[0002] Forest fires are one of the natural disasters that pose a serious threat to the ecological environment and human life and property.

[0003] In forest fire early warning systems, tower camera devices are a crucial monitoring tool, and their performance directly impacts the timeliness and accuracy of fire warnings. Currently, most tower camera devices only have fixed-angle monitoring capabilities and cannot automatically track fire locations. When a forest fire occurs, the camera cannot adjust its shooting angle in time to continuously monitor the fire's development, resulting in incomplete monitoring data and difficulty in accurately determining the fire's spread direction and scale. This, in turn, affects the timeliness and effectiveness of firefighting decisions, rendering the system impractical. Therefore, it is necessary to redesign forest fire early warning tower camera devices with automatic tracking capabilities to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a forest fire early warning tower camera device with automatic tracking function.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A forest fire early warning tower camera device with automatic tracking function includes a camera device body and a mounting plate. The upper surface of the mounting plate has multiple fixing holes. A rotating rod is rotatably mounted on the bottom wall of the mounting plate. A rotating frame is fixedly mounted at the end of the rotating rod. A gear is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the rotating rod. A fixing plate is fixedly mounted on the bottom wall of the mounting plate. A connecting block is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the fixing plate via a telescopic mechanism. A toothed plate is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the connecting block via a connecting mechanism. The toothed plate and the gear mesh with each other. A double-ended screw is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the rotating frame. A motor connected to the double-ended screw is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the rotating frame. The wall is threadedly installed with two movable sleeves via a limiting mechanism. A first connecting frame is fixedly installed on the bottom wall of each of the two movable sleeves. A second connecting frame is rotatably installed inside each of the two first connecting frames via a connecting mechanism. A lower pressure plate is fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the second connecting frame. An upper clamping plate is fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the lower pressure plate via a fixing rod. A connecting plate is fixedly installed inside the rotating frame. A lower clamping plate is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the connecting plate via a support mechanism. Anti-slip pads are fixedly installed on the inner walls of both the upper and lower clamping plates. A warning device and a control module are fixedly installed on the upper surface of the connecting plate. A battery is slidably installed on the outer wall of the rotating frame via a fixing frame.

[0007] Preferably, the telescopic mechanism includes an electric actuator fixedly installed on the inner wall of the fixed plate, and the telescopic end of the electric actuator is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting block.

[0008] Preferably, the connecting mechanism includes a connecting rod fixedly installed on the outer wall of the connecting block, and the end of the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the toothed plate.

[0009] Preferably, the limiting mechanism includes a limiting rod fixedly installed inside the rotating frame, and the limiting rod slides through the two movable sleeves.

[0010] Preferably, the connecting mechanism includes a connecting plate fixedly installed inside the first connecting frame, and the end of the connecting plate is rotatably connected to the inside of the second connecting frame.

[0011] Preferably, the support mechanism includes a support rod fixedly installed on the upper surface of the connecting plate, and the end of the support rod is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the lower clamping plate.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] 1. By setting up components such as a rotating rod, gears, and toothed plates, the electric actuator can push the toothed plate through the cooperation of the connecting block and the connecting rod. The toothed plate, in conjunction with the gear, causes the rotating rod to rotate, which in turn drives the camera device body inside the rotating frame to rotate horizontally. This enables precise angle adjustment of the camera device body in the horizontal direction and automatic tracking of fires, greatly improving the timeliness of the camera in capturing fire sources during forest fire early warning, quickly locating the fire area, buying valuable time for rescue, and significantly enhancing the accuracy of forest fire early warning.

[0014] 2. By setting up components such as a double-headed screw, a limiting rod, and a clamping plate, the double-headed screw and the limiting rod work together to drive the two moving sleeves to move. Through the first connecting frame, the connecting plate, and the second connecting frame, the lower pressure plate and the upper clamping plate are moved, which can quickly achieve the upper clamping plate to fit against the outer wall of the camera device body. The anti-slip pad increases the friction, which not only firmly clamps the camera but also prevents it from shaking during shooting and affecting the monitoring effect. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0022] Reference Figure 1-5 A forest fire early warning tower camera device with automatic tracking function includes a camera device body 1 and a mounting plate 2. The upper surface of the mounting plate 2 has multiple fixing holes. A rotating rod 3 is rotatably mounted on the bottom wall of the mounting plate 2. A rotating frame 4 is fixedly mounted at the end of the rotating rod 3. A gear 5 is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the rotating rod 3. A fixing plate 6 is fixedly mounted on the bottom wall of the mounting plate 2. A connecting block 8 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the fixing plate 6 through a telescopic mechanism. The telescopic mechanism includes an electric push rod 7 fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the fixing plate 6. The telescopic end of the electric push rod 7 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting block 8. A toothed plate 10 is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the connecting block 8 through a connecting mechanism. The connecting mechanism includes a connecting rod 9 fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the connecting block 8. The end of the connecting rod 9 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the toothed plate 10. The toothed plate 10 and the gear 5 mesh with each other.

