[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle camera technology, and in particular to a mounting bracket for a vehicle exterior rearview mirror camera. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, vehicle exterior rearview mirror cameras play a crucial role in the safety, comfort, and intelligence of vehicle steering and parking. However, the installation angle of current vehicle exterior rearview mirror cameras cannot be accurately adjusted, failing to meet the installation and layout data requirements. This results in the inability to adjust the camera's imaging effect in real time based on the installation and layout data, affecting the safety of vehicles when changing lanes, turning, or parking. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this application is to provide a mounting bracket for a vehicle exterior rearview mirror camera, which solves the problem that the installation angle of the current vehicle exterior rearview mirror camera cannot be accurately adjusted.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides a mounting bracket for a vehicle exterior rearview mirror camera, comprising:

[0005] Mounting bracket, used to fix the vehicle's exterior rearview mirror;

[0006] The adapter is rotatably connected to the fixed base and is used to rotate relative to the fixed base about an axis in a first direction. It is also used to mount a camera.

[0007] A fastening component is located at the connection between the adapter and the fixed base, and is used to fix the adapter to the fixed base after the position of the adapter relative to the fixed base has been adjusted.

[0008] The adapter and the fixed base are configured to have a rotating dial on one of them and an indicator mark on the other. The indicator mark is configured to point to the corresponding mark on the rotating dial after the adapter rotates relative to the fixed base.

[0009] In some embodiments, the mounting bracket for the vehicle exterior rearview mirror camera further includes:

[0010] The outrigger assembly is located on both sides of the fixed base;

[0011] The fastener is detachably connected to the outrigger assembly for securing it to the vehicle's exterior rearview mirror.

[0012] In some embodiments, the outrigger assembly has connection holes and a cable tie is used as a fastener. The cable tie passes through the connection holes of the outrigger assembly and forms a closed loop structure. The cable tie is used to tie to the vehicle exterior rearview mirror and is also used to loosen and tighten according to the size of the vehicle exterior rearview mirror.

[0013] In some embodiments, the fixed base includes a fixed plate, the adapter base includes an adapter plate, and both the fixed plate and the adapter plate are provided with rotatable connection holes;

[0014] The fastening assembly includes a first rotating screw and a first fastening nut. The first rotating screw is fitted with the rotating connection holes of both the fixed plate and the adapter plate, and the first fastening nut is threadedly fitted with the first rotating screw.

[0015] The first fastening nut is configured to allow the adapter plate to rotate relative to the fixed plate about the first rotating screw when the connection between the first rotating screw and the rotating connection hole of both the fixed plate and the adapter plate is loosened, and to fix the position of the adapter plate relative to the fixed plate when the connection between the first rotating screw and the rotating connection hole of both the fixed plate and the adapter plate is locked.

[0016] In some embodiments, the fixing plate is further provided with a limiting slide groove, and the adapter plate is further provided with a through hole. The limiting slide groove is provided with the rotating connection hole as the center and extends in the circumferential direction.

[0017] The fastening assembly also includes a second rotating screw and a second fastening nut. The second rotating screw is fitted with the limiting slide groove and the through hole, and the second fastening nut is threadedly fitted with the second rotating screw.

[0018] By loosening the second and first fastening nuts, the adapter plate can rotate relative to the fixed plate around the first rotating screw, while the limiting slide groove slides relative to the second rotating screw to adjust the position of the adapter plate relative to the fixed plate; by tightening the second and first fastening nuts, the position of the adapter plate relative to the fixed plate is fixed.

[0019] In some embodiments, the angle range of the rotating dial is the same as the angle range of the limiting slide, both being 0-180 degrees.

[0020] In some embodiments, the vehicle exterior rearview mirror camera mounting bracket further includes a balance plate, which is fixed to the adapter and is used to mount the camera externally.

