Technical field
The purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of being used for three-dimensionally is fixed to rear view camera metal flange in the corresponding shell with screw, and described shell is positioned at along the lifting handle (lifting handle) at the motor vehicles rear portion that is used to open luggage case (boot).
Background technology
With regard to the lever gear door on being hinged on vehicle body, described handle has several known functions.Particularly, handle has the function of opening protective cover with relevant gauge tap on the one hand except allowing by the finger grips of a hand, has the function that promotes the rear portion licence plate on the other hand.This is not its whole function.A few years ago, in luxury automobile, increased the back vision function that utilizes rear view camera.In other words, rear view camera is set, shows the space (particularly at parking period) at next-door neighbour's motor vehicles rear portion.
It is very extensive to propagate ground from the handle of German Griffleiste according to multiple more or less similarly solution.Usually, handle comprises two basic elements of character, first parts are to cover or support component attractive in appearance, vertically form by profile attractive in appearance (technical blue get (Blende) of cloth that be called), second element or technical support form with respect to first element, and combine with it from the first element downside, second element is not had an aesthetic property, if can hold for illuminating licence plate, rear view camera function and having the necessary equipment of opening of luggage case.
In the maximum solution of occurrence number, technical support is normally pressed monolithic compacting with plastics, and with cloth blue the linkage interface place, described support has the shell on the supporting base both sides that are arranged in the central handle that the finger that is used for a hand pushes.At least construct a described shell and be used to settle light fixture (making) and other any equipment by the sealing of protection slip lid by bulb, bulb support, cap.For the front, back of described technical support, it is configured to a succession of have partition of different nature and supporting base, is used for the distribution of light fixture and it is anchored to the lever gear door of automobile.In principle, if use rear view camera, then mechanical support is formed with the additional shell relative with the shape of video camera on its front, back, and the main body of video camera is incorporated in the described shell.On the one hand, camera body comprises optical group (optical group), and it almost is positioned on the plane identical with the outside surface of handle, provides automobile rear near impact damper or the enough wide visual angle in zone thereafter no matter perhaps be arranged as in which way.In an opposite side, camera body is provided with stube cable, and described cable is drawn from described main body, is connected on described equipment and the power supply, to coordinate mutually with the supervision of panel.
WO2005039934 (Guernalec etc.) provides a kind of and has been used for the equipment of rear view camera mount within the vehicle motor cover, and described chamber is contained in vehicle rear, and wherein optical axial is vertically pointing to back component basically.Video camera is contained in the airtight container, and described container comprises a form on the optic axis of video camera.Airtight container is fixed in the opening that forms on the automobile rear parts, and partly stretches out backward from this under downward substantially state.Video camera remains within the described container by connector, and the profile of described connector forms by relative mode with the inside surface of described container.The front portion of described container is by the slip lid sealing by frame supported, and described framework has the geometrical clamp that enters corresponding supporting base in the side of airtight container on its side.
The surveillance camera that JP9240371 (Suzuki etc.) proposition is used for vehicle rear is contained within the shell of licence plate support illuminating lamp, and is supported by the same support of fixing described lamp, and this has formed an integrated solution.
JP2004216976 (Ozawa etc.) provides a kind of rear panel of the video camera that is suitable in shape packing into, and described video camera is by clamp device clamping from the side, and fixes by antitheft negative and positive screw thread at this place.
JP10044891 (Maeda) has illustrated a kind of shell that is arranged in the automobile rear assembly, and described shell is hollow basically, and open-ended at it, is used to insert camera body.Introduce camera body, up to itself and optical group together with the borderline phase of outer casing bottom in abutting connection with till.The size of considering ccd video camera will be allowed the rear portion packing ring that parcel absorbs the material of bump and considers the described shell of sealing, and described shell is made especially big shape basically.For preventing the motion of ccd video camera, keep the rear portion of the described video camera of drawing from described shell by metal flange, described metal flange is supported by the support arm on the structural member that is fixed on the assembly that comprises described shell routinely.
JP62159590 (Masuzawa etc.) proposes a kind of being suitable for to be made the minimized solution of influence attractive in appearance with respect to the layout of video camera.In this case, the rear assembly of rolling stock has an opening, has wherein fixed the cover/container with transparent part.Video camera is contained in the described cover, and described video camera is supported by the arm shape and supports by hang, and described side cooperates with camera body by screw, and its fit system makes optical group be positioned at after the transparent part of cover.
Above-mentioned solution causes some problems.For example, resemble in the scheme that WO2005039934 (Guernalec etc.) and JP10044891 (Maeda) proposed, adopt the shell of given shape or under the situation of its participation, perhaps connector or the such auxiliary part of annular construction member by for example adopting the different materials also have the can function to make keeps video camera in position.The described solution of employing grappling video camera is unsettled, is because existing tolerance is owing to natural, progressive surrender on the other hand on the one hand, is exactly the deterioration owing to the material in the shell that video camera is fixed on separately in addition on the one hand.Phenomenon in time course is not incoherent, causes during motor vehicles are carried out manipulation and causes the undesirable vibration of video camera, goes up at current monitor (for example panel) and produces image of low quality.Another is born and influences is that the unstable anchoring energy of video camera causes water to infiltrate shell, makes it might condense delay, causes the destruction of video camera itself.
For example in other solution of JP62159590 (Masuzawa etc.) and JP2004216976 (Ozawa etc.), the cooperation of video camera is basically by stirrup (stirrup), finish in abutting connection with flange and other metal assembly, in this, for reaching stable fixing, also can be by means of using screw, rivet, carbine or snap-on.Although these solutions are more suitable for allowing more effectively fixed cameras, also can produce other some problems, for example because its lax and described assembly of assembling/dismounting objectively is time-consuming and difficult, in any case all might cause the gap.In addition, must replenish and point out that the essential member that is used for assembly is numerous, thereby must more encode in the managed inventory, make processing cost increase easily.
