It should be understood that the preferred embodiments are only for illustrating this utility model and not for limiting the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0027] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments are only schematic representations of the basic concept of the present invention. The illustrations only show the components related to the present invention and are not drawn according to the actual number, shape and size of the components in the actual implementation. In the actual implementation, the form, quantity and proportion of each component can be arbitrarily changed, and the layout of the components may also be more complex.
[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 The roof sensing device mounting bracket 1 shown includes a bracket body 11 adapted to connect with the inner side of the vehicle's windshield 2 and a mounting groove 12 recessed downward relative to the bracket body 11. The mounting groove 12 is used to mount the roof sensing device 4. The rear part of the roof sensing device mounting bracket 1 has a connecting part for connecting with the roof crossbeam 3.
[0029] By adopting the above technical solution, the mounting slot 12 can provide a mounting point for the roof sensing device 4, eliminating the need to set a mounting point for the roof sensing device 4 on the roof crossbeam 3. This reduces the restriction on the structural design freedom of the roof crossbeam 3, avoids the adverse effects of the roof sensing device 4 on the structure of the roof crossbeam 3, and helps to ensure the structural strength of the roof crossbeam 3 and the torsional stiffness of the whole vehicle.
[0030] In the above technical solution, by setting the mounting slot 12 on the roof sensing device mounting bracket 1 in front of the roof crossbeam 3, a new installation scheme for the roof sensing device 4 is provided, offering new options for vehicle styling. Since the roof sensing device mounting bracket 1 is located in front of the roof crossbeam 3, compared to the roof crossbeam 3 itself, the roof sensing device mounting bracket 1 is less likely to conflict with the arrangement of other roof components, and its impact on interior headroom is also smaller.
[0031] In the above technical solution, the roof sensing device mounting bracket 1 is connected to the windshield 2 and the roof crossbeam 3 respectively, which can ensure the supporting capacity of the roof sensing device mounting bracket 1 for supporting the roof sensing device 4.
[0032] In practical implementation, the roof-mounted sensing device 4 is a sensing device arranged on the roof of the vehicle, such as a roof-mounted lidar and a roof-mounted gimbal camera.
[0033] In some embodiments, the front and upper sides of the mounting slot 12 are both open. By configuring the mounting slot 12 as a structure with both the front and upper sides open, the front and upper openings of the mounting slot 12 can be used to provide an installation channel for the roof sensing device 4, and the upper and front openings of the mounting slot 12 can also be used to avoid the roof sensing device 4, thereby reducing the installation and layout difficulty of the roof sensing device 4.
[0034] As a specific example, the mounting groove 12 is formed by a bottom wall 121 and two side walls 122 located on the left and right sides of the bottom wall 121, respectively. The bottom wall 121 and the two side walls 122 extend rearward to the rear edge of the roof sensing device mounting bracket 1. The upper edges of the two side walls 122 slope downward from back to front, and the front ends of the upper edges of the two side walls 122 are connected to the left and right ends of the front edge of the bottom wall 121, respectively, forming a mounting groove 12 that is open on the front, upper, and rear sides. This mounting groove 12 has the characteristics of simple structure and easy molding.
[0035] In some embodiments, the mounting groove 12 is located at the middle of the rear part of the bracket body 11 in the left-right direction. A first sealing part 111 for sealing connection with the inner side of the vehicle windshield 2 is formed on the front part of the upper surface of the bracket body 11, a second sealing part 112 for sealing connection with the inner side of the vehicle windshield 2 is formed on the right part of the rear part of the upper surface of the bracket body 11, and a third sealing part 113 for sealing connection with the inner side of the vehicle windshield 2 is formed on the left part of the rear part of the upper surface of the bracket body 11.
[0036] By providing the first sealing part 111, the second sealing part 112, and the third sealing part 113, and with an opening on the windshield 2 opposite to the mounting groove 12, it helps to ensure the sealing performance between the roof sensing device mounting bracket 1 and the windshield 2, thereby ensuring the sealing performance of the vehicle.
[0037] In specific implementation, in order to better ensure the sealing performance at the mounting groove 12, the front end of the second sealing part 112 is connected to the right end of the first sealing part 111, the front end of the third sealing part 113 is connected to the left end of the first sealing part 111, and the mounting groove 12 is located in the area enclosed by the first sealing part 111, the second sealing part 112 and the third sealing part 113.
[0038] In some embodiments, a fourth sealing portion is formed on the rear portion of the lower surface of the roof sensing device mounting bracket 1 for sealing connection with the roof crossbeam 3. Providing the fourth sealing portion helps ensure the sealing performance between the roof sensing device mounting bracket 1 and the roof crossbeam 3, thereby ensuring the vehicle's sealing performance. In a specific implementation, the fourth sealing portion is provided along the rear edge of the roof sensing device mounting bracket 1, and the fourth sealing portion is the lower surface of the connecting portion.
