DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the implementation rules described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] See also Figure 1-Figure 7 As shown, the present invention provides a technical solution: a panoramic camera with infrared night vision function, comprising a bottom mechanism 1, and a fill light mechanism 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the bottom mechanism 1;

After that, the fill light mechanism 2 can be effectively locked firmly on the top of the bottom mechanism 1, and in the use state, when the external large gear 112 rotates, it can maintain a meshing and rotating state with the small gear 209. Under this transmission (and with the cooperation of the two sets of bearings 206), the threaded rod 207 can be maintained to rotate inside the two sets of bearings 206. During the rotation of the threaded rod 207, it can generate threaded rotation with the inside of the threaded ring 208. Because the threaded ring 208 is fixedly inserted in the inside of the locking block 201, the generated threaded rotation pushes the component fixed with the threaded ring 208 to move laterally inside the fill light body 203, thereby converging and diverging the emitted light source, and the converging and diverging of this light source is adjusted according to the focusing condition of the camera body 108.

[0032] according to Figure 4-Figure 6 As shown: the inner surface wall of the fill light body 203 is fixedly inserted with a fixing rod 212, and the outer surface wall of the fixing rod 212 is movably inserted inside the outer ring plate 210. First, the fixing rod 212 is fixedly inserted inside the fill light body 203, and serves as a limiting treatment for the movement of the outer ring plate 210.

[0033] according to Figure 5-Figure 6 As shown: a battery compartment 213 is provided on one side of the outer wall of the fill light body 203, and multiple battery bodies 214 are placed on the inner wall of the battery compartment 213. A fastening ring 215 is threadedly rotated on the inner wall of the battery compartment 213, and one side of the outer wall of the fastening ring 215 contacts one side of the outer wall of one of the multiple battery bodies 214. First, the multiple battery bodies 214 are fixedly inserted into the interior of the battery compartment 213, and after the multiple battery bodies 214 are connected to each other, current flow can be formed, thereby transmitting electricity to the interior of the fill light body 203, thereby completing the power support for the fill light body 203, converting electrical energy into light energy inside it, and completing the external light source supplement.

[0034] according to Figure 2As shown: the bottom mechanism 1 includes a driving rotating seat 101, the top of the driving rotating seat 101 is provided with an angle adjustment groove 102, the inner surface wall of the angle adjustment groove 102 is embedded with a rotatable driving rotating ball 103, firstly, the angle adjustment groove 102 is provided on the top of the driving rotating seat 101, and when the driving rotating ball 103 rotates inside it, it can drive the top of the driving rotating ball 103 and the components fixed thereto to implement linkage processing.

[0035] according to Figure 2-Figure 3 As shown: the top of the driving ball 103 is fixedly connected to a mounting base 104, and a level tester 105 is fixedly installed inside the mounting base 104. First, the level tester 105 installed inside the mounting base 104 is used to test the flatness, straightness, verticality and horizontal position of the camera installation.

[0036] according to Figure 2 As shown: a group of embedding grooves 106 are preset inside the mounting seat 104, and the inner surface walls of the group of embedding grooves 106 are movably embedded with embedding plates 107. First, the embedding grooves 106 are opened inside the mounting seat 104, and when the embedding plates 107 can be embedded and moved inside them, the components fixed with the embedding plates 107 can be installed and disassembled.

[0037] according to Figure 2 As shown: the outer walls of a group of embedded plates 107 are fixedly installed with camera bodies 108. When the embedded plates 107 and the camera bodies 108 are in a fixed connection state and the embedded plates 107 are in an embedded and engaged state, the camera bodies 108 can be disassembled and installed, thereby improving the convenience of disassembly of the camera bodies 108.

[0038] according to Figure 2-Figure 3 As shown: a thread groove 109 is provided on one side of the outer wall of the mounting seat 104, and the inner surface wall of the thread groove 109 is threadedly connected with a threaded extrusion rod 110. When the thread groove 109 is provided on one side of the outer wall of the mounting seat 104, and the threaded extrusion rod 110 can be threadedly rotated inside it, the internal embedded plate 107 can be squeezed. In this squeezing state, the stability of the embedded plate 107 installed inside the embedded groove 106 can be maintained to avoid the problem of slipping during use.

