Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of vehicle structures, and in particular to a vehicle-mounted camera mounting structure and a vehicle. Background Art
[0002] As people's quality of life improves, the safety and intelligence of vehicles are gaining increasing attention. Cameras, as simple and reliable video input devices, can monitor the surrounding conditions of cars while they are parked or moving, and have become widely used in vehicles.
[0003] Existing in-vehicle cameras typically use a fixed bracket to secure the camera to an opening in a vehicle body accessory. To improve the camera's imaging quality, the camera lens must be centered in the accessory opening. This not only tests the manufacturing precision of the relevant structure, but also the installation accuracy of the associated connection structure. However, vehicle body accessory structures are large and difficult to control with precision. Poor mounting point accuracy can easily lead to a mismatch between the camera lens and the accessory opening, causing the camera to become off-center. This not only results in poor imaging quality, but can also easily cause the camera lens to be squeezed and damaged while the vehicle is in motion. Utility Model Content

[0032] Example embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, example embodiments can be implemented in many forms and should not be construed as limited to the examples set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that this application will be thorough and complete and will fully convey the concepts of the example embodiments to those skilled in the art.

However, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the technical scheme of the present application can be put into practice without one or more of the specific details, or other methods, components, devices, steps etc. can be adopted.

[0034] The present application is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that the technical features involved in the various embodiments of the present application described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present application, and should not be understood as limiting the present application.
[0035] It should be noted that the front-back direction, the up-down direction, and the left-right direction described in the embodiments of the present application are based on Figure 1 and Figure 2 The front, back, left, right, up and down directions or positions shown in are indicated and will not be repeated later.
[0036] like Figures 1 to 3 as well as Figure 6 As shown, this embodiment provides a vehicle-mounted camera mounting structure for fixing a camera assembly 5 having a front lens 51 and a camera body 52. The mounting structure includes a vehicle body accessory 1 and a bracket body 2 fixedly connected to the vehicle body accessory 1. The vehicle body accessory 1 has an opening 11 opened in the front-to-back direction; the bracket body 2 includes a front bracket 21 and a rear bracket 22, wherein the front bracket 21 has a first mounting surface 2121 and a second mounting surface 2122 arranged opposite to each other in the front-to-back direction, the first mounting surface 2121 is matched with the opening 11, and the first mounting surface 2122 is fixedly connected to the vehicle body accessory 1. 121 is provided with a through hole 211 suitable for matching with the front end lens 51 of the camera assembly 5, and the through hole 211 passes through the first mounting surface 2121 and the second mounting surface 2122 in the front-to-back direction; the rear end bracket 22 has a retaining groove 221 suitable for matching with the camera body 52 of the camera assembly 5, and the retaining groove 221 is arranged toward the second mounting surface 2122 and corresponds to the through hole 211; the rear end bracket 22 is detachably connected to the front end bracket 21 through the first fastening assembly 23, so as to be suitable for supporting the camera assembly 5 between the rear end bracket 22 and the front end bracket 21. In this way, the dimensional tolerance and installation tolerance conflicts between the camera assembly 5 and the vehicle body accessory 1 are transferred to the front end bracket 21 and the vehicle body accessory 1. The smaller size structure of the front end bracket 21 can ensure the production accuracy of the through hole 211. The detachable connection between the front end bracket 21 and the rear end bracket 22 can conveniently, quickly and effectively realize the installation of the camera assembly 5, and ensure the matching accuracy of the front end lens 51 of the camera assembly 5 at the through hole 211; and then use the first mounting surface 2121 of the front end bracket 21 to perform corresponding connection with the opening 11 of the vehicle body accessory 1 for surface matching, which can ensure that the front end lens 51 is centered at the opening 11 of the vehicle body accessory 1, which not only improves the imaging effect of the vehicle-mounted camera, but also avoids direct contact between the vehicle body accessory 1 and the camera assembly 5, reduces the impact of bumps and shakes on the camera assembly 5 during vehicle driving, and reduces the failure rate of the camera assembly 5.
[0037] It is understood that the fixed connection between the bracket body 2 and the vehicle body accessory 1 can be achieved by fixing the front bracket 21 to the vehicle body accessory 1 or by fixing the rear bracket 22 to the vehicle body accessory 1. The fixed connection can be achieved by welding, clamping, bolting, etc., which will not be described in detail here. The matching connection between the first mounting surface 2121 and the opening 11 can be achieved by inserting and overlapping the circumferential edge of the first mounting surface 2121 on the inner side of the opening 11. After the bracket body 2 is fixedly connected to the vehicle body accessory 1, the through hole 211 of the front bracket 21 and the opening 11 of the vehicle body accessory 1 can be considered to be in the same plane in the front-to-back direction, and there is no visual interference around the through hole 211. When the front lens 51 is located in the through hole 211, it can effectively obtain image data outside the vehicle.
