[0032] The lantern-type camera 100 includes a support member 110, a rotating drive member 130, an illuminating member 140 and an image acquisition member 150; wherein the illuminating member 140 and the rotating drive member 130 are both connected to the support member 110, the image acquisition member 150 is connected to the rotating drive member 130, and the rotating drive member 130 is used to drive the image acquisition member 150 to rotate relative to the support member 110.

[0033] The lantern-type camera 100 realizes lighting operation by the lighting component 140, realizes image acquisition operation by the image acquisition component 150, and the rotating driving component 130 is used to drive the image acquisition component 150 to rotate so as to obtain image information within a larger field of view. The lantern-type camera 100 can realize one-time installation of the lighting component 140 and the image acquisition component 150 by integrating the lighting component 140 and the image acquisition component 150, thereby reducing the occupied space, simplifying the installation steps, and improving the installation efficiency.

[0034] In this embodiment, the lighting component 140 is connected to the lower side of the support component 110, and the image acquisition component 150 is located on the upper side of the support component 110. During installation, the lantern-type camera 100 has a certain installation height. By limiting the height of the lighting component 140 to be lower, the lighting component 140 can provide better lighting effects. The image acquisition clarity of the image acquisition component 150 is mainly determined by pixels. The height difference caused by the image acquisition component 150 being located on the upper or lower side of the support component 110 can have a negligible effect on the acquisition clarity.

[0035] It is worth noting that the lighting component 140 and the image acquisition component 150 can be controlled on and off by different switches, so that when the lighting component 140 is turned off, it will not affect the image acquisition component 150, and the image acquisition component 150 can perform image acquisition operations as usual.

[0036] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The lighting component 140 includes a lamp frame 141 , a lamp shade 143 and a lamp body 142 . The lamp frame 141 is connected to the support 110 .

[0037] In the above technical solution, the lamp holder 141 is used to fix the lampshade 143 and the lamp body 142 . The lamp body 142 can be used as an illumination light source to emit light, and the lampshade 143 is used to shield and protect the lamp body 142 .

[0038] In addition, because the lamp holder 141 is a hollow structure with an open top, in order to prevent impurities or dust from entering the lampshade 143 from the top of the lamp holder 141 and affecting the lamp body 142, the lantern-type camera 100 may also include a sealing ring 160. The sealing ring 160 is sleeved on the outside of the hollow hole at the top of the lamp body 142, and the support member 110 is pressed against the upper side of the sealing ring 160, thereby playing a role in sealing, dustproofing and waterproofing.

[0039] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The support member 110 includes an upper bracket 111 and a lower bracket 112 connected to each other, the lighting member 140 is connected to the lower bracket 112, and the rotating driving member 130 is connected to the upper bracket 111; the lantern-type camera 100 also includes a power supply member 120, the power supply member 120 is connected to the upper bracket 111 and / or the lower bracket 112, and the power supply member 120 is electrically connected to the image acquisition member 150 and the rotating driving member 130 at the same time.

[0040] Specifically, the lamp holder 141 is connected to the lower side of the lower bracket 112 , and the power supply 120 includes an electrically connected mainboard 121 and a power transformer 122 , wherein the mainboard 121 is mounted on the upper bracket 111 , and the power transformer 122 is mounted on the lower bracket 112 .

[0041] In addition, the lantern-type camera 100 further includes a speaker 170 , which can be installed on one of the upper bracket 111 or the lower bracket 112 . The speaker 170 is electrically connected to the mainboard 121 , and is used to convert electrical signals into sound wave signals, thereby producing sound.

[0042] In this embodiment, the speaker 170 is installed on the upper bracket 111; of course, in other embodiments of the present invention, the speaker 170 can also be installed on other positions such as the lower bracket 112 or the lamp holder 141, and the specific setting position of the speaker 170 is not limited.

[0043] It is worth noting that a reset button is also provided on the back side of the rear shell 1521. The lantern-type camera 100 also includes a protective plug 180. The protective plug 180 is used to protect the reset button. When the button needs to be pressed, the protective plug 180 needs to be opened in advance; when the button does not need to be pressed, the protective plug 180 can be used to block it to avoid accidental touch.

[0044] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The rotating driving member 130 includes a driving motor 131, a bearing 132 and a bearing seat 133. The bearing seat 133 is connected to the support member 110 and is sleeved on the driving motor 131. The driving motor 131 is rotatably connected to the bearing seat 133. The driving motor 131 is used to drive the image acquisition member 150 to rotate relative to the support member 110.

[0045] Specifically, the bearing seat 133 is connected to the upper side of the upper bracket 111, and the driving motor 131 is electrically connected to the main board 121. The driving motor 131 is used to generate a rotational driving force to drive the image acquisition component 150 to rotate, thereby acquiring image information in a larger range.

[0046] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The image acquisition component 150 includes a collection body 151 and a collection shell 152 connected to each other. The collection body 151 is accommodated in the collection shell 152. The collection shell 152 is located on one side of the support component 110 and is connected to the rotating driving component 130.

[0047] In working state, the acquisition body 151 is used to obtain image acquisition information, and the acquisition shell 152 is used to shield and protect the acquisition body 151 to prevent external factors from easily having a negative impact on the acquisition body 151, which helps to ensure the operating stability of the acquisition body 151.

[0048] Specifically, the collection shell 152 includes a front cover body 1522 and a rear shell body 1521 that are detachably connected. The rear shell body 1521 is connected to the rotating drive member 130, and the collection body 151 is connected to the front cover body 1522. By making the front cover body 1522 and the rear shell body 1521 detachably connected, on the one hand, it is convenient to install and connect the collection body 151, and on the other hand, it can reduce the manufacturing cost. When one of the front cover body 1522 and the rear shell body 1521 is damaged, there is no need to replace the entire collection shell 152.

[0049] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In order to improve the positioning stability, a support platform 1523 can be formed on the front cover 1522, and a bearing column 1511 can be formed on the collecting body 151. The bearing column 1511 is supported on the support platform 1523. It can be understood that the collecting body 151 is pressed against the support platform 1523 by the bearing column 1511 under the influence of its own gravity.

[0050] Furthermore, a groove 1524 may be formed on the top surface of the support platform 1523 , and at least a portion of the supporting column 1511 may be accommodated in the groove 1524 . The groove 1524 may further enhance the limiting effect on the supporting column 1511 , thereby preventing the supporting column 1511 from easily detaching from the support platform 1523 .

[0051] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The collection shell 152 can also include a limiting buckle 1525, which cooperates with the support platform 1523 and is used to limit the supporting column 1511. The limiting buckle 1525 is used to cover the upper side of the supporting column 1511, and then the supporting column 1511 is covered between the limiting buckle 1525 and the support platform 1523, so as to better ensure the relative position stability of the collection body 151.

[0052] In summary, the lantern-type camera 100 provided in the embodiment of the present utility model has at least the following advantages:

[0053] (1) The lantern-type camera 100 integrates the lighting component 140 and the image acquisition component 150 to achieve one-time installation of the lighting component 140 and the image acquisition component 150, thereby reducing the occupied space, simplifying the installation steps, and improving the installation efficiency.

[0054] (2) The illumination image acquisition device is easy to assemble. The support member 110 plays a supporting and fixing role, and the illumination member 140, the rotation driving member 130 and the image acquisition member 150 can be installed separately.

[0055] (3) The image acquisition component 150 and the lighting component 140 can be controlled by different switches, so that when the lighting component 140 is turned off, the image acquisition operation of the image acquisition component 150 will not be affected.

[0056] The above is only a specific implementation of the utility model, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited thereto.
