[0048] The realization, functional features and advantages of the object of the present invention will be further described in conjunction with the embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings. Specific embodiments

[0049] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0050] It should be noted that if there are directional indications involved in the embodiments of the present invention, the directional indications are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement conditions between the components in a certain specific posture. If the specific posture changes, the directional indications will also change accordingly.

[0051] In addition, if there are descriptions involving "first", "second", etc. in the embodiments of the present invention, the descriptions of "first", "second", etc. are only for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly indicating the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, the features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the fact that those of ordinary skill in the art can implement it. When the combination of technical solutions appears to be contradictory or unable to be implemented, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present invention.

[0052] Currently, the side door panels of cars on the market are not completely vertical, and the surfaces exposed by the doors are generally curved. Depending on the exterior design of different vehicle models, the surfaces of the doors have varying degrees of concavity and convexity. Therefore, after the vehicle camera is installed, it may be affected by the shape of the door, and the entire bullhead frame is also inclined.

[0053] At this time, since the shooting rod itself needs to be inserted and cooperated with the ground to provide support, it cannot be placed vertically. This results in the initial position of the shooting camera being inclined. At this time, not only the initial shooting level is affected, but also when the shooting rod makes a pitching motion, since the movement trajectory of the entire shooting rod is parabolic when it swings, there will be movement jamming when sliding on the inclined bullhead frame, affecting the use effect.

[0054] In view of this, to ensure the verticality of the support rod and smooth swinging, the problem of leveling the bullhead frame must be solved. The present invention provides a support structure and a vehicle camera device with a horizontal adjustment function. Figures 1 to 7 This is an embodiment of the vehicle camera device provided by the present invention.

[0055] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , the support structure 1 with a horizontal adjustment function includes a support base 11, a mounting frame 12, and a horizontal adjustment component. The support base 11 extends horizontally and is used for detachably mounting to the side door of the vehicle body. The mounting frame 12 is located on one side of the support base 11 in the longitudinal direction. The side of the mounting frame 12 away from the support base 11 can swing up and down. The mounting frame 12 is used for the movable mounting of the mounting rod 21 for mounting the shooting camera. The horizontal adjustment component is provided between the support base 11 and the mounting frame 12. The horizontal adjustment component includes an adjustment block 131 that can move up and down. The adjustment block 131 has an abutting inclined surface 131a that extends downward from top to bottom towards the mounting frame 12. The abutting inclined surface 131a always abuts against the mounting frame 12 during the movement stroke of the adjustment block 131 to adjust the angle between the mounting frame 12 and the support base 11.

[0056] In the technical solution of the present invention, the support seat 11 is used to be installed on the side door of the vehicle body, and the mounting frame 12 is arranged on the side of the support seat 11 away from the vehicle body door. Initially, the adjustment block 131 is placed between the support seat 11 and the mounting frame 12, and the lower front side of the mounting frame 12 abuts against the adjustment block 131. According to the actual inclination angle of the mounting frame 12, the adjustment block 131 is driven to move up and down. Due to the setting of the abutting inclined surface 131a, it not only plays a role in supporting the mounting frame 12, but also in the movable stroke of the adjustment block 131, the abutting position of the mounting frame 12 and the abutting inclined surface 131a will change with the height change of the adjustment block 131, thereby realizing the adjustment of the angle of the mounting frame 12 and the function of horizontal adjustment, ensuring that the mounting frame 12 is always parallel to the ground, ensuring the vertical placement and pitch swing of the mounting rod 21 for installing the shooting camera, thereby solving the problem that the existing car camera is tilted with the ground along the curved surface of the car door after installation.

[0057] The present invention does not limit the manner in which the adjusting block 131 is lifted and lowered, and can be realized by providing a lead screw structure on the supporting seat 11 to be transmission-connected with the adjusting block 131. However, considering the overall volume and aesthetics of the device, please refer to Figures 2 to 3 In this embodiment, a first threaded hole is formed on the upper end surface of the adjustment block 131, and the horizontal adjustment assembly also includes a seat plate 132 and a locking screw 133. The seat plate 132 is fixedly installed to the corresponding side surface of the support seat 11, and the seat plate 132 is formed with a second threaded hole arranged to penetrate in the up and down directions. The threaded end of the locking screw 133 is threadedly penetrated into the second threaded hole and the first threaded hole in sequence from top to bottom. The mounting frame 12 is rotatably installed on the seat plate 132 along an axis extending laterally toward one end of the support seat 11, and the front side of the lower end of the mounting frame 12 is tightly pressed against the abutting inclined surface 131a. Specifically, the end of the mounting bracket 12 is rotatably mounted on the seat plate 132, so that it can be flexibly swung. The locking screw 133 is fixed in position by the second threaded hole, and its threaded end extends out of the second threaded hole and cooperates with the first threaded hole. When the locking screw 133 is rotated, the locking screw 133 can move up or down. Since the adjusting block 131 is restricted by the seat plate 132 and the mounting bracket 12, its longitudinal position is fixed, so it will move relative to the locking screw 133 and move up and down. The downward movement of the adjusting block 131 can be achieved by changing the length of the locking screw 133 in the first threaded hole or the position in the second threaded hole. The structure is simple and the operation is convenient.

