[0033] As a further improvement to Example 1, Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, each camera module 1 is provided with a buckle assembly 3, and two adjacent camera modules 1 are detachably connected via the buckle assembly 3.

[0034] In this embodiment, multiple camera modules 1 are connected via a snap assembly 3 to facilitate installation and disassembly.

[0035] Specifically, the buckle assembly 3 is arranged on a side of the camera module 1 that is away from the lens of the camera module.

[0039] In this embodiment, by providing a shielding cover 4 on the top of the camera module 1, the camera module 1 can be shielded to prevent it from being wetted by rain and exposed to the sun, which would affect its service life and use effect.

[0040] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, in a specific embodiment, it further includes a plurality of support boxes 5, each group of support boxes 5 corresponds to a group of camera modules 1 arranged on the top of the car roof, suitable for cooperating with the shielding cover 4 to store the camera module 1; the top opening of the support box 5 is set, and the telescopic rod 2 is hinged to the inner bottom of the support box 5.

[0041] It should be noted that the bottom area of ​​the shielding cover is greater than or equal to the opening area of ​​the supporting box.

[0042] In this embodiment, by providing a support box 5, the telescopic rod 2 is connected to the car roof through the support box 5, thereby improving the supporting strength of the connection of the telescopic rod 2 and improving stability. At the same time, the telescopic rod 2 can be retracted to store the camera module 1 into the support box 5, and the opening of the support box 5 is sealed with the shielding cover 4. When the camera module 1 is not in use, it can be stored to prevent wind, rain and sun exposure, thereby improving the service life.

[0043] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, in a specific embodiment, the telescopic rod 2 is an electric telescopic rod.

[0044] In this embodiment, the telescopic rod 2 is an electric telescopic rod, which is convenient for adjustment and saves time and effort.

[0045] Specifically, the electric telescopic rod is communicatively connected with the vehicle computer system, which facilitates adjustment in the vehicle and improves the intelligence level of the adjustment.

[0046] Based on the above implementation, in a specific implementation, as Figure 2 As shown, the number of camera modules 1 is set to four, and the four camera modules 1 are evenly distributed on the roof of the car.

[0047] In this embodiment, by arranging camera modules 1 at four positions on the car roof, a full range of surrounding environment is provided for the car to ensure driving safety. Preferably, four groups of camera modules 1 are arranged at the four corners of the car roof.

[0048] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, in a specific embodiment, the telescopic rod 2 is connected to the camera module 1 via a first spherical universal joint.

[0052] Specifically, both the first spherical universal joint and the second spherical universal joint are adjustable spherical universal joints, that is, they can be locked after the corresponding positions are adjusted to avoid shaking and improve stability.

[0053] Specifically, the camera module 1 can use an ADAS camera and combine it with existing algorithms to generate a more three-dimensional and intuitive real-time vehicle-surrounding scene.

[0054] The specific working principle of the automobile auxiliary driving device provided in this embodiment is as follows: by arranging multiple camera modules 1 around the top cover of the automobile, a more intuitive and three-dimensional real-time scene around the vehicle is generated by camera recording, so as to provide the automobile with a wider field of vision. At the same time, the height of the camera module 1 can be adjusted according to the actual situation by controlling the electric telescopic rod according to the vehicle speed through the vehicle system, so as to provide the automobile with a field of vision of different degrees of openness. The automobile auxiliary driving device provided in this embodiment can be applied to a variety of application scenarios. When driving at high speed, in order to prevent the camera module 1 from shaking due to the influence of wind speed and bumps, the multiple camera modules 1 can be cross-extended through the telescopic rod 2 and then passed through the arc block 30. The arc-shaped elastic members 302 on 1 are connected together to form a circular structure, which improves stability and service life while reducing the height. When driving at low speed and on a smooth road, multiple camera modules 1 can be disassembled to adjust their own vertical extension and retraction, and the height of the camera module 1 can be increased to provide a wider field of view and ensure driving safety. Its application scenarios are more extensive. Through multiple camera modules 1, it can be applied to narrow terrains such as reversing and entering a basement, and can also provide a wider field of view during normal driving to improve driving safety. At the same time, combined with the existing algorithm, the number of cameras used is reduced, and the openness of the field of view is also guaranteed. The technical problem that the existing vehicle-mounted camera is fixedly set on the vehicle body, the field of view provided is small, and it is difficult to grasp the distance during driving is solved.
