Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of panoramic image modules, and in particular to a positioning device for installing a 360-degree panoramic image module. Background Art

[0002] People have increasingly higher requirements for in-vehicle intelligence and safety awareness. In-vehicle terminals collect images of the vehicle's surroundings through 360-degree panoramic imaging and stitch them into a complete image, allowing drivers to quickly see the surrounding vehicle conditions without getting out of the vehicle.

[0003] The 360-degree panoramic imaging module processes the images collected by each camera. Some 360-degree panoramic imaging modules are installed on the side panels of the car. The corresponding installation positions are reserved for the side panels during molding. In actual applications, the 360-degree panoramic imaging module is generally manually locked on the side panels of the car with bolts. However, since the installation position is on the side and the module has an irregular structure, manual operation is not convenient for simultaneous positioning and bolt tightening, and the module may fall before installation is completed, causing damage to the module. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the shortcomings of the prior art and to propose a positioning device for installing a 360-degree panoramic image module.

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] A positioning device for installing a panoramic image module includes a tool frame and a mounting frame. The tool frame has a base fixedly mounted on the top, and two connecting columns are symmetrically arranged on one side of the top of the base. The tops of the two connecting columns are rotatably connected to a mounting frame. Four fixed sleeves are installed at the four corners of the mounting frame. A sliding rod is slidably connected in each fixed sleeve. A positioning mechanism is provided between the tops of each two opposing sliding rods.

[0007] It also includes a module compartment, in which a panoramic imaging module is installed. The bottom of both ends of the module compartment are provided with mounting blocks of different structures. The top of the module compartment is a special-shaped step structure, and a heat dissipation vent is opened on the top of the module compartment.

[0008] The positioning mechanism includes a guide rod and a positioning block. The top opposite surface of each sliding rod is fixedly connected to a guide rod, and the end of each guide rod is fixedly installed with a positioning block.

[0009] Preferably, a support column is fixedly connected to the other side of the top end of the base, and the top end of the support column abuts against one side of the bottom end of the mounting bracket.

[0010] Preferably, the bottom end of the base is rotatably connected to two electric telescopic rods, and the telescopic ends of the two electric telescopic rods are rotatably connected to both sides of the bottom end of the mounting frame.

[0011] Preferably, an X-shaped connecting frame is provided below the guide rod, and the four corners of the X-shaped connecting frame are respectively fixedly connected to the top side walls of the four sliding rods.

[0012] Preferably, an electric cylinder is fixedly mounted at the bottom center of the mounting frame, and the telescopic end of the electric cylinder is fixedly connected to the bottom center of the X-shaped connecting frame.

[0013] Preferably, an electric slider is slidably connected to the guide rod, and a special-shaped clamp is fixedly installed between every two adjacent electric sliders, and the special-shaped clamp is adapted to the top structure of the module compartment.

[0014] Preferably, a positioning groove is provided on the top of the positioning block, and the distance between every two positioning grooves is the same as the width of the mounting block.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0016] The utility model provides a positioning mechanism and a special-shaped clamp. The positioning mechanism positions the installation block through four positioning blocks, and cooperates with the clamping of the special-shaped clamp so that each module bin can be fixed in position before installation, reducing damage problems caused by manual operation, and improving the standardization of the installation process, which also has a positive effect on improving installation efficiency. The special-shaped clamp structure is adapted to the module bin, which can better fit the module bin and make the clamping stable. The special-shaped clamp can also protect the heat dissipation port to prevent damage during the installation process. The electric slider drives the special-shaped clamp to move to achieve the clamping and release of the module bin.

[0017] The utility model provides a mounting frame, and an electric telescopic rod can push the mounting frame to rotate around the top of the connecting column, so that the mounting frame carrying the module compartment can be flipped 90 degrees, which facilitates the locking of the module compartment on the side panel of the car. After the mounting frame and the module compartment are rotated to a vertical state, the electric cylinder is started to extend and push the X-shaped connecting frame and the sliding rod to slide, thereby pushing the module compartment to a predetermined installation position, and the mounting block can be connected to the side panel of the car by a locking screw machine, which can effectively improve the degree of automation and standardization of installation.

[0024] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0025] Reference Figure 1-5 A positioning device for installing a 360-degree panoramic image module includes a fixture frame 1 and a mounting frame 6. A base 2 is fixedly installed on the top of the fixture frame 1. Two connecting columns 4 are symmetrically provided on one side of the top of the base 2. The tops of the two connecting columns 4 are rotatably connected to a mounting frame 6. Four fixed sleeves 7 are installed at the four corners of the mounting frame 6. A sliding rod 8 is slidably connected in each fixed sleeve 7. A positioning mechanism 10 is provided between the tops of each two opposing sliding rods 8.

[0026] The module compartment 17 further includes a module compartment 17 in which a 360-degree panoramic imaging module is installed. Mounting blocks 18 of different structures are provided at the bottoms of both ends of the module compartment 17. The top of the module compartment 17 is a special-shaped stepped structure. A heat dissipation vent 19 is provided at the top of the module compartment 17.

