[0011] The present application provides another technical solution to solve the above technical problems, which is a method for obtaining a panoramic image, and is realized by the mobile lighthouse, comprising the following steps: a monitoring module shoots images of multiple continuous small areas according to a preset path, and transmits the images to a control module, and the control module splices the images of the multiple continuous small areas into one panoramic image.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the mobile lighthouse and the method for obtaining a panoramic image provided by the present application have the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1.The first embodiment of the present application provides a mobile lighthouse capable of obtaining panoramic images, the mobile lighthouse comprising a movable bearing body, a lamp assembly and a control module, the lamp assembly being movably connected with the bearing body, the control module being arranged on the bearing body and electrically connected with the lamp assembly; the lamp assembly comprises a lamp post and a functional assembly, one end of the lamp post being connected with the bearing body, the functional assembly comprising a base plate, a monitoring module and a searchlight, the base plate being rotatably connected with the other end of the lamp post, the searchlight and the monitoring module being arranged on the base plate, the control module controlling the rotation of the base plate and driving the monitoring module and the searchlight to rotate together with the base plate according to a preset path to shoot continuous images, and the control module splicing the continuous images into a panoramic image. Understandably, the monitoring module and the searchlight can be adjusted in angle by the control module, and the illumination angle can also be adjusted. For some areas with relatively dark light, the monitoring module cannot effectively monitor the area. At this time, the control module can be adjusted. When the control module identifies that the monitoring module cannot effectively monitor a certain area, or the user wants to manually adjust the monitoring module and the searchlight, the control module can be used to control the angle of the searchlight to illuminate the area, so that the monitoring module can obtain clearer images. It can be seen that the control module can adjust and control the monitoring module and the searchlight, which can solve the technical problem of small monitoring range caused by light, and the illumination angle of the light cannot be adjusted, which leads to poor monitoring effect.

[0016] 2.In the mobile lighthouse provided by the first embodiment of the present application, the functional assembly further comprises a holder, the holder connecting the lamp post and the base plate and controlling the rotation of the base plate. Understandably, the holder can be used to control the base plate, so that the angle, speed and cruising period of the rotation of the base plate can be more accurately controlled. It can be seen that the design of the holder improves the monitoring effect of the mobile lighthouse.

[0017] 3.The monitoring module of the mobile lighthouse provided by the first embodiment of the present application comprises a camera and a rotating support, one end of the rotating support being fixedly connected with the base plate, the other end of the rotating support being rotatably connected with the camera, and the rotating support being electrically connected with the control module. Understandably, the control module can directly control the rotating posture of the rotating support by electrically connecting the rotating support, so as to indirectly control the monitoring angle and the cruising period of the camera. It can be seen that the above design improves the flexibility of the monitoring of the mobile lighthouse.

[0018] 4. The rotating support of the mobile lighthouse provided by the first embodiment of the present application comprises a fixed part and a movable part, one end of the fixed part is fixedly connected with the base plate, one end of the movable part is rotatably connected with the other end of the fixed part, and the other end of the movable part is rotatably connected with the camera. Understandably, one end of the movable part is rotatably connected with the fixed part, which can provide one rotational degree of freedom for the camera, and the other end of the movable part is rotatably connected with the camera, which can provide another rotational degree of freedom for the camera, and the two rotational degrees of freedom of the camera can realize full coverage of the monitoring area. It can be seen that the above design expands the monitoring range of the mobile lighthouse and improves the monitoring effect of the mobile lighthouse.

[0019] 5. The functional assembly of the mobile lighthouse provided by the first embodiment of the present application further comprises an illuminating lamp and a U-shaped support, one end of the U-shaped support is arranged on the base plate and fixedly connected with the base plate, and the other end of the U-shaped support is rotatably connected with the illuminating lamp. Understandably, for some use scenarios of the searchlight without high power and light beam concentration, the illuminating lamp with smaller power and wider light coverage can also complete the lighting work well, improve the definition of the monitoring image, and through the U-shaped support, on one hand, the lighting range of the illuminating lamp can be more flexible, and on the other hand, the heat dissipation of the illuminating lamp is facilitated. It can be seen that the above design improves the practicability of the mobile lighthouse.

