Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of power supply systems, and in particular to a solar-based power supply system for surveillance cameras. Background Art
[0002] A camera generally has basic functions such as video transmission and static image capture. After the lens captures the image, the photosensitive component circuit and control component in the camera process the image and convert it into a digital signal that can be recognized by the computer. Then, the image is input into the computer through a parallel port or USB connection, and the software restores the image. Cameras can be divided into two categories: digital cameras and analog cameras. Digital cameras can convert the analog video signals generated by the video acquisition device into digital signals, and then store them in the computer. The video signals captured by the analog camera must be converted into digital modes by a specific video capture card, and then compressed before they can be converted to the computer for use. As an image acquisition device, cameras are widely used in current production and life to provide security for people's production and life and provide data support for security. Therefore, the working stability of the camera is extremely important. The working stability of the camera depends on two aspects: on the one hand, the working stability of the camera itself, and on the other hand, the power supply stability of the camera. In the prior art, the mechanical structure and electrical structure of the camera itself have been developed very well, so the stability of the camera mainly depends on the stability of the power supply.

[0030] See also Figure 1-2 The left side of the camera body 1 is provided with evenly distributed heat dissipation holes, wherein a dust filter is fixedly installed inside the heat dissipation holes. The heat generated by the camera body 1 during operation can be dissipated to the outside through the heat dissipation holes, thereby assisting the camera body 1 in heat dissipation, so that the camera body 1 can maintain a normal temperature for photographic operations. At the same time, the dust filter can prevent dust in the outside air from entering the camera body 1, thereby preventing dust from affecting the operation of electronic components inside the camera body 1.
[0031] See also Figure 4 The elastic force of the telescopic spring 3 on the conductive medium 5 is smaller than the magnetic attraction of the electromagnet 10 on the conductive medium 5. The position of the conductive medium 5 is controlled by the electromagnet 10. When the telescopic spring 3 is not affected by the magnetic force, the conductive medium 5 is in contact with the battery wire 6. The electromagnet 10 is energized to attract the conductive medium 5 to move downward, so that the conductive medium 5 is separated from the battery wire 6, and the battery wire 6 is disconnected.
[0032] See also Figure 1-4 The first wire shell barrel 7 and the second wire shell barrel 8 are both fixedly installed inside the camera body 1.

[0035] See also Figure 1-2 The storage battery 12 and the solar energy conversion module 13 are both arranged on the bracket 22. The bracket 22 can be used to support the storage battery 12 and the solar energy conversion module 13, and also provides a suitable placement position for the storage battery 12.

A rotating rod is arranged inside the bracket plate 21 and the concave seat 20, and the rotating rod passes through the bracket plate 21 and the concave seat 20, wherein the outer side of the telescopic rod is threadedly connected with a height adjustment knob, and the monitoring angle of the camera body 1 can be controlled by the two telescopic rods on the front and back sides, that is, the height difference between the two telescopic rods on the front and back sides is controlled, which is convenient for monitoring at multiple angles, and the rotating rod can assist the concave seat 20 in adjusting the angle on the bracket plate 21.
[0037] See also Figure 1-2 The battery 12, the solar energy conversion module 13 and the solar panel 19 are all connected in series using the battery wire 6. The solar panel 19 absorbs solar energy, and then the solar energy conversion module 13 converts the solar energy into electrical energy. The converted electrical energy is then transferred to the battery 12 for electrical energy storage, which is convenient for use when the camera is powered off.
[0038] See also Figure 1-2 The protective cover 15 is made of hemispherical glass, wherein a sealing ring is sleeved on the back of the protective cover 15. The hemispherical glass can protect the head of the camera, reducing the possibility of damage to the head of the camera. At the same time, the sealing ring can ensure the sealing between the connector 14 and the protective cover 15, preventing water from entering the head of the camera, thereby improving the service life and durability of the head of the camera.
[0039] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: when using the camera, first select an appropriate installation position, then use the fixing plate 23 and the screws to install the camera, after the installation is completed, adjust the monitoring angle of the camera body 1, rotate the camera body 1 under the action of the supporting plate 21 and the concave seat 20, and when the angle adjustment is determined, control the two telescopic rods on the front and back to form a corresponding height difference to complete the monitoring angle adjustment of the camera body, after the camera installation and adjustment is completed, insert the plug on the external wire 9 into the mains socket, so that the camera body 1 is powered on, the camera body 1 starts to work, and the resistor 11 and the electric When the magnet 10 is energized, the electromagnet 10 generates magnetism, attracting the conductive medium 5 to separate from the battery wire 6. The conductive medium 5 is close to the electromagnet 10, but does not contact the external wire 9, and is away from the battery wire 6, so that the battery wire 6 is disconnected. The magnetic force generated by the electromagnet 10 is greater than the elastic force of the telescopic spring 3. The protective cover 15 can protect the head of the camera body 1 to prevent the head of the camera body 1 from being scratched or damaged, reduce the probability of damage to the lens of the camera body 1, and increase the service life of the camera lens. At the same time, the protective cover 15 is in a hemispherical shape, which can facilitate the water drops on the outer surface of the protective cover 15 to slide off, avoiding blocking the camera lens. The shell cover 17 can protect the camera body 1, improve the toughness of the camera body 1, and make the camera body 1 more durable. At the same time, the solar panel 19 on the shell cover 17 absorbs the solar energy irradiated on the surface, and then uses the solar energy conversion module 13 to convert the solar energy into electrical energy, and then uses the battery wire 6 to transmit the converted electrical energy to the battery 12 for charging and storage, so as to power the camera body 1 when the power is cut off. When the city power is cut off, the camera body 1 is powered off. At this time, no current passes through the electromagnet 10, and the magnetism on the electromagnet 10 disappears. Under the action of the telescopic spring 3, the conductive medium 5 immediately moves upward. Move, so that the conductive medium 5 and the battery wire 6 are in contact, the battery wire 6 forms a path, and the battery 12 immediately passes through the battery wire 6 and then through the conductive medium 5, and immediately supplies power to the camera body 1, so that the camera body continues to work immediately. This power supply method has a variety of power sources, and uses the solar panel 19 and the solar energy conversion module 13 to convert solar energy into electrical energy for storage, which saves energy on the consumption of city electricity. The power supply system has a simple circuit structure and a fast switching response between battery power and city power, which shortens the power supply interruption time of the camera, is beneficial to the collection of security data, and is convenient to meet the requirements of daily life.
