[0047] An embodiment of the present application provides a laser radar mounting structure and a vehicle. The laser radar mounting structure is arranged at the front end of the vehicle body. It should be noted that the vehicle in the present application may refer to a large car, a small car, a special-purpose vehicle, etc. For example, according to the vehicle model, the vehicle in the present application may be a sedan model, an off-road model, a multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) model or other models.

[0048] LiDAR, as an indispensable component for intelligent driving assistance, is widely used in smart cars. Most LiDARs are placed on the front end of the roof and the front bumper. However, there are basically problems such as difficulty in controlling the installation accuracy of LiDAR, poor clearance between LiDAR and surrounding parts, LiDAR driving jitter, and substandard modal performance. It will take a lot of time to repeatedly adjust and solve the above problems in the later stage.

[0049] To avoid these issues, the present invention provides a LiDAR mounting structure and vehicle. This structure effectively ensures the LiDAR's mounting modal strength, precise installation, and a clear appearance with the front bumper. This structure is universally applicable to a variety of vehicle types, including sedans and SUVs, demonstrating its high versatility.

[0050] The following specific embodiments describe in detail the technical solution of the present application and how the technical solution of the present application solves the above-mentioned technical problems. The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments. The embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0051] Among them, the first direction in the following embodiments of the present application is Figure 1 The X direction in the second direction is Figure 1 The Z direction in the middle, the third direction is Figure 1 Center Y direction.

[0052] In some embodiments of this application, see Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the laser radar mounting structure includes a connecting bracket 300 and at least one adjustment component 400.

[0053] The laser radar installation structure of this embodiment is applied to a vehicle, and is mainly connected to the front bumper assembly 100 and the front anti-collision beam 200 of the vehicle.

[0054] Specifically, the front bumper assembly 100 and the front anti-collision beam 200 are spaced apart along a first direction, i.e., spaced apart in the X direction. Both the front bumper assembly 100 and the front anti-collision beam 200 are fixed to and supported by the vehicle body. A connecting bracket 300 is positioned between the front bumper assembly 100 and the front anti-collision beam 200. The connecting bracket 300 is slidably connected to the front bumper assembly 100, allowing it to move relative to the front bumper assembly 100 in the X direction. The connecting bracket 300 is also used to mount the laser radar 10. The adjustment component 400 is used to connect the connecting bracket 300 and the front anti-collision beam 200, and adjust the distance between the connecting bracket 300 and the front anti-collision beam 200 in the first direction. The front bumper assembly 100 and the front anti-collision beam 200 are both fixed on the vehicle body. The adjustment component 400 enables the connecting bracket 300 to move relative to the front anti-collision beam 200 along the X direction, thereby changing the distance between the connecting bracket 300 and the front anti-collision beam 200. The laser radar 10 is fixed on the connecting bracket 300, so the distance between the laser radar 10 and the front bumper assembly 100 in the X direction can be adjusted.

[0055] Among them, the laser radar 10 can be fixed to the connecting bracket 300 by fasteners such as bolts, or by other means. As long as the laser radar 10 does not shake relative to the connecting bracket 300 during use, this embodiment does not limit it.

[0056] The connecting bracket 300 is installed on the front anti-collision beam 200 through the adjustment component 400, and is supported by the front anti-collision beam 200, so that the laser radar 10 can be effectively supported and will not shake, and the position of the connecting bracket 300 in the first direction can be changed by the adjustment component 400. The front anti-collision beam 200 and the front insurance assembly are fixed to the vehicle body. The position of the connecting bracket 300 in the first direction is changed, and the gap between the laser radar 10 and the front bumper assembly can be changed, thereby fully ensuring the installation modal strength of the laser radar 10, the installation accuracy of the laser radar 10, and the appearance gap matching the laser radar 10 and the front bumper assembly 100.

[0057] In some embodiments of this application, see Figure 6 As shown, the laser radar mounting structure includes at least two connecting members 500 , and the front bumper assembly 100 is connected to the connecting bracket 300 via the connecting members 500 .

[0058] Of the at least two connecting members 500, at least one is used to limit the position of the connecting bracket 300 in the Y direction, and at least one is used to limit the position of the connecting bracket 300 in the Z direction. At the same time, the connecting member 500 can also adapt to changes in the distance between the connecting bracket 300 and the front bumper assembly, so that the connecting bracket 300 can only move along the X direction and cannot be displaced in the Y and Z directions.

[0059] Exemplarily, the connecting member 500 can be a combination of a connecting groove and a connecting column, the connecting column is inserted into the connecting groove, the groove body of the connecting groove is set on the connecting bracket 300 or the front bumper assembly 100, and the connecting column is set on the other one, and the connecting column and the connecting groove can be set to a square structure that cooperates with each other, so as to prevent the connecting bracket 300 from moving in the Y direction and the Z direction relative to the front bumper assembly during the sliding of the connecting column along the connecting groove.

[0060] For example, the connecting member can be a V-shaped clip, which can undergo elastic deformation. When the adjustment component 400 changes the position between the connecting bracket 300 and the front anti-collision beam 200, the V-shaped clip is deformed to limit the movement direction of the connecting bracket 300 so that it can only move along the X direction. It can also limit the movement distance between the connecting bracket 300 and the front bumper assembly 100 to prevent the distance between the two from exceeding the limit.

