[0002] In existing technologies, recording product tests inside an incubator requires setting up a bracket on the ground in front of the incubator, mounting a camera on the bracket, and placing a shielding curtain behind the camera to prevent leakage of test results. It also requires power and signal transmission cables for the camera, and the camera is easily bumped, affecting the recording quality. When the incubator door needs to be opened, the bracket holding the camera must be moved first before the door can be opened, which is cumbersome and the bracket takes up a lot of space. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a camera module and an incubator, wherein the camera module can be easily adjusted in position without affecting the opening and closing of the incubator door.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a camera module, which includes:
[0005] Camera module;
[0006] A screen curtain, installed on the transparent incubator door, can switch between a folded and an unfolded state to cover the incubator door. In the unfolded state, the screen curtain presses the camera module firmly against the incubator door; in the folded state, the screen curtain folds down to the top of the incubator door, creating a storage space.
[0007] Multiple adjustment components are slidably mounted on the side of the shielding curtain facing the incubator door. The multiple adjustment components enclose an installation space for inserting the camera module, and the multiple adjustment components are stored in the storage space.
[0008] In an embodiment of this utility model, a first magnetic element and a sliding groove are respectively provided on opposite sides of the adjusting member, and the first magnetic element and the sliding groove of any adjacent adjusting member can be positioned and connected.
[0009] In an embodiment of this utility model, a second magnetic component is also provided on the camera module, and both the first and second magnetic components are made of magnetic material.
[0010] In an embodiment of this utility model, the adjusting member is also provided with a weight reduction hole.
[0011] In an embodiment of this utility model, the camera module includes a camera and a winding device. The camera is mounted on the winding device and is connected to a signal line. The winding device is used to collect the signal line.
[0012] In an embodiment of this utility model, the winding device includes a connector and two parallel and spaced mounting plates. The connector is sandwiched between the two mounting plates and connected to both mounting plates.

[0035] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.
[0036] The camera module and the incubator according to this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0037] like Figure 1 As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, a camera module is proposed, comprising a camera module 1, a screen curtain 2, and multiple adjusting components 3. The screen curtain 2 is mounted on a transparent incubator door to block the incubator door. The multiple adjusting components 3 are slidably mounted on the screen curtain 2, and the multiple adjusting components 3 enclose an installation space for inserting the camera module 1. The screen curtain 2 can switch between a folded state and an unfolded state. The camera module 1 is located on the side of the screen curtain 2 facing the incubator. When the screen curtain 2 is in the unfolded state, it presses the camera module 1 against the incubator door. When the screen curtain 2 is in the folded state, it is folded and stored at the top of the incubator door. Preferably, the adjusting components 3 in this utility model are rectangular, which facilitates adjustment and has a compact structure.
[0038] In the camera module of this utility model, a mounting groove is provided on the side of the shielding curtain 2 facing the transparent incubator door. Multiple adjustable parts 3 of the same size are set in the mounting groove and slide on the shielding curtain 2 for adjustment. The multiple adjustable parts 3 enclose and form an installation space for the camera module 1 to be inserted. The installation space can be adjusted to different positions by changing the position of the adjustable parts 3 according to actual needs. If it is necessary to keep the product being tested in the incubator confidential and record the video, it is necessary to block the external view through the shielding curtain 2 to prevent unrelated personnel from seeing the product being tested through the glass window. The shielding curtain 2 can switch between a folded state and an unfolded state. The camera module 1 is provided on the side of the shielding curtain 2 facing the incubator, which can monitor the product in the incubator. When the shielding curtain is in the unfolded state, it presses the camera module against the incubator door, eliminating the need for a separate bracket to support the camera module as in the prior art, saving floor space and not interfering with the opening and closing of the incubator door. The folded curtain 2 is folded and stored at the top of the incubator door and fixed by hooks or other structures. The folded curtain 2 has a compact structure and occupies little space.
[0039] like Figure 2 As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, the camera module 1 includes a camera 11 and a winding device 12. The camera 11 is mounted on the winding device 12 and is connected to a signal line 13. The winding device 12 is used to collect the signal line 13. Multiple strands of the signal line 13 are wound on the winding device 12. According to the position adjustment requirements of the camera 11, the signal line 13 is pulled out or retracted from the winding device 12, so that the camera 11 can be adjusted to different positions to meet the shooting needs in various situations, improve the mobility of the camera module 1, and facilitate the convenient adjustment of the camera module 1.
[0040] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, the winding device 12 includes a connector and two parallel, spaced-apart mounting plates 121. The connector is sandwiched between the two mounting plates 121 and connected to both mounting plates 121. A winding gap 15 is formed between the opposing surfaces of the two mounting plates 121 and the connector for winding the signal line 13. The signal line 13 is connected to the camera 11 and wound around the winding gap 15. The position of the signal line 13 is restricted by the spaced-apart mounting plates 121, which increases the capacity of the signal line 13 and allows the camera module 1 to have a wider adjustment range.
