Abstract

The present document describes a sensor bracket and a vehicle, the sensor bracket comprising: a first cross beam, the first side thereof being mounted to the frame cross beam of a tail portion of a tractor; at least two vertical beams perpendicularly mounted to the first cross beam; and a second cross beam located below the first cross beam and connecting at least two vertical beams; wherein each of the vertical beams has a first sliding groove and the second cross beam is operable to slide up and down along the first sliding grooves. The sensor bracket of the present application has a simple structure and stable performance, and adopts the frame cross beam of the original vehicle for mounting, making it easy to operate, easy to replace, and easy to adjust.

Claims (45)

1 . A sensor bracket, comprising:

a first cross beam, a first side thereof being mounted to a first frame cross beam of a tail portion of a tractor;

at least two vertical beams perpendicularly mounted to the first cross beam;

and a second cross beam located below the first cross beam and connecting the at least two vertical beams;

wherein each of the vertical beams has a first sliding groove and the second cross beam is operable to slide up and down along the first sliding groove;

wherein the first cross beam has a second side opposite to the first side and the sensor bracket further comprises:

a first fixing plate located at the second side of the first cross beam and between the at least two vertical beams,

and a second fixing plate located the second cross beam and between the at least two vertical beams;

wherein the first fixing plate is configured to fix a first LiDAR sensor and the second fixing plate is configured to fix a second LiDAR sensor;

wherein the first LiDAR sensor is a single-line LiDAR sensor and is configured to provide trailing angle information, the second lidar is a multi-line LiDAR sensor and is configured to provide blind spot information.

2 . The sensor bracket of claim 1 , wherein:

at least one of the first cross beam and second cross beam has a second sliding groove, each vertical beam is operable to slide left and right along the second sliding groove; and

both the first sliding groove and the second sliding groove have a scale.

3 . The sensor bracket of claim 1 , wherein

an upper plane of the first fixing plate faces a lower plane of the first cross beam.

4 . The sensor bracket of claim 1 , wherein

the second fixing plate has an L-shaped structure;

a first portion of the L-shaped structure is mounted to the second cross beam;

a second portion of the L-shaped structure has a horizontal plane with a semi-arc shape, and the second portion is provided with a mounting hole and an arc-shaped mounting groove.

5 . The sensor bracket of claim 1 , further comprises:

multiple weight reducing holes for reducing the weight of sensor the bracket.

6 . A vehicle comprising

a tractor, a tail portion of the tractor having a first frame cross beam;

a trailer, and

a sensor bracket comprising:

a first cross beam, mounted to the first frame cross beam at a first side of the first cross beam;

at least two vertical beams perpendicularly mounted to the first cross beam;

and a second cross beam located below the first cross beam and connecting the at least two vertical beams;

wherein each of the vertical beams has a first sliding groove and the second cross beam is operable to slide up and down along the first sliding groove;

wherein the first cross beam has a second side opposite to the first side and the sensor bracket further comprises:

a first fixing plate located at the second side of the first cross beam and between the at least two vertical beams;

and a second fixing plate located on the second cross beam and between the at least two vertical beams;

wherein the vehicle further comprises a first lidar mounted to the first fixing plate and a second lidar mounted to the second fixing plate;

wherein the first LiDAR sensor is a single-line LiDAR sensor and is configured to provide trailing angle information, the second lidar is a multi-line LiDAR sensor and is configured to provide blind spot information.

7 . The vehicle of claim 6 , wherein:

at least one of the first cross beam and the second cross beam has a second sliding groove, each vertical beam is operable to slide left and right along the second sliding groove; and

both the first sliding groove and the second sliding groove have a scale.

8 . The vehicle of claim 7 , further comprising:

and

a reflecting plate mounted to the trailer, the reflecting plate being configured to reflect a laser emitted by at least one of the first lidar and the second lidar.

9 . The vehicle of claim 7 , wherein an upper plane of the first fixing plate faces a lower plane of the first cross beam.

10 . The vehicle of claim 7 , wherein

the second fixing plate has an L-shaped structure;

a first portion of the L-shaped structure is mounted to the second cross beam and has a vertical plane;

a second portion of the L-shaped structure has a horizontal plane with a semi-arc shape, and the second portion is provided with a mounting hole and an arc-shaped mounting groove.
