It is only necessary to set the lifting mechanism 100 of the camera 51 at a convenient position in the vehicle.

[0035] Among them, the lifting mechanism 100 is installed on the inner side of the vehicle body decorative panel 8, and the decorative panel decoration 81 is detachably installed at the avoidance opening 82, that is, when the decorative panel decoration 81 is installed at the avoidance opening 82, the camera 51 is hidden to the inner side of the vehicle body decorative panel 8; and when the decorative panel decoration 81 moves to the inner side of the vehicle body decorative panel 8, the camera seat 5 moves to the avoidance opening 82, and the camera 51 is installed on the camera seat 5, that is, the camera 51 extends out of the avoidance opening 82 and is exposed in the vehicle, so that the camera work can be carried out.

[0036] Furthermore, the mounting base 1 is located on the inner side of the vehicle body decorative panel 8, and a driving structure 2 is provided on the mounting base 1. The driving structure 2 is connected to the decorative panel decorative part 81 through the first connecting rod assembly 3, and the driving structure 2 is connected to the camera seat 5 through the second connecting rod assembly 4. The camera seat 5 is provided with a camera 51, that is, the driving structure 2 drives the first connecting rod assembly 3 and the second connecting rod assembly 4 to move, thereby changing the position of the camera 51 and the decorative panel decorative part 81 at the same time, that is, the driving structure 2 can drive the camera 51 and the decorative panel decorative part 81 to move at the same time. Figure 1 As shown, the drive structure 2 is Figure 1 When the trim plate driving member 21 rotates counterclockwise, the trim plate driving member 21 disengages from the avoidance opening 82, and the camera 51 extends out of the avoidance opening 82; when the camera 51 extends out of the avoidance opening 82, and the trim plate decorative member 81 is away from the avoidance opening 82 and hidden to the inner side of the vehicle body trim plate 8, that is, Figure 5 state, then the drive structure 2 is in Figure 5 By rotating clockwise in the state, the trim panel decorative member 81 can be moved to the avoidance opening 82, and the camera 51 is hidden to the inner side of the vehicle body trim panel 8.

[0037] Therefore, the embodiment of the utility model drives the first connecting rod assembly 3 to move through the driving structure 2 to drive the trim panel decorative part 81 to disengage from the avoidance opening 82, and at the same time, the driving structure 2 drives the second connecting rod assembly 4 to move to drive the camera 51 to extend out of the avoidance opening 82. The connecting rod mechanism can conveniently realize the simultaneous driving of the trim panel decorative part 81 and the camera 51 in different directions, and when the camera 51 is in use, the camera 51 is extended out of the vehicle body decorative panel 8, and when not in use, the camera 51 is hidden in the vehicle body decorative panel 8, giving customers a safe and beautiful feeling, and effectively protecting the privacy of passengers.

[0038] In some embodiments, the mounting base 1 includes a main slide groove 11, and the main slide groove 11 includes a continuous first groove section 111 and a second groove section 112; the first groove section 111 extends along a first direction, and the second groove section 112 is an arc-shaped groove and extends in a direction away from the avoidance opening 82 at the end of the first groove section 111. When the trim panel decorative member 81 moves away from the avoidance opening 82 under the drive of the first connecting rod assembly 3, the camera mount 5 moves along the second groove section 112 in a direction away from the avoidance opening 82, and as the trim panel decorative member 81 continues to move back to the first groove section 111 to move to the avoidance opening 82.

[0039] In practice, the first direction is Figure 1 In the vertical direction, the camera mount 5 connected to the camera 51 moves along the main slide groove 11 of the mounting base 1, and the main slide groove 11 has a guiding function on the camera mount 5, so that the camera mount 5 can drive the camera 51 to move along different directions, and the first groove section 111 is close to the position of the avoidance opening 82, and the second groove section 112 is farther away from the position of the avoidance opening 82 than the first groove section 111. By setting the first groove section 111 and the second groove section 112, when the camera mount 5 is slidably connected to the second groove section 112, it can better avoid the movement of the trim panel decorative part 81. When the camera mount 5 is slidably connected to the first groove section 111, the camera mount 5 can gradually approach the avoidance opening 82 to gradually make the camera 51 extend out of the avoidance opening 82.

