Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of industrial camera technology, specifically a high-temperature resistant protective cover for industrial 3D cameras. Background Technology

[0002] Industrial 3D cameras, relying on their graphical machine vision system and AI deep learning system, can act as the "eyes" of robots, guiding industrial robots to complete a series of precise tasks. Their applications include high-precision positioning and assembly, goods sorting, industrial inspection / measurement, gluing, unordered workpiece loading and unloading, packaging, unpacking and palletizing, and other industries and fields.

[0003] As industrial camera technology becomes more sophisticated and its applications become more widespread, when industrial cameras are used in high-temperature environments, the high-temperature heat radiation will cause the camera motherboard temperature to rise. If heat dissipation is not timely, the motherboard will overheat and crash, or the lens will overheat and risk bursting. This, to some extent, hinders its application in high-temperature environments and thus increases operating costs.

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, existing technologies employ methods such as adding cooling fans and using heat sinks to reduce internal temperatures. While these methods can alleviate the temperature rise problem to some extent, they still fall short of achieving ideal heat dissipation for cameras operating in high-temperature environments for extended periods. Furthermore, adding external cooling devices may require more space, hindering compact design requirements, and such methods are not particularly effective in preventing camera lens overheating.

[0005] In view of the above problems, this utility model designs a high-temperature resistant protective cover for industrial 3D cameras. By reflecting the high-temperature heat radiation from the environment, blocking the heat source, and cooling with flowing gas, it effectively isolates the impact of external high temperature on industrial 3D cameras, avoids the shutdown caused by overheating of the internal motherboard, and ensures that the camera lens is not affected by high temperature, thereby maintaining good image quality. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a high-temperature resistant protective cover for industrial 3D cameras. By reflecting ambient high-temperature heat radiation, blocking heat sources, and cooling with flowing gas, it effectively isolates the impact of external high temperatures on industrial 3D cameras, avoids overheating of the internal motherboard leading to shutdown, and ensures that the camera lens is not affected by high temperatures, thereby maintaining good image quality.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a high-temperature resistant protective cover for an industrial 3D camera, including a high-temperature resistant protective cover, a ventilation system, and a ventilation pipe. The high-temperature resistant protective cover is provided with multiple flame-retardant rubber plates, which are arranged around the lens of the 3D camera. A ventilation pipe is provided in the reserved gap at the top of the high-temperature resistant protective cover. The ventilation pipe is connected to the ventilation system and is located near the heat dissipation holes of the 3D camera's motherboard. The side of the high-temperature resistant protective cover is connected to the body of the high-temperature resistant protective cover via Velcro.

[0008] The base fabric of the high-temperature resistant protective cover is aramid, pre-oxidized yarn, flame-retardant cotton, or flame-retardant viscose base fabric.

[0009] The high-temperature protective cover is coated with a metallic aluminum or silver silicone film.

[0010] The high-temperature resistant protective cover is shaped to fit the shape of the 3D camera.

[0011] The high-temperature resistant protective cover is equipped with straps around its perimeter for securing it.

[0012] The flame-retardant rubber sheet is made of natural chloroprene rubber, Hypalon rubber, or high-performance silicone rubber.

[0013] The ventilation system includes an air compressor, a pressure reducing valve, and a water / oil filter valve.

[0014] The vent pipe is made of flexible PVC material.

[0015] The Velcro straps are located on the sides and around the sides of the high-temperature protective cover.

[0016] The hook and loop fasteners are high-temperature resistant.

[0017] Compared with existing technologies, this invention effectively reduces the impact of high temperatures on the internal electronic components of industrial 3D cameras, significantly improving the camera's reliability and lifespan. Effective lens protection ensures high-quality imaging, meeting the high precision requirements of industrial applications. Furthermore, its unique design makes the device easy to install and maintain, adaptable to various complex working environments, and enhances the system's flexibility and economy.

[0018] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of this utility model.

[0019] 1 is a high-temperature resistant protective cover, 2 is a ventilation system, 3 is a ventilation pipe, 1-1 is a flame-retardant rubber sheet, 1-2 is Velcro, and 1-3 is a side panel. Detailed Implementation

[0020] The present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] See Figure 1This utility model provides a high-temperature resistant protective cover for an industrial 3D camera, including a high-temperature resistant protective cover 1, a ventilation system 2, and a ventilation pipe 3. The high-temperature resistant protective cover 1 is equipped with multiple flame-retardant rubber plates 1-1, which are positioned around the lens of the 3D camera. These flame-retardant rubber plates 1-1 not only effectively insulate against heat but also fix and support the lens, ensuring shooting stability. A ventilation pipe 3 is installed in a pre-reserved gap at the top of the high-temperature resistant protective cover 1. The ventilation pipe 3 is connected to the ventilation system 2 and is positioned near the heat dissipation holes of the 3D camera's motherboard. The ventilation pipe 3 further enhances heat dissipation through forced ventilation. The sides 1-3 of the high-temperature resistant protective cover 1 are connected to the main body of the high-temperature resistant protective cover 1 via Velcro 1-2.

