Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a camera device for photographing the front and back of a product, belonging to the field of mechanical automation. Background Technology
[0002] In existing production processes, it is usually necessary to photograph both the front and back of a product to determine its finished product quality. During product recycling, some products require surface cleaning or disassembly, making photographing both the front and back even more crucial.
[0003] Existing camera setups typically require two cameras: one positioned directly above the product to capture its front view, and the other positioned below the product to capture its lower view after the robot or gripper picks it up. While this achieves the goal of capturing both the front and back of the product, it increases the cost of the cameras and makes them vulnerable to damage during production or disassembly, as they rely solely on the product and gripper.
[0004] In view of this, it is indeed necessary to improve the existing camera devices to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a camera device for shooting the front and back of a product. This camera device only requires one camera to complete the shooting of the front and back of the product, thus saving costs.
[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is:
[0007] A camera device for photographing the front and back of a product, located above a workbench, and for photographing the product on the workbench, includes:
[0008] A gripping component is positioned opposite the worktable and has at least two directions of movement. The gripping component moves toward the worktable along a first direction and grips a product on the worktable. The first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other. The gripping component is configured to be able to rotate from the first direction to the second direction.
[0009] A camera assembly is disposed beside the grasping assembly and has a camera module disposed along the first direction, the camera module being activatably pivotable to the camera assembly such that the camera module extends along the second direction;
[0010] When the gripping component grips the product on the worktable along the first direction and rotates from the first direction to the second direction, the camera module is activated and pivots to extend along the second direction, at which time the lens of the camera module is facing the product.
[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model, in the first direction, the worktable includes a first worktable and a second worktable that are independent of each other, the first worktable being directly opposite the gripping component, and the second worktable being located between the gripping component and the camera component.
[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model, the gripping component is configured to move along the second direction to a position opposite to the first worktable or the second worktable, and the camera component is configured to move along the second direction to a position opposite to the second worktable.
[0013] As a further improvement of this utility model, the product is located on the first workbench and can be moved from the first workbench to the second workbench after being grasped by the gripping component and moved along the first and second directions.
[0014] As a further improvement of this utility model, the camera device also includes a gantry frame, which allows the gripping assembly to move along the first direction and the second direction, and allows the camera assembly to move along the second direction.
[0015] As a further improvement of this utility model, the gripping component includes a first driving component at the top and a suction cup component at the bottom. The suction cup component is connected to the first driving component and can rotate back and forth between the first direction and the second direction under the drive of the first driving component.
[0016] As a further improvement of this utility model, in the first direction, the suction cup assembly includes an elastic element located at the top and a suction cup disposed towards the product. When the suction cup assembly moves along the first direction until the suction cup abuts against the product, the elastic element is compressed to squeeze the product between the suction cup and the worktable.
[0017] As a further improvement of this utility model, a pressure sensor is also provided between the elastic element and the suction cup, and the pressure sensor is used to monitor the pressure of the suction cup on the product.
[0018] As a further improvement of this utility model, the camera module has two shooting directions, including a first shooting direction shooting along the first direction and a second shooting direction shooting along the second direction. The first shooting direction is used to shoot the front of the product, and the second shooting direction is used to shoot the back of the product.
[0019] As a further improvement of this utility model, the camera assembly further includes a second driving component for driving the camera module to rotate. The first driving component and the second driving component are independent of each other and can drive the gripping component and / or the camera module to rotate respectively.
[0020] The beneficial technical effects of this utility model are as follows: by configuring the gripping component to be able to move towards the worktable in a first direction and grip the product on the worktable, and to be able to rotate from the first direction to a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, and by configuring the camera component to be located beside the gripping component and having a camera module arranged in the first direction, the camera module can be activated to pivot on the camera component so that the camera module extends in the second direction, and when the gripping component rotates from the first direction to the second direction, the camera module is activated to pivot to extend in the second direction, thereby making the lens of the camera module face the product. In this way, by using the first and second directions of the camera module, the front and back of the product can be photographed, saving costs and having practicality. Attached Figure Description

[0024] In order to better understand the technical means of this utility model and to implement it in accordance with the contents of the specification, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.
[0025] Please see Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this utility model discloses a camera device 100 for photographing the front and back of a product 200. The camera device 100 includes a gripping component 1, a camera component 2, and a gantry 3 for moving the gripping component 1 along a first direction and a second direction, and for moving the camera component 2 along the second direction. Preferably, the first direction and the second direction are positioned relative to each other, with the second direction being parallel to the horizontal plane and perpendicular to the horizontal plane. The gantry 3 is a conventional configuration and will not be described in detail.
[0026] In the second direction, the camera device 100 is positioned above the product 200, which is placed on the worktable 300. In the first direction, the worktable 300 includes a first worktable 301 and a second worktable 302 that are independent of each other. The first worktable 301 is directly opposite the gripping component, and the second worktable 302 is located between the gripping component 301 and the camera component 302.
