Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of pan / tilt installation, and specifically relates to a pan / tilt assembly, and in particular to a pan / tilt assembly that is convenient for long-distance replacement operation. Background Art
[0002] The PTZ is generally a general term for a surveillance camera and its mounting base (or mounting bracket). The surveillance camera can be rotated at will for easy use by the user. In general application scenarios, the surveillance camera is mounted on the mounting base with a number of screws, and the power cord of the PTZ is connected with an aviation plug and then plugged into the network cable plug for use.
[0003] Traditional PTZ installations are based on the idea that the PTZ has a long service life, so the mounting base is generally fixed on other load-bearing brackets; if the surveillance camera or the entire PTZ needs to be replaced, the operator needs to do it manually, and the replacement operation is cumbersome and inefficient.
[0004] Equipment working in extreme environments (high temperature, toxic or radiation, etc.) is usually unmanned during operation, and the internal status can only be understood through the observation window and the PTZ surveillance camera installed inside. The observation window has a large visual blind spot, and within the blind spot range, only the PTZ surveillance camera installed inside can be used for observation. However, due to the harshness of the internal working space environment, the service life of the PTZ surveillance camera is greatly reduced, and it needs to be replaced frequently and regularly. If a traditional PTZ is used, an operator must enter the room to operate, and a remote replacement operation cannot be achieved, which poses a great personal safety hazard.

The middle section of the rotating shaft 21 is placed in the outer shell 10 and its two ends respectively extend out of the outer shell 10 and can rotate freely relative to the outer shell 10. The two ends of the rotating shaft 21 are respectively connected to the two vertical rod ends of the inverted "U"-shaped handle 9, and the two turntables 18 are placed in the outer shell 10 and are respectively sleeved on the rotating shaft 21 near the two ends through their own center through holes. One end of the two connecting rods 19 is respectively rotatably connected to the two turntables 18, and the other end of the two connecting rods 19 is respectively rotatably connected to one end of the two sliders 16. A vertically penetrating slider through hole 20 is provided on the slider 16 near the other end, and two locking pins 22 are respectively placed in the slider through holes 20 of the two sliders 16. When the mobile electrical interface 15 is docked with the fixed electrical interface 3, the locking pin 22 is simultaneously placed in the corresponding slider through hole 20 and the boss hole 5.
[0022] like Figure 1-Figure 6As shown, the present invention also discloses the following more optimized specific structures:
[0023] In order to prevent the locking pin 22 from falling from the slider through hole 20 and enable the locking pin 22 to have the function of adaptively lifting and sliding into the boss hole 5, the upper section of the slider through hole 20 has a larger aperture than the lower section, and the upper end of the locking pin 22 is provided with a pin cap with a larger outer diameter, and the pin cap is placed in the upper section of the slider through hole 20 and its outer diameter is larger than the lower section of the slider through hole 20. The upper surface of the fixed boss 4 close to its suspended end is a boss slope 6, and the boss hole 5 is located between the boss slope 6 and the fixed docking seat 2 and close to the boss slope 6. The angle between the boss slope 6 and the horizontal direction is 5°-40°, and the suspended end of the boss slope 6 is lower than the end close to the boss hole 5.
[0024] In order to facilitate the limiting of the pan-tilt mounting seat 13 and the fixed platform 1 during the installation process, a boss 11 protruding in the lateral peripheral direction is provided on the upper part of the pan-tilt mounting seat 13, and the outer shell 10 is installed on the boss 11. A vertically through "U"-shaped opening groove 7 is provided on the end of the fixed platform 1 close to the fixed docking seat 2. The widest opening width of the "U"-shaped opening groove 7 is larger than the outer diameter of the pan-tilt mounting seat 13 and smaller than the outer diameter of the boss 11.
[0025] In order to facilitate more reliable positioning of the pan-tilt mounting seat 13 and the fixed platform 1 after assembly is completed, the two side walls of the "U"-shaped opening groove 7 are respectively provided with protruding blocks 8, and the two side outer walls of the pan-tilt mounting seat 13 are respectively provided with card slots 12. When the mobile electrical interface 15 and the fixed electrical interface 3 are docked into place, the two card blocks 8 are respectively placed in the two card slots 12.
[0026] In order to facilitate more reliable grasping of the inverted "U"-shaped handle 9 by a sling or a manipulator, an annular groove is provided in the middle of the crossbar of the inverted "U"-shaped handle 9.
[0027] like Figure 1-Figure 6As shown, during assembly, the operator can remotely control it, connect it with the cross bar of the inverted "U" shaped handle 9 through a hook or a mechanical arm clamp, and lift the pan / tilt mounting seat 13, the pan / tilt monitoring camera 14 and the mobile docking assembly as a whole and move them into the "U" shaped opening groove 7, so that the boss 11 is placed above the fixed platform 1, and then drive the mobile docking assembly to push horizontally in the direction close to the fixed electrical interface 3. In this process, under the action of the boss inclined surface 6, the locking pin 22 will adaptively move upward. When the locking pin 22 is located directly above the boss hole 5, the locking pin 22 will fall into the boss hole 5 under its own weight. At this time, the locking pin 22 is simultaneously placed in the corresponding slider through hole 20 and the boss hole 5, so that the slider 16 is in a horizontal positioning state with the fixed boss. At this time, the mobile electrical interface 15 has not yet been docked with the fixed electrical interface 3; then control the inverted "U" shaped handle 9 to rotate in the direction away from the fixed platform 1, and through the rotation The shaft 21 drives the turntable 18 to rotate, and then drives the slider 16 to move laterally away from the fixed platform 1 through the connecting rod 19. Because the fixed platform 1, the fixed docking seat 2 and the fixed boss 4 are all immovable, under the action of the reaction force, the shaft 21, the turntable 18, the housing 10, the mobile electrical interface 15, the pan-tilt mounting seat 13 and the pan-tilt monitoring camera 14 move laterally as a whole towards the fixed platform 1 until the mobile electrical interface 15 is docked with the fixed electrical interface 3. At this time, the inverted "U"-shaped handle 9 is in a horizontal position (this function can be easily achieved through conventional mechanical design cooperation), and maintains a stable locked state under the action of the deadweight of the inverted "U"-shaped handle 9. At the same time, the two card blocks 8 are respectively placed in the two card slots 12, so as to realize the high-reliability positioning function of the pan-tilt mounting seat 13, the pan-tilt monitoring camera 14 and the mobile docking assembly as a whole relative to the fixed platform 1, thereby completing the assembly of the entire pan-tilt assembly.
[0028] During disassembly, it is only necessary to use a hook or a mechanical arm clamp to rotate the inverted "U"-shaped handle 9 in the opposite direction and lift it up, so as to separate the mobile docking assembly from the fixed platform 1, that is, to disassemble the pan-tilt monitoring camera 14. The specific process will not be repeated here.
[0029] Through the above operations, the rapid replacement operation of the PTZ surveillance camera 14 is finally realized. The entire process can be performed by the operator remotely outdoors, protecting the personal safety of the operator. In addition, the replacement operation efficiency is high, reducing maintenance costs.
[0030] The above embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not limitations of the technical solutions of the present invention. Any technical solution that can be implemented on the basis of the above embodiments without creative work should be deemed to fall within the scope of protection of the patent of the present invention.
