[0024] Embodiment 1

[0025] As Figures 1-3 shown, the present utility model provides a panoramic parking system, including a camera assembly, an AVM controller and a display. The camera assembly includes a front view camera, a rear view camera, a left view camera and a right view camera. The front view camera, the rear view camera, the left view camera and the right view camera are installed on the vehicle body through a fixing component. The fixing component includes a fixing groove 1, and a camera is installed in the fixing groove 1. The pixel of the camera is 640*480. The fixing component further includes a fixing frame, and the fixing frame is fixedly connected to the fixing groove 1, and the connection method is one of threaded connection or bonding.

[0026] The fixing groove 1 is of an inverted U-shaped structure, and guide grooves 7 are provided on both inner walls and the top surface of the fixing groove 1. One guide groove 7 is provided on each of the two inner walls of the fixing groove 1, and they are symmetrically arranged between them. Two guide grooves 7 are symmetrically provided on the top surface of the fixing groove 1. A camera limiting member 3 is slidably arranged inside the fixing groove 1, and guide protrusions 8 that coincide with the guide grooves 7 are provided on the top and both sides of the camera limiting member 3. The guide protrusion 8 can slide in the guide groove 7, so that the camera limiting member 3 can slide inside the fixing groove 1 conveniently.

[0027] Threaded holes 6 are provided on both side walls of the fixing groove 1, and threaded seats 11 are provided at the corresponding positions of the threaded holes 6 when the camera limiting member 3 moves to the fixed position. When the camera limiting member 3 slides to the fixed position (that is, the camera limiting member 3 moves to the innermost normal working position of the fixing groove 1), a bolt can be screwed into the threaded hole 6, and finally the bolt is screwed into the threaded seat 11 to realize the fixation of the camera limiting member 3. The threaded seat 11 is a groove, which does not hinder the normal sliding of the guide protrusion 8, and at the same time can realize a better fixing effect on the camera limiting member 3.

[0028] The top of the camera limiting member 3 is provided with a camera placement groove 9. A layer of rubber mold is provided at the bottom and on both sides of the camera placement groove 9. The rubber mold can play a role in buffering and shock absorption, providing a certain degree of protection for the camera. The internal space of the camera placement groove 9 matches the size of the camera, so that the camera can be exactly clamped in the camera placement groove 9. A lens hole 10 is provided at the front end of the camera limiting member 3. Placing the lens end of the camera at the position of the lens hole 10 can ensure its normal video recording function.

[0029] If the camera needs to be replaced, the bolts on both sides of the fixing groove 1 can be screwed out. A groove is provided at the bottom of the camera limiting member 3. By pulling the groove, the camera limiting member 3 can be pulled out of the fixing groove 1. At this time, the camera is exposed, and the camera to be replaced can be taken out from the camera placement groove 9 above the camera limiting member 3. After replacement, the camera limiting member 3 can be pushed into the fixing groove 1, and the fixing groove 1 can block the camera, playing a certain anti-theft function.

[0030] The fixing frame includes a first fixing frame 2 and a second fixing frame 12. The connecting surface of the first fixing frame 2 conforms to the shape of the contact surface at the car trunk handle, and the connecting surface of the second fixing frame 12 conforms to the shape of the bottom end surface of the car rearview mirror. The camera can be fixed at the vehicle grille and the car trunk handle through the first fixing frame 2. Because its contact surface shape is relatively flat, it can also be fixed at the vehicle grille. The second fixing frame 12 has a slightly curved shape. The camera can be fixed under the left and right rearview mirrors of the car through the second fixing frame 12. At the same time, the second fixing frame 12 can be hidden inside the left and right rearview mirrors. Only need to open a hole at the bottom side of the left and right rearview mirror housings to expose the camera.

[0031] 3M double-sided tapes 4 are provided at the connecting surfaces of the first fixing frame 2 and the second fixing frame 12. The 3M double-sided tapes 4 can facilitate installation and positioning. At the same time, screw holes 5 are provided on both sides of the first fixing frame 2 and the second fixing frame 12. The first fixing frame 2, the second fixing frame 12 and the vehicle body can be firmly installed through screws.

[0032] The camera is electrically connected to the AVM controller, and the AVM controller is electrically connected to the display. The images collected by the four cameras in the front, rear, left and right are transmitted to the AVM controller. The AVM controller synthesizes the multiple videos, and finally synthesizes the surrounding scenes collected into a 360° panoramic view, which is displayed on the display to facilitate the driver's driving and can provide a better driving experience. In this embodiment, the display is an MP5 player.

[0033] The AVM switch can control the turning on and off of the 360° panoramic visual parking system. The corresponding views can be switched by toggling the icons on the MP5 player. When reversing, the system directly switches to the rear view interface without being controlled by the switch. When turning left or right, the left and right views can be directly switched. The view switching control is achieved through CAN network communication between the MP5 player and the AVM controller. The reverse trajectory collects the steering angle through the steering angle sensor and transmits it to the AVM control host and the MP5 player via CAN. When parking, the dynamic reverse trajectory is displayed on the MP5 player to assist the driver in parking safely.
