[0031] Reference is made below Figures 1-5 The camera assembly 100 according to the first aspect of the utility model is described.

[0032] It is worth mentioning that the application field of the camera assembly 100 according to the utility model embodiment is not limited, which can be applied in the field of vehicles, such as cars, trains, ships or spacecraft, to ensure the normal work of sensitive electronic devices such as GNSS antennas by reducing electromagnetic interference, and to improve the stability and safety of intelligent driving systems, or applied in security monitoring systems, the electromagnetic shielding function of the camera assembly 100 can prevent interference to other electronic devices, and ensure accurate transmission of monitoring data, or applied in the field of industrial automation, the camera assembly 100 can be applied to robot vision system, to reduce the influence of electromagnetic interference on sensors and control systems, and to improve production efficiency and product quality, in the field of aerospace, the electromagnetic compatibility design of the camera assembly 100 is crucial to ensure the safe flight and accurate navigation of aircrafts and production equipment. For simplicity of description, the structure of the camera assembly 100 is described in the application by taking the camera assembly 100 applied to the vehicle 1000 as an example, and the scenario of the camera assembly 100 applied to other fields is not described.

[0033] As Figure 1 shown, the camera assembly 100 comprises a base 10, a camera 20 and a shield 30. The base 10 comprises a bottom plate 11 and a mounting plate 12, the bottom plate 11 is provided with a placement area 111, and the mounting plate 12 is connected to the placement area 111. The camera 20 is located on the placement area 111, and the rear end of the camera 20 is connected to the mounting plate 12. The shield 30 covers the camera 20, the two ends of the shield 30 are connected to the bottom plate 11, an opening 101 is defined between the shield 30 and the bottom plate 11, and the front end of the camera 20 is arranged towards the opening 101.

[0034] The base 10 is the basic supporting structure of the camera assembly 100. It comprises a bottom plate 11 and a mounting plate 12.

[0035] The bottom plate 11 is provided with a placement area 111. The camera 20 is located on the placement area 111.

[0036] Optionally, the shape and size of the placement area 111 are adapted to the shape and size of the bottom of the camera 20, so that the camera 20 can be quickly positioned when placed, reducing the difficulty of installation.

[0037] The mounting plate 12 is connected to the placement area 111, and the rear end of the camera 20 is connected to the mounting plate 12. Through such a setting, it can be ensured that the camera 20 will not shake after installation, thereby improving the stability of the camera 20.

[0038] In some embodiments, the placement area 111 is an independent area formed by setting a protrusion or a recess on the bottom plate 11. In this way, the installation area of the camera 20 and the mounting plate 12 can be clearly defined. In some technical solutions, the protrusion type placement area 111 can be cylindrical, rectangular or other regular or irregular shapes. It can be customized according to the shape and size of the camera 20 and the mounting plate 12. The setting of the protrusion not only provides an accurate placement position, but also to some extent reduces the relative movement between the camera 20, the mounting plate 12 and the bottom plate 11, increasing the stability of the installation. In yet another technical solution, the recess type placement area 111 is a groove of a certain depth formed on the bottom plate 11 for accommodating the camera 20 and the mounting plate 12. This construction method can also ensure the accurate placement of the camera 20 and the mounting plate 12, increasing the use reliability.

[0039] However, in yet another embodiment, the placement area 111 is kept in the same plane as the surrounding bottom plate 11. This setting method can simplify the manufacturing process of the bottom plate 11, and is also conducive to the flatness control of the camera 20. In this case, the placement area 111 is not defined by a protrusion or a recess, but by specific markings, positioning holes or other auxiliary devices to ensure accurate placement of the components. This design requires high precision and stability of the components during installation to ensure the normal operation of the entire system.

[0040] Here, the mounting plate 12 can be installed on the placement area 111 by one or a combination of methods such as gluing, screwing, welding, etc.

[0041] In combination Figure 2 , the rear end of the camera 20 is installed in the base 10 through the mounting plate 12.

[0042] The mounting method between the camera 20 and the mounting plate 12 can be gluing, screwing or welding, etc.

