Device and method for securing a display screen arrangement for a vehicle roof, and vehicle roof for a motor vehicle
A device for securing a display for a vehicle roof having a main slider and an adjustment slider. Each can be coupled to the display and configured for pivoting the display open and closed and for moving it. The device may have a lever arrangement coupled to the main slider and adjustment slider for display open-and closed pivoting and movement. The device also has a locking unit having a locking element coupled to the adjustment slider pivotable relative to the adjustment slider, and which cooperates with a locking pin arranged on the lever arrangement, so that an open position of the locking element in which the locking element is spaced from the locking pin, and a closed position of the locking element in which the locking element retains the locking pin, can be set, and the display can be transferred from a first open-pivoted state into a second closed-pivoted state.
Internally damped crossbar assembly having wire rope isolator
A crossbar assembly for facilitating isolation of a sensor assembly from vibration comprises an outer crossbar segment, an inner crossbar segment, and an isolator. The outer crossbar segment comprises a payload mount interface and an outer isolator interface operable to mount to an isolator. The inner crossbar segment comprises a structure interface and an inner isolator interface operable to mount to the isolator. The isolator can be supported by the outer and inner crossbar segments. The isolator comprises a first wire rope assembly comprising wire ropes extending longitudinally from the outer crossbar segment to the inner crossbar segment, and a second wire rope assembly comprising a wire rope extending circumferentially between the outer and inner crossbar segments. The isolator operates to partially decouple the outer crossbar segment from the inner crossbar segment and dampen vibrations propagating between the outer and inner crossbar segments.
INNER REAR-VIEW MIRROR SYSTEM FOR AUTOMOBILE WITH CAMERAS
Disclosed is an inner rear-view mirror system for an automobile with cameras, which comprises a rotatable single-axle shooting device (1) of a license plate frame and a rotatable shooting device (2) with a triangular connecting rod on the top. The rotatable single-axle shooting device (1) of the license plate frame comprises a first camera (10). The rotatable single-axle shooting device (1) of the license plate frame is used for rotating about an edge of the license plate frame (4) as a rotation axis, so that the first camera (10) is driven to turn and protrude out of the spatial position of the license plate frame (4). The rotatable shooting device (2) with a triangular connecting rod on the top comprises four second cameras (20). The rotatable shooting device (2) with a triangular connecting rod on the top is used for driving the four second cameras (20) to horizontally move simultaneously along the front and back direction or the left and right direction of the vehicle. A rotatable single-axle shooting device (3) on the top comprises a third camera (30) and a rotary handle (31). The rotatable single-axle shooting device (3) of the roof is used for driving the third camera (30) to move along a circular path with the length of the rotary handle (31) as the radius. The above-mentioned inner rear-view mirror system for an automobile with cameras solves the technical problems, such as the blind angle present during shooting with a traditional inner rear-view mirror system for an automobile with cameras.
VEHICLE STORAGE ASSEMBLY
A vehicle storage assembly includes a mount, a shaft having an end that is rotatably coupled to the mount such that the shaft is rotatable about an axis, a frame configured to support a plurality of rigging accessories, a bin, a locking member, and a locking member receiver. The frame includes an outer wall and a plurality of supports defining a plurality of stations. The bin includes an outer panel disposed a first distance radially outward from the axis and a plurality of partitions defining a plurality of cavities each configured to receive at least a portion of one or more of the plurality of rigging accessories. The locking member receiver is rotatable with the shaft and defines a plurality of openings.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SENSOR PLATFORM
Apparatus are provided for a sensor platform. The sensor platform includes a sensor mount adapted to receive a sensing device, and a first articulation system that has a first rotational axis. The sensor platform includes a second articulation system that has a second rotational axis, and the second rotational axis is different than the first rotational axis. The sensor platform includes a base that supports the first articulation system, the second articulation system and the sensor mount. The first articulation system and the second articulation system are independently movable to define two degrees of freedom for positioning the sensor platform.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SENSOR PLATFORM
Methods and apparatus are provided for controlling a movement of a sensor platform. The method includes receiving a desired position of the platform from a source. The desired position includes a first coordinate value and a second coordinate value. The method includes, based on the first coordinate value and the second coordinate value, calculating, by a processor, a first value associated with a first axis of rotation of the platform and calculating a second value associated with a second axis of rotation of the platform. The method includes outputting, by the processor, one or more control signals to at least one motor associated with the platform to move the platform based on the first value and the second value.
Reconfigurable storage assembly for a vehicle
A reconfigurable storage assembly for a vehicle includes a first floor panel and a second floor panel. The first floor panel includes a first outboard region, a first inboard region, and a first underside surface. The first outboard region is configured to be coupled to a base of the vehicle. The first floor panel is configured to pivot in a first rotational direction from a first closed position to a first open position. The second floor panel includes a second outboard region, a second inboard region, and a second underside surface. The second outboard region is configured to be coupled to the base. The second floor panel is configured to pivot in a second rotational direction opposite the first rotational direction from a second closed position to a second open position.
VEHICLE INTERIOR PANEL HAVING A DOCKING STATION FOR A MOBILE DEVICE
A vehicle interior panel includes an in-vehicle support substrate and a docking station for a mobile device. The docking station includes a top edge, a bottom wall, and a reception surface for the mobile device between the top edge and the bottom wall. The reception surface is pivotably attached with respect to the support substrate. A first portion of the bottom wall is configured to hold the mobile device, and a second portion of the bottom wall is configured to remain recessed within the support substrate when the docking station is in a tilted position. This structure for a docking station helps improve within vehicle integration.
Surveillance equipment platform having a retractable telescoping structure that fully retracts within a vehicle and which has surveillance equipment mounted thereon, and sealing device mounted to the telescoping structure
A surveillance equipment platform mounting in an interior cabin of a vehicle. The interior cabin of the vehicle has a roof with an opening. The surveillance equipment platform includes a retractable telescoping structure having surveillance equipment mounted so as to extend through the opening of the roof, and to fully retract into the interior cabin. The surveillance equipment platform also includes a sealing device that mounts to the retractable telescoping structure below the surveillance equipment and oriented parallel to the roof of the interior cabin. The sealing device includes an elastically deformable gasket that elastically deforms during travel of the sealing device through the roof of the interior cabin when the surveillance equipment extends through the opening in the roof during extension of the retractable telescoping structure, and when the surveillance equipment retracts into the interior cabin during retraction of the retractable telescoping structure.
