Detailed embodiments

[0031] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0032] Referring to "embodiments" herein means that the specific features, structures or characteristics described in conjunction with the embodiments may be included in at least one embodiment of the present application. The phrase appears in various places in the specification and does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. Those skilled in the art will explicitly and implicitly understand that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.

[0033] Next, the multi-camera device and the multi-camera device provided by the present invention will be described in detail in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 1 which is the first - angle schematic diagram of an embodiment of the multi - camera device of the present application; Figure 2 which is the schematic diagram of different angles of an embodiment of the multi - camera device of the present application; Figure 3 which is the second - angle schematic diagram of an embodiment of the multi - camera device of the present application. The present application provides a multi - camera device. The multi - camera device 10 includes a device housing 11, a first panoramic camera assembly 12, a second panoramic camera assembly 13, and a detail camera assembly 14. The device housing 11 provides installation positions for the first panoramic camera assembly 12, the second panoramic camera assembly 13, and the detail camera assembly 14. Among them, the working principles of the first panoramic camera assembly 12, the second panoramic camera assembly 13, and the detail camera assembly 14 are conventional techniques for those skilled in the art and will not be limited herein.

[0035] The device housing 11 includes a first connection end 111 and a second connection end 112 that are oppositely arranged along the first direction X. The first direction X can be but is not limited to the length - extending direction of the device housing 11, such as the front - to - back direction. The first connection end 111 is the front, and the second connection end 112 is the back. The first panoramic camera assembly 12 can rotate up and down at the first connection end 111. At the same time, the first panoramic camera assembly 12 can rotate horizontally at the first connection end 111. That is, the first panoramic camera assembly 12 can rotate up and down and horizontally relative to the first connection end 111, etc.

[0036] The second panoramic camera assembly 13 can rotate up and down at the second connection end 112. At the same time, the second panoramic camera assembly 13 can rotate horizontally at the second connection end 112. That is, the second panoramic camera assembly 13 can rotate up and down and horizontally relative to the second connection end 112, etc.

[0037] The detail camera assembly 14 can rotate up and down at the middle position of the bottom of the device housing 11. At the same time, the detail camera assembly 14 can rotate horizontally at the middle of the bottom of the device housing 11. That is, the detail camera assembly 14 can rotate up and down and horizontally relative to the middle of the bottom of the device housing 11, etc.

[0038] The above - mentioned first panoramic camera assembly 12 and second panoramic camera assembly 13 can perform wide - angle panoramic photography. The detail camera assembly 14 can perform focused photography of details and linked photography, etc. The above - mentioned first panoramic camera assembly 12, second panoramic camera assembly 13, and detail camera assembly 14 can all achieve the function of adjusting the rotation angle, etc.

[0039] First, the first panoramic camera assembly 12 can rotate vertically and horizontally at the first connection end 111; the second panoramic camera assembly 13 can rotate vertically and horizontally at the second connection end 112. That is, the viewing angle directions of the first panoramic camera assembly 12 and the second panoramic camera assembly 13 are set at 180 degrees. The first panoramic camera assembly 12 monitors the front range, and the second panoramic camera assembly 13 monitors the rear range. The captured images of the first panoramic camera assembly 12 and the second panoramic camera assembly 13 are spliced into one image, thereby increasing the imaging range of the multi-camera device 10.

[0040] Secondly, the detail camera assembly 14 is located below the first panoramic camera assembly 12 and the second panoramic camera assembly 13. Since the detail camera assembly 14 can rotate vertically and horizontally at the middle of the bottom of the device housing 11, the detail camera assembly 14 can capture images of any area within the imaging ranges of the first panoramic camera assembly 12 and the second panoramic camera assembly 13, making the images of this area clearer.

[0041] Then, the above functional modes can include a stitching mode and a free imaging mode. The stitching mode is as follows. For example, by both the first panoramic camera assembly 12 and the second panoramic camera assembly 13 achieving horizontal rotation, the images captured by the first panoramic camera assembly 12 and the second panoramic camera assembly 13 can be stitched at a certain angle. The free imaging mode is as follows. For example, the first panoramic camera assembly 12, the second panoramic camera assembly 13, and the detail camera assembly 14 are each adjusted to an imaging angle, and each realizes imaging and PTZ functions, etc. The above motion modes can be but are not limited to a linkage mode. For example, the first panoramic camera assembly 12 and the second panoramic camera assembly 13 act as panoramic lenses for imaging, and the detail camera assembly 14 can perform zoom-in imaging on the interesting details that intrude into the panoramic lens, etc.