[0038] It is also understood that the detachable connection between the front bracket 21 and the rear bracket 22 via the first fastening assembly 23 can be achieved by bolt connection, mortise and tenon connection, bolt fixation after docking, bolt fixation after plugging, or male-female snap connection, etc. The corresponding first fastening assembly 23 can be a connecting bolt, a male-female snap assembly, or a mortise and tenon structure, etc., which will not be described in detail here. The camera assembly 5 is supported between the rear bracket 22 and the front bracket 21. The camera assembly 5 can be supported by clamping the camera assembly 5 between the rear bracket 22 and the front bracket 21, such as by using the retaining groove 221 and the second mounting surface 2122 to achieve front-to-back clamping, etc.; or the camera assembly 5 can be fixedly connected to the rear bracket 22 or the front bracket 21, such as by fixing the camera body 52 in the retaining groove 221 by bolts, etc., so as to support the camera assembly 5 between the rear bracket 22 and the front bracket 21. The specific method is not limited and will not be described in detail here.
[0039] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, at least three limiting ribs 21221 are provided on the second mounting surface 2122 of the front bracket 21. The at least three limiting ribs 21221 are distributed circumferentially around the through hole 211 and extend rearward from the second mounting surface 2122. Thus, when the front lens 51 is correspondingly and matchedly mounted in the through hole 211 of the front bracket 21, the limiting ribs 21221 can limit and support the front lens 51 in the circumferential or radial directions, ensuring a secure and reliable installation of the camera assembly 5 and a stable connection, thereby preventing the front lens 51 from falling out of the through hole 211. Furthermore, the limiting ribs 21221 can also enhance the structural strength of the plane on which the second mounting surface 2122 is located, thereby improving the deformation resistance of the front bracket 21.
[0040] It is understood that the front lens 51 includes a lens and a housing, and the housing is also the support structure of the lens. The limiting ribs 21221 can act on the circumference of the housing to achieve circumferential or radial limiting and support for the front lens 51, which will not be described in detail here. In some embodiments, the limiting ribs 21221 can also use their ends away from the second mounting surface 2122 to abut against the front end of the camera body 52 when the camera assembly 5 is supported between the front bracket 21 and the rear bracket 22, and cooperate with the rear bracket 22 to provide limiting support in the front-to-back direction, so as to clamp the camera assembly 5 between the front bracket 21 and the rear bracket 22.
[0041] It can also be understood that the end of the above-mentioned limiting rib 21221 close to the through hole 211 can extend along the second mounting surface 2122 to be flush with the circumferential edge of the through hole 211, and the front end lens 51 is supported together by the limiting rib 21221 and the through hole 211; the end of the above-mentioned limiting rib 21221 close to the through hole 211 can also extend to the radial range of the through hole 211. At this time, the radial size of the through hole 211 is slightly larger than the front end lens 51 and does not contact the front end lens 51. The front end lens 51 is supported only by the limiting rib 21221, and the front end lens 51 is centered at the through hole 211, further improving the centering installation accuracy of the front end lens 51.
[0042] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in the radial direction of the through hole 211, a guide portion 21220 is provided on the side of the limiting rib 21221 near the through hole 211. The guide portion 21220 is constructed as an inclined surface extending from the outside to the inside along the radial direction of the through hole 211 and from the back to the front along the front-to-back direction. In this way, the limiting rib 21221 can have a guiding and centering function, improving the adaptability of the connection between the front bracket 21 and the rear bracket 22. That is, even if there is a slight deviation in the alignment of the front lens 51 and the through hole 211, the guide portion 21220 can still guide the front lens 51 into the through hole 211, ensuring the matching connection between the front lens 51 and the through hole 211.
[0043] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, at least one of the limiting ribs 21221 is a limiting block 21222, which is extended along the circumference of the through hole 211. When the front end lens 51 is extended into the through hole 211, it can roughly fit the circumference of the outer shell of the front end lens 51, thereby increasing the contact area with the front end lens 51 and ensuring the connection stability of the front end lens 51 at the through hole 211.
