Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Existing conference cameras suffer from a significant drawback in terms of narrow field of view, primarily manifested in insufficient coverage of the meeting scene and poor flexibility. A narrow field of view prevents the complete capture of all participants in the meeting room, especially in situations with multiple participants or long conference tables. Some individuals may be excluded from the frame, affecting remote participants' overall perception of the meeting. This shortcoming typically stems from the camera's physical optical design, such as a fixed focal length or limited wide-angle capabilities, making it unsuitable for meeting spaces of varying sizes.

[0003] To address this issue, conventional approaches include manually adjusting the camera angle, adding multiple cameras to cover different areas, or using a camera with PTZ control for remote operation. However, manual adjustment disrupts the meeting flow and requires dedicated personnel; multi-camera solutions increase equipment costs and system complexity, and may also cause inconsistent image transitions; while PTZ control is limited by equipment performance and may suffer from operational delays or insufficient coverage. Therefore, we aim to design a new type of conference camera with a novel structure to solve this problem. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a panoramic conference camera to solve the problems mentioned in the background technology.

[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a panoramic conference camera, comprising: a static camera component, wherein a dynamic camera component for dynamically capturing and recording images is installed on the upper side of the static camera component, the static camera component includes a storage module, a static camera module is provided in front of the storage module, and a static camera body is respectively provided on the front, left, and right front sides of the static camera module;

[0006] The dynamic camera assembly includes a rotating base, on the upper side of which is an adjustment base for adjusting the elevation angle of the dynamic camera body. A dynamic camera body is respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the adjustment base for dynamic recording.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment, the storage module is equipped with a motherboard circuit, an output interface for data processing and data transmission, and connection to external devices. The storage module is also equipped with a backup power module for supplying power to the static camera and the dynamic camera.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment, the static camera module is equipped with an image sensor to convert light signals into electrical signals, thereby determining image quality and low-light performance. In actual use, the static camera body can continuously record static images in a fixed direction.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, a hinge seat is provided on the rear side of the lower end of the storage module, and the storage module is hinged to the upper rear side of the mounting base through the hinge seat. A threaded blind hole is provided in the middle of the lower end of the mounting base for fixing the mounting base.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the included angle between the three static camera bodies is 30 degrees, and the three static camera bodies are of the same specification.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the rotating base and the adjusting base form a gimbal module for driving the dynamic camera body to rotate in a circle and adjust the elevation angle. The upper side of the rotating base is fixedly connected to the lower end of the adjusting base.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the two dynamic camera bodies are identical in specifications. The adjustment base is equipped with two sets of worm gear transmission and gear meshing mechanisms, which work in conjunction with two independent micro motors to provide power for adjusting the two dynamic camera bodies respectively. The adjustment base is also equipped with an integrated gyroscope sensor for elevation adjustment. In actual use, the two dynamic camera bodies can rotate and adjust their elevation angle to capture images from different angles, thereby meeting the foreground recording requirements of the entire device.

[0013] After adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1.

By placing it on one side of the conference room, the view of the 180-degree angle range directly in front can be fully recorded.

[0014] 2. By setting up a dynamic camera component, since the adjustment base is equipped with two sets of worm gear transmission and gear meshing mechanisms with two independent micro motors, and the adjustment base is also equipped with an integrated gyroscope sensor for elevation angle adjustment, the elevation angle of the two dynamic cameras can be adjusted when needed. With the rotating base on the lower side, rotation and tilt recording can be performed as needed. Combined with the static camera component, panoramic conference recording of the entire device is realized, so that the entire conference camera meets the needs of conference video recording.
