Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts, and in particular to a camera decorative component structure without main and secondary positioning parts. Background Technology

[0002] A car fender camera trim is a functional and aesthetically pleasing exterior accessory typically installed on the front fender near the wheel arch to cover or decorate the camera module embedded in that area. With the increasing prevalence of intelligent driving and driver assistance systems (such as 360-degree surround view cameras and blind spot monitoring), more and more cars are equipped with cameras in the fender position. The trim not only protects the camera from dust, rain, and stone impacts but also enhances the overall appearance of the vehicle. Furthermore, its structural design usually considers aerodynamic performance and ease of installation and removal, ensuring that it does not affect the camera's normal operating angle and field of view.

[0003] Existing automotive fender trim pieces generally rely on main and auxiliary locating ribs / pins to achieve assembly positioning with the fender. If these locating parts are missing, or if they become loose, misaligned, deformed, or even missing during the actual assembly process, they cannot be positioned and installed with the fender, resulting in low assembly efficiency and easy occurrence of problems such as offset and skew, which in turn affects the consistency of camera imaging. Furthermore, producing additional locating parts during the production process is quite troublesome, with a high loss rate and high production costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application provides a camera decorative component structure without primary and secondary positioning components, adopting the following technical solution: A camera decorative component structure without primary and secondary positioning components includes a decorative protective cover, a sensor support base, and a camera assembly. The decorative protective cover has a camera window. The structure also includes a positioning and fixing structure disposed on the decorative protective cover and the sensor support base. The positioning and fixing structure is used to position and connect the decorative protective cover and the sensor support base relative to the fender of the vehicle when there are no primary and secondary positioning components.

[0005] Preferably, the positioning and fixing structure includes a plurality of buckles, which are arranged circumferentially around the sensor support base and are fixedly connected to the sensor support base.

[0006] Preferably, the buckle is provided with a buckle boss, which is fixedly connected to the side of the buckle, and the buckle is used to engage with the fender.

[0007] Preferably, the base of the buckle located at both ends of the sensor support base is provided with a reinforcing rib. The height of the reinforcing rib in the assembly direction is greater than that of the buckle boss. During the assembly process with the fender, the reinforcing rib contacts the fender before the buckle boss for alignment and guidance.

[0008] Preferably, the sensor support base is provided with a plurality of top ribs, which are arranged at intervals along the longitudinal direction of the sensor support base.

[0009] Preferably, the top rib is a protruding part of the top rib extending downward from the periphery of the sensor support base and forming a bottom surface of the sensor support base. The protruding part of the top rib is used for limiting the position during the installation process.

[0010] Preferably, the sensor support base is divided into a first camera mounting base and a second camera mounting base, and a placement groove is provided in the sensor support base, and a number of positioning ribs are fixedly connected in the placement groove.

[0011] Preferably, the outer side of the placement slot is provided with a fixing hole and a fixing member, and the fixing member passes through the camera assembly and is connected to the fixing hole.

[0012] Preferably, the camera assembly includes a camera bracket and a camera, the camera being placed inside the camera bracket, and the camera bracket being plugged into and fixed to the sensor support base.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. The camera decorative component structure directly connects to the fender through a decorative protective cover and a positioning and fixing structure on the sensor support base. The reinforcing rib structure with buckles at both ends restricts the movement in three directions during the overall installation process. The remaining three directions are restricted by the top rib protrusion and the buckle boss. The multi-point coordinated assembly can achieve precise positioning and connection even without main and auxiliary positioning components, avoiding assembly deviation problems caused by loose, misaligned or missing positioning components, improving consistency and reliability, and significantly reducing the alignment difficulty during assembly.

[0014] 2. The camera decorative component structure effectively prevents damage to the sensor support base and camera assembly from overpressure through the reinforcing ribs at the bottom of the buckle and the top ribs at the top of the sensor support base. Furthermore, the positioning ribs in the placement groove provide circumferential and radial constraints on the camera assembly, ensuring that the camera is installed in a precise and uniform position within the placement groove.

