Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of brackets, and in particular to a bracket component and a wall-mounted camera assembly. Background Art

[0002] Currently, camera brackets in related technologies generally adopt hemispherical or spherical rotation mechanisms to achieve flexible adjustment of the camera at multiple angles.

[0003] However, this design relies mainly on spherical friction to maintain position, resulting in insufficient fixing force. As a result, the camera is prone to tilting when subjected to accidental collisions or external forces.

[0004] In addition, some non-spherical brackets have limited adjustment capabilities, allowing only horizontal and vertical adjustments, which cannot meet the user's needs for all-round adjustment. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present application is to provide a bracket assembly and a wall-mounted camera assembly, which can improve the support stability of the camera while achieving flexible adjustment of the camera at multiple angles.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present application provides a bracket assembly on the one hand, a bracket assembly, the bracket assembly comprising at least a mounting member, a first adapter, a second adapter and a support member, wherein the mounting member is configured to be connected to a fixed surface to fix the bracket assembly; the first adapter is connected to the mounting member along a first axis through a first fastener, a portion of the first adapter perpendicular to the first axis is provided with a first through hole, the first through hole extends along a preset arc segment on a plane perpendicular to the first axis, the center of the preset arc segment is located on the first axis, and the first adapter is connected to the mounting member through the first through hole through at least one second fastener; the second adapter is connected to the first adapter along the second axis through a third fastener, the second adapter is connected to the support member along the third axis through a fourth fastener, and the first axis, the second axis and the third axis are perpendicular to each other.

[0007] The technical solution provided by the present application is that the first adapter is connected to the mounting member along the first axis by a first fastener, the second adapter is connected to the first adapter along the second axis by a third fastener, the second adapter is connected to the support member along the third axis by a fourth fastener, and the first axis, the second axis and the third axis are perpendicular to each other. In this way, the equipment installed on the support member can be rotated and adjusted around the first axis, the second axis and the third axis, thereby achieving flexible adjustment at multiple angles.

[0008] Furthermore, it is worth mentioning that the plane where the support member is located is parallel to the direction of the first axis. When the device is installed and supported on the support member, the torque generated by the device on the support member directly acts on the joint surface between the first adapter and the mounting member. When the friction force of the joint surface between the first adapter and the mounting member is less than the torque generated by the device on the support member, the support member and the device thereon will rotate and tilt to the left or right on the YZ plane. The present application locks and connects the first adapter and the mounting member through the first fastener and at least one second fastener, that is, through at least double locking, to increase the fixing force between the first adapter and the mounting member, avoid relative rotation between the first adapter and the mounting member after locking, and ensure connection stability.

[0009] Optionally, a middle portion of the mounting member on a side away from the first adapter is provided with an avoidance groove recessed toward the first adapter; a first threaded hole and at least one second threaded hole are provided at the bottom of the avoidance groove, wherein the first fastener passes through the first adapter and is threadedly connected to the first threaded hole, and the second fastener passes through the first through hole and is threadedly connected to the second threaded hole.

[0010] Through the above solution, the existence of the avoidance groove provides necessary avoidance space for the first fastener and the second fastener to be threadedly connected with the mounting member, so as to facilitate the installation operation.

[0011] Optionally, the middle portion of the mounting member is bent to form the avoidance groove; the first threaded hole and the second threaded hole are formed by flanging, and the flanging of the first threaded hole and the second threaded hole is located in the avoidance groove.

[0012] Through the above scheme, the middle part of the mounting piece is concave through bending deformation, and the first threaded hole and the second threaded hole are formed by flanging and drawing, which can simplify the production process, facilitate production operations, improve production efficiency, and reduce production costs.

[0013] Optionally, the first adapter includes a first plate segment and a second plate segment; the first plate segment is perpendicular to the first axis, the first through hole is opened on the first plate segment, and a second through hole is also opened on the first plate segment, the center of the second through hole coincides with the center of the preset arc segment, and the first fastener passes through the second through hole and is threadedly connected to the first threaded hole; the second plate segment is connected to the first plate segment and extends in a direction parallel to the first axis in a direction away from the mounting member, and the first adapter is connected to the second adapter through the second plate segment.

[0014] Optionally, a third threaded hole is provided on the second plate segment or the second adapter, so that the third fastener connects the second plate segment and the second adapter by connecting with the third threaded hole along the second axis.

