[0032] Portable thermal imaging equipment is a device that is easy to carry and operate, and can be used to detect the temperature distribution and thermal characteristics of the surface of an object. When the surface temperature of an object is different from the ambient temperature, it will emit infrared radiation. At this time, the thermal imaging equipment can capture this radiation and convert it into electrical signals, which are then converted into visible thermal imaging images.

[0033] In the related art, thermal imaging equipment usually needs a long time to warm up before it can reach the working state, which is not suitable for quick use working scenes. At the same time, existing thermal imaging equipment can usually only output thermal imaging images based on infrared spectrum, and in some complex scenes, a single thermal imaging image can provide limited information.

[0034] In view of this, the present application proposes a portable intelligent dual-light source thermal imaging device, which is provided with a thermal imaging camera and a visible light camera, and can simultaneously collect thermal imaging images and visible light images, thereby providing rich information. In addition, when the user picks up the main body of the imaging device from the charging base, the thermal imaging camera can be immediately started, and the user does not need to manually turn on the thermal imaging camera, thereby reducing the user's waiting time and improving the user's experience.

[0035] In the examples of this application, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The portable intelligent dual-light source thermal imaging device 1 includes a main body 11, a thermal imaging camera 12, a visible light camera 13, a charging base 14, and a controller.

[0036] Wherein, the main body 11 is provided with a contact point 111 at the bottom;

[0037] A thermal imaging camera 12, arranged on the main body 11;

[0038] A visible light camera 13, arranged on the main body 11;

[0039] A spring pin 14 1 is disposed on the top of the charging base 14 , and the charging base 14 abuts against the main body 11 through the spring pin 14 1 and the contact point 111 ;

[0040] The controller is arranged inside the main body 11, and is electrically connected to the contact point 111, the thermal imaging camera 12 and the visible light camera 13 respectively. The controller is arranged to start the thermal imaging camera 12 when it is detected that the contact point 111 is disconnected from the spring pin 141.

[0041] The specific structure of the portable intelligent dual-light source thermal imaging device 1 is described below.

[0042] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in the embodiment of the present application, the main body 11 is used to carry other components of the portable intelligent dual-light source thermal imaging device 1, which can be made of sturdy and durable materials to ensure the stability and durability of the device. The shape of the main body 11 can be set as needed, for example, it can be set to a cubic shape. The contact point 111 is set at the bottom of the main body 11, and is used to establish an electrical connection with the spring pin 141 of the charging base 14. The contact point 111 can be made of a conductive material, which can stably and effectively transmit electrical energy and data signals.

[0043] The thermal imaging camera 12 can be used to capture and generate a thermal image of a target object. The thermal imaging camera 12 can sense the temperature distribution on the surface of an object and convert it into a visual image. It can provide temperature information in a variety of application scenarios, such as night monitoring, search and rescue operations, or medical diagnosis.

[0044] The visible light camera 13 can be used to capture and generate a conventional visible light image of a target object. The visible light camera 13 can capture details such as the shape, color, and movement of the object.

[0045] The charging base 14 can be used to provide electrical energy to the main body 11 and has other functions, such as data transmission or device fixing. A spring pin 141 is provided on the top of the charging base 14, and the spring pin 141 is used to dock with the contact point 111 at the bottom of the main body 11. Specifically, the spring pin 141 is a conductive pin that can be elastically retracted. When the charging base 14 is docked with the main body 11, the spring pin 141 will contact the contact point 111 to establish an electrical connection. The design of the spring pin 141 can ensure a certain degree of fault tolerance during the docking process, and even if the docking is not completely accurate, the stability of the electrical connection can be guaranteed.

[0046] The controller is the core control unit of the portable intelligent dual-light source thermal imaging device 1, which can be a microprocessor or a similar computing device, such as a microcontroller unit (MCU). The controller can receive and process signals from various components and perform corresponding operations. The controller is electrically connected to the contact point 111, the thermal imaging camera 12 and the visible light camera 13 respectively. When the controller detects that the contact point 111 is disconnected from the spring pin 141, that is, when the device body 11 is separated from the charging base 14 and enters an independent working state, it can immediately start the thermal imaging camera 12, and the user does not need to turn on the thermal imaging camera 12 again, thereby reducing the time required for preheating.

