Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of spherical camera technology, and in particular to a spherical camera motherboard protection structure. Background Technology

[0002] In some security systems, dome cameras are indispensable devices, playing a crucial role in monitoring and protection. However, dome cameras are susceptible to signal interference during recording, leading to abnormal internal signal processing and resulting in unclear or non-functional images. This is primarily due to interference affecting the motherboard. The motherboard is typically housed in a protective casing, which is usually made of plastic or lacks sufficient shielding, making it vulnerable to signal interference. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model aims to at least partially solve one of the technical problems in related technologies. Therefore, one objective of this utility model is to propose a motherboard protection structure for a spherical camera, which solves the problem that spherical cameras are susceptible to signal interference with the motherboard, leading to abnormal shooting signals or unclear images.

[0004] According to this utility model, a spherical camera motherboard protection structure includes a shielding base and a shielding cover. The shielding base is installed on the top of the camera. The upper surface of the shielding base is a metal plate. The shielding base has four motherboard mounting posts. A signal transmission line runs through the shielding base. One end of the signal transmission line passes through the camera and is electrically connected to the camera. The other end has a first connector.

Detailed Implementation

[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0018] Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0019] Reference Figure 1-4 A spherical camera motherboard protection structure includes a shielding base 4 and a shielding cover 5. The shielding base 4 is mounted on top of a camera 1. The upper surface of the shielding base 4 is a metal plate 42. The shielding base 4 has four motherboard mounting posts 44. A signal transmission line 43 passes through the shielding base 4. One end of the signal transmission line 43 passes through the camera 1 and is electrically connected to the camera 1, and the other end has a first connector. The shielding cover 5 is a metal semi-elliptical cover. The bottom of the shielding cover 5 is fitted onto the shielding base 4 and fixed around the bottom and side walls with first bolts 41. After installation, the shielding cover 5 has a circumference of small vent holes 51 above the shielding base 4. The top of the shielding cover 5 has a mounting bracket. The mounting plate 6 is equipped with an exhaust fan 7, a control wiring 61, and a power wiring 62. The exhaust fan 7 is equipped with a power supply line 71 and a first electrical plug at the end of the power supply line 71. The control wiring 61 and the power wiring 62 are respectively equipped with a control plug and a second electrical plug at their ends. The first electrical plug, the control plug, and the second electrical plug are inserted into the corresponding plug positions on the motherboard. The first plug is also inserted into the corresponding plug positions on the motherboard. The top of the camera 1 is a circular rubber base 11. The circular rubber base 11 is inserted into the bottom of the spherical camera protective cover 2 and is fixed around the bottom of the protective cover 2 with a second bolt 21. The top of the protective cover 2 is equipped with a mounting tube 3, and the mounting tube 3 is equipped with a cable routing channel 31.

[0020] Before installation, thread the control wiring 61 and power wiring 62 (on the outside of the shield) from inside the protective cover 2 through the cable channel 31. First, install the mainboard on the four mainboard mounting posts 44. Insert the first connector into the corresponding position on the mainboard. Since the control wiring 61 and power wiring 62 have a certain length, first insert the control plug, the second power plug, and the first power plug on the control wiring 61 and power wiring 62 into the corresponding pins on the mainboard. After connecting, attach the bottom of the shield 5 to the shield base 4 (with an interference fit) and secure it with the first bolt 41. Then, insert the circular rubber mount 11 of the camera into the bottom of the spherical camera protective cover 2 and secure it around the bottom of the protective cover 2 with the second bolt 21. Pull the control wiring 61 and power wiring 62 outwards a suitable distance within the cable channel 31 before starting the installation.

[0021] The shielding cover 5 is a copper cover with insulating varnish applied to both its inner and outer surfaces. It prevents electric arcs from forming on its surface and provides some protection against metal oxidation.

[0022] When the shielding cover 5 is attached to the shielding base 4, the inner wall of the shielding cover 5 contacts the metal plate 42, and the contact area between the inner wall of the shielding cover 5 and the metal plate 42 is not coated with insulating varnish. This forms a closed cover, effectively shielding external signals.

[0023] The four motherboard mounting posts 44 are plastic posts with a length of 1.5-2.0cm. They are insulated and prevent contact with the bottom, allowing the motherboard to be placed in an airtight manner for added safety.

[0024] Both the first and second electrical plugs are pin header plugs with two sockets each. The first connector and the control plug both have pin header plugs with 5-10 sockets. The electrical plugs simply have two pin holes, while the control plugs are similar to computer data cables, but much smaller, less than 1cm wide. The number of pin headers is determined by the control data requirements.

[0025] After the wiring is completed, the mounting bracket 3 is stuffed with absorbent cotton at its end. This provides dust protection and absorbs moisture, preventing water vapor from entering the protective cover.

[0026] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
