Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of car photography, and in particular to a drive-through vehicle exterior photography device. Background Technology

[0002] In general, the vast majority of used car dealers are in stark contrast to new car manufacturers with complete facilities. They do not have efficient and precise vehicle exterior inspection lines like those used car production lines.

[0003] Used cars, having undergone varying lengths of use and driving in diverse and complex real-world environments, inevitably suffer a wider range of exterior damage. This damage includes minor scratches and collisions from daily driving, small dents from flying stones at high speeds, paint fading, aging, and cracking due to prolonged exposure to natural environments, and deformation of various parts of the car body caused by stress. Although some automated automotive exterior inspection equipment exists for used car dealers, these devices still have many limitations in practical application.

[0004] Utility model patent publication number CN221669988U discloses a car exterior photography device, relating to the technical field of car photography. It includes a camera stand, cameras, and a photographic sensor. The camera stand is fixed above a car lane, and its projected area on the ground is larger than the projected area of ​​the car on the ground. Multiple cameras are fixed to the camera stand for photographing cars from multiple angles. The photographic sensor is fixed to one side of the car lane; when a car passes, the sensor is triggered, causing the camera to take a picture. By using multiple cameras, the device can simultaneously capture images from multiple angles, requiring only a single shot to capture all angles. This allows for multi-angle photography as the car passes without stopping, improving efficiency. However, because the cameras are all positioned above the car, details below the car cannot be accurately observed when it passes, resulting in certain limitations of the device. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide a drive-through vehicle exterior photography device to solve the problem that car exterior photography devices only have shooting limitations.

[0006] The technical solution of the through-type vehicle exterior photography device provided in this application is as follows:

[0007] A drive-through vehicle exterior photography device, comprising:

[0008] Mounting bracket, through which a car passes. The mounting bracket includes two side plates and a top plate. The side plates are connected to both sides of the top plate to form a car passage. The side plates have extensions along the direction of the car passage.

[0009] Industrial cameras, in multiple quantities, are all mounted on the inside of the mounting bracket;

[0010] The sensor, installed inside the extension, is used to detect when a vehicle enters or exits the mounting bracket.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, a car passage is formed using side panels and a top panel for vehicles to pass through. Industrial cameras are installed on the inner sides of the side panels and top panel. Because the side panels connect the ground and the top panel, the camera can capture not only the upper view of the vehicle but also the lower view, thus providing more detailed images. An extension of the car passage is provided on the side panels, which can be equipped with sensors to detect vehicle entry and exit, enabling the camera to automatically take pictures.

[0012] Optionally, it also includes an illumination surface light source, which is mounted on the inside of the mounting bracket.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solutions, the surface light source can effectively improve the shooting quality of industrial cameras under different lighting conditions, ensuring that vehicle exterior details can still be clearly captured in low-light environments, thereby improving the overall reliability and imaging effect of the device.

[0014] Optionally, the industrial camera is mounted on the side panel in three layers along the vertical direction.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the industrial camera is installed on the side plate in three layers along the vertical direction, which can realize multi-angle shooting, fully cover different parts of the vehicle, improve the clarity and integrity of the photos, and thus improve the accuracy and reliability of vehicle appearance inspection.

[0016] Optionally, extensions are provided on both sides of the vehicle passageway's exit and entrance.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution and adding extensions at both the entrance and exit, vehicles can be sensed when entering and exiting the vehicle passage, thereby improving the applicability of the vehicle passage.

[0018] Optionally, the sensors include an entry sensor and an exit sensor, with the entry sensor located on an extension near the entrance of the vehicle passage and the exit sensor located on an extension near the exit of the vehicle passage.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the vehicle entry sensor is located on the extension near the entrance of the vehicle lane, which can be triggered in time when a vehicle enters to start the shooting system, improving shooting efficiency. The vehicle exit sensor is located on the extension near the exit of the vehicle lane, which can confirm the completion of shooting when the vehicle leaves, avoiding omissions or duplicate shooting, and ensuring the continuity and integrity of the shooting process.

[0020] Optionally, an extension rod is provided on the top plate, and an extension camera is mounted on the extension rod.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the extension rod set on the top plate can extend the position of the camera further, thereby covering a wider shooting range and having a better shooting angle, thus improving the shooting effect.

[0022] Optionally, the surface of the car passageway is covered with a floor cover, and an upward-looking camera is installed inside the floor cover.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, setting up a ground cover and installing a camera looking up inside the ground cover, it is possible to effectively capture images of the bottom of the vehicle, improve the shooting range and comprehensiveness of the vehicle exterior photography device, and ensure that more complete vehicle exterior information is obtained.

