Description

  The present invention relates to a camera housing for a remote control pan head that houses a camera device or the like, and more particularly to a camera housing for a remote control pan head having a mechanism for pulling out the camera device from the housing casing.

  In a conventional camera housing for a remote control pan head, when adjusting a lens device or a camera device or connecting a cable to the camera device, as shown in FIG. 8, the camera table is pulled out from the housing housing. .

  For example, in Patent Document 1, a camera device mounting base that has an opening on one side surface of a housing housing and to which the camera device is fixed can be slid out of the opening of the housing housing. The camera device mounting base is supported by a slide rail in the housing housing, and after the camera device mounting base is pulled out of the housing housing by a predetermined length, the camera device mounting base can be rotated 90 degrees to expose the camera device mounting portion to the outside. A camera housing mechanism is disclosed.

JP-A-8-316649

  However, in the prior art disclosed in Patent Document 1, an extra length is required for the cable, which causes the cable to be caught when the camera base is inserted into and removed from the housing housing. For example, as shown in the conceptual diagram of FIG. 8, when the camera base 103 is pulled out of the housing housing 100, the connector 106 of the camera device has a distance 110 for pulling the camera device out of the housing housing 100. Since it moves, the cable 105 fixed with respect to the camera apparatus and the housing casing 100 needs to have a length corresponding to the distance 110 and a half of that length as an extra length (the example of FIG. 8 is an example). , When the length corresponding to the distance 110 is an extra length). Further, in Patent Document 1, since the camera base has a slide mechanism and a rotation mechanism, the number of constituent members increases, and it is difficult to provide at low cost.

  SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a camera housing for a remote control pan head that has a simple structure and can be adjusted with a surplus length of a short cable and has a simple structure.

  In order to achieve the above object, a camera housing for a remote control pan head according to the present invention is a camera housing for a remote control pan head that houses a photographing device having a lens device and a camera device, and has an opening for taking in and out the photographing device. A housing housing having a portion, and a camera base that engages with the housing housing so as to be rotatable about a rotation axis, and to which the imaging device is fixed. It is characterized in that the housing casing is installed on the opening side from the middle between the surface facing the opening and the opening.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the camera housing for remote control pan heads which can adjust a camera apparatus with the extra length of a short cable, and is simple structure and cheap can be provided. In other words, the camera housing for the remote control pan head of the present invention has one rotating mechanism in the camera base, so that the camera base can be pulled out of the housing and adjusted by the extra length of the short cable. Therefore, workability can be improved without pinching the cable during adjustment of the camera device. Further, since the number of constituent members can be reduced, it can be provided at a low cost.

  Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  Hereinafter, a camera housing for a remote control pan head according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

  The housing case 10 has a box shape, and one side surface is connected to the head body 3 of the camera platform device, and has an opening 12 on one opposite side surface. The opening 12 is for taking in and out the photographing apparatus having the lens device 1 and the camera device 2. A door 11 that can be opened and closed with respect to the opening 12 (opening and closing the opening 12) is connected (engaged) to the housing case 10 by a hinge or the like (not shown). The housing case 10 accommodates an imaging device. Further, inside the housing case 10, a control board 5 of the camera device 2 and a camera base 13 for fixing the photographing device are provided. The camera base 13 is pivoted with respect to the housing casing 10 by a pivot shaft 14 which is disposed on the opening 12 side from the middle 4 between the opening 12 and the surface of the housing casing 10 facing the opening 12. The shaft 14 is installed so as to be pivotable about the shaft 14. The camera device 2 constituting the photographing device is fixed to the camera base 13 with a fastening member such as a screw. When a pulling force is applied to the camera base 13 in the direction of the opening, the camera base 13 rotates about the rotational shaft 14 and the camera base 13 is pulled out of the housing housing 10. The rotation restricting member 17 has a plate shape, a rod shape, or a string shape such as a wire, and is engaged with the housing housing 10 and the camera base 13. The rotation restricting member 17 restricts the rotation angle of the camera base 13 when the camera base 13 is pulled out of the housing housing 10. The camera base fixing member 18 is a fastening member such as a screw, and fixes the camera base 13 and the housing casing 10 when the camera base 13 is accommodated in a predetermined position of the housing casing 10. The cable 15 is wired via the vicinity of the rotating shaft 14 and connects the connector 16 of the camera device 2 and the control board 5.

  According to the present invention, even when the camera base 13 moves in and out of the housing housing 10, the movement locus of the connector 16 is an arc length centering on the rotation shaft 14, and the extra length of the cable 15 is reduced. I can do it. Further, in order to wire the cable 15 via the vicinity of the rotating shaft 14 and connect the connector 16 of the camera device 2 and the control board 5, a holding means for clamping the cable 15 is provided near the rotating shaft 14. It is preferable to provide in. In this case, the holding means may be installed at a position that is 20% or less of the distance between the rotation shaft 14 and the surface of the housing housing 10 facing the opening 12. preferable. Furthermore, the holding means may be installed at a position that is not more than 10% of the distance between the rotation shaft 14 and the surface of the housing housing 10 facing the opening 12. preferable. Further, the holding means is installed on the camera base 13 or the housing casing 10, but more preferably is installed on the housing casing 10.

According to the camera housing having the above-described configuration, the extra length of the cable 15 when the lens device 1 and the camera device 2 are pulled out of the housing housing 10 can be minimized, and the cable 15 can be prevented from being caught.
Even when the rotating shaft 14 is arranged at a place other than the above, the same effect as that of the present invention can be obtained. However, since the housing casing 10 is enlarged, the arrangement of the first embodiment is preferable.
