Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of camera devices, and in particular to a camera device for video conferencing. Background Art

[0002] With the advancement of image processing technology and network transmission technology, two-way video conferencing or multi-party talks through network video have been widely accepted by the public. Existing audio and video communication devices for remote video conferencing still have certain defects when in use. For example, they cannot perform fill-in lighting according to the intensity of ambient light. Usually, during meetings, in order to achieve a better display effect, the ambient light will be dim, resulting in poor appearance of users during video conferencing. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to provide sufficient light in a low-light environment, thereby improving the appearance of participants in a video conference, the present application provides a camera device for video conferencing.

[0004] The above invention objectives of the present application are achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0005] A video camera device for video conferencing includes a base and a camera lens, wherein the camera lens is fixedly connected to a camera frame on the outside, a rotating assembly is provided inside the base, the camera frame is fixedly connected to the rotating assembly, the rotating assembly is used to adjust the direction of the camera frame, and an annular fill light is fixedly provided on the periphery of the camera lens.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, a rotating assembly is provided inside the base, the camera frame is fixedly connected to the rotating assembly, the camera lens is fixed inside the camera frame, and a ring-shaped fill light is fixedly provided on the periphery of the camera lens. The rotating assembly can adjust the shooting angle and direction of the camera lens, and the fill light can provide sufficient light for the camera in an environment with insufficient light, thereby improving the appearance effect of participants in video conferences.

[0007] Optionally, light sensors are fixedly provided on both sides of the camera frame, and the light sensors are electrically connected to the fill light.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the photosensor can automatically adjust the brightness of the fill light according to the brightness of the ambient light. When the ambient light is bright enough, the fill light can automatically reduce the brightness or turn off, thereby reducing energy consumption and achieving energy saving and power saving effects.

[0009] Optionally, the rotating assembly includes a connecting cylinder and a horizontal rotating cylinder, the connecting cylinder is vertically fixed inside the base, and the horizontal rotating cylinder is vertically fixed to the bottom of the camera stand; a limiting groove is provided on the inner wall of the horizontal rotating cylinder, a limiting ring is fixedly provided on the outer wall of the connecting cylinder, the horizontal rotating cylinder is sleeved on the outer wall of the connecting cylinder, the limiting ring is adapted to fit in the limiting groove, and the limiting ring and the limiting groove are rotationally connected through an interference fit.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the horizontal rotating cylinder is sleeved on the outer wall of the connecting cylinder, the limit ring and the limit groove are rotatably connected by interference fit, and the horizontal rotating cylinder is fixedly connected to the bottom of the camera frame. Therefore, after the horizontal rotating cylinder is rotated to a certain position by manpower, the friction force at the connection between the limit ring and the limit groove makes the camera frame hover at the desired angle, so as to achieve the purpose of changing the shooting angle and direction of the camera.

[0011] Optionally, the outer wall of the horizontal rotating drum is recessed with a plurality of anti-skid grooves in parallel.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, when the operator manually rotates the direction of the horizontal rotating drum, the anti-skid groove increases the friction between the fingers and the horizontal rotating drum, thereby improving the efficiency of the operation.

[0013] Optionally, a plurality of suction cups are provided on the bottom surface of the base.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the base adopts a suction cup to increase the stability of the base. When the horizontal drum is rotated, the base remains in place and does not rotate therewith, thereby improving the efficiency of the operation. The setting of the suction cup facilitates the installation and removal of the base.

[0015] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0016] 1. A rotating assembly is provided inside the base, the camera frame is fixedly connected to the rotating assembly, the camera lens is fixed inside the camera frame, and a ring-shaped fill light is fixedly provided on the periphery of the camera lens. The rotating assembly can adjust the shooting angle and direction of the camera lens. The fill light can provide sufficient light for the camera in an environment with insufficient light, thereby improving the appearance effect of the participants in the video conference. The light sensor can automatically adjust the brightness of the fill light according to the brightness of the ambient light. When the ambient light is bright enough, the fill light can automatically reduce the brightness or turn off, thereby reducing energy consumption and achieving energy saving and power saving effects;

[0017] 2. The horizontal rotating cylinder is sleeved on the outer wall of the connecting cylinder, the limit ring and the limit groove are rotationally connected through interference fit, and the horizontal rotating cylinder is fixedly connected to the bottom of the camera frame. Therefore, after the horizontal rotating cylinder is rotated to a certain position by manpower, the friction force at the connection between the limit ring and the limit groove makes the camera frame hover at the desired angle, so as to achieve the purpose of changing the shooting angle and direction of the camera.
