[0021] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the support structure 100 and the information transmission device 200 provided in the embodiments of this application, showing one perspective when they are assembled together. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram from another perspective showing the bracket structure 100 and the information transmission device 200 assembled together according to an embodiment of this application. The bracket structure 100 includes a bracket body 10 and a light shield 20. The information transmission device 200 includes, but is not limited to, an ADAS camera, a LiDAR, etc. In the following embodiments of this application, the information transmission device 200 is exemplified by an ADAS camera.

[0022] The support body 10 is used to support the information transmission device 200 on the glass body. It is understood that the information transmission device 200 can be fixed between the support body 10 and the glass body. In terms of shape, the support body 10 can be a plate-shaped support, a frame-shaped support, or a combination of plate and frame. In terms of material, the support body 10 can be a plastic support, a metal support, or a composite material support. In this embodiment, the inner surface of the support body 10 refers to the surface of the support body 10 facing the glass body, and the outer surface of the support body 10 refers to the surface of the support body 10 away from the glass body.

[0023] like Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3This is a schematic diagram of a support body 10 provided in an embodiment of this application. In one possible embodiment, the support body 10 may include a first support plate 101, a second support plate 102, and a third support plate 103 connected sequentially. The first support plate 101, the second support plate 102, and the third support plate 103 may be integrally formed, or the first support plate 101 may be welded to the second support plate 102, and the second support plate 102 may be welded to the third support plate 103. There may be bends between the first support plate 101 and the second support plate 102, and between the third support plate 103 and the second support plate 102. At least one of the first support plate 101, the second support plate 102, and the third support plate 103 is used to connect to the glass body. When the first support plate 101 is connected to the glass body, its inner surface can be bonded to the inner surface of the glass body. Similarly, when the second support plate 102 is connected to the glass body, its inner surface can be bonded to the inner surface of the glass body. Likewise, when the third support plate 103 is connected to the glass body, its inner surface can be bonded to the inner surface of the glass body. At least one of the first support plate 101, the second support plate 102, and the third support plate 103 is used to support the information transmission device 200. Optionally, the second support plate 102 is used to support the information transmission device 200. In this case, the second support plate 102 and the information transmission device 200 can be detachably connected, including but not limited to snap-fit ​​or bolted connections.

[0024] In one possible embodiment, the second support plate 102 may include at least one first connecting nut 120, and the information transmission device 200 may include at least one first connecting hole. The information transmission device 200 can be supported on the second support plate 102 by bolts passing through the first connecting hole and cooperating with the first connecting nut 120. The number of first connecting nuts 120 can be one or more. In embodiments where the number of first connecting nuts 120 is multiple, the number of first connecting nuts 120 may include, but is not limited to, two, three, or four. The multiple first connecting nuts 120 may be evenly distributed or scattered. This embodiment uses four first connecting nuts 120 as an example. Two of the four first connecting nuts 120 are located on the side of the second support plate 102 closer to the first support plate 101, and the other two are located on the side of the second support plate 102 closer to the third support plate 103. During the molding process of the bracket body 10, the first connecting nut 120 can be pre-embedded in the bracket body 10. For example, during the injection molding process of the bracket body 10, the first connecting nut 120 can be directly formed by injection molding through the mold. This can ensure the accuracy of the position of the first connecting nut 120 and improve the installation accuracy of the information transmission device 200 and the bracket body 10.

[0025] In addition, the first support plate 101 and / or the third support plate 103 may also have clearance holes for avoiding other structures; and / or, the first support plate 101 and / or the third support plate 103 may also have connection structures for connecting other structures; and / or, the first support plate 101 and / or the third support plate 103 may also have reinforcing structures for enhancing the strength of the support body 10; and / or, the first support plate 101 and / or the third support plate 103 may also have anti-deformation structures for improving the deformation resistance of the support body 10, etc.

