[0058] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0059] The terms "first", "second", etc. in the description and claims of the present application are used to distinguish similar objects, rather than to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances so that the embodiments of the present application can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first", "second", etc. are usually of the same type, and the number of objects is not limited. For example, the first object can be one or multiple. In addition, "and / or" in the description and claims means at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates an "or" relationship between the associated objects before and after.

[0060] Next, the multi-camera provided in the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, through specific embodiments and their application scenarios.

[0061] As Figures 1 to 24 shown, an embodiment of the present application discloses a multi-camera, including a first imaging unit 100, a circuit board assembly 200, a second imaging unit 300, a first driving device 400, and a second driving device 500. The first imaging unit 100 includes a body 110 and a first lens assembly 120, and the cross-sectional shape of the body 110 is rectangular. Specifically, the body 110 is a basic component, which can provide an installation basis for the circuit board assembly 200, the first lens assembly 120, the first driving device 400, etc. The rectangular cross-sectional shape of the body 110 can reduce the space occupied by the body 110 in the height direction, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing the height of the body 110. Optionally, the body 110 includes a body main body 116, a lower cover 111, and a side cover 117. The lower cover 111 is detachably provided at the bottom of the body main body 116, and a speaker 650 is provided on the lower cover 111. The side cover 117 is detachably provided on the side of the body main body 116.

[0062] The first lens assembly 120 is disposed in the body 110, and the first lens assembly 120 includes at least two first lenses 121 spaced apart in the horizontal direction. Optionally, the first lens 121 may be a full-color lens, which can clearly display color images even in a starlight environment without the assistance of a fill light 123. The full-color lens combined with the fill light 123 can achieve better camera effects. Of course, the first lens 121 may also be a non-full-color lens. Optionally, the first lens assembly 120 also includes a fill light 123, which is disposed adjacent to the first lens 121.

[0063] The circuit board assembly 200 is disposed in the body 110. The circuit board assembly 200 includes a circuit board 210 and a fixing member 220. The fixing member 220 includes a relatively bent horizontal section 221 and a vertical section 222. That is, the horizontal section 221 and the vertical section 222 are perpendicular to each other. The circuit board 210 is horizontally stacked on the horizontal section 221. The first lens assembly 120 is located on a side of the vertical section 222 away from the horizontal section 221. The second camera unit 300 is stacked below the body 110. The second camera unit 300 includes a bottom shell 310 and a second lens assembly 320. The second lens assembly 320 is rotatably disposed in the bottom shell 310. Optionally, the first lens assembly 120 may be located inside the side cover 117 and connected to the side cover 117. When the first lens assembly 120 is connected to the side cover 117, there is no need to additionally provide a fixing frame to fix the first lens assembly 120, thereby reducing the installation space inside the body 110 and the size of the multi-eye camera. The circuit board 210 may be a printed circuit board, the fixing part 220 may be made by bending a sheet metal part, and the second lens assembly 320 may be a full-color lens assembly or a non-full-color lens assembly.

[0064] The first driving device 400 is disposed in the body 110 and can drive the second lens assembly 320 to rotate horizontally. The first driving device 400 includes a gear shaft 410, which is disposed below the horizontal section 221. A notch 223 is provided on the vertical section 222, and a portion of the gear shaft 410 is located in the notch 223; the second driving device 500 is disposed in the bottom shell 310 and can drive the second lens assembly 320 to rotate in pitch.

[0065] In an embodiment of the present application, the multi-eye camera includes a first lens assembly 120, a second lens assembly 320, a first driving device 400 and a second driving device 500. The first lens assembly 120 includes at least two first lenses 121 spaced apart in a horizontal direction, that is, each first lens 121 constitutes a spliced ​​lens, which can increase the field of view of the first lens assembly 120; the first driving device 400 can drive the second lens assembly 320 to rotate horizontally, so that the second lens assembly 320 covers the field of view of the first lens assembly 120 in the horizontal direction, and the second driving device 500 can drive the second lens assembly 320 to pitch and rotate, so that the second lens assembly 320 covers the field of view of the first lens assembly 120 in the vertical direction, so that the details captured by the multi-eye camera can be clearer.

[0066] In addition, the multi-eye camera also includes a fixing member 220 and a circuit board 210, the fixing member 220 includes a horizontal section 221 and a vertical section 222 that are bent to each other, the circuit board 210 is horizontally stacked above the horizontal section 221, and the gear shaft 410 is arranged below the horizontal section 221, that is, the circuit board 210 and the gear shaft 410 can be arranged on the upper and lower sides of the horizontal section 221 through the horizontal section 221, so that the installation space in the vertical direction of the fuselage 110 can be saved, thereby reducing the height of the fuselage 110 and reducing the volume of the multi-eye camera; a part of the gear shaft 410 is located in the notch 223 on the vertical section 222, which can reduce the installation space in the fuselage 110 occupied by the gear shaft 410 in its length direction, and reduce the volume of the multi-eye camera. It can be seen that the present application can optimize the layout of the various components in the fuselage 110 through the fixing member 220, thereby reducing the installation space in the fuselage 110 occupied by the various components, thereby reducing the volume of the multi-eye camera.

[0067] like Figures 5 to 8 As shown, the first driving device 400 further includes a first driving source 420. Optionally, the first driving source 420 may be located above the gear shaft 410. In this case, although the first driving source 420 can drive the gear shaft 410 to rotate, at least a portion of the first driving source 420 exceeds the top surface of the gear shaft 410, so that the first driving source 420 additionally occupies the space in the height direction of the fuselage 110, thereby increasing the height of the fuselage 110.

[0068] In an alternative embodiment, the first driving source 420 and the gear shaft 410 are spaced apart in the horizontal direction. The gear shaft 410 is rotatably disposed below the horizontal section 221, and the axis of the gear shaft 410 is parallel to the vertical direction. A first transmission tooth 411 is provided on the gear shaft 410, and a second transmission tooth 421 meshing with the first transmission tooth 411 is provided at the output end of the first driving source 420. The gear shaft 410 is connected to the bottom case 310, and the first driving source 420 is used to drive the bottom case 310 to rotate horizontally. Optionally, the first driving source 420 can be a motor, a hydraulic motor, etc. The specific operation process is as follows. The first driving source 420 can drive the first transmission tooth 411 to rotate. During the rotation of the first transmission tooth 411, the gear shaft 410 provided with the second transmission tooth 421 can be driven to rotate around the axis of the gear shaft 410, thereby driving the bottom case 310 to rotate horizontally. The second lens assembly 320 is disposed on the bottom case 310, and while the bottom case 310 rotates horizontally, the second lens assembly 320 rotates horizontally accordingly. It can be seen that the first driving source 420 in this embodiment can drive the second lens assembly 320 to rotate horizontally by driving the bottom case 310 to rotate horizontally. When the number of second lens assemblies 320 is multiple, this embodiment can still drive all the second lens assemblies 320 to rotate with one first driving source 420 and one gear shaft 410. Compared with driving multiple second lens assemblies 320 to rotate by multiple driving sources respectively, the number of first driving sources 420 used in this embodiment is less, so that the installation space occupied by the first driving source 420 in the fuselage 110 can be reduced, and thus the volume of the fuselage 110 can be reduced.

[0069] In this embodiment, the first driving source 420 and the gear shaft 410 are spaced apart in the horizontal direction, so that at least a part of the first driving source 420 is opposite to the gear shaft 410. Compared with the previous embodiment, the part of the first driving source 420 opposite to the gear shaft 410 in this embodiment is more, and the part of the first driving source 420 exceeding the top surface of the gear shaft 410 is less, or the first driving source 420 does not exceed the top surface of the gear shaft 410. In this way, the space occupied by the first driving source 420 in the height direction inside the fuselage 110 can be reduced or even avoided, thereby reducing the height of the fuselage 110.

