If facial recognition payment function needs to be added on this basis, it is generally necessary to attach a depth camera to the cash register and other equipment. The depth camera cannot be directly fixed on the cash register and needs to be installed and fixed with a hanging bracket. However, each existing hanging bracket can only be applied to cash registers of a specific thickness, which has poor versatility and is not conducive to promotion and application. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of the present application is to provide a hanging bracket and a camera device to solve the technical problem of poor versatility of hanging brackets in the prior art.

[0004] In a first aspect, a hanging bracket is provided for connecting a camera to a terminal device, the hanging bracket comprising a bracket body and a locking assembly; a mounting portion for mounting the camera is provided on the top of the bracket body, the bracket body comprising a main top arm and a forearm and a rear arm connected to two ends of the main top arm; the locking assembly is installed on the rear arm, the locking assembly comprising an abutment block, an adjustment rod and an adjustment knob; the adjustment rod is installed on the rear arm and can move forward and backward relative to the rear arm, the abutment block and the adjustment knob are respectively connected to two ends of the adjustment rod, the abutment block is located between the forearm and the rear arm, and the adjustment knob is located on the side of the rear arm away from the forearm; the forearm and the abutment block define a clamping space for clamping the terminal device.

[0005] By using an adjustment rod that can move forward and backward on the rear arm, the adjustment knob can be used to move the adjustment rod forward and backward, thereby changing the distance between the abutment block and the front arm and adjusting the thickness of the clamping space. Thus, the thickness of the clamping space is adjustable, and the hanging bracket can be suitable for terminal devices of different thickness specifications, effectively improving the versatility of the hanging bracket and facilitating the promotion and application of the hanging bracket.

[0006] In some embodiments, the adjustment rod is formed with an external thread, the rear arm is formed with a threaded hole, and the adjustment rod is threadedly connected with the threaded hole.

[0007] Through the cooperation of the external thread and the threaded hole, the adjustment rod will move forward and backward. At the same time, the threaded connection can also fix the adjustment rod, so that the adjustment rod is not easy to move forward and backward at will, and the on-hook bracket is fixed on the terminal device with better stability.

[0008] In some embodiments, a hinge ball is provided at one end of the adjustment rod connected to the abutment block, and the abutment block is hinged to the hinge ball.

[0009] In some embodiments, the locking assembly further includes a locking member, which is disposed between the abutment block and the adjustment knob and is threadedly connected to the adjustment rod, and the locking member can move forward and backward relative to the adjustment rod.

[0010] The locking piece can be used to lock the adjusting rod and the rear arm after the adjusting rod is adjusted, so as to prevent the adjusting rod from moving forward and backward, thereby improving the fixing reliability of the locking assembly and the rear arm, and thus improving the fixing reliability of the hanging bracket and the terminal equipment.

[0011] In some embodiments, there are two locking assemblies, and the two locking assemblies are spaced apart.

[0012] By arranging two locking components side by side at intervals, the locking components and the forearm form a herringbone layout, thereby improving the fixing reliability of the hanging bracket and the terminal equipment, and further improving the stability of the camera device.

[0013] In some embodiments, there are two rear arms, which are spaced apart from each other, and each rear arm is provided with a locking assembly; the bracket body also includes a connecting arm, which connects one end of the two rear arms away from the main top arm.

[0014] By providing two rear arms and respectively providing a locking assembly on each rear arm, it is possible to ensure that there is a sufficient interval between the two locking assemblies, thereby improving the fixing reliability of the on-hook bracket and the terminal device.

[0015] In some embodiments, the hanging bracket also includes a first rubber pad and a second rubber pad, which are respectively arranged at the bottom of the main top arm and the back of the forearm; the locking assembly also includes an abutting rubber pad, which is arranged on the side of the abutting block opposite to the forearm.

[0016] In some embodiments, the support body further includes a secondary top arm, which is connected to an end of the main top arm away from the forearm and is higher than the main top arm, and the mounting portion is disposed on the top surface of the secondary top arm.

[0017] Since the secondary top arm is higher than the main top arm, the bottom of the camera is higher than the main top arm, thereby reducing the risk of the camera's field of view being blocked by the main top arm.

