Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of camera device adjustment structure technology, and particularly to an adjustment mechanism and an intelligent device using the adjustment mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Smart cameras are becoming increasingly popular, used for remote conferencing, home monitoring, real-time voice chat, and more. In this technology, a smart camera mainly consists of a base, a camera, and an angle adjustment device. However, adjusting the camera's angle typically requires a drive mechanism to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise, meaning the drive mechanism must constantly switch rotation directions. This affects the drive mechanism's lifespan and places higher demands on its performance, leading to increased costs. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The main objective of this invention is to provide an adjustment mechanism and an intelligent device, which aims to provide an adjustment mechanism that enables forward and reverse switching without changing the transmission direction, thereby reducing the performance requirements of the drive components.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention proposes an adjustment mechanism, the adjustment mechanism comprising:

[0005] A base, wherein the base is provided with a mounting cavity and a rotating hole communicating with the mounting cavity;

[0006] The outer casing has a sliding cavity, and the outer casing is rotatably connected to the base, with the sliding cavity corresponding to and communicating with the rotating hole;

[0007] An adjustment assembly, comprising a pusher and a transmission member disposed within the mounting cavity, one end of the transmission member being connected to the pusher, and the other end of the transmission member passing through the rotation hole and slidably disposed within the sliding cavity; the transmission member having spaced-apart first and second transmission teeth; and

[0008] The driving component has a drive gear at its output end, which is located on one side of the transmission component. The drive gear is located in the mounting cavity and meshes with the first transmission gear or the second transmission gear. The rotation plane of the drive gear is parallel to the axial direction of the transmission component.

[0009] The pusher pushes the transmission member to move along the axial direction of the transmission member, so that the housing has a first state of rotating in the forward direction relative to the base and a second state of rotating in the reverse direction relative to the base; in the first state, the first transmission tooth meshes with the drive gear; in the second state, the second transmission tooth meshes with the drive gear.

[0010] In one embodiment, the first transmission tooth and the second transmission tooth are spaced apart along the axial direction of the transmission member;

[0011] The drive gear includes a rotating disk connected to the output end of the drive member and a plurality of teeth. The rotating disk is opposite to and spaced apart from the transmission member. The plurality of teeth protrude from the periphery of the rotating disk facing the transmission member and extend toward the transmission member.

[0012] The rotating disk has a first position and a second position on its periphery. The line connecting the first position and the second position passes through the rotation center of the rotating disk and is parallel to the axial direction of the transmission member. In the first state, the first transmission tooth meshes with the tooth at the first position. In the second state, the second transmission tooth meshes with the tooth at the second position.

[0013] In one embodiment, the length of the line connecting the first position and the second position is not equal to the distance between the first transmission tooth and the second transmission tooth.

[0014] In one embodiment, a connecting shaft protrudes from the side of the rotating disk facing away from the teeth, and a connecting hole is provided on the cavity wall of the mounting cavity corresponding to the connecting shaft. The connecting shaft is rotatably connected to the connecting hole and connected to the output end of the driving component.

[0015] In one embodiment, the transmission component includes a transmission rod and a first transmission wheel and a second transmission wheel sleeved on the outer wall of the transmission rod. The first transmission wheel and the second transmission wheel are spaced apart along the extension direction of the transmission rod, and the diameter of the first transmission wheel is the same as the diameter of the second transmission wheel. The first transmission wheel has a first transmission tooth on its periphery, and the second transmission wheel has a second transmission tooth on its periphery.

[0016] In one embodiment, the number of the first transmission teeth is the same as the number of the second transmission teeth.

[0017] In one embodiment, the pusher includes:

[0018] The pushing body is disposed within the mounting cavity, and the pushing body has a movable cavity corresponding to the rotating hole; and

[0019] A push rod, one end of which is movably inserted into the movable cavity and connected to the push body, and the other end of which is connected to the end of the transmission component away from the outer shell;

[0020] The pushing body drives the pushing rod to move the transmission component along the axial direction of the transmission component.

