Detailed Implementation

[0024] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In addition, the forms of the various structures described in the following embodiments are merely illustrative. The all-around adjustable industrial camera fixing device involved in this utility model is not limited to the structures described in the following embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0025] Example 1:

[0026] As shown in Figures 1-8, an omnidirectional adjustable industrial camera mounting device includes a support base 1, a mounting base 2 movably sleeved inside the support base 1, an industrial camera body 3 mounted above the mounting base 2, a mounting frame 4 fixedly installed at the rear of the top of the mounting base 2, a positioning block 44 slidably connected inside the mounting frame 4, and a pressure plate 45 fixedly installed on the front of the positioning block 44. The positioning block 44 and the pressure plate 45 are fixedly connected by bolts. Depending on the model of the industrial camera body 3 used, a pressure plate 45 that mates with its upper surface can be provided. Limit covers 46 are fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of the pressure plate 45. The number of limit covers 46 is two. The inner wall of 6 overlaps with the top of the industrial camera body 3 on both sides. The top of the fixing seat 2 is provided with a limiting groove 22. The bottom of the industrial camera body 3 is set inside the limiting groove 22. The fixing frame 4 is provided with a screw 43 inside. The bottom end of the screw 43 is rotatably installed on the bottom of the inner wall of the fixing frame 4 through a bearing. The top end of the screw 43 extends to the top of the fixing frame 4 and is fixedly installed with a knob 42. The internal thread of the positioning block 44 is connected to the outer wall of the screw 43. The top of the fixing frame 4 is provided with a protective cover 41. The knob 42 is located inside the protective cover 41. The top of the fixing frame 4 is provided with an annular mounting groove. The bottom of the protective cover 41 is threadedly connected to the inside of the annular mounting groove.

[0027] In this embodiment, the bottom of the industrial camera body 3 can be limited by the top limiting groove 22 of the fixed base 2. The knob 42 allows the operator to rotate the screw 43, which drives the positioning block 44, pressure plate 45 and two limiting covers 46 to move vertically. This allows the inner walls of the two limiting covers 46 to be pressed down on both sides of the top of the industrial camera body 3, thus fixing the industrial camera body 3 in place. The bottom of the protective cover 41 is spirally installed in the annular mounting groove at the top of the fixed frame 4, covering the knob 42 and protecting it. By rotating the knob 42 and the screw 43 in the opposite direction, the two limiting covers 46 can be driven to move upward and detach from the top of the industrial camera body 3, facilitating the removal of the industrial camera body 3.

[0028] Example 2:

[0029] As shown in Figures 1-8, a power supply box 11, a servo motor 12, and a worm gear reducer 13 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the support base 1. The output end of the servo motor 12 is fixedly connected to the input end of the worm gear reducer 13 through a coupling. The output end of the worm gear reducer 13 extends into the interior of the support base 1 and is fixedly installed in the middle of the bottom of the fixed base 2. Multiple balls 21 are rotatably embedded in the outer wall of the fixed base 2. An annular groove 14 is opened on the inner wall of the support base 1, and the outer wall of the balls 21 is rolled inside the annular groove 14.

[0030] In this embodiment, the protective cover 52 can protect the first servo motor 12 and the worm gear reducer 13. The first power supply box 11 is equipped with a storage battery, which can supply power to the first servo motor 12. Through the cooperation of the first servo motor 12 and the worm gear reducer 13, it is easy to drive the fixed seat 2 to rotate inside the support seat 1. The fixed seat 2 also drives multiple balls 21 to roll inside the annular groove 14. At the same time, the fixed seat 2 can drive the industrial camera body 3 to rotate horizontally, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the horizontal angle of the industrial camera body 3.

[0031] Example 3:

[0032] As shown in Figure 1-8, a mounting bracket 5 is provided on the right side of the support base 1. A protective cover 52 is fixedly installed on the upper right side of the mounting bracket 5. The protective cover 52 contains a servo motor 53, a worm gear 54, and a worm wheel 55. A connecting shaft 51 is fixedly connected to the right side of the support base 1. The outer wall of the connecting shaft 51 is rotatably mounted inside the mounting bracket 5 via a bearing. The right end of the connecting shaft 51 is rotatably mounted on one side of the inner wall of the protective cover 52 via a bearing. The bottom of the servo motor 53 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the inner wall of the protective cover 52. The bottom end of the worm gear 54 is connected to the support base 1. The coupling is fixedly installed at the output end of the second servo motor 53. The top end of the worm 54 is rotatably installed on the top of the inner wall of the protective cover 52 through the bearing. The worm wheel 55 is located on one side of the worm 54 and meshes with the worm 54. The inside of the worm wheel 55 is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the first connecting shaft 51. The second power supply box 56 is fixedly installed on the lower right side of the first mounting bracket 5. The second mounting bracket 6 is provided on the left side of the support base 1. The second connecting shaft 61 is fixedly installed on the left side of the support base 1. The outer wall of the second connecting shaft 61 is rotatably installed inside the second mounting bracket 6 through the bearing.

[0033] In this embodiment, the second power supply box 56 is also equipped with a battery, which can power the second servo motor 53. Through the cooperation of the second servo motor 53, worm gear 54, worm wheel 55 and the first connecting shaft 51, it is easy to drive the support base 1 to rotate. The support base 1 drives the fixed base 2, the industrial camera body 3 and the second connecting shaft 61 to rotate, which can realize the flipping of the industrial camera body 3 and increase the range of industrial camera angle adjustment. The industrial camera model can be EC51D, which is suitable for fields such as microscopic imaging and industrial inspection.

[0034] In summary, as shown in Figures 1-8, this omnidirectional adjustable industrial camera mounting device, when installing the industrial camera, first places the bottom of the industrial camera body 3 into the limiting groove 22 at the top of the mounting base 2. Then, rotating the knob 42 and the screw 43 causes the screw 43 to drive the positioning block 44 to slide inside the mounting frame 4. The positioning block 44, through the pressure plate 45, drives the two limiting covers 46 to move, causing the interiors of the two limiting covers 46 to move down to both sides of the top of the industrial camera body 3, thus fixing the industrial camera body 3 to the top of the mounting base 2. If it is necessary to adjust the angle of the industrial camera body 3... The cooperation of servo motor 12 and worm gear reducer 13 facilitates the rotation of fixed base 2 inside support base 1. Fixed base 2 drives industrial camera body 3 to rotate horizontally, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the horizontal angle of industrial camera body 3. The output end of servo motor 53 drives worm gear 54 to rotate. Worm gear 54 drives worm wheel 55 and first connecting shaft 51 to rotate. One end of first connecting shaft 51 drives support base 1, fixed base 2, industrial camera body 3 and second connecting shaft 61 to rotate, which can realize the flipping of industrial camera body 3, thereby increasing the range of industrial camera angle adjustment.
