[0041] A camera assembly, comprising an annular housing and a lens assembly, wherein a support shaft passes through the central region of the annular housing in an axial direction to support the annular housing between the GNSS assembly and the base assembly;

[0042] The camera assembly is configured such that, in response to an externally input horizontal rotation command, the camera assembly can rotate horizontally around the support axis relative to the GNSS assembly and the base assembly, and during the rotation of the camera assembly, the GNSS assembly remains stationary relative to the base assembly and the support axis, so that the world coordinates corresponding to the GNSS signal data acquired by the GNSS module remain unchanged, and the world coordinates corresponding to the image data output by the lens assembly can change in response to the horizontal rotation command.

[0043] In one embodiment, the annular housing includes: a base, an inner housing, and a sunshade covering the inner housing, wherein the support shaft passes through the center of the inner housing in an axial direction.

[0044] In one embodiment, the camera assembly includes a horizontal drive assembly disposed along an axial direction and a processor motherboard disposed along a horizontal direction, the horizontal drive assembly driving the camera assembly to rotate horizontally around the support axis.

[0045] In one embodiment, the inner housing forms a second sub-cavity, the first sub-cavity having a first opening facing one end of the base and a second opening opposite the first opening, the shape of which is adapted to the support shaft, the second opening being smaller in size than the first opening;

[0048] In one embodiment, the inner housing has a first dimension in a first radial direction that is larger than a second dimension in a second radial direction that is perpendicular to the first radial direction, so as to form a first sub-cavity located between the inner housing and the sun visor in the second radial direction, and the lens assembly is disposed in the first sub-cavity with its optical axis direction along the second radial direction.

[0053] A third sub-cavity is formed between the sunshade and the inner shell. The third sub-cavity is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the support shaft in the second radial direction and the first sub-cavity, and is located above the first sub-cavity in the axial direction. The antenna assembly is disposed in the third sub-cavity.

[0054] In one embodiment, the second sub-cavity includes:

[0055] A vertical drive assembly that drives the lens assembly to pitch and rotate relative to the annular housing;

[0056] The horizontal drive assembly and the vertical drive assembly are disposed within the second sub-cavity and are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the support shaft in the first radial direction.

[0057] One embodiment of the present invention provides a surround-view camera with GNSS components, comprising:

[0058] A GNSS assembly, including a top box and a top cover, to form a first cavity for setting up a GNSS module;

[0059] A base assembly includes a bottom cover and a base that illuminates the bottom cover, the bottom cover and the base forming an axially extending second cavity, and a power board is disposed in the second cavity;

[0060] A support shaft, the two ends of which are respectively connected to the GNSS component and the base component;

[0061] A camera assembly is sleeved on the outside of the support shaft and disposed between the GNSS assembly and the base assembly, wherein the camera assembly is horizontally rotatable relative to the GNSS assembly, the base assembly and the support shaft;

[0062] The omnidirectional camera is configured such that a first cable connected to the GNSS component passes through one end of the support shaft and exits from the other end of the support shaft to directly connect to the power board inside the base assembly, so that when the camera assembly rotates, the GNSS component and the first cable remain stationary.

[0063] In one embodiment, the camera assembly includes a processor motherboard;

[0064] A second cable connected to the power board passes through the other end of the support shaft and exits from the camera assembly to connect to the processor motherboard. The second cable rotates horizontally relative to the GNSS assembly, the base assembly, and the support shaft as the camera assembly rotates horizontally.

[0065] In one embodiment, the signal output by the GNSS component is transmitted to the power board via the first cable, and then to the processor motherboard via the second cable.