[0026] The material of the light shield 20 can be plastic, metal, or composite material. The light shield 20 is detachably connected to the bracket body 10. The detachable connection method includes, but is not limited to, snap-fit ​​or bolt connection. The detachable connection between the light shield 20 and the bracket body 10 facilitates the removal of the light shield 20, thereby making it easy to replace or repair the light shield 20 when optical problems or dirt occur.

[0027] like Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a light shield 20 provided in an embodiment of this application. The light shield 20 includes a bent and connected light shield base plate 201 and a light shield peripheral side plate 202. A mating surface 220 is formed on the side of the light shield peripheral side plate 202 away from the light shield base plate 201. The mating surface 220 is used for physical contact with the surface of the glass body.

[0028] In this embodiment, the inner surface of the light-shielding base plate 201 refers to the surface of the light-shielding base plate 201 facing the glass body, and the outer surface of the light-shielding base plate 201 refers to the surface of the light-shielding base plate 201 away from the glass body. When the support structure 100 is installed on the glass body, the light-shielding base plate 201 and the glass body can be parallel or approximately parallel, and the light-shielding peripheral side plate 202 stands vertically between the light-shielding base plate 201 and the glass body. The light-shielding base plate 201 and the light-shielding peripheral side plate 202 can be vertically connected or obliquely connected. When the light-shielding base plate 201 and the light-shielding peripheral side plate 202 are vertically connected, the bending angle between the light-shielding base plate 201 and the light-shielding peripheral side plate 202 is equal to or close to 90°. When the light-shielding base plate 201 and the light-shielding peripheral side plate 202 are connected at an angle, the bending angle between them can be greater than 90° and less than 180°, or the bending angle can be less than 90° and greater than 0°. To ensure a seamless fit between the light-shielding peripheral side plate 202 and the surface of the glass body, when the light-shielding base plate 201 and the light-shielding peripheral side plate 202 are connected at an angle, the bending angle between them is preferably greater than 95° and less than 135°, or the bending angle is preferably less than 85° and greater than 45°.

[0029] The light-shielding peripheral side plate 202 can be annular, that is, the light-shielding peripheral side plate 202 can surround the light-shielding base plate 201 around the edge of the light-shielding base plate 201. Alternatively, the light-shielding peripheral side plate 202 can be semi-annular, that is, the light-shielding peripheral side plate 202 can be provided around the light-shielding base plate 201 along the edge of the light-shielding base plate 201.

[0030] The surface of the side of the light-shielding peripheral plate 202 away from the light-shielding base plate 201 can also be understood as the top surface of the light-shielding peripheral plate 202. The inner surface of the light-shielding peripheral plate 202 is connected to the inner surface of the light-shielding base plate 201, and the outer surface of the light-shielding peripheral plate 202 is connected to the outer surface of the light-shielding base plate 201. The top surface of the light-shielding peripheral plate 202 connects between the inner and outer surfaces. The mating surface 220 can be at least a portion of the top surface of the light-shielding peripheral plate 202. Physical contact between the mating surface 220 and the surface of the glass body can be understood as no gap between the mating surface 220 and the surface of the glass body. Alternatively, it can be understood as a zero-fit mating between the mating surface 220 and the surface of the glass body.

[0031] The bracket structure 100 provided in this application includes a bracket body 10 and a light shield 20. The bracket body 10 supports the information transmission device 200 on the surface of the glass body. The light shield 20 is detachably connected to the bracket body 10. The light shield 20 includes a bent and connected light-shielding base plate 201 and a light-shielding peripheral side plate 202. A mating surface 220 is formed on the side of the light-shielding peripheral side plate 202 away from the light-shielding base plate 201. The mating surface 220 is used for physical contact with the surface of the glass body. This design, which directly contacts the surface of the glass body through the light-shielding peripheral side plate 202, reduces the fitting requirements between the light shield 20 and the bracket body 10, avoiding light leakage caused by slight deviations in the fit between the light shield 20 and the bracket body 10. In addition, the detachable connection between the light shield 20 and the bracket body 10 facilitates the disassembly of the light shield 20. Therefore, in subsequent maintenance, repair, and maintenance stages, only the light shield 20 needs to be replaced, enabling long-term use of the bracket body 10 and the glass body, thereby reducing replacement costs.