[0043] During the installation of the camera 20, there can be various installation sequences.

[0044] The first sequence is to connect the camera 20 with the mounting plate 12 first, ensuring that the camera 20 is stable and does not shake. Then, the mounting plate 12 with the camera 20 already installed is aligned with the placement area 111 of the bottom plate 11, and the mounting plate 12 and the bottom plate 11 are tightly connected together through screw connection, adhesion or welding, etc. In this way, the camera 20 is stably installed on the base 10 through the mounting plate 12.

[0045] The second sequence is to first fix the mounting plate 12 on the placement area 111 of the bottom plate 11 through screwing, welding or adhesion, etc. Then, the camera 20 is aligned with the reserved hole position or mounting structure on the mounting plate 12, and the camera 20 is firmly installed on the mounting plate 12 using screws or other fasteners. In this way, the camera 20 is stably fixed on the base 10, and the entire installation process is completed.

[0046] The choice of these two installation sequences mainly depends on the specific installation environment, the size and weight of the camera 20, etc. In actual operation, the most suitable installation sequence can be flexibly selected according to the specific situation, which is not limited in this application.

[0047] As shown in Figure 1 The shielding cover 30 is shown covering the camera 20, with both ends of the shielding cover 30 connected to the bottom plate 11, and the shielding cover 30 and the bottom plate 11 defining an opening 101, with the front end of the camera 20 facing the opening 101.

[0048] The shielding cover 30 is used to reduce or block electromagnetic interference devices. The shielding cover 30 can effectively concentrate the area generating electromagnetic radiation inside the shielding cover 30, thereby preventing these electromagnetic fields from adversely affecting the surrounding environment or other electronic devices.

[0049] In the application of the camera 20, the shielding cover 30 is configured as a housing that can cover most of the area of the camera 20, but will leave an opening 101 at the front end so that the camera 20 can normally shoot.

[0050] Optionally, the shielding cover 30 is a piece of material with high electrical conductivity. For example, the shielding cover 30 can be a copper piece, an aluminum piece or a stainless steel piece, etc. directly made of metal. Or, the shielding cover 30 can also be a plastic piece coated with a conductive layer, etc. These material pieces all have good electromagnetic shielding performance and can effectively block electromagnetic waves from penetrating the shielding layer.

[0051] Here, the shape and size of the shielding cover 30 can be designed according to the specific application requirements, which can be box-shaped, cage-shaped or other structures to ensure covering the area where the camera 20 is located.

[0052] Firstly, by firmly connecting the two ends of the shielding cover 30 to the bottom plate 11, the loosening or falling off of the shielding cover 30 caused by external environmental factors such as vibration, impact, etc. can be effectively prevented. This stable connection makes the electromagnetic shielding function of the camera assembly 100 more reliable.

[0053] Secondly, the connection of the two ends of the shielding cover 30 also reduces the gap between the shielding cover 30 and the bottom plate 11, so as to reduce or even avoid electromagnetic leakage at both ends of the camera assembly 100, thereby improving the shielding effect.

[0054] In some optional embodiments, at least one of the bottom plate 11 and the mounting plate 12 also has an electromagnetic shielding function. In this way, the rear end and the lower part of the camera 20 also have a certain electromagnetic shielding capability. In turn, the overall electromagnetic shielding capability is enhanced, further reducing the influence of electromagnetic radiation generated by the camera 20 on the surrounding environment. Through the camera assembly 100, the electromagnetic compatibility of the camera 20 in the use environment can be improved, ensuring that it can adapt to more electromagnetic sensitive environments.

[0055] As Figure 2 shown, according to the camera assembly 100 of some embodiments of the present application, the camera 20 has a wire harness 21 at the rear end, and the mounting plate 12 is provided with a relief hole 121, and the wire harness 21 passes through the relief hole 121. It is known that the camera 20 is usually equipped with a wire harness 21 at the rear end for electrical connection. This wire harness 21 usually contains multiple thin wires for transmitting video signals, power or other control signals. In order to allow the wire harness 21 to be smoothly led out of the camera 20 and connected to external devices, the mounting plate 12 is specially provided with a relief hole 121. The size and shape of this relief hole 121 are limited to ensure that the wire harness 21 can pass through easily without obstruction.