[0021] In one embodiment, the transmission member has a mounting groove at one end adjacent to the push rod, and the end of the push rod away from the push body is disposed in the mounting groove;

[0022] The mounting groove wall and the push rod are provided with a positioning protrusion, and the other one is provided with a positioning groove. The positioning protrusion is accommodated and confined within the positioning groove.

[0023] In one embodiment, one of the transmission member and the cavity wall of the sliding cavity is provided with a guide protrusion, and the other is provided with a guide groove, wherein the guide protrusion is slidably limited within the guide groove;

[0024] And / or, the base is provided with a rotating groove adjacent to the rotating hole, the rotating hole is opened in the bottom wall of the rotating groove, the outer shell is provided with a rotating shaft, the rotating shaft is rotatably accommodated in the rotating groove and movably abuts against the bottom wall of the rotating groove, the rotating shaft is provided with the sliding cavity, one of the groove wall of the rotating groove and the outer wall of the rotating shaft is provided with a limiting boss, and the other is provided with a limiting groove, the limiting boss is slidably limited in the limiting groove, and the limiting boss or the limiting groove extends along the circumference of the rotating groove and is perpendicular to the axial direction of the rotating shaft;

[0025] And / or, the adjustment mechanism further includes a displacement detection element, which is disposed in the mounting cavity and electrically connected to the pusher. The displacement detection element is used to detect the meshing of the first transmission tooth or the second transmission tooth with the drive gear.

[0026] The present invention also proposes an intelligent device, including a camera and the aforementioned adjustment mechanism, wherein the camera is disposed in the housing of the adjustment mechanism.

[0027] The adjustment mechanism of this invention utilizes a mounting cavity and a rotating hole communicating with the mounting cavity on the base. This mounting cavity allows for the installation and protection of the adjustment component and the drive gear of the driving component. A sliding cavity is provided in the outer shell, which is rotatably connected to the base, ensuring communication between the sliding cavity and the rotating hole. This facilitates the connection of one end of the transmission component of the adjustment component to the pushing component, while the other end of the transmission component passes through the rotating hole and slides within the sliding cavity. The pushing component then drives the transmission component to move axially within the sliding cavity. The transmission component is equipped with spaced first and second transmission teeth, and a drive tooth is provided at the output end of the driving component. The drive gear is located on one side of the transmission component, so that the drive gear meshes with the first transmission tooth or the second transmission tooth, and the plane of rotation of the drive gear is parallel to the axial direction of the transmission component. Thus, the housing has a first state of rotating forward relative to the base and a second state of rotating backward relative to the base. In the first state, the first transmission tooth meshes with the drive gear; in the second state, the second transmission tooth meshes with the drive gear. That is, without changing the transmission direction of the drive gear, the first transmission tooth or the second transmission tooth meshes with the drive gear respectively, thereby realizing the forward or reverse rotation of the housing relative to the base. This can effectively reduce the performance requirements of the drive component. Attached Figure Description

[0047] Smart cameras are becoming increasingly popular, used for remote conferencing, home monitoring, real-time voice chat, and more. In this technology, a smart camera mainly consists of a base, a camera, and an angle adjustment device. However, adjusting the camera's angle typically requires a drive mechanism to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise, meaning the drive mechanism must constantly switch rotation directions. This affects the drive mechanism's lifespan and places higher demands on its performance, leading to increased costs.

[0048] Based on the above concepts and problems, this invention proposes an adjustment mechanism 100. It is understood that the adjustment mechanism 100 is applied to intelligent devices, such as camera devices, electronic monitoring equipment, or video and audio devices, and is not limited thereto.

