AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing photoelectric turntables lose their field of view when the detection components are facing downwards, resulting in a decrease in monitoring capabilities. Furthermore, unnecessary path repetition during rotation in both the horizontal and vertical directions affects adjustment efficiency.

Method used

Limiters and sensors are installed on the rotating shaft. The limiters trigger the sensors to stop the ball head from rotating after a certain angle, preventing it from facing the base. The combination of horizontal and vertical motors drives the rotation of the ball frame and the ball head, ensuring that the detection component rotates within the necessary range.

Benefits of technology

The monitoring capabilities of the photoelectric turntable have been improved, preventing loss of field of view and optimizing the rotation path, thereby improving adjustment efficiency and stability.

[0036] The utility model discloses the beneficial effect lies in: through setting up the limiter 41 and the sensor 26 that cooperates with the limiter 41 on the rotating shaft 4, make the ball head 3 rotate by certain angle, the limiter 41 is triggered, thereby make the ball head 3 stop rotating, and then avoid the front of the ball head 3 to the base 1, cause the loss of field of view, be favorable to improve the monitoring ability of photoelectric turntable.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 3 In a possible implementation, the fixed arm 21 is provided with a plurality of first fixing columns 22, the first fixing column 22 is provided with a PCB 27, and the sensor 26 is electrically connected with the PCB 27. It should be noted that the plurality of first fixing columns 22 are arranged at intervals, the first fixing column 22 is arranged to provide a mounting basis for the PCB 27, and the PCB 27 is arranged on the outer side of the limiter 41, which is conducive to improving the space utilization.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 2In a possible implementation, the other fixed arm 21 is provided with a vertical motor 5, the driving end of the vertical motor 5 is connected with the ball head 3, and the vertical motor 5 is electrically connected with the PCB 27. It should be noted that the vertical motor 5 is installed on the inner wall of the fixed arm 21 through bolts, and the vertical motor 5 is used to drive the ball head 3 to rotate in the vertical direction. When the ball head 3 rotates, the rotating shaft 4 rotates together with the ball head 3, and the limiter 41 rotates together with the rotating shaft 4. When the first baffle 411 triggers the sensor 26, a signal is sent to the PCB 27, and the PCB 27 sends a stop signal to the vertical motor 5, so that the ball head 3 stops rotating.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 2 In a possible implementation, the ball holder 2 is provided with a horizontal motor 6, the driving end of the horizontal motor 6 is connected with the base 1, and the horizontal motor 6 is electrically connected with the PCB 27.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 5 In a possible implementation, the limiter 41 is provided with a second baffle 412, the second baffle 412 is located between two adjacent first fixed columns 22, and the second baffle 412 contacts the first fixed column 22 after the first baffle 411 triggers the sensor 26. It should be noted that the second baffle 412 is arranged in a spaced manner with the first baffle 411, the second baffle 412 is also an integral structure with the limiter 41, the second baffle 412 is L-shaped to facilitate the contact between the second baffle 412 and the first fixed column 22. When the ball head 3 rotates downward to the limit distance, the second baffle 412 contacts the first fixed column 22, thereby preventing the ball head 3 from continuing to rotate downward. When the ball head 3 rotates upward to the limit distance, the second baffle 412 contacts the other first fixed column 22, thereby preventing the ball head 3 from continuing to rotate upward. The cooperation between the second baffle 412 and the first fixed column 22 can prevent the ball head 3 from rotating accidentally when the sensor 26 fails, thereby improving the stability of the photoelectric turntable.

In addition, the arc between the two first fixed columns 22 adjacent to the second stopper 412 is 120°, so that the restrictor 41 can be rotated by 120°. In actual application, the ball bracket 2 can be rotated by 360° in the horizontal direction, and the ball head 3 can be rotated in the range of -30° to 90° in the vertical direction, so that the photoelectric turntable can monitor the surrounding environment, and the photoelectric turntable can avoid losing the field of view of the surrounding environment.

It should be noted that the second fixed column 24 can provide a mounting basis for the sensor 26, so that the sensor 26 is in the same plane as the restrictor 41, thereby facilitating the cooperation between the sensor 26 and the restrictor 41, and improving the stability of the sensor 26.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 5 In a possible implementation, the end of the rotating shaft 4 is provided with a fixed ring 42, and the restrictor 41 is fixed to the end face of the rotating shaft 4 through the fixed ring 42. It should be noted that the fixed ring 42 is mounted on the end face of the rotating shaft 4 through a bolt, and the restrictor 41 is located between the fixed ring 42 and the rotating shaft 4. After the bolt is tightened, the restrictor 41 and the fixed ring 42 are fixed on the rotating shaft 4 together. When the restrictor 41 needs to be replaced due to wear, the fixed ring 42 can be removed, which is very convenient.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 4 In a possible implementation, the outer surface of the ball bracket 2 has an arc surface 25, the arc surface 25 is located below the ball head 3, and the two ends of the arc surface 25 are connected to the two fixed arms 21 respectively. It should be noted that when the ball head 3 is rotated downward to the limit position, the camera device will irradiate obliquely downward. The design of the arc surface 25 can still enable the camera device to irradiate on the ground smoothly, so as to avoid that the ball bracket 2 blocks the field of view of the camera device.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 1In a possible implementation, the fixed arm 21 is provided with an ear cover 7, and the ear cover 7 covers the components mounted on the fixed arm 21.
