Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts, specifically a real-time road condition monitoring device for intelligent connected vehicles. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous advancement of the automotive industry, intelligent connected vehicles have become a major trend in automotive development. Intelligent connected vehicles need to effectively interact with the external environment, and real-time road condition monitoring devices are a key component in achieving this interaction. These devices provide vehicles with accurate road condition information, helping them make more informed driving decisions.
[0003] Traditional monitoring devices cannot adjust their height, resulting in a limited shooting range, blind spots, and an inability to flexibly adapt to different driving scenarios. They also cannot provide targeted road condition information, increasing the risk of accidents. Utility Model Content
[0004] The present invention aims to provide a real-time road condition monitoring device for intelligent connected vehicles to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] The device includes a vertical plate, a stepper motor connected to the vertical plate, a screw connected to the output end of the stepper motor, a slider rotatably connected to the vertical plate, a groove on the vertical plate, a sliding connection between the slider and the groove, a connecting shell connected to the slider, a base detachably connected to the connecting shell, a threaded hole on both the connecting shell and the base, a bolt threaded into the inner wall of the threaded hole, a mounting block rotatably connected to the base, a rotating shaft rotatably connected to the mounting block, a camera connected to the rotating shaft, and an angle adjustment device connected to the mounting block for adjusting the camera angle.
[0007] Preferably, the angle adjustment device includes a first motor, which is connected to the mounting block. The output end of the first motor is connected to a first pulley, and the rotating shaft is connected to a second pulley. The first pulley and the second pulley are connected together to a transmission belt.
[0008] Preferably, the base is connected to a second motor, the output end of the second motor is connected to a first bevel gear, the mounting block is connected to a second bevel gear, and the first bevel gear and the second bevel gear mesh with each other.
[0009] Preferably, the first motor and the second motor are respectively connected to a first encoder and a second encoder.
[0010] Preferably, the upright plate is connected to a mounting plate, and the mounting plate has a mounting groove.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this technical solution compared to existing technologies are as follows:
[0012] (1) This solution uses a stepper motor, screw, and slider structure to allow the camera to rise or fall, adapting to different road conditions and vehicle heights. This ensures a suitable field of view on all vehicles, guaranteeing normal data collection and effectively preventing data loss due to limited field of view. Raising the camera expands its monitoring range, while lowering it allows for more precise monitoring of close-range road details, reducing the risk of accidents. The detachable housing and base design allows maintenance personnel to quickly remove the camera from the main unit when it malfunctions. Compared to non-detachable cameras, this design improves lens cleanliness, reduces data errors caused by lens blur, and thus enhances the accuracy of road condition monitoring.
[0013] (2) By setting up an angle adjustment device, a full-range observation of the vehicle's surroundings can be achieved. Whether it is a parallel parking space or a perpendicular parking space, the parking lines, surrounding vehicles, and obstacles can be seen better, making it easier for the driver to park accurately and reducing scratches. During driving, appropriate angle adjustment can expand the horizontal and vertical field of view of the camera, reduce blind spots, and improve driving safety. Furthermore, it allows each driver to adjust the camera angle according to their own situation to obtain the most comfortable visual effect that best suits their driving habits.
[0014] (3) By setting a second motor, a first bevel gear and a second bevel gear, the mounting block is rotated to adjust the horizontal angle of the camera, which allows the camera to flexibly change its viewing angle in the horizontal direction, greatly expanding its field of view and effectively compensating for the blind spots that may exist in fixed-angle cameras. This provides more comprehensive road condition information for intelligent connected vehicles and significantly improves driving safety.
[0015] (4) By setting the first encoder and the second encoder, the rotation information of the motor can be accurately recorded, ensuring that the camera accurately reaches the required angle, thereby achieving precise target positioning and monitoring, making more reasonable driving decisions, and improving the safety and reliability of intelligent driving.
[0016] (5) By setting up mounting plates and mounting slots, a clear positioning benchmark is provided for the installation of the device on automobiles, which greatly improves the installation efficiency and eliminates the need to spend a lot of time on repeated measurements and adjustments.

