DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] See also Figure 1-Figure 10 In an embodiment of the present invention, a vertical network camera includes a camera body 1 and a base 2, wherein the camera body 1 is multi-directionally movably connected to the base 2 through a rotating bracket 3; a groove 21 is embedded in the bottom of the base 2, and two symmetrically arranged fixing components 4 are arranged in the groove 21, and the fixing components 4 are slidably adapted to the groove 21, and the fixing components 4 include a slider 41 slidably connected to the groove 21 and a clamping plate 42 rotatably connected to the slider 41, a suction cup 49 is embedded in the side of the clamping plate 42, and slide grooves 25 are symmetrically embedded on both sides of the upper surface of the groove 21, and a second sliding protrusion 48 corresponding to the slide groove 25 is connected to the side of the clamping plate 42 opposite to the suction cup 49.

[0028] During specific use, the base 2 is placed on the desktop, and the camera body 1 can be rotated in a vertical plane by rotating the bracket 3, or can be rotated in a horizontal plane by using the rotating bracket 3 to obtain a wider viewing angle. The camera body 1 is a common camera in the prior art, which can be connected using a data cable or wirelessly. This part is all prior art and will not be repeated here.

[0029] When the base 2 is placed on the desktop, the suction cup 49 can be used to absorb the desktop and place it stably. At this time, the two sliders 41 are relatively close to each other, the clamping plate 42 is fitted in the embedded groove 21, and the second sliding protrusion 48 on the clamping plate 42 is slidably matched in the sliding groove 25, so that the clamping plate 42 can be stably maintained in the embedded groove 21 and cannot rotate relative to the slider 41, which makes it convenient to place the camera body 1 and the base 2 on a plane for stable use; if it is not convenient to place it on a plane, the two sliders 41 can be moved away from each other first, so that the clamping plate 42 is driven outward from the embedded groove 21. Slide, and at the same time, the second sliding protrusion 48 slides outward from the slide groove 25. As the second sliding protrusion 48 gradually slides out of the slide groove 25, the clamping plate 42 can rotate relative to the slider 41, so that the clamping plates 42 on both sides can rotate and move vertically downward. At this time, the two groups of sliders 41 are relatively close, so that the suction cups 49 on the two groups of clamping plates 42 can be relatively close, which is convenient for fitting on the erected board surface. If there are horizontally or vertically placed rods, then the two clamping plates 42 can be used to clamp the rods and fix them with bolts, thereby improving the flexibility of placement and fixation.

[0030] like Figure 3 , Figure 9-10 As shown, the second sliding protrusion 48 is a rail-shaped protrusion, the slide 25 is slidably adapted with the second sliding protrusion 48, and when the clamping plate 42 is completely fitted into the embedded groove 21, the second sliding protrusion 48 fits with the end of the slide 25 extending into the embedded groove 21, and when the slider 41 continues to drive the clamping plate 42 to be relatively close, the second sliding protrusion 48 is squeezed. Therefore, the center of the suction cup 49 is embedded with a slideway 4901, and a piston block 4902 is slidably connected in the slideway 4901. A guide wheel 4903 is installed in the clamping plate 42 where the suction cup 49 is placed, and the second sliding protrusion 48 is slidably connected with the clamping plate 42, and a spring is connected between the end of the second sliding protrusion 48 and the clamping plate 42, and the end of the second sliding protrusion 48 is connected to the piston block 4902 through a traction rope 4904, and the traction rope 4904 passes around the periphery of the guide wheel 4903 and extends vertically to the piston block 4902. When the second sliding protrusion 48 slides in the slide groove 25, if the suction cup 49 is attached to the desktop and the slider 41 is continued to be driven to drive the clamping plate 42 to move, the second sliding protrusion 48 will drive the traction rope 4904, thereby forming negative pressure adsorption in the suction cup 49, thereby improving the stability of adsorption.