[0032] like Figure 4 As shown, in one possible embodiment, the light-shielding peripheral side panel 202 includes a first light-shielding side panel 221, a second light-shielding side panel 222, a third light-shielding side panel 223, and a fourth light-shielding side panel 224 connected end-to-end. A first sub-matching surface is formed on the surface of the first light-shielding side panel 221 away from the light-shielding base plate 201; a second sub-matching surface is formed on the surface of the second light-shielding side panel 222 away from the light-shielding base plate 201; a third sub-matching surface is formed on the surface of the third light-shielding side panel 223 away from the light-shielding base plate 201; and a fourth sub-matching surface is formed on the surface of the fourth light-shielding side panel 224 away from the light-shielding base plate 201. The first, second, third, and fourth sub-matching surfaces form the matching surface 220.

[0033] In this embodiment, the first light-shielding side panel 221 and the third light-shielding side panel 223 are disposed opposite to each other, and the second light-shielding side panel 222 and the fourth light-shielding side panel 224 are disposed opposite to each other. For example, in this embodiment, the first light-shielding side panel 221 and the third light-shielding side panel 223 are disposed opposite to each other along the width direction of the light-shielding cover 20, and the second light-shielding side panel 222 and the fourth light-shielding side panel 224 are disposed opposite to each other along the length direction of the light-shielding cover 20. The surface of the first light-shielding side panel 221 away from the light-shielding base plate 201 is the top surface of the first light-shielding side panel 221. The first sub-matching surface includes at least a portion of the top surface of the first light-shielding side panel 221. The surface of the second light-shielding side panel 222 away from the light-shielding base plate 201 is the top surface of the second light-shielding side panel 222. The second sub-matching surface includes at least a portion of the top surface of the second light-shielding side panel 222. The surface of the third light-shielding side panel 223 away from the light-shielding base plate 201 is the top surface of the third light-shielding side panel 223. The third sub-matching surface includes at least a portion of the top surface of the third light-shielding side plate 223. The surface of the fourth light-shielding side plate 224 away from the light-shielding base plate 201 is the top surface of the fourth light-shielding side plate 224. The fourth sub-matching surface includes at least a portion of the top surface of the fourth light-shielding side plate 224.

[0034] The top surface of the first light-shielding side plate 221 connects the inner and outer surfaces of the first light-shielding side plate 221. The inner surface of the first light-shielding side plate 221 can be a vertical plane, an inclined plane, or an arc-shaped surface. The outer surface of the first light-shielding side plate 221 can be a vertical plane, an inclined plane, or an arc-shaped surface. Taking the inner surface of the first light-shielding side plate 221 as an example, when the inner surface of the first light-shielding side plate 221 is a vertical plane, the inner surface of the first light-shielding side plate 221 is perpendicular to the inner surface of the light-shielding base plate 201. When the inner surface of the first light-shielding side plate 221 is an inclined plane, the inner surface of the first light-shielding side plate 221 is inclined relative to the inner surface of the light-shielding base plate 201 and is not perpendicular. The top surface of the second light-shielding side plate 222 connects the inner and outer surfaces of the second light-shielding side plate 222. The inner surface of the second light-shielding side plate 222 can be a vertical plane, an inclined plane, or an arc-shaped surface. The outer surface of the second light-shielding side panel 222 can be a vertical plane, an inclined plane, or a curved surface. The top surface of the third light-shielding side panel 223 connects the inner surface and the outer surface of the third light-shielding side panel 223. The inner surface of the third light-shielding side panel 223 can be a vertical plane, an inclined plane, or a curved surface. The outer surface of the third light-shielding side panel 223 can be a vertical plane, an inclined plane, or a curved surface. The top surface of the fourth light-shielding side panel 224 connects the inner surface of the third light-shielding side panel 223 and the outer surface of the fourth light-shielding side panel 224. The inner surface of the fourth light-shielding side panel 224 can be a vertical plane, an inclined plane, or a curved surface. The outer surface of the fourth light-shielding side panel 224 can be a vertical plane, an inclined plane, or a curved surface. In one possible embodiment, the inner surface of the first light-shielding side plate 221 and the inner surface of the third light-shielding side plate 223 can be vertical planes, and the inner surface of the second light-shielding side plate 222 and the inner surface of the fourth light-shielding side plate 224 can be inclined planes.