[0058] It can be understood that the contact position of the mounting bracket 12 with the abutting inclined surface 131a itself and one side of the mounting bracket 12. For example, initially, the corresponding side surface of the mounting bracket 12 contacts the A position in the abutting inclined surface 131a. When the locking screw 133 is adjusted so that the corresponding side surface of the mounting bracket 12 contacts the B position above the A position, during the transition from A to B, the adjusting block 131 drops, and the mounting bracket 12 swings upward.

[0059] It should be noted that the threaded length of the locking screw 133 should be greater than the total length of the first threaded hole and the second threaded hole added together.

[0060] Furthermore, in the mating structure of the mounting bracket 12, only one side end is connected to the seat plate 132 in a manner of shaft and hole cooperation, and the rest of the positions are suspended. Considering that the mounting bracket 12 itself has a certain weighing requirement, stronger support force needs to be provided for the mounting bracket 12. For this reason, in this embodiment, the horizontal adjustment assembly further includes two fastening structures respectively arranged on two opposite sides of the mounting bracket 12 in the transverse direction. Each fastening structure includes a fixing plate 1341 and a fastening screw 1342. The fixing plate 1341 includes a first plate segment and a second plate segment arranged at an angle. The second plate segment is fixedly installed on one side of the seat plate 132 in the transverse direction, and the first plate segment extends to the corresponding side surface of the mounting bracket 12 in the transverse direction. A mating threaded hole is formed on one side surface of the first plate segment in the transverse direction. The threaded end of the fastening screw 1342 passes through the mating threaded hole and abuts against the mounting bracket 12. At this time, the fixing plate 1341 is arranged in an L shape, so as to adapt to different height positions or different height dimensions of the mounting bracket 12 and the seat plate 132. The first plate segment can play a fixing role while shielding the adjusting block 131, playing a role in protection and beautifying the appearance. A certain gap should be reserved between the second plate segment and the mounting bracket 12, so as to ensure the smooth rotation of the mounting bracket 12. The fastening bolt is installed in a threaded cooperation form and mechanically limits the mounting bracket 12. Two fastening structures are provided, so two forces towards each other can be applied in the transverse direction, thus achieving the effect of clamping and fastening.

[0061] To reduce the space occupied by the adjusting component, in this embodiment, a boss 1321 is provided on the side of the seat plate 132 facing away from the support base 11, and the second threaded hole is formed in the boss 1321. The adjusting block 131 is correspondingly located below the boss 1321. At this time, the two lateral sides of the boss 1321 can be used for the setting of the rotational connection structure of the mounting bracket 12. The adjusting block 131 is arranged below the boss 1321, making the cooperation of multiple parts more compact. Preferably, the sum of the height of the boss 1321 and the height of the adjusting block 131 is less than or equal to the height of the seat plate 132.

[0062] It can be understood that the boss 1321 can be integrally formed with the seat plate 132 or can be separately provided. When separately provided, considering the connection of the boss 1321, it is set as a vertically placed T shape, with the second threaded hole formed in the middle part, and both sides are for screw fastening and installation.

[0063] Considering that a first threaded hole needs to be designed on the adjusting block 131, if the whole adjusting block 131 is made into a triangular cross-section, it will affect the length of the inclined surface and at the same time cause the length of the first threaded hole to be too small. Therefore, preferably, the adjusting block 131 is made into a trapezoidal cross-section. In this embodiment, the adjusting block 131 includes a first section and a second section with gradually increasing volumes in the up-down direction. The side surface of the second section facing away from the support base 11 forms the abutting inclined surface 131a, and the first threaded hole is formed in the upper end surface of the first section. The first section is arranged horizontally as a whole, facilitating the processing and matching of the first threaded hole. The abutting inclined surface 131a is provided on the second section, that is, the abutting inclined surface 131a extends from the lower end of the second section to the connection between the first section and the second section, and the vertical surface of the first section can be used as a limit.

