Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fire helmet camera technology, specifically to a visible light and thermal imaging fire helmet camera. Background Technology
[0002] The visible light and thermal imaging fire helmet camera is a cutting-edge observation system integrated into firefighters' helmets. Equipped with both a visible light camera and an infrared thermal imaging camera, it can overlay and transmit real-time images and thermal radiation data from the scene, penetrating dense smoke and darkness to accurately locate fire sources and trapped individuals. This significantly improves fire scene reconnaissance efficiency and personnel safety, making it a key piece of equipment in modern firefighting.
[0003] In the current technology, infrared thermal imaging and visible light cameras are generally externally mounted on the side or sides of the helmet. Cameras on both sides may cause a large discrepancy between the images captured by the camera and what the human eye sees. Furthermore, if the infrared and visible light cameras are mounted on the sides separately, the two images will have a large discrepancy and require post-processing adjustments.
[0004] Therefore, a visible light and thermal imaging fire helmet camera is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a visible light and thermal imaging fire helmet camera to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model specifically adopts the following technical solution: A visible light and thermal imaging fire helmet camera includes a camera box, a mini damping hinge on the camera box, a camera housing on the camera box, the mini damping hinge on the camera housing, a camera box base on the camera housing, a stabilized camera mounting bracket on the camera box base, a visible light camera on the stabilized camera mounting bracket, an infrared thermal imaging camera on the stabilized camera mounting bracket, and an FPC sealing cover on the camera box base.
[0007] Furthermore, the number of mini damping shafts is set to two, and they are symmetrically distributed.
[0008] Furthermore, the surface of the image-stabilized camera mounting base is provided with a mounting groove, and the mounting groove is adapted to the visible light camera and the infrared thermal imaging camera. The visible light camera and the infrared thermal imaging camera are fixedly connected to the image-stabilized camera mounting base by screws.
[0009] Furthermore, three inverted clips are fixedly installed on the surface of the camera housing and are snap-fitted to the camera box base.
[0010] Furthermore, the FPC sealing cover is provided with a sealing gasket, and the sealing gasket is made of silicone rubber.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This invention, through the design of a mini damping hinge and an FPC sealing cover, allows for the placement of a visible light camera and an infrared thermal imaging camera into their corresponding mounting slots on a stabilized camera mounting base. Appropriate screws are used to firmly secure them to the mounting base, which is then mounted on the camera housing base. The FPC cables for the visible light and infrared thermal imaging cameras are carefully inserted into their corresponding interfaces on the stabilized camera mounting base, arranging the cables along the designed cable channels leading to the camera housing base. The FPC sealing cover is then placed on top, pressing and securing the FPC cables to prevent loosening or detachment. The FPC sealing cover, in conjunction with a sealing gasket, provides excellent sealing at the cable exit points. The sealing gasket is made of silicone rubber, which is durable and resistant to moisture. With excellent high and low temperature performance, superior elasticity and resilience, and good chemical stability, the camera housing is secured by tightening the sealing cover with fixing screws. Then, the camera housing base is inserted into the three inverted clips around the camera housing. Utilizing the elastic deformation of the plastic, a snap-fit connection is achieved between the camera housing and the camera housing base. The camera housing is then connected and fixed to the camera box via mini-damping hinges on both sides, completing the overall installation. Due to the two mini-damping hinges, the camera angle can be freely adjusted during use. The compact installation of the visible light camera and the infrared thermal imaging camera minimizes the deviation between the infrared and visible light images. The mini-damping hinges allow for manual adjustment of the camera angle, improving the consistency between the camera image and the field of view observed by the human eye. The modular design makes disassembly, maintenance, and installation more convenient. Attached Figure Description
