[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of area array cameras, and in particular to an adjustable mounting bracket for area array cameras. Background Art

[0002] As a category of industrial cameras, area array cameras mainly use continuous, planar scanning light to achieve product inspection. They can obtain a complete target image at one time and perform image acquisition in a timely manner. They are widely used in machine vision systems. The field of view of a single area array camera is often limited by factors such as the distance to the object being measured and the use of the lens. When identifying and measuring the area, shape, position, etc., the camera is often required to measure at different vertical heights and different horizontal angles, that is, to make a single area array camera have a larger field of view. If an adjustable mounting bracket for an area array camera can be proposed, which can satisfy the area array camera to measure at different vertical heights and different horizontal angles, the measurement efficiency of the area array camera in actual use can be improved.

[0003] To sum up, the technical problem existing in the prior art is that it is urgently necessary to propose an adjustable mounting bracket for area array cameras, which can enable the area array camera set on the adjustable mounting bracket to perform measurements at different vertical heights and different horizontal angles. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of the technical problems in the prior art, it is urgently necessary to propose an adjustable mounting bracket for an area array camera, which can enable the area array camera set on the adjustable mounting bracket to perform measurements at different vertical heights and different horizontal angles; the present invention provides an adjustable mounting bracket for an area array camera.

[0005] The present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0006] An adjustable mounting bracket for an area array camera comprises a support bar, the support bar extends along a first straight line, and a plurality of first fixing parts are arranged on the support bar along the extension direction;

[0007] It also includes a plurality of annular table surfaces, which are arranged in sequence along the extension direction of the support strips, the extension direction of any annular table surface is perpendicular to the extension direction of the support strips, and a second fixing portion is respectively provided on any annular table surface, and the second fixing portion can be selectively detachably connected to one of the first fixing portions;

[0008] On any annular table, there are a number of supporting components, which are arranged in an annular array with the center of the annular table as the center of the circle, and the supporting components are detachably connected to the annular table;

[0009] The supporting component is used to install the area array camera.

[0010] Furthermore, the supporting component includes a padding block, the bottom surface of the padding block is a plane parallel to the extension direction of the annular table, and the top surface of the padding block is an inclined surface inclined to the extension direction of the annular table;

[0011] The bottom surface of the pad block contacts and is connected to the annular table top, and the top surface of the pad block is used for supporting the area array camera.

[0012] Furthermore, the support component further includes a first side pressing block and a second side pressing block;

[0013] For the padding block, the first side pressure block and the second side pressure block of the same supporting component, the first side pressure block and the second side pressure block are respectively arranged on both sides of the padding block and are respectively detachably connected to the annular table top, and the spacing between the first side pressure block and the second side pressure block is configured as a preset spacing.

[0014] Furthermore, the annular table top includes an annular mounting plate and connecting ribs, the supporting component is arranged on the annular mounting plate, the second fixing portion is arranged on the connecting ribs, and the annular mounting plate is connected to the connecting ribs.

[0015] Furthermore, the number of the annular table surfaces is two.

[0016] Furthermore, the first fixing portion is a through hole, the second fixing portion is a threaded hole, and the first fixing portion and the second fixing portion are detachably connected via screws or bolts.

[0017] Furthermore, there are multiple support bars.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are:

[0019] 1. In the present invention, the support bar extends along a first straight line, which is a straight line along the vertical direction. The annular table is used to install an area array camera. If the area array camera needs to be adjusted in vertical height, it is only necessary to remove the second fixing portion of the annular table from one of the first fixing portions and then detachably connect it to the other first fixing portion. Any annular table is provided with a plurality of support components, which are arranged in an annular array with the center of the annular table as the center of the circle. The support components are used to install an area array camera. The angle adjustment of the area array camera in the horizontal direction can be changed by installing the area array camera on different support components. In summary, the present invention can enable the area array camera arranged on the adjustable mounting bracket of the area array camera to perform measurements at different vertical heights and different horizontal angles, respectively, thereby solving the technical problems existing in the prior art.

[0020] 2. In the present invention, the supporting component includes a pad block, the bottom surface of the pad block is a plane parallel to the extension direction of the annular table top, and the top surface of the pad block is an inclined surface inclined to the extension direction of the annular table top. The pad block is used to make an angle between the area array camera and the extension direction of the annular table top, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the swing angle of the area array camera relative to the horizontal direction, further increasing the adjustment dimension of the area array camera during measurement.

[0021] 3. In the present invention, after the area array camera is set on the pad block, the first side pressure block is tightly attached to one of the side surfaces of the area array camera, and the second side pressure block is tightly attached to the other side surface of the area array camera, that is, the first side pressure block and the second side pressure block clamp the two sides of the area array camera set on the pad block to prevent the operator from accidentally touching the area array camera during the movement of the adjustable mounting bracket of the area array camera, causing the area array camera to rotate relative to the top surface of the pad block, resulting in an error between the shooting angle and the predetermined angle.

[0028] The support bar 1 is a long strip structure, extending along the first straight line, and is made of metal; a plurality of first fixing parts 2 are arranged on the support bar 1 along the extension direction, and preferably, along the extension direction of the support bar 1, the plurality of first fixing parts 2 are arranged at equal intervals, for example, the spacing between two adjacent first fixing parts 2 is 10 mm; preferably, the number of the support bars 1 is multiple, for example, the number of the support bars is four or six, and the plurality of support bars 1 are arranged parallel to each other. When the adjustable mounting bracket for the area array camera is actually used, the support bar 1 can be fixed to a tripod to keep the adjustable mounting bracket for the area array camera upright.