[0021] In some embodiments, one of the balance plate and the adapter is provided with a fixing hole, and the other is provided with a fixing post. The fixing hole is connected to the fixing post through a fastening connector so that the balance plate is fixed to the adapter.

[0022] In some embodiments, the adapter is provided with a mounting hole, and the inner wall of the mounting hole is provided with a shock-absorbing rubber pad for contacting the camera.

[0023] In some embodiments, both the fixed base and the adapter base are U-shaped, and a level is installed inside the fixed base.

[0024] Compared to the above-mentioned background technology, the vehicle exterior rearview mirror camera mounting bracket provided in this application embodiment includes a fixed base fixed to the vehicle exterior rearview mirror, an adapter base (also used to support the camera) that can rotate relative to the fixed base around a first direction axis, and a fastening component (used to lock after angle adjustment) provided at the connection between the adapter base and the fixed base. The adapter base and the fixed base are provided with a rotating scale and an indicator mark, so that the camera installation angle can be accurately positioned by the scale indication.

[0025] The main advantages of this type of vehicle exterior rearview mirror camera mounting bracket include:

[0026] On the one hand, the flexible adjustment of the camera installation angle is achieved through the rotation design of the adapter seat around the first direction axis (combined with the fastening components). This structure solves the blind spot problem caused by the fixed installation of traditional exterior rearview mirror cameras. At the same time, through the cooperation of the rotating scale and the indicator marks, the angle adjustment accuracy can reach about 5°, which is significantly better than conventional non-scale adjustment mechanisms. This allows for precise adjustment of the installation angle of the vehicle exterior rearview mirror camera, ensuring that the vehicle exterior rearview mirror camera is installed on the vehicle exterior rearview mirror according to the installation layout data requirements. This meets the installation data requirements of the vehicle exterior rearview mirror camera in terms of field of view, optical axis intersection, high illumination, yaw angle, roll angle, and margin angle. This allows for real-time adjustment of the camera imaging effect based on the 3D layout data, ensuring the accuracy and safety of the vehicle when changing lanes, turning, or parking. On the other hand, the separate rotating connection structure of the fixed seat and the adapter seat allows the rotation of the adapter seat to buffer the impact energy when the camera is hit by external force. Compared with an integrated bracket, the impact resistance is improved. Attached Figure Description

[0039] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0040] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0041] It should be noted that the directional terms such as "upper end," "lower end," "left side," and "right side" mentioned below are defined based on the accompanying drawings in the instruction manual.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the assembly of the vehicle exterior rearview mirror camera mounting bracket and the camera in an embodiment of this application; Figure 2 for Figure 1 Another perspective diagram.

[0043] The vehicle exterior rearview mirror camera mounting bracket provided in this application embodiment includes a fixed base 10, an adapter base 20, and a fastening assembly.

[0044] The mounting bracket 10 is used to fix the vehicle exterior rearview mirror, and the mounting bracket 10 serves as the load-bearing structure for the adapter 20 and the camera 80.

[0045] The adapter 20 is rotatably connected to the fixed base 10. The adapter 20 is used to rotate relative to the fixed base 10 about an axis in a first direction, and also to mount the camera 80. The first direction is perpendicular to the direction in which the camera 80 is inserted into the adapter 20; for example, the camera 80 is mounted along... Figure 1The adapter 20 is inserted in the vertical direction as shown. This first direction is as follows: Figure 1 The horizontal direction shown, or the length direction of the support.

[0046] A fastening assembly is located at the connection between the adapter 20 and the fixed base 10. The fastening assembly is used to fix the adapter 20 to the fixed base 10 after the position of the adapter 20 relative to the fixed base 10 has been adjusted. It can be seen that the fastening assembly not only serves as a rotating connection assembly between the adapter 20 and the fixed base 10, but also locks the adapter 20 to the fixed base 10 after the angle of the adapter 20 relative to the fixed base 10 has been adjusted.

