Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of forward-looking active safety camera technology, and more specifically, to a forward-looking camera module and a forward-looking camera assembly. Background Technology

[0002] A forward-facing active safety camera, or simply a forward-facing camera, is typically positioned inside the windshield of a car, near the top of the glass. It collects video information from outside the vehicle and is a multi-functional, highly integrated driver assistance product. Its main functions generally include automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, lane keeping assist, traffic sign recognition, high beam assist, and adaptive cruise control, providing assistance for safe driving. With the increasing intelligence of automobiles and the growing emphasis on active safety systems, the application of forward-facing cameras is becoming more widespread.

[0003] Traditional front-view cameras are limited to real-time road and vehicle condition recognition and cannot export or store video information recorded during vehicle operation. The usual practice is to install a dashcam. Currently, dashcams are mainly divided into two categories based on installation time: pre-installed (installed before the vehicle leaves the factory) and aftermarket (installed after the vehicle leaves the factory). Due to the limited interior space of a vehicle, pre-installed dashcams are difficult to install, increasing the dark area on the glass, affecting aesthetics, and are more expensive. Aftermarket dashcams require customer installation, and their placement and wiring affect aesthetics and may disrupt the vehicle's wiring, posing safety risks.

[0004] In addition, the connectors of traditional front-view cameras are all designed to exit from the rear. Due to the position of the interior rearview mirror and the limited space for the connector harness of the front-view camera, it is difficult to install the front-view camera in the whole vehicle.

[0005] Therefore, how to export video information without installing a dashcam is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0065] The core of this application is to provide a front-view camera module that can export video information without installing a dashcam;

[0066] Another key aspect of this application is to provide a front-view camera assembly having the aforementioned front-view camera module.

[0067] Hereinafter, embodiments will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Furthermore, the embodiments shown below do not limit the scope of the application as described in the claims. Additionally, the complete composition represented in the embodiments below is not limited to what is necessary as the solution to the application described in the claims. It should be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts relevant to the application are shown in the drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other.

[0068] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown in the figure, the front-view camera module 200 disclosed in this application includes a support base 220, a lens 210, and a sensor circuit board 230. The support base 220 serves as a support structure for the lens 210 and the sensor circuit board 230. The lens 210 is fixed to one side of the support base 220, and the sensor circuit board 230 is fixed to the other side of the support base 220. An opening is required at the position corresponding to the lens 210 to allow light to pass through the lens 210 and act on the photosensitive chip of the sensor circuit board 230.

[0069] The sensor circuit board 230 includes a circuit board body 231 and an RF connector 232 and an FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit) cable 234 connected to the circuit board body 231. It should be noted that the circuit board body 231 should also be equipped with a photosensitive chip and other necessary components. The parts of the sensor circuit board 230 that are the same as those of a traditional sensor circuit board will not be described in detail here.

[0070] The FPC flexible flat cable 234 is used to connect to the main circuit board 300. The main circuit board 300 connects to the front-view camera module 200 via the FPC flexible flat cable 234, and the main circuit board 300 connects to the autonomous driving domain controller, thus enabling signal transmission between the autonomous driving domain controller and the front-view camera module 200. The RF connector 232 is used to output video information; that is, the RF connector 232 can export the video signal acquired by the front-view camera module 200. Users can connect to other devices via the RF connector 232 using appropriate wiring harnesses, such as connecting to a vehicle infotainment system, to import video information into the vehicle infotainment system or other corresponding devices. It should be noted that the RF connector 232 can also be connected to other display devices, storage devices, etc.

[0071] The front-view camera module 200 disclosed in this application adds an RF connector 232 to the circuit board body 231 of the sensor circuit board 230. The RF connector 232 can output video information, which can be imported into the vehicle's infotainment system as needed. This application can export driving video information without installing a dashcam, realizing the functions of driving video viewing and storage, and also realizing the integrated design of the front-view camera module 200 and the dashcam.

[0072] In one specific embodiment of this application, the FPC flexible flat cable 234 is used to transmit MIPI (Mobile Industry Processor Interface) video data to the main circuit board 300. The video information output by the RF connector 232 is GMSL2 (Gigabit Multimedia Serial Link 2) video data. The RF connector 232 uses coaxial cable transmission, which has a relatively long transmission distance.

[0073] In one specific embodiment of this application, the lens 210 can be glued to the support base 220, for example, by using AA glue. AA glue is an adhesive with a dual curing mechanism of UV (ultraviolet light) heating. It has properties such as low shrinkage, resistance to high and low temperatures, aging resistance, and high thixotropy. These properties enable it to improve the imaging clarity of the front-view camera module 200, ensuring efficient product assembly, safe use, and extended lifespan.

