[0035] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The utility model proposes a car camera 1000, including a hanging rod 1, a mounting mechanism and a supporting mechanism; the hanging rod 1 extends in the up-down direction; the mounting mechanism includes a mounting assembly 2 and a pan-tilt frame 3, the mounting assembly 2 extends in the radial direction of the hanging rod 1, the mounting assembly 2 is movably arranged on the hanging rod 1 in the up-down direction, the pan-tilt frame 3 is movably arranged on the mounting assembly 2, and the pan-tilt frame 3 can move back and forth along the extension direction of the mounting assembly 2 under the action of external force, and the pan-tilt frame 3 is used for detachable installation of the shooting device; the supporting mechanism includes two first supporting assemblies 6, and the two first supporting assemblies 6 are respectively arranged at the upper end and the lower end of the hanging rod 1.

[0036] In this embodiment, the hanging rod 1 is installed on the corresponding vehicle door through two first support components 6 at the upper and lower ends. The length of the hanging rod 1 itself is adjustable, so it can adapt to vehicle doors of different heights. The mounting component 2 is movably arranged on the hanging rod 1 along the up and down directions to adjust to a suitable shooting height; the gimbal frame 3 is used to install a shooting device, such as a sports camera, a digital camera, a mobile phone, etc. Since the gimbal frame 3 is movably arranged on the mounting component 2, the position of the shooting device can be conveniently adjusted through the movement of the gimbal frame 3, which is convenient for the photographer to shoot.

[0037] In order to improve the practicality of the vehicle camera 1000, in one embodiment of the present utility model, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The mounting assembly 2 includes a mounting arm 21 and a linear guide rail 22. The mounting arm 21 is movably arranged on the hanging rod 1 along the up and down directions. The linear guide rail 22 is detachably arranged above the mounting arm 21. The mounting arm 21 and the linear guide rail 22 both extend along the radial direction of the hanging rod 1; the pan head frame 3 includes a mounting seat 31 and a slider 32. The slider 32 is movably arranged on the linear guide rail 22. The mounting seat 31 is arranged on the slider 32. The mounting seat 31 is used for detachable installation of the shooting device. Among them, the linear guide rail 22 is detachably connected to the mounting arm 21, and the mounting seat 31 is also detachably connected to the slider 32. At the same time, the mounting seat 31 can not only be installed on the slider 32, but also directly installed on the end of the mounting arm 21 away from the hanging rod 1. When the mounting seat 31 is installed on the end of the mounting arm 21 away from the hanging rod 1, the position of the mounting seat 31 is fixed, which can meet the shooting needs in some situations; when it is necessary to change the position of the shooting device in a large range in the horizontal direction, it is only necessary to install the linear guide rail 22 on the mounting arm 21, and then connect the linear guide rail 22 and the mounting seat 31 through the slider 32, so that the mounting seat 31 can move back and forth along the extension direction of the linear guide rail 22 under the action of external force, thereby achieving the purpose of changing the shooting position. In addition, since the linear guide rail 22 is detachably connected to the mounting arm 21, when storing the car shooter 1000, the linear guide rail 22 can be disassembled and then stored, thereby reducing the space required for storage.

[0038] In order to limit the range of motion of the slider 32, in one embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figure 2 The mounting assembly 2 also includes two limit blocks 23, which are respectively arranged at the two ends of the linear guide rail 22. The slider 32 can abut against any limit block 23 for limiting. Through the setting of the limit block 23, when the slider 32 slides to any end of the linear guide rail 22, it will abut against a limit block 23, thereby preventing the slider 32 from falling off the linear guide rail 22.

[0039] In order to stably install the linear guide rail 22, in one embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The mounting assembly 2 further includes a positioning plate 24 and a locking seat 25; the positioning plate 24 is disposed on the mounting arm 21, and one end of the positioning plate 24 away from the mounting arm 21 is connected to one end of the linear guide 22 facing the mounting rod 1; the locking seat 25 is disposed at one end of the mounting arm 21 away from the mounting rod 1, and the upper end of the locking seat 25 protrudes from the mounting arm 21 and is connected to the linear guide 22. The linear guide 22 can be fixed at two points by the positioning plate 24 and the locking seat 25 to ensure the stability of the connection between the linear guide 22 and the mounting arm 21. In some scenarios, the mounting seat 31 can be directly mounted on the locking seat 25 for the camera to be mounted.

[0040] Furthermore, in one embodiment of the utility model, the mounting arm 21 is provided with a plurality of positioning hole groups, and the plurality of positioning hole groups are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the mounting arm 21, and the positioning plate 24 can be detachably connected to any positioning hole group; the linear guide rail 22 is provided with a plurality of mounting holes, and the upper end of the locking seat 25 can be detachably connected to any mounting hole. In this way, by selecting different positioning hole groups and mounting holes, the position of the linear guide rail 22 relative to the mounting arm 21 can be changed, that is, the position of the linear guide rail 22 relative to the hanging rod 1 is changed, thereby changing the shooting position to meet the shooting requirements in different scenes. Among them, the distance between two adjacent positioning hole groups is equal to the distance between two adjacent mounting holes.

