Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of camera technology, and more specifically to a camera connection structure. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, cameras are widely used in electronic products. With the continuous development of cameras used in electronic products, many different sizes of cameras have emerged. In order to adapt to cameras of different sizes, a camera connection structure that can be compatible with multiple sizes of cameras is needed.

[0003] Existing camera connection structures compatible with multiple camera sizes require different brackets to accommodate cameras of varying sizes. Different brackets are manufactured by replacing replaceable inserts on the bracket manufacturing mold. These different replaceable inserts correspond to different camera sizes. This method of replacing inserts is costly because the bracket manufacturing mold structure is complex, and frequent insert replacements reduce the mold's lifespan, thus increasing production costs.

[0004] In conclusion, there is an urgent need for a camera connection structure that does not require replacing the bracket and is compatible with cameras of multiple sizes. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention provides a camera connection structure to solve the problem that existing camera connection structures that are compatible with multiple camera sizes require different brackets to be replaced in order to adapt to cameras of different sizes.

[0006] In a first aspect, this application provides a camera connection structure, the connection structure comprising: a bracket and a connecting steel plate;

[0007] The bracket includes a camera mounting position, which is designed based on the largest camera among a variety of camera sizes;

[0008] The connecting steel plate includes a camera positioning structure; the camera positioning structure has at least two ribs, which define the installation position of the camera; the size of the camera is any one of the various sizes;

[0009] The camera is located in the camera positioning structure, and the camera positioning structure is located in the camera assembly position.

[0010] The above design allows for the adaptation of cameras of different sizes by changing the camera positioning structure of the connecting steel plate. It eliminates the need to change the bracket positioning structure of the bracket to adapt to cameras of different sizes. In other words, different brackets do not need to be replaced when installing cameras of different sizes, which can significantly save production costs.

[0011] In one possible design, the camera positioning structure also has a support structure;

[0012] The support structure is located at the bottom of the camera positioning structure and is in contact with the camera assembly position. The support structure is used to support the camera positioning structure.

[0013] In one possible design, the support structure is designed according to the size of the camera.

[0014] With the above design, when the depth of the camera mounting position does not match the height of the camera, the camera positioning structure that supports the connecting steel plate is supported by the supporting structure of the connecting steel plate, which is equivalent to reducing the depth of the camera mounting position, so that the depth of the camera mounting position can also match the height of cameras of other sizes except the largest size.

[0015] In one possible design, the bracket includes at least one limiting post, and the connecting steel plate includes at least one limiting hole;

[0016] The at least one limiting post of the bracket is matched with the at least one limiting hole of the connecting steel plate.

[0017] With the above design, the installation structure between the bracket and the connecting steel plate is simple. One bracket can be used to install different connecting steel plates. The different connecting steel plates have the same structure for installation with the bracket. Only the camera positioning structure for installing the camera is different. This saves the cost of producing different brackets and also reduces the cost of producing different connecting steel plates.

[0018] In one possible design, when the camera is mounted on the camera positioning structure, the camera is grounded through the connecting steel plate.

[0019] With the above design, the camera can be directly grounded after being installed on the connecting steel plate.

[0020] In one possible design, the camera positioning structure has four ribs.

[0021] In one possible design, the depth of the camera mounting location is designed based on the largest camera.

[0022] Secondly, this application provides an electronic device that includes a camera connection structure.

[0023] The technical effects of the device in the second aspect can be seen in the technical effects of the different implementation methods in the first aspect, and will not be repeated here. Attached Figure Description

[0030] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0031] The application scenarios described in the embodiments of this invention are for the purpose of more clearly illustrating the technical solutions of the embodiments of this invention, and do not constitute a limitation on the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of this invention. Those skilled in the art will understand that with the emergence of new application scenarios, the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of this invention are also applicable to similar technical problems. In the description of this invention, unless otherwise stated, "multiple" means two or more.

[0032] This invention provides a camera connection structure to solve the problem that existing camera connection structures that are compatible with multiple camera sizes require different brackets to be replaced in order to adapt to cameras of different sizes.

