[0046] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0047] With the continuous development of artificial intelligence, industrial cameras are gradually replacing human eyes to complete visual measurement and visual judgment tasks.

[0048] In related technologies, industrial cameras need to display the results of visual acquisition through output devices, such as displays. Industrial cameras and output devices require connectors to achieve signal conversion and transmission.

[0049] However, in actual use, industrial cameras have different output device models, and each output device has a different corresponding connection port. This leads to the problem that the connectors equipped with industrial cameras cannot be adapted to the output devices, which makes it difficult to improve the applicability of the connectors and the user experience.

[0050] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, this application provides a connector and an industrial camera. The connector is applied to the industrial camera, with its first end connected to and electrically conductive with the camera. The second end of the connector has multiple connectors, some for output signals and others for input and / or output signals. This structural design allows the connector to adapt to different external devices and perform signal output and input, improving its compatibility and applicability. Simultaneously, the connector's electrical connection with different external devices enables control and debugging of the industrial camera. Thus, industrial equipment can achieve multiple functional connections through the connector, further reducing the difficulty and cost of debugging the industrial camera.

[0051] The contents of this application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that those skilled in the art can have a clearer and more detailed understanding of the contents of this application.

[0052] See Figures 1-7 This application provides a connector 200 that can be applied to an industrial camera. The industrial camera includes a device body 100, and a connection port 110 is disposed on the device body 100. The connector 200 is connected to the connection port 110 to output signals from the industrial camera, and can also be connected to an external device to input signals to the industrial camera.

[0053] For example, the connector 200 in this embodiment includes a connecting line 210, a first connector 220, at least one second connector 230, and at least one third connector 240; the first connector 220 is electrically connected to a first end of the connecting line 210 and is configured to be electrically connected to a connection port 110; the second connector 230 and the third connector 240 are both disposed at a second end of the connecting line 210 and are both electrically connected to the first connector 220 through the connecting line 210; the second connector 230 is configured to output a signal; and the third connector 240 is configured to input and / or output a signal.

[0054] For example, the device body 100 of the industrial camera in this embodiment of the application has an image acquisition unit 120, a circuit board, and a connection port 110. The image acquisition unit 120 is electrically connected to the circuit board, and the connection port 110 is disposed on the circuit board. The connection port 110 and the circuit board are electrically connected, and the signal acquired by the image acquisition unit 120 can be output and / or input through the circuit board via the connection port 110.

[0055] The first end of the connecting cable 210 has a first connector 220, which is electrically connected to the connecting port 110 and enables signal transmission. It should be noted that the electrical connection between the first connector 220 and the connecting port 110 can be a direct electrical connection or an electrical connection via an adapter structure. The adapter structure could be, for example, a converter plug.

[0056] In some embodiments, the connector 200 and the device body 100 are detachably connected. When the connector 200 is connected to the device body 100, the first connector 220 and the connection port 110 of the connector 200 are connected and electrically connected.

[0057] For example, the first connector 220 can be a connector with an aviation plug structure or a universal bus connector (USB), etc., and there are no specific requirements.

[0058] The second end of the connecting cable 210 may be provided with a second connector 230, which is used to output the video signal of the device itself, so that users can view, test, and analyze it. When outputting the signal, the second connector 230 can be directly electrically connected to an external device or electrically connected through an adapter structure.

[0059] In this embodiment, there may be multiple second connectors 230, each corresponding to a different external device and electrically connected to the corresponding external device to form independent signal output channels. It should be noted that the external device may be a display, etc.

[0060] For example, the second connector 230 may be a High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI), a Digital Visual Interface (DVI), a Video Graphics Array (VGA), a Phase Alternate Line (PAL), a Serial Digital Interface (SDI), a DisplayPort (DP), etc.

[0061] The second end of the connecting cable 210 may also be provided with a third connector 240. The third connector 240 can be directly electrically connected to an external device, or the third connector 240 can be electrically connected to an external device through an adapter structure and output signals to show the operator the working status of the device. The third connector 240 can also be electrically connected to an external device to input signals for controlling and debugging the operation of the device 100.

[0062] For example, external devices may be control platforms, computer hosts, mice, keyboards, power supplies, external light sources, external alarm systems, etc.

[0063] It is understood that there can be multiple third connectors 240 at the second end of the connecting line 210. Multiple third connectors 240 can be electrically connected to different external devices to realize input and / or output functions of the device body 100 through different external devices.

[0064] Optionally, the third connector 240 can be a general USB connector, aviation plug, etc., and this application embodiment does not specifically limit it.

