Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of camera equipment, and more specifically, to an infrared camera. Background Art

[0002] Cameras are widely used in people's work and life. The principle of digital cameras is mainly the conversion and transmission of light-electricity-digital signals, that is, the light signal is converted into current through the photosensitive element, and then the analog electrical signal is converted into a digital signal. The information obtained after processing and filtering by the corresponding chip can restore the picture. Infrared cameras, as a type of digital camera, can capture infrared spectrum images that cannot be observed by the human eye. It has a wide range of applications and brings many conveniences to people's lives and work.

[0003] In the process of implementing this application, the applicant found that there are at least the following problems in the prior art: infrared cameras are usually equipped with laser pointers to facilitate laser pointing and positioning, and the infrared imaging module usually needs to be coaxially arranged with the laser pointer to cooperate with the work. In traditional infrared cameras, independent mounting seats are usually set for the corresponding imaging module and laser pointer respectively to achieve reliable installation of the two. However, the independent setting of the mounting seat makes the optical axis of the imaging module and the laser pointer susceptible to processing and assembly, resulting in poor coaxiality. The deviation of coaxiality will affect the camera imaging or user experience. Utility Model Content

[0040] The embodiment of the utility model discloses an infrared camera, which is convenient to carry and convenient and comfortable to watch.

[0041] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in 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.

[0042] In some embodiments, see Figure 1-Figure 4The infrared camera provided by the utility model includes an infrared imaging module 1, a handle 2 and a laser pointer 4. The infrared imaging module 1 is used for infrared image acquisition. The laser emission direction of the laser pointer 4 is consistent with the lens direction of the infrared imaging module 1. The laser pointer 4 is a device that can emit laser to project a light spot or a light beam to an object. Through the setting of the laser pointer 4, the shooting position of the infrared imaging module 1 can be intuitively indicated, that is, through the prompting effect of the laser pointer 4, the user can quickly and accurately lock the shooting target, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the infrared camera shooting. The handle 2 includes a shell 23 and an integrated base body 24 arranged on the shell 23, the base body 24 is provided with a first mounting position 241 and a second mounting position 242, the infrared imaging module 1 is arranged at the first mounting position 241, the laser pointer 4 is arranged at the second mounting position 242, and the optical axis of the laser pointer 4 is parallel to the optical axis of the infrared imaging module 1. The shell 23 is used for users to hold and use. That is, the infrared camera is a handheld device that can be conveniently held by the user, and the shape of the housing 23 can be designed according to the user's holding needs. The base body 24 adopts an integrated structure and is provided with a first mounting position 241 and a second mounting position 242 to mount the laser pointer 4 and the infrared imaging module 1 on the base body 24.

[0043] The infrared camera provided in the present application adopts a base body 24 of an integrated structure, and a first mounting position 241 and a second mounting position 242 are set on the base body 24 to respectively install the infrared imaging module 1 and the laser pointer 4 matched therewith. The infrared imaging module 1 and the laser pointer 4 are installed on the same structural member, and the same member is convenient for controlling its accuracy through processing, thereby making the positioning of the infrared imaging module 1 and the laser pointer 4 more accurate, avoiding the optical axis coaxiality deviation caused by installation, debugging, etc. and the adverse effects brought about thereby, and improving the imaging effect or user experience of the product.

[0044] In some embodiments, the mounting plane of the first mounting position 241 is parallel or coplanar with the mounting plane of the second mounting position 242, and is perpendicular to the optical axis of the infrared imaging module 1 and the laser pointer 4. The above arrangement ensures the parallelism of the optical axis of the infrared imaging module 1 and the optical axis of the laser pointer 4. Specifically, the mounting plane of the second mounting position 242 ensures parallelism with the bottom surface of the laser pointer 4 and is perpendicular to the optical axis of the base, and the laser optical axis emitted by the laser pointer 4 is perpendicular to the bottom surface of the laser pointer 4, thus ensuring the parallelism of the laser optical axis with the optical axis of the infrared imaging module 1.

