Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a camera device. Background Art

[0026] In one embodiment, the second housing has a shaft hole for the output shaft to pass through;

[0027] The brake disc assembly comprises a bushing sleeved on the outside of the first rod portion, and the bushing is clamped between the first rod portion and the shaft hole;

[0059] Example embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0060] In order to solve the problems in the prior art, the present invention provides a camera device, which provides a braking module in the rotating part, which can fix the relative position between the rotating part and the stationary part when the rotating part stops rotating, thereby avoiding position deviation of the rotating part caused by gear transmission tooth gap.

[0061] Figure 2 It is a schematic structural diagram of the camera device of the present invention. Figure 3a and Figure 3b Schematic diagram of the state of the brake module of the camera device of the present invention. Figure 2 and Figure 3a As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a camera device, comprising:

[0062] A first housing 10, the first housing 10 defines a first axis L1 extending in a longitudinal direction;

[0063] The second lens module 20 is hung on the side wall of the first housing 10, and is driven by the first driving motor 30 to pitch and rotate around a second axis L2 extending in the horizontal direction, wherein the second housing 21 of the second lens module 20 is mounted on a support seat 11 protruding from the side wall of the first housing 10 through a rotating pair 22, and the first driving assembly 30 is mounted in the second housing 21;

[0064] Braking module 40, the braking module 40 comprises:

[0065] A second drive motor 41, the second drive motor 41 is installed in the second housing 21, and an output shaft 41a of the second drive motor 41 passes through the second housing 21 along a direction parallel to the second axis L2; ​​and

[0066] A brake disc assembly 42, the brake disc assembly 42 is mounted at the end of the output shaft 41a, so as to reciprocate along the direction of the second axis L2 under the drive of the output shaft 41a;

[0067] The second housing 21 and the support seat 11 form a gap spaced along the second axis L2, and the brake disc assembly 42 is located in the gap;

[0068] In response to the braking command and / or the stop signal of the first motor 30 , the braking module 40 is configured to: drive the brake disc assembly 42 to fit in contact with the support seat 11 along the second axis L2 direction, so that the second lens module 20 and the first shell 10 are relatively stationary.

[0069] In this embodiment, the camera device can be implemented as a ball camera with a ring-moving gun, wherein the first housing 10 is implemented as a main body part for carrying the ball camera and the gun, which is fixed to a carrier and is generally defined as a fixing member. The second lens module 20 is implemented as a gun mounted on the first housing 10, which can be pitched and rotated relative to the first housing 10. Furthermore, the first housing 10 can also carry a ball camera fixed relative to the first housing 10.

[0070] The second lens module 20 is driven by the first drive assembly 30, and is supported by the rotating pair 22 to pitch and rotate around the second axis L2. The transmission between the first drive assembly 30 and the rotating pair 22 adopts gear transmission. When the first drive assembly 30 stops so that the second lens assembly 20 stays at a certain angle, the gear gap may cause the second lens assembly 20 to shake at the stop position by an interval equal to the gear gap. Although the absolute value of the gear gap is small, under the weighting of parameters such as lens magnification and shooting distance, it may cause the position deviation of the second lens assembly 20 to be very large during actual imaging.

[0071] To address this problem, the present embodiment provides a brake module 40 for the second lens module 20, which is used to fix the relative position of the rotatable part (the second lens module 20) with respect to the fixed part (the first housing 10), so that when the first driving assembly 30 stops, the second lens module 20 and the first housing 10 are relatively stationary, thereby eliminating the shaking of the second lens assembly 20 at the rest position caused by the gear clearance.

[0072] The position of the brake module 40 deviates from the position of the rotating pair 22 so that a larger braking torque can be applied to the first shell 10 with a smaller braking force, which is beneficial to fix the position of the second lens module 20 and reduce the volume occupied by the brake module 40.

[0073] In this embodiment, the brake module 40 includes a second drive motor 41 and a brake disc assembly 42 driven by the second drive motor 41, wherein the brake disc assembly 42 moves linearly along the direction of the second axis L2 to Figure 3a As shown, when in contact with the support seat 11, it is connected between the second shell 21 and the support seat 11, so that the second shell 21 and the first shell 10 are relatively stationary, so as to achieve the purpose of making the second lens module 20 and the first shell 10 relatively stationary.

[0074] In this embodiment, although the brake disc assembly 42 moves linearly along the direction of the second axis L2 driven by the output shaft 41a of the second drive motor 41, the second drive motor 41 is not limited to a linear motor, and the output shaft 41a is not limited to moving linearly along the direction of the second axis L2. The second drive motor 41 can be selected as a linear motor or a rotary motor, and the movement mode of the brake disc assembly 42 can be limited by the connection structure between the brake disc assembly 42 and the output shaft 41a.