[0035] Understandably, the first sub-matching surface is used for physical contact with the surface of the glass body. The second sub-matching surface is used for physical contact with the surface of the glass body. The third sub-matching surface is used for physical contact with the surface of the glass body. The fourth sub-matching surface is used for physical contact with the surface of the glass body.

[0036] In this embodiment, the light-shielding side plate 202 is in physical contact with the surface of the glass body all around its perimeter. This ensures that a light-proof space is formed between the light-shielding base plate 201 and the surface of the glass body, guaranteeing the shooting effect of the information transmission device 200. Compared with the solution where the support body 10 is in physical contact with the surface of the glass body, this method can improve the reliability of preventing light leakage and can simplify or eliminate the position matching between the light shield 20 and the support body 10, thereby reducing the assembly difficulty of the support structure 100.

[0037] In one possible implementation, the first light-shielding side plate 221 is positioned toward the mounting location of the information transmission device 200. The second light-shielding side plate 222 has at least one stress-reducing groove 225 formed on the side away from the light-shielding base plate 201, and / or, the fourth light-shielding side plate 224 has at least one stress-reducing groove 225 formed on the side away from the light-shielding base plate 201.

[0038] Understandably, the first light-shielding side plate 221 and the bracket body 10 are used to support the information transmission device 200.

[0039] The second light-shielding side plate 222 can be longer than the first light-shielding side plate 221, and the fourth light-shielding side plate 224 can be longer than the first light-shielding side plate 221. In one possible embodiment, the third light-shielding side plate 223 can be longer than the second light-shielding side plate 222 and longer than the fourth light-shielding side plate 224. The stress-reducing groove 225 can disperse the stress between the light-shielding cover 20 and the glass body when the light-shielding side plate 202 is in physical contact with the surface of the glass body, thereby preventing the light-shielding cover 20 from undergoing large deformation and the glass body from being crushed. The stress-reducing groove 225 can be an arc-shaped groove or a rectangular groove. In this embodiment, the stress-reducing groove 225 is a rectangular groove. In one possible embodiment, the groove depth of the stress-reducing groove 225 can be less than or equal to 2 mm.

[0040] In one possible embodiment, one or more mounting grooves may be formed on the side of the first light-shielding side plate 221 away from the light-shielding base plate 201. The mounting groove can be an arc-shaped groove or a rectangular groove. In this embodiment, an arc-shaped groove is used as an example. When the information transmission device 200 is supported between the first light-shielding side plate 221 and the bracket body 10, the mounting groove of the first light-shielding side plate 221 can limit the information transmission device 200, reduce the shaking of the information transmission device 200, and improve the stability of the support for the information transmission device 200.

[0041] In one possible embodiment, at least one first stress-reducing groove is formed on the side of the second light-shielding side plate 222 away from the light-shielding base plate 201, and the opening of the first stress-reducing groove is flush with the second sub-matching surface. It is understood that the first stress-reducing groove can divide the second sub-matching surface into two parts located on opposite sides of the stress-reducing groove 225. The number of first stress-reducing grooves can be one or more. In this embodiment, two first stress-reducing grooves are used as an example. The first stress-reducing groove can be located in or near the middle region of the side of the second light-shielding side plate 222 away from the light-shielding base plate 201. Along the thickness direction of the second light-shielding side plate 222, the first stress-reducing groove may or may not penetrate the second light-shielding side plate 222. In other words, the first stress relief groove can penetrate the inner side of the second light-shielding side plate 222 and also penetrate the outer side of the second light-shielding side plate 222; or, the first stress relief groove can penetrate the inner side of the second light-shielding side plate 222 but not penetrate the outer side of the second light-shielding side plate 222; or, the first stress relief groove can not penetrate the inner side of the second light-shielding side plate 222 and not penetrate the outer side of the second light-shielding side plate 222.

