Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of industrial endoscope technology, and in particular to a replaceable bidirectional waterproof monocular camera. Background Technology

[0002] Industrial endoscopes are indispensable for the inspection of modern industrial equipment, especially in confined spaces.

[0003] Among them, monocular cameras are one of the various lens types of industrial endoscopes. The working environment of industrial endoscopes includes small, humid and dense environments, so the camera components often need to be waterproofed. However, some endoscopes in the existing technology only have simple single-point waterproofing in order to meet the purpose of lens replacement, so they may not be able to meet the waterproof requirements.

[0004] Based on the above problems, a replaceable bidirectional waterproof monocular camera is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the main purpose of this utility model is to provide a replaceable, two-way waterproof monocular camera, which solves the above-mentioned problems.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a replaceable bidirectional waterproof monocular camera, comprising a wear-resistant tube, a screw-on tube connected to one side of the wear-resistant tube, a front protective tube connected to the end of the screw-on tube opposite to the wear-resistant tube, a joint ring installed inside the wear-resistant tube, a spring-loaded connector installed inside the joint ring, a lens assembly connected to one end of the spring-loaded connector, a lens fixing component provided inside the screw-on tube, a monocular lens installed inside the lens fixing component, and the monocular lens connected to the lens assembly, a waterproof O-ring one provided between the wear-resistant tube and the screw-on tube, and a waterproof O-ring two provided between the lens fixing component and the screw-on tube and the front protective tube.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution, the wear-resistant tube has multiple external threads on its exterior, and the screw-in tube has multiple internal threads corresponding to the wear-resistant tube on its interior. The wear-resistant tube and the screw-in tube are connected through the multiple internal and external threads.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution, the wear-resistant tube has two external threads on its exterior, and the screw-in tube has two internal threads corresponding to the wear-resistant tube on its interior.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution, when the wear-resistant tube and the screw-in tube are connected by internal and external threads, the outer wall of the screw-in tube and the outer wall of the wear-resistant tube tightly abut against the waterproof O-ring.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution, the lens fixing component and the inner wall of the screw tube are tightly fitted with the second waterproof O-ring.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution, a front protective glass is installed on the front protective tube.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has obvious advantages and beneficial effects. Specifically, as can be seen from the above technical solution, its main features are:

[0013] In use, this device combines or disassembles the screw-on tube and the wear-resistant tube by rotating the screw-on tube. This allows operation of the components within the wear-resistant tube's internal space, enabling replacement or repair of these components. By screwing the wear-resistant tube and the screw-on tube together, the outer wall of the screw-on tube is pressed tightly against the outer wall of the wear-resistant tube, thus securing the waterproof O-ring one. This prevents the waterproof O-ring one from shaking or shifting, and improves its waterproof performance, resulting in a better waterproof effect for the device. Combined with the included waterproof O-ring two, it achieves multiple waterproofing points, thus providing multiple waterproofing options and facilitating replacement, making it more practical.

[0014] To more clearly illustrate the structural features and effects of this utility model, the following detailed description of this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Attached Figure Description

[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model.

[0022] It should be noted that when a component is said to be "fixed to" another component, it can be directly attached to the other component or there may be an intervening component. When a component is said to be "connected to" another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or there may be an intervening component. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this document are for illustrative purposes only.

[0023] Please see Figures 1 to 5 This utility model provides a replaceable, two-way waterproof monocular camera, including a wear-resistant tube 1. A screw-on tube 2 is connected to one side of the wear-resistant tube 1, and a front-mounted protective tube 3 is connected to the end of the screw-on tube 2 opposite to the wear-resistant tube 1. The screw-on tube 2 and the front-mounted protective tube 3 are connected by a snap-fit ​​connection between their convex and concave ends. A joint ring 4 is installed inside the wear-resistant tube 1, and a spring-loaded connector 5 is installed inside the joint ring 4. One end of the spring-loaded connector 5 is connected to a lens assembly 6. A lens fixing component 7 is provided inside the screw-on tube 2, and a monocular lens 8 is installed inside the lens fixing component 7 and connected to the lens assembly 6. The mounting component 7 is used for the installation of the monocular lens 8. The camera assembly can be formed by the spring connector 5, the lens assembly 6, and the monocular lens 8. This is a component that exists in the prior art and will not be described in detail here. A waterproof O-ring 10 is provided between the wear-resistant tube 1 and the screw tube 2. A waterproof O-ring 21 is provided between the lens mounting component 7, the screw tube 2, and the front protection tube 3. The waterproof O-ring 10 and the waterproof O-ring 21 can effectively isolate the gap between the wear-resistant tube 1 and the screw tube 2, and the gap between the screw tube 2 and the front protection tube 3. Thus, the waterproof performance of this device is improved by setting multiple waterproof points.

[0024] Please see Figures 1 to 5 The wear-resistant tube 1 has multiple external threads on its exterior, and the screw-in tube 2 has multiple internal threads corresponding to the wear-resistant tube 1. The wear-resistant tube 1 and the screw-in tube 2 are connected through the multiple internal and external threads. The wear-resistant tube 1 has two external threads on its exterior, and the screw-in tube 2 has two internal threads corresponding to the wear-resistant tube 1. The wear-resistant tube 1 and the screw-in tube 2 can be connected through the internal and external threads. The screw-in tube 2 is snapped together with the front protective tube 3. Therefore, by turning the screw-in tube 2, the screw-in tube 2 and the wear-resistant tube 1 can be combined or disassembled. This allows operation of the components inside the wear-resistant tube 1, enabling the replacement or repair of the internal components.

[0025] Please see Figures 1 to 5 When the wear-resistant tube 1 and the screw-on tube 2 are connected by internal and external threads, the outer wall of the screw-on tube 2 and the outer wall of the wear-resistant tube 1 tightly abut against the waterproof O-ring 10. By twisting the wear-resistant tube 1 and the screw-on tube 2, the outer wall of the screw-on tube 2 and the outer wall of the wear-resistant tube 1 are pressed and compacted to fix the waterproof O-ring 10, making it less likely to shake or shift in position. This also improves the waterproof performance of the waterproof O-ring 10, making the waterproof effect of this device better.

[0026] Please see Figures 1 to 5 The lens mounting piece 7 and the inner wall of the screw tube 2 are tightly fitted with the waterproof O-ring 11.

[0027] Please see Figures 1 to 5 A front protective glass 9 is installed on the front protective tube 3. The front protective glass 9 is used to protect the monocular lens 8.

[0028] In summary, when using this device, the components inside the wear-resistant tube 1 can be combined or disassembled by rotating the rotating tube 2. This allows for the operation of the components inside the wear-resistant tube 1, enabling replacement or repair of these components. By tightening the wear-resistant tube 1 and the rotating tube 2, the outer wall of the rotating tube 2 is pressed against and compacted against the outer wall of the wear-resistant tube 1, thus fixing the waterproof O-ring 10. This prevents the waterproof O-ring 10 from shaking or shifting position, while also improving its waterproof performance. This results in a better waterproof effect for the device. Combined with the additional waterproof O-ring 11, it achieves multiple waterproofing goals.

[0029] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