[0042] Thus, by changing the positional relationships of the first panoramic camera assembly 12, the second panoramic camera assembly 13, and the detail camera assembly 14 on the device housing 11, it can not only meet front and rear angle, multi-angle imaging, etc., but also meet imaging at positions such as corridors, sidewalks, and intersections; at the same time, it can also realize various functional modes and motion modes, etc.

[0043] In some embodiments, the multi-camera device 10 further includes a controller (not shown in the figure). The controller is respectively connected to the first panoramic camera assembly 12, the second panoramic camera assembly 13, and the detail camera assembly 14. The controller can control the first panoramic camera assembly 12, the second panoramic camera assembly 13, and the detail camera assembly 14 to achieve functional cabinet modes and free imaging modes, etc. The first panoramic camera assembly 12, the second panoramic camera assembly 13, and the detail camera assembly 14 are independently arranged. That is, the first panoramic camera assembly 12, the second panoramic camera assembly 13, and the detail camera assembly 14 work independently and do not affect each other.

[0044] If the first panoramic camera assembly 12 and the second panoramic camera assembly 13 do not conflict with each other, do not interfere with each other, and cooperate with each other, the multi-camera device 10 can achieve an effect that one plus one is greater than two. The detail camera assembly 14 does not conflict with, does not interfere with, and cooperates with the first panoramic camera assembly 12 and the second panoramic camera assembly 13 respectively, so as to realize the flexible layout, linkage shooting, field of view angle splicing and other operations of the multi-camera device 10. Among them, the detail camera assembly 14 can rotate up and down and horizontally with a larger range and a longer focal length, etc.

[0045] The controller can realize image splicing of at least two of the first panoramic camera assembly 12, the second panoramic camera assembly 13, and the detail camera assembly 14. It should be noted that the principles of splicing, linkage, and target tracking in the multi-camera device 10 in this embodiment can refer to the prior art and will not be elaborated here. For example, by both the first panoramic camera assembly 12 and the second panoramic camera assembly 13 realizing horizontal rotation, the images collected by the first panoramic camera assembly 12 and the second panoramic camera assembly 13 can be spliced at a certain angle through the controller. In some embodiments, the first panoramic camera assembly 12 rotates horizontally around the first rotation axis at the first connection end 111. That is, the first panoramic camera assembly 12 can rotate horizontally to the left or right around the first rotation axis by a certain angle. The second panoramic camera assembly 13 rotates horizontally around the second rotation axis at the second connection end 112. That is, the second panoramic lens can rotate horizontally to the left or right along the second rotation axis by a certain angle. Among them, the first rotation axis and the second rotation axis are arranged parallel to each other; at the same time, both the first rotation axis and the second rotation axis are parallel to the second direction X. Among them, the second direction Y is perpendicular to the first direction X.

[0046] Through the above limiting method, the rotation starting points of the first panoramic camera assembly 12 along the first rotation axis and the second panoramic camera assembly 13 along the second rotation axis are the same. For example, when the first panoramic camera assembly 12 rotates to the left or right along the first rotation axis, it can be approximately the same as when the second panoramic camera assembly 13 rotates to the left or right along the second rotation axis, which is beneficial to subsequent image splicing and linkage in the multi-camera device 10. The above first rotation axis can be a virtual rotation axis. The second rotation axis can be a virtual rotation axis. Among them, the first rotation axis and the second rotation axis can be, but are not limited to, the vertical direction.

[0047] In a specific embodiment, the first panoramic camera assembly 12 rotates around the first rotation axis and rotates leftward by an angle greater than or equal to -100 degrees and less than or equal to 0 degrees in the first direction X. That is, the first panoramic camera assembly 12 rotates around the first rotation axis and rotates leftward by an angle in the first direction X that can be, but is not limited to, -100 degrees, -90 degrees, -80 degrees, -70 degrees, -60 degrees, -50 degrees, -40 degrees, -30 degrees, -20 degrees, -10 degrees, 0 degrees, etc. By the above angle limitation, the camera range can be increased, etc.

[0048] The first panoramic camera assembly 12 rotates around the first rotation axis and rotates rightward by an angle greater than or equal to 0 degrees and less than or equal to 100 degrees in the first direction X. That is, the first panoramic camera assembly 12 rotates around the first rotation axis and rotates rightward by an angle in the first direction X that can be, but is not limited to, 0 degrees, 10 degrees, 20 degrees, 30 degrees, 40 degrees, 50 degrees, 60 degrees, 70 degrees, 80 degrees, 90 degrees, 100 degrees, etc. By the above angle limitation, the camera range can be increased, etc.

