DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features of the embodiments in this application can be combined with each other. Now, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, a detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the present utility model will be given.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the utility model provides a swingable panoramic lens 100, comprising: a support frame 110, a swing frame 120 rotatably connected to the support frame 110, a lens module 130 is arranged in the swing frame 120, a rotation drive assembly 140 is arranged on the support frame 110, and a linkage member 150 connected to the rotation drive assembly 140 is arranged on the swing frame 120, so that the rotation drive assembly 140 drives the swing frame 120 to swing through the linkage member 150.

[0026] Specifically, the support frame 110 supports and connects the swing frame 120, which helps ensure the reliability of the rotational connection when the swing frame 120 is rotationally connected to the support frame 110. When the swing frame 120 rotates relative to the support frame 110, the lens module 130 provided in the swing frame 120 can rotate synchronously with the swing frame 120. In addition, by providing a rotation drive assembly 140 on the support frame 110 and a linkage 150 provided on the swing frame 120, the linkage 150 is connected to the rotation drive assembly 140, which facilitates the transmission force at the rotation drive assembly 140 to be transmitted to the linkage 150, and drives the swing frame 120 to rotate through the linkage 150. Among them, the lens module 130 is used to capture the overall situation of the monitored area.

[0027] The swingable panoramic lens 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application is provided with a support frame 110 and a swing frame 120 rotatably connected to the support frame 110. When the lens module 130 is set in the swing frame 120, the lens module 130 will rotate synchronously with the swing frame 120. After the swingable panoramic lens 100 is installed, if there is a deviation between the current shooting area and the actual area to be shot, the linkage 150 can be driven by the rotation drive assembly 140. The linkage 150 then drives the swing frame 120 to rotate relative to the support frame 110, thereby adjusting the pitch angle of the lens module 130, thereby adjusting the viewing angle of the monitored area, thereby improving the applicability during use.

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the rotation drive assembly 140 includes a rotating shaft 141, and a rotating wheel 142 and a gear 143 respectively arranged on the rotating shaft 141. The rotating shaft 141 is rotatably connected to the support frame 110. The linkage 150 includes a connecting portion 152 and a rack portion 154 that are connected to each other. The connecting portion 152 is connected to the swing frame 120, and the rack portion 154 is engaged with the gear 143, wherein the rack portion 154 is arc-shaped.

[0029] Specifically, the wheel 142 and the gear 143 are coaxially arranged on the rotating shaft 141. When the rotating shaft 141 rotates relative to the support frame 110, the wheel 142 and the gear 143 can rotate synchronously relative to the rotating shaft 141. The linkage 150 is engaged with the gear 143 through the rack portion 154. In order for the linkage 150 to drive the swing frame 120 to rotate relative to the support frame 110, the rack portion 154 needs to be set to an arc shape, and the connecting portion 152 is fixedly connected to the swing frame 120. In addition, in order to improve the adjustment accuracy of the linkage 150, the outer ring diameter of the wheel 142 can be set to be larger than the outer ring diameter of the gear 143, and the outer ring diameter of the rack portion 154 corresponding to the arc shape can be set to be larger than the outer ring diameter of the gear 143, so as to improve the transmission ratio, thereby achieving more precise adjustment of the swing angle of the panoramic lens.

[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, a reinforcing rib 156 is provided at the connection between the rack portion 154 and the connecting portion 152 .

[0031] The above-described method is beneficial for improving the structural strength of the linkage member 150, preventing the linkage member 150 from failing due to damage during use, thereby ensuring stability during use. In addition, a closed structure can be formed between the reinforcing rib 156 and the rack portion 154, that is, the reinforcing rib 156 and the rack portion 154 can form a triangular shape, avoiding the use of an open structure, which is beneficial for further improving the overall structural strength.

[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, the swing frame 120 includes a accommodating shell 122 and an axle body 124 arranged on opposite sides of the accommodating shell 122, so that the swing frame 120 is rotatably connected to the support frame 110 through the axle body 124. The accommodating shell 122 includes a spherical arc surface and a through hole 1222 arranged on the spherical arc surface, and the lens module 130 is exposed through the through hole 1222.

[0033] Specifically, the swing frame 120 facilitates the installation of the lens module 130 in the accommodating shell 122 through the accommodating shell 122 and the shafts 124 arranged on opposite sides of the accommodating shell 122, so as to protect the lens module 130. In addition, the accommodating shell 122 includes a spherical arc surface, which can avoid interference between the accommodating shell 122 and the support frame 110 when the accommodating shell 122 rotates relative to the support frame 110, so as to ensure smoothness during rotation. At the same time, by providing a through hole 1222 on the spherical arc surface, the lens module 130 is conveniently exposed through the above-mentioned through hole 1222 to avoid obstruction of the imaging of the lens module 130. When the swing frame 120 rotates relative to the support frame 110 through the shaft 124, the lens module 130 follows the swing frame 120 to adjust the shooting area.

[0034] Please continue to refer to Figure 3A turntable 1224 is provided on one side of the accommodating shell 122, and a stopper 1226 is provided on the opposite sides of the turntable 1224. The support frame 110 is provided with an avoidance groove 112 corresponding to the turntable 1224, and a limiting protrusion 114 corresponding to the stopper 1226, which is used to limit the swing angle of the swing frame 120.

[0035] Specifically, the turntable 1224 is configured in an arc shape. When the turntable 1224 is aligned with the avoidance groove 112, the turntable 1224 rotates without interfering with the support frame 110. The stops 1226 provided on opposite sides of the turntable 1224 cooperate with the limiting ridges 114 provided on the support frame 110. When the swing frame 120 swings to the desired maximum angle, the stops 1226 abut against the limiting ridges 114, limiting the swing angle of the swing frame 120 and ensuring that the swing frame 120 swings within a predetermined angular range. This also prevents the gear 143 from disengaging from the rack portion 154, ensuring reliable transmission.