[0015] Optionally, there are two second plate segments, and the two second plate segments are located at both ends of the first plate segment along the second axis; the first plate segment and the two second plate segments are integrally formed by bending; the third threaded hole is formed on each second plate segment, and the third threaded hole is formed by flanging, and the flanging of the third threaded hole is located in the area enclosed by the first plate segment and the two second plate segments.

[0016] With the above solution, the flange of the third threaded hole is located on the inner surface of the first adapter, which is an uncommon or inconspicuous position in daily use, thereby ensuring the aesthetics of the outer surface of the bracket assembly.

[0017] Optionally, the second adapter includes a third plate segment and two fourth plate segments; the third plate segment is perpendicular to the third axis, the two fourth plate segments are connected to the third plate segment and are located at opposite ends of the third plate segment along the second axis; the two fourth plate segments are located on the outsides of the two second plate segments, and the two fourth plate segments are respectively provided with third through holes, and there are two third fasteners, each of which passes through the corresponding third through hole and is threadedly connected to the corresponding third threaded hole.

[0018] Through the above solution, when the two third fasteners are loosened respectively, the second adapter can be rotated and adjusted around the second axis. At the same time, the first adapter and the second adapter are locked and connected by two third fasteners, that is, the fixing force between the first adapter and the second adapter is improved by double locking, so as to avoid relative rotation between the first adapter and the second adapter after locking, thereby ensuring the connection stability. In addition, the head of the third fastener is located on the outside of the fourth plate segment, with a large operating space, which is convenient for users to adjust.

[0020] Through the above solution, when the fourth fastener is loosened, the support member can be rotated and adjusted around the third axis. At the same time, the flange of the fourth threaded hole is located in the area surrounded by the third plate segment and the two fourth plate segments, thereby shielding the flange of the fourth threaded hole, reducing the leakage of the flange of the fourth threaded hole, and improving the aesthetics.

After adjustment, it can be tightened again to achieve better locking force and anti-loosening. At the same time, when the screw is tightened, the spring washer first contacts the screw head, and then the flat washer contacts the surface of the connected part, so that the pre-tightening force can be more evenly distributed.

[0023] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present application also provides a wall-mounted camera assembly on the other hand, which includes at least a camera device and the above-mentioned bracket assembly; the bracket assembly is used to be fixed to the wall through the mounting member and connected to the camera device through the supporting member.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0036] To make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the embodiments of the present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Terms such as "upper", "above", "lower", "below", "first end", "second end", "one end", "the other end" used in the present application to represent spatial relative positions are used to describe the relationship between a unit or feature as shown in the accompanying drawings relative to another unit or feature for the purpose of convenience of explanation. Terms of spatial relative position may be intended to include different orientations of the device in use or work other than the orientation shown in the figure. For example, if the device in the figure is turned over, the unit described as being "below" or "below" other units or features will be located "above" other units or features. Therefore, the exemplary term "below" can encompass both the above and below orientations. The device can be oriented in other ways (rotated 90 degrees or other orientations), and the spatially related descriptors used herein are interpreted accordingly.

[0037] In addition, the terms "installed", "set", "provided with", "connected", "slidingly connected", "fixed", and "sleeved" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, "connection" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral structure; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be an internal connection between two devices, elements, or components. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0038] Most existing cameras are installed on walls or surfaces (hereinafter collectively referred to as "fixed surfaces") through bracket assemblies. During installation, the orientation of the camera is precisely adjusted to the desired angle by adjusting the bracket assembly to ensure that the camera covers a specific area, and once positioned, it rarely needs to be adjusted again. In other words, in the use scenario of the camera, the support stability of the bracket assembly is particularly important for the camera to ensure that the camera will not move accidentally after the installation is locked in position, thereby avoiding frequent adjustments to the camera angle. Secondly, although the camera is not adjusted frequently, the design should ensure that the adjustment process is simple so that maintenance or repositioning can be performed when necessary.

[0039] The camera bracket assembly in the related art generally adopts a hemispherical or spherical rotation mechanism to achieve flexible adjustment of the camera at multiple angles. However, this design mainly relies on spherical friction to maintain the position, resulting in insufficient fixing force. Therefore, when subjected to accidental collision or external force, the camera is prone to tilt. In addition, some non-spherical brackets have limited adjustment capabilities and only allow horizontal and vertical adjustments, which cannot meet the user's needs for all-round adjustment.

