Description

One-touch connection block of pole for cow growth inspection filming equipment}

The present invention relates to the improvement of a lightweight mobile pole connector for installing video information cameras for growth inspection of Korean beef. In particular, it is used to quickly disassemble or assemble multiple poles required for expansion and installation of multiple cameras to obtain various shooting data. This is about the one-touch connection block of the pole of the Korean beef growth inspection equipment.

Here, background information related to the present invention is provided, but this does not necessarily mean prior art.

In order to test the growth of Korean beef, it is necessary to analyze image information captured in a non-contact manner. Korean beef photography involves filming each part of Korean beef, and requires filming multiple parts with a single shooting setup. Such filming is done using multiple cameras, which are installed in a dome shape at regular intervals to enable filming of the left, right and top sides of the Korean beef.

Figure 1 is a perspective view showing the state of use for general growth inspection of Korean beef using a camera and pole. Here, the symbol 100 is an extension pole extended from the basic pole 200. The symbol 300 represents several cameras, and the symbol 400 represents the main base with a square structure that supports the entire device.

Since filming for Korean beef growth inspection is done by visiting scattered breeding farms here and there, the pole 200 on which the camera is mounted must be quickly disassembled and assembled. In other words, once filming is completed at the first farm, the filming equipment must be quickly dismantled, reduced in size, stored in a rectangular case, and moved to the second farm.

In this case, a plurality of connection connectors or joint couplings are also used between the poles 200 to enable rapid disassembly/assembly.

All of the conventional representative connectors have a screw assembly/disassembly structure. Therefore, when disassembling or assembling these multiple connectors, the time required for the work was very long and unreasonable.

To solve this problem, a one-touch clamping type coupling was proposed.

Figure 2 is a perspective view showing a conventional joint coupling. The joint coupling 620 has a structure that can be opened and closed in two parts in order to unfold or fold the pole 200. A first joint block 622 having a locking protrusion on one inner side, a locking pin that engages the locking protrusion opposite to the first joint block 622, and an elastic means for elastically changing the position of the locking pin. A second joint block 624 including a spring, a fixing rod for fixing the locking pin, and a spring support 628 is provided. On one side of the first joint block 622 and the second joint block 624, cylindrical caps 622a and 624a each have pole holes 629 for receiving the pole 200.

One side of the first joint block 622 is formed by a pair of hinge pieces 622b cut in the center, and one side of the second joint block 624 is formed in the cut center part of the first joint block 622. A hinge piece 622b to be inserted is formed. A hinge pin 611 that penetrates these hinge pieces 622b and 624b to open and close the joint coupling 620 is installed.

Therefore, when the first joint block 622 and the second joint block 624 are assembled, they are joined in a state where they face each other and are in contact with each other. By this combination, the joint coupling 620 can connect or disassemble multiple poles 200.

However, in this type of coupling, since several poles 200 are screwed together in advance using the joint coupling 620, there is an advantage of saving work time due to screw assembly or disassembly, but it is small in size. The locking jaw must be located precisely in the locking hole for the locking action to work, which is very difficult and cumbersome, reducing work efficiency in the actual field.

In addition, the pole 200 is inserted into the cylindrical caps 622a and 624a. Due to the weight of the multiple cameras 300 mounted on the pole 200, the central axis of the cylindrical caps 622a and 624a There is a problem with it shaking and making assembly difficult.

In addition, there are physical and design limitations in handling the shaking of the cylindrical caps 622a and 624a with only the relatively small first joint block 622 and second joint block 624, which causes frequent problems. .

In consideration of this, the inventor of the present invention has developed a one-touch connection to the pole of the Korean beef growth inspection imaging equipment that can quickly assemble/disassemble the pole 200 and the poles 200 with one touch, thereby ensuring the portability and mobility of the imaging equipment. Provides blocks.

Republic of Korea Patent Application No. 10-2021-0156487 (2021.11.15. Korean beef growth test data collection device and method) Republic of Korea Patent No. 10-2500763 (2023.02.13. Lightweight movable frame structure for installation of video information camera for growth inspection of Korean beef) All of the above are prior inventions of the applicant of this invention.

Korean beef growth inspection imaging equipment is used while visiting beef farms scattered in various locations. At this time, the filming equipment uses multiple poles, and these poles need to be dismantled or assembled quickly.

Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 2, the pole can be unfolded or folded using a joint coupling. This is a multiple screw assembly method. This method inevitably takes a lot of time for assembly and disassembly.

In addition, since the poles must be spread out to the other side of the beef like an umbrella pole, there are physical and design limitations for the joint coupling to bear the weight of these poles, causing problems such as bending or shaking.

Considering this, the present inventors and others have completed a connection block that allows poles to be quickly assembled and disassembled with one touch. The imaging equipment using this connection block provides a one-touch connection block to the pole of the Korean beef growth inspection imaging equipment that ensures quick portability and mobility.

The technical problems to be achieved in the present invention are not limited to the technical problems mentioned above, and other technical problems not mentioned can be clearly understood by those skilled in the art from the description below. It could be.