[0045] In some embodiments, see Figure 5-Figure 6The infrared imaging module 1 includes a first sleeve 11 and an imaging core 12 disposed in the first sleeve 11. The first sleeve 11 is connected to the first mounting position 241. The first sleeve 11 is provided to realize the installation of the imaging core 12, which is convenient to operate. The structural design of the first sleeve 11 can meet the installation requirements of imaging cores 12 of different specifications, and imaging cores 12 of different specifications can be conveniently installed on the base body 24. Please refer to Figure 7 The imaging mechanism 12 specifically includes an infrared lens 122 and an infrared mechanism 121. The infrared mechanism 121 is used to process the light from the infrared lens 122 to generate infrared image data and can be sent to the display 3 to display the image. The specific principle of generating infrared images can refer to the conventional infrared mechanism, which will not be repeated here. In some embodiments, the infrared imaging module 1 also includes a focus ring 123. The inner wall surface of the focus ring 123 clamps the infrared lens 122. The rotation of the focus ring 123 drives the infrared lens 122 to rotate to adjust the focal length of the infrared lens 122.

[0046] In some embodiments, the infrared imaging module 1 is detachably connected to the base body 24 , such as by snap-fitting or threading. In the case where the infrared imaging module 1 includes the first sleeve 11 , the first sleeve 11 can be snap-fitted or threadedly connected to the base body 24 .

[0047] Specifically, the first sleeve 11 is clamped with the base body 24. The clamping method is convenient for assembly and disassembly, can be assembled and disassembled manually without the aid of tools, and has reliable connection. Figure 6-Figure 9 , one of the first sleeve 11 and the base body 24 is provided with a slot 27, and the other is provided with a head 15 that can be engaged with the slot 27. The first sleeve 11 is detachably connected to the base body 24 through the cooperation of the slot 27 and the head 15. The shapes of the slot 27 and the head 15 are set accordingly so that the two can be reliably engaged. It can be understood that at least a part of the head 15 and / or at least a part of the slot 27 are elastic, so that the head 15 can be inserted into the slot 27 or removed from the slot 27 by deformation of itself or the slot 27 under the action of external force. Of course, after the head 15 is inserted into the engaging position of the slot 27, the deformation of the head 15 and / or the slot 27 is automatically restored, thereby achieving effective engagement of the two.

[0048] In some embodiments, the slot 27 is arranged along the circumference of the first sleeve 11 or the base body 24, and the first end of the slot 27 extends to the edge of the first sleeve 11 or the base body 24, and the chuck 15 can be inserted into the slot 27 from the first end and rotated along the slot 27 to the second end of the slot 27 for engagement. After the chuck 15 is inserted into the slot 27, the first sleeve 11 or the base body 24 is rotated, that is, the first sleeve 11 and the base body 24 rotate relatively, and the corresponding chuck 15 rotates along the slot 27. During the rotation process, the slot 27 limits and guides the chuck 15, and when the chuck 15 rotates to the second end, it engages with the slot 27. In summary, the above-mentioned rotation engagement method has lower position accuracy requirements when the chuck 15 is inserted, compared with the direct insertion engagement along the axial direction, so it is easy to operate.

[0049] In other embodiments, the connection parts of the base body 24 and the first sleeve 11 are respectively provided with mutually matching threads, and the first sleeve 11 is detachably connected to the base body 24 by threaded connection. The threaded connection is convenient for disassembly and assembly, and can be manually disassembled and assembled without the aid of tools, and the connection is reliable and the assembly precision is high.

[0050] In some embodiments, the laser pointer 4 includes a second sleeve 41 and a laser pointer body disposed in the second sleeve, the second sleeve 41 is connected to the second mounting position 242, and the first sleeve 11 is axially parallel to the second sleeve 41. The second sleeve 41 is provided to realize the installation of the laser pointer body, which is convenient for operation. The axial parallelism of the first sleeve 11 and the second sleeve 41 further ensures the coaxiality of the optical axis of the imaging core 12 and the optical axis of the laser pointer body.

[0051] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The second mounting position 242 is specifically provided with a base positioning hole 245 to cooperate with the positioning protrusion on the laser pointer 4 to achieve positioning. The number of the base positioning holes 245 can be set as needed, such as multiple. The second mounting position 242 is specifically provided with a base screw hole 246 to be bolted to the laser pointer 4, such as being bolted to the second sleeve of the laser pointer 4.

