Description

Camera module for ships and ships with such modules installed

[0001] The present invention relates to a camera module, and more specifically, to a camera module installed on a ship.

[0002] In order to implement the function of SVM (Surround View Monitoring), it is essential to install multiple fisheye cameras around the outside of the boat, and since boat owners do not prefer cameras to protrude excessively outside the boat for aesthetic reasons, cameras with unobtrusive characteristics are required for installing cameras on small vessels owned by individuals such as boats or yachts.

[0003] Additionally, cameras installed on boats must not be damaged by ropes, fenders, or other external impacts installed on the outside of the boat.

[0004] Ultimately, cameras installed on boats must be able to be installed in places that are both inconspicuous and not easily damaged by external impacts. However, existing camera modules for ships have limitations in that they cannot achieve these two characteristics to a high level.

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a camera module for a ship.

[0006] According to one embodiment of the present invention for solving the above technical problem, a device may be a camera module for a ship, comprising: a camera; a main body for accommodating the camera; an outer cover having a through hole formed in the center so that a lens of the camera protrudes outward and having a recessed structure formed inward to facilitate drainage of water flowing into the through hole; and the main body and the outer cover are combined to surround the camera.

[0007] According to another embodiment of the present invention for solving the above technical problem, a ship comprises: a ship camera module; a power supply source for supplying power to the ship camera module; and a camera module insertion space formed adjacent to a bow portion of a hull so that the ship camera module is inserted and installed; wherein the ship camera module comprises: a camera; a main body for accommodating the camera; an outer cover having a through hole formed in the center so that a lens of the camera protrudes outward and a recessed structure formed in the inward direction to promote drainage of water flowing into the through hole; and the main body and the outer cover are coupled to surround the camera, the module being a ship.

[0008] According to the present invention, a camera having a structure that does not protrude excessively and is less likely to be damaged by external impact can be provided.

[0009] In addition, according to the present invention, the camera can be configured to be angle-adjusted vertically from the position where it is installed, so that all desired information can be included in the camera's field of view.

[0010] In addition, according to the present invention, a drain hole is provided in the camera module so that even if water temporarily enters the inside of the camera module, damage to the camera can be prevented through rapid drainage.

[0011] In addition, according to the present invention, since a sunken structure is formed at the bottom of the outer cover of the camera, even if water temporarily enters the inside of the camera module, the water does not accumulate and is quickly discharged through the drain, thereby preventing the camera from becoming difficult to operate or the camera's performance from being temporarily or permanently deteriorated due to water accumulation.

For example, two processes described in succession may be performed substantially simultaneously, or in a reverse order from the described order.

[0041] FIG. 1 is a drawing for explaining the location where a camera module for a ship according to the present invention is installed on a ship.

[0042] The ship camera module (100) according to the present invention basically includes a camera with a Surround View Monitoring (SVM) function. The ship camera module (100) is installed in a camera module insertion space provided on the ship and can receive a predetermined amount of power from a power source and perform operations. Referring to Fig. 1, the ship camera module (100) can be installed in the form of a fish-eye camera as shown in the first screen, the second screen, and the third screen, respectively.

[0043] FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 are drawings illustrating front and rear views of a camera module for a ship according to the present invention.

[0044] More specifically, FIGS. 2 and 3 are schematic drawings showing the front view and the back view of the ship camera module (100) according to the present invention described in FIG. 1.

[0045] FIG. 2 illustrates a front view of a ship camera module (100) according to the present invention. In FIG. 2, the camera (20a) can capture an object located in the direction of the camera and generate an image thereof when the ship is anchored or sailing. Although not shown in FIG. 2, the lens of the camera (20a) may be covered with a transparent waterproof material that prevents water from entering the interior of the camera while not impeding the imaging function of the camera (20a). The ramp (21a) in FIG. 2 is formed in a form that provides a free space to support the up-and-down movement of the camera (20a), which will be described later. In FIG. 2, the external cover fastening member (22a) can firmly connect the external cover for protecting the camera (20a) from external impact or moisture to the main body (23b) of the ship camera module, and may be a bolt made of a corrosion-resistant material.

[0046] Fig. 3 illustrates a rear view of a ship camera module (100) according to the present invention. In Fig. 3, a power supply terminal (20b) is electrically connected to a camera (20a) to supply power to the camera (20a). In Fig. 3, a body fastening member (22b) refers to a fastening member fastened in the rear direction of the ship camera module (100) so that the outer cover and the body (23b) are firmly coupled to each other. In Fig. 3, the body (23b) includes a surface coupled to the outer cover and a space for accommodating a camera. The shape of the body (23b) and various components included in the body (23b) will be described later with reference to Fig. 9.

