Detailed Description

To make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the following will combine the embodiments of the present invention and the corresponding drawings to clearly and completely describe the technical solution of the present invention. It is to be understood that the disclosed embodiments are merely exemplary of the invention, and are not intended to limit the invention to the precise embodiments disclosed. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by a person skilled in the art without creative work belong to the protection scope of the present invention.

The technical solutions disclosed in the embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The embodiment of the application discloses vehicle-mounted image acquisition equipment which is suitable for vehicles. In a specific use, the disclosed in-vehicle image capturing apparatus is mounted within a vehicle, for example, fixed to the rear of a front windshield of the vehicle.

Referring to fig. 1 to 12, a vehicle-mounted image capturing apparatus disclosed in an embodiment of the present application includes a housing 100, a front camera module 200, and a rotation adjusting portion 300.

The housing 100 is a base member of the vehicle-mounted image capturing apparatus, and the housing 100 can provide a mounting position and a certain degree of protection for the front view camera module 200 and the rotation adjusting portion 300. The housing 100 may be a split structure or a unitary structure. For convenience of assembly and manufacture, the housing 100 may have a split structure, and specifically, the housing 100 may include a first housing member 120 and a second housing member 130, and the first housing member 120 and the second housing member 130 may be bonded, clamped, and screwed, so as to form a main peripheral structure of the housing 100. In the embodiment of the present application, the housing 100 is opened with a first avoidance hole 101 for avoiding the rotation adjusting portion 300.

The front camera module 200 is used to shoot towards the front of the vehicle, so as to obtain the image in front of the vehicle. At least a portion of the forward looking camera module 200 is disposed within the housing 100. Of course, in order to satisfy the photographing of the front view camera module 200, the lens of the front view camera module 200 may be extended out of the housing 100, or the housing 100 may be provided with a front view window for photographing by the front view camera module 200.

In the embodiment of the present application, the front camera module 200 is rotatably connected to the housing 100. For example, the front camera module 200 and the housing 100 may be pivotally connected by a hinge shaft, a flexible member, or the like. The rotation adjusting portion 300 is connected to the front view camera module 200, and the rotation adjusting portion 300 rotates to drive the front view camera module 200 to rotate, so as to adjust the shooting direction of the front view camera module 200. The rotation adjusting portion 300 is disposed in the first avoiding hole 101 and can be exposed to the housing 100. In other words, the first avoidance hole 101 can avoid the rotation adjusting part 300, thereby enabling the user to manually operate and control. For convenience of operation, in an alternative scheme, a part of the structure of the rotation adjusting part 300 may extend from the inside of the housing 100 to the outside of the housing 100 through the first avoiding hole 101. In this case, the user can more easily operate the rotation adjustment part 300.

In a specific using process, the rotation adjusting portion 300 is connected to the front view camera module 200, and the front view camera module 200 is connected to the housing 100 in a rotating manner, so that a user can manually toggle the rotation adjusting portion 300, and the rotation adjusting portion 300 can drive the front view camera module 200 to rotate relative to the housing 100, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the specific shooting angle of the front view camera module 200. Therefore, the vehicle-mounted image acquisition equipment disclosed by the embodiment of the application can adjust the shooting angle of the front-view camera module 200, and further meets the requirement of a user on the adjustability of the shooting angle of the front-view camera module 200.

Here, the front camera module 200 is used for shooting toward the front of the vehicle, and means that the front camera module 200 can shoot an image in a certain angle range on the front side of the vehicle. The aforementioned angle range can be changed by operating the rotation adjusting part 300 to rotate the front camera module 200, and the front camera module 200 still performs framing and shooting in the front of the vehicle before and after adjustment.

In a further technical solution, the vehicle-mounted image capturing apparatus disclosed in the embodiment of the present application may further include a first locking member 400. The first locking member 400 has a locked state and an unlocked state. In the locked state of the first lock member 400, the front view camera module 200 is fixedly coupled to the housing 100 by the first lock member 400. In this case, since the front camera module 200 cannot be rotated with respect to the housing 100, the user cannot change the photographing angle of the front camera module 200 even though the user manipulates the rotation adjustment part 300. When the first locking member 400 is in the unlocked state, the front view camera module 200 is rotatably coupled to the housing 100, and the front view camera module 200 is rotatable according to the rotation of the rotation adjustment portion 300. In other words, in the process that the user manually operates the rotation adjustment portion 300 to rotate, since the first locking member 400 does not perform locking, the forward looking camera module 200 can rotate along with the rotation adjustment portion 300 when the rotation adjustment portion 300 is operated, and thus the adjustment of the shooting angle of the forward looking camera module 200 can be ensured.

