Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of camera equipment, and more specifically to a dual-lens waterproof panoramic camera. Background Art

[0002] In the early days, in order to obtain a panoramic image, the camera had to be rotated around in a similar scanning manner to record a 360° panoramic image in a horizontal circle. With the development of camera technology, some existing panoramic cameras use two ultra-wide-angle lenses to achieve panoramic capture. This dual-lens panoramic camera has a compact structure, is easy to carry, and is easy to use. However, the waterproof design of the existing dual-lens panoramic camera at the lens is relatively thin, and most of them do not have an external waterproof structure to prevent water from entering the lens. The waterproof performance is poor, especially when used in a humid environment or in water-related occasions, the lens is easily infiltrated with water vapor, which is easy to affect the shooting effect. In severe cases, the camera may be damaged, resulting in certain limitations in its application areas due to its waterproof performance, and therefore, it is urgently needed to be improved.

[0023] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the utility model clearer, the following will be described clearly and completely in combination with the technical solution in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are partial embodiments of the utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the protection scope of the utility model.

[0024] The utility model is implemented as follows Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the figure, a dual-lens waterproof panoramic camera includes a housing 1, on which are disposed two ultra-wide-angle lenses 2, with the mirror surfaces of the two ultra-wide-angle lenses 2 facing away from each other; the housing 1 is provided with an annular protrusion 3 at positions close to the two ultra-wide-angle lenses 2, respectively, and the two annular protrusions 3 are fixedly sleeved on the outer peripheral side wall of the housing 1; the two annular protrusions 3 are respectively detachably connected with a transparent cover body 4, and the two transparent cover bodies 4 cover the two ultra-wide-angle lenses 2 therein accordingly.

[0025] Specifically, in this embodiment, the transparent cover body 4 includes a hemispherical transparent cover shell 41 and a transparent ring plate 42 arranged around the edge of the transparent cover shell 41, and the transparent ring plate 42 is threadedly fastened to the annular protrusion 3. The transparent ring plate 42 and the transparent cover shell 41 are an integrally formed connection structure. The interior of the transparent cover shell 41 is hollow, and one end of the transparent cover shell 41 connected to the transparent ring plate 42 has an opening, one end of the transparent ring plate 42 is connected to the edge of the opening, and the other end of the transparent ring plate 42 extends horizontally in a direction away from the transparent cover shell 41.

[0026] The transparent ring plate 42 is in the shape of a cylinder with a hollow interior and two ends connected, for example, a structure formed by bending a rectangular plate along a circumference. The interior of the transparent cover 41 is connected to the interior of the transparent ring plate 42. The transparent ring plate 42 is used to be installed on the housing 1 and surround a part of the housing 1 therein. The transparent cover 41 is used to protect the ultra-wide-angle lens 2 so that the ultra-wide-angle lens 2 is surrounded therein. Among them, the inner peripheral side wall of the transparent ring plate 42 is provided with an internal thread 420, and the outer peripheral side wall of the annular protrusion 3 is provided with an external thread 301 that is threadedly matched with the internal thread 420. Through the threaded matching connection of the internal thread 420 and the external thread 301, the transparent cover body 4 can be detachably installed on the housing 1 and protect the ultra-wide-angle lens 2. The installation is stable and it is not easy to affect the viewing angle of the ultra-wide-angle lens 2.

[0027] In order to ensure that the transparent ring plate 42 and the transparent cover shell 41 are stably installed in place, in this embodiment, an annular baffle 421 is provided on the inner peripheral side wall of the transparent ring plate 42, which is relatively perpendicular to the inner peripheral side wall thereof. The annular baffle 421 is located on the side of the internal thread 420 close to the transparent cover shell 41, and the outer peripheral side wall of the annular baffle 421 is integrally formed and connected with the inner peripheral side wall of the transparent ring plate 42. The middle part of the annular baffle 421 is hollow for the ultra-wide-angle lens 2 and part of the housing 1 to pass through. In the process of threaded connection between the transparent ring plate 42 and the annular protrusion 3 through the internal thread 420 and the external thread 301, the risk of the transparent ring plate 42 driving the transparent cover shell 41 to press against the ultra-wide-angle lens 2 due to excessive movement is avoided, and the installation protection and stable installation are played a role. When one side of the annular protrusion 3 presses against the annular baffle 421, it means that the thread is in place. At the same time, because one side of the annular protrusion 3 presses against the annular baffle 421, it plays a role of blocking and waterproofing.

[0028] In order to further improve the waterproof performance of the transparent cover body 4, in this embodiment, an annular sealing ring 422 is provided on one side wall of the annular baffle 421 facing the internal thread 420, and the annular sealing ring 422 is glued to the annular baffle 421 by a waterproof adhesive. Specifically, the side of the annular sealing ring 422 facing the annular baffle 421 is coated with a waterproof adhesive, and a waterproof adhesive layer is formed between the annular sealing ring 422 and the annular baffle 421 by the waterproof adhesive. The outer peripheral side wall of the annular sealing ring 422 is tightly fitted on the inner peripheral side wall of the transparent ring plate 42. After the transparent ring plate 42 and the annular protrusion 3 are threadedly connected in place through the internal thread 420 and the external thread 301, one side of the annular protrusion 3 is pressed against the annular sealing ring 422 to form a tightly fitting abutting structure with a better sealing effect. The shape and size of the annular sealing ring 422 are consistent with those of the annular baffle 421, and the middle part of the annular sealing ring 422 is also hollow to allow the ultra-wide-angle lens 2 and part of the housing 1 to pass through.

[0029] In this embodiment, the annular sealing ring 422 is an annular silicone ring. The sealing ring made of silicone material will not break due to frequent deformation, and can quickly return to its original shape after deformation, and has a good waterproof effect.

[0030] In order to ensure the stability when installing the transparent ring plate 42, in this embodiment, a plurality of hemispherical anti-skid protrusions 423 are distributed on the outer peripheral side wall of the transparent ring plate 42, which can prevent the hand from slipping during installation. Among them, the plurality of anti-skid protrusions 423 are integrally formed with the transparent ring plate 42 as a connection structure.

[0031] In this embodiment, the two annular protrusions 3 and the housing 1 are also an integrally formed connection structure.

[0032] It should be noted that if other optical components matching the corresponding ultra-wide-angle lens 2 to control imaging are required to be provided inside the casing 1 of this embodiment, in practical applications, any existing suitable optical components may be used, and this embodiment does not make any improvements or specific limitations thereto.

[0033] If a button is required to be provided on the housing 1, the button can be provided at any suitable position on the housing 1, such as providing the button at a corresponding position on the housing 1 that is surrounded by the transparent cover 4, so as to provide a certain waterproof effect on the button. Alternatively, the button can be provided at other positions on the housing 1 that are not surrounded by the transparent cover 4. In this case, the waterproof layout of the button can refer to the prior art, and is not specifically limited here. It needs to be designed and selected according to the actual application requirements. The structures shown in the drawings are only examples, and should be subject to actual application.

[0034] It should be understood that ordinary technical workers in the field can make improvements or changes based on the above description, and all these improvements and changes should fall within the scope of protection of the claims attached to the utility model.
