[0003] However, the monitoring equipment in the prior art has defects. The main defects are that the monitoring equipment in the prior art only relies on the camera and the recognition algorithm to complete monitoring, so when the intruding foreign matter is small and the intruding foreign matter moves at a high speed (for example, when the inside of a tunnel is monitored, the size of the stone falling from the top of the tunnel is small and the falling speed is high), the monitoring equipment cannot accurately monitor the foreign matter. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

[0004] The utility model provides monitoring equipment and system, its purpose lies in solving the problem that the monitoring equipment in the prior art cannot accurately monitor the foreign matter invasion.

[0016] Preferably, in order to facilitate the camera modules to achieve accurate monitoring, the camera modules comprise a light supplement lamp, and the light supplement lamp is located below the camera.

[0017] The light supplement lamp illuminates the monitoring area, so that the picture is clearer and the monitoring effect is better when the camera modules monitor.

[0031] To make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments clearer and more apparent, the utility model is further described in detail below in combination with the drawings and embodiments. When the following description refers to the drawings, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The implementation modes described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all the implementation modes consistent with the present disclosure. On the contrary, they are only examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0032] It should be noted that all actions of acquiring signals, information or data in the present application are carried out in compliance with the corresponding data protection regulations and policies of the country where the device is located, and with the authorization of the corresponding device owner.

[0033] In this disclosure, unless otherwise stated, directional terms such as "inner" and "outer" are defined based on the contours of the corresponding components. Terms such as "first" and "second" used in this disclosure are for distinguishing one element from another and do not imply sequence or importance.

[0034] Example 1

[0035] The basics are as follows: Figure 1 As shown, a monitoring device includes a camera device 1 and a radar device 2.

[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the camera device 1 includes a housing 11 and several camera modules 12. The housing 11 is generally semi-circular, and its structure includes a base plate and a top cover. The base plate and the top cover can be made of plastic or metal, and the base plate and the top cover can be connected by fasteners. When the top cover is fastened to the base plate, a cavity can be formed inside the housing 11.

[0037] It is understandable that the top cover is fastened to the bottom plate to form a complete shell. The top cover can be made using a one-piece molding process. The top cover has no connecting gaps, which helps to prevent external rainwater or impurities from entering the interior of the shell 11.

[0038] In this embodiment, several camera modules 12 are configured and installed on the base plate in an arc shape. Each camera module 12 faces a different direction outward from the outer casing 11, thereby enabling monitoring in different directions. The number of camera modules 12 can be 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5, etc. In this embodiment, it is preferable to use 4 camera modules 12, and the 4 camera modules 12 are arranged in an arc shape, with each camera module 12 monitoring the cone-shaped area in front of it. Simultaneously, the sum of the camera angles of the 4 camera modules 12 is greater than 180 degrees. Figure 3 As shown.

[0039] It should be noted that each camera module 12 inevitably experiences some image distortion at the monitoring edges during monitoring, affecting the monitoring effect. Therefore, in this embodiment, it is preferable to set the number of camera modules 12 to four, and the sum of the camera angles of the four camera modules 12 is greater than 180 degrees. When the camera device 1 monitors a 180-degree range in front, since the sum of the camera angles of the four camera modules 12 is greater than 180 degrees, the edges of the monitoring images of the monitoring modules on both sides are not within the 180-degree range, and the image within the 180-degree range will not be distorted, ensuring a better monitoring effect. At the same time, the adjacent overlapping monitoring area between the four camera modules 12 is larger, so at the edges of the monitoring images of adjacent camera modules 12, they will cooperate with other adjacent monitoring modules to complete the monitoring, further avoiding the problem of poor monitoring effect caused by image distortion.

[0040] In this embodiment, the camera module 12 specifically includes a camera, a fill light, and a mounting bracket. The mounting bracket is fixedly mounted on the base plate, and in practice, it can be fixed by configuring fasteners. The camera and fill light are mounted on the front of the mounting bracket. The camera and fill light can be mounted on the mounting bracket by configuring fasteners. In this embodiment, both the camera and fill light can be cameras and fill lights from the prior art.

