Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of monitoring equipment, and in particular to a monitoring camera device. Background Technology

[0002] Surveillance cameras generally have basic functions such as video recording, transmission, and still image capture. They have penetrated every corner of our lives and work, appearing in homes, offices, public places, and along roads, providing security for our lives and work. Surveillance cameras are typically powered by mains electricity or solar photovoltaic panels and batteries, allowing them to operate continuously 24 hours a day.

[0003] Since surveillance cameras are typically installed outdoors, birds often perch on top of them. When birds land on solar photovoltaic panels, their claws can easily scratch the surface, inevitably affecting the panels' functionality.

[0004] In addition, if insects attach to the light path of the surveillance camera, they will inevitably block the light path, thus affecting the imaging effect after the camera is captured. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings mentioned above, this invention provides a monitoring camera device that can scare away birds and prevent insects from landing on the transparent sheet.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a surveillance camera device, comprising:

[0007] The housing has a transparent sheet on its front end face;

[0008] The support structure includes a first support portion connected to the housing and a second support portion connected to the fixed surface;

[0009] An imaging module is installed inside the housing, with its front end facing the transparent sheet to obtain image information of the current monitoring area;

[0010] A microphone, mounted on the front surface of the housing, acquires sound information in the current monitoring area;

[0011] A sonic bird deterrent assembly is located inside the housing, with its working end penetrating the top end face of the housing and facing the upper region of the housing.

[0014] The control module is connected to the imaging module, the microphone, the acoustic bird repeller component, the conductive insect repeller component, and the power supply component, respectively. It combines the image information and the sound information into image information, drives the acoustic bird repeller component to emit acoustic bird repeller medium, and controls the power supply component to continuously input working current to the conductive insect repeller component.

[0015] In one embodiment, the housing includes a lower housing and an upper cover plate covering the lower housing, wherein the upper cover plate includes a first plate covering the top end face of the lower housing, a second plate covering at least a portion of the side wall of the lower housing, and a third plate extending to the front of the front end face of the lower housing.

[0016] In one embodiment, a through hole is formed in a region corresponding to the top end face of the lower housing and the top end face of the first plate, and the working end of the acoustic bird deterrent assembly is placed in the through hole, facing the upper region of the housing.

[0017] In one embodiment, the acoustic bird deterrent assembly includes a bird-detecting radar for sensing the approach of birds and an ultrasonic generator for emitting high-frequency ultrasonic waves. Both the bird-detecting radar and the ultrasonic generator are connected to the control module, wherein the working ends of the bird-detecting radar and the ultrasonic generator are both facing the upper region of the housing.

[0018] In one embodiment, the imaging module includes a lens barrel assembly, a filter, and an image sensor arranged sequentially from front to back, wherein the lens barrel assembly includes a lens barrel and an infrared lamp plate sleeved on the outside of the lens barrel.

[0020] In one embodiment, the control module includes an information synthesis unit, a signal processing unit, and a driving circuit unit connected in sequence, wherein:

[0021] The information synthesis unit is used to synthesize the image information and the sound information into audio-visual information;

[0022] The signal processing unit generates a drive signal for driving the battery according to a preset control signal;

[0023] The drive circuit unit controls the acoustic bird-repelling component and the conductive insect-repelling component according to the drive signal.

[0024] In one embodiment, the system further includes a transmission module connected to the control module, wherein the transmission module is connected to a remote control center and sends synthesized audio-visual information to the control center and receives instructions sent by the control center.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has one of the following advantages:

Detailed Implementation

[0036] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with specific embodiments and corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0037] This utility model provides a surveillance camera device, including:

[0038] The shell has a transparent sheet on its front end face;

[0039] The support structure includes a first support portion connected to the shell and a second support portion connected to the fixed surface;

[0040] The imaging module is installed inside the housing, with its front end facing the transparent sheet to obtain image information of the current monitoring area;

[0041] A microphone, mounted on the front surface of the housing, acquires sound information from the current monitored area;

[0042] The sonic bird deterrent assembly is located inside the housing, with its working end penetrating the top end face of the housing and facing the upper area of ​​the housing.

