Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of surveillance technology, and more specifically, to a rainproof outdoor surveillance camera. Background Technology
[0002] A surveillance camera is an electronic device used to capture and record images of a specific area in real time, and is widely used in the field of security monitoring. It captures images through a lens, converts them into digital signals, and transmits them to storage or display devices, helping users remotely view the monitored area. Modern surveillance cameras possess intelligent features such as high-definition resolution, night vision, motion detection, and facial recognition. Some also support remote control, cloud storage, and alarm linkage, and can be deployed in environments such as homes, commercial spaces, and major traffic arteries.
[0003] Traditional surveillance cameras typically have a sunshade or rain cover mounted on top of the unit for sun or rain protection. However, when the unit is tilted to face the ground, the sunshade and the unit itself are at an angle. Rainwater flowing along the sunshade will pass in front of the forming mechanism, obstructing its operation and affecting its normal function. Furthermore, the angle between the sunshade and the unit cannot be adjusted during use, making it impossible to guide the rainwater flowing on top of the sunshade. Therefore, this application proposes a new solution. Utility Model Content

However, when the unit is adjusted to face the ground, the shield and the unit are tilted, and rainwater flowing along the shield will pass in front of the forming mechanism, obstructing it and affecting its normal operation. Moreover, the angle between the shield and the unit cannot be adjusted during use, and the rainwater flowing on the top of the shield cannot be guided.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0018] In the scheme of this application:
[0019] 1. By setting up a water collection tank, a first guide channel and a second guide channel, when the shield and the body are in an inclined state facing the ground, the rainwater flowing along the top of the shield will flow into the interior of the water collection tank for collection, and then be guided to the sides of the shield for discharge through the first guide channel and the second guide channel, so as to avoid the rainwater on the top of the shield from passing in front of the imaging mechanism, causing it to be blocked and affecting its normal operation;

[0034] like Figures 1-6 As shown, this embodiment proposes a rainproof outdoor surveillance camera, including a body 1 and an adjustable wall mount 2 installed on the back of the body 1:
[0035] An imaging mechanism 5 is installed through the front of the body 1. A shield 3 is rotatably installed on the outside of the body 1. Two sliding rails 11 are symmetrically installed on the top of the inner wall of the shield 3. An extension plate 7 is slidably installed between the two sliding rails 11. A drive mechanism 10 for driving the extension plate 7 is installed inside the shield 3. A flow guiding mechanism 6 is installed on the outside of the shield 3.
[0036] The flow guiding mechanism 6 includes a water collection trough 601 installed on the top of the shield 3. A first flow guiding channel 602 and a second flow guiding channel 603 are respectively connected to the two sides of the water collection trough 601. The first flow guiding channel 602 and the second flow guiding channel 603 are respectively installed on the two side walls of the shield 3. By setting the water collection trough 601, the first flow guiding channel 602 and the second flow guiding channel 603, when the shield 3 and the body 1 are in an inclined state towards the ground, the rainwater flowing along the top of the shield 3 will flow into the interior of the water collection trough 601 for collection, and then be guided to the two sides of the shield 3 through the first flow guiding channel 602 and the second flow guiding channel 603 for discharge. This prevents the rainwater on the top of the shield 3 from passing in front of the imaging mechanism 5, causing it to be blocked and affecting its normal operation.
[0037] A lifting mechanism 4 is installed on the side wall of the body 1 to drive the shield 3 to rotate. The two ends of the lifting mechanism 4 are rotatably connected to the shield 3 and the body 1, respectively. By setting up the shield 3 and the lifting mechanism 4, when the rain-draining mechanism 6 cannot divert all the rainwater in heavy rain, the lifting mechanism 4 can lift the end of the shield 3 near the imaging mechanism 5, adjust the angle between the body 1 and the shield 3, and guide the rainwater flowing on the top of the shield 3 to a position closer to the adjustable wall mount 2. At the same time, the shield 3 and the lifting mechanism 4 can also work with the extension plate 7 to adjust the degree of light blocking of the imaging mechanism 5 during use, thereby avoiding excessive light from affecting the imaging mechanism 5.