[0049] Please refer to the reference. Figures 1 to 10 As shown, in this embodiment of the invention, the adjustment mechanism 100 includes a base 1, a housing 2, an adjustment component 3, and a driving component. The base 1 has a mounting cavity 11 and a rotating hole 12 communicating with the mounting cavity 11. The housing 2 has a sliding cavity 22. The housing 2 is rotatably connected to the base 1, and the sliding cavity 22 is correspondingly connected to the rotating hole 12. The adjustment component 3 includes a pushing component 31 and a transmission component 32 disposed in the mounting cavity 11. One end of the transmission component 32 is connected to the pushing component 31, and the other end of the transmission component 32 passes through the rotating hole 12 and slides within the sliding cavity 22. The transmission component 32 has a first transmission tooth 326 and a second transmission tooth 326 spaced apart. The output end of the drive member is provided with a drive gear 4, which is located on one side of the transmission member 32. The drive gear 4 is located in the mounting cavity 11 and meshes with the first transmission gear 326 or the second transmission gear 328. The rotation plane of the drive gear 4 is parallel to the axial direction of the transmission member 32. The pusher 31 pushes the transmission member 32 to move along the axial direction of the transmission member 32, so that the housing 2 has a first state of rotating in the forward direction relative to the base 1 and a second state of rotating in the reverse direction relative to the base 1. In the first state, the first transmission gear 326 meshes with the drive gear 4. In the second state, the second transmission gear 328 meshes with the drive gear 4.

[0050] In this embodiment, the housing 2 of the adjustment mechanism 100 is used to install, fix, or protect the camera, video and audio module, and control circuit of the smart device. In other words, the housing 2 provides a mounting base for the camera, video and audio module, and control circuit of the smart device. It is understood that the housing 2 and the housing structure or mounting structure of the smart device can be an integrated device, or they can be separate components; this is not limited here.

[0051] To facilitate the assembly and disassembly of the outer casing 2 with the housing structure or camera structure of the smart device, in this embodiment, the outer casing 2 adopts a split structure, that is, the outer casing 2 includes a first outer casing and a second outer casing, which together form a mounting cavity and a sliding cavity 22. Optionally, the first outer casing and the second outer casing are fixed together by ultrasonic heat fusion or snap fasteners, which is not limited here.

[0052] Understandably, the base 1 provides a foundation for mounting or rotating the outer shell 2, the adjustment component 3, and the drive component. The base 1 can be a shell, box, enclosure, seat, or bracket structure with a mounting cavity 11. In this embodiment, the mounting cavity 11 of the base 1 is used to mount and protect the adjustment component 3 and the drive component. To enable the outer shell 2 to rotate relative to the base 1, the base 1 is also provided with a rotation hole 12 communicating with the mounting cavity 11. The outer shell 2 is movably connected to the base 1 to facilitate the rotation of the outer shell 2 relative to the base 1.

[0053] To facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the outer casing 2, adjustment component 3, and drive component, in this embodiment, the base 1 adopts a split structure, that is, the base 1 includes a first bottom shell and a second bottom shell, which together form a mounting cavity 11 and a rotating hole 12 communicating with the mounting cavity 11. Optionally, the first bottom shell and the second bottom shell are fixed together by ultrasonic heat fusion or snap fasteners, which is not limited here.

[0054] In this embodiment, by providing a sliding cavity 22 in the outer shell 2, when the outer shell 2 is rotatably connected to the base 1, the sliding cavity 22 is correspondingly connected to the rotation hole 12. This allows one end of the transmission member 32 of the adjustment component 3 to pass through the rotation hole 12 and slide within the sliding cavity 22. It can be understood that the transmission member 32 of the adjustment component 3 can drive the outer shell 2 to rotate relative to the base 1, that is, the outer shell 2 rotates around the axial direction of the transmission member 32 or the axial direction of the rotation hole 12.

[0055] Optionally, the outer casing 2 can rotate 360° around the axial direction of the transmission member 32 or the axial direction of the rotating hole 12. In this embodiment, the outer casing 2 can rotate forward or in the opposite direction relative to the base 1. Optionally, the angle of forward rotation of the outer casing 2 relative to the base 1 is 0° to 180°, and the angle of reverse rotation of the outer casing 2 relative to the base 1 is 0° to 180°. By applying the adjustment mechanism 100 to the smart device, the smart device can achieve 360° rotation to capture dynamic users in real time.

