Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of smart cameras, and in particular to an installation structure and installation method for a smart camera. Background Technology

[0002] Smart cameras can identify objects or people through the photos they capture. When installing a smart camera, the shooting angle should be straight to make the image processing process easier and reduce image processing errors caused by the camera's angle deviation.

[0003] A related technology discloses a camera mounting bracket, including a mounting base with a fixing screw connected to it, the fixing screw facing downwards. The mounting base is used to fix it to a wall or ceiling. A lifting sleeve is movably fitted onto the fixing screw. Positioning nuts are provided at the upper and lower ends of the lifting sleeve on the fixing screw. A diagonal brace is connected to the side wall of the lifting sleeve, and an angle mounting plate is installed at the other end of the diagonal brace. An angle adjustment plate is movably connected to the angle mounting plate via an angle-adjustable connecting mechanism, and a camera is fixed on the angle adjustment plate. In use, the height of the camera can be adjusted via the lifting sleeve, the tilt angle of the camera can be adjusted via the adjustable connecting mechanism, and the orientation of the camera can be adjusted by rotating the lifting sleeve relative to the fixing screw.

[0004] However, the mounting base in the above structure is not level, and the fixing screw may be tilted, which may cause the camera to be unable to be adjusted to the correct position. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to correctly install the camera in an uneven installation location, this application provides an installation structure and installation method for a smart camera.

[0006] This application provides an installation structure for a smart camera, employing the following technical solution: A mounting structure for a smart camera includes a mounting base with multiple adjusting screws and bolt holes. The adjusting screws are threaded into the bolt holes and pass through the mounting base. The protruding side of the adjusting screws on the mounting base is used to abut against the mounting position. The mounting base is also provided with a screw for mounting the camera.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, when in use, the mounting base has a screw for mounting the camera. The screw is relatively long, and the levelness of the mounting base affects the verticality of the screw. Therefore, when connecting the mounting base to the installation position, by rotating the adjusting screw, one end of the adjusting screw protrudes from the mounting base and abuts against the installation position. Then, the level of the mounting base is adjusted by adjusting the length of the protruding length of multiple adjusting screws so that the mounting base can adapt to uneven installation positions, thereby correctly installing the camera.

[0008] Preferably, the mounting base is elongated and has mounting holes along its length. An extension arm is provided in the mounting holes. A fixing component for fixing the extension arm is provided on the mounting base. The screw is connected to the end of the extension arm away from the mounting base.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the mounting base has a mounting hole, and the extension arm is slidably connected in the mounting hole, so that the extension arm can be adjusted in the length direction of the mounting hole. This allows the screw to be connected to the extension arm for suspending the camera in a cantilever state, so as to adapt to different installation occasions.

[0010] Preferably, the mounting base is elongated and has mounting holes along its length. The mounting holes have a rectangular cross-section. Two tapered holes are symmetrically arranged at the center of the mounting base. The mounting holes penetrate through the middle of the tapered holes. A connector is provided inside the mounting holes, and the screw is mounted on the connector.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the mounting hole is set with a rectangular cross-section and passes through the position of two conical holes. When the connector is set in the conical hole, the extension arm can be removed, and the screw for connecting the camera can be installed using the connector, so that the middle position of the mounting base can be used to install the camera.

[0012] Preferably, the mounting base has a T-shaped cross-section, shoulders are formed on both sides of the mounting base, pressure plates are provided on both sides of the mounting base to be fixed at the installation position, and a step is provided on the side of the pressure plate near the mounting base, with the step of the pressure plate abutting against the shoulder.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the shoulder of the mounting base is abutted by two pressure plates. Since the mounting base is horizontal, the pressure plates only need to press the mounting base tightly, and the horizontality of the pressure plates does not affect the horizontality of the mounting base, thus facilitating the installation of the mounting base. At the same time, the pressure plates can fix the mounting base in the installation position of different materials.

[0014] Preferably, the downward projection of the entire structure formed by the mounting base and the two pressure plates is circular.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the mounting base and the two pressure plates are connected in a circular shape, giving the mounting base and pressure plates more diverse shapes to adapt to different installation occasions.