[0049] In some embodiments, the first panoramic camera assembly 12 includes a first adapter housing 121 and a first panoramic lens assembly (not shown in the figure). The first adapter housing 121 rotates horizontally around the first rotation axis at the first connection end 111. The first panoramic lens assembly rotates up and down around the third rotation axis at the first adapter housing 121. That is, the first panoramic lens assembly can rotate up or down by a certain angle around the third rotation axis.

[0050] The second panoramic camera assembly 13 includes a second adapter housing and a second panoramic lens assembly (not shown in the figure). The second adapter housing rotates horizontally around the second rotation axis at the second connection end 112. The second panoramic lens assembly rotates up and down around the fourth rotation axis at the second adapter housing. That is, the second panoramic lens assembly can rotate up or down by a certain angle around the fourth rotation axis. Among them, the third rotation axis and the fourth rotation axis are parallel to each other. At the same time, both the third rotation axis and the fourth rotation axis are parallel to the third direction Z. The third direction Z is perpendicular to the first direction X. The third direction Z can be, but is not limited to, the horizontal direction.

[0051] Through the above limiting method, the rotation starting point of the first panoramic camera assembly 12 along the third rotation axis is the same as the rotation starting point of the second panoramic camera assembly 13 along the fourth rotation axis. For example, the first panoramic camera assembly 12 rotates left or right along the third rotation axis approximately the same, which is beneficial for subsequent image stitching and linkage in the multi-camera device 10, etc. The above third rotation axis can be a virtual rotation axis. The fourth rotation axis can be a virtual rotation axis. Among them, the third rotation axis and the fourth rotation axis can be, but are not limited to, the horizontal direction.

[0052] A first vertical rotation assembly (not shown in the figure) is provided between the first adapter housing 121 and the lower end of the first connection end 111, so that the top end of the first adapter housing 121 rotates horizontally around the first rotation axis through the first vertical rotation assembly at the lower end of the first connection end 111. The first vertical rotation assembly can be, but is not limited to, a gear assembly, a rotating shaft, etc. Among them, the first vertical rotation assembly is a conventional component for those skilled in the art and is not limited herein. In addition, a first horizontal rotation assembly (not shown in the figure) is provided between the first panoramic lens assembly and the first adapter housing 121, so that the first panoramic lens assembly rotates up and down relative to the first adapter housing 121. The angle of the first horizontal rotation assembly can be, but is not limited to, a rotating shaft, a driving motor, etc. Among them, the first horizontal rotation assembly is a conventional component for those skilled in the art and is not limited herein.

[0053] In a specific embodiment, the first panoramic lens assembly rotates downward around the third rotation axis and along the first direction X by an angle greater than or equal to -30 degrees and less than or equal to 0 degrees. That is, the angle by which the first panoramic lens assembly rotates downward around the third rotation axis and along the first direction X can be, but is not limited to, -30 degrees, -26 degrees, -20 degrees, -14 degrees, -10 degrees, -7 degrees, 0 degrees, etc. By the above angle limitation, the imaging range can be increased, etc.

[0054] The first panoramic lens assembly rotates upward around the third rotation axis and along the first direction X by an angle greater than or equal to 0 degrees and less than or equal to 30 degrees. The angle by which the first panoramic lens assembly rotates upward around the third rotation axis and along the first direction X can be, but is not limited to, 0 degrees, 7 degrees, 10 degrees, 14 degrees, 20 degrees, 26 degrees, 30 degrees, etc. By the above method, the imaging range can be increased, etc.

[0055] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , Figure 4 is a schematic structural diagram of the movement assembly in the first panoramic imaging assembly of the present application in the first state; Figure 5 is a schematic structural diagram of the movement assembly in the first panoramic imaging assembly of the present application in the second state. Combining Figures 1 to 3, in some embodiments, the first panoramic camera assembly 12 includes a first panoramic housing 122, a first fixing base 123, a first driving mechanism 124, and a first movement assembly 125. The first panoramic housing 122 can rotate up and down about a third rotation axis relative to the first adapter housing 121, etc. The first fixing base 123 is connected inside the first panoramic housing 122. For example, the first fixing base 123 is detachably or fixedly connected to a side surface of the first panoramic housing 122 facing the external environment. When the first movement assembly 125 passes through the first fixing base 123, one end of the first movement assembly 125 is close to the first panoramic housing 122. The first driving mechanism 124 is disposed between the first fixing base 123 and the first movement assembly 125. The first driving mechanism 124 is used to drive the first movement assembly 125 to rotate vertically. Since the first movement assembly 125 includes a first lens 1251 and a first image sensor board 1252. When the first movement assembly 125 rotates vertically under the rotation of the first driving mechanism 124, the first image sensor board 1252 also rotates vertically with the first movement assembly 125.