[0066] Another embodiment of the present invention also provides a surround-view camera with GNSS components, comprising:

[0067] A GNSS component, including a built-in GNSS module and a first cable connected to the GNSS module;

[0068] A base assembly, including a power board disposed within the base assembly;

[0069] A support shaft, one end of which is fastened to the GNSS component, and the other end of which is fastened to the base component;

[0070] A camera assembly, wherein the central region of the camera assembly passes through and receives the support shaft, such that the camera assembly is disposed between the GNSS assembly and the base assembly, wherein the camera assembly is horizontally rotatable relative to the GNSS assembly, the base assembly and the support shaft;

[0071] The camera assembly includes a horizontally mounted processor motherboard for connection to a lens assembly. The axial height of the processor motherboard is located between one end and the other end of the support shaft. A second cable connected to the processor motherboard is coiled around the support shaft in the area of ​​the camera assembly adjacent to the base assembly, passes through the base assembly, and then connects to the power board. The first cable passes through one end of the support shaft and exits from the other end, directly connecting to the power board. This configuration ensures that when the camera assembly rotates horizontally, the first cable remains stationary, while the second cable rotates horizontally synchronously with the camera assembly. The length of the second cable is increased to be greater than the straight-line distance between the processor motherboard and the power board by changing the number of coils relative to the support shaft.

[0072] According to the above technical solution, in this embodiment, an absolutely stationary GNSS component is combined with a camera component with adjustable degrees of freedom. The GNSS component 10 remains stationary relative to the base component 20 and the support shaft 30, while the camera component 40 can rotate horizontally around the support shaft 30 relative to the GNSS component 10 and the base component 20. This ensures that the world coordinates corresponding to the GNSS signal data collected by the GNSS module remain unchanged, and the world coordinates corresponding to the image data output by the lens component 43 can change in response to its horizontal rotation command. This is particularly suitable for remotely judging the situation reflected by the GNSS signal data through the image data collected by the lens component, especially in the case of false alarms in GNSS. Moreover, since it is generally installed in remote environments such as reservoirs, tailings, dams, and forests, manual detection is extremely inconvenient. Therefore, by combining image data (including video and images), the occurrence of false alarms can be eliminated. Attached Figure Description

[0084] In this article, "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish one another, and not to indicate degree of importance, order, or prerequisite for each other.

[0085] In this document, terms such as "equal" and "same" are not strict mathematical and / or geometric limitations, but also include errors that are understandable to those skilled in the art and permissible in manufacturing or use. Unless otherwise stated, numerical ranges in this document include not only the entire range within its two endpoints, but also several subranges contained therein.

[0086] The exemplary embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0087] To address the problems in the prior art, the present invention provides a holographic camera with a GNSS component, which simultaneously provides an absolutely stationary GNSS component and an angle-adjustable camera component, enabling it to accurately provide GNSS signal data and image data.

[0088] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the camera of the present invention. Figure 2 This is an exploded view of the first embodiment of the camera of the present invention. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, one embodiment of the present invention provides a camera, including:

[0089] GNSS component 10, which includes a GNSS module;

[0090] Base assembly 20, which is used to fix to the carrier;

[0091] The support shaft 30 is supported at the bottom by the base assembly 20 and at the top by the GNSS assembly 10.

[0092] The camera assembly 40 includes an annular housing 41 and a lens assembly 43. A support shaft 30 passes through the center of the annular housing 41 in an axial direction to support the annular housing 41 between the GNSS assembly 10 and the base assembly 20.

[0093] The camera assembly 40 is configured such that, in response to an externally input horizontal rotation command, the camera assembly 40 can rotate horizontally around the support axis 30 relative to the GNSS assembly 10 and the base assembly 20, while the GNSS assembly 10 remains stationary relative to the base assembly 20 and the support axis 30, so that the world coordinates corresponding to the GNSS signal data acquired by the GNSS module remain unchanged, and the world coordinates corresponding to the image data output by the lens assembly 43 can change in response to the horizontal rotation command.

