Detailed ways

FIG. 1 is a top view of a concealable vehicle-mounted radar installation assembly 100 installed in a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view along line A-A of Fig. 1 . Fig. 3 is a sectional view along the line B-B of Fig. 1 . FIG. 4 is a schematic structural diagram of the radar enclosure 20 of the concealable vehicle-mounted radar installation assembly 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1 , the concealable vehicle-mounted radar installation assembly 100 of the present invention is arranged at the installation opening 201 of the vehicle body 200. The vehicle body 200 here can be the position where the radar needs to be installed, such as the roof, front wall, and side wings of the vehicle. The radar here can be a laser radar. As shown in FIG. 2 , the vehicle-mounted radar installation assembly 100 includes a fixing component 10 , a radar enclosure 20 and a sealing component 30 . The fastening arrangement 10 is connected to the body 200 and is configured as a recess. The radar enclosure 20 is disposed in the recess and is pivotably connected to the fixing assembly 10 . Here, the rotation of the radar envelope 20 can be realized by using a driving source such as a motor or a hydraulic component, and the driving source can be connected with the control unit of the vehicle to realize the automatic control of the radar turning over. The interior of the radar enclosure 20 is provided with an accommodating space for arranging the radar, for example, forming a concave portion with an opening facing the inside of the vehicle, and the concave portion is the aforesaid accommodating space. A window 21 (see FIG. 4 ) for exposing the radar is provided on the side wall of the radar enclosure 20 , so that the signal of the transmitting end of the radar can be sent directly through the window 21 . The radar enclosure 20 is used to form a closed state (see FIG. 2 ) in which the radar enclosure 20 is hidden in the recess when rotating relative to the fixed assembly 10 and an open state (not shown) in which the window 21 of the radar enclosure 20 is completely exposed to the recess. The sealing assembly 30 includes a flexible sealing film 31. The sealing film 31 is arranged around the radar enclosure 20, and one side of the sealing film 31 is directly or indirectly sealingly connected to the target vehicle body 200, and the other side is sealingly connected to the outside of the radar enclosure 20 to form a sealed water storage space between the target vehicle body and the radar enclosure 20. The target vehicle body is the part of the vehicle body 200 on the peripheral side of the installation opening 201. The sealing film 31 is also provided at the lowest point when the radar enclosure 20 is in the closed state to communicate with the drain pipe of the vehicle for draining the liquid in the water storage space. Since one end of the sealing film 31 is fixed to the radar casing 20, and the radar casing 20 will rotate relative to the fixed assembly 10, that is, relative to the vehicle body 200, the sealing film 31 will also rotate accordingly. Therefore, the lowest point of the sealing film 31 here is relative to the closed state of the radar casing 20. As long as it can be ensured that the lowest point of the sealing film 31 is connected to the drain pipe of the vehicle in the closed state, the liquid accumulation in the above-mentioned water storage space can be prevented.

This embodiment provides a concealable radar installation assembly. When the radar needs to be used, the radar casing 20 can be turned out of the vehicle with the radar to expose the transmitting end from the window 21 of the radar casing 20. When the radar is not used, the radar casing 20 can be restored to the position inside the vehicle to ensure the aesthetic appearance of the vehicle.

Furthermore, the radar installation assembly is also provided with a sealing assembly 30 that moves with the radar casing 20, which can adapt to the reversible radar casing 20 and realize a real-time waterproof sealing effect. In addition, since the sealing film 31 of the sealing assembly 30 is in communication with the drain pipe of the vehicle, and the communicating position is the lowest point of the sealing film 31 when the radar enclosure 20 is in the closed state, it can discharge accumulated water in the closed state to prevent the sealing film 31 from being soaked in water for a long time.

As shown in FIG. 1 , in one embodiment, the sealing assembly 30 further includes a sealing strip 32 disposed around the radar enclosure 20 and disposed between the target vehicle body and the radar enclosure 20 . Due to the setting of the sealing strip 32, the gap between the radar enclosure 20 and the target vehicle body is closed when the radar enclosure 20 is in the closed state, and it plays a waterproof role when the radar is not in use, preventing rainwater or other liquids from entering the assembly.

