Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of camera design, in particular to a mounting bracket for a multi-eye and multi-directional camera. Background Art

[0002] A multi-eye multi-directional camera is a commonly used camera device and includes multiple cameras arranged along a circle to achieve multi-directional monitoring.

[0003] Existing multi-eye and multi-directional cameras are mainly fixedly installed through wall-mounted brackets or ceiling-mounted brackets. Among them, the wall-mounted bracket needs one side to be close to the wall for installation, which cannot meet some scenes that require ceiling installation.

[0004] In addition, the existing top-mounted bracket is generally provided with a pivot structure consisting of a pivot shaft and a pivot groove to achieve rotatable installation, that is, the top-mounted bracket is first fixed to the wall, and then the multi-eye and multi-directional camera is rotatably fixed to the top-mounted bracket through the pivot structure, and the multi-eye and multi-directional camera and the top-mounted bracket are opened at a certain angle to facilitate the connection of the wires of the multi-eye and multi-directional camera, and finally the multi-eye and multi-directional camera is rotated to be parallel to the top-mounted bracket and fastened together.

[0005] Since the pivot groove is not a closed annular groove, but a notch is opened on one side of it to facilitate the installation of the pivot shaft, there is a risk of unhooking between the pivot shaft and the pivot groove during the installation process, which may easily cause safety problems. In order to prevent unhooking, some devices are equipped with safety ropes to prevent accidental falling to the ground due to unhooking. However, under the action of the safety rope, the suspended equipment will swing back and forth, affecting the subsequent wiring operations. It does not meet the design requirements of small size and the safety cannot be effectively guaranteed. Utility Model Content

[0009] Furthermore, the mounting base has the pivot axis, the connecting member is slidably assembled on a side of the shell facing the mounting base, and the elastic reset member is provided between the shell and the connecting member.

[0010] Furthermore, the connecting member has a limiting guide groove running through its upper and lower surfaces, and a limiting pin is arranged between the connecting member and the shell. The limiting pin can be movably passed through the limiting guide groove and fixed on the shell to form a slidable setting for the connecting member.

[0011] Furthermore, the elastic return member is a tension spring.

[0012] Furthermore, the connecting member has a push block which protrudes outward and is easy to push.

[0013] Furthermore, one end of the connecting member has a hook portion that bends and extends to one side, and the hook portion is provided with a through slot that opens outward, and the through slot is the pivot slot.

[0014] Furthermore, the outer wall of the shell is provided with a recess for making way for the hook; the wall of the recess elastically abuts against the installation notch.

[0015] Furthermore, a pre-fixing mechanism is provided between the shell and the mounting base, and the shell is detachably pre-fixed to the mounting base through the pre-fixing mechanism.

[0026] To further illustrate the various embodiments, the present invention provides drawings. These drawings are part of the disclosure of the present invention, which are mainly used to illustrate the embodiments and can be used in conjunction with the relevant descriptions in the specification to explain the operating principles of the embodiments. With reference to these contents, a person of ordinary skill in the art should be able to understand other possible implementations and advantages of the present invention. The components in the figures are not drawn to scale, and similar component symbols are generally used to represent similar components.

[0027] The utility model is now further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0028] Reference Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this embodiment provides a mounting bracket for a multi-eye and multi-directional camera (hereinafter referred to as the mounting bracket), the mounting bracket includes a mounting base 1 and a shell 2 detachably connected to the mounting base 1, the mounting base 1 is used to be fixed on a fixed surface, such as first fixing the mounting base 1 on a wall, the shell 2 is used to assemble a multi-eye and multi-directional camera assembly, a pre-fixing mechanism is provided between the shell 2 and the mounting base 1, and after the wiring action is completed, the shell 2 is detachably pre-fixed to the mounting base 1 through the pre-fixing mechanism to facilitate the next step of fastening operation.

[0029] The mounting bracket also includes a connecting member 3 and an elastic reset member 4, such as Figure 4 The mounting base 1 shown is provided with a pivot shaft 11, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 One end of the connecting member 3 shown has a pivot groove 31 that matches the pivot shaft 11, and one side of the pivot groove 31 has a mounting notch 311, so that the pivot shaft 11 can be detachably inserted into the pivot groove 31 and form a rotational connection with each other, so as to cooperate with the housing 2 to be able to rotate to a certain opening angle before being detachably pre-fixed on the mounting base 1, so as to facilitate the next wiring action.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, the connecting member 3 can be slidably assembled on the side of the shell 2 facing the mounting base 1, and an elastic reset member 4 is arranged between the shell 2 and the connecting member 3. The elastic reset member 4 applies a rebound force to the connecting member 3 to drive the mounting notch 311 of the connecting member 3 to elastically abut the outer wall of the shell 2, thereby forming an anti-unhooking arrangement between the shell 2 and the mounting base 1.

[0031] In this embodiment, Figure 3 The connecting member 3 shown has two limiting guide grooves 33 running through its upper and lower surfaces, and the two limiting guide grooves 33 are arranged in parallel. Two limiting pins 34 are arranged between the connecting member 3 and the shell 2. The limiting pins 34 can be movably passed through the corresponding limiting guide grooves 33 and fixed on the shell 2 to form a slidable arrangement. Under the joint restriction of the rebound force of the elastic reset member 4, the limiting pins 34 and the limiting guide grooves 33, the connecting member 3 is elastically extended and retracted only along the extension direction of the limiting guide grooves 33. The shell 2, the connecting member 3, the elastic reset member 4 and the limiting pins 34 are connected to form a multi-eye multi-directional camera body, and through the pivot structure formed by the pivot shaft 11 and the pivot groove 31, the multi-eye multi-directional camera body can be rotated within a certain angle range around the pivot shaft 11 of the mounting base 1.

