Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of thermal imaging technology, and in particular to an image display thermal imager. Background Technology

[0002] As people's living standards improve, pets have become important members of many families. However, pets, especially small animals such as cats and dogs, are prone to getting lost when outdoors or in the home environment due to being startled, getting lost, or hiding. Traditional search methods are inefficient, time-consuming, labor-intensive, and ineffective, especially at night, in grassy areas, attics, warehouses, or other poorly lit or hidden environments.

[0003] Thermal imaging technology generates thermal distribution images by detecting infrared radiation emitted by objects, without relying on visible light, thus offering a unique advantage in searching for live animals. While some handheld thermal imagers are available for pet searching, traditional thermal imagers often have integrated or fixed displays and probes, making it difficult for users to adjust the viewing angle flexibly during searches. This can lead to fatigue, especially during prolonged holding, thus affecting search efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an image display thermal imager that can adjust the observation angle of the thermal imager, making it easier for users to flexibly adjust the observation angle during the search process and improving search efficiency.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, an image display thermal imager is provided, including a display and a thermal imaging probe. An angle adjustment mechanism is fixedly connected to the end of the display furthest from the display surface, and a clamping mechanism is fixedly connected to one end of the angle adjustment mechanism. The thermal imaging probe is fixedly connected to the clamping mechanism. The angle adjustment mechanism consists of a support rod, an adjusting rod, and a lead screw. The display is fixedly connected to the support rod. The adjusting rod is located at one end of the support rod, and one end of the adjusting rod extends into the support rod and is rotatably connected to the support rod via a rotating shaft. The lead screw is located in the support rod, and both ends of the lead screw are rotatably connected to the support rod. A rotating handle is provided at the end of the support rod furthest from the adjusting rod, and one end of the lead screw is connected to the middle of the rotating handle. The system features a fixed connection. A rack is embedded in the support rod, with one end of the rack facing the adjusting rod passing through and slidingly connected to the support rod. The rack extends into the adjusting rod from the end of the support rod. A lead screw passes through the rack and is threaded into it. A gear is fixedly connected to the adjusting rod, meshing with the rack. A sliding sleeve is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the support rod. A guide rod is welded to the end of the rack away from the gear, located on one side of the lead screw. One end of the guide rod passes through the middle of the sliding sleeve and is slidably connected to it. Rotating the handle rotates the lead screw, causing the rack to move along the sliding sleeve, driving the gear to rotate, and consequently causing the adjusting rod to rotate relative to the support rod. This allows for adjustment of the angle between the display and the thermal imaging probe. The system enables adjustment of the thermal imager's observation angle, allowing users to flexibly adjust the observation angle during the search process and improving search efficiency.

[0006] According to the aforementioned thermal imager, the display is a touch-sensitive LCD screen that supports image parameter adjustment, allowing users to adjust the brightness according to the environment.

[0007] According to the image display thermal imager, the thermal imaging probe integrates a rechargeable battery that powers both the display and the thermal imaging probe.

[0008] According to the aforementioned thermal imager for image display, a limiting structure is provided between the support rod and the adjusting rod to prevent excessive rotation.

[0009] According to the aforementioned thermal imager for image display, a grip sleeve is fitted over the outer side of the support rod, and the grip sleeve is located on the side of the display away from the clamping mechanism. This facilitates the user's grip on the thermal imager and improves the comfort of using the thermal imager.

[0010] According to the aforementioned thermal imager for image display, the clamping mechanism includes a clamping base and two symmetrically arranged grippers. The grippers are respectively located on both sides of the clamping base, with their opposite ends extending into the clamping base and slidably connected to it. A spring is provided between the two grippers and they are connected to each other via the spring. A baffle is provided on the clamping base, and a fixing sleeve is provided at the bottom of the clamping base, connected to an adjusting rod. The thermal imaging probe is clamped and fixed by the two grippers under the action of the spring. The grippers pre-clamp the thermal imaging probe under the action of the spring.

[0011] According to the aforementioned thermal imager for image display, a locking bolt is installed on the baffle, with one end of the locking bolt penetrating through the baffle. The end of the thermal imaging probe facing the baffle has a threaded hole that engages with the threaded locking bolt. The locking bolt secures the thermal imaging probe in a clamping mechanism.

[0012] According to the aforementioned thermal imager for image display, rubber blocks are fixedly connected to the opposing surfaces of the two grippers. The rubber blocks increase the friction of the grippers, thereby improving the fixation effect on the thermal imaging probe.

[0013] The above-mentioned solution has the following beneficial effects: By rotating the handle, the lead screw is rotated, causing the rack to move along the sliding sleeve, which in turn drives the gear to rotate, thereby causing the adjusting rod to rotate relative to the support rod. This allows for adjustment of the angle between the display and the thermal imaging probe, facilitating the thermal imager's ability to inspect corners.

[0014] Additional aspects and advantages of this invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. Attached Figure Description