[0064] It should be noted that the above two related technical features can be set simultaneously or one of them can be selected. In this embodiment, they are set simultaneously, and the first section can abut against the boss 1321.

[0065] In addition, considering the settings of avoidance and weight reduction, the abutting inclined surface 131a may not be laid along the total length of the adjusting block 131 in the transverse direction. The abutting inclined surface 131a can be only a certain section or certain two sections of the adjusting block 131, and avoidance holes and / or grooves can be provided in the remaining parts of the adjusting block 131.

[0066] Furthermore, the present invention does not limit the way the support base 11 is fixed to the vehicle body side door. The support base 11 can be set to be hung at the position of the vehicle window frame, or can be suspended at the position of the door handle and / or the rearview mirror, and is selected according to the actual application scenario and shooting requirements of the photographer. In this embodiment, a plurality of suction cups 14 are provided on the side of the support base 11 facing away from the mounting bracket 12 at intervals in the transverse direction. The plurality of suction cups 14 are used to adsorb to the surface of the vehicle body side door. In this way, the support base 11 is adsorbed and fixed on the door by means of the suction cups 14, with the outer surface of the door as the positioning, not restricted by the window. The structure of the adsorption method itself is easy to simplify and set, more beautiful, and will not affect the opening and closing of the door, better meeting the video shooting requirements and convenience requirements. At the same time, the suction cups 14 are not restricted by the vehicle model when in use and have better adaptability.

[0067] Moreover, the mounting bracket 12 includes a support plate 121 and two mounting beams 122 provided on both sides of the support plate 121 in the transverse direction and extending in the longitudinal direction. The two mounting beams 122 are used for the mounting rod 21 installed with the shooting camera to be movably installed and rotated around the axis extending in the transverse direction of the support plate 121, so as to drive the two mounting beams 122 to swing in the up and down direction. The mounting bracket 12 is set in an assembled structure and is integrally U-shaped, which is convenient for lightweight design.

[0068] It should be noted that the above two related technical features can be set simultaneously or alternatively. In this embodiment, setting them simultaneously has a better effect.

[0069] This embodiment does not limit the number of the suction cups 14. Two suction cups 14 can be set according to actual needs, or three suction cups 14 can be set. Multiple suction cups 14 can provide better adsorption force. It is preferably to use 6-inch suction cups, whose load-bearing capacity reaches 80KG, and the load-bearing effect is better. At the same time, the two mounting beams 122 can be set to be slidable on the support plate 121, so as to finely adjust their relative position to the window.

[0070] Moreover, a level bead is provided in the middle of the support base 11. Each of the suction cups 14 is fixed to the support base 11 by only one screw, and only one level bead can meet the installation requirements. The level bead can reflect whether the current placement position is a horizontal plane through the state of the internal bubble, so as to correct the horizontal position of the support base 11 when the suction cups 14 are installed, ensure that the suction cups 14 are in a horizontal position during installation, and thus ensure that the support base 11 is in a horizontal position.

[0071] The present invention also provides a vehicle-mounted shooting device 100, including the above-mentioned support structure 1 with a horizontal adjustment function. The vehicle-mounted shooting device 100 includes all the technical features of the above-mentioned support structure 1 with a horizontal adjustment function. Therefore, it also has the technical effects brought by the above-mentioned all technical features, which will not be elaborated here one by one.

[0072] Specifically, please refer to Figures 4 to 5 , the vehicle-mounted shooting device 100 further includes a vehicle-mounted shooting assembly 2 and a support assembly. The vehicle-mounted shooting assembly 2 includes a movable seat and a mounting rod 21. The length of the mounting rod 21 is adjustable, and it is rotatably mounted on the movable seat along an axis that can move up and down and extends in the up and down direction. The mounting rod 21 is used for mounting a shooting device, and the lower end of the mounting rod 21 is used for inserting into the ground. The movable seat is movably mounted longitudinally on the mounting frame 12. The support assembly includes a plurality of support parts, and the plurality of support parts are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the movable seat. The lower end of each support part is used for inserting into the ground. When used with a vehicle, first adjust the position of the adjusting block 131 to make the entire mounting frame 12 horizontal, and then insert the plurality of support parts and the mounting rod 21 into the ground together, so as to achieve a stable multi-rod support effect. The mounting rod 21 serves as the main support and is used for placing the shooting device. The height of the shooting camera can be adjusted by adjusting the length of the mounting rod 21 and the position of the mounting rod 21 relative to the movable seat. Adjusting the position of the movable seat can drive the entire mounting rod 21 and the support assembly to translate. When the pan function needs to be realized, rotate the mounting rod 21, and the plurality of support parts and the movable seat remain relatively fixed, which is convenient to operate and improves the user experience.

