Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle-mounted camera products, and in particular to a novel vehicle-mounted dual monitoring head structure. Background Technology

[0002] Vehicle-mounted cameras are widely used in various vehicles. Their uses extend beyond providing reliable evidence for traffic accident analysis and judgment; facilitating vehicle interior monitoring for drivers and passengers; providing evidence for handling passenger disputes, lost and found items, and theft prevention; and monitoring the interior and exterior environment of the vehicle to ensure safety. They are also used by operating companies for vehicle management, including driver supervision, and for real-time monitoring of data such as fuel consumption and mileage. While existing vehicle-mounted cameras offer many advantages, they still have the following shortcomings:

[0003] (1) In environments with strong light, when the camera captures and reads data from the dashboard, there will be more or less reflective areas, which will affect the data acquisition and make it impossible to obtain the electronically displayed instrument information and mileage information normally.

[0004] (2) The cameras on the market are all damped rotation adjustment structures. During long-term vehicle movement, the camera angle is prone to shift and slide, causing changes in the monitoring area.

[0005] To overcome the above problems, this solution proposes a novel vehicle-mounted dual monitoring head structure. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem that existing vehicle cameras cannot capture and read dashboard data, electronic instrument information, and mileage information in strong lighting conditions.

[0007] In addition, the camera's angle is prone to shifting and sliding, causing changes in the monitored area. The specific solution is as follows:

[0008] A novel vehicle-mounted dual monitoring head structure includes a front shell, a rear shell, and an adjustment frame. The front shell and the rear shell are equipped with a core assembly, which contains at least two types of cameras. The front shell and the rear shell are snap-fitted together, and the adjustment frame is rotatably connected to the rear shell. An adjustment mechanism is provided between one side of the adjustment frame and the adjacent side of the rear shell.

[0009] Furthermore, the camera includes a first camera and a second camera, and the front side of the front shell is provided with two horizontally connected flower windows, in which a matching lens is embedded.

[0010] Furthermore, the lens sheet has two connected lens holes, allowing the first camera and the second camera to be exposed.

[0011] Furthermore, the movement assembly includes a first circuit board assembly located at the front and a second circuit board assembly located at the rear. The first circuit board assembly and the second circuit board assembly are electrically connected and fixed to each other through a plurality of pin headers.

[0012] Furthermore, the first camera and the second camera are mounted on the first circuit board assembly, and the first camera and the second camera are equipped with different filters for capturing different targets.

[0013] Furthermore, supplementary lights are respectively provided on the first circuit board assembly on both sides of the first camera and the second camera.

[0014] Furthermore, the adjustment mechanism includes a support plate on the adjustment frame, an arc-shaped plate perpendicular to one side of the support plate, and a shaft end seat perpendicular to the lower edge of the other side of the support plate. It also includes an adjustment hole on the side of the rear shell near the arc-shaped plate and a rotating shaft extending outward from both sides of the lower rear corner of the rear shell.

[0015] Furthermore, the arc-shaped plate is provided with an arc-shaped toothed groove and a shaft hole for the nearest rotating shaft to be fitted. The groove of the arc-shaped toothed groove is matched with the adjustment hole and adjusted at any position within the groove. The other rotating shaft is fitted with the shaft end seat. The adjustment mechanism also includes an adjustment screw that passes through the arc-shaped toothed groove from the outside and enters the adjustment hole. A spring tooth is provided between the adjustment screw and the arc-shaped toothed groove. Tightening the adjustment screw will press and lock the spring tooth into the arc-shaped toothed groove.

[0016] Furthermore, a copper nut is provided in the adjustment hole, and a narrow opening is provided on the lower side of the shaft end seat for the lateral insertion of the flat block provided at the end of the shaft. The end of the shaft is also fitted with an elastic ring, and the flat block is exposed outside the elastic ring. The inlet of the shaft end seat is provided with a cavity to accommodate the elastic ring.

[0017] Furthermore, a cable outlet is provided on one side of the front and rear shells, and a USB interface is provided on the other side of the rear shell. Parallel strip-shaped mounting holes are provided on both sides of the adjustment bracket.

[0018] In summary, the technical solution of this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] This solution addresses the problems of existing vehicle cameras, such as their inability to capture and read dashboard data, electronic instrument information, and mileage information in bright sunlight, and the tendency for camera angles to shift and slide, causing changes in the monitored area. This solution employs a simple adjustment frame consisting of a support plate, an arc-shaped plate, and a shaft end seat. The arc-shaped plate has arc-shaped grooves for adjusting the angle, which, combined with adjusting screws, spring-loaded teeth, adjusting nuts on one side of the rear housing, and rotating shafts on both sides of the lower rear corner of the rear housing, allows for continuous adjustment within 90°. Once adjusted and tightened, it stably secures both the first and second cameras, preventing movement during prolonged vehicle operation. This adjustment frame is low-cost and easy to assemble and operate. Furthermore, an elastic ring is fitted onto the rotating shaft on the other side of the adjustment frame. This elastic ring offers three advantages: it acts as a shock absorber during driving, provides concentric centering for the rotating shaft on one side, and ensures that there are no gaps between the two rotating shafts on both sides of the rear housing and their corresponding holes and end seats, preventing lateral movement and preventing them from slipping out of narrow openings. The first and second cameras in this solution are equipped with different filters. The first camera captures images of the electronic display data dial with a wavelength of less than 650nm, while the second camera captures images of the physical pointer and physical dial with an infrared light band of about 940nm. This filters out the influence of reflections that prevent the camera from capturing the correct image, thereby obtaining the true and complete data of the target. Attached Figure Description

Preferably, the first camera 50 is used to capture images of the electronic display data dial and the second camera 51 is used to capture images of the physical pointer and the physical dial.

[0034] Specifically, fill lights 411 are respectively provided on the first circuit board assemblies on both sides of the first camera and the second camera.

[0035] Specifically, the adjustment mechanism includes a support plate 31 on the adjustment frame 30, an arc plate 32 perpendicular to one side of the support plate 31, and a shaft end seat 33 perpendicular to the lower edge of the other side of the support plate 31. It also includes an adjustment hole 21 on the side of the rear shell 20 near the arc plate 32 and a rotating shaft 22 extending outward from both sides of the lower rear corner of the rear shell 20.

[0036] Specifically, the arc-shaped plate 32 has an arc-shaped toothed groove 320 and a shaft hole 321 for the nearest rotating shaft 22 to be fitted. The groove 3201 of the arc-shaped toothed groove 320 matches the adjustment hole 21 and can be adjusted to any position within the groove 3201. The other rotating shaft 22 is fitted to the shaft end seat 33. The adjustment mechanism also includes an adjusting screw 34 that passes through the arc-shaped toothed groove 320 from the outside and enters the adjustment hole 21. A spring tooth 35 is provided between the adjusting screw 34 and the arc-shaped toothed groove 320.
