AI Technical Summary
Traditional surveillance camera reducer structures suffer from problems such as large gear backlash, low transmission efficiency, easy camera drop, and short lifespan.
The reducer, which adopts a dual-pivot structure, includes a housing, a rotor, a pin gear, and a cycloidal wheel. The pin gear swings through eccentric motion, which drives the cycloidal wheel to roll and rotate the output shaft. The output shaft is connected to the camera gear through a synchronous belt to achieve stable transmission.
It reduces gear backlash, improves transmission stability, prevents camera from falling, increases rotational torque, and extends service life.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steering technology for monitoring equipment, specifically a reducer structure applied to the internal transmission system of a monitoring camera. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous development of surveillance technology, surveillance cameras are increasingly widely used in many fields such as security, intelligent transportation, and industrial monitoring. In the pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) structure of a surveillance camera, the reducer plays a crucial role in achieving precise and stable camera rotation to cover a wider monitoring range and accurately capture targets.
[0003] Traditional reducers used in surveillance cameras often have some shortcomings. Traditional reducers are parallel shaft reducers with large gear clearances and multiple sets of meshing gears, which can cause deviations when the camera rotates and positions itself, affecting the accuracy and integrity of the monitoring image. When rotating downwards, the large clearances can easily cause the camera to fall. Worm gear drives have low transmission efficiency, resulting in energy waste and potentially generating excessive heat during long-term operation, affecting the lifespan and performance stability of the reducer and even the entire camera. Therefore, a reducer structure for use in the internal transmission system of surveillance cameras is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a speed reducer structure for use in the internal transmission system of a surveillance camera, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a reducer structure for an internal transmission system of a surveillance camera, comprising a housing and a rotor. A fixing block is installed inside the housing, and a positioning groove is formed on the end face of the fixing block near the opening of the housing. A pin gear connected to the rotor is installed in the positioning groove. A cycloidal wheel is installed inside the pin gear. The cycloidal wheel is sleeved on the outer surface of the output shaft and is configured to drive the cycloidal wheel to rotate the position of the output shaft slightly when the pin gear swings.
[0006] As a further embodiment of this utility model: positioning pins are installed at the three corners of the positioning groove, and the pin gear has three positioning holes for the ends of the positioning pins to be inserted simultaneously.
[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the inner diameter of the positioning groove is greater than the outer diameter of the pin gear, and the inner diameter of the positioning hole is greater than twice the eccentricity of the outer diameter of the end of the positioning post.
[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a first bearing is installed on the inner wall of the housing, the first bearing is connected to the output shaft, and a retaining ring is provided between the first bearing and the output shaft.
[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: an output baffle is installed on the end face of the opening of the housing, the end face of the output baffle near the pin gear is in contact with it, and a second bearing is installed on the end face of the output baffle away from the pin gear.
[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: threaded holes in the same position are provided on both the fixing block and the output baffle, and the threaded holes on each set of the fixing block and the output baffle are connected by bolts.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0012] This application drives a rotor to rotate, causing a pin gear connected to it to oscillate. During this oscillation, the pin gear drives a cycloidal wheel to roll, which in turn drives the output shaft to rotate. A gear mounted on the output shaft is connected to a gear below the camera via a synchronous belt. The rotation of the output shaft causes the camera to rotate. Compared to traditional reducer structures, this structure uses a double-bearing, double-pivot structure, making the transmission process more stable. It avoids the large gaps in multi-stage transmission gears of parallel shaft reducers and the unstable operation of single-pivot bearings, which could cause the camera to fall downwards during downward rotation due to the large gaps. By reducing the gaps, it also increases the torque during rotation, ensuring that the camera does not fall when rotating downwards. Attached Figure Description

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.
[0024] Please see Figure 1-9 In this embodiment of the present invention, a reducer structure applied to the internal transmission system of a surveillance camera includes a housing 1 and a rotor 5. A fixing block 7 is installed inside the housing 1. A positioning groove is formed on the end face of the fixing block 7 near the opening of the housing 1. A pin gear 8 connected to the rotor 5 is installed in the positioning groove. The outer diameter of the rotor 5 near the pin gear 8 is 0.2 times the eccentricity of the outer diameter of the other end of the rotor 5. The rotor 5 and the pin gear 8 are in clearance fit. When the rotor 5 rotates, the pin gear 8 swings due to eccentric motion. Positioning pins are installed at the three corners of the positioning groove. Three positioning holes are formed on the pin gear 8 for the ends of the positioning pins to be inserted simultaneously. The inner diameter of the positioning groove is larger than the outer diameter of the pin gear 8, and the inner diameter of the positioning hole is twice the eccentricity of the outer diameter of the positioning post end. A cycloidal wheel 9 is installed inside the pin gear 8. During its rolling process, the outer teeth of the cycloidal wheel 9 mesh with the inner teeth of the pin gear 8. The cycloidal wheel 9 is sleeved on the outer surface of the output shaft 3 and is configured to drive the cycloidal wheel 9 to rotate the position of the output shaft 3 slightly when the pin gear 8 swings. The end of the output shaft is also equipped with a gear that is connected to the gear below the camera via a synchronous belt. When the output shaft rotates, it drives the camera to rotate, thereby realizing the rotation of the camera. The principle here is the traditional transmission principle, which will not be elaborated on further.

Furthermore, the retaining ring 4 serves to axially block the rotor 5 to prevent it from rubbing against the housing 1.
