[0030] A multi-eye camera refers to a camera with multiple cameras. Different numbers of cameras are required in different usage scenarios. The camera structure with adjustable number of cameras generally adopts an entire annular ball cover to cover multiple cameras together. In addition, an annular decorative piece is added between the annular ball cover and the camera base to cover the internal structure of the shell and the position where the lens is not installed. If the lens is not installed at the corresponding position, a decorative cover plate is required to fill the hole on the decorative piece.

[0031] The existing structural scheme has the following disadvantages: an annular ball cover is required to wrap the entire module inside the ball cover to achieve the purpose of waterproofing. This annular ball cover has high process requirements, is difficult to manufacture and has high costs; an appearance decorative part needs to be added to cover the internal structure of the shell to improve the user's viewing experience.

[0032] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model proposes a new multi-eye camera and its shell structure. The multi-eye camera shell structure includes a base 10 and a plurality of middle frames 20. The middle frame 20 can be a first frame 21 with a light-transmitting shooting area, or a second frame 22 without a light-transmitting shooting area. According to the number and arrangement of the cameras 40, a corresponding number of first frames 21 and second frames 22 can be selected to be installed on the base 10. Therefore, there is no need to design an annular ball cover, and there is no need to design a shielding plate at a position where there is no camera 40. The structure of the middle frame 20 of the utility model is simple, the types of parts are few, the processing technology is simple, and the processing cost is low.

[0033] The housing structure of the multi-camera provided in the embodiment of the utility model is now described.

[0034] Please also read Figures 1 to 4The multi-camera housing structure includes a base 10 and a plurality of middle frames 20 , and the plurality of middle frames 20 are sequentially arranged on the base 10 in a circumferential direction.

[0035] The base 10 is the bottom support structure of the multi-eye camera. The base 10 can be a multi-piece splicing structure, or a one-piece integrated structure.

[0036] There are multiple middle frames 20, and the multiple middle frames 20 are arranged in a ring shape and arranged around the center of the base 10. Each middle frame 20 can be a first frame 21 or a second frame 22. It can be understood that multiple first frames 21 are provided on the base 10, or the first frame 21 and the second frame 22 are provided on the base 10 at the same time. Among them, the first frame 21 has a light-transmitting shooting area, and the camera 40 can be located inside the first frame 21, that is, at least one camera 40 is installed at the position where the first frame 21 is provided. The second frame 22 does not have a light-transmitting shooting area, and the camera 40 is not installed at the position where the second frame 22 is provided. It should be noted that the light-transmitting shooting area can be provided with an opening structure for light to enter, and a transparent or translucent plate structure can also be provided for light to enter.

[0037] The number of cameras 40 of the multi-eye camera is multiple, and the number of cameras 40 can be selected according to the use needs, and the multiple cameras 40 are all set on the base 10. Each camera 40 is respectively accommodated in the corresponding first frame 21. When the number of cameras 40 changes, the number of first frames 21 can be adjusted, and the position where the camera 40 is not set can be filled with the second frame 22. Therefore, by adjusting the number and distribution of the first frame 21 and the second frame 22, cameras with different mesh numbers and different arrangement requirements can be adapted. The utility model adopts the middle frame 20 instead of the annular ball cover, and the structure and processing technology are simple, and there is no need to design appearance decoration parts, and there is no need to install shielding parts on the window without the camera 40.

[0038] The multi-eye camera housing structure in the above embodiment includes a base 10 and a plurality of middle frames 20 arranged circumferentially along the base 10. The middle frame 20 may be a first frame 21 having a light-transmitting shooting area, or a second frame 22 without a light-transmitting shooting area. When the number of meshes of the multi-eye camera needs to be adjusted, the number of the first frame 21 and the second frame 22 may be adjusted to meet the installation requirements of different numbers of meshes, and there is no need to design an annular ball cover. The middle frame 20 has a simple structure, is simple to process, does not need to design decorative parts, and has fewer types of parts.

[0039] In some embodiments of the present invention, please refer to Figure 2The first frame 21 and the second frame 22 can be detachably connected to the base 10, that is, the middle frame 20 is detachably connected to the base 10. After the first frame 21 and the second frame 22 are installed on the base 10, they can also be removed from the base 10. The base 10, the first frame 21 and the second frame 22 can be used multiple times, which is also convenient for the maintenance and reassembly of the multi-eye camera.

[0040] In some embodiments, the first frame 21 and the second frame 22 are connected to the base 10, and one of the middle frame 20 and the base 10 is provided with a buckle, and the other is provided with a slot, so that the middle frame 20 and the base 10 are detachably connected. The buckle connection method does not require disassembly tools, and the disassembly and assembly difficulty is relatively low.

