Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of vehicle-mounted monitoring technology, and in particular relates to a vehicle-mounted monitoring camera. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the road freight industry, large freight vehicles play an irreplaceable role in logistics transportation. However, due to the large size of the truck and the high position of the cab, there are many blind spots around the vehicle, especially on both sides of the cab. These blind spots have become a significant hidden danger for road traffic accidents.

[0003] During the starting, lane changing, turning, and reversing maneuvers of large trucks, drivers often find it difficult to fully observe pedestrians, non-motorized vehicles, and other small vehicles within blind spots using traditional rearview mirrors. This greatly increases the risk of collisions due to misjudgment, resulting not only in property damage but also potentially endangering lives. According to relevant statistics, traffic accidents caused by blind spots of large trucks account for a high proportion of all truck accidents, and the consequences are often severe. Therefore, there is an urgent need to improve upon existing shortcomings and address blind spot issues by providing a vehicle-mounted monitoring camera. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a vehicle-mounted surveillance camera that is reasonably designed, simple in structure, has good monitoring effect, and whose angle can be quickly adjusted according to actual needs, thereby solving the problems existing in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A vehicle-mounted surveillance camera, comprising:

[0007] The bracket mechanism includes a mounting plate and clamps fixed above the mounting plate and arranged symmetrically on the left and right sides, for fixing the vehicle monitoring camera to the rearview mirror mount support rod;

[0008] The camera body is located directly below the mounting plate and is used for monitoring video recording;

[0009] The docking mechanism includes a boss fixed below the mounting plate and a housing rotatably located outside the boss. The boss is composed of an upper docking part and a lower limiting part. The docking part is connected to the housing through a sealed bearing. A sliding groove is provided on the inner wall of the bottom end of the housing. The camera body is fixedly installed on the bottom end face of the housing.

[0010] The positioning mechanism includes a limiting block that slides within the groove, and a support spring that is fixedly connected between the limiting block and the outer shell. The limiting block forms an elastic structure through the support spring.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, a first screw is movably mounted on the top of the clamp, and a first nut is threaded onto the outer side of the threaded section of the first screw.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, a pad strip is adhered to the inner surface of the clamp. The pad strip is made of elastic rubber material and has a serrated structure on the side facing away from the clamp.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, a plurality of inverted "V"-shaped protrusions are evenly distributed on the peripheral outer surface of the limiting part, and a triangular protrusion is provided in the middle of one end of the limiting block near the limiting part, which engages with the inverted "V"-shaped protrusions on the outer surface of the limiting part.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, a second nut is embedded and fixed at a position on the outer wall of the housing corresponding to the sliding groove, and a second screw is connected to the internal thread of the second nut.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, one end of the second screw extends into the groove to abut and position the limiting block.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] In the solution of this utility model:

[0018] The setup of two clamps, a first screw, and a first nut facilitates the installation of the surveillance camera on the rearview mirror mount. The clamps' tightening mechanism and the elastic rubber material with a serrated edge on one side ensure a tight fit with various rearview mirror mount shapes, significantly improving the installation stability of the device. By mounting the camera on the rearview mirror mount, real-time monitoring of both sides of the vehicle body, including the passenger compartment and driver's cab, can be achieved, effectively eliminating safety hazards caused by blind spots and ensuring driving safety.

[0019] The docking part and the outer shell are connected by a sealed bearing, which facilitates manual control of the camera body and the outer shell to rotate laterally. This allows for quick adjustment of the camera body angle. Furthermore, the support spring facilitates the engagement of the triangular protrusion of the limiting block with the inverted "V"-shaped protrusion on the outer surface of the limiting part, enabling the positioning of the outer shell and the camera body. Subsequently, a tool can be used to turn the second screw, which moves under the action of the second nut until it abuts against the limiting block, facilitating the positioning of the limiting block and ensuring its stable engagement with the limiting part. This allows for easy locking of the camera body angle, facilitating stable shooting and monitoring. Attached Figure Description

[0028] The embodiments described below are merely some embodiments of the present invention and do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present invention. Exemplary embodiments will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0029] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the vehicle-mounted surveillance camera of this utility model includes:

[0030] The bracket mechanism includes a mounting plate 1 and clamps 2 fixed above the mounting plate 1 and arranged symmetrically on the left and right sides, for fixing the vehicle monitoring camera on the rearview mirror mount support rod;

[0031] The camera body 6 is located directly below the mounting plate 1 and is used for monitoring video.

