Description

[0002] With the growing demand for city intelligence and safety management, the deployment of cameras in urban roads and surrounding areas, as well as other application scenarios, is becoming more and more common. These cameras bear important tasks such as real-time monitoring of the surrounding situation, crime prevention, traffic management, public safety monitoring, and have important significance for improving the level of urban governance and the quality of life of residents.

[0003] However, in the actual installation process of the camera, the traditional method is usually to install the camera directly on the wall in the scene or on the outer wall of the street lamp. Although this installation method is simple and direct, it has significant drawbacks. Since the camera is exposed to the outdoor environment, it is subject to wind and rain erosion and dust pollution, and its lens and body are prone to water and dust, which not only affects the shooting quality and picture clarity of the camera, but also may cause damage to the internal electronic components, shortening the service life of the equipment.

[0004] To solve the problem of water and dust, an intuitive solution is to place the camera in a sealed space to isolate the interference of the external environment. However, although this method effectively prevents the intrusion of water and dust, it also brings another serious problem - insufficient heat dissipation. The camera generates a large amount of heat during operation, and if it cannot be effectively dissipated in time, it will cause the internal chips to overheat, affecting the normal operation of the device, and even causing chip failure, causing the monitoring system to malfunction.

[0037] It should be noted that all directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in the embodiments of the utility model are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement condition, etc. between components in a certain posture (as shown in the drawings), if the certain posture changes, the directional indications will also change accordingly.

[0038] Example 1

[0039] Referring to Figures 1 to 4 The core of the utility model is to provide a camera waterproof heat dissipation structure, including camera assembly, heat dissipation assembly and protection assembly.

[0040] The camera assembly includes a camera for shooting, and in this embodiment, the camera is a camera 2. The protection assembly has a protection cavity, and the camera 2 is arranged in the protection cavity. In this embodiment, the protection assembly is a transparent protective cover 4, which covers the camera 2 to protect it and keep the camera 2 in a waterproof and airtight state.

[0041] The camera 2 includes a shell 6 and an electrical assembly arranged in the shell 6. The electrical assembly includes a camera control element, and the heat dissipation assembly is arranged between the camera control element and the shell 6 and is at least in thermal contact with the camera control element. The thermal contact can be achieved by adhesion, etc. In this embodiment, the camera control element is a camera chip 5, which generates a large amount of heat during operation. Therefore, the heat dissipation assembly is used for heat dissipation, and in this embodiment, the heat dissipation assembly is a heat dissipation piece 9.

[0042] By setting the camera 2 in the protective cavity, the camera 2 can be in a waterproof and airtight state, and effective protection is obtained. Meanwhile, the camera 2 includes the shell 6 and the camera chip 5 arranged in the shell 6, and the heat dissipation piece 9 is arranged between the camera chip 5 and the shell 6. In the case of ensuring that the camera 2 is waterproof and dustproof, effective heat dissipation of the camera chip 5 is also achieved, and the problem that the camera chip 5 is overheated and fails is avoided. Because in the present scheme, the camera 2 is in a waterproof and airtight state due to the fact that the protective cover 4 is arranged outside the camera 2, the waterproof and dustproof effect is improved, and the camera 2 cannot directly contact the external space. The camera 2 cannot be well cooled, and in order to avoid the fact that the temperature of the camera 2 is too high and the internal chip fails, the heat dissipation piece 9 is used to cool the camera chip 5, and the heat on the camera chip 5 is dissipated to the shell 6.

[0043] The shell 6 is at least partially made of metal material, the heat dissipation piece 9 is used to cool the camera chip 5 to dissipate the heat to the shell 6, and the heat in the shell 6 is conducted and dissipated by the fact that the whole or part of the shell 6 is made of metal material, and the heat dissipation and cooling effect is further enhanced.

[0044] In the embodiment, the shell 6 includes the first half shell and the second half shell which are connected to each other, and at least one of the first half shell and the second half shell is made of metal material.

[0045] Referring to Figure 2 In one scheme of the embodiment, the heat dissipation piece 9 is fixed on the camera chip 5 and is not connected with the shell 6, and a plurality of heat dissipation fins are arranged at an end of the heat dissipation piece 9 which is away from the camera chip 5.

[0046] Referring to Figure 3 In another scheme of the embodiment, the heat dissipation piece 9 is in heat conduction connection with the metal material part of the shell 6, and the heat conduction and heat dissipation effect is further enhanced. Specifically, the heat dissipation piece 9 is integrally formed with the metal material part of the shell 6, and the heat dissipation effect is further enhanced. Of course, in other embodiments, the heat dissipation piece 9 and the shell 6 can belong to different assemblies.

[0047] Further, the elastic heat dissipation pad 8 is arranged on the camera chip 5, and one end of the heat dissipation piece 9 is arranged on the elastic heat dissipation pad 8. The heat dissipation piece 9 is arranged on the elastic heat dissipation pad 8, which can prevent a gap from being generated between the heat dissipation piece 9 and the camera chip 5, and effective heat dissipation contact between the heat dissipation piece 9 and the camera chip 5 is ensured, so that reliable heat conduction connection is ensured. Because the heat dissipation assembly is integrally formed with the shell 6, if the elastic heat dissipation pad 8 is not arranged, a gap or mutual interference between the camera chip 5 and the heat dissipation piece 9 is prone to occur.

[0048] Further, a plurality of heat dissipation through holes 7 are arranged on the shell 6, and the heat dissipation effect is further enhanced.

[0049] Embodiment 2

[0050] Referring to Figures 1 to 4 Another core of the utility model is to provide a lamp, including lamp body 1 and the camera 2 waterproof heat radiation structure of embodiment 1, camera subassembly and protection subassembly are all arranged on lamp body 1.

[0051] Electric cavity 10 is arranged in lamp body 1, protection cavity is communicated with electric cavity 10, camera subassembly includes base 3, base 3 is arranged in electric cavity 10, camera 2 is rotatably installed on base 3. The side inner wall of electric cavity 10 is provided with an opening, and the camera 2 is exposed outside the electric cavity 10 through the opening, so that the wiring of the base 3 is facilitated, and the appearance of the lamp is more beautiful, and the size of the entire camera subassembly exposed outside the electric cavity 10 is reduced, the size requirement of the protective cover 4 is reduced, in addition, the heat of the camera 2 can interact with the air in the electric cavity 10, and the heat dissipation effect is also enhanced.

[0052] The lamp includes a battery assembly 11 arranged outside the lamp body 1. The battery assembly 11 specifically includes a battery box and a battery arranged in the battery box. By placing the battery assembly 11 outside the electric cavity 10, the heat generated by the battery assembly 11 is prevented from affecting the temperature in the electric cavity 10, reducing the influence of other components on the temperature of the camera 2, and enhancing the heat dissipation effect of the camera 2.

[0053] The embodiments of the utility model are described in detail above in combination with the drawings, but the utility model is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments. Even if various changes are made to the utility model, if the changes fall within the scope of the claims of the utility model and equivalent technologies, they still fall within the protection scope of the utility model.
