DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0049] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0050] It should be clear that the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in the field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0051] Most existing cameras use electric adjustment, which can only adjust the horizontal shooting angle and the pitch shooting angle, but cannot adjust the horizontal shooting angle, the pitch shooting angle, and the rotation angle around the shooting optical axis. In addition, the electric adjustment cost is high and the adjustment angle is limited. To solve this problem, Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a binocular camera 100, which may include: a body 10, a first camera 20a, and a second camera 20b.

[0052] A first camera mounting position 11a and a second camera mounting position 11b are respectively provided on the first side of the fuselage 10, the first camera 20a is installed at the first camera mounting position 11a, and the second camera 20b is installed at the second camera mounting position 11b. In this embodiment, the first camera 20a can be individually adjusted at the first camera mounting position 11a, and the second camera 20b can be independently moved and individually adjusted at the second camera mounting position 11b, so that under the same shooting environment, the first camera 20a and the second camera 20b can obtain different shooting angles, thereby realizing zoned monitoring of the shooting environment.

[0053] In order to obtain multi-directional shooting angles, in this embodiment, the horizontal shooting angle, the pitch shooting angle, and the rotation angle around the shooting optical axis of the first camera 20a can be manually adjusted; and / or the horizontal shooting angle, the pitch shooting angle, and the rotation angle around the shooting optical axis of the second camera 20b can be manually adjusted. Figure 2As shown, the first camera 20a and the second camera 20b are respectively configured to manually adjust the horizontal shooting angle, which can realize the pan function, so as to facilitate the rotation in the horizontal direction to observe scenes in different directions; the first camera 20a and the second camera 20b are respectively configured to manually adjust the pitch shooting angle, which can realize the tilt function, so as to facilitate the upward or downward rotation to observe scenes at different heights; the first camera 20a and the second camera 20b are respectively configured to manually adjust the rotation angle around the shooting optical axis, which can realize the roll function, so as to facilitate the change of the observation angle or enhance the visual effect. The first camera 20a and the second camera 20b can respectively realize the three-axis rotation freedom through manual adjustment, so that the shooting angle of the binocular camera 100 is more flexible and comprehensive, which is conducive to obtaining a wider monitoring field of view.

[0054] The binocular camera 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a body 10, a first camera 20a, and a second camera 20b; a first camera mounting position 11a and a second camera mounting position 11b are respectively provided on the first side of the body 10; the first camera 20a is installed in the first camera mounting position 11a; the second camera 20b is installed in the second camera mounting position 11b; wherein the horizontal shooting angle, the pitch shooting angle, and the rotation angle around the shooting optical axis of the first camera 20a can be manually adjusted; and / or the horizontal shooting angle, the pitch shooting angle, and the rotation angle around the shooting optical axis of the second camera 20b can be manually adjusted. The binocular camera 100 can realize multi-directional manual adjustment of the shooting angle of view, and shoot the monitoring environment from multiple angles, thereby improving the user experience of the product and reducing the cost of use.

[0055] In order to enable the horizontal shooting angles of the first camera 20a and the second camera 20b to be manually and flexibly adjusted, it is optional, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment of the present application, the first camera installation position 11a and the second camera installation position 11b respectively include a groove 110 located on the first side of the body 10, and a boss 111 extending toward the center position of the groove 110 is provided at the notch of the groove 110, and a track groove 112 is formed between the boss 111 and the bottom of the groove 110; the first camera 20a and the second camera 20b respectively include a body connecting part, the body connecting part has a flange 2001, the end of the body connecting part extends into the groove 110, and the flange 2001 of the body connecting part is clamped in the track groove 112, and the flange 2001 of the body connecting part can rotate horizontally along the track groove 112.

