[0008] Furthermore, the second gear is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the box body, and the upper part of the second gear passes through the layer plate.

[0009] Furthermore, a conduit is inserted into the stainless steel guide rail, one end of the conduit is connected to the bottom of the air injection tube, and the other end of the conduit is connected to the top of the self-curling airbag, and thickness control ropes are evenly distributed on the inner wall of the self-curling airbag.

[0015] A camera operation method is applied with the above-mentioned camera for expanding monitoring range, and the camera operation method comprises the following steps:

[0016] When the camera body needs to be disassembled, the servo motor rotates to make the reel release the wire rope, and the wire rope is released downward along the surface of the guide wheel. At this time, the tripod is affected by gravity and carries the camera body down. When the tripod is lowered, it slides down along the surface of the stainless steel guide rail through the slide groove on its back side. At the same time, due to the action of gravity, the wiring plugs of the tripod and the camera body are automatically withdrawn from the wiring interface at the bottom of the box body, and the box body is separated;

[0017] While the winding shaft rotates, the first gear drives the second gear to rotate, so that the transmission rod carries the piston rod to perform a lifting piston movement inside the air injection tube. The piston rod drives the piston to move, injecting outside air into the air injection tube along the air inlet, and then entering the self-curling airbag, so that the self-curling airbag unfolds from the curled state and stretches downward.

[0018] The present invention provides a camera for expanding monitoring range and an operation method thereof, which has the beneficial effects of:

[0019] 1. The camera with expanded monitoring range and its operation method drive the tripod to carry the camera body to rise and fall through the forward and reverse rotation of the servo motor, so that the staff can disassemble and assemble the camera body while standing on the ground. When the tripod is lowered, the rotation of the servo motor causes the piston rod to perform piston movement inside the air injection pipe to replenish air into the self-curling airbag, so that the self-curling airbag unfolds and stretches downward, thereby allowing the tripod to achieve vertical lifting along the stainless steel guide rail and the rope body guide rail surface through the slide groove on its back side, and also allows the camera body to remain stable without shaking during the lifting process, thereby preventing the camera body from colliding with objects such as walls and rods during the lifting process.

[0020] 2. The camera with expanded monitoring range and the operation method thereof, the servo motor rotates in the opposite direction to make the reel reel up the wire rope, at this time the tripod carries the camera body and slides along the rope body guide rail and the surface of the stainless steel guide rail through the slide groove on the back side thereof, until the wiring plug on the surface of the tripod is inserted into the wiring interface at the bottom of the box body, thus completing the installation of the camera body, and then opening the exhaust valve to release the gas inside the self-curling airbag, so that the self-curling airbag automatically curls to the bottom of the stainless steel guide rail, preventing the self-curling airbag from being pulled due to being too low after being straightened.

[0021] 3.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] The following embodiments of the present invention are described in further detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0029] like Figure 1-Figure 5As shown, the present invention provides a technical solution: a camera for expanding the monitoring range, including a box body 1 and a lifting assembly 3, a layer plate 2 is fixed to the middle of the inner wall of the box body 1, and the lifting assembly 3 is arranged on the layer plate 2.

A wire rope 305 is rolled up on the surface of the reel 303. The front end of the surface of the layer plate 2 is rotatably connected to a guide wheel 304. The end of the wire rope 305 passes through the guide wheel 304, the layer plate 2, and the box body 1 in sequence and is connected to a tripod 306. The front end of the tripod 306 is rotatably connected to a camera body 307. A slide groove 308 is provided on the back side of the tripod 306. A stainless steel guide rail 309 is fixed to the bottom of the box body 1. A first guide rail 309 is fixed to the outer wall of one end of the reel 303. A gear 310 is provided. The lower part of the first gear 310 is meshed with a second gear 311. The side of the second gear 311 is rotatably connected to a transmission rod 312. The lower end of the transmission rod 312 is rotatably connected to a piston rod 313. An air injection pipe 314 is provided at the bottom of the inner wall of the box body 1. An air inlet 315 is provided at the upper part of the air injection pipe 314. A self-curling airbag 316 is connected to the lower end of the stainless steel guide rail 309. A rope body guide rail 317 is provided on the surface of the self-curling airbag 316. A wiring plug 4 is provided on the surface of the tripod 306. A wiring interface is provided at the bottom of the box body 1. The wiring interface is one-to-one with the wiring plug 4. Correspondingly, the second gear 311 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the box body 1, the top of the second gear 311 penetrates the layer plate 2, a conduit is passed through the stainless steel guide rail 309, one end of the conduit is connected to the bottom of the gas injection pipe 314, and the other end of the conduit is connected to the self-curling airbag 316, the inner wall of the self-curling airbag 316 is evenly distributed with a thickness control rope, the bottom of the self-curling airbag 316 is provided with an exhaust valve, the rope body guide rail 317 on the surface of the self-curling airbag 316 is aligned with the stainless steel guide rail 309, and the tripod 306 is slidably connected to the stainless steel guide rail 309 and the rope body guide rail 317 through the slide groove 308;

