In addition, the terms "first", "second", etc. involved in the embodiments of the present application are only used for the purpose of convenience of description and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0036] See also Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the camera 100 of the embodiment of the present application includes a base 1, an upper cover 2, a lens assembly 3 and an adjustment screw 4.

[0037] The upper cover 2 is provided with a receiving groove 211. The base 1 is located in the receiving groove 211 and forms a receiving cavity 212 with the upper cover 2. The upper cover 2 is rotatably connected to the base 1. At least part of the lens assembly 3 is located in the receiving cavity 212 and includes a lens 30. The lens assembly 3 is supported on the base 1 and can rotate relative to the base 1.

[0038] The adjusting screw 4 is used to fix the upper cover 2 and the base 1. The adjusting screw 4 can be switched between a tightened state and a loosened state. Figure 4 When the adjusting screw 4 is in a tightened state, the lens assembly 3 is clamped and fixed between the upper cover 2 and the base 1, see Figure 3 When the adjusting screw 4 is in a loose state, the upper cover 2 can be flipped relative to the base 1 to loosen the lens assembly 3, so that the lens assembly 3 can be rotated to adjust the angle of the lens 30.

[0039] After loosening the adjustment screw 4, the upper cover 2 can be flipped relative to the base 1, and the lens assembly 3 can be rotated relative to the base 1 to adjust the angle of the lens 30. The angle of the lens 30 can be adjusted without opening the upper cover 2. The operation is simple and convenient, which improves the convenience of installation and adjustment of the camera 100.

[0040] In some embodiments, the upper cover 2 includes an annular main body 21 , and the main body 21 surrounds the receiving groove 211 and forms a receiving cavity 212 with the upper cover 2 .

[0041] In some embodiments, when the upper cover 2 is flipped relative to the base 1, the lens assembly 3 is rotated relative to the base 1 to prevent a jamming phenomenon that causes the upper cover 2 to be unable to be loosened or tightened.

[0042] See also Figure 3 to Figure 4 In some embodiments, the base 1 includes an elliptical bottom support portion 13, and the lens assembly 3 includes a hemispherical crimping portion 311, and the crimping portion 311 is crimped on the bottom support portion 13. The elliptical bottom support portion 13 forms an automatically aligning support structure to avoid the stuck phenomenon of the lens assembly 3 when the angle is adjusted. When the adjusting screw 4 is loosened to loosen the upper cover 2, as the upper cover 2 is flipped to a certain angle, since the bottom support portion 13 is elliptical, the lens assembly 3 moves backward with the upper cover 2 ( Figure 3 When the adjusting screw 4 is tightened to tighten the upper cover 2, the lens assembly 3 can move forward following the flipping of the upper cover 2 ( Figure 4 ), returning to a state concentric with the base 1.

[0043] When the angle of the lens 30 is to be adjusted, Figure 3 As shown, loosen the adjusting screw 4, the upper cover 2 is turned upward relative to the base 1 and opened ( Figure 3 At the same time, the upper cover 2 moves backward along the bottom support portion 13 of the base 1 with the lens assembly 3 ( Figure 3 ), ensure the smooth opening of the upper cover 2, and then rotate the lens assembly 3 by the friction between the hand and the lens assembly 3. After adjusting to a suitable angle, flip the upper cover 2 downward to close it ( Figure 4 At the same time, the upper cover 2 moves forward with the lens assembly 3 along the bottom support portion 13 of the base 1 ( Figure 4The upper cover 2 is moved in the direction of the arrow X2 in the figure to ensure smooth closing of the upper cover 2, and finally the adjusting screw 4 is tightened to complete the angle adjustment of the lens 30. This adjustment process does not destroy the original sealing of the lens assembly 3, and the airtightness of the lens assembly 3 is not affected, thereby ensuring the consistency of the product and avoiding the risk of sealing failure due to disassembly of the existing camera for angle adjustment.

[0044] See also Figure 6 to Figure 7 In some embodiments, the upper cover 2 is provided with a shaft 22, and the base 1 is provided with an axis hole 110. The shaft 22 is assembled in the axis hole 110 to achieve a rotational connection between the upper cover 2 and the base 1. The shaft 22 and the adjustment screw 4 are located at opposite ends of the camera 100.

