[0031] In order to make the above objectives, features and advantages of the present application more apparent, specific embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] In addition, if there are these terms "first", "second", these terms are only for the purpose of description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features defined as "first", "second" can be explicitly or implicitly included at least one of the features. In the description of the present application, if there are terms "a plurality of", the meaning of "a plurality of" is at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise specifically limited.

[0034] In the present application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, if there are terms "installation", "connection", "connection", "fixing" and the like, these terms should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be fixedly connected, or it can be detachably connected, or it can be integrated; it can be mechanically connected, or it can be electrically connected; it can be directly connected, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium; it can be the internal communication of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements, unless otherwise expressly limited.

If present, the terms "vertical", "horizontal", "up", "down", "left", "right" and similar expressions used in the present application are only for the purpose of illustration, and do not represent the only implementation.

[0037] Considering that the existing mounting bracket is fixed to the upper edge of the front windshield of the vehicle, the upper part of the mounting bracket is closer to the roof, resulting in a small mounting space between the mounting bracket and the roof, which is not convenient for the sensor or camera to be plugged and assembled. The present application provides a fixing bracket 1, a glass assembly and a vehicle, which not only can be applied to the scene with small mounting space, but also has simple and reliable installation process, which is helpful for application and promotion.

[0038] Firstly refer to the attached Figure 1 The fixing support 1 of the present application is used for mounting an optical device 2, which can be but is not limited to a camera or a sensor of a vehicle or the like. Specifically, in combination with Figure 3 As shown, the optical device 2 has a first clamping post 201 on the axis 2a thereof, and has a second clamping post 202 and a third clamping post 203 respectively on the two sides of the axis 2a.

[0039] In combination with Figure 4 As shown, one embodiment of the present application provides a fixing support 1, which can include a bottom plate 10, a first clamping portion 20, a second clamping portion 30 and a third clamping portion 40, the first clamping portion 20, the second clamping portion 30 and the third clamping portion 40 being arranged on the same side of the bottom plate 10.

[0040] It should be noted that the bottom plate 10 can be but is not limited to being fixed to a windshield or a sheet metal member or the like structure of a vehicle, thereby achieving fixing of the optical device 2 at different positions of the vehicle. Specifically, in some embodiments, the side of the bottom plate 10 away from the first clamping portion 20 can be fixed to the inner side (cabin side) of the windshield of the vehicle in the form of bonding, thereby achieving fixing of the optical device 2 in the cabin. More specifically, the bottom plate 10 can be bonded to the upper edge of the front windshield of the vehicle near the roof, thereby achieving monitoring of the road in front of the vehicle by the optical device 2, and placing the optical device 2 at a higher position near the roof in the cabin, improving the openness of the field of view.

[0041] Continuing to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 The first clamping portion 20 is provided with a clamping hole 20a penetrating through the plate surface of the bottom plate 10, the optical device 2 can pass the first clamping post 201 through the clamping hole 20a in a direction at a first preset angle with the plate surface of the bottom plate 10, and the first clamping post 201 can be adjusted to a second preset angle in the direction Z perpendicular to the plate surface of the bottom plate 10 within the clamping hole 20a, the second preset angle being smaller than the first preset angle, when the first clamping post 201 is at the second preset angle, the second clamping post 202 and the third clamping post 203 are respectively aligned with the second clamping portion 30 and the third clamping portion 40 and can be clamped with each other.

[0042] It should be noted that the optical device 2 is at a first preset angle with the plate surface of the bottom plate 10, which can be understood as that the axis 2a of the optical device 2 is at a first preset angle with the plate surface of the bottom plate 10. Preferably, the second clamping portion 30 and the third clamping portion 40 are respectively arranged on the two sides of the first clamping portion 20.

[0043] The fixing support 1 is provided with the clamping hole 20a penetrating through the bottom plate 10 in parallel to the plate surface of the bottom plate 10, so that the optical equipment 2 can be first arranged in the direction of the first preset angle with the plate surface of the bottom plate 10, and then the first clamping column 201 is adjusted in the direction Z perpendicular to the plate surface of the bottom plate 10 to the second preset angle, so that the second clamping column 202 and the third clamping column 203 are respectively aligned with the second clamping part 30 and the third clamping part 40 and can be clamped with each other. The whole installation process is completed on one side of the plate surface of the bottom plate 10, so that the problem of interference between the optical equipment 2 and other structures except the fixing support 1 during installation can be avoided, and the installation convenience of the fixing support 1 to the optical equipment 2 is improved.