[0070] Optionally, both the first transmission gear 411 and the second transmission gear 421 can be gears. That is to say, the first transmission gears 411 are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction of the gear shaft 410. There is a complete circle of first transmission gears 411 on the outer peripheral surface of the gear shaft 410. In this way, in the radial direction of the gear shaft 410, the first transmission gears 411 will occupy a relatively large installation space inside the fuselage 110, and will increase the risk that the cables inside the fuselage 110 come into contact with the first transmission gears 411 and are thus involved in the meshing area between the first transmission gears 411 and the second transmission gears 421. In an alternative embodiment, the first transmission gears 411 are provided on the outer peripheral surface of the gear shaft 410, and the first transmission gears 411 are provided in a partial circumferential area of the gear shaft 410. In this embodiment, the first transmission gears 411 are provided in a partial circumferential area of the gear shaft 410, that is to say, the first transmission gears 411 do not cover a complete circle along the circumferential direction of the gear shaft 410. The area of the gear shaft 410 where the first transmission gears 411 are not arranged will not additionally occupy the installation space inside the fuselage 110, so that the volume of the fuselage 110 can be reduced; in addition, the first transmission gears 411 do not cover a complete circle along the circumferential direction of the gear shaft 410, so that the risk of the cables inside the fuselage 110 coming into contact with the first transmission gears 411 can be reduced, thereby reducing the risk that the cables are damaged by the first transmission gears 411 and the second transmission gears 421, and the risk that the cables hinder the meshing between the first transmission gears 411 and the second transmission gears 421.

[0071] In an alternative embodiment, as Figures 18 to 19 , Figure 22 shown, the fuselage 110 includes a lower cover 111. An installation hole 112 is provided on the lower cover 111. A part of the gear shaft 410 is rotatably arranged in the installation hole 112. A convex portion 311 is provided on the surface of the bottom shell 310 facing the fuselage 110. At least a part of the convex portion 311 is rotatably arranged in the installation hole 112. The convex portion 311 is connected to the gear shaft 410. Specifically, the installation hole 112 can penetrate the lower cover 111 in the vertical direction. The gear shaft 410 is connected to the convex portion 311 of the bottom shell 310. In this way, the gear shaft 410 can drive the convex portion 311 to rotate during rotation, and then drive the bottom shell 310 to rotate; the shape of the convex portion 311 can be cylindrical or prismatic. The present application does not limit the shape of the convex portion 311. If the entire gear shaft 410 is located outside the installation hole 112, the height of the gear shaft 410 inside the fuselage 110 is relatively high. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the height of the fuselage 110 to adapt to the height of the gear shaft 410. However, in this embodiment, the installation hole 112 is provided on the lower cover 111, and a part of the gear shaft 410 is located in the installation hole 112. In this way, the height of the gear shaft 410 inside the fuselage 110 can be reduced, so that the height of the fuselage 110 can be compressed, thereby reducing the volume of the fuselage 110.

[0072] Optionally, the protrusion 311 and the gear shaft 410 can be connected in a snap-fit manner. However, the connection strength of the snap-fit is not high, and it is easy for the protrusion 311 and the gear shaft 410 to be separated. In an alternative embodiment, the multi-camera further includes a threaded connector 610. The bottom shell 310 includes an upper cover 312. The protrusion 311 is provided on the upper cover 312. A connection hole 313 is provided on the side of the upper cover 312 facing away from the fuselage 110, and the connection hole 313 extends into the protrusion 311. The top surface of the protrusion 311 is in contact with the bottom surface of the gear shaft 410. One end of the threaded connector 610 passes through the protrusion 311 through the connection hole 313 and is threadedly connected to the gear shaft 410 to connect the protrusion 311 and the gear shaft 410. Optionally, the bottom shell 310 further includes a main body portion 318. The upper cover 312 and the main body portion 318 are detachably connected. The second lens assembly 320 is rotatably provided in the main body portion 318.

[0073] In this embodiment, the protrusion 311 and the gear shaft 410 are connected by the threaded connector 610. The connection strength of the threaded connector 610 is relatively high, so that the protrusion 311 and the gear shaft 410 can be prevented from being separated. At the same time, the top surface of the protrusion 311 is in contact with the bottom surface of the gear shaft 410, that is to say, there is no gap between the protrusion 311 and the gear shaft 410, so that the overall height after the assembly of the protrusion 311 and the gear shaft 410 can be reduced, and further the height of the fuselage 110 or the bottom shell 310 can be reduced, and the volume of the multi-camera can be reduced. In addition, the upper cover 312 is provided with a connection hole 313. One end of the threaded connector 610 passes through the protrusion 311 through the connection hole 313 and is connected to the gear shaft 410, that is to say, the other end of the threaded connector 610 is located in the connection hole 313, so that the other end of the threaded connector 610 can be prevented from occupying the installation space inside the bottom shell 310, and further the height of the bottom shell 310 can be reduced, thereby reducing the volume of the multi-camera.

[0074] Optionally, the multi-camera further includes a bearing 640. An annular groove is provided at the bottom end of the gear shaft 410, and the annular groove extends to the bottom surface of the gear shaft 410. The bearing 640 is provided between the gear shaft 410 and the mounting hole 112. A part of the gear shaft 410 is located in the annular groove, and the top wall of the annular groove is connected to the bearing 640. A stepped surface is provided in the mounting hole 112, and the stepped surface and the top surface of the protrusion 311 are in the same horizontal plane. The inner ring of the bearing 640 is provided on the top surface of the protrusion 311, and the outer ring of the bearing 640 is provided on the stepped surface. Optionally, after the bearing 640 is provided on the stepped surface, the bearing 640 can be fixed to the stepped surface by screws to prevent the bearing 640 from moving upward.

[0075] In this embodiment, a bearing 640 is arranged between the gear shaft 410 and the mounting hole 112, which can reduce the frictional force between the gear shaft 410 and the mounting hole 112, so as to reduce the driving power of the first driving device 400, thereby reducing the volume of the first driving device 400, and further reducing the volume of the fuselage 110. In addition, the stepped surface and the top surface of the convex portion 311 can jointly support the bearing 640 to fix the bearing 640 on the lower cover 111. At the same time, an annular groove is provided on the gear shaft 410, and the top wall of the annular groove is connected to the bearing 640. That is to say, the gear shaft 410 can be hooked on the bearing 640 through the annular groove, so as to fix the gear shaft 410 on the lower cover 111. It can be seen that in this embodiment, the bearing 640 and the gear shaft 410 can be fixed by the convex portion 311, the stepped surface in the mounting hole 112, and the annular groove on the gear shaft 410, and the above structures do not additionally occupy the mounting space. In this way, while realizing the fixation of the bearing 640 and the gear shaft 410, it is also possible to ensure that the volume of the multi-camera is not increased. The assembly process of the bearing 640 and the gear shaft 410 can refer to Figure 8 .

[0076] In an alternative embodiment, as Figures 13 to 14 shown, a second wire passing hole 330 is provided on the convex portion 311, and the second wire passing hole 330 extends from the top surface of the convex portion 311 to the bottom surface of the upper cover 312, and the second wire passing hole 330 is spaced from the connection hole 313. When this embodiment is combined with the technical solution in which the gear shaft 410 has a first wire passing hole 412, the first wire passing hole 412 and the second wire passing hole 330 are communicated with each other.

