Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicles, in particular to an anti-fog front-view camera for unmanned aerial vehicles. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of the times, the application of drones in real life is becoming more and more extensive. As one of the important components of drones, cameras play a vital role in the application of drones. Cameras, also known as computer cameras, computer eyes, electronic eyes, etc., are a video input device that captures images through lenses, and then the photosensitive component circuits and control components in the camera process the images and convert them into digital signals that can be recognized by computers. Finally, they are input into the computer through a parallel port or USB connection, and the image is restored by software.

[0003] In the application of drones, the role of cameras is not only to take photos and videos, but can also be used for navigation, target recognition, environmental monitoring and other fields. However, in some special environments, such as foggy and rainy days, the shooting effect of the camera will be greatly affected. This is because fog will scatter light, resulting in blurred images and even inability to recognize targets. In order to solve this problem, people have developed a special camera, namely the drone anti-fog front-view camera.

[0004] The anti-fog front-view camera for drones is a camera specially designed for drones. It has an anti-fog function and can work normally in harsh environments such as foggy days and rainy days. This camera uses advanced optical technology and image processing algorithms, which can effectively reduce the impact of fog on the image and improve the image clarity and contrast. The working principle of the anti-fog front-view camera for drones is to reduce the condensation of fog on the lens surface by applying a special anti-fog coating on the lens surface. This coating can make the fog form a uniform water film on the lens surface instead of water droplets, thereby reducing the scattering of light and improving image clarity.

[0005] In addition, the drone's anti-fog front-view camera also uses advanced image processing algorithms, which can process the captured images in real time to remove the impact of fog. This algorithm can automatically adjust image contrast, brightness, color and other parameters according to the image characteristics and the distribution of fog, making the image clearer and more natural.

[0006] In short, the anti-fog front-view camera for drones is a very practical camera. It can provide clear and accurate images for drones in harsh environments, improve the flight safety and mission execution efficiency of drones. With the continuous development of technology, I believe that this camera will be used in more fields.

[0007] The inventor discovered during the process of implementing the utility model:

[0008] Existing anti-fog front-view cameras for drones are generally improved to address the problem of fogging of the camera lens when encountering poor conditions and relatively humid environments such as agriculture. For example, the authorized Chinese patent CN219134564U discloses an anti-fog front-view camera for drones, which can remove fog on the outer surface of the lens through the use of structures such as a camera mounting box, a card interface, a camera observation lens, a connecting sleeve, a guide hole, a heating resistor, a connecting block, a guide plate, a threaded groove and a groove, so that the drone's line of sight is not obstructed and the flight risk is reduced. In addition, the removed fog gathers to form water flow and is discharged through the groove, which has good defogging effect and practicality.

[0009] However, when the anti-fog front-view camera of the drone in the above-cited document is in use, its connecting sleeve is tightly installed with the camera mounting box through the threaded groove opened on the camera mounting box. However, this threaded connection method will inevitably cause wear during the process of repeated unscrewing. As the number of uses increases, the wear will gradually increase, resulting in a gradual deterioration of the connection effect. Over time, the connection between the connecting sleeve and the camera mounting box will no longer be tight, and may even fall off after loosening. This is because the threaded connection method itself has certain limitations, and its connection reliability and stability are easily affected by repeated disassembly and installation. In addition, the drone will be subject to various vibrations and shocks during flight, which will also have an adverse effect on the threaded connection effect of the connecting sleeve. Therefore, it is necessary to find a more reliable and stable connection method to ensure the normal use and safe flight of the anti-fog front-view camera of the drone. Summary of the invention

[0026] The technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but this embodiment should not be understood as a limitation to the present invention.