[0033] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of an existing camera connection structure is shown.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, the connection structure 100 includes a bracket 200 and a connecting steel plate 300; the camera 400 is mounted on the bracket 200 through the connecting steel plate 300.

[0035] The bracket 200 includes a camera mounting position 210, and the connecting steel plate 300 includes a camera mounting area. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the connecting steel plate 300 is mounted on the bracket 200, and the camera mounting part of the connecting steel plate 300 is located at the camera assembly position 210 of the bracket 200.

[0036] The camera 400 is mounted on the bracket 200 via a connecting steel plate 300. Specifically, the camera 400 is located at the camera mounting position of the connecting steel plate 300, which is located at the camera assembly position 210 of the bracket 200. Therefore, the camera 400 is mounted at the camera assembly position 210 of the bracket 200.

[0037] Figure 2 A schematic diagram of an existing connecting steel sheet is shown.

[0038] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 It can be seen that there are four bracket positioning structures 220 at the four corners of the camera mounting position 210 of the bracket 200, while there is no positioning structure on the camera mounting part of the connecting steel plate 300. The camera 400 is installed at the camera mounting part of the connecting steel plate 300. The connecting steel plate 300 cannot limit the position of the camera 400. Since there are four bracket positioning structures 220 at the four corners of the camera mounting position 210 of the bracket 200, the camera 400 is installed at the camera mounting part of the connecting steel plate 300 and then at the camera mounting position 210 of the bracket 200. The bracket positioning structures 220 of the bracket 200 can limit the installation position of the camera 400.

[0039] This existing camera connection structure requires different connecting steel plates to accommodate cameras 400 of different sizes. Furthermore, due to the varying dimensions of the cameras 400, the size and relative position of the bracket positioning structure 220 of the bracket 200 also need to differ when installing cameras of different sizes. In other words, to accommodate cameras 400 of different sizes, the existing camera connection structure requires not only replacing the connecting steel plates 300 but also replacing the bracket 200.

[0040] The existing camera connection structure requires different brackets to be replaced when installing cameras of different sizes. This is achieved by replacing the bracket production mold with replaceable inserts. Using this method to produce different brackets to fit different camera sizes not only increases production costs, but also reduces the lifespan of the bracket production mold due to frequent replacement of the bracket production mold inserts.

[0041] In a camera connection structure provided in this application, only one type of bracket 200 is needed to install cameras 400 of different sizes. The bracket 200 can be used to install different connecting steel plates 300.

[0042] The only difference between the different connecting steel plates 300 provided in this application is the camera positioning structure 310. Through the different camera positioning structures 310, different connecting steel plates 300 can install and limit cameras 400 of different sizes, thereby realizing the installation of cameras 400 of different sizes with the same bracket 200.

[0043] Figure 3 This illustration shows a schematic diagram of a camera positioning structure provided in this application located at the camera assembly position.

[0044] like Figure 3 As shown, the connecting steel plate 300 includes a camera positioning structure 310. When the camera 400 is installed in the camera positioning structure 310 of the connecting steel plate 300, the camera positioning structure 310 can be used to limit the installation position of the camera 400. Different sizes of cameras 400 correspond to different camera positioning structures 310 to limit the position of cameras 400 of different sizes.

[0045] The camera positioning structure 310 connecting the steel plate 300 has at least two ribs, which define the installation position of the camera. Different camera positioning structures 310 have different relative positions of the at least two ribs to form different defining spaces, which define the installation position of cameras 400 of different sizes, thereby achieving stable installation of the connecting steel plate 300 and the camera 400.

[0046] For example, Figure 4 A schematic diagram of a connecting steel sheet provided in this application is shown.

[0047] like Figure 4 The connecting steel plate 300 shown has four ribs 330 that together form a rectangular space, with the four ribs 330 located at the four corners of the rectangular space. The rectangular space enclosed by the ribs 330 is used to mount the camera 400, thus defining the mounting position of the camera 400. Different sizes of cameras 400 require different mounting spaces when connected to the connecting steel plate 300, meaning the requirements for the rectangular space enclosed by the ribs 330 of the connecting steel plate 300 differ. Therefore, when different connecting steel plates 300 are used to mount cameras 400 of different sizes, the camera positioning structure 310 only needs to be changed according to the size of the camera 400. For example, by changing the position of the ribs 330 of the camera positioning structure 310, a rectangular space that can accommodate the camera 400 can be formed, thereby defining the mounting position of the camera 400.

