[0023] like Figure 1-3As shown, this embodiment provides a floating mobile camera device, including a floating airbag 4, a first propeller driving mechanism 3, a second propeller driving mechanism 6, a high-definition camera 2, an ultrasonic detection obstacle avoidance module 10 and a control mainboard 9, wherein the high-definition camera 2 is embedded in the front end of the floating airbag 4, and the floating airbag 4 is provided with balancing wings 8 on the left and right sides, respectively, and the ultrasonic detection obstacle avoidance module 10 is installed on the balancing wings 8, respectively, and the first propeller driving mechanism 3 and the second propeller driving mechanism 6 are respectively arranged at the bottom and the tail of the floating airbag 4, and the control mainboard 9 is provided with a power module and a communication module 12, and the control mainboard 9 is installed on the floating airbag 4, and the control mainboard 9 is electrically connected with the high-definition camera 2, the ultrasonic detection obstacle avoidance module 10 and the control ends of the first propeller driving mechanism 3 and the second propeller driving mechanism 6. The mobile camera device is equipped with a mobile terminal 1 to interact with the mobile camera device via the cloud.

[0024] In this embodiment, the floating airbag 4 is a hydrogen airbag to provide floating lift for the high-definition camera. Figure 3 As shown, the upper side of the floating airbag 4 is provided with a top suction cup 5, so that when the mobile camera device does not move, it can be fixed to the indoor ceiling by the top suction cup 5, and can be temporarily fixed to a designated position. At this time, the propeller stops automatically, which not only saves the power consumed by the floating camera for static adjustment, but also improves the stability of the floating camera during static shooting. The ultrasonic detection obstacle avoidance module 10 on the balance side wings 8 on both sides of the floating airbag can detect obstacles during the movement of the camera, and then effectively adjust and plan the optimal obstacle-free path, thereby improving the safety of the camera moving indoors.

[0025] like Figure 4 As shown, the high-definition camera is composed of a camera inner shell 15, a camera sleeve shell 16 and a camera mounting shell 19. A first steering gear 18 is installed on the inner side of the camera mounting shell 19. The output end of the first steering gear 18 is connected to one side of the camera sleeve shell 16 to drive it to swing up and down. The other side of the camera sleeve shell 16 is rotatably connected to the camera mounting shell 19 via a rotating shaft. A second steering gear 17 is installed on the inner side wall of the bottom of the camera sleeve shell 16. The output end of the second steering gear 17 is connected to the bottom of the camera inner shell 15 to drive it to swing left and right. The upper part of the camera inner shell 15 is rotatably connected to the camera sleeve shell 16 via a rotating shaft. The steering gear 17 controls the left and right field of view adjustment of the camera inner shell, and the steering gear 18 controls the up and down field of view adjustment of the shell 16. When the steering gear 17 and the steering gear 18 work together, multi-angle field of view shooting can be performed when the high-definition camera is stationary as a whole, which not only improves the working efficiency of the high-definition camera in finding objects, but also further extends the battery life of the floating camera.

[0026] In this embodiment, a balancing tail 14 is provided at the tail of the floating airbag 4 , and the second propeller driving mechanism 6 is disposed on the balancing tail 14 to quickly adjust the direction of the floating airbag.

The second propeller driving mechanism 6 is mainly composed of a second propeller and a second driving motor, the second driving motor is installed on the balancing tail of the floating airbag, and its output end is connected to the second propeller to drive its rotation.

[0028] The rise, fall and speed of the floating airbag can be adjusted by controlling the forward and reverse rotation of the first drive motor and the first propeller. The floating airbag itself also has a certain buoyancy. When the propeller is in a stationary state, the floating airbag slowly floats up close to balance until it is adsorbed to the ceiling.

[0029] The control motherboard sends the image captured by the high-definition camera to the cloud through the communication module and stores it in the database of the remote server. The remote server has PC and mobile applications deployed. The application deployed by the remote server can be logged in through the PC or mobile terminal to view the video. Figure 5 As shown, the control interface of the mobile terminal or PC terminal can control and adjust the position of the high-definition camera.

[0030] In this embodiment, the power module can be a Panasoinc VL series button rechargeable battery pack, such as: VL621 (0.2g, 3v). The motor can be a portescap 08ts (weight 3.8g) or 720-motor (weight 3g). The circuit board can be processed in the form of FPCB (flexible circuit board, light weight).

[0031] The working process of the present invention is as follows: when in use, turn on the camera switch, use a mobile phone or PC to connect to the camera through the client or log in to the website, such as Figure 5 As shown in the video display bar 20 of the page, the video can be viewed in real time. The direction button 21 on the page operation area is used to control the movement of the floating camera, so that the camera can move between different rooms; the direction button 22 on the page operation area is used to adjust the direction of the floating camera; clicking the one-key stop button 23 in the page operation area can make the camera complete the operation of the top suction cup 5 adsorbing the ceiling; the field of view adjustment button 24 in the page operation area can rotate the lens, so that the floating camera can also complete multi-angle field of view shooting in the stop state.