[0041] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, the winding device 12 has a mounting hole through which the connector and two mounting plates 121 pass. A camera 11 is detachably connected to the mounting hole. The camera 11 is detachably installed in the mounting hole, which facilitates disassembly and replacement when the camera 11 malfunctions, thereby reducing maintenance costs.
[0042] like Figure 1 As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, the signal line 13 includes a fixing part and a telescopic part. The fixing part is fixed to the curtain 2, and the telescopic part is wrapped around the outer peripheral wall of the connector. The fixing part of the signal line 13 is arranged along the edge of the curtain 2. By fixing part of the signal line 13 to the curtain 2, the signal line 13 is prevented from scattering when the curtain 2 is folded, which would affect the folding of the curtain 2. The telescopic part is wrapped around the outer peripheral wall of the connector, which collects the excessively long signal line 13 on the connector, occupying little space while facilitating the extension and retraction adjustment of the signal line 13.
[0043] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment of the invention, the adjusting member 3 is provided with a first magnetic element 31 and a sliding groove 32 on opposite sides, and the first magnetic element 31 and the sliding groove 32 of any adjacent adjusting member 3 can be positioned and connected. The first magnetic element 31 is provided on the left side of the adjusting member 3 along its width direction, and the sliding groove 32 is provided on the right side. The width and depth of the sliding groove 32 are adapted to the first magnetic element 31 to improve the stability of the insertion and engagement between the adjusting members 3. The first magnetic element 31 is arranged circumferentially on the adjusting member 3, and the sliding groove 32 allows the first magnetic element 31 to be inserted and engaged, facilitating the sliding engagement between the adjusting members 3, improving the adjustment efficiency of the adjusting members 3, and enabling convenient adjustment of the position of the camera 11.
[0044] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, the camera module 1 is further provided with a second magnetic component 14. Both the first magnetic component 31 and the second magnetic component 14 are made of magnetic material. The first magnetic component 31 is provided above and to the left of the adjusting component 3, and the second magnetic component 14 is provided on the mounting plate 121 of the winding device 12, located on the right and lower side of the mounting plate 121. When the curtain 2 switches from a folded state to an unfolded state, the position of the installation space is first determined by adjusting the adjusting component 3, and then the winding device 12 is placed into the installation space. At this time, the first magnetic component 31 and the second magnetic component 14 are attracted and fixed, so that the mounting plate 121 can be stably attracted to the adjusting component 3 after being placed into the installation space, preventing the mounting plate 121 from slipping off the installation space and improving the stability of the camera module 1 installation. The first magnetic component 31 and the second magnetic component 14 are flexible magnetic strips as in the prior art. They are flexible and magnetic materials. On the one hand, the flexibility of the first magnetic component 31 and the second magnetic component 14 makes them easy to fold and store. On the other hand, the magnetism of the first magnetic component 31 and the second magnetic component 14 can be used to attract and fix the first magnetic component 31 and the second magnetic component 14 together.
[0045] like Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment of the present invention, the adjusting member 3 is provided with weight-reducing holes 33, and the top and bottom of the adjusting member 3 are provided with sliding grooves 32 along the height direction. A first magnetic member 31 is inserted into the sliding groove 32 at the top of the adjusting member 3. Multiple weight-reducing holes 33 are provided at intervals between the sliding grooves 32 at the top and bottom, and the multiple weight-reducing holes 33 are equally spaced along the height direction. The adjusting member 3 is also provided with multiple stiffeners, and stiffeners are provided between any adjacent weight-reducing holes 33 and between weight-reducing holes 33 and sliding grooves 32. The provision of stiffeners improves the structural stability of the adjusting member 3, and the provision of weight-reducing holes 33 can effectively reduce the self-weight of the adjusting member 3, reduce the material consumption of the adjusting member 3, and reduce the production cost of the adjusting member 3.
[0046] In this embodiment of the invention, both the adjusting member 3 and the winding device 12 are made of flexible material. The flexible material of the adjusting member 3 and the winding device 12 facilitates folding and storage. When the curtain 2 switches from an unfolded state to a folded state, the adjusting member 3 and the winding device 12 on the curtain 2 fold together. The adjusted member 3 occupies a small volume after folding, effectively reducing the folded storage volume of the camera module. Furthermore, to facilitate folding, a small camera can be used to avoid obstructing the folding of the camera module.
[0047] In an embodiment of this utility model, a temperature chamber is also proposed, including the camera module as described above. Since the temperature chamber adopts all embodiments of the camera module, it also has all the beneficial effects brought by the camera module, which will not be described in detail here.
