[0025] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the following exemplary embodiments and descriptions are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. In addition, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present invention may be combined with each other without conflict.

[0026] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, an optional embodiment of the utility model provides a bracket A for a vehicle-mounted camera B, comprising:

[0027] A base 1 having a receiving cavity 10 for receiving a vehicle-mounted camera B, one side of the base 1 being provided with an installation opening for the vehicle-mounted camera B to enter and exit the receiving cavity 10, and a supporting portion 13 for supporting and positioning the vehicle-mounted camera B is further provided inside the receiving cavity 10; and

[0028] The locking spring piece 3 is assembled on the outside of the mounting port of the base 1 to position the vehicle-mounted camera B in the accommodating cavity 10. The locking spring piece 3 includes a limiting substrate 31 for pressing and positioning the vehicle-mounted camera B with the inner side surface and elastic hooks 33 correspondingly bent from the opposite ends of the limiting substrate 31 and extending to the outside of the opposite side walls of the base 1. The opposite side walls of the base 1 are respectively provided with hook portions 15 that hook and cooperate with the elastic hooks 33 to fix the locking spring piece 3.

[0029] The bracket A, base 1 and locking spring piece 3 provided in the embodiment of the utility model are effectively connected and fixed by the corresponding hook portion 15 and the elastic hook 33, and the limiting substrate 31 of the locking spring piece 3 effectively presses the vehicle-mounted camera B placed in the accommodating cavity 10 of the base 1, and at the same time cooperates with the support portion 13 set inside the accommodating cavity 10 to support and position the vehicle-mounted camera B, so that the vehicle-mounted camera B can be quickly and effectively stored and positioned in the bracket A, which is convenient for the subsequent assembly operation of the vehicle-mounted camera B to the vehicle body, and can effectively improve the installation efficiency of the vehicle-mounted camera B. In specific implementation, the base 1 can also be reused as a corresponding cavity structure set on the motor vehicle, and the installation process is more convenient.

[0030] In another embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the elastic hook 33 includes an elastic arm 331 connected to the corresponding end of the limiting substrate 31 and a hook portion 333 arranged at the end of the elastic arm 331. The elastic buckle of this embodiment is provided with the elastic arm 331 and the hook portion 333, so that the user can press the elastic arm 331 to further drive the hook portion 333 to pass over the hook portion 15 and hook on the hook portion 15, which is conducive to increasing the pressure of the limiting substrate 31 on the vehicle-mounted camera B, so as to improve the fixing effect of the vehicle-mounted camera B. In specific implementation, as Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the elastic arm 331 may be in a curved arc shape to enhance elastic deformation capability.

[0031] In another embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the hook portion 15 is a shrinking slot and the hole wall adjacent to the installation port is a stepped surface or inclined surface adjacent to the outer hole side and lower than the other side. The hook portion 333 passes over the narrow part of the shrinking slot near the outer hole side and hooks on the stepped surface or inclined surface. The hook portion 15 of this embodiment is specifically set as a shrinking slot, which facilitates the hook portion 333 to smoothly pass over the narrow part of the shrinking slot near the outer hole side and hook on the stepped surface or inclined surface, and the stepped surface or inclined surface is also conducive to forming an effective support and positioning for the hook portion 333, preventing the hook portion 333 from slipping out of the shrinking slot again, and the assembly stability is good. In specific implementation, the shrinking slot can be a stepped hole (the corresponding hole wall is a stepped surface) or a trapezoidal hole (the corresponding hole wall is an inclined surface), etc. When the shrinking slot is a stepped surface, the steps are connected by a circular arc surface transition.

[0032] In another embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 5As shown, the hook portion 333 is formed by bending from the end edge of the elastic arm 331 and extending in the opposite direction parallel to the end portion of the elastic arm 331. The hook portion 333 of this embodiment is formed by bending from the end edge of the elastic arm 331 and extending in the opposite direction parallel to the end portion of the elastic arm 331, and is generally arranged in a U shape with the end portion of the elastic arm 331. The structural design is relatively simple and can be effectively hooked on the hook portion 15.