[0061] It is understandable that the number of connecting members 500 can be determined according to actual conditions, such as setting one at each end of the connecting bracket 300 for limiting, or setting four, etc. This embodiment does not limit it here.

[0062] Exemplarily, the V-shaped clip includes a connecting portion and two oppositely arranged elastic arms. The elastic arms can be arranged in an arc shape, and the two elastic arms are bent in a direction away from each other. A first clamping portion is provided at one end of the elastic arm, and the two ends of the connecting portion are correspondingly connected to the ends of the two elastic arms away from the first clamping portion to form a V-shaped structure.

[0063] A second clamping portion 130 is provided on the front bumper assembly 100, and at least two second positioning holes 320 are provided on the connecting bracket 300. Two elastic arms are inserted into the second positioning holes 320 around the opposite sides of the second clamping portion 130, and the connecting portion contacts the second clamping portion 130, that is, the second clamping portion 130 is inserted into the V-shaped clamp from the open end of the V-shaped clamp, and the elastic arm is inserted into the second positioning hole 320, and the first clamping portion is clamped with the second positioning hole 320.

[0064] Specifically, the second positioning hole 320 can be a through hole, and the elastic arm can be deformed. When the elastic arm is inserted into the second positioning hole 320, the two elastic arms are squeezed to deform in a direction close to each other, so that the first clamping part is smoothly inserted into the second positioning hole 320. After the elastic arm is released, the elastic arm restores its deformation, so that the first clamping part is stuck in the second positioning hole 320 away from one end of the connecting part, thereby connecting the front bumper assembly 100 and the connecting bracket 300, so that the connecting bracket 300 can move relative to the connecting bracket 300 along the X direction, changing the gap between the laser radar 10 and the front bumper assembly 100, and at the same time, the range of movement of the connecting bracket 300 relative to the front bumper assembly 100 can also be limited.

[0065] In addition, the second clamping portion 130 can be a separately arranged strip column, or it can be a grille in the original grille frame on the front bumper assembly, as long as it can be inserted into the V-shaped clip from the open end of the V-shaped clip to limit the movement direction and distance of the connecting bracket 300 relative to the front bumper assembly 100.

[0066] In some embodiments of the present application, at least one locating pin 120 is provided on one of the front bumper assembly 100 and the connecting bracket 300, and at least one first locating hole 310 is provided on the other. The locating pin 120 is inserted into the first locating hole 310, and the locating pin 120 extends along the X direction.

[0067] Exemplarily, the positioning pin 120 is provided on the front bumper assembly 100 , and the first positioning hole 310 is provided on the connecting bracket 300 .

[0068] During assembly, the locating pin 120 can be first inserted into the first locating hole 310, and then the front bumper assembly 100 and the connecting bracket 300 can be connected through the V-shaped clip, so that a better positioning effect can be achieved through the locating pin 120. At the same time, during use, the locating pin 120 extends along the X direction, and its shape is adapted to the first locating hole 310, which can assist in limiting the moving direction of the connecting bracket 300.

[0069] In some embodiments of the present application, the first positioning hole 310 is set as a strip hole, and the elastic arm is made of a spring and has a certain width, the width of which can be adapted to the length of the first positioning hole 310, so as to assist in limiting the moving direction of the connecting bracket 300 through the shape of the elastic arm and the first positioning hole 310.

[0070] Illustratively, of the at least two second positioning holes 320 , at least one extends along the second direction, and at least one extends along the third direction. The first direction (X direction), the second direction (Z direction), and the third direction (Y direction) are all perpendicular to each other.

[0071] A V-shaped clip is correspondingly provided in each second positioning hole 320. After the V-shaped clip is inserted into the second positioning hole 320, the position of the connecting bracket 300 relative to the front bumper assembly 100 can be adjusted from the Y direction and the Z direction, so that the connecting bracket 300 can only move along the X direction, and will not move in the Y direction and the Z direction, thereby improving the limiting effect of the position of the laser radar 10.

[0072] In some embodiments of this application, see Figure 7 、 Figure 8 、 Figure 9 、 Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the connecting bracket 300 includes a first mounting portion 360 and a second mounting portion 370 arranged in an upper and lower relationship.

[0073] Among them, at least one second positioning hole 320 is respectively provided on the first mounting part 360 and the second mounting part 370, and the second positioning hole 320 provided on the first mounting part 360 extends along the second direction, and the second positioning hole 320 provided on the second mounting part 370 extends along the third direction, so as to jointly realize the limitation of the connecting bracket 300 in the Y direction and the Z direction through the second positioning holes 320 provided on the first mounting part 360 and the second mounting part 370.

[0074] The front anti-collision beam 200 and the first mounting portion 360 are connected via an adjustment assembly.