[0038] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, the imaging mechanism 5 further includes a supplementary light 501 mounted on the front of the body 1. A high-definition camera 502 and an infrared imager 503 are mounted on the inner side of the supplementary light 501 and mounted on the body 1. A main control board and wiring are installed inside the body 1 to cooperate with the supplementary light 501, the high-definition camera 502, and the infrared imager 503. It should be noted that the supplementary light 501 can provide supplementary lighting for the high-definition camera 502 and the infrared imager 503, and the high-definition camera 502 and the infrared imager 503 can perform imaging and temperature measurement. The main control board and guide facilitate convenient use with the supplementary light 501, the high-definition camera 502, and the infrared imager 503.
[0039] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, an exhaust fan 9 is further installed through the bottom of the body 1, and an air intake window 8 is provided on one side of the exhaust fan 9, which is installed through the bottom of the body 1. A filter screen 12 is installed inside the air intake window 8. It should be noted that during use, the exhaust fan 9 can exhaust the air inside the body 1, allowing fresh air from the outside to enter the body 1, thereby dissipating heat from the inside of the body 1. The filter screen 12 can filter the air entering the body 1, preventing dust from entering the body 1.
[0040] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, the shield 3 further includes a first side plate 301. A top plate 302 and a second side plate 303, located on both sides of the body 1, are symmetrically mounted on the bottom of the first side plate 301. A mounting shaft 304 connects the top plate 302 and the second side plate 303, passing through the body 1 and rotatably connected to it. It should be noted that, during use, the mounting shaft 304 allows the first side plate 301, top plate 302, and second side plate 303 to be rotatably mounted on the outside of the body 1.
[0041] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, the drive mechanism 10 further includes a motor 101 mounted on the inner wall of the body 1 and a rack 102 mounted on the bottom of the extension plate 7. The output end of the motor 101 is equipped with a gear 103 that cooperates with the rack 102. It should be noted that, during use, starting the motor 101 can push the extension plate 7 out of the interior of the shield 3 through the rack 102 and the gear 103, thereby increasing the light-shielding range of the shield 3.
[0042] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, the lifting mechanism 4 further includes an electric push rod 401. The two ends of the electric push rod 401 are respectively connected to a first rotary joint 402 and a second rotary joint 403. The first rotary joint 402 and the second rotary joint 403 are respectively installed on the side walls of the body 1 and the shield 3. It should be noted that during use, the electric push rod 401 can lift one end of the shield 3. The first rotary joint 402 and the second rotary joint 403 facilitate the rotary connection between the electric push rod 401 and the body 1 and the adjustable wall mount 2.
[0043] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, the adjustable wall mount 2 further includes a connecting rod fixedly connected to the back of the body 1. A first connecting frame is rotatably connected to the outer side of the connecting rod, and a second connecting frame is rotatably connected to the outer side of the first connecting frame. A base is fixedly connected to the end of the second connecting frame away from the first connecting frame. It should be noted that through the cooperation of the connecting rod, the first connecting frame, the second connecting frame, and the base, the body 1 can be adjusted to any angle.
[0044] Specifically, the working principle of this rainproof outdoor monitoring camera is as follows: When the shield 3 and the body 1 are tilted towards the ground, the rainwater flowing along the top of the shield 3 will flow into the inside of the water collection tank 601 for collection, and then be guided to the sides of the shield 3 through the first guide channel 602 and the second guide channel 603 to discharge, preventing the rainwater on the top of the shield 3 from passing in front of the high-definition camera 502 and the infrared imager 503 and causing obstruction to both. When the guide mechanism 6 cannot guide all the rainwater in heavy rain, the lifting mechanism 4 can lift the end of the shield 3 closest to the imaging mechanism 5, adjusting the angle between the body 1 and the shield 3, thereby guiding the rainwater flowing on the top of the shield 3 towards the position close to the adjustable wall mount 2. At the same time, the shield 3 and the lifting mechanism 4 can also work with the extension plate 7 to adjust the degree of light blocking of the imaging mechanism 5 during use, thereby avoiding excessive light from affecting the imaging mechanism 5. During use, the high-definition camera 502 and the infrared imager 503 can be used for monitoring and temperature measurement.
[0045] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present utility model and are not intended to limit the technical solutions described in the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, the present utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. Therefore, any modifications or equivalent substitutions to the present utility model, and all technical solutions and improvements that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the invention, are covered within the scope of the claims of the present utility model.
