Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle technology, specifically to an installation structure for an image acquisition device and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] As vehicle technology continues to evolve, more and more vehicles are being equipped with image acquisition devices. These devices have a wide range of applications in vehicles, covering multiple dimensions such as driving safety, driver assistance, image recording, and intelligent interaction.

[0003] To obtain clearer images, image acquisition devices are typically deployed externally to vehicles. However, existing image acquisition devices suffer from complex installation structures, making disassembly and assembly inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an installation structure for an image acquisition device and a vehicle, so as to solve the technical problem of complex camera installation structure on a vehicle.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] According to a first aspect of this application, this application provides an installation structure for an image acquisition device. The installation structure includes a base, an image acquisition device mounting structure, a decorative cover, and a protective cover. The image acquisition device is connected to the base, the decorative cover is stacked with the base, the decorative cover has a through hole, at least a portion of the image acquisition device is placed through the through hole on the side of the decorative cover away from the base, and the protective cover is connected to the surface of the decorative cover away from the base, covering at least a portion of the image acquisition device.

[0007] Based on the above technical means, the protective cover and decorative cover plate adopt a pre-integrated design. The base serves as a load-bearing and fixing base, providing mechanical support and circuit connection for the image acquisition equipment. The decorative cover plate serves both as an appearance decoration and a positioning reference. The stacked arrangement of the decorative cover plate and the base forms a spatial limiting structure. The protective cover, while covering the periphery of the through hole, provides dustproof, waterproof, and impact-resistant protection for the exposed parts of the image acquisition equipment.

[0008] Based on the above technical means, after the image acquisition device and the base are electrically and mechanically connected, the protective cover and the decorative cover plate form an integrated installation module, which simplifies the installation structure. After the image acquisition device is fixedly connected to the base, the decorative cover plate and the base can be positioned and installed simply by aligning the image acquisition device through the through hole of the decorative cover plate.

[0009] In one possible implementation, the protective cover includes a transparent area, and the imaging module includes an imaging end, which is disposed opposite to the transparent area, and the imaging end captures images through the transparent area.

[0010] Based on the above technical means, after the decorative cover is installed, the transparent area of ​​the protective cover is set opposite to the shooting end of the shooting module to ensure that the shooting end of the shooting module can achieve the shooting function through the transparent area.

[0011] In one possible implementation, the protective cover includes a body, which includes a light-shielding portion and a transparent portion, the transparent portion forming a transparent area.

[0012] Based on the aforementioned technical means, the transparent portion of the main body forms a transparent area that allows the shooting module's camera to perform shooting functions, while the light-blocking portion effectively blocks stray light from the environment. Thus, the transparent area serves as the sole shooting area, ensuring that the camera only receives effective light from the target scene, and the light-blocking effect prevents unnecessary lighting from causing image overexposure or color distortion.

[0013] In one possible implementation, the body includes a transparent cover surrounding the periphery of the through hole, and the transparent cover is integrally formed with a decorative cover plate. The body also includes a light-shielding layer connected to the surface of the transparent cover away from the through hole. The light-shielding layer has an avoidance notch, and the avoidance notch and the area corresponding to the avoidance notch on the transparent cover form a transparent portion. The remaining portion of the light-shielding layer forms a light-shielding portion.

[0014] Based on the aforementioned technical means, the transparent cover surrounds the through hole and is integrally formed with the decorative cover plate, creating a continuous and high-precision optical positioning reference. This ensures that the corresponding area of ​​the transparent cover (i.e., the area mapped by the avoidance notch on the transparent cover) is aligned with the shooting end of the imaging module, thereby avoiding assembly deviations in a split structure. Simultaneously, a light-shielding layer is connected to the back of the transparent cover, with its avoidance notch aligned with the shooting range of the imaging end to ensure that the imaging end can capture an image. The remaining portion of the light-shielding layer effectively blocks stray ambient light from entering from non-imaging directions, reducing glare interference with the imaging end.

[0015] In one possible implementation, the body includes a light-shielding cover surrounding the through hole and integrally formed with a decorative cover plate. The body also includes a transparent layer connected to the surface of the light-shielding cover opposite to the through hole. The light-shielding cover has an avoidance notch, and the avoidance notch and the corresponding area of ​​the transparent layer on the light-shielding cover form a transparent portion. The remaining portion of the light-shielding cover forms a light-shielding portion.

