Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a camera waterproof cover that can be used for a camera that is installed outdoors and used for monitoring outdoor equipment.

For example, when a network camera used indoors is used outdoors for monitoring outdoor equipment, a LAN cable is connected to the camera, and the camera is fixed to the top of a tripod and installed at a desired location. When such an indoor camera is used as an outdoor surveillance camera, it is necessary to take sufficient waterproof measures against rain and the like. For this reason, conventionally, every time the camera A is installed, it is covered with a plastic bag and the LAN cable is pulled out from the opening below the plastic bag.

Conventionally, as a waterproof cover for a camera, there is one in which a holder for housing the camera is housed in a bag (see Patent Document 1), and a camera front portion which is formed to substantially follow the outer shape of the camera. Also known is a camera that is composed of a front cover and a rear cover that covers the rear of the camera (see Patent Document 2).

JP 2007-225869 A JP-A-62-298306

However, when the plastic bag is used for waterproof curing, the curing method is inconsistent, the work is inefficient, and the image becomes unclear. In addition, when checking the camera when there is an image abnormality or the like, it was necessary to reapply the curing each time.
In this regard, the above-mentioned conventional camera waterproof cover provides a predetermined waterproof function and eliminates blurring of images. It is not installed. For this reason, it cannot be applied to cameras having different shapes, and thus lacks versatility. In addition, when it is installed outdoors, it may be hit by a foreign object or exposed to wind and rain for a long time. The above damage directly affects the camera, and water may enter from a position higher than the camera installation position, so the waterproof function cannot be fully guaranteed.
Furthermore, in the outdoors, sunlight causes lens flare, and the temperature inside the cover rises. For this reason, the conventional waterproof cover for cameras is not suitable for a camera installed outdoors in terms of strength and structure.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances. A main object of the present invention is to provide a waterproof cover for a camera that can suppress the influence of sunlight.

In order to achieve the above object, a camera waterproof cover according to the present invention is a camera waterproof cover that covers a camera that is detachably attached to a camera support, comprising:
an upper cover with an open lower surface covering the camera from above; and a bottom plate attached to close the lower surface of the upper cover,
The upper cover includes an upper wall portion extending along the rear surface from the front surface, a pair of side wall portions integral with the upper wall portion and hanging down from both side edges of the upper wall portion, the upper wall portion and the a pair of end walls hermetically joined to the side walls and capable of facing the front and rear faces of the camera;
the bottom plate is fixed between the camera and the camera support and fixed to the top cover by a fixing means;
The upper wall portion and the pair of side wall portions of the upper cover are made of a translucent or opaque hard resin material, and the pair of end wall portions are made of a transparent hard resin material,
The upper wall portion and the side wall portion of the upper cover are characterized in that they protrude beyond the end wall portion at least on the front side.

Therefore, the camera is placed on the bottom plate and fixed to the camera support, and is housed in the case while being covered by the upper lid made of a hard resin material having a rectangular cross-sectional space with an open bottom surface. Since the top lid is not formed along the shape of the camera, and a space is formed between the top lid and the camera, the camera is housed in the waterproof cover with ample margin. Therefore, even if a foreign object strikes the upper lid, the camera can be prevented from being damaged. The upper lid is composed of an upper wall portion, a pair of side wall portions integrally provided therewith, and a pair of end wall portions on the front side and the rear side airtightly joined to the upper wall portion and the side wall portions. Since the boundary between the camera and the bottom plate on which the camera is installed is at or below the lower end of the camera, it is possible to reliably prevent wind and rain. It never gets rained on.

Furthermore, since the upper wall and the pair of side walls of the upper lid are made of a translucent or opaque resin material, it is possible to prevent direct sunlight, deterioration of the camera due to ultraviolet rays, and temperature rise in the camera and the cover. can be reduced. In addition, since the pair of terminal wall portions are made of a transparent resin material, the image does not become unclear, and the operating state of the camera and the error indicator lamp do not become difficult to see.

In addition, since the upper wall portion and the side wall portion of the upper lid protrude more than the end wall portion at least on the front side, it is easy to block backlight, and rain water hitting the end wall portion facing the lens of the camera in rainy weather. can also be reduced.
The upper wall portion and the side wall portion of the upper lid may project from the end wall portion on the front side and the rear side, respectively. With such a configuration, in addition to the effects described above, it is possible to prevent rainwater from adhering to the terminal wall portion on the rear end side of the camera, making it difficult to see the operating state of the camera and the error display lamp. It is possible to avoid inconvenience. Moreover, since it is possible to make the waterproof cover symmetrical in the front-rear direction, there is no need to pay attention to the front-rear direction in installing the waterproof cover.