[0044] For example, if Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, in this embodiment, the second mounting surface 2122 of the front bracket 21 is provided with three limiting ribs 21221 and a limiting block 21222, wherein the three limiting ribs 21221 are arranged on the lower side and the left and right sides of the through hole 211 in the circumferential direction, and the limiting block 21222 is arranged on the upper side of the through hole 211 in the circumferential direction (it can also be understood that a limiting rib 21221 is provided on each of the upper, lower, left and right sides of the through hole 211 in the circumferential direction, and then the limiting rib on the upper side is arranged along the through hole 211 The circumferential direction of the ribs 21221 and the limit blocks 21222 are extended and widened to form a limit block 21222). In this way, when installing the camera assembly 5, the limit ribs 21221 and the limit blocks 21222 can guide and center the front-end lens 51 in the circumferential direction of the through hole 211, and after the installation is completed, the front-end lens 51 is limited and supported on the four circumferential sides of the through hole 211. This not only allows for quick installation and reliable connection, but also ensures that the front-end lens 51 is centered at the through hole 211 and the opening 11 of the vehicle body accessory 1.
[0045] In the above embodiment, a plurality of detachable connection modes of the front bracket 21 and the rear bracket 22 through the first fastening assembly 23 are described. In order to reduce the difficulty of assembly, further adopting Figure 1 The first fastening assembly 23 shown realizes the detachable connection between the front bracket 21 and the rear bracket 22. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the first fastening component 23 includes a first clip 231 and a second clip 232 matching the first clip 231. The first clip 231 is arranged on the rear end bracket 22, and the second clip 232 is correspondingly arranged on the front end bracket 21. In this way, the front end bracket 21 and the rear end bracket 22 can be fixedly connected by the clip-fitting of the first clip 231 and the second clip 232. The connection is stable and reliable, and is more convenient and quick than connection methods such as bolts. The camera assembly 5 can be installed and disassembled without special tools, which helps to improve production efficiency.
[0046] It can be understood that the engaging method of the first clamping member 231 and the second clamping member 232 includes but is not limited to the engaging structure mentioned in the prior art such as the male and female stoppers matching and locking, and can be unlocked by pressing or pulling any clamping member, etc., which will not be repeated here.
[0047] Furthermore, if Figures 2 to 7As shown, the rear end bracket 22 includes a first mounting portion 222 and two first connecting portions 223, the first mounting portion 222 is defined by a retaining groove 221, and the two first connecting portions 223 are distributed on the left and right sides of the first mounting portion 222 along the left-right direction; the front end bracket 21 includes a second mounting portion 212 and two second connecting portions 213, the second mounting portion 212 is defined by a first mounting surface 2121 and a second mounting surface 2122, and the two second connecting portions 213 are distributed on the left and right sides of the second mounting portion 212 along the left-right direction; the second connecting portion 213 is detachably connected to the first connecting portion 223 through a first fastening assembly 23, wherein the first clamping member 231 is provided on the first connecting portion 223, and the second clamping member 232 is provided on the second connecting portion 213. By setting the first connecting part 223 and the second connecting part 213, the connection between the front bracket 21 and the rear bracket 22 can be realized in the horizontal direction. Compared with the connection parts set on the upper and lower sides of the bracket body 2, the connection parts on the left and right sides can evenly share the load of the bracket body 2 and the camera assembly 5, making the overall structural connection stable.
[0048] It is understood that the camera body 52 is provided with a harness connector 53 for externally connecting to the vehicle harness for power supply and data transmission. Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, a positioning slot 2211 can be opened on the bottom side wall of the retaining groove 221 facing the front end bracket 21 and extending through the front and rear directions. The wiring harness connector 53 is set at the rear end of the camera body 52. The wiring harness connector 53 can pass through the positioning slot 2211 and extend out of the rear end bracket 22 to connect to the vehicle wiring harness externally, and the setting orientation of the positioning slot 2211 does not affect the overall structural strength of the rear end bracket 22.
[0049] Preferably, if Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the first clamping member 231 is a slot, and the second clamping member 232 is a buckle. The slot is provided through the first connecting portion 223 along the front-to-back direction, and the second connecting portion 213 is movably inserted into the slot along the front-to-back direction. When the slot is moved to a preset position, the buckle can engage with the slot. In this way, the camera assembly 5 can be quickly and easily supported and fixed between the front bracket 21 and the rear bracket 22. At the same time, the engagement between the slot and the buckle is not easy to fall off after being locked, and the structure is more stable. Similarly, in other embodiments, the first clamping member 231 can be designed as a buckle and the second clamping member 232 can be designed as a slot, which can also achieve the above-mentioned effect. No further details are given here.