As shown in FIG. 2 , in this embodiment, the sealing assembly 30 further includes a sealing bracket 33 , one side of which is connected to the target vehicle body, and the other side is used for fixing the sealing film 31 . Optionally, the sealing bracket 33 is bonded to the bottom of the target vehicle body through a double-sided adhesive 40 .

The installation of the sealing strip 32 can be realized through the setting of the sealing bracket 33, without the need to process a special installation part on the vehicle body 200 to install the sealing strip 32, and the way of double-sided adhesive bonding, on the one hand, has a certain waterproof effect, and also simplifies the installation process.

As shown in FIG. 4 , the outer wall of the radar envelope 20 is provided with an annular flange 22 protruding away from itself, and the two ends of the sealing film 31 are respectively connected with the sealing bracket 33 and the annular flange 22 (see FIG. 2 or FIG. 3 ).

In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2 , the height of the outer wall on one side of the radar enclosure 20 provided with the window 21 is greater than that on the opposite side, and the ring flange 22 is disposed at the bottom of the outer wall of the radar enclosure 20 . As shown in FIG. 4, the bottom of the radar envelope 20 is formed as a slope. In such an arrangement, on the one hand, it is considered that one side of the radar envelope 20 itself is the pivotal connection side, and the other side is the turned-out side (that is, the side with the window 21). Since the movement displacement of the turned-out side is relatively large, a sealing film 31 with a relatively large displacement needs to be provided to facilitate its movement. In addition, a smaller outer wall on the pivoted connection side can save space.

As shown in FIG. 4 , the radar enclosure 20 is formed with a drain pipe 23 that communicates with the water storage space and the drain pipe, and the sealing film 31 is provided with a channel for passing through the drain pipe 23 . Both ends of the drainage pipe 23 can communicate with two drain pipes through two flexible pipes, so as to adapt to the position change of the drainage pipe 23 when the radar enclosure 20 rotates.

In another embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5 , the fixing assembly 10 includes a fixing base 11 and a plurality of connecting brackets 12 . Two ends of each connecting bracket 12 are respectively connected with the target vehicle body and the periphery of the fixed base plate 11 . The connecting bracket 12 and the target vehicle body can be connected by welding, bonding or fasteners, and the connecting bracket 12 and the fixed base plate 11 are detachably connected.

FIG. 5 is a schematic structural view of the fixed base 11 of the concealable vehicle-mounted radar installation assembly 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 5 , in this embodiment, the fixed bottom plate 11 includes a flat plate portion 111 and a plurality of connecting legs 112 located at the periphery of the flat plate portion 111 . Each connecting leg 112 protrudes toward the target vehicle body and is connected to the connecting bracket 12 . As shown in Figure 2, the connecting legs 112 and the connecting bracket 12 partially overlap and are connected by bolts. After the connecting bracket 12 is first fixed on the target vehicle body, the fixed base plate 11 and the connecting bracket 12 can be connected by fasteners, which is convenient for assembly.

The present invention also provides a vehicle, including the concealable vehicle-mounted radar installation assembly 100 in any one of the above embodiments or a combination of embodiments.

The vehicle is equipped with a concealable radar installation assembly. When the radar needs to be used, the radar casing 20 can be turned out of the vehicle with the radar to expose the transmitting end from the window 21 of the radar casing 20. When the radar is not used, the radar casing 20 is restored to the position inside the vehicle to ensure the appearance of the vehicle.

Furthermore, the radar installation assembly is also provided with a sealing assembly 30 that moves with the radar casing 20, which can adapt to the reversible radar casing 20 and realize a real-time waterproof sealing effect. In addition, since the sealing film 31 of the sealing assembly 30 is in communication with the drain pipe of the vehicle, and the communicating position is the lowest point of the sealing film 31 when the radar enclosure 20 is in the closed state, it can discharge accumulated water in the closed state to prevent the sealing film 31 from being soaked in water for a long time.