[0022] The base fabric of the high-temperature resistant protective cover 1 is aramid, pre-oxidized fiber, flame-retardant cotton, or flame-retardant adhesive base fabric, and the coating is aluminum or silver silicone coating. The above materials can maintain stable performance in the range of -40°C to 300°C.

[0023] Therefore, the high-temperature protective cover 1 is made of imported high-temperature resistant coating material, which has excellent heat insulation performance and can effectively reflect external heat radiation and reduce heat transfer to the camera interior.

[0024] The high-temperature resistant protective cover 1 is shaped to fit the shape of the 3D camera, ensuring minimal space occupation and contributing to the relative stability between the protective cover and the camera.

[0025] The high-temperature resistant protective cover 1 is provided with straps around its perimeter for fixing the high-temperature resistant protective cover 1. The straps are located on the left and right sides of the protective cover and are wrapped around the camera and then fixed with high-temperature resistant Velcro.

[0026] Flame-retardant rubber sheet 1-1 is made of natural neoprene rubber, Hypalon rubber, or high-performance silicone rubber, which has a wide temperature range and excellent flame-retardant properties.

[0027] Ventilation system 2 includes an air compressor, a pressure reducing valve, and a water-oil filter valve. The air compressor can operate continuously for at least 72 hours without failure, with an air pressure between 1 MPa and 5 MPa. The pressure reducing valve is used to control the transmitted air pressure, with an adjustment range between 0.1 MPa and 2 MPa, to avoid poor heat dissipation due to excessively low air pressure and to prevent the camera from operating due to excessively high air pressure. The water-oil filter valve ensures the cleanliness of the transmitted air and prevents contamination of the camera lens.

[0028] Ventilation pipe 3 is made of flexible PVC material. Ventilation pipe 3 is also covered with a layer of high temperature resistant flexible material, which gives ventilation pipe 3 a certain degree of high temperature resistance, and makes it easy to install and durable.

[0029] Velcro 1-2 is installed on the sides 1-3 and around the sides of the high-temperature protective cover 1.

[0030] Hook and loop fasteners 1-2 are high temperature resistant hook and loop fasteners.

[0031] Working principle:

[0032] This invention requires minimal adjustment during use:

[0033] When industrial 3D cameras are used in high-temperature environments, the high-temperature protective cover 1 first reflects a large amount of heat radiation through its Teflon coating, preventing heat from being conducted inward. Simultaneously, the flame-retardant rubber sheet 1-1 forms a barrier around the camera lens, protecting it from direct heat sources and providing necessary support to ensure image acquisition quality. The introduction of the vent 3 allows cool air to be directly blown to the heat dissipation holes on the camera's mainboard, accelerating heat dissipation and achieving efficient overall heat dissipation.

[0034] In addition, this utility model also provides an optional method: a layer of thermally conductive gel can be added inside the high-temperature protective cover 1. The gel can be evenly distributed between the camera shell and the high-temperature protective cover 1, which can improve heat dissipation efficiency without increasing the volume.

[0035] The operating steps and precautions for this utility model are as follows:

[0036] S1: First, cut the flame-retardant rubber sheet 1-1 to a size that fits the circumference of the camera lens, ensuring a tight fit;

[0037] S2: Attach the cut flame-retardant rubber sheet 1-1 around the camera lens, making sure the seam is flat and free of air bubbles.

[0038] S3: Measure the camera's external dimensions and manufacture a high-temperature resistant protective cover of the corresponding specifications;

[0039] S4: Carefully place the protective cover over the camera, ensuring a tight fit, and then secure it by wrapping it circumferentially with the Velcro on both sides;

[0040] S5: Insert the vent pipe 3 through the hole at the top of the protective cover, and bring its end close to the heat dissipation hole of the motherboard. Start the ventilation system 2 to force ventilation and cool down the heat dissipation hole of the camera motherboard. It should be noted that since the high temperature protective cover 1 and the camera are not completely sealed, the airflow formed inside the high temperature protective cover 1 after the motherboard is cooled by the vent pipe 3 can still be discharged through the gap of the high temperature protective cover 1.

[0041] S6: Check that all parts are secure and confirm that there is no looseness before putting them into use;

[0042] S7: Regularly check the protective cover for damage or signs of aging, and replace it with a new part if necessary.

[0043] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model, intended only to aid in understanding the method and core concept of this application. The scope of protection of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments; all technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0044] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0045] This invention addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies where industrial cameras operate in high-temperature environments for extended periods. Simple physical heat dissipation methods are insufficient to handle high-intensity heat radiation, and existing protective measures fail to adequately consider the camera's optical performance requirements, potentially leading to decreased image quality or damage. By using a high-temperature resistant protective cover to reflect ambient heat radiation, block heat sources, and cool the camera with flowing gas, this invention effectively isolates the impact of external high temperatures on the industrial 3D camera, preventing overheating of the internal motherboard and subsequent shutdown. Simultaneously, it ensures the camera lens is unaffected by high temperatures, thus maintaining excellent image quality.