[0077] As Figure 18 shown, when this embodiment is combined with the technical solution in which the multi-camera includes a bearing 640, since the convex portion 311 and the stepped surface jointly support the bearing 640, the bearing 640 and the gear shaft 410 will exert a force on the convex portion 311. The inner ring of the bearing 640 is located at a part between the inner peripheral surface of the connection hole 313 of the convex portion 311 and the outer peripheral surface of the convex portion 311. Since the bearing 640 and the gear shaft 410 will exert a force on this part, there are requirements for the wall thickness of this part in this application; if the second wire passing hole 330 is a circular hole and the connection hole 313 is spaced from the second wire passing hole 330, the distance between the inner peripheral surface of the connection hole 313 and the outer peripheral surface of the convex portion 311 is small. That is to say, the wall thickness of the above part is small. At this time, it is necessary to increase the size of the convex portion 311, and further increase the distance between the inner peripheral surface of the connection hole 313 and the outer peripheral surface of the convex portion 311, and increasing the size of the convex portion 311 will increase the volume of the multi-camera.

[0078] Therefore, in an alternative embodiment, as Figure 14As shown, the second wire passing hole 330 has a wide portion and a narrow portion 331, the width of the narrow portion 331 is smaller than that of the wide portion, and the connecting hole 313 is arranged adjacent to the narrow portion 331. In this embodiment, the connecting hole 313 is arranged adjacent to the narrow portion 331, so that the distance between the inner peripheral surface of the connecting hole 313 and the outer peripheral surface of the convex portion 311 can be increased, thereby eliminating the need to increase the size of the convex portion 311, and further solving the problem of increasing the volume of the multi-eye camera. Further, the wide portion includes a first wide portion and a second wide portion, and the narrow portion 331 is located between the first wide portion and the second wide portion. In this way, the second wire passing hole 330 is a wire passing hole with wide ends and a narrow middle, which can improve the wire passing ability of the second wire passing hole 330.

[0079] In an alternative embodiment, a first positioning portion 340 is provided on the top surface of the convex portion 311, and a second positioning portion is provided on the bottom surface of the gear shaft 410, and the first positioning portion 340 is in positioning cooperation with the second positioning portion.

[0080] Further, the first positioning portion 340 is a positioning convex portion, and the second positioning portion is a positioning concave portion. In the direction extending from the gear shaft 410 to the convex portion 311, the cross-sectional area of the first positioning portion 340 gradually increases, and the cross-sectional area of the second positioning portion gradually increases; or, the first positioning portion 340 is a positioning concave portion, and the second positioning portion is a positioning convex portion. In the direction extending from the gear shaft 410 to the convex portion 311, the cross-sectional area of the first positioning portion 340 gradually decreases, and the cross-sectional area of the second positioning portion gradually decreases. In this embodiment, the cross-sectional area of the open end of the positioning concave portion is larger, and the cross-sectional area of the free end of the positioning convex portion is smaller. In this way, the positioning convex portion is more easily inserted into the positioning concave portion, and thus is more easily in positioning cooperation with the positioning concave portion, thereby reducing the assembly difficulty. It should be noted that when the first positioning portion 340 is a positioning convex portion, the free end of the positioning convex portion refers to the end of the positioning convex portion away from the convex portion 311; when the second positioning portion is a positioning convex portion, the free end of the positioning convex portion refers to the end of the positioning convex portion away from the gear shaft 410.

[0081] In the above embodiments, since the bottom case 310 is disposed below the lower cover 111 and can rotate horizontally, there is a rotation gap between the bottom case 310 and the lower cover 111. Water and dust in the external environment can easily enter the mounting hole 112 through the rotation gap, and then enter the body 110 and the bottom case 310. In this way, the electronic components in the body 110 and the bottom case 310 may be damaged. In an alternative embodiment, the multi-camera further includes a seal 620. The seal 620 is disposed between the bottom case 310 and the lower cover 111, and the seal 620 is disposed around the outside of the mounting hole 112. A recess 113 is provided on the surface of the lower cover 111 facing the bottom case 310. The mounting hole 112 is provided in the recess 113, and at least a part of the seal 620 is located in the recess 113. In this embodiment, a seal 620 is provided between the bottom case 310 and the lower cover 111. The seal 620 can seal the rotation gap between the bottom case 310 and the lower cover 111, thereby preventing water and dust in the external environment from entering the mounting hole 112 through the rotation gap. At the same time, a recess 113 is provided on the lower cover 111, and at least a part of the seal 620 is located in the recess 113. In this way, the installation space occupied by the seal 620 in the height direction can be reduced, so as to reduce the overall height after the bottom case 310 and the body 110 are assembled, and further reduce the volume of the multi-camera. Optionally, the shape of the seal 620 is annular.

[0082] In an alternative embodiment, as Figures 13 to 14 shown, a ring-shaped mounting protrusion 314 is provided on the surface of the bottom case 310 facing the body 110. The mounting protrusion 314 is disposed around the outside of the protrusion 311. An annular mounting groove 315 is formed between the mounting protrusion 314 and the protrusion 311. At least a part of the mounting protrusion 314 is located in the recess 113. An annular cylinder 114 is provided in the recess 113. The cylinder 114 is disposed around the outside of the mounting hole 112, and at least a part of the cylinder 114 is located in the mounting groove 315. The seal 620 is disposed between the cylinder 114 and the mounting protrusion 314. In this embodiment, at least a part of the mounting protrusion 314 is located in the recess 113. An annular mounting groove 315 is formed between the mounting protrusion 314 and the protrusion 311, and at least a part of the cylinder 114 in the recess 113 is located in the mounting groove 315. That is to say, the installation space occupied by the cylinder 114 and the mounting protrusion 314 for fixing the seal 620 in the height direction is relatively small, or neither the cylinder 114 nor the mounting protrusion 314 will additionally occupy the installation space in the height direction. It can be seen that in this embodiment, while realizing the fixation of the seal 620, it is also beneficial to reduce the volume of the multi-camera. In addition, the mounting protrusion 314 is located outside the seal 620. In this way, the mounting protrusion 314 can block the rainwater in the external environment from directly contacting the seal 620, thereby preventing the rainwater from damaging the seal 620.

[0083] The assembly process of the seal 620 is as follows: the seal 620 is assembled within the mounting protrusion 314; the protrusion 311 of the upper cover 312 is inserted into the mounting hole 112. During this process, the barrel 114 will be inserted between the seal 620 and the protrusion 311, thereby fixing the seal 620; the protrusion 311 is connected to the gear shaft 410 using a threaded connector 610. After the seal 620 is assembled within the mounting protrusion 314, the seal 620 can be fixed to the mounting protrusion 314 with screws to prevent the seal 620 from moving upward.

[0084] As Figures 18 to 19 shown, the seal 620 includes a connected fixed skeleton 621 and a flexible sealing portion 622. The flexible sealing portion 622 is in sealing contact with the barrel 114, and the fixed skeleton 621 is in contact with the mounting protrusion 314. Optionally, the flexible sealing portion 622 can be made of rubber material, and the fixed skeleton 621 can be a steel skeleton. The steel skeleton can be covered with a rubber layer, and the rubber layer can be integrally formed with the flexible sealing portion 622. There is a frictional force between the flexible sealing portion 622 and the barrel 114. When the force applied by the first driving device 400 to the seal 620 is greater than this frictional force, the bottom shell 310 can rotate horizontally relative to the fuselage 110. At this time, relative movement will occur between the flexible sealing portion 622 and the barrel 114, and the flexible sealing portion 622 is elastically deformable. During the relative movement between the flexible sealing portion 622 and the barrel 114, the flexible sealing portion 622 will elongate downward. If the distance between the flexible sealing portion 622 and the bottom of the mounting groove 315 is small, the bottom wall of the mounting groove 315 will hinder the elongation of the flexible sealing portion 622, which will increase the rotational resistance between the bottom shell 310 and the fuselage 110. In this way, the first driving device 400 needs to provide a greater driving power, which will increase the volume of the first driving device 400 and thus increase the volume of the fuselage 110.

