[0026] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0027] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the invention. However, the invention may also be practiced in other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the invention. Therefore, the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0028] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places throughout this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single embodiment or an embodiment selectively excluded from other embodiments.
[0029] Example 1
[0030] Reference Figures 1-6 This is the first embodiment of the present invention, which provides a traffic violation parking capture device, including a camera 100, a mounting module 200, and a snap-fit module 300. The camera 100 is fixedly mounted under the mounting plate 205 of the mounting module 200 by the snap-fit module 300. The snap-fit module 300 makes the installation and removal of the camera 100 simple and convenient, greatly facilitating the maintenance and replacement of the camera, improving work efficiency, and reducing the downtime of the monitoring screen.
[0031] Specifically, the mounting module 200 includes a mounting post 201, a mounting rod 202 is fixedly connected to the right side of the mounting post 201, a mounting seat 203 is sleeved on the outer surface of the mounting rod 202, a connecting rod 204 is fixedly mounted at the bottom end of the mounting seat 203, and a mounting plate 205 is hinged to the bottom end of the connecting rod 204.
[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, the surface of the mounting rod 202 is equipped with two sets of mounting bases 203, connecting rods 204, mounting plates 205 and snap-fit modules 300, so that two cameras 100 can be installed on the entire device, and the shooting directions of the two cameras can be opposite, thus enabling the capture of illegally parked vehicles on both sides from different directions, increasing the monitoring range and improving practicality.
[0033] The snap-fit module 300 includes a first snap-fit component 301 disposed at the bottom of the mounting plate 205, and a second snap-fit component 302 disposed at the center of the first snap-fit component 301. The first snap-fit component 301 can limit and snap-fit the camera 100 as a whole, and the function of the second snap-fit component 302 is to further limit and fix the camera 100 below the mounting plate 205, so as to prevent the camera 100 from falling off when the mounting rod 202 shakes.
[0034] Furthermore, the camera 100 is fixedly attached to the bottom of the mounting plate 205 by the snap-fit module 300. The first snap-fit assembly 301 includes a first snap-fit plate 301a fixedly installed on the rear side of the bottom end of the mounting plate 205, and a second snap-fit plate 301b is provided at the front end of the first snap-fit plate 301a. Both the first snap-fit plate 301a and the second snap-fit plate 301b have snap-fit grooves 301c inside. A sliding plate 101 that matches the snap-fit groove 301c is fixedly installed on the top of the camera 100.
[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, without the limiting and fixing of the second snap-fit component 302, the camera 100 is slidably snapped into the snap-fit groove 301c of the first snap-fit plate 301a and the second snap-fit plate 301b by the sliding plate 101. Therefore, when the mounting rod 202 shakes, the camera 100 is at risk of slipping off. Therefore, the device is also provided with a second snap-fit component 302 for secondary fixing of the camera 100.
[0036] Specifically, the second snap-fit assembly 302 includes a positioning block 302a disposed between the first snap-fit plate 301a and the second snap-fit plate 301b. Two positioning blocks 302a are provided. The bottom ends of the two positioning blocks 302a are movably connected to a retaining ring 302c via a telescopic spring 302b. A telescopic groove 302d is formed inside the positioning block 302a. Positioning grooves 302e are symmetrically formed on the left and right sides of the bottom end of the telescopic groove 302d. An arc-shaped retaining plate 302f is provided inside each of the two positioning grooves 302e. A sliding connection is formed within the telescopic groove 302d. The telescopic rod 302g is attached, and an installation block 302h is fixedly installed on the top of the telescopic rod 302g. The left and right sides of the installation block 302h are elastically connected to the snap-fit blocks 302i by springs. The back sides of the two snap-fit blocks 302i are provided with arc-shaped slots 302j that are adapted to the arc-shaped snap plate 302f. The bottom end of the telescopic rod 302g penetrates the inner bottom wall of the positioning block 302a and extends to its outside to be fixedly connected to the side wall of the snap ring 302c. An arc-shaped groove 102 adapted to the snap ring 302c is provided at the center of the bottom end of the camera 100.
[0037] Combination Figures 3-6 As shown, the second locking component 302 is locked into the arc-shaped groove 102 at the bottom of the camera 100 by a locking ring 302c, thereby forming a vertical locking mechanism for the camera 100. This solves the problem of the camera 100 easily slipping off. At the same time, it is also very convenient to install or remove the camera 100. Simply push the locking ring 302c upward to lock the camera 100 in place, or pull the locking ring 302c downward to release the locking mechanism. The operation is extremely simple, which improves work efficiency and reduces the downtime of the monitoring screen.
[0038] Example 2
[0039] This invention also provides a method for using a traffic violation parking detection device, comprising the following steps:
[0040] S1: Pull the retaining ring downwards to the bottom.
[0041] S2: The mounting block at the upper end of the retaining ring can move into the positioning groove. At this time, the retaining blocks on both sides can spring to both sides of the positioning groove under the elastic force of the spring.
[0042] S3: This allows the arc-shaped slots on both sides of the two locking blocks to engage with the arc-shaped locking plate, preventing the spring force from pulling the retaining ring back to its original position.
[0043] S4: After releasing the retaining ring to limit and fix the camera in the vertical direction, the camera can be pulled out from the first and second retaining plates, thus disassembling the camera.
[0044] The specific working principle is as follows: When it is necessary to remove the camera 100, pull down the retaining ring 302c to the bottom. The mounting block 302h at the upper end of the retaining ring 302c can move into the positioning groove 302e. At this time, the locking blocks 302i on both sides can spring to the sides of the positioning groove 302e under the action of the spring force, so that the arc-shaped locking grooves 302j on both sides of the two locking blocks 302i can engage with the arc-shaped locking plates 302f on both sides of the positioning groove 302e, preventing the elastic force of the telescopic spring 302b from pulling the retaining ring 302c back to its original position. After the retaining ring 302c releases the vertical limiting and fixing of the camera 100, the camera 100 can be pulled out from the first locking plate 301a and the second locking plate 301b to achieve the removal of the camera. Similarly, when installing the camera 100, the above steps are reversed.