[0041] In some embodiments, the first frame 21, the second frame 22 and the base 10 are connected by screws, and the middle frame 20 and the base 10 are both provided with connection holes, and the screws pass through the connection holes to fix the middle frame 20 and the base 10 to each other. When disassembling, the middle frame 20 can be removed by removing the screws. Connecting the middle frame 20 and the base 10 by screws makes the connection structure between the two more stable and not easy to fall off.

[0042] In some embodiments of the present invention, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the first frame 21 and the second frame 22 are both arc-shaped, and the first frame 21 and the second frame 22 have the same curvature. The side of the first frame 21 facing the center of the base 10 is the circumferential inner side, and the side away from the center of the base 10 is the circumferential outer side. The first frame 21 and the second frame 22 are both arc-shaped, which can be understood as the circumferential inner side of the first frame 21 and the circumferential inner side of the second frame 22 are both arc-shaped, so that the inner circle of the middle frame 20 is annular, thereby making the integrity of the middle frame 20 stronger. The curvature of the first frame 21 can be understood as the curvature corresponding to its radial inner side, and the curvature of the second frame 22 can be understood as the curvature corresponding to its radial inner side. The sum of the curvatures of the first frame 21 and the second frame 22 around the center of the base 10 is 360 degrees.

[0043] By setting the first frame 21 and the second frame 22 to be arc-shaped, the middle frame 20 can be annular, and all parts of the circumference of the base 10 are blocked by the middle frame 20. The first frame 21 and the second frame 22 have the same arc, which facilitates the interchange of the first frame 21 and the second frame 22, and the base 10 can be regularly provided with the camera 40 mounting structure 11.

[0044] In some embodiments, the arc of the first frame 21 and the second frame 22 is A, and 360 degrees is an integer multiple of A, so that multiple middle frames 20 are closely arranged circumferentially to just cover all circumferential positions of the base 10. For example, the arc A is 90 degrees, 60 degrees, 45 degrees, etc.

[0045] In some embodiments, the number of the middle frames 20 is three, four, five, etc., and the sum of the number of the first frame bodies 21 and the second frame bodies 22 is the number of the middle frames 20 .

[0046] In some embodiments of the present invention, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The first frame 21 includes a frame body 210 and a shielding piece 214. The frame body 210 has a shooting opening 2121 for the camera 40 to shoot. The shooting opening 2121 is located in the light-transmitting shooting area, and the shooting opening 2121 is set on the side of the frame body 210 away from the center of the base 10. The shielding piece 214 covers the shooting opening 2121; the second frame 22 is closed on the side away from the center of the base 10. The shooting opening 2121 is opened in the light-transmitting shooting area of ​​the frame body 210, and the shooting opening 2121 is directly opposite to the camera 40 for the camera 40 to shoot and frame. At the same time, the shooting opening 2121 is set on the outer wall of the first frame 21, facing the external direction of the camera to frame, so as to obtain a wider shooting field of view. There is no camera set at the corresponding position of the second frame 22. Therefore, the circumferential outer wall of the second frame 22 is closed to prevent dust and the like from entering the interior of the camera.

[0047] By providing a shooting opening 2121 on the frame body 210 and designing a shielding sheet 214 at the shooting opening 2121 , the first frame body 21 forms a light-transmitting shooting area for the camera 40 to shoot.

[0048] In some embodiments, the shielding sheet 214 is only used to shield dust, and the shielding sheet 214 is a transparent or translucent structure.

[0049] In some embodiments, the frame body 210 is sunken around the shooting opening 2121 to form a recessed structure 2122, and the recessed structure 2122 is closer to the camera 40 than other radially outer surfaces of the frame body 210. By setting the recessed structure 2122, the shooting opening 2121 can be closer to the camera 40, the amount of light entering is larger, the shooting effect is better, and the light-transmitting shooting area can be distinguished from other areas, so that the location of the camera 40 can be more easily identified.

[0050] In other embodiments, the first frame body 21 is an integrated structure, and at least a portion of the radially outer side of the first frame body 21 is a light-transmitting shooting area, allowing light to enter.

[0051] In some embodiments of the present invention, please refer to Figures 1 to 4The frame body 210 includes a first circumferential inner wall 211 disposed near the center of the base 10, a first circumferential outer wall 212 disposed away from the center of the base 10, and a first connecting wall 213 connecting the first circumferential inner wall 211 and the first circumferential outer wall 212, and the shooting opening 2121 is disposed on the first circumferential outer wall 212. The first circumferential outer wall 212 and the second circumferential outer wall 222 are spaced apart and connected by the first connecting wall 213 to form the frame body 210. The frame body 210 has an accommodating cavity inside, and the accommodating cavity can accommodate at least one camera 40.

