[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle technology, specifically to a bracket structure, a glass assembly, and a vehicle. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of vehicle technology, the application of Advanced Driving Assistance Systems (ADAS) is becoming increasingly widespread. ADAS cameras typically need to be mounted on the vehicle's windshield using a bracket. However, in some technologies, the bracket cannot provide adequate heat dissipation for the ADAS camera, and manufacturing errors can easily cause significant angular deflection of the camera after installation, thus affecting its field of view. Utility Model Content
[0003] This application provides a bracket structure, glass assembly, and vehicle that can provide a good heat dissipation channel for ADAS cameras and reduce the deflection angle of ADAS cameras after installation in a vehicle.
[0004] On one hand, this application provides a support structure for supporting a camera structure, including:
[0005] The support portion has a support surface for facing the side where the camera structure is located;
[0006] A honeycomb section is disposed on the support section, wherein the orthographic projection of the honeycomb section on the support surface is at least partially coincident with the orthographic projection of the camera structure on the support surface. The honeycomb section includes a plurality of honeycomb cells, each of the honeycomb cells including a honeycomb sidewall and a honeycomb cavity formed by the honeycomb sidewall.
[0007] In one possible implementation, the carrier portion is formed with a camera window, and the honeycomb portion is disposed around the camera window.
[0008] In one possible implementation, the cell sidewalls of two adjacent cell cells are connected.
[0009] In one possible implementation, two adjacent cellular cells share a portion of the cellular sidewall.
[0010] In one possible implementation, the honeycomb portion extends through the support portion, or the honeycomb portion protrudes from the support surface.
[0011] In one possible implementation, the width of the cell sidewall is greater than or equal to 1.5 mm; and / or, the height of the cell sidewall is less than or equal to 100 mm; and / or, the cross-sectional shape of the cell unit is polygonal.
[0012] In one possible implementation, the support structure further includes at least one heat dissipation section disposed on the honeycomb section for dissipating heat from the camera structure.
[0013] In one possible implementation, the bracket structure further includes at least one snap-fit portion for engaging with the camera structure; and / or, the bracket structure further includes at least one reinforcing portion for increasing the strength of the bracket structure; and / or, the bracket structure further includes an optical lifting portion having at least one light-reflecting surface, the orientation of which is opposite to the orientation of the bearing surface.
[0014] On the other hand, this application also provides a glass assembly, including a glass body and the aforementioned support structure, wherein the support structure is disposed on the inner surface of the glass body.
[0015] Furthermore, this application also provides a vehicle, including a camera structure, a body assembly, and the aforementioned bracket structure.
[0016] The support structure provided in this application includes a support portion and a honeycomb portion. The support portion has a support surface facing the side where the camera structure is located. The honeycomb portion is disposed on the support portion. The orthographic projection of the honeycomb portion on the support surface is designed to at least partially coincide with the orthographic projection of the camera structure on the support surface. The honeycomb portion includes multiple honeycomb units. Each honeycomb unit includes honeycomb sidewalls and honeycomb cavities formed by the honeycomb sidewalls. Thus, the design of the honeycomb portion improves the overall deformation resistance of the support structure, thereby reducing the deflection angle of the camera structure after it is mounted on the vehicle. Furthermore, the multiple honeycomb sidewalls provide more conductive surfaces for heat dissipation of the camera structure, i.e., they can provide a good heat dissipation channel for the camera structure, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the camera structure.

The appearance of this phrase in various places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same implementation, nor is it a mutually exclusive, independent, or alternative implementation. Those skilled in the art will explicitly and implicitly understand that the implementations described in this application can be combined with other implementations.
[0034] The terms “comprising” and “having”, and any variations thereof, in the specification and claims of this application are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, an assembly or device that includes one or more components is not limited to the one or more components listed, but may optionally include one or more components that are not listed but are inherent to the exemplified product, or one or more components that it should have based on the described function.
[0035] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a support structure 100 provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 for Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the assembly of the support structure 100 and the camera structure 200. Figure 3 for Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a camera structure 200 mounted on a support structure 100. The support structure 100 is used to support the camera structure 200. The support structure 100 includes a support portion 10 and a honeycomb portion 20.
[0036] The support portion 10 has a support surface 101 facing the side of the camera structure 200. In one possible embodiment, the support portion 10 can be a plate-shaped support portion. Specifically, when divided by the shape of the support surface 101, the support portion 10 includes, but is not limited to, a flat plate-shaped support portion or an arc-shaped plate-shaped support portion; when divided by the overall shape of the support portion 10, the support portion 10 includes, but is not limited to, a regular plate-shaped support portion or an irregular plate-shaped support portion.