[0018] In some embodiments, the rear arm includes a first sub-arm, a transition arm and a second sub-arm, the two ends of the transition arm are respectively connected to the first sub-arm and the second sub-arm, the first sub-arm and the second sub-arm are parallel to the forearm, and the first sub-arm is closer to the forearm than the second sub-arm.

[0019] The first sub-arm and the second sub-arm have a distance difference in the front-to-back direction, so that the rear arm can form an installation space to accommodate the abutment block, which can make the overall structure of the hook bracket more compact.

[0020] In a second aspect, a camera device is provided, comprising a camera and a hanging bracket according to any one of the above-mentioned embodiments, wherein the camera is mounted on a mounting portion of the hanging bracket.

[0021] The beneficial effects of the hanging bracket and camera device provided by the present application are:

[0022] The forearm can abut the front of the terminal device, the abutment block can abut the rear of the terminal device, the main top arm can be placed on the top of the terminal device, the abutment block and the forearm clamp the terminal device in the thickness direction, and then fix the hanging bracket on the terminal device. Through the adjustment rod that can move forward and backward on the rear arm, the adjustment rod can be moved forward and backward by adjusting the knob, thereby changing the distance between the abutment block and the forearm, and adjusting the thickness of the clamping space. Therefore, the thickness of the clamping space is adjustable, and then the hanging bracket can be used for terminal devices of different thickness specifications, effectively improving the versatility of the hanging bracket, and facilitating the promotion and application of the hanging bracket.

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of this application, the meaning of "plurality" is two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0039] The present application embodiment provides a camera device, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the camera device includes a camera 100 and a hook bracket, and the camera 100 can be connected to the terminal device 200 through the hook bracket. The camera 100 can be installed on the hook bracket, and the hook bracket can be fixed on the terminal device 200. The camera 100 can be a depth camera, an RGB camera, etc. The terminal device 200 can be a cash register, a TV, etc.

[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the hanging bracket includes a bracket body 1 and a locking assembly 2. The top of the bracket body 1 is provided with a mounting portion for mounting the camera 100. The bracket body 1 includes a main top arm 11 and a forearm 12 and a rear arm 13 connected to both ends of the main top arm 11; the locking assembly 2 is installed on the rear arm 13, and the locking assembly 2 includes an abutment block 21, an adjustment rod 22 and an adjustment knob 23.

The abutment block 21 and the adjustment knob 23 are respectively connected to both ends of the adjustment rod 22, the abutment block 21 is located between the forearm 12 and the rear arm 13, and the adjustment knob 23 is located on the side of the rear arm 13 away from the forearm 12; the forearm 12 and the abutment block 21 define a clamping space 3 for clamping the terminal device 200.

[0041] The forearm 12 can abut the front of the terminal device 200, the abutment block 21 can abut the rear of the terminal device 200, the main top arm 11 can be placed on the top of the terminal device 200, and the abutment block 21 and the forearm 12 clamp the terminal device 200 in the thickness direction, thereby fixing the hook bracket on the terminal device 200. Through the adjustment rod 13 that can move forward and backward on the rear arm 13, the adjustment rod 13 can be moved forward and backward by adjusting the knob 23, thereby changing the distance between the abutment block 21 and the forearm 12, and adjusting the thickness of the clamping space 3. Therefore, the thickness of the clamping space 3 is adjustable, and the hook bracket can be suitable for terminal devices 200 of different thickness specifications, effectively improving the versatility of the hook bracket, and facilitating the promotion and application of the hook bracket.

[0042] In one embodiment, if Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the hook bracket also includes a first rubber pad 4 and a second rubber pad 5, the first rubber pad 4 is arranged at the bottom of the main top arm 11, and the second rubber pad 5 is arranged on the back of the forearm 12. By arranging the first rubber pad 4 and the second rubber pad 5, it is possible to prevent the main top arm 11 and the forearm 12 from directly contacting the terminal device 200 and scratching the terminal device 200. Among them, the first rubber pad 4 and the second rubber pad 5 can be a silicone pad, a rubber pad, etc.

