Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.

Fig. 1 is a sectional view showing an assembly structure of a video camera in one embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 2 is an exploded structural sectional view of the video camera shown in fig. 1. Referring to fig. 2 in conjunction with fig. 1, in an embodiment, a video camera may include a body assembly 1, a cover assembly 2, a movement assembly 3, and a fill-in light assembly 4.

The fuselage assembly 1 may have an open end face 10, for example, the fuselage assembly 1 may include a casing 10, the casing 10 including a rear end plate 11, and a cylindrical wall 12 surrounding a shell cavity on one side (front side) of the rear end plate 11, the front end opening of the cylindrical wall 12 forming an open end face 100 of the fuselage assembly 1.

The cover assembly 2 may cover the open end face 100 of the body assembly 1 to close the housing cavity of the enclosure 10 of the body assembly 1.

Both the movement assembly 3 and the light supplement assembly 4 may be located inside the body assembly 1, for example, in a housing cavity of the housing 10 of the body assembly 1, and the cover assembly 2 may provide an imaging field of view for the lens 30 of the movement assembly 3 and an illumination field of view for the light emitting element 40 of the light supplement assembly 4.

In addition, the camera in this embodiment may further include a power supply unit 5 for supplying power to the movement unit 3 and the fill-in unit 4 inside the body unit 1 (for example, in a housing cavity of the housing 10), and the camera may be further provided with a cable unit 6 for supplying power externally to the power supply unit 5, supplying control signals to the movement unit 3 and the fill-in unit 4, and transmitting an image output from the movement unit 3. Wherein the cable assembly 6 may be mounted to the fuselage assembly 1 (e.g., the rear end plate 11) by a threaded arrangement.

Based on the above structure, the light supplement unit 4 can be built in the body unit 1 together with the movement unit 3, and thus, it is possible to contribute to downsizing of the external size of the video camera.

At this time, in order to avoid the interference of the reflection of the fill-in light beam on the imaging quality, the embodiment provides an optimized solution for the structure of the cover assembly 2.

Fig. 3 is a sectional view showing an assembled structure of a cover assembly of the video camera shown in fig. 1. Fig. 4a and 4b are schematic end views of the cover assembly of the camera shown in fig. 1. Fig. 5 is an exploded view of the cap assembly shown in fig. 3. Fig. 6 is a sectional view of a partially assembled structure of the cap assembly shown in fig. 3. Fig. 4a is a front view of the cover assembly 2 facing the outside, and fig. 4b is a view of the cover assembly 2 facing the inside and the rear of the fuselage assembly 1.

Referring to fig. 3 in conjunction with fig. 4a and 4b, fig. 5 and fig. 6, in this embodiment, the cover assembly 2 may include an end cap 20, a first protective lens 21a, a second protective lens 21b, and a gland 23.

The end cap 20 may define a first external window 20a and a second external window 20b disposed around the first external window 20 a.

The first protective lens 21a may cover the first exterior window 20a, and the second protective lens 21b may cover the second exterior window 20 b.

The gland 23 limits the first protective lens 21a and the second protective lens 21b to the end cap 20 by pressing, and the gland 23 has a first inner window 23a aligned with the first outer window 20a and a second inner window 23b surrounding the first inner window 23a and aligned with the second outer window 20 b.

The end cap 20 further has a light blocking annular wall 200 continuously protruding between the first external viewing window 20a and the second external viewing window 20b, the light blocking annular wall 200 may extend from between the first protective lens 21a and the second protective lens 21b around the first external viewing window 20a, and the light blocking annular wall 200 protrudes in a direction away from the first protective lens 21a and the second protective lens 21 b.

That is, the first protective lens 21a may be fixedly attached to the end cap 20 at the inner circumferential side of the light blocking annular wall 200, the second protective lens 21b may be fixedly attached to the end cap 20 at the outer circumferential side of the light blocking annular wall 200, and the height of the protrusion of the light blocking annular wall 200 may be greater than the thicknesses of the first protective lens 21a and the second protective lens 21 b.

Also, the pressing cover 23 may further have an annular cap groove 230 continuously extending around the first internal viewing window 23a between the first internal viewing window 23a and the second internal viewing window 23b, the annular cap groove 230 being arched in a direction away from the first protective lens 21a and the second protective lens 21 b.

Light blocking annular wall 200 of end cap 20 may mate with annular cap groove 230 of gland 23. That is, the portion of the light blocking annular wall 200 that exceeds the thickness of the first protective lens 21a and the second protective lens 21b may also be fitted in the annular cap groove 230 of the pressing cover 23 to form a light blocking flange, so that a light blocking barrier may be formed over the entire thickness space of the first protective lens 21a and the second protective lens 21b and the mirror surface side of the first protective lens 21a and the second protective lens 21b that faces the inside of the body component 1.

