For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0030] In one aspect of the embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , a support structure 100 is provided, which is used to fix the radar antenna module 300 on the top of the pan-tilt 200. Specifically, the support structure 100 includes: a pan-tilt top plate 110 and a pan-tilt side plate 120 connected to the pan-tilt top plate 110, the pan-tilt top plate 110 and the pan-tilt side plate 120 are arranged non-parallel, the plate surface of the pan-tilt top plate 110 is installed on the top of the pan-tilt 200, and the plate surface of the pan-tilt side plate 120 away from the pan-tilt top plate 110 is used to install the radar antenna module 300.

[0031] It should be noted that the surface of the gimbal top plate 110 refers to the surface with a larger area on the gimbal top plate 110, and the side surface of the gimbal top plate 110 refers to the surface with a smaller area on the gimbal top plate 110 connected to the surface. The surface of the gimbal side plate 120 refers to the surface with a larger area on the gimbal side plate 120, and the side surface of the gimbal side plate 120 refers to the surface with a smaller area on the gimbal side plate 120 connected to the surface.

[0032] The gimbal side panel 120 can be connected to the side of the gimbal top panel 110, or can be connected to the panel surface of the gimbal top panel 110. For example, the panel surface of the gimbal side panel 120 is connected to the side of the gimbal top panel 110. The panel surface of the gimbal top panel 110 and the panel surface of the gimbal side panel 120 are not arranged in parallel, that is, there is an angle α between the panel surface of the gimbal top panel 110 and the panel surface of the gimbal side panel 120, 0°<α≤90°. The gimbal top panel 110 and the gimbal side panel 120 each have at least two opposite panel surfaces, wherein one panel surface of the gimbal top panel 110 is used to be installed on the top of the gimbal 200. It can be understood that the top of the gimbal 200 should have a plane supporting the gimbal top panel 110, and the gimbal top panel 110 can be installed on the top of the gimbal 200 by bolts. One surface of the pan-tilt side plate 120 faces the pan-tilt top plate 110, and the other surface faces away from the pan-tilt top plate 110. The surface facing away from the pan-tilt top plate 110 is used to install the radar antenna module 300. In this way, when the radar antenna module 300 needs to be installed non-parallel to the top of the pan-tilt 200, the connection and fixation between the radar antenna module 300 and the pan-tilt 200 can be achieved.

[0033] The above-mentioned support structure 100 is provided with a gimbal side panel 120 on the gimbal top plate 110, which is non-parallel to the gimbal top plate 110. The gimbal top plate 110 is connected to the top of the gimbal 200, and the gimbal side panel 120 is connected to the radar antenna module 300. In this way, the non-parallel installation of the radar antenna module 300 and the top of the gimbal 200 is realized.

[0034] Optionally, the plate surface of the pan head side plate 120 is perpendicular to the plate surface of the pan head top plate 110, thereby realizing the vertical connection between the radar antenna module 300 and the top of the pan head 200. The plate surface of the pan head side plate 120 is connected to the side of the pan head top plate 110, so that the installation of the radar antenna module 300 is more flexible.

[0035] Optionally, a plurality of first connection holes 121 are provided on the gimbal side panel 120, and the plurality of first connection holes 121 correspond one-to-one to the plurality of second connection holes on the radar antenna module 300 respectively. The support structure 100 also includes a plurality of connecting members 130, and the connecting members 130 pass through the first connection holes 121 and cooperate with the second connection holes to install the radar antenna module 300 on the gimbal side panel 120.

[0036] It should be noted that the connection between the connector 130 and the second connection hole can be threaded, interference, or snap-fit, as long as the fixed connection between the radar antenna module 300 and the pan-tilt side plate 120 can be achieved. The radar antenna module 300 and the pan-tilt side plate 120 are fixed simultaneously using multiple connectors 130 to ensure the strength of use.

[0037] For example, the first connection hole 121 is a through hole, the second connection hole is a threaded hole, and the connection member 130 is a bolt, which passes through the through hole and is threadedly connected to the threaded hole. The radar antenna module 300 and the gimbal side plate 120 are connected and fixed with multiple bolts, which can ensure the connection stability and convenience, and also ensure the use strength.

[0038] Optionally, a positioning column 122 is provided on a surface of the gimbal side plate 120 facing away from the gimbal top plate 110 , and the positioning column 122 is used to position the radar antenna module 300 .

[0039] For example, the positioning post 122 corresponds to the position of the positioning hole on the radar antenna module 300, and the positioning post 122 is inserted into the positioning hole to position the radar antenna module 300. Furthermore, the number of the positioning posts 122 is at least two, and the positions and heights of at least two positioning posts 122 are inconsistent, so as to prevent the radar antenna module 300 from being installed upside down.

[0040] Optionally, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The side plate 120 of the platform is provided with a reinforcing plate 123 on the surface facing the top plate 110 of the platform, and the reinforcing plate 123 is connected to the surface of the side plate 120 of the platform and the surface of the top plate 110 of the platform. The reinforcing plate 123 can support the side plate 120 of the platform, thereby improving the strength of the side plate 120 of the platform, so that the side plate 120 of the platform can better support the radar antenna module 300.

