[0039] In the relevant technologies, the range of images captured by monitoring equipment is limited, and the adjustment of the monitoring range is not comprehensive enough.
[0040] In view of this, this application provides a monitoring device 100, please refer to... Figures 1-3The monitoring equipment 100 includes a main frame 10, a camera device 20, a transmission mechanism 30, a locking mechanism 40, and a mounting component 50. The camera device 20 is movably mounted on the main frame 10, and the main frame 10 is rotatably connected to the mounting component 50 to adjust the pitch angle of the camera device 20. The transmission mechanism 30 includes a first transmission component 31 and a second transmission component 32, which are respectively mounted on the main frame 10 and the camera device 20. That is, the first transmission component 31 is mounted on the main frame 10, and the second transmission component 32 is mounted on the camera device 20. The first transmission component 31 can drive the second transmission component 32 to make the camera device 20 move in a straight line. The locking mechanism 40 includes a first locking member 41 and a second locking member 42. The first locking member 41 and the second locking member 42 are respectively disposed on the mounting member 50 and the main frame 10. That is, the first locking member 41 is disposed on the mounting member 50 and the second locking member 42 is disposed on the main frame 10. The first locking member 41 and the second locking member 42 can lock the main frame 10 and the mounting member 50 to fix the tilt angle of the adjusted camera device 20.
[0041] The main frame 10 can be a frame structure composed of rods, or a frame-plate structure composed of rods and plates. The camera device 20 can be located inside the main frame 10, with the side of the main frame 10 facing the camera device 20 to acquire images open, so as not to obstruct the camera device 20 from acquiring images.
[0042] The locking mechanism 40 can be equipped with its own power source, such as a motor, to drive the main frame 10 to rotate relative to the mounting part 50. After the power source stops, the locking mechanism 40 can fix the relative position of the main frame 10 and the mounting part 10. Alternatively, the locking mechanism 40 can be without a power source, and the main frame 10 can be manually rotated relative to the mounting part 50 to adjust its position, after which the locking mechanism 40 fixes the relative position of the main frame 10 and the mounting part 10.
[0043] The monitoring device 100 in this embodiment is rotatably connected to the mounting component 50 via a main frame 10. Rotating the main frame 10 causes the camera device 20 to change its pitch angle to obtain the desired monitoring angle. After adjusting the angle, the angle position of the main frame 10 is locked by the first locking component 41 and the second locking component 42. The second transmission component 32 is driven by the first transmission component 31, and the second transmission component 32 moves the camera device 20 in a straight line, which can expand the lateral adjustment range of the monitoring.
[0044] Mounting component 50 is used to mount the monitoring device 100 onto other objects, such as the interior of a car, for monitoring the status inside the vehicle. Specifically, the monitoring device 100 can be mounted at an end of the vehicle interior, such as at the front end, with the camera 20 facing rearward to acquire images; or it can be mounted at the rear end, with the camera 20 facing forward to acquire images. Mounting component 50 can be a mounting plate or a mounting assembly with a buffer structure.
[0045] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The mounting component 50 is configured as a buffer mechanism. The mounting component 50 includes a top plate 51, a docking plate 52, and an elastic element 53. The elastic element 53 connects the top plate 51 and the docking plate 52. The main frame 10 is rotatably connected to the docking plate 52. A first locking element 41 is disposed on the docking plate 52. The top plate 51 is used to connect to external objects. When external objects vibrate or shake, the elastic element 53 can prevent excessive vibration from damaging the equipment. For example, the elastic element 53 can be set as a spring; when vibration or shaking occurs, the spring is compressed by the docking plate 52 to provide a buffering effect. Specifically, the docking plate 52 also includes a fixed arm and a fixed plate, and the main frame 10 is rotatably connected to the fixed plate via the fixed arm.
[0046] For details, please refer to Figure 3 The mounting component 50 also includes a guide rod 54 and a second limiting plate 55. One end of the guide rod 54 is fixedly connected to the top plate 51, and the other end of the guide rod 54 is movably inserted through the docking plate 52. An elastic element 53 is sleeved on the guide rod 54. The second limiting plate 55 is connected to one end of the guide rod 54 and is located on the side of the docking plate 52 away from the elastic element 53. The guide rod 54 guides the movement direction of the docking plate 52, and the second limiting plate 55 supports the docking plate 52 and limits the downward movement range of the docking plate 52. When bumps or vibrations occur, the docking plate 52 slides upward along the guide rod 54, and the elastic element 53 is compressed to achieve cushioning.
[0047] Please see Figure 3 The mounting component 50 also includes a damping block 56. The damping block 56 is sleeved on the guide rod 54 and located between the docking plate 52 and the second limiting plate 55 to buffer the rebound force when the elastic element 53 is reset.