[0047] FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 are drawings illustrating examples of a camera module for a ship according to the present invention observed from a lower direction and an upper direction.

[0048] More specifically, FIG. 4 shows the results of observing the ship camera module (100) from the front as in FIG. 2, by significantly lowering the observer's line of sight, and then focusing on the lower direction of the ship camera module (100), and FIG. 5 shows the results of observing the ship camera module (100) from the front as in FIG. 3, by significantly raising the observer's line of sight, and then focusing on the upper direction of the ship camera module (100).

[0049] In FIGS. 4 and 5, the drain hole (24a) is a hole for quickly discharging water that has entered the interior of the ship camera module (100) after the ship camera module (100) has been installed on the ship. As illustrated in FIGS. 4 and 5, the ship camera module (100) according to the present invention includes at least one drain hole (24a).

[0050] In FIGS. 4 and 5, the sunken structure (25a) of the outer cover refers to a structural feature of a portion of the outer cover, which is a structure for promoting drainage of water flowing into the through hole of the outer cover. The sunken direction of the sunken structure of the outer cover may be inward of the outer cover. The sunken structure (25a) of the outer cover will be described later with reference to FIG. 6.

[0051] Figure 6 is a schematic drawing showing a side view of a camera module for a ship according to the present invention.

[0052] More specifically, FIG. 6 illustrates a left side view of a ship camera module (100). Since the ship camera module (100) has a symmetrical structure, the description of the right side view of the ship camera module (100) can be applied identically to the description of the left side view of the ship camera module (100). Referring to FIG. 6, the ship camera module (100) according to the present invention can be divided into an outer cover portion (40A), a main body portion (40B), and a power supply portion (40C).

[0053] The outer cover part (40A) constitutes the surface of the ship camera module (100) that can be observed by the user when the ship camera module (100) is installed on the ship. The outer cover part (40A) includes a camera that captures images, an outer cover for protecting the camera from external impact, and a recessed structure (25a) of the outer cover for quickly discharging water that has entered the interior of the ship camera module (100) to the drain port (24a) of FIG. 4. In particular, the recessed structure (25a) of the outer cover is a structure formed at the lower portion of the outer cover, and has a structural feature that is concave rather than convex like the upper portion of the outer cover, so that water that has entered the interior of the ship camera module (100) does not stagnate for a long time inside the outer cover, but has a geometric structure that allows it to be quickly discharged to the drain port (24a) of FIG. 4.

[0054] The main body (40B) includes various modules for supporting the operation of the camera included in the external cover (40A) and a main body that encloses the various modules in a single housing. The main body (40B) may include a main body that surrounds the camera by being combined with the external cover, a bracket that is connected to the end of the camera in the external cover (40A) to support the camera's up-and-down operation, a portion of a power supply cable for supplying power to the camera, etc.

[0055] The power supply unit (40C) may include a power supply terminal for supplying power to the camera by being connected to the external cover unit (40A) and the main body unit (40B) and a fixing member for fixing the power supply terminal to the main body unit (40B).

[0056] Figures 7 and 8 are diagrams schematically showing the results of observing the ship camera module according to the present invention from various angles.

[0057] Comparing Fig. 7 with Figs. 2 to 6, it can be seen that the ship camera module (100) according to the present invention includes a sunken structure (25a) of the outer cover and a drain hole (24a) formed in a downward direction in connection with the sunken structure (25a) of the outer cover. In particular, the sunken structure (25a) of the outer cover not only increases the discharge speed of the inflowing water as described above, but also has the function of not obstructing the shooting field of view when the camera of the outer cover part (40A) rotates downward to start shooting. The rotation limit angle of the camera of the outer cover part (40A) can be 0 degrees to -30 degrees. That is, since the camera does not rotate beyond 0 degrees, the upper part of the outer cover is not formed in a sunken structure, unlike the lower part of the outer cover.

[0058] FIG. 8 illustrates the results of observing the ship camera module (100) from a different direction than FIG. 7. Referring to FIG. 8, it can be seen that a drain hole (24a) is formed on the upper portion of the outer cover of the ship camera module (100). Since the ship camera module (100) according to the present invention has drain holes (24a) formed on the upper and lower portions, even if the ship camera module (100) is installed upside down on a ship according to the user's preference, water flowing in toward the inner side of the outer cover can be smoothly drained through the drain hole (24a).

