[0031] 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.

[0032] Reference Figure 1-6 A horizontal calibration frame for a thermal imaging array camera includes a camera body 1, a connecting plate 2 and a support ring 3. The connecting plate 2 is mounted on the upper side of the support ring 3, and the camera body 1 is located on the upper side of the connecting plate 2. It also includes a mounting plate 4, an A-adjustment block 5, a support unit 7, and an adjustment unit 8.

[0033] The support unit 7 is located below the support ring 3. The support unit 7 includes four main telescopic rods 71. The support ring 3 has four mounting slots on its upper side. The main telescopic rods 71 ​​can rotate inside the mounting slots. An auxiliary telescopic rod 72 is provided on one side of the main telescopic rod 71. A connecting ring 73 is installed on the outer side of the main telescopic rod 71. One end of the auxiliary telescopic rod 72 is rotatably connected to the lower side of the support ring 3, and the other end of the auxiliary telescopic rod 72 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the connecting ring 73. The main telescopic rods 71 ​​and the auxiliary telescopic rods 72 are clamped or released by the outer threaded sleeves. The telescopic length of the four main telescopic rods 71 ​​can be adjusted, and the angle of the main telescopic rods 71 ​​can be adjusted so that the auxiliary telescopic rods 72 can be adjusted together. At this time, the four main telescopic rods 71 ​​support the support ring 3, thereby supporting other components on the support ring 3. The auxiliary telescopic rods 72 can also provide auxiliary support for the main telescopic rods 71, improving the stability of the device.

[0034] The camera body 1 is mounted on the upper side of the mounting plate 4, which is located on the upper side of the connecting plate 2. A flexible protective cover is installed between the mounting plate 4 and the connecting plate 2 to protect the internal parts of the device and improve the service life of the device.

[0035] The upper side of the connecting plate 2 is provided with a through hole, the A adjusting block 5 is located inside the through hole, the A connecting block 6 is fixed on the upper side of the A adjusting block 5, and the A connecting block 6 is connected to the lower side of the mounting plate 4.

[0036] The adjustment unit 8 is located between the A adjustment block 5 and the connecting plate 2. The adjustment unit 8 includes four positioning rods 81. The A limiting ring 82 is rotatably mounted on the outside of the A adjustment block 5. The A limiting ring 82 is fixedly connected to the inside of the through hole. The upper side of the mounting plate 4 is provided with four mounting holes. The positioning rods 81 are located inside the mounting holes and on the upper side of the connecting plate 2. Two levels 85 are mounted on the upper side of the mounting plate 4. The two levels 85 are located on the left and right sides of the camera body 1. The levels 85 are trapezoidal and have a horizontal structure that displays two different directions. The two levels 85 can easily determine the horizontal state of the mounting plate 4. A counterweight 83 is mounted on the lower side of the A adjustment block 5. Under the action of the counterweight 83, a downward force is exerted on the A adjustment block 5, causing the A adjustment block 5 to rotate on the A limiting ring 82, so that the A adjustment block 5 is in a horizontal state. The A adjustment block 5 is adjusted together with the mounting plate 4, and the mounting plate 4 is better positioned horizontally with the camera. If necessary, the connecting plate 2 can be directly separated from the support ring 3, and then the connecting plate 2 can be installed in the designated position.

[0037] The positioning rod 81 is provided with an adjustment part 84 inside the mounting hole. The adjustment part 84 includes a B adjustment block 841. A B limit ring 842 is rotatably mounted on the outside of the B adjustment block 841. The B limit ring 842 is installed inside the mounting hole. A connecting hole is provided on the upper side of the B adjustment block 841. A threaded cylinder 843 is fixed inside the connecting hole. The positioning rod 81 and the inner side of the threaded cylinder 843 are connected by threaded engagement. After the mounting plate 4 is adjusted to a horizontal state, the positioning rod 81 can be adjusted to a vertical state through the B adjustment block 841 and the B limit ring 842. Then, in conjunction with the threaded cylinder 843, the positioning rod 81 is pressed against the connecting plate 2, preventing the mounting plate 4 from moving. The positioning rod 81 plays a limiting role on the mounting plate 4, allowing the device to be more stably in a horizontal position. If necessary, the position of the positioning rod 81 can be adjusted to adjust the mounting plate 4 to a suitable angle.
