Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the related technical field of intelligent driving vehicle accessories especially, a roof support. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the rapid development of intelligent driving technology, various types of autonomous vehicles are increasingly widely used in logistics, take-out, express delivery and other industries. These intelligent driving vehicles rely on the sensor components installed on the top to realize environmental perception, path planning and obstacle avoidance functions, thereby ensuring safe and efficient operation in complex and variable park environments. However, the existing vehicle top sensor installation method, while improving the appearance of the vehicle, also exposes a series of practical problems.

[0003] Currently, most of the sensor components of intelligent driving vehicles on the market use an integrated installation method, that is, all sensors (such as cameras, lidar, ultrasonic sensors, infrared sensors, etc.) are integrated in a fixed housing or bracket and directly installed on the top of the vehicle. Although this installation method simplifies the installation process and improves the overall appearance, it brings many inconveniences in actual application.

[0004] Firstly, intelligent driving vehicles in the park face complex and variable environmental conditions, such as tree shading and dense human flow. Different environmental conditions have different requirements for sensor types and performance. For example, in areas with dense trees, the detection effect of lidar may be affected due to shading, and ultrasonic sensors or infrared sensors with lower sensitivity to obstructions may need to be replaced. However, due to the existing integrated installation method, the sensor components are difficult to replace quickly, and the vehicle cannot flexibly adjust the sensor configuration when facing different environments, thereby limiting its adaptability and flexibility. Secondly, as one of the core components of intelligent driving vehicles, the service life and performance of sensors will gradually decrease with the increase of use time. When a sensor fails or its performance decreases, if the integrated installation method is used, the entire sensor component needs to be replaced, which not only increases the maintenance cost, but also prolongs the maintenance time, affecting the normal operation of the vehicle. SUMMARY

[0005] In order to overcome at least one of the defects of the prior art described above, the utility model provides a roof support. The problem of inconvenient sensor replacement and high maintenance cost can be solved.

[0006] The technical scheme adopted by the utility model to solve the problem is:

[0007] A roof support comprises a roof assembly plate for assembly to a roof panel, a top surface of the roof assembly plate being provided with a first assembly part; an assembly bottom plate, a bottom surface of the assembly bottom plate being provided with a second assembly part, the first assembly part being detachably connected with the second assembly part, a top surface of the assembly bottom plate being provided with a bottom plate accommodating groove; a cover plate, the cover plate being covered above the assembly bottom plate, a bottom surface of the cover plate being provided with a cover plate accommodating groove, the bottom plate accommodating groove being communicated with the cover plate accommodating groove, a top surface of the cover plate comprising a sensor assembly part, the sensor assembly part being lower than a highest part of the top surface of the cover plate.

[0008] By adopting the above scheme, the roof assembly plate is used for assembly to the roof panel, thereby providing a stable mounting basis for the support, the bottom surface of the assembly bottom plate is provided with the first assembly part, and the first assembly part of the roof assembly plate is detachably connected with the second assembly part. This design makes the assembly bottom plate convenient to be detached from the roof assembly plate, thereby facilitating maintenance or replacement, and the sensor on the sensor assembly part is also more convenient to be replaced alone.

[0009] Further, one of the first assembly part and the second assembly part is an inner recessed sliding groove, and the other is an outer protruding sliding rail, and the first assembly part is slidably connected with the second assembly part.

[0010] By adopting the above scheme, the design of the sliding connection makes the assembly bottom plate easy to be slidably mounted along the roof assembly plate. Similarly, the disassembly process is also very simple, and only the sliding rail needs to be slid out of the sliding groove; the close fit of the sliding groove and the sliding rail ensures the stable connection between the assembly bottom plate and the roof assembly plate, thereby avoiding the loosening or damage of the sensor due to vibration or bumping.

[0011] Further, the cover plate is provided with a first connecting piece at an edge thereof, the assembly bottom plate is provided with a second connecting piece at an edge thereof corresponding to the first connecting piece, and the first connecting piece is detachably connected with the second connecting piece.

[0012] By adopting the above scheme, since the cover plate and the assembly bottom plate are detachably connected, the cover plate can be easily opened, so as to maintain or replace the control module of the sensor. This design makes the replacement and maintenance of the sensor assembly more convenient and fast.

[0013] Further, one of the first connecting piece and the second connecting piece is a clamping jaw, and the other is a clamping opening, and the first connecting piece is clamped with the second connecting piece.

[0014] By adopting the above scheme, the connection mode of the clamping jaw and the clamping opening makes the assembly between the cover plate and the assembly base very simple and fast. Only by aligning the clamping jaw with the clamping opening and gently pressing down, the close connection of the two can be realized. This design greatly shortens the assembly time and improves the work efficiency; the close fit of the clamping jaw and the clamping opening ensures the stable connection between the cover plate and the assembly base. During the driving of the vehicle, even if bumps or vibrations are encountered, the clamping connection can maintain the stability and safety of the sensor assembly; compared with other connection modes, the connection mode of the clamping jaw and the clamping opening makes the disassembly and replacement process more convenient. Only by gently pressing the clamping jaw and pulling out, the cover plate and the assembly base can be separated. This design makes the maintenance and replacement of the sensor assembly easier and faster.