[0056] Furthermore, when the camera 20 is working, it will generate a certain amount of heat inside. Therefore, the relief hole 121 not only provides a channel for the wire harness 21, but also promotes air convection between the camera 20 and the surrounding environment, which helps to effectively dissipate heat and keep the working temperature of the camera 20 within a safe range.

[0057] The mounting plate 12 is provided with at least one first mounting hole 122, and the camera assembly 100 further comprises a first fastener 40, which is located at the first mounting hole 122 and connected to the camera 20.

[0058] The first fastener 40 can be a bolt, a screw, a rivet or a buckle, etc.

[0059] In combination Figure 2 and Figure 3The mounting plate 12 is provided with two first mounting holes 122 located at two opposite corners of the mounting plate 12. By arranging the fixing points of the camera 20 at the opposite corners of the mounting plate 12, the pressure caused by the weight of the camera 20 can be effectively dispersed. Meanwhile, the opposite arrangement can better balance the stress and improve the overall mounting stability.

[0060] In some optional embodiments, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 4 The shield 30 is provided with a wire slot 32, and the wire harness 21 passes through the wire slot 32.

[0061] In this way, the installation problem of the wire harness 21 is solved, and the electromagnetic shielding effect of the shield 30 is also maximized. When the wire harness 21 passes through the wire slot 32, it can be closely fitted at the slot wall of the wire slot 32 to reduce the leakage of electromagnetic waves.

[0062] In addition, the installation space in the camera assembly 100 is limited, and the arrangement of the wire slot 32 can effectively utilize the edge space of the shield 30, avoid the waste of space caused by the disordered stacking of the wire harness 21, and thus improve the space utilization and compactness of the camera assembly 100.

[0063] By arranging the wire slot 32 on the shield 30, the wire harness 21 can directly pass through the wire slot 32 and be arranged according to the predetermined path, without the need for additional fixing members such as binding belts and adhesive tapes, which can simplify the installation process and make the arrangement of the wire harness 21 more consistent with the installation logic.

[0064] Meanwhile, placing the wire harness 21 in the wire slot 32 can also help to improve the physical security of the wire harness 21 and prevent displacement and loosening caused by external forces such as pulling and extrusion.

[0065] Using the wire slot 32 to fix the wire harness 21 makes subsequent maintenance and replacement work more convenient. When the wire harness 21 needs to be repaired or replaced, it can be easily pulled out of or reinserted into the wire slot 32 without the need to disassemble a large number of fixing members or damage the original fixing structure. This not only saves time but also reduces maintenance costs.

[0066] Optionally, the rear end of the wire slot 32 has an open end. Here, the open end provides an intuitive and unobstructed entrance for the wire harness 21. During installation, the operator can easily insert the wire harness 21 into the wire slot 32 from the open end without the need for complex operations or tool assistance. This design simplifies the installation steps of the wire harness 21, improves work efficiency, and also reduces the risk of damage or performance degradation of the wire harness 21 caused by improper installation.

[0067] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, according to the camera assembly 100 of some embodiments of the present application, the shielding cover 30 comprises: side plates 31 located on both sides of the camera 20, and the side plates 31 are stacked on the bottom plate 11. The camera assembly 100 further comprises second fasteners 50, and each side plate 31 is connected to the bottom plate 11 by the second fasteners 50.

[0068] In the above technical solution, the side plates 31 provide connection positions for the second fasteners 50, thereby enhancing the structural stability of the shielding cover 30,

[0069] In addition, by arranging the second fasteners 50 on the extended side plates 31 instead of directly penetrating the side or top of the shielding cover 30, the continuity of the shielding layer is maintained, and the electromagnetic interference shielding capability of the shielding cover 30 is ensured, thereby providing a stable operating environment for the components around the camera 20 in an electromagnetic environment.

