Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of camera brackets, specifically to a shock-absorbing vehicle-mounted camera bracket. Background Technology

[0002] Vehicle camera brackets are crucial installation components for vehicle driver assistance systems and dashcams, primarily involving the fixation and angle adjustment of in-vehicle electronic equipment. With the widespread application of vehicle cameras in scenarios such as autonomous driving and collision evidence collection, higher demands are placed on the shock absorption performance and angle adjustment stability of the brackets. Traditional vehicle camera brackets often suffer from image distortion or shortened equipment lifespan due to structural design flaws when dealing with complex in-vehicle vibration environments, becoming a key technical bottleneck restricting the performance improvement of in-vehicle imaging systems.

[0003] Existing vehicle camera mount hinge locking mechanisms generally suffer from a single-function defect: their locking and shock-absorbing components are often designed independently, leading to structural complexity and a lack of synergistic effect. When a vehicle vibrates, the rigid connection structure of traditional mounts directly transmits vibration energy, lacking an effective energy absorption mechanism, causing the camera module to shake continuously and resulting in blurred images. Furthermore, their angle locking devices are prone to loosening or overload jamming under vibration conditions, failing to maintain the preset shooting angle and accelerating wear on mechanical components due to repeated stress impacts. This limits the adjustment flexibility of the camera assembly and keeps the equipment in an unstable operating state for extended periods, significantly increasing equipment failure rates and maintenance costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the above-mentioned shortcomings by providing a shock-absorbing vehicle-mounted camera bracket. This solves the problem that existing angle locking devices are prone to loosening or overload jamming under vibration conditions, failing to maintain the preset shooting angle and causing accelerated wear of mechanical components due to repeated stress impacts. This not only limits the adjustment flexibility of the camera assembly but also keeps the equipment in an unstable working state for extended periods, significantly increasing equipment failure rates and maintenance costs.

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is achieved through the following method: a shock-absorbing vehicle-mounted camera bracket, comprising a first rotating arm, a second rotating arm, a camera fixing sleeve, a camera assembly, and a rotating shaft. The first rotating arm and the second rotating arm are rotatably connected, and the camera fixing sleeve is rotatably connected to the second rotating arm. The rotating shaft is disposed between the second rotating arm and the camera fixing sleeve and between the first rotating arm and the second rotating arm. The camera assembly is disposed in the inner cavity of the camera fixing sleeve. A locking mechanism is disposed outside the rotating shaft. The locking mechanism comprises a hollow column and a locking arm. The hollow column is connected to the rotating shaft. The locking arm is connected to the first rotating arm and the second rotating arm respectively. A square arm is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the hollow column. A return damping spring is connected between the square arm and the hollow column. A chuck is connected to the outside of the square arm.

[0006] When the camera angle needs to be adjusted, external force is applied to the square arm, overcoming the elastic force of the return damping spring. This causes the square arm to slide within the hollow column, moving the chuck and disengaging the locking arm from its slot. At this point, the first and second rotating arms, as well as the second rotating arm and the camera mounting sleeve, can rotate freely around the pivot. After adjusting to the appropriate angle, the external force is removed, the return damping spring pushes the square arm back to its original position, the chuck moves accordingly, and the locking arm re-engages into its slot, thus locking the angle.

[0007] This locking mechanism allows for quick and easy adjustment and fixation of the camera angle, ensuring it remains at a suitable shooting angle to meet various in-vehicle shooting needs. Furthermore, while the vehicle is in motion, the locking mechanism prevents camera angle shifts due to vibration, guaranteeing the stability of the captured image.

[0008] Furthermore, the chuck has evenly spaced slots on its outer surface, and the interior of the slots is slidably connected to the exterior of the chuck arm.

[0009] The evenly distributed slots on the chuck provide multiple fixed positions for the chuck arm. When the chuck arm is engaged in different slots, the corresponding relative angles between the first rotating arm and the second rotating arm, and between the second rotating arm and the camera mounting sleeve, are different, thus enabling multi-angle adjustment.

[0010] The evenly spaced slots provide multiple options for camera angle adjustment, allowing for more precise adjustment to the desired shooting angle and improving the flexibility and applicability of the bracket's angle adjustment. Furthermore, the sliding connection between the slots and the arm ensures smooth adjustment while maintaining stability after mounting.

[0011] Furthermore, the outer side of the clamping arm is designed with rounded corners, and a rubber sleeve is fitted over the outer side of the clamping arm.

[0012] The rounded corners of the chuck arm reduce frictional resistance caused by sharp edges during sliding with the chuck groove, allowing the chuck arm to slide into and out of the groove more easily. The rubber sleeve provides excellent elasticity and cushioning, absorbing and buffering the impact force between the chuck arm and the chuck groove when they interact.

[0013] The rounded corner design and the use of rubber sleeves effectively reduce jamming during adjustment, improving the smoothness and comfort of operation. At the same time, the cushioning effect of the rubber sleeves reduces wear between components, extends the service life of the locking mechanism, and also isolates vibrations transmitted during vehicle operation to a certain extent, further enhancing the shock absorption effect of the bracket.

