[0002] With economic development, cars have become an essential means of transportation for every household. To meet users' needs for travel safety and driving comfort, an integrated intelligent driving system is installed on the windshield of the vehicle to facilitate the realization of basic intelligent driving functions.

[0003] For example, the patent document with publication number CN221381097U, publication date July 19, 2024, entitled "A Front-View Integrated Controller Structure with Adjustable Camera Angle," discloses a front-view integrated controller structure, including a front housing, a rear housing, an outer cover, a camera module, and a circuit board assembly. The front housing and the rear housing form a cavity, and the circuit board assembly and the camera module are built into the cavity. The circuit board assembly is provided with multiple computing chips. The front housing is provided with an opening for adjusting the angle of the camera module. Double-sided adhesive is pasted on the outer surface of the front housing, and the double-sided adhesive can be directly pasted onto the windshield of a vehicle.

[0004] However, current intelligent driving integrated machines suffer from unreasonable installation locations, resulting in limited field of vision. The integrated machine is easily obstructed by the windshield, and the blind spot area is relatively large, especially for pickup trucks with high chassis, where this problem is particularly prominent. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to realize an installation structure that can effectively improve the image acquisition effect of the intelligent driving integrated machine and reduce the blind spot area.

[0007] The distance between the intersection of the camera's field of view and the windshield viewfinder and the wiper trail is ≥20mm.

[0008] The vehicles mentioned are gasoline-powered pickup trucks, hybrid pickup trucks, or electric pickup trucks.

[0009] The main body of the intelligent driving integrated machine includes a bracket and a camera fixed on the bracket. The bracket is used to fix it to the windshield or the roof of the vehicle.

[0010] The bracket houses the control components of the intelligent driving integrated machine, and the outer side of the bracket is provided with a heat-conducting pad that is in close contact with the control components.

[0011] The control components include a PCBA control board, a DC-DC converter, a PM IC, and a memory connected to the PCBA control board, and the communication terminal of the PCBA control board is connected to a camera.

[0012] A radar is fixed next to the camera to collect information about obstacles in front, and speed and acceleration sensors are integrated into the body of the intelligent driving all-in-one machine.

[0013] This invention can reduce the obstruction of the windshield by the integrated camera, maximize the capture of the forward view, reduce the obstruction of the view by the hood and other vehicle components, reduce the blind spot area, improve the performance of driving functions, enhance the user experience, and effectively prevent stray light from entering the lens, thereby improving image quality.

[0023] The following description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, details the specific implementation of this utility model, including the shape and structure of each component, the relative positions and connections between the parts, the function and working principle of each part, the manufacturing process, and the operation and use methods. This will help those skilled in the art to have a more complete, accurate, and in-depth understanding of the inventive concept and technical solution of this utility model.

[0024] The forward-looking integrated unit is used in automobiles. During the driving process, the vehicle works in conjunction with sensors (radar and surround-view camera 1, etc.) and the camera 1 in this forward-looking integrated unit. The radar and surround-view camera 1 are used to obtain the distance to other vehicles in front, behind, left, and right, as well as the position of pedestrians and obstacles; the speed / accelerometer is used to obtain the vehicle's status information; the camera 1 in this forward-looking integrated unit is used to acquire images and videos in front of the vehicle, process the images, and then transmit the collected information to the control board. Through the SOC's decision-making and planning, commands are output to the vehicle, thereby realizing intelligent driving.

[0025] The installation structure of the intelligent driving integrated unit involves mounting the unit itself in the middle of the upper inner edge of the car's windshield, specifically within the driver's cabin, behind the front and rear windshields. Camera 1 of the integrated unit captures image information outwards. The optical axis of camera 1 is parallel to the unloaded ground line and aligned with the vehicle's center plane. The height of camera 1 from the unloaded ground line is between 1200mm and 1800mm, and the vertical distance from the camera 1's vertical field of view to the farthest point on the front bumper is between 1300mm and 2300mm, maximizing the camera's field of view. Camera 1 is installed within the wiper's coverage area, with the intersection of its field of view and the windshield's viewfinder line at least 20mm from the wiper's trajectory to prevent rain and snow from obstructing the camera's view.

[0026] The above-described mounting structure is particularly suitable for high-chassis pickup trucks, including but not limited to fuel-powered pickup trucks, hybrid pickup trucks, or electric pickup trucks. The main body of the intelligent driving integrated unit includes a bracket 2 and a camera 1 fixed on the bracket 2. The bracket 2 has an L-shaped longitudinal section and is fastened upwards to the windshield. The gap between the bracket 2 and the windshield is used to place the camera 1. A sunshade 3 is provided on the edge of the bracket 2 to contact the windshield. The sunshade 3 is a ring of baffles that extends outwards. The edge is made of elastic rubber material. There is no gap between the sunshade 3 and the windshield. By matching the shape of the rubber material with the shape of the area of ​​the windshield it contacts, a sealed space is formed between the windshield and the bracket 2 through the tight contact of the elastic rubber material. The gapless setting between the sunshade 3 and the windshield can effectively prevent stray light from entering the lens and improve image quality.

[0027] To improve the overall integration performance of the device, the control components of the intelligent driving all-in-one machine can be fixed inside the bracket 2. The outer side of the bracket 2 is provided with a heat-conducting pad that is in close contact with the control components, so that the heat of the control components can be dissipated into the vehicle, thereby improving the temperature control capability of the entire control components and avoiding overheating due to high-intensity calculations, which would affect the calculation effect.

[0028] like Figure 6 As shown, the control components include a PCBA control board, a DC-DC converter, a PM IC, and a memory connected to the PCBA control board. In addition, a radar for collecting information about obstacles ahead can be fixed next to the camera 1. Speed ​​and acceleration sensors are integrated into the body of the intelligent driving all-in-one machine, enabling the intelligent driving all-in-one machine to perform more computing functions.

[0029] Camera 1 is an assembly that can be configured in multiple ways as needed, such as a front image camera 1 and a surround view camera 1. The communication terminal of the PCBA control board connects to camera 1 and radar. Speed ​​and acceleration sensors transmit the collected vehicle status signals to the PCBA control board. The front image camera 1 collects frontal image information and, through internal image processing algorithms, performs noise reduction and enhancement operations to output clear image information such as road signs, traffic signals, and obstacles to the PCBA control board. The radar and surround view camera 1 transmit information such as fire distance, pedestrians, and obstacles to the PCBA control board. The PCBA control board makes decisions and plans using its internally stored control methods and interacts with the vehicle's infotainment system. Communication with the vehicle's infotainment system can be achieved via a ribbon cable. The input terminal of the DC-DC converter is connected to the vehicle's battery, and the output terminal is connected to the power supply terminal of the PCBA control board to provide compliant power. The memory is connected to the data port of the PCBA control board to store the running program and can also store relevant collected data information as needed.

[0030] The aforementioned structure reduces the obstruction of the windshield by the integrated camera module, maximizing the forward view and minimizing obstruction from the hood and other components, thus reducing blind spots. Furthermore, it effectively prevents stray light from entering the lens, improving image quality, making it particularly suitable for pickup trucks with higher ground clearance.

[0031] The present invention has been described above by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the specific implementation of the present invention is not limited to the above-described manner. Any non-substantial improvements made using the inventive concept and technical solution of the present invention, or the direct application of the inventive concept and technical solution of the present invention to other occasions without modification, are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