[0056] In this embodiment, the outer shell 2 has a first state of rotating forward relative to the base 1 and a second state of rotating backward relative to the base 1. By providing a pusher 31 and a drive member, the pusher 31 is disposed within the mounting cavity 11 and connected to the end of the transmission member 32 away from the outer shell 2. A drive gear 4 is provided at the output end of the drive member, and the transmission member 32 has a first transmission tooth 326 and a second transmission tooth 328 spaced apart. The pusher 31 pushes the transmission member 32 to move along the axial direction of the transmission member 32, causing the drive gear 4 to mesh with either the first transmission tooth 326 or the second transmission tooth 328. That is, in the first state, the first transmission tooth 326 meshes with the drive gear 4; in the second state, the second transmission tooth 328 meshes with the drive gear 4. Thus, when the pusher 31 pushes the transmission member 32 to move along the sliding cavity 22, the first transmission tooth 326 or the second transmission tooth 328 of the transmission member 32 engages with the drive gear 4 to achieve forward or reverse rotation of the outer shell 2.

[0057] Understandably, the direction of rotation of the drive gear 4 driven by the drive component is as follows: Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in the first state, the first transmission gear 326 meshes with the drive gear 4. At this time, the first transmission gear 326 drives the transmission component 32 to rotate counterclockwise, realizing the forward rotation of the outer shell 2 relative to the base 1. Figure 4 As shown; in the second state, the second transmission gear 328 meshes with the drive gear 4. At this time, the second transmission gear 328 drives the transmission component 32 to rotate clockwise, realizing the outer shell 2 rotating in the opposite direction relative to the base 1, as shown. Figure 5 As shown.

[0058] Understandably, by pushing the transmission member 32 along the sliding cavity 22 through the pusher 31, the first transmission tooth 326 or the second transmission tooth 328 meshes with the drive gear 4 at different rotational positions. Thus, without changing the transmission direction of the drive gear 4, the first transmission tooth 326 or the second transmission tooth 328 meshes with the drive gear 4 respectively, thereby realizing the forward or reverse rotation of the outer shell 2 relative to the base 1. This can effectively reduce the performance requirements of the drive member and effectively save the cost of the adjustment mechanism 100.

[0059] It should be noted that the pusher 31 drives the transmission component 32 to reciprocate along the sliding cavity 22. The pusher 31 can drive a cylinder, a telescopic rod, or other structures capable of reciprocating movement, and is not limited here. Understandably, the pusher 31 has a much lower precision, cost, and structure compared to the drive component, and is easy to implement and install. Compared to the traditional method of switching the rotation direction in real time through a drive mechanism, it effectively reduces the performance requirements of the drive component.

[0060] The adjustment mechanism 100 of the present invention uses a mounting cavity 11 and a rotating hole 12 communicating with the mounting cavity 11 on the base 1 to install and protect the adjustment component 3 and the drive gear 4 of the drive component. A sliding cavity 22 is provided in the outer shell 2, and the outer shell 2 is rotatably connected to the base 1, so that the sliding cavity 22 communicates with the rotating hole 12. This facilitates the connection of one end of the transmission component 32 of the adjustment component 3 to the pusher 31, and the other end of the transmission component 32 passes through the rotating hole 12 and slides within the sliding cavity 22. The pusher 31 then pushes the transmission component 32 to move along the axial direction of the transmission component 32 to slide within the sliding cavity 12. The transmission component 32 is provided with spaced first transmission teeth. The first transmission gear 326 and the second transmission gear 328 are provided at the output end of the drive component, and the drive gear 4 is provided so that the drive gear 4 meshes with the first transmission gear 326 or the second transmission gear 328. Thus, the outer shell 2 has a first state of rotating forward relative to the base 1 and a second state of rotating backward relative to the base 1. In the first state, the first transmission gear 326 meshes with the drive gear 4. In the second state, the second transmission gear 328 meshes with the drive gear 4. That is, without changing the transmission direction of the drive gear 4, the first transmission gear 326 or the second transmission gear 328 respectively meshes with the drive gear 4, thereby realizing the forward or reverse rotation of the outer shell 2 relative to the base 1. This can effectively reduce the performance requirements of the drive component.