[0074] The sensor circuit board 230 can be fixed to the support base 220 by the first fastener 240. The number of the first fasteners 240 should be sufficient to stably fix the sensor circuit board 230. The first fasteners 240 can be M2×5 screws, or other types of fasteners can be selected. The edge of the sensor circuit board 230 fits against the edge of the support base 220 to achieve sealing and EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) shielding.

[0075] The RF connector 232 can be soldered to the bottom surface (i.e., the BOTTOM surface) of the circuit board 231, and one end of the FPC flexible flat cable 234 can be soldered to the bottom surface (i.e., the BOTTOM surface) of the circuit board 231 through the first FPC socket 233.

[0076] like Figures 1-4 As shown in the figure, this application embodiment also discloses a front-view camera assembly, which includes a front-view camera module 200 and a main circuit board 300. The front-view camera module 200 is the same as the front-view camera module 200 disclosed in the above embodiment. Since it possesses the aforementioned front-view camera module 200, it also has all the technical effects of the aforementioned front-view camera module 200, which will not be repeated here.

[0077] The main circuit board 300 includes a PCB board 330 and a main connector 310 and an Ethernet connector 320 connected to the PCB board 330. The main circuit board 300 is used to receive video information collected by the forward-looking camera module 200, and after processing such as image processing, decision-making, planning, and control, it is transferred to the autonomous driving domain controller.

[0078] The FPC flexible flat cable 234 connects to the PCB board 330, and the main circuit board 300 receives video information collected by the forward-looking camera module 200 through the FPC flexible flat cable 234. The main connector 310 and the Ethernet connector 320 are used to communicate with the autonomous driving domain controller to process the video information and transmit it to the autonomous driving domain controller, thereby realizing the assisted driving function.

[0079] The main connector 310, Ethernet connector 320 and RF connector 232 are all side-out connectors, meaning that the insertion and removal directions of the main connector 310, Ethernet connector 320 and RF connector 232 are located on the side of the front-view camera assembly, rather than the rear, which solves the problem of the limited position of the front-view camera assembly due to the connector insertion and removal space when it is arranged in the whole vehicle.

[0080] Furthermore, the RF connector 232, main connector 310, and Ethernet connector 320 are led out from the same side of the front-view camera assembly to facilitate wiring harness organization and to make the front-view camera assembly easier to place on the vehicle. It should be noted that the RF connector 232, main connector 310, and Ethernet connector 320 can also be led out from different sides of the front-view camera assembly as needed.

[0081] In one specific embodiment of this application, the FPC flexible flat cable 234 is soldered to the bottom surface (i.e., the BOTTOM side) of the PCB board 330 via the second FPC socket 340. The main connector 310 and the Ethernet connector 320 are soldered to the front surface (i.e., the TOP side) of the PCB board 330. The main connector 310 can be a 24-pin connector.

[0082] In one specific embodiment of this application, the front-view camera assembly may further include a housing assembly. To facilitate the assembly of internal components, the housing assembly includes a first housing 100 and a second housing 400 that are detachably connected. The front-view camera module 200 and the main circuit board 300 are installed within the cavity formed by the first housing 100 and the second housing 400. During installation, the front-view camera module 200 and the main circuit board 300 can be first embedded in the first housing 100, and then the second housing 400 can be fixed to the first housing 100, thereby achieving the installation of the front-view camera module 200 and the main circuit board 300 within the housing assembly.

[0083] The insertion ends of the RF connector 232, main connector 310, and Ethernet connector 320 all extend out of the cavity. That is, a notch needs to be reserved in the housing assembly to allow the RF connector 232, main connector 310, and Ethernet connector 320 to extend out, facilitating plugging and unplugging connections with external devices.

[0084] Both the first housing 100 and the second housing 400 can be made of aluminum alloy to achieve a lighter weight while maintaining high strength. Specifically, the first housing 100 is made of ADC12 aluminum alloy, and the second housing 400 is made of 5052 aluminum alloy. It should be noted that the above-mentioned specific materials are only examples and are not limited to these examples. Those skilled in the art can select the materials for the first housing 100 and the second housing 400 according to their needs.

[0085] After the forward-view camera assembly is installed in the vehicle, the first housing 100 can be located above the second housing 400. The first housing 100 forms a cavity structure for accommodating the forward-view camera module 200 and the main circuit board 300. The second housing 400 is used to seal the opening side of the first housing 100 to fix the forward-view camera module 200 and the main circuit board 300 in the cavity.

[0086] Since the first housing 100 forms a cavity structure, its structure is relatively complex and can be formed by die casting, that is, the first housing 100 is a die casting structure; since the main function of the second housing 400 is to seal the opening of the first housing 100, its structure is relatively simple and can be formed by stamping, that is, the second housing 400 is a stamping structure.