[0044] Specifically, when the bottom plate 10 of the fixing support 1 is fixed to the upper edge of the front windshield of the vehicle, the extension direction of the central axis 2a of the optical equipment 2 can be arranged in parallel to the length direction of the vehicle body, and at this time, the first clamping column 201 is arranged in the clamping hole 20a on the side away from the roof of the vehicle, and the angle of the optical equipment 2 is adjusted in the direction Z perpendicular to the plate surface of the bottom plate 10, so that the second clamping column 202 and the third clamping column 203 are respectively aligned with the second clamping part 30 and the third clamping part 40 and can be clamped with each other. In this way, the problem that the installation space between the upper edge of the front windshield of the vehicle and the roof is insufficient, resulting in interference between the optical equipment 2 and the roof and inconvenience in installation can be avoided.

[0045] In addition, the clamping hole 20a is arranged to be able to allow the optical equipment 2 to arrange the first clamping column 201 in the clamping hole 20a in the direction of the first preset angle with the plate surface of the bottom plate 10. In this way, the problem of interference between the optical equipment 2 and the second clamping part 30 and the third clamping part 40 can be avoided.

[0046] Notably, when the optical equipment 2 is installed, the first clamping column 201 can be positioned and pushed into the clamping hole 20a through the clamping hole 20a, and at this time, the first clamping column 201 can be located in a relatively deep position in the clamping hole 20a, and then the first clamping column 201 can be pulled out a small distance in the clamping hole 20a in the opposite direction, and the first clamping column 201 is adjusted to the second preset angle relative to the plate surface of the bottom plate 10, so that the second clamping column 202 and the third clamping column 203 are respectively aligned with the second clamping part 30 and the third clamping part 40 and can be clamped with each other. The operation steps are simple and fast, which is helpful to improve the operation convenience.

[0047] Understandably, the bottom plate 10 of the fixed support 1 can be fixed at any position on the vehicle while the orientation of the optical device 2 can be adjusted at the fixed position so that the lens 204 of the optical device 2 is directed to a preset direction, ensuring good installation effect. Specifically, when the bottom plate 10 of the fixed support 1 is fixed at the upper edge of the front windshield of the vehicle, the lens 204 of the optical device 2 is directed to the front of the front windshield to obtain good road conditions. Understandably, at this time, the central axis 2a of the optical device 2 is arranged in parallel with the length direction of the vehicle body.

[0048] Optionally, in combination with Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the first clamping part 20 includes a first limiting piece 21 and a first elastic piece 22. The first limiting piece 21 is connected with the bottom plate 10, and the first limiting piece 21 and the bottom plate 10 form a clamping hole 20a. The first elastic piece 22 is arranged at the clamping hole 20a, and the first elastic piece 22 can be elastically extruded in the direction Z perpendicular to the plate surface of the bottom plate 10. The first elastic piece 22 is used to press the first clamping column 201 against the first limiting piece 21, so as to achieve clamping and fixing of the first clamping column 201.

[0049] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first elastic piece 22 is arranged at the clamping hole 20a, so that when the first clamping column 201 is arranged in the clamping hole 20a, the first clamping column 201 can have a moving allowance in the direction Z perpendicular to the plate surface of the bottom plate 10. In turn, the first clamping column 201 can press the first elastic piece 22 to the side of the bottom plate 10 at a direction of a first preset angle relative to the plate surface of the bottom plate 10, so that the optical device 2 can be arranged in the clamping hole 20a at a direction of the first preset angle relative to the plate surface of the bottom plate 10, thereby avoiding the interference problem of the optical device 2 with the second clamping part 30 and the third clamping part 40. Therefore, the arrangement of the aforementioned first elastic piece 22 can not only realize the clamping and fixing of the first clamping column 201, but also control the angle of the first clamping column 201 arranged in the clamping hole 20a, thereby improving the installation convenience.

[0050] Understandably, when the optical device 2 is arranged in the clamping hole 20a at a direction of the first preset angle relative to the plate surface of the bottom plate 10, the first clamping column 201 of the optical device 2 is also arranged at the first preset angle relative to the plate surface of the bottom plate 10. Therefore, when the first clamping column 201 is adjusted in angle in the clamping hole 20a, the first clamping column 201 will be limited by the first limiting piece 21, so that the aforementioned first preset angle is limited.

[0051] In order to improve the comfort of the installation angle of the optical device 2, preferably, in some embodiments, the clamping hole 20a has a preset height in the direction Z perpendicular to the plate surface of the bottom plate 10, which can be configured to be such that when the first clamping post 201 is adjusted in the direction perpendicular to the bottom plate 10 to abut against the first limiting piece 21 in the clamping hole 20a, the angle between the optical device 2 and the plate surface of the bottom plate 10 is in the range of 10°-30°, so that a good angle range between the optical device 2 and the bottom plate 10 is defined for the threading operation of the first clamping post 201, which helps to improve the installation convenience.

