[0027] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0028] Please see attached Figure 1-4 A liftable in-vehicle surveillance camera in an embodiment of the utility model includes a mounting base 1, and a plurality of holes are reserved on the edge of the mounting base 1. During installation, the mounting base 1 can be connected and fixed to the ceiling of the car by screws. A lifting mechanism 2 is fixed at the middle part of the lower end surface of the mounting base 1, and a camera mounting mechanism 3 is fixed at the lower end of the lifting mechanism 2. A surveillance camera 6 is fixed inside the camera mounting mechanism 3, and the camera mounting mechanism 3 includes a lifting seat 31.

[0029] The lifting mechanism 2 includes a seat body 21, and guide pillars 23 are fixedly connected on both sides of the interior of the seat body 21. The outer ends of the two guide pillars 23 are slidably sleeved with a lifting sleeve 25. When the lifting sleeve 25 moves up and down, the two guide pillars 23 can constrain and guide the lifting sleeve 25 to ensure that the lifting sleeve 25 can move up and down stably.

[0030] A locking seat 26 is fixed between the two lifting sleeves 25, and a labyrinth chute 22 is provided at the inner bottom of the seat body 21. A locking column 27 is rotatably connected to the outer end of the locking seat 26. The upper end of the locking column 27 is slidably connected to the labyrinth chute 22. The labyrinth chute is divided into two parts, the upper part is a "U" shape with a concave shape, and the lower part is a straight line. When the lifting sleeve 25 moves upward, the locking column 27 slides along the straight part of the labyrinth chute 22. When it slides to the "U" shaped part, it passes through the inclined side wall and the inclined wall of the chute. The guidance of the angle allows the locking column 27 to move from one side to the "U"-shaped concave part, and then be locked by gravity, thereby stabilizing the camera in a high position. If the camera needs to be adjusted to a low position, the camera mounting mechanism 3 can be pushed upward, so that the lifting sleeve 25 drives the locking column 27 to move upward and contact the bevel. Then, the locking column 27 is guided by the bevel and slides out of the concave from the other side and returns to the straight slide groove part, so that the lifting sleeve 25 can be lowered, thereby realizing the lifting and lowering of the surveillance camera 6.

[0031] A positioning head 32 is fixed on one side of the lifting seat 31. The positioning head 32 corresponds to the position of the two lifting sleeves 25 and is fixed by screws. The positioning head 32 is connected and fixed to the lifting sleeves 25. When in use, the lifting seat 31 is pushed to drive the two lifting sleeves 25 to move. At the same time, the positioning head 32 and the lifting sleeves 25 are provided with a plurality of symmetrically arranged screw connection holes. After being connected and fixed to the lifting sleeves 25, the connection has strong stability and uniform force, and is not prone to detachment and cracking after long-term use.

[0032] A rack 28 is fixed to one side of the seat body 21, and a damping gear 35 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the lifting seat 31. The damping gear 35 is meshed with the rack 28. The damping gear 35 is a bidirectional damping gear, which can provide reverse resistance when the lifting seat 31 is lifted or lowered, to prevent vibration caused by lifting too quickly, thereby increasing the service life of the parts and the surveillance camera 6. At the same time, the damping setting also reduces the impact of vehicle vibration on the camera during driving.

[0033] Slide rails 29 are fixed on both sides of the outer surface of the seat body 21, and slide sleeves 33 are fixed on both sides of the lower end surface of the lifting seat 31. The slide sleeves 33 are slidably connected with the slide rails 29. The lifting seat 31 is connected to the slide rails 29 of the seat body 21 through the slide sleeves 33 and can slide stably.

[0034] A mounting seat 34 is fixed to the lower end of the seat body 21 , and the monitoring camera 6 is fixedly connected to the mounting seat 34 .

[0035] An outer protective shell 36 and a rear protective shell 37 are fixed to the upper and lower sides of the mounting seat 34 respectively. The outer protective shell 36 and the rear protective shell 37 cover the outer end of the surveillance camera 6. The outer protective shell 36 and the rear protective shell 37 can protect the surveillance camera 6. At the same time, the outer ends of the outer protective shell 36 and the rear protective shell 37 are rounded, which is also convenient for manual pushing and lifting.

[0036] The outer ends of the two guide pillars 23 are both sleeved with springs 24, and the upper and lower ends of the springs 24 are respectively connected to the seat body 21 and the sliding sleeve 33. The springs 24 are arranged to facilitate resetting the camera from a high position to a low position. At the same time, when the camera is in a low position, the camera mounting mechanism 3 can be pressed in a low position by elastic force to improve stability.

[0037] The surveillance camera 6 is electrically connected to a camera harness 5, which is fixedly connected to the mounting base 1 via a harness hanging ring 4. The camera harness 5 is provided to supply power to the camera and to transmit data between the camera and external equipment.

[0038] The above is a detailed description of an embodiment of the utility model, but the content is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model and cannot be considered to limit the scope of implementation of the utility model. All equivalent changes and improvements made within the scope of application of the utility model should still fall within the scope of the patent coverage of the utility model.