[0075] As described above, the brake disc assembly 42 moves linearly along the direction of the second axis L2 to Figure 3a When the second housing 21 is in contact with the support seat 11, the second housing 21 is connected between the second housing 21 and the support seat 11, so that the second housing 21 and the first housing 10 are relatively stationary, so as to achieve the purpose of making the second lens module 20 and the first housing 10 relatively stationary. Figure 3b As shown, when the contact with the support base 11 is lost, the positional relationship in which the second shell 21 and the support base 11 are connected as one body is released, thereby releasing the lock of the second lens module 20 and the first shell 10, so that the second lens module 20 is in a state in which it can pitch and rotate relative to the first shell 10 under the drive of the first drive motor 30.

[0076] Among them, the brake module 40 in this embodiment is used to eliminate the error caused by the backlash when the transmission structure is in a stationary state. Therefore, the first drive motor 31 and the second drive motor 41 do not work at the same time. The start of the second drive motor 41 can respond to the stop signal of the first drive motor 31 or the brake command issued by the user or the controller. When the second drive motor 41 starts in response to the brake command, the first drive motor 31 must be in a stopped state. The start of the first drive motor 31 can also respond to the stop signal of the second drive motor 41 or the start command issued by the user or the controller. When the first drive motor 31 starts in response to the start command, the second drive motor 41 must be in a stopped state.

[0077] Specifically, Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the second housing 21 includes a first side wall 21a and a second side wall 21b that are oppositely arranged, the first side wall 21a is rotatably connected to the support seat 11 through a first rotation pair 22a, and the second side wall 21b is rotatably connected to the support seat 11 through a second rotation pair 22b, and the first rotation pair 22a and the second rotation pair 22b define a second axis L2;

[0078] The first driving motor 30 is adjacent to the first side wall 21a, so as to drive the second lens module 20 to pitch and rotate around the second axis L2 through the first rotating pair 22a;

[0079] The second driving motor 41 is adjacent to the second side wall 21 b , and an output shaft 41 a of the second driving motor 41 passes through the second side wall 21 b .

[0080] In this example, the first drive motor 30 for driving the pitch rotation of the first shell 21 relative to the first shell 10 is selectively connected to one rotating pair 22, such as the first rotating pair 22a located on the first side wall 21a, and the brake module 40 for fixing the position of the first shell 21 relative to the first shell 10 is arranged at another rotating pair 22, such as the second rotating pair 22b located on the second side wall 21b, so as to brake the first shell 21 from the side of the second side wall 21b.

[0081] The height of the first driving motor 30 is higher than the second axis L2 , and the height of the second driving motor 41 is lower than the second axis L2 .

[0082] Specifically, the second lens module 20 includes:

[0083] The lens 24 is installed in the second housing 21 and takes pictures through the front surface of the second housing 21. In the longitudinal direction, the height of the lens 24 is higher than the second axis L2;

[0084] The radar module 25 is installed in the second shell 21 and is photographed through the front surface of the second shell 21. In the longitudinal direction, the height of the radar module 25 is lower than the second axis L2.

[0085] Preferably, the second lens module 20 includes:

[0086] The support plate 23 is connected between the first side wall 21 a and the second side wall 21 b from the outside of the second shell 21 to balance the second shell 21 .

[0087] Since the first drive motor 31 and the second drive motor 41 both drive the structure disposed on one of the side walls of the second housing 21, in order to increase the stability of the single-sided force, the present embodiment provides a support plate 23, wherein the support plate 23 is formed as a structure connected between the first side wall 21a and the second side wall 21b to form a force transmission structure between the first side wall 21a and the second side wall 21b. Preferably, the support plate 23 is formed outside the second housing 21 and can be located at the bottom of the second housing 21 to support and protect the second housing 21.

[0088] like Figure 4 As shown, the brake disc assembly 42 includes:

[0089] A push rod 421, which is mounted on the end of the output shaft 41a; and

[0090] A brake disc 422, the brake disc 422 is connected to the support seat 11 as a whole;

[0091] The push rod 421 includes:

[0092] A first rod portion 4211, which is mounted on the end of the output shaft 41a and passes through the second housing 21;

[0093] The second rod portion 4212 extends radially outward from the end of the first rod portion 4211 . The second rod portion 4212 is used to fit in contact with the brake disc 422 so that the second lens module 20 and the first housing 10 are relatively stationary.

[0094] In this embodiment, the first rod portion 4211 and the output shaft 41a both penetrate the second housing 21, specifically, the second side wall 21b of the second housing 21. The first rod portion 4211 and the second housing 21 are in a relatively movable positional relationship. Based on the use environment of the camera device of this embodiment, a dynamic seal sealing structure needs to be provided at the position of the first rod portion 4211.

[0095] In one embodiment, the second housing 21 has a shaft hole 23 for the output shaft 41a and the first rod portion 4211 to pass through;

[0096] The brake disc assembly 42 includes a bushing 423 sleeved on the outside of the first rod portion 4211, and the bushing 423 is clamped between the first rod portion 4211 and the shaft hole 23;

[0097] The diameter of the shaft hole 23 is greater than the diameter of the first rod portion 4211 , and the bushing 423 is interference fit with the shaft hole 23 .

[0098] In this embodiment, the bushing 423 and the shaft hole 23 are relatively fixed by interference fit, and the first rod portion 4211 is movable relative to the bushing 423 , that is, there is a gap between the outer surface of the first rod portion 4211 and the inner surface of the bushing 423 .

