[0029] In order to further understand the content of the present invention, the present invention is described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the embodiments are merely for explanation of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0030] The following is combined with Figures 1-6 This embodiment is described in further detail.

[0031] like Figure 1As shown, an adjustable industrial camera in this embodiment includes a camera body 100 and a lens 110 mounted on the camera body 100. The camera body 100 includes a housing and a back cover provided on the back of the housing. The back cover is provided with a wiring port 1 and a network port 2. A shielding plate 120 is provided on the back of the housing and is relatively and movably covered outside the back cover. A box body 130 is provided on the upper and lower end surfaces of the housing. A cavity 501 is provided in the box body 130. A driving component for driving the two shielding plates 120 to approach each other is provided in the cavity 501. A moving component is also provided in the cavity 501. When one of the two shielding plates 120 moves, the moving component drives the other shielding plate 120 to move relative to each other.

[0032] In this embodiment, the lens 110 is mounted on the front side of the camera body 100. When the camera body 100 is shooting, the shooting focal length can be adjusted through the lens 110 to meet the needs of different scenes. The lens 110 adopts the structure of the patent publication number CN221039585U, which enables the focal length to be adjusted, thereby making the industrial camera focus adjustable.

[0033] The box body 130 is fixedly mounted on the upper and lower side walls of the housing and close to the rear cover. When the two shielding plates 120 are driven to approach each other by the driving component in the cavity 501, the two shielding plates 120 will shield the wiring port 1 and the network port 2, thereby preventing dust from entering the wiring port 1 and the network port 2. Compared with the existing ones, when this adjustable industrial camera is not in use and the power cord and the network cable are removed from the wiring port 1 and the network port 2, dust can be prevented from entering the wiring port 1 and the network port 2, resulting in poor contact between the power cord and the network cable when they are inserted into the corresponding wiring port 1 and the network port 2.

[0034] Among them, by moving one of the two shielding plates 120, the moving component will drive the other shielding plate 120 to move. At this time, the two shielding plates 120 begin to move away from each other, releasing the shielding of the wiring port 1 and the network port 2. Then, the power cord and the network cable can be inserted into the wiring port 1 and the network port 2 in turn. In actual use, the staff can move the shielding plate 120 with one hand and insert the power cord and the network cable into the wiring port 1 and the network port 2 in turn with the other hand, which is convenient for actual use;

[0035] Among them, rubber strips 200 are fixedly installed on the opposite side walls of the two shielding plates 120. When the power cord and the network cable are inserted into the wiring port 1 and the network port 2 in sequence, when the staff releases the toggle of the shielding plates 120, the driving component will drive the two shielding plates 120 to move closer to each other again. At this time, the rubber strips 200 on the two shielding plates 120 will abut against the outer surfaces of the power cord and the network cable, protecting the power cord and the network cable, and preventing the two shielding plates 120 from colliding with the power cord and the network cable when the two shielding plates 120 are close to each other, causing damage to the power cord and the network cable;

[0036] Among them, when it is necessary to unplug the power cord and the network cable from the wiring port 1 and the network port 2 in turn, the driving component will automatically drive the two shielding plates 120 to move closer to each other to block the wiring port 1 and the network port 2, thereby preventing dust from entering the wiring port 1 and the network port 2, which is convenient for actual use.

[0037] During actual use, the front side walls of the two shielding plates 120 are provided with pulling holes 211 for pulling the shielding plates 120 to move. The pulling holes 211 facilitate staff to move the shielding plates 120 .

[0038] like Figure 1-6 As shown, in this embodiment, two notches 301 are provided on the front side wall of the box body 130, which are staggered and connected to the cavity 501. Both notches 301 are arranged along the moving direction of the shielding plate 120.

[0039] The driving assembly includes a rack 510 arranged in the cavity 501 and located at the corresponding slot 301. The rack 510 is movably arranged. The two baffles 120 are each provided with a connecting plate 400, one end of which passes through the corresponding slot 301 and is connected to the corresponding rack 510. A fixing plate 511 is provided on the rack 510. A spring 520 is provided in the cavity 501 for pushing the corresponding fixing plate 511 to move. The movement of the fixing plate 511 is used to drive the corresponding rack 510 to move, so as to realize the mutual approach of the two baffles 120.

[0040] In this embodiment, through the arrangement of the slot 301, the rack 510, the connecting plate 400, the fixed plate 511 and the spring 520, the connecting plate 400 is fixedly connected to the rack 510, the other end of the connecting plate 400 is fixedly mounted on the baffle plate 120, and the fixed plate 511 is fixedly mounted on the rack 510. When the two springs 520 in the cavity 501 push the corresponding fixed plate 511 to move, the movement of the fixed plate 511 will drive the rack 510 to move, and the movement of the rack 510 through the connecting plate 400 can drive the corresponding baffle plate 120 to move, thereby realizing the mutual approach of the two baffle plates 120 to block the wiring port 1 and the network port 2.

[0041] A pair of vertical plates 540 are fixedly mounted on one side wall of the cavity 501. Vertical rods 541 for corresponding springs 520 to be mounted on each vertical plate 540, allowing the springs 520 to be mounted in the cavity 501. At the same time, one end of the two vertical rods 541 is inserted into the corresponding side walls of the cavity 501, allowing the vertical rods 541 to be stably mounted in the cavity 501.

[0042] In actual use, relative protrusions 550 are fixedly installed on one side wall of the cavity 501 along the moving direction of the rack 510. One side wall of the two racks 510 is provided with grooves with openings at both ends for the corresponding protrusions 550 to be snapped into. The rack 510 can be snapped into the protrusion 550 through the groove, thereby realizing the movable installation of the rack 510 in the cavity 501 and making the movement of the rack 510 more stable.

[0043] like Figure 1-5 As shown, in this embodiment, the moving component includes a round rod 530 arranged at the center of the cavity 501, and a gear 531 is provided on the round rod 530, which is rotatable and meshes with the two racks 510. The movement of one of the two racks 510 is used to drive the gear 531 to rotate, and the rotation of the gear 531 drives the other rack 510 to move, thereby realizing the relative movement of the two shielding plates 120.

[0044] In this embodiment, by setting the round rod 530 and the gear 531, the round rod 530 is fixedly installed in the cavity 501, and the gear 531 is rotatably installed on the round rod 530 through the bearing. When one of the two shielding plates 120 moves, the one shielding plate 120 moves through the connecting plate 400 to drive one of the two racks 510 to move, and the movement of one rack 510 drives the gear 531 to rotate, and the rotation of the gear 531 drives the other rack 510 to move, and the movement of the other rack 510 through the connecting plate 400 can drive the other shielding plate 120 to move, thereby realizing that one of the two shielding plates 120 moves and drives the other shielding plate 120 to move relative to each other.

[0045] Working principle: The staff drives one of the two baffles 120 to move through the pull hole 211, and can drive the other baffle 120 to move synchronously through the moving component, so that the two baffles 120 move away from each other, removing the obstruction of the wiring port 1 and the network port 2. At this time, the staff inserts the power cord and the network cable into the wiring port 1 and the network port 2 in turn to enable the industrial camera to take pictures; when the power cord and the network cable are pulled out from the wiring port 1 and the network port 2 in turn, the driving component will automatically drive the two baffles 120 to block the wiring port 1 and the network port 2 to prevent dust from entering the wiring port 1 and the network port 2, affecting the power cord and the network cable when they are inserted into the wiring port 1 and the network port 2 again, resulting in poor contact.

[0046] In short, the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. All equivalent changes and modifications made according to the scope of the patent application of the present invention should fall within the scope of the present invention patent.
