[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, 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 embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for explaining the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model; that is, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present utility model described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.
[0021] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0022] The following is combined with Figure 1-3 This invention describes a specific embodiment of an adaptive video boom adjustment structure, comprising a base 1, a main boom 2 rotatably connected to the base 1 at one end, a secondary boom 3 telescopically connected within the main boom 2, and a camera 4 mounted on the secondary boom 3. The base 1 is fixedly mounted on a dredging machine. The hinged connection between the base 1 and the main boom 2 allows for adjustment of the angle and height between the main boom 2 and the dredging machine. The telescopic connection of the secondary boom 3 within the main boom 2 allows for changing the extension length of the secondary boom 3 head on the main boom 2, adapting to the actual shooting requirements of dredging scenarios. The camera 4 can adaptively adjust its angle and height. The camera 4 includes a mounting plate 40 fixedly mounted on the first end of the secondary boom 3 away from the main boom 2. The mounting plate 40 has a mounting groove 41, within which a first camera 42 and a second camera are movably connected. The head 43, wherein the auxiliary arm 3 is fixedly provided with a mounting groove 41 for connecting the first camera 42 and the second camera 43. The mounting positions of the first camera 42 and the second camera 43 in the mounting groove 41 can be finely adjusted. In adjusting the positions of the first camera 42 and the second camera 43, on the one hand, the shooting angle can be changed to meet the shooting angle requirements of different shooting scenarios. On the other hand, since the top of the dredging machine has an embedding groove for mounting the arm assembly, the first camera 42 cannot be embedded and retracted into the embedding mounting groove 41 on the top of the dredging machine because its width exceeds the length of the auxiliary arm 3 in actual operation. By controlling the mounting position of the first camera 42 in the mounting groove 41, through its movable connection with the mounting groove 41, it can be moved and retracted to the side closer to the main arm 2, so as to avoid it exceeding the total length of the auxiliary arm 3 and being unable to retract into the embedding groove of the dredging machine.
[0023] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 1As shown, a first hydraulic cylinder 11 is fixedly provided on the base 1. The output end of the first hydraulic cylinder 11 is hinged to the main arm 2. The first hydraulic cylinder 11 is used to drive the main arm 2 to rotate along the base 1.
[0024] In the first embodiment where the main arm 2 and the auxiliary arm 3 are movably connected, please refer to... Figure 2 As shown, the main arm 2 is provided with a plurality of limiting holes 21 at equal intervals, and the auxiliary arm 3 is provided with alignment holes that are adapted to the limiting holes 21. The limiting holes 21 are provided with limiting bolts 22 that pass through one of the limiting holes 21 and the alignment hole simultaneously. By moving one of the limiting holes 21 and the alignment hole on the auxiliary arm 3 to the same diameter, and simultaneously inserting pins or other bolts, the locking of the main arm 2 and the auxiliary arm 3 after manual adjustment of their relative positions can be achieved.
[0025] This embodiment is preferred; please refer to [the specific example]. Figure 2 As shown, the limiting hole 21 is a threaded hole, and the limiting bolt 22 is threadedly engaged with the threaded hole. The limiting bolt 22 is threadedly engaged in the limiting hole 21, and the limiting bolt 22 is simultaneously passed through the alignment hole on the auxiliary arm 3. It should be noted that one part of the limiting bolt 22 is the thread that engages with the limiting hole 21, and the other part is the optical axis that passes through the alignment hole on the auxiliary arm 3, so as to limit the relative position between the main arm 2 and the auxiliary arm 3.
[0026] In the second embodiment where the main arm 2 and the auxiliary arm 3 are movably connected, please refer to... Figures 1-2 As shown, a second hydraulic cylinder (not shown) is fixedly installed inside the main boom 2. The output end of the second hydraulic cylinder is fixedly connected to one end of the auxiliary boom 3. The second hydraulic cylinder is a conventional technology. Its fixed end is fixedly connected to the inside of the main boom 2, and its output end is connected to one end of the auxiliary boom 3. The operation of the second hydraulic cylinder drives the extension and retraction of the auxiliary boom 3 inside the main boom 2, thereby realizing automatic adjustment between the main boom 2 and the auxiliary boom 3.
[0027] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3As shown, a first mounting groove 411 and a second mounting groove 412 are formed in the mounting groove 41. The first mounting groove 411 and the second mounting groove 412 are interconnected and form an included angle. A locking bolt 421 is threadedly connected to the bottom of the first camera 42. The locking bolt 421 is used to clamp and lock the first camera 42 in the first mounting groove 411. The first mounting groove 411 and the second mounting groove 412 are used for the installation of the first camera 42 and the second camera 43, respectively, so that the first camera 42 and the second camera 43 are used for photography in different areas. In the installation of the first camera 42, the locking bolt 421 is threadedly engaged with the bottom of the first camera 42. The locking bolt 421 and the bottom of the first camera 42 are clamped on the mounting plate 40. Since the bottom of the first camera 42 and the locking bolt 421 are threadedly engaged, the distance between the bottom of the first camera 42 and the locking bolt 421 can be reduced by rotating the thread, so that the first camera 42 is clamped and fixed to the mounting plate 40 and is confined within the first mounting groove 411, which can realize the adjustability of the photography area of the first camera 42.
[0028] In other embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 As shown, the bottom of the second camera 43 is threaded with a sliding plate 433, which is slidably connected in the second mounting groove 412. The second camera 43 can be slidably connected in the second mounting groove 412 by means of the sliding plate 433. By sliding the sliding plate 433, the specific position of the second camera 43 in the second mounting groove 412 can be adjusted to ensure that the recovery arm assembly can be perfectly embedded in the embedding groove opened on the top of the dredging machine.
[0029] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 As shown, a hinge seat 431 is fixedly provided on the mounting plate 40, and an electric telescopic rod 432 is hinged on the hinge seat 431. A sliding plate 433 is connected to the output end of the electric telescopic rod 432. During the sliding adjustment of the second camera 43 along the second mounting groove 412, the sliding plate 433 is slid along the second mounting groove 412 by driving the electric telescopic rod 432, so as to realize the adjustment of the position of the second camera 43 within the second mounting groove 412.
[0030] Working principle of this utility model:
[0031] The base 1 is fixedly connected to the top of the dredging machine, and the telescopic length between the main arm 2 and the auxiliary arm 3 is adjusted according to the location of the photography area;
