Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of machine bases or supports for instruments or articles thereof, specifically a multi-directional positioning device for industrial cameras. Background Technology

[0002] Industrial cameras are high-performance imaging devices designed specifically for industrial applications. They feature high resolution, high frame rate, good color reproduction, and clear imaging. They can capture microscopic images, measure parameters such as the length, angle, and area of ​​objects, and have dynamic recording capabilities. They are widely used in machine vision intelligent inspection, industrial measurement, automated production lines, and other fields, and are one of the key devices for improving production efficiency and quality.

[0003] Industrial cameras need to be used in conjunction with multi-directional positioning devices. These devices control the camera's position to achieve multi-directional and multi-angle shooting, meeting various inspection needs. When industrial cameras are used on automated production lines, they can be placed in various positions, such as on a stable surface or at a high vantage point. The multi-directional positioning devices differ depending on the location. For example, a positioning device for a stable surface is placed on the ground and used to inspect the workpiece from the side of the production line. After fixing the camera, it can be raised and lowered to adjust the inspection height. When adjusting the inspection angle, the positioning device is usually manually rotated to change the shooting angle of the industrial camera. This method of changing the shooting angle is cumbersome when there are cameras in different processing areas of the production line, and all of them require angle adjustment. This requires workers to manually rotate each camera individually, making the adjustment of the shooting angle of all cameras quite troublesome. Utility Model Content

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0032] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a new technical solution: a multi-directional positioning device for an industrial camera, including a base 1, with a movable wheel 2 installed on the lower side of the base 1, and a fixed column 3 fixedly connected to the upper side of the base 1. A lifting groove 4 is formed inside the fixed column 3, and a connecting port 5 is formed on the base 1, communicating with the interior of the lifting groove 4. The connecting port 5 extends out of the outer surface of the fixed column 3, and a lifting block 6 is slidably connected inside the connecting port 5. The lifting block 6 can rotate inside the lifting groove 4, and a connecting block 7 is fixedly connected to the front side of the outer surface of the lifting block 6. A camera body 8 is provided on the front side of block 7. Flanges 9 are fixedly connected to both the front side of block 7 and the rear side of camera body 8. The two flanges 9 are connected by bolts. An adjustment mechanism is provided on the base 1 and the fixed column 3. The adjustment mechanism can drive the camera body 8 to move up and down and adjust the angle. The adjustment mechanism includes a first motor assembly 10, a threaded rod 12, a rotating groove 13, a rotating block 14, two limit rods 15, a limit ring groove 16, a limit ring 17, a first gear 18, a mounting groove 19, a second motor assembly 20, and a second gear 21.

[0033] Furthermore, the first motor assembly 10 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the fixed column 3. The output end of the first motor assembly 10 is fixedly connected to the first drive shaft 11. The lower end of the first drive shaft 11 extends rotatably into the interior of the lifting groove 4. The threaded rod 12 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the first drive shaft 11. The lower end of the threaded rod 12 threadedly passes through the lifting block 6. The rotating groove 13 is opened on the bottom wall of the lifting groove 4. The rotating block 14 is rotatably connected to the interior of the rotating groove 13. The lower end of the threaded rod 12 is rotatably connected to the upper side of the rotating block 14. Two limiting rods 15 are fixedly connected to the upper side of the rotating block 14. The two limiting rods 15 are respectively set on the left and right sides of the threaded rod 12. The upper ends of the two limiting rods 15 slide through the lifting block 6. The two limiting rods 15 are connected to the top of the lifting groove 4. The wall contacts but is not connected. The limiting ring groove 16 is opened on the inner surface of the rotating groove 13. The limiting ring 17 is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the rotating block 14. The limiting ring 17 is rotatably connected to the inside of the limiting ring groove 16. The first gear 18 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the rotating block 14. The mounting groove 19 is opened on the upper side of the base 1. The second motor assembly 20 is fixedly connected to the inside of the mounting groove 19. The output end of the second motor assembly 20 is fixedly connected to the second drive shaft. The upper end of the second drive shaft rotatably extends into the inside of the rotating groove 13. The second gear 21 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the second drive shaft. The second gear 21 meshes with the first gear 18. The first motor assembly 10 and the second motor assembly 20 are both motors that can be remotely controlled, and the second motor assembly 20 has a self-locking function.

