[0037] The following is for reference. Figures 1 to 3 This invention describes a vehicle safety module installation platform according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0038] According to the vehicle safety module installation platform of this utility model embodiment, refer to Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the vehicle safety module mounting platform for mounting the safety module 300 on the crossbeam 400 of the trolley moving mechanism includes a mounting bracket 100 and a limiting component 200.

[0039] The mounting bracket 100 includes a mounting plate 101 and two limiting plates 102. The mounting plate 101 is used to mount the safety module 300. For example, the housing of the safety module 300 can be connected to the mounting plate 101 by fasteners, snap-fitted to the mounting plate 101, or welded to the mounting plate 101. The two limiting plates 102 are respectively connected to the mounting plate 101, and the two limiting plates 102 and the mounting plate 101 form a U-shaped structure.

[0040] The limiting assembly 200 includes a screw 201 and a locking nut 202 sleeved on the screw 201. One of the ends of the two limiting plates 102 away from the mounting plate 101 is provided with a connecting groove 103. One end of the screw 201 is hinged to the other end. The screw 201 can swing so that its other end passes through the connecting groove 103. After being locked by the locking nut 202, it surrounds the mounting frame 100 to form a clamping channel through which the crossbeam 400 passes.

[0041] When the safety module 300 needs to be installed on the crossbeam 400 of the trolley moving mechanism of the crane, the safety module 300 is installed on the mounting plate 101. Then, the U-shaped structure formed by the mounting plate 101 and the two limiting plates 102 is fitted over the crossbeam 400. Then, the screw 201 is swung so that the screw 201 passes through the connecting groove 103. Then, the locking nut 202 is fitted onto the screw 201 and the locking nut 202 is tightened so that the locking nut 202 abuts against the end face of the limiting plate 102 with the connecting groove 103 facing away from the other limiting plate 102. After being locked by the locking nut 202, the screw 201 cooperates with the mounting bracket 100 to clamp the crossbeam 400, thereby realizing the installation of the safety module 300. The installation is simple and convenient, saving time and effort. In addition, by loosening the locking nut 202, the mounting bracket 100 can also drive the safety module 300 to make a fine adjustment along the length of the crossbeam 400, so that the projector and vision probe inside the safety module 300 are precisely facing the ground below the lifting mechanism of the crane, which is more practical.

[0042] refer to Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the mounting plate 101 is vertically arranged and is used to fit against the side wall of the crossbeam 400. The two limiting plates 102 are horizontally arranged and vertically arranged. The two limiting plates 102 are respectively used to fit against the top surface and bottom surface of the crossbeam 400.

[0043] In this embodiment, the mounting plate 101 is vertically arranged, meaning its surface is vertical, which makes installing the safety module 300 more convenient. Two limiting plates 102 are arranged vertically. The mounting plate 101 is attached to the side wall of the crossbeam 400, and the two limiting plates 102 are respectively attached to the top and bottom surfaces of the crossbeam 400. Thus, the upper limiting plate 102 is supported by the crossbeam 400, making the installation platform more stable.

[0044] refer to Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the connecting groove 103 is provided on the upper limiting plate 102, and the bottom end of the screw 201 is hinged to the lower limiting plate 102. In this embodiment, this arrangement makes it more convenient to put on and tighten the locking nut 202.

[0045] refer to Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the connecting groove 103 includes a first groove segment 104 and a second groove segment 105. The first groove segment 104 extends along the thickness direction of the mounting plate 101 and penetrates the surface of the upper limiting plate 102 away from the mounting plate 101. The second groove segment 105 is connected to the end of the first groove segment 104 near the mounting plate 101, and the extension direction of the second groove segment 105 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the first groove segment 104. The screw 201 can swing to pass through the first groove segment 104 and into the second groove segment 105. For example, the connecting groove 103 is located on the upper limiting plate 102, extends vertically, and is approximately L-shaped. Both the first groove segment 104 and the second groove segment 105 extend horizontally.

[0046] In this embodiment, the screw 201 is locked by the locking nut 202 after passing through the second groove section 105. The screw 201 needs to turn into the first groove section 104 and pass through the first groove section 104 before it can separate from the upper limiting plate 102. This makes the locking effect of the locking nut 202 better and the connection between the screw 201 and the upper limiting plate 102 more stable, thereby making the installation of the vehicle safety module installation platform of this application more stable.

