This application claims priority from Korean Patent Application No. 10-2023-0131016 filed on Sep. 27, 2023, in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein in its entirety by reference.
The present disclosure relates to a multi-camera assembly, and more specifically, to a multi-camera assembly capable of improving an assembly structure to implement a smooth rotation feeling during a panning process of a camera assembly, and furthermore, of providing a compact structure.
Generally, a surveillance camera for the purpose of monitoring a specific area has a plurality of camera assemblies having pan/tilt/zoom movements for the purpose of covering a wide area with a small number of devices and of tracking an object with a specific movement. In particular, among the types of surveillance cameras, a dome camera has a circular symmetrical shape around a central axis, so that the dome camera may easily perform pan/tilt/zoom movements and may be miniaturized. Thus, use frequency thereof is increasing.
A surveillance camera is equipped with the dome cover that is designed to cover a plurality of cameras with a transparent optical outer part, and is configured to prevent fogging or condensation on the dome cover by blowing air to an inner surface of the dome cover using a fan mounted in an inside of the dome cover. Specifically, the conventional dome camera is installed with a plurality of blower fans, a plurality of intake ports, and a plurality of exhaust ports corresponding to and adjacent to the plurality of camera assemblies disposed in a circumferential direction of a housing.
The blower fans may be used to remove moisture generated by a difference between temperatures of the inside and the outside of the camera device, or may be used to cool the camera assembly or the circuit board that may be overheated depending on the installation/use environment.
In addition, the dome cover is configured to include a transparent panel that transmits reflected light from a subject therethrough so that the reflected light may enter the camera assembly, and a light transmissive panel that transmits infrared rays irradiated from the light assembly therethrough. Since the transparent panel and the transmission panel of this dome cover are made of different materials or have different shapes, they are manufactured as separate components and then assembled with each other and the assembly is mounted on the housing.
However, the conventional surveillance camera has limitations in securing a spacing between the camera assemblies for panning. Further, a product size inevitably increases due to the need for a spatial leeway to implement panning and tilting. Thus, a scheme is needed to meet the need of the demand for miniaturization of the surveillance camera.
Provided is a multi-camera assembly that may provide a smooth friction feeling during a panning process between camera assemblies, may reduce a size of each of a plurality of camera assemblies to secure a panning spacing, and may improve an interface location to reduce an overall height thereof.
According to an aspect of the present disclosure, a multi-camera assembly includes: a plurality of camera assemblies; a plurality of frame pans supporting the plurality of camera assemblies, the plurality of camera assemblies being configured to tilt relative to each of the plurality of frame pans; a frame bottom supporting the plurality of frame pans thereon, the plurality of frame pans being configured to revolve around a center axis of the frame bottom in a panning direction of the plurality of camera assemblies; a shaft pan coupled to the frame bottom and configured to fix inner sides of the plurality of frame pans to the frame bottom; and a plurality of elastic members, each elastic member between each of the plurality of frame pans and the frame bottom.
The frame bottom may include a stopper adjacent to a light assembly disposed outwardly from the frame bottom. The stopper may include a coupling groove facing inwardly to a panning axis of the plurality of camera assemblies. Each of the plurality of frame pans may include a protrusion configured to be inserted into the coupling groove.
Each of the plurality of frame pans may include a fixed portion positioned inwardly from the protrusion. The fixed portion may include an elastic member receiving groove facing the frame bottom. The elastic member may be received by the elastic member receiving groove.
The fixed portion may include fixing grooves respectively at opposing sides of the fixed portion in the panning direction. The fixing grooves may be spaced from each other to allow the elastic member to be elastically deformed in a state in which the elastic member is compressed.
Opposing ends of the elastic member may be respectively inserted into the fixing grooves. The elastic member may include a leaf spring extending between the opposing ends of the elastic member, protruding convexly towards the frame bottom and contacting the frame bottom.
Each elastic member may be individually received by the elastic member receiving groove of the fixed portion.
The shaft pan may be configured to outwardly press an inner side surface of each of the fixed portions.
