This is illustrated in detail by the following specific examples:

example one

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, the present embodiment provides a sensor mounting structure including: a bearing part 1 for fixing a sensor 3 and a mounting part 2 positioned at least at one side of the bearing part 1. In particular, the bearing part 1 and the mounting part 2 may be integrally formed, for example.

Illustratively, the bearing part 1 is provided with a mounting through hole, the sensor 3 is fixed in the mounting through hole, and the sensor 3 comprises a camera. The sensor 3 can be, for example, snapped into the mounting through hole, and the embodiment is not limited to a specific fixing manner between the sensor 3 and the bearing part 1. Wherein, can set up one sensor 3 on the bearing part 1, also can set up two or more than two sensors 3, can specifically set for according to actual need.

Wherein, the mounting part 2 is provided with a mounting hole 21. One side 22 of the erection column on the installation part is treated in the orientation of installation part 2 is provided with and is used for carrying out prepositioning location structure 23 to the erection column, and location structure 23 prescribes a limit to the constant head tank 231 that can supply the erection column to stretch into, and mounting hole 21 is located the constant head tank 231. Specifically, the mounting hole 21 is located at the bottom of the positioning groove 231.

It can be understood that, after the mounting post extends into the positioning groove 231, the groove wall of the positioning groove 231 limits the mounting post, so as to realize the pre-positioning of the sensor mounting structure.

Through setting up mounting hole 21 in the constant head tank 231 that is used for carrying out prepositioning to the erection column for mounting hole 21 position and constant head tank 231 position have the overlap, thereby obviously reduced the size of installation department, and then reduced sensor mounting structure's size, promptly, sensor mounting structure is in horizontal size in fig. 1.

During specific assembly, only need make the erection column aim at with the constant head tank 231 that location structure 23 injectd, make the erection column stretch into to the constant head tank 231 in, can realize the location of erection column, because mounting hole 21 is arranged in constant head tank 231, consequently, when the erection column stretches into to the constant head tank 231 in, the erection column also just in time aims at with mounting hole 21 to make things convenient for follow-up connection. Exemplarily, the one end of keeping away from of erection column and treating the installed part has the screw hole, and the erection column stretches into behind the constant head tank 231, can assemble the sensor mounting structure on treating the installed part with the screw in mounting hole 21 and the screw hole in proper order. Of course, the mounting posts may be connected to the mounting holes 21 by other fixing means.

It can be understood that, through setting up mounting hole 21 in being arranged in carrying out prepositioning constant head tank 231 to sensor mounting structure, make the erection column not only play be used for connecting sensor mounting structure with treat the effect of installed part, still played carry out prepositioning's effect to sensor mounting structure, make treat on the installed part only need set up the erection column can, need not to treat like prior art and still need set up the reference column on the installed part, consequently make the structure of treating the installed part also can simplify, the cost of manufacture of treating the installed part has been reduced.

In some embodiments, the component to be mounted may be, for example, a bracket arranged on the inside of a front windshield of a vehicle, the bracket being fixed to the front windshield, for example, by gluing or the like, the bracket having a mounting post for attachment to a sensor mounting structure, in which case the sensor 3 on the sensor mounting structure is formed as an interior mirror sensor. Alternatively, the vehicle front windshield is provided with an inside rear view mirror housing having the above-mentioned mounting post thereon, and the sensor mounting structure is mounted specifically on the inside rear view mirror housing. In this case, the camera of the sensor 3 can be used to photograph the inside of the vehicle, so as to monitor the state of the driver, the identification of the driver and the passenger, whether the driver is in fatigue driving, whether the passenger makes a dangerous action to the driver, and the like.

Of course, in other embodiments, the sensor mounting structure may also be mounted on the exterior mirror of the vehicle, for example, the above-mentioned to-be-mounted part is a bracket on the exterior mirror housing, in which case the sensor 3 on the sensor mounting structure is formed as an exterior mirror sensor, in which case the camera of the sensor 3 is specifically used to photograph the conditions of the right side and the rear of the vehicle, etc. The specific installation position of the sensor installation structure provided by the embodiment can be set according to actual requirements.

The sensor mounting structure that this embodiment provided, through the one side 22 setting of treating the installed part in the orientation of installation department 2 and being used for carrying out predetermined location's location structure 23 to the erection column, location structure 23 defines the constant head tank 231 that can supply the erection column to stretch into, sets up mounting hole 21 in constant head tank 231. Because the mounting hole 21 is located in the positioning groove 231, that is, the location of the mounting hole 21 overlaps with the location of the positioning groove 231 for positioning the mounting column, compared with the prior art in which the positioning hole and the mounting hole 21 are separately arranged, the size of the mounting part is obviously reduced, the size of the sensor mounting structure is reduced, and the mounting space occupied by the sensor mounting structure is further reduced, thereby providing a larger play space for the modeling improvement and layout of the sensor 3 and other peripheral components; moreover, set up like this and make the erection column not only play and be used for connecting sensor mounting structure and treat the effect of installed part, still played the effect of carrying out prepositioning to sensor mounting structure, when the assembly, only need aim at erection column and constant head tank 231, make the erection column stretch into can realize simultaneously the alignment to the prepositioning of sensor mounting structure and erection column and mounting hole 21 in the constant head tank 231 for the assembly is more convenient, has improved assembly efficiency.