[0039] according to Figure 2As shown: the outer wall of the camera body 108 is provided with a zoom ring 111, the outer wall of the zoom ring 111 is fixedly sleeved with a large gear 112, the outer wall of the camera body 108 is provided with a group of engaging grooves 113, and a camera head 114 is threadedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the camera body 108. First, the camera head 114 threadedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the camera body 108 can be replaced in this way. When the staff rotates the zoom ring 111, they can complete the focus and distance adjustment of the camera. When the zoom ring 111 is rotated, the large gear 112 can be driven to rotate at the same time, and the rotation of the large gear 112 can complete the adjustment of other components.

[0040] according to Figure 2-Figure 7 As shown: the outer walls of a group of engaging blocks 201 are movably embedded in the engaging groove 113, the outer wall of the large gear 112 is meshed with the inner wall of the small gear 209, and the bottom of the U-shaped plate 202 is in contact with the top of the camera body 108. Firstly, under the mutual connection of the above components, the connection between the bottom mechanism 1 and the fill light mechanism 2 can be effectively realized, and under the mutual cooperation of the two, the fill light processing of the panoramic camera in use can be better completed.

[0041] The working principle of the whole mechanism is as follows: first, when the device is in use, the camera body 108 needs to be installed first, and the embedding plate 107 at the bottom of the camera body 108 is movably embedded in the embedding groove 106, and then the threaded extrusion rod 110 is rotated to keep the threaded extrusion rod 110 rotating inside the thread groove 109, and in this rotating state, the threaded extrusion rod 110 will move forward inside the thread groove 109, and in this moving state, the threaded extrusion rod 110 can squeeze the embedding plate 107 to keep the embedding plate 107 fixed inside the embedding groove 106, and then the fill light mechanism 2 is installed. When a set of snap blocks are When 201 can be movably embedded in the engaging groove 113, the fill light mechanism 2 is effectively kept engaged with the top of the bottom mechanism 1, and in this engaged state, the engagement between the large gear 112 and the small gear 209 can be maintained. Then the staff fixes the entire device in a designated place, and the multiple battery main bodies 214 are fixedly inserted into the battery compartment 213. After the multiple battery main bodies 214 are connected to each other, current flow can be formed, thereby transmitting electricity to the inside of the fill light main body 203, thereby completing the power support for the fill light main body 203, converting electrical energy into light energy inside it, and completing the light supplement of the external environment at night. When it is necessary to take a video of an external person or object at night, the focal length of the camera needs to be automatically adjusted during the photography process. Under the automatic adjustment of the equipment, the zoom ring 111 can be rotated by external automatic adjustment to adjust the focal length of the camera. When the zoom ring 111 rotates, it can drive the large gear 112 to rotate in the same direction and frequency. During the rotation, the large gear 112 can be in a meshing rotation state with the small gear 209. Since the small gear 209 is in a fixed connection with the threaded rod 207, and with the cooperation of the two sets of bearings 206, this transmission is used to drive the threaded rod 207 to produce a rotation on the inner surface wall of the two bearings 206. During the self-rotation of the threaded rod 207, the threaded rotation can be generated with the inside of the threaded ring 208, and the threaded ring 208 is in a fixed connection with the outer ring plate 210. When the threaded ring 208 moves, and with the cooperation of the fixed rod 212 at its top moving within the outer ring plate 210, the outer ring plate 210 and the lens 211 fixedly installed inside the outer ring plate 210 can be driven to move horizontally inside the fill-light body 203, so as to adjust the distance between the lens 211 and the light source generated inside the fill-light body 203. Under this adjustment, the focus adjustment of the light source on the outside can be maintained, so as to maintain the best fill-light for the people or objects photographed outside.

[0042] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, it is still possible for those skilled in the art to modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or to make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