[0056] There may be multiple bosses 111 extending from the notch of the groove 110 toward the center of the groove 110, and the multiple bosses 111 may be arranged along the circumference of the groove 110, so that the flange 2001 of the fuselage connection part can be blocked, so that the flange 2001 of the fuselage connection part is stuck in the track groove 112 and does not fall out. The track groove 112 may be a circular groove, so that the flange 2001 of the fuselage connection part can rotate in the track groove 112. When the groove 110 is arranged in the horizontal direction, the first camera 20a and the second camera 20b equipped with the flange 2001 can rotate horizontally along the track groove 112 under manual adjustment, that is, the first camera 20a and the second camera 20b can rotate around the axis perpendicular to the horizontal plane, respectively, thereby realizing manual adjustment of the horizontal shooting angle. Optionally, as Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment of the present application, the outer wall of the flange 2001 of the body connection part is provided with a horizontal rotation limiting structure 2003, and the groove wall of the groove 110 is provided with a first horizontal rotation stop structure 1101 and a second horizontal rotation stop structure 1102. The flange 2001 of the body connection part is rotated along the track groove 112 to a first horizontal shooting angle, and the horizontal rotation limiting structure 2003 is limited by the first horizontal rotation stop structure 1101. The flange 2001 of the body connection part is rotated along the track groove 112 to a second horizontal shooting angle, and the horizontal rotation limiting structure 2003 is limited by the second horizontal rotation stop structure 1102. In this way, the horizontal shooting angle of the first camera 20a or the second camera 20b can be limited during manual adjustment to avoid over-travel adjustment and improve the safety of the binocular camera 100.

[0057] After the horizontal shooting angles of the first camera 20a and the second camera 20b are adjusted respectively, if the adjusted horizontal shooting angles are not locked, they may be disturbed or moved due to the influence of the environment. For example, the binocular camera 100 installed in a vibrating working environment or a strong wind working environment may be affected by vibration or wind, causing the adjusted horizontal shooting angle to change. Therefore, it is optional, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment of the present application, the first camera mounting position 11a and the second camera mounting position 11b are respectively provided with a locking member support 113, and a locking member 114 is connected to the locking member support 113. The locking action end of the locking member 114 extends into the groove 110 and can be pressed against the flange 2001 of the fuselage connection part.

[0058] like Figure 3As shown, the locking end of the locking member 114 extends into the first groove 110, which can form a block for the flange 2001 of the fuselage connection part. Therefore, in order to simplify the component structure, reduce the processing difficulty and production cost, the locking end of the locking member 114 can form a blocking structure for the flange 2001 together with the boss 111. For example, the number of bosses 111 can be configured to be two, and the two bosses 111 and the locking end of the locking member 114 are arranged circumferentially along the groove 110, which can form a safe and reliable limit blocking for the flange 2001 stuck in the track groove 112; further, the locking end of the locking member 114 can be pressed against the flange 2001 of the fuselage connection part. For example, when the locking member 114 adopts an elastic structure, the first camera 20a or the second camera 20b After the adjustment of the horizontal shooting angle is completed, a force can be applied to the locking member 114 so that the locking action end is elastically pressed against the flange 2001 of the fuselage connection part. Under the action of pressure, the rotational friction between the flange 2001 of the fuselage connection part and the track groove 112 increases, so that external factors are unlikely to cause the flange 2001 of the fuselage connection part to rotate relative to the track groove 112, thereby forming a lock between the flange 2001 of the fuselage connection part and the track groove 112, that is, forming a locking effect on the horizontal shooting angle; when the horizontal shooting angle needs to be manually adjusted again, the force applied to the locking member 114 can be cancelled, so that the pressure between the flange 2001 of the fuselage connection part and the track groove 112 is reduced, and the rotational friction is reduced, so that it can be manually rotated for adjustment.

[0059] When the binocular camera 100 is in use, it may be necessary to frequently adjust or lock the horizontal shooting angles of the first camera 20a and the second camera 20b. If the locking member support 113 and the locking member 114 are not designed properly and the adjustment is inconvenient, the user experience will inevitably be affected. Therefore, optionally, in one embodiment of the present application, Figure 7 As shown, the locking member support 113 has a ridge-shaped protrusion 1130, and both sides of the ridge-shaped protrusion 1130 are slopes, and a screw hole 1131 is provided on the slope away from the groove 110; Figure 8 As shown, the locking member 114 includes a base 1140, a middle portion 1141 connected to the base 1140 and bent relative to the base 1140, and an abutting portion 1142 connected to the middle portion 1141 and bent relative to the middle portion 1141; a through hole 1143 is opened on the base 1140; the base 1140 is fitted with the slope of one side of the ridge-like protrusion 1130, the through hole 1143 on the base 1140 corresponds to the screw hole 1131 on the slope of one side of the ridge-like protrusion 1130, and the screw 115 is penetrated through the through hole 1143 and the screw hole 1131 on the base 1140; the middle portion 1141 corresponds to the slope on the other side of the ridge-like protrusion 1130; the abutting portion 1142 extends into the groove 110 and can be pressed against the flange 2001 of the fuselage connecting portion.