Fig. 7 is a schematic diagram of the arrangement positions of the cover assembly, the movement assembly and the light supplement assembly shown in fig. 3. Fig. 8 is a partially enlarged view of fig. 7. Please refer to fig. 7 and 8:

the movement assembly 3 is positioned inside the body assembly 1, and the lens 30 of the movement assembly 3 can be positioned at the first inner window 23 a;

the light supplement component 4 is also located inside the body component 1, and the light emitting element 40 of the light supplement component 4 is located at the second inner window 23 b;

at this time, the light blocking annular wall 200 is inserted into and matched with the annular cap groove 230, so that a predetermined axial dimension L0 can be maintained between the arched crown of the annular cap groove 230 and the inner mirror surface (the side facing away from the end cover 20) of the second protective lens 21b, and the axial dimension L0 may be greater than a first axial interval L2 between the light emitting lamp surface (the light emitting surface of the light source 40) of the light supplement module 4 installed in the same cavity as the movement module 3 and the inner mirror surface of the second protective lens 21 b.

Based on the above embodiment, the lens 30 of the movement assembly 3 may be located at the first inner viewing window 23a, and the light emitting element 40 of the light supplement assembly 4 may be located at the second inner viewing window 23b, so that the cover assembly 2 may provide an imaging field of view for the lens 30 of the movement assembly 3 by using the first protective lens 21a exposed in the first outer viewing window 20a and the first inner viewing window 23a in a two-way manner, and may also provide an illumination field of view for the light emitting element 40 of the light supplement assembly 4 by using the second protective lens 21b exposed in the second outer viewing window 20b and the second inner viewing window 23a in a two-way manner, thereby supporting the arrangement of the light supplement assembly 4 and the movement assembly 3 in the same cavity of the body assembly 1, and contributing to the miniaturization of the external size of the camera.

Moreover, the light blocking annular wall 200 is provided between the first protective lens 21a and the second protective lens 21b, and the light blocking annular wall 200 can cooperate with the annular cap groove 230 of the pressing cover 23 to form a light blocking barrier, because the axial dimension L0 of the light blocking barrier is greater than the first axial interval L2 between the light emitting lamp surface of the light supplement component 4 installed in the same cavity as the movement component 3 and the inner lens surface of the second protective lens 21b, the light beam generated by the light emitting element 40 of the light supplement component 4 can be prevented from being reflected by the second protective lens 21b to the imaging field of view provided by the first protective lens 21a for the lens 30 of the movement component 3, and thus, the external dimension of the camera can be reduced while the reflection interference of the light supplement beam to the imaging quality can be avoided.

Preferably, the light emitting lamp surface of the light supplement module 4 may be closer to the end cap 20 than the end surface of the lens 30 of the movement module 3 in the axial direction, and at this time, the first axial interval L2 between the end surface of the lens 30 of the movement module 3 relative to the inner surface of the second protective lens 21b may be greater than the first axial interval L1. At this time, the axial dimension L0 between the domed crown of the annular cap groove 230 and the inner mirror surface of the second protective lens 21b may be further greater than the second axial spacing L2. Thus, it is possible to provide a full-range protection to the imaging field of view provided by the first protective lens 21a for the lens 30 of the deck assembly 3.

Even, the axial dimension L0 between the arched crown of the annular cap groove 230 and the inner mirror surface of the second protective lens 21b may be larger than the third axial interval L3 between the back surface of the light supplement assembly 40 facing away from the end cap 20 and the inner mirror surface of the second protective lens 21b, that is, the light supplement assembly 4 entirely falls within the shielding range of the light blocking barrier formed by the light blocking annular wall 200 and the annular cap groove 230 in the axial direction. Accordingly, the shielding reliability of the reflected light can be further enhanced.

In addition, the pressure limit of the pressure cover 23 to the first protective lens 21a and the second protective lens 21b can improve the assembling strength of the cover assembly 2, and is helpful for providing the cover assembly 2 with an explosion-proof characteristic. Moreover, the gland 23 and the end cover 20 adopt the insertion fit of the annular cap groove 230 and the light blocking annular wall 200, and the following beneficial effects can be produced:

the insertion fit of the annular cap groove 230 and the light blocking annular wall 200 can also prevent the protruding portion of the light blocking annular wall 200 beyond the thickness range of the first protective lens 20a and the second protective lens 20b from interfering with the gland 23, so as to ensure that the gland 23 can crimp and limit the first protective lens 21a and the second protective lens 21b to the end cap 20;

the insertion fit of the annular cap groove 230 and the light blocking annular wall 200 can also be used for realizing the assembly positioning between the gland 23 and the end cover 20 so as to ensure the alignment of the first inner window 23a and the first outer window 20a and the alignment of the second inner window 23b and the second outer window 20 b; and

annular cap groove 230 may also act as a stiffener for gland 23.

