Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of cameras, in particular to a crane camera. Background Art

[0002] Cranes are a type of lifting and handling machinery that is widely used in ports, workshops, power plants, construction sites, and other places. When the relative height between the crane hook and the object being lifted is very large, the crane operator often cannot see the hook operation due to the obstruction of various obstacles, and needs a ground guide to direct the operation, which brings great inconvenience and danger to the crane operation. With the development and popularization of cameras, more and more cranes are also equipped with cameras, which guide the crane driver to operate through the camera shooting pictures, so that the crane operator will be able to perform lifting operations more conveniently and safely. The current camera mainly includes a base fixed on the boom, ball bearings are installed in the mounting holes of the two side plates of the base, and the rotating shaft passes through the ball bearings in the mounting holes of the two side plates of the base, and is installed in the ball bearings through clearance fit, and then the camera body is fixed on the rotating shaft between the two side plates of the base. In order to prevent the camera body and the rotating shaft from rotating on the ball bearings when the crane is operating, the existing technology is to install a damper on the rotating shaft of the outer plate of the base, and limit the rotation of the rotating shaft relative to the ball bearings through the damper, thereby preventing the camera body from rotating on the ball bearings with the rotating shaft when the crane is operating, so that the picture taken by the camera is prone to shaking and becoming blurred, resulting in slow operation or even failure to operate smoothly. However, the rotating shaft is installed in the ball bearings through clearance fit, and there is a risk of the camera body and the rotating shaft falling off in the axial direction when the crane is operating.
