Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of vehicle-mounted FPC technology, and in particular relates to a quick-installation structure for vehicle-mounted optical FPC. Background Technology

[0002] Automotive optical FPC is a type of flexible circuit board designed specifically for automotive optical systems. It is made of flexible materials and can be bent, folded, and rolled up at will. It can move and stretch freely in three-dimensional space without being broken, adapting to the complex spatial layout of the vehicle. It is mainly used to connect and support devices such as automotive cameras, lidar, and optical sensors, ensuring the stability and reliability of signal transmission. It is an indispensable component in modern automotive electronic systems.

[0003] The connectors of automotive optical FPCs are usually exposed, which makes them susceptible to impact and detachment, causing the connection between two automotive optical FPCs to break and affecting the stability of the automotive optical FPC's operation. To address this, we propose a quick-installation structure for automotive optical FPCs. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a quick-installation structure for automotive optical FPCs. By setting up a quick-installation mechanism, specifically pulling a semi-circular handle causes a rounded-corner pull rod to move a square sliding plate upwards, which then compresses a telescopic spring. When the semi-circular handle is released, the rounded-corner pull rod, under the rebound of the telescopic spring, passes through the insertion protrusion and reconnects to the component housing. This enhances the protection of the automotive FPC module connection, preventing it from breaking due to impact, and ensuring the stability of the automotive FPC module's operation. It also solves the problem that the joints of existing automotive optical FPCs are usually exposed, making them susceptible to detachment due to impact, thus breaking the connection between two automotive optical FPCs and affecting their operational stability.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] This utility model is a quick-installation structure for vehicle-mounted optical FPCs, including a vehicle-mounted FPC module, and further comprising:

[0007] A quick-installation mechanism is installed on top of the vehicle-mounted FPC module and is used to protect the connection points of the vehicle-mounted FPC module.

[0008] The mounting mechanism is installed at the bottom of the vehicle-mounted FPC module. The mounting mechanism is used to fix the vehicle-mounted FPC module and the quick-installation mechanism to the top of the mounting mechanism, thereby installing the vehicle-mounted FPC module and the quick-installation mechanism in a designated position.

[0009] The quick-installation mechanism can quickly connect two vehicle-mounted FPC modules together during the plug-in process.

[0010] Furthermore, the quick-installation mechanism includes a plug-in assembly, which is divided into two groups, left and right. The two groups of plug-in assemblies are respectively installed on the left and right sides of the vehicle FPC module. The installation between the two vehicle FPC modules can be completed by inserting the right plug-in assembly into the left plug-in assembly.

[0011] A quick-connect assembly is mounted on the outside of a plug-in assembly, and the quick-connect assembly is capable of installing two plug-in assemblies together by springback reset;

[0012] Specifically, after the two plug-in components are plugged together, the connection between the plug-in components can be reinforced by the quick-installation component to ensure the connection effect between the two plug-in components.

[0013] Furthermore, the mounting mechanism includes a pre-installed component, which is installed at the bottom of the vehicle-mounted FPC module and is used to define the installation area of ​​the vehicle-mounted FPC module;

[0014] The mounting component is installed at the bottom of the pre-installed component and is used to install the vehicle-mounted FPC module together with the pre-installed component;

[0015] The mounting component is used to mount the vehicle-mounted FPC module on top of a previously installed pre-installed component.

[0016] Furthermore, the plug-in assembly includes a plug-in protrusion and a protrusion side plate. The plug-in protrusion is installed on the left side of the vehicle-mounted FPC module, and the protrusion side plate is installed on the right side of the vehicle-mounted FPC module. A rounded corner plug is installed on the right side of the protrusion side plate.

[0017] Both the insertion protrusion and the rounded corner plug are arranged in a U-shape, which can increase the friction between the insertion parts of the insertion protrusion and the rounded corner plug, making it difficult for the insertion protrusion and the rounded corner plug to separate.

[0018] The plug-in protrusion has an annular groove on its left side. The annular groove of the plug-in protrusion is adapted to the rounded corner plug, so that when the plug-in protrusion and the rounded corner plug are plugged together, the two vehicle FPC modules on the left and right sides can be connected in series.

[0019] Furthermore, the quick-installation assembly includes two component housings, which are respectively installed on the front and back of the insertion protrusion. A square groove is formed in the center of the interior of each component housing. A rounded corner pull rod is installed inside the square groove. A semi-circular handle is installed on the top of the rounded corner pull rod. A square sliding plate is provided on the top of the square groove. A telescopic spring is installed at the bottom of the square groove. The bottom of the telescopic spring is installed together with the inner surface of the bottom of the square groove. An insertion protrusion is inserted into the bottom of the component housing. The side of the insertion protrusion away from the component housing is installed together with the side plate of the protrusion.

[0020] The right end of the plug-in protrusion is provided with an arc groove. The arc groove of the plug-in protrusion is adapted to the outer surface of the rounded corner tie rod, so that the plug-in protrusion can pass through the arc groove of the plug-in protrusion to connect the plug-in protrusion to the component shell.

