Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of vehicle-mounted camera protection brackets, in particular to a protection bracket and a protection shell. Background Art

[0002] The vehicle's front-view camera is generally installed on the inside of the windshield through a camera bracket. Cameras designed for different car models usually have high-end and low-end versions. In order to improve the adaptability and competitiveness of bracket products, existing camera brackets are usually compatible with high-end and low-end versions.

[0003] To achieve higher resolution, better heat dissipation, and improved structural strength, the high-end camera versions have undergone continuous iterations and upgrades. The second-generation commercial vehicle front-view camera has a significantly different appearance from the first-generation. Compared to the first-generation commercial vehicle front-view camera, the second-generation commercial vehicle front-view camera eliminates the slot at the bottom of the camera and the two abutment blocks on the front, and instead adds multiple ribs. This makes existing camera brackets incompatible with this new generation of camera products.

[0004] Adapting the internal circuit board of a second-generation commercial vehicle front-view camera to fit an existing camera bracket would require additional DV and PV testing, undoubtedly increasing R&D costs. Designing a new camera bracket specifically for the second-generation commercial vehicle front-view camera would hinder parts management. Furthermore, since it is incompatible with existing cameras, users are more likely to make assembly errors, leading to increased parts costs. Utility Model Content

[0005] Since the existing vehicle-mounted camera protection bracket is difficult to be compatible with and install the new and old generations of cameras with different appearances, it is necessary to provide a protection bracket and a protective case.

[0006] A protective bracket for fixing a first camera or a second camera, comprising:

[0007] Mounting plate;

[0008] a pressing buckle, the pressing buckle being fixedly connected to the mounting plate, the pressing buckle having a first pressing surface for pressing the first camera or the second camera toward the mounting plate and a second pressing surface for pressing the bottom edge of the first camera or the second camera;

[0009] a first limiting assembly, the first limiting assembly being spaced apart along a first direction on one side of the pressing buckle, the first limiting assembly having a limiting sliding groove extending along the first direction and configured to accommodate a side boss of the first camera, and the first limiting assembly further having a first stopping surface configured to stop the first camera in a direction opposite to the first direction; and

[0010] A second limiting component is arranged at intervals on one side of the pressing buckle along the first direction, and the second limiting component has a guide surface for abutting the side of the second camera, a clamping groove located on the side of the guide surface close to the mounting plate and used to clamp the second camera, and a second stopping surface for stopping the second camera in the opposite direction of the first direction.

[0011] This configuration allows the protective bracket to be compatible with both existing cameras, reducing parts management costs. Users can freely choose between two assembly methods, providing flexibility and enhancing product competitiveness. The first camera can be secured to the protective bracket via a sliding snap-fit ​​mechanism, while the second camera can be snapped onto the bracket via a flip-and-press mechanism. This facilitates distinguishing between the old and new cameras during assembly, preventing assembly errors caused by using the wrong protective bracket, and thus reducing product management costs for users. Furthermore, since there's no need to redesign the camera's internal structure to accommodate the existing protective bracket, the development cycle and costs of the protective bracket are shortened.

[0012] In one embodiment, the first limiting assembly includes a first stopping buckle providing the first stopping surface and a pair of limiting buckles spaced apart and arranged on the mounting plate along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction;

[0013] The limiting buckle has a first limiting surface facing away from the mounting plate and a second limiting surface facing the mounting plate, and the second limiting surface extends from the side of the first limiting surface close to the pressing buckle along the first direction and away from the first limiting surface to form the limiting sliding groove.

[0014] With such a configuration, the slot of the limiting slide is larger, making it easier for the side boss of the first camera to be inserted.

[0015] In one embodiment, the limiting buckle further includes a third limiting surface facing the other limiting buckle, and the third limiting surface intersects the first limiting surface and the second limiting surface.

[0016] With such arrangement, the third limiting surface forms a stop for the first camera along the second direction, thereby preventing the first camera from shaking along the second direction, thereby improving the installation stability of the first camera.

