Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle technology, and in particular to a camera, a vehicle body, and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the placement of cameras affects functions such as automatic parking and automatic obstacle avoidance. However, some vehicles are small in size, making it difficult to place cameras in suitable locations. In related technologies, the camera body is waterproof, but the area between the lens and the vehicle body is not. When it rains or the car is washed, water can enter the vehicle through the space between the lens and the body, which can affect the vehicle's controllers and wiring harnesses. If the camera is placed on the bumper where the controllers and wiring harnesses are located, the camera will be too low, and mud and water will easily adhere to the camera surface, potentially failing to meet vehicle collision requirements.

[0045] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. The embodiments described with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary. The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below.

[0046] The following is for reference. Figures 1-15 A camera 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described, which is applied in a vehicle.

[0047] like Figures 1-10 , Figure 12 and Figure 13As shown, the camera 100 according to the present invention includes: a housing 110 and a waterproof seal 120. The waterproof seal 120 is disposed on the housing 110 and protrudes at least partially from the surface of the housing 110, so as to be able to seal with the vehicle body trim panel 200.

[0048] It is understood that the housing 110 and the waterproof seal 120 constitute the main structure of the camera 100. The waterproof seal 120 is located on the outer periphery of the housing 110, which not only facilitates the installation of the waterproof seal 120 on the housing 110, but also allows the outer periphery of the waterproof seal 120 to protrude from the outer periphery surface of the housing 110. When the camera 100 is installed on the vehicle body, the waterproof seal 120 and the vehicle body trim panel 200 are in a positive and side pressure sealing cooperation. This allows the waterproof seal 120 to block mud and water from the vehicle's outer periphery, thereby preventing mud and water from entering the vehicle interior from between the camera 100 and the vehicle body trim panel 200, and from damaging the controller and wiring harness. Therefore, the camera 100 can be placed at a higher position on the vehicle body, thereby improving the placement flexibility, placement range and reliability of the camera 100, and meeting the vehicle's collision requirements.

[0049] For example, the waterproof seal 120 is a silicone or rubber part with a hardness of 45-60 degrees. This not only ensures the strength of the waterproof seal 120, but also its flexibility. This ensures the sealing effect of the waterproof seal 120 on the gap between the camera 100 and the vehicle body trim panel 200. This prevents mud and water from the outside of the vehicle from entering the vehicle and damaging the controller and display. It also improves the flexibility, range and reliability of the camera 100's placement.

[0050] The housing 110 is made of aluminum alloy, which enables the housing 110 to be lightweight, has good corrosion resistance, and is easy to process, thereby saving labor costs and extending the service life of the housing 110.

[0051] Therefore, by providing a waterproof seal 120 on the surface of the housing 110, and with a portion of the waterproof seal 120 protruding from the surface of the housing 110, a sealed fit can be made between the housing 110 and the vehicle body trim panel 200. The camera 100 can be positioned at a higher position on the vehicle body, and the sealed fit between the camera 100 and the vehicle body trim panel 200 can be achieved. This expands the placement position of the camera 100 and ensures that mud and water cannot enter the vehicle interior from between the camera 100 and the vehicle body trim panel 200, thereby protecting the controller and wiring harness in the vehicle and meeting the vehicle's collision requirements.

[0052] Among them, such as Figures 1-6As shown, an annular mounting groove 111 is provided on the outer periphery of the housing 110. The mounting groove 111 is provided with an opening facing the radial outer side of the housing 110, and the waterproof seal 120 is installed in the mounting groove 111.

[0053] It is understood that the outer peripheral surface of the housing 110 forms a mounting groove 111, which opens radially outward toward the housing 110. This allows the housing 110 to have an "I"-shaped cross-section in the length direction. The mounting groove 111 can limit the waterproof seal 120, thus facilitating its placement on the housing 110. Furthermore, the depth of the mounting groove 111 allows the outer periphery of the waterproof seal 120 to protrude beyond the outer peripheral surface of the housing 110. When the camera 100 is installed on the vehicle body, the waterproof seal 120 and the vehicle body trim panel 200 are in a positive and side-pressure sealing fit. This allows the waterproof seal 120 to block mud and water from the vehicle's periphery, preventing mud and water from entering the vehicle interior between the camera 100 and the vehicle body trim panel 200, and preventing damage to the controller and wiring harness. Therefore, the camera 100 can be positioned higher on the vehicle body, thereby improving the camera 100's placement flexibility, placement range, and reliability, and meeting vehicle collision requirements.

