The embodiments described below by referring to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present utility model and should not be construed as a limitation to the present utility model.

[0035] In order to improve the assembly quality, ensure that the lens of the camera body does not rub or collide with the opening of the camera cover, and prevent the lens from falling off, this embodiment provides a reverse camera assembly. The following will describe the specific content of this embodiment in detail in conjunction with Figures 1 to 5 the following.

[0036] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, the reverse camera assembly in this embodiment includes a camera cover 1 and a camera module. The camera cover 1 includes a receiving groove 11 and a fixing fence 12 provided at the notch of the receiving groove 11. The camera cover 1 has an opening 13, and the opening 13 communicates with the receiving groove 11. A plurality of guiding and limiting ribs 14 are provided on the inner side walls of the receiving groove 11. The camera module includes a camera body 2 and a camera fixing bracket 3. The camera body 2 is connected to the camera fixing bracket 3. The camera body 2 is disposed in the receiving groove 11, and the lens 21 of the camera body 2 is located in the opening 13. The inner diameter of the opening 13 is greater than the outer diameter of the lens 21. The plurality of guiding and limiting ribs 14 are all in contact with the housing 22 of the camera body 2, and are used to make the lens 21 and the opening 13 coaxial. The opposite ends of the camera fixing bracket 3 are respectively connected to the fixing fence 12.

[0037] In short, for the reverse camera assembly provided in this embodiment, the opening 13 of the camera cover 1 communicates with the receiving groove 11 of the camera cover 1, and the camera body 2 is disposed in the receiving groove 11. The lens 21 at the front end of the camera body 2 is located in the opening 13 of the camera cover 1. By providing a plurality of guiding and limiting ribs 14 on the inner side wall of the receiving groove 11, after the camera body 2 enters the receiving groove 11, under the guidance of the guiding and limiting ribs 14, the lens 21 and the opening 13 can be coaxially arranged. The inner diameter of the opening 13 is greater than the outer diameter of the lens 21, which not only ensures the installation accuracy by centering the lens 21, but also avoids structural interference between the lens 21 and the opening 13. During the assembly process, the camera cover 1 first contacts the housing of the camera body 2, avoiding direct contact with the lens 21. The guiding and limiting ribs 14 are in contact with the housing 22 of the camera body 2. The rear end of the camera body 2 is connected to the fixing fence 12 through the camera fixing bracket 3, connecting the camera module and the camera cover 1 as a whole, ensuring the connection stability, preventing the lens 21 from rubbing or colliding with the opening 13, and avoiding the lens 21 from falling off.

[0038] Further, a limiting ring 15 is provided at the opening 13, and the housing 22 of the camera body 2 is stopped by the limiting ring 15. During the process of the camera body 2 entering the receiving groove 11, the insertion depth of the camera body 2 can be limited by adding the limiting ring 15 to ensure the assembly quality.

[0039] Optionally, a water leakage hole 16 is provided at the bottom wall of the receiving groove 11. The water leakage hole 16 is communicated with the inner cavity of the receiving groove 11. When rainwater extends into the receiving groove 11 from the gap between the lens 21 and the opening 13, due to the addition of the water leakage hole 16, it is convenient to quickly drain the rainwater, avoiding the risk of water accumulation and short circuit of the camera body 2.

[0040] Further, as Figure 1 Combined with Figure 5 shown in the figure, the camera fixing bracket 3 includes a first connecting arm 31, a mounting plate 32 and a second connecting arm 33. The first connecting arm 31 and the second connecting arm 33 are respectively arranged at both ends of the mounting plate 32. The housing 22 of the camera body 2 is connected to the mounting plate 32, and both the first connecting arm 31 and the second connecting arm 33 are connected to the fixing enclosure 12.

[0041] Further, as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 Combined with Figure 5 shown in the figure, support columns 17 are provided on both opposite sides of the fixing enclosure 12. First connection holes 34 are provided on both the first connecting arm 31 and the second connecting arm 33. The first fastener 4 passes through the first connection hole 34 and is connected to the support column 17. The firm connection between the camera fixing bracket 3 and the fixing enclosure 12 is realized through the first fastener 4.

[0042] Further, a second connection hole 321 is provided on the mounting plate 32, and a third connection hole 221 is provided on the housing 22 of the camera body 2. The second fastener 5 passes through the second connection hole 321 and is connected to the third connection hole 221, ensuring the stability of the connection between the camera body 2 and the camera fixing bracket 3 through the second fastener 5. The first fastener 4 and the second fastener 5 can be, but are not limited to, screws or bolts, etc.

[0043] Furthermore, an avoidance hole 322 is provided on the mounting plate 32, and the plug wire head 23 of the camera body 2 is inserted into the avoidance hole 322. Since the plug wire head 23 is provided at the rear end of the camera body 2, by adding the avoidance hole 322, the structural interference between the plug wire head 23 and the camera fixing bracket 3 can be avoided.

[0044] Exemplarily, a positioning pin 222 is provided on the housing 22 of the camera body 2, and a positioning hole 323 is provided on the mounting plate 32. The positioning pin 222 is inserted into the positioning hole 323. By adding the positioning pin 222 and the positioning hole 323, the installation accuracy of the camera body 2 and the camera fixing bracket 3 can be ensured.

[0045] Further, as Figure 3 shown in combination with Figure 4 FIG., risers 18 are provided on opposite sides of the fixed shroud 12. A raised snap portion 181 is provided on one of the risers 18, and a bent snap portion 182 is provided on the other riser 18. By adding the raised snap portion 181 and the bent snap portion 182, the reverse camera assembly can be detachably connected to the jack 101 of the decorative plate 100, facilitating the installation and disassembly of the reverse camera assembly.

[0046] Further, a plurality of reinforcing ribs 183 are provided on the side surface of the riser 18, and the plurality of reinforcing ribs 183 are spaced apart along the length direction of the riser 18. Since the raised snap portion 181 and the bent snap portion 182 are likely to exert a certain force on the riser 18 during the assembly process, by adding the reinforcing ribs 183, it is convenient to improve the structural strength of the riser 18, avoid breakage, and extend the service life.

[0047] Even further, the reverse camera assembly further includes an annular foam 6. A blocking portion 19 is provided on the outer edge of the fixed shroud 12. The annular foam 6 is disposed on the fixed shroud 12 and abuts against the inner wall of the blocking portion 19 to prevent the annular foam 6 from falling off. After the reverse camera assembly is assembled with the decorative plate 100 of the vehicle, the annular foam 6 is located between the fixed shroud 12 and the decorative plate 100. After being compressed, the annular foam 6 has the functions of dustproof, waterproof, anti-collision and buffering and shock absorption.