[0094] Depend on Figure 2 As can be seen, the camera in this embodiment mainly comprises two parts: a stationary part formed by the GNSS component 10, the support shaft 30, and the base component 20, and a rotating part formed by the camera component 40. When the base component 20 is fixed to the carrier, the position of the GNSS component 10 is fixed, and the world coordinates corresponding to the GNSS signal data acquired by its GNSS module remain unchanged and are not affected by other moving objects. The camera component 40 is rotatably supported by the support shaft 30, and it can respond to external input horizontal rotation commands to rotate horizontally around the support shaft 30 relative to the GNSS component 10 and the base component 20, thereby realizing the acquisition of image signals.

[0095] In this embodiment, an absolutely stationary GNSS component is combined with a camera component with adjustable degrees of freedom. The GNSS component 10 remains stationary relative to the base component 20 and the support shaft 30, while the camera component 40 can rotate horizontally around the support shaft 30 relative to the GNSS component 10 and the base component 20. This ensures that the world coordinates corresponding to the GNSS signal data acquired by the GNSS module remain unchanged, and the world coordinates corresponding to the image data output by the lens component 43 can change in response to its horizontal rotation command. This is particularly suitable for remotely judging the situation reflected by the GNSS signal data through the image data acquired by the lens component, especially in cases where GNSS false alarms occur. Furthermore, since these systems are generally installed in remote environments such as reservoirs, tailings, dams, and forests, manual detection is extremely inconvenient. Therefore, by combining image data (including video and images), the occurrence of false alarms can be eliminated.

[0096] In this embodiment, the horizontal rotation range of the lens assembly is generally not 360° for surround shooting, but rather an angle range of approximately 340°.

[0097] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the camera in this embodiment includes:

[0098] GNSS component 10 includes a first cavity 11 and a GNSS module 12 located within the first cavity 11. GNSS signal data collected by the GNSS module 12 is output via a first cable 13.

[0099] The base assembly 20 is used to fix it to the carrier. The base assembly 20 includes a second cavity 21, in which a power board 22 and a second cable 23 electrically connected to the power board 22 are disposed.

[0100] The support shaft 30 has its two ends fixedly connected to the GNSS component 10 and the base component 20, respectively, and the support shaft 30 has a through hole 31 extending in the axial direction.

[0101] Camera assembly 40, which is supported and sleeved on the outside of support shaft 30, includes:

[0102] An annular housing 41, wherein the annular housing includes a third cavity 411, and a support shaft 30 passes through the third cavity 411 in an axial direction to support the annular housing 41 between the GNSS assembly 10 and the base assembly 20.

[0103] The horizontal drive assembly 42 drives the annular housing 41 to rotate horizontally around the support shaft 30.

[0104] Lens assembly 43, which is mounted on an annular housing 41;

[0105] The processor motherboard 44 is horizontally disposed within the third cavity 411;

[0106] The first cavity 11, the second cavity 21 and the third cavity 411 are connected via the through hole 31 of the support shaft 30;

[0107] The first cable 13 is directly connected to the power board 22 via the through hole 31, the second cable 23 is connected to the processor motherboard 44 via the through hole 31, and the image data output by the lens assembly 43 is output to the processor motherboard 44 via the third cable 431.

[0108] In this embodiment, the GNSS module 12 is fixed inside the first cavity 11, and the processor motherboard 44 is disposed inside the third cavity 411 of the camera assembly 40. Since the camera assembly 40 rotates horizontally relative to the GNSS assembly and the base assembly, if the GNSS signal data collected by the GNSS module 12 is directly output to the processor motherboard 44 through the cable, the cable will inevitably be deformed by rotation, bending, entanglement and other changes along with the camera assembly 40, which will affect the accuracy of the data and the corresponding world coordinates.

[0109] Therefore, in this embodiment, the GNSS signal data collected by the GNSS component is output via the first cable 13, and the first cable 13 is directly electrically connected to the power board 22 via the through hole 31. Figure 3 As can be seen, the first cable 13 extends from the first cavity 11 through the through hole 31 of the support shaft 30 into the second cavity 21. That is, the first cable 13 is always located in the stationary part of the camera in this embodiment. All components are fixed and absolutely stationary. Therefore, the first cable 13 can also be connected between the GNSS component 10 and the power board 22 in an absolutely stationary manner. Thus, the GNSS signal data transmitted therein will not be affected by the rotation of the camera component 40.