[0041] For example, there are multiple reinforcing plates 123 , and the multiple reinforcing plates 123 are arranged in parallel.

[0042] For example, the plate surface of the gimbal side plate 120 is connected to the side surface of the gimbal top plate 110, and the reinforcing plate 123 includes two groups, each group of reinforcing plates 123 includes a plurality of reinforcing plates 123, and the two groups of reinforcing plates 123 are respectively located on opposite sides of the gimbal top plate 110. The reinforcing plate 123 located above the gimbal top plate 110 is connected to the plate surface of the gimbal side plate 120 and the upper plate surface of the gimbal top plate 110 at the same time, and the reinforcing plate 123 located below the gimbal top plate 110 is connected to the plate surface of the gimbal side plate 120 and the lower plate surface of the gimbal top plate 110 at the same time.

[0043] Optionally, the plate surface of the gimbal side plate 120 is connected to the first side surface 113 of the gimbal top plate 110 , and the second side surface 114 of the gimbal top plate 110 is provided with a handle 140 , and the second side surface 114 is arranged opposite to the first side surface 113 .

[0044] The setting of the handle 140 solves the problem that the pan-tilt head 200 is difficult to lift and transport. At the same time, after the radar antenna module 300 is installed on the pan-tilt head side plate 120, the weight of the radar antenna module 300 easily causes the pan-tilt head 200 to tilt toward the side where the radar antenna module 300 is located. The handle 140 can also play the role of a counterweight to prevent the pan-tilt head 200 from tilting, which is beneficial to the operation of the pan-tilt head 200 and improves the service life of the pan-tilt head 200.

[0045] For example, the handle 140 and the gimbal top plate 110 are integrally formed, so that the stability of the connection between the handle 140 and the gimbal top plate 110 can be improved and processing is facilitated.

[0046] In order to improve the weight-balancing effect of the handle 140, the handle 140 is optionally a solid handle. The solid handle has a larger weight, which can better balance the weight of the radar antenna module 300 and prevent the pan / tilt 200 from tilting.

[0047] In other embodiments, the handle 140 may also be hollow, and a counterweight may be provided inside the handle 140 or on the surface of the handle 140 , which can also improve the counterweight effect of the handle 140 .

[0048] Optionally, please refer to Figure 4 The gimbal top plate 110 includes a flat plate portion 111, and two thickened portions 112 respectively arranged on a third side surface 115 and a fourth side surface 116 of the flat plate portion 111. The plate surface of the gimbal side plate 120 is connected to the first side surface 113 of the flat plate portion 111, and the end surface of the thickened portion 112 extends to the second side surface 114 of the flat plate portion 111. The two ends of the handle 140 are respectively connected to the end surfaces of the two thickened portions 112, wherein the third side surface 115 and the fourth side surface 116 are arranged opposite to each other, the third side surface 115 is respectively non-parallel to the first side surface 113 and the second side surface 114, and the fourth side surface 116 is respectively non-parallel to the first side surface 113 and the second side surface 114.

[0049] The thickened portion 112 can improve the reliability of the connection between the handle 140 and the gimbal top plate 110. At the same time, the thickened portion 112 is close to the handle 140 and away from the radar antenna module 300. Therefore, the thickened portion 112 can also play a counterweight role, increasing the weight behind the gimbal 200 and preventing the gimbal 200 from tilting toward the front where the radar antenna module 300 is located.

[0050] It should be noted that the first side surface 113 of the flat plate portion 111 is the first side surface 113 of the gimbal top plate 110, and the second side surface 114 of the flat plate portion 111 is the second side surface 114 of the gimbal top plate 110. The non-parallel arrangement of one side surface and another side surface means that there is an angle between one side surface and another side surface, 0°<angle<180°.

[0051] Optionally, the support structure 100 further includes two connecting side plates 150 , the two connecting side plates 150 are respectively connected to the two thickened portions 112 , and the connecting side plates 150 are also connected to the side surfaces of the gimbal 200 .

[0052] The two connecting side plates 150 are respectively fixed on the two thickened portions 112. After installation, the connecting side plates 150 are located on the side of the pan-tilt head 200 and are fixedly connected to the side of the pan-tilt head 200. The setting of the connecting side plates 150 can improve the reliability of the connection between the pan-tilt head top plate 110 and the pan-tilt head 200. At the same time, the connecting side plates 150 are close to the handle 140 and away from the radar antenna module 300. Therefore, the connecting side plates 150 can also play a role of counterweight, increase the weight behind the pan-tilt head 200, and prevent the pan-tilt head 200 from tilting toward the front where the radar antenna module 300 is located.

[0053] On the other hand of an embodiment of the present application, a radar device 400 is provided, including a gimbal 200, a radar antenna module 300 and a support structure 100 as described above, wherein a surface of a gimbal top plate 110 of the support structure 100 is arranged on the top of the gimbal 200, and the radar antenna module 300 is arranged on a surface of a gimbal side plate 120 of the support structure 100 facing away from the gimbal top plate 110.

[0054] The radar device 400 includes the same structure and benefits as the support structure 100 in the above embodiment. The structure and benefits of the support structure 100 have been described in detail in the above embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

[0055] The above description is only the preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
