Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model patent relates to detection equipment, and more particularly to a bridge detection image acquisition terminal. Background Technology
[0002] When inspecting the bottom of a bridge, cameras are typically used as the inspection endpoints. For example, CN115086569A discloses a method for acquiring images of the bottom of a large bridge based on a network of cameras, which involves setting up several cameras along the inspection beams of the bridge to take pictures of the bridge bottom. However, existing camera devices are all single cameras with a small shooting range, requiring many camera installation points. Each installation requires adjustments to the lens angle, etc. Each camera also requires a storage module and a wireless transmission module, as well as a laser rangefinder to detect the distance between the camera and the bridge bottom to determine the size of cracks and other defects, and supplementary lighting to ensure clear images. This makes the installation cumbersome and costly, thus requiring improvement. Utility Model Content
[0003] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model proposes a bridge detection image acquisition terminal.
[0004] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0005] A bridge inspection image acquisition terminal includes a camera module connected to a data processing module. The camera module includes a left camera and a right camera, both of which are tilted outwards and have overlapping areas in their imaging ranges. Fill lights are distributed around the outer periphery of both the left and right cameras.
[0006] In a further improvement, the data processing module includes a housing, inside which a circuit board electrically connected to the left and right cameras is installed. The circuit board is equipped with a storage chip and a wireless transmission chip.
[0007] In a further improvement, the camera module and the data processing module are detachably connected via screws.
[0008] As a further improvement, the camera module and the data processing module are provided with reinforcing ribs on their outer periphery.
[0009] As a further improvement, four fill lights are evenly distributed around the outer periphery of both the left and right cameras.
[0010] As a further improvement, a dovetail mounting block is formed at the bottom of the data processing module, and the dovetail mounting block can be detachably fixed to the mounting base.
[0011] In a further improvement, the fixing seat includes a fixing seat body and a fixing block. The fixing seat body and the fixing block are spliced together to form a dovetail groove that mates with the dovetail mounting block. The fixing seat body and the fixing block are detachably connected by bolts.
[0012] The advantages of this utility model are as follows:
[0013] This invention combines two cameras to form a camera module, which expands the field of view of each image acquisition point, reduces the number of image acquisition points required for bridge inspection, and reduces the number of storage and wireless transmission devices. It also eliminates the need for additional lighting and improves installation and debugging efficiency. Attached Figure Description
[0014] The present invention will be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the content of the drawings does not constitute any limitation on the present invention.
[0015] Figure 1 This is a side view of the structure of this utility model.
[0016] Figure 2 This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of the present invention. Detailed Implementation
[0017] To make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.
[0018] Example 1
[0019] like Figure 1 The aforementioned bridge inspection image acquisition terminal includes a camera module 1, a left camera 11, a right camera 12, a data processing module 2, a camera overlap area 3, a supplementary light 4, a housing 5, screws 6, reinforcing ribs 7, a dovetail mounting block 8, a fixing seat 9, a fixing seat body 91, a fixing block 92, a dovetail groove 93, and bolts 94.
[0020] The left camera 11 and the right camera 12 are combined to form a camera module 1, both of which are tilted outwards, and the camera ranges of the left camera 11 and the right camera 12 have an overlapping area 3. This allows it to be installed at a single detection point, which expands the detection range compared to the original single camera, thereby reducing the number of detection points that need to be installed and the number of ranging devices that need to be set up.
[0021] The data processing module 2 includes a housing 5, inside which a circuit board electrically connected to the left camera 11 and the right camera 12 is installed. The circuit board is equipped with a storage chip and a wireless transmission chip, which are existing technologies and will not be described in detail.
[0022] The camera module 1 is connected to the data processing module 2 via a detachable connection, so that the camera module 1 can be replaced in a timely manner if it is damaged.
[0023] Four fill lights 4 are evenly distributed around the outer periphery of both the left camera 11 and the right camera 12, thus eliminating the need for additional fill light installation and adjustment.
[0024] For ease of installation, the data processing module 2 has a dovetail mounting block 8 at its bottom, which can be detachably fixed to the mounting base 9. The mounting base 9 includes a mounting base body 91 and a fixing block 92. The mounting base body 91 and the fixing block 92 are joined to form a dovetail groove 93 that mates with the dovetail mounting block 8. The mounting base body 91 and the fixing block 92 are detachably connected by bolts 94. The mounting base body 91 is fixed at the detection point. Thus, the image acquisition terminal is placed on the mounting base body 91, and then the fixing block 92 is fixed, and the installation of the image acquisition terminal can be quickly completed by using the bolts 94.
[0025] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solution of this utility model.
