[0025] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0026] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a camera bracket for railway maintenance machinery according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a fixed seat 1 and an adjustment seat 2. The adjustment seat 2 includes a lower bracket 21 and an upper bracket 22 hinged to each other. The lower bracket 21 includes a bottom plate 211 and a first side plate 212 arranged on one side of the bottom plate 211. The upper bracket 22 includes a top plate 221 and a second side plate 222 arranged on one side of the top plate 221. The bottom plate 211 is rotatably connected to the fixed seat 1. The first side plate 212 is hinged to the second side plate 222. A mounting seat 23 for mounting a camera is provided on the top plate 221.
[0027] The hinged upper and lower brackets 22 and 21 allow for adjustment of the camera's pitch. The entire adjustable base 2 rotates on the fixed base 1, enabling a variety of camera angle adjustments to meet the diverse camera installation requirements for railway maintenance machinery. The upper and lower brackets 22 and 21 feature a simple and reliable structure. The camera can be conveniently connected to the top plate 221 via the mounting base 23 in the upper bracket 22, making it easy to use.
[0028] Furthermore, two first side panels 212 are provided on the bottom plate 211, and two second side panels 222 are provided on the top plate 221. The first side panels 212 and the second side panels 222 are connected by first screws 24, and the first screws 24 are provided with first nuts 25. Each first side panel 212 is hinged to a second side panel 222, so that the overall structure of the adjustment base 2 is stable and can provide stable support for the camera. When the first nuts 25 are not tightened, the upper bracket 22 can be rotated on the lower bracket 21 to adjust the pitch angle of the camera. When the angle adjustment is completed, it is only necessary to tighten the first nuts 25 and utilize the friction between the first side panel 212 and the second side panel 222 to fix the upper bracket 22 on the lower bracket 21, which is very convenient to operate.
[0029] Furthermore, the lower bracket 21 is positioned between the two second side plates 222, and the first nut 25 is disposed on the side of the second side plate 222 facing away from the lower bracket 21. Since the first nuts 25 are located outside the upper bracket 22, tightening the first nuts 25 is facilitated. The two second side plates 222 also provide a clamping effect on the lower bracket 21. Even when the first nuts 25 are not tightened, the first side plate 212 remains tightly attached to the second side plate 222, facilitating assembly.
[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, a plurality of first through holes 2211 are provided on the top plate 221. The plurality of first through holes 2211 are arranged around the mounting seat 23. The first through holes 2211 are also used to fix the camera. By arranging a plurality of first through holes 2211 around the mounting seat 23, the camera can be more firmly fixed on the top plate 221.
[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, the fixing base 1 includes a support plate 11 and two triangular plates 12, which are arranged on opposite sides of the support plate 11. The adjustment base 2 is connected to the support plate 11 via a second screw 13, which is provided with a second nut 14. The second screw 13 passes through the support plate 11 and is threadedly connected to the lower bracket 21, but the second screw 13 is not threadedly connected to the support plate 11. When the second nut 14 is not tightened, the adjustment base 2 is able to rotate freely. When the second nut 14 is tightened, the adjustment base 2 is fixed and cannot rotate, thereby achieving adjustment of the angle of the adjustment base 2.
[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the triangle plate 12 is provided with a second through hole 121 for fixing the fixing base 1. By setting a fastener such as a bolt in the second through hole 121, the fixing base 1 can be fixed to the mounting surface. Since both triangle plates 12 are provided with the second through hole 121, any side can be selected for installation of the railway maintenance machinery camera bracket.
[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, the mounting base 1 also includes a back plate 15, each of which is connected to a triangular plate 12 on either side. Connecting components 16 are provided on the back plate 15 for securing the mounting base 1. The railway maintenance machinery camera bracket of this embodiment can be mounted and secured not only via the triangular plate 12 but also via the connecting components 16 on the back plate 15, allowing for flexible selection of the appropriate mounting method based on the actual installation location.
[0034] like Figure 2 As shown, specifically, the connecting assembly 16 includes a base 161 and a connecting block 162. The base 161 is fixed to the surface of the back plate 15, and the connecting block 162 is connected to the base 161. When the installation location is not suitable for installing the fixing base 1 using fasteners such as bolts, the connecting block 162 can be inserted into the hole of the installation surface and fixed to the installation location by welding or other means, thereby realizing multiple installation methods.
[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, an elastic support member 17 is further provided on the support plate 11, and the top of the elastic support member 17 abuts against the bottom plate 211. The elastic support member 17 can provide a certain degree of support and cushioning for the bottom plate 211, thereby reducing the impact of vibration on the adjustment base 2, thereby protecting the camera installed on the adjustment base 2.
[0036] like Figures 4 to 6 As shown, in another embodiment, the upper bracket 22 is further provided with a protective assembly 26. The protective assembly 26 comprises a baffle 262 and two L-shaped brackets 261. One end of each L-shaped bracket 261 is connected to a side of the upper bracket 22. The baffle 262 is connected to an L-shaped bracket 261 on each side and is spaced apart from the upper bracket 22. The baffle 262 shields the upper portion of the camera, providing some protection, reducing the likelihood of damage, and thereby improving its reliability. The L-shaped bracket 261 and baffle 262 provide a simple structure, do not significantly increase the weight of the railway maintenance machine camera bracket, and do not significantly adversely affect its installation.
[0037] Furthermore, a shaft 263 is provided on both sides of the upper bracket 22, and the L-shaped bracket 261 is connected to the shaft 263. The shaft 263 is provided so that the position of the baffle 262 can be adjusted, so that the position of the baffle 262 can be determined according to actual needs to achieve better protection for the camera.
[0038] While the present invention has been described with reference to preferred embodiments, various modifications may be made and equivalent components may be substituted without departing from the scope of the present invention. In particular, the various technical features described in the various embodiments may be combined in any manner, provided no structural conflicts exist. The present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, but encompasses all technical solutions within the scope of the claims.