[0037] In this embodiment, an irregularly shaped flat support portion is used as an example. The length direction of the support portion 10 can be referred to as the X-axis direction shown in the accompanying drawings, the width direction of the support portion 10 can be referred to as the Y-axis direction shown in the accompanying drawings, and the thickness direction of the support portion 10 can be referred to as the Z-axis direction shown in the accompanying drawings.
[0038] The honeycomb portion 20 is disposed on the supporting portion 10. Optionally, the honeycomb portion 20 and the supporting portion 10 are integrally formed, or the honeycomb portion 20 and the supporting portion 10 are formed separately, and then the honeycomb portion 20 is fixed to the supporting portion 10. The integral forming of the honeycomb portion 20 and the supporting portion 10 includes, but is not limited to, integral injection molding. The methods by which the honeycomb portion 20 is fixed to the supporting portion 10 include, but are not limited to, one or more of the following fixing connection methods such as bonding, welding, threaded connection, and snap-fit connection. In the following embodiments, unless otherwise specified, the integral forming of the honeycomb portion 20 and the supporting portion 10 is taken as an example.
[0039] The orthographic projection of the honeycomb portion 20 on the support surface 101 is designed to at least partially coincide with the orthographic projection of the camera structure 200 on the support surface 101. In one possible embodiment, the orthographic projection of the honeycomb portion 20 on the support surface 101 may completely coincide with the orthographic projection of the camera structure 200 on the support surface 101. In another possible embodiment, the orthographic projection of the honeycomb portion 20 on the support surface 101 may cover the orthographic projection of the camera structure 200 on the support surface 101, that is, the projection area of the honeycomb portion 20 is larger than the projection area of the camera structure 200. In a third possible embodiment, the orthographic projection of the honeycomb portion 20 on the support surface 101 may partially coincide with the orthographic projection of the camera structure 200 on the support surface 101. Here, the orthographic projection of the camera structure 200 on the support surface 101 refers to the orthographic projection of the camera structure 200 on the support surface 101 when the camera structure 200 is mounted and fixed on the bracket structure 100. Understandably, when the camera structure 200 is mounted on the bracket structure 100, at least a portion of the honeycomb portion 20 is positioned directly opposite to at least a portion of the camera structure 200. In other words, when the camera structure 200 is mounted on the bracket structure 100, at least a portion of the honeycomb portion 20 is located directly below the camera structure 200.
[0040] By making the orthographic projection of the honeycomb section 20 on the bearing surface 101 at least partially coincide with the orthographic projection of the camera structure 200 on the bearing surface 101, it is beneficial to achieve the support of the honeycomb section 20 for the camera structure 200, and it is also beneficial to make the heat generated by the camera structure 200 during use more quickly conduct to the honeycomb section 20 so that it can be dissipated through the honeycomb section 20.
[0041] In this application, the larger the area where the orthographic projection of the honeycomb section 20 on the bearing surface 101 overlaps with the orthographic projection of the camera structure 200 on the bearing surface 101, the better the support performance of the bracket structure 100 for the camera structure 200, and the faster the heat generated by the camera structure 200 can be dissipated through the honeycomb section 20.
[0042] In one possible embodiment, when the camera structure 200 is mounted on the bracket structure 100, the top surface of the honeycomb portion 20 can contact the camera structure 200. In this embodiment, the design of the honeycomb portion 20 ensures that it provides effective support for the camera structure 200 and good heat dissipation, while also limiting the camera structure 200 along the thickness direction of the supporting portion 10, thereby reducing the deflection of the camera structure 200 after installation. Of course, in other possible embodiments, when the camera structure 200 is mounted on the bracket structure 100, the top surface of the honeycomb portion 20 can be spaced at a small distance from the camera structure 200.
[0043] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 The cellular section 20 includes a plurality of cellular cells 201. It is understood that the number of cellular cells 201 is greater than or equal to two. This application does not specifically limit the number of cellular cells 201. Exemplarily, the number of cellular cells 201 can be 5, 7, 10, 15, 20, 26, 30, 34, or 50, etc. Adjacent cellular cells 201 can be connected or spaced apart.
[0044] In one possible embodiment, the plurality of cellular cells 201 may include a plurality of cellular cells 201 arranged sequentially along the length direction of the support portion 10 and a plurality of cellular cells 201 arranged sequentially along the width direction of the support portion 10. In other words, the plurality of cellular cells 201 may be arranged in an array. The number of rows in the array may be greater than or equal to two, the number of columns in the array may be greater than or equal to two, the number of rows and columns in the array may be the same or different, the number of cellular cells 201 in each row of the array may be the same or different, and the number of cellular cells 201 in each column of the array may be the same or different.
