Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle camera technology, specifically to a multi-dimensional adjustment mechanism for vehicle cameras. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of technology, cameras are being used more and more widely in various fields. Among them, the addition of cameras to vehicles has become a major trend. In order to meet the needs of camera installation in multiple vehicle models, it is necessary to develop a camera that can adapt to multiple installation modes, making it easy to install the camera at the appropriate distance and height. At the same time, it is easy to fine-tune the vertical or horizontal offset angle of the camera to ensure that the position, size and lighting of the subject in the picture are optimal. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a multi-dimensional adjustment mechanism for vehicle-mounted cameras that offers good flexibility in camera installation and adjustment, and facilitates optimization of shooting effects.

[0004] A multi-dimensional adjustment mechanism for a vehicle-mounted camera includes a connecting component, a mounting base, and a camera. The camera is movably connected to the mounting base. The connecting component includes a base and a connector. The connector includes a first connecting plate and a second connecting plate. The first connecting plate is movably connected to the base, and the mounting base is rotatably connected to the second connecting plate.

[0005] In the above solution, the base is connected to the vehicle body, and the first connecting plate is movably connected to the base. By adjusting the position of the connection between the first connecting plate and the base, the length of the connecting piece extending out of the vehicle body can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the length of the camera extension. The mounting base is rotatably connected to the second connecting plate, which can adjust the mounting direction of the mounting base, thereby adjusting the angle of the camera. The camera is movably connected to the mounting base, which can adjust the angle of the camera mounted on the mounting base. This mechanism realizes multi-angle adjustment of the camera within the three-dimensional space, which can optimize the shooting effect to the greatest extent, improve the flexibility of the camera installation position, and facilitate installation on the vehicle.

[0006] Furthermore, the connector is L-shaped, and the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate are integrally formed.

[0007] In the above scheme, when adjusting the connection position between the first connecting plate and the base and the rotation angle between the mounting base and the second connecting plate, the L-shaped connector allows the operator to more intuitively judge the direction and range of adjustment, making the adjustment process more accurate and convenient. The one-piece molded L-shaped connector has no connection gaps or additional connection points. Compared with the structure of splicing multiple parts, its overall rigidity is greatly improved. The structure is simple and easy to process and install.

[0008] Furthermore, the end of the mounting base connected to the second connecting plate is provided with at least two arc-shaped holes, and the second connecting plate is provided with two sets of mounting holes arranged in an arc shape, each set having at least three mounting holes. The mounting holes and arc-shaped holes can be connected by bolts and nuts.

[0009] In the above solution, the two sets of arc-shaped mounting holes on the second connecting plate enrich the adjustment dimensions. By selecting mounting holes at different positions to connect with the arc-shaped holes, and combining the angle adjustment range provided by the arc-shaped holes themselves, a wider variety of angle combinations can be achieved. This makes the camera adjustment in three-dimensional space more flexible and diverse, adaptable to various complex installation environments and usage requirements, and meets the personalized needs of different users for camera shooting angles. Both arc-shaped holes are connected to the mounting holes with bolts and nuts, which greatly improves the stability of the installation and ensures that the camera always maintains a stable working state, providing a guarantee for continuous and clear image capture.

[0010] Furthermore, the mounting base includes a mounting plate and two support plates, the two support plates being connected to both ends of the mounting plate, and both ends of the camera being movably connected to the two support plates respectively.

[0011] In the above solution, the mounting plate and the two support plates form a stable frame structure. The mounting plate is used to connect with the connector, and the two support plates fix and support the camera from both sides. The camera can rotate around the connection point with the support plate, so the angle of the camera can be adjusted according to the actual situation during installation. This structure can ensure that the camera is installed firmly and is not easy to shake or shift, thus ensuring the stability and clarity of the captured image.

[0012] Furthermore, the end of the support plate is provided with a round hole, and the camera is provided with a threaded hole. The support plate and the camera are connected by passing a fastener through the round hole and threading it into the threaded hole.

[0013] In the above solution, the camera angle can be adjusted within a certain range by passing the fastener through the round hole and connecting it to the threaded hole. By simply loosening the fastener appropriately, the camera can be rotated to the appropriate angle relatively easily, and then the fastener can be tightened to fix the new angle, thereby realizing multi-angle adjustment of the camera within the three-dimensional space.