[0065] According to the connector 200 provided in the embodiments of this application, the industrial camera is connected to different external input devices and / or output devices through the second connector 230 and the third connector 240 of the connector 200, which improves the integration of the connector 200 and makes the industrial camera compatible with and adaptable to various external devices through the connector 200, which helps to improve the applicability of the industrial camera. In addition, during the factory debugging process of the device body 100, the connector 200 facilitates the connection between the device body 100 and the debugging equipment, reducing the debugging difficulty and debugging cost of the industrial camera.

[0066] It should be noted that the connecting line 210 in this embodiment is made of multiple strands of wire twisted together, and the second connector 230 and the third connector 240 are electrically connected to the first connector 220 through different wires. Furthermore, a high-speed communication channel can be established between the device body 100, the connector 200, and the external device, further improving the signal transmission rate and stability. This communication channel can be adapted to different standard communication protocols.

[0067] Optionally, the industrial camera and connector 200 can be sold and used as a complete set at the time of manufacture. Connector 200 can also be sold or used separately as an independent accessory.

[0068] In one alternative implementation, the first connector 220 and the connection port 110 are structurally adapted, and the first connector 220 and the connection port 110 are plugged in and electrically connected.

[0069] In conjunction with the foregoing embodiments, when the connection port 110 is an aviation socket or plug, the first connector 220 is a correspondingly compatible aviation plug or socket. When the connection port 110 is a USB port, the first connector 220 is a correspondingly compatible USB connector. This compatible design between the first connector 220 and the connection port 110 ensures a tight connection and provides a stable electrical connection, reducing the risk of poor contact between them and thus improving the reliability of the industrial camera. Furthermore, the insertion and connection process between the first connector 220 and the connection port 110 is simple and quick, allowing users to easily install and remove them, improving the usability of the connector 200 and reducing maintenance costs.

[0070] It is easy to understand that when connection port 110 is a USB port, there are various standard USB port structures. As an optional implementation, connection port 110 includes a Universal Serial Bus Type-C port. It should be noted that a Universal Serial Bus Type-C port is also known as a Type-C port.

[0071] Correspondingly, the first connector 220 is also a Type-C port. The smaller structure of the Type-C port helps reduce the space occupied by the device body 100, further facilitating the miniaturization of the device body 100 and reducing the cost of the industrial camera. Simultaneously, the first connector 220 and the connection port 110 achieve both positive and negative insertion connections through the Type-C port structure, enabling simple and convenient connection between the connector 200 and the device body 100. This reduces the difficulty of connection between the connector 200 and the device body 100, facilitating operation by users and testers and improving the product's user experience.

[0072] To improve the connection stability and electrical reliability of the connector 200 and the industrial camera device body 100 via the first connector 220 and the connection port 110, this embodiment of the application may provide a guide 221 on the first connector 220 to enhance the connection stability between the first connector 220 and the connection port 110.

[0073] As one alternative implementation, see Figures 3-5 The connector 200 includes a guide 221, which is disposed on the side of the first connector 220; the device body 100 has a connection hole 111, the position of which corresponds to the position of the guide 221; when the first connector 220 and the connection port 110 are inserted, at least part of the guide 221 is located in the connection hole 111.

[0074] In this embodiment, the guide member 221 is located at any position on the side of the first connector 220, and the guide member 221 can protrude relative to the first connector 220 along the insertion direction of the first connector 220. The side of the connection port 110 of the device body 100 has a connection hole 111, and the position of the connection hole 111 corresponds to the position of the guide member 221. In this way, after the first connector 220 and the connection port 110 are inserted, the guide member 221 and the connection hole 111 form a hole-axis connection structure, which can ensure that the guide member 221 and the connection hole 111 are accurately connected.

[0075] It should be noted that the cross-sectional profile of the guide 221 and the cross-sectional profile of the connecting hole 111 are matched. Through the mutual cooperation of the structure and position of the guide 221 and the connecting hole 111, the guide 221 forms a connecting force within the connecting hole 111, thereby ensuring a stable connection between the first connector 220 and the device body 100 in both moving and / or stationary scenarios. Simultaneously, the guide 221 provides a foolproof mechanism, preventing user mis-insertion and reducing the probability of damage to the connector 200 and the industrial camera.

[0076] In this embodiment of the application, the guide member 221 can be fixedly connected to the side of the first connector 220, or it can be movably connected to the side of the first connector 220.

[0077] When the guide member 221 and the first connector 220 are movably connected, as one optional embodiment, the first connector 220 has a guide hole 222, and the guide member 221 passes through the guide hole 222. The guide hole 222 extends through opposite sides of the first connector 220 along the insertion direction, forming a through-hole structure. The guide hole 222 has a simple structure, facilitating the design and production of the connector 200.

