Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of infrared thermal imaging equipment, in particular to a multi-leaf infrared shutter device with a small appearance and a narrow frame. Background Art

[0002] In infrared thermal imaging equipment, the exposure of the imaging device directly affects image quality. Among the mechanical devices influencing exposure, the aperture and shutter play a particularly prominent role. The shutter switch controls the amount of light reaching the film or photosensitive element and is a crucial component of all imaging equipment. The stability of the shutter speed and the accuracy of the aperture switching directly affect image quality. Therefore, the design of the shutter and aperture is a highly demanding aspect of imaging equipment.

[0003] Existing shutter devices are generally composed of multiple groups of blades, each group of blades consisting of multiple blades. The opening and closing of the blades are controlled by a blade rotation structure. When the shutter is closed, the upper shutter blade and the lower shutter blade often collide, rendering the shutter unusable or even causing irreversible damage, thereby increasing many unnecessary maintenance steps and repair costs. To this end, existing shutter devices are provided with anti-collision spacers between the blades. For example, Chinese patent CN215416210U discloses an aperture shutter device provided with an anti-collision spacer. However, the anti-collision spacer is in the shape of an arc and is only installed at the moving end of the blade. The segmentation effect of the anti-collision spacer is not ideal. In particular, after the shutter device has been used for a period of time, the rapid switching of the blades is likely to collide with the anti-collision spacer having a certain thickness, rendering the shutter unusable.

An annular anti-collision spacer 4 is arranged between the first main blade 211 and the second main blade 221, and the outer ring edge of the annular anti-collision spacer 4 is located in the inner cavity of the fixed seat 1, and the inner ring edge of the annular anti-collision spacer 4 is adapted to the shape of the light-through hole 11; the upper main blade, the upper auxiliary blade, the lower main blade and the lower auxiliary blade are driven by the driving mechanism 3, and can simultaneously move along the fixed seat 1 toward or away from the light-through hole 11.

[0040] This application provides more comprehensive anti-collision protection by adopting an annular full-surround anti-collision spacer instead of the traditional single-piece anti-collision spacer, reducing direct collisions between blades, thereby reducing damage to the blades, reducing the probability of damage to the shutter device, reducing maintenance costs and maintenance steps, improving the reliability of the shutter device during rapid switching, ensuring its stable operation under various usage conditions, and helping to extend the service life of the shutter device.

[0041] In addition, the present application adopts a dual pendulum drive structure, which is independently transmitted through two sets of wires to provide two sets of independent driving forces, thereby improving the stability and sensitivity of the driving movement. The improved driving mechanism 3 design increases the static force, thereby enhancing the impact resistance of the shutter switch, so that it can still maintain stable operation when subjected to impact and vibration, and has a longer service life.

[0042] As a further preferred embodiment, the outer ring of the annular anti-collision spacer 4 is provided with a limiting notch 41 and / or a limiting protrusion 42.

In addition, the winding section of the long L-shaped iron strip 31 increases the winding length of the winding shaft, thereby enhancing the magnetic field strength, making it more convenient for machine winding, and improving production efficiency.

[0048] As a further preferred embodiment, the fixing seat 1 is provided with a first rotating shaft 15 for mounting the crank 34 and an arc-shaped hole 16 for the crank 34 to pass through.
