[0039] The embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0040] Figure 1 The front view of a pan-tilt camera 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 2 The schematic diagram of a spherical housing 120 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. The following will be described in detail in conjunction with Figure 1 and Figure 2 for a detailed description.

[0041] As shown in Figure 1As shown, the pan-tilt camera 100 includes a base 110, a spherical housing 120, a lens housing 130, and a lens assembly 140. The spherical housing 120 is disposed on top of the base 110 and configured to be rotatable about a first axis 200 (the first axis 200 may be vertical, for example) on top of the base 110. A window 121 is provided on the spherical housing 120. Specifically, as Figure 2 shown, the spherical housing 120 may include a front half shell 122 and a rear half shell 123. Notches 124 are provided on both the front half shell 122 and the rear half shell 123. When the front half shell 122 is joined with the rear half shell 123, the notch 124 on the front half shell 122 and the notch 124 on the rear half shell 123 form the window 121, and a receiving cavity 125 is formed between the front half shell 122 and the rear half shell 123. As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the lens housing 130 is disposed in the receiving cavity 125 of the spherical housing 120 and configured to be rotatable about a second axis 300 (the second axis 300 may be horizontal, for example) in the spherical housing 120. The lens assembly 140 is used to photograph a target area and acquire image information of the target area. The lens assembly 140 may be installed at a position corresponding to the window 121 at the front of the lens housing 130 and configured to move with the lens housing 130, thus having a first position and a second position.

[0042] Figure 3 The rear view of the pan-tilt camera 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. As Figure 3 shown, heat dissipation holes 131 may also be provided at a position corresponding to the window 121 at the rear of the lens housing 130. The heat dissipation holes 131 may be provided in multiple numbers, for example, to improve the heat dissipation efficiency and prevent the electronic devices installed in the lens housing 130 from overheating. Among them, the size of the window 121 is set according to the movement ranges of the lens assembly 140 and the heat dissipation holes 131 to reduce the influence of the spherical housing 120 on heat dissipation and the effective shooting range of the lens assembly 140.

[0043] Figure 4 The cross-sectional view of the pan-tilt camera 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. As Figure 4As shown, the base 110 is provided with a receiving chamber 111, and the receiving chamber 111 is open at the top of the base 110. The receiving chamber 111 provides a relatively large installation space, and devices such as a horizontal motor 112 and a power supply board 113 are arranged in the receiving chamber 111. Among them, the horizontal motor 112 is configured to drive the spherical housing 120 to rotate around the first axis 200. Specifically, the horizontal motor 112 is arranged along the first axis 200, and the body of the horizontal motor 112 is fixed in the receiving chamber 111. The output shaft of the horizontal motor 112 is directly connected to the spherical housing 120 or connected through transmission components such as gears. When the horizontal motor 112 operates, the output shaft of the horizontal motor 112 drives the spherical housing 120 to rotate. An inwardly concave circular groove 114 can be provided at the top of the base 110. The bottom of the circular groove 114 is the opening, and the bottom of the spherical housing 120 is inserted into the circular groove 114 and is rotationally matched with the circular groove 114 to improve the stability of the spherical housing 120 during rotation.

[0044] As Figure 4 shown, the lens housing 130 is provided with an installation chamber 132. The installation chamber 132 provides a relatively large installation space, and devices such as a vertical motor 133 and a main board 134 are arranged in the installation chamber 132. Among them, the vertical motor 133 is configured to drive the lens housing 130 to rotate around the second axis 300 inside the spherical housing 120. Figure 5 FIG. shows a schematic diagram of the front half shell 122 according to an embodiment of the present invention. As Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, on one side ( Figure 4 the right side) of the lens housing 130, a through hole 135 is provided along the second axis 300. A connecting bone 150 is provided at a position corresponding to the through hole 135 inside the spherical housing 120. The connecting bone 150 can be integrally formed with the spherical housing 120. Connecting holes 151 and threaded holes 152 that communicate with each other are provided on the connecting bone 150, and a set screw 153 is arranged in the threaded hole 152. The body of the vertical motor 133 is fixedly connected to the lens housing 130. The output shaft of the vertical motor 133 passes through the lens housing 130 through the through hole 135 and is inserted into the connecting hole 151. The set screw 153 in the threaded hole 152 abuts against the output shaft of the vertical motor 133 to limit the output shaft of the vertical motor 133 from rotating relative to the connecting bone 150 and the spherical housing 120. In other embodiments, holes can also be provided on the output shaft of the vertical motor 133, and the set screw 153 can be screwed into the holes to realize the connection between the connecting bone 150 and the output shaft of the vertical motor 133. When the vertical motor 133 operates, since the output shaft of the vertical motor 133 is fixed to the spherical housing 120, the body of the vertical motor 133 will drive the lens housing 130 to rotate around the output shaft of the vertical motor 133.