In the above configuration, only the lower surface of the upper lid is open, and the lower surface of the upper lid is closed by the bottom plate on which the camera is installed. Although the effect is obtained, in order to obtain a more reliable waterproof function, it is preferable to interpose a sealing material between the top lid and the bottom plate.

In addition, since the camera is installed in the waterproof cover with a margin, there may be a problem that the orientation of the camera accommodated in the waterproof cover is not fixed in a predetermined orientation. Therefore, it is preferable to provide a guide plate for fixing the direction of the camera on the upper surface of the bottom plate. By providing such a guide plate, it is possible to always keep the installation state (orientation) of the camera in the cover constant.

As described above, according to the present invention, the camera is provided with an upper cover whose lower surface is open and which covers the camera from above, and a bottom plate attached so as to close the lower surface of the upper cover. and a pair of end wall portions hermetically joined to the top wall portion and the side wall portions, and the top cover is fixed between the camera and the camera support. the upper wall portion and the pair of side wall portions of the upper lid are made of translucent or opaque hard resin material, and the pair of end wall portions are made of transparent hard resin material; Furthermore, since the upper wall portion and the side wall portion of the upper lid project at least on the front side from the end wall portion,
(1) Since the camera can be accommodated in the waterproof cover with plenty of room, damage to the camera can be suppressed even if a foreign object collides with the cover.
(2) A top lid with only the bottom surface open is used, and the bottom surface of the top lid is closed by the bottom plate on which the camera is placed, so that the boundary between the top lid and the bottom plate does not come above the camera, resulting in an effective waterproof effect. is obtained,
(3) Since the upper wall and the pair of side walls of the upper lid are made of translucent or opaque resin material, the inconvenience of the camera being exposed to direct sunlight (degradation of the camera due to ultraviolet rays and temperature rise inside the camera and the cover) can be reduced. can
(4) Since the pair of end walls are made of a transparent resin material, the image does not become unclear, and the operational status of the camera and the error display lamps can be easily seen.
(5) Since the upper wall and side walls of the top cover project more than the end wall at least on the front side, it is easy to block backlight and rainwater adheres to the end wall in rainy weather. can be reduced.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail based on the drawings.

The camera waterproof cover 1 is used when an indoor camera, for example, a network camera A (hereinafter referred to as a camera) that does not require a power cable and is connected only to a LAN cable, is installed outdoors. As shown in FIG. 1, it is fixed to a platform C of a tripod B so as to prevent the camera A, which is accommodated and fixed inside, from being hit by wind, rain and foreign objects.

The camera waterproof cover 1 is entirely made of synthetic resin, and as shown in FIGS. It is composed of a bottom plate 3 and a bottom plate 3.

The upper lid 2 is a cover body having a U-shaped cross section, in which a flat upper wall portion 21a and a pair of side wall portions 21b and 21c that are bent at approximately 90 degrees from both side edges of the upper wall portion 21a are integrated. 21, and a pair of terminal wall portions 22 and 23 which are airtightly joined to the upper wall portion 21a and side wall portions 21b and 21c of the cover body 21 with an adhesive or the like and which are capable of facing the front and rear surfaces of the housed camera, is configured with

The cover main body 21 is formed of a translucent or opaque acrylic plate (for example, gray) in order to prevent direct sunlight, ensure strength, and reduce weight. It extends along an axis parallel to the side wall portions 21b and 21c, with one end side in the axial direction being the front side and the other end side being the rear side.

On the other hand, the end wall portions 22 and 23 are formed by processing a transparent acrylic plate into a shape that matches the cross-sectional shape surrounded by the cover body 21 and are fixed to the front side and the rear side of the cover body 21 . These terminal wall portions are provided substantially perpendicular to the upper wall portion 21a and the side wall portions 21b and 21c (substantially perpendicular to the axis horizontal to the upper wall portion and the side wall portions). They are mounted in alignment with the positions of the front and rear ends of the lower edges of the side walls 21b and 21c.

In this example, the side walls 21b and 21c of the cover body 21 are formed such that the upper edge is longer than the lower edge, and the rear ends of the upper and lower edges are located at the same position as the terminal wall 23 on the rear surface side. However, on the front side, the front end of the upper edge protrudes further forward than the front end of the lower edge. Therefore, the terminal wall portion 23 on the rear side is erected so as to coincide with the rear end of the cover body 21 , but the terminal wall portion 22 on the front side is located further than the front end of the upper wall portion 21 a of the cover body 21 . The cover body 21 is erected at a front position, and the cover body 21 protrudes forward from the end wall portion 22 toward the upper side.
The upper lid 2 formed in this manner is formed to have a size that can accommodate network cameras of various shapes, and the camera A does not come into contact with the inner surface of the upper lid when the camera A is accommodated.