In order to better understand the above effects, the structure of the cap assembly 2 will be described in further detail below.

Fig. 9 is a sectional view of an end cap of the cap assembly shown in fig. 3. Fig. 10 is a schematic end view of the end cap of the cap assembly shown in fig. 3. Therein, fig. 10 is a schematic view of the inner rear face of the end cap 20 facing the interior of the fuselage assembly 1.

Referring first to fig. 9, and referring back to fig. 3, 4b, 5 and 6, in this embodiment, the end cap 20 may have a front end plate 201 and a peripheral wall 202 surrounding the front end plate 201 on one side (e.g., the back side) to form a cap cavity.

Referring back to fig. 10, and referring back to fig. 4a and 4b, the first external viewing window 20a and the second external viewing window 20b may be opened in the front plate 201. The first external viewing window 20a may be configured to provide a perspective area for a lens view of the engine assembly 3, and therefore, the first external viewing window 20a may be configured to have a circular shape matching the lens view of the engine assembly 3. Accordingly, as shown in fig. 5, the first protective lens 21a may be circular.

The first external viewing window 20a may be disposed in a central region of the end surface of the end cap 20, that is, the first external viewing window 20a may be disposed in a central region of the front end plate 201. The second external window 20b may be used for illumination transmission of the light supplement component 4, and therefore, the shape of the second external window 20b may be arbitrarily set according to the arrangement of the light emitting elements 40 of the light supplement component 4.

As can be seen in fig. 10, the second external viewing window 20b may be arranged around the first external viewing window 20a within an angular range of 360 °. The second external window 20b is arranged to surround the first external window 20a within an angle range of 360 degrees, and the discretization layout of the light-emitting element 40 of the light supplement component 4 can be supported, so that the miniaturization design and the light supplement intensity homogenization layout of the light supplement component 4 are facilitated, and the reduction of the volume and the light supplement effect of the camera are facilitated.

The second external viewing windows 20b may be one or at least two (only four are illustrated in fig. 10). Regardless of the number of the second windows 20b, the second protective lens 20b may be a single integral lens, for example, the second protective lens 21b may be ring-shaped.

When the number of the second external viewing windows 20b is at least two, the at least two second external viewing windows 20b may be spaced around the first external viewing window 20a (on the outer circumferential side of the light blocking wall 200). For example, when the first external viewing window 20a is provided in a circular shape, at least two second external viewing windows 20b may be provided in at least two fan shapes arranged in segments.

At least two second external viewing windows 20b may be spaced apart in a direction surrounding the first external viewing window 20a (e.g., a space w1 formed between adjacent second external viewing windows 20b), and a reinforcing rib may be formed between adjacent second external viewing windows 20b to compensate for strength deterioration of the end cap 20 due to the window being hollowed out.

The at least two second external windows 20b may be sized to be identical to each other. The at least two second external viewing windows 20b may be arranged in an equiangular distribution, i.e. the angular span of each second external viewing window 20b in the surround direction is equal, and the angular spacing between each two second external viewing windows 20b is also equal.

For example, the first external viewing windows 20a may be configured as a circle having a radius R1 of 27mm ± 2mm, the at least two second external viewing windows 20b may each have a sector shape having an inner arc radius R2 of 52mm ± 2mm and an outer arc radius R3 of 74mm ± 2mm, and a spacing w1 between adjacent second external viewing windows 20b in the sector shape may be greater than or equal to 12 mm.

As can also be seen from fig. 10, the light blocking annular wall 200 may continuously extend between the first external viewing window 20a and the second external viewing window 20b, i.e., the light blocking annular wall 200 may be a reinforcing rib continuously extending in a ring shape between the first external viewing window 20a and the second external viewing window 20 b. Also, the light blocking ring wall 200 may partition a cover cavity, which is formed by surrounding the peripheral wall 202 at the rear end surface of the front end plate 201, into a center sub-cavity (the inner peripheral side of the light blocking ring wall 200) and an edge sub-cavity (the outer peripheral side of the light blocking ring wall 200) surrounding the center sub-cavity.

Accordingly, both the first protective lens 21a and the second protective lens 21b can be accommodated in the cover cavity, i.e., the first protective lens 21a can be accommodated in the central sub-cavity of the inner side of the light blocking annular wall 200, and the second protective lens 21b can be accommodated in the outer side sub-cavity of the light blocking annular wall 200.

