[0039] The present utility model provides a module 6 and a courtyard robot equipped with a binocular camera, aiming to solve the problem that the single - eye camera of the existing courtyard robot cannot meet the use requirements in complex environments.

[0040] As Figures 1 to 8 shown, in an embodiment of the present utility model, the module 6 equipped with a binocular camera includes:

[0041] A binocular camera component board 1, including a binocular camera 101;

[0042] A camera mounting bracket 2, provided with a first mounting opening 201 adapted for mounting with the binocular camera component board 1;

[0043] A module mounting housing 3, provided with a second mounting opening 301 adapted for mounting with the camera mounting bracket 2;

[0044] A heat dissipation plate 4, covering the end of the stacked structure jointly formed by the binocular camera component board 1, the camera mounting bracket 2, and the module mounting housing 3.

[0045] Among them, the binocular camera component board 1 can be a board surface structure, on which a binocular camera 101 is provided. The binocular camera 101 consists of two left and right cameras, an image processor, and a computing unit. The two cameras are responsible for collecting images of two different angles in the scene. The image processor converts the two-dimensional image into a depth three-dimensional image, and the computing unit is responsible for data processing and analysis after obtaining the three-dimensional image. In this way, the binocular camera 101 can calculate the distance and angle information between the two cameras, and use the principle of triangulation to obtain the distance between the object in the scene and the binocular camera 101, so as to realize three-dimensional reconstruction and positioning. A first mounting opening 201 adapted for mounting the binocular camera component board 1 is provided on the camera mounting bracket 2. That is, after the binocular camera component board 1 is mounted in the first mounting opening 201, the binocular camera 101 in the binocular camera component board 1 is also just adapted to be mounted in the first mounting opening 201. The module mounting housing 3 can be directly mounted in a movable vehicle body to form a robot with a complete function. A second mounting opening 301 adapted for mounting the camera mounting bracket 2 is provided thereon. That is, after the camera mounting bracket 2 is mounted in the second mounting opening 301, the protruding structure adapted for mounting the binocular camera 101 on the camera mounting bracket 2 is also just adapted to be mounted in the second mounting opening 301. After the binocular camera component board 1 is mounted on the camera mounting bracket 2 and the camera mounting bracket 2 is mounted on the module mounting housing 3, a stacked structure is formed. The design structure of the heat dissipation plate 4 corresponds to that of the binocular camera component board 1 and can be covered on the end of the stacked structure. In this way, when the binocular camera component is in a working state, the corresponding setting of the heat dissipation plate 4 and the binocular camera component board 1 can increase the heat dissipation effect.

[0046] In this embodiment, by using the binocular camera 101, the recognition function of the courtyard robot in outdoor complex scenes can be improved. The binocular camera component board 1 in the module 6 provided with the binocular camera can be hermetically mounted through the first mounting opening 201 of the camera mounting bracket 2 and the second mounting opening 301 of the camera mounting housing 3, improving the waterproof effect.

[0047] Such as Figure 1 As shown, in an embodiment, a camera waterproof block 5 is provided between the camera mounting bracket 2 and the binocular camera component board 1, and the camera waterproof block 5 is sleeved on the end of the binocular camera 101.

[0048] Among them, the material selected for the camera waterproof block 5 can be determined according to functional requirements. The camera waterproof block 5 not only needs to play a waterproof role, but also should not damage the binocular camera 101. For example, a silicone material can be selected, and a through hole is opened in the middle area of the camera waterproof block 5. In this way, after the waterproof block is sleeved on the binocular camera 101, it can not only play a waterproof effect, but also will not affect the normal operation of the binocular camera 101.

[0049] As Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, in one embodiment, the second mounting opening 301 of the module mounting housing 3 includes a first mounting groove 3011 and a second mounting groove 3012. The first mounting groove 3011 is adapted to be mounted with the binocular camera 101, and the second mounting groove 3012 is adapted to be mounted with the camera mounting bracket 2.