[0023] A double-headed screw 11 is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the rotating frame 4. A motor 12 connected to the double-headed screw 11 is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the rotating frame 4. Two movable sleeves 14 are threadedly mounted on the outer wall of the double-headed screw 11 through a limiting mechanism. The limiting mechanism includes a limiting rod 13 fixedly mounted inside the rotating frame 4. The limiting rod 13 slides through the two movable sleeves 14 and can limit the movement of the two movable sleeves 14, so that the two movable sleeves 14 can only move axially along the outer wall of the double-headed screw 11. A first connecting frame 15 is fixedly mounted on the bottom wall of each of the two movable sleeves 14. A second connecting frame 17 is rotatably mounted inside each of the two first connecting frames 15 through a connecting mechanism. The connecting mechanism includes a connecting plate 16 fixedly mounted inside the first connecting frame 15. The end of the connecting plate 16 is rotatably connected to the inside of the second connecting frame 17. A lower pressure plate 18 is fixedly mounted on the bottom wall of the second connecting frame 17. An upper clamping plate 19 is fixedly mounted on the bottom wall of the lower pressure plate 18 through a fixing rod.

[0024] A connecting plate 20 is fixedly installed inside the rotating frame 4. A lower clamping plate 22 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the connecting plate 20 through a support mechanism. The support mechanism includes a support rod 21 fixedly installed on the upper surface of the connecting plate 20. The end of the support rod 21 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the lower clamping plate 22. Anti-slip pads 23 are fixedly installed on the inner walls of both the upper clamping plate 19 and the lower clamping plate 22. Both anti-slip pads 23 are made of rubber. Rubber has good elasticity and softness, which allows it to form a closer contact between the surface and the object, thereby increasing friction and improving the coefficient of friction. A warning device 24 and a control module 25 are fixedly installed on the upper surface of the connecting plate 20. A battery 26 is slidably installed on the outer wall of the rotating frame 4 through a fixed frame.

[0025] When this utility model is in use, the multiple fixing holes on the upper end face of the mounting plate 2 can be used to securely install the device on the forest early warning tower platform using bolts and other connecting parts, providing a basic support for the stable operation of the device. The camera device body 1 is placed on the lower clamping plate 22, and then the motor 12 drives the double-headed screw 11 to rotate. When the double-headed screw 11 rotates, it can drive the two moving sleeves 14 to move through the cooperation with the limit rod 13. When the two moving sleeves 14 move, they can drive the lower pressure plate 18 to move up and down through the cooperation of the first connecting frame 15, the connecting plate 16 and the second connecting frame 17. When the lower pressure plate 18 moves, it can drive the upper clamping plate 19 to move down to fit against the outer wall of the camera device body 1, and clamp and fix it through the anti-slip pad 23. The anti-slip pad 23 can increase the friction between the camera device body 1 and the camera device body 1, and increase the clamping and fixing effect.

[0026] When the camera device body 1 needs to adjust the horizontal angle of the camera during operation, the extension and retraction of the electric push rod 7 can drive the connecting block 8 to move. When the connecting block 8 moves, it can drive the toothed plate 10 to move through the cooperation with the connecting rod 9. When the toothed plate 10 moves, it can drive the rotating rod 3 to rotate through the meshing gear 5. Thus, the rotation of the rotating rod 3 can drive the camera device body 1, which is clamped and fixed inside the rotating frame 4, to rotate, thereby realizing the horizontal angle adjustment of the camera device body 1 and the automatic tracking of fire, improving the timeliness and accuracy of forest fire early warning. The early warning device 24 monitors the forest environment in real time. When a fire sign is detected, it will transmit a signal to the control module 25. After receiving the early warning signal, the control module 25 will control the electric push rod 7, motor 12 and other components according to the preset program to adjust the horizontal and vertical angles of the camera so that the camera is aimed at the fire area for shooting and monitoring. At the same time, the control module 25 can also transmit the captured images and related data to the monitoring center so that the staff can understand the fire situation in time and take corresponding measures. The battery 26 can provide power support for the entire device to ensure that the device can work normally when there is no external power supply or the power supply is unstable.

[0027] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
