Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of autonomous driving technology, specifically relating to an image acquisition device for mobile motorized equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In today's era of rapid technological advancement, autonomous driving technology is gradually becoming an important direction for the development of transportation. Autonomous driving devices need to accurately perceive their surroundings to ensure safe and efficient operation. As one of the key sensors in autonomous driving devices, the performance and functionality of cameras are crucial.

[0003] Currently, there are several issues with camera devices used in autonomous driving systems on the market. Firstly, some camera devices are complex to install, consuming time and manpower, and potentially affecting the device's appearance. Secondly, existing camera devices have relatively limited adjustment capabilities, making it difficult to flexibly adjust the shooting angle to meet different environmental and operational needs. Furthermore, wind resistance during high-speed operation affects the stability and accuracy of the camera device, but existing devices often do not adequately address wind resistance issues.

[0004] With the continuous advancement of autonomous driving technology, the requirements for camera devices are becoming increasingly stringent. They not only need high-resolution shooting capabilities, but also better performance in terms of ease of installation, flexibility of adjustment, and resistance to wind resistance. Therefore, developing a novel mobile image acquisition device to address the shortcomings of existing technologies is of significant practical importance. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a mobile motorized equipment image acquisition device to solve at least one of the above-mentioned problems, so as to solve the problems of complex installation of camera devices and limited camera adjustment angle in the prior art on autonomous driving equipment, and to achieve an image acquisition device with better performance in terms of installation convenience, adjustment flexibility and wind resistance when installed on mobile motorized equipment.

[0006] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] This utility model provides a mobile motorized equipment image acquisition device. The image acquisition device is mounted on the upper part of the mobile motorized equipment via a fixed plate and includes a fixed plate, a top camera, and side cameras. The top camera is movably connected to the top of the fixed plate, and the side cameras are connected to both sides of the fixed plate via telescopic rods.

[0008] Furthermore, the top camera includes an angle-adjustable upper and lower camera and a left and right adjustment ring. The upper and lower camera is mounted on the top of the fixed plate via the left and right adjustment ring. The angle of the upper and lower camera can be adjusted by adjusting the left and right adjustment ring.

[0009] Furthermore, the top camera also includes a processor protective shell and a positioning box. The processor protective shell, positioning box, left and right adjustment ring, and upper and lower cameras are installed sequentially on the top of the fixing plate from bottom to top. The processor protective shell is electrically connected to the upper and lower cameras and the left and right adjustment ring, controlling the left and right and up and down angle movement of the camera's field of view on the top of the fixing plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the processor protective shell, positioning box, and upper and lower cameras are all cylindrical or rounded cylindrical, which can reduce wind resistance and make them less prone to damage.

[0011] Furthermore, the side camera includes two cameras, one facing forward and one facing backward. The side of the side camera is tapered, wider at the bottom and narrower at the top. This tapered design reduces drag aerodynamically, lowering wind resistance. When the mobile device is in motion, the upward-pointing tip effectively guides airflow, reducing air resistance to the camera and thus improving the device's energy efficiency and driving stability. The tapered design also protects the camera from direct impacts from external objects, reducing the risk of damage. Simultaneously, this design makes the camera more aesthetically pleasing and durable.

