Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of thermal imaging cameras, and more specifically, to an intrinsically safe thermal imaging camera for mining applications. Background Technology
[0002] In coal mines, where methane levels are high and coal dust is abundant, the instruments and equipment inside are exposed to flammable and explosive gases. For safety, thermal imaging cameras are necessary to monitor the mine's interior and ensure production safety. Existing mine thermal imaging cameras generally require high levels of overall sealing to achieve explosion-proof performance, so they are typically installed and disassembled as a single unit. However, adjustments to the camera's monitoring angle are sometimes necessary.
[0003] Existing adjustment methods typically involve setting arc-shaped grooves on the camera casing and installing bolts inside these grooves. The camera angle is adjusted by tightening or loosening the bolts. However, to fix the camera angle, multiple arc-shaped grooves and bolts are used. Loosening and tightening numerous bolts during adjustment and fixation wastes a significant amount of time, impacting work efficiency. Solving these problems has become a pressing issue for those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content
[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides an intrinsically safe thermal imaging camera for mining, which aims to solve the problem that existing cameras require tightening or loosening multiple bolts when adjusting the angle, which greatly affects work efficiency.

A support assembly is installed on the outer wall of the back plate, and a fixing assembly is provided on the outer wall of the back plate.
[0007] The support assembly includes a track, a frame, diagonal braces, and connectors. The track is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the back panel, the frame is located on the outer wall of the back panel, the diagonal braces are disposed outside the frame, and the connectors are installed on the outer wall of the frame.
[0008] Preferably, the frame is disposed on the outer wall of the track and is slidably connected to the outer wall of the track.

[0010] Preferably, the connectors are distributed on the outer wall of the frame and the outer wall of the intrinsically safe thermal imaging camera, and the two ends of the diagonal rod are rotatably connected to the connectors distributed on the outer wall of the frame and the connectors on the outer wall of the intrinsically safe thermal imaging camera, respectively.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the angle of the intrinsically safe thermal imaging camera can be adjusted by using the diagonal rods and connectors when the frame moves.

