[0030] Example 1
[0031] like Figure 1-3 As shown in the figure, the unmanned mining truck support provided in this embodiment includes a camera support, which includes an adjustment bracket 1 and a mounting bracket 2. The adjustment bracket 1 has a fixing hole 11 and an adjustment hole 12 on both sides, and the adjustment hole 12 is an arc-shaped waist hole. The mounting bracket 2 is mounted on the adjustment bracket 1. The mounting bracket 2 has a first mounting hole 221 and a second mounting hole 222 on both sides, corresponding to the fixing hole 11 and the adjustment hole 12, respectively. The camera is mounted on the mounting bracket 2.
[0032] Based on the above structure, the camera is installed by adjusting bracket 1 and mounting bracket 2. The camera is installed on mounting bracket 2, completing the assembly of the autonomous driving camera. Mounting bracket 2 can adjust the front and rear angle of the camera according to the adjustment hole 12 opened on adjusting bracket 1, so that the installation position of the camera can be adjusted according to actual needs, meeting the actual needs of different vehicle models, working conditions, etc., and improving the rationality of camera layout.
[0033] like Figure 4 As shown, the autonomous driving brackets are all installed on the rear combination light cover, which has multiple holes to adjust the camera brackets as needed.
