[0062] The technical solutions disclosed in various embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0063] Please refer to Figures 1 to 30 An embodiment of the present invention discloses a camera device, which includes: a base module, a first camera module 200, a cylindrical member 300 and a second camera module 400.

[0064] The base module includes an annular track 110, a top cover 120 and a transparent cover 130. The top cover 120 has a mounting portion 121 for attaching the camera device to an external surface, that is, the top cover 120 has a mounting portion 121 for mounting the camera device to an external surface. The mounting portion 121 is used to mount the camera device as a whole to the external surface. The annular track 110 is provided on the top cover 120, and the annular track 110 is used to provide a moving path for the first camera module 200. The external surface can be the external surface of an installation base such as a wall or a roof.

[0065] The transparent cover 130 includes a first port portion 131, a second port portion 132, and an arc-shaped curved surface portion 133 extending from the first port portion 131 to the second port portion 132. The aperture of the first port portion 131 is smaller than the aperture of the second port portion 132, and the transparent cover 130 is mechanically coupled to the top cover 120 through the second port portion 132. The transparent cover 130 can be connected to the edge of the top cover 120 through the second port portion 132, and the transparent cover 130 and the top cover 120 can enclose a containing inner cavity, and the annular track 110 can be located in the containing inner cavity. Mechanical coupling refers to connection through a mechanical structure, for example, it can be connected by means of snap connection, buckle connection, etc., or it can be connected by a mechanical connector (such as a bolt).

[0066] The first camera module 200 is disposed in the accommodating inner cavity, and the first camera module 200 can shoot a target area through the transparent cover 130. The first camera module 200 can move circumferentially along the annular track 110.

[0067] The cylindrical member 300 includes a cylindrical member body 310 and a flange 320 provided at one end of the cylindrical member body 310 and extending in a horizontal direction. The flange 320 may protrude toward a side away from the inner side of the cylindrical member body 310 .

[0068] The second camera module 400 can perform a pitch motion or a horizontal rotation relative to the first camera module 200 and the cylindrical member 300 .

[0069] It should be noted that the description of the structure of the camera device in the embodiment of the present application is based on the position in which the central axis of the annular track 110 and the central axis of the cylindrical body 310 both extend in the vertical direction after the camera device is installed on the external surface through the mounting portion 121. When the camera device is installed in other orientations, the description of the position and movement form of each component (such as the first camera module 200, the second camera module 400, etc.) will also change accordingly.

[0070] Specifically, the camera device is constructed as follows: the second camera module 400 is mechanically coupled to the flange 320, the cylindrical body 310 is configured to pass through the first port portion 131 of the transparent cover 130, and protrude to the outside of the second port portion 132 of the transparent cover 130, and is mechanically coupled to the top cover 120, so that the inner wall of the arc-shaped curved surface portion 133 and the outer wall of the cylindrical body 310 form an annular accommodation space 101 that defines the first camera module 200, and the annular accommodation space 101 is arranged in a horizontal direction. The first camera module 200 can move circumferentially along the annular track 110, so that the first camera module 200 moves in the circumferential direction of the annular accommodation space 101, so that different target areas can be photographed in the circumferential direction of the annular accommodation space 101.

[0071] The second camera module 400 and the top cover 120 are located on opposite sides of the cylindrical body 310 .

[0072] The camera device disclosed in the embodiment of the present application sets a circular track 110 and a first camera module 200, so that the first camera module 200 can move circumferentially along the circular track 110, so that the first camera module 200 can shoot multiple angles in the horizontal plane, and sets a cylindrical member 300 and a second camera module 400, so that the second camera module 400 and the flange 320 are mechanically coupled, and the cylindrical member body 310 is configured to pass through the first port portion 131 of the transparent cover 130, protrude to the outside of the second port portion 132 of the transparent cover 130, and is mechanically coupled to the top cover 120, so that the second camera module 400 can rotate horizontally or perform a pitch movement, so that the second camera module 400 can shoot multiple angles in the horizontal plane, and shoot at different pitch angles. Since the first camera module 200 can shoot at multiple angles in the horizontal plane, and the second camera module 400 can shoot at multiple angles in the horizontal plane, as well as shoot at different pitch angles, the shooting range of the camera device can be expanded. In addition, the first camera module 200 and the second camera module 400 can monitor multiple target areas at the same time, thereby improving the shooting capability of the camera device.