[0042] In another possible embodiment, at least one second stress-reducing groove is formed on the side of the fourth light-shielding side plate 224 away from the light-shielding base plate 201, and the opening of the second stress-reducing groove is flush with the fourth sub-matching surface. It is understood that the second stress-reducing groove can divide the fourth sub-matching surface into two parts located on opposite sides of the stress-reducing groove 225. The number of second stress-reducing grooves can be one or more. This embodiment uses two second stress-reducing grooves as an example. The second stress-reducing groove can be located in or near the middle region of the side of the fourth light-shielding side plate 224 away from the light-shielding base plate 201. Along the thickness direction of the fourth light-shielding side plate 224, the second stress-reducing groove may or may not penetrate the fourth light-shielding side plate 224. In other words, the second stress relief groove can penetrate the inner side of the fourth light-shielding side plate 224 and also penetrate the outer side of the fourth light-shielding side plate 224; or, the second stress relief groove can penetrate the inner side of the fourth light-shielding side plate 224 but not penetrate the outer side of the fourth light-shielding side plate 224; or, the second stress relief groove can not penetrate the inner side of the fourth light-shielding side plate 224 and not penetrate the outer side of the fourth light-shielding side plate 224.

[0043] In another possible embodiment, the second light-shielding side plate 222 has at least one first stress-reducing groove formed on the side away from the light-shielding base plate 201, the opening of the first stress-reducing groove being flush with the second sub-matching surface, and the fourth light-shielding side plate 224 has at least one second stress-reducing groove formed on the side away from the light-shielding base plate 201, the opening of the second stress-reducing groove being flush with the fourth sub-matching surface. In this embodiment, the number of first stress-reducing grooves and the number of second stress-reducing grooves may be the same or different.

[0044] Of course, in other possible embodiments, at least one stress-reducing groove 225 may be formed on the side of the first light-shielding side plate 221 away from the light-shielding bottom plate 201, and / or at least one stress-reducing groove 225 may be formed on the side of the third light-shielding side plate 223 away from the light-shielding bottom plate 201.

[0045] Since the surface of the light-shielding peripheral plate 202 away from the light-shielding base plate 201 has a matching surface 220, which is used to physically contact the surface of the glass body, large stress is easily generated between the light-shielding peripheral plate 202 and the glass body when the support structure 100 is installed on the glass body. However, in this embodiment, by forming stress-reducing grooves 225 in the second light-shielding side plate 222 and / or the fourth light-shielding side plate 224 of the light-shielding peripheral plate 202, the stress between the light shield 20 and the glass body can be reduced, thus avoiding large deformation of the light shield 20 and the crushing of the glass body.

[0046] Please refer to Figures 4 to 6 , Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the light shield 20 provided in an embodiment of this application from another perspective. Figure 6 for Figure 1 The diagram shows a cross-sectional view of the support structure 100 along line AA. In one possible embodiment, the light shield 20 further includes at least one connecting plate 203, which is connected to the outer surface of the light shield peripheral plate 202. The connecting plate 203 is detachably connected to the support body 10.

