[0033] Rear-view cameras are important in-vehicle electronic devices that play a crucial role in driving safety, accident liability determination, and daily driving recording. However, in actual research and development and production, researchers have found that the images captured by vehicle rear-view cameras are often of poor clarity, making identification difficult. Furthermore, most vehicle rear-view cameras are fixed in place, meaning the camera's shooting angle is fixed. This causes the rear-view camera's field of view to deviate from the target area, resulting in the camera failing to capture the desired footage.

[0034] This utility model proposes a rear-view camera device and a vehicle, aiming to solve the technical problems of unclear recording images and unsatisfactory shooting effects of rear-view camera devices in vehicles.

[0035] Please see Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment of this utility model, the rear-view camera device is applied to the rear of a vehicle. The rear-view camera device includes a housing 100, a camera 200, and a mounting plate 300. The camera 200 has a shooting surface 210. The camera 200 is housed within the housing 100, and the shooting surface 210 is exposed outside the housing 100. The resolution of the camera 200 is 3840×2160 pixels. The mounting plate 300 is disposed on the vehicle, and the housing 100 is rotatably disposed on the mounting plate 300. The housing 100 can be fixed in any position and is disposed at different angles with the mounting plate 300.

[0036] The technical solution of this utility model, by employing a 4K resolution camera 200, can improve the clarity of the images captured by the rear-view camera device. Simultaneously, by allowing the housing 100 to rotate to any position forming different angles with the mounting plate 300 and then fix it, the driver can adjust the shooting angle of the rear-view camera device to ensure it is aimed at the target area and captures the best shooting results. In this embodiment, the camera 200 is used to capture real-time traffic conditions behind the vehicle under different weather conditions. By employing a 3840×2160 pixel resolution camera 200, i.e., a 4K resolution camera 200, the clarity of the images captured by the rear-view camera device under different weather conditions can be improved, thereby enhancing the recognizability of the captured images. The housing 100 is rotatably mounted on the mounting plate 300 and can be rotated to any position with different angles to the mounting plate 300 and then fixed. In actual use, the driver can rotate the housing 100 to adjust the position of the camera 200 housed within it, thereby adjusting the shooting angle of the rear-view camera and aligning it with the target area to obtain the best shooting effect. This rear-view camera is installed at the rear of the vehicle and is applied in the field of vehicle technology. Specifically, the rear-view camera can be installed directly above the vehicle license plate.

[0037] In one embodiment of this utility model, the housing 100 is made of metal. Specifically, compared to other low-resolution cameras 200, the 4K resolution camera 200 generates more heat during operation. By using a metal housing 100 to support the rear-recording camera, the heat dissipation capacity of the rear-recording camera can be improved, ensuring the normal operation of the rear-recording camera. In a specific embodiment, the outer surface of the housing 100 is frosted, which makes the rear-recording camera more aesthetically pleasing.

[0038] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment of this utility model, when the outer casing 100 rotates to fit against the mounting plate 300, the outer casing 100 gradually tapers from the side closer to the mounting plate 300 to the side farther away from the mounting plate 300; the outer casing 100 also gradually tapers from the end farther away from the shooting surface 210 to the end closer to the shooting surface 210. Specifically, by adopting the above-described structural design, the volume of the outer casing 100 can be reduced, thereby reducing the volume of the rear-view camera device, so that the rear-view camera device can be installed on vehicles with narrow rear spaces, increasing the applicability of the rear-view camera device. In a specific embodiment, the cross-section of the outer casing 100 is trapezoidal.