[0048] In some embodiments, in order to adjust the pitch angle of the camera device 20, please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 2 and Figure 3The main frame 10 includes a frame body 11 and a pivot 12. The pivot 12 is fixedly connected to the frame body 11 and rotatably connected to the mounting component 50. A first locking member 41 is movably mounted on the mounting component 50, for example, the first locking member 41 is movably mounted on the docking plate 52. A second locking member 42 is mounted on the pivot 12 of the main frame 10. In this way, the relative angle between the main frame 10 and the mounting component 50 can be adjusted according to requirements, and after adjustment, the main frame 10 can be fixed back in a certain position by locking the first locking member 41 and the second locking member 42. The camera device 20 on the main frame 10 can then follow the rotation of the main frame 10 to adjust the monitoring range.
[0049] The locking method between the first locking member 41 and the second locking member 42 is not limited, as long as it can lock the main frame 10 and the mounting member 50 together. For example, the second locking member 42 can have multiple holes along the rotation direction of the main frame 10, and the first locking member 41 is inserted into the holes and fixedly connected to the second locking member 42. The angle of the main frame 10 can be adjusted by switching the holes into which the first locking member 41 is inserted, thereby adjusting the monitoring range of the camera device 20.
[0050] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 The locking mechanism 40 also includes a reset member 43, which connects the mounting member 50 and the first locking member 41, and locks the first locking member 41 and the second locking member 42 together. For example, the reset member 43 can be a spring that is compressed between the mounting member 50 and the first locking member 41, and the restoring force of the spring makes the lock between the first locking member 41 and the second locking member 42 more secure.
[0051] For details, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5The first locking member 41 includes a pull rod 411 and a splined plate 412 with splined teeth, the splined plate 412 being fixedly connected to the pull rod 411. The second locking member 42 is a splined shaft with splined teeth. The pull rod 411 of the first locking member 41 is movably inserted through the mounting member 50, for example, the pull rod 411 is movably inserted through the mating plate 52. One end of the reset member 43 is connected to the mounting member 50, and the other end of the reset member 43 is connected to the splined plate 412 of the first locking member 41, so that the splined plate 412 engages with the splined shaft. By using the engagement of the splined plate 412 with the splined shaft, the position of the main frame 10 is locked, thereby fixing the position of the camera device 20, preventing changes in the angle of the main frame 10, and improving the stability of the image acquired by the camera device 20. When the angle of the camera device 20 needs to be adjusted, pull the lever 411 to separate the spline plate 412 from the spline shaft, and unlock the mounting part 50 from the pivot 12 of the main frame 10. In this way, the camera device 20 can rotate relative to the mounting part 50 along with the main frame 10 to adjust the camera range. After adjustment, release the lever 411 to engage the spline plate 412 with the spline shaft, and lock the first locking member 41 and the second locking member 42, thus fixing the relative position between the main frame 10 and the mounting part 50 again.
[0052] For details, please continue reading. Figure 4 and Figure 5 The pull rod 411 includes a pull ring 4111, a first limiting plate 4112, and a rod body 4113. The pull ring 4111 and the rod body 4113 are respectively connected to both sides of the first limiting plate 4112. The spline plate 412 is connected to the rod body 4113, and the rod body 4113 is movably inserted through the mounting member 50. For example, the rod body 4113 is movably inserted through the docking plate 52. The pull ring 4111 is fixed to the first limiting plate 4112. When adjusting the angle of the camera device 20, the pull ring 4111 can be held to separate the spline plate 412 from the spline shaft to release the lock between the main frame 10 and the mounting member 50, thereby adjusting the camera range, which is convenient to operate.
[0053] The transmission mechanism 30 is not limited in its transmission method, as long as it enables the camera device 20 to move linearly along the first transmission member 31 within the main frame 10. For example, the first transmission member 31 can drive the second transmission member 32 to move through gear transmission, chain transmission, lead screw transmission, or belt transmission, so that the camera device 20 moves linearly along the first transmission member 31 within the main frame 10 with the second transmission member 32. The power for the first transmission member 31 can come from manual operation or from a power source, such as an electric motor.
[0054] For details, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 6The transmission mechanism 30 also includes a drive component 33, which is mounted on the main frame 10. The drive component 33 is drivenly connected to the first transmission component 31. For example, the drive component 33 can be a motor, the first transmission component 31 can be a lead screw, and the second transmission component 32 can be a threaded moving block. The drive component 33 is drivenly connected to the lead screw so that the moving block can move along the lead screw. The side of the moving block that contacts the lead screw is threaded, and the lead screw meshes with the moving block, converting the rotational motion of the lead screw into the linear motion of the moving block. In this way, the moving block drives the camera device 20 to move along the lead screw, increasing the monitoring range of the camera device 20.
[0055] For details, please continue reading. Figure 2 and Figure 6 The main frame 10 also has a limiting groove 10a, which can be located on the top or side of the main frame 10. The moving block includes an abutment part 321 and a moving part 322. The moving part 322 is fixedly connected to the camera device 20, and the abutment part 321 can move along the limiting groove 10a. The limiting groove 10a can stop the second transmission member 32, limiting the movement range of the camera device 20 and preventing the camera device 20 from colliding with the frame 11 of the main frame 10 when it moves along the first transmission member 31 with the second transmission member 32. At the same time, the abutment part 321 abuts against the limiting groove 10a, which can make the movement of the moving part 322 and the camera device 20 more stable.