[0016] Based on the aforementioned technical means, the transparent layer is located on the outside of the light-shielding cover. This means that during processing, only the light-shielding cover needs to be processed, eliminating the need for additional processing of the transparent layer, effectively simplifying the manufacturing process. Furthermore, the light-shielding cover and the decorative cover can be made of the same material, reducing material costs and processing complexity.

[0017] In one possible implementation, the image acquisition device includes a drive module and an imaging module connected by a drive mechanism. The drive module is connected to a base, and the imaging module is positioned on the side of a decorative cover away from the base through a through hole. A protective cover is provided over at least part of the imaging module.

[0018] Based on the aforementioned technical means, the drive module, as a power unit, is built into the base, forming a mechanical transmission link with the exposed imaging module. The decorative cover protects the drive module from external environmental influences. Simultaneously, the imaging module can be adjusted via the drive module to meet image acquisition angle requirements in different scenarios. The imaging module is exposed through a through-hole and protected by a protective cover, extending its service life.

[0019] In one possible implementation, the drive module includes a power component and a transmission component that are connected by a transmission link. The transmission component is also connected by a transmission link to the shooting module. The power component is used to drive the transmission component to rotate the shooting module.

[0020] Based on the above technical means, the rotational / linear motion output by the power component is converted into the rotational trajectory required by the shooting module through the transmission component, thereby meeting the adjustment requirements of the shooting angle.

[0021] In one possible implementation, the transmission component includes a meshing worm gear and a worm, the output end of the power component is connected to the worm, the worm gear is connected to the shooting module, and the power component can drive the worm to rotate so that the worm gear drives the shooting module to rotate.

[0022] Based on the above technical means, the worm gear is connected to the output end of the power component, and the worm wheel is rigidly coupled to the shooting module, which meets the adjustment requirements of the vehicle vision system for the shooting angle. Furthermore, by setting the transmission ratio of the worm wheel and the worm gear, the rotation adjustment range of the shooting module is further refined, avoiding the impact of excessively fast power component output speed on adjustment accuracy.

[0023] In one possible implementation, the base has a recessed portion that is recessed in a direction away from the decorative cover plate, and at least a portion of the image acquisition device is housed within the recessed portion.

[0024] Based on the aforementioned technical means, the space formed by the recess allows the main structure of the image acquisition device to sink into the base, reducing the height of the image acquisition device exposed on the outside of the decorative cover plate, thus adapting to narrow installation spaces. Simultaneously, the sidewall of the recess forms a mechanical limiting fit with the outer contour of the image acquisition device, improving its stability.

[0025] According to a second aspect of this application, this application provides a vehicle that includes the mounting structure of the image acquisition device described above.

[0026] Based on the above-mentioned technical means, the installation structure of the vehicle image acquisition device in this application is simple, which improves the vehicle assembly efficiency and reduces the vehicle manufacturing cost.

[0027] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0028] (1) The installation structure of the image acquisition equipment adopts a pre-integrated design of protective cover and decorative cover plate. The base serves as the load-bearing and fixing base, providing mechanical support and circuit connection for the image acquisition equipment. The decorative cover plate has both appearance decoration and positioning reference functions. Its stacked arrangement with the base forms a spatial limiting structure. The protective cover covers the periphery of the through hole, providing dustproof, waterproof and impact-resistant protection for the exposed part of the image acquisition equipment.

[0029] (2) After the image acquisition device and the base are electrically and mechanically connected, the integrated installation module formed by the protective cover and the decorative cover plate can be installed by simply aligning the image acquisition device through the through hole of the decorative cover plate, which simplifies the installation structure and improves the assembly efficiency of the whole vehicle.

[0030] It should be noted that the technical effects of the second implementation method can be found in the technical effects of the corresponding implementation method in the first aspect, and will not be repeated here.

[0031] It should be understood that the above general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only, and do not limit this application. Attached Figure Description

[0042] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of this application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0043] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., used in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of this application described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0044] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 This application provides a vehicle 1, which includes an image acquisition device 300. Figure 1 The mounting structure (not shown) of the image acquisition device 300 is used to mount a camera or webcam.

