A protective bracket 3 is set up to cover the monitoring camera 2, preventing abnormal movement of cargo inside the cargo box 4 from causing collisions or impacts to the monitoring camera 2, thereby improving the protection of the monitoring camera 2. The cargo box internal monitoring device of this utility model effectively solves the problem in the prior art that unmanned logistics vehicles cannot monitor the environment inside the cargo box.

[0033] Optionally, the surveillance camera is a wide-angle camera, which can increase the monitoring angle of the surveillance camera.

[0034] In some embodiments, to adjust the monitoring angle of the surveillance camera 2 to the optimal angle, the mounting bracket 1 has a mounting surface 11, on which the surveillance camera 2 is mounted. The mounting surface 11 is inclined towards the ground and forms an angle A with the ground, where 55° ≤ A ≤ 65°. This configuration limits the angle between the surveillance camera 2 and the ground to the aforementioned range, ensuring the surveillance camera 2 is at the optimal monitoring angle. Preferably, the angle A between the mounting surface 11 and the ground is 60°, meaning the monitoring angle is optimal when the angle between the surveillance camera 2 and the ground is 60°. This maximizes the achievement of blind-spot-free monitoring, providing operations managers with 24 / 7 visual monitoring capabilities inside the cargo container.

[0035] Optionally, the angle A between the mounting surface 11 and the ground can be selected according to the actual site conditions. Specifically, the angle A between the mounting surface 11 and the ground can be selected as 55°, 57°, 59°, 61°, 63° or 65°, etc.

[0036] Furthermore, to enhance the monitoring of the interior of the cargo box 4, the mounting bracket 1 is installed at the top of the side door beam 5, located at the center of the cargo box 4 along its length. This allows for real-time monitoring of both sides of the interior of the cargo box 4.

[0037] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the mounting bracket 1 includes a first frame 12 and a second frame 13. The first frame 12 is connected to the side door beam 5, and the second frame 13 is connected to one side of the first frame 12. The protective bracket 3 and the monitoring camera 2 are both connected to the second frame 13, and the second frame 13 has a mounting surface 11, that is, the second frame 13 is tilted towards the ground, which facilitates the installation of the monitoring camera 2.

[0038] Optionally, the first frame 12 is L-shaped, which can match the shape of the side door beam 5 and improve the connection strength.

[0039] In this embodiment, to facilitate the installation of the protective bracket 3 and the monitoring camera 2, the second frame 13 includes a main mounting plate 131 and a first connecting plate 132 and a second connecting plate 133 connected to both sides of the main mounting plate 131. The main mounting plate 131, the first connecting plate 132, and the second connecting plate 133 are all connected to the first frame 12, thus ensuring the connection strength between the second frame 13 and the first frame 12. The first connecting plate 132 and the second connecting plate 133 are provided for easy connection to the protective bracket 3; the main mounting plate 131 is provided for easy connection to the monitoring camera 2.

[0040] like Figure 2 As shown, the main mounting plate 131 has a wire hole 1311, which allows the wiring harness of the monitoring camera 2 to pass through.

[0041] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the protective bracket 3 includes a main protective plate 31 and a first side protective plate 32 and a second side protective plate 33 connected to both sides of the main protective plate 31. The first side protective plate 32 is arbitrarily connected to a first connecting plate 132, and the second side protective plate 33 is arbitrarily connected to a second connecting plate 133. This configuration allows the position of the protective bracket 3 to be adjusted according to actual site requirements.

[0042] Optionally, the main protective plate 31 has a clearance hole 311 that avoids the camera of the surveillance camera 2.

[0043] Specifically, the internal monitoring device of the cargo box 4 includes a first fastener and a second fastener. The first side panel 32 has a first oblong hole 321 extending along its length, and the second side panel 33 has a second oblong hole 331 extending along its length. The first fastener passes through the first oblong hole 321 and is connected to the first connecting plate 132. The insertion position of the first fastener can be adjusted through the first oblong hole 321 to adjust the position of the first side panel 32 and the first connecting plate 132. Similarly, the second fastener passes through the second oblong hole 331 and is connected to the second connecting plate 133. The insertion position of the second fastener can be adjusted through the second oblong hole 331 to adjust the position of the second side panel 33 and the second connecting plate 133.

[0044] Both the first and second fasteners are bolts.

[0045] Optionally, the second frame 13 further includes a first connecting block and a second connecting block. The first connecting block is connected to the first side guard plate 32, and a first fastener passes through the first oblong hole 321 and is threadedly connected to the first connecting block. Similarly, the second connecting block is connected to the second side guard plate 33, and a second fastener passes through the second oblong hole 331 and is threadedly connected to the second connecting block. This arrangement ensures the connection strength between the first side guard plate 32 and the first connecting plate 132; similarly, it also ensures the connection strength between the second side guard plate 33 and the second connecting plate 133, and facilitates installation and disassembly.

[0046] Optionally, the monitoring device inside the cargo box has a third fastener, through which the main mounting plate 131 is connected to the monitoring camera 2. The third fastener is a bolt.

[0047] In this embodiment, the protective bracket 3 is made of low-alloy high-strength structural steel. This design ensures the structural strength of the protective bracket 3 and further improves the protective effect. The material of the protective bracket 3 includes, but is not limited to, Q355 steel.

[0048] This embodiment also provides an unmanned logistics vehicle, including the cargo box internal monitoring device described in the above-mentioned solution. Using this unmanned logistics vehicle, the mounting bracket 1 is connected to the side door beam 5 inside the cargo box 4, and is located at the top inside the cargo box 4. Simultaneously, the monitoring camera 2 is mounted on the other end of the mounting bracket 1, thus fixing the position of the monitoring camera 2. The monitoring camera 2 can monitor the cargo inside the cargo box 4 in real time. Furthermore, a protective bracket 3 is set to cover the monitoring camera 2, preventing abnormal movement of the cargo inside the cargo box 4 from causing collisions or impacts to the monitoring camera 2, thereby improving the protection of the monitoring camera 2. The unmanned logistics vehicle of this invention effectively solves the problem in the prior art that unmanned logistics vehicles cannot monitor the environment inside the cargo box.
