In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish in the description and have no special meaning.

[0044] This embodiment provides a shooting device that can solve the problem of limited shooting angle of the camera 30, and the steering operation of the camera 30 is more flexible. Figure 1-Figure 4As shown, the shooting device includes a telescopic component 10, an angle adjustment drive mechanism 20, a camera 30 and a display screen 40. One end of the telescopic component 10 is used for handholding, and the length of the telescopic component 10 in a preset direction (X direction in the figure) is adjustable; the angle adjustment drive mechanism 20 is connected to the other end of the telescopic component 10, and the camera 30 is connected to the output end of the angle adjustment drive mechanism 20. The angle adjustment drive mechanism 20 can drive the camera 30 to rotate around a preset direction and / or a first direction (Y direction in the figure, the Y direction is perpendicular to the X direction), and the preset direction is perpendicular to the first direction; the display screen 40 is installed on the telescopic component 10, and the display screen 40 is used to display the picture taken by the camera 30.

[0045] In the above-mentioned shooting device, when the operator holds one end of the telescopic component 10, the telescopic component 10 is extended so that the camera 30 reaches the position where the camera 30 needs to shoot. If the desired picture cannot be shot, the angle adjustment drive mechanism 20 can drive the camera 30 to rotate around a preset direction so that the shooting position of the camera 30 (i.e. Figure 4 In addition, the angle adjustment drive mechanism 20 can also drive the camera 30 to rotate around a first direction. The rotational movements in the two directions are combined so that the camera 30 can adjust the shooting range over a larger range without manual adjustment, which can solve the problem of limited shooting angles of the camera 30 and make the steering operation of the camera 30 more flexible.

[0046] Alternatively, if Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the angle adjustment drive mechanism 20 includes a first mounting member 21, a first rotating drive member 22, a second mounting member 23 and a second rotating drive assembly 24. The first mounting member 21 is connected to the other end of the telescopic assembly 10; the first rotating drive member 22 is mounted on the first mounting member 21, and the first rotating drive member 22 can output a rotational motion with the first direction as the axis; the second mounting member 23 is mounted on the output end of the first rotating drive member 22 and is located on the side of the first rotating member away from the telescopic assembly 10; the second rotating drive assembly 24 is mounted on the second mounting member 23, and the second rotating drive member 241 can drive the camera 30 to rotate with the first direction as the axis. Through the above arrangement, the first rotating drive member 22 realizes driving the camera 30 to rotate with the preset direction as the axis, and the second rotating drive assembly 24 realizes driving the camera 30 to rotate with the first direction as the axis.

[0047] Alternatively, if Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the second rotation drive assembly 24 includes a second rotation drive member 241, a gear 242 and an annular rack 243. The second rotation drive member 241 is installed on the second mounting member 23, and the second rotation drive member 241 can output rotational motion with the first direction as the axis; the gear 242 is coaxially installed on the output end of the second rotation drive member 241; the annular rack 243 is arranged around the outer periphery of the camera 30 and meshes with the gear 242, and the camera 30 is pivotally connected to the second mounting member 23. Through the above-mentioned arrangement, the second rotating driving member 241 drives the gear 242 to rotate, and then drives the annular rack 243 to drive the camera 30 to rotate with the Y direction as the axis. Due to the arrangement of the gear 242 and the annular rack 243, the axial direction of the camera 30 may not be on the same line as the axial direction of the output end of the second rotating driving member 241, but the axes of the two are arranged in parallel, so that in the Y direction, the size of the second rotating driving member 241 and the camera 30 is not too large, and the positions of the second rotating driving member 241 and the camera 30 are reasonably arranged without affecting the normal driving of the camera 30 by the second rotating driving member 241.

[0048] Alternatively, if Figure 3 As shown, a battery 70 is installed at the bottom of the telescopic assembly 10, and the battery 70 is configured to power the display screen 40, the angle adjustment drive mechanism 20 and the camera 30. Specifically, a battery installation compartment 11 is provided at the bottom of the telescopic assembly 10, and the battery installation compartment 11 includes a sleeve 111 and two end caps 112. The battery 70 is located in the sleeve 111, and the two end caps 112 are respectively connected to the two ends of the sleeve 111. Among them, for the angle adjustment drive mechanism 20, the battery 70 powers the first rotating drive member 22 and the second rotating drive member 241, and the circuit setting thereof is not repeated here.

[0049] Alternatively, if Figure 3 As shown, the shooting device also includes an operation panel 90, on which a start / stop button is installed. Specifically, the first rotating driving member 22 and the second rotating driving member 241 are both provided with corresponding start / stop buttons, which facilitates the operator to operate at the handheld end, so that the camera 30 is rotated at the other end to adjust the angle, and observe through the display screen 40, and press the start / stop button when the desired picture is found, and the first rotating driving member 22 or the second rotating driving member 241 stops driving. In addition, the operation panel 90 is also provided with a start / stop button for the display screen 40, which will not be described in detail here.

[0050] In this embodiment, the operation panel 90 and the display screen 40 are arranged adjacent to each other, and the operation panel 90 is close to the handheld end of the telescopic assembly 10, which is convenient for manual operation. In other embodiments, the display screen 40 is separated from the operation panel 90 by a preset distance, so that when the operator holds the camera for shooting, the display screen 40 is within the field of vision of the operator when the operator looks up. It can be understood that the display screen 40 is far away from the handheld end of the telescopic assembly 10, and the operator can observe the screen of the display screen 40 without lowering his head.