[0052] In some embodiments, the base body 24 may be provided with a base fixing hole 243, and the shell 23 may be provided with a shell fixing hole 29 for bolt connection. The number of the base fixing holes 243 may be set as required, such as being set to a plurality.

[0053] In some embodiments, see Fig.10, the infrared camera also includes a mounting seat 7, which is arranged on the base body 24 and is used to connect external accessories. It can be understood that the mounting seat 7 and the base body 24 can be either an integrated structure or a split structure connected by a conventional connection method. By arranging the mounting seat 7 on the base body 24, external accessories can be connected. As set above, the infrared camera can be equipped with other accessories as needed to meet the corresponding shooting requirements, further improving the user experience. For example, accessories such as laser ranging equipment, infrared indication equipment, and fill light can be connected through the mounting seat 7 to perform laser ranging, infrared indication, fill light, etc. while collecting images. In addition, the external accessories, laser indicator 4 and infrared imaging module 1 are all installed on the integrated base body 24 to ensure the coaxiality of the three. Specifically, the mounting seat 7 is used to detachably connect external accessories.

[0054] In some embodiments, a mounting positioning portion 28 is provided on the base body 24, and a positioning structure 74 is provided on the mounting seat 7 to cooperate with the mounting positioning portion 28, so that the axial direction of the external accessory connected to the mounting seat 7 is parallel to the optical axis of the infrared imaging module 1. The mounting seat 7 and the base body 24 adopt a split structure, and the mounting positioning portion 28 cooperates with the positioning structure 74 to facilitate the positioning and precise installation of the mounting seat 7 and the base body 24, thereby ensuring that the axial direction of the external accessory connected to the mounting seat 7 is parallel to the optical axis of the infrared imaging module 1 and the optical axis of the laser pointer 4, and meeting the installation requirements of the external accessory with respect to the installation axial direction. In the case where the mounting positioning portion 28 and the base body 24 are an integrated structure, the machining accuracy can be controlled to make the axial direction of the external accessory connected to the mounting seat 7 parallel to the optical axis of the infrared imaging module 1.

[0055] In some embodiments, the mounting positioning portion 28 has a positioning plane, which is used to abut against the positioning structure 74, and the positioning plane is perpendicular to the optical axis of the infrared imaging module 1. The positioning plane is guaranteed to be perpendicular to the optical axis direction, and the positioning plane and the positioning structure ensure flatness, so that the parallelism of the optical axis of the external accessory and the base body 24 can be guaranteed. When the mounting seat 7 is equipped with various external accessories, the optical axis of the external accessories can be parallel to the optical axis of the infrared imaging module 1.

[0056] In some embodiments, the mounting positioning portion 28 includes a guide groove, and the bottom surface of the guide groove is the above-mentioned positioning plane. A guide groove is set on the base body 24, and the mounting seat 7 is installed in the guide groove. The bottom surface of the guide groove is perpendicular to the optical axis direction of the infrared imaging module 1. Then, the mounting seat 7 is positioned by the bottom surface of the guide groove, and can have a high position accuracy with the infrared imaging module 1 to meet the coaxiality of the external accessories and the infrared imaging module 1. Specifically, by setting the shape of the guide groove, the end of the mounting seat 7 is accommodated in the guide groove, that is, the side wall of the guide groove contacts the side wall of the mounting seat 7. Then, the guide groove plays a role in axial positioning while also limiting the mounting seat 7 in the circumferential direction, so as to facilitate the installation of the mounting seat 7. In other embodiments, the mounting positioning portion 28 can also be a positioning protrusion or other structure that cooperates with the mounting seat 7.

[0057] Furthermore, the positioning structure 74 includes an end face of the mounting seat 7 that contacts the positioning plane. The positioning plane is ensured to be perpendicular to the optical axis direction, and the positioning plane and the end face of the mounting seat 7 ensure flatness to ensure the parallelism of the mounting seat 7 and the optical axis of the base. When the mounting seat 7 is equipped with various external accessories, the optical axis of the external accessories can be parallel to the optical axis of the infrared imaging module 1. The positioning structure 74 uses the end face of the mounting seat 7. On the one hand, it is positioned through surface contact. Compared with multi-point contact and line contact, the contact area is large, and the positioning accuracy and reliability are high. On the other hand, there is no need to separately add a positioning structure 74 to the mounting seat 7. The end face of the mounting seat 7 is directly used as the positioning structure 74, which simplifies the structure. The bottom surface of the guide groove can be specifically provided with a mounting fixing hole 244 to be connected with the mounting seat 7 by bolts.