[0033] In another embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the side wall of the base 1 provided with the hook portion 15 is also provided with a limiting groove 16 extending from the installation opening to the hook portion 15, and the elastic arm 331 of each elastic hook 33 is also correspondingly clamped in the limiting groove 16. In this embodiment, a limiting groove 16 is further provided on the side wall of the base 1 so as to limit the elastic hook 33 in the hook-fitting with the hook portion 15, thereby preventing the elastic hook 33 from being offset during the assembly process and failing to quickly form a hook-fitting with the hook portion 15, thereby effectively improving the assembly efficiency. In a specific implementation, the limiting groove 16 can be formed by directly being recessed on the corresponding side wall of the base 1, or it can be formed as shown in FIG. Figure 1-Figure 3 In the illustrated embodiment, the limiting groove 16 is formed by arranging two protruding parallel convex strips on the corresponding side walls of the base 1 .

[0034] In another embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, one end of the limiting groove 16 adjacent to the installation opening is provided with a guiding inclined surface 17 or a guiding arc surface for guiding the elastic arm 331 to elastically expand outward. In this embodiment, by providing a guiding inclined surface 17 or a guiding arc surface at one end of the limiting groove 16, it can be ensured that the elastic arm 331 enters the limiting groove 16 and opens smoothly, and the assembly process is smoother.

[0035] In another embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the limiting substrate 31 is also provided with at least one reinforcing rib 114 and a avoiding notch 315 for avoiding the corresponding protruding structure on the side surface of the vehicle-mounted camera B facing the installation port. In this embodiment, by providing at least one reinforcing rib 114 on the limiting substrate 31, the structural strength of the limiting substrate 31 can be improved; in addition, the limiting substrate 31 is also provided with a avoiding notch 315 for avoiding the corresponding protruding structure on the side surface of the vehicle-mounted camera B facing the installation port, which can effectively avoid the interference of the protruding structure on the vehicle-mounted camera B on the assembly operation of the lock spring 3.

[0036] In another embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 5As shown, the lock buckle spring piece 3 is formed by integrally stamping a metal plate. The lock buckle spring piece 3 of this embodiment is formed by integrally stamping a metal plate, which can improve the strength and durability of the overall structure of the lock buckle spring piece 3.

[0037] In another embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the support portion 13 includes a bottom support boss 136 disposed on a side wall of the accommodating cavity 10 opposite to the mounting port and protruding toward the mounting port, and a positioning convex strip 138 disposed on a side wall of the accommodating cavity 10 adjacent to the mounting port to position the vehicle-mounted camera B from the side, and a lens hole 106 for exposing the lens of the vehicle-mounted camera B is also provided on one wall of the accommodating cavity 10. The support portion of this embodiment can position the bottom and circumferential positioning of the vehicle-mounted camera B respectively by providing the bottom support boss 136 and the positioning convex strip 138, which can effectively improve the positioning accuracy; and the lens hole 106 for exposing the lens of the vehicle-mounted camera B is also provided on a side wall of the accommodating cavity 10, so that the lens can be exposed to shoot external images.

[0038] The specific operation of using the bracket A for vehicle-mounted cameras provided by the embodiment of the utility model to accommodate and position the vehicle-mounted camera B is as follows: the vehicle-mounted camera B is placed into the accommodating cavity 10 in the base 1 through the installation opening with the lens facing the lens hole 106, and the bottom support boss 136 and the positioning convex strip 138 on the cavity wall of the accommodating cavity 10 respectively position the bottom wall and the circumference of the vehicle-mounted camera B; then, the elastic hook 33 of the lock spring 3 is installed from the end close to the installation opening into the limiting grooves 16 on both sides of the base 1 (such as Figure 4 and then press the elastic arms 331 on both sides to further push the hook portion 333 to hook and fix it on the hook portion 15 (as shown); Figure 5 As shown), at this time, the limiting substrate 31 of the lock spring 3 is also tightly pressed against the vehicle-mounted camera B in the accommodating cavity 10, thereby realizing the storage and positioning of the vehicle-mounted camera B.

[0039] The specific operation process of removing the vehicle camera B from the bracket A is as follows: press the elastic arms 331 on both sides and use a tool to pry the hook portion 333 out of the hook portion 15 to remove the lock spring 3, and finally, take out the vehicle camera B in the accommodating cavity 10 of the base 1.

[0040] On the other hand, Figure 6As shown, the embodiment of the utility model further provides a vehicle-mounted camera set assembly, including a bracket A and a vehicle-mounted camera B assembled on the bracket A, wherein the bracket A is a bracket for the vehicle-mounted camera B as described in any of the above embodiments. In this embodiment, the bracket A for the vehicle-mounted camera B described in any of the above embodiments is used to form a set assembly with the vehicle-mounted camera B, which is conducive to quickly and effectively using the bracket A to store and position the vehicle-mounted camera B, and effectively improves the installation efficiency of the vehicle-mounted camera B.
