Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of protective covers, in particular to a waterproof and dustproof rearview camera protective cover. Background Art

[0002] Most vehicle-mounted rearview cameras are installed on the outside of the car. In order to ensure the camera function of the rearview camera, some camera protective covers with dustproof and waterproof effects or cameras with good waterproof and dustproof effects have appeared on the market.

[0003] For example, the Chinese patent number CN202021510527.6 discloses a vehicle-mounted waterproof smart camera. The front side of the camera housing is provided with a camera protective cover, a rain shield is glued to the middle, and a cluster tube is glued to the rear. The front side of the camera housing is fixedly connected to the camera lens, a heating resistor is provided below the camera lens, and a temperature sensor is provided to the right side of the camera lens. The heating resistor and temperature sensor are connected to the microcontroller and battery via wires. The camera housing of this solution has a conical structure that is wide in front and narrow in the back. On rainy days, rainwater on the camera housing can move inward along the cone direction and drip downward under the blocking effect of the rain shield, preventing rainwater from remaining at the camera lens position and affecting monitoring. At the same time, the glued cluster tube can prevent some rainwater from entering the camera through the wire connection port and causing damage to the camera.

[0004] The aforementioned patent provides a waterproof vehicle-mounted smart camera with a camera protective cover. However, this camera protective cover primarily utilizes a rain shield to provide water resistance and prevent rainwater from entering the camera through the wiring. This protective structure does not meet the IP68 rating. Currently, common rearview camera protective covers on the market that achieve IP68 protection all use sealant for sealing. The use of sealant results in a long assembly cycle and makes subsequent maintenance and disassembly difficult. If sealant is not used for sealing, the rearview camera's waterproof and dustproof performance will not meet the required standards. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a waterproof and dustproof rearview camera protective cover, aiming to improve the problem that the existing rearview camera protective covers that can achieve IP68 level protection all use sealants for sealing, but the sealants will lead to a long assembly cycle and make subsequent maintenance and repair and disassembly difficult.

[0006] The utility model is achieved in this way:

[0007] A waterproof and dustproof rearview camera protective cover, comprising an outer cover, a sealing pad provided under the outer cover, a mounting base plate provided under the sealing pad, the mounting base plate and the sealing pad being fixed to the bottom of the outer cover by mounting bolts, the sealing pad sealing the mounting base plate and the outer cover; fixing bolts are symmetrically provided on both sides of the outer cover, the bottom of the fixing bolts passes through the outer cover shell, the sealing pad and the mounting base plate and is connected to the vehicle body; a motor is provided on the top of the outer cover shell, a brush rod is provided at the output end of the motor, and the brush rod is used to wipe the camera.

[0008] Furthermore, the upper surface of the outer cover is provided with a plurality of connecting grooves, and the front of the outer cover is provided with a camera hole; the opening edge of the bottom surface of the outer cover is provided with a connecting edge, and the connecting edge is provided with a plurality of mounting holes for cooperating with mounting bolts to fix the mounting base plate, and fixing holes are symmetrically provided on both sides of the connecting edge, and the fixing bolts pass through the fixing holes.

[0009] Furthermore, the sealing pad and the mounting base plate are aligned with the mounting holes and the fixing holes and are also provided with mounting holes and fixing holes, and the sealing pad and the mounting base plate are both provided with waterproof joint holes in the middle, and connection holes are symmetrically provided on both sides of the waterproof joint hole for further fixing the waterproof joint; a circle of boss strips is provided on the upper surface of the sealing pad near the edge.

[0010] Furthermore, a transmission shaft is provided at the output end of the motor, a connecting foot is provided at the bottom of the motor, and a bolt hole is provided on the connecting foot. The bolt hole is used to fix the position of the motor by bolts.

[0011] Furthermore, a brush cotton is provided on the side of the brush rod facing the outer cover, and a sleeve joint is provided on the top of the brush rod, a sleeve hole is provided on the end of the sleeve joint facing the transmission shaft, the sleeve hole is sleeved on the transmission shaft, and a positioning bolt is provided on the top of the sleeve joint, and the positioning bolt is pressed tightly on the sleeve joint.