[0061] In one embodiment, the first transmission tooth 326 and the second transmission tooth 328 are spaced apart along the axial direction of the transmission member 32; the driving gear 4 includes a rotating disk 41 connected to the output end of the drive member and a plurality of teeth 42. The rotating disk 41 is opposite to and spaced apart from the transmission member 32. The plurality of teeth 42 protrude from the periphery of the rotating disk 41 facing the transmission member 32 and extend toward the transmission member 32; wherein, the periphery of the rotating disk 41 has a first position 44 and a second position 45, the line connecting the first position 44 and the second position 45 passes through the rotation center of the rotating disk 41 and is parallel to the axial direction of the transmission member 32; in a first state, the first transmission tooth 326 meshes with the tooth 42 at the first position 44; in a second state, the second transmission tooth 328 meshes with the tooth 42 at the second position 45.

[0062] In this embodiment, as Figures 3 to 5 , Figure 10 As shown, by positioning the rotating disk 41 of the drive gear 4 opposite to the transmission member 32, and with the plane of the rotating disk 41 parallel to the axial direction of the transmission member 32, i.e., the drive gear 4 is vertically arranged, the multiple teeth 42 of the rotating disk 41 are arranged along the periphery of the rotating disk 41 and extend toward the transmission member 32.

[0063] Understandably, the periphery of the rotating disk 41 has a first position 44 and a second position 45, and the line connecting the first position 44 and the second position 45 passes through the rotation center of the rotating disk 41 and is parallel to the axial direction of the transmission member 32. This ensures that the teeth 42 at the first position 44 or the second position 45 of the rotating disk 41 mesh with the first transmission tooth 326 or the second transmission tooth 328. Thus, when the rotating disk 41 of the drive member drives the drive gear 4 to rotate and drive multiple teeth 42 to rotate, the first transmission tooth 326 or the second transmission tooth 328 meshes with the teeth 42 of the drive gear 4, thereby driving the transmission member 32 and the outer casing 2 to rotate.

[0064] It should be noted that the first position 44 and the second position 45 are spaced apart along the axial direction of the transmission component 32, and are located in the area corresponding to two fixed positions in the physical space when the rotating disk 41 rotates, rather than two fixed areas on the rotating disk 41.

[0065] In this embodiment, the moving direction of the tooth 42 at the first position 44 of the rotating disk 41 is opposite to the moving direction of the tooth 42 at the second position 45, that is, as shown... Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the tooth 42 at the first position 44 moves inward, and the tooth 42 at the second position 45 moves outward. This makes the rotation direction of the transmission component 32 and the outer shell 2 when the first transmission tooth 326 meshes with the tooth 42 at the first position 44 opposite to the rotation direction of the transmission component 32 and the outer shell 2 when the second transmission tooth 328 meshes with the tooth 42 at the second position 45, thereby realizing the switching between forward and directional rotation of the outer shell 2.

[0066] It is understandable that the tooth 42 at the first position 44 and the tooth 42 at the second position 45 are located in the same diameter direction of the rotating disk 41, that is, the line connecting the first position 44 and the second position 45 is parallel to the axial direction of the transmission component 32.

[0067] To avoid interference between the second transmission tooth 328 and the driving gear 4 when the first transmission tooth 326 meshes with the tooth 42 at the first position 44; or, to avoid interference between the first transmission tooth 326 and the driving gear 4 when the second transmission tooth 328 meshes with the tooth 42 at the second position 45. In this embodiment, as... Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the length of the line connecting the first position 44 and the second position 45 is not equal to the distance between the first transmission tooth 326 and the second transmission tooth 328.