[0110] Furthermore, GNSS signal data is a high-frequency signal, which is easily affected by cable vibration and deformation during transmission. Therefore, in a preferred embodiment, the power board 22 includes a data conversion module, which converts the GNSS signal data into serial digital signal data. The serial digital signal data is then output to the processor motherboard 44 via the second cable 23. The processor motherboard 44 processes the serial digital signal data and can further output the processed signal or use the processed signal as a control signal for other components.

[0111] In this embodiment, GNSS signal data is transmitted to an absolutely stationary power board 22 via a first cable 13, and then converted into serial digital signal data that is unaffected by cable deformation via a data conversion module. The power board 22 combines this serial digital signal data with power and outputs it to the processor motherboard 44 via a second cable 23. At this time, the data transmitted in the second cable 23 can be twisted and moved. Therefore, even if the second cable rotates horizontally along with the camera assembly 40, it will not affect the world coordinates and stability of the GNSS signal data.

[0112] Driven by the horizontal drive assembly 42, the lens assembly 43 rotates horizontally relative to the GNSS assembly 10, the base assembly 20, and the support shaft 30. This ensures that the world coordinates corresponding to the GNSS signal data acquired by the GNSS module 12 remain unchanged, while the world coordinates corresponding to the image data output by the lens assembly 43 can change in response to the rotation of the lens assembly 43. Therefore, the structure of this embodiment can simultaneously meet the requirements of signal transmission and large-range horizontal movement of the camera assembly.

[0113] Specifically, in combination Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 The direction of the first and second cables is shown in another direction. The support shaft 30 has a through hole 32 that connects the third cavity 411 and the through hole 31 in the radial direction. The second cable 23 extends from the second cavity 21 into the third cavity 411 through the through hole 32.

[0114] In order to accommodate the large-scale horizontal movement of the camera assembly, the second cable 23 is wound around the support shaft 30 multiple times in the third cavity 411, and the second cable 23 follows the horizontal rotation of the camera assembly 40 relative to the support shaft 30.

[0115] The third cavity 411 has a horizontally arranged cable guard 412, and the second cable 23 is supported on the cable guard 412.

[0116] Since one end of the second cable 23 is connected to the power board of the stationary part and the other end is connected to the processor motherboard 44 of the rotating part, the length of the second cable 23 needs to provide redundancy suitable for the rotation of the camera assembly. In this embodiment, the second cable 23 is wound around the support shaft 30 multiple times within the third cavity 411, and can be radially spirally distributed multiple times to avoid limiting the horizontal rotation range of the camera assembly due to the length of the second cable 23.

[0117] Preferably, the perforation 32 can be located at one end of the support shaft 30 near the base assembly 20 and above the cable guard 412, so that when the second cable 23 enters the third cavity 411 through the perforation 32, it can be supported by the cable guard 412 under the action of gravity. Further, the processor motherboard 44 can be higher than the perforation 32 and the cable guard 412, so that the second cable 23 can be connected to the lower surface of the processor motherboard 44.

[0118] like Figure 3 As shown, the optical axis of the lens assembly 43 is set along the radial direction of the support shaft 30. The lens assembly 43 and the processor motherboard 44 are located on both sides of the support shaft 30 in the radial direction, and the optical axis of the lens assembly 43 is higher than that of the processor motherboard 44 in the axial direction, so that the third cable 431 can be connected to the processor motherboard 44 after passing around the support shaft 30.

[0119] like Figure 3 As shown, since the optical axis of the lens assembly 43 is higher than that of the processor motherboard 44 in the axial direction, the third cable 431 can be connected to the upper surface of the processor motherboard 44, thereby realizing the space utilization and reasonable layout of the processor motherboard 44 and avoiding data interference and cable tangling.

