Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a structure for an electronic rearview mirror camera suitable for aftermarket installation in commercial vehicles, belonging to the field of structural design of electronic rearview mirrors for commercial vehicles. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of automotive technology, electronic rearview mirrors have become a growing trend, replacing physical rearview mirrors. In July 2023, GB15084 officially came into effect, allowing electronic rearview mirrors on Chinese roads. This prompted major automakers to incorporate electronic rearview mirrors into their newly released models to enhance product appeal. In the commercial vehicle sector, electronic rearview mirrors offer significant advantages over traditional exterior rearview mirrors in specific conditions such as wind resistance, fuel consumption, blind spots, and night vision.

[0003] However, the application of electronic rearview mirrors in commercial vehicles currently faces numerous problems. On the one hand, the number of commercial vehicle models equipped with electronic rearview mirrors on the market is limited, mostly deployed on newly released new energy electric vehicles or gas-powered vehicles, with only a few dozen to a few hundred units available for market testing. Furthermore, the high cost of manufacturing these vehicles leads to low customer acceptance. On the other hand, the installation of electronic rearview mirrors requires pre-planning in the vehicle design, necessitating the separate development of vehicle molds and resulting in poor versatility, severely hindering the promotion of electronic rearview mirrors in the commercial vehicle market. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this invention provides an electronic rearview mirror camera structure suitable for aftermarket installation in commercial vehicles. This invention enables rapid adaptation to various commercial vehicle models, significantly reducing modification complexity and cost. Furthermore, this invention improves the stability, waterproofness, and ease of maintenance of the camera structure.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows: a structure for an electronic rearview mirror camera suitable for aftermarket installation on commercial vehicles, comprising a general-purpose camera body component and a transition component conforming to the vehicle body; the general-purpose camera body component includes a camera arm cover, a camera bracket, a camera, a camera arm, a camera mount, a locking pin, and a camera mount cover; the camera and camera bracket are connected by screws and then assembled onto the camera arm, and the camera arm and camera mount are connected by a locking pin; the camera arm cover and camera mount cover are fastened onto the assembled camera arm and camera mount; the transition component includes a transition plate matching the shape of the commercial vehicle body, which is fixedly connected to the commercial vehicle body by screws, and double-sided adhesive, wire harness cotton, and waterproof cotton are provided between the contact surfaces of the transition plate and the commercial vehicle body.

[0006] Furthermore, the camera arm cover covers the camera arm, and the camera mount cover covers the connection between the camera mount and the transition plate.

[0007] Moreover, the double-sided adhesive is a single-piece structure that covers the bonding surface between the transition plate and the vehicle body, making the electronic rearview mirror camera structure suitable for different commercial vehicle models.

[0008] Furthermore, the shape of the mating surface of the transition plate is adapted to the body contour of the target vehicle to achieve universal installation for different vehicle models.

[0009] Furthermore, the camera body's common components are connected to the transition plate via three nuts.

[0010] As can be seen from the above technical solution, the low-temperature heated display screen structure for electronic rearview mirrors provided by this utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0011] (1) The technical solution adopted in this utility model divides the structure into a universal camera body component and a transition component for the conformal body, thereby achieving standardized production of the core components. The universal camera body component can be used across different vehicle models, and only the shape of the transition plate needs to be adjusted for different vehicle models, which greatly reduces the development and manufacturing costs and solves the drawback of the traditional solution that requires customization of the overall structure for each vehicle model.

[0012] (2) The technical solution adopted in this utility model uses a composite sealing structure of double-sided adhesive, wire harness cotton and waterproof cotton to form multiple protective barriers on the surface where the transition plate and the vehicle body meet, effectively isolating moisture, dust and vibration from corroding the internal electronic components. At the same time, the snap-fit ​​design of the camera arm cover and the support cover further enhances the protection level of key connection parts and extends the service life of the equipment.

[0013] (3) In the technical solution adopted by this utility model, the transition plate adapts to the contour of the vehicle body by fitting the shape of the bonding surface, and with the full coverage of the whole plate double-sided adhesive, it can achieve a tight fit with different vehicle body without complicated positioning. The camera body universal parts are fixed to the transition plate by three-point nut connection, which simplifies the installation process and significantly improves the efficiency of aftermarket installation, especially suitable for the modification of commercial vehicles.

[0014] (4) The combination design of locking pin connection and screw assembly in the technical solution adopted by this utility model ensures the stability of the connection between the support arm and the support, while allowing for quick disassembly and replacement of damaged parts. The modular split structure reduces the impact of a single component failure on the overall system. During maintenance, only the corresponding module needs to be replaced, without the need for overall disassembly, which greatly reduces maintenance costs.

[0015] (5) The technical solution adopted in this utility model reduces the types of customized parts, requiring only the adaptation and adjustment of the transition plate, thus achieving cost reduction through large-scale production. In addition, the double-sided adhesive fixing method also reduces the process cost of vehicle body drilling modification, comprehensively improving the product's market competitiveness.
