TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to vehicle-mounted lens technical field especially relates to a stable vehicle-mounted heating lens. BACKGROUND
[0002] The existing heating module is usually arranged on the surface of the lens compression ring. Although this design is relatively simple in structure, it has significant efficiency and performance problems. First, heat needs to be conducted through the two components of the compression ring and the lens, which inevitably causes heat loss during transmission, thereby reducing the overall heating efficiency. Second, the limited contact area between the heating module and the lens makes the heat distribution uneven, which easily causes inconsistency in the heating effect of the lens surface. This unevenness will directly affect the deicing, frost, and fog removal effect, and thus affect the optical performance and user experience of the lens.
[0003] In addition, the existing scheme also has hidden dangers in the way of directly pasting heating sheets on the surface of the lens barrel. The bonding strength between the heating sheet and the lens barrel may not be sufficient, and the heating sheet may shift or fall off due to the repeated effects of thermal expansion and contraction during long-term use. This phenomenon not only reduces the stability of heating, but also threatens the reliability of the device, increases maintenance costs and use risks. Therefore, optimizing the arrangement and fixation scheme of the heating module is of great significance to improving the heating efficiency, uniformity, and long-term stability. SUMMARY
[0004] Therefore, the utility model discloses a stable vehicle-mounted heating lens, which is installed on the side surface of the lens barrel, greatly improves the portability of the lens heating module installation, and fixes the heating module and the lens barrel through the fastening ring that can be quickly assembled and disassembled, greatly improves the stability and heating efficiency of the heating module.
[0005] According to one aspect of the utility model, a stable vehicle-mounted heating lens is provided, which includes: a lens group containing at least a first lens;
[0006] a lens barrel provided with a cavity for accommodating the lens group; the lens barrel is provided with an annular groove on the outer side wall surface of the lens group middle section area, and the bottom of the annular groove contains a connecting surface; and
[0007] a heating assembly containing a flexible heating sheet and an electrical connection part for supplying power to the flexible heating sheet, the flexible heating sheet being arranged on the connecting surface;

[0009] In the above technical solution, by optimizing the arrangement and fixing method of the heating assembly, the heating efficiency, uniformity and long-term stability are significantly improved. The flexible heating sheet directly fits the bottom of the annular groove of the outer lateral wall of the lens barrel, reducing the heat transfer path and improving the heating efficiency, while ensuring uniform heat distribution, effectively solving the problem of uneven heating caused by limited contact area in traditional solutions. In addition, the mechanical fixing design of the buckle (including the connecting part of the fastening ring and the open end) avoids the loosening or falling off of the heating sheet due to thermal expansion and contraction, ensuring the reliability of long-term use. The embedded design also makes the overall structure of the lens more compact, suitable for space-limited environments such as vehicle-mounted. This design not only improves the effect of ice, frost and fog removal, but also enhances the durability and practicality of the system, with high market potential.
[0010] In some embodiments, the fastening ring is made of copper.
[0011] In the above technical solution, the high thermal conductivity of copper can ensure efficient heat transfer to the environment where the lens is located, reducing heat loss and improving heating efficiency; its corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance allow it to work stably in complex environments (such as vehicle-mounted high temperature and humid environments) for a long time; the excellent mechanical properties and plasticity of copper material enable it to adapt to complex machining requirements, while maintaining the fastening effect in the environment of thermal expansion and contraction, avoiding the loosening or falling off of the heating sheet. This design not only enhances the reliability of the system, but also improves the heating uniformity and overall performance, making it particularly suitable for vehicle-mounted heating lens applications.
[0012] In some embodiments, the fastening ring and the buckle are filled with stainless steel foil.
[0013] In the above technical solution, filling with stainless steel foil can effectively block the transfer of heat to the buckle, reducing heat loss. At the same time, the corrosion resistance and mechanical stability of the stainless steel foil allow it to work stably in complex environments (such as high temperature and humid vehicle-mounted environments) for a long time, ensuring the reliability of the system under thermal expansion and contraction conditions.
[0014] In some embodiments, the flexible heating sheet and the connecting surface are filled with a thermally conductive phase change adhesive sheet.
[0015] In the above technical solution, the high thermal conductivity and phase change characteristics of the thermally conductive phase change adhesive sheet effectively improve the heat transfer efficiency, while ensuring the closer contact between the flexible heating sheet and the lens barrel, reducing thermal resistance. The thermally conductive phase change adhesive sheet can absorb or release latent heat during the heating process, acting as a temperature regulator to make the heat distribution more uniform, thereby improving the heating efficiency and uniformity. In addition, the flexibility and adhesion of the phase change adhesive sheet can also adapt to the changes of thermal expansion and contraction, ensuring the stability and reliability in long-term use, making it suitable for complex environments such as vehicle-mounted heating lenses.