[0016] Preferably, the extension arm has multiple positioning holes spaced apart along its length. The fixing assembly includes pressure strips, pressure heads, pressure rods, and locking nuts. The mounting base has an elongated hole parallel to the extension arm. Two pressure strips are provided and used to abut against the sidewall of the elongated hole. The pressure head is tapered, and inclined surfaces are provided on the opposite sidewalls of the two pressure strips. The tapered surface of the pressure head abuts against the inclined surface. The pressure rod is fixed to the pressure head and passes through the positioning hole to be threadedly connected to the locking nut.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, when the pressure rod is inserted into a positioning hole, the approximate position of the extension arm relative to the mounting base is defined. Then, by moving the fixing component along the length of the elongated hole, the position of the extension arm relative to the mounting base can be adjusted. At the same time, when the pressure head is tightened by the locking nut on the pressure rod, the pressure head presses the two pressure strips against the inner wall of the elongated hole, so that the extension arm is fixed relative to the mounting base.

[0018] Preferably, the end of the pressure rod connected to the locking nut has a hexagonal hole for mounting a wrench.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, a hexagonal hole is opened at the end of the pressure rod connecting the locking nut. By inserting a wrench into the hexagonal hole and then rotating the locking nut, the locking nut can be easily tightened.

[0020] Preferably, one end of the connector is configured as a conical head that mates with the conical hole, the middle part of the connector is configured as a cylindrical part, an anti-rotation block is provided on the side wall at the connection between the cylindrical part and the conical head, the position where the conical hole intersects with the mounting hole forms a positioning surface for fitting against the side wall of the anti-rotation block, and the screw is threadedly connected to the center position of the connector.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, when the connector is inserted into the tapered hole, the cone head cooperates with the tapered hole to prevent the connector from falling out of the tapered hole. At the same time, the anti-rotation block abuts against the positioning surface, so that the connector and the mounting base cannot rotate relative to each other, thus making it easier for the screw to be threaded onto the connector.

[0022] Preferably, a spring is provided at the end of the connector away from the screw, with one end of the spring abutting against the connector and the other end abutting against the installation position.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, one end of the spring on the connector abuts against the connector, so that the spring force presses the connector tightly, so as to prevent the connector from moving up and down due to the leveling of the mounting base, which would affect the image drawing of the camera.

[0024] This application provides a method for installing a smart camera, employing the following technical solution: A method for installing a smart camera includes placing a mounting base in the installation position, adjusting the level of the mounting base by adjusting screws, filling adhesive between the mounting base and the installation position, and then connecting a screw to the mounting base.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, the mounting base is first placed in the installation position, and then the mounting base is adjusted to be level by adjusting the screws. Adhesive is then filled between the mounting base and the installation position so that the mounting base is connected to the installation position by adhesive or the gap between the mounting base and the installation position is filled by adhesive to ensure the levelness of the mounting base.

[0026] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. When connecting the mounting base to the installation position, turn the adjusting screw so that one end of the adjusting screw protrudes from the mounting base and abuts against the installation position. Then, adjust the level of the mounting base by adjusting the length of the extension of multiple adjusting screws so that the mounting base can adapt to uneven installation positions, thereby correctly installing the camera. 2. Since the mounting base is horizontal, the pressure plate only needs to press the mounting base tightly, and the horizontality of the pressure plate does not affect the horizontality of the mounting base, thus facilitating the installation of the mounting base; 3. When the connector is inserted into the tapered hole, the cone head engages with the tapered hole to prevent the connector from falling out of the tapered hole. At the same time, the anti-rotation block abuts against the positioning surface, preventing the connector and the mounting base from rotating relative to each other. This makes it easier for the screw to be threaded onto the connector. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-7 This application will be described in further detail.

