DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model are described clearly and completely below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0026] This embodiment provides a device that facilitates multi-directional monitoring, which is mainly used to solve the problem of blind spots behind the camera and reduce the risk of illegal persons damaging the camera.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, it includes a mounting base 1 and a main body 2 rotatably mounted on the bottom wall of the mounting base 1, wherein a positioning base 21 extending vertically downward is fixedly provided on the bottom wall of the main body 2, and a monitoring component 3 and a driving mechanism for driving the monitoring component 3 to rotate are rotatably provided on the side wall of the positioning base 21.

[0028] In this embodiment, the direction is redefined, wherein the direction can refer to Figure 1 The three-axis coordinate system in which the Z axis is perpendicular to the horizontal plane.

[0029] It is worth noting that the main body 2 is rotatably connected to the mounting seat 1 along the Z-axis direction, and the monitoring component 3 and the positioning seat 21 are rotatably arranged along the X-axis direction.

[0030] In order to make the main body 2 rotate around the Z-axis direction, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, it includes a second motor 51, a first gear 52 and a second gear 53, wherein the main body 2 is rotatably mounted on the bottom wall of the mounting base 1, the second gear 53 is fixedly mounted on the top wall of the main body 2, the second motor 51 is fixedly mounted on the mounting base 1, and the output shaft of the second motor 51 is vertically arranged downward, the output shaft of the second motor 51 is fixedly connected to the first gear 52, and the first gear 52 and the second gear 53 are meshed with each other.

[0031] Through the above arrangement, the second motor 51 can drive the first gear 52 to rotate, and then drive the second gear 53 that is meshed with each other to rotate around its own axis, so as to facilitate the adjustment of the angle of the main body 2, thereby expanding the monitoring range of the monitoring component 3.

[0032] In order to realize the installation of the monitoring component 3, in this embodiment, as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the driving mechanism includes a first motor 4 and a rotating shaft 41, wherein the first motor 4 is fixedly mounted on the positioning seat 21, the output shaft of the first motor 4 is arranged along the X-axis direction, the output shaft of the first motor 4 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 41, and the other end of the rotating shaft 41 is fixedly connected to the monitoring component 3.

[0033] The first motor 4 can drive the monitoring component 3 to rotate around the X-axis direction, thereby further expanding the monitoring range of the monitoring component 3.

[0034] In order to achieve the storage of the first motor 4, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, the positioning seat 21 is provided with a mounting hole 211 , wherein the first motor 4 is fixedly mounted in the mounting hole 211 .

[0035] In order to monitor the surrounding environment, in this embodiment, Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the monitoring component 3 includes a spherical shell 30 and a camera 34, wherein the rotating shaft 41 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the spherical shell 30, the camera 34 is fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the spherical shell 30, and a first monitoring window 31 is provided in the direction facing the field of view of the camera 34.

[0036] It is worth pointing out here that Figure 5 Taking the perspective as an example, the camera 34 is fixedly installed on the rear wall of the inner cavity of the spherical shell 30, and the first monitoring window 31 is opened on the front wall of the inner cavity of the spherical shell 30. At this time, a distance H is reserved between the camera 34 and the first monitoring window 31 to ensure that the camera 34 has a monitoring area 300 in the inner cavity of the spherical shell 30. The camera 34 can receive the surrounding environment entering the spherical shell 30 from the first monitoring window 31, thereby monitoring the front of the camera 34.

[0037] It is worth pointing out here that Figure 5 As shown, the horizontal plane where the rotation axis 41 is located is defined as plane A, wherein the area located on plane A is defined as an upper spherical shell, and the area located on the lower side of plane A is defined as a lower spherical shell.

[0038] In order to monitor the rear side of the camera 34 and reduce the monitoring blind area, in this embodiment, Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, reflectors 6 are provided on both sides of the first monitoring window 31 and on the inner wall of the upper spherical shell, and the reflectors 6 are tilted downward and have an angle α with the Z axis, wherein a second monitoring window 32 aligned with the reflector 6 is provided on the lower spherical shell at the lower side of the camera 34, wherein the second monitoring window 32 is located on the rear side of the spherical shell 30, and it is worth noting that the reflector 6 is located within the monitoring area 300 of the camera 34.

[0039] Specifically, the included angle α between the reflector 6 and the Z axis is 30 degrees.

[0040] Through the above-mentioned arrangement, the side environment behind the camera 34 can be captured by the reflector 6 through the second monitoring window 32, and then the camera 34 is used to capture the scene inside the reflector 6, so that the rear side of the camera 34 can be monitored, solving the problem of the blind spot behind the camera 34, thereby reducing the risk of the monitoring device being damaged by criminals from the blind spot.

[0041] It is worth noting that, since the reflectors 6 are located on both sides of the first monitoring window 31 , the reflectors 6 will not hinder the camera 34 from capturing the front monitoring image.

[0042] In order to realize the installation of the reflector 6, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown, a positioning column 61 is fixedly provided on the back of the reflector 6, and the positioning column 61 is fixedly connected to the ball shell 30 by bolts.

[0043] In order to prevent external dust from entering the inner cavity of the spherical shell 30 through the first monitoring window 31 and the second monitoring window 32, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a protective cover 33 is installed in each of the first monitoring window 31 and the second monitoring window 32. It is worth noting that the protective cover 33 is made of a transparent material to collect external light into the inner cavity of the spherical shell 30, thereby facilitating the camera 34 to capture the external environment.

[0044] It is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic features of the present invention. Therefore, no matter from which point of view, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-restrictive, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description, and it is intended that all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims are included in the present invention.