[0027] The positioning mechanism 10 includes guide rods 11 and positioning blocks 14. A guide rod 11 is fixedly connected to the top opposing surface of each sliding rod 8, and a positioning block 14 is fixedly mounted at the end of each guide rod 11. The fixture 1 and base 2 are installed in an automobile production line, aligning with the production process to install 360-degree panoramic imaging modules on the vehicle side panels. The module compartment 17 is connected to the vehicle side panel via mounting blocks 18. After installation, the special-shaped stepped structure at the top of the module compartment 17 creates a gap between the heat dissipation vent 19 and the plastic part of the vehicle side panel, facilitating heat dissipation. One mounting block 18 has a fixed bolt hole, primarily for positioning, while the other two mounting blocks 18 are open-ended, allowing for application on vehicle side panels of varying specifications. The positioning mechanism 10 uses four positioning blocks 14 to position the mounting blocks 18. Combined with the clamping of the special-shaped fixture 13, each module compartment 17 is fixed in place before installation, reducing damage caused by manual operation and standardizing the installation process, which in turn contributes to improved installation efficiency.

[0028] As a technical optimization solution of the present invention, a support column 3 is fixedly connected to the other side of the top of the base 2, and the top of the support column 3 abuts one side of the bottom end of the mounting bracket 6. The support column 3 is used to support the mounting bracket 6, making the mounting bracket 6 stable, so that the stability of the mounting bracket 6 and the electric telescopic rod 5 will not be affected when the module compartment 17 is placed.

[0029] As a technical optimization solution of the present invention, the bottom end of the base 2 is rotatably connected to two electric telescopic rods 5. The telescopic ends of the two electric telescopic rods 5 are rotatably connected to the bottom ends of the mounting bracket 6. When the electric telescopic rods 5 are extended, the mounting bracket 6 is rotated around the top of the connecting column 4, so that the mounting bracket 6 and the module compartment 17 are rotated to a vertical position, facilitating the locking of the module compartment 17 to the vehicle side panel. When the electric telescopic rods 5 are retracted, the mounting bracket 6 returns to a horizontal position, facilitating the placement of the next module compartment 17.

[0030] As a technical optimization solution of the present invention, an X-shaped connecting frame 9 is provided below the guide rod 11, and the four corners of the X-shaped connecting frame 9 are fixedly connected to the top side walls of the four sliding rods 8. The X-shaped connecting frame 9 enables the four sliding rods 8 to be linked, so that the positioning mechanism 10 and the module compartment 17 can be moved stably.

[0031] As a technical optimization solution of the present invention, an electric cylinder 16 is fixedly mounted at the bottom center of the mounting frame 6. The telescopic end of the electric cylinder 16 is fixedly connected to the bottom center of the X-shaped connecting frame 9. After the mounting frame 6 is rotated to a vertical position with the module compartment 17, the electric cylinder 16 is activated to extend and push the X-shaped connecting frame 9 and the sliding rod 8 to push the module compartment 17 to the predetermined installation position. The mounting block 18 can then be connected to the vehicle side panel using a screwdriver, effectively improving the automation and standardization of the installation.

[0032] As a technical optimization solution of the present invention, an electric slider 12 is slidably connected to the guide rod 11. A special-shaped clamp 13 is fixedly installed between every two adjacent electric sliders 12. The special-shaped clamp 13 is adapted to the top structure of the module compartment 17. Due to the special-shaped stepped structure of the module compartment 17, the special-shaped clamp 13 structure that matches the module compartment 17 is adapted to the module compartment 17, which can better fit the module compartment 17, ensuring stable clamping. The special-shaped clamp 13 can also protect the heat dissipation vent 19 to prevent damage during installation. The electric slider 12 drives the special-shaped clamp 13 to move to achieve the clamping and release of the module compartment 17.

[0033] As a technical optimization solution of the present invention, a positioning slot 15 is formed on the top of the positioning block 14. The spacing between each two positioning slots 15 is the same as the width of the mounting block 18. The positioning block 14 is fixed relative to the mounting frame 6. The mounting block 18 of each module compartment 17 is placed in the positioning slot 15. The side of the positioning block 14 is a trapezoidal structure for easy placement, which can achieve the position fixation of the module compartment 17. Then, by clamping with the special-shaped clamp 13, the module compartment 17 can be stably fixed above the mounting frame 6, facilitating the electric telescopic rod 5 to rotate the mounting frame 6 90 degrees.

[0034] When the present invention is in use, the tooling frame 1 and the base 2 are set in the automobile production line, and the 360-degree panoramic image module is installed on the automobile side panel in accordance with the production method of the assembly line. The module compartment 17 is reversed into an inverted state, and then the mounting blocks 18 at both ends of the module compartment 17 are placed in the positioning grooves 15, so that the position of the module compartment 17 can be fixed. The electric slider 12 is started, and the electric slider 12 drives the two special-shaped clamps 13 to approach each other and finally stably clamp the module compartment 17. The special-shaped clamps 13 can also protect the heat dissipation port 19. At this time, the electric telescopic rod 5 is controlled to extend to push the mounting frame 6 around the connection The top of the column 4 rotates, so that the mounting frame 6 carrying the module bin 17 rotates to a vertical state. The electric cylinder 16 is started to extend to push the X-shaped connecting frame 9 and the sliding rod 8 to slide, and the module bin 17 can be pushed to the predetermined installation position. The mounting block 18 can be connected to the side panel of the car through a screw locking machine. After the installation is completed, the electric slider 12 drives the two special-shaped clamps 13 away from each other, and the electric cylinder 16 contracts to drive the X-shaped connecting frame 9 and the sliding rod 8 to slide, which can drive the positioning block 14 to detach from the installed module bin 17. At this time, the electric telescopic rod 5 contracts, which can restore the mounting frame 6 to a horizontal state, facilitating the placement of the next module bin 17.

[0035] The above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this. Any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