The bottom plate 3 is formed of a translucent or opaque acrylic plate (for example, gray) in order to prevent direct sunlight, ensure strength and reduce weight. In addition, the width is formed to a dimension that allows the pair of side wall portions 21b and 21c to be placed simultaneously, and the length in the axial direction is formed to a dimension that substantially matches the length of the lower side of the side wall portions 21b and 21c. ing. Therefore, when the bottom plate 3 is attached to the top lid 2 from below, the pair of front and rear end walls 22 and 23 are placed on the front and rear edges of the bottom plate 3 so that the entire opening of the top lid 2 is closed. It's becoming

On the upper surface of the bottom plate 3, standing pieces 31 and 32 are integrally formed along the inner surfaces of the side walls 21b and 21c of the pair of cover bodies 21. As shown in FIG. The pair of standing pieces 31, 32 are formed to have a predetermined length along the side walls 21b, 21c, and the surfaces facing the side walls 21b, 21c of the upper lid 2 slide on the inner surfaces of the side walls 21b, 21c. It touches or has a slight clearance. Screw holes 33 are formed at predetermined intervals in the standing pieces 31 and 32, and fixing screws 24 are inserted into the side walls 21b and 21c facing each other at positions aligned with the screw holes 33. A through hole 25 is formed to allow

Further, in the vicinity of the center of the bottom plate 3, a through hole 34 for inserting a camera mounting screw of a tripod platform and a through hole 35 for passing a LAN cable connected to the camera are provided.

In the above configuration, in order to attach the camera waterproof cover 1, the LAN cable D is passed from below through one of the through holes 35 from the bottom plate 3, and this LAN cable D is connected to the camera A (or the camera Pass the LAN cable D connected to A from above). In addition, the camera mounting screw E of the camera platform C of the tripod B is inserted through the other through hole 34 from below the bottom plate 3 and matched with the screw hole of the camera A to adjust the orientation of the camera A on the bottom plate 3. While adjusting the front surface of the camera A toward the front surface of the upper lid 2 so as to be able to face the end wall portion 22, and adjusting the rear surface of the camera A toward the rear surface of the upper lid 2 so as to be able to face the end wall portion 23 ), the bottom plate 3 is sandwiched and fixed between the camera A and the camera platform C.

After that, the top lid 2 is placed on the bottom plate 3 so as to cover the camera A, and the top lid 2 is placed on the bottom plate 3 so as to cover the entire opening of the top lid 2 with the bottom plate 3. 25 are aligned with the screw holes 33 of the standing pieces 31 and 32 . Then, the fixing screws 24 are inserted into the through holes 25 from the outside of the upper lid 2 and screwed into the screw holes 33 of the standing pieces 31 and 32 to firmly fix the upper lid 2 to the bottom plate 3. - 特許庁

As a result, the camera A is fixed to the tripod B while being entirely covered with the camera waterproof cover 1, and is housed with a space secured between it and the top cover 2. - 特許庁
At this time, the upper lid 2 is closed in the front, rear, left, right, and upper portions by the cover main body 21 and the end wall portions 22 and 23 airtightly joined thereto, and the boundary with the bottom plate 3 is positioned at the lower end of the camera A. Therefore, even if the camera is left outdoors for a long time, wind and rain will not hit the camera, and even if rainwater enters from the boundary between the top cover 2 and the bottom plate 3, the camera A will not be hit.
Moreover, since the camera A is installed in the cover without contacting the upper lid 2, even if the upper lid is damaged by a foreign matter colliding with the upper lid 2, the damage to the camera can be suppressed. .

Further, since the upper wall portion 21a, the pair of side wall portions 21b and 21c, and the bottom plate 3 of the upper lid 2 are made of a translucent or opaque resin material, direct sunlight can be prevented from hitting the camera, and the camera can be left outdoors for a long time. Even so, deterioration of the camera due to ultraviolet rays and temperature rise in the camera and the cover can be reduced.

Furthermore, since the pair of end wall portions 22 and 23 are made of a transparent resin material, the unclearness of the image is eliminated, and it is possible to avoid inconveniences such as the camera operating state and error display lamps being difficult to see. Become.