[0045] Each of the cellular units 201 includes a cellular sidewall 210 and a cellular cavity 211 formed by the cellular sidewall 210. The cellular sidewall 210 includes, but is not limited to, a circular sidewall, a triangular sidewall, a quadrilateral sidewall, a pentagonal sidewall, a hexagonal sidewall, or other polygonal sidewalls. The cellular cavity 211 includes, but is not limited to, a circular cavity, a triangular cavity, a quadrilateral cavity, a pentagonal cavity, a hexagonal cavity, or other polygonal cavities. The cellular sidewall 210 may protrude relative to the bearing surface 101 of the bearing portion 10, or it may be embedded within the bearing portion 10.
[0046] The bracket structure 100 provided in this application includes a support portion 10 and a honeycomb portion 20. The support portion 10 has a support surface 101 facing the side where the camera structure 200 is located. The honeycomb portion 20 is disposed on the support portion 10. The orthographic projection of the honeycomb portion 20 on the support surface 101 is at least partially overlapped with the orthographic projection of the camera structure 200 on the support surface 101. The honeycomb portion 20 includes a plurality of honeycomb cells 201. Each honeycomb cell 201 includes a honeycomb sidewall 210 and a honeycomb cavity 211 formed by the honeycomb sidewall 210. Thus, the design of the honeycomb portion 20 improves the overall deformation resistance of the bracket structure 100, thereby reducing the deflection angle of the camera structure 200 after it is mounted on the vehicle. Furthermore, the plurality of honeycomb sidewalls 210 provide more conductive surfaces for the heat dissipation of the camera structure 200, that is, they can provide a good heat dissipation channel for the camera structure 200, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the camera structure 200.
[0047] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 5 As shown, the carrier portion 10 has a camera window 102, and the honeycomb portion 20 is arranged around the camera window 102.
[0048] The camera window 102 can be a through-hole penetrating the support portion 10. The camera window 102 is light-transmitting. When the camera structure 200 is mounted on the support structure 100, it acquires field-of-view information through the camera window 102. In one possible embodiment, the camera window 102 has a first window edge and a second window edge arranged opposite each other along the length direction of the support portion 10, and a third window edge and a fourth window edge arranged opposite each other along the width direction of the support portion 10. The honeycomb portion 20 can be arranged around one, two, three, or four of the first, second, third, and fourth window edges. It is understood that in embodiments where the honeycomb portion 20 surrounds one, two, or three of the first, second, third, and fourth window edges, the honeycomb portion 20 forms a semi-enclosure around the camera window 102. In embodiments where the honeycomb portion 20 surrounds the first, second, third, and fourth window edges, the honeycomb portion 20 surrounds the camera window 102 circumferentially.
[0049] By arranging the honeycomb section 20 around the camera window 102, when the camera structure 200 is mounted on the support structure 100, the overlapping area of the orthographic projection of the honeycomb section 20 on the bearing surface 101 and the orthographic projection of the camera structure 200 on the bearing surface 101 is larger, which helps to improve the support, heat dissipation and limiting effect of the support structure 100 on the camera structure 200.
[0050] In one possible implementation, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The cell sidewalls 210 of two adjacent cell units 201 are connected.
[0051] Optionally, the cell sidewalls 210 of two adjacent cell units 201 are directly connected, or the cell sidewalls 210 of two adjacent cell units 201 are indirectly connected.
[0052] In embodiments where the cell sidewalls 210 of two adjacent cell units 201 are directly connected, the two adjacent cell units 201 share a portion of the cell sidewalls 210. In embodiments where the cell sidewalls 210 of two adjacent cell units 201 are indirectly connected, the two adjacent cell units 201 can be connected by a connecting wall, which includes, but is not limited to, a straight connecting wall, a curved connecting wall, or a bent connecting wall.
[0053] By connecting the cell sidewalls 210 of two adjacent cell units 201, the overall compressive strength and deformation resistance of the cell section 20 can be improved, and the cell section 20 can effectively distribute the force under the action of external force, thereby improving the reliability of the support structure 100.
[0054] In one possible implementation, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 Two adjacent cellular cells 201 share a portion of the cellular sidewall 210.
[0055] In one possible embodiment, the cell sidewall 210 of the cell cell 201 is a circular sidewall. In this embodiment, two adjacent cell cells 201 may share one-quarter, one-half, or one-eighth of the cell sidewall 210, etc.