[0070] In the present application, the shape of the side plates 31 is not limited and can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs. For example, the shape of the side plates 31 can be designed as Figure 4 a rectangle as shown, and in addition, the shape of the side plates 31 can also be diversified, including but not limited to trapezoidal, square and other polygons. The side surfaces of these shaped side plates 31 can all be in contact with the bottom plate 11, thereby being able to more fully utilize the increased area of the side plates 31 to connect with the bottom plate 11.

[0071] Optionally, the side plates 31 are integrally formed on the shielding cover 30. By integrally forming, the connection points of the side plates 31 are reduced, thereby improving the durability and service life of the shielding cover 30.

[0072] In some optional embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 the second fasteners 50 are screws, and the camera assembly 100 further comprises spring nut 60 cooperating with the screws.

[0073] Using screws as the second fasteners 50 to connect the side plates 31 and the extended bottom plate 11 can simplify the connection structure while ensuring the connection effect.

[0074] It is worth noting that the spring nut 60 is a special fastener, which is a piece of elastic material, for example, it can be a stainless steel piece or a spring steel piece. The spring nut 60 has one or more elastic spring structures. These springs can automatically open when the screw is screwed in, tightly fit around the screw hole, thereby providing stable and reliable locking force.

[0075] The elastic structure of this spring nut 60 can absorb vibration energy, effectively preventing the screw from loosening due to vibration during long-term use.

[0076] During installation, only need to screw into the spring nut 60, until the required degree of fastening can be achieved. Because the spring nut 60 has the function of automatic locking, so there is no need for additional locking steps. During maintenance or replacement, only need to use the appropriate tools to screw out, can be easily disassembled, the necessary repair or replacement operation.

[0077] According to the camera assembly 100 of some embodiments of the utility model, refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 And Figure 4 , the shielding cover 30 further comprises a flange 311 extending to the side surface of the bottom plate 11.

[0078] The flange 311 as a part of the shielding cover 30, through its structure extending to the side surface of the bottom plate 11, forms a more close contact with the bottom plate 11. This design helps to ensure that the shielding cover 30 can be accurately and stably positioned in the predetermined position during assembly, reducing the problem of poor shielding effect caused by assembly error. The existence of the flange 311 provides an additional support point for the shielding cover 30, so that it is not easy to shift when subjected to external force, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the camera assembly 100.

[0079] In addition, the flange 311 in the utility model is closely attached to the side surface of the bottom plate 11, forming a continuous shielding barrier, effectively shielding the possible gap. In this way, when the electromagnetic wave encounters the flange 311 during transmission, it will be effectively blocked, thereby reducing the electromagnetic interference of the camera 20 to external components.

[0080] In some embodiments as shown in Figure 2 And Figure 3 , the bottom plate 11 is provided with a protrusion 112 on both sides of the placement area 111, and the two ends of the shielding cover 30 are connected to the protrusions 112 on both sides.

[0081] By setting the protrusions 112 on both sides of the placement area 111 on the bottom plate 11, these protrusions 112 not only play the role of supporting and fixing the shielding cover 30, but also provide a special connection area for the two ends of the shielding cover 30. This design makes the shielding cover 30 can be stably and firmly connected with the bottom plate 11, ensuring its stability and reliability in various working environments. At the same time, the design of the protrusions 112 also facilitates the precise alignment and rapid assembly between the shielding cover 30 and the bottom plate 11, improving the assembly efficiency.

[0082] Since the protrusions 112 are located on both sides of the placement area 111, the placement area 111 between them naturally forms a recess. This recess provides space for the installation of the camera 20 in structure. At the same time, it also makes the installation process more convenient. Since the recess has already reserved a certain appropriate position for the camera 20, the operator can easily place and fix the camera 20 in this position without going through tedious adjustment and calibration, which helps to improve the installation efficiency.

[0083] In some optional embodiments, in combination with Figure 3 and Figure 4 The shield 30 is a one-piece plate, and the shield 30 covers the mounting plate 12, and the mounting plate 12 is provided with protrusions 123 extending rearward on both sides.