[0020] 6. The base plate of the mobile lighthouse provided by the first embodiment of the present application further comprises a hollow isolation plate, the isolation plate is arranged at one end of the base plate close to the holder and fixedly connected with the holder, a heat dissipation member is arranged in the isolation plate, and a ventilation hole is arranged at the position of the end of the isolation plate close to the holder corresponding to the heat dissipation member. Understandably, for the equipment for lighting in the construction site, large gathering, disaster relief site, mine, night activity site and the like, the power will be relatively large, so there will be a very serious heating phenomenon at the position of the light source, the temperature on the surface of the light source can reach 70-80℃, and the light source is arranged on the same base plate with the monitoring module, so the monitoring module is likely to be damaged internally due to the excessively high temperature of the light source, therefore, the heat dissipation of the illuminating lamp on the base plate through the heat dissipation member on the isolation plate can effectively reduce the temperature of the light source, thereby indirectly protecting the monitoring module and prolonging the service life of the light source on the base plate.

[0021] 7. The functional assembly of the mobile lighthouse provided by the first embodiment of the present application further comprises a steering engine for controlling the rotation of the searchlight relative to the base plate, the steering engine controls the rotation of the searchlight in the plane parallel to the base plate and / or in the plane perpendicular to the base plate. Understandably, the steering engine can individually control the angle of the searchlight, and the two rotational degrees of freedom can control the searchlight to completely cover the monitoring area of the monitoring module, and can provide accurate lighting for the area where the imaging of the monitoring module is not clear. It can be seen that the above design individually controls the searchlight through the steering engine, improves the monitoring effect of the monitoring module, and improves the flexibility of the use of the mobile lighthouse.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0036] For the purpose of the present application, the technical solutions and advantages are more clear and obvious, the following will be combined with the drawings and examples, the present application is further described in detail. It should be understood that the specific examples described herein are merely intended to explain the present application, and are not intended to limit the present application.

[0037] Please combine Figure 1 With Figure 2 , the first embodiment of the present application provides a mobile lighthouse 1 capable of obtaining panoramic images, the mobile lighthouse 1 comprising a movable bearing body 10, a lamp assembly 11 and a control module 12, the lamp assembly 11 being movably connected with the bearing body 10, the control module 12 being arranged on the bearing body 10 and electrically connected with the lamp assembly 11; the lamp assembly 11 comprises a lamp post 110 and a functional assembly 111, one end of the lamp post 110 being connected with the bearing body 10, the functional assembly 111 comprising a base plate 1110, a monitoring module 1111 and a searchlight 1112, the base plate 1110 being rotatably connected with the other end of the lamp post 110, the searchlight 1112 and the monitoring module 1111 being rotatably arranged on opposite sides of the base plate 1110, the base plate 1110 being capable of simultaneously driving the monitoring module 1111 and the searchlight 1112 to rotate when the base plate 1110 rotates, and the searchlight 1112 and the monitoring module 1111 being capable of rotating in a plane parallel to the base plate 1110 and / or a plane perpendicular to the base plate 1110, respectively, the control module 12 controlling the base plate 1110 to rotate and drive the monitoring module 1111 and the searchlight 1112 to rotate together with the base plate 1110 according to a preset path to shoot continuous images, and the control module 12 splicing the continuous images into a panoramic image.

[0038] The control module 12 is used to adjust the monitoring angle of the monitoring module 1111 and the illumination angle of the searchlight 1112. It can be understood that for some light dark areas, the monitoring module 1111 cannot effectively monitor, at this time, the control module 12 can be adjusted, when the control module 12 identifies that the monitoring module 1111 cannot effectively monitor a certain area, or the user wants to manually adjust the monitoring module 1111 and the searchlight 1112, the control module 12 can be used to control and adjust the angle of the searchlight 1112 to illuminate the area, so that the monitoring can obtain clearer images. It can be seen that by adjusting and controlling the monitoring module 1111 and the searchlight 1112 through the control module 12, the technical problem of small monitoring range caused by light, the technical problem of poor monitoring effect caused by the fact that the illumination angle of the light cannot be adjusted and the monitoring is not complete can be solved.