[0017] In one embodiment, the first stop buckle includes a connecting portion connected to the mounting plate and a stop portion extending from the connecting portion in the opposite direction of the first direction, and the stop portion is provided with the first pressing surface and is used to elastically abut against the protrusion on the back of the first camera.

[0018] In this way, when the first camera slides in the opposite direction of the first direction, the stop portion is blocked by the protrusion and forced to deform to make way for the sliding of the protrusion. When the protrusion reaches the first stop surface of the stop portion, the stop portion rebounds and abuts against the protrusion in the opposite direction of the first direction, thereby preventing the first camera from accidentally loosening along the first direction.

[0019] In one embodiment, the stop portion extends obliquely away from the mounting plate in a direction opposite to the first direction.

[0020] With such a configuration, when the first camera is subjected to a pulling force along the first direction, the stop portion is not only used to press the first camera in the opposite direction of the first direction, but the first stop surface of the stop portion will press the back of the first camera, thereby ensuring that the first stop surface is stably in contact with the protrusion, thereby increasing the stability of the connection between the first camera and the protective bracket.

[0021] In one embodiment, the second limiting assembly includes a second stop buckle providing the second stop surface and a pair of elastic buckles arranged at intervals along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, and the guide surface is located on the side of the elastic buckle facing the other elastic buckle.

[0022] With this arrangement, the two elastic buckles increase elastic deformation, making it easier for the side edge of the second camera to slide into the snap-in slot along the guide surface.

[0023] In one embodiment, the guide surface gradually approaches the mounting plate along a direction approaching another elastic buckle.

[0024] With this arrangement, when the side of the second camera presses against the guide surface, the guide surface is simultaneously stretched open, thereby simplifying the assembly steps.

[0025] In one embodiment, the pressing buckles are in pairs and are spaced apart on the mounting plate along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction.

[0026] Such a configuration is beneficial to further improve the stability of the bottom edge installation of the first camera or the second camera.

[0027] In one embodiment, the pressing buckle further has a third pressing surface facing the other pressing buckle, and the third pressing surface is used to abut against the side of the first camera or the side of the second camera.

[0028] This arrangement prevents the bottom edge of the first camera or the second camera from falling out along the second direction, further improving the installation stability of the first camera or the second camera.

[0029] The present application also provides a protective case, comprising:

[0030] housing; and

[0031] As in the above-mentioned protection bracket, the cover shell is mounted on the mounting plate of the protection bracket, and the cover shell covers the pressing buckle, the first limiting component and the second limiting component of the protection bracket.

[0032] With such arrangement, the cover shell is not only used to shield dust and moisture but also forms a box structure with the protective bracket, which is beneficial to increase the structural strength of the protective bracket and the protective shell. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0057] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the following detailed description of specific embodiments of the present invention is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The following description sets forth many specific details to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention can be implemented in many other ways than those described herein, and those skilled in the art may make similar modifications without departing from the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0059] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of the technical features being referred to. Thus, a feature specified as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one such feature. In the description of this utility model, "plurality" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0063] The vehicle's front-view camera is generally installed on the inside of the windshield through a camera bracket. Cameras designed for different car models usually have high-end and low-end versions. In order to improve the adaptability and competitiveness of bracket products, existing camera brackets are usually compatible with high-end and low-end versions.

[0064] In order to achieve higher resolution, better heat dissipation and improved structural strength, the high-end version of the camera has been continuously upgraded. The appearance of the second-generation commercial vehicle front-view camera is quite different from that of the first-generation commercial vehicle front-view camera. Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 This is a structural diagram of a first camera 1P involved in this application. The first camera 1P represents the first generation of commercial vehicle-mounted front-view cameras and other low-profile cameras. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a second camera 2P involved in this application. This second camera 2P represents a second-generation commercial vehicle-mounted forward-looking camera. Compared to the first-generation commercial vehicle-mounted forward-looking camera, the second-generation commercial vehicle-mounted forward-looking camera eliminates the slot at the bottom of the camera and the two abutment blocks on the front, and adds multiple ribs 21P and two positioning feet 22P on the bottom edge. This makes existing camera brackets incompatible with this new generation of camera products.

