Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of camera technology, specifically to a camera. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous improvement of industrial automation, cameras have been widely used in production, inspection, and monitoring, especially in quality inspection and logistics automation. As a key visual perception device, industrial cameras can efficiently capture and analyze images, helping factories achieve automation, improve production efficiency, and reduce human error.

[0003] To ensure the long-term stable operation of cameras, protective structures are needed to prevent direct damage to the lens from dust, dirt, physical impacts, etc. Existing cameras usually use lens caps to protect the lens. The lens cap is removed when using the camera, but frequent disassembly and reassembly can easily lead to the lens cap being lost. Moreover, after removing the lens cap, the camera lens is also unprotected and is easily affected by the external environment, resulting in a decrease or damage to image quality. Utility Model Content

[0007] A sliding frame, on which a slide rail is provided; and

[0008] The camera body has a slider that drives the camera body to move up and down along the slide rail. The lens end of the camera body has a protective mechanism. The protective mechanism includes multiple pieces that form a cover structure when closed. The multiple pieces are circumferentially arrayed and hinged to the lens end of the camera body.

[0009] The camera body is equipped with a drive component for driving the opening or closing of the protective mechanism's hinge.

[0010] Preferably, magnetic elements are provided on the edges and / or ends of the composite piece.

[0011] Preferably, the assemblies are arranged in a petal shape.

[0012] Preferably, the driving component is a winding knob, with one end of the traction line wound around the winding knob and the other end of the traction line connected to the assembly piece.

[0013] Preferably, the protective mechanism further includes a fixing part disposed on the camera body, the fixing part being located between the winding knob and the connecting piece, and the fixing part being provided with a guide hole for the traction wire to pass through.

[0014] Preferably, a return torsion spring is provided on the hinge end of the composite piece.

[0031] Example

[0032] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a camera, including a sliding frame 10 and a camera body 11; the sliding frame 10 is provided with a slide rail 101; the camera body 11 is provided with a slider (not shown in the figure) that drives the camera body 11 to slide up and down along the slide rail 101; a protective mechanism 111 is provided on the lens end of the camera body 11, the protective mechanism 111 includes multiple pieces 1111 that form a cover structure when closed, and the multiple pieces 1111 are circumferentially arrayed and hinged on the lens end of the camera body 11; the camera body 11 is provided with a driving member 112 for driving the pieces 1111 of the protective mechanism 111 to open or close.

[0033] Specifically, the camera body 11 can move up and down along the slide rail 101 to adjust the vertical position of the shot. The sliding bracket 10 can also be slidably mounted on the frame 12 of the device to adjust the horizontal shooting position, making the shooting range more flexible and versatile to meet the needs of different scenarios.

[0034] When the camera is not in use, the drive unit 112 can drive the closing plate 1111 of the protective mechanism 111 to form a cover structure to protect the camera lens from impurities and damage. When in use, the drive unit 112 drives the closing plate 1111 to open, exposing the lens, without the need to remove the protective mechanism 111, making operation simple and convenient. When the closing plate 1111 is open, it is tilted, which can effectively block external impurities and ensure that the shooting angle is not disturbed, thus protecting the lens and improving the stability and image quality of the camera during use.

[0035] Thus, by setting up the protective mechanism 111, not only can the lens be protected when not in use, extending its service life, but it can also prevent external impurities from obstructing the lens when in use, ensuring clear images. Furthermore, the protective mechanism 111 does not need to be removed when using the camera, preventing loss.

[0036] In this embodiment, magnetic elements (not shown in the figure) are provided on the edges and / or ends of the composite piece 1111. When the composite piece 1111 is closed, adjacent composite pieces 1111 can be tightly attracted by the magnetic elements to form a stable protective cover structure, which further enhances the protective effect and ensures the safety of the lens.

[0037] In this embodiment, the composite piece 1111 is arranged in a petal shape. When multiple composite pieces 1111 are closed and gathered together, they form a compact structure, which improves the overall aesthetics. Moreover, the petal-shaped arc design allows the composite pieces 1111 to fit seamlessly when closed, and the arc naturally unfolds when the composite pieces 1111 are opened, providing a good protective effect for the lens.

[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the driving component 112 is a winding knob, one end of the traction line 113 is wound on the winding knob, and the other end of the traction line 113 is connected to the assembly piece 1111.

[0039] Specifically, rotating the winding knob retracts the traction cable 113, causing the hinge 1111 to open simultaneously. By adjusting the length of the winding traction cable 113, the unfolding angle of the hinge 1111 can be precisely controlled, achieving the best balance between lens protection and shooting angle. Rotating the winding knob in the opposite direction releases the traction cable 113, causing the hinge 1111 to close, forming a tight protective barrier. This simplifies the operation process, improves efficiency, ensures stable operation of the camera in different environments, and extends the lifespan of the equipment.

[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in this embodiment, the protective mechanism 111 further includes a fixing part 1112 disposed on the camera body 11. The fixing part 1112 is located between the winding knob and the connecting piece 1111, and the fixing part 1112 is provided with a guide hole 11121 for the traction wire 113 to pass through. The guide hole 11121 guides the movement path of the traction wire 113, reduces friction, improves the smoothness of operation, and ensures that the connecting piece 1111 opens and closes smoothly.

[0041] In this embodiment, a reset torsion spring (not shown in the figure) is provided on the hinge end of the hinge 1111. When the winding knob is rotated to release the traction wire 113, the hinge 1111 can quickly and automatically reset to the closed state under the action of the reset torsion spring, ensuring that the lens is protected immediately and improving the convenience of operation.

[0042] In this embodiment, the winding knob is equipped with a locking structure that locks itself in place. The locking structure can be a spring-loaded locking structure, which engages with a locking part (e.g., a slot) on the camera body to achieve locking; pressing is required to disengage the locking part before rotation can occur. Alternatively, the locking structure can be a gear-engagement locking structure, where the engagement of the knob gear and the rotating gear, combined with a torsion spring reset, achieves angle fixation. After adjusting the winding knob, the locking structure secures its position, preventing accidental rotation and ensuring the stable opening of the latch 1111 and maintaining its opening angle.

[0043] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