[0047] The outer surface of the light-shielding peripheral side plate 202 includes the outer surface of the first light-shielding side plate 221, the outer surface of the second light-shielding side plate 222, the outer surface of the third light-shielding side plate 223, and the outer surface of the fourth light-shielding side plate 224. There can be one or more connecting plates 203. In embodiments where there are multiple connecting plates 203, the multiple connecting plates 203 can be connected to the outer surface of the same light-shielding side plate or to the outer surface of different light-shielding side plates. The connecting plate 203 can be integrally formed with the light-shielding peripheral side plate 202, or the connecting plate 203 can be welded to the outer surface of the light-shielding peripheral side plate 202.

[0048] In one possible embodiment, at least one connecting plate 203 includes at least one first connecting plate and at least one second connecting plate. The first connecting plate is connected to the outer side of the second light-shielding side plate 222. The second connecting plate is connected to the outer side of the fourth light-shielding side plate 224. In this embodiment, there are multiple first connecting plates and multiple second connecting plates, with the number of first connecting plates and second connecting plates being the same, both being three. Of course, in other possible embodiments, the number of first connecting plates and the number of second connecting plates may be different. In embodiments where there are multiple first connecting plates, the multiple first connecting plates may be the same or different in size, and the multiple first connecting plates may have the same or different shapes. In embodiments where there are multiple second connecting plates, the multiple second connecting plates may be the same or different in size, and the multiple second connecting plates may have the same or different shapes.

[0049] Each connecting plate 203 has at least one connecting hole 230. In one possible embodiment, each first connecting plate has at least one second connecting hole, and each second connecting plate has at least one third connecting hole. The first support plate 101 may include at least one second connecting nut. The third support plate 103 may include at least one third connecting nut. The light shield 20 and the support body 10 can be detachably connected by bolts passing through the second connecting holes of the first connecting plates and engaging with the second connecting nuts, and can also be detachably connected by bolts passing through the third connecting holes of the second connecting plates and engaging with the third connecting nut. The second connecting nut can be pre-embedded in the support body 10, for example, during the injection molding process of the support body 10, the second connecting nut can be directly formed by injection molding, thus ensuring the accuracy of the position of the second connecting nut. The third connecting nut can be pre-embedded in the support body 10, for example, during the injection molding process of the support body 10, the third connecting nut can be directly formed by injection molding, thus ensuring the accuracy of the position of the third connecting nut.

[0050] In this embodiment, the connection plate 203 facilitates the detachable connection between the light shield 20 and the bracket body 10 through the cooperation of bolts and nuts. The cooperation of bolts and nuts can ensure the assembly accuracy between the light shield 20 and the bracket body 10, and the assembly is simple and can be repeatedly and quickly disassembled.

[0051] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 7 , Figure 7 for Figure 1 The diagram shows a cross-sectional view of the support structure 100 along line BB. In one possible embodiment, the support structure 100 further includes at least one electrical component 30, which is mounted on the outer surface of the light-shielding base plate 201.

[0052] The electrical device 30 includes, but is not limited to, sensors, lidar, or wireless communication devices. For example, the electrical device 30 may include a defogging sensor for measuring the moisture concentration on the windows and controlling the windows to perform defogging accordingly; or the electrical device 30 may include a lidar sensor to help the vehicle identify objects on or near the road to avoid collisions with pedestrians, cyclists, animals, and other stationary / moving vehicles; or the electrical device 30 may include a navigation antenna, a Bluetooth antenna, a radar antenna, a V2V (vehicle-to-vehicle) antenna, or a V2I (vehicle-to-infrastructure) antenna, etc., for wireless communication.

[0053] The number of electrical components 30 can be one or more. In embodiments where there are multiple electrical components 30, the multiple electrical components 30 can be electrical components 30 with the same function or electrical components 30 with different functions. In this embodiment, two electrical components 30 are mounted on the outer surface of the light-shielding base plate 201 as an example.

[0054] In one possible embodiment, the electrical component 30 can preferably be a component with lower structural strength requirements or higher heat dissipation requirements. Placing the electrical component 30 on the outer surface of the light-shielding base plate 201 avoids causing appearance defects such as shrinkage on the surface of the light-shielding cover 20. Placing the electrical component 30 on the outer surface of the light-shielding base plate 201 allows for heat dissipation through the light-shielding cover 20, improving the reliability of the electrical component 30.

