Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of image acquisition equipment for swimming venue facilities, and in particular to a camera adjustment device based on an infinity pool. Background Technology

[0002] With social progress and technological development, infinity pools are becoming increasingly popular. However, most infinity pools only provide a single swimming function and are not equipped with image acquisition equipment. As a result, they cannot obtain data information on swimmers during their exercise, which makes it difficult to meet swimmers' actual needs. Few infinity pools are equipped with image acquisition equipment, and those that are are all fixed, which not only takes up extra space but also makes the equipment prone to damage.

[0003] 1. Common infinity pools are not equipped with fixed image acquisition equipment, have limited functionality, and cannot meet additional needs such as swimming instruction, online competitions, and information recording.

[0004] 2. Existing infinity pools are equipped with fixed image acquisition devices, which are prone to damage under conditions of high traffic and frequent use.

[0005] 3. Existing infinity pools are equipped with fixed image acquisition equipment, which takes up extra space and diminishes the advantage of infinity pools having a smaller space requirement. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the above problems, this utility model provides a camera adjustment device based on an infinity pool, which enables the installation of an adjustable camera on the pool to capture images of swimming activities; at the same time, the camera can be stored away without taking up space, and also reduces the risk of equipment damage.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0008] A camera adjustment device based on an infinity pool includes a camera, which is fixedly connected to an electrically controlled rotating seat located on one side of the pool body via a connecting arm. A control panel is provided on the pool body to control the connection of the electrically controlled rotating seat. The electrically controlled rotating seat can use the connecting arm to position the camera directly above the pool body or move the camera to one side of the pool body.

[0009] As a further improvement to the above solution, the swimming pool body is equipped with a PLC module and a GPU module. The control panel is connected to the control electric rotating base one through the PLC module, and the camera is connected to the PLC module through the GPU module.

[0010] As a further improvement to the above solution, a variable frequency water pump is installed in the pool body, and the control panel is connected to and controls the variable frequency water pump through a PLC module.

[0011] As a further improvement to the above solution, a cavity for storing the camera and connecting arm is provided on one side of the pool body, and a pool cover is provided above the cavity, with a groove for the connecting arm to pass through on the side of the pool cover.

[0012] As a further improvement to the above solution, the two ends of the pool cover are rotatably connected to the pool body through electrically controlled rotating seat two and electrically controlled rotating seat three, respectively, and the control panel is connected to electrically controlled rotating seat two and electrically controlled rotating seat three through a PLC module.

[0013] As a further improvement to the above solution, the connecting arm is a multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] 1. Adjustable cameras can be installed on the swimming pool, using image acquisition equipment to obtain data information on swimmers during their movements, thus meeting the actual needs of swimmers.

[0016] 2. Using a multi-free robotic arm as the connecting arm, the camera can be freely extended and retracted. When the pool is not in use, the camera is retracted into the pool body, reducing the equipment damage rate; automatic control can reduce manual intervention and operation time, reducing labor costs and errors; it can collect more comprehensive motion data of swimmers while occupying less space.

[0023] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution, the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the embodiments. The description in this part is only exemplary and explanatory, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention in any way.

[0024] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the specific solution of this embodiment is as follows: a camera adjustment device based on an infinity pool, including a camera 1. The camera 1 is fixedly connected to an electrically controlled rotating seat 3 set on one side of the pool body 7 via a connecting arm 2. A control panel 12 is provided on the pool body 7 to control the connection of the electrically controlled rotating seat 3. The electrically controlled rotating seat 3 can set the camera 1 directly above the pool body 7 or move the camera 1 to one side of the pool body 7 via the connecting arm 2.

[0025] like Figures 1-5 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the pool body 7 is equipped with a PLC module 5 and a GPU module 6. The control panel 12 is connected to the control electric rotating seat 3 via the PLC module 5, and the camera 1 is connected to the PLC module 5 via the GPU module 6.

[0026] like Figures 1-5 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of the above, a variable frequency water pump 4 is installed in the pool body 7, and the control panel 12 is connected to and controls the variable frequency water pump 4 through a PLC module 5.

[0027] like Figures 1-5 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of the above, a cavity for housing the camera 1 and the connecting arm 2 is provided on one side of the pool body 7, and a pool cover plate 8 is provided above the cavity. A groove 9 for the connecting arm 2 is provided on the side of the pool cover plate 8.

[0028] like Figures 1-5 As shown, in the preferred embodiment above, the two ends of the pool cover plate 8 are rotatably connected to the pool body 7 via electrically controlled rotating seat 2 10 and electrically controlled rotating seat 3 11, respectively, and the control panel 12 is connected to electrically controlled rotating seat 2 10 and electrically controlled rotating seat 3 11 via PLC module 5.

[0029] like Figures 1-5 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of the above, the connecting arm 2 is a multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm.

[0030] The specific working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0031] The PLC module 5 controls the electrically controlled rotating seat 3, thereby automatically controlling the extension and retraction of the connecting arm 2 and the camera 1. The camera 1 captures the swimmer's movement in real time. The GPU module 6 analyzes the swimmer's trajectory and performs image recognition. The infinity pool is started via the control panel 12. Upon receiving the signal, the PLC module controls the variable frequency water pump 4 to start, simultaneously controlling the electrically controlled rotating seats 10 and 11 to rotate counterclockwise, opening the pool cover 8. Once the pool cover 8 is open, the electrically controlled rotating seats 10 and 11 stop rotating. The PLC then controls the electrically controlled rotating seat 3 to rotate clockwise, moving the connecting arm 2 upwards out of the pool. When the camera 1 is directly above the pool, the electrically controlled rotating seat 3 stops rotating. The PLC module then controls the electrically controlled rotating seats 10 and 11 to rotate clockwise, closing the pool cover 8. The camera 1 continues to capture the swimmer's movement in real time. The system collects more comprehensive motion data from swimmers and uses GPU module 6 to identify their motion status for image recognition. When the infinity pool is closed via control panel 12, the PLC module receives a signal and controls the variable frequency water pump 4 to stop operating. Simultaneously, PLC module 5 controls the electric rotating seats 10 and 3 to rotate counterclockwise, opening the pool cover 8. Then, it controls electric rotating seat 3 to rotate counterclockwise, retracting the robotic arm. When camera 1 is placed inside the pool body 7, electric rotating seat 3 stops rotating, and PLC module 5 controls electric rotating seats 10 and 3 to rotate clockwise, closing the pool cover 8 to reduce equipment damage.
