Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology, and specifically relates to an installation structure for an inspection camera used in UAVs. Background Technology

[0002] The drone inspection camera consists of a camera probe base and a drone base. Through a plug-in connection and locking mechanism, a high-definition camera is installed on the drone for real-time capture and transmission of on-site images for remote monitoring and inspection. These cameras typically have high resolution and clear imaging capabilities, enabling them to capture detailed image information and are widely used in various inspection scenarios.

[0003] Current drone inspection camera installation structures can only use fixed camera models during installation, which cannot adapt to the diverse functional requirements of different scenarios and tasks. This results in limitations due to the fixed camera model, which cannot meet diverse task needs. Furthermore, the inability to quickly adjust the camera at multiple angles after installation means that when it is necessary to temporarily change the shooting direction, the shooting angle of the camera cannot be changed directly, and it can only be achieved by adjusting the drone's flight attitude, which affects the timeliness and effectiveness of inspection work. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an installation structure for a drone inspection camera, which has the advantages of being able to install different models of cameras and quickly adjust the shooting angle of the camera after installation.

[0005] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: an installation structure for a drone inspection camera, including a mounting plate, a mounting component provided at the bottom of the mounting plate, the mounting component including a positioning frame, two positioning shells one and two positioning shells two, a camera body being snapped between opposite sides of the positioning shells one and two, a steering component being fixedly installed at the bottom of the positioning frame, the steering component including a positioning disk, the bottom of the positioning disk being fixedly installed with the positioning frame.

[0006] The above technical solution works as follows: When a user needs to install different models of cameras, the user places the camera body to be installed into contact with the positioning frame. The user then pushes positioning shell one or positioning shell two, which in turn drives one of the transmission gear plate one, transmission gear plate two, or positioning gear plate one or positioning gear plate two. Through the meshing of the gear shaft and the other gear plates, positioning shell one or positioning shell two fixed to it is driven. When positioning shell one and positioning shell two engage with the mounting plate on the top of the camera body to be installed, the installation of different models of cameras is completed. After the user completes the installation of the camera, if the camera angle needs to be adjusted, the user starts the motor at the bottom of the mounting plate fixed to the bottom of the drone to drive the positioning disk to rotate. As the positioning disk moves, it drives the mounting components and the camera to rotate, completing the lateral angle adjustment of the camera. When the user needs to adjust the longitudinal angle of the camera, the user turns off the motor and starts the hydraulic rod at the position to be adjusted and the opposite position. The user controls the extension and retraction direction of the two hydraulic rods to be opposite to that of the other hydraulic rod, thereby driving the positioning disk through the fixing frame to complete the angle adjustment, thus completing the rapid adjustment of the camera's shooting angle.

[0007] The present invention is further configured such that the inner cavity of the positioning frame is movably connected to a gear shaft via a pin, and a transmission gear plate one and a transmission gear plate two mesh with the front and rear sides of the bottom of the gear shaft. The opposite sides of the transmission gear plate one and the transmission gear plate two are fixedly installed with the positioning shell one. The top two sides of the gear shaft are meshed with positioning gear plate one and positioning gear plate two, and the opposite sides of the positioning gear plate one and the positioning gear plate two are fixedly installed with the positioning shell two.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the installation of camera bodies of different models can be completed by setting up the positioning frame, gear shaft, transmission gear plate one, transmission gear plate two, positioning gear plate one, positioning gear plate two, positioning shell one and positioning shell two in the installation assembly.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that a retaining ring is sleeved on the top of the gear shaft, and the top of the retaining ring is fixedly installed with the mounting plate.

[0010] The above technical solution is adopted: by using a retaining ring, the position of the gear shaft is prevented from shifting during rotation, which would affect the meshing drive of transmission gear plate one, transmission gear plate two, positioning gear plate one, and positioning gear plate two, thus enabling the rapid installation of the camera body.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that a positioning plate is fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the positioning frame, the bottom of the positioning plate is slidably connected to the first transmission tooth plate and the second transmission tooth plate, and the top of the positioning plate is slidably connected to the first positioning tooth plate and the second positioning tooth plate.

[0012] The above technical solution is adopted: by setting a positioning plate, the moving positions of transmission gear plate 1, transmission gear plate 2, positioning gear plate 1, and positioning gear plate 2 are positioned when they move continuously through the gear shaft, so as to prevent the position from deviating during use.

[0013] The present invention is further configured such that a motor is fixedly installed on the steering assembly, the bottom of the motor is fixedly installed on the mounting plate, a limit bracket is snapped into the bottom of the motor output end, and the bottom of the limit bracket is fixedly installed on the positioning plate.

