Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of surveillance equipment maintenance tools, and in particular to a spherical camera repair device. Background Technology

[0002] Dome cameras, often simply called PTZ cameras, are difficult to maintain during repairs due to the lack of dedicated support. Repair personnel typically place them directly on a hard surface, making their spherical shape highly susceptible to external disturbances and unable to maintain a stable, suitable inspection angle over extended periods. This makes repairs, such as replacing MicroSD and SIM cards, inconvenient and hinders prolonged, delicate work. Furthermore, the plastic casing of PTZ cameras is particularly vulnerable. When placed on a hard surface and subjected to external forces, especially on rough surfaces, the relative movement between the camera and the surface can cause wear and tear on the lens housing, affecting the camera's appearance and, in severe cases, even rendering the lens housing unusable. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a spherical camera maintenance device that supports the spherical camera, thereby preventing the lens housing from rubbing against the table during maintenance and causing wear on the lens housing.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a spherical camera maintenance device, including an annular seat, a support seat, and a base. The annular seat is mounted on at least one support seat, and the support seat is fixedly mounted on the base. An extension ring is provided on the lower side of the inner wall of the annular seat.

[0005] The annular seat is rotatably connected to the support seat.

[0006] The outer wall of the annular seat is radially fixed with an extension shaft, which is rotatably connected to the support seat.

[0007] The outer wall of the annular seat is symmetrically provided with two protruding shafts, and there are two support seats. The top of the two support seats is provided with a placement groove, and the two protruding shafts are respectively placed in the placement grooves on the top of the two support seats.

[0008] The top of the placement slot is equipped with a first locking mechanism, which includes a first T-bolt and a first quick-release handle. The longitudinal rod of the first T-bolt passes through the two side walls of the placement slot. One end of the longitudinal rod is threaded with a first nut. The first quick-release handle is provided with an eccentric hole. The transverse rod of the first T-bolt is rotatably installed in the eccentric hole. The middle part of the first quick-release handle is provided with a radial elongated hole at the position corresponding to the eccentric hole. The other end of the longitudinal rod passes through the radial elongated hole and is then fixed to the transverse rod.

[0009] The annular seat is elastic and has a break notch.

[0010] The outer wall of the annular seat has protruding ear plates fixed on both sides of the break notch. A second locking mechanism is installed on the two ear plates. The second locking mechanism has the same structure as the first locking mechanism.

[0011] The inner wall of the annular seat and / or the top of the protruding ring are fitted with anti-slip pads.

[0012] The base includes a rotating seat and a fixed seat, with the rotating seat rotatably mounted above the fixed seat via bearings.

[0013] The rotating seat is screwed with a positioning bolt. When the positioning bolt abuts against the fixed seat, it limits the position of the rotating seat and the fixed seat.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following technical effects:

[0015] 1. This utility model features an extended ring within its annular base, with a step formed on the extended ring. During use, the spherical camera is placed inside the annular base and supported and limited by the extended ring. A support base is used to raise the annular base to a certain height, moving the spherical camera away from the tabletop. The base stabilizes the support base, allowing the spherical camera to be stably placed on the maintenance device. By supporting the spherical camera through the maintenance device, it prevents lens housing wear caused by friction between the lens housing and the tabletop during maintenance.

[0016] 2. The annular seat and the support seat of this utility model are rotatably connected, which makes it easy to swing the position of the spherical camera during maintenance.

[0017] 3. The top of the placement slot of this utility model is equipped with a first locking mechanism, which can fix the extension shaft, so that the angle can be fixed after the spherical camera is adjusted.

[0018] 4. In this invention, protruding ear plates are fixedly provided on the outer wall of the annular seat on both sides of the discontinuity notch, and a second locking mechanism is installed on the two ear plates. During maintenance, rotating the first quick-release handle on the second locking mechanism causes the ear plates on both sides to move towards each other, thereby fixing the spherical camera on the annular seat.

[0019] 5. The base of this utility model includes a rotating base and a fixed base, with the rotating base rotatably mounted on top of the fixed base via bearings. This facilitates horizontal rotation of the dome camera during maintenance.

[0020] 6. The rotating base of this utility model is screwed with a positioning bolt. When the positioning bolt abuts against the fixed base, it limits the rotating base and the fixed base, which makes it easy to limit the spherical camera after the adjustment is completed.

[0033] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, but should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0034] Example 1:

[0035] See Figure 1-6 A spherical camera maintenance device includes an annular seat 10, a support seat 20, and a base 30. The annular seat 10 is mounted on at least one support seat 20, and the support seat 20 is fixedly mounted on the base 30. An extension ring 11 is provided on the lower side of the inner wall of the annular seat 10.

[0036] An extension ring 11 is provided inside the annular base 10, and a step is formed on the extension ring 11. In use, the spherical camera 40 is placed inside the annular base 10 and is limited and supported by the extension ring 11. The support base 20 is used to raise the annular base 10 to a certain height, so that the spherical camera 40 is away from the table. The base 30 is used to stabilize the support base 20, so that the spherical camera 40 can be stably placed on the maintenance device.

[0037] This invention supports the spherical camera 40 with a maintenance device, thereby preventing the lens housing from rubbing against the table during maintenance and causing wear on the lens housing.

[0038] In this embodiment, the annular seat 10 is fixedly installed on the support seat 20. Of course, there can be one, two, or three support seats 20.

[0039] To further prevent wear between the spherical camera 40 and the ring seat 10, anti-slip pads 16 are installed on the inner wall of the ring seat 10 and / or the top of the protruding ring 11.

[0040] Specifically, depending on the area to be protected from wear, see [reference needed]. Figure 4 Anti-slip pads 16 can be glued to the inner wall of the annular seat 10, or to the top of the protruding ring 11, or to both the inner wall of the annular seat 10 and the top of the protruding ring 11.

