Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of binocular imaging, and particularly relates to a camera bracket for binocular imaging. Background Technique

[0002] Binocular imaging technology is a technology that obtains three-dimensional images by simulating the principle of human binocular parallax. It uses two cameras at a certain distance apart to simultaneously capture the same object or scene from different angles. By analyzing the parallax between the two images (i.e., the position difference of pixel points in the left and right images), the depth information of each pixel point is calculated, thereby generating a three-dimensional image of the object. The core of binocular imaging technology is parallax calculation. The two cameras respectively capture the same scene to obtain two images with parallel perspectives. By comparing the horizontal displacement of corresponding pixel points in the left and right images, a parallax map can be obtained. Through the parallax map, the depth of each pixel point is calculated using the principle of triangulation. The depth information is combined with the two-dimensional information of the image to finally generate a high-precision three-dimensional image.

[0003] However, the existing camera installation schemes for binocular imaging often face challenges: one is how to adjust the shooting angle of the camera when the shooting scene is relatively complex so that the camera can shoot stably after adjusting the angle; the other is the convenience of equipment maintenance and upgrade. Users often need to quickly disassemble and assemble the camera for cleaning, calibration or replacement, while the traditional bracket design often ignores this requirement, making the disassembly and assembly process cumbersome and easy to damage the equipment. Content of the Utility Model

[0004] Based on this, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a camera bracket for binocular imaging that can facilitate the adjustment of the shooting angle and can conveniently disassemble the camera.

[0005] The utility model provides the following technical solutions: A camera bracket for binocular imaging, including a vertical rod, a plurality of support feet arranged around the outer wall of the vertical rod, a first sliding rod slidably connected to the vertical rod, a rotating shaft rotatably connected to the first sliding rod, a support platform for placing the camera arranged on the rotating shaft, and a baffle arranged on the support platform. The camera bracket further includes a clamping mechanism for clamping the first sliding rod, a rotating mechanism for driving the rotating shaft to rotate, and a limiting mechanism for clamping the camera;

[0006] The limiting mechanism includes two clamping plates slidably connected to the baffle, contact members arranged on the clamping plates, a first spring connected between the clamping plates and the baffle, and an extrusion assembly for extruding the contact members. The extrusion assembly includes a sliding sleeve, an extrusion member slidably connected to the sliding sleeve. Pull the extrusion member to move, and the extrusion member will extrude the contact members.

[0007] Further, a pull rod is disposed through the lower part of the extrusion member, and the extrusion member is driven to move by pulling the pull rod.

[0008] Further, a stopper is disposed on a side of the clamping plate away from the baffle plate, the stopper is arranged towards the inner side of the support table, and the stopper is perpendicularly arranged with the clamping plate.

[0009] Further, the positioning mechanism includes a second sliding rod slidably connected to the vertical rod, a pulling plate disposed on the second sliding rod, a second spring disposed between the pulling plate and the vertical rod, a plurality of through holes axially arranged along the first sliding rod, and the second sliding rod is snapped into the through holes to limit the first sliding rod.

[0010] Further, the rotating mechanism includes a bracket disposed on the upper part of the first sliding rod, a rotating rod rotatably connected to the bracket, a worm disposed on the rotating rod, and a turbine disposed on the rotating shaft, and the worm meshes with the turbine.

[0011] Further, the sliding sleeve is fixedly connected to the support table or fixedly connected to the baffle plate.

[0012] Further, the extrusion member is in a funnel shape with a larger upper part and a smaller lower part.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: By pushing the extrusion member to move upward, the extrusion member no longer extrudes the contact member, and the first spring resets to drive the clamping plate to move towards the inside of the support table, and the clamping plate will clamp the camera, thereby preventing the camera from falling off the support table. When it is necessary to remove the camera from the support table, the operator only needs to pull the extrusion member to move downward, so that the extrusion member extrudes the contact member, and the clamping plate moves towards the outside of the support table, so that it no longer clamps the camera, and thus the camera can be removed from the support table for cleaning, calibration or replacement, so as to achieve the effect of facilitating the disassembly of the camera. In addition, by moving the second sliding rod out of the through hole, the second spring is stretched, and then the operator can push the first sliding rod to move to adjust the shooting height of the camera. In addition, by rotating the rotating rod, the rotating rod rotates to drive the worm to rotate, and the worm rotates to drive the turbine to rotate, thereby adjusting the shooting angle of the camera.

