Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of camera protective cover technology, specifically a surveillance camera protective cover with intelligent supplementary lighting function. Background Technology
[0002] Surveillance cameras are semiconductor imaging devices with advantages such as high sensitivity, resistance to strong light, low distortion, small size, long lifespan, and vibration resistance. Most surveillance cameras are equipped with protective covers. However, for surveillance cameras used outdoors, traditional protective covers can only serve to protect against rain and dust.
[0003] Chinese patent CN213661734U discloses a protective cover for a surveillance camera, which includes a mounting base, a mounting cover, a telescopic cover, a solar panel, a camera body, and a telescopic drive mechanism. A heat insulation film is provided between the solar panel and the camera body. A photosensor is provided on the outside of the mounting base, and a battery and a controller are provided inside the mounting base. In practical applications, the photosensor senses the ambient brightness. When the ambient brightness is low, the controller controls the telescopic drive mechanism to extend the telescopic cover to protect the camera body from rain. When the ambient brightness is high, the controller controls the telescopic drive mechanism to retract the telescopic cover, exposing the solar panel, which converts light energy into electrical energy and stores it in the battery. The heat insulation film separates the solar panel and the camera body to prevent high temperatures from damaging the internal parts of the camera body. This utility model can both protect the camera and provide power to the camera after a power outage.
[0004] However, the protective cover disclosed in the above patent still has certain shortcomings in practical applications. When the ambient light is dim, the surveillance camera will not be able to achieve good and clear monitoring. The protective cover disclosed in the above patent does not have an intelligent supplementary light function, so that the surveillance camera can still achieve good and clear monitoring effect by relying on supplementary light in the dim ambient light. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a surveillance camera protective cover with intelligent supplementary lighting function, so as to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that the existing surveillance camera protective covers do not have intelligent supplementary lighting function.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a protective cover for a surveillance camera with intelligent supplementary lighting function, comprising a protective cover and a surveillance camera installed inside the protective cover. An ambient light sensor is installed on the cover body. A first cavity, a second cavity, and a third cavity are respectively opened in the bottom of the protective cover. A power module and a control module are installed in the first cavity. A supplementary lighting adjustment plate is provided on one side bottom of the protective cover. A rotating shaft is installed through the top plate of the supplementary lighting adjustment plate. Fixing blocks are fixed on both the front and rear bottom walls of one end of the protective cover. The two ends of the rotating shaft are rotatably connected to the fixing blocks on both sides. An LED light board is fixed on one side wall of the supplementary lighting adjustment plate. The LED light board, the ambient light sensor, the power module, and the control module are electrically connected. The cover body of the protective cover is provided with a supplementary lighting adjustment mechanism.
[0007] Preferably, the supplementary lighting adjustment mechanism includes a guide groove, a lead screw, a moving block, and a motor. The guide groove is formed in the bottom wall of the second cavity. The two ends of the lead screw are rotatably connected to the two side walls of the inner cavity of the second cavity, respectively. The motor is located in the cavity of the third cavity, and the output end of the motor is connected to one end of the lead screw via a coupling. The moving block is screwed onto the surface of the lead screw.
[0008] Preferably, the supplementary lighting adjustment mechanism further includes a vertical plate, a push rod, and a concave head. The plate body of the vertical plate movably passes through the cavity of the guide groove, and the top wall of the vertical plate is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the moving block. The right end of the push rod is fixedly connected to the left side wall of the vertical plate. The concave head is fixed to the right side wall of the supplementary lighting adjustment plate, and the left end of the push rod is rotatably connected to the concave head.
[0009] Preferably, the LED light panel has multiple heat dissipation fins arranged linearly on both the upper and lower sides, and the heat dissipation fins are fixedly installed on the body of the supplementary lighting adjustment plate.
[0010] Preferably, the first cavity, the second cavity, and the third cavity are located on the same horizontal axis.