[0039] Please continue to refer to Figure 2 In some embodiments, the functional assembly 111 further comprises a steering wheel 1116 and a first support 1117 for controlling the rotation of the searchlight 1112 relative to the base plate 1110, one end of the first support 1117 is fixedly connected with the steering wheel 1116, and the other end of the first support 1117 is rotatably connected with the searchlight 1112, the steering wheel 1116 and the first support 1117 jointly control the rotation of the searchlight 1112 in a plane parallel to the base plate 1110 and / or in a plane perpendicular to the base plate 1110. It can be understood that the steering wheel 1116 and the first support 1117 provide two rotation degrees of freedom for the searchlight 1112, so that the searchlight 1112 has more flexible illumination range and can more conveniently realize the illumination demand of various long-distance small areas.

[0040] Please combine Figure 1 and Figure 2In some embodiments, the functional assembly 111 further comprises a second support 1118 and a rotating shaft 11160 for transmitting the torque of the steering engine 1116, the first support 1117 is fixedly connected with the rotating shaft 11160, the rotating shaft 11160 is provided with a positioning member 1119, one end of the second support 1118 is rotatably connected with the searchlight 1112, and the other end of the second support 1118 is clamped with the positioning member 1119 to keep the angle of the searchlight 1112 in the plane perpendicular to the base plate 1110. It can be understood that through the cooperation of the first support 1117 and the second support 1118, the posture of the searchlight 1112 can be relatively fixed, that is, the first support 1117 limits the three translational degrees of freedom and two rotational degrees of freedom of the searchlight 1112, that is, the searchlight 1112 can only rotate relative to the first support 1117 in a plane, and after the second support 1118 is added, the searchlight 1112 can be completely positioned and can keep the preset illumination angle at a relatively unstable high place to provide stable illumination for the specified area. It can be seen that the above design improves the practicability and stability of the mobile lighthouse 1.

[0041] In some embodiments, the positioning member 1119 can move along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 11160 to drive the second support 1118 to control the pitch angle of the searchlight 1112. It can be understood that the movement of the positioning member 1119 along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 11160 can drive the second support 1118 to move up and down, so that the searchlight 1112 rotates around the part connected with the first support 1117, and in turn adjusts the illumination angle of the searchlight 1112. Such adjustment mode is simple in structure and accurate in control, and only needs to convert the translation of the positioning member 1119 into the rotation of the searchlight 1112. It can be seen that the above design improves the flexibility of the lighting of the mobile lighthouse 1.

[0042] In some embodiments, the positioning member 1119 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 11160, and the rotating shaft 11160 can move in the direction perpendicular to the rotation plane of the rotating shaft 11160 to drive the positioning member 1119 to move. It can be understood that the positioning member 1119 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 11160, and the movement of the positioning member 1119 is driven by the movement of the rotating shaft 11160. Such control is easy to realize, and the installation of the positioning member 1119 is also relatively convenient.

[0043] Exemplarily, the positioning member 1119 is in the shape of a sheet-shaped protrusion which is clamped with one end of the second support 1118. It should be understood that the positioning member 1119 is used to maintain and control the angle of the searchlight 1112, and therefore, in order to improve the flexibility of the control, one end of the positioning member 1119 is fixed relative to the rotating shaft 11160 at least in the axial direction of the rotating shaft 11160, and the other end of the positioning member 1119 can also be rotatably connected with the second support 1118. When the positioning member 1119 is driven by the rotating shaft 11160 to move in the axial direction, the positioning member 1119 can control the angle of the searchlight 1112 through the second support 1118.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the first support 1117 and the second support 1118 are approximately in the shape of a V or a U. It can be understood that the two ends of the V or U can be well matched with the shell of the searchlight 1112, and the line connecting the two ends of the V or U of the first support 1117 is the rotation center of the searchlight 1112. By selecting different sizes of the first support 1117 and the second support 1118, different models of the searchlight 1112 can be adapted, the initial height of the searchlight 1112 can be controlled, and the distance of the movement of the positioning member 1119 corresponds to the proportion of the angle change of the searchlight 1112. It can be seen that the above design makes the structure of the searchlight 1112 more stable, the control more flexible, and the replaceability stronger.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 2 In some embodiments, the inner side of the V or U of the first support 1117 and / or the second support 1118 is provided with a reinforcing rib 11170. It can be understood that the reinforcing rib 11170 can greatly reduce the size and weight of the first support 1117 and the second support 1118 on the basis of maintaining the stability of the bearing structure of the searchlight 1112, that is, the weight of the lamp post 110 is reduced, and the structure of the functional assembly 111 at the top of the lamp post 110 is more stable.