[0043] In one embodiment, if Figures 3 to 5As shown, the adjusting rod 22 is formed with an external thread, the rear arm 13 is formed with a threaded hole, the adjusting rod 22 is threadedly connected to the rear arm 13, when the adjusting rod 22 rotates, the adjusting rod 22 will move forward and backward through the cooperation of the external thread and the threaded hole, and the threaded connection can also play a role in fixing the adjusting rod 22, so that the adjusting rod 22 is not easy to move forward and backward at will, and the stability of the on-hook bracket fixed on the terminal device 200 is better. In one embodiment, the rear arm 13 is formed with a boss, and the boss is formed with a threaded hole to increase the thickness of the threaded hole and improve the connection stability between the adjusting rod 22 and the rear arm 13.

[0044] In one embodiment, if Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the circumference of the adjusting knob 23 is provided with concave-convex patterns 231, which can increase the friction when the user holds the adjusting knob 23, making it easier for the user to operate the adjusting knob 23. The adjusting knob 23 and the adjusting rod 22 can be an integrated structure to ensure the connection stability between the adjusting knob 23 and the adjusting rod 22.

[0045] In one embodiment, if Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the locking assembly 2 further includes an abutting rubber pad 24, which is arranged on the front side of the abutting block 21, that is, on the side opposite to the forearm 12. By providing the abutting rubber pad 24, it is possible to prevent the abutting block 21 from directly contacting the terminal device 200, thereby preventing the locking assembly 2 from scratching the terminal device 200. The abutting rubber pad 24 can be made of materials such as silicone.

[0046] In one embodiment, the abutment block 21 is spherically hinged to one end of the adjustment rod 22. The abutment block 21 can rotate in the spherical direction of the center of the ball with one end of the adjustment rod 22, so that the angle of the abutment block 21 relative to the adjustment rod 22 is adjustable, and then the angle of the abutment surface of the abutment block 21 abutting the terminal device 200 is adjustable, so that the abutment block 21 can adapt to the surface inclination angles (such as inclined surfaces, curved surfaces, etc.) of different terminal devices 200, without the need to customize and develop adaptive hanging brackets for terminal devices 200 with different backs. The hanging bracket of the present application has a wider application scenario.

[0047] In one embodiment, a hinge ball is provided at one end of the adjusting rod 22 connected to the abutting block 21, the abutting block is hinged to the hinge ball, and the abutting block 21 rotates in the spherical direction relative to the adjusting rod 22. The adjusting rod 22 and the abutting block 21 are spherically hinged, so that the abutting block 21 can automatically keep in contact with the surface of the terminal device 200 when abutting against the terminal device 200 with different shapes of the back, thereby improving the versatility and installation reliability of the hanging bracket.

[0048] In one embodiment, if Figure 6As shown, the locking assembly 2 also includes a locking member 25, which is threadedly connected to the adjustment rod 22. The locking member 25 is disposed between the abutment block 21 and the adjustment knob 23 and is threadedly connected to the adjustment rod 22. The locking member 25 can move forward and backward relative to the adjustment rod 22. The locking member 25 can be used to lock the adjustment rod 22 and the rear arm 13 after the adjustment rod 22 is adjusted, so as to prevent the adjustment rod 22 from moving forward and backward, thereby improving the fixing reliability of the locking assembly 2 and the rear arm 13, thereby improving the fixing reliability of the on-hook bracket and the terminal device 200. In the specific implementation process, the locking member 25 is located between the rear arm 13 and the adjustment knob 23. Of course, in other embodiments, the locking member 25 can also be located between the rear arm 13 and the abutment block 21.

[0049] In one embodiment, if Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, there are two locking assemblies 2, and the two locking assemblies 2 are arranged at intervals. By arranging two locking assemblies 2 side by side at intervals, the locking assemblies 2 and the forearm 12 form a herringbone layout, which improves the fixing reliability of the hanging bracket and the terminal device 200, thereby improving the stability of the camera device. Of course, in other embodiments, the number of locking assemblies 2 can also be three or four or even more.

[0050] In one embodiment, if Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, there are two rear arms 13, which are spaced apart, each rear arm 13 is provided with a locking assembly 2, and the two rear arms 13 can be connected to both sides of the rear end of the main top arm 11. By providing two rear arms 13 and respectively providing a locking assembly 2 on each rear arm 13, it is possible to ensure that there is a sufficient interval between the two locking assemblies 2, thereby improving the fixing reliability of the hook bracket and the terminal device 200.

