Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of video surveillance technology, specifically a spherical camera that is easy to disassemble and maintain. Background Technology

[0002] A dome camera is a device used for video recording. This device features a 7-inch, non-deformable, high-strength die-cast aluminum alloy housing, a built-in 30x original optical lens, and is a monitoring device capable of two-way audio communication. The camera unit integrates the camera, microphone, speaker, and optoelectronic switch into a single explosion-proof enclosure, combining video recording, two-way audio communication, and data transmission. The camera unit can be equipped with both cable interfaces and fiber optic network signal interfaces.

[0003] A search revealed Chinese patent application number 202322844843.7, which discloses a spherical head for a video surveillance device, relating to the field of video surveillance technology. The spherical head includes an upper mounting plate with an insert at its upper end. The insert fits into a slot in the upper mounting frame, and the insert and slot are detachably connected. A hanging rod is vertically fixed to the upper end of the upper mounting frame, passing through the mounting rod. The spherical head is covered by a protective cover made of explosion-proof glass. An inner lining made of rubber is provided on the inner wall of the slot. Multiple sets of threaded rods are installed between the upper mounting plate and the left and right sides of the slot, and these threaded rods are detachable. A through hole is formed in the center of the mounting rod, through which the hanging rod passes. This patent allows for easy assembly, stable and reliable installation, and quick disassembly, facilitating later inspection, maintenance, and cleaning, making it more convenient and practical.

[0004] Although the aforementioned patent allows for easy assembly, stable and reliable installation, and quick disassembly, facilitating later inspection, maintenance, and cleaning, making it more convenient and practical, in actual use, the patent uses multiple sets of detachable threaded rods to fix the upper mounting plate and fastening nuts to fix the upper rod body. This means that during the disassembly of the spherical head of the video surveillance device, the threaded rods and fastening nuts can completely detach from the upper mounting frame and upper rod body, making it prone to loss during subsequent storage. Furthermore, the disassembly of multiple sets of threaded rods during maintenance and repair is quite troublesome, thus hindering the maintenance and repair work of the spherical camera by the staff.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to modify the spherical head of the video surveillance device in the above patent to effectively prevent the threaded rod and fastening nut from completely detaching from the upper mounting bracket and upper rod body during the disassembly process, which would make it easy to lose during subsequent storage and make the disassembly of multiple sets of threaded rods during maintenance and repair quite troublesome.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. 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.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model provides a spherical camera that is easy to disassemble and maintain. It includes a mounting block 1, a groove 2 on the surface of the mounting block 1, a sliding plate 3 slidably connected inside the groove 2, a handle fixedly connected to the outer side of the sliding plate 3, and a spherical camera body 4 fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding plate 3. Positioning grooves 5 are symmetrically formed on both sides of the sliding plate 3, and positioning holes 6 are symmetrically formed on both sides of the mounting block 1. Positioning pins 7 are slidably connected to the inner walls of the positioning holes 6, with one end of each positioning pin 7 engaging with a positioning groove 5. The outer sides of the two positioning pins 7 are fixedly connected to the same handle. A square groove 8 is formed on the inner wall of the positioning hole 6. A square block 9 is fixedly connected to the surface of pin 7, and the square block 9 is slidably connected to the square groove 8. A reinforcing groove 10 is fixedly connected to the surface of the square groove 8. A reinforcing hole 11 is symmetrically opened on the front of the mounting block 1, and the reinforcing hole 11 is connected to the square groove 8. A lifting groove 12 is opened on the inner wall of the reinforcing hole 11. A lifting sleeve 13 is slidably connected inside the lifting groove 12, and the lifting sleeve 13 is engaged with the reinforcing groove 10. A threaded groove is opened on the surface of the lifting sleeve 13. A rotating column 14 is rotatably connected to the surface of the reinforcing hole 11 through a bearing, and the rotating column 14 is threadedly connected to the threaded groove. A torsion block is fixedly connected to the other end of the rotating column 14.

