Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of camera technology, in particular to a multi-axis linkage camera robot. Background Technique
[0002] With the development of the times, people's living standards have been continuously improved, science and technology have been continuously progressing and developing, and robots have been widely used in various occasions. A robot is a machine device that automatically performs work. It can either accept human commands, run pre-programmed programs, or act according to the principles and guidelines formulated by artificial intelligence technology. Its task is to assist or replace human work, such as in the manufacturing industry, construction industry, or dangerous work. Therefore, a robot is a very suitable choice for outdoor photography.
[0003] However, current outdoor camera robots generally take pictures by being installed on a mobile carrier. Although this method has relatively high flexibility, its safety is poor, and it is not suitable for complex environments, thus unable to obtain relatively important image information in the wild.
[0004] As disclosed in a new type of outdoor camera robot in Chinese Patent CN207593806U, compared with traditional outdoor camera robots, it is reasonably designed and has a simple structure. The fixed installation method makes the robot more stable, and it can be applied to harsh conditions, improving the application range of the device. The two sets of camera devices can perform all-round photography of the surrounding area according to requirements, and the set LED spotlights can perform efficient photography at night, thus helping people obtain better image information and improving the practicality of the device. The set electric telescopic rod can adjust the height according to requirements, and then it is convenient for people to obtain image information at different heights. The set wireless communication device can transmit the collected data to a remote terminal, and then remote control is achieved, which is convenient for popularization and use.
[0005] However, the outdoor terrain is uneven, so when this camera robot moves in the wild, it may tip over, and in the case of no one in the wild, the tipped-over camera robot cannot be set upright again.
[0006] Therefore, we urgently need to provide a multi-axis linkage camera robot that can prevent tipping over. Content of the Utility Model
[0007] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a multi-axis linkage camera robot to solve the problem that the outdoor terrain is uneven, so when this camera robot moves in the wild, it may tip over, and in the case of no one in the wild, the tipped-over camera robot cannot be set upright again as mentioned in the above background technique.
[0008] To achieve the above object, the present utility model provides the following technical solution: A multi-axis linkage camera robot, comprising a moving base and a sleeve rod. The sleeve rod is welded to the middle position on the upper side of the moving base. An anti-fall mechanism is connected to the outer end of the sleeve rod, and a camera mechanism is connected to the upper end of the moving base.
[0009] The anti-fall mechanism includes a circular shaft, a rotating plate, an electric telescopic rod, an iron block, a first limiting ring, and a second limiting ring. The circular shaft is fixedly connected to the upper ends around the outer side of the sleeve rod. The rotating plate is connected to the outer end of the circular shaft. The electric telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the lower end of the rotating plate. The iron block is fixedly connected to the lower side of the mobile end of the electric telescopic rod. The first limiting ring is fixedly connected to the end of the circular shaft away from the sleeve rod on the outer side, and the second limiting ring is fixedly connected to the circular shaft on the outer side near the first limiting ring.
[0010] Further improvement lies in that a rotating hole is opened at the upper end inside the rotating plate, and the outer side of the circular shaft is rotationally connected to the inner side of the rotating hole. The outer side of the upper end of the rotating plate is slidably connected to the side adjacent to the first limiting ring and the second limiting ring, so that the rotating plate can only rotate around the circular shaft between the first limiting ring and the second limiting ring.
[0011] Further improvement lies in that the rotating plate is a wooden board, and its weight is lower than that of the iron block at the lower end. Thus, under the action of gravity, when the camera robot shakes, the rotating plate swings around the circular shaft to keep vertically downward.
[0012] Further improvement lies in that the camera mechanism includes a moving shaft, a slider, a motor, a threaded rod, a rotating shaft, a cylinder, and a camera. The moving shaft is slidably connected to the inside of the sleeve rod. The slider is fixedly connected to the lower ends on the front and rear sides of the moving shaft. The motor is fixedly connected to the position on the upper side of the moving base inside the sleeve rod. The threaded rod is fixedly connected to the upper end of the output shaft of the motor. The rotating shaft is hinged to the upper end of the moving shaft. The cylinder is connected to the front upper side of the moving shaft. The camera is installed at the front end of the rotating shaft.