[0027] The gripping component 1 is configured to move along the second direction to a position opposite to the first worktable 301 or the second worktable 302, and the camera component 2 is configured to move along the second direction to a position opposite to the second worktable 302. Preferably, the product 200 is located on the first worktable 301, and after being gripped by the gripping component 1 and moved along the first and second directions, it moves from the first worktable 301 to the second worktable 302. At this time, the camera component 2 moves along the second direction to a position opposite to the second worktable 302 and captures a picture of the front of the product 200.
[0028] The gripping component 1 is positioned opposite the worktable 300 and has at least two directions of movement. The gripping component 1 moves towards the worktable 300 along a first direction and grips the product 200 on the worktable 300. The gripping component 1 is configured to rotate from the first direction to a second direction. In other words, the gripping direction of the gripping component 1 can rotate from the first direction to the second direction. After the gripping component 1 grips the product 200, the product 200 can follow the gripping component 1 and rotate from a direction parallel to the first direction to a direction perpendicular to the first direction. At this time, the reverse side of the product 200 is exposed in the second direction.
[0029] The gripping component 1 includes a first driving component 11 at the top and a suction cup component 12 at the bottom. The suction cup component 12 is connected to the first driving component 11 and can rotate back and forth between the first direction and the second direction under the drive of the first driving component 11.
[0030] Specifically, in the first direction, the suction cup assembly 12 includes an elastic element 121 at the top and a suction cup 122 facing the product 200. When the suction cup assembly 12 moves along the first direction until the suction cup 122 abuts against the product 200, the elastic element 121 is compressed to press the product 200 between the suction cup 122 and the worktable 300. By providing the elastic element 121, sufficient contact between the suction cup 122 and the product 200 can be ensured, thereby ensuring that the product 200 can be gripped.
[0031] A pressure sensor 123 is also provided between the elastic element 121 and the suction cup 122. The pressure sensor 123 is used to monitor the pressure of the suction cup 122 on the product 200. In this way, by setting the pressure sensor 123, damage to the product 200 is avoided.
[0032] The camera assembly 2 is disposed beside the gripping assembly 1 and has a camera module 21 disposed along the first direction. The camera module 21 is activatably pivotable to the camera assembly 2, such that the camera module 21 extends along the second direction. When the gripping assembly 1 grips the product 200 on the worktable 300 along the first direction and rotates from the first direction to the second direction, the camera module 21 is activated and pivots to extend along the second direction. At this time, the lens of the camera module 21 is directly facing the product 200. That is, at this time, the camera module 21 can capture the reverse side of the product 200.
[0033] Specifically, the camera module 21 has two shooting directions, including a first shooting direction shooting along the first direction and a second shooting direction shooting along the second direction. The first shooting direction is used to shoot the front of the product 200, and the second shooting direction is used to shoot the back of the product 200. Of course, the first direction and the first shooting direction are the same, and the second direction and the second shooting direction are the same.
[0034] The camera assembly 2 further includes a second drive assembly 22 for driving the camera module 21 to rotate. The first drive assembly 21 and the second drive assembly 22 are independent of each other and can respectively drive the gripping assembly 1 and / or the camera module 2 to rotate. Preferably, both the first drive assembly 21 and the second drive assembly 22 are rotary cylinders.
[0035] In this embodiment, the gripping component 1 first grips the product 200 located on the first worktable 301 along the first direction, and after the product 200 is detached from the first worktable 301, the gripping component 1 is driven to rotate from the first direction to the second direction, so that the reverse side of the product 200 gripped by the gripping component 1 faces the camera component 2, and the gripping component 1 is driven to move along the second direction to directly above the second worktable 302. The camera module 21 of the camera assembly 2 can be activated and pivoted so that the lens of the camera module 21 is positioned opposite the reverse side of the product 200 to photograph the reverse side of the product 200. Then, the gripping assembly 1 is driven to rotate from the second direction to the first direction, and the product 200 is placed on the second worktable 302 along the first direction. The gripping assembly 1 is then driven to reset. At this time, the camera assembly 2 is driven to move directly above the second worktable 302, and the camera module 21 is activated and driven to rotate from the second direction to the first direction, so that the lens of the camera module 21 is directly facing the product 200 on the second worktable 302, and the front of the product 200 is photographed. Afterward, the camera assembly 2 is driven to reset. Thus, both the front and back sides of the product 200 can be photographed using a single camera assembly 2.
[0036] In summary, the camera device 100 for photographing the front and back of a product according to this utility model achieves front and back photography by configuring the gripping component 1 to move along a first direction toward a worktable 300 and grip the product 200 on the worktable 300, and to rotate from the first direction to a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. Simultaneously, the camera component 2 is positioned beside the gripping component 1 and has a camera module 21 arranged along the first direction. The camera module 21 is activatably pivotable to the camera component 2, allowing it to extend along the second direction. When the gripping component 1 rotates from the first direction to the second direction, the camera module 21 is activated to pivot and extend along the second direction, thereby making the lens of the camera module 21 directly facing the product 200. Thus, by using the first and second directions of the camera module 21, front and back photography of the product 200 is achieved, saving costs and demonstrating practicality.
[0037] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
