Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the technical field of inspection cameras, and in particular to a fixing bracket for an inspection camera with adjustable angle. Background Art
[0002] Inspection refers to the regular or irregular inspection, observation and monitoring of equipment, facilities, systems or environments at certain time intervals, routes and standards to ensure their normal operation, safety and reliability. The objects of inspection are very extensive, including production equipment in factories, substations and transmission lines in the power system, fire protection facilities in buildings, the storage of goods in warehouses, and even public facilities in cities such as street lights and drainage pipes.
[0003] In the fields of monitoring and inspection, inspection cameras, as key devices for obtaining information, directly affect the effectiveness of monitoring and inspection in terms of their performance and functions. Camera fixing brackets usually use pan-tilt heads to adjust the angle, but the angle adjustment range is limited. In some complex scenarios, these fixing brackets cannot meet the requirements for comprehensive and flexible monitoring of every corner and detail. The limited angle adjustment range may lead to the emergence of monitoring blind spots, making it impossible to detect potential problems or abnormal situations in a timely manner. Therefore, there is a need to provide a fixing bracket for an inspection camera with adjustable angle, which uses a pan-tilt head in combination with an angle adjustment bracket to enhance the shooting angle of the inspection camera, reduce the emergence of blind spots, and detect potential problems or abnormal situations in a timely manner.

[0030] Embodiment 1:
[0031] Combine Figures 1-4, an embodiment of the present application discloses an adjustable-angle inspection camera fixing bracket, which includes a support 4 located on the left side of the cruise robot 1. The right side of the support 4 is fixedly connected to the lifting seat built in the cruise robot 1. A camera 2 is arranged on the left side of the cruise robot 1, and a pan-tilt 3 is arranged on the right side of the camera 2. The right side of the camera 2 is fixedly connected to the drive shaft of the pan-tilt 3. An adjustment assembly 5 is arranged between the pan-tilt 3 and the support 4. The adjustment assembly 5 includes diagonal support plates 51 rotatably connected to the top and bottom of the right side of the pan-tilt 3. Rectangular sliding grooves 52 adapted to the diagonal support plates 51 are provided at the top and bottom of the left side of the support 4. A slidable sliding seat 53 is arranged on the right side of the support 4. A stepping motor 54 is fixedly installed on the right side of the support 4. The output shaft of the stepping motor 54 is fixedly connected to a threaded rod 55. The sliding seat 53 is threadedly connected to the surface of the threaded rod 55. The right end of the diagonal support plate 51 is rotatably connected to the sliding seat 53. Guide rails 8 are fixedly connected to the top and bottom of the right side of the support 4. Guide sliding grooves 9 adapted to the guide rails 8 are provided at the top and bottom of the left side of the sliding seat 53. A protective housing 10 is fixedly connected to the right side of the support 4. The protective housing 10 covers the surfaces of the sliding seat 53 and the stepping motor 54. A rubber pad 11 is glued to the front end of the left side of the support 4. A card slot 12 adapted to the rubber pad 11 is provided at the front end of the right side of the pan-tilt 3. Through the cooperation of the rubber pad 11 and the card slot 12, the pan-tilt 3 and the support 4 are elastically contacted, thereby avoiding abnormal noises caused by the collision of the pan-tilt 3 and the support 4 after they are attached to each other.
[0032] Embodiment Two:
[0033] Combined with Figure 2 and Figure 3 , a connecting rod 6 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the right side of the pan-tilt 3. The connecting rod 6 is rotatably connected to the support 4. Torsion springs 7 are sleeved on the top and bottom of the surface of the connecting rod 6. One end of the torsion spring 7 is welded to the pan-tilt 3, and the other end of the torsion spring 7 is welded to the connecting rod 6. Through the cooperation of the connecting rod 6 and the torsion spring 7, it plays a role in supporting and rotating the pan-tilt 3, and can assist the pan-tilt 3 and the camera 2 to actively reset, improving the stability during the rotation process and preventing shaking during the rotation process.
[0034] Working principle: When the utility model is in use, the user drives the camera 2 and the pan-tilt head 3 to reach the designated position for capturing and recording through the combined use of the cruise robot 1 and the support 4. When oblique shooting is required, the stepping motor 54 is turned on to drive the threaded rod 55 to rotate. During the rotation of the threaded rod 55, the sliding seat 53 is pushed through the threads on its surface, causing the sliding seat 53 to slide backward on the right side of the support 4. During the sliding process of the sliding seat 53, the right end of the diagonal support plate 51 is pulled, causing the diagonal support plate 51 to rotate and pushing the pan-tilt head 3 through its left end. As a result, the pan-tilt head 3 drives the camera 2 to rotate. At this time, the shooting angle of the camera 2 can be further adjusted, thereby expanding the shooting range and enabling oblique shooting inside the shooting position.
[0035] In summary: The inspection camera fixing bracket with adjustable angle can drive the camera 2 to perform multi-angle inspection capture and recording through the combined use of the cruise robot 1 and the pan-tilt head 3. At the same time, through the combined use of the support 4 and the adjustment component 5, the shooting angle of the camera 2 can be further expanded, enabling oblique angle shooting at the inspection position, thus achieving the purpose of multi-angle adjustment and a wide shooting angle.
[0036] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, various changes and modifications can be made to the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included within the protection scope of the present application.