[0012] Furthermore, the side camera is rotatably connected to the telescopic rod, allowing it to rotate 180° around the rod as an axis. In specific detection tasks, such as ground scanning or close-range environmental perception, the side camera can be rotated 180° with its tip pointing downwards. This downward-pointing tip allows the camera to be closer to the ground or obstacles, capturing more detailed information. Additionally, this design makes it easier to clamp the mounting plate onto the upper part of the mobile device during installation, keeping the side camera on both sides of the device and ensuring stability and accurate shooting angles. Furthermore, the telescopic rod is located inside the mounting plate. When the telescopic rod is not extended, the side of the side camera is flush against the side of the mounting plate. When the telescopic rod is extended, the side camera is secured to both sides of the mobile device. When the telescopic rod is not extended, the side camera of the image acquisition device is in an unused state, and the upward-pointing tip protects the camera lens from dust and dirt. When the side camera needs to be used, the telescopic rod extends, and the side camera rotates 180° to point downwards. Tiny dust-proof grooves or rings are designed around the camera lens. These components fit tightly against the lens surface, forming an effective barrier to prevent dust and dirt from entering the lens. Furthermore, during vehicle movement, the airflow generated by the vehicle body can be used to blow away dust from the camera lens. This configuration also facilitates the alignment and adjustment of the side camera with the mounting plate and other components, ensuring the camera's stability and accurate shooting angle after installation. Although pointing downwards doesn't directly reduce wind resistance, combined with the optimized camera shape and installation method, it minimizes the impact of wind resistance and external interference on the camera, thereby meeting specific shooting requirements and ensuring the camera's stability and safety during driving.

[0013] Furthermore, when the telescopic rod is not extended, the lower end of the side camera is flush with the fixed plate, and the upper end is a pointed tip that extends beyond the fixed plate; when the telescopic rod is extended, the side camera rotates 180°, with the pointed tip facing down.

[0014] Furthermore, the contact surface between the side cameras and the mounting plate is an anti-slip friction surface, which helps to enhance the friction between the side cameras on both sides and the mobile motorized equipment. The mounting plate is fixed to the upper part of the mobile motorized equipment by the pulling force of the side cameras on both sides and the telescopic rod.

[0015] Furthermore, the front and rear sides of the fixed plate are equipped with wind deflectors, which also help reduce wind resistance.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0017] 1. The side camera is fixed on the telescopic pole and can rotate. When in use, it can be rotated 180° so that its tip points vertically to the ground. The side camera has two cameras, front and rear. The top camera can be adjusted in angle and rotated in the horizontal direction, which can flexibly adjust the shooting angle. The top camera and the side camera can work together to meet different shooting needs.

[0018] 2. The telescopic pole is in a retracted state when not in use, which saves space and prevents damage to the equipment when not in use. When using and installing, the telescopic pole can be pulled out to attach the two-way camera to both sides of the car, making installation convenient.

[0019] 3. The mounting plate is equipped with wind deflectors at the front and rear, and the top camera has a cylindrical and rounded corner design, while the side cameras have a beveled design. All of these features help reduce wind resistance during vehicle operation, thereby improving vehicle stability and fuel economy. Attached Figure Description

[0030] Unless otherwise specified, the functional components or structures in the following embodiments or examples are conventional components or structures used in the art to achieve the corresponding functions.

[0031] Example 1

[0032] like Figures 1-2 As shown, this utility model discloses a mobile motorized equipment image acquisition device, including a fixed plate 1, a top camera 2, a side camera 3, and a telescopic rod 4;

[0033] The image acquisition device is mounted on the upper part of the mobile motorized equipment via a fixed plate 1. The top camera 2 is movably connected to the top of the fixed plate 1, and the side camera 3 is connected to both sides of the fixed plate 1 via a telescopic rod 4.

[0034] The front and rear sides of the fixed plate are provided with windward plates 101;

[0035] like Figure 3 As shown, the top camera 2 includes an adjustable up and down camera 204 and a left and right adjustment ring 202, as well as a processor protective shell 201 and a positioning box 203. The processor protective shell 201, the positioning box 203, the left and right adjustment ring 202 and the up and down camera 204 are installed on the top of the fixed plate 1 from bottom to top.

[0036] The upper and lower cameras are adjustable in angle. They are mounted on left and right adjustment rings, allowing for angle adjustment of the camera's range. The processor protective shell is electrically connected to the upper and lower cameras and the left and right adjustment rings, controlling the left-right and up-down angle movement of the camera on the top of the mounting plate.

[0037] like Figure 4 As shown, the processor protective shell 201, the positioning box 203, and the upper and lower cameras 204 are all cylindrical or rounded cylindrical, which can reduce wind resistance and are not easily damaged.

