[0029] The following is combined with Figure 1-4 The utility model is described in further detail.

[0030] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3, an embodiment of the utility model is provided: a camera positioning structure of a car fender, comprising a decorative piece 1, a mounting groove 101 is provided at the top of the decorative piece 1, a fixing seat 102 is fixedly provided at both ends of the decorative piece 1, a first clamping block 5 is fixedly provided at both ends of the top of the mounting groove 101, the cross section of the first clamping block 5 is T-shaped, a second clamping block 6 is fixedly provided at the middle position of the top of the mounting groove 101, the cross section of the second clamping block 6 is dovetail-shaped, a connecting seat 2 is provided at the top of the decorative piece 1, the bottom of the connecting seat 2 contacts one side of the mounting groove 101, a first clamping groove 201 is provided at both ends of one side of the outer wall of the connecting seat 2, the first clamping groove 201 is clamped with the first clamping block 5, the first clamping block 5 is extruded and connected with the first clamping groove 201, the second clamping groove 202 is clamped with the second clamping block 6, the second clamping block 6 is extruded and connected with the second clamping groove 202, a second clamping groove 202 is provided at the middle position of one side of the outer wall of the connecting seat 2, and a camera body 3 is provided at the top of the connecting seat 2;

[0031] When installing the camera body 3, the connecting base 2 at one end of the camera body 3 is placed on the top of the decorative member 1, and the first card slot 201 and the second card slot 202 on one side of the connecting base 2 are kept aligned with the first card block 5 and the second card block 6, and then the connecting base 2 is pushed downward to synchronously drive the camera body 3 to move downward, and through the movement of the connecting base 2, the second card block 6 and the top of the first card block 5 are inserted into the second card slot 202 and the first card slot 201, and then the connecting base 2 continues to move downward until the bottom of the connecting base 2 abuts against the bottom of the inner wall of the mounting groove 101, so that the camera body 3 can be quickly installed, and the camera body 3 is supported by the bottom of the mounting groove 101, and then the first card block 5, the second card block 6 and the first card slot 201, the second card slot 202 are connected by the card connection and extrusion connection, so that the camera body 3 can be stably and quickly installed and positioned, thereby ensuring the efficiency of the camera body 3 during installation and positioning.

[0032] See also Figure 1 and Figure 4 A fixing plate 4 is installed between the connecting seat 2 and the camera body 3, and the fixing plate 4 and the camera body 3 are fixedly connected. A rotating shaft 203 is provided between the connecting seat 2 and the fixing plate 4. A rotating groove 401 for inserting the rotating shaft 203 is provided inside the fixing plate 4. The cross section of the rotating groove 401 is circular. A first hemispherical clamping block 7 is provided around the inner wall of the rotating groove 401, and a second hemispherical clamping block 8 is provided around the outer wall of the rotating shaft 203. The first hemispherical clamping block 7 is clamped with the second hemispherical clamping block 8. A limiting block 9 is fixedly provided on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 203, and a limiting groove 10 for rotating the limiting block 9 is provided inside the fixing plate 4;

[0033] When adjusting the shooting angle after the camera body 3 is installed, the camera body 3 is manually rotated. Through the movement of the camera body 3, the fixed plate 4 and the rotating groove 401 inside the fixed plate 4 and the first hemisphere clamping block 7 are synchronously driven to rotate. When the first hemisphere clamping block 7 rotates, plastic deformation is synchronously generated between the first hemisphere clamping block 7 and the second hemisphere clamping block 8. During the rotation of the camera body 3, the limit groove 10 rotates synchronously around the limit block 9 to ensure the stability of the camera body 3 during rotation. After the rotation of the camera body 3 is completed, the first hemisphere clamping block 7 and the second hemisphere clamping block 8 are automatically clamped to achieve the fixation of the camera body 3. Then, through the clamping between the first hemisphere clamping block 7 and the second hemisphere clamping block 8, the angle of the camera body 3 can be adjusted and effectively fixed after adjustment, which further improves the practicality of the camera body 3 during use and expands the scope of application of the device.

[0034] Working principle: First, when installing the camera body 3, place the connecting seat 2 at one end of the camera body 3 on the top of the decorative piece 1, and keep the first card slot 201 and the second card slot 202 on one side of the connecting seat 2 aligned with the first card block 5 and the second card block 6, then push the connecting seat 2 downward, and synchronously drive the camera body 3 to move downward, and through the movement of the connecting seat 2, until the second card block 6 and the top of the first card block 5 are inserted into the second card slot 202 and the first card slot 201, then through the continued downward movement of the connecting seat 2, until the bottom of the connecting seat 2 abuts against the bottom of the inner wall of the installation groove 101, the camera body 3 can be quickly installed, and the camera body 3 is supported by the bottom of the installation groove 101, and then the first card block 5, the second card block 6 and the first card slot 201, the second card slot 202 are connected by the card connection and extrusion connection, so as to achieve stable and fast installation and positioning of the camera body 3, thereby ensuring the efficiency of the camera body 3 during installation and positioning;

[0035] Finally, when adjusting the shooting angle after the camera body 3 is installed, the camera body 3 is manually rotated. Through the movement of the camera body 3, the fixed plate 4 and the rotating groove 401 inside the fixed plate 4 and the first hemisphere clamping block 7 are synchronously driven to rotate. When the first hemisphere clamping block 7 rotates, plastic deformation is synchronously generated between the first hemisphere clamping block 7 and the second hemisphere clamping block 8. During the rotation of the camera body 3, the limit groove 10 rotates synchronously around the limit block 9 to ensure the stability of the camera body 3 during rotation. After the rotation of the camera body 3 is completed, the first hemisphere clamping block 7 and the second hemisphere clamping block 8 are automatically clamped to achieve the fixation of the camera body 3. Then, through the clamping between the first hemisphere clamping block 7 and the second hemisphere clamping block 8, the angle of the camera body 3 can be adjusted and effectively fixed after adjustment, which further improves the practicality of the camera body 3 during use and expands the scope of application of the device.

[0036] It is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential features of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-restrictive from any point of view, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description, and it is intended that all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims be included in the present invention.
