[0045] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the utility model, the technical solution in the embodiment of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiment of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiment is only a part of the embodiment of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiment of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0046] As mentioned in the background technology, since the traditional technology adopts gear-driven focus ring for transmission, the relative driving mode is in a meshing state. When implementing this driving mode, since the gears and the focus ring are both exposed to the outside, they are very susceptible to interference from external factors and affect their stable meshing drive, resulting in poor stability in the actual focusing use state.

[0047] In order to solve this technical problem, the utility model provides an automatic focusing mechanism by extracting high-frequency information of an image, which is applied to automatic focusing.

[0048] Specifically, please refer to Figure 1-Figure 7 The autofocus mechanism that extracts high-frequency information from images specifically includes:

[0049] Linear module 1;

[0050] The linear module 2 2 is disposed on one side of the linear module 1 , and the linear module 2 2 has a camera fixing member 26;

[0051] A camera mechanism 3, which is arranged on the camera fixing member 26 and is used to extract high-frequency information of the image;

[0052] A focus mechanism 4, which is arranged on one side of the camera mechanism 3 and is used for adjusting the focus;

[0053] The focusing mechanism 4 includes a friction wheel 41 and a driving member 42 connected to the bottom of the friction wheel 41;

[0054] The driving member 42 is connected to the camera fixing member 26 via the side frame 43 .

[0055] The utility model provides an automatic focusing mechanism that extracts high-frequency information of an image. Through the cooperation between the linear module 1 and the linear module 2 2, when the servo motor 420 drives the friction wheel 41 to rotate and focus, the height and front and back positions of the high-frequency camera 31 can be synchronously realized, which is further beneficial to the automatic focusing of the camera.

[0056] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the utility model, the technical solution in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0057] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and the features and technical solutions in the embodiments may be combined with each other.

[0058] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters denote similar items in the following drawings, and therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, further definition and explanation thereof is not required in subsequent drawings.

[0059] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, an automatic focusing mechanism for extracting high-frequency information of an image comprises a linear module 1; a linear module 2 2, which is arranged at one side of the linear module 1, and the linear module 2 2 has a camera fixing part 26; a camera mechanism 3, which is arranged on the camera fixing part 26 for extracting high-frequency information of the image; a focusing mechanism 4, which is arranged at one side of the camera mechanism 3 for adjusting the focus; the focusing mechanism 4 comprises a friction wheel 41 and a driving member 42 connected to the bottom of the friction wheel 41, wherein the driving member 42 is connected to the camera fixing part 26 via a side frame 43.

[0060] Please refer to Figure 2 , the driving member 42 includes a servo motor 420 and a coupling 421 connected to the output end of the servo motor 420;

[0061] The coupling 421 is fixed to the bottom of the friction wheel 41, the servo motor 420 is fixedly mounted on the side frame 43, and the side frame 43 is fastened to the camera fixing member 26;

[0062] The camera mechanism 3 includes a high-frequency camera 31 mounted on the camera fixing member 26, and the high-frequency camera 31 has a zoom ring 32, and the friction wheel 41 abuts against one side of the zoom ring 32 to drive it to rotate and zoom;

[0063] Before actual autofocusing, an external computer device receives the image information captured by the high-frequency camera 31, and obtains actual focus data after calculation by the external computer system. The data drives the corresponding servo motor 420 to drive the coupling 421 to rotate, so that the coupling 421 drives the friction wheel 41 to rotate. Since the friction wheel 41 and the zoom ring 32 are in a state of conflict, the zoom ring 32 will rotate synchronously, thereby achieving effective side focus.

[0064] The above-mentioned calculation of focus data using captured image information collected by an external computer device is a mature and complete prior art, so it is not further elaborated in this embodiment. For details, reference may be made to a binocular camera automatic focusing mechanism disclosed in Chinese utility model patent CN 210348158 U.

[0065] The automatic focusing mechanism provided in Example 1 by extracting high-frequency information of an image is further optimized. Specifically, Figure 4 As shown, the linear module 1 includes a support base 11, an adjustment motor 12 connected to one side of the support base 11, and an adjustment screw 13 connected to the output end of the adjustment motor 12. An adjustment slider 14 threadedly assembled with the adjustment screw 13 is slidably provided on the support base 11;

[0066] The linear module 2 includes a support seat 21 fixedly connected to one side of the adjusting slider 14, an adjusting motor 22 connected to one side of the support seat 21, and an adjusting screw rod 23 connected to the output end of the adjusting motor 22;

[0067] Among them, an adjusting slider 24 threadedly assembled with the adjusting screw rod 23 is slidably provided on the surface of the supporting seat 21 , and a camera fixing part 26 is connected to one side of the adjusting slider 24 .