[0032] One end of the connecting member 3 has a hook portion 32 that bends and extends to one side, and the hook portion 32 is provided with a through groove that opens outward, which is the pivot groove 31, and the outer wall of the shell 2 is provided with a clearance groove 21 for the clearance hook portion 32. The wall of the clearance groove 21 elastically abuts against the installation notch 311 to ensure that in the absence of external force, the installation notch 311 of the connecting member 3 always elastically abuts against the outer wall of the shell 2 to ensure that the installation notch 311 of the connecting member 3 is blocked, thereby preventing accidental unhooking between the pivot shaft 11 on the mounting base 1 and the pivot groove 31 of the connecting member 3.

[0033] The connecting member 3 is slidably arranged on the shell 2 and the elastic reset member 4 applies a rebound force to the connecting member 3, so that the connecting member 3 can be elastically extended and retracted under the limitation of the rebound force, and the installation notch 311 of the connecting member 3 is driven to elastically abut the outer wall of the shell 2 to prevent accidental uncoupling between the pivot shaft 11 on the mounting base 1 and the pivot groove 31 of the connecting member 3, that is, to prevent uncoupling between the shell 2 and the mounting base 1, thereby ensuring the safety of the multi-eye and multi-directional camera during installation. At the same time, this embodiment no longer requires a safety rope to meet the design requirements of a small volume.

[0034] Of course, in other embodiments, the housing 2 may also be provided with a pivot shaft 11 , and the connecting member 3 may be slidably disposed on the mounting base 1 , so that the connecting member 3 may also be elastically retractable.

[0035] In another preferred embodiment, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the pre-fixing mechanism includes matching clips 5 and clip grooves. The side of the mounting base 1 facing the shell 2 is fixed with the clip 5 by an integrated connection method such as screws. The side of the shell 2 facing the mounting base 1 is provided with a clip groove. The clip 5 can be detachably clipped into the clip groove to realize the pre-fixed installation between the shell 2 and the mounting base 1.

[0036] In this specific embodiment, the shell 2 includes a first shell, a second shell and an intermediate shell connected between the first shell and the second shell. The multi-eye multi-directional camera assembly is assembled on the side of the second shell away from the mounting base 1 to form a second shell assembly.

[0037] After the limiting pin 34 passes through the limiting guide groove 33, it is fixed on the second housing by screw connection. In addition, the displacement groove 21 and the clamping groove are also respectively located on the outer wall of the second housing.

[0038] The specific elastic reset member 4 is a tension spring. When the mounting base 1 has been fixed to the wall and the second shell assembly needs to be assembled together with the connecting member 3 on the pivot shaft 11 of the mounting base 1, the installer first uses force to overcome the resilience of the tension spring and push the connecting member 3 outward to force the mounting notch 311 of the connecting member 3 away from the outer wall of the second shell, thereby ensuring that the mounting notch 311 is completely exposed or no longer blocked, and then assembles the pivot groove 31 of the connecting member 3 and the pivot shaft 11 of the mounting base 1 through the mounting notch 311 to form a pivot connection. Finally, the installer removes the external force, and the connecting member 3 elastically retracts under the resilience of the tension spring, so that the mounting notch 311 of the connecting member 3 elastically abuts against the outer wall of the second shell again, thereby ensuring that Figure 6 The installation notch 311 of the connecting member 3 is shown to be blocked.

[0039] When the second shell component and the mounting base 1 are pivotally connected and the next step of wiring is required, the second shell component is first rotated around the pivot axis 11 of the mounting base 1 to a certain opening angle, and then the installer can perform the wiring operation. During the rotation and wiring process of the second shell component, the tension spring is always in a naturally tightened state without external force, so as to ensure that the pivot axis 11 on the mounting base 1 and the pivot groove 31 of the connecting member 3 will not be unhooked, and it can also prevent unhooking due to misoperation during the installation of the second shell component; of course, the ultimate resilience of the selected tension spring is greater than the gravity of the multi-eye multi-directional camera body, so as to ensure that the tension spring is always within the safe range of elastic expansion and contraction. If the second shell component is accidentally touched or rotated, causing the second shell component to apply a certain upward force, the tension spring can also be returned to its initial state under the action of the resilience of the tension spring to prevent unhooking.

[0040] After the wiring is completed, the second housing assembly is rotated to be parallel to the mounting base 1, and then the second housing assembly is detachably pre-fixed to the mounting base 1 through the pre-fixing mechanism, so as to free the hands of the installer, that is, there is no need to drag the second housing assembly with both hands to perform the next step of fastening operation, and then the second housing assembly is fastened to the mounting base 1 by screws, and finally the intermediate housing and the first housing are assembled on the second housing assembly in sequence to complete the installation. Figure 5 and Figure 6 The entire multi-eye multi-directional camera body shown is fastened to the mounting base 1 .

[0041] Of course, in other embodiments, a snap-in groove may also be provided on the side of the mounting base 1 facing the shell 2 , and a buckle 5 may be fixed on the side of the shell 2 facing the mounting base 1 , which will not be described in detail here.

[0042] Furthermore, the elastic reset member 4 may also be an elastic member such as a rubber band.

[0043] Further preferably, Figure 3 As shown, the connecting member 3 has a push block 35 that protrudes outward and is easy to push, so that the installer can push the push block 35 by hand to force the connecting member 3 to slide outward.

[0044] In another preferred embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, a wiring hole for internal wiring is provided on one side of the housing 2 facing the mounting base 1, and the wiring hole is provided with a detachable hole plug 6 to facilitate the installer to lead out the wires in the housing 2 and complete the wiring operation.

[0045] Although the present invention has been specifically demonstrated and described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes may be made to the present invention in form and detail without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined in the appended claims, all of which are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