[0046] Please refer to Figure 1 to Figure 3 In some embodiments, the functional assembly 111 further includes a pan-tilt 1113 which is connected with the lamp post 110 and the base plate 1110 and is electrically connected with the control module 12 to control the rotation of the base plate 1110. It should be understood that the pan-tilt 1113 is electrically connected with the control module 12, and the control module 12 controls the pan-tilt 1113 to rotate at a certain speed and angle by sending a control signal to the pan-tilt 1113. It can be understood that the pan-tilt 1113 can more accurately control the angle, speed and cruising period of the rotation of the base plate 1110. It can be seen that the design of the pan-tilt 1113 improves the monitoring effect of the mobile lighthouse 1.

[0047] Further, the holder 1113 is generally cylindrical, and the holder 1113 includes a rotating base 11130 close to one end of the base plate 1110 and a mounting base 11131 close to one end of the lamp post 110, the rotating base 11130 is rotatable relative to the mounting base 11131, and it should be understood that the rotating base 11130 can be sleeved on the mounting base 11131, or alternatively, the mounting base 11131 can be sleeved on the rotating base 11130, that is, the side wall of the holder 1113 can belong to the rotating base 11130 or the mounting base 11131, and the base plate 1110 is fixedly provided with a mounting frame 11103 close to one side of the holder 1113, and the base plate 1110 is fixedly connected or detachably connected with the rotating base 11130 of the holder 1113 through the mounting frame 11103. Alternatively, the holder 1113 and the mounting frame 11103 can be connected by threads or can be welded, and the specific mode can be determined according to the use scene. The holder 1113 further includes a driving member 11132 electrically connected with the control module 12, and it should be understood that the control module 12 controls the rotating base 11130 to rotate relative to the mounting base 11131 by controlling the driving member 11132. In some embodiments, the driving member 11132 is a direct current motor, the response speed of the direct current motor is very fast, and the direct current motor can be used for shooting a target with very fast tracking speed, and the direct current motor has good mute effect, and no noise is generated when the holder 1113 rotates; at the same time, the direct current motor itself is light in weight and large in torque, and can effectively reduce the overall weight of the holder 1113. However, the direct current motor itself cannot bear force, that is, it cannot bear the gravity from the rotating base 11130, which means that the rotating base 11130 cannot be fixedly connected with the direct current motor by screws or the like, that is, cannot be directly borne on the output shaft of the direct current motor. In the present scheme, the rotating base 11130 is borne by the mounting base 11131 and the lamp post 110, and the direct current motor only needs to provide a rotating driving force for the rotating base 11130, and does not need to bear the rotating base 11130.

[0048] Please combine Figure 1 with Figure 4In some embodiments, the functional assembly 111 further comprises a lighting lamp 1114 and a U-shaped support 1115, one end of the U-shaped support 1115 is arranged on the base plate 1110 and fixedly connected with the base plate 1110, and in this embodiment, the U-shaped support is arranged on the same side of the monitoring module 1111 (or can be arranged on different sides), the other end of the U-shaped support 1115 is rotatably connected with the lighting lamp 1114, and the lighting lamp 1114 is electrically connected with the control module 12, so that the light emission of the lighting lamp 1114 can be controlled through the control module 12, and the rotation of the lighting lamp 1114 relative to the U-shaped support 1115 can also be controlled. It can be understood that for some use scenarios of the searchlight 1112 without high power and light beam concentration, the lighting lamp 1114 with small power and wide light coverage can also complete the lighting work well, and improve the clarity of the monitoring image. Through the U-shaped support 1115, on the one hand, the lighting range of the lighting lamp 1114 can be more flexible, and on the other hand, the heat dissipation of the lighting lamp 1114 can be facilitated. It can be seen that the above design improves the practicability of the mobile lighthouse 1.

