Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts technology, and more specifically to an adaptive automotive radar bracket. Background Technology
[0002] The automotive industry is currently experiencing rapid development, with continuously improving product quality and shortening development cycles. Simultaneously, cost requirements are decreasing while quality demands are constantly increasing. The market offers a dazzling array of car models. The surface curvature of the body panels varies from model to model, therefore, installing automotive radar on the body panel (bumper area) requires the use of radar brackets of different specifications. Currently, automotive radar brackets are not universally compatible with the body panels of different car models, requiring a separate radar bracket mold for each project, resulting in high costs and long development cycles. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the problems in the prior art, this utility model provides an adaptive automotive radar bracket, which solves the problem that existing automotive radar brackets cannot be used with different vehicle body panels and have high development costs.
[0004] This utility model provides an adaptive automotive radar bracket, comprising:
[0005] A substrate having a front side and a back side opposite to each other, the front side having a deformation groove structure, the deformation groove structure including an annular groove, a plurality of radial through grooves, a transverse through groove and a longitudinal through groove;
[0006] The connector is used to install an automotive radar. The connector is connected to the front side. The annular groove is arranged along the circumference of the connector. The plurality of radial through grooves are spaced apart along the circumference of the annular groove. The longitudinal through groove is connected to two adjacent radial through grooves. The transverse through groove is arranged to intersect with the longitudinal through groove and is connected to the annular groove.
[0007] An adhesive layer for bonding the vehicle body skin, the adhesive layer being laid on the back side.
[0008] Furthermore, the widths of the annular groove, the radial through groove, the transverse through groove, and the longitudinal through groove gradually increase from the bottom of the groove towards the opening.
[0009] Furthermore, the sidewalls and bottom wall of the substrate used to form the annular groove, the radial through groove, the transverse through groove and the longitudinal through groove are set at a preset angle.
[0010] Preferably, the preset angle is 45°.
[0011] Preferably, the thickness of the substrate is 1.2 mm where the deformation groove structure is not provided.
[0012] Preferably, the thickness between the bottom wall of the substrate used to form the annular groove, the radial through groove, the transverse through groove and the longitudinal through groove and the back surface of the substrate is 0.5 mm.
[0013] Preferably, the adhesive layer is 3M tape.
[0014] Preferably, the thickness of the 3M tape is 0.8 mm.
[0015] This invention relates to an adaptive automotive radar bracket. By incorporating a deformation groove structure on the front side of the substrate to weaken its rigidity, the substrate gains a degree of adaptive deformability, while the back side becomes a flexible surface. The back side of the substrate can conform to vehicle body panels with different curvatures, allowing the adaptive automotive radar bracket to be installed on different vehicle models with varying curvatures. This reduces the development cost and shortens the development cycle of the automotive radar bracket. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The preferred embodiments of this utility model are given below with reference to the accompanying drawings and described in detail.
[0023] Reference Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the present invention provides an adaptive automotive radar bracket, comprising a base plate 1, a connector 2, and an adhesive layer 3. The base plate 1 has a front side and a back side facing each other. The connector 2 is connected to the front side of the base plate 1 for mounting the automotive radar. The adhesive layer 3 is laid on the back side of the base plate 1 for bonding the vehicle body panel 5, i.e., the vehicle bumper. In this embodiment, the base plate 1 is rectangular, plate-shaped, or sheet-shaped.
[0024] The front side of the substrate 1 is provided with a deformation groove structure, which includes an annular groove 41, multiple radial through grooves 42, transverse through grooves 43, and longitudinal through grooves 44. The annular groove 41 is arranged circumferentially along the connector 2. The multiple radial through grooves 42 are spaced apart circumferentially along the annular groove 41. One end of the radial through groove 42 is connected to the annular groove 41, and the other end of the radial through groove 42 penetrates the side of the substrate 1. The longitudinal through groove 44 is connected to two adjacent radial through grooves 42. Both ends of the longitudinal through groove 44 are respectively connected to two adjacent radial through grooves 42. The transverse through grooves 43 are intersected with the longitudinal through grooves 44 and are connected to the annular groove 41. One end of the transverse through groove 42 is connected to the annular groove 41, and the other end of the transverse through groove 43 penetrates the side of the substrate 1.
[0025] In this embodiment, the connector 2 is disposed at the center of the plane of the substrate 1, and the annular groove 41 is disposed outside the connector 2. There are four radial through grooves 42, which are evenly spaced along the circumference of the annular groove 41. In a preferred embodiment, the widths of the annular groove 41, radial through grooves 42, transverse through grooves 43, and longitudinal through grooves 44 gradually increase from the bottom of the groove towards the opening.
[0026] In this embodiment, the sidewall b of the substrate 1, which forms the annular groove 41, radial through groove 42, transverse through groove 43, and longitudinal through groove 44, is set at a predetermined angle to the bottom wall a. As a preferred embodiment, this predetermined angle is 45°.
[0027] In this embodiment, the thickness of the substrate 1 is 1.2 mm where the deformation groove is not provided. The thickness between the bottom wall of the substrate 1, which forms the annular groove 41, radial through groove 42, transverse through groove 43 and longitudinal through groove 44 and the back surface of the substrate 1 is 0.5 mm.
[0028] The substrate 1 and the connector 2 are integrally formed. In this embodiment, the substrate 1 and the connector 2 are injection molded, and the structure of the connector 2 is adapted to the automotive radar. As a preferred embodiment, the adhesive layer 3 is 3M tape. In this embodiment, the thickness of the 3M tape is 1mm.
[0029] This invention relates to an adaptive automotive radar bracket. By incorporating a deformation groove structure on the front side of the substrate to weaken its rigidity, the substrate gains a degree of adaptive deformability, while the back side of the substrate becomes a flexible surface. (See reference...) Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the back of the substrate can fit together with body panels of different curvatures, enabling the adaptive car radar bracket of this invention to be installed on body panels of different car models with different curvatures, reducing the development cost and shortening the development cycle of the car radar bracket.
[0030] This utility model's adaptive automotive radar bracket can flexibly adapt to body panels with different curvature radii, solving the problem of additional bracket costs due to changes in vehicle model styling, improving development efficiency, enabling automotive radar to be applicable to different locations and cope with changes in styling in different areas, reducing development costs and improving development efficiency.
[0031] The adaptive automotive radar bracket of this invention can also be rotated in various directions such as 90 degrees and 180 degrees to adapt to different installation directions of the wiring harness.
[0032] This utility model's adaptive automotive radar bracket, through a deformation groove structure, allows the bracket's mounting plane to adapt to the shape of the vehicle's skin, ensuring a perfect fit between the two surfaces and achieving a seamless connection between the skin and the bracket structure. Furthermore, a single radar bracket structure can be used across multiple vehicle models, avoiding the need for custom-designed radar brackets for each model to match the bumper structure. Each project reduces the number of molds required, satisfying the appearance, dimensions, and performance requirements of multiple bumper assemblies. In other words, this patent protects the shared use of radar bracket structures, solving the problem of non-shared radar brackets.
[0033] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various variations can be made to the above embodiments of this utility model. That is, all simple and equivalent changes and modifications made based on the claims and description of this utility model application fall within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model patent. Any aspects of this utility model not described in detail are conventional technical content.