[0032] The docking mechanism includes a boss fixed below the mounting plate 1 and a housing 9 rotatably located outside the boss. The boss is composed of an upper docking part 7 and a lower limiting part 8. The docking part 7 and the housing 9 are connected by a sealed bearing. A sliding groove 10 is provided on the inner wall of the bottom end of the housing 9. The camera body 6 is fixedly installed on the bottom end face of the housing 9.

[0033] The positioning mechanism includes a limiting block 12 that slides within the slide groove 10. A support spring 11 is fixedly connected between the limiting block 12 and the outer shell 9. The limiting block 12 forms an elastic structure through the support spring 11.

[0034] Based on the above structure, a first screw 4 is movably installed at the top of the clamp 2, and a first nut 5 is threaded onto the outer side of the threaded section of the first screw 4.

[0035] In this embodiment, the first screw 4 and the first nut 5 are used to facilitate the tightening of the clamp 2, thereby making it easy to fix the monitoring camera on the rearview mirror mount of the vehicle for monitoring the blind spots on both sides of the vehicle body.

[0036] Based on the above structure, a pad 3 is bonded to the inner surface of the clamp 2. The pad 3 is made of elastic rubber material and has a serrated structure on the side away from the clamp 2.

[0037] In this embodiment, the use of the elastic rubber pad 3 can effectively enhance the friction between the pad and the rearview mirror mount support, ensuring the stable installation of the surveillance camera.

[0038] Based on the above structure, a number of inverted "V" shaped protrusions are evenly distributed on the outer surface of the peripheral side of the limiting part 8, and a triangular protrusion is provided in the middle of one end of the limiting block 12 near the limiting part 8. The triangular protrusion engages with the inverted "V" shaped protrusion on the outer surface of the limiting part 8.

[0039] In this embodiment, the triangular protrusion of the limiting block 12 engages with the inverted "V" shaped protrusion on the outer surface of the limiting part 8, which facilitates the positioning of the angles of the outer shell 9 and the camera body 6.

[0040] Based on the above structure, a second nut 13 is fixedly embedded in the outer wall of the outer shell 9 at the position corresponding to the slide groove 10, and a second screw 14 is connected to the internal thread of the second nut 13.

[0041] Based on the above structure, one end of the second screw 14 extends into the slide groove 10 to abut and position the limiting block 12.

[0042] In this embodiment, after the monitoring angle of the camera body 6 is adjusted by rotating the outer casing 9, the second screw 14 can be turned to move it and engage with the limiting block 12. This prevents the limiting block 12 from shrinking and makes it stably engage with the inverted "V" shaped protrusion of the limiting part 8, thereby facilitating the locking of the angle of the camera body 6.

[0043] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0044] In use, firstly, using the clamps 2, the first screw 4 and the first nut 5 symmetrically arranged above the mounting plate 1, the vehicle-mounted monitoring camera is installed on the rearview mirror mount of the vehicle. Moreover, the clamps 2 tighten and the elastic rubber material and the serrated strip 3 on one side make it easy to achieve a tight fit with rearview mirror mounts of various shapes, thus enhancing the installation stability of the device.

[0045] After the device is installed on the rearview mirror mount support, the outer shell 9, which is sleeved on the outside of the docking part 7, can be rotated according to the monitoring range. This facilitates the horizontal rotation of the camera body 6 fixed at the bottom of the outer shell 9, enabling quick adjustment of the camera direction angle. Furthermore, the support spring 11 facilitates the engagement of the triangular protrusion of the limiting block 12 with the inverted "V"-shaped protrusion on the outer surface of the limiting part 8, which can position the outer shell 9 and the camera body 6. Subsequently, existing tools such as screwdrivers can be used to tighten the second screw 14, causing it to move under the action of the second nut 13 until it contacts the limiting block 12. This prevents the limiting block 12 from retracting into the slide groove 10, facilitating the positioning of the limiting block 12 and ensuring its stable engagement with the limiting part 8, thereby effectively locking the monitoring angle of the camera body 6.

[0046] By mounting the camera body 6 on the rearview mirror mount support, it is possible to monitor the sides of the vehicle body, including the passenger compartment and driver's cab, in real time, which can effectively eliminate the safety hazards caused by blind spots and ensure driving safety.

[0047] It should be noted that the camera body 6 in this solution is an existing product. It can obtain power from the vehicle through a wire and can display the monitoring image on the in-vehicle display in the driver's cab. This is a mature and widely used existing technology and is not the direction of innovation and improvement in this case, so it will not be described in detail.

[0048] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Any equivalent changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations made by those skilled in the art based on the concept of this utility model and on the basis of existing technology through logical analysis, reasoning, or limited experiments shall be within the scope of protection defined by the claims.
