[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of connecting mechanisms of spherical cameras, in particular to a connecting mechanism of a spherical camera. Background Art

[0002] Spherical cameras have been widely used in public safety, traffic management, commercial operations and key infrastructure management due to their 360-degree rotation and high-definition image quality. They are suitable for a variety of environments such as urban streets, transportation hubs, commercial venues and high-rise buildings, providing comprehensive and efficient real-time monitoring solutions for relevant departments and institutions, effectively maintaining public order, ensuring traffic safety, improving operational efficiency, and ensuring the safe and stable operation of infrastructure.

[0003] When replacing or maintaining a dome camera, the complexity of the connection mechanism often results in prolonged high-altitude operations and increased operational insecurity. Traditional connection methods may involve cumbersome bolts, nuts or locking mechanisms, which require delicate operations in high-altitude environments, which is not only time-consuming but also poses a greater safety risk.

[0004] In actual use, if you try to use magnetic suction as a means of connection, although it may be more convenient during installation, when disassembling, due to the strong planar suction between the magnets, it takes a lot of effort to separate them. This not only brings great inconvenience to the operator, but may also cause equipment damage or personal injury due to improper operation.

[0005] Therefore, a connection mechanism for a spherical camera is now needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] The utility model aims to provide a connection mechanism for a spherical camera, so as to solve the problem that the magnetic attraction method proposed in the above background technology is used as a connection means and is inconvenient during disassembly.

[0008] Furthermore, a camera device is movably mounted on the lower end of the camera base, a protective cover is arranged on the outer side of the camera device, the protective cover is fixed on the lower end of the camera base, and the protective cover is made of transparent material.

[0009] Furthermore, a rubber pad is arranged between the first permanent magnet blocks, the rubber pad is fixed to the upper end of the camera base, and the thickness of the rubber pad is higher than that of the first permanent magnet block.

[0010] Furthermore, a mounting hole is provided in the middle of the connecting base, and a mounting bolt is provided through the mounting hole.

[0012] Furthermore, a knob is arranged on the outer side of the threaded rod.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effect of the utility model is: in actual use, when the camera body and the connecting base need to be separated, the threaded rod can be rotated to drive the internal threaded block to move horizontally, thereby pushing the lifting rod upward.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] 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.

The rotation of the threaded rod 32 can drive the internal thread block 33 to move horizontally, and the movement of the internal thread block 33 can push the lifting rod 34 to perform a lifting movement. The camera body 1 is the main part of the camera, which includes the core components and circuits of the camera; the second permanent magnet block 23 is connected to the first permanent magnet block 22 of the camera base 11 through magnetic attraction, so as to fix the camera body 1 and the connecting base 21; the groove 111 provides installation space for the threaded rod 32 and the lifting rod 34; by rotating the threaded rod 32, the internal thread block 33 is driven to move horizontally, thereby pushing the lifting rod 34 to perform a lifting movement; through the lifting action, a corner of the first permanent magnet block 22 and the second permanent magnet block 23 is pushed away, thereby reducing the magnetic attraction between the first permanent magnet block 22 and the second permanent magnet block 23, so that the camera body 1 and the connecting base 21 can be easily separated.

[0021] A camera device 12 is movably mounted at the lower end of the camera base 11, a protective cover 13 is arranged on the outside of the camera device 12, the protective cover 13 is fixed to the lower end of the camera base 11, the protective cover 13 is made of transparent material, the camera device 12 is the core part of the camera, and is responsible for shooting and recording images or videos; the protective cover 13 protects the camera device 12 from damage by the external environment, while allowing light to pass through for shooting.

[0022] A rubber pad 24 is arranged between the first permanent magnet blocks 22. The rubber pad 24 is fixed to the upper end of the camera base. The thickness of the rubber pad 24 is higher than that of the first permanent magnet block 22. The material of the rubber pad 24 has certain elasticity and softness. When the camera body 1 and the connecting base 21 approach each other under the action of magnetic force, the rubber pad 24 can absorb the impact force between the two to avoid the direct collision and breakage of the first permanent magnet block 22 and the second permanent magnet block 23, and can provide a certain damping effect. The damping effect can reduce the relative rotation or movement between the camera body 1 and the connecting base 21 caused by external vibration or impact, thereby maintaining the stability of the connection.

[0023] A mounting hole 211 is provided in the middle of the connecting base 21 , and a mounting bolt 212 is provided through the mounting hole 211 . By tightening the mounting bolt 212 , sufficient clamping force can be generated to form a tight connection between the connecting base 21 and the fixed structure.

[0024] A mounting groove 213 is provided at the lower end of the connecting base 21, and a second permanent magnet block 23 is arranged at the upper end of the mounting groove 213. The edge of the mounting groove 213 is inclined. When the camera is hit, the mounting groove 213 provides a certain resistance to prevent the camera body 1 from being hit and shifted sideways, causing the magnetic block to be repelled and fall off. The edge of the mounting groove 213 is inclined for easy installation.

[0025] A knob 35 is disposed on the outer side of the threaded rod 32 . The design of the knob 35 enables the user to easily rotate the threaded rod 32 by hand movements without using tools or additional force.

[0026] As an embodiment of the utility model: when using the connection mechanism of the spherical camera, firstly, the mounting bolt 212 is passed through the mounting hole 211 of the connecting base 21 and connected to the fixed structure. By tightening the mounting bolt 212, ensure that the connecting base 21 is firmly fixed at the desired position; place the camera body 1 above the connecting base 21, so that the first permanent magnet block 22 of the camera base 11 corresponds to the second permanent magnet block 23 of the connecting base 21. Under the action of magnetic force, the first permanent magnet block 22 and the second permanent magnet block 23 will attract each other to fix the camera body 1 on the connecting base 21. Due to the presence of the rubber pad 24, the impact force between the camera body 1 and the connecting base 21 will be absorbed to avoid direct collision and fragmentation. If the angle or position of the camera body 1 needs to be adjusted, the user can gently rotate or move the camera body 1 until the desired shooting angle or position is reached. Due to the damping effect provided by the rubber pad 24, the relative rotation or movement between the camera body 1 and the connecting base 21 will be reduced, thereby maintaining the stability of the connection;

[0027] When it is necessary to separate the camera body 1 and the connecting base 21, the threaded rod 32 is rotated to drive the internal thread block 33 to move horizontally. As the internal thread block 33 moves, the lifting rod 34 is pushed to perform a lifting movement. The lifting action of the lifting rod 34 will push away a corner of the first permanent magnet block 22 and the second permanent magnet block 23, reducing the magnetic attraction between the two, so that the camera body 1 and the connecting base 21 can be easily separated; thereby completing the use of the connecting mechanism of the spherical camera.

[0028] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
