[0026] In addition, in the present invention, the descriptions of "first", "second", etc. are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features.
[0027] Please also read Figures 1 to 10As shown, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: a retractable rotatable camera structure, comprising a product body 10, a bracket assembly 20 and a camera 30; the product body 10 comprises a shell 101, a receiving groove 102 is provided inside the shell 101, and an opening groove 103 connected to the receiving groove 102 is provided on the edge of the shell 101; the bracket assembly 20 is retractably arranged in the receiving groove 102, the camera 30 is located in the opening groove 103, and the bracket assembly 20 and the camera 30 are rotatably connected.
[0028] In the retractable and rotatable camera structure provided in this embodiment, when the user needs to extend the camera 30 from the inside of the product body 10 to the outside of the product body 10 for use, the user can hold the camera 30 at the opening slot 103 of the shell 101 and pull it out of the shell 101. When the camera 30 is pulled out, the bracket assembly 20 is driven to extend from the receiving slot 102 of the shell 101. The bracket assembly 20 is used to extend a certain distance from the receiving slot 102 of the shell 101 to support the camera 30 to be located outside the shell 101 for use. Since the bracket assembly 20 is rotatably connected to the camera 30, when the camera 30 is pulled out and located outside the shell 101 for use, the user can freely manually rotate the left and right angles of the camera 30 on the bracket assembly 20 for use. When the user needs to retract the camera 30 from the outside of the product body 10 to the inside of the product body 10, the camera 30 can be manually pushed into the opening slot 103 of the shell 101. During the process of the camera 30 being pushed in, the bracket assembly 20 is driven to move and be accommodated in the receiving slot 102 of the shell 101. In the utility model, the user can freely pull the camera 30 from the inside of the product body 10 to the outside of the product body 10 for use, and the user can freely retract the camera 30 from the outside of the product body 10 to the inside of the product body 10 to hide it, so that the camera 30 is not often exposed to the outside of the product body 10 to achieve protection of the camera 30; and the camera 30 can be rotated left and right on the bracket assembly 20 by the user for adjustment, so that the function is convenient and practical.
[0029] It is worth noting that the above-mentioned product body 10 can be, for example, a tablet computer, a display, a face card reader or an all-in-one functional machine.
[0030] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the bracket assembly 20 is composed of a first bracket 201 and a second bracket 202 that are hinged; the first bracket 201 is located in the receiving groove 102 of the shell 101 and away from the opening groove 103, the second bracket 202 is located in the receiving groove 102 of the shell 101 and close to the opening groove 103, and the second bracket 202 is rotatably connected to the camera 30.
[0031] In specific implementation, when the user pulls the camera 30 out of the opening slot 103 of the housing 101 to the outside of the housing 101, the camera 30 can drive the bracket assembly 20 to extend from the receiving slot 102 of the housing 101. When the bracket assembly 20 extends from the receiving slot 102 of the housing 101, the first bracket 201 of the bracket assembly 20 moves to be located in the opening slot 103 of the housing 101, and the second bracket 202 of the bracket assembly 20 moves to be located outside the housing 101. Since the first bracket 201 and the second bracket 202 are hinged, and the second bracket 202 is rotatably connected to the camera 30, the second bracket 202 can be manually moved by the user to pitch and rotate on the first bracket 201 to adjust the angle, and then the second bracket 202 drives the camera 30 to adjust the pitch angle when it pitches and rotates. Through such a setting, the bracket assembly 20 can be used by the user to adjust the pitch angle of the camera 30.
[0032] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Fig.10 As shown, in some embodiments, a limit block 104 is provided on the shell 101 and corresponds to both sides of the opening groove 103, and a contact strip 2012 is provided on both sides of the first bracket 201. The limit blocks 104 corresponding to both sides of the opening groove 103 are used to respectively abut the abutment strips 2012 on both sides of the first bracket 201; the surface of the first bracket 201 is elastically connected with an elastic pressing block 2011, and the elastic pressing block 2011 is used to abut the notch edge 1011 of the shell 101 corresponding to the opening groove 103.