[0058] In some embodiments, the mounting seat 7 includes a mounting seat body 71 and a mounting seat protrusion 72 disposed on the mounting seat body 71, a fixing portion 73 for connecting an external accessory is disposed on the mounting seat protrusion 72, an opening is disposed on the side wall of the shell 23, and the mounting seat protrusion 72 is disposed in the opening. The mounting seat 7 and the base body 24 adopt a split structure, the mounting seat body 71 is disposed inside the shell 23, and the mounting seat protrusion 72 is disposed in the opening, that is, the mounting seat protrusion 72 can be exposed from the opening, including the mounting seat protrusion 72 being disposed in the opening, the outer end of the mounting seat protrusion 72 being flush with the opening or protruding from the opening or located within the opening, and also including the mounting seat protrusion 72 being opposite to the opening but not extending into the opening. As arranged above, on the one hand, the fixing portion 73 can be exposed to facilitate the connection of external accessories, and on the other hand, the mounting seat 7 has little impact on the appearance of the handle 2, and can keep the handle 2 neat in appearance. At the same time, the handle 2 has a relatively smooth appearance and is not prone to wear and tear such as scratches and bumps during use by users, further improving the user experience.

[0059] In some embodiments, the first mounting position 241 and the second mounting position 242 are disposed at one end of the base body 24 , and the mounting positioning portion 28 is disposed at the other opposite end surface of the base body 24 .

[0060] In some embodiments, the mounting seat 7 is connected to the external accessories through an external standard part; wherein the mounting seat 7 is detachably connected to the external standard part, and the external standard part can be connected to different external accessories. In the case where the fixing portion 73 is provided, the fixing portion 73 is connected to the external accessories through the external standard part. When the external accessories need to be installed, the external standard part is first connected to the mounting seat 7, and various external accessories can be assembled through the external standard part. When the external accessories do not need to be installed, the external standard part can be removed from the mounting seat 7. As set above, on the one hand, the appearance of the infrared camera is neater. On the other hand, it is convenient to connect with different appearance accessories through the external standard part. Specifically, the external standard part can be a standard connector such as a leather rail. The connection between the external standard part and the mounting seat 7 can be specifically connected by bolts, such as setting a screw hole on the mounting seat 7 to connect with the external standard part through bolts. Alternatively, the external standard part and the mounting seat 7 can also be connected by other conventional detachable methods such as snap-on.

[0061] In some embodiments, a cap 75 detachably connected to the mounting seat 7 is further included. By providing the cap 75, when no external accessories are required to be connected, the cap 75 can be installed on the mounting seat 7 to play a role of dust prevention, protection and aesthetics. The cap 75 can be specifically snap-fitted with the mounting seat 7, which is convenient for disassembly and assembly. In the case where the mounting seat 7 includes a mounting seat protrusion 72, and the mounting seat protrusion 72 protrudes from the opening on the handle 2, the cap 75 is specifically used to cover the mounting seat protrusion 72.

[0062] In some embodiments, see Figure 6-Figure 9 , the infrared imaging module 1 is provided with a first electrical connector 13, and the base body 24 is provided with a second electrical connector 25; when the infrared imaging module 1 is installed on the base body 24, the first electrical connector 13 and the second electrical connector 25 are in contact and conduction, so as to realize the electrical connection between the infrared imaging module 1 and the main body of the camera. By providing the first electrical connector 13 on the infrared imaging module 1 and the second electrical connector 25 on the base body 24, and utilizing the contact between the first electrical connector 13 and the second electrical connector 25 to realize conduction, when the infrared imaging module 1 is removed from the base body 24, the first electrical connector 13 and the second electrical connector 25 are no longer in contact and the electrical connection is naturally disconnected. The form of the first electrical connector 13 and the second electrical connector 25 is not specifically limited here, such as conductive contacts, conductive spring needles, conductive sheets, etc., and the forms of the first electrical connector 13 and the second electrical connector 25 can be the same or different, so long as they can realize contact and conduction. The second electrical connector 25 is specifically electrically connected to the display 3 provided on the handle 2.

