The camera is very reliable and can be easily disassembled and installed, and the operation is very simple.

[0022] 2. This panoramic telescopic camera drives the movable cylinder to move by pressing the pressing cylinder, which puts the support spring in a stretched state. The movable cylinder drives the spring pin 1, which slides with the inclined groove to drive the transmission cylinder to rotate 45°. The transmission cylinder drives the transmission rod to rotate the transmission disk 45°. After that, the pressing cylinder is released, and the elastic force of the support spring drives the movable cylinder to move along the radial groove with the spring pin 1, so that the spring pin 1 returns to its original position. Therefore, each press can rotate the transmission disk 45°.

[0023] 3. This panoramic telescopic camera has a mating convex edge consisting of an arc-shaped outward extension portion, a primary retraction portion, a secondary retraction portion, and an arc-shaped connecting portion.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0042] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0043] Example: Figures 1-6 and Figure 12 As shown, the present invention provides a panoramic telescopic camera, comprising a base 1, a limiting cylinder 6 fixed to the base 1, and an outer rotating cylinder 2 rotatably disposed on the base 1. The outer rotating cylinder 2 is sleeved outside the limiting cylinder 6, and two spiral grooves 22 are formed on the inner wall of the outer rotating cylinder 2.

[0044] The camera unit is arranged in the limiting cylinder 6, which includes a moving cylinder 7, one end of which is connected to an extension cylinder 71;

[0045] The pressing unit 9 disposed within the movable cylinder 7 includes a transmission cylinder 92, a movable cylinder 96, and a transmission rod 93 disposed at the closed end of the transmission cylinder 92. A transmission slot 94 is formed on the outer wall of the transmission cylinder 92, and two spring pins 95 are provided through the movable cylinder 96 and are slidably connected to the transmission slot 94.

[0046] The mating unit 8 arranged in the extension tube 71 is composed of a transmission disk 85 that is sleeved and fixed on the outside of the transmission rod 93, a spring pin 82 that slides with the spiral groove 22, and a movable component that cooperates with the transmission disk 85. A mating flange is provided on one side of the transmission disk 85.

[0047] In this embodiment, spring pin 1 95 and spring pin 2 82 have the same structure, both including a fixed end, a movable end slidingly matched with the fixed end, and an elastic member for connecting the fixed end and the movable end. For example, the fixed end is set as a fixed cylinder, and a through hole is opened at one end of the fixed cylinder. The movable end is composed of a movable rod slidingly matched with the through hole and a sliding block slidingly arranged in the fixed cylinder. The sliding block is connected to the inner wall of the fixed cylinder through a spring piece, and the fixed cylinder is used to connect with the movable cylinder 96 or the connecting rod 83. The setting of the spring piece enables the movable end to adaptively slide smoothly in the transmission groove 94, the spiral groove 22 and the guide ring groove 21. This is one embodiment, and other embodiments may also be used.

[0048] In this embodiment, the transmission groove 94 is composed of eight oblique grooves and radial grooves that can connect adjacent oblique grooves. The radial grooves are radially arranged on the transmission cylinder 92. The arrangement of the eight oblique grooves and the radial grooves can rotate the transmission cylinder 92 45° each time the pressing cylinder 97 is pressed. The oblique grooves need to be slightly deeper than the radial grooves so that the spring pin 95 can move smoothly along the oblique grooves, thereby smoothly driving the transmission cylinder 92 to rotate 45°.

[0049] In addition, a mounting through hole for installing the transmission rod 93 is opened at the closed end of the transmission cylinder 92, and a positioning plate 99 for positioning the transmission rod 93 is set at one end of the transmission rod 93. The transmission rod 93 is fixed to the transmission cylinder 92 by a nut. The diameter of the positioning plate 99 is larger than the diameter of the mounting through hole, so that the positioning of the transmission rod 93 can be achieved. When used in conjunction with the nut, the transmission rod 93 can be fixed to the transmission cylinder 92.

