  • Patent number: 11681012
    Abstract: A flexible radar support for absorbing vibration deviation comprises a support base and a support top cover that are engaged with each other in an interlocking manner. A housing space for arranging a radar is formed between the support base and the support top cover. The support base includes: a centrally arranged base center, and a base edge circumferentially arranged around the base center. The base edge and the base center are connected through four flexible structures that form U-shaped cantilever beams protruding towards the support top cover. With the flexible radar support provided, and with the design of U-shaped flexible structures, where an automobile body vibrates at a large amplitude, the flexible radar support can still absorb swaying in the up and down, and left and right directions during the course of driving, thereby reducing the impact of the automobile body's vibrations on the detection precision of a radar.

  • Patent number: 11239541
    Abstract: The invention provides a radar bracket with self-adaptiveness to a curved surface. The radar bracket comprises: a bracket body provided with a radar mounting part; and, a bracket flanging configured to be fixed to a skin and being arranged at a periphery of the bracket body. The bracket flanging is provided with a plurality of weakened structures for providing its self-adaptiveness to a curved surface. When the radar bracket is to be bonded or welded to a skin, thanks to the bracket flanging's ability of easily deform to adapt to different curved surfaces, the same radar bracket can be attached to different positions of the skin with different curvatures. According to the invention, it is provided a radar bracket with self-adaptiveness to a curved surface that can be used universally all over an assembled automobile, hence the production costs, the mounting costs, and the probability of erroneous mounting are greatly reduced.