[0060] like Fig. 9 As shown, since the locking member support 113 of this embodiment has a ridge-shaped protrusion 1130, the ridge-shaped protrusion 1130 is a sloped surface on the side away from the groove 110, so that it is convenient to tighten or loosen the screw 115 provided in the screw hole 1131 on the slope. The locking member 114 can be made of sheet metal to have appropriate elasticity. Since the base 1140 of the locking member 114 fits with the sloped surface of the locking member support 113 on the side away from the groove 110, as shown in FIG. Fig.10 As shown, the screw 115 is passed through the base 1140 of the locking member 114 and the screw hole 1131 of the locking member support 113. When the screw 115 is tightened, the locking member 114 can be extended into the abutting portion 1142 in the groove 110, and move toward the flange 2001 close to the fuselage connection part, and can be pressed against the flange 2001 of the fuselage connection part, thereby increasing the pressure and rotational friction between the flange 2001 of the fuselage connection part and the track groove 112, thereby forming a flange 2001 of the fuselage connection part and the track groove 112. When the screw 115 is loosened, the locking member 114 can be extended into the abutment portion 1142 in the groove 110 and move in the direction away from the flange 2001 of the body connection portion, thereby reducing or eliminating the pressure and rotational friction between the flange 2001 of the body connection portion and the track groove 112, so that the flange 2001 of the body connection portion and the track groove 112 can be manually rotated and adjusted, thereby realizing the adjustment of the horizontal shooting angle of the first camera 20a or the second camera 20b.

[0061] Since the locking member 114 needs to be adjusted frequently, in order to prevent the locking member 114 from shifting or moving during the adjustment process, optionally, in one embodiment of the present application, Figure 7As shown, the locking member support 113 has a first guard plate 1132 and a second guard plate 1133, the ridge-like protrusion 1130 and the slopes on both sides of the ridge-like protrusion 1130 are located between the first guard plate 1132 and the second guard plate 1133, and the first guard plate 1132 and the second guard plate 1133 are higher than the ridge-like protrusion 1130 and the slopes on both sides of the ridge-like protrusion 1130; the first guard plate 1132, the second guard plate 1133, and the slopes on both sides of the ridge-like protrusion 1130 form a limiting groove 1134; the locking member 114 is embedded in the limiting groove 1134. Due to the restraining effect of the first guard plate 1132 and the second guard plate 1133, the locking member 114 is restricted in the limiting groove 1134, which can ensure that the locking member 114 moves toward the flange 2001 close to the fuselage connection part when tightening the screw 115, or moves toward the flange 2001 away from the fuselage connection part when loosening the screw 115, thereby avoiding unexpected rotational displacement of the locking member 114 relative to the screw hole 1131, affecting the locking function between the flange 2001 of the fuselage connection part and the track groove 112, or affecting the blocking and limiting function of the flange 2001 of the fuselage connection part stuck in the track groove 112, thereby improving the working reliability of the locking member 114.

[0062] In order to enable the pitch shooting angles of the first camera 20a and the second camera 20b to be manually flexibly adjusted and locked, optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, Figure 2 As shown, the first camera 20a and the second camera 20b respectively include: a connecting frame 200, a line pressure plate 201, an intermediate connecting member 202, and a camera assembly 203. The first end of the connecting frame 200 forms a fuselage connecting portion, and a connecting hole 2002 is provided on the connecting frame 200; the output line pressure plate 201 is provided on the connecting frame 200 and can move relative to the connecting frame 200; the end face of the first end of the output line pressure plate 201 is higher than the end face of the first end of the connecting frame 200, and the end face of the first end of the output line pressure plate 201 abuts against the bottom of the groove 110; the intermediate connecting member 202 is provided with a connecting shaft 2020, the connecting shaft 2020 is passed through the connecting hole 2002, and the intermediate connecting member 202 can abut against the second end of the output line pressure plate 201; the camera assembly 203 is connected to the intermediate connecting member 202, and the camera assembly 203 can, together with the intermediate connecting member 202, perform pitch rotation relative to the connecting frame 200 around the axis of the connecting shaft 2020.

