[0054] This invention provides a camera mechanism and helmet for easy assembly and disassembly.

[0055] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a camera mechanism provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 for Figure 1 The top view of the camera setup shown. Figure 3 for Figure 2 The image shows a cross-sectional view of the camera mechanism along plane AA. Figure 4 for Figure 1 An exploded view of the camera setup shown.

[0056] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The camera mechanism of this invention includes a housing 1, a chassis 2, a mounting base 3, and a lens assembly 4.

[0057] The housing 1 includes a main body 101, a connecting part 102, and a top 103, as shown below. Figure 5 As shown. One end of the connecting part 102 is fixedly connected to the main body 101, and the other end of the connecting part 102 is fixedly connected to the top 103. Optionally, the main body 101, the connecting part 102, and the top 103 are integrally formed.

[0058] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, along the target direction 5, the top 103, the connecting portion 102, and the main body 101 are arranged sequentially. In this embodiment of the invention, the target direction 5 is the direction from the top 103 to the main body 101.

[0059] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the side of the housing 1 has an opening 6, which is surrounded by the main body 101, the connecting part 102, and the top 103. The two sides of the opening 6 are the connecting parts 102; in other words, the opening 6 is located between the connecting parts 102. Specifically, the edge of the opening 6 is the main body 101, the connecting part 102, and the top 103. Along the target direction 5, the two sides of the opening 6 are the connecting parts 102, one end of the opening 6 is the main body 101, and the other end of the opening 6 is the top 103. Along the target direction 5, the top 103, the opening 6, and the main body 101 are arranged sequentially.

[0060] Depend on Figure 3 It is understood that the chassis 2 and the main body 101 are detachably connected on the side of the main body 101 away from the connecting part 102. Specifically, the chassis 2 and the main body 101 can be connected by screws or snap-fit, etc., and the embodiments of the present invention do not specifically limit this.

[0061] Mounting base 3 and chassis 2 are fixedly connected, so that mounting base 3 and chassis 2 can move together. For example, as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the camera mechanism also includes a fixing component 9. The mounting base 3 and the fixing component 9 are integrally formed, and the fixing component 9 is fixedly connected to the chassis 2. This facilitates the assembly of the mounting base 3 and the chassis 2.

[0062] Lens assembly 4 is located between the top 103 and the mounting base 3. Furthermore, lens assembly 4 and mounting base 3 are located at opening 6. Figure 3As shown, along the target direction 5, the top 103, lens assembly 4, mounting base 3, and chassis 2 are arranged sequentially. The lens assembly 4 can be fixed in various ways, such as a fixed connection between the lens assembly 4 and the mounting base 3, or the lens assembly 4 being clamped between the top 103 and the mounting base 3. This embodiment of the invention does not specifically limit the method used.

[0063] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the opening 6 includes a first opening portion 601, which is located on the main body 101. The first opening portion 601 extends along the side of the target direction 5, and the first opening portion 601 allows the mounting base 3 and the lens assembly 4 to pass through along the target direction 5.

[0064] Thus, in this embodiment of the invention, the camera mechanism is divided into several major modules: housing 1, chassis 2, mounting base 3, and lens assembly 4. The mounting base 3 and chassis 2 are fixedly connected, and the mounting base 3 and chassis 2 can move together. Therefore, moving the chassis 2 and main body 101 relative to each other along the target direction 5 can move the mounting base 3. Furthermore, the mounting base 3 and lens assembly 4 can pass through the first opening 601 along the target direction 5, allowing unobstructed movement of the mounting base 3 and lens assembly 4. This arrangement ensures that the housing 1, chassis 2, mounting base 3, and lens assembly 4 can be moved relative to each other along the target direction 5. Because the top 103, lens assembly 4, mounting base 3, and chassis 2 are arranged sequentially along the target direction 5, moving these components relative to each other along the target direction 5 enables rapid assembly and disassembly of the camera mechanism.