[0027] The utility model Figures 1 to 4 As shown:

[0028] An anti-fog front-view camera for a drone comprises a camera mounting box 1 and a connecting sleeve 2, one end of the connecting sleeve 2 is plugged into the inner side of the camera mounting box 1, two convenient disassembly mechanisms 300 in mirror symmetry are installed on the outer side of the connecting sleeve 2, and the connecting sleeve 2 is tightly connected to the camera mounting box 1 through the convenient disassembly mechanisms 300;

[0029] The connection sleeve 2 on the camera mounting box 1 and the convenient disassembly and assembly mechanism 300 cooperate with each other to provide a convenient disassembly and assembly function, ensuring a tight connection between the connection sleeve and the camera mounting box. Even in the case of repeated disassembly and installation, a stable and reliable connection effect can be maintained, reducing wear on the connection parts, extending the service life of the connection sleeve and the camera mounting box, avoiding the problem of loose connection or falling off due to wear, reducing the flight risk caused by camera failure, and improving the safety and reliability of the drone.

[0030] In this embodiment, the convenient disassembly and assembly mechanism 300 is a structure that can maintain a stable and reliable connection effect even in the case of repeated disassembly and assembly, thereby reducing the wear on the connection parts.

[0031] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the convenient disassembly and assembly mechanism 300 includes a hollow rectangular connecting block 301 fixedly mounted on the outer side of the camera mounting box 1 and a regulating box 302 fixedly connected to the side of the hollow rectangular connecting block 301 away from the camera mounting box 1, a connecting component plugged into the inner side of the hollow rectangular connecting block 301 is connected to the outer side of the connecting sleeve 2, a supporting connecting block 304 and a pulling component connected to the supporting connecting block 304 and located in the regulating box 302 are fixedly mounted on the inner side wall of the regulating box 302 by bolts, an elastic pushing component is connected to the pulling component, and a limiting component connected to the pulling component for clamping and limiting the connecting component;

[0032] It should be noted that the connecting assembly includes a fixed block 3031 and a limit block 3032; the fixed block 3031 is fixedly installed on the outside of the connecting sleeve 2 by bolts, and one end of the limit block 3032 is fixedly installed on one side of the fixed block 3031 by bolts, and the other end thereof passes through the hollow rectangular connecting block 301 and extends to the outside of the hollow rectangular connecting block 301, in order to provide the limit assembly with precise limit and positioning guidance. The fixed block 3031 ensures the stability of the connection, and the limit block 3032 provides precise limit and guiding functions for the entire device by passing through the hollow rectangular connecting block 301.

[0033] In this embodiment, the pulling assembly includes a T-shaped connecting block 3051, a convex block 3052, a sliding rod 3053 and a toggle rod 3054, the T-shaped connecting block 3051 is slidably connected to the through hole of the supporting connecting block 304, the inner side of the convex block 3052 is fixedly connected to one end of the T-shaped connecting block 3051, the outer side of the sliding rod 3053 is slidably connected to the inside of the T-shaped connecting block 3051, and the two ends of the sliding rod 3053 are respectively fixedly connected to the ends of the regulating box 302. On one side of the inner wall and the supporting connecting block 304, there are multiple sliding rods 3053 that are evenly distributed, one end of the toggle rod 3054 is fixedly connected to one side of the convex block 3052, and there are two toggle rods 3054 that are mirror-symmetrically distributed, so that when the toggle rod 3054 is pulled to move, the T-shaped connecting block 3051 fixed on the convex block 3052 can be stably driven to move stably, thereby stably driving the limit assembly to move.

[0034] In addition, the regulating box 302 is provided with a moving hole 306 for the toggle rod 3054 to slide in, so as to further improve the moving stability of the toggle rod 3054 while limiting the moving distance of the toggle rod 3054.

[0035] In this embodiment, the elastic pushing component includes a concave block 3071 and a return spring 3072; the number of concave blocks 3071 is two and they are distributed in a mirror-symmetrical manner. The two concave blocks 3071 are respectively fixedly connected to the supporting connection block 304 and the opposite side of the convex block 3052. The inner side of the return spring 3072 is sleeved on the outer side of the T-shaped connection block 3051 and is located between the opposite sides of the two concave blocks 3071. The return spring 3072 plays a role in storing and releasing elastic potential energy in the device. When the device is working, the T-shaped connection block 3051 moves under the action of external force. In this process, the return spring 3072 is compressed and stores elastic potential energy. When the external force disappears, the return spring 3072 releases the stored elastic potential energy to generate a strong thrust. This thrust acts on the T-shaped connection block 3051 to push it back to its original position.