[0045] It should be noted that this application does not specifically limit the power type of vehicle 1. For example, vehicle 1 provided in this application embodiment can be an electric vehicle, a hybrid electric vehicle, or a solar-powered vehicle. Similarly, this application does not limit the vehicle type of vehicle 1. For example, vehicle 1 provided in this application embodiment can be a sedan, a sport utility vehicle (SUV), or a multi-purpose vehicle (MPV).

[0046] This application does not limit the specific installation location of the mounting structure for the image acquisition device 300. For example, the mounting structure for the image acquisition device 300 is used to mount a camera on the side or top of a vehicle. As another example, the camera mounting structure is used to mount a video camera on the side or top of a vehicle.

[0047] Furthermore, this application does not limit the type of image acquisition device 300 installed in the image acquisition device 300. In this application, it can be a dashcam for vehicle 1, or a surveillance camera for vehicle 1 with sentry mode enabled. Additionally, the image acquisition device 300 in this application can also be an action camera to meet the driving photography needs of drivers and passengers, such as travel photography.

[0048] For ease of explanation, this application uses the mounting structure of the image acquisition device 300 for mounting a motion camera and the mounting structure of the image acquisition device 300 located on the top of the vehicle 1 as an example for illustration.

[0049] Of course, the installation structure of the image acquisition device 300 in this application can also be used in other application scenarios, and this application does not limit it.

[0050] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and combined Figure 5 The mounting structure of the image acquisition device 300 in this application includes a base 100, a mounting structure for the image acquisition device 300, a decorative cover 200, and a protective cover 400. The image acquisition device 300 is connected to the base 100. The decorative cover 200 is stacked on top of the base 100. The decorative cover 200 has a through hole 201. At least a portion of the image acquisition device 300 is positioned on the side of the decorative cover 200 away from the base 100 through the through hole 201. The protective cover 400 is connected to the surface of the decorative cover 200 away from the base 100 and covers at least a portion of the image acquisition device 300. Exemplarily, the protective cover 400 is arranged around the periphery of the through hole 201.

[0051] Taking the image acquisition device 300 installed on the roof of the vehicle as an example, the base 100 of the above-mentioned installation structure can be the crossbeam of the vehicle 1, and the decorative cover 200 can be the vehicle 1 decorative panel installed on the crossbeam of the vehicle 1.

[0052] Based on the above, the installation structure of the image acquisition device 300 in this application adopts a pre-integrated modular design of a protective cover 400 and a decorative cover plate 200, with the base 100 serving as a load-bearing component, thereby realizing the mechanical fixation and electrical connection of the image acquisition device 300.

[0053] For example, the image acquisition device 300 is electrically connected to the power supply of the vehicle 1. As another example, a dedicated power supply for the image acquisition device 300 is provided on the base 100.

[0054] For example, the housing of the image acquisition device 300 is welded to the base 100. For yet another example, the housing of the image acquisition device 300 is snap-fitted to the base 100.

[0055] In addition, the decorative cover plate 200, as an intermediate layer component, forms a two-dimensional planar positioning constraint through its stacked arrangement with the base 100, and provides an appearance decoration function for the image acquisition device 300.

[0056] At least a portion of the image acquisition device 300 is placed on the side of the decorative cover plate 200 away from the base 100 through the through hole 201. This portion is the shooting end of the image acquisition device 300. The protective cover 400 is arranged around the through hole 201 of the decorative cover plate 200 to protect the exposed part of the image acquisition device 300 and achieve dustproof, waterproof and impact-resistant performance.

[0057] During the assembly process, after the image acquisition device 300 completes the basic connection with the base 100, the pre-integrated module composed of the protective cover 400 and the decorative cover plate 200 can be precisely aligned with the image acquisition device 300 through the through hole 201 of the decorative cover plate 200, and quickly complete the installation and fixation with the base 100. This simplifies the installation process of the installation structure and reduces the assembly complexity of the whole vehicle.

[0058] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and combined Figure 4 The base 100 is provided with a recess 101, which is recessed in a direction away from the decorative cover plate 200, and at least a portion of the image acquisition device 300 is housed in the recess 101.

