Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of monitoring equipment technology, and in particular to a modular intelligent monitoring device. Background Technology

[0002] CCTV systems are an important component of the security field. Through cameras and their auxiliary equipment, the system can directly observe the situation in the monitored area and simultaneously record the situation in the monitored area. This ensures that users can view any image and remotely operate the pan-tilt and zoom functions of any camera with remote control capabilities. In addition, staff do not need to stare at the screen for long periods of time, and one person can monitor multiple areas, thereby reducing workload and minimizing manpower waste.

[0003] Publication number CN112901962 discloses an installation structure for a closed-circuit monitoring device. It discloses an inner sphere fitted with a rubber ring. The rubber ring has raised spiral patterns, which increase the friction between the inner sphere and the outer shell when not rotating, acting as a limit and fixing it in the desired position even if it loosens after repeated rotation. During rotation, it moves along the direction of the spiral patterns, facilitating rotation. The spiral patterns are inward-rotating, preventing the inner sphere from easily detaching from the outer shell. However, this invention uses a rubber ring to connect the inner sphere, which is prone to icing between the rubber ring and the inner sphere in cold, rainy, or snowy weather, making adjustment impossible and affecting monitoring. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a modular intelligent monitoring device that solves the problem of components of the camera easily freezing together in low-temperature rain and snow, making it impossible to adjust and affecting monitoring, by setting up bearing components and heating components.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a modular intelligent monitoring device, comprising: a monitoring camera, a rotating unit, a bearing assembly, and a heating assembly. The monitoring camera is connected to the rotating unit, which includes a spherical shell and a sphere. The sphere is rotatably connected to the spherical shell. The bearing assembly is disposed between the spherical shell and the sphere. The bearing assembly includes a bearing housing and a bearing body. The inner ring of the bearing housing has an annular spherical mounting groove. The outer ring of the bearing body is a spherical sliding surface that matches the shape of the spherical mounting groove. The center of the sliding surface is embedded in the spherical mounting groove and slides in cooperation with it. The heating assembly is disposed on the spherical shell.

[0006] As a further description of the above technical solution: The heating assembly includes a heating wire, a first metal sheet, a second metal sheet, and a driving component. The heating wire is built into the spherical shell and is arranged in a spiral shape from top to bottom along the circumference of the spherical shell. The first metal sheet is fixedly connected to the spherical shell, and the second metal sheet is located on one side of the first metal sheet and connected to the driving component.

[0007] As a further description of the above technical solution: The driving component includes a slide rod, a spring, an elastic plate, and an air bladder. The slide rod is slidably connected to the spherical shell. The second metal plate is connected to the slide rod. The spring passes through the slide rod. The elastic plate is located at one end of the slide rod. A deformation space is provided between the elastic plate and the spherical shell. The air bladder abuts against the elastic plate. A medium is provided inside the air bladder.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution: A heat-conducting plate is provided on the airbag, with one end of the heat-conducting plate in contact with the medium and the other end of the heat-conducting plate extending out of the surface of the spherical shell.

[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution: The medium is water or oil.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution: Both the bearing housing and the bearing body are made of rubber.

[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution: The surveillance camera is equipped with a first connecting rod, one end of which is fixedly connected to the surveillance camera, and the other end of which is fixedly connected to the sphere.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution: A second connecting rod is provided on the spherical shell, and a connecting block is provided on the second connecting rod.

[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution: The second connecting rod is a telescopic rod.

[0014] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. In this invention, the rotation of the camera can be adjusted by setting the bearing shell and bearing body. The rotation between the bearing shell and bearing body can be achieved. At the same time, the bearing shell and bearing body are made of rubber, which can increase the friction between the shell and the ball. After the bearing shell and bearing body wear down, the rubber bearing shell and bearing body will also expand to fill the gap of wear, making them less prone to loosening.

[0015] 2. In this invention, the ball moves at an angle within a certain range within the bearing body. When the bearing body and the bearing housing bore are not concentric under external forces, it has rotation space at multiple angles, thereby decomposing and buffering stress and improving service life.

[0016] 3. In this invention, through the arrangement of a heating wire, a first metal sheet, a second metal sheet, a sliding rod, a spring, an elastic plate, and an airbag, at low temperatures, the water inside the airbag freezes, causing the airbag to expand and increase in volume, thereby deforming the elastic plate. The elastic plate drives the sliding rod to move, causing the first and second metal sheets to come into contact, thus energizing the heating wire connected in series with the first and second metal sheets and generating heat, thereby achieving an automatic defrosting effect, thus ensuring the normal adjustment of the monitoring equipment; after the water inside the airbag melts, the sliding rod returns to its original position under the action of the spring, the first and second metal sheets separate, and the heating wire is de-energized and stops working.

