Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of automotive radar installation technology, specifically an automotive radar installation device. Background Technology

[0002] As a crucial sensor, automotive radar's core function is to accurately detect various objects around a vehicle using radio waves. It has become an indispensable key component of autonomous driving, driver assistance, and vehicle safety systems. Its operation is based on a sophisticated principle: by emitting radio frequency signals, these signals will be reflected when they encounter surrounding objects during their propagation. Automotive radar accurately measures the time it takes for the signal to be emitted and then return, and based on this, it cleverly calculates the distance between the object and the vehicle. At the same time, it can also determine the speed of the object based on the subtle characteristics of the signal changes.

[0003] In actual installation, automotive radar is typically installed at the front, sides, rear, and top of the vehicle to achieve all-around environmental detection. In particular, to pursue a superior detection field of view and ensure that the radar can capture information about the vehicle's surrounding environment without blind spots, a protruding installation method is usually adopted. This installation method allows the radar to minimize blind spots while the vehicle is in motion, thereby providing the driver with more timely and accurate road condition warnings. It can also effectively identify and warn of potential collision risks, blind spot vehicles, and other obstacles, significantly improving the overall performance and safety of the driver assistance system.

[0004] In the existing automotive radar installation process, bolt fixing is a common method. However, each time an automotive radar is installed, the staff needs to tighten multiple bolts one by one, which is complicated and tedious, and consumes a lot of time and energy. When it is necessary to disassemble and repair, replace parts, or upgrade the radar system, these bolts also need to be unscrewed with great effort, which is extremely inconvenient and reduces the overall work efficiency. Therefore, an automotive radar installation device is provided. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide an automotive radar mounting device in order to solve the problems mentioned above.

[0007] The fixing mechanism includes a connecting housing, a rectangular plate, a rectangular protrusion, a U-shaped block, and a spring. Connecting housings are fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the mounting housing, and rectangular plates are provided inside the connecting housings. A rectangular protrusion is fixedly installed on the side of the rectangular plate near the mounting housing, and one end of the rectangular protrusion extends into the interior of the mounting housing. A U-shaped block is movably inserted on the side of the connecting housing away from the mounting housing, and one end of the U-shaped block is fixed to one side of the rectangular plate. A spring is fixedly installed on one side of the rectangular plate near the middle, and the end of the spring away from the rectangular plate contacts the inner wall of the connecting housing.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, a plurality of positioning posts are fixedly installed inside the mounting housing near the corners, and a plurality of positioning holes corresponding to the positioning posts are provided on the mounting plate near the corners.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, two buffer pads are fixedly installed on the inner sidewall of the mounting housing.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, a sealing plate is fixedly installed on the front side of the car bumper by bolts, and a transparent protective cover is fixedly installed on the front side of the sealing plate.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, a socket connector is fixedly mounted on the inner sidewall of the mounting housing.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the rectangular protrusion extends into the interior of the mounting housing and is provided with an arc-shaped transition surface at one end.

[0013] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this application are:

[0014] 1. In this application, due to the adoption of the above-mentioned solution, the user first pushes the mounting plate into the mounting housing. One side of the mounting plate will contact the arc-shaped transition surface of the rectangular protrusion. Under the squeezing force of the mounting plate, the rectangular protrusion enters the connecting housing. After the mounting plate is fully inserted into the mounting housing and contacts the buffer pad, the rectangular protrusion is reset under the rebound force of the spring, thereby achieving the limiting and fixing of the mounting plate, which facilitates the installation and fixing of the car radar. When disassembling, it is only necessary to pull the U-shaped block to make the rectangular protrusion re-enter the connecting housing, thereby improving the efficiency of car radar installation and disassembly.