[0068] Optionally, the length of the line connecting the first position 44 and the second position 45 is greater than the distance between the first transmission tooth 326 and the second transmission tooth 328. Of course, the length of the line connecting the first position 44 and the second position 45 may also be less than the distance between the first transmission tooth 326 and the second transmission tooth 328.

[0069] Understandably, the diameter of the rotating disk 41 of the driving gear 4 is greater than the distance between the first transmission tooth 326 and the second transmission tooth 328. However, in other embodiments, the diameter of the rotating disk 41 of the driving gear 4 is smaller than the distance between the first transmission tooth 326 and the second transmission tooth 328. That is, the diameter of the rotating disk 41 of the driving gear 4 is not the same as the distance between the first transmission tooth 326 and the second transmission tooth 328.

[0070] It should be noted that when the diameter of the rotating disk 41 of the driving gear 4 is greater than the distance between the first transmission tooth 326 and the second transmission tooth 328, when the first transmission tooth 326 meshes with the tooth 42 at the first position 44, the second transmission tooth 328 is located within the clearance groove space formed by the rotating disk 41 and the tooth 42, and the second transmission tooth 328 does not abut or interfere with the rotating disk 41 and the tooth 42. Similarly, when the second transmission tooth 328 meshes with the tooth 42 at the second position 45, the first transmission tooth 326 is located within the clearance groove space formed by the rotating disk 41 and the tooth 42, and the first transmission tooth 326 does not abut or interfere with the rotating disk 41 and the tooth 42.

[0071] In one embodiment, a connecting shaft 43 protrudes from the side of the rotating disk 41 facing away from the teeth 42. The cavity wall of the mounting cavity 11 is provided with a connecting hole 13 corresponding to the connecting shaft 43. The connecting shaft 43 is rotatably connected in the connecting hole 13 and connected to the output end of the drive component.

[0072] In this embodiment, as Figures 2 to 6 , Figure 10 As shown, by providing a connecting shaft 43 on the drive gear 4, it is convenient to connect the connecting shaft 43 to the drive component; on the other hand, by providing a connecting hole 13 on the cavity wall of the mounting cavity 11 corresponding to the connecting shaft 43, the connecting shaft 43 is rotatably connected in the connecting hole 13, thereby providing a fixed foundation for the installation of the drive gear 4.

[0073] In one embodiment, the transmission member 32 includes a transmission rod 321 and a first transmission wheel 325 and a second transmission wheel 327 sleeved on the outer wall of the transmission rod 321. The first transmission wheel 325 and the second transmission wheel 327 are spaced apart along the extension direction of the transmission rod 321, and the diameter of the first transmission wheel 325 is the same as the diameter of the second transmission wheel 327. The periphery of the first transmission wheel 325 is provided with a first transmission tooth 326, and the periphery of the second transmission wheel 327 is provided with a second transmission tooth 328.

[0074] In this embodiment, as Figures 2 to 5 , Figure 9As shown, the transmission rod 321 of the transmission component 32 can be a rod-shaped or cylindrical structure, and the first transmission wheel 325 and the second transmission wheel 327 can be a gear disk structure. In order to control the speed of the housing 2 rotating in the forward or reverse direction, the diameter of the first transmission wheel 325 can optionally be the same as the diameter of the second transmission wheel 327.

[0075] Understandably, the first transmission tooth 326 is a tooth disposed around the periphery of the first transmission wheel 325. Multiple first transmission teeth 326 are arranged along the circumferential direction of the periphery of the first transmission wheel 325. The second transmission tooth 328 is a tooth disposed around the periphery of the second transmission wheel 327. Multiple second transmission teeth 328 are arranged along the circumferential direction of the periphery of the second transmission wheel 327.

