[0002] With the continuous advancement of technology, image acquisition devices are playing an increasingly important role in modern life. From smartphones to surveillance cameras, image acquisition devices have become an indispensable part of our lives. An image acquisition device is a device that can convert real-world scenes into digital images or videos using optical or electronic technology. It can be used to capture still images or continuous video streams and convert them into digital signals for subsequent processing and analysis. These devices can acquire data in various ways, such as through sensors, cameras, and scanners. Currently, image acquisition devices are also widely used in the field of environmental surveying, for example, acquiring environmental images at the front end, transmitting them to the back end, and performing 3D modeling to create a simulated environment.
[0003] When surveying the site environment, the shooting location of the data acquisition device needs to be changed every once in a while. However, due to different geographical locations, especially in uneven environments such as hills and forests, the angle of the data acquisition device will change after changing the shooting location. Furthermore, since there is no fixed angle reference surface, users need to readjust the angle of the data acquisition device and perform multiple adjustments, making the operation cumbersome.

Detailed Implementation
[0028] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0029] Example: Figures 1-7 As shown, the present invention provides a portable intelligent data acquisition device, including a support platform 1 and an adjustment platform 2. The support platform 1 and the adjustment platform 2 are snapped together. The structure for connecting the support platform 1 and the adjustment platform 2 includes a cross block. The bottom of the support platform 1 is provided with a protruding cross block, and the top of the adjustment platform 2 is provided with a slot. After the cross block is inserted into the slot, it can be rotated at a certain angle. At this time, it can provide a vertical limiting effect on the support platform 1, so that the support platform 1 and the adjustment platform 2 remain in a close fit.
[0030] The support platform 1 is used to support the smart camera 3, and the adjustment platform 2 is used to adjust the angle of the smart camera 3. The bottom of the adjustment platform 2 is provided with a gravity ball 4. The gravity ball 4 is hollow inside, and the center of gravity of the gravity ball 4 does not coincide with the center of the circle, and the center of gravity is located below the center of the circle. A matching connecting sleeve 5 is fitted on the outside of the gravity ball 4. The gravity ball 4 and the connecting sleeve 5 are movably connected. The movable connection is a spherical connection. The gravity ball 4 can rotate infinitely inside the connecting sleeve 5. The connecting sleeve 5 is located on the top of the support platform 6.
[0031] Furthermore, the gravity ball 4 has a cavity 41 and a cavity 42 inside. The cavity 41 is filled with a gravity block. The weight of the gravity block is greater than the weight of the adjustment platform 2. The adjustment platform 2 can be made of lightweight materials, such as plastic. The sidewall of the cavity 42 extends to the outside of the connecting sleeve 5 and connects to the adjustment platform 2.
[0032] Specifically, after the data collection device is placed securely, the smart camera 3 is not placed yet. At this time, under the action of gravity, the cavity 41 inside the gravity ball 4 is always located below the cavity 41, and the center of gravity is always located directly below the center of the circle. Since the gravity ball 4 is connected to the adjustment platform 2, the gravity ball 4 will drive the adjustment platform 2 to move synchronously, so that the adjustment platform 2 will automatically adjust to a horizontal state. This horizontal state is based on the horizontal plane of the earth.
[0033] And a limiting component one, which is disposed between the adjusting platform 2 and the supporting platform 2, and is used to fix the position of the adjusting platform 2; the limiting component one includes a connecting rod 1 71, a connecting rod 2 72 and a sleeve 2 73. The connecting rod 1 71 is circumferentially and equidistantly disposed at the bottom of the adjusting platform 2, and one end of the connecting rod 1 71 is movably connected to the adjusting platform 2. The other end of the connecting rod 1 71 is movably connected to the connecting rod 2 72. One end of the connecting rod 2 72 is inserted into the limiting groove 1 74 on the sleeve 2 73. The connecting rod 2 72 and the sleeve 2 73 are slidably connected. The sleeve 2 73 surrounds the outside of the connecting sleeve 1 5.
[0034] Specifically, when the adjustment platform 2 moves, under the action of gravity, the connecting rod 71 always remains vertical, but the angle between the connecting rod 71 and the adjustment platform 2 can be changed accordingly through the spherical connection, and the angle between the connecting rod 71 and the connecting rod 72 will also change accordingly. The connecting rod 72 can only move vertically within the limiting groove.
[0035] Furthermore, the limiting component one also includes a first inclined block 75 and a second inclined block 76. The first inclined block 75 is slidably disposed on the side wall of the second sleeve 73, and the first inclined block 75 penetrates the second sleeve 73 and is inserted into the first limiting groove 74. The second inclined block 76 is disposed on the outer wall of the first connecting ring, and the first connecting ring is slidably sleeved on the outer wall of the first connecting sleeve 5. The first inclined block 75 and the second inclined block 76 are slidably connected. A sliding groove is provided on the side wall of the first inclined block 75, and a slider matching the sliding groove is provided on the side wall of the second inclined block 76.
[0036] Specifically, when the inclined block 76 moves vertically, it will drive the slider 1 to move. The slider 1 can move within the groove 1 and will also pull the inclined block 75 to move horizontally. When the inclined block 75 is horizontally inserted into the limiting groove 74, it can contact the connecting rod 72 and generate friction on the connecting rod 72, thus fixing the connecting rod 72. A friction pad can be set at the contact position between the connecting rod 72 and the inclined block 75 to increase friction. When no limiting is needed, the inclined block 75 is pulled out of the limiting groove 74, releasing the fixed state of the connecting rod 72.