[0050] Among them, the second mounting opening 301 provided on the module mounting housing 3 is provided with mounting grooves adapted for the binocular camera 101 and the camera mounting bracket 2. The mounting grooves are separately designed. After the corresponding structures are mounted in the corresponding mounting grooves, the mounting structures on the first mounting groove 3011 and the second mounting groove 3012 do not affect each other. In addition, in order to adapt to the shape of the binocular camera 101, the first mounting groove 3011 can be designed as a circular groove, and in order to adapt to the shape of the camera mounting bracket 2, the second mounting groove 3012 can be designed as an oval groove;

[0051] In this embodiment, the first mounting groove 3011 is adapted to the binocular camera 101 to ensure the quick positioning and precise docking of the camera during the installation process, improving the installation efficiency and quality; the second mounting groove 3012 is specially designed for the camera mounting bracket 2, enabling the bracket to be firmly fixed within the housing, effectively preventing the camera from shaking or loosening during use, ensuring the long-term stable operation of the camera system and the clarity of image acquisition; fitting the binocular camera 101 and the mounting bracket into their respective dedicated mounting grooves realizes the efficient utilization of the installation space, and its design makes the internal structure more compact and orderly, which is beneficial to improving the overall aesthetics and integration.

[0052] As Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, in one embodiment, the module mounting housing 3 further includes a third mounting groove 3013, which is adapted to be mounted with the camera lens 3016, and the camera lens 3016 is disposed opposite to the binocular camera 101.

[0053] Among them, the camera lens 3016 can be made of transparent materials such as acrylic or glass, and is relatively arranged between the camera mounting bracket 2 and the camera mounting bracket 2, that is, it is equivalent to being arranged in front of the binocular camera 101. In this way, it can play a role in protecting the internal optical elements in the binocular camera 101, preventing impurities such as dust and moisture from entering the lens, and at the same time not affecting the recognition function of the binocular camera 101; the setting position of the third mounting groove 3013 is closer to the through hole 3014 than the first mounting groove 3011. The main reason is that the camera lens 3016 needs to be placed in front of the binocular camera 101 to protect the binocular camera 101. The camera lens 3016 is relatively arranged between the binocular camera 101 and the camera mounting housing, and the third mounting groove 3013 can also be designed as a circular groove adapted to the camera lens 3016;

[0054] In this embodiment, on the basis of setting the first mounting groove 3011 and the second mounting groove 3012, the third mounting groove 3013 is further set. The installation of each component does not interfere with each other in the mounting groove, and the installation structure is more clearly divided, which is beneficial to improving the overall aesthetics and integration.

[0055] Such as Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, the module mounting housing 3 further includes a through hole, and the third mounting groove 3013 is closer to the through hole than the first mounting groove 3011.

[0056] Among them, the setting position of the through hole 3014 is close to the mounting groove. The design of the through hole 3014 is to prevent the binocular camera 101 from being blocked by other objects during the recognition process. The third mounting groove 3013 being closer to the through hole 3014 than the first mounting groove 3011 means that the mounting position of the camera lens 3016 is closer to the through hole 3014;

[0057] The design of the through hole 3014 in this embodiment can keep the binocular camera 101 in a working state without being blocked.

[0058] Such as Figure 1 And Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, a first connection position 202 is provided on the side of the camera mounting bracket 2, and a second connection position 3015 is provided on the module mounting housing 3. The first connection position 202 and the second connection position 3015 are fixedly connected to the module mounting housing 3 through a connecting member.

[0059] Among them, the connection hole positions of the first connection position 202 and the connection hole positions of the second connection position 3015 are in a corresponding setting relationship. By passing the connecting member through the connection hole positions of the first connection position 202 and the connection hole positions of the second connection position 3015, the camera mounting bracket 2 with the binocular camera component board 1 can be fixedly connected to the module mounting housing 3.

[0060] As Figure 2 shown, in one embodiment, a groove plate 203 is provided on the camera mounting bracket 2, and a groove for accommodating the wires of the binocular camera assembly board 1 is formed on the groove plate 203.