[0051] In one embodiment, if Figure 3 As shown, the rear arm 13 includes a first sub-arm 131, a second sub-arm 132 and a transition arm 133, the two ends of the transition arm 133 are respectively connected to the first sub-arm 131 and the second sub-arm 132, the first sub-arm 131 and the second sub-arm 132 are parallel to the front arm 12, the end of the first sub-arm 131 away from the transition arm 133 is connected to the main top arm 11, the locking assembly 2 is installed on the second sub-arm 132, and the first sub-arm 131 is closer to the front arm 12 than the second sub-arm 132, that is, the first sub-arm 131 and the second sub-arm 132 have a distance difference in the front-to-back direction, so that the rear arm 13 can form an installation space to accommodate the abutment block 21, which can make the overall structure of the hook bracket more compact. Further, the distance between the first sub-arm 131 and the second sub-arm 132 is equal to the thickness of the abutment block 21.

[0052] In one embodiment, if Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, the forearm 12 is perpendicular to the main top arm 11, the first sub-arm 131 is perpendicular to the main top arm 11, the transition arm 133 is parallel to the main top arm 11, and both the first sub-arm 131 and the second sub-arm 132 are perpendicular to the transition arm 133. In other embodiments, the transition arm 133 may not be parallel to the main top arm 11.

[0053] In one embodiment, the two rear arms 13 are spaced apart to form a wiring space, which is located directly below the camera 100. The connecting line 101 of the camera 100 passes through the wiring space, thereby avoiding excessive bending of the connecting line 101, helping to improve the service life of the connecting line 101, and also facilitating the installation of the camera device on the terminal device 200. In one embodiment, when there is one rear arm 13, the one rear arm 13 can form a wiring space.

[0054] In one embodiment, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the bracket body 1 further includes a connecting arm 14. The connecting arm 14 connects the ends of the two rear arms 13 away from the main top arm 11. By means of the connecting arm 14, the reliability of the two rear arms 13 can be improved, enabling the hanging bracket to be more firmly installed on the terminal device 200 and enhancing the fixing reliability between the hanging bracket and the terminal device 200. Further, the connecting arm 14 is in a "C" shape, which can improve the structural stability of the connecting arm 14 on the one hand and make room for the connecting line 101 on the other hand, facilitating the connection of the connecting line 101 to the terminal device 200.

[0055] The mounting portion on the bracket body 1 can be provided on the main top arm 15, and the mounting portion can be a mounting hole, a buckle, etc. In one embodiment, as Figures 3 to 5 shown, the bracket body 1 further includes a secondary top arm 15. The secondary top arm 15 is connected to the end of the main top arm 11 away from the forearm 12 and is higher than the main top arm 11. The mounting portion is provided on the top surface 151 of the secondary top arm 15, and the camera 100 is mounted on the secondary top arm 15. Since the secondary top arm 15 is higher than the main top arm 11, the bottom of the camera 100 is higher than the main top arm 11, thereby reducing the risk of the field of view angle of the camera 100 being blocked by the main top arm 11.

[0056] In one embodiment, the bottom of the camera 100 is provided with a connecting line 101 or a connection interface, and the connecting line 101 is connected to the connection interface. As Figure 4 shown, the secondary top arm 15 is provided with a relief notch 152, and the relief notch 151 can be opposite to the area where the connecting line 101 is located. The relief notch 152 allows the connecting line 101 of the camera 100 to pass through. Among them, the relief notch 152 can be located directly above the wiring space. The mounting portion can be a mounting hole provided on the secondary top arm 15. Fasteners such as screws can pass through the mounting hole and the connection hole on the camera, and the camera 100 can be fixed to the hanging bracket.

[0057] In one embodiment, the support body 1 is an integrally formed structure, and the connection stability among the main top arm 11 , the front arm 12 , the rear arm 13 , the auxiliary top arm 15 and the connecting arm 14 is higher, thereby ensuring the overall reliability of the support body 1 .

[0058] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