[0063] In this embodiment, Fig.11 As shown, by providing a connection hole 2002 on the connection frame 200, providing a connection shaft 2020 on the intermediate connection member 202, and the connection shaft 2020 is passed through the connection hole 2002 and is rotatably connected by bolts and other components, so that the intermediate connection member 202 can rotate around the axis of the connection shaft 2020 relative to the connection frame 200. Fig.12As shown in FIG. 2 , when the camera assembly 203 is mounted on the intermediate connecting member 202, the pitch motion of the camera assembly 203 relative to the connecting frame 200 is realized. Figure 2 As shown, the connecting frame 200 may include a conch-shaped outer cover 200a and a conch-shaped inner cover 200b, and the inner cover 200b is provided with connecting holes 2002 on both sides, and the inner cover 200b may be arranged in the housing cavity of the outer cover 200a, so that the outer cover 200a forms a protection for the inner cover 200b. The intermediate connecting member 202 may be a hemispherical or bowl-shaped housing, and the intermediate connecting member 202 is provided with connecting shafts 2020 on both sides, and the connecting shafts 2020 on both sides of the intermediate connecting member 202 are rotatably connected to the connecting holes 2002 on both sides of the inner cover 200b. The camera assembly 203 may include a front hemispherical shell 203a, a lower hemispherical shell 203b, a lens assembly 203c, and a fill light module 203d, wherein the front hemispherical shell 203a and the lower hemispherical shell 203b may form a chamber, and the lens assembly 203c and the fill light module 203d may be arranged in the chamber to be better protected.

[0064] like Fig.13 , Fig.14 As shown, the line pressure plate 201 is convenient for arranging cables and forming a protection for the camera installation position. In addition, in order to realize the locking function of the pitch shooting angle, in this embodiment, the line pressure plate 201 is configured to be movable relative to the connecting frame 200, and the end surface of the first end of the line pressure plate 201 is higher than the end surface of the first end of the connecting frame 200 and abuts against the bottom of the groove 110. In this way, when the screw 115 is tightened, the locking member 114 moves toward the flange 2001 close to the fuselage connecting portion, so that the flange 2001 of the fuselage connecting portion is squeezed and leans against the groove 110 of the fuselage 10, that is, the first end of the connecting frame 200 leans against the groove 110 of the fuselage 10. Since the end surface of the first end of the line pressure plate 201 is higher than the end surface of the first end of the connecting frame 200 and abuts against the bottom of the groove 110, the line pressure plate 201 moves relative to the connecting frame 200. Fig.15 As shown, the second end of the line pressure plate 201 can abut against the intermediate connector 202, that is, abut against the intermediate connector 202, thereby generating pressure between the second end of the line pressure plate 201 and the intermediate connector 202, increasing the rotational friction of the intermediate connector 202 relative to the connecting frame 200, and forming a locking function for the pitch shooting angle between the intermediate connector 202 and the connecting frame 200; when the pitch shooting angle needs to be manually adjusted again, the screw 115 can be loosened, and the locking member 114 can be moved in the direction of the flange 2001 away from the fuselage connection part, so that the pressure between the second end of the line pressure plate 201 and the intermediate connector 202 is reduced, and the rotational friction is reduced, so that the pitch shooting angle between the intermediate connector 202 and the connecting frame 200 can be manually rotated and adjusted. Optionally, in one embodiment of the present application, as Fig.16 As shown, the connecting frame 200 is provided with a first pitch rotation stop structure 2004 and a second pitch rotation stop structure 2005, the intermediate connecting member 202 is provided with a pitch rotation limiting structure 2023, the intermediate connecting member 202 is rotated to a first pitch shooting angle relative to the connecting frame 200, and the pitch rotation limiting structure 2023 is limited by the first pitch rotation stop structure 2004, the intermediate connecting member 202 is rotated to a second pitch shooting angle relative to the connecting frame 200, and the pitch rotation limiting structure 2023 is limited by the second pitch rotation stop structure 2005. Specifically, the first pitch rotation stop structure 2004 and the second pitch rotation stop structure 2005 can be adaptively designed according to the shape structure of the connecting frame 200, and the pitch rotation limiting structure 2023 can also be adaptively designed according to the shape structure of the intermediate connecting member 202, so that the connecting frame 200 and the intermediate connecting member 202 form a rotation limit by their respective structural shapes during the relative rotation process, thereby limiting the pitch shooting angle of the first camera 20a or the second camera 20b when manually adjusted, avoiding over-travel adjustment, and improving the safety of using the binocular camera 100.