[0014] Furthermore, the mounting plate is provided with a first through hole, and the second connecting plate is provided with a second through hole opposite to the first through hole, and the camera's connecting cable passes through the first through hole and the second through hole.

[0015] In the above solution, the camera's connecting harness passes through the first and second through holes, allowing the connecting harness to be hidden, avoiding messy distribution of the harness outside the mechanism, and ensuring high protection and high stability of the harness.

[0016] Furthermore, the base is provided with a plurality of elongated oval holes, and the first connecting plate is provided with a plurality of connecting holes, the connecting holes and the elongated oval holes being connected by bolts and nuts.

[0017] In the above scheme, the connecting hole of the first connecting plate can be connected to different positions of different oblong holes, so that the length of the connector extending out of the base can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the length of the camera extension. The design of the oblong holes and connecting holes makes the installation process simpler and more intuitive. Installers do not need to perform complicated positioning and calibration operations. They only need to select the appropriate connection position according to the actual situation and fix it with bolts and nuts, which greatly improves the installation efficiency and reduces the installation difficulty.

[0018] Furthermore, the base includes a base plate with the elongated hole and a fixing plate, the fixing plate being connected to the base plate, and one end of the base plate being bent.

[0019] In the above solution, the bent portion of the substrate acts as a reinforcing rib, which can enhance the structural strength of the substrate itself. When subjected to external impact, the bent portion can effectively resist deformation and prevent the substrate from bending or breaking. This reinforced structure not only improves the durability of the substrate, but also further enhances the load-bearing capacity of the entire base, ensuring that it can stably support components such as connectors, mounting bases, and cameras.

[0020] Furthermore, the substrate is provided with weight-reduction holes.

[0021] In the above solution, the weight-reducing holes can reduce the weight of the substrate, avoid the substrate's gravity from causing tension on the fixing plate, and ensure the stability of the connection between the fixing plate and the vehicle body.

[0022] Furthermore, the fixing plate is provided with several fixing holes.

[0023] In the above solution, fasteners such as screws are passed through the fixing holes of the fixing plate and connected to the vehicle body threads to achieve the connection between the base and the vehicle body. This connection method is simple, has a wide range of applications, and is convenient for installation and disassembly.

[0024] This utility model discloses a multi-dimensional adjustment mechanism for a vehicle-mounted camera, which offers advantages such as high flexibility in camera installation and adjustment, and facilitates optimization of shooting effects. The base is connected to the vehicle body, and a first connecting plate is movably connected to the base. By adjusting the position of the first connecting plate connected to the base, the length of the connecting piece extending out of the vehicle body can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the length of the camera extension. The mounting base is rotatably connected to the second connecting plate, allowing adjustment of the mounting direction of the mounting base, thereby adjusting the camera angle. The camera is movably connected to the mounting base, allowing adjustment of the angle at which the camera is mounted on the mounting base. This mechanism enables multi-angle adjustment of the camera within a three-dimensional spatial range, maximizing the optimization of shooting effects, improving the flexibility of camera installation position, and facilitating installation on vehicles.

[0029] The following will provide a more detailed description of a multi-dimensional adjustment mechanism for a vehicle-mounted camera, in conjunction with specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown in a preferred embodiment, the multi-dimensional adjustment mechanism for a vehicle-mounted camera 1 according to this utility model includes a connecting component 3, a mounting base 2, and a camera 1. The camera 1 is movably connected to the mounting base 2. The connecting component 3 includes a base 31 and a connector 32. The connector 32 includes a first connecting plate 321 and a second connecting plate 322. The first connecting plate 321 is movably connected to the base 31, and the mounting base 2 is rotatably connected to the second connecting plate 322. The base 31 is connected to the vehicle body, and the first connecting plate 321 is movably connected to the base 31. By adjusting the position of the first connecting plate 321 connected to the base 31, the length of the connector 32 extending out of the vehicle body can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the length of the camera 1 extending out. The mounting base 2 is rotatably connected to the second connecting plate 322, allowing adjustment of the mounting direction of the mounting base 2, thereby adjusting the angle of the camera 1. The camera 1 is movably connected to the mounting base 2, allowing adjustment of the angle at which the camera 1 is mounted on the mounting base 2. This mechanism enables multi-angle adjustment of the camera 1 within a three-dimensional spatial range, maximizing the optimization of the shooting effect, improving the flexibility of the camera 1's mounting position, facilitating installation on various vehicles, and having a wide range of applications.