[0014] The above technical solution is adopted: by setting the motor, limit frame and positioning plate in the steering component to work together, the lateral shooting angle of the camera can be quickly adjusted.

[0015] The present invention is further configured such that four retaining frames are slidably connected to the surface of the positioning disk, and hydraulic rods are engaged in the inner cavity of the retaining frames by means of shaft pins, and the top of the hydraulic rods is fixedly installed to the mounting plate.

[0016] The above technical solution involves setting up a mounting bracket and a hydraulic rod to quickly adjust the camera's longitudinal angle when the user needs to do so.

[0017] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. When the user needs to install different models of cameras, the user puts the camera body to be installed into contact with the positioning frame. The user then pushes positioning shell one or positioning shell two, which drives one of the transmission gear plate one, transmission gear plate two, positioning gear plate one or positioning gear plate two. Through the meshing of the gear shaft and the other gear plates, positioning shell one or positioning shell two fixed thereto is driven. When positioning shell one and positioning shell two are engaged with the mounting plate on the top of the camera body to be installed, the installation of different models of cameras is completed.

[0019] 2. After the user completes the installation of the camera, when the camera angle needs to be adjusted, the user starts the motor at the bottom of the mounting plate fixed to the bottom of the drone to rotate the positioning plate. As the positioning plate moves, it also rotates the mounting components and the camera, thus adjusting the horizontal angle of the camera. When the user needs to adjust the vertical angle of the camera, the user turns off the motor and starts the hydraulic rod that needs to be adjusted and is opposite to it. The user controls the extension and retraction direction of the two hydraulic rods to be opposite to that of the other hydraulic rod, and then the positioning plate is driven by the fixing frame to complete the angle adjustment, thereby quickly adjusting the shooting angle of the camera.

[0029] Furthermore, a positioning plate 210 is fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the positioning frame 201. The bottom of the positioning plate 210 is slidably connected to the first transmission gear plate 203 and the second transmission gear plate 204, and the top of the positioning plate 210 is slidably connected to the first positioning gear plate 205 and the second positioning gear plate 206.

[0030] Brief description of usage: When installing different models of cameras, the user places the camera body 3 to be installed into contact with the positioning frame 201. The user then pushes positioning shell 1 207 or positioning shell 208, which in turn drives one of the transmission gear plates 1 203, 2 204, 1 205, or 2 206. Through the meshing of the gear shaft 202 and the other gear plates, the user drives the fixed positioning shell 1 207 or positioning shell 208. Once positioning shell 1 207 and positioning shell 208 engage with the mounting plate on top of the camera body 3, the installation of different models of cameras is completed. By setting the positioning frame 201, gear shaft 202, transmission gear plate 1 203, transmission gear plate 204, positioning gear plate 1 205, positioning gear plate 206, positioning shell 1 207, and positioning shell 208 in the installation assembly 2, the installation of different models of camera bodies 3 is completed.

[0033] Furthermore, the steering assembly 4 is fixedly mounted with a motor 401, the bottom of the motor 401 is fixedly mounted with the mounting plate 1, the bottom of the output end of the motor 401 is snapped into a limit bracket 402, and the bottom of the limit bracket 402 is fixedly mounted with a positioning plate 403.

[0034] Furthermore, four retaining brackets 404 are slidably connected to the surface of the positioning plate 403. Hydraulic rods 405 are snapped into the inner cavity of the retaining brackets 404 by means of shaft pins. The top of the hydraulic rods 405 is fixedly installed with the mounting plate 1.

[0035] Brief description of usage: After the user completes the installation of the camera, when the camera angle needs to be adjusted, the user starts the motor 401 at the bottom of the mounting plate 1 fixed to the bottom of the drone, which drives the positioning disk 403 to rotate. As the positioning disk 403 moves, it drives the mounting component 2 and the camera to rotate, thus completing the horizontal angle adjustment of the camera. When the user needs to adjust the vertical angle of the camera, the user turns off the motor 401 and starts the hydraulic rod 405 at the position to be adjusted and the opposite position. The user controls the extension and retraction direction of the two hydraulic rods 405 to be opposite to that of the other hydraulic rod 405, which in turn drives the positioning disk 403 through the fixing frame 404 to complete the angle adjustment, thereby completing the rapid adjustment of the camera's shooting angle. By setting the motor 401, the limiting frame 402 and the positioning disk 403 in the steering component 4 to work together, the horizontal shooting angle of the camera can be quickly adjusted.