[0040] In summary, most of the related camera bracket assemblies can only take into account one of the aspects of flexible adjustment at multiple angles and stable support, which leads to defects in one aspect and then produces corresponding problems. To this end, the present application redesigns the camera bracket assembly so that it can achieve flexible adjustment of the camera at multiple angles while improving the support stability of the camera.

[0041] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described in this application are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0042] The present application provides a bracket assembly 1000, which is mainly used to stably support a device on a fixed surface and can be flexibly adjusted at multiple angles. The fixed surface can be a wall or other surface of an object. The device can include but is not limited to a camera device, a recording device, a projection device, and a display device.

[0043] Specifically, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in an achievable embodiment, the bracket assembly 1000 may at least include a mounting member 100, a first adapter 200, a second adapter 300 and a support member 400. The mounting member 100 is configured to be connected to a fixed surface so that the bracket assembly 1000 is fixed to the fixed surface through the mounting member 100. The first axis is perpendicular to the plane where the mounting member 100 is located, and the first adapter 200 is connected to the mounting member 100 along the first axis through the first fastener 500. In this way, when the first adapter 200 is connected to the mounting member 100 through the first fastener 500, the first fastener 500 can be tightened or loosened multiple times by tools (such as a screwdriver or a wrench, etc.) by utilizing the characteristic of the fastener being repeatedly disassembled and assembled. When the first fastener 500 is loosened, the first adapter 200 can be rotated and adjusted relative to the mounting member 100 around the first fastener 500.

[0044] It should be noted that the definition of "loosening" in this application refers to releasing the compression state of the two connected parts by screwing the fastener, but the fastener remains in the two connected parts, and at least one of the two connected parts can rotate relative to the fastener, and it does not mean separating the fastener from the corresponding two connected parts. Correspondingly, the definition of "tightening" in this application refers to the compression connection of the two connected parts by screwing the fastener.

[0045] Further, a first through hole 210 is provided on a portion of the first adapter 200 perpendicular to the first axis, and the first through hole 210 extends along a preset arc segment 211 on a plane perpendicular to the first axis. That is, the axis of the first through hole 210 is parallel to the first axis, and the first through hole 210 is an arc-shaped through hole structure. The center of the preset arc segment 211 is located on the first axis, and the first adapter 200 is connected to the mounting member 100 through the first through hole 210 via at least one second fastener 600. In this way, when adjusting the rotation angle of the first adapter 200 relative to the mounting member 100 around the first axis, the first fastener 500 and the second fastener 600 can be loosened, so that the first adapter 200 can rotate around the first fastener 500, and the rotation range is limited between the limiting positions of the second fastener 600 on both ends of the first through hole 210, thereby avoiding uncontrolled rotation of the first adapter 200, and facilitating user adjustment operations.

[0046] In this embodiment, the second adapter 300 is connected to the first adapter 200 along the second axis through the third fastener 700, and the second adapter 300 is connected to the support member 400 along the third axis through the fourth fastener 800. The support member 400 is used to install the fixing device, and the first axis, the second axis and the third axis are perpendicular to each other (with a rotation axis of 1 / 400). Figure 1 The mutually perpendicular X, Y, and Z axis coordinate systems are used as references, the first axis can be parallel to the X axis, and correspondingly, the second axis is parallel to the Y axis, and the third axis is parallel to the Z axis). In this way, the device mounted on the support 400 can be rotated and adjusted around the first axis, the second axis, and the third axis, thereby achieving flexible adjustment at multiple angles.

[0047] Furthermore, it is worth mentioning that the plane where the support member 400 is located is parallel to the direction of the first axis. When the device is installed and supported on the support member 400, the torque generated by the device on the support member 400 (such as Figure 1 The force of the support member 400 rotating to the left or right on the YZ plane directly acts on the joint surface of the first adapter 200 and the mounting member 100. When the friction force of the joint surface of the first adapter 200 and the mounting member 100 is less than the torque generated by the device on the support member 400, the support member 400 and the device thereon will rotate and tilt to the left or right. Therefore, in the present application, the first adapter 200 and the mounting member 100 are locked and connected by the first fastener 500 and at least one second fastener 600, that is, by at least double locking, the fixing force between the first adapter 200 and the mounting member 100 is increased to prevent the first adapter 200 and the mounting member 100 from rotating relative to each other after being locked, thereby ensuring the connection stability.

