Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of camera technology, specifically to a low-temperature adaptive freezer camera. Background Technology

[0002] Freezers, also called cold boxes, are devices used to preserve food and other items at low temperatures. They are divided into household and commercial types. Commercial freezers are used in restaurants, bars, food processing plants, and supermarkets. For example, a representative commercial freezer is a retail freezer, which is equipped with a camera inside. Through the camera, it can monitor whether customers are buying goods, realizing unmanned vending.

[0003] Because this camera is used in a low-temperature environment, the large temperature difference between the inside and outside of the casing causes moisture to form on the inner wall of the casing. A large amount of moisture will accumulate into small water droplets and fall onto the camera body, which can cause short circuits and reduce the lifespan of the camera. It cannot adapt to low-temperature environments on its own. Therefore, a low-temperature adaptive freezer camera is needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the aforementioned background technology and provide a low-temperature adaptive freezer camera.

[0005] The system includes a camera body and a housing assembly enclosing the camera body. The housing assembly includes a base and an outer shell disposed on one side of the base. A cleaning structure is provided between the base and the outer shell.

[0006] The cleaning structure includes a rotating component mounted on the base and a wiping component mounted on the inner wall of the housing, the rotating component and the wiping component being connected to each other.

[0007] Furthermore, the wiping assembly includes a heating element connected to the rotating assembly and a wiping element connected to the heating element, with one side of the wiping element adhering to the inner wall of the housing.

[0008] Furthermore, the heating element and the wiping element are connected by Velcro.

[0009] Furthermore, the heating element is configured as a heater, and the wiping element is configured as a water-absorbing structure.

[0010] Furthermore, the rotating assembly includes a motor mounted on one side of the base and a turntable located on the other side of the base. One end of the motor output is connected to the turntable, and the camera body is mounted on one side of the turntable.

[0011] Furthermore, the base has a rotating hole at the position of the motor output end, and the motor output end is connected to the base through a bearing.

[0012] Furthermore, a connecting rod is fixed to the outside of the turntable.

[0013] Furthermore, the two ends of the connecting rod are respectively connected to the rotating assembly and the wiping assembly.

[0014] Furthermore, one end of the outer casing is threadedly connected to the base via an annular threaded block.

[0015] Furthermore, the outer shell is provided with ventilation holes.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: By using the rotating component and the wiping component, when small water droplets are generated on the inner wall of the outer shell, the rotating component drives the wiping component to rotate, so that the wiping component wipes the water droplets on the inner wall of the outer shell. In the process of the motor driving the turntable to rotate, the turntable will drive the heating element to rotate along the center point of the turntable, so that the wiping component on the heating element wipes the water droplets. Moreover, the heating element can heat the wiping component to evaporate the moisture in the wiping component, preventing the wiping component from being unable to continue to absorb water droplets, so that water droplets can be removed in time when they are generated on the inner wall of the outer shell.

[0029] Referring now to specific embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Although the present invention will be described in conjunction with specific embodiments, it will be understood that it is not intended to limit the present invention to the described embodiments. Rather, it is intended to cover variations, modifications, and equivalents included within the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claims. It should be noted that the method steps described herein can be implemented by any functional block or functional arrangement, and any functional block or functional arrangement can be implemented as a physical entity or a logical entity, or a combination of both.

[0030] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0031] Note: The examples described below are merely specific examples and are not intended to limit the embodiments of this utility model to the specific steps, values, conditions, data, order, etc. Those skilled in the art can utilize the concept of this utility model to construct more embodiments not mentioned herein by reading this specification.

[0032] Because this camera is used in a low-temperature environment, the large temperature difference between the inside and outside of the casing causes moisture to form on the inner wall of the casing. A large amount of moisture will accumulate into small water droplets and fall onto the camera body, which can cause short circuits and reduce the lifespan of the camera. It cannot adapt to low-temperature environments on its own. Therefore, a low-temperature adaptive freezer camera is needed to solve the above problems.

[0033] To address the problems of the aforementioned cameras, this invention proposes a low-temperature adaptive freezer camera.