[0041] In this embodiment, the fill light is preferably placed below the camera, so that the illumination of the fill light can be more focused on the monitoring position of the camera, thereby achieving a better lighting effect.

[0042] In this embodiment, the camera module 12 is installed inside the housing 11, which protects the camera module 12. To ensure that the camera module 12 inside the housing 11 can monitor the outside, a light-transmitting component is provided on the upper cover of the housing 11. The light-transmitting component can be a light-transmitting plate or a light-transmitting lens. The light-transmitting component is fixedly installed to the housing 11 by adhesive bonding. The light-transmitting component is divided into a camera light-transmitting component and a fill light light-transmitting component. The camera light-transmitting component is positioned facing the camera and is used to power the camera; the fill light light-transmitting component is positioned facing the fill light and is used to power the fill light.

[0043] In order to enable signal transmission between the camera module 12 and the outside, this embodiment also provides a signal connector 13 on the back of the housing 11. The signal connector 13 can be a conventional signal connector 13 in the prior art, such as an aircraft plug female connector.

[0044] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the radar device 2 is installed below the camera module 12. The monitoring range of the radar device 2 at least partially overlaps with the monitoring range of the camera device 1. Specifically, the monitoring range of the radar device 2 may be larger than that of the camera device 1. Alternatively, the monitoring range of the radar device 2 may completely overlap with that of the camera device 1. The radar device 2 can be any existing radar device 2. The radar device 2 is used in conjunction with the camera device 1 to detect foreign objects, thereby achieving better monitoring results.

[0045] In this embodiment, the radar device 2 is detachably mounted below the camera module 12. During implementation, as... Figure 5As shown, the embedded plates 3 can be arranged on the left and right sides of the top end of the radar device 2, and the embedded plates 3 are L-shaped. Meanwhile, two matching plates 4 are arranged at the bottom of the camera module 12, and the matching plates 4 are also L-shaped. The matching plates 4 are installed on the bottom of the camera module 12 by arranging fasteners and the like, and the matching plates 4 and the bottom of the camera module 12 form a limiting groove. When installing, the embedded plates 3 are embedded into the limiting groove, so that the embedded plates 3 and the matching plates 4 are mutually embedded and fixed, realizing the stable connection of the radar device 2 and the camera device 1. When it is needed to separate the radar device 2 and the camera device 1, the embedded plates 3 are taken out from the limiting groove, and then the separation of the radar device 2 and the camera device 1 can be realized.

[0046] It can be understood that the radar device 2 and the camera device 1 are separable and connected, so that the radar device 2 and the camera device 1 can be separated and transported. Meanwhile, in different application scenarios, different models of the radar device 2 can be arranged as needed, which is more practical. In some scenarios in which the radar device 2 / camera device 1 is not needed, the camera device 1 can be separated from the radar device 2, and the camera device 1 / radar device 2 is used alone.

[0047] The following will be further described in detail through specific embodiments: when foreign matter monitoring is performed, the camera device 1 and the radar device 2 cooperate with each other to realize the monitoring of foreign matter. Compared with only arranging the camera device 1 to perform monitoring, the radar device 2 and the camera device 1 cooperate to complete the monitoring, which is more accurate and better.

[0048] Embodiment 2

[0049] The embodiment provides a monitoring system, which comprises the monitoring device in the embodiment 1 and a control terminal. The camera device 1 and the radar device 2 in the monitoring device are signal-connected with the control terminal. The control terminal can be a conventional control terminal in the prior art, such as an industrial computer terminal module, and the embodiment is not limited.

[0050] The control terminal can be arranged at a place where a staff is located, and the staff can process foreign matter in time according to the feedback of the control terminal when foreign matter intrusion occurs.

[0051] The above is only an embodiment of the present application, and the well-known specific structure and characteristics in the scheme are not described in detail. It should be pointed out that, for those skilled in the art, without departing from the structure of the present application, a number of modifications and improvements can be made, which should also be regarded as the protection range of the present application, and these will not affect the effect and practicability of the present application. The protection range claimed in the present application should be subject to the content of its claims, and the specific implementation mode and the like in the specification can be used to explain the content of the claims.
