Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle-related technology, and in particular to a vehicle trunk camera mounting structure. Background Technology

[0002] To enhance their intelligence, existing vehicles need to be equipped with cameras to capture images of the outside environment.

[0003] However, adding cameras to existing vehicle models presents significant structural challenges. Insufficient space on the crossbeam necessitates redesign and mold modifications. For instance, a conventional roof installation requires drilling holes in the roof cover to accommodate the camera wiring harness and shark fin antenna, necessitating adjustments to the crossbeam's profile and the drilling itself. Conversely, a glass roof requires creating notches to match the camera cover, necessitating modifications to the crossbeam's profile and drilling to ensure proper installation, watertightness, and wiring harness access.

[0004] Therefore, adding a camera to an existing vehicle model would require modifying the crossbeam and roof molds, which would involve high mold costs and additional parts costs. Utility Model Content

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a vehicle trunk camera mounting structure to address the technical problem that adding cameras to existing vehicle models requires mold modification and increases costs.

[0006] This utility model provides a vehicle trunk camera mounting structure, including: a mounting bracket fixedly connected to the inner panel of the trunk and a camera, one end of the camera being fixedly connected to the mounting bracket and the other end being inserted into an opening in the outer panel of the trunk.

[0007] Furthermore, the camera is also snapped together with the mounting bracket.

[0008] Furthermore, a buckle is installed at the rear end of the camera away from the outer panel of the suitcase, and a fixing hole is provided on the mounting bracket to cooperate with the buckle, and the buckle is fastened to the fixing hole.

[0009] Furthermore, the buckle is connected to the buckle mounting part, and the buckle mounting part covers the rear end of the camera.

[0010] Furthermore, the mounting bracket includes an integrally formed bracket connecting part and a bracket mounting part, the rear end of the bracket connecting part is fixedly connected to the inner panel of the luggage compartment, and the camera is fixedly connected to the bracket mounting part.

[0011] Furthermore, the rear end of the camera is bolted to the bracket mounting portion.

[0012] Furthermore, the bracket mounting part has one or more bracket mounting through holes, and a mounting back plate is provided on the back of the bracket mounting part. The mounting back plate has back plate mounting through holes corresponding to the bracket mounting through holes. Bolts pass through the back plate mounting through holes and the bracket mounting through holes in sequence and are then connected to the rear end of the camera.

[0013] Furthermore, a sealing ring is fitted around the front end of the camera near the outer panel of the suitcase, and the front end of the camera is sealed to the edge of the opening in the outer panel through the sealing ring.

[0014] Furthermore, the edge of the opening in the outer panel is provided with a flange extending toward the inner panel of the luggage compartment, and the sealing ring abuts against the flange.

[0015] Furthermore, the sealing ring includes a first watertight structure that engages with the flange seal and a second watertight structure that abuts against the outer panel of the luggage compartment.

[0016] This invention features a camera installed inside a suitcase. A mounting bracket is fixedly connected to the inner panel of the suitcase, with one end of the camera fixedly connected to the bracket and the other end inserted into an opening in the outer panel of the suitcase.

[0031] like Figure 1 The image shows an embodiment of the present invention: a vehicle trunk camera mounting structure, including a mounting bracket 1 fixedly connected to the trunk inner panel 3 and a camera 2. The camera 2 is inserted through an opening 41 in the outer panel of the trunk outer panel 4 and fixedly connected to the mounting bracket 1.

[0032] Specifically, the mounting bracket 1 is fixedly connected to the inner panel 3 of the luggage compartment. The fixed connection includes, but is not limited to, welding, bolting, and other connection methods.

[0033] Then, install camera 2 onto the inner panel 3 of the luggage compartment towards the outer panel 4 of the luggage compartment, inserting camera 2 into the opening 41 on the outer panel 4. Then, fix camera 2 to the mounting bracket 1. The fixing connection includes, but is not limited to, welding, bolt connection, and other connection methods.

[0034] This invention features a camera installed inside a suitcase. A mounting bracket is fixedly connected to the inner panel of the suitcase, with one end of the camera fixedly connected to the bracket and the other end inserted into an opening in the outer panel of the suitcase. Since the suitcase does not require re-molding, modification costs are minimal, saving on mold investment and parts costs, while also accommodating different suitcase configurations. Furthermore, compared to the bulge design of a shark fin style, the opening in the suitcase location offers better aesthetic quality. Finally, compared to placing it on a crossbeam, the structural design of placing it in the suitcase location is simpler.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 5 The following is another embodiment of the present invention: a vehicle trunk camera mounting structure, including: a mounting bracket 1 fixedly connected to the trunk inner panel 3 and a camera 2, one end of the camera 2 being fixedly connected to the mounting bracket 1, and the other end being inserted into the outer panel opening 41 of the trunk outer panel 4, and the camera 2 being snap-fitted to the mounting bracket 1;

[0036] A buckle 21 is installed at the rear end of the camera 2 away from the outer panel 4 of the luggage compartment. A fixing hole 10 is provided on the mounting bracket 1 to cooperate with the buckle 21. The buckle 21 is snapped into the fixing hole 10. The buckle 21 is connected to the buckle mounting part 22. The buckle mounting part 22 covers the rear end of the camera 2.

[0037] The mounting bracket 1 includes an integrally formed bracket connecting part 11 and bracket mounting part 12. The rear end of the bracket connecting part 11 is fixedly connected to the inner panel 3 of the luggage compartment, and the camera 2 is fixedly connected to the bracket mounting part 12.