Referring to fig. 9, and focusing on fig. 6 in particular, the thickness t1 of the first protective lens 21a and the thickness t2 of the second protective lens 21b may be the same, or the thickness t1 of the first protective lens 21a and the thickness t2 of the second protective lens 21b may be different. Moreover, the thickness t1 of the first protective lens 21a and the thickness t2 of the second protective lens 21b may be smaller than the protrusion length h0 of the light blocking ring wall 200, so as to allow the light blocking ring wall 200 to extend from between the first protective lens 21a and the second protective lens 21b to the pressing cover 23, so that the light blocking ring wall 200 and the pressing cover 23 can cooperate to form a light blocking flange between the first internal window 23a and the second internal window 23 b.

If the thickness t1 of the first shield lens 21a and the thickness t2 of the second shield lens 21b are both smaller than the axial length h1 of the peripheral wall 202, the gland 23 can be located in the gland cavity. Moreover, the axial length of the peripheral wall 202 may be set to be large enough to allow the cover cavity to further accommodate the fill light assembly 4 in addition to the first protective lens 21a, the second protective lens 21b and the pressing cover 23.

In the case where the camera has an explosion-proof requirement, the end cap 20 may be made of a rigid metal material such as stainless steel, the first protective lens 21a and the second protective lens 21b may be made of an explosion-proof transparent material such as tempered glass, and the pressing cover 23 may be made of a rigid metal material such as stainless steel.

At this time, the thickness t1 of the first protective lens 21a and the thickness t2 of the second protective lens 21b may be set to satisfy a preset explosion-proof level. The explosion-proof grade can be calibrated by the test results of reference pressure test, overpressure test, internal ignition without explosion propagation and the like.

Further, the plate thickness of the contact area between the front plate 201 and the first protective lens 21a and the second protective lens 21b also needs to satisfy a predetermined dimension. For example, the plate thickness t3 of the contact area between the front plate 201 and the first shield lens 21a and the plate thickness t4 of the contact area between the front plate and the second shield lens 21b may be set to 7.5mm or more. The thickness t0 of the light blocking annular wall 200 may be set to be equal to or greater than 3.5 mm.

And the plate thickness t5 of the gland 23 may be smaller than the plate thickness t3 of the contact area of the front end plate 201 and the first shield lens 21a and the plate thickness t4 of the contact area of the front end plate 201 and the second shield lens 21 b. Also, the plate thickness t5 of the gland 23 may be set to be larger than 2 mm.

In addition, the first protective lens 21a and the second protective lens 21b may be adhered to the end cap 20. For example, the first protective lens 21a and the second protective lens 21b may be adhesively attached to the end cap 20 by glue (e.g., epoxy AB glue) applied to the front plate 201 and/or the light blocking ring wall 200 of the end cap 20.

Referring to fig. 9 in conjunction with fig. 10, when the first protective lens 21a and the second protective lens 21b are bonded to the front plate 201, the front plate 201 may have a first dispensing groove 204a disposed around the outer circumferential side of the first external viewing window 20a, a second dispensing groove 204b disposed around between the light blocking ring wall 200 and the second external viewing window 20b, and a third dispensing groove 204c disposed around the outer circumferential side of the second external viewing window 20 b.

Here, the first dispensing groove 204a may be disposed in a contact area (an area having a plate thickness t 3) of the front end plate 201 and the first protective lens 21a, and similarly, the second dispensing groove 204b and the third dispensing groove 204c may be disposed in a contact area (an area having a plate thickness t 4) of the front end plate 201 and the second protective lens 21b, and may be respectively located on one side (an inner circumferential side) of the second external window 20b close to the light blocking ring wall 200 and the other side (an outer circumferential side) away from the light blocking ring wall 200.

Thus, the first protective lens 21a can be bonded to the front plate 201 by the glue filled in the first glue dispensing groove 204 a; the second protective lens 20b can be bonded to the end plate 201 by the glue filled in the second glue dispensing groove 204b and the third glue dispensing groove 204 c.

If the first protective lens 21a and the second protective lens 21b are adhesively attached to the end cap 20, the adhesive may overflow from the first dispensing groove 204a due to being pressed by the first protective lens 21a, and/or the adhesive may overflow from the second dispensing groove 204b and/or the third dispensing groove 204c due to being pressed by the second protective lens 21 b.

The adhesive force is easily lost due to the overflow of the adhesive, and if the overflow adhesive flows into the window range of the first external window 20a and/or the second external window 20b, the mirror surface contamination of the first protective lens 21a and/or the second protective lens 21b may be caused.