[0024] refer to Figure 2 The groove 2 has symmetrically provided abutting grooves 15 on its groove wall. Inside the abutting groove 15, a lifting spring 16 is symmetrically fixedly connected. The top of the lifting spring 16 is fixedly connected to an abutting block 17, and the abutting block 17 is used in conjunction with the slide plate 3.

[0025] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting the abutting groove 15, the lifting spring 16 and the abutting block 17, the movement trajectory of the slide plate 3 can be blocked, thereby further improving the firmness and stability of the slide plate 3 after it is inserted into the slide groove 2.

[0026] refer to Figure 5 A compression spring 18 is fitted on the surface of the positioning pin 7, and the compression spring 18 is located on the outside of the square block 9.

[0027] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting the compression spring 18, an inward pushing force can be given to the square block 9, so that the positioning pin 7 can be more securely engaged, and the lifting sleeve 13 can be easily engaged with the reinforcing groove 10.

[0028] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The inner wall of the slide 2 is symmetrically fixedly connected with guide blocks 19, and the surface of the slide plate 3 is symmetrically provided with guide grooves 20, and the guide grooves 20 are slidably connected with the guide blocks 19.

[0029] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting the guide block 19 and the guide groove 20, the method of avoiding errors can be used to allow the operator to directly and accurately slide the slide plate 3 into the groove 2 without spending attention, experience or professional knowledge.

[0030] refer to Figure 5 The inner wall of the lifting groove 12 is provided with a limiting groove 21, and the surface of the lifting sleeve 13 is symmetrically and fixedly connected with a limiting block 22, and the limiting block 22 is slidably connected to the limiting groove 21.

[0031] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting the limiting groove 21 and the limiting block 22, the lifting sleeve 13 can be prevented from rotating on its own along with the rotating column 14, so that the lifting sleeve 13 can only perform linear movement.

[0032] refer to Figure 1 Mounting block 1 has mounting parts fixedly connected to its four corners, and the surface of the mounting parts has threaded openings.

[0033] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the installation of the mounting block 1 is facilitated by the setting of the mounting parts and the threaded opening.

[0034] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: When installing the spherical camera, first install it to the designated position via external screws and the threaded opening on the mounting part. Then, press the abutment block 17 to retract it completely into the abutment groove 15, causing it to compress the lifting spring 16. Then, slide the guide groove 20 on the slide plate 3 along the guide block 19 on the slide groove 2 until it can no longer move. The abutment block 17 is pushed out by the reaction force of the lifting spring 16, causing the abutment block 17 to abut against the slide plate 3, thereby restricting the slide plate 3 within the slide groove 2. Then, rotate the torsion block on the same side to drive the rotating column 14 to rotate within the threaded groove. Since the limiting block 22 on the lifting sleeve 13 can only move linearly within the limiting groove 21, the lifting sleeve 13 can move outward and retract into the lifting groove 12 following the rotation of the rotating column 14. At this time, the compression spring 18 can give the square block 9 an inward pushing force, thereby causing the positioning pin 7 to automatically engage with the positioning groove 5 on the slide plate 3, thus completing the initial positioning of the slide plate 3. Then, rotate the torsion block in the opposite direction to drive the rotating column 14 to rotate in the opposite direction, so that the lifting sleeve 13 can be engaged into the reinforcing groove 10 on the square block 9, thereby reinforcing the position of the square block 9. Then, perform the same operation on the other side of the torsion column to complete the installation of the spherical camera body 4. When it is necessary to disassemble and maintain the spherical camera body 4, first rotate the torsion block to drive the rotating column 14 to rotate, so that the lifting sleeve 13 leaves the reinforcing groove 10 and is stored in the lifting groove 12. Then, pull the handle outward to drive the positioning pin 7 to leave the positioning groove 5. Then, press the abutment block 17 to retract it into the abutment groove 15. Then, pull the handle to pull the slide plate 3 out of the slide groove 2, thereby completing the disassembly of the spherical camera body 4. During the disassembly process, the rotating column 14 will not detach from the reinforcing hole 11, and the positioning pin 7 will not detach from the positioning hole 6 under the action of the square groove 8 and the square block 9, so that neither the rotating column 14 nor the positioning pin 7 will be lost.
