Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of unmanned driving technology, and specifically relates to a locator for optimizing the path of an autonomous driving vehicle. Background Art

[0002] Self-driving cars, also known as driverless cars or smart cars, are vehicles that can operate autonomously without the need for a human driver, relying on onboard sensing systems, control systems, and artificial intelligence technologies. To ensure real-time position feedback without any human intervention, the car's position sensor is crucial.

[0003] Existing patent CN217892705U discloses a multifunctional GPS locator for unmanned vehicles, which relates to the field of unmanned driving technology. It includes a mounting sleeve body, a docking sleeve is provided inside the mounting sleeve body, the bottom of the docking sleeve is closed, and guide grooves are provided on both inner walls of the docking sleeve. Guide blocks are slidably connected inside the two guide grooves, and a pressure plate is fixed between the opposite sides of the two guide blocks. The utility model provides a spring and a pressure plate, which cooperates with the card slot to enable the GPS locator to be engaged and positioned, thereby avoiding the traditional fixed installation and facilitating people's disassembly. It solves the problem that the current installation of GPS locators on unmanned vehicles is usually fixed. This installation method is not convenient for people to subsequently disassemble the GPS locator, and when installed in a narrow space area, it is not convenient to lock it with external bolts, which is not convenient for people to actually operate.

[0004] Although the above-mentioned existing technology can easily install and disassemble the locator, it is simply fixed by rotating the clamping block and engaging it with the positioning hole, which makes the locator very easy to loosen. Therefore, we propose a locator for autonomous vehicle path optimization to solve the above problem. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a locator for optimizing the path of an autonomous driving vehicle, so as to solve the problems existing in the background technology.

[0006] In order to achieve the above technical objectives, the technical solutions adopted by this utility model are as follows:

[0007] A positioner for optimizing the path of an autonomous vehicle comprises a mounting tube, a rubber ring provided at the lower end of the mounting tube, a connecting ring provided at the upper end of the mounting tube, a mounting cover provided with a threaded sleeve on the outer side of the connecting ring, a through slot provided in the middle of the upper end of the mounting cover, a chuck provided within the through slot, a positioning sensor fixed to the upper end of the chuck, and a locking assembly provided within both the mounting tube and the connecting ring.

[0008] The locking assembly includes a piston head, which is sealed and slidably arranged inside the mounting cylinder. A lower connecting block is rotatably provided on the upper end of the piston head. A connecting rod is threadedly connected to the middle part of the upper end of the lower connecting block. An upper connecting block is fixed to the upper end of the connecting rod, and the upper connecting block is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting ring.

[0009] It is further defined that a limiting block is fixed on the lower side of the inner wall of the connecting ring, the upper end of the limiting block abuts against the lower end of the upper connecting block, and the lower end of the limiting block is threadedly connected to the upper side of the inner wall of the mounting tube.

[0010] It is further defined that a cross groove is formed at the upper end of the upper connecting block.

[0011] It is further defined that a protective ring net is provided at the upper edge of the installation cover, and a top cover is clamped at the upper end of the protective ring net.

[0012] It is further defined that the outer side of the protective ring net is set to be an arc shape.

[0013] It is further defined that the outer side of the top cover is provided with anti-slip grooves.

[0014] Beneficial effects of the utility model:

[0015] 1. The positioner is designed with a locking assembly. By rotating the upper connecting block, the positioner can be easily installed or removed without complicated tools or steps. At the same time, whether it is a smooth or uneven mounting surface, the positioner can be firmly installed through different installation methods (negative pressure adsorption or clamping installation).

[0016] 2. By setting the rubber ring and protective ring net, it can not only effectively prevent external gas from entering the installation tube, ensuring the internal environment of the positioner is stable, but also provide additional protection and heat dissipation for the positioner to prevent external impact or damage.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solution of the present invention is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0024] Example 1:

[0025] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, a positioner for path optimization of an autonomous vehicle includes a mounting tube 100, a rubber ring 101 being provided at the lower end of the mounting tube 100, a connecting ring 102 being installed at the upper end of the mounting tube 100, a mounting cover 103 being threadedly sleeved on the outer side of the connecting ring 102, a through slot being provided in the middle of the upper end of the mounting cover 103, a chuck 104 being clamped in the through slot, a positioning sensor 105 being fixed to the upper end of the chuck 104, and a locking assembly being provided inside both the mounting tube 100 and the connecting ring 102;

[0026] The locking assembly includes a piston head 106, which is sealed and slidably arranged inside the mounting cylinder 100. A lower connecting block 107 is rotatably provided at the upper end of the piston head 106. A connecting rod 108 is threadedly connected to the middle part of the upper end of the lower connecting block 107. An upper connecting block 109 is fixed to the upper end of the connecting rod 108, and the upper connecting block 109 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting ring 102.