[0043] A conductive insect repellent component surrounds and is fixed to the outside of the transparent sheet.

[0044] The power supply components include a solar photovoltaic panel fixed to the top end face of the housing and a battery located inside the housing;

[0045] The control module is connected to the imaging module, microphone, sonic bird repeller, conductive insect repeller, and power supply module, respectively. It combines image and sound information into video information, drives the sonic bird repeller to emit sonic bird repeller medium, and controls the power supply module to continuously input working current to the conductive insect repeller.

[0046] In this invention, by adding a sound wave bird deterrent component, birds in the area around the camera device can be detected. When a bird is detected approaching, the ultrasonic generator emits high-frequency ultrasonic waves to interfere with the bird's biological sensory organs, thereby achieving the purpose of driving away the bird.

[0047] Since the acoustic bird deterrent component is located inside the housing, it does not increase the size of the monitoring camera equipment;

[0048] By adding a conductive insect-repelling component, insects crawling towards the transparent sheet can be eliminated, preventing them from staying on the transparent sheet and affecting the imaging effect.

[0049] Example 1

[0050] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this embodiment provides a monitoring camera device, including a housing, a support structure, an imaging module 20, a microphone 9, a sound wave bird repellent component, a conductive insect repellent component, a power supply component, and an MCU module 19.

[0051] Specifically, the housing includes a lower housing 1 and an upper cover plate covering the lower housing 1, wherein the upper cover plate includes a first plate 2 covering the top end face of the lower housing 1, a second plate 3 obliquely covering a portion of the side wall of the lower housing 1, and a third plate 4 horizontally extending to the front of the front end face of the lower housing 1.

[0052] Furthermore, through holes are formed in the corresponding areas of the top end face of the lower housing 1 and the top end face of the first plate 2, and the working end of the sound wave bird deterrent assembly is placed in the through holes, facing the upper area of ​​the housing.

[0053] Furthermore, a portion of the bottom end face of the lower housing 1 is formed with an extension 22 extending downward therefrom, and a portion of the microphone 9 is fixed to the extension 22.

[0054] Since the microphone 9 is fixed on the extension 22, it does not affect the size of the conductive insect repellent component on the front end face of the lower housing 1.

[0055] There is an opening area on the front end of the lower housing 1, and a transparent sheet 7 is fixed in the opening area.

[0056] Specifically, the support structure includes a first support portion 16 connected to the shell and a second support portion 17 connected to the fixed surface.

[0057] Furthermore, the first support 16 is a columnar structure, with its first end connected to the rear end face of the lower housing 1 and its second end connected to the second support 17. The second support 17 is a rectangular structure with a certain thickness, and the second support 17 is fixed to the wall by fasteners (e.g., screws).

[0058] Specifically, the power supply components include a solar photovoltaic panel 8 and a battery 18. The battery 18 contains a charging and discharging MCU module 19, which is connected to the solar photovoltaic panel 8.

[0059] Furthermore, the solar photovoltaic panel 8 is fixed to a portion of the top end face of the first panel 2 and to the top end face of the third panel 4, and the battery 18 is fixed inside the lower housing 1.

[0060] Specifically, the acoustic bird deterrent assembly includes a bird-detecting radar 10 for sensing the approach of birds and an ultrasonic generator 11 for emitting high-frequency ultrasonic waves. Both the bird-detecting radar 10 and the ultrasonic generator 11 are connected to the MCU module 19. The working ends of the bird-detecting radar 10 and the ultrasonic generator 11 are both facing the upper area of ​​the housing.

[0061] Furthermore, since the working end of the bird detection radar 10 passes through the first through hole 5 and faces the upper area of ​​the housing, and the working end of the ultrasonic generator 11 passes through the second through hole 6 and faces the upper area of ​​the housing, it can detect birds in the area surrounding the monitoring camera. When a bird is detected approaching the upper area of ​​the monitoring camera, the MCU module 19 controls the ultrasonic generator 11 to emit high-frequency ultrasonic waves to interfere with the bird's biological sensory organs, thereby achieving the purpose of driving away the bird.