The shaft pan may include: an interface between the plurality of camera assemblies and constituting as a top of the shaft pan; one or more extensions arranged in a circumferential manner and extending downward from the interface; and a pressing portion connecting lower ends of the one or more extensions to each other. The pressing portion may press an upper surface of each of the fixed portions or an inner side surface of each of the fixed portions.
The shaft pan may further include at least one communication hole between the one or more extensions and extending between the interface and the pressing portion.
Each of the plurality of frame pans may include: a first support and a second support supporting opposing sides of a camera assembly of the plurality of camera assemblies to allow the camera assembly to tilt around a tilt axis extending through the first support and the second support; a friction member between the first support and one side of the camera assembly of the plurality of camera assemblies, the friction member contacting both the first support and the one side of the camera assembly of the plurality of camera assemblies; and a through-hole formed in an upper area of the second support, another side of the camera assembly of the plurality of camera assemblies being insertable into the through-hole.
Each camera assembly of the plurality of camera assemblies may include: a frame at the first support and the second support frame and configured to tilt around the tilt axis extending through the first support and the second support; a first cover inserted into an inner space of the frame and rotatable about the frame; and a second cover coupled to the first cover and configured to rotate with the first cover in a state in which the first cover rotates about the frame.
The first cover may include a fastener receiving groove defined in an inner surface of the first cover. The fastener receiving groove may extend in a rotational direction of the first cover. A portion of a fastener may be configured to be inserted through the first support and into the fastener receiving groove.
The frame may include a stopper insertable into the through-hole of the second support, wherein the stopper may protrude outward in an aligned manner with the tilt axis of the camera assembly of the plurality of camera assemblies. The stopper may include a protrusion protruding from an outer surface of the stopper. The through-hole of the second support may include a groove extending outward from an inner surface of the through-hole. The groove of the through-hole and the protrusion of the stopper may be aligned or off-set with each other in a direction of the tilt axis.
When the camera assembly of the plurality of camera assemblies is tilted relative to the plurality of frame pans in a tilting angular range, the groove of the through-hole and the protrusion of the stopper may partially overlap each other in the direction of the tilt axis.
According to another aspect of the present disclosure, a multi-camera assembly includes: a plurality of frame pans supporting the plurality of camera assemblies, the plurality of camera assemblies being configured to tilt relative to each of the plurality of frame pans; a frame bottom supporting the plurality of frame pans thereon, the plurality of frame pans being configured to revolve around a center axis of the frame bottom in a panning direction of the plurality of camera assemblies; and a plurality of shaft pans, each between the plurality of camera assemblies and comprising a central axis coinciding with a central panning axis of the frame bottom, wherein the shaft pan is configured to press a fixed portion of each of plurality of frame pans, wherein each of the fixed portions constitutes as an inner portion of each of the plurality of frame pans.
Each shaft pan may include: an interface between the plurality of camera assemblies and constituting as a top of the shaft pan; vertical extensions extending downward from the interface; and a pressing portion connecting lower ends of the vertical extensions to each other, wherein the pressing portion presses an upper surface of each of the fixed portions or an inner side surface of each of the fixed portions.
The interface may include at least one of a reset button, a USB terminal, or a memory card slot.
Each shaft pan may further include at least one communication hole between the vertical extensions in a horizontal and angular manner, wherein each of the at least one communication hole may be between the interface and the pressing portion.
At least one of a power line or a control signal line of the plurality of camera assemblies and a light assembly inside the plurality of frame pans may pass through the at least one communication hole.
The multi-camera assembly may further include a dome covering outer sides of the plurality of camera assemblies and the interface.
A smooth panning revolving feeling may be implemented by individually providing the elastic member corresponding to each camera assembly so as to be received between the frame pan and the frame bottom.
A uniform rotation (or spinning) feeling of the camera assembly may be provided by improving the joint structure between the frame and the cover rotate (i.e. first cover).
A more compact appearance may be achieved by defining the fastener receiving groove in the cover rotate (i.e. first cover) to reduce the overall size of the camera assembly.
The panning angle of the camera assembly may be further increased while the size of the camera assembly may be reduced, such that a wider angle of view for surveillance may be secure.