[0047] The technical solution of the present application is provided with a thermal imaging camera 12 and a visible light camera 13 on the main body 11, which can collect thermal imaging images and visible light images at the same time, thereby providing rich information. In addition, the technical solution of the present application sets a contact point 111 at the bottom of the main body 11, sets a spring pin 141 on the top of the electric base, and sets the controller to start the thermal imaging camera 12 when it is detected that the contact point 111 is disconnected from the spring pin 141. When the user picks up the main body 11 of the portable intelligent dual-light source thermal imaging device 1 from the charging base 14, the thermal imaging camera 12 can be started immediately, and the user does not need to manually turn on the thermal imaging camera 12, thereby reducing the user's waiting time and improving the user's experience.

[0048] In some specific embodiments of the present application, the portable intelligent dual-light source thermal imaging device 1 also includes a power supply, which is arranged inside the main body 11, and the power supply is electrically connected to the contact point 111, the thermal imaging camera 12, the visible light camera 13 and the controller respectively.

[0049] In the embodiment of the present application, the power supply is used to provide power for the portable intelligent dual-light source thermal imaging device 1, and specifically can be a rechargeable battery or battery pack. The power supply is arranged inside the main body 11, and can be electrically connected to the contact point 111, the thermal imaging camera 12, the visible light camera 13 and the controller through wires or other conductive materials, so as to provide stable power for these components so that they can work normally. When the device body 11 is placed on the charging base 14, the power supply can receive power from the charging base 14 through the contact point 111 and the spring pin 141 for charging, so that the portable intelligent dual-light source thermal imaging device 1 can be charged when not in use for subsequent use. In addition to being connected to the contact point 111, the power supply is also directly connected to the thermal imaging camera 12, the visible light camera 13 and the controller. In some scenarios, the power supply can not only provide power for these components, but also adjust the power supply to different components according to the instructions of the controller to optimize the performance and battery life of the device.

[0050] like Figure 2 As shown, in some more specific embodiments of the present application, the portable intelligent dual-light source thermal imaging device 1 further includes a touch screen 15, which is disposed on a side of the main body 11 and is electrically connected to a power source.

[0051] In an embodiment of the present application, the touch screen 15 can be arranged on the side of the main body 11, so that the user can more conveniently view and touch the screen 15 when operating the device without changing the overall orientation or direction of the device. The touch screen 15 can be electrically connected to the power supply to ensure that it can work normally when the device is turned on. The touch screen 15 can be used to display the status information, captured pictures or videos, setting menus, etc. of the portable intelligent dual-light source thermal imaging device 1. The user can operate the portable intelligent dual-light source thermal imaging device 1 through the touch screen 15, such as adjusting the shooting parameters of the camera, viewing playback, switching working modes, etc. Specifically, the touch screen 15 can adopt capacitive or resistive technology, depending on the application scenario of the device and the user interaction requirements. In addition, the drive and control software of the touch screen 15 also needs to be integrated and debugged with other parts of the device (such as the controller and power supply) to ensure a smooth user experience.

[0052] In some more specific embodiments of the present application, the portable intelligent dual-light source thermal imaging device 1 further includes a linear motor, which is disposed inside the main body 11 and is electrically connected to a power source.

[0053] In an embodiment of the present application, a linear motor may be disposed inside the main body 11 and electrically connected to a power source. The linear motor may be mainly used to generate a vibration effect, thereby alerting the user to changes in the state of the device (such as low battery, completion of shooting, etc.) or providing tactile feedback (such as providing vibration feedback when the user touches the touch screen 15). Specifically, the linear motor may generate a magnetic field by driving an internal electromagnetic coil through an electric current, thereby driving the mover to perform linear reciprocating motion. This motion may be converted into a vibration effect of the device. In order to achieve precise vibration control, the controller may send instructions to the linear motor to adjust its operating mode and intensity.