The on-vehicle image acquisition equipment that this scheme relates to can make first retaining member 400 lock the foresight module of making a video recording 200 under the lock state through addding first retaining member 400, finally can not make the foresight module of making a video recording 200 rotate to can make the user adjust the back of finishing to the foresight module of making a video recording 200, keep the shooting angle after adjusting better, and the maloperation is difficult for appearing.

In the embodiment of the present application, the first locking member 400 may be of various types as long as it can ensure that the front view camera module 200 cannot rotate relative to the housing 100 in the locked state. The first locking member 400 may be a pin or a corresponding clasping means. Taking a pin as an example, when the first locking member 400 is a pin, the housing 100 and the front view camera module 200 are both provided with corresponding pin holes, the front view camera module 200 may be provided with a plurality of pin holes, and the pin is inserted into two corresponding pins after the shooting angle is adjusted. Taking the clamping device as an example again, in the case that the first locking member 400 is a clasping device, the clamping device can be installed in the housing 100 and clamp the front-view camera module 200 so as to maintain it at the adjusted position.

Referring to fig. 1 to 12 again, an embodiment of the present application discloses a specific structure, which is as follows: the housing 100 may be formed with a first locking hole 102, the first locking member 400 is a threaded locking member, the housing 100 includes a first locking engagement member 110, the first locking engagement member 110 is formed with a first threaded hole 103, and the threaded locking member passes through the first locking hole 102 and is in threaded engagement with the first threaded hole 103.

In the locked state of the first locking member 400, the first lock engagement member 110 interferes with the front view camera module 200, so that the front view camera module 200 is fixed to the housing 100. In this case, the first locking member 400 is engaged with the first locking hole 102 and the first threaded hole 103, thereby achieving locking fixation of the forward looking camera module 200 with respect to the housing 100. When the first lock member 400 is in the unlocked state, the front view camera module 200 is rotatably engaged with the first lock engagement member 110. In this case, the screw locker may be separated from the first screw hole 103.

This scheme adopts screw-thread fit structure to realize the locking to the module 200 of making a video recording of forward sight, has simple structure, easily advantage of designing.

In the embodiment of the present application, the housing 100 may have a first side 100a and a second side 100b, and the first side 100a is a mounting surface. The first locking hole 102 may be opened on the second side 100b, and the second side 100b and the first side 100a may be two adjacent sides of the housing 100. Alternatively, the second side 100b and the first side 100a may be two opposite sides of the casing 100. In this case, the first locking hole 102 is opened on the second side surface 100b, but not on the first side surface 100a, so that the first locking hole 102 can avoid the first side surface 100a as the installation surface, thereby facilitating the subsequent operation of the user. Of course, it should be noted that the first side 100a as the mounting surface is generally adjacent to the mounting base in the vehicle, and therefore is generally in a more confined environment or is hidden by the mounting base, which is inconvenient for the user to manipulate the structure thereon.

Specifically, the first side surface 100a may be provided with a plurality of hanging grooves 107, and the housing 100 cooperates with a hook on the mounting base through the plurality of hanging grooves 107 thereon, so as to detachably mount the entire vehicle-mounted image capturing apparatus in the vehicle. Certainly, the vehicle-mounted image acquisition device disclosed in the embodiment of the present application may be mounted in a vehicle in a bonding, clamping, or connecting manner, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

Similarly, in a further embodiment, the first avoiding hole 101 may also be formed in the second side surface 100b. For the same reason, this arrangement facilitates the user's manipulation of the rotation adjustment part 300. In the embodiment of the present application, the first locking hole 102 and/or the first avoiding hole 101 may be opened at the second side surface 100b.

In the embodiment of the present application, the first locking mating member 110 may include a sheet portion 111, as shown in fig. 3 and 6, the first threaded hole 103 is opened in the sheet portion 111, the front-view camera module 200 includes a connecting piece 210, the connecting piece 210 is provided with a second avoiding hole 211, the second avoiding hole 211 is a strip-shaped hole, and the first locking member 400 sequentially passes through the first locking hole 102 and the second avoiding hole 211 and is in threaded engagement with the first threaded hole 103. The second clearance hole 211 functions as a clearance so as not to interfere with the threaded engagement between the first securing member 400 and the first threaded hole 103.

