It should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "length", "width", "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, which is only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present application. The terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Thus, the features defined as "first" and "second" can explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present application, the meaning of "multiple" and "several" is two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0026] Please also read Figures 1 to 3, the blind spot detection camera mounting bracket provided by the utility model is now described. The blind spot detection camera mounting bracket includes a fixing seat 10, a camera mounting frame 20, and a protective cover 30; wherein the fixing seat 10 is used to be fixedly connected to the side of the rear part of the vehicle; the camera mounting frame 20 is detachably connected to the fixing seat 10, and the camera mounting frame 20 has a mounting cavity 200 suitable for accommodating and fixing the blind spot camera 60, and the mounting cavity 200 is open to the side in front of the vehicle; the protective cover 30 is used to be fixedly connected to the side of the rear part of the vehicle, and is located directly above the camera mounting frame 20, and the protective cover 30 has an inclined shielding surface 31 suitable for shielding the camera mounting frame 20 as a whole from top to bottom.

[0027] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the fixing base 10 and the protective cover 30 can be fixed to the side of the rear part of the vehicle by welding, or can be fixed to the side of the rear part of the vehicle by screwing or riveting. Considering the connection strength and stability, welding can be used as the preferred method. The detachable connection between the camera mounting frame 20 and the fixing base 10 can be specifically fixed by screwing with bolts.

[0028] It should be understood that the purpose of providing the fixing seat 10 here is to create a certain distance between the camera mounting frame 20 and the side of the rear part of the car, ensuring that the field of view of the blind spot camera 60 fixed in the mounting cavity 200 is not blocked by the convex rib structure on the side of the car. Based on this requirement, the height of the fixing seat 10 protruding from the side of the car should be determined according to actual needs (the height of the convex rib on the side of the car). Specifically, a transition frame 40 or a pad for auxiliary height increase can be provided on the fixing seat 10. By adjusting the number of transition frames 40 or pads, the distance between the camera mounting frame 20 and the lateral side can be adjusted to meet the installation requirements of different car structures.

[0029] Compared with the prior art, the blind spot detection camera mounting bracket provided in the present embodiment has a fixing base 10 fixedly connected to the side of the rear end of the vehicle, a camera mounting frame 20 connected to the fixing base 10, and a blind spot camera 60 fixed in the mounting cavity 200 of the camera mounting frame 20 to avoid exposure of the blind spot camera 60. On this basis, the camera mounting frame 20 can be protected by the protective cover 30 directly above the camera mounting frame 20, and falling materials can be blocked by the inclined shielding surface 31 of the protective cover 30 to avoid the camera mounting frame 20. Thus, the protective cover 30 and the camera mounting frame 20 form double protection for the blind spot camera 60, thereby improving the protection effect, preventing the blind spot camera 60 from being hit or smashed, and further improving the stability and long-term use of the blind spot detection camera.

[0030] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 and Figure 3The fixing seat 10 is detachably connected with a transition frame 40, and the camera mounting frame 20 is detachably connected to the transition frame 40. By setting the transition frame 40, the distance between the camera mounting frame 20 and the side of the carriage can be increased, thereby preventing the convex ribs on the side of the carriage from blocking the field of view of the blind spot camera 60.

[0031] It should be understood here that the transition rack 40 can be a component of multiple specifications, and a transition rack 40 with corresponding lateral support dimensions can be selected according to the different installation position requirements of the blind spot camera 60; the transition rack 40 can also be of a single specification, and the number of transition racks 40 can be adjusted to meet the most suitable support dimensions required by the camera mounting frame 20.

[0032] As a specific implementation of the above transition frame 40, please refer to Figure 3 The transition frame 40 is provided with a first connecting surface 41 and a second connecting surface 42 spaced apart along the width direction of the vehicle body, the first connecting surface 41 is provided with a plurality of first connecting holes 411, the second connecting surface 42 is provided with a plurality of second connecting holes 421, and each second connecting hole 421 corresponds to each first connecting hole 411 one by one; wherein the first connecting surface 41 is screwed and fixed to the fixing seat 10 based on each first connecting hole 411, and the second connecting surface 42 is screwed and fixed to the camera mounting frame 20 based on each second connecting hole 421.

[0033] It can be understood here that the transition frame 40 is a square sleeve type or a door-type structure with L-shaped bends at both ends, thereby forming a first connecting surface 41 that can be fitted with the fixing base 10, and a second connecting surface 42 that can be fitted with the camera mounting frame 20. On this basis, the transition frame 40 is screwed and fixed to the fixing base 10 through fasteners such as bolts passing through each first connecting hole 411, and is screwed and fixed to the camera mounting frame 20 through fasteners such as bolts passing through each second connecting hole 421. The connection method is simple and stable, and it is convenient to disassemble, replace, or increase or decrease the transition frame 40.

[0034] It should be noted that see Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, a threading tube 50 is provided on the fixing seat 10 or the transition frame 40, and threading holes 400 are provided on the transition frame 40 and the cavity wall of the installation cavity 200. The wire harness of the blind spot camera 60 can pass through the installation cavity 200 through the threading hole 400, and then be collected on the wiring path of the vehicle compartment under the protection of the threading tube 50, which can avoid the situation where the wire harness is exposed and worn and broken, and improve the working stability of the blind spot camera 60.