The interface may be installed at the top of the shaft pan such that a side height of the housing may be reduced.

In
First, the housing 20 may be disposed to constitute an edge of the multi-camera assembly 10 extending approximately along a circumference of the multi-camera assembly 10. The housing 20 may have a set height and may have a receiving space 21 defined therein. The housing 20 may be bent inwardly while extending along the circumference such that a step 22 is formed at a top of the housing. An outer end of the dome cover 30 and a support frame 40 may be coupled to the step, so that the camera assembly 100 may be covered with the dome cover 30 and the support frame 40.
The support frame 40 may be received in the receiving space 21 of the housing 20. The support frame 40 may be equipped with a circuit board, etc. mounted thereon. The frame bottom 200 may be fixedly disposed on the support frame 40. The frame bottom 200 may be located in the receiving space 21.
Furthermore, a receiving space 51 in which a light assembly 50 is received may be formed in an outer edge and along the circumferential direction of the frame bottom 200.
A receiving space in which an elastic member 500 is received may be formed on an upper surface of the frame bottom 200 and at a position adjacent to a central area where the shaft pan 400 is fixedly disposed.
Furthermore, the frame pans 300 may be disposed to respectively support the plurality of camera assemblies 100 thereon so as to be tiltable. Each of the frame pans 300 may be able to perform a panning motion while being disposed on the frame bottom 200.
In this regard, the camera assembly 100 may perform tilt/pan/rotation (spin) motions and thus perform corresponding tilting, panning and rotation functions.
In the tilting motion, each camera assembly 100 may pivot upwardly or downwardly around a tilt axis TA of each frame pan 300. In the panning motion, the camera assembly 100 may revolve clockwise or counterclockwise around a panning axis PA corresponding to and coinciding with a center line of the frame bottom 200 under a rotation of the frame pan 300 around the axis PA. For example, the tilting angle may be in a range of 0 to 90°, and the panning angle may be in a range of 0 to 360°. In the rotation motion, each camera assembly 100 may rotate or spin around a center line of each camera assembly, which will be described later in a separate manner. For example, the rotation angle may be in a range of 0 to 90°.
Further, the shaft pan 400 may be coupled to a center of the frame bottom 200 and may be disposed around the panning axis PA. At this time, the shaft pan 400 may press an inner side of each frame pan 300 toward the frame bottom 200 to fix the each frame pan 300 thereto. The frame pans 300 may revolve around the panning axis PA while being disposed on the frame bottom 200.
In this embodiment, four camera assemblies 100 and four corresponding frame pans 300 and four light assemblies 50 are provided, respectively, by way of example.
Therefore, one camera assembly 100 may pan or resolve around the panning axis PA to get closer or further away from another camera assembly adjacent thereto in a clockwise manner or another camera assembly adjacent thereto in an anti-clockwise manner.
Referring to
Each frame 110 may be pivotally coupled to each frame pan 300 at the tilt axis TA.
The cover rotate 120 may be coupled to an inner side surface of the frame 110. The cover rotate 120 may be coupled to the frame in a screw rotation manner while being inserted into an inner space defined by the frame 110. The cover rotate 120 may partially pass through the inner space of the frame 110 in a lower center area thereof, and may be combined with the frame in the screw rotation manner so as not to be removed from the frame 110.
The cover front 130 may be disposed on top of the frame 110. In this regard, the cover front 130 and the cover rotate 120 may rotate (spin) simultaneously while the cover front 130 us coupled to the cover rotate 120.
Among the tilting/panning/rotation (spin) as described above, the rotation or the spinning of the camera assembly 100 may occur when the cover front 130 and the cover rotate 120 rotate or spin simultaneously around a rotation axis RA. For example, the rotation or spinning of the cover front 130 in a state where the installation of the multi-camera assembly 10 is completed may provide a function to control reversal of an image or adjust a levelness according to a shooting direction.
Furthermore, the frame bottom 200 may have a stopper 210 formed adjacent to the receiving space of the light assembly 50. The stopper 210 may have a coupling groove 211 formed to face inwardly to the panning axis PA. That is, the stopper 210 may have a closed top and bottom, and may be opened inwardly through the coupling groove 211. A portion of the frame pan 300 may be inserted into the coupling groove 211.
