Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of parking lot equipment, and particularly relates to an installation device for a parking lot monitoring camera. Background Art
[0002] A parking lot is an important service facility in urban transportation. Improving the parking environment and meeting the needs of parkers is one of the manifestations of humanized management. It is estimated that in the high-temperature season, the temperature inside the vehicle under the shade of trees can be reduced by 20-30 °C compared with that under direct sunlight, significantly improving the riding environment of passengers. In the central urban areas of big cities, it is very unlikely to build a large area of greenery. Scientific greening transformation of the parking lots therein is also an effective way to increase the greening coverage rate.
[0003] Currently, in outdoor parking lots in cities, it is often necessary to install a relatively large number of cameras to monitor the parking lot road surface in real time through the cameras. In the prior art, in order to facilitate the installation of cameras in the parking lot, some cameras are installed on the upper end of a column erected on the ground, while some cameras are installed on the tree trunks in the parking lot. When connecting the camera to the tree trunk, screws are often drilled into the tree trunk after passing through the base of the camera. However, the screw installation method often damages the structure of the tree trunk, and the screw will also be squeezed during the growth of the tree trunk, which is likely to cause the screw to fall off, ultimately affecting the stable installation of the camera on the tree trunk. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an installation device for a parking lot monitoring camera, which is conducive to the stable installation of the camera on the tree trunk.
[0005] The above technical purpose of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions: An installation device for a parking lot monitoring camera includes a hanging bracket in an inverted U shape with an upper end for embedding in the tree fork, an installation ring located at the lower end of the hanging bracket with an inner diameter larger than the outer diameter of the tree trunk, and a base located on the installation ring for installing the camera. A height adjustment member is provided between the installation ring and the hanging bracket for adjusting the height of the installation ring on the hanging bracket. Pressing plates for pressing on the installation ring are provided on the lower sides of both ends of the base. Through holes are opened at the ends of the pressing plates far from the base. A locking bolt passing through the two through holes and locked with a locking nut is provided at the end of the base. An inverted L-shaped support arm is provided on the installation ring at the position of the base. The upper end of the support arm is embedded between the installation ring and the base, and the lower end abuts against the outer wall of the tree trunk. A pressing member for driving the support arm to abut tightly against the outer wall of the tree trunk is provided between the base and the support arm. A plurality of elastic plates with lower ends for abutting against the outer wall of the tree trunk are further provided on the circumferential side of the installation ring. The plurality of elastic plates are evenly spaced along the circumferential side of the installation ring. Elastic buckles for embedding the installation ring are provided at the upper ends of the elastic plates.
[0006] The further setting of the present invention is that the height adjusting member includes sliding sleeves arranged on both sides of the mounting ring and respectively allowing the two ends of the hanging bracket to pass through, internal threaded sleeves arranged on the sliding sleeves and communicating with the inside of the sliding sleeves, and adjusting bolts threadedly connected inside the internal threaded sleeves and having ends for tightly pressing against the hanging bracket.
[0007] The further setting of the present invention is that the pressing member includes guiding sleeves arranged on both sides of the upper end of the support arm, an internal threaded tube arranged in the middle of the upper end of the support arm, a fixing plate arranged on the side of the base away from the support arm, guiding columns arranged at both ends of the fixing plate and used for being embedded in the guiding sleeves, and a threaded shaft circumferentially rotatably connected and axially fixedly connected to the fixing plate and threadedly connected inside the internal threaded tube.
[0008] The further setting of the present invention is that a mounting hole for the threaded shaft to pass through is formed in the middle of the fixing plate, an annular groove is arranged on the inner wall of the circumferential side of the mounting hole, and a snap ring embedded in the annular groove is arranged on the outer wall of the circumferential side of the threaded shaft.
[0009] The further setting of the present invention is that an anti-slip knob is arranged at one end of the threaded shaft away from the internal threaded tube.
[0010] The further setting of the present invention is that the elastic buckle includes a connecting portion connected to the upper end of the elastic plate, and clamping arms located on both the upper and lower sides of the connecting portion and inclined towards the side close to each other.
[0011] The further setting of the present invention is that a guiding portion bent outwards is arranged at one end of the clamping arm away from the connecting portion.
[0012] The further setting of the present invention is that gooseneck tubes are arranged on both sides of the upper end of the hanging bracket.
