[0042] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the vehicle video recorder device 100 provided in this application includes a bracket 10 and a vehicle video recorder 20. The bracket 10 has a first mounting position 101 and a second mounting position 102. The second mounting position 102 is located below the first mounting position 101 in the vehicle height direction Z. The first mounting position 101 is used to mount the bracket 10 onto the seat frame 210 of the seat 200, so that the bracket 10 is mounted on the seat 200. The vehicle video recorder 20 is mounted on the second mounting position 102 and is detachably connected to the bracket 10. As can be seen from the above, the vehicle video recorder 20 of this application is mounted onto the seat frame 210 of the seat 200 through the bracket 10, which brings the distance between the vehicle video recorder 20 and the body controller (not shown) closer. This shortens the length of the wiring harness (not shown) for the electrical connection between the vehicle video recorder 20 and the body controller, thereby reducing the cost of wiring harness materials and the complexity of wiring.

[0043] It should be noted that in this application, the second mounting position 102 of the bracket 10 is located below the first mounting position 101 in the vehicle height direction Z, so that the part of the bracket 10 where the second mounting position 102 is located can avoid the crossbeam 211 on the seat frame 210, so as to meet the usage requirements of the vehicle video recorder 20 being assembled on the seat frame 210 of the seat 200 through the bracket 10.

[0044] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the bracket 10 has at least three mounting points 11 at the first mounting station 101, and three of the mounting points 11 are arranged in a triangle. Each mounting point 11 can be connected to the basin frame 210 via a threaded connector (not shown). This allows the bracket 10 to be assembled onto the basin frame 210. In this process, the stability of the triangle is utilized to improve the stability of the bracket 10 during assembly onto the basin frame 210. Furthermore, the threaded connection between the threaded connector and the basin frame 210 facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the bracket 10 onto the basin frame 210. Here, the threaded connector is specifically configured as a screw, bolt, etc. It is understood that in other embodiments, the bracket 10 can also be fixed to the basin frame 210 by snap-fit ​​or welding, which will not be elaborated upon here.

[0045] like Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, in this embodiment, the bracket 10 has three mounting points 11. Two mounting points 11 are located on one side of the bracket 10 in the vehicle width direction Y, and the remaining mounting point 11 is located on the other side of the bracket 10 in the vehicle width direction Y. It is understood that in other embodiments, the number of mounting points 11 may be four, five, or even more, and the positions of these mounting points 11 can be arranged according to specific usage requirements, which will not be elaborated upon here.

[0046] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the bracket 10 has a snap-fit ​​portion 12 at the second mounting position 102. The snap-fit ​​portion 12 can snap-fit ​​and limit the vehicle video recorder 20, thereby limiting the vehicle video recorder 20 onto the bracket 10. That is, in this embodiment, the vehicle video recorder 20 is assembled onto the bracket 10 by snap-fit, which facilitates the installation and removal of the vehicle video recorder 20 on the bracket 10, thereby facilitating subsequent maintenance of the vehicle video recorder 20.

[0047] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the number of latching parts 12 is configured to be multiple. Some latching parts 12 are disposed on one side of the vehicle video recorder 20 in the vehicle width direction Y, and the remaining latching parts 12 are disposed on the other side of the vehicle video recorder 20 in the vehicle width direction Y. This ensures that the vehicle video recorder 20 has fixed points on both sides of the vehicle width direction Y when mounted on the bracket 10, thereby improving the stability of the vehicle video recorder 20 mounted on the bracket 10. For example, the number of latching parts 12 is configured to be four, of which two latching parts 12 are connected as one piece and arranged on one side of the vehicle video recorder 20 in the vehicle width direction Y, and the remaining two latching parts 12 are arranged on two opposite sides of the vehicle video recorder 20 in the vehicle length direction X.

[0048] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, a wiring harness is electrically connected to the vehicle recorder 20 for electrically connecting to the vehicle body controller, thereby enabling the vehicle recorder 20 to be electrically connected to the vehicle body controller. A cantilever 13 is formed on the bracket 10, fixedly disposed relative to the vehicle recorder 20, and the wiring harness passes through the cantilever 13. In other words, this embodiment uses the cantilever 13 on the bracket 10 to limit the wiring harness on the vehicle recorder 20 for electrical connection to the vehicle body controller, thus preventing the seat 200 from affecting the connection between the vehicle recorder 20 and the wiring harness during adjustment, thereby ensuring the stability of the electrical connection between the wiring harness and the vehicle recorder 20. Here, the wiring harness is assembled and connected to the vehicle recorder 20 in a quick-release manner.

[0049] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, a through hole 131 is provided on the cantilever 13; a wire clip (not shown) is connected to the wire harness. The wire clip can be inserted and engaged with the through hole 131. Furthermore, the portion of the wire clip located inside the through hole 131 abuts against and limits the hole wall 1311 of the through hole 131 in the circumferential direction of the wire clip. This allows the cantilever 13 to assemble and limit the wire harness passing through the through hole 131 in the circumferential direction of the wire harness. This further ensures the stability of the electrical connection between the wire harness and the vehicle video recorder 20.

[0050] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the vehicle video recorder 20 has a memory card slot 21, which is located on the front side of the vehicle video recorder 20 in the vehicle length direction X; and in the vehicle height direction Z, the memory card slot 21 is located below the flange 212 wrapped on the seat frame 210.

[0051] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, this application also provides a vehicle, including a seat 200 and the aforementioned vehicle video recorder device 100; a bracket 10 is mounted on the seat basin frame 210 of the seat 200 and connected to the seat basin frame 210.

[0052] In one embodiment, seat 200 is configured as a front passenger seat, that is, the vehicle video recorder 20 is arranged on the front passenger seat, further reducing the distance between the vehicle video recorder 20 and the body controller. This further shortens the length of the wiring harness used for the electrical connection between the vehicle video recorder 20 and the body controller, thereby further reducing the cost of wiring harness materials and the complexity of wiring. Here, the aforementioned front passenger seat specifically refers to the front passenger seat. It is understood that in other embodiments, the vehicle video recorder 20 may also be arranged in the driver's seat or in the rear passenger seat, which will not be elaborated here.

[0053] like Figure 3 , Figure 4As shown, in one embodiment, the seat 200 further includes a seat controller 220, which is mounted on the seat frame 210. The seat controller 220 and the vehicle video recorder 20 are arranged side-by-side in the vehicle width direction Y. That is, the seat frame 210 of the seat 200 has sufficient installation space to support both the seat controller 220 and the vehicle video recorder 20, ensuring that their assembly on the seat frame 210 does not interfere with each other, thus meeting the usage requirements for installation on the seat frame 210. Here, the seat controller 220 and the vehicle video recorder 20 are aligned in the vehicle length direction X. It is understood that in other embodiments, the seat controller 220 and the vehicle video recorder 20 are staggered in the length direction X. Of course, the arrangement of the seat controller 220 and the vehicle video recorder 20 on the seat frame 210 of the seat 200 can also adopt other methods, as long as the seat frame 210 can simultaneously accommodate both the seat controller 220 and the vehicle video recorder 20; these will not be elaborated upon here.

[0054] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0055] Those skilled in the art should recognize that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any appropriate changes and variations made to the above embodiments within the scope of the essential spirit of the present utility model shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present utility model.
