Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of industrial camera technology, and in particular relates to an industrial camera with protective functions. Background Technology
[0002] Industrial cameras are commonly used image acquisition sensors in machine vision systems, and can be divided into two main categories: those based on CCD chips and those based on CMOS chips. Industrial cameras offer high image stability, fast data transmission speeds, and strong anti-interference capabilities, and are widely used in automated production scenarios for workpiece identification, inspection, and visual measurement to improve work efficiency and product quality.
[0003] Due to the precision of industrial cameras and the special nature of their lenses, they do not inherently possess dust and dirt protection capabilities. Therefore, industrial cameras need to be properly protected in dusty and dirty environments. Currently, most industrial cameras are protected by placing them in protective cases. However, when in use, it is inconvenient to take the industrial cameras out of the protective cases. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an industrial camera with protective function, which solves the problem that most existing industrial cameras are placed in protective cases for protection, but it is inconvenient to take them out when in use.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0006] This utility model relates to an industrial camera with protective functions, comprising a protective shell, an industrial camera body, and mating components. The inner bottom surface of the protective shell has a sliding groove. The mating components include a drive screw and a mounting plate. The drive screw is disposed within the sliding groove and rotatably connected to it. A threaded block, L-shaped, is threadedly connected to the circumference of the drive screw. One end of the threaded block is disposed within the sliding groove and slidably engages with it, while the other end is fixedly connected to a mating plate. The mating plate is disposed within the protective shell and slidably engages with it. Both sides of the upper surface of the mating plate have mating grooves. Both sides of the bottom surface of the mounting plate are fixedly connected to sliders, which are disposed within and slidably engage with the mating grooves. A mating serrated plate is fixedly connected to one side of each slider, positioned above the mating plate. Both sides of the upper surface of the mating plate are rotatably connected to mating gears, which mesh with the mating serrated plate.
[0007] A hinge seat is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the placement plate. The industrial camera body is disposed inside the protective shell and located above the placement plate. A mounting plate is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the industrial camera body. A connecting block is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the mounting plate. The connecting block is hinged to the hinge seat.
[0008] Both sides of the inner wall of the protective shell are fixedly connected with connecting serrated plates, which mesh with mating gears.
[0009] The connection between the connecting block and the hinge seat is provided with a fastening screw; by providing the fastening screw, the angle of the connection between the connecting block and the hinge seat can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the angle of the industrial camera body and improving the utilization efficiency of the industrial camera body.
[0010] Several heat dissipation fins are fixedly connected to the interior of one end of the protective shell, and the heat dissipation fins are disposed on one side of the industrial camera body; by setting the heat dissipation fins, the industrial camera body placed inside the protective shell can be assisted in heat dissipation.
[0011] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0012] This invention, by setting up a protective shell, connecting a serrated plate and a mating assembly, allows the industrial camera body to be moved out of the protective shell when the drive screw is rotated, causing the threaded block to slide in the groove. This, in turn, moves the mating plate and the placement plate. As the mating plate moves, the mating gear rotates under the action of the connecting serrated plate. The rotation of the mating gear, through the mating serrated plate, causes the placement plate to slide in the mating groove, thereby allowing the mating plate and the placement plate to move out of the protective shell simultaneously. This facilitates the use of the industrial camera body, and the structure is simple and easy to operate.
[0013] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description