[0078] It should be noted that the guide hole 222 and the guide member 221 are structurally compatible. The guide hole 222 provides guidance and fixed support for the installation of the guide member 221, and the connection process between the guide member 221 and the first connector 220 through the guide hole 222 is smoother.

[0079] As an optional implementation, the guide 221 has an external thread 2211, and the connecting hole 111 is a threaded hole. The guide 221 and the connecting hole 111 are connected by the external thread 2211 and the threaded hole. In this embodiment, the guide 221 and the connecting hole 111 are relatively fixedly connected by a threaded connection, which further improves the connection stability between the connector 200 and the device body 100, and ensures the electrical connection stability and reliability during operation after the connector 200 and the industrial camera device body 100 are connected.

[0080] It should be noted that the peripheral sidewall of the guide member 221 may be partially or entirely provided with external threads 2211. The wall of the guide hole 222 may be a smooth hole or a threaded hole with internal threads. Optionally, the internal threads in the guide hole 222 may be distributed on a portion of the guide hole 222, or the entire hole wall may be provided with internal threads. This application embodiment does not make specific requirements in this regard.

[0081] Optionally, the second connector 230 can be used to electrically connect with the first external device; the first external device has a first connection terminal, the second connector 230 and the first connection terminal are structurally adapted, and the second connector 230 and the first connection terminal are plugged in and electrically connected.

[0082] In conjunction with the foregoing embodiments, the first external device is a display or the like. The first connection terminal is one of an HDMI port, DVI port, VGA port, PAL port, SDI port, or DP port, and the second connector 230 is one of the corresponding compatible HDMI port, DVI port, VGA port, PAL port, SDI port, or DP port. This structural adaptation design of the second connector 230 and the first connection terminal ensures a tight connection between them, providing a stable electrical connection and reducing the risk of poor contact between them, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the industrial camera's operation. Furthermore, the insertion and connection process of the second connector 230 and the first connection terminal is simple and quick, allowing users to easily install and remove them, improving the usability of the connector 200 and reducing maintenance costs.

[0083] It should be noted that when there are multiple second connectors 230, the multiple second connectors 230 may include at least one of the following video ports: HDMI port, DVI port, VGA port, PAL port, SDI port, DP port, etc.

[0084] For example, when there are two second connectors 230, both second connectors 230 can be HDMI ports, or one of the two second connectors 230 can be an HDMI port and the other can be a video port such as a DVI port, VGA port, PAL port, SDI port, DP port, etc.

[0085] When there are three second connectors 230, all three second connectors 230 can be VGA ports, or the three second connectors 230 can be HDMI ports, VGA ports, and DVI ports respectively.

[0086] This application embodiment does not impose a specific limit on the number of second connectors 230, and when there are multiple second connectors 230, it does not impose specific requirements on the specific port form adopted by the second connectors 230.

[0087] Optionally, the third connector 240 is used for electrical connection with a second external device; the second external device has a second connection terminal; the third connector 240 and the second connection terminal are structurally adapted and plugged in to enable electrical conduction between the third connector 240 and the second external device. This adaptive design of the third connector 240 and the second connection terminal ensures a tight connection and provides a stable electrical connection, reducing the risk of poor contact between the third connector 240 and the second connection terminal, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the industrial camera's operation. Simultaneously, the plugging and unplugging process of the third connector 240 and the second connection terminal is simple and quick, allowing users to easily install and remove them, improving the usability of the connector 200 and reducing maintenance costs.

[0088] In conjunction with the foregoing embodiments, the second external device may be: a control platform, a computer host, a mouse, a keyboard, a power supply, an external light source, an external alarm system, a storage device, etc.

[0089] For example, the keyboard has a second connection terminal, typically a USB-A port, and correspondingly, the third connector 240 is a USB-A port adapted to the USB-A port. The mouse has a second connection terminal, typically a USB-A port, and correspondingly, the third connector 240 is a USB-A port adapted to the USB-A port.

[0090] For example, the storage device can be a USB flash drive, the second connection terminal of which is a USB-A port, and correspondingly, the third connector 240 is a USB-A port adapted to the USB-A port.

[0091] It should be noted that there can be multiple third connectors 240. In this case, all third connectors 240 can be USB-A ports, or combinations of USB-A ports and Type-C ports.

[0092] For example, external devices may also include expansion devices, such as docking stations. Common docking stations have USB-A ports and / or Type-C ports, with a third connection terminal being a USB-A port and / or Type-C port adapted to the docking station.

