Specifically, a wet area (an area where rainwater easily enters) is arranged above the front roof rail 3, a passenger compartment dry area is arranged below the front roof rail 3, and in order to prevent rainwater and the like from entering the passenger compartment through the first mounting through hole 302 in the front roof rail 3, a gasket 10 is arranged at a connection part of the laser radar 1 and the front roof rail 3, so that the sealing performance of the connection between the laser radar 1 and the front roof rail 3 is ensured by the gasket 10; through setting up mounting groove 109 at the tip of second erection column 108, install sealed the pad 10 in mounting groove 109, both can utilize mounting groove 109 to carry on spacingly to sealed pad 10, improve the convenience of assembly, can be again after laser radar 1 assembles with roof front beam 3 for the tip of first erection column 108 towards roof front beam 3 can contradict with roof front beam 3's surface, thereby forms rigid support structure, improves the steadiness of assembly.

In specific implementations, the sealing pad 10 may be made of sealing foam, sealing rubber pad, or the like. For example, for the embodiment that the sealing pad 10 uses the foam sealing material, the compression amount of the foam sealing material may be set to about 50%, that is, the thickness of the foam sealing material is about 2 times the depth of the mounting groove, so as to ensure the reliability of the sealing connection between the laser radar 1 and the front roof cross beam 3 through the compression of the foam sealing material. Specifically, the sealing gasket 10 may be a circular ring-shaped sealing gasket, and a through hole through which the second fastening member 9 passes is formed in the middle of the sealing gasket 10; accordingly, the mounting groove 109 is formed as a circular groove that fits the shape of the gasket 10.

Further, as shown in fig. 15, the laser radar 1 is provided with a notch 1010 on the side wall of the mounting groove 109, and the notch 1010 communicates with the inner space and the outer space of the mounting groove 109, so that water entering the mounting groove 109 flows out through the notch 1010, and the accumulation of water is avoided. In a specific implementation, the notch 1010 is formed on the groove sidewall of the mounting groove 109 and penetrates the end surface of the second mounting post 108 to facilitate the water flowing out.

Further, as shown in fig. 17 and 18, a mounting surface 301 is formed to be inclined on a surface of the front roof rail 3 facing the laser radar 1, the laser radar 1 is mounted on the mounting surface 301, and a notch 1010 is formed to be located toward a lower end of the mounting surface 301. That is, the slit 1010 is opened at a portion where the mounting height of the groove side wall of the mounting recess 109 is relatively low. With this arrangement, rainwater and the like entering the mounting recess 109 can be more effectively ensured and can flow out through the notch 1010 in the groove side wall of the mounting recess 109, thereby avoiding accumulation of water.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 6, the number of the second mounting posts 108 is multiple, and multiple second mounting posts 108 are arranged at intervals on the periphery of the bottom surface of the laser radar 1; the number of the first mounting through holes 302 is plural, and the plural first mounting through holes 302 and the plural second mounting posts 108 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence. A plurality of second fasteners 9 are arranged between the laser radar 1 and the front roof cross beam 3, so that the firmness of the assembly of the laser radar 1 and the front roof cross beam 3 is improved. Illustratively, the number of the second mounting posts 108 is three, and three second mounting posts 108 are respectively connected to the left and right side walls and the rear side wall of the laser radar 1.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 5, a heat conducting structure 11 is disposed between the laser radar 1 and the front roof rail 3, one side surface of the heat conducting structure 11 is attached to the bottom surface of the laser radar 1, and the other side surface of the heat conducting structure 11 is attached to the surface of the front roof rail 3 facing the laser radar 1, so that heat generated during the operation of the laser radar 1 is transferred to the front roof rail 3 by the heat conducting structure 11, and the heat dissipation effect of the laser radar 1 is improved.

Specifically, the top of the vehicle body is an area with relatively poor thermal environment, the laser radar 1 works in a self-heating mode and transfers heat through illumination, the radar installation decoration plate absorbs heat, heat is dissipated only through natural wind of the environment, and the environment temperature easily exceeds the working temperature of the laser radar 1, so that the heat conducting structure 11 is arranged between the laser radar 1 and the front roof cross beam 3 in the embodiment to assist heat dissipation, heat generated by the laser radar 1 during working is transferred to the front roof cross beam 3 through the heat conducting structure 11, and the heat dissipation effect of the laser radar 1 is improved. Specifically, the heat conducting structure 11 may be a heat conducting glue, a heat conducting cotton, a heat conducting coating, or the like.