[0037] Furthermore, the bottom of the inclined block 76 is provided with a magnetic rod 77, one end of which is inserted into the magnetic sleeve 78. The magnetic sleeve 78 is provided with an electromagnetic block 79. When the electromagnetic block 79 is energized, it generates a magnetic attraction force on the outgoing magnetic rod 77. The magnetic sleeve 78 is provided with a reset spring 710 inside, which is used to drive the magnetic rod 77 to reset. The magnetic sleeve 78 is located on the outer wall of the connecting sleeve 5.
[0038] Specifically, when the electromagnetic block 79 is energized, it generates an attractive magnetic force on the magnetic rod 77, pulling the magnetic rod 77 downward. The magnetic rod 77 then pulls the inclined block 76 downward, which limits the movement of the connecting rod 72. When the electromagnetic block 79 is de-energized, the magnetic rod 77 is reset under the action of the reset spring 710, which in turn resets the inclined block 75 and the inclined block 76.
[0039] And a second limiting component, which is hinged to the second support platform 6, and the second limiting component is used to fix the position of the first support platform 1.
[0040] Furthermore, the second limiting member includes an arc-shaped clamping plate 81, which is located on the outside of the first support platform 1 and is hinged to the second support platform 6. The inner sidewall of the arc-shaped clamping plate 81 is provided with several limiting rods 82, and the sidewall of the arc-shaped clamping plate 81 is provided with a second limiting groove 83 that matches the limiting rods 82. The second limiting groove 83 is provided with a second return spring 84 inside, which is used to drive the limiting rods 82 to return to their original position. The several limiting rods 82 form a rectangular array, and the width of the rectangular array is greater than the thickness of the first support platform 1.
[0041] Specifically, the arc-shaped clamp 81 is moved inward, so that the limiting rod 82 on the inner wall of the arc-shaped clamp 81 contacts the support platform 1. After being subjected to force, the limiting rod 82, which is on the same horizontal plane as the support platform 1, will move in the opposite direction into the limiting groove 83. The limiting rod 82 above or below the support platform 1 will surround the support platform 1, thus exerting a vertical limiting effect on the support platform 1, fixing the position of the support platform 1. In addition, the limiting rod 82 below the support platform 1 will also provide support, so that the weight of the support platform 1 does not completely press on the adjusting table 2, reducing the probability of damage to the adjusting table 2.
[0042] Furthermore, the limiting component two also includes inclined block three 85 and inclined block four 86. The inclined block three 85 is disposed on the inner wall of the arc-shaped clamp 81. The inclined block four 86 is slidably connected to the inclined block three 85. The inclined block three 85 has a sliding groove two on its side wall. The inclined block four 86 has a slider two that matches the sliding groove two on its side wall. The inclined block four 86 is slidably disposed on the connecting ring two 87. The connecting ring two 87 drives the inclined block four 86 to move.
[0043] Specifically, when the inclined block 4 86 moves, the inclined block 3 85 moves through the slider 2, and the inclined block 3 85 pulls the arc-shaped clamp 81 to move, controlling the opening and closing of the arc-shaped clamp 81.
[0044] Furthermore, the connecting ring 87 is sleeved on the outside of the sleeve 73, the outer wall of the sleeve 73 is provided with an external thread 88, the inner wall of the connecting ring 87 is provided with an internal thread that meshes with the external thread 88, and the connecting ring 87 is threadedly connected to the sleeve 73.
[0045] Specifically, when the connecting ring 87 rotates, the meshing action of the internal thread and the external thread 88 will cause the connecting ring 87 to move in the vertical direction.
[0046] Furthermore, the outer wall of the connecting ring 87 is provided with a ring gear 89, which meshes with gear 810. The inner wall of gear 810 is connected to a spline shaft 811 through a spline groove. The end of the spline shaft 811 is connected to a motor 812. Gear 810 is located below the inclined block 86. Gear 810 is connected to a return spring 813, which is used to drive gear 810 to return to its original position.
[0047] Specifically, the drive motor 812 can drive the spline shaft 811 to rotate, the spline shaft 811 can drive the gear 2 810 to rotate, the gear 2 810 will drive the meshing ring gear 1 89 to rotate, and the ring gear 1 89 will drive the connecting ring 2 87 to rotate. The vertical movement of the connecting ring 2 87 can be controlled by forward and reverse rotation. Furthermore, under the action of the return spring 3 813, the gear 2 810 is always in contact with the inclined block 4 86. After the inclined block 4 86 presses the gear 2 810 downward a certain distance, the return spring will also drive the gear 2 810 to move upward.
[0048] The second support platform 6 has a triangular bracket 9 at its bottom and an arc-shaped baffle 10 at its top.
[0049] Working principle: After changing the shooting location, the device is stably supported on the ground by the tripod 9. At this time, the smart camera 3 and the support platform 1 are not installed. Under the action of gravity, the gravity ball 4 will automatically adjust its angle and drive the adjustment platform 2 to move until it is in a horizontal state. At this time, the electromagnet is energized, and the inclined block 75 limits and fixes the connecting rod 72, thereby fixing the position of the adjustment platform 2. Then, the support platform 1 is installed on the adjustment platform 2, and the motor 812 is started to control the inclined block 75 to move. This will drive the arc-shaped clamp 81 to tighten inward. The limiting rod 82 on the arc-shaped clamp 81 will surround the support platform 1 and form a state similar to "biting", thereby limiting and supporting the support platform 1, completing the purpose of automatically adjusting the position and fixing the smart camera 3.
[0050] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from its spirit or essential characteristics. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as exemplary and non-limiting, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within the present invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
