Description

With the development of camera monitoring technology, more and more industry fields introduce image measurement technology, and through various transmission ways, human beings can observe and analyze special environments (such as toxic, high temperature, high pressure, radiation, low temperature, high wind speed and other extreme environments) which cannot be accessed originally and special scenes (such as the experimental state of an aircraft) which cannot be seen, and further realize the observation and analysis of the special environments.
Currently, the camera shooting monitoring technology is successfully applied to the technical field of aviation ground tests. Besides obtaining and determining the flight state of the spacecraft through remote and external measurement parameter data, the designer can also see the test state of the aircraft simulation part in real time, clearly and intuitively through a camera monitoring device arranged in the test device. The general camera device is suitable for working in normal temperature (-20 ℃ to 45 ℃) normal pressure environment, and the environment simulation test conditions of the ground aircraft are high wind speed and low temperature (-196 ℃ to 50 ℃), so that the phenomena of fog and frost formation and frost damage of a camera can occur on a lens of the general camera device, and the imaging effect of the camera device is directly influenced.
When the camera works in high-wind speed and low-temperature environments, firstly, the temperature of the camera is low, and secondly, the camera is easy to cool, and the high-wind speed enables the convection heat exchange coefficient between the camera and the outside to be large, so that the heat dissipation of the camera is increased, and therefore, the camera needs to be thermally protected. The water content of air or nitrogen in the environment cannot be very low, and because the extreme temperature of the environment is too low, a temperature difference exists between the camera device and the environment, and frost is formed when the temperature of a lens of the camera device is lower than the dew point of the environment. Therefore, an imaging device with a heat preservation and frost prevention function suitable for a high-wind-speed low-temperature environment is needed to solve the imaging monitoring problem in the high-wind-speed low-temperature environment.
In summary, the conventional method has many problems in practical use, so that improvement is necessary.

Namely, the camera module 20 is encapsulated in the device cavity 10 and performs camera shooting through a camera window 101 at the front end of the device cavity 10; in specific implementation, the temperature information of the temperature measuring point of the camera module 20 is collected by the temperature control module 30 in the working process and is uploaded to the processing terminal, if the processing terminal judges that the temperature information is too low, a control instruction is sent to the temperature control module to enable the temperature control module 30 to control the heating unit 202 to work, and when the heating unit 202 works, heat is generated to raise the environmental temperature of the camera module 20, so that the problem of failure of the camera module 20 caused by low temperature is avoided; meanwhile, the temperature rise can also prevent the imaging module 20 from frosting; meanwhile, the ventilation purge module can be used to exhaust low temperature air inside the device cavity 10 to prevent frosting.
The device cavity 10 is preferably of a cylindrical barrel structure, and each functional module is compactly and reasonably arranged in the device cavity 10, so that the volume of the camera device is reduced, and the camera device is convenient to install.

The device cavity 10 comprises a rear end cover 104 made of glass fiber reinforced plastic material, wherein the outer layer of the rear end cover 104 and the inner layer of the device cavity 10 are provided with a heat-proof layer 60; the heat-proof layer 60 has a characteristic of poor heat conduction performance and no cracking at low air pressure, so that the heat-proof layer can play a role in heat insulation and preservation. The ventilation and purging module is specifically mounted on the heat protection layer 60 on the outer layer of the rear end cover 104.