[0054] In addition, such as Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, the outer peripheral surface of the waterproof seal 120 is provided with at least one annular rib 121, and the at least one rib 121 is located at least partially outside the mounting groove 111.

[0055] In other words, at least one rib 121 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the waterproof seal 120. Part of the rib 121 is located in the mounting groove 111, and another part protrudes from the mounting groove 111. Two or more ribs 121 are arranged circumferentially along the waterproof seal 120, that is, two or more ribs 121 are arranged axially on the camera 100, and the outer peripheral surface of the rib 121 protrudes from the mounting groove 111. This allows the multiple ribs 121 to position the camera 100 and fill the gap between the camera 100 and the body trim panel 200, thereby facilitating the installation of the camera 100 in the body trim panel 200 and ensuring the sealing between the camera 100 and the body trim panel 200. This can improve the assembly efficiency of the whole vehicle and expand the installation position of the camera 100.

[0056] In addition, such as Figure 2 and Figure 7As shown, there are multiple ribs 121, which are spaced apart along the axial direction of the camera 100. This not only allows the multiple ribs 121 to position the camera 100, but also allows them to fill the gap between the camera 100 and the vehicle body trim panel 200. If one of the ribs 121 is damaged, the remaining ribs 121 can still position and fill the gap, thus ensuring the sealing between the camera 100 and the vehicle body trim panel 200.

[0057] Optionally, such as Figures 1-6 As shown, the outer peripheral surface of the waterproof seal 120 is either an arc-shaped surface or a flat surface, and the outer peripheral surface of the waterproof seal 120 is located outside the mounting groove 111.

[0058] It is understood that the outer peripheral surface of the waterproof seal 120 is set as an arc-shaped surface or a flat surface, that is, the cross-section of the outer surface of the waterproof seal 120 is circular or rectangular. Moreover, a part of the waterproof seal 120 is located in the mounting groove 111, and the other part of the outer surface protrudes from the outer peripheral surface of the housing 110. When the camera 100 is installed on the vehicle body, the outer peripheral surface of the waterproof seal 120 contacts the vehicle body trim panel 200. The waterproof seal 120 and the vehicle body trim panel 200 are in a positive pressure and side pressure sealing fit, which can fill the gap between the camera 100 and the vehicle body trim panel 200. This allows the waterproof seal 120 to block mud and water from the vehicle's periphery, thereby preventing mud and water from entering the vehicle interior from between the camera 100 and the vehicle body trim panel 200, and from damaging the controller and wiring harness. Therefore, the camera 100 can be arranged in a higher position on the vehicle body, thereby improving the arrangement flexibility, arrangement range and reliability of the camera 100, and meeting the vehicle's collision requirements. For example, there may be one or two waterproof seals 120, with the two waterproof seals 120 spaced apart in the axial direction of the housing 110, so that the waterproof seals 120 can block mud and water from the outer periphery of the vehicle.

[0059] In addition, such as Figures 1-10 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, the camera 100 also includes a lens 130, which is disposed at one end of the housing 110. A stepped surface 113 is formed on the outer periphery of the housing 110, and a waterproof seal 120 is disposed on the side of the stepped surface 113 facing the lens 130.

[0060] In other words, the lens 130 is located at one end of the housing 110, that is, after the camera 100 is installed on the body trim panel 200, the lens 130 faces outwards, and the outer periphery of the housing 110 forms a stepped surface 113. This stepped surface 113 is one side surface of the housing 110. The stepped surface 113 can limit the waterproof seal 120, thereby facilitating the placement of the waterproof seal 120 on the outer periphery surface of the housing 110. Moreover, the waterproof seal 120 is close to the lens 130, so that the camera 100 can be installed after the body trim panel 200, and the waterproof seal 120 is located at the end of the camera 100 facing outwards. This allows the waterproof seal 120 to block mud and water from the vehicle's periphery, thereby preventing mud and water from entering the vehicle interior from between the camera 100 and the body trim panel 200, and from damaging the controller and wiring harness. Therefore, the camera 100 can be placed at a higher position on the vehicle body, thereby improving the placement flexibility, placement range and reliability of the camera 100, and meeting the vehicle's collision requirements.

