Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of small intelligent aircraft technology, specifically a pod camera module device. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, pod module connection technology has been widely used in the connection of pods for intelligent small aircraft. The pod module is connected at the interface of the pipeline, serving the purpose of connection and fastening.
[0003] Existing pod modules include two semi-circular camera shapes, bolts, and nuts. The slots of the two clamping rings are joined together to form a circular module channel. Lugs are formed at both ends of the module body, with pre-drilled holes for tightening nuts to secure the connection after the module is passed through. This type of pod module has a split structure, numerous parts, and is prone to loss. Furthermore, the two clamping rings are difficult to align during installation, increasing the difficulty of installation and limiting the flexibility of extension and retraction.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution, the interior of the housing is provided with a short-focal-length visible light source, and the interior of the housing is provided with a laser rangefinder.
[0012] As a preferred technical solution, the interior of the housing is equipped with a long-focal-length visible light source, and the interior of the housing is equipped with an infrared thermal imager.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: This invention, through the connection and rotation mechanism, can achieve the functions of vibration reduction and adjustment of the camera component to a suitable position. During use, the rubber ball dampens the camera component, effectively isolating vibrations caused by the drone engine and airflow, providing a stable working environment for the internal precision optical components, and ensuring image quality. The azimuth, roll, and pitch axes allow for multi-directional adjustment of the camera component's angle, effectively compensating for changes in the aircraft's attitude, ensuring that the onboard camera remains stable during flight, and capturing clear, shaky images. Furthermore, the entire device is encapsulated in a streamlined, compact, integrated shell, eliminating the need for splicing and aligning multiple parts and avoiding the risk of losing components.
[0014] This utility model, through the setup of the camera component, can achieve the function of capturing images. During use, it captures images using a short-focal-length visible light sensor, a laser rangefinder, a long-focal-length visible light sensor, and an infrared thermal imager. This allows the sling camera module to simultaneously achieve wide-angle reconnaissance, zoom detailed inspection, thermal imaging detection at night or in adverse weather conditions, and target ranging functions. It is powerful and has high collaborative working efficiency. Furthermore, the short-focal-length visible light sensor, long-focal-length visible light sensor, thermal imager, and laser rangefinder are precisely integrated into the housing in a modular manner, resulting in a compact structure and improved overall rigidity and stability.

[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0018] Example: Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the present invention provides the following technical solution, including a base 1, a vibration damping rotation mechanism 2 at the bottom of the base 1, and a camera assembly 3 on the inner side of the pitch axis system 208.
[0019] Specifically: When the hoisting camera module is needed, the vibration damping rotation mechanism 2 is used to dampen the hoisting camera module, and the angle of the camera component 3 is adjusted in multiple directions to effectively compensate for the attitude changes of the aircraft, ensuring that the mounted camera remains stable during flight and captures clear, shaky images. Then, the camera component 3 is used to capture the images, thus completing the task.
[0020] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a vibration damping rotation mechanism 2 is provided at the bottom of the base 1. The vibration damping rotation mechanism 2 includes a connecting rod 201. The bottom of the base 1 is provided with the connecting rod 201. A support frame 202 is provided at the bottom of the connecting rod 201. A rubber ball 203 is provided inside the support frame 202. A support block 204 is provided on the inner side of the support frame 202. An image tracker 205 is provided on one side of the support block 204. An azimuth axis system 206 is provided at the bottom of the support block 204. A roll axis system 207 is provided at the bottom of the azimuth axis system 206. A pitch axis system 208 is provided on one side of the roll axis system 207. An SD memory card 209 is provided on one side of the support block 204. An electrical interface 210 is provided at one end of the support block 204. There are four connecting rods 201 and four rubber balls 203.
[0021] Specifically: When the gantry camera module is needed, the camera assembly 3 is first damped by the rubber ball 203. The flexibility of the rubber ball 203 offsets part of the vibration force. The image tracker 205 automatically identifies and tracks the target. The electrical interface 210 enables fast and reliable electrical and signal connection, facilitating disassembly and maintenance. The azimuth axis 206, roll axis 207, and pitch axis 208 are used to adjust the angle of the camera assembly 3, effectively compensating for the attitude changes of the aircraft and ensuring that the onboard camera remains stable during flight, capturing clear and shaky images, thus completing the vibration damping rotation work.
[0022] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a camera assembly 3 is disposed inside the pitch axis system 208. The camera assembly 3 includes a housing 305. The housing 305 is disposed inside the pitch axis system 208. A short-focal-length visible light 301 is disposed inside the housing 305. A laser rangefinder 302 is disposed inside the housing 305. A long-focal-length visible light 303 is disposed inside the housing 305. An infrared thermal imager 304 is disposed inside the housing 305.
[0023] Specifically, when it is necessary to capture images through camera component 3, camera component 3 integrates four different sensors: short-focus visible light 301, infrared thermal imager 304, long-focus visible light 303, and laser rangefinder 302. This enables the dangling camera module device to simultaneously perform wide-angle reconnaissance, zoom detailed inspection, thermal imaging detection at night or in adverse weather conditions, and target ranging functions, thereby completing the task.
[0024] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When the hoisting camera module is needed, the camera assembly 3 is first damped by the rubber ball 203. The flexibility of the rubber ball 203 itself offsets part of the vibration force. The image tracker 205 automatically identifies and tracks the target. The electrical interface 210 realizes fast and reliable electrical and signal connection, which is convenient for disassembly and maintenance. The angle of the camera assembly 3 is adjusted by the azimuth axis 206, the roll axis 207 and the pitch axis 208 to effectively compensate for the attitude changes of the aircraft and ensure that the onboard camera remains stable during flight, and the captured image is clear and shake-free, thus completing the vibration damping rotation work. Then, the camera assembly 3 captures the image. The camera assembly 3 integrates four different sensors: short-focal-length visible light 301, infrared thermal imager 304, long-focal-length visible light 303 and laser rangefinder 302. This enables the hoisting camera module to simultaneously realize wide-angle reconnaissance, zoom detailed inspection, thermal imaging detection at night or in bad weather, and target ranging functions, thus completing the work.

Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description.
