The main plate 310 also has a backup wire hole 350, which is generally rectangular and located between the two openings 330, for the data connection line between the camera 210 and the display 220.

[0039] Figure 7 A side view of a camera of a monitoring device and a main plate of a support according to an embodiment of the present application is shown.

[0040] The camera 210 is mounted on the first face 101 of the door body 100 to capture the environment outside the house. The display 220 is mounted on the second face 102 of the door body 100 to display the video captured by the camera 210 for the user to watch. In some embodiments, the monitoring device 200 also includes a storage device to store the video captured by the camera 210 for the user to call at any time. The display 220 and the camera 210 can communicate in a wired or wireless manner. In the present embodiment, the camera 210 and the display 220 are connected to each other by wires for data and signal transmission.

[0041] As Figure 7As shown, the camera 210 includes a flange portion 213 and a main body portion 211 connected to the flange portion 213. The main body portion 211 is sized to pass through the first opening 111, and the flange portion 213 is sized to be unable to pass through the first opening 111. In this embodiment, the flange portion 213 and the main body portion 211 are both cylindrical, and the flange portion 213 has an outer diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the first opening 111, and the main body portion 213 has an outer diameter larger than the inner diameter of the first opening 111. This allows the main body portion 211 to enter the first opening 111 when the camera 210 is pushed into the first opening 111, while the flange portion 213 is blocked outside the first opening 111 to prevent the camera 210 from entering the first opening 111 completely. When the camera 210 is installed to the door body 100, the flange portion 213 is located outside the first opening 111, and the main body portion 211 passes through the first opening 111. To prevent the camera 210 from falling into the first opening 111, the distance from the main plate 310 to the first opening 111 can be set to be smaller than the axial length of the camera 210. In some embodiments, the flange portion 213 can have other shapes, such as rectangular, square, triangular, trapezoidal, diamond, oval, etc. The end of the main body portion 211 (the end close to the main plate 310) has one or more connecting holes 216 to receive one or more screws 215. The openings 330 are aligned with the connecting holes 216 one by one. When installing the camera, the camera 210 is first inserted into the first opening 111, and then the screws 215 are used to pass through the openings 330 and be fixed into the connecting holes 216, thereby fixing the camera 210 to the bracket 300. By fixing the camera 210 to the bracket 300 hidden in the second opening 112 through the screws 215, the camera 210 can be prevented from being pulled out from outside by a person, thereby improving the security of the smart door 1000.

[0042] As Figure 6As shown, the display 220 includes a flange portion 222 and a main body portion 223. The size of the main body portion 223 is designed to be able to pass through the size of the second opening 112, and the size of the flange portion 222 is designed to be unable to pass through the second opening 112, so that when the display 220 is pushed into the second opening 112, the main body portion 223 can enter the second opening 112, while the flange portion 222 is blocked outside the second opening 112. In this embodiment, the flange portion 222 and the main body portion 223 are generally cuboids. In this embodiment, the length of the flange portion 222 is greater than the length of the second opening 112 or the width of the flange portion 222 is greater than the width of the second opening 112. In this embodiment, the length of the main body portion 223 is less than the length of the second opening 112, and the width of the main body portion 223 is less than the width of the second opening 112. The side surface of the main body portion 223 includes one or more protruding structures 221. The protruding structures 221 are aligned in position with the grooves 120. The number of protruding structures 221 is not more than the number of grooves 120. By aligning the protruding structures 221 of the display 220 with the grooves 120 and pushing in, it can be fixed to the second opening 112.

[0043] The camera 210 and the display 220 can be electrically connected by wires passing through the wire holes 340 or 350.

[0044] In some embodiments, an opening is provided on the left or right side wall 114 of the second opening 112 to connect the camera 210 and / or the display 220 with the central control circuit (not shown) of the smart door 1000.

[0045] Figure 8 A side view of the camera of the monitoring device and the main board of the bracket according to another embodiment of the present application is shown. As Figure 8 As shown, the camera 210 only includes a main body portion 211 (i.e., does not include a flange portion). Since the size of the main body portion 211 is designed to be able to pass through the first opening 111, by adjusting the screw 215 to control the distance of the camera 210 relative to the main board 310, the end surface of the camera 210 facing outward can be flush with the first surface 101, thereby improving the surface flatness and overall aesthetics of the door.

[0046] In the smart door provided by the present application, the smart monitoring device is embedded in the door body, and there is no protruding structure on the first surface and the second surface of the smart door, and the connection lines of the smart monitoring device are all arranged in the second opening, thereby improving the integration of the smart door, reducing the external space occupied by the electronic components on the smart door, and improving the overall aesthetics of the door.

[0047] In view of the foregoing, it will be seen that the foregoing detailed description is only illustrative in nature and is not intended to limit the application as disclosed. Although specific reference can be made to the examples using specific language, it is intended that such specific language be understood to refer to specific embodiments of the application and not to limit the application as a whole.
