Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of industrial camera technology, specifically to an industrial camera with a protective structure. Background Technology

[0002] Industrial cameras, also known as video cameras, primarily function to convert light signals into ordered electrical signals. Machine vision systems use industrial cameras to convert the target into image signals. These signals are then digitally processed and used in various calculations to extract the target's features, thereby controlling the actions of equipment on-site.

[0003] Announcement No.: CN221553354U, entitled "An Industrial Camera with Protective Function", includes a base, an internally rotatably connected rotating body, a base plate fixedly connected to the top of the rotating body, a protective shell movably mounted on the outside of the base plate, vertical plates fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the base plate, and a common cylinder rotatably connected to the side of the two vertical plates that are close to each other. A grooved plate is fixedly connected to the outside of the cylinder. Through the cooperation of the rotating body, worm gear, worm, and base plate, the industrial camera body can be protected while its angle can be adjusted, improving the efficiency of the industrial camera body. The protective function of the industrial camera body is achieved through the cooperation of cuboid, clamping plate, block, and pull ring, which increases the service life of the industrial camera body and reduces costs.

[0004] While existing industrial cameras have protective structures, these structures do not rotate with the camera, making it easy for some long industrial cameras to jam or collide with the housing during rotation. Therefore, this does not meet the current requirements, and an industrial camera with a protective structure is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an industrial camera with a protective structure to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that, although existing industrial cameras have a protective structure, the protective structure does not rotate with the camera, which leads to some long industrial cameras easily getting stuck or bumping into the housing during rotation.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an industrial camera with a protective structure, comprising: an assembly base, a circular turntable mounted on the top of the assembly base, a protective shell mounted on the outer wall of the turntable that rotates with it, an industrial camera that also rotates with the turntable mounted inside the protective shell, a motor housing mounted on the bottom of the assembly base, and a second servo motor for driving the turntable to rotate inside the motor housing.

[0007] Preferably, the protective shell consists of two sets of L-shaped assembly frames arranged symmetrically on the left and right sides, with a front cover plate installed at the front end of the assembly frame and a rear cover plate installed at the rear end of the assembly frame.

[0008] Preferably, the outer walls at both ends of the assembly frame are provided with several vertically spaced slots, and the outer walls of the front cover plate and the rear cover plate are provided with locking blocks for engaging with the slots.

[0009] Preferably, a top plate is installed on the top of the assembly rack, and a mobile power supply is installed above the top plate.

[0010] Preferably, both sides of the industrial camera are mounted on the turntable by bolts using L-shaped brackets.

[0011] Preferably, a rotating block and a driven block are respectively installed on the inner sidewalls of the two brackets, and a first servo motor for driving vertical rotation is installed at one end of the rotating block.

[0012] Preferably, a U-shaped notch is provided at the middle position of the front cover for adjusting the angle of the industrial camera.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] (1) In this utility model, the second servo motor is used to drive the turntable to rotate. Since the protective shell is installed on the outer wall of the turntable, the protective shell will rotate together when the turntable drives the industrial camera to rotate, thereby effectively avoiding the problem of some long-volume industrial cameras easily getting stuck or bumping into the shell during rotation.

[0015] (2) In this utility model, the protective shell is composed of two sets of L-shaped assembly frames arranged symmetrically on the left and right to protect the sides. The top plate is installed on the top to protect the upper part. The front and rear ends are protected by the front cover plate and the rear cover plate respectively, so that the protective shell can fully cover all directions of the industrial camera and effectively improve the protection.

[0016] (3) In this utility model, when the front cover plate and the rear cover plate are installed, they are aligned with the mounting frame by the clip and then locked by insertion, which makes it convenient for users to perform quick installation and disassembly operations.

[0023] 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.

[0024] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 This utility model provides an embodiment of an industrial camera with a protective structure, comprising: a mounting base 1, a circular turntable 2 mounted on top of the mounting base 1, a motor housing 6 mounted on the bottom of the mounting base 1, a second servo motor 601 for driving the turntable 2 to rotate inside the motor housing 6, a protective shell 3 that rotates with the turntable 2 mounted on the outer wall of the turntable 2, and an industrial camera 4 that also rotates with the turntable 2 mounted inside the protective shell 3; the second servo motor 601 is used to drive the turntable 2 to rotate. Since the protective shell 3 is mounted on the outer wall of the turntable 2, when the turntable 2 drives the industrial camera 4 to rotate, the protective shell 3 will rotate together, thereby effectively avoiding the problem of some long-volume cameras easily getting stuck or bumping into the shell during rotation.

[0025] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, the protective shell 3 consists of two sets of L-shaped assembly frames 301 arranged symmetrically on the left and right. A front cover plate 304 is installed at the front end of the assembly frame 301, and a rear cover plate 305 is installed at the rear end of the assembly frame 301. Several vertically spaced slots 302 are opened on the outer walls of both the front and rear ends of the assembly frame 301. The outer walls of the front cover plate 304 and the rear cover plate 305 are equipped with locking blocks 306 for engaging with the slots 302. A top plate 303 is installed on the top of the assembly frame 301, and a... Equipped with a mobile power supply 5, which supplies power to the first servo motor 402 and the industrial camera 4, while the second servo motor 601 is connected to other external power sources; the protective shell 3 consists of two sets of L-shaped mounting brackets 301 arranged symmetrically on the left and right to protect the sides, and a top plate 303 is installed on the top to protect the upper part. The front and rear ends are protected by a front cover plate 304 and a rear cover plate 305, respectively, so that the protective shell 3 can fully cover all directions of the industrial camera 4 and effectively improve the protection.

[0026] During installation, the front cover 304 and the rear cover 305 are aligned with the mounting bracket 301 by the clip 306 and then engaged by insertion, which facilitates quick installation and disassembly by the user.

[0027] Please see Figure 4 The industrial camera 4 is mounted on the turntable 2 by bolts through L-shaped brackets 401 on both sides. A rotating block 403 and a driven block 404 are respectively installed on the inner side wall of the two brackets 401. A first servo motor 402 for driving vertical rotation is installed at one end of the rotating block 403. A U-shaped notch 307 for adjusting the angle of the industrial camera 4 is opened in the middle of the front cover plate 304. The rotating block 403 is driven to rotate by the first servo motor 402, which in turn drives the industrial camera 4 located between the rotating block 403 and the driven block 404 to rotate vertically. The vertical angle of the industrial camera 4 is adjusted by vertical rotation to improve the flexibility of the camera. The industrial camera 4 can be vertically rotated through the notch 307 at the front cover plate 304. The industrial camera 4 is initially in a horizontal state. Its vertical shooting angle is changed by vertically rotating downwards. Its vertical rotation angle does not exceed 45°.

[0028] The first servo motor 402 and the second servo motor 601 can be stepper motors, which are electric motors that convert electrical pulse signals into corresponding angular or linear displacements. Each input pulse signal causes the rotor to rotate by an angle or move forward one step. Based on this characteristic, users can easily perform horizontal and vertical rotation operations.

[0029] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
