Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cameras, and more particularly to a multi-spectral explosion-proof pan-tilt camera. Background Art

[0002] With the development and progress of society, industry and heavy industry are developing rapidly. Some industrial enterprises and factories are often accompanied by various flammable and explosive gases and liquids. This places higher demands on the monitoring equipment within the factory. On the one hand, it must be able to ensure that when the equipment itself has an abnormality, it will not cause combustion or sparks to overflow, which will cause the flammable gas and chemical raw materials in the factory to explode. On the other hand, it must be able to detect some abnormalities in the factory in advance and issue early warnings. However, traditional explosion-proof pan-tilt cameras mainly ensure that they will not have abnormalities themselves, and often ignore early warnings of some abnormalities that occur in the factory. Existing explosion-proof pan-tilt cameras have the following main shortcomings:

[0003] 1. Abnormal monitoring of the factory mainly relies on visible light, which makes it difficult to detect abnormalities such as flammable gas leaks and high temperatures;

[0004] 2. Traditional explosion-proof PTZ has slow operation speed, long inspection cycle and low efficiency in detecting abnormalities;

[0005] 3. The transmission mainly adopts worm gear, which is a direct engagement of mechanical teeth. After long-term operation, it will wear out and lose powder. On the one hand, it will further increase the mechanical clearance. On the other hand, the fallen metal powder may enter the camera lens or fall on the circuit board, causing damage to the electronic circuit board or components. Utility Model Content

The T-shaped mounting shell is rotatably connected to the upper end surface of the rectangular mounting shell, and the horizontal steering shaft passes through the rectangular mounting shell and is axially fixed to the lower end surface of the T-shaped mounting shell. The second servo motor is installed in the rectangular mounting shell, and the second servo motor is connected to the horizontal steering shaft through the second harmonic reducer. The first harmonic reducer and the second harmonic reducer both adopt harmonic reducers with 50 times deceleration.

[0010] Preferably, a base is fixed to the lower end surface of the rectangular mounting shell, and a bolt connection hole is provided on the base.
