Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of camera equipment, and in particular to a binocular camera and electronic equipment. Background Art

[0002] The low-cost solution for existing binocular cameras is to use two fixed cameras to stitch the field of view into a wide angle; the high-end solution is to use one fixed camera for panoramic view and one pan-tilt camera for close-up view to achieve better shooting effects. However, although the pan-tilt camera can adjust the shooting at different angles, it is large in size and expensive, and has shortcomings in appearance and cost. In addition, the pan-tilt camera is prone to glare and ghosting during shooting, resulting in insufficient clarity of the acquired image information. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of the embodiments of the present application is to provide a binocular camera and electronic equipment, which not only effectively solves the problem of large installation volume and high cost of the gimbal camera module, but also overcomes the glare and ghosting problems that are prone to occur during the shooting process.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solutions:

[0005] In one aspect, a binocular camera is provided, comprising: a housing;

[0006] Control components;

[0007] A panoramic camera module, disposed in the housing, and electrically connected to the control component;

[0008] A pan-tilt camera module is arranged in the shell, and the pan-tilt camera module is electrically connected to the control component. The pan-tilt camera module includes a mounting frame, a pan-tilt camera installed in the mounting frame, and a reflector arranged opposite to the pan-tilt camera. The reflector can rotate relative to the pan-tilt camera to adjust the field of view of the pan-tilt camera. A pan-tilt lens is arranged obliquely on one side of the mounting frame, and the pan-tilt lens is arranged opposite to the reflector. The deflection of the field of view of the pan-tilt camera is achieved by controlling the rotation of the reflector, and the shooting adjustment at different angles is achieved. The assembly space occupied by this adjustment method is small, so that the volume of the pan-tilt camera module is smaller than that of the traditional structure, and the assembly cost is also reduced. At the same time, the pan-tilt camera module can be better hidden, making the overall camera more complete and beautiful; at the same time, by tilting the pan-tilt lens, the problem of glare and ghosting can be effectively improved, ensuring that the picture taken by the pan-tilt camera is clear and complete.

[0009] Furthermore, the reflector can rotate relative to the pan-tilt camera around a first axis, and / or the reflector can rotate relative to the pan-tilt camera around a second axis, wherein the first axis extends in the length direction of the housing, and the second axis is perpendicular to the first axis. The reflector can rotate in two directions, realizing the deflection of the field of view in two directions, thereby achieving adaptive adjustment of more shooting angles, effectively expanding the application range of the camera.

[0010] Furthermore, the pan-tilt camera module further includes a rotating frame and a power assembly, the reflector is mounted on the rotating frame, the power output end of the power assembly is connected to the reflector, and the power assembly can drive the reflector to rotate along the first axis or along the second axis on the rotating frame. The rotating frame serves as a base for the rotation of the reflector, which can effectively limit the rotation range of the reflector and ensure that the reflector can rotate smoothly. At the same time, a power assembly is configured to drive the rotation of the reflector, thereby realizing precise rotation control of the reflector.

[0011] Furthermore, the fields of view of the panoramic camera module and the pan-tilt camera module are relatively horizontal. Only when the fields of view of the panoramic camera module and the pan-tilt camera module are kept horizontal can the level of the captured images be guaranteed to be consistent, avoiding height differences in the captured images and affecting the viewing effect.

[0012] Furthermore, the pan-tilt camera module also includes a mounting frame, and the pan-tilt camera and the reflector are both arranged in the mounting frame. The mounting frame plays a role of fixed installation, and at the same time isolates the pan-tilt camera and the panoramic camera module to avoid the situation where the shooting images interfere with each other.

[0013] Furthermore, the mounting frame is provided with a pan / tilt lens at one side along the lens direction of the panoramic camera module. By tilting the pan / tilt lens, the problem of glare and ghosting can be effectively improved, ensuring that the pan / tilt camera takes clear and complete pictures.

[0014] Furthermore, the shell includes a front shell and a rear shell, the panoramic camera module and the gimbal camera module are both arranged on the front shell, and the control component is installed on the rear shell.