[0035] In some other embodiments, see Figure 1The camera mounting frame 20 is provided with a threading tube 50, one end of which is connected to the mounting cavity 200, and the other end of which extends downward. This situation is suitable for when the height of the ribs on the side of the carriage is low and the transition frame 40 is not required. At this time, the camera mounting frame 20 is directly connected to the fixing seat 10, so the distance between the camera mounting frame 20 and the side of the carriage is small, so the threading tube 50 can be directly set on the camera mounting frame 20 to communicate with the mounting cavity 200, thereby simplifying the overall threading path.

[0036] For some possible implementations, please combine Figures 1 to 3 It is understood that the fixing base 10 is provided with a plurality of third connection holes 11, and the camera mounting frame 20 is provided with a plurality of fourth connection holes 211, and the camera mounting frame 20 and the fixing base 10 are screwed and fixed based on the one-to-one corresponding fourth connection holes 211 and the third connection holes 11. In the case where the camera mounting frame 20 is directly connected to the fixing base 10, the camera mounting frame 20 can be placed against the fixing base 10, and then fasteners such as bolts are passed through the first connection holes 411 and the second connection holes 421 that are aligned one by one for screwing and fixing. The fixing method is simple, reliable, and convenient for assembly and disassembly.

[0037] It should be understood that in the case where a transition frame 40 needs to be installed between the camera mounting frame 20 and the fixing base 10, the first connecting surface 41 of the transition frame 40 is abutted against the fixing base 10, and fasteners such as bolts are passed through the aligned first connecting holes 411 and the third connecting holes 11 to be screwed and fixed. Then, the camera mounting frame 20 is abutted against the second connecting surface 42, and fasteners such as bolts are passed through the aligned fourth connecting holes 211 and the second connecting holes 421 to be screwed and fixed. Of course, the number of transition frames 40 is not limited to one. If two or more transition frames 40 are required, the first connecting surface 41 and the second connecting surface 42 between adjacent transitions are fitted together, and then fasteners such as bolts are passed through the aligned first connecting holes 411 and the second connecting holes 421 to be screwed and fixed to achieve the connection between the two transition frames 40. The connection method is simple and reliable, and it is convenient to disassemble and assemble the camera mounting frame 20 to adjust the position of the blind spot camera 60.

[0038] In some embodiments, in combination Figure 1 and Figure 2It is understood that the protective cover 30 includes two triangular plates 32 and inclined shielding surfaces 31 respectively connected to the hypotenuses of the two triangular plates 32; wherein the length of one of the right-angled sides of the triangular plates 32 is greater than the length of the other right-angled side thereof. Here, the two triangular plates 32 are both non-isosceles right-angle structures, and the two triangular plates 32 are equivalent to the two opposite sides of the protective cover 30. When the height of the convex ribs on the side of the car is low and there is no need to add a transition frame 40, the long right-angle sides of the two triangular plates 32 can be welded and fixed to the side of the car. In this way, the inclination angle of the inclined shielding surface 31 can be increased on the basis of the inclined shielding surface 31 completely shielding the camera mounting frame 20, which is not only beneficial to reduce the impact force of falling objects on the inclined shielding surface 31, but also can avoid materials falling onto the inclined shielding surface 31 as much as possible; when the height of the convex ribs on the side of the car is high and a transition frame 40 is required, in order to ensure that the inclined shielding surface 31 can completely shield the camera mounting frame 20, the short right-angle sides of the triangular plates 32 can be selected to be welded and fixed to the side of the car. In this way, the shielding area of ​​the inclined shielding surface 31 in the vertical direction can be increased, thereby forming a shielding protection for the camera mounting frame 20, and the versatility is good.

[0039] Alternatively, see Figure 3 In this embodiment, the structure of the camera mounting frame 20 is as follows: the camera mounting frame 20 includes a shell 21 and a connecting plate 22; wherein the shell 21 is detachably connected to the fixing seat 10, and forms a mounting cavity 200 with the side wall of the fixing seat 10; the connecting plate 22 is clamped between the shell 21 and the fixing seat 10, and one end of the connecting plate 22 is inclined to extend into the mounting cavity 200 to form a mounting surface 221, and the mounting surface 221 is used to fix the blind spot camera 60. The use of a split structure of the shell 21 and the connecting plate 22 can reduce the difficulty of processing and manufacturing, and it is also convenient to adjust the relative position of the connecting plate 22 and the shell 21, thereby adjusting the position of the blind spot camera 60 in the mounting cavity 200 and improving the installation flexibility.

[0040] It should be understood that in this embodiment, the fixing seat 10 and the protective cover 30 are both welded and fixed to the side of the rear part of the vehicle. Compared with the screwing or riveting method, the welding method is more stable and reliable, which can improve the connection strength and anti-smashing and anti-collision performance, thereby improving the protection effect of the blind spot camera 60.

[0041] Based on the same inventive concept, an embodiment of the present application also provides a commercial vehicle, including the above-mentioned blind spot detection camera mounting bracket.

[0042] Compared with the prior art, the commercial vehicle provided in this embodiment adopts the above-mentioned blind spot detection camera mounting bracket, and can use the mounting cavity 200 and the protective cover 30 set on the camera mounting frame 20 to jointly form double protection for the blind spot camera 60, thereby improving the protection effect, preventing the blind spot camera 60 from being hit or smashed, and further improving the stability and long-term use of the blind spot detection camera.

[0043] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