[0024] Optionally, two ground covers are provided, one on the exit surface and the other on the entrance surface of the vehicle passage.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, ground covers and upward-looking cameras are installed on both the front and rear sides of the ground, enabling the car to be photographed from more angles within the shooting device, thereby improving the shooting effect and the accuracy of information acquisition.

[0026] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0027] 1. A car passage is formed by using side panels and a top panel, allowing vehicles to pass through. Industrial cameras are installed on the inner sides of the side panels and top panel. Because the side panels connect the ground and the top panel, the camera can capture not only the top view of the vehicle but also the bottom view, resulting in more detailed images. An extension of the car passage is provided on the side panels, which can be equipped with sensors to detect vehicle entry and exit, enabling the camera to automatically take pictures.

[0028] 2. The extension rod on the top plate allows the camera to be positioned further away, thus covering a wider shooting range and providing a better shooting angle, thereby improving the shooting effect;

[0029] 3. Installing a ground cover and mounting a camera inside the ground cover can effectively capture images of the vehicle's underside, improving the shooting range and comprehensiveness of the vehicle exterior photography device, and ensuring that more complete vehicle exterior information is obtained.

[0035] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] A drive-through vehicle exterior photography device, reference Figure 1 and 2 The system includes a mounting frame 1, multiple industrial cameras 2, sensors 3, and illumination surface light sources 4. The mounting frame 1 comprises two side plates 11 and a top plate 12. The side plates 11 are connected to both sides of the top plate 12, forming an arch-shaped vehicle passage 13 for vehicles to pass through for photographic inspection. Multiple industrial cameras 2 and multiple illumination surface light sources 4 are located on the inner side of the mounting frame 1, i.e., the sides of the side plates 11 and top plate 12 facing the vehicle passage 13. This allows for multi-angle photographic inspection of vehicles passing through the vehicle passage 13, and the illumination surface light sources 4 ensure sufficient light during the photographing process, improving the effectiveness of the inspection.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 The industrial cameras 2 are arranged in three layers from bottom to top within the side panel 11. By installing the industrial cameras 2 at different heights in the vertical direction, and on the top panel 12, the industrial cameras 2 are evenly distributed on the bottom surface of the top panel 12, enabling the car to be photographed and inspected from different angles, thus improving the completeness of the photographing and inspection. In addition, illumination surface light sources 4 are also neatly arranged on the bottom panel and the top panel 12, making the illumination effect more balanced.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 and 2The side panels 11 extend outward on both sides to form extensions 14. The extensions 14 extend the side panels 11 at both the entrance and exit of the vehicle passage 13. By installing sensors 3 inside the extensions 14, including an entry sensor 31 and an exit sensor 32, the entry sensor 31 is installed on the side of the extension 14 near the entrance of the vehicle passage 13, while the exit sensor 32 is installed on the side of the extension 14 near the entrance of the vehicle passage 13. This allows the vehicle to be monitored and sensed when it enters or exits the mounting bracket 1, thus automatically activating the industrial camera 2 and the illumination surface light source 4 to perform related operations after the vehicle enters.

[0039] Reference Figure 2 and 3 The top plate 12 is also connected to the two sides of the outward extension rod 5. The end of the extension rod 5 is also equipped with an extension camera 51. Through the extension rod 5, the extension camera 51 can take pictures of the car from a distance and from a better angle, thereby improving the shooting effect.

[0040] Reference Figure 1 and 4 Two ground covers 6 are installed on the ground of the car passage 13, one near the entrance and the other near the exit of the car passage 13. A bottom-view camera 61 is installed inside the ground cover 6 to take pictures of the underside of the car from the ground. By installing a ground cover 6 at the entrance and the other at the exit, the bottom-view camera 61 can obtain a complete view of the underside of the car from both the front and rear sides.

[0041] The implementation principle of this application embodiment is as follows: when a car enters the camera device, it first passes through the extension 14 and is sensed by the vehicle entry sensor 31. After the vehicle enters, the cameras at each position are activated, and the illumination surface light source 4 is activated. After the car is completely photographed, it drives out of the mounting bracket 1. After the vehicle exit sensor 32 senses that the car has left, the camera light bar is turned off to avoid wasting electricity.

[0042] The embodiments described in this specific implementation are preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Identical components are represented by the same reference numerals. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape, and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