[0021] The top of the rounded corner tie rod extends upward through the component housing and is slidably connected, so that when the rounded corner tie rod rebounds, it can drive the rounded corner tie rod to reset along the inner surface of the component housing where it is penetrated.

[0022] Furthermore, the pre-installed component includes a component base plate, which is disposed at the bottom of the vehicle-mounted FPC module. Several spring clip housings are installed on the top of the component base plate, and the several spring clip housings are arranged in a horizontal array with the component base plate as the center.

[0023] By setting the threaded groove of the square and round protrusion, the component base plate can be fixed to the object when the square and round protrusion is passed through by the bolt. The component base plate is made of silicone material and can be deformed to a certain extent.

[0024] The outer surface of the component base plate is equipped with several square and round protrusions, and the center of each square and round protrusion has a threaded groove for using screws to install the component base plate in the planned position.

[0025] Furthermore, the mounting assembly includes several irregularly shaped spring clips, all of which are mounted on the bottom inner surface of the spring clip housing, and irregularly shaped inserts are inserted into the inner surface of the irregularly shaped spring clips.

[0026] The irregularly shaped spring is made of spring steel, which gives it a certain deformation capacity, allowing the irregularly shaped insert to be inserted into the interior of the spring.

[0027] The top of the irregularly shaped insert is installed together with the bottom of the component base plate. When the irregularly shaped insert is inserted into the bottom of the irregularly shaped spring, it will push the irregularly shaped spring to deflect so that the irregularly shaped insert can be inserted smoothly. After the irregularly shaped insert is fully inserted, it will be tightly attached to the inner surface of the irregularly shaped spring, making it difficult to separate.

[0028] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0029] 1. This utility model incorporates a quick-installation mechanism. Specifically, pulling the semi-circular handle causes the rounded corner pull rod to move the square slide upwards, which in turn compresses the telescopic spring. This allows the rounded corner pull rod to reconnect to the component housing via the plug-in protrusion under the rebound of the telescopic spring when the semi-circular handle is released. This enhances the protection of the connection point of the vehicle-mounted FPC module, prevents the connection point from being disconnected due to collision, and ensures the stability of the vehicle-mounted FPC module's operation.

[0030] 2. This utility model, by setting up an installation mechanism, specifically involves taking out the component base plate and placing it on the planned area, then taking out the vehicle-mounted FPC module and aligning it with the component base plate, aligning the irregularly shaped insert with the irregularly shaped spring, and then moving the irregularly shaped insert downwards to insert it into the interior of the irregularly shaped spring. In this way, the vehicle-mounted FPC module can be quickly installed on the pre-planned area, improving the installation efficiency of the vehicle-mounted FPC module.

[0031] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0041] Please see Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model is a quick-installation structure for vehicle-mounted optical FPCs, including a vehicle-mounted FPC module 1, and further comprising:

[0042] Quick-installation mechanism 2 is installed on top of vehicle-mounted FPC module 1 and is used to protect the connection points of vehicle-mounted FPC module 1.

[0043] Mounting mechanism 3 is installed at the bottom of vehicle-mounted FPC module 1. Mounting mechanism 3 is used to fix vehicle-mounted FPC module 1 and quick-installation mechanism 2 on the top of mounting mechanism 3, thereby installing vehicle-mounted FPC module 1 and quick-installation mechanism 2 in the designated position.

[0044] The quick-installation mechanism 2 can quickly install two vehicle-mounted FPC modules 1 together to complete the connection between the two vehicle-mounted FPC modules 1 when plugging them in.

[0045] The quick-installation mechanism 2 includes a plug-in component 21, which is divided into two groups, left and right. The two groups of plug-in components 21 are respectively installed on the left and right sides of the vehicle FPC module 1. The installation between the two vehicle FPC modules 1 can be completed by inserting the right plug-in component 21 into the left plug-in component 21.

[0046] Quick-connect component 22 is installed on the outside of plug-in component 21. Quick-connect component 22 can install the two plug-in components 21 together by springback reset.

[0047] Among them, after the two plug-in components 21 are plugged together, the connection between the plug-in components 21 can be reinforced by the quick-install component 22 to ensure the connection effect between the two plug-in components 21.

[0048] The mounting mechanism 3 includes a pre-installed component 31, which is installed at the bottom of the vehicle-mounted FPC module 1. The pre-installed component 31 is used to determine the installation area of ​​the vehicle-mounted FPC module 1.

[0049] Mounting component 32 is installed at the bottom of pre-installed component 31. Mounting component 32 is used to install the vehicle-mounted FPC module 1 together with pre-installed component 31.

[0050] The mounting component 32 is used to mount the vehicle-mounted FPC module 1 on top of the previously installed pre-installed component 31.

[0051] The plug-in assembly 21 includes a plug-in protrusion 211 and a protrusion side plate 212. The plug-in protrusion 211 is installed on the left side of the vehicle FPC module 1, and the protrusion side plate 212 is installed on the right side of the vehicle FPC module 1. A rounded corner plug 213 is installed on the right side of the protrusion side plate 212.