[0093] Optionally, the industrial camera also includes a sealing component (not shown in the figure), which is adapted to the connection port 110 and is detachably connected to the connection port 110. This allows the connection port 110 to be sealed, preventing external dust and moisture from entering the device body 100 through the connection port 110. This prevents external dust and moisture from adversely affecting the operation of the device body 100, extends the service life of the device body 100, reduces maintenance costs and time, and improves the user experience.

[0094] Optionally, the sealing element can be a rubber plug, which is compatible with connection port 110. It should be noted that by using the sealing element, the protection level at connection port 110 can reach IP67.

[0095] In one alternative implementation, see Figure 3 The connector 200 includes a shield 250, which is respectively disposed at the ends of the connecting wire 210 facing the first connector 220 and the second connector 230; and / or, the shield 250 is respectively disposed at the ends of the connecting wire 210 facing the first connector 220 and the third connector 240. Thus, by providing the shield 250, the connector 200 can suppress high-frequency electromagnetic interference, reduce electromagnetic wave interference to the signal, and ensure the quality of signal transmission.

[0096] Optionally, the shielding element 250 may be a ferrite magnetic ring. The shielding element 250 may be fixedly fitted onto the outside of the connecting wire 210.

[0097] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the shielding element 250 may be provided only at the ends of the connecting line 210 facing the first connector 220 and the second connector 230, or it may be provided only at the ends of the connecting line 210 facing the first connector 220 and the third connector 240. Alternatively, shielding elements 250 may be provided at each end of the connecting line 210 facing the first connector 220, the second connector 230, and the third connector 240.

[0098] In one specific implementation, combined with Figures 3-7 The first connector 220 of connector 200 is a Type-C port; there is one second connector 230, which is an HDMI port; and there is one third connector 240, which is a USB-A port.

[0099] The connector 200 provided in this embodiment includes a connecting line 210, a first connector 220, at least one second connector 230, and at least one third connector 240. The first connector 220 is electrically connected to a first end of the connecting line 210 and is configured to be electrically connected to a connection port 110. The second connector 230 and the third connector 240 are both located at the second end of the connecting line 210 and are electrically connected to the first connector 220 via the connecting line 210. The second connector 230 is configured to output a signal, and the third connector 240 is configured to input and / or output a signal. This configuration improves the integration of the connector 200, enabling industrial cameras to connect to and be compatible with different external devices, thus enhancing the applicability of industrial cameras, reducing the difficulty of signal conversion for industrial cameras, and improving the user experience.

[0100] Alternatively, this application embodiment may also provide an industrial camera, which includes a device body 100 and a connector 200. The device body 100 has a connection port 110. The connector 200 and the device body 100 are detachably connected, and when the connector 200 is connected to the device body 100, the first connector 220 of the connector 200 and the connection port 110 are connected and electrically conductive.

[0101] It should be noted that the structure and function of the connector 200 and the device body 100 have been described in the foregoing embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0102] The industrial camera in this embodiment includes the connector 200 described in the previous embodiment. Through this connector 200, the industrial camera can be compatible with and adapted to various external devices, so as to facilitate signal conversion of the industrial camera and improve the user experience.

[0103] It should be noted that the terms "one embodiment," "embodiment," "exemplary embodiment," "some embodiments," etc., mentioned in the specification indicate that the described embodiment may include a specific feature, structure, or characteristic, but not every embodiment necessarily includes that specific feature, structure, or characteristic. Furthermore, such phrases do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. Moreover, when a specific feature, structure, or characteristic is described in connection with an embodiment, implementing such a feature, structure, or characteristic in conjunction with other embodiments, whether explicitly described or not, is within the knowledge scope of those skilled in the art.

[0104] Generally speaking, terms should be understood at least in part by their use in context. For example, at least in part by context, the term "one or more" as used in the text can be used to describe any feature, structure, or characteristic of the singular meaning, or a combination of features, structures, or characteristics of the plural meaning. Similarly, at least in part by context, terms such as "a" or "the" can also be understood to convey either singular or plural usage.

[0105] It should be readily understood that the terms “on,” “above,” and “on top of” in this application should be interpreted in the broadest possible sense, such that “on” means not only “directly on something” but also “on something” with an intermediate feature or layer therebetween, and that “above” or “on top of” means not only “on something” but also “on something” without an intermediate feature or layer therebetween (i.e., directly on something).

[0106] Furthermore, for ease of explanation, spatially relative terms such as "below," "below," "under," "above," and "above" may be used to describe the relationship of one element or feature relative to other elements or features as shown in the figures. Spatially relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation other than those shown in the figures. The device may have other orientations (rotated 90° or in other orientations), and the spatially relative descriptive terms used herein may be interpreted accordingly.