[0048] This design allows for the adaptation of cameras of different sizes by changing the camera positioning structure 310 of the connecting steel plate 300. Specifically, the installation position of cameras 400 of different sizes can be limited by changing the position of the rib plate 330 of the camera positioning structure 310, without having to change the bracket positioning structure 220 of the bracket 200 to limit the installation position of cameras 400 of different sizes. In other words, different brackets 200 do not need to be replaced when installing cameras 400 of different sizes, which can save production costs.

[0049] like Figure 4 The camera positioning structure 310 connecting the steel plate 300 also includes a support structure 340, which is designed according to the size of the camera 400. The support structure 340 is located at the bottom of the camera positioning structure and contacts the camera mounting position 210, serving to support the camera positioning structure 310. When the camera 400 is mounted on the camera positioning structure 310, the camera positioning structure 310 is located at the camera mounting position 210 of the bracket 200, and the support structure 340 supports the camera positioning structure 310, ensuring that the lenses of cameras 400 of different sizes are at their respective required heights.

[0050] like Figure 3 As shown, when the connecting steel plate 300 is installed on the bracket 200, the camera positioning structure 310 of the connecting steel plate 300 is located at the camera assembly position 210 of the bracket 200.

[0051] The connecting steel plate 300 has a supporting structure 340. The camera mounting position 210 of the bracket 200 is designed based on the largest camera 400. The depth of the camera mounting position is designed based on the height of the largest camera 400. Smaller cameras are also smaller in height. Therefore, the depth of the camera mounting position 210 may not match the height of the smaller camera. The supporting structure 340 of the connecting steel plate 300 can support the camera positioning structure 310 of the connecting steel plate 300, which is equivalent to increasing the lens height of the camera 400. The supporting structure 340 can be designed according to the height of different sizes of cameras 400 and the required height of their lenses, so that different sizes of cameras 400 can achieve their respective required lens heights when installed on the same bracket 200. For example, the lens height of different sizes of cameras 400 installed on the same bracket 200 must reach the height of the sealing sleeve of the bracket's rear shell. When the height of the sealing sleeve of the bracket's rear shell is constant, different sizes of cameras 400 can achieve the same lens height as the sealing sleeve of the bracket's rear shell through the different support heights provided by the supporting structure 340.

[0052] In the camera connection structure provided in this application, a bracket 200 can mount cameras 400 of different sizes by installing different connecting steel plates 300. The camera mounting position 210 of the bracket 200 is designed based on the largest size camera among the different sizes of the cameras 400.

[0053] At this time, since the camera mounting position 210 of the bracket 200 is designed according to the installation space of the largest camera 400, and since different connecting steel plates 300 are used to install cameras 400 of different sizes, the different installation spaces enclosed by the ribs 330 of the different connecting steel plates 300 are definitely smaller than the space reserved in the camera mounting position of the bracket 200. Therefore, when installing cameras 400 of different sizes, there is no need to consider the problem of insufficient space in the camera mounting position 210.

[0054] The camera positioning structure 310 connecting the steel plate 300 is designed based on the camera assembly position 210 of the bracket 200 and the size of the camera 400. Therefore, the rib plate 330 and the support structure 340 of the positioning structure 310 can be designed or eliminated according to actual needs.

[0055] For example, when the bracket 200 is connected to the largest camera 400 via the connecting steel plate 300, since the camera mounting position 210 of the bracket 200 is designed based on the largest camera 400, and there are four bracket positioning structures 220 at the four corners of the camera mounting position 210 of the bracket 200, the installation position of the largest camera 400 can be defined. At this time, the camera positioning structure 310 of the connecting steel plate 300 does not need to be designed. Furthermore, since the depth of the camera mounting position 210 is designed based on the largest camera, the camera positioning structure 310 of the connecting steel plate 300 also does not need to be designed with a support structure.