[0015] Furthermore, an outer lens is arranged on the front shell, and the outer lens is arranged tilted relative to the horizontal viewing angle of the panoramic camera module. The outer lens is arranged tilted downward, which also improves glare and ghosting, ensuring that both the panoramic camera module and the gimbal camera module can achieve clear shooting.

[0016] Furthermore, the control component includes a bracket and a mainboard, the front shell and the rear shell are connected by the bracket, the mainboard is mounted on the bracket, and the rear shell is provided with a heat sink corresponding to the mainboard position. The front shell and the rear shell are stably connected by the bracket, the front shell is used to fix the panoramic camera module and the gimbal camera module, and the rear shell is used to install the heat sink to achieve effective heat dissipation.

[0017] Furthermore, the housing is provided with a wall mount with an adjustable installation angle, and the housing is provided with a sound receiving component electrically connected to the control component. The wall mount can realize the installation adjustment of the up and down function to adapt to the requirements of different installation angles of the camera, and the configuration of the sound receiving component can realize effective sound reception.

[0018] Furthermore, the pan / tilt camera module and the panoramic camera module are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the housing. By arranging the two camera modules at intervals along the same direction, the purpose of fully utilizing the assembly space is achieved, and at the same time, it can ensure that the captured image information is convenient for splicing.

[0019] On the other hand, an electronic device is also provided, comprising a binocular camera as described in any one of the above items.

[0020] The beneficial effects of the present application are as follows: the control components arranged in the shell are electrically connected to the panoramic camera module and the pan-tilt camera module respectively, and effective shooting control can be achieved for the two camera modules. The panoramic camera module is used for panoramic shooting, and can achieve shooting with a larger field of view. On the basis of panoramic shooting, close-up shooting is performed through the pan-tilt camera module, that is, image information within a set range is captured to achieve better shooting effects. During the shooting process of the pan-tilt camera module, the field of view angle deflection of the pan-tilt camera is achieved by controlling the rotation of the reflector to shoot close-up shots at different angles, and the rotation of the reflector is used instead of the traditional pan-tilt. The overall rotating structure of the camera module realizes a smaller assembly design. The installation space occupied by the gimbal camera module in the shell is reduced, and the assembly cost is also reduced. At the same time, since only the rotation of the reflector is controlled, the gimbal camera module as a whole can be better hidden, thereby improving the overall aesthetics of the binocular camera. In addition, the mounting frame plays a role in fixed installation, while isolating the gimbal camera and the panoramic camera module to avoid mutual interference in the shooting images. The gimbal lens tilted on the mounting frame can effectively improve the problem of glare and ghosting, ensuring that the pictures taken by the gimbal camera are clear and complete.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] In order to make the technical problems solved by this application, the technical solutions adopted, and the technical effects achieved more clearly, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application are further described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of them.

[0036] Binocular camera technology is a machine vision technology based on the principle of parallax. The parallax principle here refers to obtaining the three-dimensional geometric information of an object by comparing two or more images taken from different angles. Binocular cameras generally consist of two cameras, which are spaced similarly to the distance between human eyes. This design is to simulate the visual effect of the human eye and obtain depth information by comparing two images from different perspectives. Binocular cameras have a wide range of applications in the field of machine vision because they can quickly and accurately obtain the three-dimensional geometric information of objects. This technology is particularly useful in situations where high-precision measurement and positioning are required, such as robot vision, quality control on automated production lines, and driverless cars. In order to obtain more realistic three-dimensional visual effects, binocular cameras are often used in conjunction with some algorithms. For example, by aligning and fusing the images of two cameras through some algorithms, an image with depth and color information can be generated. In addition, the camera parameters such as aperture, shutter speed, sensitivity, etc. can be adjusted to adapt to different lighting conditions and shooting requirements. In general, binocular camera technology is a comprehensive visual solution that combines binocular cameras, algorithms and other technologies to achieve more realistic and clear visual effects. Due to their high precision and strong adaptability, binocular cameras have been widely used in many fields.