[0014] Furthermore, the first rotating arm is externally connected with double-sided adhesive tape, and a protective sticker is attached to the outside of the double-sided adhesive tape.

[0015] Double-sided adhesive tape is used to attach and fix the first swing arm to the appropriate position on the vehicle, facilitating quick and easy bracket installation. Protective tape protects the adhesive side of the double-sided adhesive tape from dust, impurities, and other contaminants when the bracket is not installed, ensuring that the adhesive strength of the double-sided adhesive tape is not affected during installation.

[0016] The use of double-sided adhesive simplifies the bracket installation process, allowing for secure mounting on vehicles without complicated tools or procedures. The protective film ensures the adhesive's hold, making the bracket more stable and less prone to loosening due to reduced adhesive strength, thus guaranteeing the stability of the camera's captured images.

[0017] Furthermore, a protective sleeve is connected to the outside of the first rotating arm, and the protective sleeve is fitted onto the outside of the double-sided adhesive tape.

[0018] The protective sleeve is placed over the double-sided adhesive tape. On the one hand, it can further protect the double-sided adhesive tape and prevent it from being damaged by external forces before installation. On the other hand, after the bracket is installed, the protective sleeve can play a certain role in buffering and shock absorption, reducing the impact of vehicle vibration on the double-sided adhesive tape bonding area.

[0019] The protective sleeve enhances the protection of the double-sided adhesive tape, extends its effective lifespan, and ensures long-term stable installation of the bracket. Simultaneously, the protective sleeve's cushioning and shock-absorbing function reduces the impact of vehicle vibrations on the bracket, further improving its shock absorption performance and ensuring the clarity and stability of the camera's captured images.

[0020] Furthermore, the camera assembly is fitted with a rubber sleeve, which is embedded inside the camera mounting sleeve.

[0021] The rubber sleeve has good elasticity and flexibility. When vibrations occur during vehicle operation, the rubber sleeve can absorb and buffer vibration energy through its own elastic deformation, reducing the transmission of vibration to the camera assembly. At the same time, the rubber sleeve is tightly embedded inside the camera mounting sleeve, firmly fixing the camera assembly in the appropriate position and preventing it from shaking inside the mounting sleeve.

[0022] The rubber sleeve effectively reduces the impact of vehicle vibration on the camera assembly by providing shock absorption and fixation. This reduces problems such as blurry and shaky images caused by vibration, improves the quality and stability of the captured images, and enables the vehicle camera to record the surroundings of the vehicle more clearly and stably.

[0023] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0024] In this shock-absorbing vehicle camera bracket, a locking mechanism is set outside the rotating shaft. A hollow column is connected to the rotating shaft, and a locking arm is connected to the first rotating arm and the second rotating arm respectively. The square arm slides in the inner cavity of the hollow column and is connected by a return damping spring. The external chuck cooperates with the locking arm to form a structure that has both locking and shock absorption functions.

[0025] When the vehicle vibrates, the return damping spring absorbs the vibration energy, and the square arm slides and buffers within the hollow column, reducing the transmission of vibration to the camera assembly and preventing the captured image from becoming blurry due to vibration. At the same time, the cooperation between the chuck and the locking arm locks the position of the rotating arm after the angle is adjusted, preventing the bracket from shifting due to vibration and ensuring the stability of the camera assembly. This allows for flexible adjustment of the camera angle, and the shock-absorbing structure of the locking mechanism further enhances the shooting stability of the camera in the vehicle vibration environment, effectively protecting the camera assembly and extending the service life of the equipment.

[0030] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0031] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3The specific implementation of a shock-absorbing vehicle-mounted camera bracket includes a first rotating arm 1, a second rotating arm 2, a camera fixing sleeve 3, a camera assembly 4, and a rotating shaft 5. The first rotating arm 1 and the second rotating arm 2 are rotatably connected, the camera fixing sleeve 3 and the second rotating arm 2 are rotatably connected, the rotating shaft 5 is disposed between the second rotating arm 2 and the camera fixing sleeve 3 and between the first rotating arm 1 and the second rotating arm 2, the camera assembly 4 is disposed in the inner cavity of the camera fixing sleeve 3, and a locking mechanism 6 is disposed outside the rotating shaft 5. The locking mechanism 6 includes a hollow column 61 and a locking arm 65. The hollow column 61 is connected to the rotating shaft 5, and the locking arm 65 is connected to the first rotating arm 1 and the second rotating arm 2 respectively. A square arm 63 is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the hollow column 61, a return damping spring 62 is connected between the square arm 63 and the hollow column 61, and a chuck 64 is connected to the outside of the square arm 63. When the camera angle needs to be adjusted, an external force is applied to the square arm 63, overcoming the elastic force of the return damping spring 62, causing the square arm 63 to slide within the hollow column 61. This moves the chuck 64, and the locking arm 65 disengages from the slot of the chuck 64. At this time, the first rotating arm 1 and the second rotating arm 2, as well as the second rotating arm 2 and the camera fixing sleeve 3, can rotate freely around the pivot 5. After adjusting to the appropriate angle, the external force is removed, the return damping spring 62 pushes the square arm 63 back to its original position, the chuck 64 moves accordingly, and the locking arm 65 re-engages into the slot of the chuck 64, thus locking the angle.