[0068] Through the above-mentioned structural design, the initial position of the high-frequency camera 31 can be adjusted according to different inspection objects to be photographed. Specifically, the adjusting motor 12 can be started to drive the adjusting screw 13 to rotate, so that the adjusting screw 13 drives the adjusting slider 14 thereon to slide along the height of the support seat 11, thereby adjusting the height of the high-frequency camera 31 on the linear module 2. Similarly, the adjusting motor 22 can be started to drive the adjusting screw 23 to rotate, so that the adjusting screw 23 drives the adjusting slider 24 to slide along the surface of the support seat 21, so as to drive the camera fixing part 26 connected thereto to adjust the front and rear position. The actual adjustment situation can be pre-adjusted according to the actual situation of the object to be inspected, so that the subsequent zoom ring 32 can be adjusted to a suitable focus position.

[0069] The automatic focusing mechanism provided in Embodiment 1 or 2 by extracting high-frequency information of an image is further optimized, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, a protective structure 5 is provided on the camera mechanism 3 and the focus mechanism 4;

[0070] The protection structure 5 includes a shell 51, and two sides of the shell 51 are respectively provided with a first receiving groove 52 and a second receiving groove 53;

[0071] The housing 51 is respectively mounted on the corresponding zoom ring 32 and the friction wheel 41 through the first receiving groove 52 and the second receiving groove 53;

[0072] The zoom ring 32 and the friction wheel 41 can rotate in the corresponding receiving groove 1 52 and receiving groove 2 53 respectively;

[0073] A support arm 58 is connected to the surface of the housing 51 for connecting with the side frame 43;

[0074] The upward opening of the receiving groove 1 52 is movably connected to a rotating ring 54 through a bearing, and a connecting ring 55 is fixed to the top of the rotating ring 54;

[0075] An embedding groove 56 is formed in the connecting ring 55 , and a sealing rubber ring 57 is embedded in the embedding groove 56 , wherein the inner side of the sealing rubber ring 57 abuts against the surface of the zoom ring 32 to form a seal.

[0076] When the servo motor 420 is started to drive the coupling 421 and the friction wheel 41 thereon to rotate, the rotating friction wheel 41 will drive the zoom ring 32 abutting against one side thereof to rotate, thereby realizing the zoom adjustment of the high-frequency camera 31;

[0077] During the zoom adjustment process, since the sealing rubber ring 57 is in contact with the surface of the high-frequency camera 31, it can effectively block external dust particles, improve the cleanliness of the contact surface between the friction wheel 41 and the zoom ring 32, avoid external interference, and ensure the stability of the zoom adjustment.

[0078] The use process of the automatic focusing mechanism provided by the utility model by extracting high-frequency information of the image is as follows: the adjustment of the linear module 1 and the linear module 2 2 is pre-adjusted according to the object to be detected, so that the high-frequency camera 31 thereon is located at a suitable position, and then the high-frequency camera 31 transmits the image picture it has collected to the external computer device, and drives the servo motor 420 to rotate through calculation, so that the coupling 421 thereon drives the friction wheel 41 thereon to form a conflict with the zoom ring 32, thereby forming a focus on the high-frequency camera 31. In the above-mentioned focusing process, the protective structure 5 can protect the friction wheel 41 and the zoom ring 32, avoid external influences, and ensure stability during zooming.

[0079] In the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", "connected", "fixed" and the like should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral one; it can be a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, or communication with each other; it can be a direct connection, or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements, unless otherwise clearly defined. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0080] Obviously, the embodiments described above are only some embodiments of the utility model, rather than all embodiments. The preferred embodiments of the utility model are given in the accompanying drawings, but they do not limit the patent scope of the utility model. The utility model can be implemented in many different forms. On the contrary, the purpose of providing these embodiments is to make the understanding of the disclosure of the utility model more thorough and comprehensive. Although the utility model is described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, for those skilled in the art, it is still possible to modify the technical solutions recorded in the aforementioned specific implementation methods, or to replace some of the technical features therein with equivalents.
