Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present utility model, the meaning of "plurality" is two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0040] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application belongs. The terms used in the specification of the template herein are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.

[0041] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, some embodiments of the utility model provide a camera, which is mainly used in airports, railway stations, shopping malls, banks, intersections, highways, schools and residential areas, etc., by placing the temperature and humidity sensor outside the camera to improve the accuracy and versatility of measurement.

[0042] The camera includes a housing 100 , a camera body 200 , a driving device 300 , a first control board 400 and a temperature and humidity sensor 500 .

[0043] It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, the shape of the camera body 200 is spherical, and the spherical design can reduce the reflection and scattering inside the lens 240 of the camera body 200, making the image clearer and sharper.

[0044] The housing 100 defines a receiving chamber 110 and an opening 120 communicating with the receiving chamber 110 . The opening 120 is disposed on one side of the housing 100 , so that the receiving chamber 110 communicates with the outside of the housing 100 through the opening 120 .

[0045] The camera body 200 is arranged in the accommodating cavity 110, and the camera body 200 is movably connected to the shell 100, that is, the camera body 200 can rotate in the accommodating cavity 110 to adjust the coverage area of ​​the camera lens 240. The lens 240 of the camera body 200 faces the opening 120 to ensure that the lens 240 can always face the opening 120 during the movement of the camera body 200 in the shell 100, thereby avoiding the situation where the shell 100 blocks the lens 240.

[0046] The lens 240 of the camera body 200 is at least partially disposed in the opening 120 , that is, the lens 240 can protrude from the opening 120 to increase the rotation angle of the lens 240 , thereby improving the coverage area of ​​the lens 240 .

[0047] In addition, the driving device 300 is disposed in the accommodating cavity 110 , and the output end of the driving device 300 is connected to the camera body 200 to drive the camera to rotate through the output end of the driving device 300 , thereby adjusting the coverage area of ​​the lens 240 of the camera body 200 .

[0048] In this embodiment, the first control board 400 is disposed between the housing 100 and the camera body 200, and the driving device 300 is connected to the first control board 400, so as to control the start or stop of the driving device 300 through the first control board 400. Specifically, the first control board 400 is connected to the inner wall of the housing 100 by bolts to improve the stability of the connection between the first control board 400 and the housing 100.

[0049] The first control board 400 is connected to a power module disposed in the accommodating cavity 110 so as to supply power to the first control board 400 , the driving device 300 and the camera body 200 through the power module.

[0050] It should be noted that the power module has a power port 130 .

[0051] Among them, the temperature and humidity sensor 500 has at least one data interface 510. It can be understood that the number of the data interface 510 can be one, two or more than two values, which can be specifically set according to actual conditions.

[0052] The temperature and humidity sensor 500 is connected to the power port 130 on the power module via the data interface 510 so as to power the temperature and humidity sensor via the power module, thereby enabling the temperature and humidity sensor 500 to monitor the humidity and temperature of the camera surrounding environment in real time.

[0053] It should be noted that the temperature and humidity sensor 500 is a sensor device equipped with humidity-sensitive and heat-sensitive elements and can be used to measure temperature and humidity. Some have on-site displays and some do not. The temperature and humidity sensor 500 has the characteristics of small size and stable performance.

[0054] The connection between the temperature and humidity sensor 500 and the power port 130 includes at least one of a snap connection, an adhesive connection, a magnetic connection, and a threaded connection, which can be specifically set according to actual conditions. It is understandable that the temperature and humidity sensor 500 and the power port 130 are detachably connected.

[0055] In this embodiment, the temperature and humidity sensor 500 is connected to the power port 130 by snap-fitting, which can not only improve the efficiency of installation or removal between the temperature and humidity sensor 500 and the power port 130, but also ensure the stability of the connection between the temperature and humidity sensor 500 and the power port 130.

[0056] In this embodiment, by arranging the temperature and humidity sensor 500 on the outside of the camera, the temperature and humidity sensor 500 can be exposed on the outside of the camera, thereby further improving the accuracy of the temperature and humidity sensor 500 in detecting the temperature and humidity of the surrounding environment; by detachably connecting the temperature and humidity sensor 500 to the camera, the flexibility and convenience of using the temperature and humidity sensor 500 are improved, so as to facilitate the installation, disassembly, maintenance, cleaning or replacement of the temperature and humidity sensor 500.

[0057] It should be noted that there is a gap between the camera body 200 and the edge of the opening 120 to ensure smoothness of the camera body 200 during rotation.

[0058] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the housing 100 includes an upper shell 140 and a bottom shell 150 , and the upper shell 140 is rotatably connected to the bottom shell 150 .

[0059] In this embodiment, the upper shell 140 and the bottom shell 150 are hollow hemispherical shells respectively.

[0060] A support member 600 is disposed between the bottom shell 150 and the upper shell 140 , so that the accommodating cavity 110 is separated into a first cavity 111 and a second cavity 112 by the support member 600 .

