Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cameras, in particular to a multi-field-of-view camera. Background Art
[0002] The camera is used to be installed on a freight truck. Generally, a wide-angle camera is used at present. However, when using a wide-angle camera, the angle is not adjustable, and the pixels in the visual edge range are not clear. If the selection of the lens angle of view conforms to the natural angle of view of the human eye (50 - 70 degrees), then the imaging on the display conforms to the judgment of the human sense of distance. If the lens angle of view is too large or too small, it will cause the imaging on the display to deviate from the sense of distance formed by humans naturally, which is very inhumane.

[0022] In a possible implementation of a multi-view camera, please refer to the structural schematic diagram Figures 1-5 As shown, the multi-view camera includes: a mounting shell 1 and a shooting component 2. The shooting component 2 is installed inside the mounting shell 1 and rotates relative to the mounting shell 1. The mounting shell 1 includes two oppositely arranged casings 3. The bottom ends of the two casings 3 are both arc-shaped. A guiding groove 301 is opened at the bottom end of one side where the two casings 3 are close to each other. The shooting component 2 includes a relatively arranged first mounting box 4 and a second mounting box 7. An installation cavity is formed between the first mounting box 4 and the second mounting box 7. A camera 5 and a stepping motor 8 are arranged inside the installation cavity. The shooting end of the camera 5 exposes the first mounting box 4 and the second mounting box 7 and is located between the two guiding grooves 301. The output end of the stepping motor 8 penetrates the first mounting box 4 and extends to the outside and is fixedly connected to the inner wall of one of the casings 3. Specifically, the two sides of the mounting shell 1 are respectively a first mounting surface and a second mounting surface. The thickness of the mounting shell 1 is adapted to the clearance distance between the cargo hold and the carriage. The clearance distance between the cargo hold and the carriage is 3-6 cm, and the thickness of the mounting shell 1 is between 3-6 cm. It can be selectively installed on the left and right outer sides of the truck carriage through the two sides of the mounting shell 1 as needed. At the same time, the stepping motor 8 drives the camera 5 to rotate, and the rotation angle can be 0-180 degrees, so that three monitoring positions can be formed. When in the 0-degree position, the camera 5 can monitor the road conditions in front of the truck. When the camera 5 rotates 90 degrees, it can monitor whether the wheels are pressing on the line. And when the camera 5 rotates 180 degrees, it can be used to monitor the distance between the carriage and the cargo hold when the truck reverses into the cargo hold.
[0023] Wherein, two grooves 302 are respectively formed at the upper ends of the two mutually remote sides of the two casings 3. The two grooves 302 are symmetrically distributed. At the positions corresponding to the grooves 302 on the inner walls of the upper ends of the two casings 3, first threaded seats 306 are fixedly connected. The two opposite first threaded seats 306 are connected by bolts. By installing the photographing assembly 2 between the two casings 3 and tightly connecting the two casings 3 by bolts, the two casings 3 can not only install and protect the photographing assembly 2, but also the mutually remote side surfaces of the two casings 3 can be used as the first mounting surface and the second mounting surface for mounting the whole on the two side surfaces of the carriage.
[0024] Wherein, a bearing 304 is fixedly connected to the middle of the inner wall of the other casing 3. U-shaped pieces 305 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the lower ends of the two casings 3. The two guiding grooves 301 together enclose an avoidance hole. Wire covers 303 are fixedly connected to the tops of the two mutually adjacent sides of the two casings 3, and the two wire covers 303 together enclose a cylinder. By enclosing an avoidance hole with the guiding grooves 301 on the two casings 3, the avoidance hole facilitates the exposure of the photographing end of the camera 5. At the same time, the length of the avoidance hole determines the monitoring range of the camera 5, and the length of the avoidance hole can be set according to needs.
[0025] Wherein, mounting grooves 401 are respectively formed in the middle of the inner walls of the first mounting box 4 and the second mounting box 7.

The two opposite second threaded seats 402 are connected by bolts. Arc-shaped protection plates 404 adapted to the camera 5 are fixedly connected to the left ends of the sides of the first mounting box 4 and the second mounting box 7 close to each other. The left ends of the arc-shaped protection plates 404 are located inside the avoidance hole. The arc-shaped protection plates 404 are located between the two second threaded seats 402 on the same side. Arc-shaped plates 403 adapted to the camera 5 are fixedly connected between the two second threaded seats 402 on the left side of the inner wall of the first mounting box 4 and between the two second threaded seats 402 on the left side of the inner wall of the second mounting box 7. Specifically, the two opposite arc-shaped protection plates 404 can enclose a cylinder adapted to the photographing end of the camera 5. The two opposite second threaded seats 402 are connected by bolts, which can tightly connect the first mounting box 4 and the second mounting box 7 together, thereby ensuring the stability of the camera 5 and the stepping motor 8.
[0026] In addition, a square frame 405 adapted to the stepping motor 8 is fixedly connected between two second threaded seats 402 on the inner wall of the first mounting box 4 and on its right side.

A second through hole 702 is provided in the middle of the inner wall of the second mounting box 7 and within the limiting frame 701. The mutually remote sides of the first mounting box 4 and the second mounting box 7 are respectively slidably connected to the corresponding U-shaped pieces 305; by the first mounting box 4 and the second mounting box 7 being respectively slidably connected to the corresponding U-shaped pieces 305, not only can the stability of the camera 5 shooting be increased, but also the friction between the first mounting box 4 and the second mounting box 7 and the corresponding housing 3 can be reduced.
[0027] In addition, the imaging end of the camera 5 is installed between two arc-shaped protection plates 404, the other end of the camera 5 is installed between two arc-shaped plates 403, the other end of the camera 5 is fixedly connected with a mounting plate 501, and one end of the mounting plate 501 away from the camera 5 is fixedly connected with a circuit board 6, and the circuit board 6 is clamped between the interiors of two mounting grooves 401; through the cooperation of the arc-shaped protection plates 404 and the arc-shaped plates 403, the camera 5 can be firmly positioned between the first mounting box 4 and the second mounting box 7; under the action of the two opposite mounting grooves 401, the circuit board 6 can be limited.
[0028] In addition, the output end of the stepping motor 8 is slidably connected to the inside of the square frame 405 and its output shaft penetrates through the first through hole 406. The other end of the stepping motor 8 is fixedly connected with a cylindrical connecting column 801. The other end of the stepping motor 8 is slidably fitted within the limiting frame 701. One end of the connecting column 801 away from the stepping motor 8 penetrates through the second through hole 702 and extends to the outside and is fixedly connected to the inner ring of the bearing 304; with the cooperation of the square frame 405 and the limiting frame 701, the stepping motor 8 can be stably installed between the first mounting box 4 and the second mounting box 7. By fixing the output shaft of the stepping motor 8 to one of the housings 3, and connecting the other end of the stepping motor 8 to the bearing 304 through the connecting column 801, the camera 5 can be driven to rotate relative to the housing 3 when the stepping motor 8 rotates.