[0120] In this embodiment, three types of cables are included. The first cable has both ends located in a stationary section. The second cable connects the stationary section and the rotating section, while the third cable has both ends located in the rotating section. Although the third cable is located in the rotating section, since the camera assembly as a whole can rotate horizontally relative to the support shaft, and the individual components within the camera assembly are relatively stationary, the position of the third cable is also relatively stationary. In summary, of the three types of cables, only the second cable connects the stationary section and the rotating section, and the data transmitted through it is unaffected by cable deformation. Therefore, only the second cable can be coiled.

[0121] Preferably, the lens assembly 43 further includes an image data adapter board 432. The image data acquired by the lens assembly 43 is converted by the image data adapter board 432 and then output to the processor motherboard 44 via the third cable 431.

[0122] To prevent the shaking of the third cable 431 from affecting the image data signal, the lens assembly 43 of this embodiment further includes an image data adapter board 432 to convert the image data acquired by the lens assembly 43 into a digital signal that is not affected by cable deformation, and then output through the third cable 431.

[0123] like Figure 4 As shown, the horizontal drive component 42 includes:

[0124] A horizontal synchronous pulley 421 is fixedly connected to one end of the support shaft 30 near the GNSS assembly 10 and meshes with the annular housing 41; and

[0125] A horizontal drive motor 422 drives a horizontal synchronous pulley 421 to drive the camera assembly 40 to rotate horizontally relative to the support shaft 30.

[0126] The horizontal synchronous pulley 421 is higher than the processor motherboard 44 in the axial direction, so that the horizontal drive motor 422 is positioned between the horizontal synchronous pulley 421 and the processor motherboard 44.

[0127] Specifically, the horizontal synchronous pulley 421 can be fixed to the support shaft 30 by screws to form an integral part with the support shaft 30, while the horizontal drive motor 422 is fixed to the annular housing 41 to form an integral part with the annular housing 41. When the horizontal drive motor 422 drives the horizontal synchronous pulley 421 to rotate, for example, through a synchronous belt, since the support shaft 30 is stationary, its rotational driving force does not drive the horizontal synchronous pulley 421 to rotate, but rather acts on the horizontal drive motor 422, causing the horizontal drive motor 422 and the annular housing 41 to rotate together around the support shaft 30. That is, the horizontal drive motor 422 is both a power output source and a driven component.

[0128] Furthermore, it also includes:

[0129] The vertical drive assembly 45 drives the lens assembly 43 to pitch and rotate relative to the annular housing 41, so as to adjust the angle between the optical axis of the lens assembly 43 and the support axis 30.

[0130] Therefore, the camera component in this embodiment can achieve two degrees of freedom adjustment, which can achieve a wide range of adjustment of 340° in the horizontal range and a wide range of adjustment of -15° to 60° in the axial direction.

[0131] In a preferred embodiment, the power board 22 further includes:

[0132] Output cable 232 is connected between power board 22 and input / output port 24. Input / output port 24 is located on base assembly 20, wherein input / output port 24 is higher than power board 22 in the vertical direction.

[0133] The signals transmitted in the second cable 23 may include power signals and serial digital signals converted by the power board. The output cable 232 is used to output signals as an external cable via the input / output port 24.

[0134] After the input / output port 24 is connected to the base assembly 20, the power board 22 is then installed inside the base assembly 20. Therefore, the input / output port 24 is higher than the power board 22 in the vertical direction.

[0135] Figure 5 This is an exploded view of a second embodiment of the camera of the present invention. Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the annular shell 41 includes: a base 415, an inner shell 416, and a sunshade 417 covering the inner shell 416. The base 415 and the bottom of the sunshade 417 are joined together, wherein the support shaft 30 passes through the center of the inner shell 416 in the axial direction.