[0073] It should be noted that each support part can be directly rod-shaped and directly fixed on the mounting sleeve 31. In order to improve flexibility, in this embodiment, the support assembly further includes a connecting seat plate 32. The connecting seat is adapted to the outer side of the movable seat and can be fixedly installed on the circumferential side surface of the movable seat. Each support part includes a connecting rod and a support rod. The connecting rod extends horizontally, and one end of the connecting rod is detachably installed on the side surface of the connecting seat plate 32. The support rod extends in the up and down direction and its length is adjustable. The upper end of the support rod is connected to the other end of the connecting rod, and the included angle between the support rod and the connecting rod is adjustable. The lower end of the support rod is used for inserting into the ground. The connecting rod 311 serves as a support joint, so that the entire support rod 312 is at a certain distance from the mounting rod 21 to avoid interference with other structures. The support rod 312 can realize the change of the included angle between it and the connecting rod 311 through rotational cooperation, arc hole screw cooperation, etc. That is, each support rod 312 can be adjusted to be inserted into the ground obliquely. At this time, not only the base is made more stable, but also the positions on the ground that are not easy to insert can be avoided.

[0074] In other embodiments, the plurality of the support portions can be installed by fitting the mounting sleeve with the bearing.

[0075] Specifically, the support rod 312 adjusts its length in an electric telescopic manner. During use, when the user encounters an uneven road surface, it can be conveniently telescoped to adapt to the ground and provide bottom support.

[0076] Moreover, the mounting rod 21 includes a first sleeve 211 and a second sleeve 212 which are sequentially sleeved. The first sleeve 211 is mounted on the movable seat. The second sleeve 212 is inserted into the lower end of the first sleeve 211 and can be movably installed in the vertical direction. A long-shaped chute 213 extending in the vertical direction is formed on the circumferential side surface of the second sleeve 212, and the bottom wall of the long-shaped chute 213 is in a through setting. The vehicle camera assembly 2 further includes a connecting rod and a locking sleeve. One end of the connecting member is slidably installed in the long-shaped chute 213 through a driving structure, and the other end is used for installing a camera. The locking sleeve is sleeved on the outer surface of the first sleeve 211 and corresponds to the overlapping part of the first sleeve 211 and the second sleeve 212, and can lock the first sleeve 211 and the second sleeve 212. The overlapping length of the first sleeve 211 and the second sleeve 212 can be changed by adjusting the tightness of the locking sleeve 25. At this time, the mounting rod 21 realizes adjustable length through the cooperation of the first sleeve 211 and the second sleeve 212. At the same time, a connecting member 24 is added to enable the installation of a camera, realizing a low camera shooting height.

[0077] In order to adjust the position of the connecting member 24 in the long-shaped chute 213, a hand crank and a driving rope can be used as a driving structure to drive the connecting member 24 to move. The hand crank is placed outside, and the handle control part of the hand crank extends into the vehicle for the personnel in the vehicle to hold. The driving rope is located in the inner cavity of the second sleeve 212. Its upper end extends out of the second sleeve 212 and the first sleeve 211 to be connected to the winding drum of the hand crank, and the lower end is connected to the connecting member 24 to drive the connecting member 24 to move back and forth in the vertical direction. By rotating the handle of the hand crank to drive the driving rope to wind or extend, the lower end of the driving rope can be moved in the vertical direction, thereby driving the connecting member 24 to move in the vertical direction, and driving the camera to rise and fall relative to the mounting rod 21, so that the photographer can operate in the vehicle more conveniently.

[0078] Specifically, the locking sleeve 25 is integrally in a horizontal U-shaped structure, and is sleeved on the outside of the first sleeve 211 and is locked and loosened by passing bolts through two extension arms of two pairs.

[0079] The door heights of different vehicle models are different. During the adaptation and adjustment process, the length of the mounting rod 21 needs to be adjusted. The lifting height of the camera at the bottom is set at 70 cm. Considering that part of the pipe section of the second sleeve 212 will always extend into the first sleeve 211, and since the second sleeve 212 has a through groove, its strength is affected. When the first sleeve 211 and the second sleeve 212 are locked, the second sleeve 212 will deform and shrink under pressure, resulting in failure to lock. When the second sleeve 212 is inserted into the ground, when there is gravity above the first sleeve 211, a natural sliding phenomenon will occur. Therefore, in this embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 , the vehicle-mounted camera assembly 2 further includes a support member 23. The support member 23 is provided in a cylindrical shape. The upper end of the support member 23 is provided with an abutting portion. The support member 23 is sleeved and fixed on the outer surface of the upper end of the second sleeve 212, and the abutting portion abuts against the upper end of the second sleeve 212. First, the support member 23 and the second sleeve 212 are tightly connected without affecting the sliding of the second sleeve 212. At the same time, when the locking sleeve 25 is locked, the support member 23 can resist the first sleeve 211, thereby avoiding the problem of deformation of the second sleeve 212 and solving the problem that the installation rod 21 will shrink when a heavy object presses down due to the long sliding groove 213 provided on the second sleeve 212.