[0038] The rear end of the camera 2 is bolted to the bracket mounting part 12. The bracket mounting part 12 has one or more bracket mounting through holes. The back of the bracket mounting part 12 is provided with a mounting back plate 13. The mounting back plate 13 has a back plate mounting through hole 131 corresponding to the bracket mounting through hole. The bolt 5 passes through the back plate mounting through hole 131 and the bracket mounting through hole in sequence and is connected to the rear end of the camera 2.

[0039] The camera 2 is fitted with a sealing ring 6 at the front end near the outer panel 4 of the luggage compartment. The front end of the camera 2 is sealed to the edge of the opening 41 of the outer panel through the sealing ring 6. The edge of the opening 41 of the outer panel is provided with a flange 411 extending toward the inner panel 3 of the luggage compartment. The sealing ring 6 abuts against the flange 411. The sealing ring 6 includes a first watertight structure 61 that seals with the flange 411 and a second watertight structure 62 that abuts against the outer panel 4 of the luggage compartment.

[0040] Specifically, camera 2 is installed in the luggage compartment, with an additional mounting bracket 1 added to the sheet metal. The mounting bracket 1 includes an integrally formed bracket connecting part 11 and a bracket mounting part 12. Preferably, the bracket connecting part 11 is perpendicular to the bracket mounting part 12. The rear end of the bracket connecting part 11 is connected to the sheet metal of the inner panel 3 of the luggage compartment.

[0041] In some embodiments, the mounting bracket 1 is welded or bolted to the inner panel 3 of the luggage compartment.

[0042] Preferably, the rear end of the bracket connecting part 11 is welded to the inner panel 3 of the luggage compartment. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the rear end of the bracket connecting part 11 is welded to the inner panel 3 of the luggage compartment at welding point A.

[0043] A buckle 21 is installed at the rear end of the camera 2, and a fixing hole 10 is provided on the mounting bracket 1 to cooperate with the buckle 21. Specifically, the fixing hole 10 is provided on the bracket mounting part 12.

[0044] like Figures 7 to 11 As shown, during installation, camera 2 is installed from the inner panel 3 of the trunk towards the outer panel 4. When the trunk is located at the rear of the vehicle, camera 2 is installed from the front of the vehicle to the rear. Figure 7 As shown, the inner panel 3 of the suitcase also has an inner panel notch 31. The camera 2 first passes through the inner panel notch 31 and moves towards the outer panel 4 of the suitcase. Then, as... Figure 8 As shown, the camera 2 passes through the mounting hole 10 of the mounting bracket 1, which is preferably a square hole. Then, as... Figure 9 As shown, the front end of camera 2 is inserted into the opening 41 on the outer panel of the luggage compartment 4 and then pushed further into the luggage compartment outer panel 4 for installation. Figure 10 As shown, the buckle 21 of the camera 2 has a protruding structure 212 on its bent surface 211. When it continues to push forward, after the protruding structure 212 passes through the fixing hole 10, under the action of the pre-tightening force, the bent surface 211 presses against the upper and lower parts of the fixing hole 10, and the protruding structure 212 cooperates to clamp and achieve pre-fixation.

[0045] Specifically, the rear end of the camera 2 is fitted with a snap-fit ​​mounting part 22, and the snap-fit ​​21 is connected to the snap-fit ​​mounting part 22. Preferably, the snap-fit ​​21 and the snap-fit ​​mounting part 22 are integrally formed.

[0046] like Figure 11 As shown, after pre-fixation, the camera 2 and the mounting bracket 1 are connected together using bolts 5. Specifically, the bracket mounting part 12 has one or more bracket mounting through holes, and a mounting back plate 13 is provided on the back of the bracket mounting part 12. The mounting back plate 13 has back plate mounting through holes 131 corresponding to the bracket mounting through holes. After the camera 2 and the mounting bracket 1 are pre-fixed, the bolts 5 pass through the back plate mounting through holes 131 and the bracket mounting through holes in sequence and are connected to the rear end of the camera 2.

[0047] On the other hand, the edge of the opening 41 on the outer panel of the luggage compartment 4 is provided with a flange 411, which interferes with the sealing ring 6 at the front end of the camera 2. The sealing ring 6 is preferably a rubber ring.

[0048] The sealing ring 6 includes multiple watertight structures that match the flange 411. Specifically, the sealing ring 6 is configured with two watertight structures that match the flange 411 to ensure watertightness and rust prevention.

[0049] Specifically, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the sealing ring 6 includes a first watertight structure 61 that seals against the flange 411 and a second watertight structure 62 that abuts against the outer panel 4 of the luggage compartment. The first watertight structure 61 and the second watertight structure 62 are watertight structures. The second watertight structure 62 interferes with the sheet metal of the outer panel 4 of the luggage compartment.

[0050] Preferably, the first watertight structure 61 is the inner ring, and the second watertight structure 62 is the outer ring.

[0051] This embodiment reduces mold opening and modification costs, saving on mold investment and parts costs. Pre-fixing via snap-fit ​​and mounting holes facilitates installation, while a sealing ring installed at the front of the camera ensures water tightness and rust prevention. Finally, the suitcase does not require two sets of molds, and the two styles of the top cover can be independent, further reducing investment.

[0052] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