[0013] In summary, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] 1. When it is necessary to install a camera on a tree trunk, first embed the upper end of the hanging bracket into the tree fork at the upper end of the tree trunk, and then use the height adjusting member to connect the mounting ring to a suitable height at the lower end of the hanging bracket. At this time, the height of the base can be positioned; wherein, according to the need of the camera position, move the base along the circumferential side of the mounting ring to a suitable position, and then use the locking bolt to pass through the through holes on the two pressing plates and tighten with the locking nut, and the base can be fixed on the mounting ring. At this time, the position of the base relative to the mounting ring can be positioned;
[0015] Meanwhile, embed the upper end of the support arm at the position between the mounting ring and the base, and then use the pressing member to drive the lower end of the support arm to tightly press against the outer wall of the tree trunk. Among them, the upper ends of multiple elastic plates are embedded by elastic buckles for the mounting ring, and the lower ends tightly press against the outer wall of the tree trunk. At this time, the distance between the base and the outer wall of the tree trunk can be positioned, and finally, the stable installation of the camera on the tree trunk can be facilitated;
[0016] Among them, when the tree trunk thickens with the growth of the tree age, due to the support arm between the base and the outer wall of the tree trunk, the distance between the base and the outer wall of the tree trunk will not change; because the elastic plate itself has elasticity, the expanding tree trunk can act on the elastic plate, causing the elastic plate to undergo elastic deformation. At the same time, since the center of the tree trunk changes within the mounting ring, the hanging bracket will also swing slightly; at this time, while ensuring the stable installation of the camera, the situation of the tree trunk being damaged can be avoided;
[0017] Without the existence of the support arm, relying only on multiple elastic plates to tightly press against the outer wall of the tree trunk. After the camera is installed on one side of the mounting ring, due to the relatively large gravity of the camera itself, a relatively large downward bending force will be exerted on one side of the mounting ring by the camera. Eventually, the mounting ring itself may bend, which is not conducive to the stable installation of the camera on the mounting ring;
[0018] 2. When it is necessary to connect the mounting ring at different heights at the lower end of the hanging bracket, pass the sliding sleeves on both sides of the mounting ring through the two ends of the hanging bracket respectively. At this time, the mounting ring can move up and down along the hanging bracket by using the sliding sleeves. After the mounting ring moves to the appropriate height, rotate the adjusting bolt so that the end of the adjusting bolt tightly presses against the hanging bracket. Finally, the height positioning of the mounting ring on the hanging bracket can be completed;
[0019] 3. When it is necessary to drive the lower end of the support arm to tightly press against the outer wall of the tree trunk, pass the guide post through the guide sleeve. At the same time, the threaded shaft is threadedly connected to the internal threaded tube. Since the threaded shaft is circumferentially rotatably connected and axially fixedly connected to the fixing plate, with the rotation of the threaded shaft, the support arm can move toward or away from the outer wall of the tree trunk. Finally, it is convenient to drive the lower end of the support arm to tightly press against the outer wall of the tree trunk;
[0020] 4. Embed the snap ring on the circumferential side of the threaded shaft into the annular groove on the circumferential side of the mounting hole. At this time, the threaded shaft can rotate circumferentially in the mounting hole, but due to the cooperation of the snap ring and the card slot, the threaded shaft cannot move along the axial direction;
[0021] 5. The threaded shaft can be rotated relatively conveniently through the anti-slip knob;
[0022] 6. The clamping arms on the upper and lower sides of the connecting part are inclined toward the side close to each other. After the two clamping arms undergo elastic deformation, they can be stably clamped on the mounting ring;
[0023] 7. By providing a guiding portion that bends outwardly at one end of the clamping arm away from the connecting portion, the guiding portion can play a guiding role in the clamping between the clamping arm and the mounting ring, which is conducive to the rapid and smooth clamping and fixing of the clamping arm to the mounting ring.
[0024] 8. When the hanging rack needs to swing, gooseneck tubes are provided on both sides of the upper end of the hanging rack. Since the gooseneck tubes are metal parts that can be bent arbitrarily and have their directions determined, it is convenient for the hanging rack to swing. Description of the Drawings

[0039] Principle: When it is necessary to install a camera on the tree trunk, first embed the upper end of the hanging bracket 1 into the tree branch at the upper end of the tree trunk, and then use the sliding sleeve 41 and the adjusting bolt 43 to connect the mounting ring 2 to a suitable height at the lower end of the hanging bracket 1. At this time, the height of the base 3 can be positioned; according to the need of the camera position, move the base 3 along the circumferential side of the mounting ring 2 to a suitable position, and then use the locking bolt 32 to pass through the through holes 311 on the two pressing plates 31 and tighten with the locking nut 33, and the base 3 can be fixed on the mounting ring 2. At this time, the position of the base 3 relative to the mounting ring 2 can be positioned.
[0040] At the same time, embed the upper end of the support arm 5 at the position between the mounting ring 2 and the base 3, and then rotate the threaded shaft 65 through the anti-slip knob 652, so as to drive the lower end of the support arm 5 to abut against the outer wall of the tree trunk. The upper ends of the plurality of elastic plates 7 are used for the mounting ring 2 to be inserted through the elastic buckles 71 and the lower ends abut against the outer wall of the tree trunk. At this time, the distance between the base 3 and the outer wall of the tree trunk can be positioned, and finally the stable installation of the camera on the tree trunk can be facilitated.
[0041] When the tree trunk thickens as the tree ages, since there is a support arm 5 between the base 3 and the outer wall of the tree trunk, the distance between the base 3 and the outer wall of the tree trunk will not change; because of the elasticity of the elastic plate 7 itself, the expanding tree trunk can act on the elastic plate 7, causing the elastic plate 7 to undergo elastic deformation. At the same time, since the center of the tree trunk changes within the mounting ring 2, the hanging bracket 1 will also swing slightly; at this time, while ensuring the stable installation of the camera, the situation where the tree trunk is damaged can be avoided.
[0042] This specific embodiment is only an explanation of the present invention, and it is not a limitation of the present invention. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment without creative contributions as needed, but as long as it is within the scope of the claims of the present invention, it is protected by the patent law.
