Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model discloses a driving camera, belonging to the technical field of driving image acquisition. Background Art

[0002] The wave of new energy vehicles is growing, and vehicle body intelligence is becoming increasingly sophisticated. Intelligent driving is closely related to sensors. New energy vehicles on the market often use up to 12 cameras. The more cameras used, the more important their stability becomes. Driving cameras are often located in relatively harsh operating environments, and metal lenses are prone to static electricity. If static electricity generated by metal lenses cannot be conducted externally, it can easily be transmitted to internal components, causing interference from static electricity and causing camera malfunction. This poses a safety hazard and compromises vehicle safety.

[0003] Current driving cameras are composed of an upper cover, a lower cover, a camera module, and a controller circuit board. To overcome the harsh working environment, most cameras use metal lenses. However, metal lenses need to be used in harsh environments and require anodizing treatment on their surfaces. The static electricity generated cannot be conducted to the outside, but can easily be conducted to internal components, causing interference from static electricity, resulting in camera malfunction and affecting driving safety. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the problem that existing driving cameras all adopt a design in which the camera module is in direct contact with the upper cover and have no electrostatic protection capability, and to provide a driving camera.

[0007] Preferably, a driving camera upper cover slot is provided on the inner side of the camera mounting hole, and the corrugated metal spring is limited by cooperating with the driving camera upper cover slot through a claw.

[0008] Preferably, the upper cover of the driving camera is provided with a camera mounting slot, a serial interface mounting slot and a driving circuit board mounting slot which respectively provide a camera module, a serial interface module and a driving circuit board, and the camera module PCB board is arranged on the inner side of the camera module.

[0009] Preferably, heat dissipation silicone grease is provided between the driving circuit board and the lower cover of the driving camera.

[0010] Preferably, a plurality of vertical heat dissipation ribs are provided on the lower cover of the driving camera.

[0011] The present invention has the following beneficial effects compared with the existing ones:

[0012] The utility model provides a driving camera, which processes the static electricity generated by the camera by adding a corrugated metal shrapnel and separately processing the surface of the camera module. The corrugated metal shrapnel structure is a structural design with positioning, small size and strong contact, thereby improving the electrostatic protection capability of the camera and the safety of the vehicle. The electrostatic protection design can improve the safety of the circuit when the camera is in use. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
