[0035] The present utility model provides a module 9 provided with a camera and a courtyard robot, aiming to solve the problem of insufficient waterproof performance of the camera of the existing courtyard robot.

[0036] As Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, in an embodiment of the present utility model, the module 9 provided with a camera includes:

[0037] A camera component board 1;

[0038] A camera mounting bracket 2, including a first enclosing surface 201, and the first enclosing surface 201 encloses a first installation space 202 of the camera component board 1;

[0039] The camera mounting base 3 includes a second enclosing surface 301, and the second enclosing surface 301 encloses a second installation space 302 of the camera mounting bracket 2;

[0040] The module mounting housing 4 includes a first housing 401 and a second housing 402. A third installation space 403 for the camera mounting base 3 is provided on the second housing 402. After the camera mounting base 3 is installed in the third installation space 403, the second housing 402 covers the camera mounting base 3.

[0041] Among them, the camera component board 1 can be a board surface structure, and a camera 101 can be provided on its board surface. The camera 101 refers to a camera device with only one lens, and its structure mainly includes key components such as a lens, an image sensor, and an image processing chip. The working principle of the camera 101 mainly includes two parts: optical imaging and image processing. In addition, during the optical imaging process, the lens focuses the light of the target object onto the image sensor to form a set of pixel points. During the image processing process, the image sensor converts the light into an electrical signal and processes it through the image processing chip to finally obtain a clear image; the camera mounting bracket 2 can be a structure surrounded by a first enclosing surface 201. The enclosed first installation space 202 can be used to install the camera component board 1, and the first installation space 202 is a hollow space opened inside the camera mounting bracket 2; the camera mounting base 3 can be a structure surrounded by a second enclosing surface 301. The enclosed second installation space 302 can be used to install the camera mounting bracket 2, and the second installation space 302 is a hollow space opened inside the camera mounting base 3; the module mounting housing 4 includes a first housing 401 and a second housing 402, and the edges of the two housings are in a fitting state. After the two housings are adaptively installed, a third installation space 403 for installing the camera mounting base 3 can be formed inside the module mounting housing 4;

[0042] In this embodiment, the camera component board 1 in the module 9 provided with a camera can be hermetically installed through the first installation space 202 of the camera mounting bracket 2 and the second installation space of the camera mounting base, improving the waterproof effect. At the same time, through the close fitting of the first housing 401 of the module mounting housing 4 and the second mounting housing, the camera component board 1 in the entire module 9 provided with a camera can be installed in the third installation space formed by the first housing 401 and the second installation housing, further improving the waterproof effect.

[0043] As Figure 1 shown, in an embodiment, a camera 101 is provided on the camera component board 1, and a first installation position is provided on the camera mounting bracket 2, and the camera is adaptively installed in the first installation position.

[0044] Among them, the camera 101 is disposed on the board surface near the installation position of the camera mounting bracket 2, and a first mounting position adapted to the camera 101 may be provided inside the camera mounting bracket 2;

[0045] In this embodiment, the camera 101 can be stably mounted here through the first mounting position, increasing the stability of the camera 101 mounted on the camera mounting bracket 2, and at the same time improving the installation sealing performance, thereby enhancing the waterproof effect.

[0046] As Figure 1 shown, in one embodiment, a camera waterproof block 5 is provided at a position of the mounting opening close to the camera 101, and the camera waterproof block 5 is sleeved on the end of the camera 101.

[0047] Among them, the material selected for the waterproof block can be determined according to functional requirements. The waterproof block not only plays a waterproof role, but also does not damage the 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 camera waterproof block 5 is sleeved on the camera 101, it can not only achieve a waterproof effect, but also does not affect the normal operation of the camera 101.

[0048] As Figure 1 shown, in one embodiment, a camera lens 6 is provided between the camera mounting bracket 2 and the camera mounting base 3, the camera mounting base 3 is provided with a second mounting position, and the camera lens 6 is adaptively mounted in the second mounting position.

[0049] Among them, the camera lens 6 can be made of a transparent material such as acrylic or glass, and is oppositely arranged between the camera mounting bracket 2 and the camera mounting bracket 2, that is, is equivalent to being arranged in front of the camera 101. In this way, it can play a role in protecting the internal optical elements in the 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 camera 101; the second mounting position is close to the through hole opened in the camera mounting base 3, and the camera lens 6 needs to be placed in front of the camera 101 to protect the camera 101, and the camera lens 6 is oppositely arranged between the camera 101 and the camera mounting housing;

[0050] The second mounting position provided by the camera mounting base 3 in this embodiment can be used to mount the camera lens 6. By fixedly mounting the camera lens 6 in front of the camera 101, the overall sealing performance is improved, thereby enhancing the waterproof effect.

