Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of underwater camera equipment, and particularly relates to an underwater camera with a lighting function. Background Art

[0002] An underwater camera is a device used for collecting images in an underwater environment and is an important device for underwater operations. Since the light transmittance of water is worse than that of air, when shooting at the bottom of the water, the surrounding environment is darker and the shooting effect is not good. The camera usually needs to be equipped with a lighting device for light compensation.

[0003] An underwater camera with a lighting function provided by the application number 202222478234.X includes a main body, a camera module and a plurality of light sources. The light sources and the camera module are both hermetically assembled inside the main body, and the plurality of light sources are distributed around the acquisition head of the camera module with the acquisition head of the camera module as the center.

[0004] By integrating the light source and the camera module into one body, the volume of the underwater camera is reduced. However, the angle of the light source fixed inside the main body is fixed. When the camera is close to the object to be photographed, the brightness in the central area of the lens is insufficient, and the shooting effect of the camera is not good, resulting in that the camera needs to keep a certain distance from the object to be photographed to ensure the shooting effect during shooting.

[0031] Embodiment 1:

[0032] Please refer to Figures 1-4 , and the above technical solutions of the present utility model will be described in detail through the following embodiments:

[0033] An underwater camera with a lighting function includes:

[0034] The housing 1, the housing 1 includes a sealed cylinder 11, both ends of the sealed cylinder 11 are sealed, a light source groove 15 is provided inside the head of the sealed cylinder 11, a camera mounting sleeve 14 is welded at the center of the light source groove 15, a camera assembly 2 is provided at the center of the camera mounting sleeve 14, and a plurality of light source assemblies 3 are rotatably mounted in the light source groove 15.

[0035] The sealed cylinder 11 is integrally formed of a metal material and is used to protect the internal equipment.

[0036] A sealed end cap 12 is threadedly connected to the outside of the head of the sealed cylinder 11, the sealed end cap 12 is transparent, and a sealed tail cap 13 is threadedly connected to the outside of the tail of the sealed cylinder 11.

[0037] The sealed end cap 12 and the sealed tail cap 13 are used to seal the sealed cylinder 11.

[0038] A light-transmitting plate 16 is adhesively pasted to the inside of the head of the camera mounting sleeve 14, and a second light-transmitting plate 17 is adhesively pasted to the inside of the opening of the light source groove 15. The light-transmitting plate 16 and the second light-transmitting plate 17 are transparent.

[0039] The light-transmitting plate 16 and the second light-transmitting plate 17 are made of acrylic material.

[0040] The camera assembly 2 is used to capture images.

[0041] The camera assembly 2 includes a camera 21. The camera 21 is inserted into the camera mounting sleeve 14, a camera base 22 is clamped to the tail of the camera 21, and the camera base 22 is fixedly connected to the tail end of the camera mounting sleeve 14.

[0042] The camera 21 uses a known imaging device. The camera base 22 is made of a metal material and is fixedly connected to the tail end of the camera mounting sleeve 14 by screws.

[0043] A wire passing hole 23 is provided in the middle of the camera base 22 for the power line and data line of the camera 21 to pass through.

[0044] The light source assembly 3 includes a base 33. The base 33 is rotatably connected to the light source groove 15. A lamp bead 32 is welded below the base 33. A condenser hood 31 is provided outside the lamp bead 32. An angle adjustment assembly 4 is connected to the top surface of the base 33.

[0045] The condenser hood 31 is used to converge the light emitted by the lamp bead 32 to ensure that the light emitted by the lamp bead 32 is converged into a beam. The rotation of the base 33 can drive the lamp bead 32 and the condenser hood 31 to rotate, thereby changing the light irradiation direction.

[0046] The angle adjustment assembly 4 includes a sliding ring 44 which is slidably mounted outside the camera mounting sleeve 14. The sliding ring 44 is connected with a driving assembly for driving the sliding ring 44 to move. The sliding ring 44 is connected with the base 33 through a connecting rod assembly. When the sliding ring 44 moves, it can drive the base 33 to rotate through the connecting rod assembly.

[0047] The driving assembly includes a first motor 41. The first motor 41 is connected with a first lead screw 43 through a bevel gear transmission device 42. The first lead screw 43 is vertically downward and threadedly connected with the sliding ring 44.

[0048] The first motor 41 is fixedly mounted on the top surface of the camera base 22 by screws. The output shaft of the first motor 41 is clamped with the bevel gear transmission device 42. When the first motor 41 works, it can drive the first lead screw 43 to rotate through the bevel gear transmission device 42. Since the first lead screw 43 is threadedly connected with the sliding ring 44, when the first lead screw 43 rotates, it can drive the sliding ring 44 to move.

[0049] The sliding ring 44 is slidably connected with a first slide rod 45. The first slide rod 45 is symmetrical to the first lead screw 43 relative to the sliding ring 44.

[0050] The first slide rod 45 is rotatably mounted outside the camera mounting sleeve 14 and is parallel to the axis of the camera mounting sleeve 14. The first slide rod 45 can limit the moving direction of the sliding ring 44.

[0051] The connecting rod assembly includes a plurality of connecting rods 46. The connecting rods 46 are rotatably mounted outside the sliding ring 44. The tail end of each connecting rod 46 is rotatably connected with a connecting frame 47. Each connecting frame 47 is welded and connected to the top surface of a base 33.

[0052] When the sliding ring 44 moves, it can drive the head of the connecting rod 46 to move, thereby driving the connecting frame 47 to move. Since the base 33 is immovable, the connecting rod 46 will rotate, thereby driving the base 33 to rotate through the connecting frame 47.

[0053] In this embodiment, when the operator uses this device, the first motor 41 is controlled to work. The first motor 41 can drive the first lead screw 43 to rotate through the bevel gear transmission device 42. Since the first lead screw 43 is threadedly connected with the sliding ring 44, when the first lead screw 43 rotates, it can drive the sliding ring 44 to move.

[0054] When the sliding ring 44 moves, it can drive the head of the connecting rod 46 to move, thereby driving the connecting frame 47 to move. Since the base 33 is immovable, the connecting rod 46 will rotate, thereby driving the base 33 to rotate through the connecting frame 47.

[0055] The rotation of the base 33 can drive the lamp beads 32 and the condenser 31 to rotate, thereby changing the light irradiation direction.

[0056] When the light irradiation direction changes, the intersection point of the light rays changes, and the distance from the intersection point to the end face of the camera 21 changes, thereby changing the optimal shooting distance of the camera 21 and ensuring the best lighting effect of the camera 21 at various distances.

[0057] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited by the above embodiments. The above embodiments and the descriptions in the specification are only preferred examples of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.