[0056] For example, when the bracket 200 is connected to cameras 400 of various sizes other than the largest size via different connecting steel plates 300, since the camera mounting position 210 of the bracket 200 is designed based on the largest size camera 400, the installation space required for the other cameras 400 is less than that of the camera mounting position 200. That is, the four bracket positioning structures 220 located at the camera mounting position 210 cannot limit the installation of the other cameras 400. At this time, the connecting steel plate 300 for mounting the camera 400 has four ribs 330. The connecting steel plate 300 and the bracket 200 are installed through the cooperation of the limiting hole 320 and the limiting post 230. The camera 400 is installed within the rectangular space enclosed by the four ribs 330 of the connecting steel plate 300. At this time, the four ribs can limit the installation position of the camera 400. The depth of the camera mounting position 210 is designed based on the largest size camera. When installing other cameras 400 besides the largest size, the support height of the support structure needs to be designed according to the height of the camera 400 so that the lenses of different cameras 400 can reach the required height.

[0057] With this design, when the camera mounting position 210 of the bracket 200 meets the installation space for the largest camera 400, the camera mounting position 210 of the bracket 200 can also meet the installation space for cameras 400 of other sizes. When different connecting steel plates 300 are connected to the same type of bracket 200, the camera positioning structure 310 of the connecting steel plate 300 is located at the camera mounting position 210 of the bracket 200. The different installation spaces enclosed by the ribs 330 of the different connecting steel plates 300 are definitely smaller than those enclosed by the camera mounting position of the bracket 200. The different installation spaces enclosed by the ribs 330 of the different connecting steel plates 300 can limit the installation position of cameras 400 of different sizes. Therefore, smaller cameras 400 can also be stably installed within the camera mounting position of the bracket 200.

[0058] Existing camera connection structures require different brackets to accommodate cameras of different sizes, increasing production costs. This application provides a camera connection structure where the same bracket can accommodate cameras of different sizes by installing different connecting steel plates. The camera mounting position of the bracket is designed based on the largest camera size, and the camera positioning structure of the connecting steel plate is located at the camera mounting position, eliminating concerns about insufficient space. Different connecting steel plates have different camera positioning structures, which can be used to define the installation position of cameras of different sizes. Using this design, one bracket can be used to install different connecting steel plates; the only difference between the different connecting steel plates is the camera positioning structure used for connecting to the camera. This saves on the cost of producing different brackets and reduces the cost of producing different connecting steel plates.

[0059] Figure 5 A schematic diagram of a camera connection structure provided in this application is shown.

[0060] like Figure 5 As shown, the connection structure 100 includes a bracket 200 and a connecting steel plate 300; the camera 400 is mounted on the bracket 200 through the connecting steel plate 300.

[0061] like Figure 5 As shown, the bracket 200 has at least one limiting post 230, and the connecting steel plate 300 has at least one limiting hole 320. Since the only difference between the different connecting steel plates 300 is the camera positioning structure 310, the position of at least one limiting hole 320 on each connecting steel plate 300 is fixed. Therefore, at least one limiting hole 320 on each connecting steel plate 300 can cooperate with at least one limiting post 230 on the bracket 200. The cooperation of at least one limiting post 230 with at least one limiting hole 320 enables the installation of different connecting steel plates 300 with the same bracket 200. Specifically, as shown... Figure 5 As shown, the connecting steel plate 300 is mounted on the bracket 200.

[0062] With this design, the installation structure between the bracket and the connecting steel plate is simple. One bracket can be used to install different connecting steel plates. The different connecting steel plates have the same structure for installation with the bracket. Only the camera positioning structure for connecting with the camera is different. This saves the cost of producing different brackets and also reduces the cost of producing different connecting steel plates.

[0063] like Figure 5 As shown, the camera 400 is mounted on the bracket 200 via a connecting steel plate 300. The connecting steel plate 300 serves not only for mounting the camera 400 but also for grounding. With this design, the camera can be directly grounded via the connecting steel plate after mounting.

[0064] The above are merely specific embodiments of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope of the claims.