[0054] like Figure 1 As shown, in some more specific embodiments of the present application, a first charging port 112 is provided on the top or side of the main body 11, and the first charging port 112 is electrically connected to a power source.

[0055] In the embodiment of the present application, a first charging port 112 is provided on the top or side of the main body 11, which can be used to provide power to the portable intelligent dual-light source thermal imaging device 1. By providing the first charging port 112, the user can charge the device in a wired manner without relying on the charging base 14. Specifically, the first charging port 112 can use a standard USB interface or other types of interfaces, depending on the power demand and charging speed requirements of the device.

[0056] like Figure 1 As shown, in some more specific embodiments of the present application, an indicator light 113 is provided on the top or side of the main body 11, and the indicator light 113 is electrically connected to the controller and the power supply respectively.

[0057] In an embodiment of the present application, an indicator light 113 may be provided on the top or side of the main body 11 to display the status and notification information of the device. The indicator light 113 may include LED lights of different colors to indicate different states (such as charging, low power, normal operation, etc.). The indicator light 113 may be electrically connected to the controller and the power supply respectively, so that the controller can control the on and off and color change of the indicator light 113 according to the status of the device. Exemplarily, when the device is low in power, the controller may light up the red indicator light 113 to remind the user to charge; when the device is in normal working state, the green indicator light 113 may be lit to indicate that everything is normal. This visual feedback can help users better understand the status and operation of the device.

[0058] like Figure 1 As shown, in some specific embodiments of the present application, a function button 114 is provided on the top or side of the main body 11, and the function button 114 is electrically connected to the controller.

[0059] In an embodiment of the present application, the function button 114 can be set on the top or side of the main body 11, so that the user can conveniently perform manual operation and control the device. The function button 114 can be electrically connected to the controller. The user can trigger the controller to execute corresponding instructions by pressing different buttons, such as turning on / off the camera, switching shooting modes, adjusting parameters, etc. Specifically, the function button 114 can be a mechanical button or a touch button, depending on the overall design of the device and the user's interaction requirements. The trigger signal of the button will be transmitted to the controller, and the controller will perform the corresponding operation according to the preset program.

[0060] like Figure 1 As shown, in some specific embodiments of the present application, a second charging port 142 is provided on the charging base 14 , and the second charging port 142 is electrically connected to the spring pin 141 .

[0061] In the embodiment of the present application, a second charging port 142 may be provided on the charging base 14 to facilitate electrical connection with the contact point 111 of the portable intelligent dual-light source thermal imaging device 1, thereby providing power to the device. The second charging port 142 may use a standard USB interface or other types of charging interfaces, so that the user can conveniently power the charging base 14 through a charger or a mobile power supply. When the device is placed on the charging base 14, the spring pin 141 will be in close contact with the contact point 111, thereby charging the device through the second charging port 142.

[0062] In some embodiments of the present application, the thermal imaging camera 12 and the visible light camera 13 are both arranged on the same surface of the main body 11 .

[0063] like Figure 1 As shown, in the embodiment of the present application, the thermal imaging camera 12 and the visible light camera 13 are both arranged on the same surface of the main body 11, which helps to ensure that the two cameras have the same viewing angle and field of view when shooting, so as to facilitate the user to compare and analyze the thermal imaging and visible light images. Specifically, in actual implementation, the two cameras can be accurately mounted on the same surface of the main body 11 through a bracket or a fixing device to ensure the consistency of their relative positions and angles.

[0064] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, there are multiple spring pins 141 , and the number of contact points 111 corresponds to the number of spring pins 141 .

[0065] In the embodiment of the present application, the number of the spring pins 14 1 can be multiple, and the number of the contact points 11 1 corresponds to the number of the spring pins 14 1. By providing multiple spring pins 14 1, it can be ensured that when the device body 1 1 is placed on the charging base 1 4, multiple contact points 11 1 can be electrically connected, thereby improving the stability and efficiency of charging.