Detailed implementation manners

[0021] For the convenience of understanding the present utility model, the present utility model will be described more comprehensively below with reference to the relevant drawings. Several embodiments of the present utility model are given in the drawings. However, the present utility model can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, the purpose of providing these embodiments is to make the disclosure of the present utility model more thorough and comprehensive.

[0022] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixedly provided on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or there may also be an intermediate element. When an element is considered to be "connected" to another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intermediate element at the same time. The terms "vertical", "horizontal", "left", "right" and similar expressions used herein are only for the purpose of illustration.

[0023] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the technical field to which the present utility model belongs. The terms used in the description of the present utility model herein are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present utility model. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.

[0024] A camera bracket for binocular imaging, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, it includes a vertical rod 1, several support feet 2 arranged around the outer wall of the vertical rod 1, a first sliding rod 3 slidably connected to the vertical rod 1, a rotating shaft 4 rotatably connected to the first sliding rod 3, a support platform 5 provided on the rotating shaft 4 for placing a camera 10, and a baffle 6 provided on the support platform 5. The camera 10 bracket 91 further includes a positioning mechanism 8 for positioning the first sliding rod 3, a rotating mechanism 9 for driving the rotating shaft 4 to rotate, and a limiting mechanism 7 for clamping the camera 10.

[0025] It can be understood that in this embodiment, three support feet 2 are provided. In other embodiments, the number of support feet 2 can be appropriately increased according to the practical scenario. The support feet 2 are inclined with respect to the vertical column. The support feet 2 play a supporting role. First, the operator can operate the limiting mechanism 7, then place the camera 10 on the upper surface of the support platform 5, and make one side of the camera 10 contact the baffle 6. Then, operate the limiting mechanism 7 to clamp and limit the camera 10 to prevent the camera 10 from falling off the support platform 5. When shooting and the shooting height of the camera 10 needs to be adjusted, the operator can operate the positioning mechanism 8. The positioning mechanism 8 no longer positions the first sliding rod 3. The operator can push the first sliding rod 3 up or down as needed. Pushing the first sliding rod 3 up increases the shooting height of the camera 10, and pushing the first sliding rod 3 down decreases the shooting height of the camera 10. When the first sliding rod 3 moves, it will drive the rotating shaft 4 and the rotating mechanism 9 to move. The movement of the rotating shaft 4 drives the support platform 5 to move, and the movement of the support platform 5 drives the camera 10 to move, thereby adjusting the shooting height of the camera 10. When the shooting angle of the camera 10 needs to be adjusted, the operator can operate the rotating mechanism 9. The rotating mechanism 9 drives the rotating shaft 4 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating shaft 4 drives the support platform 5 to rotate, and the support platform 5 drives the camera 10 to rotate, thereby adjusting the shooting angle of the camera 10.

[0026] As Figure 3 As shown, the limiting mechanism 7 includes two clamping plates 71 slidably connected to the baffle 6, a contact member 73 provided on the clamping plate 71, a first spring 72 connected between the clamping plate 71 and the baffle 6, and an extrusion assembly for extruding the contact member 73. The extrusion assembly includes a sliding sleeve 74, an extrusion member 75 slidably connected to the sliding sleeve 74. Pull the extrusion member 75 to move, and the extrusion member 75 will extrude the contact member 73. The sliding sleeve 74 is fixedly connected to the support platform 5 or fixedly connected to the baffle 6. The extrusion member 75 is in the shape of a funnel with a larger upper part and a smaller lower part.

[0027] It can be understood that when the operator needs to place the camera 10 on the support table 5, the operator can push the extrusion member 75 to move downward along the sliding sleeve 74. The inclined surface on the upper part of the extrusion member 75 will extrude the contact member 73, and the contact member 73 will move outward of the support table 5. The contact member 73 drives the clamping plate 71 to move, and the first spring 72 is compressed. Then the operator places the camera 10 between the two clamping plates 71. Next, the operator can push the extrusion member 75 to move upward, so that the extrusion member 75 no longer extrudes the contact member 73. The first spring 72 will reset, and the reset of the first spring 72 will drive the clamping plate 71 to move inward of the support table 5, and the clamping plate 71 will clamp the camera 10, thereby preventing the camera 10 from falling off the support table 5. When the camera 10 needs to be removed from the support table 5, the operator only needs to pull the extrusion member 75 to move downward, so that the extrusion member 75 extrudes the contact member 73, and the clamping plate 71 moves outward of the support table 5, so that it no longer clamps the camera 10. Thus, the camera 10 can be removed from the support table 5 for cleaning, calibration or replacement.