[0136] The camera assembly 40 includes a horizontal drive assembly 42 arranged in the axial direction and a processor motherboard 44 arranged in the horizontal direction. The horizontal drive assembly 42 drives the camera assembly 40 to rotate horizontally around the support shaft 30.

[0137] In order to rationally arrange the various components in the camera assembly 40, the annular housing 41 divides its internal space into multiple different cavities through the inner housing 416 to separate the multiple different components. Specifically, the inner housing 416 and the base 415 are assembled to form a second sub-cavity 414. The second sub-cavity 414 has a first opening facing the end of the base 415 and a second opening opposite the first opening, the shape of which is adapted to the support shaft 30. The size of the second opening is smaller than that of the first opening. The radial dimension of the sunshade 417 is larger than that of the first opening, so that a first sub-cavity 413 is formed between the sunshade 417 and the inner housing 416.

[0138] The lens assembly 43 is disposed in the first sub-cavity 413, and the horizontal drive assembly 42 and the processor motherboard 44 are disposed in the second sub-cavity 414.

[0139] like Figure 5 As shown, the inner housing 416 has a first dimension L1 in the first radial direction that is larger than the second dimension L2 in the second radial direction that is perpendicular to the first radial direction, and the optical axis of the lens assembly 43 is set along the second radial direction.

[0140] Since the second dimension L2 of the inner housing 416 in the second radial direction is smaller than the first dimension L1, the inner housing 416 forms a concave space in the second radial direction, thereby forming a first sub-cavity 413 for accommodating the lens assembly 43 between the inner housing 416 and the inner surface of the sun visor 417.

[0141] The lens assembly 43 and the processor motherboard 44 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the support shaft 30 in the second radial direction.

[0142] Furthermore, the camera in this embodiment also includes:

[0143] Antenna assembly 50 and lens assembly 43 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of support shaft 30 in the second radial direction, that is, antenna assembly 50 and processor motherboard 44 are located in the same vertical plane in the second radial direction.

[0144] A third sub-cavity 418 is formed between the sunshade 417 and the inner housing 416. The third sub-cavity 418 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the support shaft 30 in the second radial direction and the first sub-cavity 413, and is located above the first sub-cavity 413 in the axial direction. The antenna assembly 50 is disposed in the third sub-cavity 418.

[0145] The antenna signal of the antenna assembly 50 is connected to the processor motherboard 44 via the fourth cable 51 and is connected to the upper surface of the processor motherboard 44.

[0146] In this embodiment, the lens assembly 43, the antenna assembly 50, and the processor motherboard 44 are each independently housed in their respective sub-cavities without interfering with each other.

[0147] In order to rationally arrange the internal space of the camera assembly, in a preferred embodiment, the first sub-cavity 413 is symmetrical about the support axis 30 in the first radial direction, and the horizontal drive assembly 42 and the vertical drive assembly 45 are disposed in the first sub-cavity 413 and symmetrically disposed on both sides of the support axis 30 in the first radial direction.

[0148] Then as Figure 6 and Figure 4 As can be seen, the horizontal drive assembly 42 and the vertical drive assembly 45 are located on both sides of the lens assembly 43, respectively, to adjust the orientation of the camera assembly in the horizontal and axial directions. The lens assembly 43, the antenna assembly 50, and the processor motherboard 44 are located on both sides of the support shaft in the radial direction, so they do not interfere with each other.

[0149] like Figure 3 As shown, another embodiment of the invention also provides a surround-view camera with GNSS components, comprising:

[0150] GNSS component 10 includes a top box and a top cover to form a first cavity 11 for setting up GNSS module 12;

[0151] The base assembly 20 includes a bottom cover and a base for irradiating the bottom cover. The bottom cover and the base form an axially extending second cavity 21, and a power board 22 is disposed inside the second cavity 21.

[0152] The support shaft 30 has two ends connected to the GNSS component 10 and the base component 20, respectively.