[0034] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The system includes a camera body 8 and a housing assembly enclosing the camera body 8. The housing assembly includes a base 1 and an outer shell 7 disposed on one side of the base 1. A cleaning structure is provided between the base 1 and the outer shell 7. The cleaning structure includes a rotating component disposed on the base 1 and a wiping component disposed on the inner wall of the outer shell 7. The rotating component and the wiping component are connected to each other. The wiping component includes a heating element 5 connected to the rotating component and a wiping element 6 connected to the heating element 5. One side of the wiping element 6 is attached to the inner wall of the outer shell 7. The rotating component includes a motor 2 installed on one side of the base 1 and a turntable 3 disposed on the other side of the base 1. One end of the output end of the motor 2 is connected to the turntable 3. The camera body 8 is installed on one side of the turntable 3.

[0035] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the base 1 and the outer shell 7 are connected to each other. The base 1 has a disc structure, while the outer shell 7 has a bullet structure. After one end of the outer shell 7 is connected to the base 1, the outer shell 7 forms a closed structure, thereby installing the camera body 8 inside the outer shell 7 and the base 1, which can enclose the camera body 8 and place the camera body 8 in a closed space. When water droplets form on the inner wall of the outer shell 7, the rotating component drives the wiping component to rotate, so that the wiping component continuously wipes the inner wall of the outer shell 7, wiping away the water droplets formed on the inner wall of the outer shell 7. At the same time, the outer shell 7 provides low-temperature protection for the camera body 8 and removes the formed water droplets.

[0036] Specifically, the rotating assembly mainly includes a motor 2 and a turntable 3, and the wiping assembly mainly includes a heating element 5 and a wiping element 6. The motor 2 and the turntable 3 are respectively set on both sides of the turntable 3, and the output end of the motor 2 is connected to the turntable 3 to ensure that the motor 2 can drive the turntable 3 to rotate. At the same time, the turntable 3 is connected to the heating element 5. While the turntable 3 is rotating, it will drive the heating element 5 to rotate around the center point of the turntable 3. Meanwhile, the wiping element 6 on the heating element 5 wipes the water droplets on the inner wall of the outer shell 7, and the heating element 5 can dry the wiping element 6 to ensure that the wiping element 6 can wipe the water droplets on the outer shell 7 at all times.

[0037] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 The heating element 5 and the wiping element 6 are connected by Velcro.

[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the heating element 5 and the wiping element 6 are connected by Velcro, which ensures that the two can be disassembled and installed. The Velcro is male and female respectively, which are set on the heating element 5 and the wiping element 6 to achieve the effect of disassembly and installation, and facilitate the replacement of the wiping element 6.

[0039] Please continue reading. Figure 1 and Figure 3 The heating element 5 is configured as a heater, and the wiping element 6 is configured as a water-absorbing structure.

[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the heating element 5 is a strip-shaped heater (PTC semiconductor heater), while the wiping element 6 can be a water-absorbing structure including but not limited to cloth, sponge, etc. The heater's wire is located in the middle of the turntable 3 and finally extends to the outside through the center point of the motor 2 shaft for easy power supply.

[0041] Please see Figure 1 The base 1 has a rotating hole at the output end of the motor 2, and the output end of the motor 2 is connected to the base 1 through a bearing.

[0042] like Figure 1As shown, a rotating hole is opened on one side of the base 1, and a bearing is laid on the inner wall of the rotating hole. At the same time, the output end of the motor 2 is located inside the bearing to ensure that the output end of the motor 2 rotates more smoothly.

[0043] Please continue reading. Figure 1 and Figure 3 A connecting rod 4 is fixed to the outside of the turntable 3, and the two ends of the connecting rod 4 are respectively connected to the rotating component and the wiping component.

[0044] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the turntable 3 and the heating element 5 are connected by a connecting rod 4, which ensures that the heating element 5 rotates during the rotation of the turntable 3.

[0045] Please see Figure 1 One end of the outer casing 7 is threaded to the base 1 via a ring-shaped threaded block.

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, the base 1 has an annular threaded groove at the position of the outer shell 7, and one end of the outer shell 7 is provided with an annular threaded block, so that the base 1 and the outer shell 7 can be detached and replaced when the wiping part 6 needs to be replaced.

[0047] Please continue reading. Figure 1 Ventilation holes are provided on the outside of the outer casing 7.

[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, the gas generated during heating and drying can be discharged through the vent.

[0049] When using this utility model, when water droplets are generated on the inner wall of the outer shell 7, the motor 2 drives the turntable 3 to rotate, which in turn drives the heating element 5 to rotate, so that the wiping element 6 on the heating element 5 wipes the water droplets on the outer shell 7. The heating element 5 can heat the wiping element 6 to ensure that the wiping element 6 is always dry when wiping the outer shell 7.