[0049] Please continue to combine Figure 1 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the monitoring module 1111 comprises a camera 11110 and a rotating support 11111, one end of the rotating support 11111 is fixedly connected with the base plate 1110, the other end of the rotating support 11111 is rotatably connected with the camera 11110, and the rotating support 11111 is electrically connected with the control module 12 to control the rotation angle of the camera 11110. It can be understood that the control module 12 directly controls the rotation posture of the rotating support 11111 by electrically connecting the rotating support 11111, so as to indirectly control the monitoring angle and the cruising period of the camera 11110. It can be seen that the above design improves the flexibility of the monitoring of the mobile lighthouse 1.

[0050] Please combine Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5In some embodiments, the rotating support 11111 comprises a fixed part 11112 and a movable part 11113. One end of the fixed part 11112 is fixedly connected to the base plate 1110, one end of the movable part 11113 is rotatably connected to the other end of the fixed part 11112, and the other end of the movable part 11113 is rotatably connected to the camera 11110. The movable part 11113 can rotate in a plane parallel to the base plate 1110 at the end connected to the fixed part 11112, and the camera 11110 can rotate in a plane perpendicular to the base plate 1110 at the end connected to the movable part 11113. It can be understood that the rotatable connection of one end of the movable part 11113 to the fixed part 11112 can provide one degree of freedom of rotation for the camera 11110, and the rotatable connection of the other end of the movable part 11113 to the camera 11110 can provide another degree of freedom of rotation for the camera 11110. The two degrees of freedom of rotation of the camera 11110 can achieve full coverage of the monitoring area. It can be seen that the above design expands the monitoring range of the mobile lighthouse 1 and improves the monitoring effect of the mobile lighthouse 1.

[0051] Further, the camera 11110 is further provided with a light-sensitive band 11114. When the light-sensitive band 11114 senses that the light in the current monitoring area is weak and causes the monitoring picture to be unclear, a signal can be sent to the control module 12. The control module 12 can adjust the searchlight 1112 and / or the illuminating lamp 1114 to provide light for the area to provide a clear monitoring picture, which is convenient, safe and reliable.

[0052] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 6In some embodiments, the substrate 1110 further comprises a hollow isolation plate 11100, which is fixedly connected to the gimbal 1113 at one end of the substrate 1110 close to the gimbal 1113, and the inside of the isolation plate 11100 is provided with a heat dissipation piece 11101. The one end of the isolation plate 11100 close to the gimbal 1113 is also provided with a ventilation hole 11102 corresponding to the position of the heat dissipation piece 11101. The position of the heat dissipation piece 11101 corresponds to the position of the light source on the substrate 1110. It can be understood that the power of the equipment for lighting in places such as construction sites, large gatherings, disaster sites, mines, and night activity places is relatively large, so there is a very serious heating phenomenon at the position of the light source, and the temperature on the surface of the light source can reach 70-80℃. Since the light source and the monitoring module 1111 are arranged on the same substrate 1110, the monitoring module 1111 is likely to be damaged by the excessively high temperature of the light source, so that the heat dissipation of the lighting lamp 1114 on the substrate 1110 by the heat dissipation piece 11101 on the isolation plate 11100 can effectively reduce the temperature of the light source, thereby indirectly protecting the monitoring module 1111 and prolonging the service life of the light source on the substrate 1110.

[0053] Please combine Figure 1 with Figure 7 The mobile lighthouse 1 further comprises a solar charging panel 13, which is foldably arranged on the bearing body 10 and can be unfolded in use and folded and stored on the bearing body 10. As a specific embodiment, in the present embodiment, the solar charging panel 13 can be folded and stored on the side of the control module 12 away from the bearing body 10, and the lamp post 110 and the lamp assembly 111 on the lamp post can be folded and stored on the side of the solar charging panel 13 away from the bearing body 10. In the daytime when the mobile lighthouse 1 is not needed, the solar charging panel 13 can charge the battery (not shown) of the mobile lighthouse 1, so as to provide emergency lighting for the surrounding area for a certain period of time in some environments without power supply. It can be seen that the design of the solar charging panel 13 enables the mobile lighthouse 1 to have a cruising function, further improving the practicability of the mobile lighthouse 1.