[0059] Based on this, the recess 101 allows the main structure of the image acquisition device 300 to be embedded inside the base 100, reducing the height of the device exposed outside the decorative cover 200. This also prevents the outer surface contour of the vehicle 1 from having a large protrusion, reduces the wind resistance generated by the vehicle 1 during driving, and further enhances the aesthetics of the vehicle 1.

[0060] Furthermore, the mechanical limiting fit between the sidewall of the recessed portion 101 and the outer contour of the image acquisition device 300 further enhances the stability of the image acquisition device 300 installation.

[0061] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 5 and combined Figure 6 The protective cover 400 includes a transparent area 401, and the shooting module 302 includes a shooting end, which is set opposite to the transparent area 401, and the shooting end captures images through the transparent area 401.

[0062] Based on this, after the decorative cover 200 is installed in place, the transparent area 401 of the protective cover 400 is opposite to the shooting end of the shooting module 302, ensuring that the optical path corresponding to the shooting module 302 remains unobstructed through the transparent area 401, thereby ensuring the effective realization of the image acquisition function.

[0063] It should be noted that in this application, the relative arrangement of the shooting end and the transparent area 401 means that the optical axis center line of the optical lens (i.e., the shooting end) of the shooting module 302 is consistent with the geometric center axis of the transparent area 401 of the protective cover 400, and the two are face to face in spatial position, so as to ensure that the imaging light of the shooting end can pass through the transparent area 401, thereby ensuring the clarity and integrity of the image acquisition.

[0064] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 5 and combined Figure 6 The protective cover 400 includes a body, which includes a light-shielding part and a transparent part, with the transparent part forming a transparent area 401.

[0065] Based on this, the transparent part of the main body constitutes a transparent area 401 for the shooting module 302 to perform shooting functions, while the light-blocking part effectively blocks stray light from the environment. The transparent area 401 becomes the only light path for shooting, so that the shooting end only receives the effective light from the target scene, while the blocking effect of the light-blocking part can avoid image overexposure or color distortion caused by unnecessary lighting.

[0066] For example, the body of the protective cover 400 is a single-layer structure, with an opening on the body to form a transparent part, and the solid part of the body forms a light-blocking part.

[0067] In another example, the body of the protective cover 400 has a multi-layer structure, which includes a light-transmitting layer and a light-shielding layer stacked together. The light-transmitting layer is set at the shooting end of the shooting module 302 to form a transparent area 401. The light-shielding layer surrounds the outer perimeter of the light-transmitting layer and blocks stray light from the environment by physically blocking it.

[0068] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 5 and combined Figure 6 The main body includes a transparent cover, which can be transparent glass. The transparent cover is arranged around the periphery of the through hole 201 and is integrally formed with the decorative cover plate 200. The main body also includes a light-shielding layer, which is connected to the surface of the transparent cover away from the through hole 201. The light-shielding layer has an avoidance notch, and the avoidance notch and the area corresponding to the avoidance notch on the transparent cover form a transparent part. The remaining part of the light-shielding layer forms a light-shielding part.

[0069] Based on this, the transparent cover surrounds the through hole 201 and is integrally formed with the decorative cover plate 200, avoiding assembly deviations that may occur with a split structure. The light-shielding layer is connected to the back of the transparent cover, and its clearance notch is precisely aligned with the shooting range of the shooting end, ensuring unobstructed optical path of the shooting end, while the rest of the light-shielding layer effectively blocks ambient stray light from entering from non-imaging directions, reducing interference from other light sources to the shooting end.

[0070] For example, the light-shielding layer can be a light-shielding film, which is attached to the surface of the transparent cover away from the through hole 201 by coating or bonding process. The area that avoids the gap is partially uncoated by the transparent cover to form a light-transmitting channel corresponding to the shooting end of the shooting module 302. The remaining coated area constitutes the light-shielding part, realizing the precise partitioning of light transmission and light-shielding functions.

[0071] Another example is that the light-shielding layer can be a cover body that covers the outside of the transparent cover. The light-shielding layer can be a cover body structure that is independently covered outside the transparent cover. It is made by injection molding or metal stamping process. Its inner wall forms an adaptive covering with the outer contour of the transparent cover. While providing physical shielding, it enhances the overall mechanical strength of the protective cover 400. Its clearance notch can be formed by drilling holes in the cover body.