[0052] By setting the frame body 210 as a first circumferential inner wall 211, a first circumferential outer wall 212 and a first connecting wall 213, a receiving cavity is formed inside the frame body 210 to accommodate the camera 40, so that the frame body 210 and the shielding piece 214 can protect the camera 40 in the receiving cavity.

[0053] In some embodiments, the first circumferential inner wall 211 and the first circumferential outer wall 212 are both arc-shaped walls, and the radius of the first circumferential inner wall 211 is smaller than the inner diameter of the first circumferential outer wall 212. In this way, when multiple middle frames 20 are arranged circumferentially, a complete annular structure can be formed, making the camera more integrated and reducing the sense of fragmentation of the camera.

[0054] In some embodiments, there are multiple first connecting walls 213 , which may be three, four, etc. The first connecting walls 213 may be located on the side surface or the top surface of the middle frame 20 .

The first circumferential outer wall 212 includes a plurality of first separation areas 2124, and two adjacent first separation areas 2124 are separated by a first separation mark 2123.

[0058] The first circumferential outer wall 212 is divided into a plurality of first separation areas 2124 by setting the first separation marks 2123 , and the shooting openings 2121 are located at the corresponding first separation areas 2124 , so that the position of the camera 40 is clearer, and the structure of the first circumferential outer wall 212 is a repeated structure.

[0059] In some embodiments, the first separation mark 2123 is a parting line, which is convex or concave to distinguish it from other parts of the first circumferential outer wall 212 so as to divide the first circumferential outer wall 212 .

[0060] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 The second frame 22 has a second circumferential outer wall 222 on the side away from the center of the base 10. The second circumferential outer wall 222 includes a plurality of second separation areas 2222 arranged in sequence in the circumferential direction, and a second separation mark 2221 is provided between two adjacent second separation areas 2222.

The structure of the second circumferential outer wall 222 is similar to that of the first circumferential outer wall 212, so that the camera has a stronger integrity, is more beautiful and has a better texture.

[0062] Optionally, the second dividing mark 2221 is a parting line, which is convex or concave to be distinguished from other parts of the second circumferential outer wall 222 so as to divide the second circumferential outer wall 222 .

[0063] Optionally, see Figure 4 The second frame 22 includes a second circumferential inner wall 221 disposed near the center of the base 10 , a second circumferential outer wall 222 disposed away from the center of the base 10 , and a second connecting wall 223 connecting the second circumferential inner wall 221 and the second circumferential outer wall 222 .

[0064] Optionally, the second circumferential inner wall 221 and the second circumferential outer wall 222 are both arc-shaped walls, and the radius of the second circumferential inner wall 221 is smaller than the inner diameter of the second circumferential outer wall 222. In this way, when multiple middle frames 20 are arranged circumferentially, a complete annular structure can be formed, making the camera more integrated and reducing the sense of fragmentation of the camera.

[0065] Optionally, the number of the second connecting walls 223 is multiple, which may be three, four, etc., and the second connecting walls 223 may be located on the side, top, and bottom surfaces of the middle frame 20. For example, the number of the second connecting walls 223 is three: one circumferential end of the second circumferential inner wall 221 is connected to one circumferential end of the second circumferential outer wall 222 via a second connecting wall 223; the other circumferential end of the second circumferential inner wall 221 is connected to the other circumferential end of the second circumferential outer wall 222 via a second connecting wall 223; the top end of the second circumferential inner wall 221 is connected to the top end of the second circumferential outer wall 222 via a second connecting wall 223.

[0066] Optionally, except for the first circumferential outer wall 212 and the second circumferential outer wall 222 , the structures of other parts of the first frame body 21 and the second frame body 22 may be the same, thereby improving the similarity between the first frame body 21 and the second frame body 22 and reducing the design cost of the middle frame 20 .

[0067] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 At least two first separation areas 2124 are provided with shooting openings 2121, and at least one first separation area 2124 is provided between two adjacent shooting openings 2121. Accordingly, in the first frame 21, at least one first separation area 2124 is provided between two adjacent cameras 40, so that there is a large distance between the two adjacent cameras 40, and the overlapping area of ​​the shooting fields of the two cameras 40 is small, so that the shooting capability of each camera 40 can be fully utilized.