[0075] Exemplarily, the adjustment assembly 400 includes a first adjustment member 410 and a second adjustment member 420, the second adjustment member 420 is arranged on the front anti-collision beam 200, the second adjustment member 420 is connected to the connecting bracket 300, the first adjustment member 410 and the first adjustment member 410 are connected to each other, and the second adjustment member 420 and the first adjustment member 410 can change the connection position in the X direction to change the position of the connecting bracket 300 in the X direction, that is, the second adjustment member 420 and the first adjustment member 410 at least partially overlap and are connected in the X direction, and the position of the connecting bracket 300 in the X direction can be changed by changing the length of the overlap between the two in the X direction.

[0076] Exemplarily, the first adjusting member is a connecting plate, which extends along the X direction and has a plurality of connecting holes arranged along the X direction. The second adjusting member includes at least one connecting buckle, which is used to connect to a connecting hole. The position of the connecting bracket 300 can be changed by changing the connecting hole connected to the connecting buckle.

[0077] Exemplarily, the second adjusting member 420 is an adjusting screw, and the first adjusting member 410 is an adjusting nut. The adjusting screw and the adjusting nut are threadedly connected to adjust the distance between the connecting bracket 300 and the front anti-collision beam 200 by adjusting the depth of the adjusting screw screwed into the adjusting nut.

[0078] The laser radar 10 is mounted on the second mounting portion 370, for example, as shown in FIG. Figure 8 and Figure 10 As shown, four positioning holes 340 are set on the second mounting part 370, and four positioning holes 340 are also set correspondingly on the laser radar 10. The laser radar 10 can be fixed on the second mounting part 370 by inserting bolts into the mounting holes 330 on the second mounting part 370 and the laser radar 10, and locking them with nuts.

[0079] In addition, at least one pin hole 350 can be set on the second mounting part 370, and a pin shaft corresponding to the pin hole 350 can be set on the laser radar 10. When installing the laser radar 10, the pin shaft is inserted into the pin hole 350, and the pin shaft and the pin hole 350 can be used for positioning first, so that the laser radar 10 can be fixed to the second mounting part 370 by bolts later.

[0080] In some embodiments of the present application, the first mounting portion 360 may be configured as a triangular plate to improve strength, and the second mounting portion 370 may be configured as a square plate with multiple grooves provided thereon to avoid affecting the installation of the laser radar 10. Furthermore, in order to improve the strength of the connecting bracket 300 and to effectively support the laser radar 10, the connecting bracket 300 may be a sheet metal bracket made of high-strength steel. Of course, the connecting bracket 300 may also be made of other materials as long as they are strong enough to support the laser radar 10.

[0081] In addition, reinforcing ribs may be provided on the surface of the connecting bracket 300, such as convex ribs protruding outward from the surface of the triangular plate or square plate in the middle, or flange structures may be provided on the edges of the triangular plate and square plate to further enhance the strength of the connecting bracket 300. This embodiment does not limit this.

[0082] In some embodiments of the present application, three mounting holes 330 are provided on the connecting bracket 300 , and the line connecting the centers of the three mounting holes 330 forms a triangle. Three second adjusting members 420 are provided and connected to the mounting holes 330 accordingly.

[0083] Specifically, a third mounting hole 330 can be provided on the first mounting portion 360. The center line connecting the three mounting holes 330 forms a triangle, which effectively improves support strength after connection to the front anti-collision beam 200. Because the connection location of the front anti-collision beam 200 is subject to greater forces, a circle of reinforcing ribs can be provided on the first mounting portion 360 around the three mounting holes 330, forming an overall V-shaped structure. The reinforcing ribs enhance the strength of the connecting bracket 300.

[0084] In some embodiments of this application, see Figure 5 As shown, the front bumper assembly 100 is provided with adjustment holes 110 corresponding one-to-one to the adjustment components 400 .

[0085] Specifically, during installation or use, if it is necessary to adjust the distance between the laser radar 10 and the front bumper assembly 100, the depth of each adjusting screw screwed into the corresponding adjusting nut can be adjusted through the adjustment hole 110, thereby achieving gap adjustment without disassembling the front bumper assembly 100, effectively improving the convenience of use.

[0086] In order to better understand the usage of the laser radar installation structure provided in the embodiment of the present application, the specific installation method is described in more detail below:

[0087] First, the LiDAR 10 is mounted on the connecting bracket 300 using four bolts. The connecting bracket 300 can be made of high-strength steel to increase its strength. Then, the connecting bracket 300 is fastened to the adjusting nut on the front bumper beam 200 assembly using three adjusting screws, thereby securing the connecting bracket 300 to the front bumper beam 200. The front bumper assembly 100 is then attached to the connecting bracket 300 from the front of the vehicle using the V-shaped clip 500. Finally, the position of the connecting bracket 300 in the X direction is adjusted by turning the adjusting screws through the three adjustment holes 110 provided on the front bumper assembly 100, thereby ensuring the clearance and uniformity of the gap and face difference between the front bumper assembly 100 and the LiDAR 10.

[0088] At the same time, the connecting bracket 300 is made of high-strength steel material, and its connection method with the front anti-collision beam 200 and the front bumper assembly 100 fully ensures the installation modal strength of the laser radar 10, the installation accuracy of the laser radar 10 and the appearance gap matching the front bumper.