[0045] According to an embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 4As shown in the figure, a wire 400 is provided between the installation chamber 132 of the lens housing 130 and the accommodation chamber 111 of the base 110. Specifically, the wire 400 may include a first wire 410 and a second wire 420. Among them, the first wire 410 and the second wire 420 may be respectively led out from the horizontal motor 112 and the power supply board 113, arranged in parallel and finally connected to the main board 134.

[0046] As Figure 4 shown in the figure, a first wire passing hole 126 is provided at the bottom of the spherical housing 120. The first wire passing hole 126 is directly opposite to the opening at the top of the accommodation chamber 111 to communicate the accommodation cavity 125 with the accommodation chamber 111. The first wire passing hole 126 is used for the wire 400 to penetrate into or out of the accommodation cavity 125. Preferably, the size of the first wire passing hole 126 is as large as possible to reduce the influence of the wire 400 passing through the first wire passing hole 126 on the rotation of the spherical housing 120, so that the spherical housing 120 can rotate horizontally in a large range. A second wire passing hole 136 is provided on the lens housing 130. The second wire passing hole 136 communicates the accommodation cavity 125 and the installation chamber 132. The second wire passing hole 136 is used for the wire 400 to penetrate into or out of the installation chamber 132. Preferably, the second wire passing hole 136 is opened on the other side of the lens housing 130 along the second axis 300 ( Figure 4 the left side in the figure), which not only reduces the disturbance of the wire 400 when the lens housing 130 rotates around the second axis 300, but also reduces the restriction of the wire 400 on the rotation range of the lens housing 130. For example, the rotation angles of the lens housing 130 upwards and downwards can reach 60 degrees respectively.

[0047] As Figure 4 shown in the figure, a wire buckle 160 is connected to the inner side of the spherical housing 120. The wire buckle 160 has a wire passing channel 161. The wire 400 can pass through the wire buckle 160 from the wire passing channel 161, so that the wire 400 can be firmly fixed on the spherical housing 120 by the wire buckle 160. Preferably, a plurality of wire buckles 160 can be provided and arranged at intervals between the first wire passing hole 126 and the second wire passing hole 136 to better fix the wire 400.

[0048] As Figure 4 shown in the figure, the wire 400 connected to the main board 134 can sequentially pass through the second wire passing hole 136, two wire buckles 160 and the first wire passing hole 126 and enter the base 110. By fixing the wire 400 with the wire buckle 160, the risk of irregular winding of the wire 400 can be reduced, the risk of damaging the wire 400 can be reduced, and there is no need to additionally add auxiliary materials to fix the wire 400, which saves costs and has no adverse effect on the movement of the pan-tilt camera 100.

[0049] As Figure 2As shown, the wire clip 160 includes a wire slot 162 and a wire pressing rib 163. The wire slot 162 and the wire pressing rib 163 are respectively arranged on the inner edges of the front half shell 122 and the inner edges of the rear half shell 123. When the front half shell 122 and the rear half shell 123 are spliced together, the wire pressing rib 163 contacts the wire slot 162 and forms the wire passing channel 161 therebetween. The size of the wire passing channel 161 can be adjusted by the depth of the slot.

[0050] As Figure 4 shown, to avoid the wire 400 from being pulled off and reduce the influence of the wire 400 on the horizontal rotation range of the spherical housing 120 (i.e., the rotation range around the first axis 200), the length of the wire 400 is designed so that the part of the wire 400 located in the accommodation chamber 111 and the part of the wire 400 located at the bottom of the accommodation cavity 125 that is not fixed by the wire clip 160 are always in a relaxed state. However, during the rotation of the spherical housing 120, the part of the wire 400 located at the bottom of the accommodation cavity 125 that is not fixed may warp upward and interfere with the lens housing 130, which may cause the wire 400 to wear, or the wire 400 may be torn off due to being hooked by the external protrusions of the lens housing 130.

[0051] As Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, a shielding plate 170 is further arranged in the accommodation cavity 125. The shielding plate 170 is located between the lens housing 130 and the first wire passing hole 126. The shielding plate 170 is fixedly connected to the front half shell 122 or the rear half shell 123. For example Figure 5 as shown, the shielding plate 170 is integrally formed with the front half shell 122. When the front half shell 122 and the rear half shell 123 are spliced together, there is a wire passing channel 171 between the spherical housing 120 and the shielding plate 170. By arranging the shielding plate 170, the wire 400 passing through the wire passing channel 171 can be separated from the lens housing 130, avoiding interference between the lens housing 130 and the wire 400 during rotation and reducing the possibility of damage to the wire 400.