[0153] Camera assembly 40 is sleeved on the outside of support shaft 30 and disposed between GNSS assembly 10 and base assembly 20. Camera assembly 40 can rotate horizontally relative to GNSS assembly 10, base assembly 20 and support shaft 30.

[0154] The circumferential camera is configured such that the first cable 13 connected to the GNSS component 10 passes through one end of the support shaft 30 and exits from the other end of the support shaft 30, so as to directly connect to the power board 22 in the base assembly 20, so that when the camera assembly 40 rotates, the GNSS component 10 and the first cable 13 remain stationary.

[0155] The camera assembly 40 includes a processor motherboard 44;

[0156] The second cable 23, which is connected to the power board 22, passes through the other end of the support shaft 30 and exits from the camera assembly 40 to connect to the processor motherboard 44. The second cable 23 rotates horizontally relative to the GNSS assembly 10, the base assembly 20 and the support shaft 30 as the camera assembly 40 rotates horizontally.

[0157] Specifically, the signal output by the GNSS component 10 is transmitted to the power board 22 via the first cable 13, and then to the processor motherboard 44 via the second cable 23.

[0158] like Figure 3 As shown, a preferred embodiment of the present invention also provides a surround-view camera with GNSS components, comprising:

[0159] GNSS component 10 includes a built-in GNSS module 12 and a first cable 13 connected to the GNSS module 12;

[0160] The base assembly 20 includes a power board 22 disposed within the base assembly 20;

[0161] Support shaft 30, one end of which is fastened to GNSS component 10 and the other end of which is fastened to base component 20;

[0162] The camera assembly 40 has a central region that passes through and receives the support shaft 30, so that the camera assembly 40 is positioned between the GNSS assembly 10 and the base assembly 20, wherein the camera assembly can rotate horizontally relative to the GNSS assembly 10, the base assembly 20 and the support shaft 30.

[0163] The camera assembly 40 includes a horizontally mounted processor motherboard 44 for connection to the lens assembly 43. The axial height of the processor motherboard 44 is located between one end and the other end of the support shaft. The second cable 23, connected to the processor motherboard 44, is coiled around the support shaft 30 in the area adjacent to the base assembly 20 in the camera assembly 40, passes through the base assembly 20, and then connects to the power board 22. The first cable 13 passes through one end of the support shaft 30 and exits from the other end of the support shaft 30, and is directly connected to the power board 22. This configuration ensures that when the camera assembly 40 rotates horizontally, the first cable 13 remains stationary, while the second cable 23 rotates horizontally synchronously with the camera assembly 40. The length of the second cable 23 is greater than the straight-line distance between the processor motherboard 44 and the power board 22 by changing the number of coils relative to the support shaft 30.

[0164] In this embodiment, an absolutely stationary GNSS component is combined with a camera component with adjustable degrees of freedom. The GNSS component 10 remains stationary relative to the base component 20 and the support shaft 30, while the camera component 40 can rotate horizontally around the support shaft 30 relative to the GNSS component 10 and the base component 20. This ensures that the world coordinates corresponding to the GNSS signal data acquired by the GNSS module remain unchanged, and the world coordinates corresponding to the image data output by the lens component 43 can change in response to its horizontal rotation command. This is particularly suitable for remotely judging the situation reflected by the GNSS signal data through the image data acquired by the lens component, especially in cases where GNSS false alarms occur. Furthermore, since these systems are generally installed in remote environments such as reservoirs, tailings, dams, and forests, manual detection is extremely inconvenient. Therefore, by combining image data (including video and images), the occurrence of false alarms can be eliminated.

[0165] In this embodiment, the lens assembly 43, the antenna assembly 50, and the processor motherboard 44 are each independently housed in their respective sub-cavities without interfering with each other.

[0166] The detailed descriptions listed above are merely specific descriptions of feasible embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. All equivalent implementation schemes or modifications made without departing from the spirit of the present invention, such as combinations, divisions or repetitions of features, should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