[0087] Those skilled in the art will understand that the first housing 100 and the second housing 400 can also be formed by other processes, and are not limited to the forming methods disclosed in the above examples.

[0088] Please combine Figure 6 In one specific embodiment of this application, the first housing 100 includes a first receiving portion 101 and a second receiving portion 102. The first receiving portion 101 is used to receive the front-view camera module 200, and the second receiving portion 102 is used to receive the main circuit board 300. The first receiving portion 101 and the second receiving portion 102 can be arranged at a certain angle, that is, the first receiving portion 101 and the second receiving portion 102 are not on the same plane; so that the main circuit board 300 and the sensor circuit board 230 are not on the same plane, so that the lens 210 can collect light along the corresponding angle.

[0089] The first receiving portion 101 has a lens protrusion hole 108 for the lens 210 to extend out and a first extension port 107 for the RF connector 232 to extend out; the second receiving portion 102 has a second extension port 105 for the main connector 310 to extend out and a third extension port 106 for the Ethernet connector 320 to extend out.

[0090] In one specific embodiment of this application, the first housing 100 has a first embedding opening for embedding the main circuit board 300 and a second embedding opening for embedding the front-view camera module 200, and the second housing 400 has a bottom housing portion and a side housing portion.

[0091] The second housing 400 is fixed to the first housing 100 by a plurality of second fasteners 500. In this embodiment, six second fasteners 500 are used as an example. Those skilled in the art will understand that the specific number of second fasteners 500 can be selected according to the fixing requirements and is not limited to the six disclosed in this embodiment.

[0092] For example, the bottom housing portion of the second housing 400 can be fixed to the first embedded opening by four second fasteners 500. The second fasteners 500 fixed to the bottom housing portion of the second housing 400 can pass through the main circuit board 300 to simultaneously fix the main circuit board 300. For example, fastener holes can be opened on the main circuit board 300 at positions corresponding to each of the second fasteners 500 to facilitate the insertion of the second fasteners 500.

[0093] The side housing portion of the second housing 400 is fixed to the second embedding opening by two second fasteners 500, thereby closing the second embedding opening.

[0094] The support base 220 can be fixed to the first housing 100 by the third fastener 600. The second fastener 500 can be an M3×10 screw, or other types of fasteners. The third fastener 600 can be an M2×5 screw, or other types of fasteners. In this embodiment, the first housing 100 and the second housing 400 are connected by fasteners, which helps to improve the EMC shielding effect. Furthermore, the surface of the second fastener 500 can be coated with a zinc-nickel plating to prevent corrosion in humid and hot environments, thus preventing short circuits. Correspondingly, the surface of the third fastener 600 can also be coated with a zinc-nickel plating.

[0095] To improve the heat dissipation effect of the housing assembly, in this embodiment, a heat dissipation protrusion (not shown in the figure) for heat dissipation of the power devices of the main circuit board 300 is provided inside the first housing. Thermally conductive adhesive can be coated on the heat dissipation protrusion, and the contact area is increased by contacting the chip through the thermally conductive adhesive, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency.

[0096] The main body of the second housing 400 is used to press down the main circuit board 300, and the sidewall of the second housing 400 is provided with a spring piece that is interference-fitted with the groove of the first housing 100. That is, in this embodiment, the middle part of the bottom housing portion of the second housing 400 is the main body portion, and a sidewall protruding to one side is formed around the main body portion, and a spring piece is provided on the outer side of the sidewall. After the sidewall of the bottom housing portion of the second housing 400 is inserted into the groove of the first housing 100, the spring piece, under its elastic force, always maintains an interference fit with the groove, thus optimizing the EMC shielding effect.

[0097] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the first housing is provided with a first latching part 103 and a second latching part 104. The first latching part 103 and the second latching part 104 are used to latch onto the bracket 700, so that the front-view camera assembly can be transferred to the upper side of the windshield inside the car through the bracket 700. The lens 210 collects video information outside the vehicle, and the video information is brought out through the radio frequency connector 232 on the sensor circuit board 230 to perform the function of a driving recorder; at the same time, the video information is transmitted to the main circuit board 300 through the FPC flexible cable 234. The main circuit board 300 performs image processing, decision-making, planning and control, etc., and interacts with the whole vehicle through the main connector 310 and the Ethernet connector 320, thereby realizing the assisted driving function.

[0098] Furthermore, one of the first latching portion 103 and the second latching portion 104 is disposed on the first receiving portion 101 and the other is disposed on the second receiving portion 102 to ensure the reliability of the front-view camera assembly being fixed to the bracket 700.