[0050] It should be further explained that if the user needs to know clearly which state the spring pin 2 82 is in (there are three states: extrapolation, primary retraction, and secondary retraction), an angle sensor that can be electrically connected to the control motherboard 5 is provided on the transmission rod 93. The angle sensor measures the rotation angle and even the number of rotations of the transmission rod 93. The measurement signal is received by the control motherboard 5 and then processed and analyzed. The state of the spring pin 2 82 is determined by the measured rotation angle, which is convenient for users.

[0051] Among them, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7-Figure 9As shown, the movable component includes a connecting rod 83, a connecting spring 88 that is sleeved and fixed on the outside of the connecting rod 83, and a transmission wheel 86 that is arranged in the mounting bracket 81 and abuts against the matching convex edge. One end of the connecting rod 83 is connected to the closed end of the spring pin 2 82, and the other end is connected to the limit head 84, and the transmission wheel 86 is rotatably set on the limit head 84.

[0052] The transmission plate 85 is driven by the transmission rod 93, and the transmission wheel 86 is pushed by the arc-shaped outward-pushing portion 851, so that the limiting head 84 drives the connecting rod 83 to move outward from the mounting bracket 81, and the connecting spring 88 is in a stretched state. The movable end of the second spring pin 82 is driven by the connecting rod 83 to enter the spiral slide groove 22 or the guide ring groove 21. When the outer drum 2 is rotated, the spiral slide groove 22 can drive the second spring pin 82 to move, and the limiting cylinder 6 is used to limit the position. The second spring pin 82 drives the camera unit to extend or retract the camera unit, thereby storing the camera unit in the limiting cylinder 6 for protection.

[0053] After the camera unit is stored in the limiting cylinder 6, the pressing cylinder 97 is pressed, and the transmission disk 85 continues to rotate. The elastic force of the connecting spring 88 drives the second spring pin 82 to disengage the spiral slide groove 22. At this time, the transmission wheel 86 abuts against the first retracting portion 852. After that, rotating the outer rotating cylinder 2 will no longer drive the camera unit to move. This can effectively prevent the camera unit from extending from the limiting cylinder 6 due to misoperation, which is very reliable.

[0054] When the camera unit needs to be removed, when the spring pin 2 82 has been disengaged from the spiral slide groove 22, press the pressing cylinder 97 again, and similarly utilize the elastic force of the connecting spring 88 to disengage the spring pin 2 82 from the guide groove 61 or the locking groove 62. After that, the camera unit can be removed, making it easy to disassemble and install the camera unit, and the operation is very simple.

[0055] Among them, such as Figure 5 and Figure 7-Figure 9 As shown, the mating unit 8 further includes a mounting bracket 81 mounted in the extension tube 71. The mounting bracket 81 is provided with a T-shaped slot 87 that slidably engages with the second spring pin 82, and the two ends of the connecting spring 88 are respectively connected to the second spring pin 82 and the outer wall of the T-shaped slot 87;

[0056] A support member 89 is installed on one side of the mounting bracket 81 , and one end of the transmission rod 93 is rotatably connected to the support member 89 via a bearing, so that the transmission rod 93 is supported by the support member 89 .

[0057] In addition, three sliding protrusions are provided on the inner wall of the T-shaped slide groove 87, and a sliding groove that slides with the sliding protrusion is opened on the outer wall of the fixed end of the spring pin column 2 82. The sliding protrusion plays the role of supporting the spring pin column 2 82. At the same time, the sliding protrusion slides with the sliding groove to guide the spring pin column 2 82.