[0015] Further, the clamping jaw comprises a first clamping arm and a second clamping arm arranged in parallel, a connecting crossbar is arranged between the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm, the connecting crossbar is fixed with the cover plate, a first clamping block is arranged on the side of the first clamping arm away from the second clamping arm, a second clamping block is arranged on the side of the second clamping arm away from the first clamping arm, and the first clamping block and the second clamping block are respectively clamped with two opposite edges of the clamping opening.

[0016] By adopting the above scheme, since the clamping jaw adopts the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm arranged in parallel and the connecting crossbar connecting the two, this structure makes the clamping jaw keep balance and stability when clamped into the clamping opening. At the same time, the close fit of the first clamping block and the second clamping block with the edges of the clamping opening further enhances the stability of the connection.

[0017] Further, one side of the first clamping block and the second clamping block towards the clamping opening is provided with an arc surface, so that the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm deform and slide into the clamping opening.

[0018] By adopting the above scheme, the arc surface is arranged on the side of the first clamping block and the second clamping block towards the clamping opening, which mainly guides the deformation of the clamping jaw and smoothly slides into the clamping opening. When the clamping jaw is pushed towards the clamping opening, the arc surface will first contact the edge of the clamping opening, and gradually guide the deformation of the clamping jaw through its smooth curve shape, until the first clamping block and the second clamping block are completely clamped into the clamping opening, avoiding the resistance or friction caused by the direct collision of the clamping jaw with the edge of the clamping opening. This not only reduces the difficulty and complexity in the installation process, but also prolongs the service life of the clamping jaw and the clamping opening.

[0019] Further, the sensor assembly position comprises an inclined surface, a positioning hole and an assembly hole are arranged on the inclined surface; an abutting edge is located at the bottom of the inclined surface and used for abutting with the sensor.

[0020] By adopting the above scheme, the support point and the limiting point of the sensor are provided. When the sensor is installed on the inclined surface, the bottom of the sensor is in close abutment with the abutting edge, so that the sensor can be quickly positioned during installation, and the efficiency and position accuracy of assembly are improved.

[0021] Further, the top surface of the cover plate is further provided with an arc-shaped convex top, which is higher than the sensor assembly position.

[0022] By adopting the above scheme, the arc-shaped convex top enhances the structural strength of the cover plate by dispersing external pressure. This design makes the cover plate more stable when facing external forces such as wind pressure and snow pressure; the streamlined arc-shaped convex top helps to reduce air resistance during vehicle driving, thereby improving fuel economy and driving stability of the vehicle.

[0023] Further, the sensor assembly position is provided with two, and is distributed on both sides of the arc-shaped convex top.

[0024] By adopting the above scheme, it is helpful to disperse the weight and vibration of the sensor, and to enhance the structural stability of the roof support, so as to ensure that the sensor can maintain stable position and performance after installation, and to avoid the risk of sensor failure due to vibration or displacement.

[0025] Further, the top surface of the cover plate is further provided with a lifting ring.

[0026] By adopting the above scheme, the roof support can be easily lifted and transported. During vehicle maintenance, maintenance or transportation, the roof support can be easily removed from the vehicle or installed back by connecting the lifting equipment with the lifting ring, thereby saving manpower and time. In addition to lifting and transporting, the lifting ring can also be used to hang other equipment or articles. For example, during outdoor exploration or long-distance travel, articles such as luggage, equipment or spare tires can be hung on the lifting ring to increase the storage space and convenience of the vehicle.

[0027] In summary, the roof support provided by the utility model has the following technical effects:

[0028] 1. The roof support is designed to be detachably connected, so that the assembly bottom plate can be easily detached from the roof assembly plate. This design feature greatly simplifies the replacement process of the sensor, and the operator can quickly replace the faulty sensor without complex disassembly of the entire sensor assembly, thereby reducing the difficulty and time cost of maintenance;

[0029] 2. Since the sensor can be replaced individually without replacing the entire sensor assembly, the material and labor costs required for maintenance are greatly reduced. In addition, the detachable design also makes the maintenance work more flexible, so that the sensor can be repaired or replaced without affecting the normal operation of other parts of the vehicle;

[0030] 3. The vehicle roof support of the present application allows the operator to flexibly adjust the sensor configuration according to actual needs, for example, in areas with dense trees, the sensor with lower sensitivity to obstructions can be replaced to improve the vehicle's perception ability and safety. This flexibility not only improves the vehicle's environmental adaptability, but also provides a strong guarantee for its safe and efficient operation in complex and variable park environments.
