Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of vehicle-mounted camera equipment, in particular to a panoramic camera positioning device mounted on a cleaning vehicle. Background Art

[0002] Garbage collection trucks are specially designed for collecting and transporting various types of garbage. The panoramic camera on the garbage collection truck is mainly composed of an optical lens, an image sensor, an image signal processor, a serializer and a connector. The working principle of the camera is that external light is irradiated onto an object, and after reflection and refraction, it is projected onto the image sensor through the optical lens. The photoelectric device of the sensor converts the light signal into an electrical signal, which is converted into an image signal output in RGB, YUV and other formats through the image signal processor. The optical lens focuses the light and projects the object in the field of view onto the surface of the imaging medium.

[0003] Because road dredging trucks are large and have large blind spots, multiple wide-angle cameras are installed on the front, back, left, and right sides of the vehicle. The panoramic bird's-eye view synthesized through algorithm processing can significantly reduce the risk of collisions when driving on narrow roads, thereby increasing driving safety.

[0004] At present, panoramic cameras are mostly installed on both sides of garbage trucks by pasting or fixing with punched bolts. Garbage trucks are mostly used outdoors. Cameras fixed by pasting are easy to fall off after being exposed to the sun and washed by rain. Cameras fixed by punched bolts are easy to leave through holes on the side walls of the garbage truck, damaging the original structure of the vehicle and leaving holes that are difficult to repair. The garbage transported inside the garbage truck inevitably contains sewage. The sewage inside the garbage truck can easily flow out through the punched holes and pollute the ground, and will cause certain pollution to the camera. In addition, the existing garbage truck camera does not have a flip function. When it is not in use and parked, the outside of the camera lens is easily covered with dust, resulting in unclear pictures and affecting use. Utility Model Content

[0032] The working process of this utility model:

[0033] When in use, the fastening block 211 with a C-shaped structure is magnetically adsorbed on the reinforcement rib of the side wall of the cleaning and transporting vehicle 1, so that the top inner part of the fastening block 211 abuts against the top of the reinforcement rib of the side wall of the cleaning and transporting vehicle 1, and the rotating handle 214 is turned to make the abutment plate 213 at the top of the fastening screw 212 abut against the reinforcement rib of the side wall of the cleaning and transporting vehicle 1, and the rotation is completed;

[0034] When the camera angle needs to be adjusted, the fastening rod 2282 is rotated counterclockwise to separate the bottom of the fastening bolt 228 from the bottom of the swing rod 226. At this time, the other end of the swing rod 226 is separated from the bottom of the fastening abutment rod 225, and the rotating ball 223 is rotated to adjust the camera angle. After the adjustment is completed, the fastening rod 2282 is rotated clockwise, and the fastening rod 2282 moves down and drives the swing rod 226 to move down and abut. At this time, the other end of the swing rod 226 moves upward and drives the fastening abutment rod 225 to abut against the bottom of the rotating ball 223 for fastening and limiting. When in use, the lens of the camera lens body 31 is located in the through slot 321 of the protective shell 32. When the camera lens body 31 is not in use, the flip motor is energized and rotates through the rotating shaft 322 to drive the camera lens body 31 to flip downward. At this time, the lens of the camera lens body 31 is located below the through slot 321, which extends the service life of the equipment, reduces maintenance costs and improves the reliability of the system.

[0035] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