In this regard, the frame pan 300 may include a protrusion 340 inserted into the coupling groove 211. That is, the protrusion 340 may protrude in a direction away from the panning axis PA and may be formed as a curved surface corresponding to the panning rotation direction PD. Therefore, the frame pan 300 may be supported on the frame bottom 200 so that an outer side thereof is not removed from the coupling groove 211 in the panning rotation direction PD due the protrusion 340.
Furthermore, the frame pan 300 may include a fixed portion 310. The fixed portion 310 may be disposed inside the frame pan 300. An elastic member receiving groove 311 may be concaved upwardly so as to face the frame bottom 200 may be defined in the fixed portion. That is, the elastic member receiving groove 311 may be formed in a lower area of the frame pan 300 while the frame pan 300 is bent so as to protrude in the upward direction. The elastic member 500 may be individually installed inside each elastic member receiving groove 311.
This fixed portion 310 may have fixing grooves 312 formed on both opposing sides along the installation direction of the elastic member 500. That is, the fixing grooves 312 are respectively disposed on both opposing sides along the panning rotation direction PD of the frame pan 300, and both opposing ends of the elastic member 500 may be inserted into the on both opposing fixing grooves 312, respectively.
In addition, the elastic member 500 may include an inserted portion 510 and a leaf spring 520.
Each inserted portion 510 may be disposed at each of both opposing ends of the leaf spring 520 and may be inserted into each fixing groove 312.
The leaf spring 520 may be formed in a cross section that is approximately in a “U” shape such that the leaf spring protrudes convexly in the downward direction as illustrated in
The elastic member 500 may be installed between the frame pan 300 and the frame bottom 200 so as to be compressed under a predetermined pressure. When the frame pan 300 rotates around the panning axis PA, the panning motion may be performed around the panning axis PA while the elastic member 500 applies the pressure such that the frame pan 300 and the frame bottom 200 become closer to each other.
At this time, the elastic member 500 may have a predetermined slip between the both opposing fixing grooves 312 during the panning process. A smoother rotation may be performed via the elastic restoring force of the elastic member 500 and the slip generated by the rotation, thereby providing a fixing force at a set position. To this end, a fixed spacing 530, in which the elastic member 500 may move, may be formed between one fixing groove 312 adjacent to each other in the elastic member receiving groove 311. In a state in which the both opposing ends of the elastic member 500 are inserted into the on both opposing fixing grooves 312, the elastic member 500 may be elastically deformed when being compressed. Furthermore, the elastic member 500 may have a perforated area 521 formed in an area adjacent to the inserted portion 510 at each of both opposing ends of the leaf spring 520. The perforated area 521 may provide a more gentle elastic restoring force of the elastic member 500 and may contribute to discharge heat due to friction thereof with the frame bottom 200 during the panning process.
Although not shown in the drawing, the elastic member 500 may be formed so that a portion in a longitudinal direction of the elastic member 500 is bent into a curve or surface along the panning rotation direction PD.

The interface 410 may include at least one or more of an USB terminal 411, a reset button 412, or a memory card slot on an upper surface thereof.
Furthermore, the pressing portion 420 may press an upper surface or an inner side surface of the fixed portion 310 in a close contact manner with each other to fix an inner side of the frame pan 300. The pressing portion 420 may be fixed by a fastener passing through a bottom of the frame bottom 200.
In addition, the extensions 430 may connect the interface 410 and the pressing portion 420 to each other, and may include at least one communication holes 431 extending therethrough. The communication hole 431 defined in the inside of the shaft pan 400 may communicate with an outside out of the camera assembly 100 such that at least one (L in
Therefore, a structure for connecting the power line and the control signal line to the circuit board CB may be improved to prevent the line from being exposed from the outside and to neatly organize the line connection structure. Furthermore, since the interface 410 is located at the top of the shaft pan 400, the interface 410 may be accommodated in an inner space of the dome cover 30. Thus, compared to a structure in which the interface 410 is disposed separately on a side surface of the housing 20, an overall height of the assembly may be reduced, thereby implementing a more compact product.