[0037] In binocular cameras, panoramic camera modules and gimbal camera modules are both important components. Among them, the gimbal camera module is mainly used to provide a stable and all-round viewing angle, so its design often needs to consider a larger rotation range and a more complex structural design, which makes the gimbal camera module relatively large in size. In order to provide a larger viewing angle coverage, the gimbal camera module needs to have a larger rotation range, which requires the addition of a mechanical structure to support this movement, resulting in an increase in volume. Since the gimbal camera module needs to maintain a relatively stable posture during the rotation process to ensure the stability of the shooting, the gimbal design usually needs to adopt a more robust and stable mechanical structure, which will increase the number and complexity of components and further increase the volume. Moreover, the field of view angle direction of the existing gimbal camera module is perpendicular to the lens, which causes the external light to enter the lens vertically during the shooting process of the gimbal camera module, which may be reflected and refracted inside the lens, resulting in light scattering and distortion, glare and ghosting, and thus seriously affecting the effect of obtaining the image.

[0038] In order to solve the problem of the large size of the pan-tilt camera module 4 and the image clarity, this embodiment provides a binocular camera, such as Figure 1-Figure 9 As shown, it includes: a shell 1, a control component 2, a panoramic camera module 3 and a pan-tilt camera module 4; the control component 2 is arranged inside the shell 1; the panoramic camera module 3 is arranged in the shell 1 and is electrically connected to the control component 2; the pan-tilt camera module 4 is arranged in the shell 1 and is arranged at intervals with the panoramic camera module 3 along the length direction of the shell 1, the pan-tilt camera module 4 is electrically connected to the control component 2, the pan-tilt camera module 4 includes a mounting frame 403, a pan-tilt camera 401 mounted in the mounting frame 403, and a reflector 402 arranged opposite to the pan-tilt camera 401, the reflector 402 can be rotated relative to the pan-tilt camera 401 to adjust the field of view angle range of the pan-tilt camera 401, and a pan-tilt lens 404 is tilted on one side of the mounting frame 403, and the pan-tilt lens 404 is arranged opposite to the reflector 402.

[0039] Based on the above scheme, the shell 1 has a relative front side and a rear side. The rear side is used to fix the shell 1, and can be attached to and locked with a wall or other installation position through the rear side. The front side is used to fix the panoramic camera module 3 and the pan-tilt camera module 4. The function of the control component 2 is to control and transmit signals. By sending relevant shooting instructions to the panoramic camera module 3 and the pan-tilt camera module 4, it can also receive image information fed back by the two camera modules and effectively process it; in the pan-tilt camera module 4, the deflection of the field of view angle of the pan-tilt camera 401 is achieved by controlling the rotation of the reflector 402, thereby achieving shooting adjustment at different angles. This adjustment Compared with the method of controlling the overall rotation of the pan-tilt camera module 4, the assembly space occupied by the method is smaller, so that the volume of the pan-tilt camera module 4 is smaller than that of the traditional structure, and the assembly cost is also reduced. At the same time, since only the rotation of the reflector 402 needs to be controlled, and the overall rotation is no longer required, the position of the pan-tilt camera can remain relatively unchanged, and the entire pan-tilt camera module 4 does not need to rotate, so the pan-tilt camera module 4 can be better hidden, making the camera more complete and beautiful as a whole; at the same time, by tilting the pan-tilt lens 404, the problem of glare and ghosting can be effectively improved, ensuring that the picture taken by the pan-tilt camera 401 is clear and complete. It is worth mentioning that the pan-tilt lens 404 and the reflector 402 are relatively arranged, which specifically means that the reflection direction of the reflector 402 is simultaneously toward the pan-tilt lens 404 and the pan-tilt camera 401, that is, the reflector 402 can obtain external image information through the pan-tilt lens 404 and reflect it to the pan-tilt camera 401.

[0040] Specifically, regarding the tilting setting of the pan / tilt lens 404, the plane where the top surface of the mounting frame 403 is located is taken as the reference plane, and the angle at which the plane where the pan / tilt lens 404 is located intersects with the reference plane is θ, where 65°≤θ≤75°. The specific value of θ can be adjusted according to the design requirements of the binocular camera, that is, the value of θ is not fixed and can be adjusted adaptively.