[0038] The side camera 3 includes two cameras, one facing forward and one facing backward. The side of the side camera 3 is a cone shape that is wider at the bottom and narrower at the top. This cone shape can reduce wind resistance. The different shapes of the upper and lower ends of the side camera make it easy to distinguish them, and the fixing plate can be clamped onto the upper part of the mobile equipment.

[0039] The side camera 3 is rotatably connected to the telescopic rod 4, and the side camera can rotate 180° around the telescopic rod as an axis.

[0040] like Figures 5-6 As shown, the telescopic rod 4 is installed inside the fixed plate 1. When the telescopic rod 4 is not pulled out, the side of the side camera 3 is in close contact with the side of the fixed plate 1. When the telescopic rod 4 is pulled out, the side camera 3 is attached to both sides of the mobile motorized equipment.

[0041] When the telescopic rod 4 is not pulled out, the lower end of the side camera 3 is flush with the fixed plate 1, and the upper end is the tip that extends beyond the fixed plate 1; when the telescopic rod 4 is pulled out, the side camera 3 rotates 180° and the tip faces down.

[0042] The contact surface between the side camera 3 and the fixing plate 1 is an anti-slip friction surface, which helps to enhance the friction between the side cameras on both sides and the mobile motorized equipment. The fixing plate is fixed to the upper part of the mobile motorized equipment by the pulling force of the side cameras on both sides and the telescopic rod.

[0043] Example 2

[0044] This embodiment combines Figure 1-6 The following describes how to use the mobile image acquisition device of this utility model.

[0045] When the image acquisition device is not in use, the telescopic rod 4 retracts into the fixing plate 1. At this time, the side of the side camera 3 fits tightly against the side of the fixing plate 1, forming a smooth external contour to reduce wind resistance and protect the camera from dust and dirt. The side camera 3 is installed with its tip pointing upwards for the same protective purpose.

[0046] When using the image acquisition device, first pull the telescopic rod 4 out from inside the fixed plate 1, so that the side camera 3 extends outward along the telescopic rod 4 until the side camera 3 can be attached to both sides of the mobile equipment. At this time, the side camera 3 can rotate 180° around the axis of the telescopic rod 4, so that the tip of the side camera 3 faces downward, which is convenient for capturing images in the front and rear directions of the mobile equipment.

[0047] After the side camera 3 is rotated and fixed in position, the contact surface between the side camera 3 and the fixing plate 1 is an anti-slip friction surface, which increases the friction between the side camera 3 and the mobile motorized equipment. Thus, the fixing plate 1 is firmly fixed to the upper part of the mobile motorized equipment by the pulling force of the side cameras 3 on both sides and the telescopic rod 4.

[0048] Meanwhile, the field of view of the top camera 2 can be adjusted by adjusting the angles of the left and right adjustment ring 202 and the top and bottom cameras 204 to meet different shooting needs. The processor protective shell 201 is electrically connected to the top and bottom cameras 204 and the left and right adjustment ring 202, and is responsible for controlling the left and right and up and down angles of the field of view of the top camera 2.

[0049] The entire image acquisition device, including the top camera 2, the side camera 3, the telescopic rod 4, and the mounting plate 1, is designed to reduce wind resistance. The top camera 2, the processor protective shell 201, and the positioning box 203 are all cylindrical or rounded cylindrical, while the side of the side camera 3 is designed as a cone shape that is wider at the bottom and narrower at the top. These designs help reduce wind resistance and improve the stability and safety of the image acquisition device during operation.

[0050] The above description of the embodiments is provided to enable those skilled in the art to understand and use the utility model. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications can be easily made to these embodiments, and the general principles described herein can be applied to other embodiments without inventive effort. Therefore, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments, and any improvements and modifications made by those skilled in the art based on the disclosure of the present utility model without departing from its scope should be within the protection scope of the present utility model.
