Patent number: 10300511Abstract: A clean method is configured for a surveillance camera. The surveillance camera comprises a mounting bracket and a main body which is rotatable relative to the mounting bracket so that the main body is rotatable around at least one rotation axis. The clean method includes the following steps. Drive the main body to rotate in a first path from a prepared position to an end of the first path, which is away from the prepared position, and to strike the mounting bracket to get the main body cleaned. Correct a relative position relationship between the main body and the mounting bracket.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2017Date of Patent: May 28, 2019Assignee: VIVOTEK INC.Inventor: Hsiang-Lin Hsu

Patent number: 10203094Abstract: A light emitting device includes a casing, a lighting module, and a lens module. The lighting module is disposed in the casing for providing light and includes first and second light sources. The lens module faces the lighting module and includes a first lens aligned with the first light source, a second lens aligned with the second light source, a sliding frame, and a driving motor. The sliding frame is fixed to the first lens and has a thread portion. The driving motor has a screw rod for engaging with the thread portion, to make the sliding frame movable along the screw rod. The driving motor rotates the screw rod to make the thread portion drive the first and second lenses close to or away from the first and second light sources. Accordingly, the present invention reduces the manufacturing cost of the light emitting device and simplifies its mechanical design.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2016Date of Patent: February 12, 2019Assignee: VIVOTEK INC.Inventors: Hsiang-Lin Hsu, Ping-Yu Lai, Yi-Hsin Yeh

Publication number: 20170134700Abstract: An image surveillance device includes a casing, a lens module, a heater, a heat conduction sheet and a fan module. The lens module is disposed in the casing for capturing images. The heater is used for generating thermal energy. The heat conduction sheet is attached to the lens module and the heater for conducting the thermal energy to the lens module. The fan module is disposed on the heater for guiding airflow to cause heat convection in the casing. Accordingly, the present invention can solve the prior art problem that the thermal energy is accumulated on the heater, so as to greatly improve the thermal energy efficiency of the image surveillance device.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 4, 2016Publication date: May 11, 2017Inventors: Hsiang-Lin Hsu, Hsuen-Chun Lu

Publication number: 20160313531Abstract: A lens device includes a circuit board, a lens module, a sensor for receiving images captured by the lens module, and a positioning pad. The lens module has an optical axis. The sensor is disposed on the circuit board and has a central axis and first and second reference surfaces perpendicular to each other. The positioning pad is disposed on the lens module and has a hollow structure for containing the sensor. The hollow structure has first and second abutting sides and first and second biasing elastic arms. The first and second biasing elastic arms are opposite to the first and second abutting sides respectively for biasing the sensor to a position where the first and second reference surfaces abut against the first and second abutting sides respectively when the sensor is contained in the hollow structure, so as to make the central axis aligned with the optical axis.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 19, 2016Publication date: October 27, 2016Inventor: Hsiang-Lin Hsu

Publication number: 20160112609Abstract: A monitoring apparatus includes a main body, a mounting plate, and a fixing plate. The mounting plate is connected to the main body and has a first bending rib structure protrusively formed thereon. The fixing plate is fixed to a mounting target and is disposed opposite to the mounting plate. The fixing plate has a first opening structure formed thereon corresponding to the first bending rib structure and a second bending rib structure laterally extending from the first opening structure. When the mounting plate is connected to the fixing plate to make the first bending rib structure pass through the first opening structure, the first bending rib structure rotates with rotation of the mounting plate relative to the fixing plate to be engaged with the second bending rib structure, so as to fix the mounting plate to the fixing plate.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 15, 2015Publication date: April 21, 2016Inventors: Hsiang-Lin Hsu, Yuan-Han Chang