Hereinafter, with reference to the attached drawings, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail so that those skilled in the art can easily implement the present invention. However, the present invention may be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. In order to clearly explain the present invention in the drawings, parts unrelated to the description are omitted, and similar parts are given similar reference numerals throughout the specification.

The pole one-touch connection block of the Korean beef growth inspection imaging equipment of the present invention is used to interconnect the poles 200 forming a lattice structure. In this case, the connection block of the present invention is applied to the connection portion of several poles 200 that are interconnected.

Figure 3 is a perspective view showing the one-touch connection block of the present invention. In this drawing, reference numeral 500 denotes a connection block of the present invention. This connection block 500 largely consists of a fixed body 510 that functions as a body and a moving body 550 that clamps to the fixed body 510.

The moving body 550 is rotatably attached to one side of the fixed body 510 by a rotating means such as a hinge 530. Locking/unlocking means are installed on the sides of the fixed body 510 and the moving body 550 to enable one-touch attachment and detachment. In the present invention, a spring clamp 540 is selectively used to ensure stable clamping.

When the mobile body 550 is clamped to the fixed body 510 by the spring clamp 540, an assembly hole 570 is created and the pole 200 is quickly locked. That is, when the mobile body 550 is clamped with respect to the fixed body 510, the assembly hole 570 is created. This assembly hole 570 is a hole for fixing the pole 200. The moving body 550 is rotatably attached to the fixed body 510.

A plurality of fixing holes 520 and 522 may be formed in the fixing body 510 into which a plurality of poles 200 for fixing the camera are inserted and fixed.

In addition, when the mobile body 550 is unlocked using the spring clamp 540, the mobile body 550 is freely opened from the fixed body 510 to quickly and simply dismantle the pole 200.

Another feature of the present invention is the cross (+) shaped tension grooves 560 and 562 of the fixing body 510. These tension grooves 560 and 562 are formed over the entire length direction and a portion of the width direction of the fixed body 510. The tension grooves 560 and 562 absorb external forces in the longitudinal and lateral directions of the pole 200 and prevent random damage to the connection block 500 due to external force applied to the connection block 500.

Figure 4 is a plan view of the present invention. In this drawing, t1 and t2 are each predetermined interval. The gap t1 is formed between the vertical wall 512 formed at the center of the fixed body 510 and the end 552 of the moving body 550. This is to prevent the end 552 from being interfered with by the vertical wall 512 when the moving body 550 freely rotates at an obtuse angle with respect to the fixed body 510 by a rotating means such as a hinge 530.

Another gap t2 is formed between the entrance surface 514 of the fixed body 510 and the entrance surface 554 of the moving body 550. By forming a gap t2 between the two entrance surfaces 514 and 554, the assembly hole 570 into which the pole 200 is inserted and fixed does not interfere with each other by tightening the spring clamp 540, so the spring clamp The tightening force of (540) is greatly improved.

The connection block 500 of the present invention has sloping sides (S1, S2, S3) here and there. Due to the formation of these inclined surfaces (S1, S2, S3), in the work of assembling and disassembling the connection block 500, ease of operation, prevention of safety accidents for the operator, reduction of self-weight, exclusion of interference with other parts, and manufacturing Savings in city materials are achieved.

Also, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, an empty space 580 (indicated by a dotted line in FIG. 4) is formed inside the assembly hole 570 for fixing and assembling the pole 200. This empty space 580 has the function of accommodating slight distortion of the pole 200 when the pole 200 is inserted into the assembly hole 570, as the strong tightening force of the spring clamp 540 acts on the pole 200. do. If this empty space 580 does not exist, there is a risk that the pole 200 may be damaged. Since the spring clamp 540 is a mechanical part that is tightened relatively strongly, if there is no space to accommodate the distortion of the pole 200, the pole 200 is likely to be damaged. In other words, the empty space 580 is a space to prevent damage to the pole 200.

Figure 5 is a usage diagram illustrating the assembled state of the pole 200 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. In this drawing, the vertical pole 200 is strongly bound by the spring clamp 540 within the assembly hole 570, and the pole 200 is installed at a right angle to the other pole 200, that is, the assembled pole 200. is a permanently assembled pole.

The filming equipment is equipped with multiple cameras (300) on a pole (200). Since this camera 300 must photograph the front, top, and rear sides of Korean beef (or dairy cow), the pole 200 may be configured at an obtuse angle. The connection block 500 is prepared for this situation.

Figure 6 is a perspective view showing another embodiment of the present invention. The first body 590, which extends vertically, and the second body 592, which extends from the first body 590 and has an obtuse angle θ (including right angles and acute angles), may be formed integrally. The first body 590 and the second body 592 may be formed separately, but the present inventor recommends a structure in which they are formed as one body. The second body 592 may employ two or more spring clamps 542 and 544.

The present invention was completed by taking into account the problems and disadvantages of the conventional complete screw assembly method, or the connection method in which some block-type connector methods were applied to some screw assembly methods. The inventors provided a connection block that allows quick one-touch assembly/disassembly of the pole 200 and the pole 200, thereby providing a one-touch pole for Korean beef growth inspection filming equipment that can ensure the portability and mobility of the filming equipment. It has the effect of providing a connecting block.