[0041] Among them, in some embodiments, θ=60° or θ=70°, which are two of the more preferred angle values. The reason for choosing these two tilt angles is that the larger the tilt angle of the lens is, the better it is. Instead, it should be selected according to the specific scene and needs. Too large or too small a tilt angle may affect the performance and monitoring effect of the camera. Therefore, when selecting and adjusting the tilt angle of the lens, various factors need to be considered comprehensively to achieve the best monitoring effect. 70° and 60° are more commonly used and preferred tilt angles, which can allow light to enter the camera at a certain angle, reduce the reflection and refraction of light inside the lens, and reduce the appearance of glare and ghosting. This helps to improve the clarity and contrast of the camera, making the picture clearer and more delicate.

[0042] Furthermore, the mounting frame 403 is provided with a shooting port along the shooting direction of the panoramic camera module 3, the pan-tilt lens 404 is tiltedly arranged at the shooting port, the shooting port is opposite to the reflector 402, and the pan-tilt camera 401 can obtain external image information through the shooting port through the reflector 402. The mounting frame 403 plays a role of fixed installation, and at the same time isolates the pan-tilt camera 401 and the panoramic camera module 3 to avoid the situation where the shooting images interfere with each other. It can be understood that when the pan-tilt camera 401 installed in the mounting frame 403 obtains image information from the reflector 402, due to the external isolation of the mounting frame 403, the pan-tilt camera 401 can only shoot from the shooting port through the reflector 402, so that the pan-tilt camera 401 is completely isolated from the interference of the panoramic camera module 3 during the shooting process, and the panoramic camera module 3 will not be interfered by the pan-tilt camera module 4.

[0043] It is worth mentioning that in addition to being set inside the shell 1 as a part of the dual-head camera, the control component 2 can also be used as an independent device peripheral, that is, the control component 2 is set separately outside the shell 1 and electrically connected to the panoramic camera module 3 and the gimbal camera module 4, which can effectively save the internal installation space of the shell 1 and further reduce the size of the dual-head camera.

[0044] Alternatively, if Figure 6As shown, the reflector 402 can rotate around the first axis relative to the pan-tilt camera 401, wherein the extension direction of the first axis is the length direction of the shell 1, and the extension direction of the first axis can also be understood as the left-right direction. When the reflector 402 rotates to the left or right, the field of view angle range of the pan-tilt camera 401 in the horizontal direction can be adjusted, that is, the left side can be photographed to obtain image information, or the right side can be photographed to obtain image information. The shooting range of the pan-tilt camera can be adaptively adjusted according to different shooting requirements. In practical applications, through the left and right rotation of the reflector 402, the pan-tilt camera 401 can cover a wider viewing angle and achieve a monitoring effect of almost full coverage, which is very beneficial for scenes that require comprehensive monitoring, such as security monitoring, unmanned patrols, etc., and because the pan-tilt camera 401 can effectively obtain left and right image information, it can achieve 360° all-round monitoring without dead angles, which can ensure that there is no blind spot and fully capture the required images; in addition, the coordination of the pan-tilt camera 401 and the reflector 402 is different from that of a camera with a fixed focal length. The pan-tilt camera 401 can flexibly adjust its acquisition The angle of the image can flexibly monitor different positions and targets as needed, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of monitoring. At the same time, it can be linked with the control system. When an abnormal situation occurs, the reflector rotates together, so that the pan-tilt camera 401 can obtain image information of the abnormal position, respond and monitor in real time, and improve safety and early warning capabilities. In addition, for applications that need to display panoramic pictures, such as video conferencing, online live broadcasts, etc., when the panoramic picture is obtained based on the panoramic camera module 3, the pan-tilt camera 401 and the reflector 402 can provide richer visual effects, thereby enhancing the audience's sense of immersion and experience.

[0045] As an optional specific implementation scheme, Figure 6 As shown, the reflector 402 can rotate around a second axis relative to the pan-tilt camera 401, wherein the second axis is perpendicular to the first axis. In this solution, the second axis can be simply understood as the up and down direction. Through the up and down deflection of the reflector 402, the pan-tilt camera 401 can easily capture targets at different heights, such as details at high places or conditions on the ground, which increases the flexibility of the camera and enables it to adapt to a variety of scenarios and needs; in some scenarios, such as road monitoring or exterior monitoring of high-rise buildings, the camera may be affected by obstacles above. Through up and down deflection, the camera can adjust the angle to avoid being blocked, thereby obtaining a clearer picture. At the same time, by obtaining highly changing image information through up and down deflection, it can provide users with a richer and more three-dimensional visual effect; in addition, in applications such as security monitoring and unmanned patrols, the pan-tilt camera 401 can help monitoring personnel capture targets at different heights. For example, during patrols, abnormal conditions at high places or activities on the ground can be easily captured, thereby improving its safety and early warning.