[0030] The specific operation is as follows: when the camera body 307 needs to be disassembled, the servo motor 302 rotates to make the reel 303 release the wire 305, and the wire 305 is released downward along the surface of the guide wheel 304. At this time, the tripod 306 is affected by gravity to carry the camera body 307 down, and when the tripod 306 descends, it slides down along the surface of the stainless steel guide rail 309 through the slide groove 308 on its back side. At the same time, the gravity of the tripod 306 and the camera body 307 automatically pulls out the wiring plug 4 from the wiring interface at the bottom of the box body 1 and separates from the box body 1;

[0031] When the reel 303 rotates, the first gear 310 drives the second gear 311 to rotate, so that the transmission rod 312 carries the piston rod 313 to perform a lifting piston movement inside the gas injection tube 314. When the piston rod 313 performs a piston movement, the outside air is injected into the gas injection tube 314 from the air inlet 315. The air passes through the catheter along the gas injection tube 314 and enters the self-curling airbag 316, so that the self-curling airbag 316 unfolds from the curled state and straightens downward. The thickness control rope controls the rope body guide rail 317 on the surface of the self-curling airbag 316 to align with the stainless steel guide rail 309. Therefore, when the tripod 306 descends to the surface of the self-curling airbag 316, it continues to slide down along the surface of the rope body guide rail 317. In this way, the staff only needs to remove the camera body 307 to monitor the area at ground height.

[0032] The back side of the self-curling airbag 316, that is, the side away from the rope guide rail 317, is attached to the wall. After the self-curling airbag 316 is unfolded, the back side of the self-curling airbag 316 is attached to the wall. The back side of the self-curling airbag 316 can be designed to be non-slip (that is, the back side of the self-curling airbag 316 is designed with rubber non-slip bumps) to increase the friction with the wall, so that the tripod 306 carrying the camera body 307 can slide down steadily along the surface of the rope guide rail 317, avoiding the shaking of the camera body 307 when sliding down due to the suspended setting of the self-curling airbag 316 after it is unfolded. When installing the box 1 at a high place, it is necessary to clear other objects that may cause obstacles in the surrounding area to ensure that the camera body 307 can be smoothly lifted and lowered without being interfered by external objects.

[0033] When the camera body 307 needs to be installed, the self-curling airbag 316 is in an expanded and straightened state, the servo motor 302 rotates in the opposite direction, the reel 303 reels the wire rope 305, and the tripod 306 carries the camera body 307 and slides along the rope body guide rail 317 and the stainless steel guide rail 309 through the slide groove 308 on its back side until the wiring plug 4 on the surface of the tripod 306 is inserted into the wiring interface at the bottom of the box body 1, thus completing the installation of the camera body 307, and then the exhaust valve is opened to release the gas inside the self-curling airbag 316, and the self-curling airbag 316 automatically curls to the bottom of the stainless steel guide rail 309;

