The camera 1 is supported by the connecting block 15 and the connecting seat 10, so that the camera 1 can shoot violations. At the same time, the connecting block 15 is rotatably connected to the first articulated seat 16, so that the camera 1 can swing around the first articulated seat 16 to adjust the angle of the camera 1.

[0036] like Figure 3 As shown, a groove 7 is provided on the upper part of the connecting seat 10, and an insert block 9 is arranged in the groove 7. The upper part of the insert block 9 is connected to the camera 1, and a storage groove 13 is provided on one of the sides of the insert block 9. A first spring 8 and a buckle 11 are arranged in the storage groove 13. The two ends of the first spring 8 are respectively connected to the buckle 11 and the bottom of the storage groove 13. The first spring 8 facilitates the buckle 11 to move toward the inside of the storage groove 13 and then reset.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, a baffle 2 is provided on the upper part of the camera 1 and is provided along the direction of the camera 1. The length of the baffle 2 is greater than the length of the camera 1. One end of the baffle 2 is flush with the rear end of the camera 1, so that the lens position of the camera 1 can be shielded by the baffle 2. On the one hand, it can prevent the lens position of the camera 1 from touching foreign objects such as branches and causing damage when adjusting the angle of the camera 1. On the other hand, it can also prevent foreign objects such as branches from falling on the camera 1, thereby protecting the camera 1.

[0038] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, a slide groove 3 is provided on the upper part of the camera 1 along its length direction, and two sliders 4 are arranged in the slide groove 3, each slider 4 is slidably connected with the slide groove 3 along the length direction of the slide groove 3, that is, each slider 4 can only slide along the slide groove 3 and will not fall out of the slide groove 3, each slider 4 is connected to the adjacent end of the slide groove 3 through a second spring 14, and the second spring 14 facilitates the corresponding slider 4 to reset after movement, and a support rod 5 is arranged between each slider 4 and the camera 1, and the two ends of each support rod 5 are respectively hinged with the slider 4 and the baffle 2, and the two ends of each support rod 5 are respectively provided with A fixed block 6, one of which is hinged to the slider 4, and the other is hinged to the baffle 2. The two support rods 5 are tilted and have different tilting directions. The two support rods 5, the two sliders 4 and the two second springs 14 facilitate the adjustment of the distance between the baffle 2 and the camera 1, and provide buffering for the baffle 2. On the one hand, when adjusting the angle of the camera 1, the lens position of the camera 1 can be prevented from touching foreign objects such as branches, thereby preventing the camera 1 from being damaged. On the other hand, it can also provide buffering when branches fall on the baffle 2, thereby further protecting the camera 1.

[0039] Working principle: When the line of sight of camera 1 is affected by tree growth, construction or other obstacles, the motor 21 is started, the motor 21 drives the threaded rod 20 to rotate, the threaded rod 20 drives the adjustment block 19 to slide along the adjustment slot 18, and the adjustment block 19 drives the lower end of the adjustment rod 22 to move, so that the angle between the adjustment rod 22 and the camera 1 changes, driving the front end of the camera 1 to swing up and down, adjusting the shooting angle of the camera 1, so that the camera 1 avoids the obstruction of obstacles and ensures the normal shooting of the camera 1.

[0040] When the front end of the camera 1 swings up and down, if it encounters a foreign object such as a branch, the baffle 2 first contacts the foreign object such as the branch, and the distance between the baffle 2 and the camera 1 is adjusted through the buffering effect of the two support rods 5, the two sliders 4 and the two second springs 14, so that the baffle 2 can smoothly pass through the foreign object such as the branch, thereby preventing the camera 1 from being damaged during the angle adjustment process.

[0041] It is to be understood that the present invention is described by some embodiments, and it is known to those skilled in the art that various changes or equivalent substitutions may be made to these features and embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. In addition, under the teachings of the present invention, these features and embodiments may be modified to adapt to specific circumstances and materials without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed herein, and all embodiments falling within the scope of the claims of this application are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