[0030] An embodiment of this utility model provides a camera decorative component structure without primary and secondary positioning components.

[0031] Example: Figure 1-3 , Figure 5 and Figure 8-10As shown, a camera decorative component structure without primary and secondary positioning components includes a decorative protective cover 1, a sensor support base 2, and a camera assembly 4. The decorative protective cover 1 has a camera window 101. It also includes a positioning and fixing structure 5, which is disposed on the decorative protective cover 1 and the sensor support base 2. The positioning and fixing structure 5 is used to position the decorative protective cover 1 and the sensor support base 2 relative to the vehicle's fender when no primary or secondary positioning components are present. The positioning and fixing structure 5 includes several latches 203, which are circumferentially arranged around the sensor support base 2 and fixedly connected to it. Each latch 203 has a latching boss 232, which is fixedly connected to the side of the latch 203 and is used to engage with the fender. The base of the latches 203 located at both ends of the sensor support base 2 is provided with reinforcing ribs 231. The height of the reinforcing ribs 231 in the assembly direction is greater than that of the latch bosses 232. During the assembly process with the fender, the reinforcing ribs 231 contact the fenders before the latch bosses 232 for alignment and guidance. The sensor support base 2 is provided with a plurality of top ribs 207, which are spaced apart along the longitudinal direction of the sensor support base 2. The top ribs 207 extend downward from the periphery of the sensor support base 2 to form top rib protrusions 271 around the bottom surface of the sensor support base 2. The top rib protrusions 271 are used for limiting during the installation process. The sensor support base 2 is divided into a first camera mounting base 201 and a second camera mounting base 202. The sensor support base 2 has a placement groove 204, and a plurality of positioning ribs 241 are fixedly connected in the placement groove 204.

[0032] like Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown: Several connectors 102 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the decorative protective cover 1, and several connector holes 208 are provided on the sensor support base 2. The connectors 102 are connected to the connector holes 208. After the connectors are connected, the joint between the connectors 102 and the connector holes 208 is hot-melt welded. Through the connector and hot-melt welding, the sensor support base 2 and the decorative protective cover 1 are integrated. After the decorative protective cover 1 and the sensor support base 2 form an integrated structure, the joint between the two is subjected to multi-point sheet metal processing to improve the service life.

[0033] like Figure 6As shown: The placement slot 204 has a fixing hole 205 and a fixing member 206 on its outer side. The fixing member 206 passes through the camera assembly 4 and is connected to the fixing hole 205. The camera assembly 4 includes a camera bracket 301 and a camera 3. The camera 3 is placed inside the camera bracket 301, and the camera bracket 301 is inserted and fixed to the sensor support base 2.

[0034] When using this utility model: During the assembly of the camera decorative parts, the connectors 102 on the decorative protective cover 1 are first aligned and inserted into the connector holes 208 on the first camera mounting base 201 and the second camera mounting base 202, respectively. Then, the joints between the connectors 102 and the connector holes 208 are heat-fused to form an integrated assembly structure with the first camera mounting base 201, the second camera mounting base 202 and the decorative protective cover 1. Then, the camera 3 is aligned with the positioning rib 241 on the placement groove 204 and inserted into the placement groove 204. After the camera 3 is positioned and inserted, it faces the camera window 101. Then, the mounting hole on the camera bracket 301 is aligned with the fixing hole 205. Then, the fixing piece 206 is passed through the camera bracket 301 and connected to the fixing hole 205, so that the camera assembly 4 is connected to the sensor support base 2 and the decorative protective cover 1.

[0035] During the installation of the camera trim and fender, because the height of the reinforcing rib 231 in the assembly direction is greater than that of the snap-fit ​​boss 232, the reinforcing rib 231 contacts the fender before the snap-fit ​​boss 232 for alignment and guidance, thus playing a positioning role. During the installation process, the reinforcing rib 231 structure of the snap-fit ​​203 at both ends restricts the positioning in three directions after installation. The remaining three directions are restricted by the top rib protrusion 271 and the snap-fit ​​boss 232, thus achieving the positioning and installation of the assembly.