[0065] Modifying the circuit board inside the second-generation commercial vehicle front-view camera to fit the existing camera bracket would require additional DV and PV testing, undoubtedly increasing R&D costs. Designing a new camera bracket specifically for this second-generation commercial vehicle front-view camera would hinder parts management. Furthermore, since it is incompatible with other existing cameras, users are prone to assembly errors, resulting in increased parts costs.

[0066] Based on this, it is necessary to provide a protective bracket and protective case that can be compatible with the installation of the above-mentioned new and old cameras.

[0067] See also Figures 3 to 8 , Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a protective bracket in an embodiment provided in this application. Figure 4 This is a schematic structural diagram of a protective bracket in another perspective in an embodiment provided in this application. Figure 5 This is a cross-sectional view of an embodiment provided in this application before the protective bracket and the first camera 1P are assembled. Figure 6 for Figure 5 The schematic diagram of the structure after the protective bracket and the first camera 1P are assembled is shown. Figure 7 This is a cross-sectional view of an embodiment provided in this application before the protective bracket and the second camera 2P are assembled. Figure 8 for Figure 7Schematic diagram of the structure after the protective bracket and the second camera 2P are assembled. The protective bracket provided in this application includes a mounting plate 10, a pressing buckle 20, a first limiting assembly 30, and a second limiting assembly 40. The pressing buckle 20 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 10. The first limiting assembly 30 is arranged on one side of the pressing buckle 20 at intervals along the first direction 1, and the second limiting assembly 40 is arranged on one side of the pressing buckle 20 at intervals along the first direction 1. The pressing buckle 20 has a first pressing surface 21 and a second pressing surface 22. The first pressing surface 21 is used to press the first camera 1P or the second camera 2P toward the mounting plate 10, and the second pressing surface 22 is used to press the bottom edge of the first camera 1P or the second camera 2P. Specifically, the second pressing surface 22 includes a first mating section 221 for abutting the bottom edge of the first camera 1P and a second mating section 222 for abutting the positioning foot 22P of the second camera 2P, thereby limiting the bottom edge of the first camera 1P or the second camera 2P. The first limiting component 30 has a limiting groove 301 and a first stop surface 302. The limiting groove 301 extends along the first direction 1 and is used to accommodate the side boss 11P of the first camera 1P. The first stop surface 302 is used to stop the first camera 1P in the opposite direction of the first direction 1. In this way, the side boss 11P of the first camera 1P can slide to the bottom of the groove in the opposite direction of the first direction 1 in the limiting groove 301. At the same time, the bottom edge of the first camera 1P is also limited by the pressing buckle 20, so that the first camera 1P can be fixed to the protective bracket. The second limiting component 40 has a guide surface 403, a snap-in groove 401 and a second stop surface 402. The guide surface 403 is used to abut the side of the second camera 2P. The snap-in groove 401 is located on the side of the guide surface 403 close to the mounting plate 10 and is used to snap-in the second camera 2P. The second stop surface 402 is used to stop the second camera 2P in the opposite direction of the first direction 1. In this way, the second limiting component 40 cooperates with the pressing buckle 20, the bottom edge of the second camera 2P is limited by the pressing buckle 20, and the side edge slides along the guide surface 403 into the snap-in groove 401 and is limited. The second stop surface 402 can prevent the second camera 2P from escaping along the first direction 1, thereby fixing the second camera 2P to the protective bracket. The protective bracket of this application is compatible with both existing camera models, reducing parts management costs during production and enhancing product competitiveness. Furthermore, the two different assembly methods facilitate distinguishing between the old and new cameras during assembly, preventing assembly errors caused by using the wrong protective bracket, thereby reducing product management costs for users. Furthermore, since the camera's internal structure does not need to be redesigned to accommodate the existing protective bracket, the DV and PV testing required in camera production are also unnecessary, shortening the development cycle and reducing development costs.

