[0022] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0023] Please refer to Figures 1-4 The present application provides the following technical solutions: a safety protection device for automatic driving, comprising a double-head laser radar 1, one side strip 2 is welded to the bottom of each side of the double-head laser radar 1, one guide column 3 is movably inserted into the through hole on each side of the side strip 2, and the bottom of the guide column 3 is fixedly installed on the surface of a mounting plate 4;
[0024] When in use, the side strip 2 is installed on the mounting plate 4 through the guide column 3 and the screw rod 6, then the mounting plate 4 is connected to the front anti-collision beam of the automobile by means of bonding or bolt connection. Thus, the double-head laser radar 1 can be installed on the automobile, and then the double-head laser radar 1 is connected to the AEB controller.
[0025] The double-head laser radar 1 obtains the distance, speed and angle information of the target object by emitting and receiving electromagnetic waves when the vehicle is driving; then transmits to the AEB controller, the AEB controller processes the sensor data, combines the current speed, acceleration and other information of the vehicle, calculates the predicted collision time and safe braking distance, and according to the calculation result, the AEB controller issues instructions to the actuator. The actuator is usually an electronic stability system, which releases the pressure in the pump to the brake pipeline to push the friction plate to complete the braking action to avoid or reduce the collision, thereby making the automatic driving of the automobile more safe.
[0026] The center end of the mounting plate 4 is provided with an arch piece 5, and the arch piece 5 is made of rubber material. The side surface of the arch piece 5 is in a "C" shape structure.
[0027] The outer wall of the center part of the arch piece 5 abuts against the bottom of the double-head laser radar 1. A screw rod 6 is movably inserted into the through hole in the middle line end of the side strip 2. The bottom of the screw rod 6 is fixedly installed on the surface of the mounting plate 4. A nut 7 is threadedly installed on the screw rod 6 at the upper end of the surface of the side strip 2. The maximum diameter of the nut 7 is greater than the diameter of the through hole in the side strip 2.
[0028] Preferably, two protrusions 21 are symmetrically fixedly installed on the surface of the side strip 2. The protrusions 21 and the through holes in the side strip 2 are located at the transverse middle line position of the side strip 2.
[0029] A pressing piece 22 is arranged between the two protrusions 21. Two notches 220 are respectively formed at the two ends of the pressing piece 22. Each notch 220 is clamped with a pressing piece 22. Three round holes are formed in the pressing piece 22.
[0030] In specific use, when the nut 7 moves downward on the screw rod 6, the nut 7 will extrude the pressing piece 22. At the same time, the pressing piece 22 can prevent the nut 7 from rotating by the butt joint between the notches 220 on the two sides and the corresponding protrusions 21, so as to stably press the side strip 2 to move downward.
[0031] Preferably, the guide column 3 and the screw rod 6 respectively penetrate the corresponding round holes in the pressing piece 22. The bottom of the nut 7 is extruded on the surface of the center end round hole of the pressing piece 22.
[0032] Preferably, a limiting piece 32 is fixedly installed at the top of the guide column 3. A first spring 31 is sleeved on the outer wall of the guide column 3 between the bottom of the limiting piece 32 and the surface of the pressing piece 22.
[0033] A second spring 61 is sleeved on the outer wall of the screw rod 6 between the bottom of the side strip 2 and the surface of the mounting plate 4.
[0034] In specific use, when the side strip 2 moves downward, the second spring 61 is pressed, so that the side strip 2 can move downward along the track of the guide column 3 and the screw rod 6, thereby driving the double-head laser radar 1 to move downward, and the mounting height of the double-head laser radar 1 can be adjusted through the structure in use.
[0035] In use, the mounting plate 4 is first stably mounted on the bumper at the front end of the automobile. When vibration inevitably occurs during the driving of the vehicle, the double-head laser radar 1 mounted thereon will vibrate up and down. The vibration process will press the first spring 31 and the second spring 61. Due to the elastic properties of the first spring 31 and the second spring 61, they can effectively absorb and weaken most of the vibration force brought by the driving of the vehicle, thereby providing a relatively stable operating environment for the double-head laser radar 1.
[0036] Moreover, the bottom of the double-head laser radar 1 is also provided with the arch piece 5, which further enhances the damping effect. The arch piece 5 can absorb and disperse the reciprocating energy generated by the first spring 31 and the second spring 61 during the vibration process, greatly reducing the reciprocating vibration phenomenon of the spring system itself, thereby further improving the overall damping performance.
[0037] Through the above structure, the two sides of the side strip 2 can realize the damping function. This not only ensures that the double-head laser radar 1 can maintain high stability and precision in complex and changeable driving environments, but more importantly, it effectively prevents potential damage to the internal precision electronic elements of the double-head laser radar 1 caused by excessive vibration, thereby prolonging the service life of the equipment.
[0038] Finally, it should be pointed out that the above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent replacements to some technical features. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