[0052] The plug-in protrusion 211 has an annular groove on its left side. The annular groove of the plug-in protrusion 211 is adapted to the rounded corner plug 213 so that when the plug-in protrusion 211 and the rounded corner plug 213 are plugged together, the two vehicle FPC modules 1 on the left and right sides can be connected in series.

[0053] The quick-installation component 22 includes two component housings 221, which are respectively installed on the front and back of the insertion protrusion 211. A square groove 222 is provided in the center of the inside of the component housing 221. A rounded corner pull rod 223 is installed inside the square groove 222. A semi-circular handle 226 is installed on the top of the rounded corner pull rod 223. A square sliding plate 224 is provided on the top of the square groove 222. A telescopic spring 225 is installed at the bottom of the square groove 222. The bottom of the telescopic spring 225 is installed together with the bottom inner surface of the square groove 222. An insertion protrusion 227 is inserted into the bottom of the component housing 221. The side of the insertion protrusion 227 away from the component housing 221 is installed together with the protrusion side plate 212.

[0054] Pulling the semi-circular handle 226 causes the rounded corner pull rod 223 to move the square slide plate 224 upward, which in turn compresses the telescopic spring 225. This allows the rounded corner pull rod 223 to pass through the plug-in protrusion 227 and reconnect to the component housing 221 under the rebound action of the telescopic spring 225 when the semi-circular handle 226 is released. This enhances the protection of the connection of the vehicle FPC module 1, prevents the connection of the vehicle FPC module 1 from being disconnected due to collision, and ensures the stability of the operation of the vehicle FPC module 1.

[0055] The top of the rounded corner pull rod 223 extends upward through the component housing 221 and is slidably connected, so that when the rounded corner pull rod 223 rebounds, it can drive the rounded corner pull rod 223 to reset along the inner surface of the component housing 221 where it is penetrated.

[0056] The pre-installed component 31 includes a component base plate 311, which is located at the bottom of the vehicle-mounted FPC module 1. Several spring clip housings 312 are installed on the top of the component base plate 311, and the several spring clip housings 312 are arranged in a horizontal array with the component base plate 311 as the center.

[0057] Among them, the outer surface of the component base plate 311 is equipped with several square and round protrusions 313, and the center of the square and round protrusions 313 is provided with a threaded groove for using screws to install the component base plate 311 in the planned position.

[0058] The mounting component 32 includes several irregularly shaped spring pieces 321, all of which are mounted on the bottom inner surface of the spring piece housing 312. Irregularly shaped inserts 322 are inserted into the inner surface of the irregularly shaped spring pieces 321.

[0059] Take out the component base plate 311 and place it on the planned area. Then take out the vehicle FPC module 1 and align it with the component base plate 311, align the irregular insert 322 with the irregular spring 321, and then move the irregular insert 322 downward to insert the irregular insert 322 into the interior of the irregular spring 321. In this way, the vehicle FPC module 1 can be quickly installed on the pre-planned area, improving the installation efficiency of the vehicle FPC module 1.

[0060] The top of the irregularly shaped insert 322 is installed together with the bottom of the component base plate 311. When the irregularly shaped insert 322 is inserted into the bottom of the irregularly shaped spring 321, it will push the irregularly shaped spring 321 to deflect so that the irregularly shaped insert 322 can be inserted smoothly. After the irregularly shaped insert 322 is fully inserted, it will be tightly attached to the inner surface of the irregularly shaped spring 321 so that it is not easy to separate.

[0061] A specific application of this embodiment is as follows: When in use, first take out the vehicle-mounted FPC module 1, quick-install mechanism 2 and installation mechanism 3, then move the component base plate 311 to the area where the vehicle-mounted FPC module 1 needs to be installed, and then use bolts to pass through the square and round protrusions 313 to lock it to the object to prevent the component base plate 311 from accidentally falling off. Next, move the vehicle-mounted FPC module 1 to the top of the component base plate 311 so that the several irregularly shaped inserts 322 at the bottom of the vehicle-mounted FPC module 1 are aligned with the several irregularly shaped spring pieces 321 at the top of the component base plate 311. Then move the vehicle-mounted FPC module 1 downward and fix it to the planned area through the installation mechanism 3 by plugging it in.

[0062] Next, the car usually uses several vehicle-mounted FPC modules 1 to form a light strip. Pull the semi-circular handle 226 upward to move the rounded corner lever 223 downward, so that a gap is created between the rounded corner lever 223 and the inside of the component housing 221. Then, the plug-in protrusion 211 and the rounded corner plug 213 are aligned and plugged together, so that the plug-in protrusion 227 is inserted into the inside of the component housing 221.

[0063] Finally, release the semi-circular handle 226, allowing the square slide plate 224 to return to its original position under the action of the telescopic spring 225. The square slide plate 224 is then fixedly connected to the rounded corner pull rod 223, causing the rounded corner pull rod 223 to move downward and pass through the plug-in protrusion 227 to reconnect with the component housing 221, thus completing the rapid installation of the two vehicle-mounted FPC modules 1.