[0052] For example, when the first clamping post 201 is adjusted in the direction Z perpendicular to the plate surface of the bottom plate 10 to abut against the first limiting piece 21 in the clamping hole 20a, the angle between the optical device 2 and the plate surface of the bottom plate 10 can be 10°, 20° or 30°.

[0053] Understandably, the aforementioned included angle can be understood as the maximum adjustment included angle between the optical device 2 and the bottom plate 10, and the first preset angle is the actual operation angle, which only needs to be smaller than the aforementioned maximum adjustment included angle. Therefore, the aforementioned maximum adjustment included angle is set as large as possible, which helps to increase the angle adjustment space of the optical device 2 as much as possible under the premise of ensuring the clamping and fixing effect of the first elastic piece 22 on the first clamping post 201.

[0054] More preferably, when the first clamping post 201 is adjusted in the direction Z perpendicular to the plate surface of the bottom plate 10 to abut against the first limiting piece 21 in the clamping hole 20a, the angle between the optical device 2 and the plate surface of the bottom plate 10 is 30°, which can increase the angle adjustment range between the optical device 2 and the bottom plate 10 as much as possible, and helps to improve the operation convenience.

[0055] Optionally, referring to Figure 5 , the second clamping part 30 and the third clamping part 40 can each include a second limiting piece 50 and a second elastic piece 60, the second limiting piece 50 is provided with a slot 50a in the direction Z perpendicular to the plate surface of the bottom plate 10, the second elastic piece 60 is arranged in the slot 50a and can be elastically extruded in the direction Z perpendicular to the plate surface of the bottom plate 10, and the second elastic piece 60 is used to press the second clamping post 202 or the third clamping post 203 against the second limiting piece 50, so that when the second clamping post 202 is clamped in the aforementioned slot 50a or when the third clamping post 203 is clamped in the aforementioned slot 50a, the second elastic piece 60 can be elastically extruded to press and fix the second clamping post 202 or the third clamping post 203 against the wall surface of the second limiting piece 50.

[0056] Preferably, the slotted holes 50a of the second clamping portion 30 and the slotted holes 50a of the third clamping portion 40 are respectively arranged on both sides of the first clamping portion 20.

[0057] It is worth noting that by arranging the second elastic member 60 in the slotted hole 50a, the elastic effect of the second elastic member 60 helps to reduce the pressing force required for the second clamping column 202 or the third clamping column 203 during the clamping pressing process, thereby improving the installation convenience of the optical equipment 2. In addition, when the optical equipment 2 is disassembled, the elastic effect of the second elastic member 60 can also improve the disassembly convenience of the optical equipment 2.

[0058] Optionally, continuing to refer to Figure 5 , the second limiting member 50 can include a bottom wall 51 and a side wall 52, the bottom wall 51 is used to limit the second clamping column 202 or the third clamping column 203 in the direction Z perpendicular to the plate surface of the bottom plate 10, and the side wall 52 is used to limit the second clamping column 202 or the third clamping column 203 in the direction Y parallel to the plate surface of the bottom plate 10. When the second clamping column 202 or the third clamping column 203 abuts against the bottom wall 51 and the side wall 52, the second elastic member 60 can be extruded, and then the elastic effect is realized to press and fix the second clamping column 202 or the third clamping column 203.

[0059] Optionally, in combination with Figure 1 and Figure 6 , the second elastic member 60 is in a strip shape, and the second elastic member 60 is arranged in a direction parallel to the central axis 2a of the optical equipment 2 when the optical equipment 2 is installed, the second elastic member 60 has a first end 61 and a second end 62, the first end 61 is connected with the bottom plate 10, and the second end 62 has an arc-shaped protrusion 622 arranged in the slotted hole 50a.

[0060] It is worth noting that according to the above embodiment of the present application, the second clamping column 202 or the third clamping column 203 needs to be clamped into the slotted hole 50a in the direction Z perpendicular to the plate surface of the bottom plate 10 first, and then pushed into the second limiting member 50 in the extension direction Y of the second elastic member 60, so that the second clamping column 202 or the third clamping column 203 abuts against the bottom wall 51 and the side wall 52 of the second limiting member 50, and then the second clamping column 202 or the third clamping column 203 is clamped and fixed under the limiting action of the side wall 52, the bottom wall 51 of the second limiting member 50 and the second elastic member 60.

[0061] Specifically, in combination with Figure 3As shown, the optical device 2 can be but not limited to a camera or a sensor, and the lens 204 of the optical device 2 is located on the central axis 2a. In this embodiment, the second elastic member 60 is arranged in a direction parallel to the central axis 2a of the optical device 2 when it is installed, which helps to keep the extending direction Y of the second elastic member 60 parallel to the installation direction of the optical device 2, and then when the optical device 2 is clamped into the second limiting member 50 along the extending direction of the central axis 2a, the second clamping post 202 or the third clamping post 203 of the optical device 2 can press against the arched protrusion 622 along the extending direction Y of the second elastic member 60, and abut against the bottom wall 51 and the side wall 52 of the second limiting member 50, so that the arched protrusion 622 uses its elastic action to press and fix the second clamping post 202 or the third clamping post 203.