[0056] In another possible embodiment, the cell sidewall 210 of the cell unit 201 is a polygonal sidewall. In this embodiment, the cell sidewall 210 of each cell unit 201 includes a plurality of sub-cell sidewalls connected end to end, and two adjacent cell units 201 may share a sub-cell sidewall.
[0057] By having two adjacent cellular units 201 share a portion of the cellular sidewall 210, the overall compressive strength and deformation resistance of the cellular section 20 can be improved, as well as the overall structural compactness of the cellular section 20 can be enhanced.
[0058] Optional, such as Figure 5 As shown, the honeycomb portion 20 penetrates the supporting portion 10, or the honeycomb portion 20 protrudes from the supporting surface 101.
[0059] In one possible implementation, the honeycomb section 20 penetrates the support section 10. In this embodiment, the honeycomb sidewalls 210 of the honeycomb cells 201 are all embedded in the support section 10. The top surface of the honeycomb sidewall 210 may be flush with the support surface 101 or recessed relative to the support surface 101. The bottom surface of the honeycomb sidewall 210 may be flush with the surface of the honeycomb section 20 opposite to the support surface 101 or recessed relative to the surface of the honeycomb section 20 opposite to the support surface 101. In the embodiment where the top surface of the honeycomb sidewall 210 is flush with the support surface 101 and the bottom surface of the honeycomb sidewall 210 is flush with the surface of the honeycomb section 20 opposite to the support surface 101, the opening on one side of the honeycomb cavity 211 is located on the support surface 101, and the opening on the other side is located on the surface of the honeycomb section 20 opposite to the support surface 101.
[0060] By allowing the honeycomb portion 20 to penetrate the bearing portion 10, it is beneficial to achieve a lightweight support structure 100. In this way, the support structure 100 can maintain high strength while significantly reducing its own weight, and the flatness of the bearing surface 101 of the support structure 100 and the surface of the bearing portion 10 away from the bearing surface 101 can be improved.
[0061] In another possible implementation, the honeycomb portion 20 protrudes from the bearing surface 101. In this embodiment, the top surface of the honeycomb sidewall 210 of the honeycomb unit 201 protrudes relative to the bearing surface 101, the bottom surface of the honeycomb sidewall 210 is located on the bearing surface 101, and the opening of the honeycomb cavity 211 is flush with the top surface of the honeycomb sidewall 210.
[0062] By making the honeycomb portion 20 protrude from the bearing surface 101, both the bearing portion 10 and the honeycomb portion 20 of the bracket structure 100 support the camera structure 200, thus ensuring the support effect of the bracket structure 100 on the camera structure 200.
[0063] Optional, such as Figure 4 As shown, the width of the honeycomb sidewall 210 is greater than or equal to 1.5 mm; and / or, the height of the honeycomb sidewall 210 is less than or equal to 100 mm; and / or, the cross-sectional shape of the honeycomb cell 201 is polygonal.
[0064] In one possible implementation, the width of the cell sidewall 210 is greater than or equal to 1.5 mm. The width of the cell sidewall 210 can be referenced in the appendix. Figure 4 As shown in W1. Optionally, the width of the cell sidewall 210 can be greater than or equal to 1.5 mm and less than 5 mm; or, the width of the cell sidewall 210 can be greater than or equal to 5 mm. Exemplarily, in an embodiment where the width of the cell sidewall 210 is greater than or equal to 1.5 mm and less than or equal to 5 mm, the width of the cell sidewall 210 can be 1.5 mm, or 1.7 mm, or 1.9 mm, or 2 mm, or 2.1 mm, or 2.5 mm, or 2.8 mm, or 3 mm, or 3.2 mm, or 3.4 mm, or 3.9 mm, or 4 mm, or 4.3 mm, or 4.6 mm, or 4.7 mm, or 4.9 mm, etc. For example, in an embodiment where the width of the cell sidewall 210 is greater than or equal to 5 mm, the width of the cell sidewall 210 can be 5 mm, or 5.1 mm, or 5.2 mm, or 5.3 mm, or 5.4 mm, or 5.5 mm, or 5.6 mm, etc.
[0065] By making the width of the honeycomb sidewall 210 greater than or equal to 1.5 mm, it is beneficial to increase the contact area between the support structure 100 and the camera structure 200, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the camera structure 200. Simultaneously, the greater the width of the honeycomb sidewall 210, the stronger its resistance to deformation, which is beneficial for withstanding greater external forces. Furthermore, in the embodiment where the honeycomb portion 20 and the supporting portion 10 are integrally injection molded, a width of the honeycomb sidewall 210 greater than or equal to 1.5 mm also helps to reduce the design and processing difficulty of the injection mold.