[0072] In some embodiments, the body includes a light-shielding cover, which is disposed around the periphery of the through hole 201 and is integrally formed with the decorative cover plate 200. The body also includes a transparent layer, which is connected to the surface of the light-shielding cover opposite to the through hole 201. The light-shielding cover is provided with an avoidance notch, and the avoidance notch and the corresponding area of ​​the transparent layer on the light-shielding cover form a transparent portion, while the remaining portion of the light-shielding cover forms a light-shielding portion.

[0073] Based on this, the transparent layer is located on the outside of the light-shielding cover, so that only the light-shielding cover needs to be processed during manufacturing, without the need for additional processing of the transparent layer, effectively simplifying the manufacturing process. At the same time, the light-shielding cover and the decorative cover plate 200 can be made of the same material, thereby reducing material costs and processing complexity.

[0074] In the above technical solutions, please refer to Figure 6 and combined Figure 7 The shape of the transparent area 401 can be flexibly designed according to actual needs: it can be a local hole structure or a strip structure that surrounds the protective cover 400 around a whole or part of the area. This application does not make specific limitations on this, so as to adapt to the optical path design needs in different scenarios.

[0075] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and combined Figure 8 The image acquisition device 300 includes a drive module 301 and an image capture module 302 connected by a drive module 301. The drive module 301 is connected to the base 100. The image capture module 302 is placed on the side of the decorative cover plate 200 away from the base 100 through a through hole 201. A protective cover 400 covers at least part of the image capture module 302.

[0076] Based on this, the drive module 301 is built into the base 100 as a power unit, forming a mechanical transmission link with the exposed shooting module 302. The decorative cover plate 200 can protect the drive module 301 from the influence of the external environment (such as rain, dust, vibration). At the same time, the angle of the shooting module 302 can be adjusted by the power output of the drive module 301 to meet the image acquisition needs in different scenarios.

[0077] The camera module 302 is exposed through the through hole 201, while the protective cover 400 provides it with dustproof, waterproof and impact-resistant protection, effectively extending the service life of the equipment.

[0078] For example, the drive module 301 drives the shooting module 302 to move along the height direction of the vehicle 1. For another example, the drive module 301 drives the shooting module 302 to rotate. Of course, the drive module 301 can also drive the shooting module 302 to make other adjustments to the shooting angle.

[0079] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and combined Figure 8 The drive module 301 includes a power component 3013 and a transmission component that are connected by transmission. The transmission component is also connected to the shooting module 302 by transmission. The power component 3013 is used to drive the transmission component to drive the shooting module 302 to rotate.

[0080] Based on this, the rotational or linear motion output by the power component 3013 in this application is converted into the rotational trajectory required by the shooting module 302 through the mechanical conversion of the transmission component, thereby realizing flexible adjustment of the shooting angle. The transmission component changes the power output speed of the power component 3013 to achieve fine control over the rotational speed of the shooting module 302, thereby meeting the requirements for shooting angle adjustment accuracy in different scenarios.

[0081] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and combined Figure 8 The transmission components include a worm gear 3011 and a worm 3012 that are meshed together. The output end of the power component 3013 is connected to the worm 3012. The worm gear 3011 is connected to the shooting module 302. The power component 3013 can drive the worm 3012 to rotate, so that the worm gear 3011 drives the shooting module 302 to rotate.

[0082] Based on this, the worm gear 3012 is connected to the output end of the power component 3013, and the transmission structure of the worm wheel 3011 and worm gear 3012 meets the driver's and passengers' needs for adjusting the shooting angle. The transmission ratio setting of the worm wheel 3011 and worm gear 3012 can reduce and amplify the output speed of the power component 3013, converting the high-speed rotation of the power component 3013 into the low-speed fine rotation of the shooting module 302, thereby further refining the rotation adjustment range of the shooting module 302.

[0083] For example, the power component 3013 can be a motor. Through the transmission structure of the worm gear 3011 and the worm 3012, the power of the horizontally placed output shaft of the motor can be converted into the vertical rotation trajectory of the shooting module 302. This eliminates the need for additional vertical installation space, reduces the overall height of the image acquisition device 300, and improves its integration and adaptability in confined spaces such as car roofs.

[0084] Of course, the transmission component can also be a gear meshing structure to meet the transmission function of the power component 3013.

[0085] The above are merely specific embodiments of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