[0046] As another optional specific implementation scheme, the reflector 402 can rotate around the first axis and the second axis, that is, the reflector 402 can rotate in two directions, realizing the deflection of the field of view in two directions, thereby achieving adaptive adjustment of more shooting angles, and effectively expanding the application range of the camera. Specifically, the benefit of the deflection of the reflector 402 in four directions, namely, up, down, left, and right, is that it provides all-round viewing angle coverage, enhances the flexibility and comprehensiveness of monitoring, and through the deflection in four directions, namely, up, down, left, and right, the pan-tilt camera 401 can capture targets in all directions, and realize 360° all-round monitoring without dead angles. This all-round viewing angle coverage can improve the efficiency and accuracy of monitoring, reduce blind spots, and meet the monitoring needs in various complex scenes. At the same time, the pan-tilt camera 401 can obtain different image information when the reflector 402 is deflected in four directions, namely, up, down, left, and right, and can also enhance the visual effect, provide a richer and more three-dimensional picture, and improve the audience's perception and experience. In addition, by linking with the control system, the reflector 402 can be automatically or manually controlled to quickly locate the target area to be monitored, and make real-time responses and warnings. This all-round deflection function can also improve safety and warning capabilities, and provide more reliable and efficient monitoring solutions for various application scenarios. In short, the benefit of the reflector 402 deflecting in four directions, up, down, left, and right, is to provide an all-round, no-dead-angle monitoring perspective, enhance visual effects and safety warning capabilities, and meet monitoring needs in various complex scenarios.

[0047] It should be noted that if Fig. 9 As shown, the dotted line represents the field of view angle of the panoramic camera module 3, and the solid line represents the field of view angle of the pan-tilt camera module 4 before deflection and the field of view angle after deflection.

[0048] Furthermore, the pan-tilt camera module 4 further includes a rotating frame 405 and a power assembly, the reflector 402 is mounted on the rotating frame 405, the power output end of the power assembly is connected to the reflector 402, and the power assembly can drive the reflector 402 to rotate along the first axis or along the second axis on the rotating frame 405. The rotating frame 405, as a base for the rotation of the reflector 402, can effectively limit the rotation range of the reflector 402 and ensure that the reflector 402 can rotate smoothly. At the same time, a power assembly is configured to drive the rotation of the reflector 402, thereby realizing precise rotation control of the reflector 402, wherein the power assembly can be a motor or a magnet, and the motor can be specifically a stepping motor or a servo motor, which is connected to the reflector 402 through the output shaft of the motor, and the parameters such as the rotation, direction and rotation angle of the motor are adjusted according to the deflection angle, thereby realizing precise rotation of the reflector 402; and when magnet control is adopted, the rotation of the reflector 402 can be controlled by the principle that the same poles repel each other and the opposite poles attract each other.

[0049] In some embodiments, the fields of view of the panoramic camera module 3 and the pan-tilt camera module 4 are relatively horizontal. The fields of view of the panoramic camera module 3 and the pan-tilt camera module 4 are kept horizontal to ensure that the level of the captured images is consistent, avoiding the height difference in the captured images that affects the viewing effect, and the fields of view of the two modules are kept horizontal and are not affected by the tilt of the pan-tilt lens 404.

[0050] In some embodiments, the housing 1 includes a front housing 101 and a rear housing 102, the panoramic camera module 3 and the pan-tilt camera module 4 are both arranged on the front housing 101, and the control component 2 is installed on the rear housing 102. The front housing 101 and the rear housing 102 can be detachably connected by means of structures such as snaps. Before assembly, the control component 2 is installed on the rear housing 102, and the panoramic camera module 3 and the pan-tilt camera module 4 are installed on the front housing 101, and then the assembly is completed by correspondingly connecting the front housing 101 and the rear housing 102. The first two assembly steps can be performed simultaneously, which can effectively improve the assembly efficiency. When the front housing 101 and the rear housing 102 are docked, only the positioning structure needs to be reserved to achieve precise docking, and both efficiency and accuracy can be effectively improved.