[0045] The shaft portion 22 may also be disposed on the base 1 , and correspondingly, the shaft hole 110 is disposed on the upper cover 2 .

[0046] In some embodiments, the shaft portion 22 and the shaft hole 110 are both provided as a pair and are symmetrically arranged to increase the smoothness of the upper cover 2 when it is turned over.

[0047] In some embodiments, the line connecting the pair of shaft portions 22 and the adjusting screw 4 is an equilateral triangle, which is stable and not easily deformed by force.

[0048] The shaft portion 22 is both a buckle and a rotation axis. The hidden installation is more beautiful and the upper cover 2 can be prevented from falling off when the lens assembly 3 is adjusted.

[0049] The shaft hole 110 may be a through hole or a recessed groove, which is not limited in the present application.

[0050] The base 1 includes a bottom plate portion 14, and the bottom support portion 13 is formed by extending upward from the bottom plate portion 14. Optionally, the bottom support portion 13 is located in the middle of the bottom plate portion 14. The base 1 also includes an annular portion 15 extending upward from the bottom plate portion 14, and the annular portion 15 is arranged around the periphery of the bottom support portion 13. Figure 4 As shown, the annular portion 15 forms a bowl-shaped space 151 which is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom, and the base portion 13 is located in the bowl-shaped space 151 .

[0051] See also Figures 8 to 12 In some embodiments, the upper cover 2 is provided with a through hole 210 , and the base 1 is provided with an assembly hole 141 . The adjusting screw 4 passes through the through hole 210 and is assembled in the assembly hole 141 and is screwed and fixed to the base 1 .

[0052] Combination Figure 6In some embodiments, the base 1 includes a fixing column 16 extending upward from the bottom plate portion 14 , and the assembly hole 141 is disposed on the fixing column 16 , so that the depth of the assembly hole 141 can be increased without increasing the thickness of the bottom plate portion 14 .

[0053] In some embodiments, the assembly hole 141 may penetrate downwardly through the bottom plate portion 14 to further increase the depth of the assembly hole 141 .

[0054] Combination Figure 6 In some embodiments, the bottom plate portion 14 is further provided with a through hole 142 for screws to pass through to fix the camera 100 on other objects, so as to achieve the installation and fixation of the camera 100. Compared with the complicated operation of removing the upper cover when installing the existing camera, the camera 100 does not need to remove the upper cover 2, which simplifies the installation steps and makes the installation simpler and more convenient.

[0055] The through hole 210 is disposed on the main body 21 , and the adjusting screw 4 passes through the through hole 210 from top to bottom and is assembled in the assembly hole 141 .

[0056] The main body 21 is provided with a slot 216, and the slot 216 is located above the through hole 210. After the adjusting screw 4 is tightened, the slot 216 is used to hide the top of the adjusting screw 4, so that the external light of the camera 100 is neater.

[0057] In some embodiments, the assembly hole 141 includes a first hole 1411 and a second hole 1412, the base 1 includes a shoulder 17 located above the first hole 1411, the diameter of the first hole 1411 is greater than the diameter of the second hole 1412, the adjusting screw 4 includes a connecting portion 41 and a threaded portion 42 arranged at one end of the connecting portion 41, the diameter of the threaded portion 42 is greater than the diameter of the connecting portion 41, the height of the connecting portion 41 is greater than the height of the threaded portion 42, the threaded portion 42 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the second hole 1412, after the adjusting screw 4 is loosened, the threaded portion 42 is located in the first hole 1411, the shoulder 17 can resist the threaded portion 42 to prevent the adjusting screw 4 from detaching from the base 1, prevent the upper cover 2 from falling off the base 1, and prevent the adjusting screw 4 from being lost.

[0058] See also Figure 13 to Figure 14 In some embodiments, the lens assembly 3 includes a shell 31 and a lens cover 32 fixed to the shell 31, the lens cover 32 and the shell 31 form a sealed receiving space 321, the lens 30 is located in the receiving space 321, and the crimping portion 311 is disposed on the shell 31.

[0059] The lens assembly 3 is independently sealed in one piece, and the sealing joint surface is fully shielded by the upper cover 2. Water flow will not directly impact the joint surface, thereby improving the waterproof performance of the camera 100. It can easily pass the IPX9K waterproof test and can easily cope with usage scenarios with high-level waterproof requirements, avoiding the problem of multiple joint surfaces of traditional cameras being exposed and waterproof failure in long-term use in outdoor scenes.