[0020] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:
[0021] like Figure 1-2The illustrated intelligent connected vehicle real-time road condition monitoring device includes a vertical plate 2. A stepper motor 1 is connected to the top outer wall of the vertical plate 2. A screw 23 is connected to the output end of the stepper motor 1. The screw 23 is rotatably connected to the vertical plate 2. A slider 3 is movably connected to the outer wall of the screw 23. The vertical plate 2 has a sliding groove 15, and the slider 3 is slidably connected to the sliding groove 15. By starting the stepper motor 1, the screw 23 is driven, which in turn drives the slider 3 to raise or lower the camera 14, thereby changing the height position of the camera 14. The end of the slider 3 away from the vertical plate 2... A connecting shell 4 is connected to the bottom, and a base 7 is detachably connected to the bottom of the connecting shell 4. Both the connecting shell 4 and the base 7 have a threaded hole 6. A bolt 5 is threaded into the inner wall of the threaded hole 6. The connecting shell 4 and the base 7 can be connected or disconnected by tightening the bolt 5. A mounting block 8 is rotatably connected to the base 7, and a rotating shaft 13 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the mounting block 8. A camera 14 is connected to the rotating shaft 13, and the camera 14 is rotatably connected to the mounting block 8. An angle adjustment device is connected to the mounting block 8 to adjust the angle of the camera 14. The angle adjustment device includes a first motor 10, which is connected to the inner wall of the mounting block 8. A first pulley 9 is connected to the output end of the first motor 10, and a second pulley 12 is connected to the rotating shaft 13. The first pulley 9 and the second pulley 12 are connected to a transmission belt 11. When the first motor 10 is started, its output end drives the first pulley 9 to rotate. Through the transmission belt 11, the second pulley 12 drives the rotating shaft 13 to rotate, thereby causing the camera to rotate vertically. A second motor 21 is connected to the inner wall of the base 7. The output end of the second motor 21 is connected to a first bevel gear 20. A second bevel gear 19 is connected to the top outer wall of the mounting block 8. The first bevel gear 20 and the second bevel gear 19 mesh with each other. By starting the second motor 21, the output end of the second motor 21 drives the first bevel gear 20 to rotate. Due to the meshing of the first bevel gear 20 and the second bevel gear 19, the second bevel gear 19 rotates accordingly, thereby causing the mounting block 8 to drive the camera 14 to rotate horizontally. The first motor 10 and the second motor 21 are respectively connected to a first encoder 18 and a second encoder 22. The first encoder 18 and the second encoder 22 can accurately obtain the number of pulses for one revolution of the first motor 10 and the second motor 21. By counting the pulses, the number of revolutions of the motor can be accurately determined, and then the rotation angle of the camera 14 can be calculated, enabling the camera 14 to accurately align with the target position, improving the effectiveness and accuracy of monitoring. Mounting plates 16 are connected to both ends of the bottom of the upright plate 2. Each mounting plate 16 has a mounting groove 17, through which the device can be installed on a car.
[0022] The specific implementation process is as follows:
[0023] In use, the device can be installed in the desired position through the mounting slot 17 on the mounting plate 16. Then, by starting the stepper motor 1, it drives the screw 23 to rotate, which in turn causes the slider 3 to move the camera 14 up or down, thereby adjusting the height of the camera 14. When the angle needs to be adjusted, by starting the first motor 10, the output of the first motor 10 drives the first pulley 9 to rotate, which in turn causes the second pulley 12 to drive the rotating shaft 13 to rotate, thereby making the camera rotate vertically. By starting the second motor 21, the output of the second motor 21 drives the first bevel gear 20 to rotate, which in turn causes the second bevel gear 19 to rotate, thereby making the mounting block 8 move the camera 14 to rotate horizontally. The first encoder 18 and the second encoder 22 calculate the number of pulses of the first motor 10 and the second motor 21 rotating one revolution, and then calculate the vertical or horizontal rotation angle of the camera 14, so that the camera 14 can be accurately aligned with the target position, improving the effectiveness and accuracy of monitoring.
