Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cameras, in particular to a filter switcher with good impact resistance. Background Art

[0002] The IR CUT (dual filter) spring assembly is a component installed in the IR CUT. It is an auxiliary tool for switching the IR CUT (filter). It is suitable for security surveillance cameras with this type of IR-CUT. At present, this type of IR-CUT dual filter means that a set of filters is built into the camera lens group. When the infrared sensing point outside the lens detects the change in the intensity of the light, the built-in IR-CUT can automatically switch the filter according to the intensity of the external light by the motor switching, so that the image can achieve the best effect. In other words, the filter can automatically switch the filter during the day or at night, so that the best imaging effect can be obtained regardless of whether it is day or night.

[0003] However, in the current multi-filter assembly, such as the filter switcher [CN220137532U] previously applied by the patentee, the lens tray adopts a driving mode of sliding back and forth by rotating the spiral member on the motor, and because the end of the lens tray close to the first guide member is not well guided and limited, it is only achieved by slightly clamping the first guide member by a first engaging member bent on the tray. This clamping and guiding method has a large gap in the length square of the first engaging member, which will cause the tray to shake during the reciprocating motion switching process, and the anti-vibration effect is poor. Therefore, we further propose a filter switching device with good stability. Utility Model Content

[0027] 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.

[0028] The filter switcher of the preferred embodiment of the utility model has good impact resistance, such as Figure 1-6As shown, the switch includes a base 10, a filter tray 20, and a driving mechanism 30 for driving the filter tray 20 to move forward and backward. The base 10 is circular, and the filter tray 20 is rectangular and arranged front to back, so as to facilitate the installation of multiple filters. Generally, at least two filters 200 arranged side by side front to back are arranged on the lens tray. A guide slot 40 is provided on the upper surface of the base 10 for the filter tray 20 to slide forward and backward. The left and right widths of the guide slot 40 are adapted to the left and right widths of the filter tray 20. Limiting protrusions 50 are provided on the left and right side walls of the guide slot 40. The upper surface of the filter tray 20 is slidably fitted with the limiting protrusions 50 to play the role of limiting and guiding the filter tray 20. In order to further improve the smoothness and wear resistance of the sliding of the filter tray 20, a Teflon coating can be added to the outer side of the filter tray 20 and the outer side of the limiting protrusion 50.

[0029] Furthermore, a receiving groove 60 and a first light-transmitting opening 70 are sequentially arranged on the bottom surface of the guide slide groove 40, and the front end of the filter tray 20 is directly opposite to the first light-transmitting opening 70 in the initial state. The driving mechanism 30 is arranged in the receiving groove 60, and the driving mechanism 30 includes a horizontally arranged swing arm 31, and a swing assembly 32 that drives one end of the swing arm 31 to swing forward and backward. A limit column 311 is vertically arranged on the swing end of the swing arm 31, and a through hole 21 adapted to the limit column 311 is arranged on the filter tray 20. The through hole 21 is in a long strip shape and arranged in the left and right direction to avoid the left and right movement of the limit column 311. The front and rear inner walls of the through hole 21 are both provided with positioning grooves 210 for positioning the limit column 311, which can position the limit column 311 after the filter tray 20 moves forward and backward into position. The filter tray 20 can be moved forward and backward by swinging the swing arm 31 forward and backward, so that the filters arranged front and back on the filter tray 20 can respectively face the first light-transmitting port 70, thereby realizing filter switching. The overall structure is simple and compact. The cooperation of the guide slide groove 40 and the limiting protrusion 50 can greatly improve the shock resistance of the filter tray 20, providing a strong guarantee for the switching of the filters. In addition, the cooperation of the two positioning grooves 210 and the limiting column 311 can play a role in positioning the filter tray 20 when it moves into place, thereby preventing the filter tray 20 from shaking, and further improving the stability and anti-interference of the switcher.

[0030] In this embodiment, a stop position 80 for the swing arm 31 to stop is provided at the left end of the through hole 21, and the front and rear positioning grooves 210 are respectively located on the right and left sides of the stop position 80, so that when the filter tray 20 moves backward into position, it is positioned by the positioning groove 210 on the left side of the stop position 80, and when the filter tray 20 moves forward into position, it can be positioned by the positioning groove 210 on the right side of the stop position 80, which can further effectively improve the stability of the filter tray 20.