[0013] Further improvement lies in that a threaded hole is opened at the middle position inside the moving shaft, chutes are opened at the front and rear ends of the sleeve rod, the outer side of the threaded rod is threadedly connected to the inner side of the threaded hole, and the outer side of the slider is slidably connected to the inner side of the chute. Thus, when the motor is started and its output shaft rotates to drive the threaded rod to rotate in the threaded hole, the moving shaft can slide along the inside of the sleeve rod.
[0014] Further improvement lies in that the fixed end of the cylinder is hinged to the front upper side of the moving shaft through a hinge member, and the mobile end of the cylinder is hinged to the lower rear side of the rotating shaft through a hinge member. Thus, when the cylinder is started and its output shaft moves, the rotating shaft can be driven to rotate around the upper end of the moving shaft.
[0015] Further improvement lies in that the front lower part of the moving base is inclined. Thus, when the front end of the moving base touches a ground protrusion, the inclined surface at its front end will slide up along the surface of the protrusion until the crawler presses on the protrusion and continues to travel.
[0016] In summary, the present application discloses a multi-axis linkage camera robot.
[0017] In this technical solution, during the tipping process of the camera robot, the iron block under the rotating plate that rotates around the circular shaft will first contact the ground to support the tilted camera robot and prevent it from tipping over. Then, by starting the electric telescopic rod to extend its output shaft to make its overall length increase, the tilted camera robot will be lifted and rotated at the same time until the tilt angle of the camera robot is less than its maximum rollover angle, and then the camera robot will turn back to the upright state by itself. Therefore, the anti-tipping mechanism can prevent the camera robot from tipping over.
[0018] Furthermore, when starting the motor and its output shaft rotates to drive the threaded rod to rotate in the threaded hole, the moving shaft can slide along the inner side of the sleeve rod to change the height, and at the same time drive the height of the upper camera to change. Then, by starting the cylinder and its output shaft moves, it can drive the rotating shaft to rotate around the upper end of the moving shaft, and at the same time can change the shooting angle of the camera. Therefore, through the linkage cooperation of the moving shaft and the rotating shaft, the camera can be adjusted to different shooting angles for comprehensive shooting.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
[0025] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0026] Please refer to Figures 1 - 5 , the present utility model provides a technical solution: a multi-axis linkage camera robot, including a moving base 1 and a sleeve rod 2. The sleeve rod 2 is welded to the middle position on the upper side of the moving base 1. The front end of the moving base 1 is inclined downward. Thus, when the front end of the moving base 1 touches a ground protrusion, the inclined surface at its front end will slide upward along the surface of the protrusion until the crawler presses on the protrusion and continues to move, making the movement of the camera robot smoother. The outer end of the sleeve rod 2 is connected with an anti-fall mechanism, and the upper end of the moving base 1 is connected with a camera mechanism.
[0027] The anti-fall mechanism includes a circular shaft 301, a rotating plate 302, an electric telescopic rod 303, an iron block 304, a first limiting ring 305 and a second limiting ring 306. The circular shaft 301 is fixedly connected to the upper ends around the outside of the sleeve rod 2. The rotating plate 302 is connected to the outer end of the circular shaft 301. The electric telescopic rod 303 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the rotating plate 302. The iron block 304 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the moving end of the electric telescopic rod 303. The first limiting ring 305 is fixedly connected to one end of the circular shaft 301 away from the sleeve rod 2 on the outside. The second limiting ring 306 is fixedly connected to the outside of the circular shaft 301 near the first limiting ring 305. A rotating hole is opened at the upper end inside the rotating plate 302, and the outside of the circular shaft 301 is rotationally connected to the inside of the rotating hole. The outer side of the upper end of the rotating plate 302 is slidably connected to the side adjacent to the first limiting ring 305 and the second limiting ring 306, so that the rotating plate 302 can only rotate around the circular shaft 301 between the first limiting ring 305 and the second limiting ring 306.
