[0029] See also Figure 1-3 The heat sink 200 is fixedly connected to the left side wall of the protective shell 100, and the heat sink 200 is used to dissipate heat for the camera body 170;

[0030] In summary, the industrial camera has an all-round protective structure to prevent the industrial camera from being damaged.

[0031] Please refer again Figure 3-4 The top of the mounting plate 160 is fixedly connected with a camera body 170, through which photography can be performed.

[0032] See also Figure 1 and Figure 3 A through hole 180 is provided on the right side wall of the protective shell 100 , through which the camera body 170 can be used for shooting, and at the same time, the through hole 180 can also allow heat to dissipate to form air circulation.

[0033] Please refer again Figure 1 and Figure 3 The top and bottom of the heat dissipation box 200 are provided with air inlet holes 210 , through which external air can enter the heat dissipation box 200 .

[0034] See also Figure 3 A semiconductor cooling sheet 220 is embedded in the left side wall of the inner cavity of the heat dissipation box 200 , and a first fan 230 is fixedly connected between the front and rear side walls of the inner cavity of the heat dissipation box 200 , and cold air can be generated through the semiconductor cooling sheet 220 .

Finally, because the first fan 230 blows away the cold air, a negative pressure is formed inside the heat dissipation box 200, thereby pushing the outside air into the heat dissipation box 200 from the air inlet 210 to ensure the continuous generation of cold air.