[0068] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 Specifically, in one embodiment provided herein, the first limiting assembly 30 includes a first stop buckle 32 and a pair of limiting buckles 31. The first stop surface 302 is located at one end of the first stop buckle 32 in the direction opposite to the first direction 1. The pair of limiting buckles 31 are spaced apart on the mounting plate 10 along a second direction 2 perpendicular to the first direction 1. The limiting buckles 31 have a first limiting surface 311 facing away from the mounting plate 10 and a second limiting surface 312 facing the mounting plate 10. The second limiting surface 312 extends from the side of the first limiting surface 311 near the pressing buckle 20 along the first direction 1, obliquely away from the first limiting surface 311, to form a limiting slot 301. As a result, the slot of the limiting slot 301 is larger, facilitating the insertion of the side boss 11P of the first camera 1P. It is understood that the bottom of the limiting groove 301, i.e., the intersection of the first limiting surface 311 and the second limiting surface 312, is smaller than the diameter of the protrusion 11P on the side of the first camera 1P. The protrusion 11P is interference-engaged with the bottom of the limiting groove 301, which helps to increase the stability of the installation of the protective bracket and the first camera 1P. Furthermore, the limiting buckle 31 also includes a third limiting surface 313 facing the other limiting buckle 31. The third limiting surface 313 intersects the first limiting surface 311 and the second limiting surface 312. The third limiting surface 313 forms a stop for the first camera 1P along the second direction 2, preventing the first camera 1P from shaking along the second direction 2, thereby improving the stability of the installation of the first camera 1P.

[0069] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6Optionally, in one embodiment provided herein, the first stop buckle 32 includes a connecting portion 321 and a stop portion 322. The connecting portion 321 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 10, and the first stop surface 302 is located on the stop portion 322. The stop portion 322 extends from the connecting portion 321 in a direction opposite to the first direction 1 and is configured to elastically abut against the protrusion 12P on the back of the first camera 1P. In this way, when the first camera 1P slides in a direction opposite to the first direction 1, the stop portion 322 is blocked by the protrusion 12P and is forced to deform to make way for the sliding of the protrusion 12P. When the protrusion 12P reaches the first stop surface 302 of the stop portion 322, the stop portion 322 rebounds and abuts against the protrusion 12P in a direction opposite to the first direction 1, thereby preventing the first camera 1P from accidentally loosening in the first direction 1. It is worth noting that the protrusion 12P is also provided with a boosting surface 121P for the stopper 322 to press against. This helps guide the deformation of the stopper 322 and prevents the stopper 322 from hitting the protrusion 12P and breaking. Furthermore, the stopper 322 extends away from the mounting plate 10 at an angle opposite to the first direction 1. When the first camera 1P is subjected to a pulling force along the first direction 1, the stopper 322 not only presses the first camera 1P in the direction opposite to the first direction 1, but also the first stopper surface 302 of the stopper 322 presses against the back of the first camera 1P, thereby ensuring stable contact between the first stopper surface 302 and the protrusion 12P and increasing the stability of the connection between the first camera 1P and the protective bracket. Optionally, the stop portion 322 also elastically abuts against the back of the first camera 1P, that is, the first stop buckle 32 is interference fit with the first camera 1P. Under the pressure of the first stop buckle 32, the bottom edge and side boss 11P of the first camera 1P can further abut against the pressing buckle 20 and interference fit with the limiting slide groove 301, which is beneficial to prevent the first camera 1P from shaking.