[0030] Example 1 This application discloses an installation structure for a smart camera, with reference to... Figure 1 The system includes a mounting base 1, which can be elongated. An extension arm 2 is connected along the length of the mounting base 1 and is detachably connected to the mounting base 1. A connector 3 is located in the middle of the mounting base 1. One end of the extension arm 2 is connected to the mounting base 1, and the other end is used to connect to a screw 4. The screw 4 is used to fix a camera 5. The screw 4 can have a multi-section structure, with a nut sleeve 41 between two adjacent sections of the screw 4, allowing the screw 4 to be threadedly connected to the nut sleeve 41. This extends the installation position of the camera 5, making it suitable for use in indoor environments with high ceilings.

[0031] refer to Figure 1 The mounting base 1 has a T-shaped cross-section, forming two shoulders 11 on both sides. A mounting hole 12 is provided on the mounting base 1, parallel to its length, and its cross-section is rectangular, penetrating the middle of the cross-section. One end of the extension arm 2 is inserted into the mounting hole 12, with its cross-section matching that of the hole, allowing it to slide smoothly within the hole. A fixing component 6 is provided on the mounting base 1 to secure the connection between the extension arm 2 and the mounting base 1. The distance the extension arm 2 slides out from the mounting base 1 is adjustable to accommodate different installation positions.

[0032] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2Multiple adjusting screws 7 are provided on the mounting base 1, and the adjusting screws 7 are threadedly connected to the mounting base 1. In this embodiment, four adjusting screws 7 are provided, located on the shoulders 11 of the mounting base 1. Two adjusting screws 7 are provided on each shoulder 11 and spaced apart, so that the four adjusting screws 7 are positioned at the edge of the mounting base 1. Threaded holes 13 for connecting the adjusting screws 7 are provided on the shoulders 11, and one end of the adjusting screw 7 passes through the threaded hole 13, so that the end of the adjusting screw 7 is higher than the surface of the mounting base 1. In use, the mounting base 1 is attached to the installation position, and then fixed to the side of the mounting base 1 facing away from the installation position using a level. Then, the adjusting screws 7 are rotated to adjust the levelness of the mounting base 1. At the same time, the level is observed using a level. After the mounting base 1 is leveled, adhesive is filled between the mounting base 1 and the installation position. The adhesive can be used to fix the mounting base 1 to the installation position, or it can be used only to fill the gap between the mounting base 1 and the installation position. A countersunk hole 14 is provided on the side of the mounting base 1 opposite to the protruding side of the adjusting screw 7, and the end of the adjusting screw 7 is embedded in the countersunk hole 14. At the same time, four fixing holes 15 are provided on the shoulder 11 for installing fixing screws, so that the mounting base 1 can be fixed in the installation position through the fixing holes 15.

[0033] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 When it is inconvenient to install the fixing screws, a pressure plate 8 is provided on each side of the mounting base 1. A step 81 is provided on the side of the pressure plate 8 closest to the mounting base 1. The step 81 abuts against the shoulder 11, allowing the pressure plate 8 to press the mounting base 1 into the installation position. Simultaneously, the thickness of the pressure plate 8 is less than the thickness of the mounting base 1, ensuring that the mounting base 1 is tightened before the pressure plate 8 abuts against the installation position. At least two bolt holes 82 are provided on each pressure plate 8, and an expansion bolt 83 is installed in each of the two bolt holes 82, fixing the pressure plate 8 to the concrete installation position using the expansion bolts 83.

