[0036] The front of the smart fitness mirror is a large mirror surface, with a display area in the middle. This area can display fitness videos and other information. Above the display area is a camera. When the user follows the fitness video on the smart fitness mirror, the mirror can use the camera to identify whether the user's fitness movements are correct and make corresponding corrections.

[0037] However, because the user's height and the distance between the user and the smart fitness mirror affect the camera's recognition accuracy, the camera's shooting angle needs to be adjusted according to the user's actual usage to achieve the best recognition accuracy. However, most smart fitness mirrors on the market do not allow adjustment of the camera's shooting angle.

[0038] To address the aforementioned technical problems, the present invention provides a camera device.

[0039] See Figures 1 to 11 The camera device includes a camera module 100, a base 200, a connecting shaft 300, and a dial 400. The camera module 100 is provided with a first connecting side plate 122, which is provided with a first connecting hole 129. The base 200 is provided with a first through hole 211 and a second connecting side plate 230. The camera lens 132 on the camera module 100 is aligned with the first through hole 211. The second connecting side plate 230 is provided with a second connecting hole 231, which is aligned with the first connecting hole 129. The connecting shaft 300 is fixed by passing through the first connecting hole 129 and the second connecting hole 231. The first connecting hole 129 and the connecting shaft 300 are rotatably engaged. The dial 400 is fixed on the first connecting side plate 122.

[0040] During use, by pushing the dial 400, the camera module 100 is rotated around the connecting shaft 300, thereby enabling the camera module 100 to adjust its shooting angle.

[0041] The camera module 100 includes a camera assembly 110 and a mounting base 120. The mounting base 120 includes a first base plate 121, a first connecting side plate 122 and a third connecting side plate 123. A first connecting hole 129 is located in the middle of the first connecting side plate 122.

[0042] The overall structure of the mounting base 120 is a grooved plate structure.

[0043] In some embodiments, the first connecting side plate 122 and the third connecting side plate 123 are both vertically welded to both sides of the first base plate 121.

[0044] In some other embodiments, the two sides of the first base plate 121 are bent vertically in the same direction to form a first connecting side plate 122 and a third connecting side plate 123.

[0045] A rectangular second through hole 124 is provided in the middle of the first base plate 121. A first connecting post 125 is provided at each of the four corners of the back of the first base plate 121. The first connecting post 125 is provided with a threaded hole. The camera lens 132 of the camera assembly 110 passes through the second through hole 124. The fixing plate 130 on the camera assembly 110 is provided with four mounting holes 131. The four mounting holes 131 are aligned with the four first connecting posts 125. Then, the connecting bolt 133 is passed through the mounting holes 131 and tightened in the first connecting post 125 to fix it, so that the camera module 100 is fixed on the mounting base 120.

[0046] The base 200 includes a second base plate 210, a second connecting side plate 230 and a fourth connecting side plate 220, and a second connecting hole 231 is located in the middle of the second connecting side plate 230.

[0047] The base 200 has an overall structure of a grooved plate.

[0048] In some embodiments, the second connecting side plate 230 and the fourth connecting side plate 220 are both vertically welded to both sides of the second base plate 210.

[0049] In some other embodiments, the two sides of the second base plate 210 are bent vertically in the same direction to form a second connecting side plate 230 and a fourth connecting side plate 220.

[0050] The dial 400 has a fan-shaped structure and an open clearance hole 410 in the middle to allow passage for the connecting shaft 300 and parts mounted on the connecting shaft 300. The dial 400 has two third through holes 420, which are located on both sides of the clearance hole 410. The first connecting side plate 122 has two second connecting posts 126, which are located on both sides of the first connecting hole 129. The second connecting posts 126 have threaded holes. The two third through holes 420 on the dial 400 are aligned with the two second connecting posts 126 on the first connecting side plate 122. Then, the connecting screw 127 is passed through the third through holes 420 and tightened into the second connecting posts 126, so that the dial 400 is fixed on one side of the mounting base 120. By rotating the dial 400, the entire camera module 100 can be rotated around the connecting shaft 300.

[0051] To facilitate the rotation of the dial 400, in some embodiments, friction textures 430 are provided on the arc-shaped outer edge of the dial 400, which makes it easier to rub the dial 400 by hand.

[0052] One end of the connecting shaft 300 is provided with a first nut 301. The shaft of the connecting shaft 300 is provided with a threaded section 302 and a rotating shaft section 303. The rotating shaft section 303 passes through the first connecting hole 129 and the second connecting hole 231. A nut 304 is assembled on the threaded section 302. The first connecting side plate 122 and the second connecting side plate 230 are fixed between the first nut 301 and the nut 304.

