[0009] Preferably, the lens of the monitoring module is arranged toward the window, and the depth inside the steel structure shell is greater than 3 times the length of the monitoring module itself.

[0010] It ensures that the monitoring module has enough space to move inside the steel structure shell. At the same time, the lens is set towards the window, which can directly monitor the vehicle distance to the outside world, improving the accuracy and flexibility of monitoring.

[0011] Preferably, rollers are installed at the four corners of the bottom of the loading seat, and the rollers are rollingly connected to the inner bottom surface of the steel structure shell.

[0019] Preferably, a worm gear is fixedly connected to the middle of the bidirectional lead screw, and the end of the ball screw close to the window is set as a worm, and the worm is meshed with the worm gear.

[0020] The meshing connection between the worm and the worm wheel realizes the linkage between the ball screw and the bidirectional lead screw, simplifies the structure of the device, and improves the integration and automation level of the device.

[0021] Preferably, through grooves are provided on both sides of the steel structure shell, and the through grooves match the steel structure baffles. The surfaces of the steel structure shell and the steel structure baffles are both provided with an anti-rust coating.

[0022] The design of the through groove enables the steel structure baffle to be smoothly moved to the outside of the steel structure shell, thereby leaving a certain gap between the two steel structure baffles; the setting of the anti-rust coating extends the service life of the device and reduces maintenance costs.

[0023] In the above technical solution, the technical effects and advantages provided by the utility model are:

[0024] The device can smoothly adjust the position of the monitoring module through the transmission of the drive motor and ball screw, so that it can be closer to or farther away from the window as needed, so as to detect the distance information of the vehicle in front in real time. When a potential collision risk is detected, the monitoring module can be quickly withdrawn to a safe position to effectively prevent it from being damaged in a collision.

A control chip is integrated inside the monitoring module 1, and the drive motor 6 is electrically connected to the control chip.

[0034] In one aspect of this embodiment, the lens of the monitoring module 1 is set toward the window 5, the depth inside the steel structure shell 2 is greater than 3 times the length of the monitoring module 1 itself, rollers 7 are installed at the four corners of the bottom of the loading seat 3, and the rollers 7 are in rolling connection with the inner bottom surface of the steel structure shell 2. A transparent plastic window 8 is installed on the side of the window 5 close to the outside of the steel structure shell 2, and two steel structure baffles 9 are provided on the side of the window 5 close to the inside of the steel structure shell 2. Slide grooves are provided on the top and bottom surfaces of the window 5, and sliders are fixedly connected to the top and bottom of the steel structure baffle 9. The slider is slidably connected to the slide groove, and a bidirectional screw 10 is rotatably connected inside the steel structure shell 2. There is a connecting block 11 at each end of the bidirectional screw 10. The two connecting blocks 11 are respectively fixedly connected to the two steel structure baffles 9. A worm gear 12 is fixedly connected to the middle of the bidirectional screw 10. The end of the ball screw 4 close to the window 5 is set as a worm 13, and the worm 13 is meshed with the worm gear 12. Through grooves are opened on both sides of the steel structure shell 2, and the through grooves are matched with the steel structure baffle 9. The surfaces of the steel structure shell 2 and the steel structure baffle 9 are provided with an anti-rust coating.

[0035] Working principle of this utility model:

[0036] Refer to the instruction manual Figure 1-5When using the utility model, first fix the device on the bumper of the vehicle. When the vehicle is started and ready to drive, the control chip in the monitoring module 1 is started through the control system inside the vehicle or manual operation. After receiving the start signal, the control chip will send an instruction to the drive motor 6 to start working. After receiving the instruction, the drive motor 6 starts to rotate clockwise, driving the ball screw 4 to rotate. The rotation of the ball screw 4 is transmitted to the loading seat 3 through a threaded connection. Since the roller 7 is installed at the bottom of the loading seat 3, the roller 7 rolls on the bottom surface of the steel structure shell 2, so that the loading seat 3 can move forward smoothly along the axis direction of the ball screw 4. As the loading seat 3 moves, the monitoring module 1 also approaches the window 5. When the ball screw 4 rotates, the worm gear set at one end thereof The rod 13 will also rotate synchronously, and the meshing connection between the worm 13 and the worm wheel 12 causes the worm wheel 12 to start rotating, thereby driving the bidirectional lead screw 10 to rotate. The rotation of the bidirectional lead screw 10 is transmitted to the two connecting blocks 11 through the threaded connection, so that the two connecting blocks 11 respectively drive the two steel structure baffles 9 to move to both sides. The sliders at the top and bottom of the steel structure baffles 9 slide in the slide groove to ensure that the steel structure baffles 9 can move smoothly. As the steel structure baffles 9 move, one end of them passes through the through groove and moves to the outside of the steel structure shell 2. The gap between the two steel structure baffles 9 facilitates the monitoring module 1 to detect the real-time vehicle distance outside through the transparent plastic window 8. The monitoring module 1 detects the vehicle distance information in front in real time through the lens and the internal integrated sensor, and sends the data to the control chip for processing;

[0037] When the control chip detects that the vehicle in front is too close or there is a potential risk of collision, it will immediately send an audible and visual alarm signal to the driver. If the driver fails to take avoidance measures in time, resulting in an inevitable collision, the control chip will control the drive motor 6 to rotate counterclockwise. The counterclockwise rotation of the drive motor 6 drives the ball screw 4 to rotate in the opposite direction, so that the loading seat 3 drives the monitoring module 1 to move backward and withdraw to a deep position inside the steel structure shell 2, which can effectively protect the monitoring module 1 from direct impact and damage. At the same time, as the ball screw 4 rotates in the opposite direction, the worm 13 will also rotate in the opposite direction synchronously. The meshing connection between the worm 13 and the worm wheel 12 causes the worm wheel 12 to start rotating in the opposite direction, thereby driving the bidirectional lead screw 10 to rotate in the opposite direction. The reverse rotation of the bidirectional lead screw 10 is transmitted to the two connecting blocks 11 through a threaded connection, so that the two steel structure baffles 9 approach each other and complete the closing of the window 5. The closed steel structure baffle 9 can play a further protective role.