[0055] When the bracket structure 100 is installed on the glass body, the electrical component 30 is located on the side of the light-shielding base plate 201 opposite to the glass body. The electrical component 30 can be fixed to the light-shielding base plate 201, including but not limited to the electrical component 30 being welded to the light-shielding base plate 201, or the electrical component 30 being snapped onto the light-shielding base plate 201, or the electrical component 30 being bolted to the light-shielding base plate 201.

[0056] By setting electrical components 30 on the outer surface of the light-shielding base plate 201, the back space of the light-shielding cover 20 can be effectively utilized, thereby expanding the application scenarios of the support structure 100 and realizing diverse support functions.

[0057] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5 In one possible implementation, at least one rib 210 is formed on the outer surface of the light-shielding base plate 201. The rib 210 is formed at a position corresponding to the mounting position of the electrical component 30.

[0058] The ribs 210 protrude from the outer surface of the light-shielding base plate 201. There can be one or more ribs 210. The shape of the ribs 210 includes, but is not limited to, a long strip, a cross shape, an L-shape, or an S-shape. In embodiments with multiple ribs 210, the shapes of the multiple ribs 210 can be the same or different. The height of the ribs 210 can be less than or equal to 2 mm. Preferably, the height of the ribs 210 is less than or equal to 1 mm. In embodiments with multiple ribs 210, the heights of the multiple ribs 210 can be the same or different. The ribs 210 are located between the electrical component 30 and the light-shielding cover 20.

[0059] In this embodiment, by forming ribs 210 on the light-shielding base plate 201, the position of the ribs 210 corresponds to the position of the electrical component 30, which can increase the heat dissipation of the electrical component 30 and prevent the light-shielding cover 20 from deforming when the temperature of the electrical component 30 is too high. This ensures a zero-fit fit between the light-shielding peripheral side plate 202 of the light-shielding cover 20 and the surface of the glass body.

[0060] like Figure 5 As shown, in one possible implementation, at least one honeycomb portion 211 is formed on the outer surface of the light-shielding base plate 201, the honeycomb portion 211 comprising a plurality of honeycomb cells.

[0061] Understandably, when the support structure 100 is mounted on the glass body, the honeycomb section 211 is located on the side of the light-shielding base plate 201 facing away from the glass body. The number of honeycomb sections 211 can be one or more. In embodiments where there are multiple honeycomb sections 211, the number includes, but is not limited to, two, three, or four. This embodiment uses three honeycomb sections 211 as an example. The three honeycomb sections 211 are arranged sequentially along the direction from the second light-shielding side plate 222 to the fourth light-shielding side plate 224, and are spaced apart in pairs. The electrical component 30 is disposed between two adjacent honeycomb sections 211.

[0062] Each cellular section 211 includes multiple cellular cells. The number of cellular cells can be the same or different. For example, each cellular section 211 may include 3, 5, 6, 7, 10, 12, 15, 17, or 20 cellular cells. Adjacent cellular cells can be connected. The shape of the cellular cells includes, but is not limited to, circles, triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons, or other polygons. The sidewall height of the cellular cells can be less than or equal to 2 mm. Preferably, the sidewall height of the cellular cells is less than or equal to 0.5 mm.

[0063] The design of the honeycomb section 211 in this embodiment can increase the support effect on the back side of the light-shielding base plate 201, improve the bending and compressive strength of the light-shielding cover 20, and reduce the deformation of the light-shielding cover 20. In addition, the design of the honeycomb section 211 can also disperse stress. When the light-shielding cover 20 is formed by injection molding, the honeycomb section 211 can change the material distribution, so that the stress is evenly distributed and the local stress concentration is reduced. It can also guide the shrinkage direction of the plastic during the cooling process, reduce the torsional force caused by uneven shrinkage in different places, and make the light-shielding cover 20 more stably maintain the designed shape.

