Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of freezer camera technology, specifically to a photovoltaic-powered freezer camera and a commercial freezer. Background Technology

[0002] Smart cameras for freezers are used to photograph the product displays in commercial freezers to determine product purity, that is, to count the number of products in the freezer, thereby using this information to count beverage sales. This is an important reference for brand manufacturers in marketing and understanding consumer behavior.

[0003] Most of the power supplies for existing freezer cameras on the market are either connected to the freezer's power supply, have their own built-in battery, or are connected to both the freezer's power supply and have a built-in battery. However, connecting to the freezer's power supply not only involves long power lines and makes it difficult to draw power, but also affects the freezer's normal power supply and does not comply with relevant regulations. The battery capacity of built-in batteries cannot support the device for long-term use, resulting in a reduced user experience for the freezer smart camera. Utility Model Content

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0040] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0041] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0042] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, this embodiment provides a photovoltaic-powered freezer camera, including a mounting base 100, a camera assembly 200, and a photovoltaic panel 300 capable of operating using a cold light source; one side of the mounting base 100 has a first mounting groove 110 for mounting the camera assembly 200, and the other side of the mounting base 100 has a second mounting groove 120 for mounting the photovoltaic panel 300, the first mounting groove 110 and the second mounting groove 120 are connected; the photovoltaic panel 300 is electrically connected to the camera assembly 200; a fixing member 130 is provided on the outer side of the mounting base 100 to allow the mounting base 100 to be mounted on a freezer.

[0043] Specifically, the photovoltaic panel 300 is installed in the second mounting slot 120 of the mounting base 100, and the camera assembly 200 is installed in the first mounting slot 110 of the mounting base 100. The photovoltaic panel 300 and the camera assembly 200 are electrically connected. Before use, the staff fixes the photovoltaic-powered freezer camera to the freezer door using the fastener 130. The photovoltaic panel 300 generates electricity using the built-in light strip inside the commercial freezer, and then supplies the generated electricity to the camera assembly 200 to ensure the normal operation of the camera assembly 200. Thus, during use, the camera assembly 200 can be continuously powered by the light strip inside the commercial freezer, without the need for an external power cord to power the photovoltaic-powered freezer camera.

[0044] Among them, the photovoltaic panel 300 adopts an amorphous silicon solar panel. By setting the amorphous silicon solar panel, the light strip on the transparent freezer door of the commercial freezer can drive the photovoltaic panel 300 to work, thereby providing power to the camera component 200.

[0045] It should be noted that the fastener 130 uses an adhesive layer, which is fixed to the outside of the mounting base 100 by means of adhesive backing. When it is necessary to attach the mounting base 100 to the freezer door, the staff can simply peel off the protective layer of the adhesive layer and then align the side of the mounting base 100 where the photovoltaic panel 300 is installed with the light strip on the freezer door.

[0046] In addition, the first mounting groove 110 and the second mounting groove 120 are provided with a receiving groove 170 for accommodating wires. By setting the receiving groove 170, the wires on the back of the photovoltaic panel 300 in the second mounting groove 120 can be coiled in the receiving groove 170, and the wires can pass through the receiving groove 170 and be electrically connected to the camera assembly 200 in the first mounting groove 110.

[0047] See Figure 1 - Figure 7 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the camera assembly 200 includes a camera module 210 and a battery module 220; the camera module 210 and the battery module 220 are detachably connected.

[0048] Specifically, the camera assembly 200 includes a camera module 210 and a battery module 220. The camera module 210 and the battery module 220 are detachably connected, and the staff can select the appropriate camera module 210 and battery module 220 according to actual needs.

[0049] See Figure 1 - Figure 7 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the mounting base 100 is provided with a first mounting seat 140 and a second mounting seat 150 at both ends of the first mounting groove 110; one of the camera module 210 and the battery module 220 is mounted on the first mounting seat 140 and the other is mounted on the second mounting seat 150.

[0050] The first mounting base 140 is provided with a connecting bolt 141, and the second mounting base 150 is provided with a cross groove 151; one of the camera module 210 and the battery module 220 is provided with a straight protrusion 230 for cooperating with the cross groove 151 at its end, and the other is provided with a threaded connection hole 240.

[0051] Specifically, during installation, depending on the orientation of the camera module 210, the operator inserts one end of the protrusion 230 of the camera assembly into the cross groove 151, so that the protrusion 230 engages with one groove in the cross groove 151. When engaging with the other groove in the cross groove 151, the camera module 210 will face the other side. Then, the threaded connection hole 240 is aligned with the first mounting base 140, and the first mounting base 140 and the threaded connection hole 240 are connected using the connecting bolt 141.

[0052] See Figure 1 - Figure 7 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the camera assembly 200 is provided with an alignment indicator 250 corresponding to a raised section 230.

[0053] The second mounting base 150 is provided with two rotation direction indicator marks 160 corresponding to the cross slots 151.

[0054] Specifically, during the installation of the camera assembly 200, by aligning the indicator mark 250 with the two rotation direction indicators 160, the camera assembly 200 can be installed facing either the left or the right, thus enabling the photovoltaic-powered freezer camera to adapt to commercial freezers with different left and right opening doors.

[0055] This embodiment provides a commercial freezer, including a photovoltaic-powered freezer camera.

[0056] Specifically, the commercial freezer provided in this embodiment has the advantages of the aforementioned photovoltaic-powered freezer camera compared to the prior art, which will not be elaborated here.

[0057] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