[0028] A pull rod 76 is arranged through the lower part of the extrusion member 75, and the extrusion member 75 is driven to move by pulling the pull rod 76.

[0029] Among them, the pull rod 76 is cylindrical. By pulling the pull rod 76, the extrusion member 75 is driven to move downward, so that it is convenient for the operator to pull the extrusion member 75 to move.

[0030] As Figure 4 shown, a stopper 77 is arranged on the side of the clamping plate 71 away from the baffle 6. The stopper 77 is arranged closer to the inside of the support table 5, and the stopper 77 is perpendicularly arranged with the clamping plate 71.

[0031] It can be understood that when the clamping plate 71 clamps the camera 10, the stopper 77 will be located in front of the camera 10. The stopper 77 can prevent the camera 10 from falling from the front side of the support table 5, so that the camera 10 is stably placed on the support table 5.

[0032] As Figure 5 shown, the positioning mechanism 8 includes a second sliding rod 81 slidably connected to the vertical rod 1, a pulling plate 82 arranged on the second sliding rod 81, a second spring 83 arranged between the pulling plate 82 and the vertical rod 1, and a plurality of through holes 84 arranged along the axial direction of the first sliding rod 3. The second sliding rod 81 is inserted into the through holes 84 to limit the first sliding rod 3.

[0033] It can be understood that when it is necessary to adjust the shooting height of the camera 10, the operator can pull the second sliding rod 81 through the pull plate 82. The second sliding rod 81 moves out of the through hole 84, and the second spring 83 is stretched. Then the operator can push the first sliding rod 3 to move, so as to adjust the shooting height of the camera 10. After the shooting height is adjusted, the operator can release the pull plate 82, and the second spring 83 resets, so that the second sliding rod 81 is reinserted into the through hole 84. Thus, when the second sliding rod 81 is inserted into the through hole 84, the first sliding rod 3 will be locked in position.

[0034] As Figure 6 shown, the rotation mechanism 9 includes a bracket 91 provided on the upper part of the first sliding rod 3, a rotating rod 93 rotatably connected to the bracket 91, a worm 92 provided on the rotating rod 93, and a turbine 94 provided on the rotating shaft 4. The worm 92 meshes with the turbine 94.

[0035] It can be understood that when it is necessary to adjust the shooting angle of the camera 10, the operator can rotate the rotating rod 93. The rotation of the rotating rod 93 drives the worm 92 to rotate. The rotation of the worm 92 drives the turbine 94 to rotate. The rotation of the turbine 94 drives the rotating shaft 4 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating shaft 4 drives the support platform 5 to rotate. The rotation of the support platform 5 drives the camera 10, thereby adjusting the shooting angle of the camera 10. Through the cooperation of the turbine 94 and the worm 92, a self-locking effect can be achieved. After the shooting angle is adjusted, the rotating shaft 4 will not rotate randomly.

[0036] To sum up, by pushing the pressing member 75 upward, the pressing member 75 no longer presses the contact member 73. The reset of the first spring 72 will drive the clamping plate 71 to move into the support platform 5. The clamping plate 71 will clamp the camera 10, thereby preventing the camera 10 from falling off the support platform 5. When it is necessary to remove the camera 10 from the support platform 5, the operator only needs to pull the pressing member 75 downward, so that the pressing member 75 presses the contact member 73, and the clamping plate 71 moves outward of the support platform 5, so that it no longer clamps the camera 10. Thus, the camera 10 can be removed from the support platform 5 for cleaning, calibration or replacement, so as to achieve the effect of facilitating the disassembly of the camera 10. In addition, by moving the second sliding rod 81 out of the through hole 84, the second spring 83 is stretched. Then the operator can push the first sliding rod 3 to move, so as to adjust the shooting height of the camera 10. In addition, by rotating the rotating rod 93, the rotation of the rotating rod 93 drives the worm 92 to rotate. The rotation of the worm 92 drives the turbine 94 to rotate, thereby adjusting the shooting angle of the camera 10.
