[0040] See also Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 The present utility model embodiment provides a camera housing assembly, which includes:

[0041] Outer shell 1;

[0042] The inner housing 100 (also referred to as the inner cover) is movably mounted on the inner side of the outer housing 1. The inner housing 100 is used to mount the camera body 2. The camera body 2 mainly includes the camera head and other core electronic components;

[0043] An elastic support mechanism 200 is arranged between the outer shell 1 and the inner shell 100. The elastic support structure includes an elastic pressure piece and a pressing component. The pressing component can be movably installed on the inner shell 100 and is in contact with the elastic pressure piece to press against the inner side of the outer shell 1 through the elastic pressure of the elastic pressure piece, so that the elastic pressure piece and the pressing component jointly form an elastic support between the outer shell 1 and the inner shell 100 to eliminate the gap between the outer shell 1 and the inner shell 100 caused by tolerance and assembly.

[0044] Since in the camera shell assembly provided by the embodiment of the utility model, an elastic support mechanism 200 is arranged between the outer shell 1 and the inner shell 100 of the camera shell assembly, and the elastic pressure member and the pressing member in the elastic support mechanism 200 jointly form an elastic support between the outer shell 1 and the inner shell 100 to eliminate the gap between the outer shell 1 and the inner shell 100 caused by tolerance and assembly, the elastic support mechanism 200 can effectively compensate for the gap between the outer shell 1 and the inner shell 100, eliminate the gap between the outer shell 1 and the inner shell 100 caused by tolerance and assembly, so as to eliminate or greatly reduce the shaking of the inner shell 100 relative to the outer shell 1, thereby eliminating or greatly reducing the shaking of the camera body 2 installed in the inner shell 100, and improving the reliability and stability of the camera using the camera shell assembly.

[0045] See also Figure 2 and Figure 4 According to one embodiment of the utility model, the pressing component includes a support arm 201 and a pressing roller 202 pressed against the inner side of the outer shell 1, one end of the support arm 201 is rotatably connected to the inner shell 100, and the pressing roller 202 is rotatably connected to the second end of the support arm 201, and the support arm 201 is in contact with the elastic pressure member.

[0046] In the present embodiment, it can be understood that the elastic pressure member contacts and cooperates with the support arm 201, generating an elastic pressure that causes the second end of the support arm 201 to move toward the outer shell 1, thereby allowing the pressing roller 202 to be pressed against the inner side of the outer shell 1 through the elastic pressure of the elastic pressure member.

[0047] In this embodiment, a specific embodiment in which the pressure roller 202 is rotatably connected to the second end of the support arm 201 can be: the second end of the support arm 201 has a rotating shaft hole, and the pressure roller 202 is formed with a rotating shaft installed in the rotating shaft hole; another specific embodiment in which the pressure roller 202 is rotatably connected to the second end of the support arm 201 can be: the second end of the support arm 201 has a mounting shaft, and the pressure roller 202 is formed with an shaft hole rotatably mounted on the mounting shaft.

[0048] As another embodiment, the pressing roller 202 is not necessarily rotatably connected to the second end of the support arm 201 , and the pressing roller 202 may also be fixed to the second end of the support arm 201 .

[0049] When the pressing roller 202 is fixed to the second end of the supporting arm 201 , there are two embodiments.

[0050] One embodiment is that the pressing roller 202 is installed as a whole piece at the second end of the supporting arm 201 and is completely immovable.

[0051] Another embodiment is: the pressure roller 202 can be divided into two parts, a fixed part fixedly installed on the second end of the support arm 201 and an outer ring part rotatably installed on the outside of the fixed part, similar to the structure of a bearing. In this way, by relying on the rotation of the outer ring part of the pressure roller 202, a function similar to that of the pressure roller 202 rotatably connected to the second end of the support arm 201 can also be achieved.

[0052] Among them, the present application preferably has the pressure roller 202 rotatably connected to the second end of the support arm 201, or the pressure roller 202 has a rotatable outer ring portion. During the rotation of the pressure roller 202 or the outer ring portion, it can better adapt to the relative movement between the outer shell 1 and the inner shell 100 to better compensate for the gap between the outer shell 1 and the inner shell 100.

[0053] As other embodiments, the pressing roller 202 is not necessarily rotatably connected to the second end of the support arm 201 , but may be movably connected to the second end of the support arm 201 , or rotatably and movably connected to the second end of the support arm 201 .

[0054] See also Figure 2 and Figure 4 According to a specific embodiment of the utility model, a hinge column 101 is provided on the inner shell 100, one end of the support arm 201 is rotatably mounted on the hinge column 101, and the elastic pressure member is a torsion spring 203 mounted on the hinge column 101. The first extension end 204 of the torsion spring 203 abuts against the inner shell 100, specifically, it can abut against the abutment platform 103 provided on the inner shell 100, and the second extension end 205 of the torsion spring 203 is connected to the support arm 201. Specifically, a socket 206 can be provided on the support arm 201, and the second extension end 205 of the torsion spring 203 is inserted into the socket 206.

