Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to doorbell mounting bases; in particular, it refers to a doorbell mounting base and doorbell assembly with an adjustable flip angle. Background Technology

[0002] It is known that existing doorbells generally include an inside unit and an outside unit. When a visitor arrives, they can press a button on the outside unit to generate a notification message to notify the people inside the house. The visitor and the people inside the house can communicate through the outside unit and the inside unit respectively. After the people inside the house confirm the visitor's identity, they can further send a signal to the access control device at the door through the inside unit to unlock the door.

[0003] With the development and advancement of technology, most doorbells are equipped with a camera on the door unit to capture images of visitors outside the door, allowing people inside to more accurately identify them. However, the camera is usually fixed to the doorbell itself. This means that once the user mounts the doorbell on a surface such as a wall using a mounting bracket, the direction and angle of the camera are fixed according to the doorbell's installation location. Users cannot adjust the camera's position based on their needs or the installation surface, leading to limitations in doorbell placement or the camera's angle or direction not meeting user requirements. Therefore, existing doorbell mounting brackets still need improvement. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a doorbell mounting base and doorbell assembly that can adjust the flip angle of the doorbell.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a doorbell mounting base for mounting on a mounting surface and connecting a doorbell, comprising a mounting part, a telescopic part, and a connecting part. The mounting part is connected to the mounting surface; the telescopic part is connected to the mounting part, and the telescopic part and the mounting surface are respectively located on opposite sides of the mounting part. The telescopic part can be extended or retracted relative to the mounting part under force, and the telescopic part includes a first telescopic segment and a second telescopic segment; the connecting part connects the telescopic part and the doorbell on opposite sides respectively; wherein, when the first telescopic segment is extended or retracted relative to the mounting part under force, the telescopic part can drive the connecting part and the doorbell to rotate around a first axis; when the second telescopic segment is extended or retracted relative to the mounting part under force, the telescopic part can drive the connecting part and the doorbell to rotate around a second axis, wherein the first axis and the second axis are not parallel.

[0006] The present invention also provides a doorbell assembly, comprising the doorbell mounting base and a doorbell, the doorbell comprising a body and an image capturing unit, the body having a front side and a rear side facing away from each other, the image capturing unit being disposed on the front side, and the rear side of the body being connected to the connecting portion.

[0007] The advantage of this invention is that, through the technical feature that the telescopic part drives the connecting part and the doorbell to rotate around the first axis or around the second axis, the user can adjust the rotation angle of the doorbell on two different axes as needed. In this way, the image capturing unit can adjust its shooting direction as the body of the doorbell rotates. Attached Figure Description

[0021] To more clearly illustrate the present invention, preferred embodiments are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Please refer to... Figures 1 to 13 As shown, this is a doorbell assembly 1 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the doorbell assembly 1 includes a doorbell 10 and a doorbell mounting base 20. The doorbell 10 includes a body 12 and an image capturing unit 14. The body 12 has a front side 121 and a rear side 122 facing each other. The image capturing unit 14 is disposed on the front side 121. The rear side 122 of the body 12 is connected to a connecting portion 22 of the doorbell mounting base 20. The image capturing unit 14 is used to capture, for example, the facial image of a visitor outside the door, and output the captured image signal to a display device for people to view and identify.

[0022] In this embodiment, the rear side 122 of the body 12 and the connecting part 22 are connected by a snap-fit ​​mechanism. In practice, the rear side 122 of the body 12 and the connecting part 22 can be connected to each other in any way. For example, the rear side 122 of the body 12 and the connecting part 22 can also be connected to each other by a snap-fit ​​or a slot, or by mutual gluing, or by a fastener such as a screw. The connection method shown in this embodiment is not limited to the connection method shown in this embodiment.

[0023] Please cooperate. Figure 4 and Figure 5 The doorbell mounting base 20 is disposed on a mounting surface S. The doorbell mounting base 20 includes a mounting portion 24, a telescopic portion 26, and a connecting portion 22. The mounting portion 24 is connected to the mounting surface S. In this embodiment, the mounting portion 24 is as follows: Figure 6 The device shown has multiple through holes 241 and a wire hole 242. The through holes 241 are for corresponding screws to be inserted, so that the mounting part 24 can be locked to the mounting surface S, such as a wall, by the screws. The wire hole 242 allows a transmission line or wire on the back side of the mounting surface S to pass through and connect to the doorbell 10. The telescopic part 26 is connected to the mounting part 24, and the telescopic part 26 and the mounting surface S are respectively located on opposite sides of the mounting part 24. The connecting part 22 connects the telescopic part 26 and the doorbell 10 on opposite sides.