[0034] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4The extension arm 2 has multiple positioning holes 21 along its length. The positioning holes 21 located on the extension arm 2 away from the mounting base 1 are used to insert screws 4, so that both ends of the screws 4 are threaded with nuts for fixation. The positioning holes 21 located within the mounting base 1 are used to install the fixing component 6. The fixing component 6 includes two pressure strips 61, a pressure head 62, a pressure rod 63, and a locking nut 64. An elongated hole 16 is provided on the mounting base 1, with its length parallel to the length of the extension arm 2 and penetrating the mounting base 1. The two pressure strips 61 are placed within the elongated hole 16, abutting against two opposite sidewalls of the elongated hole 16. The pressure strips 61 are placed parallel to the length of the elongated hole 16, and the opposing surfaces of the two pressure strips 61 have inclined surfaces 611. The pressure head 62 is set in a conical shape, so that the conical surface of the pressure head 62 abuts against the inclined surface 611 of the pressure bar 61. The pressure rod 63 is fixed on the pressure head 62, and the center line of the pressure rod 63 coincides with the center line of the pressure head 62. The pressure rod 63 passes through the extension arm 2 through the positioning hole 21 and is threadedly connected to the locking nut 64. A washer 65 is provided between the locking nut 64 and the extension arm 2. The washer 65 can be set in a long strip shape to abut against the extension arm 2. A hexagonal hole 631 is provided at the end of the pressure rod 63 away from the pressure head 62, so that the pressure rod 63 can be fixed by installing a wrench in the hexagonal hole 631. Then, the locking nut 64 is rotated so that the conical surface of the pressure head 62 presses the two pressure strips 61 against the side wall of the elongated hole 16, thereby fixing the extension arm 2 to the mounting base 1. At the same time, the extension arm 2 can be adjusted along its length to make up for the problem that the spaced elongated holes 16 cannot achieve continuous adjustment, thus enabling the extension arm 2 to adapt to more installation occasions.

[0035] This embodiment also discloses an installation method for a smart camera. First, the mounting base 1 is placed in the pre-installation position. After adjusting the approximate length of the extension arm 2, the fixing component 6 is pre-installed into the corresponding positioning hole 21. Then, the level of the mounting base 1 is adjusted by multiple adjusting screws 7. Next, adhesive is filled between the mounting base 1 and the installation position, or pressure plates 8 are set on both sides of the mounting base 1. The pressure plates 8 are fixed to the installation position of the concrete material by expansion bolts 83. Then, the screw 4 is fixed to the end of the extension arm 2 away from the mounting base 1, and the extension arm 2 is locked in the required installation position by the fixing component 6. Finally, the camera 5 is fixed on the screw 4.

[0036] Example 2 This application discloses an installation structure for a smart camera, with reference to... Figure 5 and Figure 6The difference from Embodiment 1 is that the screw 4 used to mount the camera 5 is threaded onto the connector 3. The extension arm 2 is not installed on the mounting base 1, or another screw 4 can be installed to connect another camera 5. Two symmetrical tapered holes 17 are formed at the center of the mounting base 1. The smaller end of the tapered hole 17 is inside the mounting base 1, and the connector 3 is used to connect into the tapered hole 17. The symmetrical tapered holes 17 allow the mounting base 1 to be attached to both sides at the mounting position. One end of the connector 3 is configured as a conical head 31 that mates with the conical hole 17, and the middle part is configured as a cylindrical part 32. The other end is configured with a mounting conical head 33 for easy insertion into the conical hole 17. An anti-rotation block 34 is provided on the outer wall of the connection between the cylindrical part 32 and the conical head 31 in the middle of the connector 3. At the position where the two conical holes 17 are opposite each other, a positioning surface 18 is formed by the intersection with the mounting hole 12. The side wall of the anti-rotation block 34 is used to abut against the positioning surface 18, which is located at the intersection of the two conical holes 17 and the mounting hole 12. One end of the conical head 33 is used to insert the screw 4, so that one end of the screw 4 is threadedly connected to the center of the connector 3. Blocked by the conical head 31, the connector 3 is firmly connected to the mounting base 1. A spring 9 is provided at the end of the connector 3 away from the screw 4. One end of the spring 9 abuts against the connector 3, and the other end is used to abut against the installation position. Even if there is a gap between the mounting base 1 and the installation position by adjusting the screw 7, the spring 9 can press the connector 3 into the tapered hole 17, reducing the rotation or movement of the connector 3 in the tapered hole 17.

[0037] Example 3 This application discloses an installation structure for a smart camera, with reference to... Figure 7 The difference from Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2 is that the downward projection of the whole formed by the connection of the mounting base 1 and the pressure plate 8 is circular, which is used to adapt to different installation occasions.

[0038] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