When the first locking member 400 is in the locked state, the sheet portion 111 abuts against the connecting piece 210, and the front view camera module 200 is fixed to the housing 100 by the abutting of the connecting piece 210 against the sheet portion 111. In this case, the sheet portion 111 abuts against the connecting piece 210, and the forward-looking camera module 200 is fixed to the housing 100 by press-fitting therebetween. The sheet part 111 and the connecting sheet 210 are both sheet structures, so that the sheet part has a larger area, and the large area interference between the sheet part and the connecting sheet is favorable for improving the locking effect.

In addition, the second dodges hole 211 and is the bar hole, can make and be in the unlocked state at first retaining member 400 under, first retaining member 400 and second dodge hole 211 sliding fit, under this condition, first retaining member 400 need not to break away from first screw hole 103 completely under the unlocked state, just also need not to make first retaining member 400 and preceding camera module 200 separate completely, and the user need not to carry out too much and twists the operation, and this is undoubtedly convenient to carry out of unblock operation.

In order to facilitate the interference of the deformation, in a preferred embodiment, the sheet portion 111 may be a first elastic sheet. To further improve the deformation effect, as shown in fig. 6, the sheet portion 111 may be a bent first elastic sheet. For example, the first spring piece may be a metal spring piece.

In an alternative, the through direction of the first threaded hole 103 may be parallel to the rotation axis of the forward looking camera module 200. The connection piece 210 is a first fan-shaped piece centered on the rotation axis, and the second avoiding hole 211 is an arc-shaped hole extending around the rotation axis, as shown in fig. 3, in which case the first avoiding hole 101 and the first locking hole 102 may be respectively provided on two adjacent sides of the housing 100. Of course, neither of the adjacent two sides may be a mounting surface of the housing 100.

In another alternative, the first threaded hole 103 is penetrated in a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the forward looking camera module 200. The coupling piece 210 is an arc-shaped piece centered on the rotation axis. The second avoiding hole 211 is an arc-shaped hole extending around the rotation axis. This structure is beneficial for the first avoiding hole 101 and the first locking hole 102 to be disposed on the same side surface (as shown in fig. 6) of the housing 100, so as to facilitate the concentrated opening, which is beneficial for processing the housing 100.

The fixing of the connecting piece 210 is realized in a clamping manner, so that the fixing effect can be improved undoubtedly, and further, the fixation between the front-view camera module 200 and the shell 100 is realized.

When the first locking member 400 is in the unlocked state, the connecting piece 210 is rotationally engaged with at least one of the first supporting protrusion 112 and the second elastic piece 113, and the first locking member 400 is slidably engaged with the second avoiding hole 211. In this case, the clamping force of the first supporting protrusion 112 and the second resilient tab 113 on the connecting piece 210 is released, so that the connecting piece 210 can rotate. Of course, the second avoiding hole 211 is a strip-shaped hole, so that the first locking member 400 is in an unlocked state, and the threaded locking member is in sliding fit with the second avoiding hole 211. In this case, the first locking member 400 does not need to be completely disengaged from the first threaded hole 103 in the unlocked state, and the first locking member 400 does not need to be completely separated from the forward-looking camera module 200, and the user does not need to perform excessive screwing operation, which undoubtedly facilitates the unlocking operation.

In a preferable embodiment, the surface of the second elastic sheet 113 facing the connecting sheet 210 may also be an arc-shaped convex surface, and the arc-shaped convex surface is matched with the shape of one side of the recess of the connecting sheet 210 and slides and rubs. The shape-adaptive structure can certainly improve the clamping effect between the second elastic sheet 113 and the first supporting protrusion 112 on the connecting sheet 210.

In the embodiment of the present application, the first locking member 400 can be in limit contact with the two ends of the second avoiding hole 211 in the rotation direction of the front view camera module 200. Under the condition that the first locking piece 400 is in limited contact with the end part of the second avoidance hole 211 in the rotating direction, a gap is formed between the connecting piece 210 and the second elastic piece 113. Under this kind of circumstances, can be so that in the pivoted in-process, under the circumstances that the first retaining member 400 and the second dodge the tip of hole 211 and take place spacing contact, connection piece 210 can not take place the contact with second shell fragment 113 to can avoid the impact of connection piece 210 to second shell fragment 113, and then avoid the influence that presss from both sides tightly to second shell fragment 113.