[0060] In some embodiments, the housing 31 and the lens cover 32 may be sealed by a sealant or by welding.

[0061] In some embodiments, the housing 31 and the lens cover 32 may be fixed by snapping, welding, or bonding.

[0062] In some embodiments, the relative position between the lens cover 32 and the lens 30 is fixed, which is more conducive to designing an anti-fogging solution for introducing a small cavity.

[0063] In some embodiments, the housing 31 includes an upper housing 312 and a lower housing 313 fixed together, and the upper housing 312 and the lower housing 313 enclose a sealed storage cavity 3121. The lens assembly 3 includes a main board 35, a light board 36, and a power board 37 located in the storage cavity 3121.

[0064] In some embodiments, the lens assembly 3 includes a sealing ring 33 located between the upper shell 312 and the lower shell 313 to achieve sealing between the upper shell 312 and the lower shell 313 .

[0065] In some embodiments, the upper shell 312 and the lower shell 313 may be sealed by means of sealant or welding.

[0066] exist Fig.14 In the embodiment, the upper shell 312 and the lower shell 313 are fixed by screws 34, so as to facilitate the assembly and disassembly of the upper shell 312 and the lower shell 313. Optionally, in some embodiments, the upper shell 312 and the lower shell 313 can also be fixed by welding, bonding, snapping, etc.

[0067] In some embodiments, the lens assembly 3 further includes an infrared transparent cover 38 fixed to the upper shell 312 .

[0068] The setting of the sealed storage cavity 3121 and the sealed receiving space 321 can not only protect the components in the storage cavity 3121, including but not limited to the main board 35, the light board 36 and the power board 37; at the same time, when the lens assembly 3 is rotated, the sealing performance of the lens assembly 3 will not be destroyed, thereby solving the problem of waterproof failure of existing cameras due to the destruction of the assembly airtightness before leaving the factory when adjusting the lens.

[0069] In some embodiments, the upper shell 312 is provided with an opening 3122 communicating with the storage cavity 3121 for the lens 30 to pass through. Optionally, the lens 30 may be completely located in the storage cavity 3121, and the upper shell 312 is provided with a transparent window corresponding to the lens 30.

[0070] In some embodiments, the infrared transparent cover 38 is provided as a pair, and the pair of infrared transparent covers 38 surrounds the opening portion 3122 .

[0071] In some embodiments, the lens cover 32 and the upper shell 312 enclose the sealed receiving space 321 .

[0072] In some embodiments, the upper shell 312 is provided with a glue dispensing groove 3123 , and the free end of the lens cover 32 is located in the glue dispensing groove 3123 . Glue is dispensed in the glue dispensing groove 3123 to achieve sealing between the upper shell 312 and the lens cover 32 .

[0073] In some embodiments, the lens cover 32 is hemispherical, retaining the appearance of a hemispherical camera, and the diameter of the lens cover 32 is greater than the diameter of the crimping portion 311 .

[0074] The outer diameter of the lower shell 313 is shrunk to form the crimping portion 311 , and the lower shell 313 and the upper shell 312 form an asymmetric sphere, which can effectively save the space below and ensure that both bottom and side wiring outlets are compatible without increasing the height of the camera 100 .

[0075] In some embodiments, the lens assembly 3 includes a connecting wire 6, and the lower shell 313 is provided with a hole 3131 for the connecting wire 6 to pass through. The connecting wire 6 can be electrically connected to the power board 37, and the hole 3131 is sealed to prevent water from entering the hole 3131.

[0076] In some embodiments, the hole 3131 is disposed on the crimping portion 311 .

[0077] See also Figure 15 to Figure 16In some embodiments, the camera 100 includes a seal 5 located between the upper cover 2 and the lens assembly 3. The seal 5 is arranged around the periphery of the lens assembly 3. When the upper cover 2 is fixed to the base 1, the seal 5 is tightly fitted to the lens assembly 3.