[0061] like Figures 7-10 , Figure 12 , Figure 13 and Figure 15 As shown, the vehicle body according to this utility model includes: a vehicle body trim panel 200 and a camera 100 as described in the above embodiment. The vehicle body trim panel 200 is provided with a through hole 210, the housing 110 passes through the through hole 210, and the waterproof sealant 120 is sealed and fitted with the vehicle body trim panel 200.

[0062] Understandably, a through hole 210 is provided on the body trim panel 200, and the housing 110 passes through the through hole 210, allowing the camera 100 to be mounted on the body trim panel 200. A waterproof seal 120 is located between the housing 110 and the body mounting plate, sealing the gap between them. This allows the camera 100 to be positioned higher on the vehicle body and ensures a sealed fit between the camera 100 and the body trim panel 200. This expands the possible placement options for the camera 100 and prevents mud and water from entering the vehicle interior between the camera 100 and the body trim panel 200, thus protecting the vehicle's controllers and wiring harnesses and meeting collision requirements. For example, the body trim panel 200 can be a tailgate, grille, or trim panel, further enhancing the flexibility, range, and reliability of the camera 100's placement and ensuring it meets collision requirements.

[0063] Optionally, the interference between the waterproof seal 120 and the wall of the through hole 210 is denoted as a, where a satisfies the relationship: 0.2mm≤a≤1mm.

[0064] In other words, the interference between the waterproof seal 120 and the wall of the through hole 210 must be within a reasonable range. If the interference is less than 0.2mm, the sealing pressure between them will be too low, resulting in a gap between the camera 100 and the through hole 210, allowing mud and water to flow into the vehicle. If the interference is greater than 1mm, the seal 120 will be over-compressed. This can lead to permanent deformation of the waterproof seal 120, increase the difficulty of assembling the camera 100 and the vehicle body trim panel 200, and further damage the outer peripheral surface of the waterproof seal 120. If the interference between the waterproof seal 120 and the wall of the through hole 210 is within a reasonable range, it can not only ensure the sealing pressure between the waterproof seal 120 and the wall of the through hole 210, but also prevent the waterproof seal 120 from being over-compressed, thereby ensuring the sealing effect of the waterproof seal 120 and facilitating the installation of the camera 100 in the vehicle body trim panel 200. For example, 'a' can be 0.2mm, 0.3mm, or 0.4mm, and the specific value can be selected according to the actual situation.

[0065] In addition, such as Figures 7-10 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, the inner wall of the through hole 210 is provided with an annular limiting groove 211, and a part of the waterproof seal 120 is provided in the limiting groove 211 and is sealed with the outer peripheral wall of the limiting groove 211.

[0066] It is understandable that the inner wall of the through hole 210 is provided with a limiting groove 211, and the limiting groove 211 is an annular groove. After the camera 100 is installed in the through hole 210, a part of the waterproof seal 120 is located in the limiting groove 211. The edge of the waterproof seal 120 is sealed and engaged with the outer peripheral wall of the limiting groove 211. This allows the limiting groove 211 to limit the waterproof seal 120, thereby facilitating the installation of the camera 100 in the body trim panel 200. It also ensures that the camera 100 does not become eccentric or wobble relative to the through hole 210, thus ensuring the stability of the camera 100 and the sealing between the camera 100 and the body trim panel 200.

[0067] In addition, such as Figures 10-13 As shown, the vehicle body trim panel 200 includes: a trim main panel 220 and a mounting base 230. The mounting base 230 is disposed on the trim main panel 220 and protrudes from the trim main panel 220. The mounting base 230 is provided with a through hole 210.

[0068] In other words, the decorative main board 220 and the mounting base 230 constitute the main structure of the vehicle body decorative panel 200. The mounting base 230 is set on the decorative main board 220 and protrudes from the decorative main board 220. A through hole 210 is formed on the mounting base 230, so that the through hole 210 faces outward. The through hole 210 can limit the camera 100. The limiting groove 211 formed on the through hole 210 is sealed and matched with the waterproof seal 120, which facilitates the installation of the camera 100 in the through hole 210 and ensures the sealing between the camera 100 and the decorative main board 220. This can improve the flexibility, range and reliability of the camera 100's arrangement and meet the vehicle's collision requirements.

[0069] Among them, such as Figures 11-14 As shown, the mounting base 230 is provided with a first positioning part 231 on the outer periphery of the housing 110, and the first positioning part 231 is positioned and engaged with the housing 110 in the radial direction of the camera 100.