[0031] In order to ensure the flexibility of control and the stability of adsorption, such as Figure 1-Figure 4As shown, guide grooves 22 are symmetrically embedded on both sides of the embedding groove 21, and first sliding protrusions 43 that are slidably adapted to the guide grooves 22 are symmetrically provided at both ends of the slider 41. Threaded holes are provided on the first sliding protrusions 43 on the same side of the two sliders 41. A guide screw 23 is rotatably connected in the guide groove 22. The first sliding protrusions 43 are symmetrically sleeved on both sides of the periphery of the guide screw 23. The threaded holes on the first sliding protrusions 43 are threadedly matched with the periphery of the guide screw 23. The periphery of the guide screw 23 has threads with opposite rotation directions on both sides. A knob 24 is fixedly connected to one end of the guide screw 23. The knob 24 can be used to control the rotation of the guide screw 23, thereby controlling the two sliders 41 to approach or move away synchronously, and the operation is simple and convenient.

[0032] In order to facilitate the cooperation of the two clamping plates 42, Figure 5-Figure 8 As shown, the clamping plate 42 is located on the same side of the suction cup 49 and is embedded with an arc groove 44. When the clamping plate 42 is vertical downward and the two clamping plates 42 are parallel, the arc grooves 44 on both sides are arranged oppositely. The surface of the arc groove 44 is provided with multiple groups of anti-slip edges 45 in a circular array. The end of the clamping plate 42 away from the slider 41 is embedded with a groove 46, and a connecting joint 47 for connecting bolts is rotatably connected in the groove 46. In this way, when in use, the suction cups 49 on the two groups of clamping plates 42 can be conveniently adsorbed and fixed. Once the clamping plates 42 are rotated, the two groups of clamping plates 42 can be clamped on the periphery of the plate or the rod. The plate can be adsorbed by the suction cup 49, and the rod can be clamped by the arc groove 44. After the bolt passes through the connecting joint 47, the end position of the two groups of clamping plates 42 can be fixed. The rotatable connecting joint 47 can also be convenient when clamping rods of different sizes. Even if the clamping plates 42 are not kept parallel, the bolts can be simultaneously passed through the connecting joints 47 on both sides by rotation. This method can effectively provide a variety of placement methods, and the placement is stable and convenient.

[0033] The connecting joint 47 includes a threaded sleeve 4701 and rotating protrusions 4702 located on both sides of the threaded sleeve 4701. The rotating protrusions 4702 are rotatably connected to the side walls of the groove 46, which can facilitate the passing of bolts for assembly.

[0034] In the scheme, because the screw slider mechanism between the guide screw 23 and the first sliding protrusion 43 lacks the self-locking effect, the guide screw 23 is not only rotationally connected to the guide groove 22, but also the guide screw 23 can slide relatively left and right in the guide groove 22. The side of the base 2 opposite to the knob 24 is embedded with a prismatic hole adapted to the knob 24. The knob 24 is usually inserted into the prismatic hole, and the prismatic hole limits the rotation of the knob 24, so that the rotation of the guide screw 23 is limited. The knob 24 is pulled out of the prismatic hole, and the knob 24 can be rotated at this time, thereby driving the guide screw 23 to rotate, and then controlling and driving the two sets of sliders 41 to move relatively close or relatively far away. This self-locking method is simple and convenient, and it is also convenient to maintain the overall stability during adsorption and clamping. Once the positions of the two sets of sliders 41 are locked, although the clamp 42 and the slider 41 are rotationally connected, as long as the clamp 42 is locked away from the end of the slider 41, the clamp 42 will not shake relative to the slider 41.

[0035] Further, such as Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, the rotating bracket 3 includes a first rotating seat 31 rotatably connected to the base 2, a stand 32 is fixedly connected to the first rotating seat 31, one side of the stand 32 is connected to the camera body 1 through a second rotating seat 33, and the second rotating seat 33 and the first rotating seat 31 are both connected to a servo motor for controlling and driving the first rotating seat 31 and the second rotating seat 33 to rotate, so that the camera body 1 can maintain multi-directional and multi-angle rotation adjustment. This part of the technical features is the prior art and will not be repeated here.