[0048] like Figure 2 As shown, in an achievable implementation, a middle portion of the mounting member 100 on one side away from the first adapter 200 is provided with an avoidance groove 110 that is recessed toward the first adapter 200. The bottom of the avoidance groove 110 may be provided with a first threaded hole 120 and at least one second threaded hole 130, wherein the first fastener 500 passes through the first adapter 200 and is threadedly connected to the first threaded hole 120, and the second fastener 600 passes through the first through hole 210 and is threadedly connected to the second threaded hole 130.

[0049] The number of the second threaded holes 130 may be the same as the number of the second fasteners 600, or more than the number of the second fasteners 600. Taking the case where the number of the second threaded holes 130 is the same as the number of the second fasteners 600 as an example, the number of the second threaded holes 130 and the second fasteners 600 are both two, and the two second fasteners 600 are threadedly connected to the two second threaded holes 130. It should be noted that the centers of the two second threaded holes 130 are located on the projection of the preset arc segment 211 on the mounting member 100 along the first axis, and when the two second fasteners 600 are connected to the corresponding second threaded holes 130 through the first through hole 210, there is a gap between at least one second fastener 600 and one end of the adjacent first through hole 210 along the preset arc segment 211, thereby reserving an adjustment gap to facilitate the rotation adjustment of the first adapter 200 along the first axis.

[0050] The first threaded hole 120 and the second threaded hole 130 may be formed directly by tapping the mounting member 100 . In this case, the depth of the first threaded hole 120 and the second threaded hole 130 may be consistent with the thickness of the mounting member 100 .

[0051] In order to improve the thread locking force, in a feasible embodiment, the first threaded hole 120 and the second threaded hole 130 can be formed by flanging, and at the same time, the inner wall thread section of the flanging can also extend the thread length of the corresponding threaded hole, thereby improving the thread locking force of the fastener connected thereto and further improving the locking stability.

[0052] In another optional embodiment, the first threaded hole 120 and the second threaded hole 130 can be tapped at the bottom of the avoidance groove 110 to form threaded holes, and then connected with a nut or a kit with an internal thread that is connected to the threaded hole, etc., so as to increase the thread length of the corresponding threaded hole by using the additional nut or the kit with an internal thread, thereby improving the thread locking force.

[0053] In yet another optional embodiment, the first threaded hole 120 and the second threaded hole 130 may be directly formed by means of rivet nuts.

[0054] In a feasible implementation, the mounting member 100 can be a sheet metal member, and the middle portion of the mounting member 100 is bent and deformed to be concave to form the avoidance groove 110, thereby simplifying the production process and improving production efficiency. Of course, the mounting member 100 can also be composed of other forms of components, and accordingly, the avoidance groove 110 can also be formed by milling or one-piece molding.

[0055] In a feasible implementation, a reserved hole 140 may be further provided on the mounting member 100 , and the mounting member 100 is connected to the fixing surface by fasteners passing through the reserved hole 140 , thereby fixing the mounting member 100 on the fixing surface.

[0056] In this embodiment, in order to ensure the connection stability of the mounting member 100, a plurality of reserved holes 140 may be used. Taking four reserved holes 140 as an example, the four reserved holes 140 are respectively located at the four corners of the mounting member 100, so as to fix the four corners of the mounting member 100. In actual application, the user can drill holes on the fixing surface, knock the expansion plug into the hole on the fixing surface, and make the expansion plug flush with the surface of the fixing surface, and then pass the fastener through the reserved hole 140 and lock it in the expansion plug, and then connect it to the fixing surface.

[0057] It should be noted that when the mounting member 100 is formed by bending a sheet metal, the depth of the avoidance groove 110 should not be too large, and the depth of the avoidance groove 110 should be equal to or slightly greater than the height of the flange or nut. In this way, the torque generated by the components connected to the middle part of the mounting member 100 on the reserved hole 140 can be reduced, thereby improving the overall

[0058] Support strength and stability.

[0059] like Figure 3 As shown, in an achievable implementation, the first adapter 200 may include a first plate segment 220 and a second plate segment 230. The first plate segment 220 is perpendicular to the first axis, the first through hole 210 is provided on the first plate segment 220, and the first plate segment 220 is further provided with a second through hole 221, the center of the second through hole 221 coincides with the center of the preset arc segment 211, and the first fastener 500 passes through the second through hole 221 and is threadedly connected to the first threaded hole 120.

[0060] The second plate segment 230 is connected to the first plate segment 220 and extends in a direction parallel to the first axis in a direction away from the mounting member 100 . The first adapter 200 is connected to the second adapter 300 via the second plate segment 230 .

