[0028] Embodiment 1

[0029] As Figures 1-3 shown, this embodiment proposes a camera mounting structure, including: a camera bracket 2 and a locking bracket 1;

[0030] A limiting rib is provided on the inner side surface of the locking bracket 1, and a limiting groove matching the limiting rib is provided on the camera bracket 2;

[0031] A first through hole is opened in the axial direction of the locking bracket 1, and the camera bracket 2 is inserted into the first through hole.

[0032] In this embodiment, the locking bracket 1 and the camera bracket 2 are axially pressed tightly by a locking nut, and in the radial direction, the camera bracket 2 and the locking bracket 1 are limited by the limiting rib; it is directly tightened by interlocking and limiting, saving the development cost and cycle of parts and being convenient to operate.

[0033] In this embodiment, the basic dimensions of the limiting rib of the locking bracket 1 and the limiting groove of the camera bracket 2 match to achieve YZ limiting of the locking bracket; the dimensional tolerance between the camera bracket 2 and the locking bracket 1 is absorbed by the clamping relationship between the locking bracket 1 and the camera bracket 2.

[0034] In this embodiment, the camera bracket 2 includes a double-headed bolt 5. After the double-headed bolt 5 passes through the first through hole, it is fixed by a locking nut 4 to realize the tension between the locking bracket 1 and the camera bracket 2, and complete the installation and fastening of the camera bracket 2.

[0035] As Figure 2As shown, in this embodiment, it further includes a camera bracket mounting plate 3. The front of the camera bracket 2 is pushed and mounted onto the camera bracket mounting plate 3, and the back of the locking bracket 1 is clamped and pressed onto the reverse side of the camera bracket mounting plate 3.

[0036] The camera bracket 2 is tightened with the locking bracket 1 through a double-headed bolt 5 and fastened with a locking nut 4. The locking bracket 1 and the camera bracket 2 tighten the front and back sides of the camera bracket mounting plate 3 to complete the installation and fastening of the camera bracket 2.

[0037] It can be understood that the middle of the camera bracket mounting plate 3 has a hole through which one end of the camera bracket 2 can pass. Here, one end of the camera bracket 2 refers to the end of the camera bracket 2 with the double-headed bolt 5.

[0038] In this embodiment, it further includes a gasket 6. The front of the camera bracket 2 is mounted with the gasket 6, and the gap direction is directly limited by the limit points of the camera bracket 2 and the locking bracket 1. The limit surface and the gap matching surface of the camera bracket 2 are designed on the same part with a small tolerance to ensure the relative accuracy.

[0039] The gasket 6 is pressed onto the camera bracket mounting plate 3. The camera bracket mounting plate 3 provides a mounting surface for the gasket, and at the same time, the gasket 6 is limited by the camera bracket 2 to ensure that the distance between the gasket and the mounting through-hole is consistent, that is, the width of the gasket on the camera bracket mounting plate 3 is uniform. The gasket 6 is mounted on the front, and through interlocking and tensioning, the compression amount in the surface difference direction is ensured to be uniform to ensure the sealing performance.

[0040] In this embodiment, the surface difference direction of the locking bracket 1 is limited by the outer plate sink. The locking bracket 1 and the camera bracket 2 are directly pressed tightly, and the tolerance is absorbed by the lower locking points, leaving a gap. The gap in the YZ direction between the locking bracket 1 and the camera bracket 2 is limited by trimming the locking bracket 1 and the camera bracket mounting plate 3 to ensure the positioning stability and assembly. The key dimensions such as the sealing surface and the appearance surface in the axial direction are adjusted and locked by the threads of the double-headed bolt to ensure the function and appearance.

[0041] Among them, at least one sunken outer plate sink is provided at the part where the camera needs to be installed, and the locking bracket 1 is placed in the sunken outer plate sink.

[0042] It can be understood that the outer plate sink can be located on the vehicle roof or other positions where installation is required.

[0043] The structure of this embodiment can be widely applied to the installation of sensor devices such as radars and cameras, as well as areas with limited installation operability. The main advantages are as follows: There is no need to design mounting plates and mounting holes. It can be directly tightened through interlocking and limiting, saving the development cost and cycle of parts; The locking bracket 1 and the camera bracket 2 are mutually locked on one plate without an additional mounting plate, and there is no cumulative tolerance of other processes. Only the single-layer plate limits the locking bracket, and there is no need to avoid the space of the mounting plate during the tightening process, which is convenient for operation and saves working hours; The limiting structure and the tightening structure are designed on the same part, reducing the cumulative dimensional deviation, directly matching the appearance boundary, and having better accuracy and stability; It is not affected by the elastic deformation of the bracket and the parts of the matching boundary; It is installed from the front, and the appearance modeling features and size do not affect the installation space, thus better ensuring the functional features and appearance requirements of such parts.

[0044] Although the specific implementation manners of the present invention have been described above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, it is not a limitation to the protection scope of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that based on the technical solution of the present invention, various modifications or deformations that can be made by those skilled in the art without creative labor are still within the protection scope of the present invention.