[0040] Reference Figure 2 As shown, the height of the first slot section 111 of the main slot 11 is h1, and the height of the second slot section 112 in the vertical direction is h2. For example, h1 is 20 mm, h2 is 87 mm, and the radius corresponding to the arc length of the second slot section 112 is 100 mm. Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, Figure 1In the embodiment, the decorative plate decorative member 81 is connected to the position of the avoidance opening 82. At this time, the camera seat 5 and the camera 51 are hidden inside the vehicle body decorative plate 8. When the driving structure 2 drives the first connecting rod assembly 3 to Figure 1 The trim panel 81 along Figure 1 When the downward scissor head starts to move, that is, the decorative plate decorative member 81 starts to separate from the avoidance opening 82, and the decorative plate decorative member 81 moves vertically downward, and the camera seat 5 rotates counterclockwise along the second groove section 112 for a certain distance, that is, Figure 1 The rotating shear head in the middle rotates along the lower left, that is, when the decorative plate decorative member 81 starts to move downward from the avoidance opening 82, the camera seat 5 moves along Figure 1 The second groove section 112 rotates counterclockwise, which can better avoid the movement of the decorative panel decoration 81 and prevent interference between the decorative panel decoration 81 and the camera mount 5.

[0041] When the trim panel decorative member 81 moves downward vertically by about 20 mm, Figure 1 The status becomes Figure 3 state, while the camera seat 5 is Figure 1 Turn counterclockwise to Figure 3 As the drive structure 2 continues to rotate counterclockwise, that is, the decorative panel decorative member 81 moves downward 20mm, the decorative panel decorative member 81 begins to move along Figure 3 Gradually turn counterclockwise to Figure 4 position, and at the same time, the camera seat 5 moves along the second slot section 112 toward the first slot section 111 to a position close to the avoidance opening 82.

[0042] Figure 3 The rotating shear head on one side of the camera mount 5 indicates Figure 3 The next movement state of the camera seat 5 in the state, that is, from Figure 3 Exercise to Figure 4 At the same time, the rotating shear head below the trim 81 indicates Figure 3 The next movement state of the decorative plate decorative member 81, that is, the decorative plate decorative member 81 and the camera seat 5 are Figure 3 The state moves to Figure 4 Status; Figure 4 The camera seat 5 is slidably connected to the first slot section 111, and the camera seat 5 is close to the avoidance opening 82. As the driving structure 2 continues to rotate counterclockwise, Figure 4 The status becomes Figure 5 At this time, the camera holder 5 reaches the avoidance opening 82 and the camera 51 extends out of the avoidance opening 82, and the decorative plate decorative member 81 moves to Figure 5 The lower part of the mounting base 1; that is, from Figure 1 To Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5, showing the process of the camera holder 5 and the camera 51 initially hidden on the inner side of the vehicle body decorative panel 8 gradually extending out of the avoidance opening 82. At the same time, the decorative panel driving component 21 is initially installed in the avoidance opening 82 of the vehicle body decorative panel 8, and avoids the camera holder 5 and the camera 51 and moves away from the avoidance opening 82 during the movement.

[0043] Therefore, the second groove section 112 of the main slide groove 11 of the mounting base 1 allows the camera mount 5 to move to avoid the trim panel decoration 81, and the first groove section 111 allows the camera mount 5 to move toward the direction close to the avoidance opening 82 and the camera 51 to extend out of the avoidance opening 82; on the contrary, when the camera mount 5 moves from the avoidance opening 82 to the hidden part, the first groove section 111 provides a suitable movement space for the camera mount 5 to drive the camera 51 to leave the avoidance opening 82, and the second groove section 112 allows the camera mount 5 to move to a state where it has no influence on the trim panel decoration 81.

[0044] In some embodiments, the driving structure 2 includes a driving arm 22 and a driving member 21 , one end of the driving arm 22 is connected to the driving member 21 , and the other end is hinged to the second connecting rod assembly 4 , and the driving arm 22 is also hinged to the first connecting rod assembly 3 .

[0045] In practice, the driving member 21 of the driving structure 2 serves as a power source to control the movement of the driving arm 22 , and the rotation of the driving arm 22 drives the movement of the first connecting rod assembly 3 and the second connecting rod assembly 4 , thereby controlling the movement of the trim panel decoration 81 and the camera mount 5 .