[0073] Optionally, the first camera module 200 may include a first bracket 210 , a first camera 220 and a moving member 230 . The first camera 220 and the moving member 230 may be disposed on the first bracket 210 , and the moving member 230 may move along the annular track 110 .

[0074] The camera device disclosed in the embodiment of the present application is configured such that the first camera module 200 includes a first bracket 210, a first camera 220 and a movable member 230, so that the first camera 220 and the movable member 230 are both arranged on the first bracket 210. The movable member 230 can move along the circular track 110 and the first bracket 210 can drive the first camera 220 to move along the circular track 110, thereby enabling the first camera 220 to shoot multiple angles in the horizontal plane.

[0075] It should be noted that the moving member 230 may be a powered component, and the power portion of the moving member 230 may drive the moving member 230 to move along the annular track 110 as a whole, and the moving member 230 may drive the first camera module 200 to move along the annular track 110 as a whole.

[0076] For example, the moving member 230 may include a drive motor and a gear, the drive motor is connected to the gear, the annular track 110 may have a gear matching portion extending along the extension direction of the annular track 110, and the drive motor may drive the gear to move along the gear matching portion of the annular track 110, so that the moving member 230 moves along the annular track 110, thereby driving the first camera module 200 to move along the annular track 110 as a whole. Of course, the moving member 230 may also be a structure including a drive module and a slider, the slider may be sleeved on the annular track, and the drive module may drive the slider to move along the annular track. Of course, the moving member 230 may also be other structures, and the embodiments of the present application do not specifically limit this.

[0077] Optionally, the first camera module 200 may also be other structures, for example, the first camera module 200 may only include the first camera 220 and the moving member 230, and the first camera 220 may be directly disposed on the moving member 230. Of course, the first camera module 200 may also be other structures, and the embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit the structure of the first camera module 200.

[0078] In an optional embodiment, the base module may further include an annular second bracket 140, an annular first pressing plate 150 and an annular second pressing plate 160. The second bracket 140 may be connected to the top cover 120, and the annular track 110 may be provided on the second bracket 140, so that the annular track 110 is indirectly connected to the top cover 120 through the second bracket 140. The first pressing plate 150 and the second pressing plate 160 may be connected to the inner circle edge and the outer circle edge of the second bracket 140, respectively, and respectively form a first annular groove 102a and a second annular groove 102b. That is, the first pressing plate 150 and the inner circle edge of the second bracket 140 form the first annular groove 102a, and the second pressing plate 160 and the outer circle edge of the second bracket 140 form the second annular groove 102b. It should be noted that the first annular groove 102a and the second annular groove 102b are both arranged concentrically with the annular track 110.

[0079] The first bracket 210 has a first sliding portion 211 and a second sliding portion 212. The first pressing plate 150 and the second pressing plate 160 respectively install the first bracket 210 on the second bracket 140 through the first sliding portion 211 and the second sliding portion 212, and the first sliding portion 211 and the second sliding portion 212 respectively slide with the first annular groove 102a and the second annular groove 102b.

[0080] The camera device disclosed in the embodiment of the present application is provided with a second bracket 140, an annular first pressure plate 150 and an annular second pressure plate 160, so that the first pressure plate 150 and the second pressure plate 160 are respectively connected to the inner circle edge and the outer circle edge of the second bracket 140 and respectively form a first annular groove 102a and a second annular groove 102b, so that the first pressure plate 150 and the second pressure plate 160 respectively install the first bracket 210 on the second bracket 140 through the first sliding part 211 and the second sliding part 212. When the moving part 230 moves along the annular track 110, the first bracket 210 can make the movement of the first camera module 200 along the annular track 110 more stable through the sliding cooperation between the first sliding part 211 and the first annular groove 102a, and the sliding cooperation between the second sliding part 212 and the second annular groove 102b.

[0081] Optionally, the cylindrical body 310 can pass through the central area of ​​the first pressure plate 150 and be directly connected to the top cover 120. The aperture of the annular area formed by the cylindrical body 310 and the top cover 120 for assembly can be smaller than the aperture of the annular track 110, so that the annular track 110 is arranged outside the annular area formed at the connection between the cylindrical body 310 and the top cover 120, thereby facilitating the compactness of the camera device.