[0047] Furthermore, one of the adapter 20 and the fixed base 10 may be equipped with a rotating dial 30, while the other may be equipped with an indicator mark 40. For example, the indicator mark 40 may be set on the fixed base 10, and the rotating dial 30 may be set on the adapter 20. The indicator mark 40 is configured to point to the corresponding mark on the rotating dial 30 after the adapter 20 rotates relative to the fixed base 10. In this way, the precise positioning of the camera 80's installation angle can be achieved through the dial indication.

[0048] On the one hand, the flexible adjustment of the installation angle of the camera 80 is achieved through the rotation design of the adapter 20 around the first direction axis (combined with the fastening component). This structure solves the problem of blind spots caused by the fixed installation of the traditional exterior rearview mirror camera 80. At the same time, through the cooperation of the rotating scale 30 and the indicator mark 40, the angle adjustment accuracy can reach about 5°, which is significantly better than the conventional non-scale adjustment mechanism. This allows for precise adjustment of the installation angle of the vehicle exterior rearview mirror camera 80, so that the vehicle exterior rearview mirror camera 80 can be installed on the vehicle exterior rearview mirror according to the installation layout data requirements. This meets the installation data requirements of the vehicle exterior rearview mirror camera 80 in terms of field of view, optical axis intersection, high illumination, yaw angle, roll angle, margin angle, etc. In this way, the imaging effect of the camera 80 in reality can be adjusted in real time according to the 3D layout data, ensuring the accuracy and safety of the vehicle when changing lanes, turning or parking.

[0049] On the other hand, by adopting a separate rotating connection structure of fixed base 10 and adapter base 20, when the camera 80 is hit by an external force, the impact energy can be buffered by the rotation of adapter base 20, which improves the impact resistance performance compared with an integrated bracket.

[0050] To facilitate mounting the bracket to the vehicle's exterior rearview mirror, the vehicle exterior rearview mirror camera mounting bracket also includes a leg assembly 50 and a fixing piece 60.

[0051] The outrigger assembly 50 is located on both sides of the mounting base 10, and the fixing member 60 is detachably connected to the outrigger assembly 50. The fixing member 60 is used to fix it to the vehicle exterior rearview mirror.

[0052] In some embodiments, the outrigger assembly 50 is provided with a connection hole 51, and the fastener 60 is a cable tie. The cable tie passes through the connection hole 51 of the outrigger assembly 50 and forms a closed loop structure. The cable tie is used to tie to the vehicle exterior rearview mirror and is also used to loosen and tighten according to the size of the vehicle exterior rearview mirror.

[0053] Specifically, the mounting base 10 has two legs on each side, with the two legs on the same side arranged in parallel. Each leg has a connection hole 51, and the cable tie is threaded through the connection hole 51 of the two legs on the same side, forming a closed loop structure. This allows the bracket to be tied to the vehicle's exterior rearview mirror.

[0054] It is important to emphasize that the use of adjustable cable ties eliminates the need for drilling holes in the rearview mirror or vehicle body. This drill-free design avoids damaging the vehicle's original structure. Furthermore, the bracket can be installed or removed simply by tightening or loosening the cable ties, taking only about one-third the time of traditional screw fixing. This makes it suitable for temporary emergency use or long-term use. In addition, compared to rigid fixing, the flexible contact of the cable ties reduces impact damage to the camera and rearview mirror caused by vehicle bumps.

[0055] In addition, the adjustable cable tie opening range (usually 3-20mm) can be compatible with the diameter of rearview mirrors of different models, solving the problem of needing to customize the camera mounting position for different models.

[0056] It should be noted that most rearview mirrors on the market currently taper from the inside out, meaning the outermost edge of the mirror is narrower than the inner edge. This cable tie binding method allows for compatibility with different car models and mirror sizes. Furthermore, by widening the cable ties on both sides, the bracket can be moved laterally on the rearview mirror, facilitating adjustment of the camera's position along the mirror's length.