Furthermore, on the front side, the upper wall portion 21a and the side wall portions 21b and 21c of the upper lid 2 are projected more than the end wall portion 22, so that it is easy to block the backlight, and in rainy weather, the rainwater ends. It is possible to avoid inconvenience such as sticking to the wall portion 22 and making it difficult to see.

Further, in the above-described configuration, since the standing pieces 31 and 32 are erected along the side walls 21b and 21c of the bottom plate 3, even if rainwater enters from the gap between the top cover 2 and the bottom plate 3, It is possible to prevent rainwater from reaching the camera A. In order to more reliably prevent rainwater from reaching the camera A, standing pieces may be provided along the entire periphery of the bottom plate 3 (along the end wall portions 22 and 23 as well). standing pieces may be provided). By doing so, a more reliable waterproof function can be obtained without providing a sealing member between the upper lid 2 and the bottom plate 3. - 特許庁

In the above configuration, since the top cover 2 covers the front, rear, left, right, and top, a waterproof function that does not hinder practical use can be obtained. In the above example, it is necessary to attach the top cover 2 in the front and back so as not to confuse the front and back. When rainwater adheres, it becomes difficult to see the operation status of the camera, the error display lamp, etc., so if you want to solve this, and furthermore, when installing the camera on the bottom plate 3, it is not necessary to adjust the installation status (orientation) of the camera A. If it is desired to use the camera waterproof cover shown in FIGS.

5 to 7, a second structural example of the camera waterproof cover will be explained. , and a bottom plate 3 attached so as to close the open portion of the upper lid 2 .

The upper lid 2 includes a flat upper wall portion 21a, a pair of side wall portions 21b and 21c bent at approximately 90 degrees from both side edges of the upper wall portion 21a and hanging down, and lower ends of the pair of side wall portions 21b and 21c. An adhesive is applied to the cover main body 21 having a substantially rectangular cross section integrated with the lower wall portion 21d for bridging the edge, the upper wall portion 21a of the cover main body 21, the pair of side wall portions 21b and 21c, and the lower wall portion 21d. and a pair of end walls 22, 23 which are hermetically joined by means of, for example, and are capable of confronting the front and rear surfaces of the housed camera.

The upper wall portion 21a of the cover body 2 is formed to have a length corresponding to the length of the upper edge of the pair of side walls 21b and 21c, and the lower wall portion 21d is formed to have the length of the lower edge of the pair of side walls 21b and 21c. It is made to fit length. An opening 26 is formed in the middle of the lower wall portion 21d, and a locking margin 27 having a predetermined width is formed around the periphery of the opening. Screw holes 28 are formed in the locking margin 27 at predetermined intervals.

The cover main body 21 is formed of a translucent or opaque acrylic plate (for example, gray) in order to prevent direct sunlight, ensure strength, and reduce weight. , the side walls 21b, 21c, and the lower wall 21d, with one end side in the axial direction being the front side and the other end side being the rear side.

On the other hand, the end wall portions 22 and 23 are formed by processing a transparent acrylic plate into a shape that matches the cross-sectional shape surrounded by the cover body 21 and are fixed to the front side and the rear side of the cover body 21 . These terminal wall portions 22, 23 are substantially perpendicular to the upper wall portion 21a, side wall portions 21b, 21c, and lower wall portion 21d. ), and are attached in alignment with the positions of the front and rear ends of the lower edges of the side walls 21b and 21c.

In this example, the side walls 21b and 21c of the cover body 21 are formed so that the upper edge is longer than the lower edge. The front end of the upper edge protrudes forward from the front end of the lower edge, and the rear end of the upper edge projects rearward from the rear end of the lower edge on the rear surface side.
Therefore, the terminal wall portion 22 on the front side is erected at a position in front of the front end of the upper wall portion 21a of the cover main body 21, and the terminal wall portion 23 on the rear surface side is provided on the upper wall portion 21a of the cover main body 21. The cover body 21 is erected in front of the rear end, and the cover body 21 protrudes forward from the end wall portion 22 and also protrudes rearward from the end wall portion 23 toward the upper side. Therefore, the upper cover 2 has a symmetrical shape in the front and rear directions, and is shaped so that either of the axial directions can be the front side or the rear side.
The upper lid 2 formed in this manner is formed to have a size that can accommodate network cameras of various shapes, and the camera A does not come into contact with the inner surface of the upper lid when the camera A is accommodated.

