Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electric vehicle charging system technology, and more specifically to a dual-camera device for a roadside charging system. Background Technology

[0002] Roadside charging systems designed for new energy vehicles need to be equipped with cameras to photograph parking spaces. The cameras play a crucial role in not only detecting whether a vehicle has entered the parking space, but also identifying the vehicle's license plate. The traditional method is to install one camera in the area corresponding to each parking space for targeted shooting. This method is complicated to install and requires reserving installation space for the camera in the corresponding area. Alternatively, there is a solution that uses a camera with a rotating lens to shoot multiple parking spaces at the same time. However, this method has low shooting accuracy and is prone to missing shots. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings, the purpose of this application is to provide a dual-side camera device for a roadside charging system, thereby effectively solving the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] This application provides a dual-side camera device for a roadside charging system, wherein the dual-side camera device is disposed between two adjacent first and second parking spaces on the roadside, comprising:

[0006] The housing includes a first mounting surface and a second mounting surface. The first mounting surface includes an inclined surface that slopes towards the first parking space, and the second mounting surface includes an inclined surface that slopes towards the second parking space. The first mounting surface and the second mounting surface are mirror-symmetrically arranged.

[0007] A first camera is provided on the first mounting surface. The first camera is aimed at the first parking space to capture images within the area of ​​the first parking space, and a second camera is aimed at the second parking space to capture images within the area of ​​the second parking space.

[0008] Furthermore, a first light source is also provided on the first mounting surface, and the first light source is configured corresponding to the first camera. A second light source is also provided on the second mounting surface, and the second light source is configured corresponding to the second camera.

[0009] Furthermore, both the first light source and the second light source are rectangular light panels.

[0010] Furthermore, a raised first light-shielding plate is provided on the first mounting surface above the first camera, and a raised second light-shielding plate is provided on the second mounting surface above the second camera. The first light-shielding plate and the second light-shielding plate each include an arc plate.

[0011] Furthermore, a first reinforcing structure and a second reinforcing structure are respectively provided on the upper and lower parts of the housing.

[0012] Furthermore, a photoelectric sensor is provided on the top of the housing. Beneficial effects

[0013] This design incorporates a dual-camera device for roadside charging systems. One camera unit integrates two cameras, allowing simultaneous capture of images from two adjacent parking spaces. This ensures the accuracy of the roadside charging system's camera shots while reducing the difficulty of installing the system and saving installation space. Attached Figure Description

Example

[0023] One embodiment of this application provides a dual-side camera device for a roadside charging system. The dual-side camera device A is disposed between two adjacent first parking spaces B and second parking spaces C on the roadside. Figure 1-2 As shown, the device includes a housing, which includes a first mounting surface 1 and a second mounting surface 2. The first mounting surface 1 includes an inclined surface that slopes towards a first parking space, and the second mounting surface 2 includes an inclined surface that slopes towards a second parking space. The first mounting surface 1 and the second mounting surface 2 are arranged in a mirror-symmetrical manner. A first camera 3 is disposed on the first mounting surface 1, and the first camera 3 is aimed at the first parking space to capture images within the area of ​​the first parking space. A second camera 4 is disposed on the second mounting surface 2.

[0024] The second camera 4 is aimed at the second parking space to capture images within the area of ​​the second parking space; one shooting device integrates two cameras to simultaneously capture images of two adjacent parking spaces, ensuring the accuracy of the roadside charging system's camera capture while reducing the installation difficulty of the roadside charging system and saving installation space.

A second light source 6 is also provided on the second mounting surface 2, and the second light source 6 is set in correspondence with the second camera 4. The first light source 5 and the second light source 6 are rectangular light panels. The first light source 5 and the second light source 6 can be turned on when the environment is dark, so that the corresponding camera can take pictures of the parking space.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, a raised first light-shielding plate 7 is provided on the first mounting surface 1 above the first camera 3, and a raised second light-shielding plate 8 is provided on the second mounting surface 2 above the second camera 4.