[0013] Preferably, the outer wall of the movable plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of the outer shell, one end of the handle passes through the slide rail and extends to the outside of the slide rail, and the outer wall of the handle is slidably connected to the inner wall of the slide rail.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the handle can be moved to move the movable plate inside the outer casing.
[0015] Preferably, the two sides of the spring are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the frame and the outer wall of the movable plate, respectively.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, when the moving plate moves, it can apply pressure to the spring. When the external force on the moving plate disappears, the spring will push the moving plate to reset, and the convex plate can slide inside the outer shell.
[0017] Preferably, the outer wall of the convex plate is inclined, the side of the convex plate extending into the inside of the outer shell is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the movable plate, the side of the convex plate away from the outer shell extends into the inside of the outer frame and abuts against the outer wall of the card plate, and the card plates are evenly distributed inside the outer frame.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the moving plate can drive the convex plate to move, and the presence of the clamping plate can restrict the frame through the convex plate.
[0019] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0030] Reference Figures 1-5 A mining intrinsically safe thermal imaging camera includes a back plate 1, a movable part 2, and an intrinsically safe thermal imaging camera 3. The movable part 2 is installed on the outer wall of the back plate 1, and the intrinsically safe thermal imaging camera 3 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the movable part 2. A support component 4 is installed on the outer wall of the back plate 1, and a fixing component 5 is provided on the outer wall of the back plate 1.
[0031] The support assembly 4 includes a track 401, a frame 402, a diagonal rod 403, and a connector 404. The track 401 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the back plate 1. The frame 402 is located on the outer wall of the back plate 1 and is slidably connected to the outer wall of the track 401. The frame 402 can slide on the outer wall of the track 401. The diagonal rod 403 is located on the outside of the frame 402. The connector 404 is installed on the outer wall of the frame 402. The connector 404 is distributed on the outer wall of the frame 402 and the outer wall of the intrinsically safe thermal imaging camera 3. The two ends of the diagonal rod 403 are rotatably connected to the connector 404 distributed on the outer wall of the frame 402 and the connector 404 on the outer wall of the intrinsically safe thermal imaging camera 3, respectively. When the frame 402 moves, the angle of the intrinsically safe thermal imaging camera 3 can be adjusted by the diagonal rod 403 and the connector 404.
[0032] By setting up the frame 402 and the clamping plate 508, when the camera angle is adjusted, the frame 402 will be pushed to move on the outer wall of the track 401. At this time, the frame 402 drives the protruding plate 506 to move through the outer shell 501. After the camera angle adjustment is completed, the spring 505 will push the moving plate 502 to move, so that the moving plate 502 pushes the protruding plate 506 to move into the inner frame 507 and abut against the outer wall of the clamping plate 508, thereby completing the angle fixation of the intrinsically safe thermal imaging camera 3. The operation is simple and convenient, which solves the problem that the existing intrinsically safe thermal imaging camera 3 requires tightening and loosening of multiple bolts when adjusting the angle, which has a great impact on work efficiency.
[0033] The fixing component 5 includes a housing 501, a movable plate 502, a handle 503, a slide rail 504, a spring 505, a protruding plate 506, an outer frame 507, and a retaining plate 508. The housing 501 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the frame 402. The movable plate 502 is installed inside the housing 501, and the outer wall of the movable plate 502 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the housing 501. The handle 503 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the movable plate 502. The slide rail 504 is formed inside the housing 501. One side of the handle 503... The handle 503 extends through the slide rail 504 and beyond its outer surface. The outer wall of the handle 503 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the slide rail 504. Moving the handle 503 causes the moving plate 502 to move within the housing 501. A spring 505 is located inside the housing 501, with its two sides fixedly connected to the outer wall of the frame 402 and the outer wall of the moving plate 502, respectively. When the moving plate 502 moves, it applies pressure to the spring 505. When the external force on the moving plate 502 disappears, the spring 505 pushes the moving plate 502 back to its original position. A protruding plate 506 is mounted on the outer wall of the housing 501, with one side extending through the housing 501 and into its interior. The outer wall of the protruding plate 506 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the housing 501 through which it is inserted. The protruding plate 506 can slide within the housing 501. The outer wall of the protruding plate 506 is inclined, and the side of the protruding plate 506 extending into the housing 501 is connected to the moving plate 502. The outer wall of the movable plate 502 is fixedly connected, and the movable plate 502 can drive the protruding plate 506 to move. The outer frame 507 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the back plate 1. The locking plate 508 is fixedly connected to the inside of the outer frame 507. The side of the protruding plate 506 away from the outer shell 501 extends into the inside of the outer frame 507 and abuts against the outer wall of the locking plate 508. The locking plates 508 are evenly distributed inside the outer frame 507. The presence of the locking plates 508 can restrict the frame 402 through the protruding plate 506.
[0034] By providing a handle 503 on the outer wall of the housing 501, when the camera angle needs to be adjusted, the handle 503 moves the moving plate 502, causing the moving plate 502 to move the protruding plate 506. The operation is simple and convenient. After the protruding plate 506 is retracted, the handle 503 can be used to push the frame 402 to slide on the outer wall of the track 401, thereby adjusting the angle of the intrinsically safe thermal imaging camera 3.
[0035] The working principle of this intrinsically safe thermal imaging camera for mining is as follows: The frame 402 slides along the outer wall of the track 401. When the frame 402 moves, the inclined rod 403 on the surface of the frame 402 pushes the intrinsically safe thermal imaging camera 3 to adjust its angle. Simultaneously, as the frame 402 moves, the outer casing 501 drives the protruding plate 506 to move. Before the protruding plate 506 moves, the handle 503 controls the movement of the moving plate 502, causing the moving plate 502 to... The protruding plate 506 retracts, and the moving plate 502 applies pressure to the spring 505 during its movement until the locking plate 508 separates from the protruding plate 506. After the intrinsically safe thermal imaging camera 3 is adjusted to a suitable angle, the external force applied to the handle 503 is stopped. At this time, the spring 505 pushes the moving plate 502, causing the moving plate 502 to drive the protruding plate 506 to reset and abut against the outer wall of the locking plate 508, thereby completing the angle fixation of the intrinsically safe thermal imaging camera 3.
[0036] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