[0082] Specifically, the second camera module 400 may include a camera body 410 and a third bracket 420. The camera device may further include a fan module 500, one end of the third bracket 420 may be mechanically coupled to the camera body 410, the other end of the third bracket 420 may be mechanically coupled to the flange 320, and the other end of the third bracket 420 may support the fan module 500. The cylindrical body 310 may be covered with the fan module 500 so that the fan module 500 may be located in the space surrounded by the cylindrical body 310, and the cylindrical body 310 may be provided with a ventilation gap 311 connecting the space surrounded by the cylindrical body 310 and the annular accommodation space 101, and the airflow generated by the fan module 500 flows into the annular accommodation space 101 through the ventilation gap 311 to dissipate heat for the first camera module 200, and the flowing airflow may also avoid fogging on the transparent cover 130 to affect the shooting of the first camera module 200.

[0083] The camera device disclosed in the embodiment of the present application is configured such that the second camera module 400 is configured to include a camera body 410 and a third bracket 420, so that one end of the third bracket 420 is mechanically coupled to the camera body 410, the other end of the third bracket 420 is mechanically coupled to the flange 320, and the other end of the third bracket 420 supports the fan module 500, so that the fan module 500 is located in the space surrounded by the cylindrical body 310, so that the airflow generated by the fan module 500 flows into the annular accommodation space 101 through the ventilation gap 311 to dissipate heat for the first camera module 200. Since the fan module 500 is located in the space surrounded by the cylindrical body 310, it is possible to avoid interfering with the movement of the first camera module 200 by arranging the fan module 500 in the annular accommodation space 101.

[0084] Specifically, the camera body 410 may include a spherical shell and a second camera, the second camera may be disposed in the spherical shell, and the spherical shell may be mechanically coupled to the third bracket 420. The spherical shell is a transparent shell, the second camera may shoot the surrounding environment through the spherical shell, and the second camera may perform a pitch motion or a horizontal rotation relative to the first camera module 200 and the cylindrical member 300.

[0085] Optionally, the fan module 500 may include a fan 520 and an air outlet duct 510, and the air outlet 511 of the air outlet duct 510 may be opposite to the ventilation gap 311, so that the airflow generated by the fan 520 forms an air guide path through the air outlet 511 of the air outlet duct 510 and the ventilation gap 311, and flows into the annular accommodation space 101 to dissipate heat for the first camera module 200. Since the air outlet 511 of the air outlet duct 510 is opposite to the ventilation gap 311, the airflow generated by the fan 520 can be better circulated into the annular accommodation space 101, so that the first camera module 200 can be better dissipated, and the flowing airflow can also better avoid the generation of fog on the transparent cover 130 to affect the shooting of the first camera module 200.

[0086] In order to further make the airflow generated by the fan 520 flow better into the annular accommodation space 101, optionally, the air outlet 511 of the air outlet pipe 510 can be connected with the ventilation gap 311, so that the airflow generated by the fan 520 can flow better into the annular accommodation space 101. The plane defined by the air outlet 511 of the air outlet pipe 510 can be tangent to the circle defined by the side wall of the cylindrical body 310, so that the airflow generated by the fan 520 can flow along the circumferential direction of the annular accommodation space 101 after entering the annular accommodation space 101 through the air outlet 511 of the air outlet pipe 510 and the ventilation gap 311, and the flowing airflow can better dissipate the heat of the first camera module 200, and can better avoid the generation of fog on the transparent cover 130 to affect the shooting of the first camera module 200.

[0087] Optionally, the top end of the cylindrical body 310 may have a locking portion, which may be directly fixed to the top cover 120, the first pressure plate 150, the second pressure plate 160 and the second bracket 140 may all be sleeved outside the outer wall of the cylindrical body 310, the second port portion 132 of the transparent cover 130 may be mechanically coupled to the top cover 120, and the first port portion 131 of the transparent cover 130 may be mechanically coupled to the flange 320.

[0088] The camera device disclosed in the embodiment of the present application can improve the compactness of the camera device by sleeve-arranging the first pressing plate 150, the second pressing plate 160 and the second bracket 140 outside the outer wall of the cylindrical body 310. The second end portion 132 of the transparent cover 130 is mechanically coupled to the top cover 120, and the first end portion 131 of the transparent cover 130 is mechanically coupled to the flange 320, so that the installation of the transparent cover 130 is more stable.

[0089] In order to further improve the shooting capability of the camera device, optionally, the camera device may include a plurality of first camera modules 200, and the plurality of first camera modules 200 may be arranged in sequence along the circumferential direction of the annular accommodating space 101, so that shooting by the plurality of first camera modules 200 can further expand the shooting range of the camera device, thereby further improving the shooting capability of the camera device.
