[0025] The embodiments of the present utility model are described in detail below. The embodiments described with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary. The embodiments of the present utility model are described in detail below.

[0026] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 4 A camera 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described, and the camera 1 is applied to a vehicle, for example, a heavy truck.

[0027] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, according to the utility model, the camera 1 includes: a camera body 2 and an adjustment component 3, the adjustment component 3 includes a first bracket 31 and a second bracket 32, the camera body 2 is arranged on the first bracket 31, the first bracket 31 is rotatably arranged on the second bracket 32, the second bracket 32 ​​is used to connect with the vehicle body, the first bracket 31 is provided with a first positioning portion 33, the second bracket 32 ​​is provided with a second positioning portion 34, the first positioning portion 33 and the second positioning portion 34 are positioned and matched within a predetermined angle of rotation of the first bracket 31 relative to the second bracket 32.

[0028] It can be understood that the camera body 2 and the adjustment component 3 constitute the main structure of the camera 1, and the camera body 2 is arranged on the adjustment component 3, so that the adjustment component 3 can adjust the photographic range of the camera body 2. The first bracket 31 and the second bracket 32 ​​constitute the main structure of the adjustment component 3. The first bracket 31 and the second bracket 32 ​​are used in combination to adjust the angle of the camera body 2. The camera body 2 is located on the first bracket 31, and the second bracket 32 ​​is connected to the frame, and the first bracket 31 can be rotated relative to the second bracket 32, so that the camera body 2 can be rotated relative to the frame, and then the angle of the camera body 2 can be adjusted according to the actual situation of the vehicle. The first positioning portion 33 is located on the first bracket 31, and the second positioning portion 34 is located on the second bracket 32, and the first positioning portion 33 and the second positioning portion 34 can be positioned and matched, so that the first bracket 31 can be rotated relative to the second bracket 32, and then the camera body 2 can adjust the photographic range relative to the frame. For example, the adjustment component 3 is installed on the front cover, the bumper, or the front cross beam of the vehicle between the front cover and the bumper, so that the camera 1 can meet the photographic range requirements of the vehicle at different heights. In addition, the camera 1 can be installed in the cab to detect the driver's driving behavior, and the angle of the camera 1 body can be adjusted according to the driver's height, thereby satisfying the photographic range adjustment of various scenarios.

[0029] Therefore, by setting the camera body 2 on the first bracket 31, and the first bracket 31 can be rotated relative to the second bracket 32, the camera body 2 can be rotated relative to the frame, and the first positioning portion 33 and the second positioning portion 34 can be positioned and matched at a predetermined angle, so that the camera body 2 can be rotated at a predetermined angle relative to the frame, thereby adapting to different vehicle models and improving versatility.

[0030] Among them, Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, one of the first positioning portion 33 and the second positioning portion 34 is a positioning column and the other is a plurality of sequentially connected limiting holes, and the positioning column is limitedly matched with any one of the plurality of limiting holes. In other words, the first positioning portion 33 is a limiting hole, and the second positioning portion 34 is a positioning column, and the positioning column can be inserted into the limiting hole. Such an arrangement can make the positioning column and the limiting hole limitedly matched, so that the first bracket 31 can be rotated in the up-down direction relative to the second bracket 32, and then the camera body 2 can be adjusted relative to the vehicle frame. The photographic range. For example, the first bracket 31 can be rotated 15° in the up-down direction relative to the second bracket 32, so that the photographic range of the camera body 2 can be adjusted.

[0031] In particular, if Figure 3As shown, the positioning column is a cylinder, and the side wall surface of each positioning hole is an arc surface. This arrangement makes it easy for the positioning column to pass through the positioning hole, and the side wall of the positioning hole can limit the positioning column, thereby facilitating the first bracket 31 to rotate relative to the second bracket 32, and further facilitating the adjustment of the range of the camera body 2 relative to the frame.