[0041] Example 2:

[0042] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the annular seat 10 is rotatably connected to the support seat 20, which facilitates the swinging of the spherical camera 40 during maintenance.

[0043] Specifically, an extended shaft 12 is radially fixed to the outer wall of the annular seat 10, and the extended shaft 12 is rotatably connected to the support seat 20. In practice, a transverse support hole can be provided on the support seat 20, and the extended shaft 12 can be movably inserted into the support hole. Of course, a bearing can also be installed in the support hole, and the extended shaft 12 is inserted into the bearing's inner hole.

[0044] In this embodiment, see Figure 1 , 2 3. Two protruding shafts 12 are symmetrically arranged on the outer wall of the annular seat 10. There are two support seats 20. The top of the two support seats 20 is provided with a placement groove 21. The two protruding shafts 12 are respectively placed in the placement groove 21 on the top of the two support seats 20.

[0045] Example 3:

[0046] Based on embodiment 2, a first locking mechanism is installed on the top of the placement slot 21. The first locking mechanism can fix the extension shaft 12, so that the angle can be fixed after the spherical camera 40 is adjusted.

[0047] Specifically, see Figure 3 The first locking mechanism includes a first T-bolt 22 and a first quick-release handle 24. The longitudinal rod 221 of the first T-bolt 22 passes through the two side walls of the placement groove 21. A first nut 23 is threadedly installed at one end of the longitudinal rod 221. An eccentric hole 241 is provided on the first quick-release handle 24. The transverse rod 222 of the first T-bolt 22 is rotatably installed in the eccentric hole 241. A radial elongated hole 242 is provided in the middle of the first quick-release handle 24 at the position corresponding to the eccentric hole 241. The other end of the longitudinal rod 221 passes through the radial elongated hole 242 and is then fixedly connected to the transverse rod 222.

[0048] Because the first quick-release handle 24 has an eccentric hole 241, when the first quick-release handle 24 rotates around the transverse rod 222, the wall thickness of the outer side of the eccentric hole 241 changes from thin to thick, which will squeeze the two side walls of the placement groove 21, causing the two side walls to clamp the protruding shaft 12 in the placement groove 21, thereby fixing the angle of the annular seat 10. The first nut 23 also serves to adjust the locking force.

[0049] Example 4:

[0050] Based on Embodiment 1, Embodiment 2, or Embodiment 3, the annular seat 10 is elastic, and a break notch 13 is provided on the annular seat 10.

[0051] When the annular seat 10 has a break notch 13, there are two possible solutions:

[0052] The first solution is to make the inner diameter of the ring seat 10 smaller than the outer diameter of the spherical camera 40, so that the spherical camera 40 can be installed into the ring seat 10 during maintenance.

[0053] The second option is: See Figure 4 The inner diameter of the annular seat 10 is larger than the outer diameter of the spherical camera 40. On the outer wall of the annular seat 10, protruding ear plates 14 are fixed on both sides of the break notch 13. A second locking mechanism 15 is installed on the two ear plates 14. The second locking mechanism 15 has the same structure as the first locking mechanism.

[0054] Specifically, the second locking mechanism 15 also includes a first T-bolt 22 and a first quick-release handle 24. The longitudinal rod 221 of the first T-bolt 22 passes through the holes on the two side ear plates 14. One end of the longitudinal rod 221 is threadedly fitted with a first nut 23. The first quick-release handle 24 is provided with an eccentric hole 241. The transverse rod 222 of the first T-bolt 22 is rotatably installed in the eccentric hole 241. The middle part of the first quick-release handle 24 is provided with a radial elongated hole 242 at the position corresponding to the eccentric hole 241. The other end of the longitudinal rod 221 passes through the radial elongated hole 242 and is then fixedly connected to the transverse rod 222.

[0055] During maintenance, rotating the first quick-release handle 24 on the second locking mechanism 15 causes the ear plates 14 on both sides to move towards each other, thereby fixing the spherical camera 40 onto the ring seat 10.

[0056] Example 5:

[0057] Based on Example 1, Example 2, Example 3, or Example 4, see [link to example]. Figure 5 The base 30 includes a rotating seat 31 and a fixed seat 32. The rotating seat 31 is rotatably mounted above the fixed seat 32 via a bearing 33. This facilitates horizontal rotation of the dome camera 40 during maintenance.

[0058] Specifically, see Figure 5 The rotating seat 31 has a boss 311 on its lower side and a groove 321 on its upper side. A bearing 33 is installed in the groove 321 and the boss 311 is installed in the inner hole of the bearing 33.

[0059] Furthermore, a positioning bolt 34 is screwed onto the rotating seat 31. When the positioning bolt 34 abuts against the fixed seat 32, it limits the rotating seat 31 and the fixed seat 32, so that the spherical camera 40 can be limited after the adjustment is completed.

[0060] The method of use or principle of this utility model:

[0061] See Figure 6 During maintenance, the spherical camera 40 is placed inside the ring mount 10.

[0062] Rotate the first quick-release handle 24 on the second locking mechanism 15, and the ear plates 14 on both sides move towards each other, fixing the spherical camera 40.

[0063] After adjusting the rotation angle of the annular seat 10, rotate the first quick-release handle 24 on the first locking mechanism. The first quick-release handle 24 presses against the two side walls of the placement groove 21, so that the two side walls clamp the protruding shaft 12 in the placement groove 21, thus fixing the angle of the annular seat 10.

[0064] During maintenance, the rotating base 31 is rotated to rotate the spherical camera 40 horizontally. When fixing is required, the positioning bolt 34 is tightened so that it abuts against the fixing base 32, thus limiting the position of the rotating base 31 and the fixing base 32.