[0065] Specifically, during the assembly stage, the mounting base 3 and the chassis 2 are fixedly connected. In the opposite direction of the target direction 5, from the side of the main body 101 away from the connecting part 102, the chassis 2, the mounting base 3 and the lens assembly 4 are moved relative to the housing 1. After the lens assembly 4 and the mounting base 3 are located at the opening 6, the top 103, the lens assembly 4, the mounting base 3 and the chassis 2 can be arranged sequentially along the target direction 5. Then, on the side of the main body 101 away from the connecting part 102, the chassis 2 and the main body 101 are connected and fixed, thus completing the assembly of the camera mechanism.

[0066] During the disassembly stage, the chassis 2 and the main body 101 are separated. The chassis 2, the mounting base 3 and the lens assembly 4 are moved relative to the housing 1 along the target direction 5 to disassemble the camera mechanism.

[0067] Therefore, the camera mechanism of this embodiment is easy to assemble and disassemble.

[0068] It should be understood that, in the embodiments of the present invention, the opening 6 and the mounting base 3 can be implemented in various ways.

[0069] Optionally, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, opening 6 also includes a second opening portion 602 and a third opening portion 603. The second opening portion 602 extends along the target direction 5, and the third opening portion 603 extends along the side of the target direction 5. One end of the second opening portion 602 is connected to the first opening portion 601, and the other end of the second opening portion 602 is connected to the third opening portion 603. Specifically, the first opening portion 601 is located on the main body 101, the second opening portion 602 is located on the connecting portion 102, and the third opening portion 603 is located on the top 103.

[0070] Mounting base 3 includes a first mounting portion 301, a second mounting portion 302, and a third mounting portion 303. The first mounting portion 301 extends laterally along the target direction 5, the second mounting portion 302 extends laterally along the target direction 5, and the third mounting portion 303 extends laterally along the target direction 5. One end of the second mounting portion 302 is connected to the first mounting portion 301, and the other end of the second mounting portion 302 is connected to the third mounting portion 303.

[0071] In the camera mechanism of this embodiment, the first mounting portion 301 is located at the first opening portion 601, the second mounting portion 302 is located at the second opening portion 602, and the third mounting portion 303 is located at the third opening portion 603. This allows the mounting base 3 to be accommodated at the opening 6, and gives the camera mechanism a better external shape.

[0072] Optionally, the number of mounting base 3, lens assembly 4, connector 102, and opening 6 are all at least two. For example... Figure 5 As shown, the connecting portion 102 and the opening 6 are arranged alternately around the camera mechanism. Specifically, the connecting portion 102 and the opening 6 are connected alternately and sequentially, and arranged around the interior of the camera mechanism to form a ring shape. Figure 6 As shown, the lens assemblies 4 are arranged in a circular pattern; specifically, at least two lens assemblies 4 are arranged around the interior of the camera mechanism to form a ring shape. Thus, the camera mechanism of this embodiment can accommodate multiple lens assemblies 4. For example, as... Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, there are four mounting bases 3, four lens assemblies 4, four connecting parts 102, and four openings 6. Because the lens assemblies 4 and 3 are located at the openings 6, and the lens assemblies 4 are arranged in a circular pattern, the lenses 401 of the lens assemblies 4 can face multiple directions to acquire image information from multiple directions. In some embodiments, images acquired by at least two lens assemblies 4 can be stitched together to form a panoramic image.

[0073] In an example where the camera mechanism also includes a fixing component 9, multiple mounting bases 3 can be fixed on the same fixing component 9, thereby improving the relative positional accuracy between the multiple mounting bases 3. When the lens assembly 4 and the mounting base 3 are fixedly connected, it is beneficial to improve the installation positional accuracy of the lens assembly 4.

[0074] Optionally, such as Figure 3 As shown, the camera mechanism also includes an inner cavity 7. The housing 1, chassis 2, and mounting base 3 surround the inner cavity 7. Thus, the camera mechanism of this embodiment can accommodate other devices through the inner cavity 7. For example, the camera mechanism also includes a circuit structure 8. The circuit structure 8 is disposed on the side of the chassis 2 near the connecting portion 102, and is located within the inner cavity 7. Thus, because the housing 1, chassis 2, and mounting base 3 surround the inner cavity 7, the circuit structure 8 is protected from external damage. The circuit structure 8 can be electrically connected to the lens assembly 4, and the image information acquired by the lens assembly 4 is transmitted to the circuit structure 8, which can then process the image information.