[0032] The locking mechanism 6 allows for convenient and quick adjustment and fixation of the camera angle, ensuring that the camera is always at a suitable shooting angle to meet different vehicle shooting needs. Simultaneously, during vehicle operation, the locking mechanism 6 prevents camera angle shift due to vibration, ensuring the stability of the captured image.

[0033] The chuck 64 has evenly spaced slots on its exterior, and the interior of the slots is slidably connected to the exterior of the chuck arm 65.

[0034] The evenly distributed slots on the chuck 64 provide multiple fixed positions for the chuck arm 65. When the chuck arm 65 is engaged in different slots, it corresponds to different relative angles between the first rotating arm 1 and the second rotating arm 2, and between the second rotating arm 2 and the camera fixing sleeve 3, thereby achieving multi-angle adjustment.

[0035] The evenly spaced slots provide multiple options for camera angle adjustment, allowing for more precise adjustment to the desired shooting angle and improving the flexibility and applicability of the bracket angle adjustment. Furthermore, the sliding connection between the slots and the 65-degree arm ensures smooth adjustment while maintaining stability after mounting.

[0036] The outer corners of the clamping arm 65 are rounded, and a rubber sleeve is fitted onto the outer side of the clamping arm 65.

[0037] The rounded corner design of the chuck arm 65 reduces the frictional resistance caused by sharp edges during sliding with the chuck 64 slot, allowing the chuck arm 65 to slide into and out of the slot more easily. The rubber sleeve has good elasticity and cushioning properties, absorbing and buffering the impact force between the chuck arm 65 and the chuck 64 slot when they interact.

[0038] The rounded corner design and the use of rubber sleeves effectively reduce jamming during adjustment, improving the smoothness and comfort of operation. At the same time, the cushioning effect of the rubber sleeves reduces wear between components, extends the service life of the locking mechanism 6, and also isolates vibrations during vehicle operation to a certain extent, further enhancing the shock absorption effect of the bracket.

[0039] The external connection of the first rotating arm 1 is a double-sided adhesive tape 11, and a protective film is pasted on the outside of the double-sided adhesive tape 11.

[0040] Double-sided adhesive tape 11 is used to attach and fix the first rotating arm 1 to a suitable position on the vehicle, facilitating quick and easy bracket installation. When the bracket is not installed, the protective tape protects the adhesive side of the double-sided adhesive tape 11 from dust, impurities, and other contaminants, ensuring that the adhesiveness of the double-sided adhesive tape 11 is not affected during installation.

[0041] The use of double-sided adhesive tape 11 simplifies the bracket installation process, allowing for secure installation on the vehicle without complicated tools or procedures. The protective film ensures the adhesion of the double-sided adhesive tape 11, making the bracket more stable after installation and less prone to loosening due to decreased adhesiveness, thus guaranteeing the stability of the camera's captured images.

[0042] The first rotating arm 1 is externally connected to a protective sleeve 12, which is fitted onto the outside of the double-sided adhesive tape 11.

[0043] The protective sleeve 12 is placed over the double-sided adhesive tape 11. On the one hand, it can further protect the double-sided adhesive tape 11 and prevent it from being damaged by external forces before installation. On the other hand, after the bracket is installed, the protective sleeve 12 can play a certain role in buffering and shock absorption, reducing the impact of vehicle vibration on the adhesive tape 11.

[0044] The protective sleeve 12 enhances the protection of the double-sided adhesive tape 11, extends its effective lifespan, and ensures long-term stable installation of the bracket. Simultaneously, the cushioning and shock absorption function of the protective sleeve 12 reduces the impact of vehicle vibrations on the overall bracket, further improving its shock absorption performance and ensuring the clarity and stability of the camera's captured images.

[0045] The camera assembly 4 is fitted with a rubber sleeve, which is embedded inside the camera mounting sleeve 3.

[0046] The rubber sleeve has good elasticity and flexibility. When vibration occurs during vehicle operation, the rubber sleeve can absorb and buffer the vibration energy through its own elastic deformation, reducing the vibration transmitted to the camera assembly 4. At the same time, the rubber sleeve is tightly embedded inside the camera mounting sleeve 3, which securely fixes the camera assembly 4 in the appropriate position and prevents it from shaking inside the mounting sleeve.

[0047] The rubber sleeve effectively reduces the impact of vehicle vibration on camera group 4 by providing shock absorption and fixation. This reduces problems such as blurry and shaky images caused by vibration, improves the quality and stability of the captured images, and enables the vehicle camera to record the situation around the vehicle more clearly and stably.

[0048] The above description, in conjunction with specific preferred embodiments, provides a further detailed explanation of the present invention. It should not be construed that the specific implementation of the present invention is limited to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art, various simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, and all such modifications and substitutions should be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