[0085] Therefore, in an optional embodiment, the bottom wall of the mounting groove 315 is provided with a supporting protrusion 319. The fixed skeleton 621 is arranged on the supporting protrusion 319, and the flexible sealing portion 622 is arranged in a staggered manner with the flexible sealing portion 622. In this embodiment, the bottom wall of the mounting groove 315 is provided with a supporting protrusion 319, and the width of the supporting protrusion 319 is smaller than the width of the seal 620. That is to say, a groove is formed between the supporting protrusion 319 and the protrusion 311, and the flexible sealing portion 622 is arranged opposite to the groove, thereby increasing the distance between the flexible sealing portion 622 and the bottom wall of the mounting groove 315. During the downward elongation of the flexible sealing portion 622, the flexible sealing portion 622 can extend into the groove, thereby solving the problem that the bottom wall of the mounting groove 315 hinders the elongation of the flexible sealing portion 622.

[0086] In the previous embodiment, although the mounting protrusion 314 can prevent rainwater in the external environment from directly contacting the seal 620, when the rainwater in the external environment is relatively large, during the contact between the rainwater and the mounting protrusion 314, the rainwater will splash, and thus splash onto the seal 620, which may cause damage to the seal 620. In an alternative embodiment, a water blocking portion 316 is further provided on the side of the bottom case 310 facing the fuselage 110. At least a part of the water blocking portion 316 is located in the recess 113. The mounting protrusion 314 is provided between the water blocking portion 316 and the protruding portion 311, and the water blocking portion 316 extends along the circumferential direction of the mounting protrusion 314. There is a water blocking space between the water blocking portion 316 and the mounting protrusion 314. In this embodiment, the bottom case 310 is further provided with the water blocking portion 316. The water blocking portion 316 is located outside the mounting protrusion 314, and there is a water blocking space between the water blocking portion 316 and the mounting protrusion 314. In this way, the rainwater in the external environment will first contact the water blocking portion 316. Even when the rainwater in the external environment is relatively large, during the contact between the rainwater and the water blocking portion 316, the rainwater splashes, and most or even all of the splashed rainwater will fall into the water blocking space. In this way, the risk of the rainwater damaging the seal 620 can be reduced. At the same time, at least a part of the water blocking portion 316 is located in the recess 113. In this way, the installation space occupied by the water blocking portion 316 in the height direction can be reduced, thereby reducing the overall height after the bottom case 310 and the fuselage 110 are assembled, and further reducing the volume of the multi-camera. Optionally, the water blocking portion 316 can be an integral ring structure, or the water blocking portion 316 can include a plurality of arc-shaped structural members arranged at intervals. The arc-shaped structural members extend along the circumferential direction of the mounting protrusion 314, and a drain opening communicating with the water blocking space can be formed between two adjacent arc-shaped structural members. In this way, the rainwater in the water blocking space can be discharged.

[0087] In the above embodiment, after the seal 620 is assembled between the cylinder 114 and the mounting protrusion 314, the seal 620 needs to have a sufficient compression amount to ensure good sealing effect of the seal 620. When the compression amount of the seal 620 is relatively large, the seal 620 will exert a relatively large force on the mounting protrusion 314, and at this time, the mounting protrusion 314 may be damaged. To solve the above problem, in an alternative embodiment, a reinforcing rib 317 is provided between the water blocking portion 316 and the mounting protrusion 314. In this embodiment, the water blocking portion 316 and the mounting protrusion 314 are connected by the reinforcing rib 317. Both the reinforcing rib 317 and the water blocking portion 316 can provide a supporting force for the mounting protrusion 314, thereby reducing the risk of the mounting protrusion 314 being damaged by the seal 620.

[0088] In an alternative embodiment, such as Figures 5 to 6As shown in the figure, at least two electronic components are provided on one side of the circuit board 210 facing the horizontal section 221. The at least two electronic components include a first component and a second component. The height of the first component is less than the height of the second component. The horizontal section 221 is disposed opposite to the first component and is offset from the second component. In this embodiment, when there is a height difference in the electronic components provided on the circuit board 210, the horizontal section 221 can be disposed opposite to the lower electronic component, that is, the first component, and at the same time, the horizontal section 221 can also avoid the higher electronic component, that is, the second component. Such a setting can make full use of the space below the first component, thereby appropriately reducing the height of the horizontal section 221, making the height of the fuselage 110 smaller, and further reducing the volume of the multi-camera.

[0089] Further, on one side of the circuit board 210 facing the horizontal section 221, there are an image and audio area 214, a high-device area 215, and a power supply area 216 which are spaced apart. The image and audio area 214 is disposed adjacent to the gear shaft 410 and is located on the side of the vertical section 222 away from the gear shaft 410. Both the high-device area 215 and the power supply area 216 are located on the side of the vertical section 222 facing the gear shaft 410.

[0090] In an alternative embodiment, as Figures 2 to 4 shown, at least two first lenses 121 include a first sub-lens and a second sub-lens. There is a first included angle between the axis of the first sub-lens and the axis of the second sub-lens. An accommodation space 122 is formed between the first sub-lens and the second sub-lens. A part of the gear shaft 410 is located in the accommodation space 122. In this embodiment, the first included angle between the axis of the first sub-lens and the axis of the second sub-lens can make the field of view angles of the first sub-lens and the second sub-lens partially overlap, so that the images captured by the first sub-lens and the second sub-lens partially overlap, and thus it is convenient to splice the images captured by the first sub-lens and the second sub-lens; the first included angle between the axis of the first sub-lens and the axis of the second sub-lens can form an accommodation space 122 between the first sub-lens and the second sub-lens. In this embodiment, the accommodation space 122 is fully utilized, and a part of the gear shaft 410 is disposed in the accommodation space 122. In this way, the installation space in the fuselage 110 occupied by the components disposed in the fuselage 110 in the length direction can be reduced, thereby reducing the length of the fuselage 110 and compressing the volume of the fuselage 110.

[0091] In an alternative embodiment, as Figure 5As shown in the figure, mounting posts 115 are provided on the bottom surface of the fuselage 110. The vertical section 222 is connected to the mounting posts 115, and the bottom surface of the vertical section 222 is lower than the top surface of the mounting posts 115. The height of the top surface of the vertical section 222 is less than the sum of the height of the vertical section 222 and the height of the mounting posts 115. The vertical section 222 is provided on the bottom surface of the fuselage 110 through the mounting posts 115. The height of the vertical section 222 is h1, and the height of the mounting posts 115 is h2. If the bottom surface of the vertical section 222 is attached to the top surface of the mounting posts 115, the height of the top surface of the vertical section 222 will be h1 + h2. In this way, the height of the circuit board 210 provided on the top surface of the vertical section 222 will be relatively high, resulting in an increase in the height of the fuselage 110. In this embodiment, the bottom surface of the vertical section 222 is lower than the top surface of the mounting posts 115. That is to say, in the direction extending from the first lens assembly 120 to the gear shaft 410, a part of the orthographic projection of the vertical section 222 coincides with a part of the orthographic projection of the mounting posts 115. In this way, the height of the top surface of the vertical section 222 can be made less than h1 + h2, thereby reducing the height of the horizontal section 221, and further reducing the height of the fuselage 110 and reducing the volume of the multi-camera.

[0092] Furthermore, a positioning notch is provided on the bottom surface of the vertical section 222, and a positioning protrusion is provided on the side surface of the mounting post 115. The positioning notch and the positioning protrusion are in positioning cooperation. In this embodiment, during the process of assembling the vertical section 222 to the mounting post 115, the positioning notch and the positioning protrusion can be in positioning cooperation, so as to ensure that the vertical section 222 is installed at the preset position of the mounting post 115. In addition, the positioning protrusion can also support the vertical section 222, so that the vertical section 222 and the positioning protrusion are in limit cooperation in the vertically downward direction to increase the connection strength between the mounting post 115 and the vertical section 222.