[0036] In this embodiment, the limit assembly includes a hollow sliding block 3081, a pushing rod 3082 and an arc-shaped plug block 3083; one side of the hollow sliding block 3081 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the control box 302 by bolts, one end of the pushing rod 3082 is fixedly connected to one side of the convex block 3052, and one side of the arc-shaped plug block 3083 is fixedly connected to one end of the pushing rod 3082 away from the convex block 3052;

[0037] One end of the push rod 3082 away from the convex block 3052 passes through the control box 302 and the hollow rectangular connecting block 301 in sequence and extends to one side of the arc-shaped plug-in block 3083 to be connected to the arc-shaped plug-in block 3083, so as to stably limit the movement of the limit block 3032;

[0038] It should be further explained that a slot 309 for the arc-shaped plug-in block 3083 to fit in is provided on one side of the limit block 3032 so as to enable a tight connection between the connecting sleeve 2 and the camera mounting box 1 .

[0039] The working principle of this utility model:

[0040] When the connection sleeve 2 needs to be tightly connected to the camera mounting box 1, one end of the connection sleeve 2 is first inserted into the inner side of the camera mounting box 1, so that the fixing block 3031 and the limiting block 3032 on the connection sleeve 2 correspond to the inner side of the hollow rectangular connection block 301. Then, by pulling the toggle rod 3054 to slide in the moving hole 306, the convex block 3052 and the T-shaped connection block 3051 are driven to move along the direction of the sliding rod 3053. During the movement of the T-shaped connection block 3051, it drives the pushing rod 3082 and the arc-shaped plug-in block 3083 to move together, so that the arc-shaped plug-in block 3083 is gradually inserted into the slot 309 on the limiting block 3032. At the same time, the movement of the T-shaped connecting block 3051 will also compress the return spring 3072, causing it to store elastic potential energy. At this time, the toggle rod 3054 is released, and the arc plug block 3083 is fully inserted into the slot 309 under the action of the return spring 3072 releasing the elastic potential energy, so that the tight connection between the connecting sleeve 2 and the camera mounting box 1 is achieved. At this time, the return spring 3072 is in a compressed state, and it will apply a reverse thrust to the T-shaped connecting block 3051, so that the T-shaped connecting block 3051, the pushing rod 3082 and the arc plug block 3083 remain in the current position, thereby ensuring the stability of the connection. When it is necessary to remove the connecting sleeve 2, it is only necessary to pull the toggle rod 3054 again to make it move in the opposite direction, and at the same time drive the pushing rod 3082 and the arc plug block 3083 to be pulled out of the slot 309. At this time, the connection between the connecting sleeve 2 and the camera mounting box 1 is released, and the connecting sleeve 2 can be easily pulled out of the camera mounting box 1.

[0041] Compared with the prior art: the anti-fog front-view camera for the drone can provide a convenient disassembly and assembly function through the mutual cooperation between the connecting sleeve 2 on the camera mounting box 1 and the convenient disassembly and assembly mechanism 300, thereby ensuring a tight connection between the connecting sleeve and the camera mounting box, and maintaining a stable and reliable connection effect even in the case of repeated disassembly and installation, thereby reducing the wear on the connecting parts, extending the service life of the connecting sleeve and the camera mounting box, avoiding the problem of loose connection or falling off due to wear, reducing the flight risk caused by camera failure, improving the safety and reliability of the drone, and solving the problem of easy wear and poor connection effect of the connecting sleeve of the existing anti-fog front-view camera for drones.

[0043] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention.