[0039] Please see Figure 1In one embodiment of this utility model, a connecting block 310 is provided on the mounting plate 300, and a fixing block 121 is provided on the outer shell 100. The fixing block 121 is rotatably mounted on the connecting block 310 by bolts or a rotating shaft, and a damping element is provided between the connecting block 310 and the fixing block 121. In this embodiment, the connecting block 310 of the mounting plate 300 and the fixing block 121 of the outer shell 100 are rotatably connected by bolts or a rotating shaft, which has the characteristics of simple structure and convenient manufacturing, and can reduce the manufacturing difficulty of the rear-view camera device; the damping element provided between the connecting block 310 and the fixing block 121 can, on the one hand, make the rotation between the mounting plate 300 and the outer shell 100 more stable, and on the other hand, provide a certain self-locking force when the outer shell 100 stops rotating, thereby allowing the outer shell 100 to be fixed in any position.

[0040] Please see Figure 4 In one embodiment of this utility model, the connecting block 310 includes an extension plate 311 and two bent plates 312 spaced apart from the extension plate 311. A fixing block 121 is rotatably disposed between the two bent plates 312 by bolts or a rotating shaft, and a damping element is provided between the fixing block 121 and both bent plates 312. In this embodiment, the fixing block 121 is disposed between the two bent plates 312, and a damping element is provided between the fixing block 121 and both bent plates 312. By providing two damping elements, the self-locking force when the outer casing 100 stops rotating can be increased. In a specific embodiment, the damping element can be a friction plate or a damping pad.

[0041] Please see Figure 4 In one embodiment of this utility model, the mounting plate 300 is provided with an adhesive layer, which is adhered to the vehicle; and / or, the mounting plate 300 is provided with at least one slotted hole 320. In this embodiment, the mounting plate 300 is installed on the vehicle by adhesive or bolt connection, which can reduce the installation difficulty of the mounting plate 300. Specifically, when installing the rear-view camera device on the vehicle, the user can directly adhere the mounting plate 300 to the vehicle, or bolts can be passed through the slotted hole 320 and connected to the vehicle to ensure that the mounting plate 300 is securely installed.

[0042] Please see Figure 3 In one embodiment of this utility model, the outer casing 100 includes a housing 110 and a cover 120, which together form a receiving cavity 111. The camera 200 is housed in the receiving cavity 111, with its shooting surface 210 exposed to the housing 110. A sealing member 112 is provided between the housing 110 and the cover 120. In this embodiment, the sealing member 112 serves a sealing function, isolating the receiving cavity 111 from the external environment to ensure the normal operation of the rear-recording camera device.

[0043] In one embodiment of this utility model, the housing 110 is provided with a first bending surface, the cover 120 is provided with a second bending surface corresponding to the first bending surface, and the sealing member 112 is disposed between the first bending surface and the second bending surface. In this embodiment, by disposing the sealing member 112 between the first bending surface and the second bending surface, an L-shaped sealing structure can be formed to improve the waterproof performance of the rear-view camera device. Specifically, by disposing the sealing member 112 between the first bending surface and the second bending surface, when the cover 120 is installed on the housing 110, the sealing member 112 will be forced to deform, thereby forming an L-shaped sealing structure; the L-shaped sealing structure can increase the sealing contact area to improve the sealing performance, thereby improving the waterproof performance of the rear-view camera device.

[0044] Please see Figure 3 In one embodiment of this utility model, the rear-view camera device further includes a circuit board assembly 400 and a signal transmission cable 500. A stepped block 113 is provided inside the housing 110, the circuit board assembly 400 is disposed on the stepped block 113, the camera 200 is disposed on the circuit board assembly 400, and the signal transmission cable 500 passes through the housing 110 and is electrically connected to the circuit board assembly 400. In this embodiment, the signal transmission cable 500 is connected to the vehicle's main unit and used for transmitting information. The circuit board assembly 400 is installed on the stepped block 113 with screws. In a specific embodiment, a pre-positioning rod is provided on the stepped block 113, and the circuit board assembly 400 is provided with a pre-positioning hole, in which the pre-positioning rod passes. This allows for pre-positioning of the circuit board assembly 400 during installation, which improves the accuracy of the installation position and reduces the installation difficulty.

[0045] This utility model also proposes a vehicle that includes a rear-view camera device. The specific structure of the rear-view camera device is as described in the above embodiments. Since the vehicle adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.