[0031] In the above embodiments, both the connecting component 3 and the mounting base 2 are made of high-strength metal and coated with anti-rust and anti-corrosion paint to ensure resistance to damage from corrosive substances in the vehicle use or working environment.

[0032] The multi-dimensional adjustment function of this mechanism enables it to adapt to various types of vehicles. Different vehicle models have different body structures, installation positions and usage requirements. This adjustment mechanism can flexibly adjust the position and angle of camera 1 according to the specific characteristics of the vehicle, ensuring that it can perfectly adapt to different vehicle models and has wide applicability.

[0033] In actual installation, the environment around the vehicle may be complex, with various obstacles or special installation requirements. The multi-angle adjustment capability of this adjustment mechanism can help installers find the best installation position in complex environments, avoid obstacles, and ensure that camera 1 can work normally, thereby improving the success rate and efficiency of installation.

[0034] Because the mechanism can flexibly adjust the position and angle of camera 1, it reduces the need to replace or reinstall the equipment due to improper installation or poor shooting effect, thereby reducing the cost of use. At the same time, its wide applicability also reduces the cost of designing and producing camera adjustment mechanisms specifically for different vehicle models, resulting in good economic benefits.

[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments, the connector 32 is L-shaped, with the first connecting plate 321 and the second connecting plate 322 integrally formed. When adjusting the connection position between the first connecting plate 321 and the base 31, and the rotation angle between the mounting base 2 and the second connecting plate 322, the L-shaped connector 32 allows the operator to more intuitively judge the direction and range of adjustment, making the adjustment process more accurate and convenient. The integrally formed L-shaped connector 32 has no connection gaps or additional connection points. Compared with the structure of splicing multiple parts, its overall rigidity is greatly improved, and the structure is simple, convenient for processing and installation.

[0036] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the end of the mounting base 2 connected to the second connecting plate 322 is provided with at least two arc-shaped holes 4. The second connecting plate 322 is provided with two sets of mounting holes 5 arranged in an arc shape, each set of mounting holes 5 having at least three holes. The mounting holes 5 and the arc-shaped holes 4 can be connected by bolts and nuts. The two sets of mounting holes 5 arranged in an arc shape on the second connecting plate 322 enrich the adjustment dimensions. By selecting different positions of the mounting holes 5 to cooperate with the arc-shaped holes 4, and combining the angle adjustment range provided by the arc-shaped holes 4 themselves, more combinations of different angles can be achieved. This makes the adjustment of the camera 1 in three-dimensional space more flexible and diverse, adaptable to various complex installation environments and usage requirements, and meets the personalized needs of different users for the shooting angle of the camera 1. Both arc-shaped holes 4 are connected to the mounting holes 5 by bolts and nuts, which greatly improves the stability of the installation and ensures that the camera 1 always maintains a stable working state, providing a guarantee for continuous and clear image shooting.

[0037] Specifically, in this embodiment, each set of mounting holes 5 has 3 holes, which can realize a wide range of adjustment of the mounting base 2 ± 100°.

[0038] like Figure 2 As shown, one set of bolts and nuts is connected to the uppermost mounting hole 5 of a set of mounting holes 5, and another set of bolts and nuts is connected to the lowermost mounting hole 5 of another set of mounting holes 5, so as to achieve a stable connection between the mounting base 2 and the connector 32.

[0039] like Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments, the mounting base 2 includes a mounting plate 21 and two support plates 22. The two support plates 22 are connected to both ends of the mounting plate 21, and both ends of the camera 1 are movably connected to the two support plates 22 respectively. The mounting base 2, consisting of the mounting plate 21 and the two support plates 22, forms a stable frame structure. The mounting plate 21 is used to connect with the connector 32, and the two support plates 22 fix and support the camera 1 from both sides. The camera 1 can rotate about the connection point with the support plate 22 as an axis, so that the angle of the camera 1 can be adjusted according to the actual situation during installation. This structure can ensure that the camera 1 is firmly installed and is not prone to shaking or displacement, thereby ensuring the stability and clarity of the captured image.