[0063] In some embodiments, the infrared imaging module 1 further includes a first connection disk 14, and the first electrical connector 13 is disposed on the first connection disk 14. That is, by providing the first connection disk 14 to install the first electrical connector 13, when multiple first electrical connectors 13 are provided, it is convenient to integrate and install multiple first electrical connectors 13. Specifically, a contact hole is provided on the first connection disk 14, and the first electrical connector 13 is a contact placed in the contact hole, one end of the contact contacts the second electrical connector 25 to transmit information and power, and the other end is connected to the wiring port of the imaging core 12 through a flat cable.

[0064] In some embodiments, the base body 24 is provided with a second connection plate 26, and the second electrical connector 25 is provided on the second connection plate 26. The second connection plate 26 is provided to facilitate the provision of the second electrical connector 25. When multiple second electrical connectors 25 are provided, multiple second electrical connectors 25 can be integrated and installed.

[0065] In some embodiments, see Figure 1-Figure 2 The infrared camera also includes an illumination lamp 6, which is disposed at the bottom of the handle 2 and is used to illuminate at least the field of view below the infrared camera when the infrared camera is normally held in hand. It is understandable that the bottom of the handle 2 includes both the bottom surface of the handle 2 and the bottom of the side wall of the handle 2. By arranging the illumination lamp 6 at the bottom of the handle 2, when the user holds the handle 2 for normal shooting, at least the field of view below the infrared camera can be illuminated, so that when the infrared camera is shooting in poor light environments such as at night, especially when shooting in the wild, it can provide the user with lighting for the road surface under the feet, which is convenient for the user to observe the road surface and improves the user's experience.

[0066] In some embodiments, see Figure 1-Figure 2 The infrared camera also includes a display 3, which is movably arranged on the handle 2. The display 3 is electrically connected to the infrared imaging module 1 and is used to receive and display the infrared image collected by the infrared imaging module 1. By arranging the display 3 on the handle 2, the infrared camera has an external display 3 to display the infrared image. The display 3 can be moved to an open state and a closed state. Figure 1 As shown, when the display 3 is in the closed state, the screen of the display 3 is attached to the handle 2, which is convenient for carrying and can protect the screen of the display 3. It can be understood that the screen attached to the handle 2 here includes the screen body that displays the infrared image attached to the handle 2, such as the LED screen body attached to the handle 2, and the screen shell around the screen body attached to the handle 2. Fig.11As shown, when in the open state, the screen of the display 3 leaves the handle 2 and can be rotated to face the user for easy observation. Specifically, the screen can be rotated to the opposite and same direction as the infrared lens of the infrared imaging module 1, so that when the user shoots the front picture or takes a selfie, the collected infrared image can be conveniently observed through the display 3. When in use, the user can hold the handle 2, and when the infrared imaging module 1 is shooting, the collected image can be displayed via the display 3 for the user to observe. Since the display 3 is arranged outside the handle 2, the user can adjust the position and angle of the display 3 according to the observation habit, and it is not easy to cause eye fatigue even if it is used for a long time. In addition, when it is not necessary to observe the image, the display 3 can be moved to the closed state to protect the screen, while reducing the overall volume of the infrared camera, which is convenient for carrying the infrared camera. And the display is movably connected to the handle, and the user can adjust the position of the display according to different shooting needs, and the use is more flexible and diverse.

[0067] In some embodiments, the display 3 is connected to one side of the handle 2 and can rotate relative to the handle 2 in a first direction and a second direction; when the display 3 rotates relative to the handle 2 in the first direction to be in an open state, it can continue to rotate in the second direction until the screen faces the user. In this embodiment, the display 3 can rotate around the first direction and the second direction respectively, so that the range of movement of the display 3 is larger to meet different observation needs in a wider range. At the same time, it is convenient for the display 3 and the handle 2 to occupy a smaller volume when closed, so as to facilitate carrying and storage.

[0068] Specifically, the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction, which facilitates the setting of the rotating connection structure and the adjustment of the rotation state of the display 3.