[0047] refer to Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the limiting component 200 further includes a spring member 203. One end of the spring member 203 is connected to the lower limiting plate 102, and the other end is connected to the screw 201. When the screw 201 passes through the second groove section 105, the spring member 203 is used to make the screw 201 fit against the end of the second groove section 105 away from the first groove section 104.

[0048] In this embodiment, when the screw 201 swings to the point where its end away from its hinge point passes through the first groove 104 and enters the second groove 105, the spring 203 extends and generates an elastic restoring force. Under the action of the elastic restoring force of the spring 203, the screw 201 remains attached to the end of the second groove 105 that is away from the first groove 104. With this configuration, even if the locking nut 202 loosens, the vehicle safety module installation platform of this application will not detach from the crossbeam 400 at will, making the installation of the vehicle safety module installation platform of this application more stable and safer.

[0049] refer to Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the lower limiting plate 102 is provided with a ball head structure 106, and the bottom end of the screw 201 is connected to the ball head structure 106.

[0050] In this application, the bottom end of the screw 201 is hinged to the side of the lower limiting plate 102 away from the mounting plate 101 via the ball head structure 106. This allows the screw 201 to swing in all directions, making it easier for the screw 201 to pass through the first groove section 104 and enter the second groove section 105, or to pass through the first groove section 104 and move out of the connecting groove 103.

[0051] refer to Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, at least two connecting grooves 103 and at least two screws 201 are provided. For example, there may be two connecting grooves 103 and two corresponding screws 201. The two connecting grooves 103 are arranged along the length direction of the edge of the corresponding limiting plate 102 away from the mounting plate 101, and the two screws 201 are arranged along the length direction of the edge of the corresponding limiting plate 102 away from the mounting plate 101.

[0052] In this embodiment, at least two connecting slots 103 and at least two screws 201 are provided, so that the crossbeam 400 is more securely held in conjunction with the mounting bracket 100.

[0053] refer to Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the outer peripheral wall of the screw 201 is provided with an abutment portion 204. When the screw 201 swings to pass through the connecting groove 103, the abutment portion 204 is used to abut against the crossbeam 400. For example, the abutment portion 204 can be welded to the outer peripheral wall of the screw 201 or it can be bonded to the outer peripheral wall of the screw 201. The abutment portion 204 can be made of metal or rubber.

[0054] In this embodiment, an abutment portion 204 is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the screw 201. When the screw 201 swings to pass through the connecting groove 103, the abutment portion 204 is used to abut against the crossbeam 400. In this way, the vehicle safety module installation platform of this application clamps the crossbeam 400 more stably, reducing the possibility of the vehicle safety module installation platform sliding at will.

[0055] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the mounting plate 101 is equipped with a slider 107 that can slide up and down. The slider 107 is used to connect the safety module 300. The mounting bracket 100 also includes a lifting mechanism 108, which is disposed on the mounting plate 101 and used to connect to the safety module 300 to drive the safety module 300 to rise and fall. When the distance between the projector inside the safety module 300 and the ground is different, the diameter of the warning circle projected onto the ground is different.

[0056] In this embodiment, the lifting mechanism 108 is activated, which drives the safety module 300 to rise and adjust, thereby ensuring that the warning circle projected onto the ground by the projector inside the safety module 300 is within a suitable diameter range, thus achieving a better warning effect.

[0057] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the lifting mechanism 108 includes a lead screw 109 and a handle 110. The lead screw 109 is rotatably mounted on the mounting plate 101 and extends vertically. The safety module 300 is provided with a transmission nut 301, which is threadedly connected to the lead screw 109. The handle 110 is located at the top of the lead screw 109.

[0058] In this embodiment, rotating the handle 110 will drive the lead screw 109 to rotate. The lead screw 109 will drive the safety module 300 to slide up and down by engaging with the transmission nut 301 on the safety module 300 through the threaded connection, thereby realizing the lifting and lowering of the safety module 300. The structure is simple and the operation is convenient.

[0059] It should be noted that the lifting mechanism 108 can also be other structures, such as a hydraulic cylinder, which drives the safety module 300 to lift by extending and retracting.

[0060] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
