious that the specific implementation of the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned method. As long as various non-substantial improvements are made using the method concept and technical solution of the present invention, or the concept and technical solution of the present invention are directly applied to other occasions without improvement, they are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
