Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle-mounted camera technology, specifically to a horizontally movable vehicle-mounted camera structure. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous improvement of automotive intelligent technology research, cameras are gradually being widely used in cars, mainly including reversing rearview cameras and surveillance cameras. For example, by installing a reversing rearview camera at the back of the car, the camera captures video images and transmits them to the in-vehicle host display screen for display, allowing the driver to see the status behind the car. Surveillance cameras can be used for theft prevention, so in-vehicle cameras are being used by more and more users.

[0003] However, existing vehicle-mounted cameras have fixed camera modules, resulting in a small field of view (FOV) and insufficient cabin monitoring. Conversely, some vehicle-mounted cameras use modules with large FOVs, leading to excessive distortion and severe deformation around the perimeter. Furthermore, the internal components of existing vehicle-mounted cameras have poor vibration damping performance. Therefore, we propose a novel horizontally movable vehicle-mounted camera structure. Utility Model Content

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

Multiple foam pads are used to press down on each connector to prevent connector detachment and device malfunction on bumpy roads. Furthermore, the RFPC can be used to rotate the Z-axis FPC on the camera module assembly to a horizontal direction, preventing interference or excessive bending of the Z-axis FPC during horizontal movement, which could lead to breakage.

[0017] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "upper," "lower," "inner," "outer," "front end," "rear end," "both ends," "one end," and "the other end," etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship, are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0018] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installed," "equipped with," "connected," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connection" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0019] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a horizontally movable vehicle-mounted camera structure, comprising: a motor assembly 1, with a slider inside the motor assembly 1 and a rectangular through hole on the slider; and a camera module assembly 2, the bottom of which is fixedly connected to the motor assembly 1 by two screws. An FPC on the camera module assembly 2 passes through the rectangular through hole on the slider inside the motor assembly 1 to the outside. In use, after powering on the main board 9, the stepper motor inside the motor assembly 1 rotates, causing the lead screw to rotate. The rotation of the lead screw drives the slider to move horizontally, thus enabling the camera module assembly 2 to achieve precise horizontal movement. The horizontal movement stroke of the camera module assembly 2 can be designed as needed, effectively solving the problem of insufficient cabin monitoring due to a small FOV (Field of View), while also avoiding excessive distortion caused by a large FOV, resulting in severe deformation around the perimeter. This module can be installed in the passenger seat or center console position, monitoring the actions of occupants and ensuring safe driving. The FPC in the bending area of ​​the camera module assembly 2 can withstand more than 100,000 bends. The FPC has single-sided wiring and a thickness of 0.05-0.06mm. To ensure EMC, conductive cloth can also be attached to the FPC. PCB-B board 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the slider inside the motor assembly 1 by screws 10. RFPC5 is set as a rigid-flex board, and the connector at one end of RFPC5 is fastened to the connector on PCB-B board 3. Connector cover plate 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of PCB-B board 3 by two screws 10. Main board 9 is fixedly connected to the top side of the motor assembly 1 by three screws 10.

[0020] Specifically, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the connector of the camera module assembly 2 is fastened to the connector of the PCB-B board 3.

[0021] One end of RFPC5 is connected to the connector on PCB-B board 3, and the other end of RFPC5 is connected to the motherboard 9. RFPC5 facilitates the conversion of the Z-axis FPC on the camera module assembly 2 to a horizontal direction, thereby avoiding interference or breakage caused by excessive bending of the Z-axis FPC during horizontal movement.

[0022] The FPC of the motor assembly 1 is plugged into the connector of the mainboard 9.

[0023] Foam 1 (4) is fixedly connected to the top of PCB-B board 3, foam 2 (6) is fixedly connected to the inside of connector cover plate 7, and foam 3 (8) is symmetrically fixedly connected to one side of the top of motor assembly 1. The main purpose of setting foam 1 (4), foam 2 (6), and foam 3 (8) is to press the connector with soft contact to prevent the connector from falling off and causing the device to malfunction when the car is on bumpy roads.

[0024] It should be noted that this utility model is a horizontally movable vehicle-mounted camera structure. In use, after powering on the mainboard 9, the stepper motor inside the drive motor assembly 1 rotates, driving the lead screw to rotate. The rotation of the lead screw then drives the slider to move horizontally, allowing the camera module assembly 2 to achieve precise horizontal movement. The horizontal movement stroke of the camera module assembly 2 can be designed as needed, effectively solving the problem of insufficient cabin monitoring caused by a small FOV (Field of View), while also avoiding excessive distortion caused by a large FOV, resulting in severe deformation around the perimeter. This module can be installed in the passenger seat or center console position, monitoring the actions of occupants and ensuring safe driving.