[0027] The piston head 106 slides sealed inside the mounting cylinder 100, and the lower connecting block 107 is connected to the piston head 106 by a connecting rod 108; the rubber ring 101 can prevent gas from entering the interior of the mounting cylinder 100; the connecting ring 102 provides space for threaded connection for the upper connecting block 109; the mounting cover 103 can not only install the positioning sensor 105, but also limit the upper connecting block 109 from moving out of the connecting ring 102; the positioning sensor 105 fixed by the chuck 104 can make it more convenient for staff to install or replace; the positioning sensor 105 can send a signal, allowing staff to determine the position of the autonomous driving vehicle in real time; the locking assembly can facilitate the staff to install the positioning sensor 105; the upper connecting block 109 rotates, which can drive the connecting rod 108 to rotate, and the connecting rod 108 drives the lower connecting block 107 to rotate. Since the lower connecting block 107 is rotatably connected to the piston head 106, the lower connecting block 107 will drive the piston head 106 to move.

[0028] When the surface of the installation location is smooth: directly put the lower end of the installation cylinder 100 into contact with the installation surface. At this time, the rubber ring 101 will also be in close contact with the installation surface, so that the piston head 106 and the installation surface are in a sealed state. Then, rotate the upper connecting block 109 so that the upper connecting block 109 drives the connecting rod 108, the lower connecting block 107 and the piston head 106 to slide upward along the inner wall of the installation cylinder 100. In this way, the space between the installation cylinder 100 and the installation surface will increase, forming a negative pressure, so that the installation cylinder 100 is adsorbed on the installation surface, and the positioning sensor 105 is installed.

[0029] Among them, when the surface of the installation location is not smooth: a mounting hole can also be opened at the installation location, the mounting tube 100 and the connecting ring 102 can be separated, and then the connecting rod 108 can be passed through the inside of the mounting hole, and then the mounting tube 100 and the connecting ring 102 can be connected to the two ends of the connecting rod 108, so that the mounting tube 100 and the connecting ring 102 can clamp the inside and outside of the mounting hole, and then the positioning sensor 105 can also be installed.

[0030] In this embodiment, the upper connecting block 109 rotates inside the connecting ring 102, indirectly driving the connecting rod 108, the lower connecting block 107 and the piston head 106 to move inside the mounting cylinder 100, thereby increasing the space inside the mounting cylinder 100 between the piston head 106 and the mounting surface, forming a negative pressure inside the mounting cylinder 100, and allowing the mounting cylinder 100 to be adsorbed on the mounting surface. This not only makes it easier for installers to install the positioning sensor 105, but also prevents the positioning sensor 105 from loosening.

[0031] Example 2:

[0032] like Figure 1-Figure 3As shown, based on Example 1, other components on a locator for path optimization of an autonomous driving vehicle are further described. A limit block 200 is fixed on the lower side of the inner wall of the connecting ring 102, the upper end of the limit block 200 abuts against the lower end of the upper connecting block 109, and the lower end of the limit block 200 is threadedly connected to the upper side of the inner wall of the mounting tube 100.

[0033] A cross slot 201 is formed at the upper end of the upper connecting block 109 .

[0034] A protective ring net 202 is provided on the upper edge of the installation cover 103 , and a top cover 203 is clamped on the upper end of the protective ring net 202 .

[0035] The outer side of the protective ring net 202 is configured to be in an arc shape.

[0036] The outer side of the top cover 203 is provided with anti-slip grooves.

[0037] In this embodiment, the limiting block 200 can not only limit the upper connecting block 109 , but also allow the connecting ring 102 to be connected to the mounting tube 100 .

[0038] The cross groove 201 allows a worker to better rotate the upper connecting block 109 by using a tool.

[0039] The top cover 203 cooperates with the protective ring net 202 to completely protect the positioning sensor 105 .

[0040] The protective ring net 202 is wrapped around the outside of the positioning sensor 105, which not only protects the positioning sensor 105, but also facilitates the heat dissipation of the positioning sensor 105 because the protective ring net 202 is arranged in a grid shape. At the same time, since the outside of the protective ring net 202 is arranged in an arc shape, dust will not accumulate on the surface of the protective ring net 202.

[0041] The anti-slip grooves on the outside of the top cover 203 can increase the friction between the top cover 203 and the hands of the installer, which makes it easier for the installer to remove the top cover 203.

[0042] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Anyone skilled in the art may modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by persons skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical principles disclosed herein shall be covered by the claims of the present invention.
