[0003] A search revealed that Chinese patent application number CN202420460922.X discloses a video conferencing camera, including a base housing and a camera body. The top of the base housing has a through groove, and a column is fixedly connected inside the base housing. The top of the column has a storage groove. An annular mounting plate is provided inside the base housing and is slidably fitted onto the column. An electric telescopic rod for driving the annular mounting plate to rise and fall is installed inside the base housing. An annular groove is provided on the top of the annular mounting plate, and an annular connecting block is slidably connected in the annular groove.

The camera 11 is located above the base 10. A first support 12 and a second support 13 are fixedly installed on the top of the base 10. The camera 11 is located between the first support 12 and the second support 13. Two sets of rotating arms 21 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the camera 11. The ends of the two sets of rotating arms 21 away from the camera 11 are movably installed on the corresponding first support 12 and second support 13. A cover 14 is provided at the front end of the camera 11. A rotating assembly is provided between the camera 11 and the cover 14. The rotating assembly includes a second convex plate.

[0032] Specifically, by installing a first support 12 and a second support 13 on the top of the base 10, the camera 11 is movably mounted between the first support 12 and the second support 13 via a rotating arm 21. By setting an adjustment component in the cavity of the first support 12, the elevation angle of the camera 11 can be electrically adjusted according to the requirements of the meeting. By setting a cover 14, the front end of the camera 11 can be physically blocked, avoiding privacy leaks that may occur due to software vulnerabilities after the remote meeting ends, thus improving the privacy of the device.

[0033] Please see Figure 3 The micro servo motor 19 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the camera 11. The output shaft of the micro servo motor 19 is fixedly connected to the second convex plate 18. The second convex plate 18 and the first convex plate 16 are symmetrical to each other.

[0034] Specifically, by setting a micro servo motor 19 to be installed on the outer wall of the camera 11, the micro servo motor 19 drives the second protrusion 18 to rotate when it is working. The second protrusion 18 is fixedly connected to the cover 14, thereby driving the cover 14 to rotate.

[0035] Please see Figure 4 A protruding post 17 is fixedly installed on one side of the first protruding plate 16. The hook 15 is arc-shaped. A connecting rod 20 is fixedly installed between the hook 15 and the camera 11. The protruding post 17 can be movably engaged in the groove of the hook 15.

[0036] Specifically, the first protruding plate 16 is fixedly connected to the cover 14, and a protruding post 17 is fixedly connected to one side of the first protruding plate 16. The outer wall of the camera 11 is fixedly connected to the hook 15 through the connecting rod 20.

The limiting ring 25 is set to limit the rotating main shaft 22, which improves the stability of the device.

[0039] The implementation principle of a video conferencing camera for information transmission in this application embodiment is as follows: When adjusting the elevation angle of the camera 11, the stepper motor 27 drives the second helical gear 26 to rotate. The rotating main shaft 22 is fixedly inserted through the first helical gear 23. The second helical gear 26 is movably meshed with the first helical gear 23. The second helical gear 26 drives the first helical gear 23 and the rotating main shaft 22 to rotate. The rotating main shaft 22 drives the camera 11 to rotate through the rotating arm 21, thereby completing the adjustment of the elevation angle of the camera 11. The limiting ring 25 is set to limit the rotating main shaft 22, which improves the stability of the device. By installing the first support 12 and the second support 13 at the top of the base 10, the camera 11 is movably installed between the first support 12 and the second support 13 through the rotating arm 21. By setting the adjustment component in the cavity of the first support 12, the elevation angle of the camera 11 can be electrically adjusted according to the requirements of the meeting. By setting the cover 14, the front end of the camera 11 can be physically blocked to avoid privacy leakage due to software vulnerabilities after the remote meeting ends, thereby improving the privacy of the device.
