Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of monitoring devices, in particular to an installation structure of a highway monitoring device. Background Art

[0002] As an important part of the highway, the function and efficiency of the electromechanical system directly affect various indicators such as the operation service level, traffic capacity, emergency handling, and safety guarantee of the highway.

[0003] The electromechanical system mainly includes a monitoring system, a communication system, a lighting system, a tunnel management facility system, and a toll collection system. Among them, the monitoring system is mainly distributed along the line, at toll stations, service areas, tunnels, and bridges, and has classifications such as ETC information collection, speed limit and line crossing imaging, seat belt wearing and fatigue driving monitoring, etc. The establishment of the monitoring system mainly includes information collection devices, information processing devices, and terminals, and most of the information collection devices use barrel cameras.

[0004] Most of the bottoms of barrel cameras are provided with bases, and the bottoms are connected with supports through fasteners. There are flexible metal straps on the supports, and the metal straps are circularly fastened on the brackets through fasteners, and the installation of the monitoring device is completed. Most monitoring devices are installed outdoors and are greatly affected by dust, water vapor, vibration, impact, high temperature, cold and other harsh weather conditions. Not only are some devices prone to failure, but also the detection angle of the camera is extremely prone to slight deviation, resulting in the observation angle deviating from the corresponding lane, which extremely affects the accuracy of camera imaging. For example, for line crossing imaging, when the observation angle is slightly deviated, the observation of the wheel hub condition on the other side of the deviation direction will have a visual field deviation; in addition, the observation fields of many cameras are relatively scattered, not only imaging the vehicle conditions in the current lane, but also recording the vehicles in the adjacent lane on the edge of the visual field, making the information relatively scattered, and additional image calibration processing is required, which is very troublesome.

[0005] Therefore, the utility model provides an installation structure of a highway monitoring device, which makes the detection visual field of the camera converge on the current lane and is convenient for adjusting the state of the camera. Summary of the Utility Model

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0028] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying Figure 1-8 drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0029] To solve the problems existing in the prior art, the present embodiment provides an installation structure for highway monitoring equipment, including a bracket 1, on which a plurality of information collectors are arranged at intervals. The information collector includes a mounting base 3 and a camera 2 mounted on a fixed base 305. The mounting base 3 is adjustable in angle. A guiding cover 4 is embedded in the mounting base 3. The guiding cover 4 is buckled on the camera 2 and extends in the observation direction.

[0030] Details of the principle of this embodiment:

[0031] An installation structure for highway monitoring equipment includes a bracket 1. Only the crossbeam part of the bracket 1 for mounting the camera 2 is shown in the drawing. A plurality of information collectors are arranged at intervals on the bracket 1. The information collectors correspond to the lanes one by one. The information collector includes a mounting base 3 and a camera 2 mounted on a fixed base 305. The mounting base 3 is firmly mounted on the bracket 1 and its mounting angle on the bracket 1 is adjustable. By adjusting the mounting angle of the mounting base 3, the detection angle of view of the camera 2 can be adjusted. The more it deflects forward and downward, the smaller the length of the road condition detection range of the camera 2 for this lane, so as to flexibly adjust according to different road conditions;

[0032] A guiding cover 4 is embedded in the mounting base 3. The size of the guiding cover 4 is stepped: larger at the front and smaller at the rear. The rear end of the guiding cover 4 is buckled on the body of the barrel-shaped camera 2 and the front end extends in the observation direction. In the detection field of view of the camera, the two side walls of the guiding cover 4 correspond to the lane dividing lines on both sides of the lane, so as to limit the detection field of view of the camera 2, reduce the interference or information screening of the road condition information on the side lanes, and thus improve the detection accuracy of the monitoring equipment for situations such as vehicle line pressing and lane changing; the lower side of the front end of the guiding cover 4 is open, so as to avoid interfering with the monitoring angle of view of the camera 2 for the road conditions below.

[0033] In a further embodiment of this solution, the mounting base 3 includes an upper snap ring 301 and a lower snap ring 302. Semi-circular grooves are provided on the opposite side walls of the upper snap ring 301 and the lower snap ring 302 to form a circular groove that fits the outer edge surface of the bracket 1. The same side of the upper snap ring 301 and the lower snap ring 302 is rotatably connected, and the other side is detachably connected. A rectangular annular clamping seat 303 is provided at the upper end of the upper snap ring 301. One side of the clamping seat 303 is open, and a clamping groove 304 is provided on the inner wall of the clamping seat 303. A fixed base 305 that cooperates with the clamping groove 304 is provided at the bottom end of the camera 2. A limit bolt 306 is threadedly installed on the open side of the clamping seat 303. The upper end of the limit bolt 306 is circular and provided with a polygonal countersunk head.

