Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of optical equipment, and more particularly to a camera switching module with rotating reflectors. Background Technology

[0002] In medical imaging and other microscopic research fields, it is often necessary to switch between different camera modules to meet different imaging needs. Traditional camera switching methods mainly involve moving multiple camera groups in parallel to capture images for different requirements, which suffers from slow switching speed, low accuracy, complex structure, and high cost. In addition, the complex mechanical structure can also lead to accelerated wear between components, thereby affecting the stability and lifespan of the system. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a camera switching module that can quickly and accurately switch optical paths, and avoids wear and slow transmission efficiency caused by complex mechanical structures and mirror rotation.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a camera switching module with a rotating reflector, including a fixed base and a reflector rotatably disposed on one side of the fixed base. A first camera module and a second camera module are disposed opposite to each other on both sides of the fixed base. When the reflector rotates relative to the fixed base, it has a first rotation direction and a second rotation direction. The first rotation direction matches the first camera module, and the second rotation direction matches the second camera module.

[0005] Furthermore, a rotating wheel is rotatably mounted on the side of the mounting base away from the reflector, and the rotating wheel is connected to the reflector via a connecting shaft.

[0006] Furthermore, a positioning platform is provided on the side of the rotating wheel, and a ball bearing is telescopically provided on the side of the positioning platform near the rotating wheel. A first groove and a second groove are provided on the outer periphery of the rotating wheel, so that when the ball bearing is engaged in the first groove, the reflector rotates to the first rotation direction, and when the ball bearing is engaged in the second groove, the reflector rotates to the second rotation direction.

[0007] Furthermore, a drive seat is connected to the side of the fixed seat, and a drive component is provided at the drive seat. The drive component and the rotating wheel are driven by a synchronous belt.

[0008] Furthermore, the positioning platform has a built-in telescopic groove, and an elastic element connects the telescopic groove and the ball bearing, with the ball bearing and the telescopic groove in a telescopic fit.

[0009] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the first camera module and the second camera module located on both sides are installed by the fixing base, and the reflector is rotated to the first rotation direction and the second rotation direction, so that the reflector can guide the light to the first camera module or the second camera module for selective shooting. Since the switching of the first camera module and the second camera module can be completed by simply rotating the reflector during the light path switching process, there is no need to control it by a relatively complicated transmission mechanism such as track movement, thereby simplifying the switching process, so as to facilitate fast and accurate light path switching, and avoiding the problems of wear and slow transmission efficiency caused by complex mechanical structures.

[0014] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0015] Those skilled in the art should understand that, in the disclosure of this utility model, the terms "longitudinal," "lateral," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, the above terms should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0016] It is understood that the term "a" should be understood as "at least one" or "one or more", that is, in one embodiment, the number of an element can be one, while in another embodiment, the number of the element can be multiple, and the term "a" should not be understood as a limitation on the number.

[0017] like Figures 1-3 The present invention provides a camera switching module with a rotating reflector, including a fixed base 1 and a reflector 2 rotatably disposed on one side of the fixed base 1. A first camera module 3 and a second camera module 4 are disposed opposite to each other on both sides of the fixed base 1. When the reflector 2 rotates relative to the fixed base 1, it has a first rotation direction and a second rotation direction. The first rotation direction matches the first camera module 3, and the second rotation direction matches the second camera module 4.

[0018] The first and second camera modules are mounted on both sides using mounting brackets. By rotating the reflector to the first and second rotation directions, the reflector can guide light to either the first or second camera module for selective shooting. Since the switching between the first and second camera modules can be completed solely by rotating the reflector during the optical path switching process, there is no need for control through complex transmission mechanisms such as track movement. This simplifies the switching process, enabling fast and accurate optical path switching and avoiding the problems of wear and slow transmission efficiency caused by complex mechanical structures.

[0019] The first camera module and the second camera module can be selected according to specific shooting needs, such as wide-angle camera, telephoto camera, infrared camera, etc.; the reflector has at least one mirror surface that can be used to reflect light.

[0020] Preferably, a rotating wheel 5 is rotatably provided on the side of the fixed base 1 away from the reflector 2, and the rotating wheel 5 is connected to the reflector 2 via a connecting shaft.

[0021] Specifically, when controlling the reflector to rotate, the rotating wheel rotates relative to the fixed base, and then the connecting shaft drives the reflector to rotate to the first rotation direction or the second rotation direction, so as to precisely control the guiding angle of the reflector to the light, and then match the first camera module or the second camera module.

[0022] In one embodiment of this solution, a drive seat 8 is connected to the side of the fixed base 1, and a drive component 9 is provided at the drive seat 8. The drive component 9 and the rotating wheel 5 are connected by a synchronous belt 10 for transmission, so that when the drive component is started, the drive component controls the rotating wheel to rotate through the synchronous belt, thereby controlling the precise rotation of the reflector. In this process, the synchronous belt, drive component, etc. are all far away from the installation position of the reflector, so that the rotation process of the reflector is not affected by the drive component.

[0023] The driving component can be a servo motor.

[0024] Preferably, a positioning platform 6 is provided on the side of the rotating wheel 5, and a ball bearing 7 is telescopically provided on the side of the positioning platform 6 near the rotating wheel 5. The outer periphery of the rotating wheel 5 is provided with a first groove and a second groove, so that when the ball bearing 7 is engaged in the first groove, the reflector 2 rotates to the first rotation direction, and when the ball bearing 7 is engaged in the second groove, the reflector 2 rotates to the second rotation direction.

[0025] Specifically, when the rotating wheel drives the reflector to rotate, the rotating wheel is pushed and retracts to the inside of the positioning platform. When the rotating wheel rotates and the ball moves to the position of the first groove or the second groove, the ball pops out and locks into the first groove or the second groove. Thus, the rotating wheel is positioned by the ball, which can ensure that the reflector is accurately positioned in the first rotation direction or the second rotation direction, so as to ensure the accuracy of light guidance.

[0026] Preferably, the positioning platform 6 has a built-in telescopic groove, and an elastic element connects the telescopic groove and the ball 7, with the ball 7 and the telescopic groove in a telescopic fit.

[0027] Specifically, when the rotating wheel presses down on the ball, the ball compresses the elastic element, causing the ball to retract into the telescopic groove, thus preventing the ball from interfering with the rotation of the rotating wheel. When the first or second groove passes the position of the ball, the ball can be reset and ejected by the elastic element to ensure the positioning of the ball on the rotating wheel.

[0028] The elastic element can be a spring structure.

[0029] This utility model is not limited to the above-described preferred embodiments. Anyone can derive other forms of products under the guidance of this utility model. However, regardless of any changes made in their shape or structure, any technical solution that is the same as or similar to this application falls within the protection scope of this utility model.