[0093] In an alternative embodiment, as Figure 22 shown, there is a rotational clearance between the bottom shell 310 and the fuselage 110, and the height H of the rotational clearance is 1 mm to 2.5 mm. Specifically, there are manufacturing errors during the manufacturing process of the bottom shell 310 and the fuselage 110, and there are assembly errors during the assembly process of the bottom shell 310 and the fuselage 110. In the case where the manufacturing errors and the assembly errors are superimposed, if the height H of the rotational clearance is less than 1 mm, the bottom shell 310 is likely to get stuck during rotation; if the height H of the rotational clearance is greater than 2.5 mm, the height of the multi-camera will be relatively large, and thus the volume of the multi-camera will be relatively large. In the embodiment of the present application, the height H of the rotational clearance is controlled within 1 mm to 2.5 mm, which can not only prevent the bottom shell 310 from getting stuck during rotation, but also make the height and volume of the multi-camera relatively small.

[0094] In an alternative embodiment, as Figure 5As shown, one side of the circuit board 210 facing the horizontal section 221 has a power interface 211, a first output port 212, and a second output port 213. The first output port 212 is adjacent to the first driving device 400 and is electrically connected to the first driving device 400. The second output port 213 is adjacent to the gear shaft 410 and is electrically connected to the second driving device 500. Optionally, the power interface 211 can be electrically connected to the power line 660 to supply power to the circuit board 210; the first output port 212 can be electrically connected to the first driving device 400 through the second cable 670 to supply power to the first driving source 420 of the first driving device 400; the second output port 213 can be electrically connected to the second driving device 500 through the first cable 630 to supply power to the second driving source 510 of the second driving device 500. And the fact that the first output port 212 is adjacent to the first driving device 400 can shorten the length of the second cable 670, and the fact that the second output port 213 is adjacent to the gear shaft 410 can shorten the length of the first cable 630, thus making the layout inside the fuselage 110 more compact.

[0095] A first wire passing hole 412 is provided on the gear shaft 410. The first wire passing hole 412 penetrates the gear shaft 410 in the vertical direction. The power interface 211 and the first output port 212 are located on the side of the vertical section 222 close to the horizontal section 221, and the second output port 213 is located on the side of the vertical section 222 far from the horizontal section 221. In this embodiment, the first output port 212 and the second output port 213 are respectively located on opposite sides of the vertical section 222, so that the first cable 630 and the second cable 670 can be separated, thereby optimizing the circuit layout inside the fuselage 110.

[0096] Furthermore, a wire passing port 224 is provided on the top wall of the notch 223. The first cable 630 can pass through the wire passing port 224 and be electrically connected to the second driving device 500. The provision of the wire passing port 224 can compress the gap between the gear shaft 410 and the top wall of the notch 223, thereby reducing the height of the horizontal section 221 and further reducing the height of the fuselage 110.

[0097] In an alternative embodiment, as Figures 20 to 21As shown, the second driving device 500 includes a second driving source 510. The rotation axis of the second lens assembly 320 is parallel to the horizontal direction. The central axis of the second driving source 510 is parallel to the rotation axis. The second driving source 510 is drivingly connected to the second lens assembly 320 to drive the second lens assembly 320 to pitch and rotate. The distance L between the rotation axis and the central axis is 34 mm to 40 mm. Optionally, the second driving source 510 can be a motor or a hydraulic motor. Specifically, the bottom case 310 has a light-transmitting opening. The second lens assembly 320 is opposite to the light-transmitting opening, so that there is a gap between the field of view corresponding to the field of view angle and the inner wall of the light-transmitting opening, thus preventing the bottom case 310 from interfering with the field of view range and reducing the field of view range. The position of the second driving source 510 in the bottom case 310 is relatively fixed. Therefore, the position of the central axis is relatively fixed. Adjusting the distance L between the rotation axis and the central axis can adjust the position of the rotation axis. The second lens assembly 320 has a viewing point. Here, the viewing point refers to the vertex of the field of view angle. To Figure 20 and Figure 21 taking the positions where they are located as an example, if the distance L between the rotation axis and the central axis is less than 34 mm, the position of the central axis will shift too much to the left. At this time, the central axis is located on the left side of the viewing point, and the distance between the central axis and the viewing point is large. When the second lens assembly 320 is not rotating, the viewing point and the rotation axis are on the same horizontal plane. When the second lens assembly 320 is rotating, the viewing point will move up or down. At this time, the horizontal plane where the viewing point is located and the horizontal plane where the rotation axis is located are not coplanar, and the distance between them is large. The bottom case 310 may block the field of view range, reducing the field of view range. In this way, only the size of the light-transmitting opening can be increased, but this will also increase the size of the bottom case 310, thereby increasing the volume of the multi-camera. Similarly, if the distance L between the rotation axis and the central axis is greater than 40 mm, the position of the central axis will shift too much to the right. When the second lens assembly 320 is rotating, the viewing point will move up or down. At this time, the horizontal plane where the viewing point is located and the horizontal plane where the rotation axis is located are not coplanar, and the distance between them is large. The bottom case 310 may also block the field of view angle. In this embodiment, the distance L between the rotation axis and the central axis is controlled within 34 mm to 40 mm, which can make the viewing point adjacent to the rotation axis, or even make the viewing point located on the rotation axis. When the second lens assembly 320 is rotating, the distance that the viewing point moves up or down is small, or even does not move up or down (when the viewing point is located on the rotation axis). At this time, the distance between the horizontal plane where the viewing point is located and the horizontal plane where the rotation axis is located is small, or even coplanar. In this way, the risk of the bottom case 310 blocking the field of view range can be reduced, thereby solving the problem of increasing the size of the light-transmitting opening and the volume of the multi-camera.

[0098] Optionally, a bracket 540 is provided in the bottom shell 310, the first driving device 400 and the second lens assembly 320 are provided on the bracket 540, the bracket 540 has a window 541, the second lens assembly 320 is opposite to the window 541, and the first driving device 400 and the second lens assembly 320 are provided on the bracket 540 to reduce the assembly error of the first driving device 400 and the second lens assembly 320. The window 541 here is used for light to pass through, and the window 541 is opposite to the light transmission port described above.

[0099] Furthermore, a third transmission tooth 520 is provided at the output end of the second driving source 510, a fourth transmission tooth 530 is provided on the second lens assembly 320, the third transmission tooth 520 and the fourth transmission tooth 530 are meshed and connected, and the rotation axis of the second lens assembly 320 is located in a horizontal plane.

[0100] In an optional embodiment, the multi-eye camera further includes a wire blocking member 700, which has a first wire blocking portion 710, which is disposed above the second transmission tooth 421, and the top surface of the first wire blocking portion 710 is not higher than the top surface of the gear shaft 410, and in the vertical direction, the orthographic projection of the first wire blocking portion 710 covers at least a portion of the orthographic projection of the second transmission tooth 421. Optionally, the first wire blocking portion 710 may be a plate-shaped wire blocking structure. In this embodiment, the multi-eye camera further includes a wire blocking member 700, which has a first wire blocking portion 710, which is disposed above the second transmission tooth 421, and in the vertical direction, the orthographic projection of the first wire blocking portion 710 covers at least a portion of the orthographic projection of the second transmission tooth 421, that is, the first wire blocking portion 710 can block the cable located above the second transmission tooth 421 from contacting the second transmission tooth 421, thereby reducing the risk of the cable being wound into the meshing area of ​​the first transmission tooth 411 and the second transmission tooth 421 and being damaged. At the same time, the top surface of the first wire blocking portion 710 is not higher than the top surface of the gear shaft 410, so that the first wire blocking portion 710 can be prevented from occupying additional space above the gear shaft 410, thereby reducing the height of the fuselage 110 and reducing the volume of the multi-eye camera.