[0057] Of course, depending on actual needs, in addition to using flexible cable ties, stainless steel cable ties can also be used. The steel ball anti-retraction structure provides continuous tension, and with the powder coating treatment on the surface of the cable ties, it can withstand high-frequency vibrations during vehicle operation.

[0058] It should be noted that, in addition to cable ties, fasteners 60 can also be made of magnetic closures, snap fasteners, etc.

[0059] In some embodiments, both the fixed base 10 and the adapter base 20 are U-shaped, with the adapter base 20 upside down on the fixed base 10 and the two rotatably connected.

[0060] Specifically, the fixed base 10 includes a fixed plate 11, and the adapter base 20 includes an adapter plate 21. Both the fixed plate 11 and the adapter plate 21 are provided with rotating connection holes 12, and the two rotating connection holes 12 are aligned. At the same time, the fastening assembly includes a first rotating screw and a first fastening nut. The first rotating screw passes through and engages with the rotating connection holes 12 of both the fixed plate 11 and the adapter plate 21, and the first fastening nut is threadedly engaged with the first rotating screw.

[0061] In this way, the first fastening nut is configured to allow the adapter plate 21 to rotate relative to the fixed plate 11 about the first rotating screw when the connection between the first rotating screw and the rotating connection hole 12 of both the fixed plate 11 and the adapter plate 21 is loosened, and to fix the position of the adapter plate 21 relative to the fixed plate 11 when the connection between the first rotating screw and the rotating connection hole 12 of both the fixed plate 11 and the adapter plate 21 is locked.

[0062] In other words, when the first fastening nut is loosened, the adapter plate 21 can rotate freely around the axis of the first rotating screw (for example, the camera 80 needs to adapt to the installation angle of the rearview mirror of different models), and the adjustment efficiency is high; after the first fastening nut is tightened, the adapter plate 21 and the fixing plate 11 form a rigid constraint through the first rotating screw, so that the displacement is controlled within 0.1mm, which meets the vibration resistance requirements of the vehicle equipment.

[0063] In addition, when the first fastening nut is tightened, the first rotating screw can generate radial pressure with the inner wall of the rotating connection hole 12. At the same time, the end face of the first fastening nut and the contact surface of the adapter plate 21 form end face friction. The double anti-loosening mechanism can reduce the preload loss under vibration conditions to below the preset value, ensuring the tightness of the connection between the two.

[0064] In some embodiments, the fixing plate 11 is further provided with a limiting slide groove 13, and the adapter plate 21 is further provided with a through hole 22. The limiting slide groove 13 is provided with the rotating connection hole 12 as the center and extends in the circumferential direction.

[0065] Specifically, the aforementioned rotating connecting hole 12 and through hole 22 are circular holes, and the limiting slide groove 13 is an arc-shaped groove. The limiting slide groove 13 is located above the rotating connecting hole 12, and the through hole 22 is located inside the limiting slide groove 13. The length of the limiting slide groove 13 can be designed according to the angle adjustment range of the camera 80. The length of the limiting slide groove 13 determines the maximum adjustment angle of the camera 80.

[0066] Furthermore, the fastening assembly also includes a second rotating screw and a second fastening nut. The second rotating screw is fitted with the limiting slide groove 13 and the through hole 22, and the second fastening nut is threadedly fitted with the second rotating screw.

[0067] In this way, by loosening the second fastening nut and the first fastening nut, the adapter plate 21 can rotate relative to the fixed plate 11 with the first rotating screw as the axis, while the limiting slide groove 13 slides relative to the second rotating screw, so as to adjust the position of the adapter plate 21 relative to the fixed plate 11; by tightening the second fastening nut and the first fastening nut, the position of the adapter plate 21 relative to the fixed plate 11 is fixed.