[0065] In order to enable the rotation angle of the first camera 20a and the second camera 20b around the shooting optical axis to be manually and flexibly adjusted, optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, as Fig.17 As shown, the intermediate connecting member 202 is a bowl-shaped cover body, a hook 2021 is provided in the cover body near the bottom of the cover body, and a cantilever boss 2022 is provided at the bottom of the cover body; Fig.18 As shown, the first end of the camera assembly 203 has a connecting column 2030, the end of the connecting column 2030 has a flange 2031, and a toothed structure 2032 is provided on the end face of the connecting column 2030; the flange 2031 at the end of the connecting column 2030 is engaged with the hook 2021, and the cantilever boss 2022 at the bottom of the cover body presses against the toothed structure 2032 on the end face of the connecting column 2030, and the camera assembly 203 can rotate relative to the cover body around its own optical axis. Multiple hooks 2021 can be arranged along the circumference of the inner wall of the cover body, and the intermediate connector 202 and the camera assembly 203 are rotatably connected by the engagement of the hooks 2021 and the flanges 2031; in addition, as shown Fig.19 As shown, the toothed structure 2032 provided on the end face of the connecting column 2030 of the camera assembly 203 can be pressed against the cantilever boss 2022 at the bottom of the cover body, and through installation and matching, an extrusion effect can be generated between the toothed structure 2032 and the cantilever boss 2022, so that the toothed structure 2032 has friction damping during the rotation process relative to the cantilever boss 2022, thereby preventing the camera assembly 203 from rotating too loosely relative to the cover body.

[0066] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present application, Fig.17As shown, an annular groove 2024 is provided on the inner wall of the cover along the circumference of the cover; a convex rib 2033 is provided on the side of the camera assembly 203, and the convex rib 2033 is embedded in the annular groove 2024. The annular groove 2024 is provided on the circumference of the cover, and cooperates with the convex rib 2033 on the side of the camera assembly 203 to support the relative rotation between the camera assembly 203 and the cover, so that the path of the camera assembly 203 during rotation is stable, and it can stably and reliably rotate around the shooting optical axis. Optionally, in one embodiment of the present application, as Fig. 20 As shown, a rotation stop structure 2025 is provided on the inner wall of the cover body, and a rotation limiting structure 2034 is provided on the side of the camera assembly 203. The rotation limiting structure 2034 of the camera assembly 203 is rotated relative to the cover body to be limited at the rotation stop structure 2025. In this way, the rotation angle of the first camera 20a or the second camera 20b around the shooting optical axis can be limited during manual adjustment to avoid over-travel adjustment, thereby improving the safety of the binocular camera 100.