[0058] Among them, such as Figures 8-10 As shown, the mating convex edge is composed of two arc-shaped outward-pushing portions 851 and a connecting portion for connecting the two arc-shaped outward-pushing portions 851, and the connecting portion includes a primary retraction portion 852, a secondary retraction portion 853 and an arc-shaped connecting portion, and the two ends of the arc-shaped connecting portion are respectively connected to the primary retraction portion 852 and the secondary retraction portion 853, and the ends of the primary retraction portion 852 and the secondary retraction portion 853 away from the arc-shaped connecting portion are respectively connected to the two arc-shaped outward-pushing portions 851, and the arc-shaped outward-pushing portion 851 can enable the movable end of the spring pin 2 82 to enter the spiral slide groove 22; the primary retraction portion 852 is used in conjunction with the connecting spring 88 to enable the spring pin 2 82 to disengage from the spiral slide groove 22 or the guide ring groove 21; the secondary retraction portion 853 is used in conjunction with the connecting spring 88 to enable the spring pin 2 82 to disengage from the guide groove 61 or the locking groove 62.

[0059] Among them, such as Figure 6 and Figure 11 As shown, one end of the movable cylinder 96 is connected to a pressing cylinder 97 coaxial with the movable cylinder 96 , and one end of the pressing cylinder 97 is connected to a pressing cap 98 . A supporting spring 91 is also provided on the outside of the pressing cylinder 97 to support the pressing cylinder 97 .

[0060] When the pressing cylinder 97 is pressed, the pressing cylinder 97 drives the movable cylinder 96 to move and puts the support spring 91 in a stretched state, and the spring pin 95 is driven by the movable cylinder 96. The sliding cooperation between the spring pin 95 and the inclined groove drives the transmission cylinder 92 to rotate 45°, and the transmission rod 93 is driven by the transmission cylinder 92 to rotate the transmission disk 85 45°. Then, the pressing cylinder 97 is released, and the elastic force of the support spring 91 drives the movable cylinder 96 to move along the radial groove with the spring pin 95, so that the spring pin 95 returns to its original position.

[0061] Among them, such as Figure 6 As shown, the movable cylinder 7 is provided with a through hole that can accommodate the movable end of the spring pin 95 to pass through, and a support partition 72 is provided in the movable cylinder 7. The support partition 72 is provided with a sliding hole for sliding cooperation with the pressing cylinder 97, and the two ends of the support spring 91 are respectively connected to the support partition 72 and the movable cylinder 96, and the through hole is coaxial with the T-shaped slide groove 87. The pressing cap 98 and the movable cylinder 96 are respectively located on both sides of the support partition 72, and the support partition 72 plays the role of supporting the pressing cylinder 97.

[0062] Among them, such as Figure 4and Figure 12 As shown, one end of the outer rotating cylinder 2 is provided with a positioning ridge 23 protruding inward, and rotating ring grooves 24 are provided on both sides of the positioning ridge 23. A guide ring groove 21 connected to the spiral slide groove 22 is also provided on the inner wall of the outer rotating cylinder 2. The spiral slide groove 22 is slightly deeper than the guide ring groove 21, which is conducive to driving the camera unit. The guide ring groove 21 plays a guiding role. When the spiral slide groove 22 is not exactly aligned with the spring pin 2 82, the movable end of the spring pin 2 82 can be smoothly entered into the spiral slide groove 22 by rotating the outer rotating cylinder 2.

[0063] Among them, such as Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 13 As shown, the open end of the base 1 and one end of the limiting cylinder 6 are both provided with an annular protrusion 10 that movably cooperates with the rotating ring groove 24, the control mainboard 5 is installed in the limiting cylinder 6, and a guide groove 61 is provided on the inner wall of the limiting cylinder 6. The guide groove 61 is arranged radially and slides with the spring pin 2 82, and both ends of the guide groove 61 are connected with a locking groove 62, and one end of the limiting cylinder 6 is also provided with a connecting ring 63, which is fixedly connected to the open end of the base 1 by a bolt. The guide groove 61 is used to improve the directionality of the spring pin 2 82 when it moves, and the provided locking groove 62 is used to lock the spring pin 2 82 to fix the camera unit.