[0070] It is understandable that a first positioning part 231 is provided on the mounting base 230. The first positioning part 231 is located on the outer periphery of the housing 110. This allows the first positioning part 231 to position the housing 110, facilitating the mounting of the camera 100 on the mounting base 230. Furthermore, the first positioning part 231 and the housing 110 are positioned and engaged in the outer periphery of the camera 100, ensuring that the camera 100 is not eccentric relative to the mounting base 230 and that the camera 100 does not wobble relative to the decorative motherboard 220, thereby ensuring the stability of the camera 100. For example, if the cross-section of the camera 100 is circular, the first positioning part 231 and the housing 110 are positioned and engaged in the radial direction of the camera 100; if the cross-section of the camera 100 is polygonal, the first positioning part 231 and the housing 110 are positioned and engaged on the outer periphery of the camera 100.

[0071] In particular, such as Figures 11-14 As shown, there are multiple first positioning parts 231, which are arranged around the camera 100. The first positioning part 231 is constructed as a first positioning rib.

[0072] In other words, multiple first positioning parts 231 are located on the outer periphery of the camera 100. This ensures that the camera 100 does not become eccentric relative to the mounting base 230 and that the camera 100 does not wobble relative to the decorative main board 220, thereby ensuring the stability of the camera 100. Moreover, the first positioning part 231 is a first positioning rib, which not only enables lightweight design but also ensures the flexibility of the first positioning part 231, thus facilitating the installation of the camera 100 on the vehicle body decorative panel 200.

[0073] In addition, such as Figure 11 and Figure 12As shown, the mounting base 230 is provided with a second positioning part 232 on the outer periphery of the housing 110, and the housing 110 is provided with a third positioning part 112. The second positioning part 232 is located on the side of the third positioning part 112 near the through hole 210, and the second positioning part 232 and the third positioning part 112 are positioned and engaged in the axial direction of the camera 100.

[0074] Understandably, the cross-section of the mounting base 230 forms an "L" shape, with a second positioning part 232 located at the lower right corner of the "L" shape. That is, the second positioning part 232 is located on the outer periphery of the housing 110, and a third positioning part 112 is located on one side of the housing 110. Moreover, the second positioning part 232 and the third positioning part 112 are close to each other, with the second positioning part 232 facing inward and the third positioning part 112 facing outward. This facilitates the positioning and cooperation of the second positioning part 232 and the third positioning part 112 along the axial direction of the camera 100. This ensures that the camera 100 does not become eccentric relative to the mounting base 230 and that the camera 100 does not wobble relative to the decorative mainboard 220, thereby ensuring the stability of the camera 100 and preventing the waterproof seal 120 from being exposed.

[0075] In particular, such as Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, there are multiple second positioning parts 232, which are arranged around the camera 100. The second positioning part 232 is constructed as a second positioning rib, and the third positioning part 112 is constructed as a stepped surface.

[0076] In other words, multiple second positioning parts 232 are arranged on the outer periphery of the camera 100. This ensures that the camera 100 does not become eccentric relative to the mounting base 230 and that the camera 100 does not wobble relative to the decorative main board 220, thereby ensuring the stability of the camera 100. Moreover, the second positioning part 232 is a second positioning rib and the third positioning part 112 is a stepped surface. This not only enables a lightweight design but also ensures the flexibility of the second positioning part 232 and the ease of positioning between the second positioning part 232 and the third positioning part 112, thus facilitating the installation of the camera 100 on the vehicle body decorative panel 200.

[0077] In addition, such as Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 15As shown, the vehicle body also includes: a bracket 240, a housing 110 disposed on the bracket 240, and the bracket 240 disposed on the vehicle body trim panel 200. It can be understood that the bracket 240 limits the housing 110, thereby facilitating the installation of the housing 110 on the bracket 240. Furthermore, the housing 110 and the bracket 240 are connected by screws, ensuring ease of assembly and robustness between them. The bracket 240 is connected to the vehicle body trim panel 200 by screws, facilitating the installation of the camera 100 on the vehicle body trim panel 200.

[0078] The vehicle according to this utility model includes the body of the above embodiment. By providing a waterproof seal 120 on the surface of the housing 110, and a portion of the waterproof seal 120 protruding from the surface of the housing 110, a sealed fit can be made between the housing 110 and the body trim panel 200. The camera 100 can be arranged at a higher position on the vehicle body, and the sealed fit between the camera 100 and the body trim panel 200 can be achieved.