[0084] Since the shield 30 is a one-piece plate, there is no joint and connection point between each part, so as to realize seamless connection, which helps to enhance the structural integrity of the shield 30, and also avoids the problem of electromagnetic leakage due to the gap that may exist at the joint.

[0085] Furthermore, since the shield 30 is a one-piece plate design, it can form a more uniform thickness and strength distribution during manufacturing, thereby improving the overall deformation resistance and rigidity, and helping to improve the protection capability of the internal camera 20.

[0086] In addition, the one-piece shield 30 does not need to be spliced and fixed during assembly, which simplifies the assembly process, improves the assembly efficiency, and also reduces the risk of failure due to improper assembly.

[0087] Finally, the one-piece shield 30 can form a continuous electromagnetic shielding layer, effectively blocking the leakage of electromagnetic waves, and thus ensuring the stable operation of the external components.

[0088] The protrusions 123 provided on both sides of the mounting plate 12 can effectively improve the overall structural strength of the mounting plate 12 by increasing the material distribution, so that the mounting plate 12 is more stable. At the same time, these protrusions 123 can also enhance the support force of the shield 30, improve the stability of the shield 30, and ensure that the shielding effect is not affected.

[0089] As Figure 5 shown, the vehicle 1000 according to the second aspect of the present application comprises a vehicle body and a camera assembly 100. The camera assembly 100 is installed on the vehicle body. Among them, the camera assembly 100 is the camera assembly 100 of the first aspect of the present application.

[0090] It is worth noting that the specific type of vehicle 1000 referred to in this application is not limited, for example, the vehicle 1000 can be a fuel car, a gas car or a new energy car, and the new energy car can be a pure electric car, a hybrid car, a fuel cell electric car, a range extender car, a solar electric car, a gas fuel car (such as a hydrogen engine car) or a biofuel car (such as a car using ethanol, biodiesel, etc. as a power source) and the like. Through the vehicle 1000 of the embodiment of the utility model, by using the improved camera assembly 100, the electromagnetic interference generated by the camera 20 is isolated by using the electromagnetic shielding structure, so as to ensure that other electronic components in the vehicle 1000 are not interfered by the camera 20, and the normal working state provides protection for the stability of the overall performance of the vehicle 1000.

[0091] Optionally, the vehicle 1000 further comprises an antenna assembly 200, and the antenna assembly 200 and the camera assembly 100 are both installed in the same installation cavity of the roof of the vehicle body.

[0092] It can be known that the antenna assembly 200 is an important bridge for the vehicle 1000 to communicate with the outside world wirelessly, responsible for receiving external signals from satellites, base stations and the like, and converting them into information that can be recognized by the internal system of the vehicle 1000. At the same time, it can also send data generated inside the vehicle 1000 to the outside, realizing the bidirectional communication between the vehicle 1000 and the outside world.

[0093] The roof position is relatively high and relatively open, which is conducive to the antenna to capture stronger signals and reduce signal attenuation caused by the structure of the vehicle body or obstacles. At the same time, installing the camera assembly 100 on the roof also provides a wider field of view for the camera 20, which helps to improve the monitoring range and accuracy of the camera 20.

[0094] Here, the camera assembly 100 and the antenna assembly 200 are installed together in the same installation cavity of the roof, not only realizing the rational use of the roof space, but also ensuring that the electromagnetic radiation generated by the camera assembly 100 when working will not have a negative impact on the receiving effect of the antenna assembly 200, and the electromagnetic radiation generated by the antenna assembly 200 when working will not have a negative impact on the camera assembly 100. Therefore, the working stability of the camera assembly 100 and the antenna assembly 200 can be ensured.

[0095] Reference is made below to Figure 1 - Figure 4 The camera assembly 100 according to the embodiment of the utility model is described in detail with a specific embodiment. It is worth understanding that the following description is only exemplary and is not a specific limitation on the utility model.

[0096] Reference is made to Figure 1 and Figure 2The camera assembly 100 comprises a base 10, a camera 20, a shield 30, a first fastener 40, a second fastener 50 and a spring nut 60.