[0053] Specifically, a circular first nut 301 is installed at one end of the connecting shaft 300. One section of the shaft of the connecting shaft 300 is provided with external threads, while the remaining end is not provided with threads. The section with external threads is away from the first nut 301 on the connecting shaft 300. After the connecting shaft 300 passes through the first connecting hole 129 and the second connecting hole 231, the rotating shaft segment 303 mates with the first connecting hole 129 and the second connecting hole 231. A nut 304 is screwed into the threaded segment 302, thereby fixing the first connecting side plate 122 and the second connecting side plate 230 between the first nut 301 and the nut 304.

[0054] In some embodiments, the first connecting hole 129 is a circular hole, a portion of the hole wall of the second connecting hole 231 is a planar structure, a limiting plane 305 is provided on the connecting shaft 300, the limiting plane 305 is in contact with a portion of the planar hole wall of the second connecting hole 231, and the second connecting hole 231 is rotatably engaged with the connecting shaft 300.

[0055] Specifically, the second connecting hole 231 has an overall strip-shaped hole structure. The two long side walls of the second connecting hole 231 are planar, and the two short side walls are semi-circular. Limiting planes 305 are provided on both sides of the connecting shaft 300, extending from one end to the other. When the connecting shaft 300 passes through the first connecting hole 129 and the second connecting hole 231, the limiting planes 305 on both sides of the connecting shaft 300 will interact with the interior of the second connecting hole 231. The planar hole walls fit together, preventing the connecting shaft 300 from rotating within the second connecting hole 231. Since the first connecting hole 129 is circular, the connecting shaft 300 does not restrict the first connecting hole 129. Therefore, only the camera module 100 can rotate around the connecting shaft 300, while the connecting shaft 300 cannot rotate due to the effect of the second connecting hole 231. At the same time, the base 200 will not rotate around the connecting shaft 300, thus ensuring the stability of the camera module 100 during angle adjustment.

[0056] In order to ensure that the first connecting side plate 122 and the second connecting side plate 230 are tightly connected, in some embodiments, a first gasket 500 is provided between the first connecting side plate 122 and the second connecting side plate 230, and a third connecting hole 510 is provided on the first gasket 500, through which the connecting shaft 300 passes.

[0057] Furthermore, in some other embodiments, a portion of the wall of the third connecting hole 510 is a planar structure, and the limiting plane 305 is in contact with a portion of the planar wall within the third connecting hole 510.

[0058] Specifically, the third connecting hole 510 has an overall strip-shaped hole structure. The two long side walls of the third connecting hole 510 are planar structures, and the two short side walls are semi-circular structures. When the connecting shaft 300 passes through the third connecting hole 510, the limiting planes 305 on both sides of the connecting shaft 300 will fit against the inner planar structure of the third connecting hole 510. Therefore, the first gasket 500 will not rotate relative to the connecting shaft 300, thereby preventing the first gasket 500 from rotating when the camera module 100 is rotated.

[0059] In some embodiments, a second washer 600 is provided between the nut 304 and the first washer 500, and a fourth connecting hole is provided on the second washer 600, through which the connecting shaft 300 passes.

[0060] Furthermore, part of the wall inside the fourth connecting hole is a planar structure, and the limiting plane 305 fits into part of the planar wall inside the fourth connecting hole.

[0061] Specifically, the fourth connecting hole has a strip-shaped hole structure. The two long side walls of the fourth connecting hole are planar, and the two short side walls are semi-circular. When the connecting shaft 300 passes through the fourth connecting hole, the limiting planes 305 on both sides of the connecting shaft 300 will fit against the planar hole wall of the fourth connecting hole. Therefore, the second washer 600 will not rotate relative to the connecting shaft 300, thus preventing the second washer 600 from rotating when the camera module 100 is rotated. In this way, when the camera module 100 rotates, no torque will be transmitted to the nut 304 through the second washer 600, thereby preventing the nut 304 from loosening.

[0062] The camera module 100 is provided with a third connecting side plate 123, and the third connecting side plate 123 is provided with a fifth connecting hole 128. The base 200 is provided with a fourth connecting side plate 220, and the fourth connecting side plate 220 is provided with a sixth connecting hole 221. A centering shaft 800 passes through the fifth connecting hole 128 and the sixth connecting hole 221. The centering shaft 800 and the sixth connecting hole 221 are rotatably connected. The centering shaft 800 is fixedly connected to the fifth connecting hole 128.

