DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] 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.

[0023] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 3 The utility model provides an embodiment: a multi-modal adjustable camera, including a base 1, a motor 2 is fixedly connected inside the base 1, a rotating column 3 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 2, a motor 2 4 is fixedly connected inside the rotating column 3, a driving gear 5 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 2 4, a spur gear 6 is rotatably connected inside the rotating column 3, a bevel gear 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the spur gear 6, a bevel gear 2 8 is rotatably connected inside the rotating column 3, the bevel gear 1 7 is meshed with the bevel gear 2 8, a transmission shaft 9 is fixedly connected inside the bevel gear 2 8, a loading platform 10 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the transmission shaft 9, a multi-modal camera body 11 is slidably connected to the top of the loading platform 10, a transmission assembly is arranged inside the loading platform 10, and the transmission assembly is used to transmit power to the clamping assembly;

[0024] Specifically, when using the multi-modal adjustable camera to adjust the angle, first start the motor 2 4, and the rotation of the motor 2 4 drives the active gear 5. This process is achieved through a high-precision gear transmission system to ensure efficient power transmission. The rotation of the active gear 5 then drives the spur gear 1 6. The rotation of the spur gear 1 6 transmits power to the bevel gear 1 7 through its meshing with the bevel gear 1 7. The rotation of the bevel gear 1 7 not only drives the bevel gear 2 8, but also realizes force amplification and angle fine-tuning through the special design of the bevel gear. The rotation of the bevel gear 2 8 drives the transmission shaft 9, and the rotation of the transmission shaft 9 directly acts on the loading platform 10. The loading platform 10 drives the multi-modal camera body 11 to accurately adjust the angle in the vertical direction. In order to achieve horizontal angle adjustment, start motor 2, which is connected to the loading platform 10 through the rotating column 3 to further accurately control the horizontal rotation of the multimodal camera body 11. The precise control of motor 2 is achieved by an advanced control system, which integrates an artificial intelligence algorithm and can automatically calculate and adjust the optimal angle of the multimodal camera body 11 according to the image data captured by the multimodal camera body 11 and preset parameters. The entire adjustment process not only reflects the precision of the mechanical design, but also demonstrates the advantages of the multimodal camera body 11 in automation and intelligence. Through real-time analysis and adjustment of the intelligent algorithm, the multimodal camera body 11 can quickly respond to environmental changes and achieve accurate capture and shooting of the target.

[0025] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 3 The transmission assembly includes a worm 14 and a worm wheel 15, the worm 14 is meshed with the worm wheel 15, the bottom of the worm wheel 15 is rotatably connected to the inside of the loading platform 10, and one side of the outer wall of the worm 14 is rotatably connected to the inside of the loading platform 10;

[0026] Specifically, the reason for using the worm 14 and worm wheel 15 transmission in the multi-modal adjustable camera is that the worm 14 and worm wheel 15 transmission is a highly efficient mechanical transmission method, which realizes power transmission through the meshing of the worm 14 and the worm wheel 15. The worm 14 and worm wheel 15 transmission has a compact structure and occupies a small space, which is very suitable for occasions with limited space. In addition, due to the meshing method of the worm 14 and the worm wheel 15, this transmission method can achieve smooth operation, reduce vibration and noise, thereby improving the operating stability and reliability of the component.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 3 A knob 12 is rotatably connected to one side of the outer wall of the loading platform 10, a limit block 20 is slidably connected inside the multimodal camera body 11, a slide groove 21 is provided inside the multimodal camera body 11, and the outer wall of the limit block 20 is slidably connected inside the slide groove 21, a gear ring 16 is rotatably connected inside the loading platform 10, and the gear ring 16 is meshed with the worm gear 15, a transmission column 13 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the knob 12, and the outer wall of the transmission column 13 is rotatably connected to the inside of the loading platform 10, and one side of the outer wall of the transmission column 13 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the worm 14, a slider 19 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the limit block 20, and the outer wall of the slider 19 is slidably connected to the inside of the loading platform 10, and one side of the outer wall of the slider 19 is fixedly connected to a toothed plate 18, a spur gear 17 is rotatably connected inside the loading platform 10, and the spur gear 17 is meshed with the toothed plate 18, and the spur gear 17 is meshed with the gear ring 16, and a cavity 22 is provided inside the loading platform 10;

[0028] Specifically, when the multimodal camera body 11 needs to be inspected and repaired, the operator first turns the knob 12. The design of the knob 12 is simple and intuitive, which is convenient for the operator to quickly locate and operate. The knob 12 is connected to the worm 14 through the transmission column 13. When the knob 12 is turned, the transmission column 13 rotates accordingly, thereby driving the worm 14 to perform precise rotational movement. The rotation of the worm 14 acts on the worm gear 15. The special design of the worm gear 15 enables it to provide a smooth and uniform force output when rotating, ensuring the smoothness and stability of the entire adjustment process. The rotation of the worm gear 15 drives the gear ring 16. The meshing of the gear ring 16 with the worm gear 15 ensures the transmission of force and the precise adjustment of the angle. The rotation of the gear ring 16 will drive the spur gear 2 17 to rotate. The cooperation of the spur gear 2 17 with the gear ring 16 further ensures the transmission of force and the precise adjustment of the angle. The second 17 is connected to the slider 19 through the tooth plate 18. The design of the tooth plate 18 enables it to accurately convert rotational motion into linear motion of the slider 19. Under the guidance of the tooth plate 18, the slider 19 moves in a direction away from the center point of the loading platform 10. This process ensures the accuracy and reliability of the movement through precise mechanical design. When the slider 19 moves to the predetermined position, the limit of the multimodal camera body 11 is released. At this time, the operator can easily remove the multimodal camera body 11. The design of the entire inspection and maintenance process fully considers the convenience and safety of operation. Through this design, the operator can quickly and safely inspect and maintain the camera body without using additional tools. This structure not only improves the maintenance efficiency, but also reduces the maintenance cost, providing users with a more stable and reliable monitoring solution.

[0029] Working principle: When the multi-modal adjustable camera is used and its angle needs to be adjusted, first start the motor 2 4, the motor 2 4 drives the active gear 5 to rotate, and then the active gear 5 drives the spur gear 1 6 to rotate, and the rotation of the spur gear 1 6 drives the bevel gear 1 7 to rotate, and then when the bevel gear 1 7 rotates, the bevel gear 2 8 is forced to rotate, and at the same time, the rotation of the bevel gear 2 8 drives the transmission shaft 9 to rotate, which makes the loading platform 10 rotate under force, thereby driving the multi-modal camera body 11 to move and adjust the vertical angle, and then start the motor 1 2, and the motor 1 2 drives the rotating column 3 and the loading platform 10. The multimodal camera body 11 is adjusted in the horizontal direction until the angle is appropriate. When the multimodal camera body 11 needs to be inspected and repaired, the knob 12 can be turned. The knob 12 drives the worm 14 to rotate through the transmission column 13, so that the worm gear 15 is forced to rotate. At this time, the rotation of the worm gear 15 will drive the gear ring 16 to rotate, and the rotation of the gear ring 16 drives the spur gear 2 17 to rotate. Then the spur gear 2 17 drives the slider 19 through the tooth plate 18 to move away from the center point of the loading platform 10 until the limit on the multimodal camera body 11 is released. At this time, the operator can remove the multimodal camera body 11 for inspection and maintenance.