[0011] Preferably, the width of the vertical plate is adapted to the width of the guide groove cavity.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] This invention incorporates an ambient light sensor, a power module, and a control module within a protective cover. The ambient light sensor detects the surrounding light intensity. When the light intensity is low and the surveillance camera struggles to capture clear images, the control module activates the LED light panel on the supplementary lighting adjustment plate to provide supplementary lighting, thus ensuring a good lighting environment for the surveillance camera. Furthermore, a motor drives a lead screw to rotate. Under the action of a guide groove, a moving block moves horizontally along the lead screw surface, causing the vertical plate and push rod to move horizontally. As the push rod moves, its rotatable connection with the concave head allows the supplementary lighting adjustment plate to move around its axis, thereby adjusting the direction of the supplementary lighting and enabling the surveillance camera to capture clear images over a wider range.

[0020] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4This utility model provides a technical solution: a protective cover for a surveillance camera with intelligent supplementary lighting function, including a protective cover 1 and a surveillance camera 3 installed inside the protective cover 1. An ambient light sensor 2 is installed on the cover of the protective cover 1 to monitor the light intensity of the surrounding environment. A first cavity 13, a second cavity 14, and a third cavity 15 are respectively opened in the bottom cover of the protective cover 1. A power module 18 and a control module 19 are installed in the cavity of the first cavity 13. The power module 18 is used to supply power to the control module 19 and the LED light board 7. A supplementary lighting adjustment plate 6 is also included. Located at the bottom left side of the protective cover 1, the rotating shaft 4 is installed through the top plate of the supplementary light adjustment plate 6. Fixing blocks 5 are welded to the bottom walls on both the front and rear sides of the left end of the protective cover 1. The shafts at both ends of the rotating shaft 4 are rotatably connected to the fixing blocks 5 on the front and rear sides via bearings. The purpose is to allow the supplementary light adjustment plate 6 to rotate. The LED light board 7 is fixed to the left side wall of the supplementary light adjustment plate 6 with screws. The LED light board 7, the ambient light sensor 2, the power module 18, and the control module 19 are electrically connected. The cover of the protective cover 1 is equipped with a supplementary light adjustment mechanism.
[0021] The supplementary lighting adjustment mechanism includes a guide groove 9, a lead screw 16, a moving block 17, and a motor 20. The guide groove 9 is located on the bottom wall of the second cavity 14. The left and right ends of the lead screw 16 are rotatably connected to the left and right side walls of the inner cavity of the second cavity 14 via bearings. The motor 20 is located in the cavity of the third cavity 15, and the output end of the motor 20 is connected to the right end of the lead screw 16 via a coupling. The moving block 17 is screwed onto the surface of the lead screw 16. The supplementary lighting adjustment mechanism also includes a vertical plate 10, a push rod 11, and a concave head 12. The plate of the vertical plate 10 moves through the cavity of the guide groove 9, and the top wall of the vertical plate 10 is connected to the moving block 17. The bottom wall of the moving block 17 is welded and connected. The right end of the push rod 11 is welded and connected to the left side wall of the vertical plate 10. The concave head 12 is welded to the right side wall of the supplementary light adjustment plate 6. The left end of the push rod 11 and the concave head 12 are rotatably connected via a pin. Multiple heat dissipation fins 8 are arranged linearly on both the upper and lower sides of the LED light board 7. The heat dissipation fins 8 are fixedly installed on the plate body of the supplementary light adjustment plate 6. The purpose is to dissipate heat from the LED light board 7. The first cavity 13, the second cavity 14 and the third cavity 15 are located on the same horizontal axis. The width of the vertical plate 10 is adapted to the width of the guide groove 9.
[0022] Working principle: By installing an ambient light sensor 2, a power module 18, and a control module 19 inside the protective cover 1, the ambient light sensor 2 can sense the light intensity of the surrounding environment. When the light intensity is low and the monitoring camera 3 has difficulty capturing clear images, the control module 19 can activate the LED light panel 7 on the supplementary light adjustment plate 6 to provide supplementary lighting, thereby ensuring that the monitoring camera 3 has a good lighting environment for shooting. Furthermore, by starting the motor 20 to drive the lead screw 16 to rotate, under the action of the guide groove 9, the moving block 17 moves horizontally along the surface of the lead screw 16, driving the vertical plate 10 and the push rod 11 to move horizontally. When the push rod 11 moves, due to its rotatable connection with the concave head 12, the supplementary light adjustment plate 6 can move around the rotating shaft 4, thereby adjusting the direction of the supplementary light illumination, which is beneficial for the monitoring camera 3 to achieve clear shooting over a wider range.