[0066] In another possible implementation, the height of the cell sidewall 210 is less than or equal to 100 mm. The height of the cell sidewall 210 can be referenced in the appendix. Figure 4As shown in H1. Optionally, the height of the cell sidewall 210 can be greater than or equal to 1 mm and less than 50 mm; or, the width of the cell sidewall 210 can be greater than or equal to 50 mm and less than or equal to 100 mm. Exemplarily, in embodiments where the height of the cell sidewall 210 is greater than or equal to 1 mm and less than 50 mm, the height of the cell sidewall 210 can be 1 mm, or 5 mm, or 7 mm, or 10 mm, or 15 mm, or 18 mm, or 20 mm, or 25 mm, or 27 mm, or 30 mm, or 32 mm, or 34 mm, or 40 mm, or 44 mm, or 47 mm, or 49 mm, etc. Exemplarily, in embodiments where the width of the cell sidewall 210 is greater than or equal to 50 mm and less than or equal to 100 mm, the height of the cell sidewall 210 can be 50 mm, or 53 mm, or 57 mm, or 60 mm, or 70 mm, or 80 mm, or 90 mm, etc.
[0067] The greater the height of the honeycomb sidewall 210, the deeper the heat dissipation conduction channel of the camera structure 200, which is equivalent to increasing the heat dissipation area and improving the heat dissipation effect of the camera structure 200. In addition, the height design of the honeycomb sidewall 210 is also conducive to matching the tilt angle of the camera structure 200, so that the honeycomb unit 201 and the camera structure 200 can fit better, further improving the heat conduction effect. Therefore, while ensuring good assembly of the camera structure 200, the height of the honeycomb sidewall 210 can be designed to be relatively large. However, in order to ensure both heat dissipation and assembly stability of the camera structure 200, the height of the honeycomb sidewall 210 is preferably less than or equal to 100mm.
[0068] In the third possible implementation, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The cross-sectional shape of the cellular unit 201 is polygonal.
[0069] Understandably, the cross-sectional shape of the cellular unit 201 can be triangular, quadrilateral, pentagonal, hexagonal, octagonal, etc. In an embodiment where the cross-sectional shape of the cellular unit 201 is triangular, the cellular sidewall 210 is a triangular sidewall, and the cellular cavity 211 is a triangular cavity. In an embodiment where the cross-sectional shape of the cellular unit 201 is quadrilateral, the cellular sidewall 210 is a quadrilateral sidewall, and the cellular cavity 211 is a quadrilateral cavity. In an embodiment where the cross-sectional shape of the cellular unit 201 is pentagonal, the cellular sidewall 210 is a pentagonal sidewall, and the cellular cavity 211 is a pentagonal cavity. In an embodiment where the cross-sectional shape of the cellular unit 201 is hexagonal, the cellular sidewall 210 is a hexagonal sidewall, and the cellular cavity 211 is a hexagonal cavity. In an embodiment where the cross-sectional shape of the cellular unit 201 is octagonal, the cellular sidewall 210 is an octagonal sidewall, and the cellular cavity 211 is an octagonal cavity.
[0070] In embodiments where the cross-sectional shape of the cell unit 201 is triangular, the support structure 100 adds three cell sidewalls 210, forming three internal heat dissipation facades and three external heat dissipation facades. In embodiments where the cross-sectional shape of the cell unit 201 is quadrilateral, the support structure 100 adds four cell sidewalls 210, forming four internal heat dissipation facades and four external heat dissipation facades. In embodiments where the cross-sectional shape of the cell unit 201 is pentagonal, the support structure 100 adds five cell sidewalls 210, forming five internal heat dissipation facades and five external heat dissipation facades. In embodiments where the cross-sectional shape of the cell unit 201 is hexagonal, the support structure 100 adds six cell sidewalls 210, forming six internal heat dissipation facades and six external heat dissipation facades. In embodiments where the cross-sectional shape of the cell unit 201 is octagonal, the support structure 100 adds eight cell sidewalls 210, forming eight internal heat dissipation facades and eight external heat dissipation facades.
[0071] Understandably, by making the cross-sectional shape of the honeycomb unit 201 polygonal, the heat dissipation surface of the honeycomb part 20 for dissipating heat from the camera structure 200 can be increased, which is conducive to the faster dissipation of heat from the camera structure 200 and avoids the situation where the camera structure 200 is unusable due to the influence of the external environment.
[0072] In one possible implementation, please refer to Figures 8 to 10 The bracket structure 100 further includes at least one heat dissipation part 30, which is disposed on the honeycomb part 20 and is used to dissipate heat from the camera structure 200.