[0031] In this embodiment, the upper surface of the swing arm 31 is flush with the bottom surface of the guide slot 40 to prevent the filter tray 20 from moving forward and backward. A first avoidance groove 90 is provided on the bottom surface of the guide slot 40 for the swing end of the swing arm 31 to swing in or out, so as to further reduce the front-to-back length of the overall structure, making the switcher more compact as a whole.

[0032] In this embodiment, the fixed end of the swing arm 31 is located at the left end of the accommodating groove 60, and the swing assembly 32 is located at the right end of the accommodating groove 60. The distance between the fixed end of the swing arm 31 and the rear inner wall of the accommodating groove 60 is smaller than the length of the swing arm 31, so that the filter tray 20 can be moved more in the front and rear directions. In addition, the front and rear layout of each structure can be further made more compact.

[0033] In this embodiment, the swing assembly 32 includes a U-shaped armature 321, a coil 323 arranged on the U-shaped armature 321, and a magnet 322 arranged between the two arms of the U-shaped armature 321; the magnet 322 is rotatably connected to the bottom surface of the accommodating groove 60 through the rotating shaft 100, and the fixed end of the swing arm 31 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 100. The opposite side walls of the two arms of the U-shaped armature 321 are provided with second avoidance grooves 3210 for the magnet 322 to rotate. When the coil 323 is energized, the U-shaped armature 321 can generate magnetism and thus its two arms can generate magnetic force on the magnet 322, thereby causing the magnet 322 to rotate under the action of the two magnetic fields, wherein the second avoidance groove 3210 can avoid the rotation of the magnet 322 to avoid collision, and the clockwise rotation and counterclockwise rotation of the magnet 322 can be switched by controlling the direction of the current in the coil 323 through an external device.

[0034] In this embodiment, the two arms of the U-shaped armature 321 are arranged side by side, and the coil 323 is arranged on any one arm of the U-shaped armature 321. Compared with the case where the coil 323 is arranged at the connection between the two arms, the occupied space in the left and right direction can be further reduced.

[0035] In this embodiment, a laterally extending extension portion 3110 is provided at the upper end of the limiting column 311. The extension portion 3110 is perpendicular to the swing arm 31 and is skewed from the plane. Two extension portions 3110 are provided and are arranged along the same horizontal straight line. Through the cooperation of the two extension portions 3110, the filter tray 20 can be prevented from being separated from the limiting column 311, thereby ensuring stability.

[0036] In this embodiment, support bars 110 are provided on both the left and right sides of the bottom surface of the guide slide groove 40, and the support bars 110 are arranged along the front-to-back direction. There are multiple limiting protrusions 50 on the left and right side walls of the guide slide groove 40 and they are arranged along the front-to-back direction. When assembled in place, the upper and lower surfaces of the filter tray 20 are slidably fitted with the limiting protrusions 50 and the support bars 110 respectively. Through the cooperation of the support bars 110 and the limiting protrusions 50, the friction between the filter tray 20 and the inner wall of the guide slide groove 40 can be reduced, thereby improving the smoothness of switching.

[0037] In this embodiment, the switch also includes a sealing plate 120 that seals the filter tray 20 in the guide slot 40. A second light-transmitting port 71 is provided on the sealing plate corresponding to the first light-transmitting port 70. In practice, the first light-transmitting port and the second light-transmitting port are both sealed by a transparent film. The sealing plate 120 is detachably connected to the base 10. Furthermore, positioning steps 130 are provided on the upper surface of the base 10 on both sides of the left and right sides of the guide slot 40. The front and rear ends of the positioning steps 130 penetrate the front and rear side walls of the base 10 respectively. The left and right ends of the sealing plate 120 are respectively provided on the two positionings so that the upper surface of the sealing plate 120 can be flush with the upper surface of the base 10 after assembly. The front and rear ends of the sealing plate 120 are provided with a downward bending portion 121. The bending portion 121 is connected to the base 10 by a buckle 140. Correspondingly, a snap-in hole 150 is provided on the bending portion corresponding to the buckle to facilitate disassembly and assembly.

[0038] It should be understood that those skilled in the art 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.
