[0033] Reference below Figures 1 to 5 The industrial camera and production equipment of the utility model are described in detail.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 According to an embodiment of the utility model, the industrial camera includes a lens module 100 and a display module 200.

[0035] The lens assembly 110 is arranged on one side of the first circuit board 120 and is electrically connected to the first circuit board 120; the display module 200 is arranged on one side of the lens module 100, and the display module 200 includes a display component 210 and a second circuit board 220. The display component 210 is arranged on one side of the second circuit board and is electrically connected to the second circuit board 220. The second circuit board 220 is electrically connected to one end of the first circuit board 120 through a plug-in structure, and the second circuit board 220 and the first circuit board 120 are spaced apart by a certain angle.

[0036] For example, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the industrial camera includes a lens module 100 and a display module 200, the lens module 100 includes a lens assembly 110, a first circuit board 120 and a first body 130, the lens assembly 110 is connected to the front end of the first body 130, the first circuit board 120 is connected to the rear end of the first body 130, and the lens assembly 110 is electrically connected to the first circuit board 120, the display module 200 is arranged on the upper side of the lens module 100, the display module 200 includes a display component 210 and a second circuit board 220, the display component 210 is arranged above the second circuit board 220, and is electrically connected to the second circuit board 220; the first circuit board 120 and the second circuit board 220 are arranged vertically, the plug-in structure includes a plug and a socket, the plug is arranged on the second circuit board 220, the socket is arranged on the first circuit board 120, and the plug is inserted into the socket to realize the plug-in connection between the first circuit board 120 and the second circuit board 220, and the first circuit board 120 and the second circuit board 220 are electrically connected through the plug-in structure. It can be understood that when the industrial camera of the present application is working, the first circuit board 120 can control the lens assembly 110 to obtain visual information of the workpiece, and transmit the obtained visual information to the second circuit board 220, and then the second circuit board 220 can control the display assembly 210 to display the visual information, so that when the industrial camera of the present application is applied to production equipment, the staff can understand the detection status of the workpiece in real time, so that the staff can debug the production equipment; it can be understood that the first circuit board 120 and the second circuit board 220 are arranged vertically, so that the end surface of the first circuit board 120 has enough space to install the lens assembly 110, and the end surface of the second circuit board 220 has enough space to install the display assembly 210, and at the same time, the first circuit board 120 and the second circuit board 220 can be plugged in and out of each other and electrically connected, thereby reducing the probability of poor contact between the first circuit board 120 and the second circuit board 220 due to the use of soft cables.

[0037] In some embodiments of the present invention, the industrial camera further includes an interface module 300, the interface module 300 includes an interface component 310, a third circuit board 320, a first flexible flat cable 330 and a second body 340, the interface component 310 and the third circuit board 320 are both arranged on the second body 340, and the second body 340 is detachably connected to the first body 130, the interface component 310 is electrically connected to the third circuit board 320, and the third circuit board 320 is electrically connected to an end of the first circuit board 120 away from the second circuit board 220 through the first flexible flat cable 330. For example, Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the industrial camera also includes an interface module 300, which is arranged on the rear side of the lens module 100, and the display module 200 is located on the common upper side of the interface module 300 and the lens module 100; the interface module 300 includes an interface component 310, a third circuit board 320 and a first flexible flat cable 330, the interface component 310 is arranged on the rear side of the third circuit board 320, and is electrically connected to the third circuit board 320, the third circuit board 320 and the first circuit board 120 are vertically arranged, the interface component 310 can be electrically connected to an external power supply, and the first circuit board 120 and the third circuit board 320 are electrically connected through the first flexible flat cable 330. It is understandable that the second circuit board 220 not only needs to control the display module 200, but also needs to process the detection information transmitted by the lens module 100. Therefore, the first circuit board 120 has more integrated electrical components than the second circuit board 220 and the third circuit board 320. Correspondingly, the volume of the first circuit board 120 is also larger than that of the second circuit board 220 and the third circuit board 320. By arranging the third circuit board 320 and the first circuit board 120 perpendicularly to each other, the length of the first flexible flat cable 330 can be reduced, and the cost can be reduced, thereby avoiding the problem of excessive crowding of the internal space of the industrial camera of the present application due to the excessive length of the first flexible flat cable 330.

[0038] For further reference, Figure 5 The first flexible flat cable 330 includes a first connecting section 331, a second connecting section 332 and a bending section 333. The first connecting section 331 is electrically connected to the first circuit board 120, the second connecting section 332 is electrically connected to the third circuit board 320, the bending section 333 is bent, and both ends of the bending section 333 are respectively electrically connected to the first connecting section 331 and the second connecting section 332. It can be understood that by providing the bending section 333, when the relative position between the first circuit board 120 and the third circuit board 320 changes, the first circuit board 120 and the third circuit board 320 can still maintain a stable electrical connection.

[0039] For further reference, Figure 2 and Figure 3The industrial camera also includes a support structure 400, and the bending section 333 is carried on the support structure 400. It is understandable that the bending section 333 will sag downward due to its own gravity. At this time, the bending section 333 will pull the first connecting section 331 and the second connecting section 332 downward, and during the use of the industrial camera of the present application, the position of the industrial camera will change. When the industrial camera moves, the bending section 333 will shake inside the industrial camera, thereby making the problem of the bending section 333 pulling the first connecting section 331 and the second connecting section 332 downward more serious, causing the electrical connection between the first connecting section 331 and the first circuit board 120 to be affected. Looseness, and / or, the electrical connection between the second connecting section 332 and the third circuit board 320 becomes loose, affecting the normal operation of the industrial camera of the present application; by setting up the support structure 400, the support structure 400 can support the bending section 333, thereby reducing the influence of the bending section 333 on the first connecting section 331 and the second connecting section 332, so that in the industrial camera of the present application, the electrical connection between the first connecting section 331 and the first circuit board 120 is more stable, and the electrical connection between the second connecting section 332 and the third circuit board 320 is more stable.