[0054] Please combine Figure 1 to Figure 6 The second embodiment of the present application also provides a method 2 for obtaining a panoramic image, which is realized by the above-mentioned mobile lighthouse 1 and comprises the following steps:

[0055] The camera 11110 cooperates with the gimbal 1113 to shoot images of a plurality of continuous small areas according to a preset path, and transmits the images to the control module 12. The control module 12 splices the images of the plurality of continuous small areas into one panoramic image.

[0056] In some embodiments, when the camera 11110 is shooting, the rudder 1116 of the searchlight 1112 and the movable part 11113 of the rotating support 11111 are adjusted by the control module 12 to make the searchlight 1112 and the camera 11110 point to the same target area to obtain a clear image.

[0057] Preferably, the lighting lamp 1114 can also irradiate the corresponding area to supplement light for the area when shooting panoramic images.

[0058] Preferably, when the gimbal 1113 rotates, the rudder 1116 and the movable part 11113 are locked to keep the searchlight 1112 and the camera 11110 relatively stationary. It should be understood that the mobile lighthouse 1 is generally normally stored on the bearing main body 10 when not in use, and is used by elongating the lamp post 110 to illuminate a larger area at a high place, but in some bad weather, the stability at a high place is poor, and the functional components 111 will sway when there is wind, for example, when the camera 11110 is shooting an area with poor light, it has been identified that the searchlight 1112 and / or the lighting lamp 1114 supplement light for the area, but in fact, the searchlight 1112 and / or the lighting lamp 1114 may not irradiate the area when the camera 11110 is shooting due to the sway, resulting in a poor panoramic image. Therefore, when the mobile lighthouse 1 performs a panoramic shooting task, the rudder 1116 and the movable part 11113 are locked to keep the searchlight 1112 and the camera 11110 relatively stationary during the rotation of the gimbal 1113. It can be seen that the above design can improve the clarity of the panoramic image after splicing, and improve the reliability of the method 2.

[0059] Further, the number of cameras 11110 and illuminating lamps 1114 is two, which are respectively arranged at both ends of the base plate 1110. The advantage of such arrangement is that the general monitoring task requires the camera 11110 to cruise back and forth within a certain range to monitor, so as to complete the traditional monitoring task. However, when the monitoring module 1111 needs to perform the task of obtaining a panoramic image, one camera 11110 obviously cannot perform both tasks well. Therefore, when one of the cameras performs the cruising monitoring task, the other camera can perform the panoramic shooting task. Illustratively, the rotating support 11111 of the camera performing the cruising monitoring task keeps the camera at a preset inclination angle to align with the area to be monitored, and keeps the camera relatively static with the base plate 1110. The control module 12 controls the gimbal 1113 to rotate within a preset angle range. At this time, the camera performing the panoramic shooting task and the searchlight 1114 supplementing light for the camera are controlled by the control module 12, so that the whole camera and the searchlight 1114 move with the base plate 1110, but the shooting angle of the camera and the light supplementing angle of the searchlight 1114 still remain in the continuous area for shooting and light supplementing, that is, the cruising monitoring camera adjusts the angle by only the gimbal, and the camera and the searchlight for obtaining the panoramic image adjust the angle by the gimbal and the rotating support 11111 and the rudder 1116 of the camera. It should be understood that this is only an example for explaining the control principle of the two cameras when performing different tasks, and is not limited to the above control mode.