[0099] One end of the bushing 423 forms a step portion 4231 extending radially outward to limit the bushing 423 axially to the outer surface of the second housing 21. The step portion 4231 fits the outer surface of the second housing 21, thereby forming a seal between the second housing 21 and the bushing 423.

[0100] Further, the brake disc assembly 42 includes:

[0101] The first sealing ring 424 is sleeved on the outside of the first rod portion 4211 and is limited between the step portion 4231 and the second rod portion 4212 to seal the shaft hole 23 .

[0102] Depend on Figure 5 It can be seen that the first sealing ring 424 is sealed between the step portion 4231 and the second rod portion 4212 from the outside of the second shell 21, and is always sealed between the step portion 4231 and the second rod portion 4212 when the push rod 421 moves linearly along the direction of the second axis L2, so as to seal the gap between the outer surface of the first rod portion 4211 and the inner surface of the bushing 423 from the outer end (step portion 4231) of the bushing 423.

[0103] Further, the brake disc assembly 42 includes:

[0104] A second sealing ring 425, which is sleeved outside the first rod portion 4211 and located between the bushing 423 and the first rod portion 4211;

[0105] The first rod portion 4211 has a sealing groove 4213 for accommodating the second sealing ring 425 .

[0106] The sealing groove 4213 is used to accommodate the second sealing ring 425, but the depth of the sealing groove 4213 is less than the thickness of the second sealing ring 425, so that the second sealing ring 425 can protrude from the outer surface of the first rod portion 4211, thereby filling the gap between the outer surface of the first rod portion 4211 and the inner surface of the bushing 423. When the push rod 421 slides relative to the bushing 423, the second sealing ring 425 will be restricted in the sealing groove 4213 to always seal the gap between the outer surface of the first rod portion 4211 and the inner surface of the bushing 423 from the inside of the bushing 423.

[0107] In a preferred embodiment, Figure 5 As shown, the first rod portion 4211 is threadedly connected to the end of the output shaft 41a, and the output shaft 41a rotates under the drive of the second driving motor 41;

[0108] The brake disc assembly 42 includes:

[0109] The guide rod 426 is connected between the second housing 21 and the second rod portion 4212 and extends along the second axis L2 to limit the push rod 421 to move linearly along the second axis L2 driven by the output shaft 41a.

[0110] In this embodiment, the second drive motor 41 can be selected as a common motor that outputs rotational power. The first rod portion 4211 is threadedly connected to the end of the output shaft 41a. Through the guide rod 426 that limits the second rod portion 4212 from rotating along with the output shaft 41a in the circumferential direction, the second rod portion 4212 does not rotate along with the output shaft 41a, but is screwed in or out of the end of the output shaft 41a through the thread, thereby realizing a linear movement along the extension direction of the output shaft 41a.

[0111] The first end of the guide rod 426 is fixed to the second housing 21, and the second end is passed through the second rod portion 4212. The guide rod 426 not only limits the rotation of the second rod portion 4212 in the circumferential direction, but also guides the movement direction of the second rod portion 4212.

[0112] In the second housing 21, in the longitudinal direction, the first drive motor 30 and the second drive motor 41 are respectively located on both sides of the second axis L2.

[0113] This embodiment provides a structure for achieving linear movement of a push rod by a rotating motor, but this embodiment is not limited to this, and a structure for achieving linear movement by a pneumatic push rod, a hydraulic push rod, etc. can also be used.

[0114] It can be seen from the above technical solution that this embodiment provides a brake module 40 for the second lens module 20, which is used to fix the relative position of the rotatable part (the second lens module 20) with respect to the fixed part (the first shell 10), so that when the first driving assembly 30 stops, the second lens module 20 and the first shell 10 are relatively stationary, thereby eliminating the shaking of the second lens assembly 20 at the rest position caused by the gear gap.

[0115] The first sealing ring 424 is sealed between the step portion 4231 and the second rod portion 4212 from the outside of the second shell 21. When the push rod 421 moves linearly along the direction of the second axis L2, it is always sealed between the step portion 4231 and the second rod portion 4212 to seal the gap between the outer surface of the first rod portion 4211 and the inner surface of the bushing 423 from the outer end (step portion 4231) of the bushing 423.

[0116] The sealing groove 4213 is used to accommodate the second sealing ring 425, but the depth of the sealing groove 4213 is less than the thickness of the second sealing ring 425, so that the second sealing ring 425 can protrude from the outer surface of the first rod portion 4211, thereby filling the gap between the outer surface of the first rod portion 4211 and the inner surface of the bushing 423. When the push rod 421 slides relative to the bushing 423, the second sealing ring 425 will be restricted in the sealing groove 4213 to always seal the gap between the outer surface of the first rod portion 4211 and the inner surface of the bushing 423 from the inside of the bushing 423.

[0117] The series of detailed descriptions listed above are only specific descriptions of feasible implementation methods of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any equivalent implementation methods or changes that do not deviate from the technical spirit of the present invention, such as combination, division or repetition of features, should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