[0061] Among them, the groove plate 203 and the camera mounting bracket 2 can be integrally designed, and a square groove is provided in the middle of the plate surface for accommodating the wires of the binocular camera assembly board 1. The wires of the binocular camera assembly board 1 can be electrically connected to the controller and the battery in the vehicle body.

[0062] In one embodiment, a third connection position 401 is provided on the side of the heat dissipation plate 4, and the third connection position 401 is correspondingly arranged with the first connection position 202. After the connecting piece passes through the third connection position 401 and the first connection position 202, the heat dissipation plate 4 and the camera mounting bracket 2 are stacked on the module mounting housing 3.

[0063] Among them, the connection hole positions of the third connection position 401 and the connection hole positions of the first connection position 202 can be in a corresponding setting relationship. By passing the connecting piece through the connection hole positions on the third connection position 401 and the connection hole positions of the first connection position 202, the heat dissipation plate 4 and the heat dissipation plate 4 can be fixedly connected to the module mounting housing 3.

[0064] As Figure 1 shown, in one embodiment, a heat dissipation groove 402 is provided on the surface of the heat dissipation plate 4 facing away from the camera mounting bracket 2.

[0065] Among them, a plurality of heat dissipation grooves 402 are provided on the surface of the heat dissipation plate 4 facing away from the camera mounting bracket 2;

[0066] In this embodiment, the design of the heat dissipation groove 402 increases the extra surface area on the back surface of the heat dissipation plate 4. The surface area can be directly in contact with the air, so as to more effectively dissipate the heat to the surrounding environment, and can significantly improve the heat dissipation efficiency; the heat dissipation groove 402 can also guide the air flow, so that the air can form a more complex flow path when flowing through the heat dissipation plate 4, increasing the contact time and contact area between the air and the heat dissipation plate 4, thereby further improving the heat dissipation effect.

[0067] As Figures 3 to 8 shown, in one embodiment of the present utility model, a courtyard robot (not shown in the figure) includes:

[0068] including the module 6 with a binocular camera described in any one of the above;

[0069] a vehicle body (not shown in the figure), fixedly connected to the module 6 with a binocular camera, and provided with a traveling component (not shown in the figure), and the traveling component (not shown in the figure) is used for autonomous movement.

[0070] Among them, the module 6 equipped with a binocular camera can be understood as the vehicle head or a part of the vehicle head (such as Figures 3 to 6 , the host module used in the monitoring scenario, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the leaf-blowing module used in the leaf-blowing scenario, and can also be used as the mowing module in the mowing scenario), and the vehicle head can be connected to the vehicle body (not shown in the figure); walking components (not shown in the figure) are provided at the bottom of the vehicle body (not shown in the figure), and the entire yard robot (not shown in the figure) can be controlled to move autonomously according to specific operation requirements or operation instructions.

[0071] The module 6 equipped with a binocular camera and the yard robot provided by the embodiments of the present application belong to the technical field of robot cameras. Among them, the module 6 equipped with a binocular camera includes: a camera mounting bracket 2, which is provided with a first mounting opening 201 adapted to be mounted with the binocular camera component board 1; a module mounting housing 3, which is provided with a second mounting opening 301 adapted to be mounted with the camera mounting bracket 2; a heat dissipation plate 4, which covers the end of the stacked structure jointly formed by the binocular camera component board 1, the camera mounting bracket 2, and the module mounting housing 3; thus, by using the binocular camera 101, the recognition function of the yard robot in outdoor complex scenarios can be improved, and the binocular camera component board 1 in the module 6 equipped with a binocular camera can be hermetically mounted through the first mounting opening 201 of the camera mounting bracket 2 and the second mounting opening 301 of the camera mounting housing, improving the waterproof effect. In addition, the module 6 equipped with a binocular camera on the yard robot is stacked on the overall structure of the vehicle body, reducing the installation gaps between components and further improving the hermetic installation performance.

[0072] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and do not limit the patent scope of the present invention.
