Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cameras, in particular to a camera with an adjustment structure. Background Art

[0002] A surveillance camera is a semiconductor imaging device that has the advantages of high sensitivity, resistance to strong light, low distortion, small size, long life, and resistance to vibration. With the popularization of networking, the use of surveillance cameras is becoming more and more widespread.

[0003] Affected by the lens technology, surveillance cameras have certain blind spots in their surveillance field of view. In order to be able to perform surveillance shooting at the maximum angle, a camera with an adjustment structure is proposed. For example, the prior art Chinese Patent Publication No. "CN219775405U" provides a camera with a manual adjustment component, including a strong suction cup, a plug-shaped seat is fixedly installed on the surface of the strong suction cup, a flexible support rod is fixedly installed on the surface of the plug-shaped seat, a mounting block is fixedly installed at one end of the flexible support rod away from the plug-shaped seat, a motor is fixedly installed in the mounting block, a rotating mechanism is provided on the mounting block, a shell is provided on the mounting block, a camera assembly is rotatably installed in the shell, a baffle is fixedly installed on the top of the shell, and a square box is fixedly installed on one side of the shell.

[0004] Although some surveillance cameras can adjust the angle, they need to manually rotate the handle to adjust the angle of the camera. In specific operations, considering that there are certain blind spots in the monitoring range of the camera, similar cameras that do not have the function of automatically adjusting the angle will be limited by the field of view. If multiple cameras are installed to reduce the blind spots, the monitoring cost will increase. The method of manually climbing to a high place to readjust the angle not only has low adjustment efficiency but also creates new blind spots, and its practicality needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the above-mentioned shortcomings in the prior art and to propose a camera with an adjustment structure.

[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0022] Reference Figure 1-6 A camera with an adjustment structure comprises a mounting base 1, a protective shell 2 is rotatably connected to the top of the mounting base, a rotating base 3 is fixedly installed on the top of the protective shell 2, fixed plates 31 are fixedly installed on both sides of the top of the rotating base 3, a camera body 4 is rotatably connected in a pair of the fixed plates 31, an adjustment component 5 is arranged in the rotating base 3, the adjustment component 5 is used to adjust the angle of the camera body 4, a rotating component 6 is arranged in the mounting base 1, the rotating component 6 is used to drive the camera body 4 to rotate, and a rubber pad 21 is laid on the periphery of the protective shell 2, and the rubber pad 21 is used to facilitate holding the camera and is conducive to shock absorption and buffering.

[0023] Furthermore, the adjustment component 5 includes a motor 51, which is fixedly mounted at the bottom of the rotating seat 3. An iron rod 65 is slidably connected to the inside of the shaft end of the motor 51. One end of the iron rod 65 passes through the rotating seat 3. An upper rotating block 52 is rotatably connected to the top of the inner wall of the rotating seat 3. A first gear 53 is fixedly mounted on the periphery of the upper rotating block 52.

[0024] Furthermore, the top of a pair of the fixed plates 31 is rotatably connected to the camera body 4 through a turbine 54, and a worm 55 is rotatably connected inside the fixed plate 31. A second gear 56 is fixedly installed on one end of the worm 55. The worm 55 rotates in meshing engagement with the turbine 54, and the other end of the worm 55 rotates in meshing engagement with the first gear 53 through the second gear 56. When the motor 51 drives the first gear 53 to drive the second gear 56, the worm 55 can drive the turbine 54 to drive the camera body 4 to adjust longitudinally.

[0025] In more detail, an electromagnet 11 is fixedly installed on the inner bottom surface of the mounting base 1, and the rotating assembly 6 includes a lower rotating block 61, which is rotatably connected to the inner bottom surface of the mounting base 1 and sleeved on the periphery of the electromagnet 11. A gear ring 62 is fixedly installed on the inner bottom surface of the mounting base 1, and the top of the lower rotating block 61 is rotatably connected to a third gear 64 through a connecting rod 63. The third gear 64 meshes and rotates with the gear ring 62. The electromagnet 11 wire is connected to an external power supply. After the electromagnet 11 is energized, it is used to adsorb and move the iron rod 65, and the third gear 64 is driven by the motor 51 to mesh and rotate the gear ring 62, so as to achieve the effect of rotating the protective shell 2 and the rotating base 3, and then achieve the effect of adjusting the longitudinal angle of the camera body 4.

[0026] In general, a protrusion 511 is provided at the shaft end of the motor 51, a recess 651 is provided at one end of the iron rod 65, and a spring 66 is sleeved on the recess 651, and the two ends of the spring 66 are respectively fixedly connected to the end faces of the protrusion 511 and the recess 651. By utilizing the action of the spring 66, one end of the iron rod 65 is always inserted into the slot 68 of the upper rotating block 52. When the lateral angle of the camera body 4 needs to be adjusted, the iron rod 65 is moved by the electromagnet 11 to disengage it from the upper rotating block 52, thereby not affecting the longitudinal angle of the camera body 4.

[0027] Finally, blocks 67 are provided at both ends of the iron rod 65, and slots 68 are provided at one end of the upper rotating block 52 and the lower rotating block 61. The slots 68 can engage the blocks 67. Because the upper rotating block 52 and the lower rotating block 61 can rotate by themselves, the block 67 of the iron rod 65 is engaged through the slots 68, so that the two can drive the first gear 53 and the third gear 64 to rotate, thereby achieving the purpose of a motor driving the camera body 4 to adjust the lateral and longitudinal angles.

[0028] It should be noted that the structures inside the mounting seat 1 and the rotating seat 3 do not have an adsorption effect with the electromagnet 11 , and only the iron rod 65 has a magnetic adsorption effect with the electromagnet 11 .

[0029] Working method: When working, the top of the iron rod 65 is connected to the slot 68 of the upper rotating block 52 through the block 67, and the motor 51 drives the iron rod 65 to drive the first gear 53 to rotate, and the first gear 53 drives the worm 55 to drive the turbine 54 to adjust the longitudinal angle of the camera body 4. After that, the electromagnet 11 is energized to adsorb and move the iron rod 65, and the block 67 at its bottom is inserted into the slot 68 of the lower rotating block 61, and the motor 51 drives the third gear 64 to mesh and rotate in the gear ring 62, so that the protective shell 2 and the rotating seat 3 rotate to drive the camera body 4 to adjust the lateral angle. Finally, the electromagnet 11 is powered off, and the top of the iron rod 65 continues to be connected to the upper rotating block 52 under the action of the spring 66.

[0030] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention according to the technical scheme and the utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
