[0032] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly defined, terms such as setting, installing, and connecting should be understood in a broad sense, and technicians in the relevant technical field can reasonably determine the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific content of the technical solution.

[0033] The following is a further description of the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figures 1 to 4 The in-cabin camera includes a housing 100, a control board 200, a fill light assembly 210, and a lens 220. A first mounting portion 110 and a second mounting portion 120 are provided at the front end of the housing 100. The first mounting portion 110 and the second mounting portion 120 are spaced apart, and the first mounting portion 110 is located on the left side of the second mounting portion 120. The control board 200 is disposed in the housing 100. The fill light assembly 210 includes a light source 211 and a filter 212. The light source 211 is mounted on the second mounting portion 120 and electrically connected to the control board 200. The filter 212 is mounted on the second mounting portion 120 and located in front of the light source 211. The lens 220 is mounted on the first mounting portion 110 and electrically connected to the control board 200. The filter 212 is an infrared filter 212, which can filter the visible light in the light emitted by the light source 211 to avoid interfering with people in the car, so that the infrared light can pass through the filter 212 and reach the target area, thereby ensuring that the video captured by the lens 220 is clear.

[0035] It is understood that the light emitted by the light source 211, after being filtered by the filter 212, can provide fill light for the cabin and avoid interfering with the occupants, thus facilitating the monitoring of the cabin environment by the lens 220. The lens 220 and the filter 212 are spaced apart by the first mounting portion 110 and the second mounting portion 120, thereby avoiding the conventional arrangement of the fill light assembly 210 within the lens 220, which results in the camera being excessively long in the front-to-back direction, thereby reducing the size of the cabin camera. Furthermore, the conventional filter 212 typically covers the front end of the housing 100, while the lens 220 is passed through the filter 212. In contrast, the filter 212 in this embodiment is smaller in area, thereby saving costs and eliminating the need for the lens 220 to pass through the filter 212, thereby optimizing the production process.

[0036] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The front end of the shell 100 protrudes forward to form a first mounting portion 110. The first mounting portion 110 is in a circular shape. The rear end of the first mounting portion 110 is connected to the inner cavity of the shell 100. The rear end of the lens 220 is inserted into the first mounting portion 110. The lens 220 is connected to the control board 200 through wires, and the wires can pass through the first mounting portion 110.

[0037] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The front end of the housing 100 protrudes forward to form a second mounting portion 120. The second mounting portion 120 is in the shape of a square ring. The rear end of the second mounting portion 120 communicates with the inner cavity of the housing 100. The light source 211 is disposed within the second mounting portion 120. The light source 211 is connected to the control board 200 via wires that pass through the second mounting portion 120. The filter 212 covers the front end of the second mounting portion 120, thereby closing the front end opening of the second mounting portion 120.

[0038] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 3 The inner wall of the second mounting portion 120 is provided with an annular boss 121, and the rear end face of the filter 212 is attached to the front end face of the annular boss 121 so that the filter 212 is fixed relative to the second mounting portion 120. The filter 212 is adhered to the annular boss 121 by glue.

[0039] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The front end of the second mounting portion 120 is located in front of the front end of the first mounting portion 110. It can be understood that when the lens 220 is installed on the first mounting portion 110, the lens 220 itself has a length along the front-to-back direction. The length of the lens 220 and the first mounting portion 110 along the front-to-back direction is close to the length of the second mounting portion 120 along the front-to-back direction, ensuring that the overall length of the cabin camera along the front-to-back direction is short, thereby reducing the occupied space. At the same time, the second mounting portion 120 is used to assemble the fill light component 210, which reasonably allocates the volume of the cabin camera and avoids the occurrence of redundant volume and the increase of the volume of the cabin camera.

[0040] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The front surface of the housing 100 is provided with heat dissipation fins 130 to increase the heat dissipation area within the housing 100. It is understood that the front end of the heat dissipation fins 130 is located behind the front end of the second mounting portion 120, thereby avoiding increasing the total length of the in-cabin camera in the front-to-back direction. Furthermore, compared to increasing the volume of the housing 100 by providing heat dissipation fins 130 within the housing 100, providing the heat dissipation fins 130 on the front surface of the housing 100 ensures that the interior of the housing 100 is suitable for the control board 200, thereby avoiding redundant space within the interior of the housing 100. Preferably, the plurality of heat dissipation fins 130 are arranged in a vertically spaced arrangement, with the right end of the heat dissipation fin 130 connected to the side wall of the second mounting portion 120, the left end of the heat dissipation fin 130 connected to the left end of the housing 100, and some heat dissipation fins 130 being blocked by the first mounting portion 110.

[0041] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The shell 100 includes a front shell 140 and a rear cover 150. The front shell 140 and the rear cover 150 are detachably connected. The control board 200 is installed in the front shell 140. When the front shell 140 and the rear cover 150 are separated from each other, the control board 200 can be easily installed in the front shell 140.

[0042] Preferably, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The upper side of the rear cover 150 is provided with a downwardly extending notch 160, and the rear side of the front shell 140 is provided with a connecting tube 170, the front end of which is in communication with the inner cavity of the front shell 140. The front shell 140 can be moved from top to bottom so that the connecting tube 170 downwardly enters the notch 160, thereby locating and assembling the front shell 140 and the rear cover 150. When the front shell 140 and the rear cover 150 are connected, the connecting tube 170 is inserted into the notch 160, so that the vehicle circuit can enter the housing 100 through the connecting tube 170 and then connect to the control board 200.