[0068] Understandably, when the nuts are loosened, the adapter plate 21 can rotate freely around the axis of the first rotating screw (to meet the 80-degree angle adjustment requirement of the camera), while the limiting slide groove 13 slides along the second rotating screw (limiting the adjustment displacement), achieving precise positioning in a two-dimensional plane. After tightening the double nuts, the preload of the threaded pair and the mechanical constraint of the limiting slide groove 13 form a four-point rigid fixation (double screw + double nuts), further reducing the displacement of the adapter plate 21 and meeting the vibration resistance requirements of the vehicle-mounted equipment.

[0069] Furthermore, the lateral load during the adjustment process is borne by the limiting slide 13 and the second rotating screw, avoiding direct shear force on the threaded pair and reducing the risk of thread wear and deformation. In the locked state, the pressure of the adapter plate 21 is evenly transmitted to the fixed plate 11 through the limiting slide 13, avoiding stress concentration at the connection between the adapter plate 21 and the fixed plate 11, which could lead to local fatigue failure.

[0070] In some embodiments, the angle range of the rotating dial 30 is the same as the angle range of the limiting slide 13, which is 0-180 degrees.

[0071] For example, the adapter 20 corresponds to 0 degrees when aligned, and the rotation range to either side is 90 degrees. Rotation to the left is a positive degree, and rotation to the right is a negative degree. A small scale value displays 5°, and a large scale value displays 10°. With this setting, the angle adjustment accuracy of the camera 80 can reach 5° level.

[0072] Of course, the above scale values ​​can be adjusted according to the actual angle adjustment needs, and are not limited to the values ​​mentioned above.

[0073] In some embodiments, the vehicle exterior rearview mirror camera mounting bracket further includes a balance plate 70 or a mounting bracket, the balance plate 70 being fixed to the adapter 20 and used to mount the camera 80 to the outside.

[0074] Considering that some cameras 80 are too long and the lens itself accounts for a large proportion of their weight, they often end up being heavier than the other side. This excessive weight in the front half of the camera 80 can lead to poor connection stability between the camera 80 and the adapter 20. To address this, a balance plate 70 is added to ensure the stability of the connection between the overly long cameras 80 and the adapter 20.

[0075] In this embodiment, one of the balance plate 70 and the adapter 20 is provided with a fixing hole 71, and the other is provided with a fixing post 23. The fixing hole 71 is connected to the fixing post 23 through a fastening connector, so that the balance plate 70 is fixed to the adapter 20. For example, the balance plate 70 is provided with a fixing hole 71, and the adapter 20 is provided with a fixing post 23.

[0076] Of course, the fastening connector can be a bolt or a screw. The number of fixing holes 71 and fixing posts 23 can both be set to four, respectively located at the four corners of the balance plate 70 and the adapter 20, so as to ensure the stability and reliability of the connection between the balance plate 70 and the adapter 20.

[0077] In addition, a circular hole can be provided on the balance plate 70 to facilitate the pulling of the connection cable of the camera 80 to the rear. The balance plate 70 is a separate part from the entire bracket. The bracket can be removed and stored separately for daily use, and the balance plates 70 can be stacked together for use when needed.

[0078] During installation, the camera 80 can be installed on the balance plate 70 first, and then the whole unit can be installed on the adapter 20. Alternatively, the balance plate 70 can be installed on the adapter 20 first, and then the camera 80 can be installed on both the balance plate 70 and the adapter 20.

[0079] To facilitate the installation of the camera 80, the adapter 20 is provided with mounting holes. The inner wall of the mounting holes is equipped with shock-absorbing rubber pads, which are used to abut against the camera 80 to buffer and reduce vibration during vehicle movement. Of course, the camera 80 and the adapter 20 can also be reinforced with 3M adhesive tape. 3M adhesive tape is low in cost, easy to use, and can be repeated.

[0080] In some embodiments, both the fixed base 10 and the adapter base 20 are U-shaped structures, and a level is installed inside the fixed base 10.

