Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a mounting bracket for a binocular camera, belonging to the technical field of mounting brackets. Specifically, it is an adjustable mounting bracket for a binocular camera that can be used for road damage monitoring. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of the transportation industry, the maintenance and management of road infrastructure has become crucial. Timely and accurate monitoring of road surface damage is of great significance for ensuring road safety, rationally arranging maintenance plans, and extending the service life of roads.
[0003] Currently, binocular cameras, as an advanced monitoring device, are widely used in road damage monitoring due to their advantages such as acquiring stereoscopic image information and accurately measuring object size and distance. By acquiring road images through binocular cameras and using image processing technology, damage conditions such as cracks and potholes in the road surface can be identified.
[0004] Existing mounting brackets often have significant limitations in angle adjustment. Many brackets can only be installed at a simple fixed angle, making it difficult to flexibly adjust the shooting angle of the binocular camera according to different road surface monitoring scenarios. Therefore, this paper proposes an adjustable mounting bracket for binocular cameras used in road surface damage monitoring to address the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and solve at least one of the technical problems mentioned in the background art, this utility model proposes an adjustable mounting bracket for a binocular camera that can be used for road damage monitoring.
[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: The adjustable mounting bracket for a binocular camera used for road damage monitoring includes a binocular camera body, a rotating mechanism is provided on both sides of the binocular camera body, a support platform is mounted below the binocular camera body and the support platform is used to fix the binocular camera body, a telescopic support mechanism is mounted below the support platform, and a buffer mechanism is mounted between the telescopic support mechanism and the support platform.
[0007] Specifically, in this solution, the binocular motor is mounted on a support platform and fixed to the road speed camera pole that needs to monitor road surface damage via a telescopic bracket mechanism, or mounted on a road sign frame for road monitoring. The binocular camera itself acquires road surface images, and image processing technology can be used to identify road surface damage such as cracks and potholes. A buffer mechanism is also set up to buffer the impact and prevent the shaking of the bracket during adjustment from affecting the image captured by the binocular camera.
[0008] Preferably, the rotating mechanism further includes a rotary drive motor, which is fixedly installed inside the rotating mechanism, and a fixing member is hinged to the drive shaft of the rotary drive motor.
[0009] Specifically, in this solution, the rotary motor can be a ZWMD model motor or other compatible motors to provide power output.
[0010] Preferably, the telescopic support mechanism further includes a pad adjustment assembly, which is horizontally positioned below the telescopic support mechanism. The upper part of the pad adjustment assembly has a sliding groove, and sliding components are slidably installed on both sides inside the sliding groove. The upper parts of the two sliding components are hinged to a fixed shaft assembly, which is arranged in a cross shape that can be rotatably positioned in the middle. A rotating component is connected to the upper part of the fixed shaft assembly.
[0011] Specifically, the telescopic support mechanism in this solution can raise or lower the entire binocular camera body, enabling fine-tuning of its height.
[0012] Preferably, the support platform further includes a shelf, with side plates fixedly connected to both sides of the shelf, and the side plates are used to fix the binocular camera body. A limiting plate is fixedly installed in front of the support platform, and the limiting plate is used to adjust the installation position of the binocular camera body.
[0013] Specifically, in this design, the shelf provides a support platform for the binocular motor body, making it convenient to place the binocular motor body.
[0014] Preferably, the buffer mechanism includes a first limiting rod, and elastic bands are elastically installed on both sides of the first limiting rod, and second limiting rods are elastically installed on the lower sides of the two elastic bands away from the first limiting rod.
[0015] Preferably, limit plates are fixedly installed on the lower sides of both sides of the side plate, and a stabilizing block and a moving block are provided between the limit plates and the side plate, and a baffle is fixedly installed between the front of the two limit plates.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0017] 1. This utility model provides an adjustable mounting bracket for a binocular camera used for road damage monitoring. The binocular camera body is adjusted by a rotating mechanism. When it is necessary to adjust the shooting angle of the binocular camera body during operation, the rotating mechanism can drive the binocular camera body to rotate together, thereby realizing the rotation adjustment of the binocular camera within a certain angle range to adapt to different road monitoring perspective requirements.
[0018] 2. The present invention provides an adjustable mounting bracket for a binocular camera used for road damage monitoring. By setting a telescopic bracket mechanism, the overall height of the binocular camera body can be raised or lowered to achieve fine adjustment. At the same time, a first limiting rod is installed on the buffer mechanism, and elastic bands are elastically installed on both sides of the first limiting rod. A second limiting rod is elastically installed below the two elastic bands away from the first limiting rod. In this scheme, the binocular motor is installed on the support platform and fixed to the road speed camera pole frame that needs to monitor road damage through the telescopic bracket mechanism, or installed on the road sign frame for monitoring the road. The buffer mechanism (4) is used for buffering and to avoid the shaking of the bracket during adjustment that affects the image captured by the binocular camera body (1). Attached Figure Description