This ratio relationship enables the buckle to effectively adapt to the changes of thermal expansion and cold contraction during installation and use, avoiding the loosening or excessive compression of the heating sheet caused by the buckle being too wide or too narrow. And the heat-conducting phase-change film helps to expel air from the edge gap between the buckle and the groove during the phase change, reducing thermal resistance.
[0018] In some embodiments, the filling width of the heat-conducting phase-change film along the optical axis direction is greater than or equal to the width of the flexible heating sheet along the optical axis direction.
[0019] In the above technical solution, it is ensured that the heat-conducting phase-change film can completely cover the flexible heating sheet and extend to the edge thereof, thereby realizing efficient heat transfer and uniform distribution. The high thermal conductivity of the heat-conducting phase-change film can quickly transfer the heat generated by the heating sheet to the lens barrel, reducing thermal resistance and improving heating efficiency.

In addition, the filling width of the heat-conducting phase-change film being greater than or equal to the width of the heating sheet also ensures the close fit between the two, reduces heat loss, adapts to the changes of thermal expansion and cold contraction, ensures the stability and reliability in long-term use, is suitable for complex environments such as vehicle-mounted heating lenses, and can significantly improve the heating performance and system stability.

[0031] In this embodiment, by optimizing the arrangement and fixation of the heating assembly, the heating efficiency, uniformity and long-term stability are significantly improved. The flexible heating sheet directly adheres to the bottom of the annular groove of the outer lateral wall of the lens barrel, reducing the heat transfer path and improving the heating efficiency, while ensuring uniform heat distribution, effectively solving the problem of uneven heating caused by limited contact area in traditional solutions. In addition, the mechanical fixation design of the buckle (including the fastening ring and the connecting part of the open end) avoids the loosening or falling off of the heating sheet due to thermal expansion and contraction, ensuring the reliability of long-term use. The embedded design also makes the overall structure of the lens more compact, suitable for space-limited environments such as vehicle-mounted. This design not only improves the effect of ice, frost and fog removal, but also enhances the durability and practicality of the system, with high market potential.
[0032] In this embodiment, the fastening ring 61 is made of copper. The high thermal conductivity of copper can ensure efficient heat transfer to the environment where the lens is located, reducing heat loss and improving heating efficiency; its corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance allow it to work stably in complex environments (such as vehicle-mounted high temperature and humid environment) for a long time; the excellent mechanical properties and plasticity of copper material can adapt to complex mechanical processing requirements, while maintaining the fastening effect in the environment of thermal expansion and contraction, avoiding the loosening or falling off of the heating sheet. This design not only enhances the reliability of the system, but also improves the heating uniformity and overall performance, especially suitable for vehicle-mounted heating lens application scenarios.
[0033] In this embodiment, the fastening ring 61 and the buckle 51 are filled with stainless steel foil. Filling with stainless steel foil can effectively block the transfer of heat to the buckle, reducing heat loss. At the same time, the corrosion resistance and mechanical stability of the stainless steel foil allow it to work stably in complex environments (such as high temperature and humid vehicle-mounted environment) for a long time, ensuring the reliability of the system under the condition of thermal expansion and contraction.
[0034] In this embodiment, the flexible heating sheet 51 and the connecting surface 411 are filled with a thermally conductive phase change film. By utilizing the high thermal conductivity and phase change characteristics of the thermally conductive phase change film, the heat transfer efficiency is effectively improved, while ensuring that the contact between the flexible heating sheet and the lens barrel is more tight, reducing thermal resistance. The thermally conductive phase change film can absorb or release latent heat during the heating process, acting as a temperature regulator, making the heat distribution more uniform, thereby improving the heating efficiency and uniformity. In addition, the flexibility and adhesion of the phase change film can also adapt to the changes of thermal expansion and contraction, ensuring the stability and reliability in long-term use, suitable for complex environments such as vehicle-mounted heating lenses.

By controlling the ratio of the width of the buckle to the width of the groove, it is ensured that the buckle can provide sufficient mechanical support when fixing the flexible heating sheet, and it will not excessively occupy the groove space, so as to ensure the close fit between the heating sheet and the lens barrel. This ratio relationship enables the buckle to effectively adapt to the changes of thermal expansion and cold contraction during installation and use, avoiding the loosening or excessive extrusion of the heating sheet caused by the buckle being too wide or too narrow. And the heat-conducting phase change film helps to expel air from the edge gap between the buckle and the groove during the phase change, reducing thermal resistance.

It is ensured that the heat-conducting phase change film can completely cover the flexible heating sheet and extend to the edge thereof, so as to realize efficient heat transfer and uniform distribution. The high thermal conductivity of the heat-conducting phase change film can quickly transfer the heat generated by the heating sheet to the lens barrel, reduce thermal resistance, and improve heating efficiency. At the same time, its phase change characteristic can absorb or release latent heat when the temperature changes, play a temperature regulating role, maintain the relative stability of the surface temperature of the lens barrel, and effectively prevent condensation or frosting problems caused by temperature fluctuations. In addition, the filling width of the heat-conducting phase change film is greater than or equal to the width of the heating sheet, which can also ensure the close fit between the two, reduce heat loss, adapt to the changes of thermal expansion and cold contraction, ensure the stability and reliability in long-term use, and is suitable for complex environments such as vehicle-mounted heating lenses, can significantly improve the heating performance and system stability.