[0036] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a limiting platform 1228 is provided on the other side of the accommodating shell 122, and a limiting groove 158 corresponding to the limiting platform 1228 is provided on the connecting portion 152. The limiting groove 158 can be engaged with the limiting platform 1228, and the connecting portion 152 and the limiting platform 1228 are connected by fasteners.

[0037] Specifically, the engagement between the limiting groove 158 and the limiting platform 1228 ensures the relative position of the linkage member 150 and the swing frame 120 when they are connected, and facilitates the connection between the connecting portion 152 and the limiting platform 1228 by fasteners. The fasteners can be screws.

[0038] like Figure 2 As shown, the support frame 110 is provided with a first card slot 116 corresponding to the two ends of the rotating shaft 141, and a first limiting member 117 corresponding to the first card slot 116. The first limiting member 117 is detachably connected to the support frame 110, and a first limiting hole is formed between the first limiting member 117 and the first card slot 116 for limiting the two ends of the rotating shaft 141.

[0039] By adopting the above-mentioned form, when the rotating drive assembly 140 is matched with the support frame 110, it is only necessary to place the rotating drive assembly 140 on the support frame 110, and let the rotating shaft 141 align with the first slot 116, and then limit the rotating shaft 141 by the first limiting member 117. Since the first limiting member 117 is detachably connected to the support frame 110, when disassembly is required, it is only necessary to remove the first limiting member 117 to directly take out the rotating drive assembly 140, which is conducive to improving the convenience of disassembly and assembly, reducing the difficulty of disassembly and assembly, and improving operational efficiency.

[0040] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the support frame 110 is also provided with a second card slot 118 corresponding to the shaft body 124, and a second limiting member 119 corresponding to the second card slot 118. The second limiting member 119 is detachably connected to the support frame 110, and a second limiting hole is formed between the second limiting member 119 and the second card slot 118 for limiting the two ends of the shaft body 124.

[0041] Similarly, when connecting the swing frame 120 with the support frame 110, it is only necessary to place the swing frame 120 on the support frame 110, and align the shaft 124 with the second slot 118, and then limit the shaft 124 through the second limit member 119. Since the second limit member 119 is detachably connected to the support frame 110, when disassembly is required, it is only necessary to remove the second limit member 119 to directly take out the swing frame 120, which is conducive to improving the convenience of disassembly and assembly, reducing the difficulty of disassembly and assembly, and improving operational efficiency.

[0042] It should be noted that when the first limiting member 117 and the second limiting member 119 are detachably connected to the support frame 110 , they can be connected by screws, which is conducive to reducing the difficulty of matching and improving the convenience during matching.

[0043] like Figure 2 As shown, the first limiting member 117 includes a first arc-shaped limiting portion 1172, and a first fixing portion 1174 connected to the opposite sides of the first arc-shaped limiting portion 1172, the first arc-shaped limiting portion 1172 corresponds to the first card slot 116 to form a first limiting hole, and the first limiting member 117 is detachably connected to the support frame 110 through the first fixing portion 1174; the second limiting member 119 includes a second arc-shaped limiting portion 1192, and a second fixing portion 1194 connected to the opposite sides of the second arc-shaped limiting portion 1192, the second arc-shaped limiting portion 1192 corresponds to the second card slot 118 to form a second limiting hole, and the second limiting member 119 is detachably connected to the support frame 110 through the second fixing portion 1194.

[0044] Specifically, the first limiting member 117 is connected to the first fixing portion 1174 on opposite sides of the first arc-shaped limiting portion 1172. When the first limiting member 117 is aligned with the support frame 110, the first fixing portion 1174 is aligned with the support frame 110, and the first arc-shaped limiting portion 1172 is aligned with the first card slot 116 to form a first limiting hole for limiting the rotating shaft 141, wherein the first arc-shaped limiting portion 1172 forms a semicircular structure of the first limiting hole, and the first card slot 116 forms another partial semicircular structure of the first limiting hole to ensure stable rotation of the rotating shaft 141 relative to the support frame 110. Similarly, the second limiting member 119 is connected to the second fixing portion 1194 on opposite sides of the second arc-shaped limiting portion 1192. When the second limiting member 119 is aligned with the support frame 110, the second fixing portion 1194 is aligned with the support frame 110, and the second arc-shaped limiting portion 1192 is aligned with the second slot 118 to form a second limiting hole for limiting the shaft body 124, wherein the second arc-shaped limiting portion 1192 forms a semicircular structure of the second limiting hole, and the second slot 118 forms another part of the semicircular structure of the second limiting hole to ensure the stability of the rotation of the shaft body 124 relative to the support frame 110.

[0045] like Figure 5 As shown, the swingable panoramic lens 100 further includes a housing 160 , which is provided with a window 162 and an opening 164 . The support frame 110 is disposed in the housing 160 , and the swing frame 120 corresponds to the window 162 . Part of the rotating wheel 142 is exposed from the opening 164 .

[0046] Specifically, the swing frame 120 corresponds to the viewing window 162, ensuring that the lens module 130, housed within the swing frame 120, is exposed through the viewing window 162 to maintain the desired imaging quality. Furthermore, the support frame 110, housed within the housing 160, protects the entire swingable panoramic lens 100 from external environmental influences. A portion of the rotating wheel 142 is exposed through the opening 164, facilitating adjustment of the swing angle of the swing frame 120 and enhancing operational convenience.