[0051] Optionally, the annular rack 243 is a hoop, so that the annular rack 243 can be more conveniently assembled and disassembled.

[0052] Alternatively, if Figure 4 As shown, connecting parts 2433 are protruded at both ends of the annular rack 243 , and the two connecting parts 2433 are connected by a locking member so that the annular rack 243 is tightly enclosed on the outer periphery of the camera 30 .

[0053] Alternatively, if Figure 4 As shown, the shooting device also includes a fill light 50, which is mounted on the annular rack 243, and the fill light area of ​​the fill light 50 covers the shooting area of ​​the camera 30. Through the above arrangement, the fill light 50 provides sufficient lighting for the shooting area of ​​the camera 30, which is suitable for the situation where the light under the vehicle or the shooting area is poor. Optionally, the fill light 50 is mounted on one of the connecting parts 2433, so that the fill light 50 can be relatively close to the camera 30.

[0054] Furthermore, the shooting position of the camera 30 (i.e. Figure 4 The direction of the fill light 50 is consistent with the direction of the fill light 50, ensuring that the fill light position of the fill light 50 is facing the camera area of ​​the camera 30.

[0055] Alternatively, if Figure 4 As shown, part of the annular rack 243 is provided with a plurality of meshing teeth 2431, and the outer periphery of the other part of the annular rack 243 is a smooth curved surface 2432. It is understandable that a wire (not shown in the figure) is generally connected to the outside of the camera 30. When the camera 30 rotates around its own axis (i.e., the Y direction), the wire is easily entangled around the outer periphery of the camera 30. If the rotation angle is too large, the wire is easily broken. Through the above arrangement, the gear 242 is meshed with the plurality of meshing teeth 2431. When the gear 242 and the plurality of meshing teeth 2431 are meshed to the junction of the meshing teeth 2431 and the smooth curved surface 2432, the smooth curved surface 2432 cannot mesh with the gear 242, and the gear 242 cannot continue to rotate, which plays a role of hard limit to prevent the wire from being broken due to excessive rotation of the camera 30.

[0056] Alternatively, if Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the first mounting member 21 is box-shaped, and the main body of the first rotating driving member 22 is located in the first mounting member 21 , which can prevent dust and the like from entering the first rotating driving member 22 , thereby extending the service life of the first rotating driving member 22 .

[0057] Specifically, the first mounting member 21 includes a first base 211, a surrounding plate 212 and a cover plate 213. The first base 211 is connected to the telescopic assembly 10. The two ends of the surrounding plate 212 are respectively connected to the first base 211 and the cover plate 213. The first rotating driving member 22 is installed on the cover plate 213 and the output end of the first rotating driving member 22 extends out of the cover plate 213.

[0058] Optionally, an external part is provided on the first mounting member 21, and the external part is used to connect auxiliary tools, such as measuring rulers and other auxiliary tools. Optionally, the external part is a nut, and the nut can be directly welded on the first mounting member 21 or embedded in the first mounting member 21, which is not limited here.

[0059] Alternatively, if Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the second mounting member 23 is box-shaped, and the main body of the second rotating driving member 241 is located in the second mounting member 23 , which can prevent dust and the like from entering the second rotating driving member 241 , thereby extending the service life of the second rotating driving member 241 .

[0060] Specifically, the second mounting member 23 includes a second base 231 and a covering member 232. The second base 231 is connected to the output end of the first rotating driving member 22. The second rotating driving member 241 is installed on the second base 231. The covering member 232 is connected to the second mounting member 23 and covers the outside of the second rotating driving member 241. The output end of the second rotating driving member 241 extends out of the covering member 232.

[0061] The first rotating driving member 22 and the second rotating driving member 241 can both be made of micro-rotating motors, which are small in size, at the centimeter level, do not occupy too much space, and are light in weight.

[0062] Alternatively, if Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, a pivot seat 80 is mounted on the second mounting member 23. The pivot seat 80 is in the shape of a cylinder with one end open. Part of the camera 30 is located in the pivot seat 80 and is rotatably connected to the pivot seat 80. Specifically, the area of ​​the second base 231 is made larger, a part of which is connected to the cover member 232, and the other part provides a larger installation area for the installation of the pivot seat 80. The setting of the pivot seat 80 ensures the stability of the camera 30 during the rotation process.

[0063] Alternatively, if Figure 4As shown, the shooting device also includes a gooseneck metal piece 60, which is connected between the telescopic assembly 10 and the angle adjustment drive mechanism 20. The gooseneck metal piece 60 can be bent, so that the user can bend the camera 30 on the top of the high-speed camera pole to the angle required for recording and shooting as needed, and extend it to the top of the truck convertible compartment to record and shoot the goods in the compartment.

[0064] In addition, the shooting device is also equipped with a charging interface for convenient charging; multiple protection devices such as overcharging and short circuit are set in the circuit to make charging safer and more stable.

[0065] It should be noted that the structure of the telescopic assembly 10 is relatively common in the prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0066] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, various obvious changes, readjustments and substitutions can be made without departing from the protection scope of the present invention. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