[0033] During specific implementation: when the camera 30 is pulled out to the outside of the shell 101 and drives the bracket assembly 20 to extend from the receiving groove 102 of the shell 101, the first bracket 201 of the bracket assembly 20 moves to be located in the opening groove 103 of the shell 101, and the second bracket 202 of the bracket assembly 20 moves to be located outside the shell 101, and the limiting blocks 104 corresponding to both sides of the opening groove 103 respectively abut against the abutting strips 2012 on both sides of the first bracket 201, and the elastic pressing blocks 2011 elastically connected to the surface of the first bracket 201 are elastically raised due to being squeezed out of the receiving groove 102 of the shell 101 to abut against the notch edge 1011 of the shell 101 corresponding to the opening groove 103, thereby limiting the first bracket 201 at the opening groove 103 of the shell 101, and then the extended state of the bracket assembly 20 is self-lockingly maintained to support the camera 30 for use outside the shell 101. When the camera 30 needs to be pushed into the opening slot 103 of the shell 101 for retraction, the user can manually press the low-elasticity pressing block 2011 to make it embed into the receiving slot 102 of the shell 101, and then manually push the camera 30 into the opening slot 103 of the shell 101. During the process of the camera 30 being pushed into the opening slot 103 of the shell 101, the bracket assembly 20 can be driven to move and be accommodated in the receiving slot 102 of the shell 101. After the bracket assembly 20 moves to the receiving slot 102 of the shell 101 and touches the bottom, the user can stop pressing. The camera 30 is pushed in, and the elastic pressing block 2011 elastically connected to the surface of the first bracket 201 is squeezed with the part of the shell 101 at the top of the receiving groove 102, so that the first bracket 201 is slightly stuck in the receiving groove 102 of the shell 101, and then the bracket assembly 20 is stuck in the receiving groove 102 of the shell 101. When the bracket assembly 20 is stuck in the receiving groove 102 of the shell 101, it supports the camera 30 to be located in the opening groove 103 of the shell 101 without disengaging, and the camera 30 can be completely retracted inside the shell 101. Through such a setting, when the camera 30 is pulled to the outside of the shell 101 for use, the bracket assembly 20 is driven by the camera 30 to extend and can be self-locked, so that the bracket assembly 20 can stably support the camera 30 to be located outside the shell 101 for use; and when the camera 30 is pushed in the inside of the shell 101 for retraction, the bracket assembly 20 can be automatically stuck, so that the bracket assembly 20 can stably support the camera 30 to be located inside the shell 101 for retraction.
[0034] Please refer to Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the second bracket 202 and the camera 30 are connected via a rotating shaft 40 .
[0035] In specific implementation, when the camera 30 is pulled out of the opening slot 103 of the housing 101 to be used, the user can manually rotate the camera 30 on the second bracket 202 to the left and right angles. When the camera 30 is rotated on the second bracket 202 to the left and right angles, the second bracket 202 and the camera 30 rotate via the rotating shaft 40. With such a setting, the camera 30 can be effectively rotated on the second bracket 202 to the left and right angles by the user to adjust the use angle.
[0036] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, hinge shafts 2013 are respectively provided on both sides of one end of the first bracket 201, and connecting bodies 2021 are respectively provided on both sides of one end of the second bracket 202. The hinge shafts 2013 on both sides of one end of the first bracket 201 are respectively hinged to the connecting bodies 2021 on both sides of one end of the second bracket 202.
[0037] In specific implementation, when the user manually moves the second bracket 202 to adjust its pitch angle on the first bracket 201, the hinge shafts 2013 on both sides of one end of the first bracket 201 respectively rotate the connectors 2021 on both sides of one end of the second bracket 202, so that when the second bracket 202 rotates on the first bracket 201 to adjust the pitch angle, the second bracket 202 adjusts the pitch angle together with the camera 30. Through such a setting, the first bracket 201 and the second bracket 202 are effectively hinged, so that the second bracket 202 can be moved by the user on the first bracket 201 to drive the camera 30 to adjust the pitch angle.
[0038] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, a plurality of horizontal bars 301 are provided on the surface of the camera 30 .
[0039] In specific implementation, when the user pulls the camera 30 out of the housing 101 by hand from the opening slot 103 of the housing 101, the plurality of horizontal bars 301 on the surface of the camera 30 are used to generate friction with the user's hand. With such a configuration, the user can better exert force when pulling out the camera 30 by hand.
[0040] Please refer to Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, a plurality of heat dissipation holes 302 are provided on the surface of the camera 30 .
[0041] In specific implementation, when the camera 30 is running for a long time, a certain amount of heat will be generated inside the camera 30, and the heat inside the camera 30 will be dissipated through the heat dissipation holes 302 on the surface of the camera 30. Through such a setting, the heat dissipation efficiency of the camera 30 can be improved.
