Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of camera technology, specifically a badminton competition eagle-eye camera with a clean lens structure. Background Technology
[0002] A webcam (also known as a computer camera, computer eye, or electronic eye) is a video input device that is widely used in video conferencing, telemedicine, and real-time monitoring. Ordinary people can also communicate with each other online using webcams, and eagle-eye webcams are more precise than ordinary cameras.
[0003] However, during badminton matches, due to the large number of people and the significant movement, dust easily accumulates on the lens of the Hawk-Eye camera. Over time, this can cause the lens to become blurry and the shooting effect to be poor. Existing Hawk-Eye cameras lack effective self-cleaning capabilities, which can affect the shooting quality to some extent during use. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this section is to outline some aspects of embodiments of the present invention and to briefly describe some preferred embodiments. Simplifications or omissions may be made in this section, as well as in the abstract and title of this application, to avoid obscuring the purpose of these documents; however, such simplifications or omissions should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention.
[0005] Given the above or existing technologies.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0007] A badminton competition hawk-eye camera with a clean lens structure includes a mounting cylinder. A high-definition sports camera is fixedly mounted on the front of the mounting cylinder. An outer protective ring is fixedly mounted on the outer side of the high-definition sports camera. A cover tube is movably mounted on the outer side of the outer protective ring. An electric push rod is fixedly mounted on the outer side of the cover tube. An outer plate is fixedly mounted on the output end of the electric push rod. A sliding connecting rod is movably mounted on the inner side of the outer plate and on the surface of the cover tube. An inner plate is fixedly connected to the inner end of the sliding connecting rod. A first drive motor is fixedly mounted on the surface of the inner plate. A conical sponge block is fixedly mounted on the output end of the first drive motor.
[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model: an irregularly shaped connecting rod is fixedly installed at the top end of the cover tube, and a connecting plate is fixedly installed at the other end of the irregularly shaped connecting rod.
[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model: a second drive motor is movably connected to the inner surface of the connecting plate, and the second drive motor is fixedly installed on the inner side of the protective block.
[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model: the protective block is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the mounting cylinder, and heat dissipation holes are provided on the back of the protective block.
[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model: microphones are fixedly installed on both sides of the mounting cylinder, and a perforated plate is fixedly installed on the front of the microphones.
[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a bottom fixing block is fixedly installed on the back side of the surface of the mounting cylinder, and a handle is fixedly connected to the outer side of the bottom fixing block.
[0013] As a further improvement of this utility model: a control button is fixedly installed on the surface of the grip, and a support rod is movably installed at the bottom of the grip.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0015] 1. This utility model controls the extension and retraction of the first drive motor and the conical sponge block on the inner plate surface through an electric push rod, allowing the conical sponge block to approach the lens of the high-definition action camera for cleaning. The second drive motor is responsible for adjusting the position of the connecting plate and the irregular connecting rod, so that the cover tube covers the outer protective ring when not in use, protecting the camera from dust contamination. When shooting or cleaning is required, the second drive motor moves the cover tube away to ensure that it does not affect the camera's line of sight. This design not only realizes the automatic cleaning function, but also provides effective physical protection, improving the long-term shooting quality and reliability of the high-definition action camera.
[0016] 2. This utility model extends the service life of the high-definition action camera by combining the cover tube and the outer protective ring, reducing the impact of dust and environmental factors; the first drive motor controlled by the electric push rod and the conical sponge block realize automatic cleaning without manual intervention, improving work efficiency and ensuring consistent shooting quality; the control buttons on the grip provide a convenient operating experience; the heat dissipation holes of the protective block optimize the internal heat dissipation performance, ensuring stable operation of the equipment; and the microphone and its perforated plate enhance the authenticity and integrity of video recording.

[0026] Example 1
[0027] Please see Figure 1-5This is the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides a badminton competition hawk-eye camera with a clean lens structure, including a mounting cylinder 1. A high-definition sports camera 2 is fixedly mounted on the front of the mounting cylinder 1. An outer protective ring 3 is fixedly mounted on the outer side of the high-definition sports camera 2. A cover tube 4 is movably mounted on the outer side of the outer protective ring 3. An electric push rod 5 is fixedly mounted on the outer side of the cover tube 4. An outer plate 6 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the electric push rod 5.

An inner plate 8 is fixedly connected to the inner end of the sliding connecting rod 7. A first drive motor 9 is fixedly mounted on the surface of the inner plate 8. A conical sponge block 10 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the first drive motor 9.
[0028] Specifically, a special-shaped connecting rod 11 is fixedly installed at the top of the cover tube 4, and a connecting plate 12 is fixedly installed at the other end of the special-shaped connecting rod 11.
[0029] Furthermore, the irregularly shaped connecting rod 11 can connect the cover tube 4 and the connecting plate 12 to ensure stable linkage between the two.
[0030] Specifically, a second drive motor is movably connected to the inner surface of the rotating plate 12, and the second drive motor is fixedly installed on the inner side of the protective block 13.
[0031] Furthermore, the position of the rotating plate 12 and the cover tube 4 can be controlled by the second drive motor to switch between shooting and cleaning modes.
[0032] Specifically, the protective block 13 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the mounting cylinder 1, and heat dissipation holes 14 are provided on the back of the protective block 13.
[0033] Furthermore, the second drive motor can be fixed by the protective block 13, and the heat dissipation hole 14 can enhance the heat dissipation performance inside the equipment.
[0034] Example 2
[0035] Please see Figure 1-5 This is the second embodiment of the present utility model.
[0036] Specifically, microphones 15 are fixedly installed on both sides of the mounting cylinder 1, and a perforated plate 16 is fixedly installed on the front of the microphones 15.
[0037] Furthermore, the microphone 15 can capture the sound of the competition, enhancing the authenticity and integrity of the video recording.
[0038] Specifically, a bottom fixing block 17 is fixedly installed on the back side of the surface of the mounting cylinder 1, and a handle 18 is fixedly connected to the outside of the bottom fixing block 17.