[0024] in, Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the telescopic part 26 can extend or retract relative to the mounting part 24 under force. The telescopic part 26 includes a first telescopic section 261 and a second telescopic section 262. When the first telescopic section 261 is subjected to force and extends or retracts relative to the mounting part 24, the telescopic part 26 can drive the connecting part 22 and the doorbell 10 to rotate about a first axis X. When the second telescopic section 262 is subjected to force and extends or retracts relative to the mounting part 24, the telescopic part 26 can drive the connecting part 22 and the doorbell 10 to rotate about a second axis Y. The first axis X and the second axis Y are as follows: Figure 1 The diagram shows a non-parallel setup. This allows the image capturing unit 14 to adjust its camera direction as the body 12 of the doorbell 10 flips, enabling the user to adjust the flip angle of the doorbell 10 along two different axes as needed.

[0025] In this embodiment, the first axis X is perpendicular to the second axis Y. In other embodiments, the first axis X and the second axis Y may not be perpendicular. Furthermore, the telescopic portion is a rounded rectangle.

[0026] Please reply. Figure 2 The first telescopic section 261 includes a top telescopic section 261a and a bottom telescopic section 261b disposed opposite to each other. The top telescopic section and the bottom telescopic section are respectively disposed at the top and bottom positions adjacent to the doorbell 10. The second telescopic section 262 includes a right telescopic section 262a and a left telescopic section 262b disposed opposite to each other. The left telescopic section 262b and the right telescopic section 262a are respectively disposed at the left and right positions adjacent to the doorbell 10. The top telescopic section 261a, the bottom telescopic section 261b, the left telescopic section 262b and the right telescopic section 262a together surround to form the telescopic part 26.

[0027] In this way, when the user applies an external force to the top telescopic section 261a in a direction opposite to the mounting surface S, the top telescopic section 261a can move as follows: Figure 6 The folded state shown is extended relative to the mounting portion 24 to the point where... Figure 9 The extended state shown causes the connecting part 22 and the doorbell 10 to rotate downwards about the first axis X, thereby adjusting the imaging direction of the image capturing unit 14 downwards. Similarly, when the user applies an external force to the bottom telescopic section 261b away from the mounting surface S, the bottom telescopic section 261b can move freely. Figure 6 The folded state shown is extended relative to the mounting portion 24 to the point where... Figure 10The elongated state shown in the figure causes the connecting part 22 and the doorbell 10 to rotate upward about the first axis, thereby adjusting the imaging direction of the image capturing unit 14 upward.

[0028] Furthermore, when the user applies an external force to the right telescopic section 262a in a direction opposite to the mounting surface S, the right telescopic section 262a can move freely. Figure 11 The folded state shown is extended relative to the mounting portion 24 to the point where... Figure 12 The extended state shown causes the connecting part 22 and the doorbell 10 to rotate to the left about the second axis Y, thereby allowing the imaging direction of the image capturing unit 14 to be adjusted to the left. Similarly, when the user applies an external force to the left telescopic section 262b away from the mounting surface, the left telescopic section 262b can move freely. Figure 11 The folded state shown is extended relative to the mounting portion 24 to the point where... Figure 13 The extended state shown causes the connecting part 22 and the doorbell 10 to rotate to the right around the second axis Y, thereby adjusting the shooting direction of the image capturing unit 14 to the right. In this way, the shooting range of the image capturing unit 14 can be adjusted to match the mounting surface S with various tilt degrees to achieve the best shooting angle.

[0029] Conversely, when the top telescopic section 261a, the bottom telescopic section 261b, the left telescopic section 262b, or the right telescopic section 262a is in an extended state, the user can apply an external force in the direction of the mounting surface S to the top telescopic section 261a, the bottom telescopic section 261b, the left telescopic section 262b, or the right telescopic section 262a, causing the top telescopic section 261a, the bottom telescopic section 261b, the left telescopic section 262b, or the right telescopic section 262a to return to the retracted state. In other embodiments, it is not excluded that the first telescopic section 261 may contain only one of the top telescopic section 261a and the bottom telescopic section 261b, and the second telescopic section 262 may contain only one of the left telescopic section 262b and the right telescopic section 262a.