[0061] In a feasible implementation, the second plate segment 230 may be provided with a third threaded hole 231 , and the third fastener 700 passes through the second adapter 300 along the second axis and is threadedly connected to the third threaded hole 231 to connect the second plate segment 230 to the second adapter 300 .

[0062] In another optional embodiment, the third threaded hole 231 may also be opened on the second adapter 300 , and the third fastener 700 passes through the second plate segment 230 along the second axis and is threadedly connected to the third threaded hole 231 to connect the second plate segment 230 to the second adapter 300 .

[0063] The second plate segment 230 may be one or two. Figure 3As shown, when there are two second plate segments 230, the first adapter 200 forms a U-shaped structure, and the first adapter 200 can be connected to the second adapter 300 through the two second plate segments 230. In this way, the two second plate segments 230 can share the force, avoiding the single second plate segment 230 from being damaged due to excessive force.

[0064] In practical applications, the first plate segment 220 and the two second plate segments 230 can be integrally formed by bending, so as to simplify the production process, reduce production costs, and improve production efficiency.

[0065] The following description is made by taking the example that there are two second plate segments 230 and the third threaded holes 231 are opened on the second plate segment 230 .

[0066] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in an achievable embodiment, there are two third threaded holes 231, and the two third threaded holes 231 are formed on the two second plate segments 230. The third threaded holes 231 are formed by flanging, and the flanging of the third threaded holes 231 is located in the area surrounded by the first plate segment 220 and the two second plate segments 230. In this way, the flanging of the third threaded holes 231 is located on the inner surface of the first adapter 200, that is, it is an uncommon or inconspicuous position in daily use, thereby ensuring the aesthetics of the outer surface of the bracket assembly 1000.

[0067] Correspondingly, the second adapter 300 is also constructed as a U-shaped structure, and the second adapter 300 may include a third plate segment 310 and two fourth plate segments 320. The third plate segment 310 is perpendicular to the third axis, the two fourth plate segments 320 are connected to the third plate segment 310, and the two fourth plate segments 320 are located at opposite ends of the third plate segment 310 along the second axis. The two fourth plate segments 320 are located on the outside of the two second plate segments 230, and the two fourth plate segments 320 are respectively provided with third through holes 321. There are also two third fasteners 700, and each third fastener 700 passes through the corresponding third through hole 321 and is threadedly connected to the corresponding third threaded hole 231. In this way, when the two third fasteners 700 are loosened respectively, the second adapter 300 can be rotated and adjusted around the second axis (i.e., along the second axis). Figure 1 At the same time, the first adapter 200 and the second adapter 300 are locked and connected by two third fasteners 700, that is, the double locking method is used to improve the fixing strength between the first adapter 200 and the second adapter 300, to prevent the first adapter 200 and the second adapter 300 from rotating relative to each other after being locked, and to ensure the connection stability. In addition, the adjustment end (head) of the third fastener 700 is located outside the fourth plate section 320, with a large operating space, which is convenient for users to adjust.

[0068] Regarding the connection method between the second adapter 300 and the support member 400, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, in an achievable embodiment, the second adapter 300 is connected to the support member 400 through the third plate segment 310. Specifically, a fourth threaded hole 311 is formed on the third plate segment 310. The support member 400 is perpendicular to the third axis, and a fourth through hole 410 is provided on the support member 400. The fourth fastener 800 passes through the fourth through hole 410 and is threadedly connected to the fourth threaded hole 311, thereby connecting the third plate segment 310 of the second adapter 300 to the support member 400. In this way, when the fourth fastener 800 is loosened, the support member 400 can be rotated and adjusted around the third axis (i.e., along the third axis). Figure 1 shown flipped left-right on the XY plane).

[0069] In actual applications, the third plate segment 310 and the two fourth plate segments 320 can be integrally formed by bending, the fourth threaded hole 311 is formed by flanging, and the flanging of the fourth threaded hole 311 is located in the area enclosed by the third plate segment 310 and the two fourth plate segments 320, thereby covering the flanging of the fourth threaded hole 311, reducing the leakage of the flanging of the fourth threaded hole 311, and improving the aesthetics.

[0070] like Figure 6 As shown, in an achievable implementation, at least one of the first fastener 500, the second fastener 600, the third fastener 700 and the fourth fastener 800 is a multifunctional fastener. The multifunctional fastener includes at least a screw 510 and a spring washer 520, and the spring washer 520 is sleeved on the screw 510 and is locked together with the screw 510. In this way, when the screw 510 is loosened, due to the elastic force of the spring washer 520, there can be a certain holding force, or damping, between the two connected parts to facilitate angle adjustment, and after adjustment, it can be tightened again to achieve better locking force and anti-loosening.