[0081] Installing a level inside the mounting bracket 10 ensures that the bracket, the exterior rearview mirror, and the ground are in a relatively level position.

[0082] It is important to emphasize that, due to the tight development cycles of many projects, the current placement of surround-view or side-view cameras (80) often relies on mechanical simulations. These mechanical simulations inherently contain some degree of inaccuracy and cannot accurately reflect the actual imaging effect. Therefore, this application provides a mounting bracket for a vehicle-mounted exterior rearview mirror camera. This bracket allows for early access to the camera placement data and the resulting image quality, perfectly avoiding the pitfalls of relying on virtual placement software and mitigating the risk of unquantifiable imaging effects from virtual data.

[0083] In practice, the bracket can be directly installed on the exterior rearview mirror according to the installation data of the mechanism. If the actual vehicle cannot be obtained immediately, a 3D printer can be used to quickly print a shell of the exterior rearview mirror to fix the mounting bracket for the vehicle exterior rearview mirror camera.

[0084] Meanwhile, as vehicles increasingly prioritize speed and novel designs, manufacturers are making side mirrors smaller and smaller. This further restricts the space available for the installation and placement of the side mirror cameras 80. Consequently, the resulting images from the cameras often show an excessively large area of ​​the ground (i.e., too much of the ground or vehicle body is captured by the camera), limiting the field of view. This excessive ground area reduces the effective field of view of the camera, failing to adequately cover critical areas to the side and rear of the vehicle (such as lanes, pedestrians, and other vehicles), increasing blind spots and affecting the driver's judgment of the surrounding environment. This can lead to safety hazards when changing lanes or turning. Furthermore, the images of the ground or vehicle body may contain complex textures, shadows, or reflections. These interfering elements increase the difficulty of image recognition algorithms, potentially leading to misidentification or missed detection. For example, ground shadows might be misjudged as obstacles, or genuine hazards might be failed to be identified in time.

[0085] To address this issue, the vehicle exterior rearview mirror camera mounting bracket provided in this application solves the blind spot problem caused by the fixed installation of traditional exterior rearview mirror cameras 80 by flexibly adjusting the installation angle of the camera 80. Simultaneously, through the cooperation of rotating the scale 30 and the indicator mark 40, the angle adjustment accuracy can reach approximately 5°, significantly superior to conventional non-scale adjustment mechanisms. This allows for precise adjustment of the installation angle of the vehicle exterior rearview mirror camera 80, ensuring that the camera is installed on the vehicle exterior rearview mirror according to the installation layout data requirements. This satisfies the installation data requirements of the vehicle exterior rearview mirror camera 80 in terms of field of view, optical axis intersection, high illumination, yaw angle, roll angle, and margin. This allows for real-time adjustment of the imaging effect of the camera 80 based on 3D layout data, ensuring accuracy and safety when the vehicle changes lanes, turns, or parks.

[0086] Furthermore, the vehicle-mounted exterior rearview mirror camera mounting bracket provided in this application embodiment can also provide external camera 80 mounting functionality for some data acquisition vehicles, avoiding the inability to accurately adjust and debug the installation angle. For some professional data acquisition vehicles, the vehicle may frequently need to replace the camera 80. Many vehicles use glue for fixing, but this fixing cannot ensure the stability and consistency of the camera 80's imaging, nor can it accurately debug data such as the yaw angle and pitch angle of the camera 80. The vehicle-mounted exterior rearview mirror camera mounting bracket provided in this application embodiment can perfectly solve this problem. The bracket can be reused multiple times, and there is no situation where one bracket can only fit one vehicle.

[0087] It should be noted that in this specification, relational terms such as first and second are used only to distinguish one entity from several other entities, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities.

[0088] The above provides a detailed description of the vehicle exterior rearview mirror camera mounting bracket provided in this application. Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of this application. The descriptions of the embodiments above are merely for the purpose of helping to understand the solution and core ideas of this application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications to this application without departing from its principles, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of this application.