[0056] Please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 , Figure 6 is a schematic diagram of a horizontal target and a vertical target in the first panoramic camera assembly of the present application; Figure 7 is Figure 6 a schematic diagram of an image of the horizontal target shown; Figure 8 is Figure 6 a schematic diagram of an image of the vertical target shown. Combining Figures 1 to 5 , when the imaging target of the multi-camera device 10 becomes a vertical target D2 such as a corridor or a road that is larger than the horizontal target D1, the first panoramic lens assembly inside the first panoramic camera assembly 12 can be adjusted electrically. For example, the first lens 1251 and the first image sensor board 1252 are adjusted together to form a vertical imaging output frame. The image is adjusted through a controller or software, etc., so that the image is rotated into an image that conforms to the viewing angle of the user.

[0057] By adjusting the vertical rotation of the first movement assembly 125 in the above manner, the horizontal and vertical rotation of the image is realized, which can not only meet the requirements of different scenarios of the multi-camera device 10, but also improve the user experience of viewing the image.

[0058] Please refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 , Figure 9 is a partial schematic diagram of the first panoramic camera assembly of the present application; Figure 10 is Figure 9 the exploded schematic diagram shown. Combining Figure 1 and Figure 4, the above first driving mechanism 124 can be but is not limited to gear drive, belt drive, worm and worm gear drive, etc., as long as it can achieve the rotation of the first movement assembly 125. In some specific embodiments, the first driving mechanism 124 includes a first bearing 1241 and a first driving component 1242. The inner ring of the first bearing 1241 is sleeved on the first movement assembly 125; at the same time, the inner ring of the first bearing 1241 is connected to the outer periphery of the first movement assembly 125. For example, the inner ring of the first bearing 1241 is detachably or fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the first movement assembly 125. The outer ring of the first bearing 1241 is connected to the first fixing seat 123. For example, the outer ring of the first bearing 1241 is detachably or fixedly connected to the first fixing seat 123. The first driving component 1242 is disposed between the first fixing seat 123 and the first movement assembly 125. The first driving member 12421 is used to drive the first movement assembly 125 to drive the first image sensor board 1252 to rotate vertically. The first movement assembly 125 rotates vertically through the first bearing 1241, improving the smoothness of the vertical rotation of the first movement assembly 125, and thus reducing rotational friction, etc.

[0059] The first driving component 1242 in the first driving mechanism 124 can be but is not limited to gear drive, belt drive, worm and worm gear drive, etc., and is not limited herein. In a specific embodiment, the first driving component 1242 includes a first driving member 12421, a first worm gear 12422, and a first worm 12423. The first driving member 12421 is disposed on a side surface of the first fixing seat 123 facing away from the first panoramic housing 122. The first worm gear 12422 is sleeved on the first movement assembly 125; at the same time, the first worm gear 12422 is connected to the inner ring of the first bearing 1241. For example, the first worm gear 12422 is detachably or fixedly connected to the inner ring of the first bearing 1241. The first worm 12423 is sleeved on the drive shaft of the first driving member 12421. The first worm 12423 meshes with the first worm gear 12422. When the first driving member 12421 drives the first worm 12423 to rotate, the first worm 12423 drives the first worm gear 12422 to rotate, and the first worm gear 12422 drives the inner ring of the first bearing 1241 to rotate, thereby causing the first movement assembly 125 to rotate vertically, and then the first image sensor board 1252 rotates vertically, etc. Through the mutual cooperation of the above first driving member 12421, first worm gear 12422, and first worm 12423, the accuracy and stability of the first driving component 1242 driving the first movement assembly 125 to rotate are improved, so that the image is rotated into an image that conforms to the user's viewing angle.

[0060] In some embodiments, the first panoramic camera assembly 12 and the second panoramic camera assembly 13 are the same. That is, the structures of the first panoramic camera assembly 12 and the second panoramic camera assembly 13 are the same. The vertical rotation angle range and the horizontal rotation angle range of the second panoramic camera assembly 13 are the same as those of the first panoramic camera assembly 12, and will not be elaborated in detail here. For example, the second panoramic camera assembly 13 rotates leftward by an angle greater than or equal to -100 degrees and less than or equal to 0 degrees around the second rotation axis and along the first direction X. The second panoramic camera assembly 13 rotates rightward by an angle greater than or equal to 0 degrees and less than or equal to 100 degrees around the second rotation axis and along the first direction X. The second panoramic lens assembly rotates downward by an angle greater than or equal to -30 degrees and less than or equal to 0 degrees around the fourth rotation axis and along the first direction X.
