Figure 6-3 This is the third overall rendering of the present invention. Figure 6-4 This is the fourth overall rendering of the present invention. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of this utility model. Figure 2 This is the right view of the present invention. Figure 3 for Figure 2 The AA cross-sectional view is shown in the figure above: The endoscope and ceiling mounting structure proposed in this utility model includes an endoscope 1, a support 2, a clip 3, and an endoscope housing 4. The endoscope 1 is fixed inside the endoscope housing 4. In the specific implementation of this utility model, the endoscope 1 is fixed to the endoscope housing 4 by means of a clip or double-sided adhesive. In the specific implementation, other fixing methods, such as snap-fit, can also be used as required.
[0029] Figure 4-1 This is a front view of the support in this utility model. Figure 4-2 This is a bottom view of the support in this utility model. Figure 4-3 This is a left view of the support in this utility model. As shown in the figure above: the support 2 in this utility model includes: a support body 201, a support through hole 202, and a support ball head 203; there are two support through holes 202, and the support ball head 203 and the two support through holes 202 are respectively located at both ends of the support through hole 202.
[0030] The endoscope housing 4 and the support 2 are connected by a ball joint 203 at the end of the support 2, which rotates within the endoscope housing 4, and then secured with screws 5. Figure 2 As shown.
[0031] The clip 3 is installed in the support through hole 202 by interference fit. The engagement between the clip 3 and the support through hole 202 is the claw 302 (see...). Figure 5 ). Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the clip in this utility model. Figure 5 As shown, the clip 3 includes: a clip body 301, clip claws 302, and clip ribs 303; multiple clip claws 302 are evenly distributed around the clip body 301; the number of clip ribs 303 and clip claws 302 is equal, located on the clip claws 302, with one end of the clip rib 303 located on the clip claw 302 and the other end flush with the clip body 301; the clip 3 is installed in the support through hole 202 by an interference fit, and the connection between the clip 3 and the support through hole 202 is the clip claw 302. The clip 3 in this invention is generally selected as a clip made of PA material.
[0032] The retaining rib 303 of this utility model is relatively narrow. When the lens assembly is hit, it is easy to break and fall off, causing the entire assembly to fall off the roof. The lens of the endoscope 1 will not fall off separately, thus protecting the passengers.
[0033] The clip 3 has a screw hole 304 in the center, and the clip 3 is fixed to the roof of the car by passing a screw through the screw hole 304.
[0034] In the specific implementation process, the number of retaining ribs 303 and retaining claws 302 is generally adjusted according to the specific vehicle model and other requirements.
[0035] In this utility model, the support body 201, the support through hole 202, and the support ball head 203 are integrally formed; the clamp body 301, the clamp claw 302, and the clamp rib 303 are integrally formed.
[0036] The assembly process of this utility model is as follows: First, fix the endoscope 1 to the endoscope housing 4 by means of a bayonet or double-sided tape to form a lens assembly. Then, install the support ball head 203 on the support 2 onto the endoscope housing 4 of the lens assembly in a rotatable manner, and then fix it with screws 5 to form an endoscope assembly. Then, install the clip 3 into the support through hole 202 by means of interference fit. Finally, fix the clip 3 to the roof of the car by passing a screw through the screw hole 304 in the center of the clip 3.
[0037] This invention uses screws to install the endoscope onto the car roof. Through a clip structure made of PA material, the rigid connection secured by the screws is transformed into a flexible connection, allowing the endoscope to detach completely upon impact, thus protecting passengers from injury. This technology is simple to assemble and allows for complete detachment to protect passengers in the event of an impact.