[0071] In another optional embodiment, the multifunctional fastener may be a three-in-one fastener, that is, an additional layer of spring washer 520 is added on the basis of the above-mentioned screw 510 and spring washer 520, and the flat washer 530 is sleeved on the screw 510, so as to cooperate with the screw 510 and the spring washer 520 for locking.

[0072] In practical applications, when the screw 510 is connected to the corresponding threaded hole, the spring washer 520 and the flat washer 530 are located on the same side and are arranged close to the head of the screw 510, and the spring washer 520 is located between the head of the screw 510 and the flat washer 530. In this way, the above-mentioned convenient angle adjustment can be achieved, and at the same time, when the screw 510 is tightened, the spring washer 520 first contacts the head of the screw 510, and then the flat washer 530 contacts the surface of the connected part, so that the pre-tightening force can be more evenly distributed.

[0073] It should be pointed out that, in addition to being formed by the above-mentioned flanging and sprouting method, the third threaded hole 231 and the fourth threaded hole 311 may also be formed by direct tapping, riveting screws, or a nut connected to the threaded hole or a kit with an internal thread, etc. For details, please refer to the formation method of the first threaded hole 120 and the second threaded hole 130, which will not be repeated here.

[0074] like Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, in an achievable embodiment, the support member 400 is further provided with a positioning pin 420 and an assembly hole 430. In this way, the device can be positioned and assembled to the support member 400 by means of the positioning hole at the bottom thereof cooperating with the positioning pin 420, and then the locking member 900 is connected to the device through the assembly hole 430, so that the device is accurately locked on the support member 400.

[0075] In actual applications, there can be two positioning pins 420, and the two positioning pins 420 are set close to the edge of the support member 400, so that the user can see the position of the positioning pins 420 when installing the device, so that the user can refer to the positioning pins 420 to install the device, which is convenient for operation.

[0076] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, based on the same inventive concept, the present application also provides a wall-mounted camera assembly, which at least includes a camera device 2000 and a bracket assembly 1000. The bracket assembly 1000 is used to be fixed on the wall through a mounting member 100, and the bracket assembly 1000 is connected to the camera device 2000 through a support member 400.

[0077] It should be pointed out that, regarding the specific structure of the bracket assembly 1000, reference may be made to the contents described in the above-mentioned embodiment, which will not be described in detail here.

[0078] It can be seen that in the technical solution provided by the present application, the first adapter is connected to the mounting member along the first axis through the first fastener, the second adapter is connected to the first adapter along the second axis through the third fastener, the second adapter is connected to the support member along the third axis through the fourth fastener, and the first axis, the second axis and the third axis are perpendicular to each other. In this way, the equipment installed on the support member can be rotated and adjusted around the first axis, the second axis, and the third axis, so as to achieve flexible adjustment at multiple angles.

[0079] Furthermore, it is worth mentioning that the plane where the support member is located is parallel to the direction of the first axis. When the device is installed and supported on the support member, the torque generated by the device on the support member directly acts on the joint surface between the first adapter and the mounting member. When the friction force of the joint surface between the first adapter and the mounting member is less than the torque generated by the device on the support member, the support member and the device thereon will rotate and tilt to the left or right on the YZ plane. The present application locks and connects the first adapter and the mounting member through the first fastener and at least one second fastener, that is, through at least double locking, to increase the fixing force between the first adapter and the mounting member, avoid relative rotation between the first adapter and the mounting member after locking, and ensure connection stability.

[0080] Furthermore, at least one of the first fastener, the second fastener, the third fastener, and the fourth fastener is a three-in-one fastener including a screw, a spring washer, and a flat washer. When the screw is loosened, the elastic force of the spring washer can be used to provide a certain holding force, or damping, between the two connected parts to facilitate angle adjustment, and after adjustment, the fastener can be tightened again to achieve better locking force and anti-loosening. At the same time, when the screw is tightened, the spring washer first contacts the screw head, and then the flat washer contacts the surface of the connected part, so that the preload force can be distributed more evenly.

[0081] Furthermore, the mounting member, the first adapter member, the second adapter member and the support member are formed by bending sheet metal, and the threaded holes thereon are formed by flanging stamping, which simplifies the production process, facilitates manufacturing and reduces production costs.

[0082] 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, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