[0060] As a specific embodiment, when the mobile lighthouse 1 performs the panoramic shooting task alone, the control module 12 sends a control signal to the lamp assembly 11, first adjusts the searchlight 1112 and the camera 11110 performing the panoramic shooting task to a preset angle through the rudder 1116, the first support 1117, the second support 1118 and the rotating support 11111, and locks, so that the searchlight 1112 provides illumination for the area shot by the camera 11110 (at this time, the illuminating lamp 1114 can select whether to participate in the panoramic shooting task according to the specific situation of the area, and it is assumed that the illuminating lamp 1114 does not need to participate in this embodiment), and then the control module 12 sends a control instruction to the driving part 11132 of the holder 1113, so that the holder 1113 rotates according to a preset angle step by step, and every time the holder 1113 rotates one step, the camera 11110 shoots the area and transmits the photo to the control module 12 for identification to determine whether the current photo meets the requirement of being spliced into a panoramic image (for example, the brightness and clarity of the photo), if not, the angle of the searchlight 1114 is adjusted to shoot again, if yes, the holder 1113 rotates to the next step until the preset angle is rotated. When the photo shooting is completed, the control module 12 splices the photos according to the shooting order of the photos, and splices the first photo and the last photo to obtain a panoramic image. If the illuminating lamp 1114 needs to participate, when the shot photo is determined to not meet the requirement, the angle of the searchlight 1112 and / or the illuminating lamp 1114 is adjusted to supplement the illumination area.

Understandably, the monitoring module and the searchlight can be adjusted in angle and irradiation angle by the control module, for some areas with relatively dark light, the monitoring module cannot effectively monitor, at this time, the control module can be adjusted, when the control module identifies that the monitoring module cannot effectively monitor a certain area, or the user wants to manually adjust the monitoring module and the searchlight, the control module can be used to control the angle of the searchlight to illuminate the area, so that the monitoring can obtain clearer images. It can be seen that by adjusting and controlling the monitoring module and the searchlight through the control module, the technical problem of small monitoring range caused by light, the technical problem of poor monitoring effect caused by the fact that the irradiation angle of the light cannot be adjusted and the monitoring is not complete can be solved.

[0067] 2. The mobile lighthouse provided by the first embodiment of the present application, wherein the functional assembly further comprises a holder, the holder being connected to the lamp post and the base plate and controlling rotation of the base plate. It can be understood that the holder is used to control the base plate, so that the angle, speed and cruising period of the rotation of the base plate can be controlled more accurately. It can be seen that the holder improves the monitoring effect of the mobile lighthouse.

[0068] 3. The monitoring module of the mobile lighthouse provided by the first embodiment of the present application, comprising a camera and a rotating support, one end of the rotating support being fixedly connected to the base plate, the other end of the rotating support being rotatably connected to the camera, and the rotating support being electrically connected to the control module.

It can be understood that for some use scenarios of the searchlight without high power and light beam concentration, the lighting lamp with small power and wide light coverage can also complete the lighting work well and improve the definition of the monitoring image, and the U-shaped support can make the lighting range of the lighting lamp more flexible on one hand and facilitate heat dissipation of the lighting lamp on the other hand.

It can be understood that the equipment for lighting in places such as construction sites, large gatherings, disaster relief sites, mine sites, and night activity sites will have relatively large power, and therefore there will be a very serious heating phenomenon at the position of the light source, and the temperature on the surface of the light source can reach 70-80℃, and the light source is arranged on the same base plate as the monitoring module, and therefore the monitoring module is likely to be damaged by the excessively high temperature of the light source and the internal structure, and therefore the heat dissipation member on the isolation plate can effectively reduce the temperature of the light source to indirectly effectively protect the monitoring module and prolong the service life of the light source on the base plate.

[0072] 7. The functional assembly of the mobile lighthouse provided by the first embodiment of the present application further comprises a steering engine for controlling the rotation of the searchlight relative to the base plate, and the steering engine controls the rotation of the searchlight in a plane parallel to the base plate and / or in a plane perpendicular to the base plate. It can be understood that the steering engine can individually control the angle of the searchlight, and the two rotation degrees of freedom can control the searchlight to completely cover the monitoring area of the monitoring module and provide accurate lighting for the area where the monitoring module is not clear. It can be seen that the above design individually controls the searchlight through the steering engine, which improves the monitoring effect of the monitoring module and improves the flexibility of the use of the mobile lighthouse.