[0046] Furthermore, the driving member 21 is a motor, and the driving shaft of the motor is poweredly connected to one end of the driving arm 22. The rotation of the motor drives the driving arm 22 to rotate. In actual design, the motor can be electrically connected to the control module of the vehicle, and the rotation of the motor can be electrically controlled to make the trim panel decoration 81 automatically leave the avoidance opening 82 and the camera mount 5 automatically extend out of the avoidance opening 82, thereby making the entire process easy to operate.

[0047] In some embodiments, the first link assembly 3 includes a first link 31, a second link 32 and a third link 33, one end of the first link 31 is connected to the driving arm 22 and the other end is movably connected to the second link 32, one end of the second link 32 is connected to the trim decorative member 81 and the other end is hinged to the mounting base 1, one end of the third link 33 is connected to the trim decorative member 81 and the other end is hinged to the mounting base 1.

[0048] That is to say, the first link 31 of the three links is movably connected to the driving arm 22, and the other second link 32 is movably connected to the first link 31, so that the driving arm 22 drives the first link 31 to move when it moves, and the first link 31 drives the second link 32 to move, one end of the second link 32 is connected to the trim panel decorative part 81 and the other end is movably connected to the mounting base 1, the second link 32 can drive the trim panel decorative part 81 to move when it moves, and the trim panel decorative part 81 is also connected to the third link 33, one end of the third link 33 is movably connected to the mounting base 1, and the other end is connected to the trim panel decorative part 81, when the second link 32 drives the trim panel decorative part 81 to move, the third link 33 supports the trim panel decorative part 81 during the movement of the trim panel decorative part 81, thereby, the first link assembly 3 can drive the trim panel decorative part 81 to move by the drive of the driving arm 22.

[0049] Further, see Figure 1 As shown, taking the initial state as an example, the end of the third link 33 connected to the mounting base 1 is located on the right side of the end of the second link 32 connected to the mounting base 1, and the end of the second link 32 connected to the trim panel decorative part 81 is located on the left side of the end of the third link 33 connected to the trim panel decorative part 81. The first link 31 is dynamically connected to the driving arm 22, so that the first link 31 can first drive the second link 32 to move and then drive the trim panel decorative part 81 to move, and the third link 33 moves with the movement of the trim panel decorative part 81, thereby achieving greater flexibility and stability in the process of the trim panel decorative part 81 being driven by the driving arm 22 and the first link 31 and the second link 32.

[0050] In some embodiments, the first connecting rod 31 is constructed as an arc rod, and one end of the arc rod extends toward the outside of the arc rod to form a first connecting portion 311, the first connecting portion 311 is provided with a first sliding groove 312, and the middle part of the second connecting rod 32 is provided with a second connecting portion 321, and the end of the second connecting portion 321 is movably connected in the first sliding groove 312.

[0051] In practice, by setting an arc rod, the arc rod can be driven by the driving arm 22 to rotate. When one end of the arc rod starts to move in a direction away from the avoidance opening 82 under the drive of the driving arm 22, it can drive the trim panel decorative part 81 to move downward. As the driving arm 22 continues to move, the arc rod gradually rotates, and when the trim panel decorative part 81 moves to the lowest position, the arc rod can avoid the driving part 21.

[0052] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, Figure 1The arc rod is located on the outside of the driving member 21. As the driving arm 22 rotates counterclockwise, the arc rod begins to move downward and rotates at the same time, and finally the driving member 21 is located inside the arc rod. That is to say, by setting the arc rod, the entire first connecting rod assembly 3 can move normally during the rotation process and avoid the driving member 21 connected to the mounting base 1, while making the flexibility of the entire drive higher.

[0053] Continue to refer to Figure 1 As shown, one end of the arc rod close to the second connecting rod 32 extends toward the direction away from the center of the arc rod to form a first connecting portion 311, the first connecting portion 311 is provided with a first sliding groove 312, the middle part of the second connecting rod 32 is provided with a second connecting portion 321, and the second connecting portion 321 is provided with a connecting pin on the side facing the first sliding groove 312, and the connecting pin is movably connected in the first sliding groove 312, thereby maintaining the movable cooperation between the first connecting rod 31 and the second connecting rod 32, so that the first connecting rod 31 drives the second connecting rod 32 to move more flexibly.