[0034] During installation, first insert the fixing base 305 at the lower end of the camera 2 into the card slot 304 to limit the degree of freedom of the fixing base 305 through the card slot 304. Then, use a seven-shaped wrench to screw and install the limit bolt 306 on the card holder 303. The end of the limit bolt 306 abuts against the side wall of the fixing base 305, thereby fastening the camera 2 to the card holder 303. Subsequently, fasten the camera 2 to the upper buckle 301; then snap the upper buckle 301 and the lower buckle 302 onto the bracket 1 and align them with the lane. Then, use fasteners to firmly connect the upper buckle 301 and the lower buckle 302, thereby fixing the mounting seat 3 on the bracket 1, and the installation of the camera 2 is completed; by disassembling and assembling the limit bolt 306, the disassembly, replacement, or repair of the camera 2 can be completed without removing the entire mounting seat 3. This not only improves the disassembly and assembly efficiency but also avoids multiple disassembly and assembly of the mounting seat 3, preventing the fastening and braking effect from decreasing due to multiple movements of the contact surface between the mounting seat 3 and the bracket 1, and reducing the probability of the mounting seat 3 shifting due to weather influence.

[0035] Preferably, friction surfaces are provided on the inner walls of the semi-circular grooves of the upper buckle 301 and the lower buckle 302 to increase the offset resistance and adsorption force between the upper buckle 301 and the lower buckle 302 and the bracket 1, and improve the fastening effect of the mounting seat 3.

[0036] Preferably, the fastening parts of the upper buckle 301 and the lower buckle 302 are in the opposite direction to the detection direction of the camera 2, which not only improves the frontal aesthetics of the device but also prevents the installation part from protruding and interfering with the detection field of view below the camera 2.

[0037] In a further embodiment of this solution, a first threaded hole penetrating the lower buckle 302 is provided at the bottom end of the lower buckle 302. A positioning bolt 5 is installed with internal threads in the first threaded hole. A plurality of positioning holes 6 corresponding to the positioning bolt 5 are annularly arranged on the side wall of the support column. After the positioning bolt 5 is fastened in the first threaded hole, the end of the positioning bolt 5 is inserted into the positioning hole 6, thereby further limiting the lower buckle 302, preventing the mounting seat 3 from deflecting around the bracket 1 and axially shifting, and improving the positioning accuracy of the camera 2; and by adjusting the positions of the positioning bolt 5 and the corresponding positioning hole 6, the installation angle of the mounting seat 3 can be adjusted, realizing the adjustment of the detection field of view of the camera 2, which is convenient and fast.

[0038] In a further embodiment of this solution, after the mounting seat 3 is divided into the upper buckle 301 and the lower buckle 302, the guide cover 4 is fixed on the upper buckle 301. Refer to the attached Figure 3 and attached Figure 6 As shown, a notch is provided on the lower side of the rear end of the guide cover 4. When the fixing base 305 of the camera 2 is inserted into the card slot 304, the shaft section at the connection between the fixing base 305 and the camera 2 is embedded in the notch, which not only ensures the stable installation of the guide cover 4 but also avoids interference during the insertion of the camera 2.

[0039] In a further embodiment of this solution, the upper sidewall of the guiding cover 4 is transparent and the two sides are opaque. The transparency of the upper sidewall is for light transmission to avoid overly dim light and affect the observation accuracy. The opacity of the two sides prevents perspective and observing adjacent lanes.

[0040] In a further embodiment of this solution, extension parts are provided at one ends of the upper snap ring 301 and the lower snap ring 302 away from the hinged part. A through hole is provided in the extension part of the lower snap ring 302, and a second threaded hole corresponding to the through hole is provided in the extension part of the upper snap ring 301. A fastening bolt 7 is inserted into the through hole, and the fastening bolt 7 is in threaded cooperation with the second threaded hole; the installation part of the fastening bolt 7 is raised through the extension part, the second threaded hole and the through hole are axially aligned and obliquely arranged, and the fastening bolt 7 is inserted into the through hole and then threadedly connected to the second threaded hole, so as to tightly connect the side of the upper snap ring 301 and the lower snap ring 302, and then complete the installation operation of the mounting seat 3.

[0041] In a further embodiment of this solution, the limit bolt 306 includes a circular limit end and a threaded end. The threaded end is hollow and a convex edge is provided at the bottom end of the inner hole. A limit rod 8 is inserted into the threaded end. A third threaded hole is provided on the upper snap ring 301, and the threaded end is in threaded cooperation with the third threaded hole. The limit rod 8 is fixed in the third threaded hole. A convex platform cooperating with the convex edge is provided at the upper end of the limit rod 8. Through the cooperation of the convex edge and the convex platform, the limit bolt 306 is limited on the card seat 303, thereby preventing the limit bolt 306 from separating and improving the installation safety of the camera 2; a round hole corresponding to the third threaded hole is provided on the card seat 303, and the diameter of the round hole corresponds to the limit end of the limit bolt 306. In the non-use state, the limit bolt 306 is in a hidden state to avoid interference with the insertion of the fixing seat 305 of the camera 2.

[0042] The above is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, according to the technical solution of the present invention and its inventive concept, makes equivalent substitutions or changes, and should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