[0040] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the end of the support plate 22 is provided with a circular hole 221, and the camera 1 is provided with a threaded hole. The support plate 22 and the camera 1 are connected by passing a fastener through the circular hole 221 and threading it into the threaded hole. By passing the fastener through the circular hole 221 and threading it into the threaded hole, the angle of the camera 1 can be adjusted within a certain range. By simply loosening the fastener appropriately, the camera 1 can be rotated to a suitable angle relatively easily, and then the fastener can be tightened to fix the new angle, thereby realizing multi-angle adjustment of the camera 1 within the three-dimensional space.

[0041] In the above embodiment, the size of the circular hole 221 is a universal size, which is suitable for threaded holes of various diameters, thereby making it compatible with the installation of multiple brands of cameras 1.

[0042] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the mounting plate 21 has a first through hole 211, and the second connecting plate 322 has a second through hole 3221 opposite to the first through hole 211. The connecting wire harness 6 of the camera 1 passes through the first through hole 211 and the second through hole 3221. The fact that the connecting wire harness 6 of the camera 1 passes through the first through hole 211 and the second through hole 3221 allows the connecting wire harness 6 to be hidden, avoiding messy distribution of the wire harness outside the mechanism and ensuring high protection and high stability of the wire harness.

[0043] In the above embodiment, the first through hole 211 and the second through hole 3221 are located between the two sets of mounting holes 5.

[0044] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, the base 31 is provided with a plurality of elongated oval holes 3111, and the first connecting plate 321 is provided with a plurality of connecting holes 3211. The connecting holes 3211 and the elongated oval holes 3111 can be connected by bolts and nuts. The connecting holes 3211 of the first connecting plate 321 can be connected to different positions of different elongated oval holes 3111, so that the length of the connector 32 extending out of the base 31 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the length of the camera 1 extending out. The design of the elongated oval holes 3111 and the connecting holes 3211 makes the installation process simpler and more intuitive. Installers do not need to perform complex positioning and calibration operations. They only need to select the appropriate connection position according to the actual situation and fix it with bolts and nuts, which greatly improves the installation efficiency and reduces the installation difficulty.

[0045] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the base 31 includes a base plate 311 with an elongated hole 3111 and a fixing plate 312. The fixing plate 312 is connected to the base plate 311, and one end of the base plate 311 is bent. The bent portion of the base plate 311 acts as a reinforcing rib, which can enhance the structural strength of the base plate 311 itself. When subjected to external impact, the bent portion can effectively resist deformation and prevent the base plate 311 from bending or breaking. This reinforced structure not only improves the durability of the base plate 311, but also further enhances the load-bearing capacity of the entire base 31, ensuring that it can stably support components such as the connector 32, the mounting base 2, and the camera 1.

[0046] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the substrate 311 is provided with weight-reducing holes 3112. The weight-reducing holes 3112 can reduce the weight of the substrate 311, avoid the gravity of the substrate 311 from causing tension on the fixing plate 312, and ensure the stability of the connection between the fixing plate 312 and the vehicle body.

[0047] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the fixing plate 312 is provided with a plurality of fixing holes 3121. By passing screws or other fasteners through the fixing holes 3121 of the fixing plate 312 and threading them with the vehicle body, the base 31 can be connected to the vehicle body. This connection method is simple, has a wide range of applications, and is convenient for installation and disassembly.

[0048] In some embodiments, in addition to screws connecting the vehicle body and the mounting plate 312, if the disassembly of the base 31 is not a concern, the mounting plate 312 can also be directly welded to the vehicle body. This connection is more stable and does not require drilling threaded holes in the vehicle body. The base 31 can be welded to any position on the vehicle according to actual needs.

[0049] The working principle and process of the multi-dimensional adjustment mechanism of the vehicle-mounted camera 1 of this utility model are as follows: by adjusting the connection hole 3211 of the first connecting plate 321 to different positions of different elongated oval holes 3111, the length of the connecting piece 32 extending out of the base 31 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the length of the camera 1. By selecting different positions of the mounting hole 5 and connecting it with the arc-shaped hole 4, and combining the angle adjustment range provided by the arc-shaped hole 4 itself, the camera 1 can be rotated at a large angle. In addition, the camera 1 can rotate around the connection point with the support plate 22 as the axis. During installation, the camera 1 can be raised or lowered according to the actual situation.