The bottom plate 3 is formed of a translucent or opaque acrylic plate (for example, gray) in order to prevent direct sunlight, ensure strength and reduce weight. The width and length in the axial direction are formed to match the width and length in the axial direction of the lower wall portion 21d. A pair of defining guide plates 36 are erected at a predetermined interval. The pair of guide plates 36 are positioned and sized so as not to interfere with the locking margin 27 on the periphery of the opening of the lower wall portion 21d. Acts as an aid for orientation. A through hole 37 is formed in the peripheral edge of the bottom plate 3 at a position aligned with the screw hole 28 formed with the engagement margin 27 of the lower wall portion 21d.

Therefore, when the bottom plate 3 is assembled to the top cover 2 from below, the peripheral edge of the bottom plate 3 overlaps the engagement margin 27 of the lower wall portion 21d of the top cover 2 (cover main body 21), and the pair of guide plates 36 provided on the bottom plate 3 are aligned. protrudes inside the upper lid 2 from the opening 26 of the lower wall portion 21d.
A seal member 4 is provided between the lower wall portion 21d of the upper lid 2 and the bottom plate 3 to airtightly seal the space between the lower wall portion 21d and the bottom plate 3. As shown in FIG. The seal member 4 is formed in a size matching the size of the lower wall portion 21d, has an opening 41 that matches the opening 26 of the lower wall portion 21d, and has the same shape as the engagement margin 27 of the lower wall portion 21d. is formed in The seal member 4 also has a through hole 42 formed at a position aligned with the screw hole 28 of the lower wall portion 21d.

Therefore, the bottom plate 3 is assembled to the lower wall portion 21d through the sealing member 4, and the fixing screws 24 inserted through the through holes 37 and 42 are threaded into the screw holes 28 of the top lid 2 to attach the bottom plate 3 to the top lid 2. When the lower wall portion 21d is tightened, the entire space between the engagement margin 27 of the lower wall portion 21d and the bottom plate 3 is airtightly sealed by the sealing member 4. As shown in FIG.
Since other configurations are the same as those of the configuration example described above, the same reference numerals are given to the same portions, and the description thereof will be omitted.

In the above configuration, in order to attach the camera waterproof cover 1 to the tripod B, the LAN cable D is passed through one of the through holes 35 from below the bottom plate 3, and the LAN cable D is connected to the camera A (or Pass the LAN cable D connected to the camera A from above). In addition, the camera mounting screw E of the camera platform C of the tripod B is inserted through the other through hole 34 from below the bottom plate 3 to match the screw hole of the camera A. At this time, since a pair of guide plates 36 are provided on the bottom plate 3, if the camera A is placed between the pair of guide plates 36 or on top of the pair of guide plates 36, the camera A so that the front surface of the camera A faces the front surface of the upper lid 2 (so as to face the terminal wall portion 22 on the front side), and the rear surface of the camera A faces the rear surface of the upper lid 2 (as opposed to the terminal wall portion 23 on the rear surface side). The bottom plate 3 can be sandwiched and fixed between the camera A and the camera platform B in a state where the installation state (orientation) of the camera is defined on the bottom plate. Become.

After that, the seal member 4 is placed on the bottom plate 3 , and the upper lid 2 is put on the camera A so as to cover it. The upper lid 2 and the bottom plate 3 are fixed via the sealing member 4 by aligning them, inserting the fixing screws 24 into the through holes 37 and 42 from the outside of the bottom plate 3 and screwing them into the screw holes 28 of the top lid 2 . At this time, by tightening the fixing screw 24 strongly, the space between the top lid 2 and the bottom plate 3 is firmly sealed by the sealing member 4 .

As a result, the camera A is fixed to the tripod B while being airtightly covered with the camera waterproof cover 1, and stored with a space secured between it and the top cover 2. - 特許庁
At this time, the top lid 2 is closed in front, rear, left, right and top by the cover main body 21 and the terminal wall portions 22 and 23 airtightly joined thereto, and the boundary with the bottom plate 3 is set below the lower end of the camera A. Moreover, since the boundary with the bottom plate 3 is sealed with the seal member 4, it is possible to reliably prevent rainwater from entering.
In addition, since the camera A is installed inside the cover without contacting the upper lid 2, even if the upper lid is damaged by a foreign object colliding with the upper lid 2, the damage to the camera can be suppressed. .

Further, since the upper wall portion 21a, the pair of side wall portions 21b and 21c, and the bottom plate 3 of the upper lid 2 are made of a translucent or opaque resin material, direct sunlight can be prevented from hitting the camera, and the camera can be left outdoors for a long time. Even so, deterioration of the camera due to ultraviolet rays and temperature rise in the camera and the cover can be reduced.
