However, since the industrial camera is provided with a control chip at the remote end, in order to ensure the performance and stable operation of the control chip, a large number of components related to the control chip need to be integrated in the industrial camera, which leads to the complexity of the internal circuit of the industrial camera and increases the power consumption of the industrial camera.
[0047] The utility model provides a kind of solution, control chip for carrying out data processing is arranged in processing terminal, i.e. control chip can be to the data in processing terminal and the data of industrial camera, realizes that control chip of remote end and near end is shared, industrial camera is mainly responsible for the image data of image sensor is converted into serial data and is fed back to the control chip in processing terminal, therefore, the utility model does not need to integrate the components related to the control chip in industrial chip, realizes that control chip of remote end side and control chip of near end side is shared, and the components related to the control chip can be arranged in the internal processing terminal, effectively simplify the internal circuit of industrial camera, reduce the power consumption of industrial camera.
[0048] Based on this, the utility model discloses an industrial camera, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 It is the structural diagram of the first embodiment of the utility model industrial camera.
[0049] In this embodiment, the industrial camera 10 comprises: an image sensor 11 and a serial module 12.
[0050] The serial module 12 is connected with the first end of the image sensor 11 and a processing terminal 20 respectively, and a control chip 21 is arranged in the processing terminal 20.
[0051] It should be noted that the image sensor 11 can be a sensor capable of converting a two-dimensional light intensity distribution optical image into a one-dimensional time sequence electrical signal.
[0052] It can be understood that the serial module 12 can be a module for serial communication with the processing terminal 20.
[0053] It should be noted that the processing terminal 20 can be a terminal for communication with the industrial camera 10.
[0054] It can be understood that the control chip 21 can be a chip for controlling the industrial camera 10, that is, the control chip 21 can be a chip for processing data (near-end data) inside the processing terminal and data (far-end data) transmitted by the industrial camera 10 respectively. The serial module 12 is used for receiving image data collected by the image sensor 11.
[0055] In specific implementation, the light emitted or reflected by the object is focused on the surface of the image sensor 11 through the lens of the industrial camera 10, the photosensitive material of the image sensor 11 absorbs photons and generates electrons, the electrons are then converted into electrical signals, and the electrical signals are amplified and processed through the corresponding circuit, thereby generating image data corresponding to the object, and then the image sensor 11 can transmit the collected image data to the serial module 12.
[0056] The serial module 12 is also used for transmitting the image data to the processing terminal 20 after converting the image data into serial data, so that the control chip 21 of the processing terminal 20 performs data processing based on the serial data.
[0057] It should be noted that the control chip provided in the existing industrial camera is used to perform preliminary preprocessing on the image, such as automatic exposure control, automatic white balance adjustment, encoding, and the like, so as to improve the efficiency of image transmission to the processing terminal 20. In the embodiment, the control chip is removed from the industrial camera. In order to improve the transmission efficiency of image data, the serial module 12 can be provided. The serial module 12 can load the image data into a shift register, and then output the image data bit by bit through the shift register to form serial data of a single physical channel and output to the processing terminal 20.
[0058] For example, the serial module 12 can load the image data into the shift register and initialize the bit counter to the highest bit at each clock rising edge if the start conversion signal is received. Then, the highest bit of the shift register is output at each clock cycle, and then the shift register is shifted to the left by one bit, and the bit counter is reduced by 1. The above process is repeated. When the bit counter is reduced to 0, it indicates that all bits have been output, and the serialization process is completed. It is determined that the image data has been successfully shifted out bit by bit, and serial data of a single physical channel is obtained.
[0059] It should be understood that, by converting the image data into serial data of a single physical channel and transmitting the serial data to the processing terminal 20, compared with using multiple signal lines to simultaneously transmit multiple data, the serial transmission mode can reduce the number of signal lines, reduce interference, and thus effectively improve the efficiency of data transmission.
[0060] Further, the processing terminal 20 can deserializes the serial data and restore the image data. The control chip 21 performs data processing on the image data. For example, the control chip 21 can perform operations such as enhancement, filtering, edge detection, feature extraction, and the like on the image data, so as to improve the image quality or extract useful image information.
[0061] The industrial camera of the embodiment comprises an image sensor and a serial module. The serial module is connected with the first end of the image sensor and a processing terminal, and the processing terminal is provided with a control chip. The serial module of the embodiment receives image data collected by the image sensor. The serial module converts the image data into serial data and transmits the serial data to the processing terminal, so that the control chip of the processing terminal performs data processing based on the serial data. Since the control chip for data processing in the embodiment is provided in the processing terminal, the industrial camera is mainly responsible for converting the image data of the image sensor into serial data and feeding back to the control chip in the processing terminal. Therefore, the embodiment does not need to integrate components related to the control chip in the industrial chip, thereby effectively simplifying the internal circuit of the industrial camera and reducing the power consumption of the industrial camera.

The serial connector 122 can receive the serial data stream, identify the control command in the serial data stream, and transmit the control command to the serializer 121.
[0079] The serializer 121 is configured to respond to the control command and perform an operation corresponding to the control command.