They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances. Example 1:

[0029] Please see Figure 1-5This invention provides a modular intelligent monitoring device, comprising: a monitoring camera 1, a rotating unit 2, a bearing assembly 3, and a heating assembly. The monitoring camera 1 is connected to the rotating unit. The rotating unit 2 includes a spherical shell 21 and a sphere 22, with the sphere 22 rotatably connected to the spherical shell 21. The bearing assembly 3 is disposed between the spherical shell 21 and the sphere 22. The bearing assembly 3 includes a bearing housing 31 and a bearing body 32. The inner ring of the bearing housing 31 has an annular spherical mounting groove 4. The outer ring of the bearing body 32 is a spherical sliding surface 5 that matches the shape of the spherical mounting groove 4. The middle part of the sliding surface 5 is embedded in the spherical mounting groove 4 and slides in cooperation with the spherical mounting groove 4. The heating assembly is disposed on the spherical shell 21.

[0030] Specifically, both the bearing housing 31 and the bearing body 32 are made of rubber.

[0031] Specifically, the monitoring camera 1 is provided with a first connecting rod 12, one end of the first connecting rod 12 is fixedly connected to the monitoring camera 1, and the other end of the first connecting rod 12 is fixedly connected to the sphere 22.

[0032] Specifically, a second connecting rod 13 is provided on the spherical shell 21, and a connecting block 14 is provided on the second connecting rod 13. The connecting block facilitates the connection of the driving device, thereby making it easy to drive the movement of the monitoring camera.

[0033] The second connecting rod 13 is a telescopic rod. Alternatively, the second connecting rod can be connected to a cylinder or hydraulic pump, and the cylinder or hydraulic pump can be used to move the second connecting rod to adjust its position.

[0034] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. In this invention, the rotation of the camera can be adjusted by setting the bearing shell and bearing body. The rotation between the bearing shell and bearing body can be achieved. At the same time, the bearing shell and bearing body are made of rubber, which can increase the friction between the shell and the ball. After the bearing shell and bearing body wear down, the rubber bearing shell and bearing body will also expand to fill the gap of wear, making them less prone to loosening.

[0035] 2. In this invention, the ball moves at an angle within a certain range within the bearing body. When the bearing body and the bearing housing bore are not concentric under external forces, it has rotation space at multiple angles, thereby decomposing and buffering stress and improving service life.

[0036] 3. In this invention, through the arrangement of a heating wire, a first metal sheet, a second metal sheet, a sliding rod, a spring, an elastic plate, and an airbag, at low temperatures, the water inside the airbag freezes, causing the airbag to expand and increase in volume, thereby deforming the elastic plate. The elastic plate drives the sliding rod to move, causing the first and second metal sheets to come into contact, thus energizing the heating wire connected in series with the first and second metal sheets and generating heat, thereby achieving an automatic defrosting effect, thus ensuring the normal adjustment of the monitoring equipment; after the water inside the airbag melts, the sliding rod returns to its original position under the action of the spring, the first and second metal sheets separate, and the heating wire is de-energized and stops working. Example 2:

[0037] See Figure 1-5 The figure shows a modular intelligent monitoring device provided by Embodiment 2 of the present invention. This embodiment further improves upon the previous embodiment by making the following technical improvements: The heating assembly includes a heating wire 6, a first metal sheet 7, a second metal sheet 8, and a driving component 9. The heating wire 6 is built into the spherical shell 21 and is arranged spirally from top to bottom along the circumference of the spherical shell 21. The first metal sheet 7 is fixedly connected to the spherical shell 21, and the second metal sheet 8 is located on one side of the first metal sheet 7 and connected to the driving component 9. When the driving component is working, it can drive the second metal sheet to move towards the first metal sheet. When the first and second metal sheets come into contact, the circuit of the heating wire is connected, thereby generating heat. Example 3:

[0038] See Figure 1-5 The figure shows a modular intelligent monitoring device provided by Embodiment 3 of the present invention. This embodiment further improves upon the previous embodiments by making the following technical solutions: The driving component 9 includes a slide rod 91, a spring 92, an elastic plate 93, and an airbag 94. The slide rod 91 is slidably connected to the spherical shell 21. The second metal sheet 8 is connected to the slide rod 91. The spring 92 passes through the slide rod 91. The elastic plate 93 is located at one end of the slide rod 91. A deformation space 10 is provided between the elastic plate 93 and the spherical shell 21. The airbag 94 abuts against the elastic plate 93, and a medium is provided inside the airbag 94. At low temperatures, the medium changes from a liquid to a solid state, increasing its volume, thereby causing the airbag to expand and press against the elastic plate, causing the elastic plate to bend towards the deformation space. This allows the slide rod to move while compressing the spring. Thus, the driving component can operate automatically in low-temperature weather, energizing the heating wire, while remaining inactive during non-icing periods, achieving automatic operation. Example 4:

[0039] See Figure 1-5The figure shows a modular intelligent monitoring device provided by Embodiment 4 of the present invention. Based on the above embodiments, this embodiment further improves upon the following technical solution: a heat-conducting plate 11 is provided on the airbag 94, one end of which contacts the medium, and the other end of which extends beyond the surface of the spherical shell 21. This allows the airbag to be concealed during installation, with heat transfer via the heat-conducting plate, without affecting the operation of the medium. Example 5:

[0040] See Figure 1-5 The figure shows a modular intelligent monitoring device provided by Embodiment 5 of the present invention. This embodiment further improves upon the above embodiments by employing the following technical solution: the medium is water or oil. Specifically, water is used as the medium, which is more compatible with the natural environment.

[0041] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