[0039] In some embodiments, the bottom wall 121 of the mounting groove 12 is provided with a mounting hole 123 for fixing the roof sensing device 4, and the roof sensing device 4 can be fixedly connected to the bottom wall 121 of the mounting groove 12 using fasteners that cooperate with the mounting hole 123.
[0040] In some embodiments, the bottom wall 121 of the mounting groove 12 is provided with a clearance hole 124 for avoiding a portion of the structure of the roof sensing device 4. Providing the clearance hole 124 can reduce the installation difficulty of the roof sensing device 4.
[0041] As a specific example, the clearance hole 124 is used to avoid the motor structure and wiring harness of the roof sensing device 4.
[0042] As a preferred example, a plurality of mounting holes 123 are arranged around the periphery of the clearance hole 124.
[0043] In some embodiments, the bracket body 11 is provided with a mounting portion for mounting vehicle-mounted sensing devices. In the prior art, a windshield bracket is usually installed on the inner side of the upper part of the windshield 2, and the windshield bracket is used to provide mounting points for some vehicle-mounted sensing devices. In this embodiment, by providing a mounting portion for mounting vehicle-mounted sensing devices on the bracket body 11, the roof sensing device mounting bracket 1 integrates the function of the windshield bracket, and has the characteristics of reasonable structural design.
[0044] As a specific example, a lane departure monitor mounting part 114 and a rain sensor mounting part 115 are provided at the front of the bracket body 11.
[0045] As a specific example, the material of the roof-mounted sensing device mounting bracket 1 can be magnesium-aluminum alloy. The roof-mounted sensing device mounting bracket 1 made of magnesium-aluminum alloy has the characteristics of good strength, strong structural adaptability, high structural precision and light weight.
[0046] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this utility model also proposes a windshield assembly, including a front windshield 2 and a roof sensing device mounting bracket 1 as described in any of the above claims. The bracket body 11 is connected to the inner side of the front windshield 2. The front windshield 2 has an opening opposite to the mounting groove 12, which extends through the front windshield 2 along its thickness direction. The opening is used to avoid the roof sensing device 4 installed in the mounting groove 12 and / or to provide an installation channel for the roof sensing device 4 installed in the mounting groove 12. By adopting the above technical solution, by providing an opening opposite to the mounting groove 12 on the front windshield 2, and using the opening and the mounting groove 12 to form a roof sensing device mounting structure, a new roof sensing device 4 mounting scheme is provided, offering a new option for vehicle styling and being easy to install.
[0047] In practice, when the roof sensing device 4 protrudes from the windshield 2, the opening can avoid the roof sensing device 4 installed in the mounting groove 12.
[0048] In practice, the opening can serve as an installation channel for the roof-mounted sensing device 4, which helps to reduce the installation difficulty of the roof-mounted sensing device 4.
[0049] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the opening is a notch 21 located at the upper edge of the windshield 2. The notch 21 on the windshield 2 serves to avoid obstructing the roof sensing device 4 installed in the mounting slot 12 and / or to provide a mounting channel for the roof sensing device 4 installed in the mounting slot 12, which is easy to implement.
[0050] In some embodiments, the bracket body 11 is fixedly connected to the windshield 2 by adhesive bonding. The roof sensing device mounting bracket 1 can be bonded to the windshield 2 to form an assembly for supply and assembly, which is convenient for supply and assembly.
[0051] As a specific example, the roof-mounted sensor bracket 1 can be adhered to the rear side of the windshield 2 using silicone sealant, which creates a sealed connection between the roof-mounted sensor bracket 1 and the windshield 2. Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the rear edge of the windshield 2 and the rear edge of the roof sensing device mounting bracket 1 can be bonded to the connecting edge 31 of the roof crossbeam 3 using silicone sealant. The sealant forms a seal between the windshield assembly and the roof crossbeam 3. Using this method, a seal is formed around the roof sensing device mounting bracket 1, which helps ensure the vehicle's sealing performance.
[0052] In practical implementation, a connecting part for connecting with the roof crossbeam 3 can be formed at the rear edge of the roof sensing device mounting bracket 1, and the connecting part is set along the rear edge of the roof sensing device mounting bracket 1.
[0053] In specific implementation, such as Figure 4 As shown, when the rear part of the mounting groove 12 is bonded to the connecting edge 31 of the roof crossbeam 3, the connecting edge 31 is provided with a recess 311 that matches the rear part of the mounting groove 12.
