[0025] Example 1

[0026] like Figure 1 , Fig. 9 As shown, a 3D camera with an explosion-proof structure includes a shell 1, an upper cover 2, a camera and a laser. The shell 1 is set as a three-dimensional frame, the upper side of the three-dimensional frame is an opening, and the upper cover 2 is located at the opening. The shell 1 and the upper cover 2 are made of high-strength aluminum alloy, and the thickness of the aluminum alloy is at least 9mm. The optical system composed of an industrial camera 8 and a line laser 7 is located inside the shell 1. For details, refer to the attached Fig. 9 It can be seen that there is an industrial camera 8 on each side. The industrial camera 8 is first connected and fixed to the camera adapter plate. After fixation, the camera adapter plate is fixed to the shell 1 by multiple screws. The mounting surfaces between the industrial camera 8 and the camera adapter plate and between the camera adapter plate and the shell 1 must be coated with thermal grease so that the heat of the camera can be directed to the shell. The line laser 7 is set in the middle, and the line laser it emits is a line laser. The line laser 7 can be controlled to deflect at equal angles to the left and right through the operation of the motor. In this way, the line laser 7 scans the object to be measured, and the scanning data is captured by the left and right industrial cameras 8. After internal algorithm processing, the three-dimensional point cloud data of the scanned object can be generated on the PC side. An MCU board 6 is also provided on the inner side of the shell 1.

[0027] like Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, in order to prevent combustibles from entering the shell body 1, an annular groove 11 is provided at the upper end of the shell body 1, a sealing strip is provided at the bottom of the annular groove 11, and an annular baffle 21 is fixedly provided on the lower side of the upper cover 2, and is fixedly connected to the shell body 1 under the action of connecting bolts. At this time, the annular baffle 21 is inserted into the annular groove 11 and squeezes the sealing strip. Through the deformation of the sealing strip, the shell body 1 and the upper cover 2 are sealed and connected, which preliminarily prevents combustible gas from entering the shell body 1.

[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, in order for the industrial camera and laser to work properly, a second visual window 14 and two first visual windows 13 are provided on the front side of the housing 1. The two first visual windows 13 are respectively located on both sides of the second visual window 14.

Thickened anti-reflection tempered glass is provided at the visual windows, and the tempered glass is connected to the housing 1 through black high-viscosity double-sided adhesive tape. A metal cover is added on the outside to fix the tempered glass. The metal cover is connected to the housing 1 through connecting bolts. Therefore, a sealing effect is achieved at the window, and combustibles are prevented from entering the housing 1 again. The camera and the laser are directly opposite to the department windows, which facilitates camera imaging and laser emission. Because thickened anti-reflection tempered glass is provided, the strength of the tempered glass can meet the requirements.

[0029] In order to prevent combustibles from entering the shell 1 through the wire hole 12 of the shell 1, a sealing device is provided at the wire hole 12, and the sealing device can be set as an explosion-proof gland 5, that is, the cable connecting the optical system and the external power supply is sealed by the explosion-proof gland 5 when passing through the wire hole 12, thereby once again preventing combustibles from entering the shell 1, and effectively reducing the probability of external explosion caused by internal deflagration of the equipment.

[0030] Example 2

[0031] like Figure 1 , Fig. 9 As shown, a 3D camera with an explosion-proof structure includes a shell 1, an upper cover 2, a camera and a laser.

The shell 1 and the upper cover 2 are made of high-strength aluminum alloy, and the thickness of the aluminum alloy is at least 9mm. The optical system composed of an industrial camera 8 and a line laser 7 is located inside the shell 1. For details, refer to the attached Fig. 9It can be seen that there is an industrial camera 8 on each side. The industrial camera 8 is first connected and fixed to the camera adapter plate. After fixation, the camera adapter plate is fixed to the shell 1 by multiple screws. The mounting surfaces between the industrial camera 8 and the camera adapter plate and between the camera adapter plate and the shell 1 must be coated with thermal grease so that the heat of the camera can be directed to the shell. The line laser 7 is set in the middle, and the line laser it emits is a line laser. The line laser 7 can be controlled to deflect at equal angles to the left and right through the operation of the motor. In this way, the line laser 7 scans the object to be measured, and the scanning data is captured by the left and right industrial cameras 8. After being processed by the internal algorithm, the three-dimensional point cloud data of the scanned object can be generated on the PC.

[0032] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, in order to prevent combustibles from entering the shell body 1, an annular groove 11 is provided at the upper end of the shell body 1, a sealing strip is provided at the bottom of the annular groove 11, and an annular baffle 21 is fixedly provided on the lower side of the upper cover 2, and is fixedly connected to the shell body 1 under the action of connecting bolts. At this time, the annular baffle 21 is inserted into the annular groove 11 and squeezes the sealing strip. Through the deformation of the sealing strip, the shell body 1 and the upper cover 2 are sealed and connected, which preliminarily prevents combustible gas from entering the shell body 1.

[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, in order for the industrial camera and laser to work properly, a second visual window 14 and two first visual windows 13 are provided on the front side of the housing 1. The two first visual windows 13 are respectively located on both sides of the second visual window 14. The first visual window 13 is directly opposite to the camera, and the second visual window 14 is directly opposite to the laser. Thickened anti-reflection tempered glass is provided at the visual windows, and the tempered glass is connected to the housing 1 through black high-viscosity double-sided adhesive tape. A metal cover is added on the outside to fix the tempered glass. The metal cover is connected to the housing 1 through connecting bolts. Therefore, a sealing effect is achieved at the window, and combustibles are prevented from entering the housing 1 again. The camera and the laser are directly opposite to the department windows, which facilitates camera imaging and laser emission. Because thickened anti-reflection tempered glass is provided, the strength of the tempered glass can meet the requirements.

[0034] like Figure 4 , Figure 5As shown, in order to prevent combustibles from entering the housing 1 through the threading hole 12 of the housing 1, a sealing device is provided at the threading hole 12, and the sealing device can be set as a limiting sealing assembly 3, which includes a pressure plate 31, a sealing pad 32 and a fastening bolt 33. A connecting pipe 34 is fixedly provided on the side of the pressure plate 31, and the fastening bolt 33 is set through the connecting pipe 34, and the sealing pad 32 is fitted on the pressure plate 31. At the same time, a thread groove 15 is provided on the side of the threading hole 12, and the pressure plate 31 and the sealing pad 32 are arranged opposite to the threading hole 12, and the size is larger than the diameter of the threading hole 12. The end of the fastening bolt 33 is threadedly inserted into the thread groove 15. With this arrangement, after the cable passes through the threading hole 12, by rotating the fastening bolt 33, the pressure plate 31 is forced to move and squeeze the sealing pad 32, so that the sealing pad 32 is deformed and squeezes the cable, so as to achieve the setting of the cable bending and fitting the side wall of the housing 1. Because the sealing gasket 32 ​​is deformed and its size is larger than the diameter of the threading hole 12, the threading hole 12 can be effectively blocked, once again preventing combustibles from entering the housing 1, effectively reducing the probability of external explosion caused by internal deflagration of the equipment.
