Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pan-tilt camera technology, specifically a pan-tilt camera with damping. Background Technology

[0002] Pan-tilt cameras are commonly used devices in video surveillance systems. They allow for horizontal and vertical rotation of the camera, thus covering a wider monitoring range. With technological advancements, modern pan-tilt cameras not only possess high-definition video capture capabilities but also incorporate network transmission and remote control functions, making monitoring more flexible and convenient. However, when the pan-tilt rotates, it can experience "overshoot" (a slight swaying motion after rotation stops due to inertia) or severe shaking at the start and stop, resulting in blurred images and ghosting. This shaking directly affects the usability of the content, especially in surveillance and film shooting scenarios. To avoid such issues, damped pan-tilt cameras have been introduced to the market.

[0003] Currently, in surveillance systems, damped PTZ cameras are typically installed in several ways, including desktop placement, ceiling mounting, and wall mounting. Different installation methods are suitable for different usage scenarios and monitoring needs. To adapt to different installation environments, PTZ camera designs usually consider the diversity of installation modes. However, while existing damped PTZ cameras consider the needs of desktop and ceiling mounting, their design for wall mounting is not perfect. Especially for wall mounting, a separate mounting bracket is required. If the camera does not provide a 90-degree tilt setting and bracket, the recorded image may be sideways after the camera is mounted on the wall, making the monitoring image unviewable and affecting the monitoring effect. Therefore, we propose a damped PTZ camera. Utility Model Content

[0025] Example 1

[0026] Please see Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a pan-tilt camera with damping, comprising:

[0027] The gimbal body 1 has an L-shaped storage groove 102 at its bottom, and positioning threaded holes 103 are provided at both the left and right ends of the L-shaped storage groove 102.

[0028] The movable support plate 4 slides on the inner side of the lower end of the L-shaped storage groove 102. The left end of the movable support plate 4 is provided with a flip groove 404. The inner side of the flip groove 404 is provided with a mounting block 402 through a movable shaft. One end of the mounting block 402 is provided with a mounting groove 406. The inner surface of the right end of the movable support plate 4 is provided with a positioning groove 405.

[0029] The top of the rotating base 2 and the gimbal body 1 is fixedly connected to a stabilizing rail ring 101, and the bottom of the rotating base 2 slides on the outer surface of the stabilizing rail ring 101.

[0030] The inner side of the mounting groove 406 is provided with mounting bolts 403, and one end of the mounting bolts 403 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the L-shaped storage groove 102. The inner side of the positioning groove 405 is provided with positioning bolts 401, and one end of the positioning bolts 401 is threadedly connected to the positioning threaded hole 103. The rotating seat 2 has a U-shaped structure and is located above the gimbal body 1.

[0031] This technical solution: By setting the L-shaped storage slot 102, when the PTZ camera needs to be wall-mounted, the mounting bolts 403 and positioning bolts 401 are loosened with tools, and the movable support plate 4 is moved outward to its limit at the lower end of the L-shaped storage slot 102 (a limit block is set at the right end of the movable support plate 4, such as...). Figure 4 (As shown), then, the rotating positioning bolt 401 is threaded again into the positioning threaded hole 103 at the left end of the L-shaped storage groove 102 (as shown). Figure 3 As shown), then, with the assistance of the movable shaft, the mounting block 402 is rotated downwards by 180 degrees (as shown). Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the flip groove 404 is not completely through, which can limit the position of the mounting block 402. Then, with the cooperation of the mounting groove 406 and the mounting bolt 403, the device can be installed on the wall. It is convenient to use and meets the diversity of installation modes. It can also avoid the situation where the device is installed on the wall sideways. If it is not needed after installation, the mounting block 402 and the movable bearing plate 4 can be reset and stored after disassembly. The operation is simple. The setting of the stabilizing rail ring 101 ensures the stability of the rotating seat 2 during rotation.

[0032] Example 2

[0033] Based on Embodiment 1, this utility model is as follows: Figures 1-5 As shown, a first damping shaft 104 is fixedly installed at the middle of the bottom of the rotating base 2, and a first drive motor 105 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the inner side of the gimbal body 1. The output end of the first drive motor 105 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the first damping shaft 104 through a coupling.

[0034] This technical solution: When the first drive motor 105 rotates, it can drive the first damping shaft 104 and the rotating seat 2 to rotate via the coupling. With the assistance of the stabilizing rail ring 101, the rotation of the rotating seat 2 is damped, which can effectively prevent overshoot, swaying and shaking.

[0035] The components include: gimbal body 1, stabilizing rail ring 101, L-shaped storage slot 102, positioning threaded hole 103, first damping shaft 104, first drive motor 105, rotating seat 2, right connecting seat 201, left connecting seat 202, right mounting slot 203, second drive motor 204, left mounting slot 205, second damping shaft 206, camera body 3, movable support plate 4, positioning bolt 401, mounting block 402, mounting bolt 403, flipping slot 404, positioning recess 405, and mounting recess 406.

[0036] Example 3

[0037] Based on Embodiment 1, this utility model is as follows: Figures 1-5 As shown, the upper part of the rotating base 2 is provided with a left mounting groove 205 and a right mounting groove 203 at its two ends respectively. A second damping shaft 206 is provided at the middle of the inner side of the right mounting groove 203. A right connecting seat 201 is fixedly connected to the left side of the second damping shaft 206. A second drive motor 204 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the left mounting groove 205. The output end of the second drive motor 204 is fixedly connected to the left connecting seat 202. A camera body 3 is fixedly installed between the left connecting seat 202 and the right connecting seat 201.

[0038] This technical solution: When the second drive motor 204 drives the left connecting seat 202 and the camera body 3 to rotate, the camera body 3 can drive the right connecting seat 201 and the second damping shaft 206 to rotate, thereby making the rotation of the camera body 3 damped, which can effectively avoid overshoot, swaying and shaking, and ensure the monitoring quality of the camera body 3.

[0039] It should be noted that the pan-tilt body 1, stabilizing rail ring 101, first damping shaft 104, first drive motor 105, rotating base 2, second drive motor 204, second damping shaft 206, camera body 3, positioning bolt 401 and mounting bolt 403 used in this pan-tilt camera can all be purchased directly from the market. At the same time, the connection methods and electrical connections of each component adopt mature and conventional methods in the existing technology, so they will not be described in detail here.