[0050] Generally speaking, when the production and assembly precision of the overall structure is high, the camera assembly 5 can be firmly supported between the front bracket 21 and the rear bracket 22. However, when the production and assembly precision is insufficient or the structure is fatigued and deformed due to long-term use, the camera assembly 5 may be loose between the front bracket 21 and the rear bracket 22. Therefore, in some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, the vehicle-mounted camera mounting structure also includes a second fastening component 3, the second fastening component 3 includes a first fastening bolt 31 and a first threaded through hole 32 and a first threaded countersunk hole 33 matching the first fastening bolt 31, the first threaded through hole 32 is arranged on the rear end bracket 22, and the first threaded countersunk hole 33 is arranged on the camera body 52, and the first fastening bolt 31 cooperates with the first threaded through hole 32 and the first threaded countersunk hole 33 to achieve a fixed connection between the camera body 52 and the rear end bracket 22, thereby preventing the camera component 5 from loosening between the rear end bracket 22 and the front end bracket 21. At the same time, under the action of the second fastening component 3, the camera body 52 and the rear end bracket 22 can be fixed in relative positions, ensuring effective matching between the front end lens 51 and the through hole 211 of the front end bracket 21.
[0051] For example, if Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the first threaded through hole 32 is arranged on the bottom side wall of the retaining groove 221 of the first mounting portion 222 of the rear end bracket 22, and the first threaded countersunk hole 33 is arranged on the end face of the camera body 52 away from the front end lens 51. The camera assembly 5 is matched and installed with the front end lens 51 corresponding to the through hole 211 of the front end bracket 21 to ensure that the front end lens 51 is centered. Then the rear end bracket 22 and the front end bracket 21 are clamped to clamp the camera assembly 5 therebetween. Finally, the first fastening bolt 31 is screwed into the first threaded through hole 32 from the end of the first threaded through hole 32 away from the camera body 52 and connected to the first threaded countersunk hole 33 to achieve a fixed connection between the camera body 52 and the rear end bracket 22 to prevent the camera assembly 5 from loosening. At this time, the camera body 52 and the rear end bracket 22 can also be fixed in relative positions to ensure effective matching of the front end lens 51 and the through hole 211 of the front end bracket 21.
[0052] It is understandable that when the overall structural accuracy is relatively high, the first threaded through hole 32 can also be free of threads and only used as a through connection hole. After the camera body 52 and the rear end bracket 22 are fixed together, they are correspondingly inserted and connected to the front end bracket 21, which can also ensure the effective matching of the front end lens 51 and the front end bracket 21.
[0053] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 6As shown, the vehicle-mounted camera mounting structure also includes a third fastening component 4, which includes a second fastening bolt 41 and a second threaded through hole 42 and a second threaded countersunk hole 43 that match the second fastening bolt 41. The second threaded through hole 42 is set in the bracket body 2, and the second threaded countersunk hole 43 is set in the vehicle body accessory 1. The second fastening bolt 41 cooperates with the second threaded through hole 42 and the second threaded countersunk hole 43 to achieve a fixed connection between the bracket body 2 and the vehicle body accessory 1. In this way, under the action of the third fastening component 4, the bracket body 2 and the vehicle body accessory 1 can be fixed in relative positions, ensuring that the first mounting surface 2121 of the front end bracket 21 is effectively matched with the opening 11 of the vehicle body accessory 1.
[0054] For example, if Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the second threaded through hole 42 is provided in the rear end bracket 22 and is located at the first connecting portion 223, and the second threaded countersunk hole 43 is correspondingly provided on the mounting seat 12 of the vehicle body accessory 1. The second fastening bolt 41 is screwed into the second threaded through hole 42 from the end of the second threaded through hole 42 away from the second threaded countersunk hole 43 and connected to the second threaded countersunk hole 43, thereby achieving a fixed connection between the rear end bracket 22 and the vehicle body accessory 1; at this time, the bracket body 2 and the vehicle body accessory 1 can also be fixed in relative positions, ensuring that the first mounting surface 2121 of the front end bracket 21 is effectively matched with the opening 11 of the vehicle body accessory 1.
[0055] It can be understood that, when the overall structural accuracy is relatively high, the second threaded through hole 42 can also cancel the thread setting and serve only as a through connection hole. The second fastening bolt 41 passes through the non-threaded connection hole and is connected to the second threaded countersunk hole 43, which can also achieve a fixed connection between the bracket body 2 and the vehicle body accessory 1 without affecting the effective matching of the front end bracket 21 and the vehicle body accessory 1.