[0080] Specifically, please refer to Figure 6 , the cross-section of the support member 23 in the vertical direction is L-shaped. Two through grooves are provided oppositely on the cylindrical wall of the support member 23. The lower ends of the two through grooves are communicated, and the upper ends extend to the abutting portion. In this way, the inner diameter of the lower end of the support member 23 can be set to be slightly smaller than that of the second sleeve 212. During installation and fitting, it can be in interference fit with the second sleeve 212 and be expanded by the second sleeve 212, thereby achieving a tight fit.

[0081] During use, since the position of the bottom of the mounting rod does not move after being inserted into the ground, when the mounting rod makes a pitching motion, the movement trajectory of the mounting rod during swinging is an arc line centered on the ground placement point. At this time, if it slides on the inclined bullhead frame, there will be serious movement jamming. Even when the bullhead frame is adjusted to a horizontal state, the sliding of the mounting rod still has jamming and is not smooth enough, affecting the use effect. Therefore, in this embodiment, please refer to Figure 7, both of the two movable parts / 221 are slidably mounted longitudinally on the mounting bracket 12 and are arranged at intervals transversely. The opposite side surfaces of the two movable blocks 221 are concavely provided with accommodating grooves that penetrate upward. The lower wall surfaces of the accommodating grooves are provided with two first grooves arranged at intervals longitudinally. The opposite wall surfaces of the two first grooves penetrate through the corresponding movable blocks 221; the base 224 has two mounting ends opposite to each other transversely. The two mounting ends are respectively inserted and mounted in the two accommodating grooves, and the base 224 can be tilted relative to the movable block 221 under the action of an external force, so that one end of each mounting end in the longitudinal direction can extend into the corresponding first groove. A through hole is formed in the middle of the base 224; the fixed seat is arranged on the base 224. The upper end of the fixed seat 222 is provided with a penetrating channel communicating with the through hole for the mounting rod 21 to pass through and be mounted. The upper end of the fixed seat 222 forms two extending arms arranged opposite to each other transversely. The two extending arms are located on both sides of the penetrating channel. The two extending arms abut against the outer surface of the mounting rod 21. The opposite side surfaces of the two extending arms are provided with connecting threaded holes for avoiding the mounting rod 21. The two connecting threaded holes can be threadedly connected with the locking member 223 to lock the mounting rod 21 in the fixed seat 222. Initially, the base 224 can contact the lower wall surface of the accommodating groove and is horizontal as a whole to keep the base 224 stable. When it is necessary to tilt forward, the mounting rod 21 is pushed. At this time, the base 224 is tilted under the action of an external force. The front ends of the mounting ends will extend into the corresponding first grooves, and the rear ends will tilt up. At this time, the pitching action of the camera is based on the movable block 221 and will not affect the sliding of the movable block 221 itself. The position of the movable block 221 remains horizontal, and only the base plate 224 tilts, so that it is possible to avoid the friction caused by the angle interference between the arc line movement mode and the mounting bracket 12 during the pitching swing movement, making the camera smooth when pitching and swinging relying on the mounting rod 21 and improving the user experience.

[0082] At the same time, the existing tripod uses a hand-rotated fastening sleeve structure for the locking structure, generally made of PVC material. It is tightened by turning clockwise and loosened by turning counterclockwise. When this structure is used, when encountering a reverse force, the locked state may become loose. If applied to the mounting rod 21 structure, there is a risk of the mounting rod 21 falling off. Therefore, by designing the cooperation of the fixed seat 222 and the locking member 223, when the mounting rod 21 rises until it leaves the ground as a whole, the locking member 223 is tightened. At this time, the two fixed seats 222 and the two movable blocks 221 adopt a quick-install connection method, which is convenient for disassembly and assembly.

[0083] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and do not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structural transformation made under the inventive concept of the present invention by using the content of the specification and drawings of the present invention, or any direct / indirect application in other related technical fields, is included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