[0034] When starting work, if the shooting height of the camera body 8 needs to be adjusted, the first motor assembly 10 is activated. The first motor assembly 10 transmits power from its output end, driving the first drive shaft 11 to rotate. The first drive shaft 11 drives the threaded rod 12 to rotate synchronously. Because the second motor assembly 20 has a self-locking function, the rotating block 14 and the first gear 18 will not rotate with the rotation of the threaded rod 12. The threaded rod 12 drives the threaded lifting block 6 to rise, and the lifting block 6 drives the connecting block 7 and the camera body 8 to rise synchronously. Activating the first motor assembly 10 in the opposite direction can lower the camera body 8, thereby adjusting the shooting height of the camera body 8. When the shooting angle of the camera body 8 needs to be adjusted... When the switch is activated, the second motor assembly 20 is started. The second motor assembly 20 transmits power from the output end, driving the second transmission shaft to rotate. The second transmission shaft drives the second gear 21 to rotate synchronously. The second gear 21 drives the meshing first gear 18 to rotate. The first gear 18 drives the rotating block 14 to rotate synchronously. The rotating block 14 drives the limiting ring 17 to rotate inside the limiting ring groove 16. Thus, the limiting ring 17 limits the position of the rotating block 14, ensuring the stability of the rotating block 14 during rotation. The rotating block 14 drives the two limiting rods 15 to rotate. The two limiting rods 15 drive the lifting block 6 to rotate. The lifting block 6 drives the connecting block 7 and the camera body 8 to rotate synchronously, thereby enabling the adjustment of the shooting angle of the camera body 8.

[0035] Meanwhile, because the threaded rod 12 has a self-locking connection, when the two limit rods 15 drive the lifting block 6 to rotate, the lifting block 6 will not rise or fall, but will drive the threaded rod 12 and the first transmission shaft 11 to rotate synchronously. However, when the threaded rod 12 rotates, it can only drive the lifting block 6 to move up and down. In this way, the positioning device can be remotely controlled to drive the camera body 8 to adjust the angle, so that the operator does not need to manually rotate the positioning device, which facilitates the adjustment of the shooting angle and makes it less troublesome to adjust when there are many industrial cameras.

[0036] Working principle: When starting work, if the shooting height of the camera body 8 needs to be adjusted, the first motor assembly 10 is activated. The first motor assembly 10 transmits power from its output end, driving the first transmission shaft 11 to rotate. The first transmission shaft 11 drives the threaded rod 12 to rotate synchronously. Because the second motor assembly 20 has a self-locking function, the rotating block 14 and the first gear 18 will not rotate with the rotation of the threaded rod 12. The threaded rod 12 drives the threaded lifting block 6 to rise. The lifting block 6 drives the connecting block 7 and the camera body 8 to rise synchronously. Activating the first motor assembly 10 in the opposite direction can lower the camera body 8, thereby adjusting the shooting height of the camera body 8. When the shooting angle of the camera body 8 needs to be adjusted... When adjusting the angle, the second motor assembly 20 is activated. The second motor assembly 20 transmits power from the output end, driving the second transmission shaft to rotate. The second transmission shaft drives the second gear 21 to rotate synchronously. The second gear 21 drives the meshing first gear 18 to rotate. The first gear 18 drives the rotating block 14 to rotate synchronously. The rotating block 14 drives the limiting ring 17 to rotate inside the limiting ring groove 16. Thus, the limiting ring 17 limits the position of the rotating block 14, ensuring the stability of the rotating block 14 during rotation. The rotating block 14 drives the two limiting rods 15 to rotate. The two limiting rods 15 drive the lifting block 6 to rotate. The lifting block 6 drives the connecting block 7 and the camera body 8 to rotate synchronously, thereby enabling the adjustment of the shooting angle of the camera body 8.

[0037] Meanwhile, because the threaded rod 12 has a self-locking connection, when the two limit rods 15 drive the lifting block 6 to rotate, the lifting block 6 will not rise or fall, but will drive the threaded rod 12 and the first transmission shaft 11 to rotate synchronously. However, when the threaded rod 12 rotates, it can only drive the lifting block 6 to move up and down.

[0038] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