[0062] The bird detection radar 10 and the ultrasonic generator 11, except for the working end, are fixed inside the lower housing 1, so the size of the monitoring camera equipment is not increased.

[0063] Specifically, the imaging module 20 is connected to the MCU module 19 and inputs the acquired image information into the MCU module 19. This includes a lens barrel assembly, a filter, and an image sensor arranged sequentially from front to back. The lens barrel assembly, filter, and image sensor are all fixed inside the lower housing 1. The image sensor is connected to the MCU module 19. The lens barrel assembly includes a lens barrel 14, a first lens group and a second lens group installed inside the lens barrel 14, and an infrared lamp plate 14 sleeved on the outside of the lens barrel 14. The first lens group and the infrared lamp plate 14 are located adjacent to the transparent sheet 7, and the second lens group is located adjacent to the filter.

[0064] The first lens group includes two adjacent first lenses, and the second lens group includes two adjacent second lenses.

[0065] Furthermore, this patent does not limit the types of the first and second lenses, as long as they can form an image-forming optical system, obtain image information of the current area, and do not affect the imaging effect.

[0066] Alternatively, the lens barrel 14 can be made of conventional materials, such as PC, which helps to improve product yield and increase production efficiency.

[0067] The lens barrel assembly adopts a modular design, which makes it easy to select the appropriate lens barrel assembly according to different application environments, so as to ensure the imaging effect in the current application environment.

[0068] To facilitate the replacement and assembly of the lens barrel assembly, the lens barrel assembly is installed inside the lower housing 1 using a movable connection method. This movable connection method includes, but is not limited to, threaded connection and snap-fit ​​connection methods.

[0069] Optionally, the first lens and the second lens can be fixed inside the lens barrel 14 with adhesive.

[0070] When the imaging module 20 is working, light of a specific wavelength range passes through the first lens group, the second lens group, and the filter in sequence before entering the image sensor, thereby obtaining image information in the current area.

[0071] Specifically, the microphone 9 is used to acquire sound information in the current area, including a sound acquisition part, which is fixed on the extension 22 and faces the current area.

[0072] Microphone 9 is connected to MCU module 19 and inputs the acquired sound information into MCU module 19.

[0073] Specifically, the conductive insect repellent component includes a support frame 12 and a conductive mesh 13 fixed on the support frame 12. The support frame 12 is a frame structure, and a slot for the conductive mesh 13 is formed in the central area of ​​the frame structure. The conductive mesh 13 is fixed inside the slot for the conductive mesh 13.

[0074] Furthermore, the support frame 12 can be fixed to the outside of the transparent sheet 7 with screws.

[0075] After the battery 18 inputs current into the conductive mesh 13, the conductive mesh 13 shocks insects that move to or stay on its surface under the action of the current, thereby eliminating the insects and preventing them from staying on the transparent sheet and affecting the imaging effect.

[0076] Specifically, the MCU module 19 includes an information synthesis unit, a signal processing unit, and a drive circuit unit connected in sequence.

[0077] Furthermore, the information synthesis unit is connected to the image sensor and microphone 9 to synthesize image information and sound information into audio-visual information.

[0078] The signal processing unit generates a drive signal for driving the battery 18 based on a preset control signal.

[0079] The drive circuit unit controls the sound wave bird-repelling component and the conductive insect-repelling component according to the drive signal.

[0080] Specifically, the MCU module 19 is connected to the transmission module 21, which is connected to the remote control center to send the synthesized audio and video information to the control center and receive instructions sent by the control center.

[0081] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is illustrative rather than restrictive. Those skilled in the art will understand that many changes, modifications, and even equivalents can be made within the spirit and scope defined by the claims of this utility model, all of which will fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