[0078] In some embodiments, the seal 5 fits tightly with the lens cover 32 to achieve sealing and waterproofing. At the same time, the joint surface between the lens cover 32 and the housing 31 is shielded by the upper cover 2 and is not exposed, which can easily cope with usage scenarios with high-level waterproof requirements, such as IPX9K waterproof requirements, and greatly reduce the impact of high-pressure water on the sealing joint surface of the lens ball, solving the problem that existing cameras cannot be used in scenarios with high-level waterproof requirements due to the exposed joint surface, such as outdoor environments directly in contact with water or impact environments with vehicle-mounted high-pressure water guns.

[0079] The seal 5 not only serves as the front waterproof function of the camera 100, but also prevents the upper cover 2 from directly contacting the lens hood 32, thereby protecting the lens hood 32 from being scratched by the upper cover 2 during assembly or angle adjustment. At the same time, the soft contact of the seal 5 can also prevent the edge of the lens hood 32 from cracking due to excessive force. Furthermore, when adjusting the angle of the lens 30, compared with the existing camera with a sealing ring at the bottom, which squeezes the sealing ring when adjusting the lens and generates a large friction force, the friction force generated by the seal 5 is smaller, and the angle adjustment can be achieved more easily.

[0080] In some embodiments, the upper cover 2 is annular and includes a top end 213 and a bottom end 214, the top end 213 forms an upper opening 2131, the bottom end 214 forms a lower opening 2141, the upper opening 2131 is smaller than the lower opening 2141, the top of the lens assembly 3 passes through the upper opening 2131, and after the upper cover 2 is fixed to the base 1, the top end 213 presses the lens assembly 3, and the seal 5 is fixed to the top end 213 and follows the flipping of the upper cover 2.

[0081] In some embodiments, the top end 213 is provided with a groove 2132 for accommodating the sealing member 5 to increase the stability of the sealing member 5 and enhance the sealing effect.

[0082] After the adjusting screw 4 is tightened, the plane where the top end 213 is located is tilted relative to the horizontal direction. At the same time, the ring formed by the sealing member 5 is also tilted relative to the horizontal direction to prevent the upper cover 2 from getting stuck when opening and closing.

[0083] See also Fig.17In some embodiments, the base 1 is provided with a wire outlet groove 111 for the connecting wire 6 passing through the crimping portion 311 to pass through, and the wire outlet groove 111 extends outward along the radial direction of the base 1.

[0084] In some embodiments, the cable outlet groove 111 is formed by being recessed from the bottom plate portion 14 .

[0085] In some embodiments, the upper cover 2 is provided with a through hole 215 connected to the wire outlet groove 111, and the through hole 215 is located outside the wire outlet groove 111 for the connecting wire 6 to pass through, and is compatible with the installation of bottom outlet and side outlet, thereby increasing the convenience of installation. The side wiring of traditional cameras is mostly implemented by adding a mounting plate, which increases the height of the camera and the cost. The interior of the camera 100 of the present application adopts an asymmetric spherical structure, which can greatly save the bottom space without increasing the overall height of the product. The extra bottom space can meet the needs of side wiring and reduce costs.

[0086] Based on the asymmetric spherical structure design, the upper supporting rubber structure formed by the seal 5 can more easily achieve the functions of reliable fixation of the lens assembly 3 when the upper cover 2 is locked and easy adjustment of the lens assembly 3 when the upper cover 2 is loosened.

[0087] Based on the upper supporting rubber structure formed by the sealing member 5, the hole 3131 can be effectively waterproofed regardless of side routing or bottom routing.

[0088] In some embodiments, the through hole 215 is located between a pair of the shaft portions 22 to avoid being affected by the connecting line 6 .

[0089] In some embodiments, when the camera 100 is assembled, the pair of infrared transparent covers 38 are symmetrically arranged and snapped onto the upper shell 312, and then the components are fixed in the receiving space 321, the sealing ring 33 is fixed to the upper shell 312 or the lower shell 313, the connecting wire 6 is fixed to the lower shell 313, the upper shell 312 is fixed to the lower shell 313, and the lens cover 32 is fixed to the upper shell 312 to assemble the lens assembly 3, the sealing member 5 is fixed to the upper cover 2, the lens assembly 3 is placed on the bottom support portion 13 of the base 1, the shaft portion 22 of the upper cover 2 is snapped into the shaft hole 110 of the base 1, and finally the adjusting screw 4 is passed through the through hole 210 of the upper cover 2 and locked on the base 1 to complete the assembly of the camera 100. The present application does not limit the assembly order of the camera 100.