In specific implementation, the two installation parts 2 can be arranged at two sides of the bearing part 1, and each installation part 2 is provided with one positioning groove 231 and one installation hole 21. Accordingly, there are two mounting posts on the member to be mounted, one corresponding to each mounting hole 21. All set up installation department 2 through the both sides at supporting part 1 for sensor mounting structure installs the stability behind the assigned position better, and then has improved the stability of fixing sensor 3 on sensor mounting structure, has guaranteed the shooting effect. Of course, in other implementations, there may be one mounting portion 2.

With continued reference to fig. 1 and 2, the positioning structure 23 may be embodied as a rib provided on a side 22 of the mounting part 2 facing the component to be mounted. It will be appreciated that the ribs project from the side 22 of the mounting part 2 facing the part to be mounted. For example, the rib may be integrally formed with the mounting portion 2, for example, the mounting portion 2 is a plastic member, and the rib and the mounting portion 2 are integrally injection-molded.

In some embodiments, the ribs are embodied as annular ribs that enclose the positioning slot 231. Set up to annular protruding muscle through with protruding muscle to the constant head tank 231 that makes the formation is circumference totally enclosed's constant head tank 231, has further improved the location effect of constant head tank 231 to the erection column.

If the thickness of the rib (i.e. the dimension of the rib in the axial direction of the mounting hole 21) is set too small, the positioning effect of the positioning groove 231 defined by the rib on the mounting column will be affected; but if too big with the thickness setting of protruding muscle, will cause the increase of consumptive material again, lead to the cost increase, based on this, in this embodiment, specifically with protruding muscle in along the ascending size setting of the axial of mounting hole 21 between 3mm ~ 8mm to both guaranteed the location effect to the erection column, can not cause the too much waste of consumptive material again.

Of course, in other implementation manners, it may also be that the bead includes a plurality of bead sections, and a plurality of bead sections are arranged along the circumference interval of mounting hole 21 to enclose and close and form positioning groove 231, can realize the spacing to the erection column equally. In addition, in other implementations, the positioning structure may be a structure in which the mounting portion 2 itself is recessed away from the member to be mounted, instead of the rib.

Referring to fig. 1 or 2, the outer edge of the rib may be flush with the outer edge of the mounting portion 2. This arrangement can further reduce the size of the entire mounting portion 2 while ensuring effective mounting of the sensor mounting structure, and further reduce the size of the sensor mounting structure.

Wherein the shape of at least a portion of the groove wall of the positioning groove 231 matches the shape of the outer sidewall of the mounting post. For example, the positioning groove 231 may be a circular groove, and the cross-sectional shape of the mounting post is circular, or the positioning groove 231 may be a square groove, and the cross-sectional shape of the mounting post is square, so that the positioning effect of the positioning groove 231 on the mounting post can be ensured to a greater extent.

Of course, in other implementations, the mounting post may be a cylinder, and the positioning groove 231 may be a square groove, as long as the mounting post can be positioned.

With continued reference to fig. 1 and 2, in some embodiments, the two positioning slots 231 may have different slot widths. That is, in the arrangement direction of the two mounting holes 21 (i.e., the X direction in fig. 2), the groove width of one positioning groove 231 (e.g., the positioning groove 231 located on the right side in fig. 1 or 2) is larger than the outer diameter of the corresponding mounting post. The shape of the other detent 231 (e.g., the detent 231 on the left in fig. 1 or 2) matches the shape of the mounting post. Set up like this and make on the array direction of following two mounting holes 21, have certain compensation clearance between erection column on right side and the constant head tank 231 on right side to avoid erection column or installation department 2 size error in the manufacturing process and lead to the problem of unable assembly to appear, promptly, improved the assembly degree of freedom, when making the assembly, constant head tank 231 is advanced in the assembly that can be easier under the condition of error such as erection column, has reduced the assembly degree of difficulty in the assembling process.

Specifically, the groove wall of one of the positioning grooves 231 (the positioning groove 231 located on the right side in fig. 1 or fig. 2) includes: two oppositely disposed straight connecting wall sections 2311 and two oppositely disposed semi-circular arc wall sections 2312. In which the straight connecting wall sections 2311 extend in the arrangement direction (X direction in fig. 2) of the two mounting holes 21, and two semicircular wall sections 2312 are provided on both sides of the two straight connecting wall sections 2311. In particular, the length of the straight connecting wall 2311 may be set between 1.5mm and 2.5mm, for example, the length of the straight connecting wall 2311 is 2 mm.

That is, the positioning groove 231 on the right side is formed as an oblong groove having a line connecting the centers of the two semicircular arc-shaped wall sections 2312, which is the compensation gap (i.e., the distance between the two dotted lines in fig. 2, i.e., the length of the straight line connecting the wall sections 2311). When setting up like this and making the erection column stretch into to constant head tank 231, the erection column can not take place to remove in the extending direction of the dotted line in fig. 2 to guarantee two high parallel and level of installation department 2, avoid appearing the condition of high one side low after the sensor mounting structure installation.

Wherein, can make the shape of two semicircle wall sections 2312 and the lateral wall shape phase-match of erection column to when improving the assembly degree of freedom, make constant head tank 231 carry out better location to the erection column.

In another embodiment, the positioning groove 231 on the left side may be formed as an elongated circular groove, and the positioning groove 231 on the right side may be formed as a circular groove matching the shape of the mounting post.

It is verified that the sensor mounting structure provided by the present embodiment is reduced in size by 12mm in the lateral direction under the same other parameter conditions, thereby providing a larger play space for improvement of the sensor 3 (such as improvement for increasing the resolution of the camera of the sensor), and improvement of peripheral devices of the sensor mounting structure.