[0101] Optionally, the first wire blocking portion 710 may be connected to the body 110 via a support frame, but the support frame will additionally occupy the installation space in the body 110. Figure 16The wire blocking member 700 further includes a support portion 720 connected to the first wire blocking portion 710, the support portion 720 extends downward and is connected to the first driving source 420, and a wire blocking space 730 is formed around the support portion 720 and the first wire blocking portion 710. The wire blocking space 730 is provided with an opening 740 for the first transmission tooth 411 or the second transmission tooth 421 to pass through on one side of the gear shaft 410, and at least a portion of the second transmission tooth 421 is located in the wire blocking space 730. Specifically, when the meshing area of ​​the first transmission tooth 411 and the second transmission tooth 421 is located within the wire blocking space 730, the opening 740 is used for the first transmission tooth 411 to pass through; when the meshing area of ​​the first transmission tooth 411 and the second transmission tooth 421 is located outside the wire blocking space 730, the opening 740 is used for the second transmission tooth 421 to pass through.

[0102] In this embodiment, the support portion 720 is arranged by using the space between the first wire blocking portion 710 and the first driving source 420, so that the first wire blocking portion 710 is connected to the first driving source 420 through the support portion 720, so that the support portion 720 does not occupy the installation space in the fuselage 110 extra; in addition, the support portion 720 and the first wire blocking portion 710 are surrounded by a wire blocking space 730, and at least part of the gear shaft 410 is located in the wire blocking space 730, so that the support portion 720 can prevent the cable located on the side of the second transmission tooth 421 from contacting the second transmission tooth 421, thereby reducing the risk of the cable being wound into the meshing area of ​​the first transmission tooth 411 and the second transmission tooth 421 and being damaged. It can be seen that the support portion 720 of this embodiment can provide support for the first wire blocking portion 710 without occupying the installation space in the fuselage 110 extra, and the support portion 720 can also prevent the cable located on the side of the second transmission tooth 421 from contacting the second transmission tooth 421.

[0103] Optionally, the support portion 720 may include a first wire blocking plate, which is disposed on the bottom surface of the first wire blocking portion 710. The wire blocking space 730 is a space formed between the support portion 720 and the first wire blocking plate. The bottom of the wire blocking space 730 has an installation opening. In addition to the opening 740, the side of the wire blocking space 730 also has other open ends. Therefore, the support portion 720 cannot block the cables located on the side of the other open ends. This part of the cable may contact the second transmission tooth 421, thereby being drawn into the meshing area of ​​the first transmission tooth 411 and the second transmission tooth 421. In an optional embodiment, please refer to Figure 17, the support portion 720 includes a second wire blocking portion 721, a third wire blocking portion 722, and a fourth wire blocking portion 723 that are connected in sequence. The second wire blocking portion 721 and the fourth wire blocking portion 723 are disposed opposite to each other. The first wire blocking portion 710, the second wire blocking portion 721, the third wire blocking portion 722, and the fourth wire blocking portion 723 surround to form a wire blocking space 730, and the third wire blocking portion 722 is disposed opposite to the opening 740. In this embodiment, the support portion 720 includes the second wire blocking portion 721, the third wire blocking portion 722, and the fourth wire blocking portion 723, and the three surround to form the wire blocking space 730. The side of the wire blocking space 730 facing the gear shaft 410 has an opening 740, and the bottom of the wire blocking space 730 has a mounting opening. Except for the opening 740, the side of the wire blocking space 730 does not have other open ends. Therefore, the support portion 720 can block all the cables located on the side of the second transmission gear 421 to prevent the cables located on the side of the second transmission gear 421 from contacting the second transmission gear 421.

[0104] Please refer to Figure 16 and Figure 17 , the first drive source 420 has an input cable. Specifically, the input cable is used to supply power to the first drive source 420 to drive the first drive source 420 to operate. The input cable can be electrically connected to the second cable 670, and the second cable 670 is electrically connected to the first output port 212 on the circuit board 210. During the operation of the first drive source 420, vibrations will occur, which may cause the input cable to sway back and forth within the body 110. During the swaying process of the input cable, it is easy to contact the first transmission gear 411 or the second transmission gear 421. Therefore, in an alternative embodiment, a wire clamping portion 750 is provided on the support portion 720. The wire clamping portion 750 is located outside the wire blocking space 730, and the input cable is connected to the wire clamping portion 750. Optionally, the first drive source 420 can be a motor or a hydraulic motor. In this embodiment, a wire clamping portion 750 is provided on the support portion 720, and the input cable is connected to the wire clamping portion 750. That is to say, the wire clamping portion 750 can relatively fix the input cable, thereby preventing the input cable from swaying during the operation of the first drive source 420, and further preventing the input cable from contacting the first transmission gear 411 or the second transmission gear 421.

[0105] Optionally, the wire clamping portion 750 can be a U-shaped wire buckle, or the wire clamping portion 750 includes two clamping arms disposed opposite to each other. A wire clamping space is formed between the two clamping arms. On the side of at least one clamping arm facing the wire clamping space, a wire clamping protrusion is provided. The wire clamping protrusion is used to prevent the cable from slipping out of the wire clamping space. Further, the clamping arm has elasticity, so that it can be suitable for input cables of different thicknesses.

[0106] In the above embodiment, if the cable in the fuselage 110 is located above the first transmission tooth 411, the cable may contact the first transmission tooth 411, thereby damaging the first transmission tooth 411. In an optional embodiment, a fifth blocking portion 413 is provided on the gear shaft 410, and the fifth blocking portion 413 is provided above the first transmission tooth 411, and the top surface of the fifth blocking portion 413 is not higher than the top surface of the gear shaft 410, and in the vertical direction, the orthographic projection of the fifth blocking portion 413 covers at least a portion of the orthographic projection of the first transmission tooth 411, that is, the fifth blocking portion 413 can block at least a portion of the first transmission tooth 411 along the circumferential direction of the gear shaft 410, and / or, the fifth blocking portion 413 can block at least a portion of the first transmission tooth 411 along the radial direction of the gear shaft 410. In this embodiment, the fifth wire blocking portion 413 is located above the first transmission tooth 411, so the first wire blocking portion 710 can block the cable located above the first transmission tooth 411 from contacting the second transmission tooth 421, thereby reducing the risk of the cable being damaged by contacting the first transmission tooth 411. At the same time, the top surface of the fifth wire blocking portion 413 is not higher than the top surface of the gear shaft 410, so that the fifth wire blocking portion 413 can be prevented from occupying additional space above the gear shaft 410, thereby reducing the height of the fuselage 110 and reducing the volume of the multi-eye camera.

[0107] In an optional embodiment, in the radial direction of the gear shaft 410, the outer edge of the fifth wire-blocking portion 413 protrudes from the outer edge of the first transmission tooth 411, so that the meshing area between the first transmission tooth 411 and the second transmission tooth 421 can be located within the fifth wire-blocking portion 413, that is, the fifth wire-blocking portion 413 can cover the meshing area between the first transmission tooth 411 and the second transmission tooth 421, which can prevent the cables in the fuselage 110 from being rolled into the meshing area between the first transmission tooth 411 and the second transmission tooth 421. This embodiment can be combined with the solution that the wire-blocking member 700 includes a support portion 720, in which case the opening 740 of the wire-blocking space 730 formed by the support portion 720 and the first wire-blocking portion 710 is used for the second transmission tooth 421 to pass through. Of course, the outer edge of the first transmission tooth 411 can also protrude from the outer edge of the fifth wire-blocking portion 413, and this application is not limited to this.

