Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of camera technology, and in particular to a binocular camera that can automatically switch viewing angles. Background Technology

[0002] A binocular camera is an image acquisition device designed based on computer vision principles. It consists of two physically separate cameras with similar parameters, which can accurately acquire data such as scene depth maps, object distance, size, and position. It is widely used in fields such as robot navigation, autonomous driving, 3D modeling, face recognition, gesture interaction, and augmented reality.

[0003] When switching camera views, the cameras rotate towards each other to adjust the viewing angle, and also rotate backwards to adjust the viewing angle. When two adjacent cameras use the backwards adjustment method, due to the characteristics of their mechanical structure layout, the adjustment motors at their rear are prone to collision. This collision not only interferes with the normal viewing angle adjustment process, but also significantly reduces the effective range of the camera's adjustable angle, thus adversely affecting the viewing angle coverage and image acquisition quality of the monitoring system. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem in the prior art where adjusting two adjacent cameras in opposite directions causes the adjustment motors at their tails to collide, thus affecting the adjustment angle range. The invention proposes a binocular camera that can automatically switch viewing angles.

[0009] Preferably, the four corners of the adapter are threaded with bolts, and one end of the bolt is threaded to one end of the viewing angle adjustment component.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0011] 1. In this utility model, by precisely controlling the displacement parameters of the slide rail, a sufficient rotation adjustment buffer area can be constructed between adjacent camera bodies. When the viewing angle adjustment component performs horizontal angle adjustment operations, its internal drive component has ample room for movement, which can effectively avoid the risk of mutual collision, thereby ensuring the stability and accuracy of the viewing angle adjustment process.

The drive ends of the two sets of linear motor slide rails 2 are fixedly connected to an adapter frame 20. The other end of the adapter frame 20 is fixedly connected to a viewing angle adjustment component 3. A camera body 4 is fixedly installed inside the viewing angle adjustment component 3. A rotation adjustment space is provided between two adjacent camera bodies 4. The signal input ends of the linear motor slide rails 2 and the viewing angle adjustment component 3 are connected to a viewing angle switching control terminal. Bolts are threadedly connected to the four corners of the adapter frame 20, and one end of the bolt is threadedly connected to one end of the viewing angle adjustment component 3.

[0021] The specific settings and functions of this embodiment will be described in detail below. During the collaborative operation of the dual cameras, the viewpoint switching control terminal transmits drive commands, and the two sets of linear motor slide rails 2 synchronously drive the camera bodies 4 to perform spacing adjustment operations. By precisely controlling the displacement parameters of the slide rails, a sufficient rotation adjustment buffer area can be constructed between adjacent camera bodies 4. On this basis, when the viewpoint adjustment component 3 performs horizontal angle adjustment operations, its internal drive components, due to their ample space for movement, can effectively avoid the risk of mutual collisions, thereby ensuring the stability and accuracy of the viewpoint adjustment process.

[0022] Example 2: Figures 1-4As shown, the binocular camera with automatic switching viewing angle of this utility model includes a side support frame 1. Two sets of linear motor slide rails 2 are symmetrically fixedly installed on one side of the side support frame 1. The drive ends of the two sets of linear motor slide rails 2 are fixedly connected to an adapter frame 20. The other end of the adapter frame 20 is fixedly connected to a viewing angle adjustment component 3. A camera body 4 is fixedly installed inside the viewing angle adjustment component 3. A rotation adjustment space is provided between two adjacent camera bodies 4. The signal input ends of the linear motor slide rails 2 and the viewing angle adjustment component 3 are connected to a viewing angle switching control terminal. The viewing angle adjustment component 3 includes a first mounting plate 31, a first drive motor 32, a first rotation adjustment side plate 33, and a horizontal rotation adjustment component. 34. The drive end of the first drive motor 32 is fixedly connected to one end of the first rotary adjustment side plate 33.

The horizontal rotary adjustment assembly 34 is fixedly installed at the other end of the first rotary adjustment side plate 33. The horizontal rotary adjustment assembly 34 includes a second drive motor 341 and a second rotary adjustment plate 342. One end of the second rotary adjustment plate 342 is fixedly connected to the drive end of the second drive motor 341.

The other end of the second rotary adjustment plate 342 is provided with a mounting groove 343. The camera body 4 is fixedly installed inside the mounting groove 343.

[0023] The overall effect of this embodiment is that when the viewing angle adjustment component 3 performs the angle adjustment task, the first drive motor 32, as the core power source, drives the first rotary adjustment side plate 33 to perform circular motion around its drive end axis. This rotational motion, through a mechanical transmission structure, further drives the horizontal rotary adjustment component 34 below to perform horizontal rotation adjustment. Meanwhile, the second drive motor 341 in the horizontal rotary adjustment component 34, through torque transmission from its output shaft, drives the second rotary adjustment plate 342 to complete axial rotation. Through the coordinated operation of the first drive motor 32 and the second drive motor 341, the camera body 4 achieves free viewing angle switching in both horizontal and axial dimensions, ensuring that it can meet diverse shooting angle requirements.

[0024] The device's operation and working principle are as follows: During dual-camera collaborative operation, the perspective switching control terminal transmits drive commands, and the two sets of linear motor slide rails 2 synchronously drive the camera bodies 4 to perform spacing adjustment operations. By precisely controlling the displacement parameters of the slide rails, a sufficient rotation adjustment buffer area can be constructed between adjacent camera bodies 4. Furthermore, when the perspective adjustment component 3 performs horizontal angle adjustment operations, its internal drive components have ample room for movement.

[0025] When the viewing angle adjustment component 3 performs the angle adjustment task, the first drive motor 32, as the core power source, drives the first rotary adjustment side plate 33 to perform circular motion around its drive end axis. This rotational motion, through a mechanical transmission structure, further drives the horizontal rotary adjustment component 34 below to perform horizontal rotation adjustment. Meanwhile, the second drive motor 341 in the horizontal rotary adjustment component 34 drives the second rotary adjustment plate 342 to complete axial rotation through torque transmission from its output shaft.