[0067] The binocular camera 100 is often equipped with a speaker assembly 30 to issue a prompt sound to the monitoring environment. In order to reduce the cost of the speaker assembly 30, optionally, in one embodiment of the present application, Fig.21 As shown, a speaker assembly 30 is also provided on the first side of the fuselage 10. The speaker assembly 30 is located between the first camera mounting position 11a and the second camera mounting position 11b. The speaker assembly 30 is arranged to form a cavity structure with an opening. The speaker assembly 30 is connected to the first side of the fuselage 10, and the opening faces the first side of the fuselage 10. The cavity structure of the speaker assembly 30 of this embodiment has an opening, so that the opening can be directed toward the first side of the fuselage 10. The first side of the fuselage 10 forms a rear cavity wall of the speaker 33, which not only makes the speaker assembly 30 have a larger sound cavity and improves the sound effect of the speaker assembly 30, but also simplifies the structural composition of the speaker assembly 30 to reduce production costs. For example, the speaker assembly 30 can be configured to be composed of a U-shaped cover 31, two side panels and a speaker 33, as shown in FIG. Fig.21 As shown, a speaker 33 is installed in the U-shaped cover 31, and two side panels, namely a first side panel 32a and a second side panel 32b, are respectively connected to the side of the U-shaped cover 31 to form a cavity structure with an open opening, such as Fig. 22 As shown, the speaker assembly 30 is fixedly connected to the first side of the body 10 in a manner that the U-shaped opening faces the first side of the body 10 .

[0068] Since the binocular camera 100 is often equipped with a mainboard component, etc., it is necessary to ensure the sealing safety of the mainboard component, etc. Therefore, optionally, in one embodiment of the present application, Figure 1 As shown, the upper cover 40 is also included. The upper cover 40 is connected to the second side of the fuselage 10, and the upper cover 40 and the fuselage 10 are enclosed to form a receiving cavity. Fig.23As shown, the first side of the body 10 is also provided with an airtight hole 12 connected to the accommodating cavity, and the opening of the airtight hole 12 is provided with an accommodating groove 13. The mainboard assembly and the like can be arranged in the accommodating cavity, and the body 10 and the upper cover 40 can be connected in a sealed manner to ensure the sealing performance of the connection portion between the two, and the airtightness of the accommodating cavity can be tested through the airtight hole 12. After the airtightness test is completed, the glue dispensing operation can be performed in the accommodating groove 13 at the opening of the airtight hole 12, so that the glass glue 130 is melted in the accommodating groove 13, thereby sealing the airtight hole 12. Compared with the traditional method of sealing the airtight hole 12 with a bolt component, the solution of this embodiment is easy to operate, has lower cost, and has a better sealing effect.

[0069] When the binocular camera 100 is used, it needs to be installed in different installation methods, such as hanging, seat or wall mounting. In order to improve the versatility of the binocular camera 100, optionally, in one embodiment of the present application, Fig.24 As shown, it also includes an adapter bracket 50 and an adapter part decoration 60. A first bracket adapter part is provided on the first side of the fuselage 10, and a second bracket adapter part is provided on the upper cover 40 on the side away from the fuselage 10, wherein the adapter bracket 50 is provided with a first clamping structure for detachably connecting with the first bracket adapter part, and a second clamping structure for detachably connecting with the second bracket adapter part, the adapter part decoration 60 is detachably connected to the first bracket adapter part and / or the second bracket adapter part, and the first camera mounting position 11a and the second camera mounting position 11b are respectively arranged on both sides of the first bracket adapter part. In this way, the adapter bracket 50 can be connected to the first bracket adapter part or the second bracket adapter part according to the actual situation of the monitoring environment. For example, when the adapter bracket 50 is connected to the first bracket adapter part through the first clamping structure, the adapter part decoration 60 is installed on the second bracket adapter part, or when the adapter bracket 50 is connected to the second bracket adapter part through the second clamping structure, the adapter part decoration 60 can be installed on the first bracket adapter part. Since the positions of the first bracket adapter part and the second bracket adapter part on the binocular camera 100 are different, and the adapter bracket 50 can be installed on the first bracket adapter part or the second bracket adapter part in different positions, the binocular camera 100 can be installed in a variety of ways, such as Fig.25 The lifting method shown, Fig.26 The seat installation method shown, Fig. 27 The wall mounting method shown can adapt to different installation requirements and improve the versatility of product assembly and use. In addition, the adapter decoration 60 can decorate the first bracket adapter or the second bracket adapter in the standby state to improve the aesthetics of the product. It can be understood that compared with traditional methods such as adding mounting brackets on site in the monitoring environment, the binocular camera 100 of this embodiment has better assembly versatility, thereby further reducing the use cost of the binocular camera 100.