[0051] As Figure 1 shown, in one embodiment, the module 9 provided with the camera further includes a heating film 7, and the heating film 7 covers the surface of the camera mounting bracket 2 close to the camera mounting base 3 and is oppositely arranged with the camera lens 6.

[0052] Among them, an electric current is used to increase the temperature of the heating film 7 to melt the snow accumulated on the camera module. To avoid easy damage to the heating film 7, the installation position of the heating film 7 is preferably at the rear position of the camera lens 6 (not the position close to the outside).

[0053] In this embodiment, the heating film 7 is used to increase the temperature of the relatively arranged camera lens 6 to remove the snow accumulated on the camera lens 6 and improve the recognition effect of the camera 101.

[0054] As Figure 1 shown, in one embodiment, the module 9 provided with the camera further includes a heat dissipation plate 8, and the heat dissipation plate 8 covers the end of the stacked structure jointly formed by the camera module board 1, the camera mounting bracket 2, and the camera mounting base 3.

[0055] Among them, the heat dissipation plate 8 can be a structure with a plate surface. One plate surface close to the camera module board 1, the camera mounting bracket 2, and the camera mounting base 3 is used to cover the stacked structure formed by the three, and a heat dissipation groove is provided on the other plate surface facing away.

[0056] In this embodiment, the design structure of the heat dissipation plate 8 is correspondingly arranged with the camera module board 1 and can cover the end of the stacked structure. In this way, when the camera module board 1 is in a working state, the corresponding arrangement of the heat dissipation plate 8 and the camera module board 1 can increase the heat dissipation effect. In addition, the design of the heat dissipation groove increases the extra surface area on the back surface of the heat dissipation plate 8, and the surface area can be directly in contact with the air, so as to more effectively dissipate the heat to the surrounding environment and significantly improve the heat dissipation efficiency; the heat dissipation groove can also guide the air flow, so that the air can form a more complex flow path when flowing through the heat dissipation plate 8, increasing the contact time and contact area between the air and the heat dissipation plate 8, thereby further improving the heat dissipation effect.

[0057] As Figure 1 shown, in one embodiment, components 102 are provided at the position of the camera module board 1 away from the camera 101, and an avoidance opening 801 is provided on the heat dissipation plate 8, and the avoidance opening 801 is used to avoid the components 102.

[0058] Among them, components 102 electrically connected to the camera 101 are provided on the board surface where the back surface of the camera module board 1 is located, and an avoidance opening 801 for avoiding the components 102 is provided on the board surface of the heat dissipation plate 8.

[0059] In this embodiment, by arranging the component 102 on the back of the camera component board 1, the space of the circuit board can be effectively utilized, avoiding direct conflict between the component 102 and the camera lens part, making the structure of the entire component board more compact, which is beneficial to the miniaturization and lightweight design of the product; through the setting of the avoidance opening 801, it is ensured that the board surface of the heat dissipation plate 8 can be closely attached to the camera component board 1 to ensure the heat dissipation effect of the camera component board 1 based on the heat dissipation plate 8.

[0060] As Figure 1 shown, in one embodiment, the camera component board 1 is provided with a first connection position 103, the camera mounting seat 3 is provided with a second connection position 303, the first connection position 103 and the second connection position 303 are correspondingly arranged, the camera mounting bracket 2 is provided with an avoidance position 203, and after the connecting piece passes through the first connection position 103, the avoidance position 203 and the second connection position 303, the camera component board 1 is fixedly connected to the camera mounting seat 3.

[0061] Among them, the connection hole positions of the first connection position 103 and the connection hole positions of the second connection position 303 are in a corresponding arrangement relationship. After the connecting piece passes through the connection hole positions on the first connection position 103 and the connection hole positions of the second connection position 303, the camera mounting bracket 2 with the camera component board 1 can be fixedly connected to the module mounting housing 4. In addition, the setting of the avoidance position 203 can avoid the connecting piece, and the connecting piece is not interfered with after being connected to the first connection position 103 and the second connection position 303.

[0062] As Figure 1 shown, in one embodiment, the module mounting housing 4 is provided with a third connection position 404, the camera mounting seat 3 is provided with a fourth connection position 304, the third connection position and the fourth connection position 304 are correspondingly arranged, and after the connecting piece passes through the third connection position 404 and the fourth connection position 304, the heat dissipation plate 8 is fixedly connected to the camera mounting seat 3.

[0063] Among them, the connection hole positions of the third connection position 404 and the connection hole positions of the fourth connection position 304 are in a corresponding arrangement relationship. After the connecting piece passes through the connection hole positions on the third connection position 404 and the connection hole positions of the fourth connection position 304, the heat dissipation plate 8 can be fixedly connected to the module mounting housing 4. After the heat dissipation plate 8 is fixedly connected to the module mounting housing 4, the heat dissipation plate 8 can strengthen the firmness of the camera mounting bracket 2 mounted on the module mounting housing 4.