Referring to
Furthermore, a friction member 321 is interposed between the first support 320 and one side of the frame 110. The first support 320, the friction member 321, and the frame 110 may be fastened to each other via a fastener 322. In this regard, the friction member 321 provides a predetermined frictional force between the first support 320 and the frame 110, thereby providing a uniform contact feeling during a process in which the camera assembly 100 is tilted using the first support 320 as a pivot axis. That is, when the camera assembly 100 pivots around the tilt axis TA of the first support 320, a predetermined frictional force may be provided, so that the tilting angle may be accurately adjusted. Furthermore, the tilting angle may be fixed so as not to change from the fixed value.
The friction member 321 may be positioned at a position at which the first support 320 and the frame 110 overlap each other in the vertical direction, such that an assembly spacing d1 may be reduced. This may increase a spacing d2 between the adjacent camera assemblies 100. When the spacing d2 between the camera assemblies 100 is increased, the spacing between the adjacent camera assemblies 100 in the panning rotation thereof around the panning axis PA within the multi-camera assembly 10 of the same size may be increased, so that an angle range in which the camera assembly 100 and the frame pan 300 may rotate or resolve may be increased. As the angle range in the panning rotation may be increased, a surveillance area that may be monitored through the camera assembly 100 may also be increased.
Furthermore, a through-hole 331 may be formed in the second support 330, and a stopper 111 inserted into the through-hole 331 may be disposed on the other side of the frame 110 facing the through-hole 331.
The stopper 111 inserted into the through-hole 331, and a fastener 322 passing through the friction member 321 and the first support 320 may constitute a tilt shaft acting as the tilt axis TA.
The through-hole 331 may have a groove 332 recessed outwardly from an inner surface thereof. That is, the through-hole 331 may be formed as a hole having a constant radius in the tilt axis TA. The groove 332 may be an area extending outwardly beyond a radius of the through-hole in the tilt axis TA.
Furthermore, the stopper 111 may have a protrusion 112 protruding outwardly from an outer surface thereof and having a shape corresponding to a shape of the groove 332.
Therefore, when the stopper 111 is inserted into the through-hole 331, the camera assembly 100 and the frame pan 300 may be coupled to each other only when the groove 332 and the protrusion 112 may be engaged with each other. In this engaged state, only when the groove 332 and the protrusion 112 may be aligned with each other, the camera assembly 100 and the frame pan 300 may be removed from each other. For example, when the camera assembly 100 is completely coupled to the frame pan 300 along the tilt axis TA, the groove 332 and the protrusion 112 may not be aligned with each other as the camera assembly is within the tilt rotation angle range. That is, the groove 332 and the protrusion 112 may only partially overlap with each other, preferably, may be completely misaligned or off-set with each other in the angle range in which the camera assembly 100 is tilted.

One of
The fastener receiving groove 113 formed in the inner surface of the cover rotate 120 may provide an effect of reducing the overall weight of the camera assembly 100 and increasing the assembly workability.
Therefore, according to the multi-camera assembly according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, a smooth panning revolving feeling may be implemented by individually providing the elastic member corresponding to each camera assembly so as to be received between the frame pan and the frame bottom. Further, a uniform rotation (or spinning) feeling of the camera assembly may be provided by improving the joint structure between the frame and the cover rotate. Further, a more compact appearance may be achieved by defining the fastener receiving groove in the cover rotate to reduce the overall size of the camera assembly. Further, the panning angle of the camera assembly may be further increased while the size of the camera assembly may be reduced, such that a wider angle of view for surveillance may be secure. The interface is installed at the top of the shaft pan such that a side height of the housing may be reduced.
While the present disclosure has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that the present disclosure is not limited to the same configurations and operations as the specific embodiments described above, and various changes in form and detail may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure as defined by the following claims. Therefore, the scope of the present disclosure is defined not by the detailed description of the invention but by the following claims, and all differences within the scope will be construed as being included in the present disclosure.