[0055] As another embodiment, the second extension end 205 of the torsion spring 203 is not connected to the support arm 201 but may contact the support arm 201 , for example, the second extension end 205 of the torsion spring 203 is elastically pressed against the support arm 201 in a direction toward the outer shell 1 .

[0056] According to one embodiment of the utility model, the pressing roller 202 is a plastic-coated bearing roller, which has a silent effect and a certain elasticity. On the one hand, it can avoid abnormal noise in the process of compensating the gap between the outer shell 1 and the inner shell 100, and on the other hand, it can use its elasticity to better adapt to the outer shell 1 and the inner shell 100. Specifically, the role of "plastic coating" in the plastic-coated bearing roller is silent, and the role of "bearing" is to increase the service life of the plastic-coated bearing roller. However, the utility model is not limited to plastic-coated bearing rollers. The pressing roller 202 can also be any type of roller with or without bearings.

[0057] The elastic support structure listed in the above embodiments mainly includes a support arm 201, a torsion spring 203 and a pressing roller 202, but as other embodiments, the elastic support structure is not limited to this specific structural form, and can also be in the form of an independent elastic component or a component with elastic pressure function composed of other components.

[0058] See also Figure 2 and Figure 4 According to one embodiment of the utility model, the outer side of the inner shell 100 has a recessed space 102, and one end of the support arm 201 is rotatably connected to the portion of the inner shell 100 located in the recessed space 102, and can be specifically connected to the bottom table 104 corresponding to the recessed space 102. For example, a hinge column 101 is provided on the bottom table 104 corresponding to the recessed space 102, and the blocking platform 103 can also be provided on the bottom table 104 corresponding to the recessed space 102.

[0059] In this embodiment, a hinge column 101 or a hinge hole may be provided on the bottom table 104 of the inner shell body in the recessed space 102. When a hinge column 101 is provided, one end of the support arm 201 can be rotatably mounted on the hinge column 101; when a hinge hole is provided, one end of the support arm 201 forms a hinge rod that can be rotatably inserted into the hinge hole.

[0060] See also Figure 1 According to one embodiment of the utility model, at least three elastic support mechanisms 200 are arranged between the outer shell 1 and the inner shell 100 at intervals. The elastic support mechanisms 200 are arranged at multiple points, which can better compensate for the gap between the outer shell 1 and the inner shell 100. Of course, even if the number of elastic support mechanisms 200 is less than 3, it will fall within the protection scope of the utility model.

[0061] Regarding the specific number of the elastic support mechanisms 200 , for example, 3 elastic support mechanisms 200 , 4 elastic support mechanisms 200 , or 5 elastic support mechanisms 200 may be provided.

[0062] See also Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 According to one embodiment of the utility model, the inner shell 100 is rotatably connected to the outer shell 1 through the first rotating shaft 3, and at least three elastic support mechanisms 200 are arranged around the axis of the first rotating shaft 3. The at least three elastic support mechanisms 200 can be in the same plane perpendicular to the axis of the first rotating shaft 3, or in different planes perpendicular to the axis of the first rotating shaft 3.

[0063] See also Figure 1According to a preferred embodiment of the utility model, at least three elastic support mechanisms 200 are arranged at equal angles around the axis of the first rotating shaft 3. For example, three elastic support mechanisms 200 are arranged in sequence at an interval angle of 120°, four elastic support mechanisms 200 are arranged in sequence at an interval angle of 90°, and so on. In this way, at least three elastic support mechanisms 200 can form uniform force application points between the outer shell 1 and the inner shell 100, which helps to uniformly and stably contact and fit with the outer shell 1 and the inner shell 100 (elastic pressure fit).

[0064] See also Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 According to one embodiment of the utility model, the camera body 2 is a spherical body, which can be connected to the inner shell 100 through the second rotating shaft 4. The second rotating shaft 4 can be arranged perpendicular to the first rotating shaft 3, or can be arranged along other directions. At this time, the camera shell assembly corresponds to the shell assembly of an integrated high-speed ball smart ball (high-speed ball).

[0065] In addition, the utility model also provides a monitoring camera, wherein the monitoring camera includes the above-mentioned camera housing assembly. The monitoring camera obviously possesses all the advantages of the above-mentioned camera housing assembly, which will not be repeated here. The monitoring camera can specifically be an integrated high-speed ball, smart ball or other suitable types of cameras.

[0066] The above description is only an optional embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