[0108] In an alternative embodiment, there is a mating clearance between the edge of the first wire blocking portion 710 facing the gear shaft 410 and the outer edge of the fifth wire blocking portion 413, and the width W of the mating clearance is 1.2 mm to 2.0 mm. Specifically, there are manufacturing errors during the manufacturing process of the first wire blocking portion 710 and the fifth wire blocking portion 413, and there are assembly errors during the assembly process of the first wire blocking portion 710 and the fifth wire blocking portion 413. In the case where the manufacturing errors and the assembly errors are superimposed, if the width W of the mating clearance is less than 1.2 mm, during the rotation of the gear shaft 410, the fifth wire blocking portion 413 may contact the first wire blocking portion 710, causing the gear shaft 410 to become stuck during rotation; if the width W of the mating clearance is greater than 2.0 mm, the cable inside the fuselage 110 may pass through the mating clearance and contact the first transmission gear 411 or the second transmission gear 421. In this embodiment, the width W of the mating clearance is controlled to be 1.2 mm to 2.0 mm, so that it is possible to prevent the gear shaft 410 from becoming stuck during rotation and prevent the cable inside the fuselage 110 from passing through the mating clearance and contacting the first transmission gear 411 or the second transmission gear 421.

[0109] Optionally, the top surfaces of both the first wire blocking portion 710 and the fifth wire blocking portion 413 can be lower than the top surface of the gear shaft 410. At this time, the top surface of the gear shaft 410 protrudes above the top surface of the first wire blocking portion 710, and the top surface of the gear shaft 410 protrudes above the top surface of the fifth wire blocking portion 413, which will result in a relatively high height of the gear shaft 410, thereby increasing the height of the fuselage 110. In an alternative embodiment, the top surfaces of the first wire blocking portion 710, the fifth wire blocking portion 413, and the gear shaft 410 are located in the same horizontal plane, which can reduce the height of the gear shaft 410 and thus reduce the height of the fuselage 110.

[0110] The gear shaft 410 and the first drive source 420 can also be spaced apart along Figure 23 the direction indicated by the x arrow line in Figure 23 . Here, the direction indicated by the x arrow line can be the length direction of the fuselage 110. In this case, in the direction indicated by the x arrow line, the overall length of the assembled gear shaft 410 and the first drive source 420 is relatively long, which will occupy a relatively large installation space inside the fuselage 110 in the direction indicated by the x arrow line. In an alternative embodiment, please refer to Figure 23 , the gear shaft 410 and the first drive source 420 are spaced apart in a first direction, and there is a first included angle between the first direction and a second direction, where the second direction is the direction extending from the first lens assembly 120 to the gear shaft 410, and the second direction is orthogonal to the central axis of the gear shaft 410. It should be noted that the first direction here is Figure 23The direction indicated by the x-arrow line; in this embodiment, the gear shaft 410 and the first driving source 420 are spaced apart in the first direction, and there is a first included angle between the first direction and the second direction. Compared with the previous embodiment, in the direction indicated by the x-arrow line, the overall length of the gear shaft 410 and the first driving source 420 after assembly in this embodiment is small, so that the length of the fuselage 110 in the direction indicated by the x-arrow line can be compressed.

[0111] Further, the first included angle is less than 90° or greater than 90°. This embodiment can avoid the gear shaft 410 and the first driving source 420 being spaced apart in the third direction, where the third direction is perpendicular to the second direction and the central axis of the gear shaft 410 respectively. In this way, the width of the overall assembly of the gear shaft 410 and the first driving source 420 in the third direction can be reduced, and further the width of the fuselage 110 in the third direction can be compressed.

[0119] Wherein the gear shaft 410 is disposed at the notch 223 and the axis of the gear shaft 410 does not extend out of the vertical section 222, so that a part of the first transmission tooth 411 extends out of the vertical section 222 and the other part does not extend out of the vertical section 222, thereby making the height of the first imaging unit 100 determined by the mounting post 115, the fixing member 220 and the circuit board 210.

[0120] In this application, the fixing member 220 can optimize the layout of the components inside the fuselage 110, thereby reducing the installation space inside the fuselage 110 occupied by the components, and further reducing the volume of the multi-camera.

[0121] An embodiment of this application also discloses a multi-camera, including:

[0122] The first imaging unit 100 includes a fuselage 110 and a first lens assembly 120. The fuselage 110 includes a fuselage main body 116 and a lower cover 111. The first lens assembly 120 is disposed inside the fuselage 110. The first lens assembly 120 includes a first lens 121. The lower cover 111 has a mounting post 115;

[0123] The second imaging unit 300 is disposed below the first imaging unit 100, and the second imaging unit 300 can rotate horizontally relative to the first imaging unit 100;

[0124] The circuit board 210;

[0125] The fixing member 220 includes a horizontally bent section 221 and a vertically bent section 222. The horizontally bent section 221 is configured to support the circuit board 210.

The vertically bent section 222 includes a notch 223 extending along the height direction and a wire passing opening 224. The wire passing opening 224 is adjacent to the bending portion of the horizontally bent section 221 and the vertically bent section 222 and is used for passing a first cable 630 electrically connected to the second imaging unit 300;

[0126] The first driving device 400 is disposed inside the fuselage 110 and configured to drive the second lens assembly 320 to rotate horizontally. The first driving device 400 includes a gear shaft 410 having a first transmission tooth 411 extending along the transverse direction of the multi-camera;

[0127] The gear shaft 410 is disposed at the notch 223 and the axis of the gear shaft 410 does not extend out of the vertical section 222, so that a part of the first transmission tooth 411 extends out of the vertical section 222 and the other part does not extend out of the vertical section 222, thereby determining the height of the first imaging unit 100 by the mounting post 115, the fixing member 220 and the circuit board 210.

[0128] In this application, the fixing member 220 can optimize the layout of the components in the fuselage 110, thereby reducing the installation space in the fuselage 110 occupied by the components, and further reducing the volume of the multi-camera.

[0129] In an alternative embodiment, the circuit board 210 extends horizontally based on the horizontal section 221, the length of the circuit board 210 is greater than the length of the horizontal section 221, and the part of the circuit board 210 that extends out of the horizontal section 221 and faces the lower cover 111 is used to arrange one or more electronic components: wire pair sockets and / or POE power devices, so that the electronic components avoid the gear shaft 410, and further, after the circuit board 210 and the fixing member 220 are assembled, the height is determined by the vertical section 222 and the height of the electronic components arranged on the part of the circuit board 210 facing the fuselage 110. Optionally, the wire pair socket can be a power pair socket, an alarm pair socket, a speaker pair socket, a motor pair socket, a serial port pair socket, etc.; the POE power device can be a large-size capacitor, a transformer, etc. In this embodiment, the circuit board 210 has a first surface facing the horizontal section 221 and a second surface opposite to the first surface. The electronic components are not arranged on the part of the first surface opposite to the horizontal section 221, but are arranged on the part of the first surface offset from the horizontal section 221 and the second surface, so as to reduce the height of the circuit board 210, make the height of the fuselage 110 smaller, and further reduce the volume of the multi-camera.

