Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of vehicle accessory installation structures, and particularly relates to a mounting bracket for a vehicle millimeter-wave radar and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] Millimeter-wave radar is one of the key detection components in autonomous vehicles. Its applications in connected vehicles include data detection in scenarios such as blind spot detection, automated parking, autonomous driving, highway driving, and adaptive cruise control. For example, during blind spot detection, millimeter-wave radar can detect objects around the vehicle, helping the driver avoid collisions and the risk of crashes in blind spots. During automated parking, millimeter-wave radar can precisely measure the distance and position between the vehicle and the parking space, making the automated parking system more accurate. During automated driving, millimeter-wave radar can detect obstacles and pedestrians around the vehicle, using this information to make the automated driving system safer and more reliable.

[0003] In existing technologies, millimeter-wave radars are fixedly installed on the side guard plates of vehicle bodies. However, millimeter-wave radars need to have different pitch angles to ensure detection effects on different types of vehicles. Since the millimeter-wave radar is fixed in position, the installation pitch angle cannot be changed according to the vehicle type, which limits the scope of application of the millimeter-wave radar. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a mounting bracket and a vehicle for a vehicle millimeter-wave radar, so as to solve the technical problem in the prior art that the millimeter-wave radar cannot adjust the pitch angle during installation, resulting in the millimeter-wave radar being unable to achieve good detection effects on different types of vehicles.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a mounting bracket for a vehicle millimeter-wave radar, which is used to mount the millimeter-wave radar on a vehicle body. The mounting bracket includes:

[0006] A vehicle body fixing plate, the vehicle body fixing plate being mounted on the vehicle body;

[0007] A radar mounting frame, the radar mounting frame being mounted on the vehicle body fixing plate, and the millimeter-wave radar being mounted on the radar mounting frame;

[0009] In some embodiments, the vehicle body fixing plate is a U-shaped plate, the vertical arm of the U-shaped plate is installed on the vehicle body, and the millimeter wave radar is installed on the horizontal plate of the U-shaped plate.

[0010] In some embodiments, the angle adjustment mechanism includes:

[0011] At least two groups of height adjustment components, each of which can adjust the height separately to adjust the installation angle between the vehicle body fixing plate and the radar mounting bracket.

[0012] In some embodiments, the height adjustment assembly comprises:

[0016] In some embodiments, there are four height adjustment components, each of which is located at the four corners of the radar mounting frame.

[0017] In some embodiments, the vertical arm of the U-shaped plate has a bent edge, and the bent edge is fixedly connected to the vehicle body side guard plate.

[0018] The utility model also provides a vehicle, comprising a vehicle body and a mounting bracket mounted on a side guard plate of the vehicle body, wherein the mounting bracket is the mounting bracket of the vehicle millimeter-wave radar as described above.

[0019] The mounting bracket for a vehicle millimeter-wave radar provided by the present invention is used to mount the millimeter-wave radar on a vehicle body.

[0024] The following describes in detail embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0025] In a specific embodiment, the mounting bracket of the vehicle millimeter wave radar provided by the present invention is used to mount the millimeter wave radar on the vehicle body, such as Figure 1 As shown, the mounting bracket includes a vehicle body fixing plate 1, a radar mounting bracket 2, and an angle adjustment mechanism. The vehicle body fixing plate 1 is mounted on the vehicle body, specifically on the vehicle body side guard plate 6. The radar mounting bracket 2 is mounted on the vehicle body fixing plate 1, and the millimeter-wave radar 3 is mounted on the radar mounting bracket 2. The angle adjustment mechanism is installed between the vehicle body fixing plate 1 and the radar mounting bracket 2 and is used to adjust the installation angle between the vehicle body fixing plate 1 and the radar mounting bracket 2. During the installation of the millimeter-wave radar 3, the angle adjustment mechanism adjusts the installation angle between the vehicle body fixing plate 1 and the radar mounting bracket 2, thereby adjusting the pitch angle of the millimeter-wave radar 3 according to calibration requirements and the specifications of different vehicle types. This solves the technical problem in the prior art where the pitch angle of the millimeter-wave radar 3 cannot be adjusted during installation, resulting in the millimeter-wave radar 3 being unable to achieve good detection results on different types of vehicles.

[0026] To improve installation convenience, the vehicle body fixing plate 1 is a U-shaped plate, with the vertical arm of the U-shaped plate mounted on the vehicle body, and the millimeter-wave radar 3 mounted on the horizontal plate of the U-shaped plate. Furthermore, a curved edge can be provided on the vertical arm of the U-shaped plate, which is fixedly connected to the vehicle body side guard plate. The curved edge and the vehicle body side guard plate can be fixed by bolts.

[0027] The angle adjustment mechanism includes at least two sets of height adjustment components, each of which can adjust the height to adjust the installation angle between the vehicle body fixing plate 1 and the radar mounting bracket 2. For example, there are four height adjustment components, each of which is located at the four corners of the radar mounting bracket 2.

[0028] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 As shown, the height adjustment assembly includes an adjustment bolt 4, a fixing nut, and an adjustment nut 5. The adjustment bolt 4 passes through the vehicle body mounting plate 1 and the radar mounting bracket 2, while the fixing nut screws into the adjustment bolt 4 and abuts against the vehicle body mounting plate 1. The adjustment nut 5 screws into the adjustment bolt 4 and abuts against the radar mounting bracket 2. During radar installation, the millimeter-wave radar 3 and radar mounting bracket 2 are screwed together. The millimeter-wave radar 3 and bracket assembly are then secured to the vehicle body mounting plate 1 using a height adjustment mechanism consisting of bolts and nuts. The assembled radar adjustable bracket assembly is then mounted on the vehicle body side guard plate.

[0029] During pitch adjustment, the position of the side guards (height and angle relative to the ground) varies for each vehicle type, and the radar installation environment varies. After the radar's adjustable bracket is installed on the vehicle, it will tilt at an angle that doesn't meet the radar's installation requirements, requiring adjustment. When adjusting according to the radar's calibration method, the radar pitch angle can be adjusted by adjusting the length of the adjustable bolts and nuts between the radar mounting bracket 2 and the vehicle body fixing plate 1. After completing the adjustment with the host computer, tighten the adjustment nut 5 to complete the adjustment.

[0030] In addition to the above-mentioned mounting bracket, the present invention also provides a vehicle including the above-mentioned mounting bracket. For the structures of other parts of the vehicle, please refer to the prior art and will not be described in detail here.
