Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of visual inspection technology, specifically to a visual fusion camera device. Background Technology
[0002] This product is primarily used in port sites and other locations where video surveillance and radar monitoring are integrated. It is mainly suitable for situations with high vibration levels and both identification scanning and video monitoring requirements. Currently, most projects use video surveillance equipment to observe stable equipment operation or to monitor a stationary area in real time. Therefore, the structural strength and vibration resistance requirements of the monitoring equipment are not high in these cases, and there is no need for radar integration. Consequently, most monitoring equipment on the market commonly uses plastic, cold-rolled steel, or profile / bar materials for its casing, and the monitoring type is simply camera-based. However, in special cases, monitoring equipment needs to be installed in locations with high vibration, such as quay cranes or... The installation point of the bridge is located at the lower part of the large equipment and is connected to the traveling mechanism, where the vibration intensity and frequency are relatively high. Furthermore, this scenario requires accurate detection of the actual distance between obstacles and the traveling mechanism. Therefore, video surveillance alone cannot achieve the desired accuracy. Thus, it is necessary to integrate a built-in LiDAR with video surveillance, using internal algorithms to solve this problem. If commonly used monitoring equipment is used, its relatively thin casing material and structural design make it unsuitable for such high-vibration environments. Moreover, video surveillance products compatible with LiDAR are rare, and products that integrate both are even rarer. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a monitoring equipment casing that can operate stably in high-vibration environments and integrates visual and radar scanning. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings and deficiencies of the existing technology by providing a visual fusion camera device that is simple in structure, reasonable in design, and easy to use. The camera and lidar are integrated inside the device, and a safety chain is installed so that the device will not fall directly in the event of strong vibration, but will be suspended near the large machine, thus preventing personal injury and secondary damage to nearby equipment.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: it includes a shell and a mounting bracket, the shell is connected to the main machine by screws, the mounting bracket is disposed inside the shell, and the laser radar and video monitoring are both disposed on the mounting bracket;
[0005] Through the above technical solution design, the LiDAR and video surveillance are simultaneously fixed on a mounting bracket, which is installed inside the housing, thus achieving compatibility between the LiDAR and video surveillance.
[0006] As a further improvement of this utility model, a safety chain is flexibly provided on the lower side of the outer shell, and the other end of the safety chain is flexibly connected to the main machine.
[0007] The above technical solution design strengthens the connection between the outer shell and the main unit.
[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, a viewing window is provided on the front side of the outer shell, and the material of the viewing window is AR ultra-transparent glass.
[0009] With the above technical solution, the lidar and video surveillance are installed side by side, and the viewing window glass has no impact on the camera's imaging.
[0010] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The outer shell is made of aluminum alloy and is machined into three equal parts, which are then welded together using a beveled angle welding method. The lidar and video surveillance are fixed on a bracket, which is installed inside the outer shell. The lidar and video surveillance are installed side by side, sharing a common viewing window. The glass is made of AR ultra-transparent glass, which allows invisible light with a wavelength of 905nm to pass through without damage, and has no impact on the imaging of the video surveillance. An internal algorithm is added to achieve the integrated use of lidar and video surveillance. In extreme cases, when strong vibrations directly act on the equipment, the screws at the connection between the equipment and the main machine may come loose. A safety chain is designed on the outer shell. When the equipment falls, because the safety chain is also flexibly connected to the main machine, the equipment will not fall directly but will be suspended near the main machine, preventing personal injury and secondary damage to nearby equipment.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0012] 1. The outer shell is made of aluminum alloy, which is lightweight but strong. At the same time, the internal mounting bracket is made of sheet metal, which achieves the structural characteristics of lightweight and high strength.
[0013] 2. When fixing the lidar and video surveillance inside the casing, anti-loosening technology is used to ensure the stability of the whole machine during actual operation;
[0014] 3. In addition to the original screw fixing, a safety chain device has been added to the outer shell to provide a safety guarantee for the operation of lidar and video surveillance equipment. Attached Figure Description