[0130] An embodiment of this application also discloses a multi-camera, including:

[0131] A first imaging unit 100, the first imaging unit 100 includes a fuselage 110 and a first lens assembly 120 built in the fuselage 110;

[0132] A second imaging unit 300, the second imaging unit 300 is stacked below the fuselage 110, and the second imaging unit 300 includes a second lens assembly 320;

[0133] The first imaging unit 100 includes:

[0134] A circuit board assembly 200, the circuit board assembly 200 is disposed in the fuselage 110, the circuit board assembly 200 includes a circuit board 210 and a fixing member 220, the fixing member 220 includes a horizontally bent horizontal section 221 and a vertical section 222, the circuit board 210 is horizontally stacked above the horizontal section 221, and a notch 223 is provided on the vertical section 222;

[0135] A first driving device 400, which is disposed in the body 110. The first driving device 400 includes a gear shaft 410 disposed below the notch 223 and having first transmission teeth 411 in the circumferential direction, and a motor having second transmission teeth 421. The gear shaft 410 is fastened to the second camera unit 300, so that the meshing force between the first transmission teeth 411 and the second transmission teeth 421 can drive the second camera unit 300 to rotate horizontally around the axis of the gear shaft 410;

[0136] A first cable 630, one end of the first cable 630 is connected to the portion of the circuit board 210 extending out of the vertical section 222, and the other end of the first cable 630 is connected to the second lens assembly 320 via the notch 223;

[0137] The second cable 670 has one end connected to a portion of the circuit board 210 that does not extend out of the vertical section 222, and the other end connected to the motor; specifically, the vertical section 222 can separate the first cable 630 and the second cable 670, thereby optimizing the circuit layout in the fuselage 110.

[0138] The wire blocking member 700 is disposed above the motor and adjacent to the first transmission tooth 411. The wire blocking member 700 has a built-in wire blocking space 730 and an opening 740 facing the first transmission tooth 411, thereby covering the second transmission tooth 421 of the motor, so that during the horizontal rotation of the second camera unit 300, the second cable 670 avoids the first transmission tooth 411 and the second transmission tooth 421 due to the wire blocking member 700. In the present embodiment, the multi-eye camera further includes a wire blocking member 700, and the wire blocking member 700 can cover the second transmission tooth 421 of the motor, so that the wire blocking member 700 can prevent the second cable 670 from contacting the second transmission tooth 421, thereby reducing the risk of the second cable 670 being caught in the meshing area of ​​the first transmission tooth 411 and the second transmission tooth 421 and being damaged.

[0139] In an optional embodiment, the wire blocking member 700 includes a first wire blocking portion 710 and a support portion 720, the support portion 720 is connected to the first wire blocking portion 710 and extends downward, the support portion 720 is annular, and an opening 740 is provided on the support portion 720, and the first wire blocking portion 710 and the support portion 720 jointly form a wire blocking space 730. Optionally, the cross-section of the support portion 720 can be c-shaped, n-shaped, u-shaped, etc. In this embodiment, the side of the support portion 720 has no other open ends except the opening 740, so the support portion 720 can block all cables located on the side of the second transmission tooth 421 to prevent the cables located on the side of the second transmission tooth 421 from contacting the second transmission tooth 421.

[0140] In an alternative embodiment, the first lens assembly 120 is located on a side of the vertical section 222 away from the horizontal section 221. The gear shaft 410 and the first driving source 420 are spaced apart in a first direction. There is a first included angle between the first direction and a second direction, where the second direction is the direction extending from the first lens assembly 120 to the gear shaft 410, and the second direction is orthogonal to the central axis of the gear shaft 410. It should be noted that the first direction here is Figure 23 the direction indicated by the y-arrow line in, and the second direction here is Figure 23 the direction indicated by the x-arrow line in; and in this embodiment, the gear shaft 410 and the first driving source 420 are spaced apart in the first direction, and there is a first included angle between the first direction and the second direction. In this embodiment, in the direction indicated by the x-arrow line, the overall length of the assembled gear shaft 410 and the first driving source 420 is small, so that the length of the fuselage 110 in the direction indicated by the x-arrow line can be compressed.

[0141] Furthermore, the first included angle is less than 90° or greater than 90°. This embodiment can prevent the gear shaft 410 and the first driving source 420 from being spaced apart in a third direction, where the third direction is perpendicular to the second direction and the central axis of the gear shaft 410 respectively. In this way, the width of the overall assembly of the gear shaft 410 and the first driving source 420 in the third direction can be reduced, and further the width of the fuselage 110 in the third direction can be compressed.

[0142] In an alternative embodiment, the second imaging unit further includes a bottom case. The second lens assembly is pivotally disposed within the bottom case, and the rotation axis of the second lens assembly is parallel to the horizontal direction. The aperture value of the second lens assembly is F1.0, and the total length is 21 mm. The distance between the end face of the end of the second lens assembly near its light incident side and the rotation axis is 6 mm to 8 mm. In this embodiment, the distance between the viewpoint of the second lens assembly 320 and the end of the second lens assembly 320 near the light incident side is 7 mm. If the distance between the end face of the end of the second lens assembly 320 near its light incident side and the rotation axis is less than 6 mm, the position of the central axis will shift too much to the right. At this time, the central axis is located on the right side of the viewpoint, and the distance between the central axis and the viewpoint is relatively large. When the second lens assembly 320 is not rotating, the viewpoint and the rotation axis are located on the same horizontal plane. During the rotation of the second lens assembly 320, the viewpoint will move upward or downward. At this time, the horizontal plane where the viewpoint is located and the horizontal plane where the rotation axis is located are not coplanar, and the distance between them is relatively large. The bottom case 310 may block the viewing range corresponding to the viewing angle, resulting in a smaller viewing range. In this case, only the size of the light transmissive opening can be increased, but this will also increase the size of the bottom case 310, thereby increasing the volume of the multi-camera. Similarly, if the distance between the end face of the end of the second lens assembly 320 near its light incident side and the rotation axis is greater than 8 mm, the position of the central axis will shift too much to the left. During the rotation of the second lens assembly 320, the viewpoint will move upward or downward. At this time, the horizontal plane where the viewpoint is located and the horizontal plane where the rotation axis is located are not coplanar, and the distance between them is relatively large. The bottom case 310 may also block the viewing range, resulting in a smaller viewing range. In the embodiment of the present application, the distance between the end face of the end of the second lens assembly near its light incident side and the rotation axis is controlled to be 6 mm to 8 mm, which can make the viewpoint disposed adjacent to the rotation axis, or even make the viewpoint located on the rotation axis. During the rotation of the second lens assembly 320, the distance that the viewpoint moves upward or downward is relatively small, or even does not move upward or downward (when the viewpoint is located on the rotation axis). At this time, the distance between the horizontal plane where the viewpoint is located and the horizontal plane where the rotation axis is located is relatively small, or even coplanar. In this way, the risk of the bottom case 310 blocking the viewing range can be reduced, thereby solving the problem of increasing the size of the light transmissive opening and the volume of the multi-camera.

[0143] Alternatively, the aperture value of the second lens assembly is F1.0, the total length is 30 mm, and the distance between the end face of one end of the second lens assembly 320 close to its light incident side and the rotation axis is 10 mm to 12 mm. The viewing point of the second lens assembly 320 in this embodiment is 11 mm away from the end of the second lens assembly 320 close to the light incident side. Similarly, in this embodiment, the distance between the end face of one end of the second lens assembly 320 close to its light incident side and the rotation axis is controlled within 10 mm to 12 mm, which can make the viewing point be arranged adjacent to the rotation axis, and even make the viewing point located on the rotation axis. During the rotation of the second lens assembly 320, the distance that the viewing point moves upward or downward is small, or even does not move upward or downward (when the viewing point is located on the rotation axis). At this time, the distance between the horizontal plane where the viewing point is located and the horizontal plane where the rotation axis is located is small, or even coplanar. In this way, the risk of the bottom shell 310 blocking the viewing field range can be reduced, and further the problems of increasing the size of the light transmission port and the volume of the multi-camera can be solved.

[0144] In the above embodiments of the present application, the differences between the embodiments are mainly described.