[0064] like Figure 4 As shown, in one possible implementation, a light performance enhancement layer is formed on the inner surface of the light-shielding base plate 201 and / or the inner surface of the light-shielding peripheral side plate 202.

[0065] In this embodiment, the inner surface of the light-shielding peripheral side plate 202 includes the inner surface of the first light-shielding side plate 221, the inner surface of the second light-shielding side plate 222, the inner surface of the third light-shielding side plate 223, and the inner surface of the fourth light-shielding side plate 224. In one possible embodiment, both the inner surface of the light-shielding base plate 201 and the inner surface of the light-shielding peripheral side plate 202 are formed with a light performance enhancement layer. The light performance enhancement layer is used to improve the optical performance of the inner surface of the light-shielding base plate 201 and the inner surface of the light-shielding peripheral side plate 202, including but not limited to reflectivity, gloss, and light-shielding properties. The light performance enhancement layer includes, but is not limited to, a sprayed layer, a brushed layer, a printed layer, and a coated layer.

[0066] By forming a light performance enhancement layer on the inner surface of the light-shielding base plate 201 and / or the inner surface of the light-shielding peripheral side plate 202, the optical performance of the light shield 20 can be improved, making the image captured by the information transmission device 200 clearer, and covering the surface defects of the light shield 20, thus beautifying the appearance of the light shield 20.

[0067] On the other hand, such as Figure 8 As shown, this application also provides a glass assembly 1000. The glass assembly 1000 includes a glass body 300 and a support structure 100 as described in any of the above embodiments. The support structure 100 is assembled together with the glass body 300.

[0068] When classified by the mechanical properties of the glass, the glass body 300 can be tempered glass or ordinary glass; when classified by the number of layers of the glass, the glass body 300 can be single-layer glass, laminated glass, or multi-layer glass; when classified by the optical properties of the glass, the glass body 300 can be fully transparent glass, semi-transparent glass, high-transparency glass, low-transparency glass, transparent glass, or colored glass, etc.

[0069] The bracket structure 100 is assembled onto the inner surface of the glass body 300. Specifically, in an embodiment where the glass body 300 is a single-layer glass, the inner surface of the glass body 300 is the surface of the glass body 300 facing the interior of the vehicle. In an embodiment where the glass body 300 is laminated glass, the glass body 300 includes an outer glass plate, an intermediate connecting layer, and an inner glass plate stacked sequentially. The outer glass plate has a first surface and a second surface facing away from each other, and the inner glass plate has a third surface and a fourth surface facing away from each other. The intermediate connecting layer connects the second surface and the third surface, and the inner surface of the glass body 300 is the fourth surface of the inner glass plate. When the bracket structure 100 is assembled with the glass body 300, the surface of the light-shielding peripheral plate 202 of the sunshade 20 away from the light-shielding base plate 201 contacts the inner surface of the glass body 300, and the bracket body 10 can be bonded to the inner surface of the glass body 300.

[0070] Furthermore, this application also provides a vehicle. The vehicle includes, but is not limited to, passenger cars, trucks, tractor-trailers, special-purpose vehicles, and special-purpose vehicles. The vehicle includes an information transmission device 200, a body assembly, and a glass assembly 1000 as described in any of the above embodiments. The information transmission device 200 is mounted on the glass body 300 via the bracket structure 100. The glass body 300 is assembled together with the body assembly.

[0071] Body components may include body sheet metal, accessories, and trim pieces. Glass component 1000 may be the vehicle's windshield component. Glass body 300 is assembled with the body components, including but not limited to direct or indirect fixed connections between the glass body 300 and the body components. Bracket body 10 may also be assembled with the body components, including but not limited to direct or indirect fixed connections between the bracket body 10 and the body components.

The advantages and features described for the bracket structure 100 are applied accordingly to the glass assembly 1000 and the vehicle.