[0028] The rotating plate 302 is made of wood, and its weight is lower than that of the iron block 304 at the lower end. Therefore, under the action of gravity, when the camera robot shakes, the rotating plate 302 swings around the circular shaft 301 and remains vertically downward. Thus, during the process of the camera robot tipping over, the iron block 304 below the rotating plate 302 that rotates around the circular shaft 301 will first contact the ground, support the tilted camera robot, and prevent it from tipping over. Moreover, if the camera robot tips over in the left - right direction, the iron blocks 304 at the front and rear ends of the sleeve rod 2 will first contact the ground. If the camera robot tips over in the front - rear direction, the iron blocks 304 at the left and right ends of the sleeve rod 2 will first contact the ground. Then, by starting the electric telescopic rod 303 to extend its output shaft to make its overall length elongate, the tilted camera robot will be lifted at the same time until the camera robot rotates to an inclination angle less than its maximum roll - over angle, and then the camera robot will turn back to the upright state by itself. Thus, the anti - tipping mechanism can prevent the camera robot from tipping over.
[0029] The camera mechanism includes a moving shaft 401, a slider 402, a motor 403, a threaded rod 404, a rotating shaft 405, a cylinder 406, and a camera 407. The moving shaft 401 is slidably connected to the inside of the sleeve rod 2. The slider 402 is fixedly connected to the lower ends on the front and rear sides of the moving shaft 401. The motor 403 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the moving base 1 at a position inside the sleeve rod 2. The threaded rod 404 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the output shaft of the motor 403. A threaded hole is provided in the middle position inside the moving shaft 401, and sliding grooves are provided at the front and rear ends of the sleeve rod 2. The outer side of the threaded rod 404 is threadedly connected to the inner side of the threaded hole, and the outer side of the slider 402 is slidably connected to the inner side of the sliding groove. Thus, when the motor 403 is started and its output shaft rotates to drive the threaded rod 404 to rotate in the threaded hole, the moving shaft 401 can slide along the inside of the sleeve rod 2 to change its height. And since the slider 402 slides in the sliding groove at the same time, the slider 402 will not move out of the sliding groove, preventing the moving shaft 401 from moving out of the upper end of the sleeve rod 2.
[0030] The rotating shaft 405 is hinged to the upper end of the moving shaft 401. The cylinder 406 is connected to the front of the upper end of the moving shaft 401. The camera 407 is installed at the front end of the rotating shaft 405. The fixed end of the cylinder 406 is hinged to the upper front side of the moving shaft 401 through a hinge, and the moving end of the cylinder 406 is hinged to the lower rear side of the rotating shaft 405 through a hinge. Thus, when the cylinder 406 is started and its output shaft moves, it can drive the rotating shaft 405 to rotate around the upper end of the moving shaft 401, and at the same time, it can change the shooting angle of the camera 407. Thus, through the linkage cooperation of the moving shaft 401 and the rotating shaft 405, the camera 407 can be adjusted to different shooting angles for comprehensive shooting.
[0031] Working principle: When the camera 1 needs to work, it is moved to the required camera position through the mobile base 1 at the bottom. Then, the motor 403 is started, and its output shaft rotates to drive the threaded rod 404 to rotate in the threaded hole, driving the moving shaft 401 to slide along the inner side of the sleeve rod 2 until the upper camera 407 is driven to the required height, and then the motor 403 is turned off. Then, the cylinder 406 is started, and its output shaft moves, which can drive the rotating shaft 405 to rotate around the upper end of the moving shaft 401 until the front camera 407 is driven to the required camera angle, and then the cylinder 406 is turned off. Then, the camera 407 is started to perform the camera work.