[0040] Specifically, refer to Figure 5 The support structure 400 includes a first support member 410 and a second support member 420, the first support member 410 and the second support member 420 are detachably connected, the first support member 410 includes a first limiting portion 411 and a first connecting portion 412, the first connecting portion 412 can be detachably connected to the lens module 100, the first limiting portion 411 extends in the left-right direction, and the left end of the first limiting portion 411 is connected to the right end of the first connecting portion 412, the second support member 420 includes a second connecting portion 42 1 and two second limiting portions 422, the two second limiting portions 422 are respectively connected to the front and rear ends of the second connecting portion 421, and the two second limiting portions 422 extend in the left and right directions, the first limiting portion 411 is detachably connected to the second connecting portion 421, and the two second limiting portions 422 are respectively located at the front and rear sides of the first limiting portion 411, and a channel for allowing the bending section 333 of the first flexible flat cable 330 to pass through is formed between the two second limiting portions 422 and the first limiting portion 411.

[0041] In some embodiments of the present invention, the lens module 100 includes a light shielding ring 111, a filter 112 and a gasket 113. The light shielding ring 111 and the gasket 113 are detachably connected, and an installation cavity is formed between the light shielding ring 111 and the gasket 113. The filter 112 is arranged in the installation cavity. Figure 3As shown, the lens module 100 includes a light shielding ring 111, a filter 112 and a gasket 113, and the light shielding ring 111, the filter 112 and the gasket 113 are arranged in sequence from the front to the back, and the gasket 113 is detachably connected to the light shielding ring 111, and an installation cavity is formed between the gasket 113 and the light shielding ring 111, and the filter 112 is arranged in the installation cavity. It can be understood that the installation cavity is formed between the gasket 113 and the light shielding ring 111, and the filter 112 is arranged in the installation cavity, so that the filter 112 can be directly limited and fixed by the gasket 113 and the light shielding ring 111, and it can be avoided to open a mounting hole on the filter 112, thereby ensuring that the filter 112 works in a better state.

[0042] Specifically, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , a mounting groove 111a is provided on one side of the light shielding ring 111 close to the gasket 113, and the optical filter 112 is accommodated in the mounting groove 111a, and a mounting cavity is formed around the groove wall of the mounting groove 111a and the light shielding ring 111. It can be understood that the setting of the mounting groove 111a enables the optical filter 112 to be accommodated in the mounting groove 111a, thereby reducing the squeezing of the optical filter 112 by the gasket 113 and the light shielding ring 111, thereby reducing the deformation of the optical filter 112 itself, and further ensuring that the optical filter 112 works in a better state.

[0043] In some embodiments of the present invention, the display assembly 210 includes a support plate 211, a display screen 212 and a second flexible flat cable 213. The display screen 212 is electrically connected to a second circuit board 220 via the second flexible flat cable 213. The display screen 212 and the second circuit board 220 are respectively mounted on two opposite sides of the support plate 211. For example, Figure 3 As shown, the display assembly 210 includes a support plate 211 and a display screen 212, the display screen 212 is mounted on the upper end of the support plate 211, the second circuit board 220 is mounted on the lower end of the support plate 211, and the display screen 212 and the second circuit board 220 are electrically connected via a second flexible flat cable 213. It can be understood that the first circuit board 120 can be plugged and unplugged with the second circuit board 220, and the second circuit board 220 and the display screen 212 are both mounted on the support plate 211, and thus the setting of the support plate 211 can achieve the installation and fixation of the display screen 212.

[0044] Furthermore, the display assembly 210 further includes a screen cover 214 and a glass cover 215. The screen cover 214 is provided with an observation port, the glass cover 215 is provided at the observation port, the screen cover 214 is detachably connected to the side of the support plate 211 away from the second circuit board 220, and a limited position area is formed between the screen cover 214 and the support plate 211, the display screen 212 is accommodated in the limited position area, and the observation port faces the display screen 212. For example, Figure 3As shown, the display assembly 210 also includes a screen cover 214 and a glass cover 215. An observation port is provided in the middle of the screen cover 214. The glass cover 215 is provided on the screen cover 214, and the glass cover 215 completely covers the observation port. The screen cover 214 is provided above the display screen 212, and the screen cover 214 is detachably connected to the support plate 211 through a threaded connector. A limited position area is formed between the screen cover 214 and the support plate 211, and the display screen 212 is accommodated in the limited position area. It can be understood that the screen cover 214 and the support plate 211 can cooperate to limit and fix the display screen 212, and the screen cover 214 is directly connected to the support plate 211, so that it is possible to avoid opening a mounting hole on the display screen 212, so that the display screen 212 can work in a better state.

[0045] Furthermore, a plurality of protrusions 211a are provided on one side of the support plate 211 close to the display screen 212, and the plurality of protrusions 211a are spaced apart around the display screen 212, and the screen cover 214 is detachably connected to the protrusions 211a.

Furthermore, the screen cover plate 214 and the support plate 211 can cooperate with each other to limit the display screen 212 in the vertical direction, and each protrusion 211a can cooperate with each other to limit the display screen 212 in the horizontal direction. It can be understood that the provision of the protrusion 211a enables the display screen 212 to be fixed in the limiting area while reducing the squeezing of the screen cover plate 214 on the display screen 212, so that the display screen 212 can work in a better state, and the service life of the display screen 212 is extended.