[0076] To further precisely control the speed of the housing 2's forward or reverse rotation, optionally, the number of first transmission teeth 326 is the same as the number of second transmission teeth 328. Of course, the size and shape of the first transmission teeth 326 are the same as the size and shape of the second transmission teeth 328.

[0077] In one embodiment, the pusher 31 includes a pusher body 311 and a pusher rod 313. The pusher body 311 is disposed in the mounting cavity 11. The pusher body 311 has a movable cavity 312 corresponding to the rotating hole 12. One end of the pusher rod 313 is movably inserted into the movable cavity 312 and connected to the pusher body 311. The other end of the pusher rod 313 is connected to the end of the transmission member 32 away from the outer shell 2. The pusher body 311 drives the pusher rod 313 to move the transmission member 32 along the axial direction of the transmission member 32.

[0078] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 8 As shown, the pushing member 31 is a structure or device capable of driving the transmission member 32 to move along its axial direction, such as a drive cylinder, lifting motor, or telescopic rod structure, or other structures or devices capable of driving the transmission member 32 to move along its axial direction, which are not limited here. It is understood that, in order to achieve the limiting and positioning installation of the pushing body 311, in this embodiment, as... Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, a fixing groove 15 is provided on the bottom wall of the mounting cavity 11 of the bottom shell 1, and part of the pushing body 311 is accommodated and confined within the fixing groove 15.

[0079] Understandably, by setting the pusher 31 as a pusher body 311 and a pusher rod 313, and placing the pusher body 311 in the mounting cavity 11, the movable cavity 312 and the rotating hole 12 are arranged coaxially, thereby enabling the transmission member 32 to slide along the sliding cavity 22 of the outer shell 2, and at the same time, the transmission member 32 can drive the outer shell 2 to rotate around its axial direction.

[0080] In one embodiment, the transmission member 32 is provided with a mounting groove 322 at one end near the push rod 313, and the end of the push rod 313 away from the push body 311 is provided in the mounting groove 322; one of the groove wall of the mounting groove 322 and the push rod 313 is provided with a positioning protrusion 323, and the other is provided with a positioning groove 314, and the positioning protrusion 323 is accommodated and confined in the positioning groove 314.

[0081] In this embodiment, as Figures 2 to 5 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, by providing a mounting groove 322 in the transmission rod 321 of the transmission member 32, the mounting groove 322 and the push rod 313 are used to achieve limited installation and fixation. It can be understood that, in order to enable the transmission member 32 to rotate under the drive of the drive gear 4, the end of the push rod 313 away from the transmission member 32 is movably inserted into the movable cavity 312. Optionally, the push rod 313 is rotatably connected to the cavity wall of the movable cavity 312.

[0082] In order to further limit the installation of the transmission rod 321 and the push rod 313 of the transmission component 32, one of the groove wall of the mounting groove 322 and the push rod 313 is provided with a positioning protrusion 323, and the other is provided with a positioning groove 314. The positioning protrusion 323 is accommodated and confined within the positioning groove 314. It is understandable that the mounting groove 322 has a positioning protrusion 323 on its groove wall and a positioning groove 314 on its outer wall; or, the mounting groove 322 has a positioning groove 314 on its groove wall and a positioning protrusion 323 on its outer wall; or, the mounting groove 322 has a positioning protrusion 323 and a positioning groove 314 on its groove wall and a positioning groove 314 and a positioning protrusion 323 on its outer wall. In this case, the positioning protrusion 323 of the mounting groove 322 corresponds to the positioning groove 314 of the pushing rod 313, and the positioning groove 314 of the mounting groove 322 corresponds to the positioning protrusion 323 of the pushing rod 313. This is not limited here.

[0083] Optionally, the positioning protrusions 323 include multiple protrusions, which are spaced apart along the periphery of the side wall of the mounting groove 322, and the positioning grooves 314 correspond one-to-one with the positioning protrusions 323. In this embodiment, the guide groove 324 extends along the outer wall of the transmission rod 321.