[0062] In addition, by arranging the second end 62 of the second elastic member 60 as the arched protrusion 622, it helps to reduce the frictional resistance between the second clamping post 202 or the third clamping post 203 and the arched protrusion 622, and improve the smoothness of the clamping operation of the second clamping post 202 or the third clamping post 203 in the slot 50a.

[0063] Referring back to Figure 4 Optionally, the bottom plate 10 can also be provided with a first limiting portion 70 and a second limiting portion 80 at intervals, the first limiting portion 70 and the second limiting portion 80 are used to abut and limit the optical device 2, and the straight line direction of the first limiting portion 70 pointing to the second limiting portion 80 is parallel to the straight line direction of the second clamping portion 30 pointing to the third clamping portion 40, which can improve the limiting effect of the optical device 2 and reduce the vibration of the optical device 2 after assembly.

[0064] Referring back to Figure 3 and Figure 9 On some existing optical devices 2, such as camera or sensor devices, a light shield 90 is generally provided to improve the recording or sensing effect. For example Figure 3 As shown, the light shield 90 is provided with a first clamping hook 91, a second clamping hook 92 and a lens mounting portion 93, the first clamping hook 91 is used to clamp and fix the first mounting position 2b on one side of the optical device 2, the second clamping hook 92 is used to be buckled on the second mounting position 2c on the other side of the optical device 2, and the lens mounting portion 93 is used to adapt to abut against the lens 204 of the optical device 2.

[0065] Considering the vibration generated during the driving of the vehicle, the first clamping hook 91 and the second clamping hook 92 of the light shield 90 of the aforementioned optical device 2 are easy to be loosened or material from the optical device 2, which leads to the failure of the light shield 90 or the blocking of the lens 204. Therefore, in combination with Figure 10As shown, the fixing support 1 is integrated with the light shield 90 in some embodiments of the present application, and the light shield 90 is integrally formed with the bottom plate 10. Alternatively, the light shield 90 is detachably connected with the bottom plate 10.

[0066] Specifically, this embodiment helps to cancel the first and second clamping hooks 91 and 92 of the light shield 90 for clamping the optical device 2 by designing the light shield 90 to be integrally formed with the bottom plate 10 or mounted on the bottom plate 10, thereby avoiding the problems of loosening or material fracture of the first and second clamping hooks 91 and 92 from the optical device 2 due to vibration during driving of the vehicle, and improving the working reliability of the optical device 2.

[0067] Alternatively, in some embodiments, the light shield 90 and the bottom plate 10 can be detachably connected by locking, which is more convenient for maintenance, repair or replacement of the light shield 90 than the integrally formed manner of the light shield 90 and the bottom plate 10.

[0068] According to another aspect of the present application, the present application also provides a glass assembly comprising the fixing support 1 described above, and the glass assembly further comprises a windshield, and the fixing support 1 is fixed to the windshield.

[0069] Alternatively, the windshield can be configured as a front windshield of the vehicle, the fixing support 1 is fixed to the upper edge of the front windshield, and the second and third clamping portions 30 and 40 are arranged side by side along the width direction of the vehicle body, so that the central axis 2a of the optical device 2 is parallel to the length direction of the vehicle body after installation, thereby enabling the lens 204 of the optical device 2 to be directed to the front windshield, improving the field of view of the optical device 2 for monitoring the road, and ensuring the installation effect.

[0070] According to another aspect of the present application, the present application also provides a vehicle comprising the glass assembly described above.

[0071] The glass assembly and the vehicle provided by the present application only need to pass the first clamping column 201 through the clamping hole 20a on the side of the first clamping portion 20 away from the roof, and adjust the angle of the optical device 2 in the direction Z perpendicular to the plate surface of the bottom plate 10 when the fixing support 1 is fixed to the upper edge of the front windshield, so as to realize the alignment and clamping of the second and third clamping columns 202 and 203 with the second and third clamping portions 30 and 40, respectively, thereby avoiding the problem of insufficient installation space between the upper edge of the front windshield and the roof of the vehicle, which causes the optical device 2 to interfere with the roof and is inconvenient to install.

[0072] Any combination of the technical features in the above-described embodiments can be made, and for the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations are described, however, it is to be understood that the application embraces all such possible combinations.

[0073] The above-described embodiments only express several implementation manners of the application, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be understood as a limitation on the patent scope of the application. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary skilled persons in the art, some modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the application, and these all belong to the protection scope of the application. Therefore, the patent protection scope of the application should be subject to the appended claims.