[0059] Figure 9 is a drawing showing an example of the result of disassembling a ship camera module.

[0060] Referring to FIG. 9, it can be seen that the ship camera module (100) according to the present invention is operable by sequentially assembling an outer cover fastening member (22a), an outer cover (2), a body fastening member (22b), a lens (4), a camera (6), a camera member (11), a power supply unit (14), a power supply cable (14-2), a bracket (15), a body (17), and a body fixing member (19). Hereinafter, the power supply terminal is regarded as an integrated element combining the power supply unit (14) and the power supply cable (14-2).

[0061] The outer cover fastening member (22a) is a member that firmly connects the outer cover (2) to the main body (17), and may be the same member as the outer cover fastening member (22a) of FIG. 2. In addition, the main body fastening member (22b) is a member that firmly connects the main body (17) and the outer cover (2), and may be the same member as the main body fastening member (22b) of FIG. 3. In FIG. 9, two outer cover fastening members (22a) are illustrated, but depending on the embodiment, the number of outer cover fastening members (22a) may be more than two or less than two. In FIG. 9, two main body fastening members (22b) are illustrated, but depending on the embodiment, the number of main body fastening members (22b) may be more than two or less than two.

[0062] The outer cover (2) has a through hole formed in the center so that the lens (4) of the camera (6) protrudes outward, and a sunken structure (25a) formed inward to promote drainage of water flowing into the through hole.

[0063] The camera (6) and lens (4) can process the results of the shooting after the ship camera module (100) is installed on the ship into an image, and the camera member (11) can support the smooth movement of the camera (6) to which the lens (4) is coupled. For example, the camera member (11) allows the camera (6) to be properly stored in the bracket (15), so that the camera (6) can also rotate in the up-and-down direction according to the up-and-down movement of the bracket (15).

[0064] The power supply unit (14) is electrically connected to the camera (6) to supply power to the camera (6), and the power supply cable (14-2) is a cable for receiving power from a power supply source such as a ship's generator.

[0065] The bracket (15) can perform the function of storing the camera (6) and accommodating it in the main body (17).

[0066] The main body (17) is coupled with the outer cover (2) to surround the camera (6) and accommodate the camera (6) and various modules related to the camera (6). At least one fastening hole is formed on the front surface of the main body (17) to which an outer cover fastening member (22a) is fastened when coupled with the aforementioned outer cover (2). In addition, at least one fastening hole is formed on the back surface of the main body (17) to which the aforementioned main body fastening member (22b) is fastened.

[0067] The main body fixing member (19) is positioned at the rear of the main body (17) to prevent excessive movement of the main body (17) and to enable the ship camera module (100) to be smoothly inserted and installed in the ship's camera module insertion space.

[0068] Figure 10 is a drawing for explaining the bonding characteristics of the bracket and body of a ship camera module.

[0069] In the present invention, the bracket (15) is a member for housing the camera (6) and accommodating it in the main body (17), and includes an angle adjusting portion (15-1) that allows the camera (6) to rotate up and down in the through hole of the outer cover (2). As illustrated in FIG. 10, the number of angle adjusting portions (15-1) of the bracket (15) may be two in total, one in each direction of the bracket (15). The external characteristic of the bracket (15) is to form a structure in which the bracket (15) is precisely engaged with the main body (17) in the positive direction, and depending on the embodiment, the angle adjusting portions (15-1) on each direction of the bracket (15) may have different lengths. The ends of the angle adjusting portions (15-1) are formed in a fan shape with a preset central angle, so that the viewing angle of the camera (6) can be appropriately limited. For example, as the central angle of the fan shape at the end of the angle adjustment unit (15-1) increases, the vertical movement range of the camera (6) increases, and as the central angle of the fan shape at the end of the angle adjustment unit (15-1) decreases, the vertical movement range of the camera (6) may decrease.

[0070] Figure 11 is a drawing for explaining a fastening member formed in a bracket of a ship camera module.

[0071] In Fig. 11, a fastening member hole (15-2) is formed in the bracket (15). The fastening member hole (15-2) refers to a hole for fastening a bracket fastening member (15-3) to firmly fix the passed power supply unit (14) to the bracket (15) when the power supply unit (14) passes outward through the through hole of the bracket (15) as shown in Fig. 10. The power supply unit (14) is electrically connected to the camera (6) while being fixed to the bracket (15) by the bracket fastening member (15-3), thereby stably supplying power to the camera (6).
