[0092] like Figure 8-12 As shown, based on the above embodiment 7, the stable locking unit further includes:

[0093] A first rack 79, the first rack 79 is slidably disposed in the first horizontal slide groove 74, one end of the first rack 79 extends into the vertical slide groove 73 and is clamped above the slide plate 77, the extended end is provided with an arc surface, and a spring is connected between the other end of the first rack 79 and the end of the first horizontal slide groove 74;

[0094] The second rack 81 is slidably disposed in the second horizontal slide groove 75. One end of the second rack 81 extends into the vertical slide groove 73. The extended end is provided with a conical surface. A spring is connected between the other end of the second rack 81 and the end of the second horizontal slide groove 75. The side wall of the slide column 76 is provided with a latching tooth 82.

[0095] The transmission shaft 83 is rotatably connected to the clamping seat 72. The transmission shaft 83 is connected to a first gear 84 and a second gear 85. The first gear 84 is meshed with the first rack 79, and the second gear 85 is meshed with the second rack 81. The meshing directions of the first rack 79 and the second rack 81 with the gears are opposite.

[0096] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are:

[0097] When the bolt is loosened and the displacement after loosening is within the first preset range, the arc surface of the first rack 79 abuts against the top of the slide plate 77, which can keep the position of the slide plate 77 stable and prevent sliding; when the displacement after loosening exceeds the first preset range, the slide post 76 and the slide plate 77 continue to move upward, and the first rack 79 cannot maintain the position of the slide plate 77 stable. The slide plate 77 squeezes the arc surface at the end of the first rack 79, causing the first rack 79 to move out of the vertical slide groove 73 and slide in the direction away from the vertical slide groove 73. The first rack 79 meshes with the first gear 74 to drive the transmission shaft 83 to rotate, causing the second gear 85 to rotate accordingly, and the second gear 85 meshes with the second rack 81 to drive the second rack 81 to slide in the direction close to the vertical slide groove 73, so that the conical surface of the second rack 81 is engaged with the latch tooth 82, thereby limiting the slide post 76 and preventing the slide post 76 from moving any more. At this time, the second preset range of displacement has not been reached.

[0098] Through the above-mentioned structural design, when the bolts of the L-shaped bracket 51 become loose, by setting the stable locking unit, when the displacement is within the second preset amplitude, the ball 78 can swing slightly with the L-shaped bracket 51, thereby reducing the impact caused by the rigid collision of the structural parts when loose; and the displacement is controlled within the second preset amplitude, so that the L-shaped bracket 51 will no longer continue to loosen, and the L-shaped bracket 51 has a limiting effect; while reducing the shock of the image acquisition device 5, its self-locking limiting ability is improved, the stability of the shooting process is maintained, and the image quality of the image acquisition device 5 is controlled within an effective range.

[0099] Embodiment 9:

[0100] like Fig. 9 As shown, based on the above-mentioned embodiment 8, a pressure rod 86 is slidably connected to the top of the clamping seat 72 and is located above the vertical slide groove 73. A spring is connected between the end of the pressure rod 86 and the top of the clamping seat 72.

[0101] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are:

[0102] A pressure sensor is provided on the second rack 81. When the conical surface of the second rack 81 engages with the latch tooth 82 and limits the sliding column 76, the pressure on the second rack 81 reaches a preset value, and the controller activates the warning unit to prompt the staff to perform maintenance; the staff presses the rod 86 downward, and the pressure rod 86 squeezes the slide 77 downward, and the first rack 79 is reset and moved into the vertical slide groove 73 under the action of the spring, the transmission shaft 83 and the slave gear are reversed, and the second rack 81 is reset under the action of the spring, and the limit on the sliding column 76 is released, so that the L-shaped bracket 51 is convenient to be taken out for maintenance.

[0103] Embodiment 10:

[0104] like Fig. 9 ,13 As shown, on the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment 9, the transmission shaft 83 extends into the rotating shaft 71, and a limiting ring assembly is arranged in the rotating groove 67, and the limiting ring assembly includes:

[0105] An outer ring 91, the outer ring 91 is connected to the inner wall of the rotating groove 67 and is concentrically arranged outside the rotating shaft 71, and a plurality of sliding grooves 93 are evenly arranged on the inner wall of the outer ring 91;

[0106] The inner ring 92 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the outer ring 91 and is concentrically arranged on the outer side of the rotating shaft 71. A plurality of sliding blocks 94 are evenly connected to the outer wall of the inner ring 92. The sliding blocks 94 are slidably connected to the sliding grooves 93. A spring is connected between the sliding blocks 94 and the ends of the sliding grooves 93. A plurality of limiting teeth 95 are evenly connected to the inner ring 92.

[0107] A third gear 96, the third gear 96 is connected to the bottom end of the transmission shaft 83 and is located in the cavity of the rotating shaft 71;

[0108] The third rack 97, two third racks 97 are slidably disposed in the cavity of the rotating shaft 71, and the two third racks 97 are symmetrical relative to the center of the transmission shaft 83, the third rack 97 is meshed and connected with the third gear 96, a spring is connected between the end of the third rack 97 and the cavity of the rotating shaft 71, and a bending section is arranged at the end of the third rack 97.

[0109] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are:

[0110] When the limiting ring assembly is in use, as the transmission shaft 83 rotates, the third gear 96 is driven to rotate synchronously, and the third gear 96 is meshed with the two third racks 97 for transmission, so that the two third racks 97 move outward until the bent section of the rack 97 contacts the limiting teeth 95 on the inner ring 92; the bent section of the rack 97 slides along the inclined surface of the limiting teeth 95, and the limiting teeth 95 limit the rack 97 to prevent the pressing seat 72 itself from rotating during the locking process of the L-shaped bracket 51 by the pressing seat 72, thereby effectively realizing the stable limiting of the L-shaped bracket 51 and preventing the pressing seat 72 from shifting due to the squeezing of the ball 78 during the shaking of the L-shaped bracket 51. A sliding groove 93 is provided on the outer ring 91, and a sliding block 94 is provided on the inner ring 92. When the bent section of the rack 97 slides along the inclined surface of the limiting tooth 95, a small rotation margin is provided so that the bent section of the rack 97 can move to contact the inner ring 92 body, thereby improving the limiting stability.