[0041] Specifically, in one embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The linear guide 22 includes a guide rod 221 and two guide rails 222. The guide rail 222 extends in the radial direction of the hanging rod 1. The guide rail 222 is formed with a slide groove. The two inner side walls opposite to the slide groove are formed with a semicircular receiving groove, and each guide rail 222 is partially received in the semicircular receiving groove; a pulley 322 is provided at the end of the slider 32 away from the support frame 31, and the outer peripheral wall of the pulley 322 is formed with an annular groove, and part of the structure of the two guide rails 222 is located in the annular groove. In this way, when assembling the linear guide 22, a limit block 23 is first installed at one end of the guide rod 221, and then the two guide rails 222 are respectively inserted into the semicircular receiving grooves, and then the pulley 322 of the slider 32 is clamped into the guide rod 221, and finally a limit block 23 is installed at the other end of the guide rod 221. In this way, the slider 32 can be limited by the two guide rails 222. On the one hand, it can prevent the slider 32 from detaching during the sliding process, and on the other hand, it can prevent the slider 32 from directly contacting the bottom wall of the slide groove. There is a reserved space between the slider 32 and the bottom wall of the slide groove. When the upper end of the locking seat 25 is connected to the linear guide rail by screws, part of the structure of the screw can be accommodated in the reserved space, and then during the sliding process of the slider 32, it will not contact the screw, ensuring smooth sliding.

[0042] For the convenience of storage, in one embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The mounting mechanism further includes a pipe clamp 4 and a connecting plate 5. The pipe clamp 4 is disposed around the hanging rod 1. The connecting plate 5 is detachably connected to the pipe clamp 4. The mounting assembly 2 is detachably connected to the connecting plate 5. Thus, when storing the vehicle slapper 1000, the mounting assembly 2 can be separated from the hanging rod 1 for storage, thereby reducing the space required for storage. In addition, two pipe clamps 4 are provided to improve the connection strength between the mounting assembly 2 and the hanging rod 1.

[0043] It is understandable that when shooting, the photographic device is located at the end of the mounting assembly 2 away from the hanging rod 1, resulting in the end of the mounting assembly 2 away from the hanging rod 1 being subjected to a greater force. In order to ensure the connection strength of the vehicle camera 1000, in one embodiment of the present utility model, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The support mechanism also includes a second support assembly 7, which includes a mounting rod 71 and a first suction cup 72. One end of the mounting rod 71 is arranged at the end of the mounting assembly 2 away from the hanging rod 1, and the first suction cup 72 is arranged at the other end of the mounting rod 71 and connected to the mounting rod 71 through a hinge. The first suction cup 72 is used to connect to the car door. By arranging the second support assembly 7 at the end of the mounting assembly 2 away from the hanging rod 1, the second support assembly 7 and the two first support assemblies 6 at the upper and lower ends of the hanging rod 1 form a three-point support structure, thereby ensuring the stability of the installation of the car patter 1000. In addition, the opening angle of the hinge can be adjusted to facilitate connection with different types of car doors.

[0044] Specifically, the structures of the two first support components 6 can be the same or different. In one embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figure 1 The first support assembly 6 arranged at the upper end of the hanging rod 1 includes a first support rod 61, abutment 62 and a strap structure 63. The first support rod 61 extends along the radial direction of the hanging rod 1. One end of the first support rod 61 is fixed to the hanging rod 1 to adapt to the distance between the hanging rod 1 and the vehicle door, so as to avoid the interference of the shooting device with the concave and convex shape of the vehicle door surface and inconvenience in installation. The abutment 62 is fixed to the other end of the first support rod 61 and is used to contact the surface of the upper end of the vehicle door frame to provide a certain contact area, thereby improving the connection strength. The strap of the strap structure 63 can be wrapped around the outside of the abutment 62 and wrapped and fixed on the frame of the vehicle door so that the abutment 62 is tightly attached to the vehicle door. The strap structure 63 adopts the structural form of a ratchet tensioning belt to bind and fix the abutment 62. The tightness of the strap is adjusted by the cooperation of the ratchet and the pawl to ensure the stability and strength of the connection. The first support assembly 6 disposed at the lower end of the hanging rod 1 includes a second support rod 64 and a second suction cup 65. One end of the second support rod 64 is movably mounted to the lower end of the hanging rod 1 along the radial direction of the hanging rod 1; the second suction cup 65 is connected to the other end of the second support rod 64 through a hinge, and is used to be adsorbed to the surface of the lower side of the door. The fixing form of the second suction cup 65 is stable in structure and easy to disassemble and assemble. The adjustment of the second support rod 64 allows the distance between the hanging rod 1 and the door to be adjusted, thereby adapting to different door shapes and sizes of shooting devices, which is more flexible and has good versatility.

[0045] Furthermore, in one embodiment of the present invention, the first suction cup 72 and the second suction cup 65 are magnetic suction cups, which are standard accessories and easy to use and install. In addition, the magnetic suction cups have a large suction force and are not affected by environmental factors such as wind, sand, rain, etc. In another embodiment of the present invention, the first suction cup 72 and the second suction cup 65 are rubber vacuum suction cups, which will not damage the car door and are suitable for car doors of all materials.

[0046] In order to adapt to different door shapes, in one embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figure 1 The hanging rod 1 includes an outer tube 11, an inner tube 12 and a locking sleeve 13. The inner tube 12 is movably inserted into the outer tube 11. The locking sleeve 13 is sleeved on one end of the outer tube 11 facing the inner tube 12. The locking sleeve 13 is used to limit the movement of the inner tube 12. By adjusting the position of the inner tube 12 relative to the outer tube 11, the length of the hanging rod 1 can be changed to adapt to different door shapes. The mounting assembly 2 is movably arranged on the outer tube 11 in the up-down direction.

[0047] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model, and does not limit the patent scope of the utility model. All equivalent structural changes made by using the contents of the utility model specification and drawings under the utility model concept, or directly / indirectly used in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the utility model.