[0064] During assembly, the base 1, outer rotating cylinder 2 and limiting cylinder 6 can be assembled together in sequence by utilizing the movable cooperation between the annular protrusion 10 and the rotating ring groove 24. The base 1 and the limiting cylinder 6 are connected by bolts to complete the assembly of the base 1, outer rotating cylinder 2 and the limiting cylinder 6. This is not only simple to operate and fast to assemble, but also enables the outer rotating cylinder 2 to be rotatably connected to the base 1 and the limiting cylinder 6.

[0065] It should be noted that the control mainboard 5 includes a voice module and a Bluetooth module. The voice module is electrically connected to the microphone and the speaker; the Bluetooth module can be wirelessly connected to terminals such as mobile phones and computers.

[0066] Among them, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the base 1 is provided with a power supply battery 4, a microphone and a speaker. The power supply battery 4, the microphone and the speaker are electrically connected to the control main board 5 through wires. The power supply battery 4 is used to power the camera, and the power supply battery 4 and the base 1 serve as a support together. When the camera unit is extended, it can effectively avoid the situation where the camera falls over due to top-heavyness. A charging interface and a power button are also required to be provided on the base 1. The power supply battery 4 can be charged through the charging interface; the power button is used to turn the machine on and off; the microphone is used to receive sound, and the speaker is used to increase the volume.

[0067] In addition, a display screen can be provided on the base 1 to display the remaining power and the status of the spring pin 2 82. For example, when the spring pin 2 82 is in the outward-pushing state, it indicates that the movable end of the spring pin 2 82 can slide in the spiral slide groove 22. When it is in the first-stage retraction state, it indicates that the movable end of the spring pin 2 82 is disengaged from the spiral slide groove 22 and retracted into the guide groove 61. When it is in the second-stage retraction state, it indicates that the movable end of the spring pin 2 82 is disengaged from the guide groove 61, and the camera unit can be taken out from the limiting cylinder 6.

[0068] Among them, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the camera unit also includes four lens modules 3 that are arranged through the middle of the movable tube 7. The lens modules 3 are electrically connected to the control main board 5 through wires. Panoramic photography is achieved by setting the four lens modules 3. The camera unit is small in size, easy to carry, and suitable for use in various scenarios.

[0069] When working, pressing cylinder 97 is pressed, and movable cylinder 96 is moved by pressing cylinder 97 and supporting spring 91 is in a stretched state, and spring pin 1 95 is driven by movable cylinder 96, and the sliding cooperation of spring pin 1 95 and inclined groove is utilized to drive transmission cylinder 92 to rotate 45 degrees, and transmission rod 93 is driven by transmission cylinder 92, so that transmission plate 85 rotates 45 degrees, and transmission wheel 86 is pushed by arc-shaped outward pushing portion 851, so that limiting head 84 drives connecting rod 83 to move outward of mounting bracket 81 and connecting spring 88 is in a stretched state, and the movable end of spring pin 2 82 is driven by connecting rod 83 to enter spiral slide groove 22 or guide ring groove 21, when outer rotating cylinder 2 is rotated, spring pin 2 82 can be driven to move by spiral slide groove 22, and is limited by limiting cylinder 6, and spring pin 2 82 is used to drive camera unit, so that camera unit is extended, and four lens modules 3 are used for panoramic shooting, and vice versa, the camera unit is stored in limiting cylinder 6 for protection;

[0070] After the camera unit is stored in the limiting cylinder 6, the pressing cylinder 97 is pressed, and the transmission disk 85 continues to rotate, and the elastic force of the connecting spring 88 drives the spring pin 2 82 to disengage from the spiral slide groove 22. At this time, the transmission wheel 86 abuts against the first-level retraction part 852, and then the rotating outer drum 2 will no longer drive the camera unit to move.

[0071] Finally, it should be noted that the above descriptions are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art will be able to modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or substitute equivalents for some of the technical features.
