Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of visual detection equipment, in particular to a multifunctional camera connector. Background Art

[0002] With the development of artificial intelligence, more and more jobs are being replaced by machine vision. This article mainly focuses on the application of visual inspection. Visual inspection refers to the process of converting the captured target into an image signal through a machine vision product (i.e., an image capture device), transmitting it to a dedicated image processing system, and converting it into a digital signal based on pixel distribution, brightness, color and other information; the image system performs various operations on these signals to extract the characteristics of the target, and then controls the equipment action on site based on the results of the judgment. At present, visual inspection technology is widely used in the inspection of various products, including industrial products, food, medicine, cosmetics and many other industries. In addition, the machine vision technology in the prior art is a non-contact, non-destructive automatic inspection technology, which is an effective means to achieve equipment automation, intelligence and precision control. It has outstanding advantages such as safety and reliability, wide spectral response range, long-term operation in harsh environments and high production efficiency. The machine vision inspection system obtains the surface image of the product through appropriate light sources and image sensors, i.e., CCD cameras, extracts the feature information of the image using corresponding image processing algorithms, and then locates, identifies and grades surface defects based on the feature information.

[0003] Generally, cameras are directly connected to machines and equipment, but the machines and equipment on which cameras are installed are not always static. For example, if a camera is installed on a robotic arm, the robotic arm needs to move. During the movement, it may hit the camera and cause damage to the camera. In addition, visual inspection is greatly affected by light. In a mobile working environment, the light will constantly change, affecting the accuracy of visual inspection. Utility Model Content

[0006] The protective shell is a metal shell, which protects the camera. When it encounters a collision, the camera will not be damaged. The light source and the camera are integrated to solve the problem of ambient light. When the camera moves, the light source will move with it, and the light will not be affected by the movement of the camera, which will affect visual detection. At the same time, the connector of the utility model expands the scope of application, and can be used not only in static but also in motion.

[0007] Furthermore, there are 4 to 12 groups of adjustment holes.

[0008] Preferably, the adjustment holes include upper adjustment holes and lower adjustment holes, the upper two corners of the camera fixing seat are respectively connected to the upper adjustment holes; the lower two corners are respectively connected to the lower adjustment holes; the upper adjustment holes and the lower adjustment holes are on the same longitudinal axis, and are respectively five groups. In this design, five groups of camera mounting holes are designed on the camera protective shell, which solves the aperture problem that may occur.

[0009] Furthermore, the utility model also includes a light source base, which is circular, and the light source bracket is fixed on the light source base.

[0010] Furthermore, the light source bracket is U-shaped, and four threaded holes are provided at the bottom of the light source bracket, through which the light source bracket is fixed to the light source base; and both sides of the light source bracket are fixed to the protective shell by screws.

[0011] Furthermore, the middle part of the light source base is hollow.

[0012] The visual inspection system in the prior art is composed of a control mechanism, a computer, a computer interface, a camera, a lighting system, etc. The utility model is mainly aimed at the camera and lighting system in visual inspection. The side opening of the camera fixing seat is used to fix the protective shell of the camera; the light source bracket has a built-in light source and is fixed to the camera protective shell. The whole is integrated with the camera for easy use; the camera protective shell can adjust the installation position of the camera fixing seat by adjusting the installation hole, thereby adjusting the distance between the camera and the light source to adapt to different types of light sources and cameras.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0014] The utility model protects the camera with a metal shell, so when it encounters a collision, the camera will not be damaged; the light source and the camera are integrated to solve the problem of ambient light. When the camera moves, the light source will move with it, and there will be no light problem due to the movement of the camera, affecting visual detection; and the utility model designs multiple groups of camera mounting holes on the camera protection shell, which can flexibly adjust the distance between the camera and the light source, can adapt to different light sources and cameras, and can be flexibly adjusted according to the ambient light, solving the aperture problem that may occur.