[0052] According to an embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 2 shown, the front half shell 122 and the rear half shell 123 may be respectively provided with a snap 181 and a protrusion 182 that cooperate with each other. Figure 6 shows a schematic diagram of the rear half shell 123 according to an embodiment of the present invention. For example Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, a plurality of buckles 181 are provided at the inner edge of the front half shell 122, and a plurality of protrusions 182 are provided at the inner edge of the rear half shell 123. When the front half shell 122 and the rear half shell 123 are spliced together, the buckles 181 are snap-connected to the corresponding protrusions 182. By providing the buckles 181 and the protrusions 182, the front half shell 122 and the rear half shell 123 can be quickly connected together. To improve the connection stability between the front half shell 122 and the rear half shell 123, screws 183 (see Figure 4 ) can be used to fasten the front half shell 122 and the rear half shell 123. For example, Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, two screw holes 184 are provided on the front half shell 122, and wire passing holes 185 are provided at positions corresponding to the screw holes 184 on the rear half shell 123. The screw 183 can first pass through the wire passing hole 185 and then be threadedly connected to the screw hole 184.

[0053] According to an embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, a male stop 186 and a female stop 187 that cooperate with each other are respectively provided at the edges of the front half shell 122 and the rear half shell 123. For example, a female stop 187 is provided at the edge of the front half shell 122, and a male stop 186 is provided at the edge of the rear half shell 123. When the front half shell 122 and the rear half shell 123 are spliced together, the male stop 186 is inserted into the female stop 187, so as to effectively control the step difference and deformation between the front half shell 122 and the rear half shell 123.

[0054] According to an embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 4 shown, a rotary support structure 190 is provided inside the spherical housing 120, and the lens housing 130 is rotatably connected to the rotary support structure 190. Specifically, as combined with Figure 5 shown, the rotary support structure 190 may include a support ring 191 and support ribs 192. The support ribs 192 are connected between the front half shell 122 and the support ring 191, and a certain gap is left between the support ring 191 and the spherical housing 120 to form a third wire passing hole 193. A circular rib 137 is provided outside the lens housing 130 around the second wire passing hole 136. The circular rib 137 is inserted into the support ring 191, and the wire 400 inside the lens housing 130 can sequentially pass through the second wire passing hole 136 and the third wire passing hole 193 and enter the accommodation cavity 125. In another embodiment, the circular rib 137 may not be provided on the spherical housing 120, but the support ring 191 is inserted into the second wire passing hole 136 and is rotatably matched with the second wire passing hole 136. The support ring 191 and the support ribs 192 cooperate with the circular rib 137 on the lens housing 130 to provide support for the lens housing 130 and improve the stability of the lens housing 130 during rotation.

[0055] Figure 7Another cross-sectional view of the pan-tilt camera 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown, as Figure 7 shown, an upper stop bone 138 and a lower stop bone 139 are connected to the outside of the lens housing 130, and a limiting bone 127 is connected to the inside of the spherical housing 120, wherein the limiting bone 127 is located between the upper stop bone 138 and the lower stop bone 139. The upper stop bone 138 and the lower stop bone 139 can contact the limiting bone 127 by rotating around the second axis 300 with the lens housing 130. When the limiting bone 127 contacts the upper stop bone 138, the lens assembly 140 is in the first position, and when the limiting bone 127 contacts the lower stop bone 139, the lens assembly 140 is in the second position. By providing the limiting bone 127, the upper stop bone 138, and the lower stop bone 139, the movement range of the lens housing 130 is limited, avoiding over-displacement of the lens housing 130 driven by the vertical motor 133.

[0056] Compared with the prior art, in the pan-tilt camera 100 provided by the present invention, by providing a wire buckle 160 and a baffle 170 in the accommodation cavity 125, the wire 400 is fixed by the wire buckle 160, and the part of the wire 400 passing through the wire routing channel 171 is separated from the lens housing 130 by the baffle 170, which can reduce the risk of irregular winding of the wire 400 and the risk of damaging the wire 400. Moreover, there is no need to additionally add auxiliary materials to fix the wire 400, saving costs. By providing a second wire passing hole 136 along the second axis 300 on the lens housing 130, the influence of the wire 400 on the rotation range of the lens housing 130 can be reduced, improving the viewing angle of the pan-tilt camera 100 in the vertical direction and reducing the blind area of the pan-tilt camera 100.

[0057] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