[0063] Specifically, the fifth connecting hole 128 is located in the middle of the third connecting side plate 123 and is a threaded hole. The sixth connecting hole 221 is located in the middle of the fourth connecting side plate 220. The shaft of the centering shaft 800 is provided with a rotating shaft part 802 and a screw part 803. One end of the rotating shaft part 802 is provided with a second nut 801, and the other end of the rotating shaft part 802 is installed with the screw part 803. The diameter of the screw part 803 is smaller than the diameter of the rotating shaft part 802. During installation, the rotating shaft part 802 of the centering shaft 800 passes through the sixth connecting hole 221, the screw part 803 of the centering shaft 800 is tightened in the fifth connecting hole 128, and the end of the rotating shaft part 802 abuts against the fourth connecting side plate 220. The second nut 801 abuts against the outside of the fourth connecting side plate 220, thereby making the camera module 100 stably installed on the base 200.

[0064] It should be noted that the first connecting side plate 122 is located outside the second connecting side plate 230, and the third connecting side plate 123 is located inside the fourth connecting side plate 220. Therefore, the mounting base 120 and the base 200 are connected in a staggered manner.

[0065] Since the mounting base 120 drives the camera assembly 110 to rotate within the groove of the base 200 around the connecting shaft 300, in order to prevent the first connecting side plate 122 and the third connecting side plate 123 on the mounting base 120 from interfering with the second base plate 210 on the base 200, in some embodiments, two inclined avoidance slopes are provided on the side of the first connecting side plate 122 near the second base plate 210, and two inclined avoidance slopes are provided on the side of the third connecting side plate 123 near the second base plate 210. That is, both the first connecting side plate 122 and the third connecting side plate 123 are triangular plate structures, so that the first connecting side plate 122 and the third connecting side plate 123 will not touch the second base plate 210 during the rotation of the mounting base 120.

[0066] To further prevent the nut 304 mounted on the connecting shaft 300 from loosening, in some embodiments, a plurality of butterfly washers 307 are fitted on the connecting shaft 300, and each butterfly washer 307 is clamped between the nut 304 and the second washer 600.

[0067] Specifically, the butterfly gasket 307 has an opening 308 in the middle. The opening 308 and the open portion of the butterfly gasket 307 are not on the same plane. The butterfly gasket 307 is fitted onto the connecting shaft 300 through the opening 308.

[0068] In some embodiments, four butterfly-shaped washers 307 are provided between the nut 304 and the second washer 600. The four butterfly-shaped washers 307 are arranged in opposite directions. When the nut 304 is tightened, it will compress the four butterfly-shaped washers 307. The butterfly-shaped washers 307 will undergo elastic deformation and apply pressure to the second washer 600. The second washer 600 will transmit the pressure to the first washer 500, so that the first washer 500 and the second washer 600 are in close contact with both sides of the first connecting side plate 122. This increases the friction between the first connecting side plate 122 and the first washer 500 and the second washer 600. After the camera module 100 rotates to a predetermined position, it can achieve hovering at any position by relying on the friction between the first connecting side plate 122 and the first washer 500 and the second washer 600.

[0069] In some embodiments, a rubber ring 309 is provided between the nut 304 and the butterfly washer 307. When the nut 304 is screwed into the connecting shaft 300, the nut 304 will squeeze the rubber ring 309, causing the rubber ring 309 to undergo elastic deformation, thereby increasing the friction between the nut 304 and the threaded segment 302 on the connecting shaft 300.

[0070] In some embodiments, the base 200 is provided with an adhesive film 900, which is used to attach and fix the base 200 to the inner side of the lens mounting position 002 of the fitness mirror.

[0071] Specifically, the adhesive film 900 is a double-sided adhesive, and the center of the adhesive film 900 is provided with a through hole that aligns with the first through hole 211 on the second base plate 210.

[0072] In addition, the present invention also provides a fitness mirror, wherein the camera device of the present application is installed inside the camera mounting position 002 of the fitness mirror 001, the dial 400 of the camera device is exposed on the rear side of the fitness mirror 001 for easy rubbing by hand, and the camera lens 132 of the camera module 100 is exposed on the front side of the fitness mirror.

[0073] Of course, this application is not limited to the above-described embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of this invention. All such equivalent modifications or substitutions are included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