[0029] The specific structure of the annular table 3 is as follows: the annular table 3 includes an annular mounting plate 9 and a connecting rib 10, the supporting component 5 is arranged on the annular mounting plate 9, the second fixing portion 4 is arranged on the connecting rib 10, and the annular mounting plate 9 is connected to the connecting rib 10. There are multiple annular table 3, and in this embodiment, preferably, there are two annular table 3; the connection method between the annular mounting plate 9 and the connecting rib 10 can adopt one of the existing technologies, such as detachable connection by screws or bolts, or integrally processed.

[0030] The structure of the first fixing part 2 and the second fixing part 4 can adopt one of the existing technologies. In the present embodiment, the first fixing part 2 is a through hole, and the second fixing part 4 is a threaded hole. The first fixing part 2 and the second fixing part 4 are detachably connected by screws or bolts. For example, a screw passes through the first fixing part 2 and is threadedly screwed with the second fixing part 4 and tightened.

[0031] like Figure 1-2As shown, the support component 5 is used to install the area array camera, and the support component 5 is detachably connected to the annular table 3. In the present embodiment, the support component 5 is arranged on the annular mounting plate 9 of the annular table 3 and is detachably connected to the annular mounting plate 9. The detachable connection method can adopt the method in the prior art, for example, holes are respectively punched on the support component 5 and the annular mounting plate 9, and they are connected by fasteners such as screws or bolts, which is not limited here; the number of support components 5 is several, and the several support components 5 are arranged in an annular array with the center of the annular table 3 as the center of the circle. In the present embodiment, the support components 5 are arranged in an annular array on the annular mounting plate 9 with the center of the annular table 3 as the center of the circle; the support component 5 is used to receive the area array camera on the annular table 3, and the specific structure of the support component 5 is detailed below.

[0032] Preferably, the annular mounting plate 9 is made into a hollow shape to facilitate the wiring of the area array camera.

[0033] From the background technology, it can be seen that the technical problem existing in the prior art is that it is urgently necessary to propose an adjustable mounting bracket for area array cameras, which can enable the area array camera set on the adjustable mounting bracket to measure at different vertical heights and different horizontal angles.

[0034] In this embodiment, the support bar 1 extends along a first straight line, which is a straight line along the vertical direction. The annular table 3 is used to install an area array camera. If the area array camera needs to be adjusted in vertical height, it is only necessary to remove the second fixing portion 4 of the annular table 3 from one of the first fixing portions 2 and then detachably connect it to the other first fixing portion 2. Any annular table 3 is provided with a plurality of support components 5, which are arranged in an annular array with the center of the annular table 3 as the center of the circle. The support components 5 are used to install an area array camera. The angle of the area array camera in the horizontal direction can be adjusted by installing the area array camera on different support components 5, thereby changing the camera angle of the area array camera. In summary, this embodiment allows the area array camera set on the adjustable mounting bracket of the area array camera to perform measurements at different vertical heights and different horizontal angles, respectively, thereby solving the technical problems existing in the prior art.

[0035] Furthermore, the specific structure of the supporting component 5 is as follows: the supporting component 5 includes a raising block 6, the bottom surface of the raising block 6 is a plane parallel to the extension direction of the annular table 3, and the top surface of the raising block 6 is an inclined surface inclined to the extension direction of the annular table 3; the bottom surface of the raising block 6 is in contact with and connected to the annular table 3, and the top surface of the raising block 6 is used to support the area array camera.

[0036] like Figure 1-2As shown, in this embodiment, the connection method between the bottom surface of the pad block 6 and the annular table 3 can adopt one of the existing technologies, such as screw or bolt connection, which is not limited here; the inclination angle between the inclined surface of the pad block 6 and the extension direction of the annular table 3 can be configured according to specific circumstances, such as 10°, 15°, which is not described here; preferably, the pad block 6 and the area array camera can also be fixed with screws.

[0037] In this embodiment, the supporting component 5 includes a raising block 6, the bottom surface of the raising block 6 is a plane parallel to the extension direction of the annular table 3, and the top surface of the raising block 6 is an inclined surface inclined to the extension direction of the annular table 3. The raising block 6 is used to make an angle between the area array camera and the extension direction of the annular table 3, thereby adjusting the swing angle of the area array camera relative to the horizontal direction, further increasing the adjustment dimension of the area array camera during measurement.

[0038] Furthermore, when measuring in the horizontal direction, multiple area array cameras can be used, and each supporting component 5 can support one of the area array cameras respectively, and multiple area array cameras can measure at different horizontal angles simultaneously; or only one area array camera can be used, and the same area array camera can be adjusted and set on different supporting components 5 by the staff during measurement to perform measurements at different horizontal angles. There is no limitation here, and it can be configured according to specific usage.

[0040] The size of the preset spacing can be configured according to specific circumstances. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the preset spacing should at least ensure that, after the area array camera is set on the pad block 6, the first side pressure block 7 is in close contact with one of the side surfaces of the area array camera, and the second side pressure block 8 is in close contact with the other side surface of the area array camera, that is, the first side pressure block 7 and the second side pressure block 8 clamp the two sides of the area array camera set on the pad block 6 to prevent the operator from accidentally touching the area array camera during the movement of the adjustable mounting bracket of the area array camera, causing the area array camera to rotate relative to the top surface of the pad block 6, thereby causing an error between the shooting angle and the preset angle.

[0041] The above embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present invention, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be pointed out that, for a person of ordinary skill in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention patent shall be subject to the attached claims.