[0054] In some embodiments, the second link assembly 4 includes a fourth link 41, a fifth link 42 and a sixth link 43; one end of the sixth link 43 is movably connected to the camera mount 5, and the other end is rotationally connected to one end of the fifth link 42 through a movable shaft 6, the other end of the fifth link 42 is hinged to the mounting base 1, one end of the fourth link 41 is hinged to the driving arm 22 and the other end is movably hinged to the movable shaft 6.

[0055] In practice, the fourth link 41 is power-connected to the driving arm 22, and the movement of the driving arm 22 drives the fourth link 41 to move, thereby driving the fifth link 42 and the sixth link 43 to move. The sixth link 43 maintains sliding cooperation with the main slide groove 11 during the movement, so that the camera seat 5 moves along the main slide groove 11, and then the camera seat 5 drives the camera 51 to move along a predetermined trajectory until it extends out of the avoidance opening 82 or hides from the avoidance opening 82 to the inner side of the vehicle body decorative panel 8.

[0056] Specifically, the camera mount 5 is provided with a third slide groove 54, and one end of the sixth link 43 is movably connected to the third slide groove 54 through a sliding pin 431, and the sliding pin 431 contacts the inner wall surface of the third slide groove 54 away from the camera 51, the sixth link 43 and the fifth link 42 are movably connected through a movable shaft 6, the other end of the fifth link 42 is also connected to the mounting base 1, and the fourth link 41 is provided with a fourth slide groove 411, and the movable shaft 6 rotatably connects the fifth link 42 and the sixth link 43 while also extending into the fourth slide groove 411 of the fourth link 41, so that when the fourth link 41 moves, it can drive the movable shaft 6 to move, and then drive the fifth link 42 and the sixth link 43 to move, so that the sliding pin 431 at the end of the sixth link 43 slides along the main slide groove 11 of the mounting base 1, thereby driving the camera mount 5 and the camera 51 to move to a suitable position.

[0057] In some embodiments, the camera mount 5 is further provided with a second slide groove 52 , and the second slide groove 52 is movably connected to a seventh connecting rod 7 , and one end of the seventh connecting rod 7 extends along the second slide groove 52 and is movably connected to the mounting base 1 .

[0058] In practice, the second slide groove 52 extends along the height direction of the camera mount 5, the seventh connecting rod 7 partially extends into the second slide groove 52, and partially is located outside the second slide groove 52, and the part of the seventh connecting rod 7 extending outside the second slide groove 52 is movably connected to the mounting base 1, so that when the entire camera mount 5 is transformed between the hidden state and the extended state, the seventh connecting rod 7 is always movably supported on the camera mount 5.

[0059] Specifically, in the initial state, one end of the seventh connecting rod 7 is pressed against the top of the second sliding groove 52. When the camera seat 5 is transformed from the hidden state to the extended state, when the camera seat 5 moves along the second groove section 112 toward Figure 1 When you slide the lower left corner of Figure 1 The state is transformed into Figure 3 At this time, the seventh connecting rod 7 is separated from the top of the second sliding groove 52 by a distance, and as the camera seat 5 moves along Figure 3 When the seventh connecting rod 7 rotates toward the upper right of the second slot section 112, it is pressed against the top of the second slide slot 52, that is, Figure 4 With the status of Figures 4 to 5 The camera seat 5 moves from one end close to the avoidance opening 82 to drive the camera 51 to extend out of the avoidance opening 82, and the seventh connecting rod 7 is separated from the top of the second slide groove 52 by a certain distance. Therefore, the seventh connecting rod 7 is always used to support the camera seat 5 during the movement of the camera seat 5 to prevent the camera seat 5 from shaking, and the seventh connecting rod 7 can move along the second slide groove 52 within a certain range, so that the camera seat 5 can flexibly move along a predetermined trajectory under different conditions.

[0060] In some embodiments, the mounting base 1 is connected to a first reinforcing plate 12, the first reinforcing plate 12 is provided with a groove 121, one end of the seventh connecting rod 7 is hinged to the first reinforcing plate 12 in the groove 121, and the ends of some connecting rods in the second connecting rod assembly 4 are connected to the first reinforcing plate 12.

[0061] In practice, the first reinforcing plate 12 is fixedly connected to the mounting base 1, and the groove 121 limits the range of rotation of the seventh connecting rod 7 with the rotation of the camera mount 5.