[0075] Optionally, in order to make the housing of the camera mechanism more resistant to external interference, in this embodiment of the invention, the mounting base 3 blocks the opening 6. For example, as Figure 1 As shown, the first mounting portion 301 blocks the first opening portion 601, the second mounting portion 302 blocks the second opening portion 602, and the third mounting portion 303 blocks the third opening portion 603.

[0076] As described above, there are multiple ways to fix the lens assembly 4. The following is a detailed illustrative example of fixing the lens assembly 4 and the mounting base 3.

[0077] like Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, optionally, the lens assembly 4 includes a lens 401 and a lens mount 402. The lens 401 is used to acquire image information, and the lens mount 402 is used to mount the lens 401. The lens 401 and lens mount 402 are fixedly connected. The lens mount 402 is located inside the camera mechanism, and the lens 401 is located between the top 103 and the mounting base 3, facing outwards from the camera mechanism for easy image acquisition. The lens mount 402 and mounting base 3 are fixedly connected. This achieves the fixation of the lens assembly 4.

[0078] It should be understood that, since lens 401 is located between top 103 and mounting base 3, in the example where lens assembly 4 is clamped by top 103 and mounting base 3, specifically lens 401 can be clamped by top 103 and mounting base 3, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown.

[0079] To facilitate a secure connection between the lens mount 402 and the mounting base 3, optionally, as follows: Figure 7 As shown, the mounting base 3 has slide rails 304 extending along the target direction 5 on both sides, as... Figure 8As shown, the lens mount 402 has sliding grooves 403 extending along the target direction 5 on both sides. The sliding grooves 403 are embedded in the slide rails 304, enabling quick connection between the lens mount 402 and the mounting base 3, and facilitating stable positioning of the lens mount 402. When there are multiple lens assemblies 4, the images captured by the multiple lenses 401 need to be stitched together. To achieve a good stitching effect, high installation accuracy of the lens 401 is required. This embodiment of the invention improves the installation accuracy of the lens 401 by embedding the sliding grooves 403 into the slide rails 304.

[0080] In summary, the camera mechanism of this embodiment includes a housing 1, a chassis 2, a mounting base 3, and a lens assembly 4. The housing 1 includes a main body 101, a connecting portion 102, and a top 103. One end of the connecting portion 102 is fixedly connected to the main body 101, and the other end of the connecting portion 102 is fixedly connected to the top 103. The top 103, connecting portion 102, and main body 101 are arranged sequentially along the target direction 5. An opening 6 is provided on the side of the housing 1, surrounded by the main body 101, connecting portion 102, and top 103, with the connecting portion 102 on both sides of the opening 6. The chassis 2 and main body 101 are detachably connected on the side of the main body 101 away from the connecting portion 102. The mounting base 3 is fixedly connected to the chassis 2, allowing the mounting base 3 and chassis 2 to move together. The lens assembly 4 is located between the top 103 and the mounting base 3, and the lens assembly 4 and mounting base 3 are located at the opening 6. The top 103, lens assembly 4, mounting base 3, and chassis 2 are arranged sequentially along the target direction 5. The opening 6 includes a first opening portion 601, which is located on the main body 101 and extends laterally along the target direction 5. The first opening portion 601 allows the mounting base 3 and lens assembly 4 to pass through along the target direction 5. Thus, when assembling or disassembling the chassis 2 and the main body 101, the mounting base 3 and lens assembly 4 can pass through the first opening portion 601 along the target direction 5. Moving the chassis 2, mounting base 3, and lens assembly 4 along the target direction 5, and connecting and separating the chassis 2 and the main body 101, allows for quick and convenient assembly and disassembly of the camera mechanism.

[0081] This invention also provides a helmet, which includes the camera mechanism described in the above embodiments. The main body 101 of the camera mechanism is for wearing, and the structure of the helmet can be referred to... Figure 1 and Figure 3 .

[0082] The helmet of this invention includes the camera mechanism described in the above embodiments, thus enabling quick and convenient assembly and disassembly of the camera mechanism, and the helmet of this invention is also easy to assemble and disassemble.

[0083] The above-described embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