[0051] In addition, the front shell 101 is provided with an outer lens 8, and the outer lens 8 is tilted relative to the horizontal viewing angle of the panoramic camera module 3. Here, the outer lens 8 is tilted downward, and the outer lens 8 covers the area of ​​the panoramic camera module 3 and the pan-tilt camera module 4, and is arranged in parallel with the pan-tilt lens 404. The outer lens 8 and the pan-tilt lens 404 are both tilted because when light enters the camera, if it is directly shot into the lens vertically, it may be reflected and refracted inside the lens, resulting in light scattering and distortion, glare and ghosting, and if the outer lens 8 is tilted, the light can enter the lens at a certain angle, reducing the reflection and refraction of light inside the lens, so that the appearance of glare and ghosting can be reduced, and the clarity and contrast of the camera can be improved. Therefore, the tilted cooperation of the two plays a role in improving glare and ghosting, ensuring that both the panoramic photography module and the pan-tilt photography module can achieve clear shooting. It should be noted that the preferred solution for the tilt angle of the outer lens 8 is to be consistent with the pan-tilt lens 404, that is, the outer lens 8 is relatively parallel to the pan-tilt lens 404.

[0052] Further, the control component 2 includes a bracket 202 and a mainboard 201, the front shell 101 and the rear shell 102 are connected through the bracket 202, the mainboard 201 is mounted on the bracket 202, and the rear shell 102 is provided with a heat sink 7 at a position relative to the mainboard 201. The front shell 101 and the rear shell 102 are stably connected through the bracket 202, the front shell 101 is used to fix the panoramic camera module 3 and the pan-tilt camera module 4, and the mainboard 201 generates more heat when working, so the heat sink 7 is provided at the position of the rear shell 102 corresponding to the mainboard 201 to achieve effective heat dissipation.

[0053] Preferably, the shell 1 is also provided with a wall mount 6 with an adjustable installation angle. Specifically, the wall mount 6 includes a fixed plate 601, a connecting plate 602 and a mounting plate 603. The fixed plate 601 and the connecting plate 602 are connected via a first adjusting member 604, and the connecting plate 602 and the mounting plate 603 are connected via a second adjusting member 605. The fixed plate 601 is fixedly connected to the wall, and the mounting plate 603 is installed on the shell 1. The connecting plate 602 can adjust the installation angle up and down relative to the fixed plate 601 via the first adjusting member 604, and the mounting plate 603 can adjust the installation angle left and right relative to the connecting plate 602 via the second adjusting member 605. That is, the shell 1 can be adjusted up and down, left and right through the above-mentioned cooperation to adapt to the requirements of different installation angles of the camera.

[0054] In addition, the front shell 101 is provided with a sound receiving component 5 electrically connected to the control component 2. The function of the sound receiving component 5 is mainly to capture and transmit sound signals, and transmit them together with the video signals, so as to realize the synchronous recording and transmission of audio and video. In this scheme, the sound receiving component 5 has high sensitivity and directivity, and can better capture and transmit sound, so as to improve the recording quality of audio and video. In addition, the sound receiving component 5 also has functions such as noise reduction and echo cancellation, which can further improve the recording effect and improve the audio quality. In general, the role of the sound receiving component 5 in this scheme is to realize the synchronous recording and transmission of audio and video, and provide a more complete and realistic audio-visual experience.

[0055] It is worth mentioning that the heat sink 7 is specifically a heat sink, and the sound receiving component 5 is specifically a microphone.

[0056] In addition, the present embodiment also provides an electronic device, including a binocular camera as described above. Specifically, there are many electronic devices that use binocular cameras, the most common of which are smartphones. Binocular cameras are mainly used on smartphones to take high-quality photos and videos, as well as to perform face recognition, AR applications, etc. In addition, there are some devices specifically used for shooting, such as sports cameras, drones, etc., which also use binocular camera technology to improve the clarity and stability of shooting.