[0084] In one embodiment, one of the transmission member 32 and the cavity wall of the sliding cavity 22 is provided with a guide protrusion 23, and the other is provided with a guide groove 324. The guide protrusion 23 is slidably limited within the guide groove 324. It can be understood that this arrangement enables the transmission member 32 to slide within the sliding cavity 22 along its axial direction and also drive the outer shell 2 to rotate around its axial direction.

[0085] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the transmission component 32 is provided with a guide protrusion 23, and the cavity wall of the sliding cavity 22 is provided with a guide groove 324; or, the transmission component 32 is provided with a guide groove 324, and the cavity wall of the sliding cavity 22 is provided with a guide protrusion 23; or, the transmission component 32 is provided with a guide groove 324 and a guide protrusion 23, and the cavity wall of the sliding cavity 22 is provided with a guide protrusion 23 and a guide groove 324, etc., which are not limited here.

[0086] Optionally, the distance from the end of the transmission rod 321 away from the pusher 31 to the second transmission wheel 327 is greater than the length of the sliding cavity 22. In this embodiment, the length of the sliding cavity 22 is greater than the maximum pushing stroke of the pusher 31. Optionally, the sum of the maximum pushing stroke of the pusher 31 and the distance between the first transmission wheel 325 and the second transmission wheel 327 is equal to the diameter of the rotating disk 41.

[0087] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the base 1 has a rotating groove 14 near the rotating hole 12. The rotating hole 12 is opened on the bottom wall of the rotating groove 14. The outer shell 2 has a rotating shaft 21 protruding from it. The rotating shaft 21 is rotatably accommodated in the rotating groove 14 and moves against the bottom wall of the rotating groove 14. The rotating shaft 21 has a sliding cavity 22. One of the groove wall of the rotating groove 14 and the outer wall of the rotating shaft 21 has a limiting boss, and the other has a limiting groove. The limiting boss is slidably limited in the limiting groove, and the limiting boss or the limiting groove extends along the circumference of the rotating groove 14 and is perpendicular to the axial direction of the rotating shaft 21.

[0088] In this embodiment, a rotating groove 14 is provided on the base 1, and a rotating shaft 21 protrudes from the outer shell 2, thereby facilitating the rotational connection between the outer shell 2 and the base 1 via the rotating shaft 21 and the rotating groove 14. It is understood that, to prevent the outer shell 2 from moving along the axial direction of the transmission component 32 when the pushing component 31 drives the transmission component 32 to move along its axial direction, a limiting boss is provided on one of the groove wall of the rotating groove 14 and the outer wall of the rotating shaft 21, and a limiting groove is provided on the other. This allows the limiting boss to slide within the limiting groove, and the limiting boss or limiting groove extends circumferentially along the rotating groove 14 and is perpendicular to the axial direction of the rotating shaft 21. Thus, the limiting boss and the limiting groove cooperate to limit the rotation of the rotating shaft 21 of the outer shell 2 in the axial direction and allow it to rotate in the circumferential direction.

[0089] In one embodiment, the adjustment mechanism 100 further includes a displacement detection element, which is disposed in the mounting cavity 11 and electrically connected to the pusher 31. The displacement detection element is used to detect the meshing of the first transmission tooth 326 or the second transmission tooth 328 with the drive gear 4.

[0090] In this embodiment, the adjustment mechanism 100 further includes a controller or control device, which controls the working state of the pusher 31 and drive member of the adjustment assembly 3. It is understood that by setting a displacement detection element, the meshing status of the first transmission gear 326 or the second transmission gear 328 with the drive gear 4 is detected, allowing the displacement detection element to feed back the detection signal to the controller or control device. This facilitates more accurate or precise control of the working state of the pusher 31 and drive member of the adjustment assembly 3 by the controller or control device of the adjustment mechanism 100.

[0091] The present invention also proposes an intelligent device, which includes a camera and the aforementioned adjustment mechanism 100, with the camera disposed on the housing 2 of the adjustment mechanism 100.
