Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive probe technology, specifically to an automotive probe cover structure. Background Technology

[0002] In today's automotive industry, intelligence and safety have become two core development directions. As autonomous driving technology gradually advances from L1 to L5, the application of various sensors, such as cameras, millimeter-wave radar, and ultrasonic radar, in automobiles is becoming increasingly widespread and crucial. These sensors act as the "eyes" and "ears" of the car, accurately perceiving information about the vehicle's surrounding environment and providing data support for the vehicle's autonomous driving and intelligent assisted driving functions. For example, in functions such as adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, and blind spot monitoring, sensors need to detect the position and speed of surrounding vehicles, pedestrians, and obstacles in real time and with high accuracy. As a key component protecting the sensors, the structural performance of the automotive sensor cover directly affects the sensor's working effect, and thus relates to the improvement of the overall vehicle's intelligence and safety level.

[0003] Automotive sensor covers offer insufficient protection against complex external environments. During daily driving, vehicles may encounter situations such as flying stones, sand and dust erosion, and rain impact. Sensor covers made of ordinary materials are easily scratched by stones, and scratches not only affect the appearance but may also cause abnormal light refraction, interfering with the imaging quality of optical sensors such as cameras. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a car probe cover structure that has the advantage of quick replacement of the probe cover observation part, and solves the problem that scratches on current car probe covers affect aesthetics and interfere with imaging quality.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a car probe cover structure, comprising: a fitting mechanism, wherein the fitting mechanism includes a housing;

[0006] A closing mechanism, the closing mechanism including a shell, one end of the shell being sleeved onto one end of a housing;

[0007] Several limiting mechanisms are provided, each of which includes a long column. One end of the long column is attached to the side of the outer shell facing the shell, and the other end slides into the shell and extends out of the shell away from the shell. A groove is provided on the outer side of the end of the long column away from the shell. The groove is connected to the outer side of the long column, and a spring plate is inclinedly arranged in the groove. A limiting block is constructed on the end of the spring plate away from the shell.

[0008] Preferably, the housing has four heat dissipation slots inside, and the outer edge of the housing facing the outer shell has a fitting groove for the outer shell to fit into.

[0009] Preferably, the outer edge of the fitting groove is attached to the inner edge of the outer shell, and a sealing groove is provided in the fitting groove. A rubber ring is fitted in the sealing groove, with one side of the rubber ring embedded in the fitting groove and the other side embedded in the outer shell.

[0010] Preferably, a protective corner is provided on the side of the outer edge of the outer shell away from the shell, and an observation plate is provided inside the outer shell.

[0011] Preferably, four limiting mechanisms are provided, each of the long columns is provided with limiting strips on both sides, and a spring is provided at the bottom of the end of the spring plate away from the outer shell. The bottom end of the spring is fixedly connected to the groove, and the top end is fixedly connected to the spring plate.

[0012] Preferably, the vertical cross-section of the limiting block is fan-shaped, with the arc surface of the fan facing the direction of travel of the long column, and a pressing plate is provided at the end of the limiting block away from the outer shell.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] 1. This utility model, by setting up a shell, outer shell, observation plate, long column, groove, spring plate, limiting block, pressing plate and spring, fixes the shell and heat dissipation groove by the long column sliding through the shell at one end and the limiting block at one end of the spring plate fitting against the side of the shell. During disassembly, pressing the pressing plate presses the spring plate and limiting block into the groove, releasing the fixation between the shell and the outer shell. This allows for quick fixation between the shell and the outer shell. It also allows for quick replacement of the outer shell when the protective corner is scratched, facilitating later maintenance of the car probe cover without replacing the entire probe cover, thus saving maintenance costs.

[0015] 2. This utility model improves the sealing performance of the car probe cover by setting an interlocking groove, a sealing groove, a rubber ring, and a shell. The shell is embedded in the interlocking groove, and the sealing groove is opened in the interlocking groove for the rubber ring to be embedded, forming a waterproof step, which can effectively protect the car probe inside the probe cover.