[0034] Based on the above description, the camera with expanded monitoring range and its operation method enable the tripod 306 carrying the camera body 307 to be raised and lowered through the forward and reverse rotation of the servo motor 302, and the staff can disassemble and assemble the camera body 307 at the ground height. When the tripod 306 descends, the rotation of the servo motor 302 causes the piston rod 313 to perform piston movement inside the air injection pipe 314 to replenish air into the self-curling airbag 316, so that the self-curling airbag 316 unfolds and stretches downward, so that the tripod 306 can be vertically raised and lowered along the stainless steel guide rail 309 and the rope guide rail 317 through the slide groove 308 on its back side, thereby allowing the camera body 307 to remain stable and not shake during the lifting process, so as to avoid the camera body 307 from colliding with objects such as walls and rods during the lifting process, and the self-curling airbag 316 can exhaust air to automatically curl after use, so as to prevent the self-curling airbag 316 from being pulled due to too low a height after being straightened.

[0035] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the rear end of the tripod 306 is rotatably connected with a lower bevel gear shaft 5, and the lower bevel gear shaft 5 is meshedly connected with an upper bevel gear shaft 6, and the other end of the upper bevel gear shaft 6 is connected with an angle adjustment motor 7, and the angle adjustment motor 7 is fixed to the bottom of the box body 1. The lower end of the lower bevel gear shaft 5 passes through the tripod 306 and is connected with a first transmission wheel 8. A second transmission wheel 9 is arranged parallel to one side of the first transmission wheel 8, and the second transmission wheel 9 is connected to the lower part of the camera body 307. A transmission belt 10 is connected between the first transmission wheel 8 and the second transmission wheel 9. The camera body 307 rotates through the second transmission wheel 9, the transmission belt 10, the first transmission wheel 8, the lower bevel gear shaft 5, the upper bevel gear shaft 6 and the angle adjustment motor 7;

[0036] The specific operation is as follows. After the installation is completed, the camera body 307 rises to the top, and the lower bevel gear shaft 5 also rises to the top with the tripod 306. At this time, the lower bevel gear shaft 5 is meshed and connected with the upper bevel gear shaft 6. Therefore, the rotation of the camera body 307 is achieved by the angle adjustment motor 7 driving the upper bevel gear shaft 6 to rotate the lower bevel gear shaft 5. The lower bevel gear shaft 5 drives the first transmission wheel 8 and the transmission belt 10 to drive the second transmission wheel 9 to rotate forward and reverse, so that the camera body 307 can adjust the viewing angle during the monitoring process, thereby adjusting the monitoring area and expanding the monitoring range. When the camera body 307 descends, the lower bevel gear shaft 5 also descends with the tripod 306 to achieve separation from the upper bevel gear shaft 6, thereby not affecting the lifting and lowering of the tripod 306 and the camera body 307.

[0037] like Figure 1-Figure 5As shown, a camera operation method is applied to the above-mentioned camera for expanding the monitoring range, and the camera operation method comprises the following steps: when the camera body 307 needs to be disassembled, the servo motor 302 rotates to make the reel 303 release the wire rope 305, and the wire rope 305 is released downward along the surface of the guide wheel 304, at this time, the tripod 306 is affected by gravity to carry the camera body 307 down, and when the tripod 306 is descended, it slides down along the surface of the stainless steel guide rail 309 through the slide groove 308 on the back side thereof, and at the same time, the wiring plug 4 of the tripod 306 and the camera body 307 is automatically withdrawn from the wiring interface at the bottom of the box body 1 under the action of gravity, and the box body 1 is separated;

[0038] While the winding shaft 303 rotates, the first gear 310 drives the second gear 311 to rotate, so that the transmission rod 312 carries the piston rod 313 to perform a lifting piston movement inside the air injection tube 314. The piston rod 313 drives the piston movement, and the outside air is injected into the air injection tube 314 along the air inlet 315, and then enters the self-curling airbag 316, so that the self-curling airbag 316 unfolds from the curled state and stretches downward. The thickness control rope controls the expansion of the self-curling airbag 316, so that the rope guide rail 317 on the surface of the self-curling airbag 316 is aligned with the stainless steel guide rail 309. Therefore, when the tripod 306 descends to the surface of the self-curling airbag 316, it can continue to slide down along the surface of the rope guide rail 317, and the staff only needs to remove the camera body 307 on the ground.
