A first feature being "below", "below" and "below" a second feature includes that the first feature is directly below and obliquely below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is lower in level than the second feature.

[0043] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper", "lower", "right", etc., directions or positional relationships are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of description and simplification of operation, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation of the present invention. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish in the description and have no special meaning.

[0044] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, this embodiment provides a base module 100, which is used to carry a lens module 200. The base module 100 includes an upper seat component 1, a first damping member 2, a lower seat component 3 and a second damping member 4; the first damping member 2 is arranged on the upper seat component 1, and the lens module 200 is rotatably connected to the upper seat component 1 through the first damping member 2; the lower seat component 3 includes a counterweight 31; the second damping member 4 passes through the upper seat component 1 and the lower seat component 3, and the upper seat component 1 and the lower seat component 3 are rotatably connected through the second damping member 4.

[0045] Specifically, when the photographing angle of the lens module 200 needs to be adjusted, the lens module 200 is directly rotated. The lens module 200 rotates around the central axis of the first damping member 2 and stays at a preset position. At this time, the center of gravity of the lens module 200 changes. However, due to the adjustment effect of the counterweight 31, the position change of the center of gravity of the camera as a whole is not obvious, so that the camera is not easy to tip over.

[0046] In this embodiment, the first damping member 2 and the second damping member 4 are existing components, and the lens module 200 can use the damping force provided by the first damping member 2 to stay at any angle position to meet the user's adjustment needs for the photographic angle; the upper seat component 1 and the lower seat component 3 can rotate relative to each other and be clamped and fixed on a support member, such as a display. The upper seat component 1 and the lower seat component 3 clamp the display and use the damping force provided by the second damping member 4 to maintain the clamping state.

[0047] In this embodiment, the central axis of the first damping member 2 is arranged in parallel with the central axis of the second damping member 4 .

[0048] Optionally, the lower seat assembly 3 also includes a lower base 32, a lower support platform 33 and a first gasket 34; the counterweight 31 is fixedly installed on the lower base 32; the lower support platform 33 is fixedly installed on the lower base 32, and the counterweight 31 is located between the lower support platform 33 and the lower base 32; the first gasket 34 is attached to the surface of the lower support platform 33 facing the upper seat assembly 1, and the lower support platform 33 is used to support the first gasket 34.

[0049] The first gasket 34 is made of rubber material and has anti-slip and buffering functions. When the first gasket 34 abuts against the display, it has greater friction and can also prevent the display from being scratched; the lower support platform 33 supports the first gasket 34 to prevent the first gasket 34 from collapsing; the counterweight 31 can also increase the pressure applied by the first gasket 34 to the support member, further increasing the friction between the first gasket 34 and the support member, thereby improving the anti-slip effect.

[0050] Optionally, the lower base 32 is provided with a limiting groove 323, the bottom of the limiting groove 323 is provided with a through hole, the counterweight 31 is provided with a through hole, the counterweight 31 is embedded in the limiting groove 323, the limiting groove 323 pre-positions the counterweight 31 so that the through hole of the counterweight 31 is aligned with the through hole at the bottom of the limiting groove 323, and the locking piece passes through the through hole at the bottom of the limiting groove 323 and the through hole of the counterweight 31, thereby locking the counterweight 31 in the limiting groove 323.

[0051] Optionally, a slot 321 is provided at the rear end of the lower base 32, a connecting hole 322 is provided at the front end of the lower base 32, a boss 331 is provided at the rear end of the lower support platform 33, and a connecting column 332 is provided at the front end of the lower support platform 33. The boss 331 is snapped into the slot 321, and the threaded locking piece passes through the connecting hole 322 and is threadedly connected to the connecting column 332.

[0052] The front and rear ends of the lower support platform 33 are fixed to prevent the lower support platform 33 from shifting to ensure the stability of the lower support platform 33 supporting the first gasket 34. The rear end of the lower support platform 33 is clamped to the rear end of the lower base 32 by a snap-fitting manner, and the front end of the lower support platform 33 is connected to the front end of the lower base 32 by a threaded locking manner, which can reduce the number of threaded locking parts and facilitate disassembly and assembly. You only need to remove the threaded locking parts at the front end position to make the boss 331 of the lower support platform 33 withdraw from the slot 321 of the lower base 32.

[0053] Optionally, a side of the lower support platform 33 facing the counterweight 31 is provided with an abutment portion 333 , and the abutment portion 333 abuts against the counterweight 31 to improve the structural strength of the middle portion of the lower support platform 33 .