[0056] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 7 The camera device 20 includes a camera 21, a protective cover 22 and a base 23. The protective cover 22 is connected to the base 23, and the camera 21 is mounted on the base 23 and located inside the protective cover 22.
[0057] Dust easily accumulates on the surface of the protective cover 22, interfering with the image information acquired by the camera 21. Therefore, the surface of the protective cover 22 needs to be cleaned. For details, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 2 and Figure 7The monitoring device 100 also includes a cleaning mechanism 60, which includes a toothed ring plate 61, a rack plate 62, and a cleaning brush 63. The rack plate 62 is mounted on the main frame 10, and the cleaning brush 63 is connected to the toothed ring plate 61. The toothed ring plate 61 is rotatably connected to the base 23. Both the toothed ring plate 61 and the rack plate 62 have meshing teeth to engage with each other. When the camera device 20 moves in a straight line, the rack plate 62 drives the toothed ring plate 61 to rotate around the base 23, causing the cleaning brush 63 to move close to the protective cover 22 to clean the protective cover 22 and prevent excessive dust accumulation from preventing the camera 21 from acquiring a complete image. By driving the first driving component 31, the camera device 20 and the cleaning mechanism 60 can be controlled simultaneously. While adjusting the monitoring range of the camera device 20, the surface of the protective cover 22 is cleaned. A separate power source is not required for the cleaning mechanism 60, making the monitoring device compact, reducing manufacturing costs, and saving energy.
[0058] For details, please continue reading. Figure 7 The protective cover 22 is spherical, and the cleaning brush 63 is an arc-shaped strip brush. At least one end of the cleaning brush 63 is connected to the toothed ring plate 61; for example, both ends of the cleaning brush 63 are connected to the toothed ring plate 61. When one end of the cleaning brush 63 is connected to the toothed ring plate 61, the length of the cleaning brush 63 can be half the length of the hemispherical surface of the protective cover 22. Using an arc-shaped strip brush can prevent the camera 21 from being excessively obstructed, thus affecting image acquisition. Furthermore, the arc-shaped strip brush has a high degree of fit with the protective cover 22, resulting in good cleaning performance.
[0059] For details, please continue reading. Figure 7 The cleaning brush 63 includes an arc-shaped plate 631, a brush plate 632, connectors 633, and a fixing cap 634. The brush plate 632 is located between the arc-shaped plate 631 and the protective cover 22, and is in contact with the surface of the protective cover 22. The brush plate 632 covers the entire arc-shaped plate 631, or covers half of the arc-shaped plate 631. Connectors 633 are respectively connected to both ends of the arc-shaped plate 631. The connectors 633 pass through the toothed ring plate 61, and the fixing cap 634 is threadedly connected to the connectors 633. Both ends of the cleaning brush 63 are connected to the toothed ring plate 61 through the connectors 633, and the fixing cap 634 fixes the position of the connectors 633. In this way, the cleaning brush 63 is easy to install and disassemble when it needs to be replaced or cleaned, and the fixing effect is good.
[0060] For details, please continue reading. Figure 7The toothed ring plate 61 has a first annular groove 61a, and the base 23 has a second annular groove 23a. The first annular groove 61a and the second annular groove 23a surround and form an annular cavity. The cleaning mechanism 60 also includes balls 64, which are disposed within the annular cavity. The rolling of the balls 64 within the annular cavity reduces the frictional resistance between the toothed ring plate 61 and the base 23, thereby improving transmission efficiency. Simultaneously, the balls 64 provide support and fixation for the toothed ring plate 61. The number of balls 64 is unlimited.
[0061] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 The main frame 10 also includes a base plate 13, which is rotatably connected to the frame 11. When the cleaning mechanism 60 cleans the camera device 20, the dust that falls will land on the base plate 13. At this time, the base plate 13 can be rotated to clean the dust. At the same time, the base plate 13 can enhance the protection of the camera device 20.
[0062] For details, please continue reading. Figure 2 The main frame 10 also includes a support member 14, which is rotatably connected to the frame 11. At least a portion of the support member 14 can abut against the base plate 13 to lock the base plate 13 to the frame 11. Cleaning and fixing the base plate 13 can be completed by rotating the support member 14 before and after cleaning, which is convenient.
[0063] This application also provides a monitoring system, including any of the monitoring devices described above, to improve the diversity of monitoring functions and meet the diverse needs of monitoring functions.
[0064] Specifically, the monitoring system 200 also includes a recorder 201, which is located on the main frame 10 or inside the camera device 20. For example, please refer to... Figure 7 The recorder 201 is located inside the base 23, and the base 23 has a circular hole for sound to pass through.