[0030] Furthermore, the telescopic portion 26 is made of an elastic and bendable material. For example, the telescopic portion 26 can be made of high-hardness silicone, allowing it to stably maintain its extended state when stretched. The connecting portion 22 and the mounting portion 24 can be made of plastic. In this embodiment, the telescopic portion 26, the connecting portion 22, and the mounting portion 24 are integrally molded components produced by dual-material injection molding, which reduces the number of parts and simplifies the assembly process. In addition, in this embodiment, the connection points between the top telescopic section 261a and the right telescopic section 262a and the left telescopic section 262b are arc-shaped, and the connection points between the bottom telescopic section 261b and the left telescopic section 262b and the right telescopic section 262a are also arc-shaped. This prevents the telescopic portion 26 from breaking or deteriorating after repeated operation.

[0031] like Figure 6 and Figure 11 As shown, the first telescopic segment 261 and the second telescopic segment 262 each include a plurality of folds 2611, and the folds 2611 are interconnected. When the first telescopic segment 261 or the second telescopic segment 262 retracts relative to the mounting portion 24, the plurality of folds 2611 of the first telescopic segment 261 or the second telescopic segment 262 are folded; when the first telescopic segment 261 or the second telescopic segment 262 extends relative to the mounting portion 24, the plurality of folds 2611 of the first telescopic segment 261 or the second telescopic segment 262 are unfolded. Figure 9 and Figure 11 The diameter of the telescopic part 26 shown in the figure decreases from the connection between the telescopic part 26 and the connecting part 22 toward the connection between the telescopic part 26 and the mounting part 24. In this way, when the plurality of folds 2611 of the first telescopic section 261 or the second telescopic section 262 are folded, the folds 2611 located away from the connecting part 22 can be accommodated to the inside of the folds 2611 located close to the connecting part 22.

[0032] In this embodiment, the example is taken as the plurality of folds 2611 of the first telescopic segment 261 or the second telescopic segment 262 being fully unfolded or fully folded. In practice, more interconnected folds 2611 can also be provided in the first telescopic segment 261 or the second telescopic segment 262. In this way, when the plurality of folds 2611 of the first telescopic segment 261 or the second telescopic segment 262 are partially unfolded, the first telescopic segment 261 and the second telescopic segment 262 can respectively drive the connecting part and the doorbell 10 to rotate by a first rotation angle and a second rotation angle. When the plurality of folds 2611 of the first telescopic segment 261 or the second telescopic segment 262 are fully unfolded, the first telescopic segment 261 and the second telescopic segment 262 can respectively drive the connecting part 22 and the doorbell 10 to rotate by a first angle and a second angle. The first angle is greater than the first rotation angle, and the second angle is greater than the second rotation angle, thereby providing different rotation angles for the user to choose from.

[0033] In this embodiment, the extension of one of the top telescopic section 261a, the bottom telescopic section 261b, the right telescopic section 262a, or the left telescopic section 262b, while the others are retracted, is used as an example. In practice, when the first telescopic section 261a and the second telescopic section 262b are subjected to force and simultaneously extend relative to the mounting portion 24, the telescopic portion 26 can drive the connecting portion 22 and the doorbell 10 to rotate around a third axis, and this third axis is different from the first axis X and the second axis Y. For example, when the user wants to rotate the doorbell 10 to the right and upward simultaneously, an external force can be applied to the bottom telescopic section 261b and the left telescopic section 262b in a direction opposite to the mounting surface S, causing the bottom telescopic section 261b and the left telescopic section 262b to extend, thereby driving the connecting portion 22 and the doorbell 10 to rotate to the right and upward simultaneously. This provides different rotation directions for the user to choose from.

[0034] In summary, the advantage of this invention is that, through the technical feature that the telescopic part 26 drives the connecting part 22 and the doorbell 10 to rotate around the first axis X or the second axis Y, the user can adjust the rotation angle of the doorbell 10 in two different axes as needed. In this way, the image capturing unit 14 can adjust its shooting direction as the body 12 of the doorbell 10 rotates.