[0054] Optionally, the first gasket 34 includes a folded portion 341 folded between the lower base 32 and the lower support platform 33, and the lower support platform 33 presses the folded portion 341 against the lower base 32. When the first gasket 34 abuts against the display, friction is generated between the first gasket 34 and the display. In order to prevent the first gasket 34 from detaching from the lower support platform 33, this embodiment clamps and fixes the folded portion 341 of the first gasket 34 between the lower support platform 33 and the lower base 32.

[0055] In this embodiment, the second damping member 4 passes through the rear end of the upper seat assembly 1 and the rear end of the lower seat assembly 3, and the front end of the lower support platform 33 is provided with a first arc portion 334, and the first arc portion 334 presses the folded portion 341 against the lower base 32. The first gasket 34 includes a second arc portion 342 attached to the first arc portion 334, and the front end of the upper seat assembly 1 is provided with a front abutment 111 folded to the front of the second arc portion 342. When the base module 100 is installed on the support member, the front abutment 111 abuts against the front side of the support member, and the second arc portion 342 abuts against the back side of the support member.

[0056] The support member in this embodiment is a display, and in some other embodiments, it may also be an actual application place such as a desktop on an office desk.

[0057] When the camera is installed on the top of the display, the front abutment portion 111 abuts against the front of the display, and the second arc-shaped portion 342 abuts against the back of the display. When the shooting angle of the lens module 200 needs to be lowered, the lens module 200 is rotated so that the front end of the lens module 200 drops and the rear end rises. At this time, the center of gravity of the lens module 200 moves forward by a first preset value. Since the counterweight 31 does not change its position, the center of gravity of the entire camera moves forward by a distance less than the first preset value, thereby ensuring that the camera is not easy to tip over.

[0058] The second arc portion 342 of the first gasket 34 has a larger contact area with the display, which increases the friction coefficient and prevents relative sliding. The second arc portion 342 is supported by the first arc portion 334 of the lower support platform 33 to ensure support stability. Since the second arc portion 342 is subjected to a larger friction force, the first arc portion 334 is used to clamp the folding portion 341 connected to the second arc portion 342 to prevent the second arc portion 342 from being separated from the first arc portion 334.

[0059] In this embodiment, the first gasket 34 is fixed by clamping, which can reduce the number of threaded fasteners and prevent the threaded fasteners from touching the display compared to the locking method of threaded fasteners.

[0060] Optionally, the upper seat assembly 1 includes an upper base 11, an upper support platform 12, a second gasket 13 and a third gasket 14, the front abutment 111 is located at the front end of the upper base 11; the upper support platform 12 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the upper base 11; the second gasket 13 is attached to the bottom surface of the upper support platform 12; and the third gasket 14 is attached to the side of the front abutment 111 facing the second arc-shaped portion 342.

[0061] The second gasket 13 and the third gasket 14 are both made of rubber material and have anti-slip and buffering functions.

[0062] When the camera is installed on the top of the display, the third gasket 14 is located between the front abutment portion 111 and the front of the display. When the first gasket 34 abuts against the front of the display, it has a large friction force and can also prevent the front of the display from being scratched. The second gasket 13 abuts against the top of the display and mainly plays a buffering function.

[0063] Optionally, the upper seat assembly 1 further includes a bearing platform 15, the upper base 11 is provided with a mounting opening, the bearing platform 15 passes through the mounting opening, the upper support platform 12 presses the bottom edge of the bearing platform 15 against the bottom surface of the upper base 11, and the first damping member 2 is arranged on the top of the bearing platform 15. The mounting height of the lens module 200 is raised by the bearing platform 15, so that the lens module 200 has a larger range of rotation space.

[0064] Optionally, the upper seat assembly 1 further includes a sealing ring 16 , which is sealingly disposed between the bottom end of the supporting platform 15 and the bottom surface of the upper base 11 .

[0065] like Figure 5 As shown, this embodiment also provides a camera, which includes a lens module 200 and the above base module 100, and the lens module 200 is rotatably mounted on the base module 100.

[0066] Optionally, both ends of the first damping member 2 are respectively covered with a sound-absorbing cover 300 to reduce noise.

[0067] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for the purpose of clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, various obvious changes, readjustments and substitutions can be made without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. It is not necessary and impossible to list all implementation methods here.
