Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of self-service camera, and specifically relates to a self-service camera platform. The utility model also relates to a self-service camera with the self-service camera platform. Background Art

[0002] In the prior art, self-service photo taking machines that can adjust the photo angle can be roughly divided into two types. One is an ID photo all-in-one machine for self-service ID photo taking, in which a camera and a control box with a display screen are fixed on the machine platform, and a lifting chair and a background cloth for users to sit on are set in front of the camera lens. The seat height can be adjusted by lifting and lowering to adapt to the height of different people, so as to take ID photos that meet the requirements; the other is a photo selfie machine for leisure and entertainment, in which the control box is fixed at the bottom of the machine platform, and the camera can be lifted and lowered on the top of the machine platform. The user needs to lower his head to set the photo conditions, and then raise his head to face the camera lens to complete the photo.

[0003] The functional components of the above two self-service cameras are fixed on the camera platform. When upgrading or repairing the hardware, the entire camera needs to be returned to the factory, or a special person needs to be dispatched to the site, which is costly and time-consuming. In addition, during the photo shooting process, the user cannot see the real-time image captured by the camera on the control box, and cannot make targeted adjustments to their own status, thus failing to give full play to the advantages of self-service photography.

[0004] In fact, there are not many parts that have a significant impact on user experience and film quality. The most critical ones are the camera and the control box, which are also the parts with a relatively high return rate on the entire self-service camera. After repair or hardware upgrade, the camera and the control box need to be debugged together, so they usually need to be returned to the factory together. Their total weight and space occupation are not large. When the camera and the control box are installed in close proximity, users can naturally see the real-time images captured by the camera on the control box during the photo shooting process, making it easier to take satisfactory photos. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, it is necessary to provide a self-service camera stand with a detachable mounting box and the mounting box can be raised and lowered.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides the following technical solutions:

[0007] A self-service camera platform comprises a vertically arranged platform body, a moving component that can reciprocate up and down along the platform body, and a mounting box for mounting a camera and a control box.