[0070] See also Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8 and Figure 9 , Figure 9 for Figure 8A partial enlarged view at the middle X. Optionally, in one embodiment provided in the present application, the second limit assembly 40 includes a second stop buckle 42 and a pair of elastic buckles 41. The second stop surface 402 is located on the second stop buckle 42 and is used to abut against the multiple ribs 21P on the back of the second camera 2P. The number of the second stop buckles 42 is but not limited to two pairs. The second stop buckle 42 is also used to support the second camera 2P. The pair of elastic buckles 41 are arranged on the mounting plate 10 at intervals along a second direction 2 perpendicular to the first direction 1, and the guide surface 403 is located on the side of the elastic buckle 41 facing the other elastic buckle 41. When the second camera 2P is pressed, the side of the second camera 2P abuts against the guide surface 403 of the elastic buckle 41 to keep the elastic buckle 41 deformed. When the side enters the snap-in slot 401, the elastic buckle 41 returns to its original position and prevents the second camera 2P from escaping from the snap-in slot 401. The second stop buckle 42 further prevents the second camera 2P from sliding in the opposite direction of the first direction 1, thereby fixing the second camera 2P to the protective bracket. The two elastic buckles 41 increase the elastic deformation, which facilitates the side of the second camera 2P to slide into the snap-in slot 401 along the guide surface 403. The number of the elastic buckles 41 is but not limited to two pairs to correspond to the positions of the two pairs of second stop buckles 42. Furthermore, to simplify assembly, the guide surface 403 gradually approaches the mounting plate 10 in the direction approaching the other elastic buckle 41. That is, the guide surface 403 extends toward the mounting plate 10. When the side of the second camera 2P presses against the guide surface 403, the guide surface 403 is simultaneously expanded, thereby simplifying the assembly process. In addition, the second limit assembly 40 also includes at least one pair of auxiliary pressure members 43. These auxiliary pressure members 43 are arranged on the mounting plate 10 at intervals along the second direction 2 and are used to press against the side of the second camera 2P. This helps to further enhance the secure connection between the protective bracket and the second camera 2P.

[0071] See also Figure 3 and Figure 5 Optionally, in an embodiment provided in the present application, the number of the pressing buckles 20 is a pair and they are arranged on the mounting plate 10 at intervals along a second direction 2 perpendicular to the first direction 1. This is conducive to further improving the stability of the bottom edge installation of the first camera 1P or the second camera 2P. Furthermore, the pressing buckle 20 also has a third pressing surface 23 facing the other pressing buckle 20, and the third pressing surface 23 is used to abut the side of the first camera 1P or the side of the second camera 2P. Specifically, the third pressing surface 23 intersects with the first pressing surface 21 and the second pressing surface 22 to enclose a space for accommodating the bottom corners of the cameras, which is conducive to further preventing the bottom edge of the first camera 1P or the second camera 2P from shaking.

[0072] See also Figure 3Optionally, in one embodiment provided in the present application, the protective bracket further includes a plurality of first support members 51 and second support members 52 located between the pressing buckle 20 and the limiting buckle 31, the first support member 51 being used to abut against the back of the first camera 1P, and the second support member 52 being used to abut against the back of the second camera 2P to reduce deformation of the first camera 1P or the second camera 2P. It is worth noting that since the width of the first camera 1P along the second direction 2 is smaller than the width of the second camera 2P along the second direction 2 and the thickness of the first camera 1P is greater than the thickness of the second camera 2P, the height of the first support member 51 is smaller than the height of the second support member 52 and is further away from the edge of the mounting plate 10 than the second support member 52.

Figure 14 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a protective case and a second camera 2P in one embodiment provided by the present application. The present application also provides a protective case, specifically comprising a cover 60 and the aforementioned protective bracket. The cover 60 is mounted on the mounting plate 10 of the protective bracket and covers the pressing buckle 20, the first limiting assembly 30, and the second limiting assembly 40 of the protective bracket. The cover 60 not only serves to block dust and moisture but also forms a box structure with the protective bracket, thereby increasing the structural strength of the protective bracket and the protective case.

[0074] See also Figure 10 、 Figure 11 and Figure 12 Specifically, in one embodiment provided in the present application, a plurality of positioning holes 61 are formed on the edge of the cover 60, and the mounting plate 10 includes a plate body 11 and a flange 12 located at the edge of the plate body 11. The flange 12 is provided with positioning buckles 121 for snapping and engaging with the positioning holes 61. Optionally, the mounting plate 10 further includes a first step 122 located on a side of the flange 12 away from the mounting plate 10, and the cover 60 includes a second step 62 that abuts and engages with the first step 122. Furthermore, the cover 60 and the flange 12 of the mounting plate 10 are interference-fitted, so that a compressive force is generated between the second step 62 and the first step 122, thereby making the fit between the protective bracket and the mounting plate 10 more secure.