[0061] It should be noted that the first cavity 111 is communicated with the opening 120 .

[0062] In addition, the support member 600 is rotatably connected to the bottom shell 150, and the support member 600 is fixedly connected to the upper shell 140, so that during the relative rotation of the upper shell 140 and the bottom shell 150, the support member 600 is stationary relative to the upper shell 140, and the support member 600 rotates relative to the bottom shell 150.

[0063] It is understandable that the upper shell 140 and the bottom shell 150 are detachably connected to improve the installation or disassembly efficiency between the upper shell 140 and the bottom shell 150 .

[0064] like Figure 2 Paper Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the camera body 200 includes a lamp cover 210 , a lamp board 220 , a front shell 230 , the lens 240 and a second control board 250 .

[0065] It should be noted that the camera body 200 is disposed in the first accommodating cavity 110 , and the camera body 200 is rotatably connected to the supporting member 600 .

[0066] There is a gap between the front shell 230 and the upper cover to avoid friction between the camera body 200 and the inner wall of the upper cover during rotation, thereby ensuring the smoothness of the camera body 200 during rotation.

[0067] The front shell 230 is provided with a mounting hole 231 on one side facing the opening 120, and the lampshade 210 is disposed in the mounting hole 231 and connected to the hole wall of the mounting hole 231. Specifically, the front shell 230 is a spherical structure, so that during the rotation of the camera body 200, the distance between the outer wall of the front shell 230 and the inner wall of the upper cover is always kept consistent, so as to ensure the smoothness of the camera body 200 during the rotation.

[0068] In this embodiment, the connection method between the lampshade 210 and the hole wall of the mounting hole 231 includes any one of bonding, threaded connection, bolt connection, magnetic connection, and clamping, which can be specifically set according to actual conditions.

[0069] In addition, the lens 240 and the light board 220 are respectively connected to the second control board 250, the second control board 250 is connected to the power module, the light board 220 surrounds the lens 240, and the light board 220 is connected to the second control board 250 to control the opening or closing of the light board 220 through the second control board 250.

[0070] Exemplarily, in a dimly lit environment, the light panel 220 is turned on, thereby ensuring that the camera body 200 can effectively monitor the surrounding environment.

[0071] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the driving device 300 includes a first motor 310 and a second motor 320 .

[0072] The first motor 310 is disposed in the second cavity 112 , and the first output shaft 311 of the first motor 310 is connected to the support member 600 .

[0073] Specifically, the first motor 310 is arranged at the bottom of the bottom shell 150, and the axis of the first output shaft 311, the axis of the bottom shell 150 and the axis of the support member 600 coincide with each other, so that when the first output shaft 311 of the first motor 310 drives the support member 600 to rotate, the distance between the bottom shell 150 and the support member 600 remains unchanged, so as to ensure the smoothness of the rotation of the support member 600, thereby ensuring the smoothness of the rotation of the upper cover relative to the bottom cover.

[0074] In addition, the second motor 320 is arranged in the first cavity 111. Specifically, the second motor 320 is arranged in the front shell 230, and the body of the second motor 320 is connected to the front shell 230. The second output shaft 321 of the second motor 320 is passed through the front shell 230 and is fixedly connected to the support member 600, so that when the second motor 320 is running, the second motor 320 drives the front shell 230 to rotate along the axis of the second output shaft 321, thereby driving the camera body 200 to rotate along the axis of the second output shaft 321.

[0075] It should be noted that the axis of the second output shaft 321 passes through the center point of the front shell 230 to ensure that when the front shell 230 rotates driven by the second motor 320, the distance between the front shell 230 and the upper shell 140 remains unchanged, and the distance between the front shell 230 and the support member 600 remains unchanged, thereby ensuring the stability and smoothness of the camera body 200 during rotation.

[0076] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the opening 120 is disposed on one side of the upper shell 140 along the first direction.

[0077] In this embodiment, the first direction, the axis of the first output shaft 311 and the axis of the second output shaft 321 are orthogonal to each other.

[0078] In some embodiments of the present invention, the type of the data interface 510 is one of a USB interface, a Type-C interface, a micro interface, and a lightning interface.

[0079] In some embodiments of the present invention, there are multiple data interfaces 510 , the multiple data interfaces 510 are arranged at intervals, and the types of the multiple data interfaces 510 are different.

[0080] Exemplarily, the temperature and humidity sensor 500 has two data interfaces 510 , one of which is a Type-C interface, and the other is a USB interface.

[0081] Exemplarily, the temperature and humidity sensor 500 has three data interfaces 510 , wherein the first data interface 510 is a Type-C interface, the second data interface 510 is a lightning interface, and the third data interface 510 is a USB interface.

[0082] It is understandable that by increasing the number of data interfaces 510 , the temperature and humidity sensor 500 can be adapted to the power ports 130 of cameras of different models.

[0083] In some embodiments of the present invention, the first control board 400 is an infrared remote control circuit board, so that the camera has a full range of infrared control functions, so that the camera can monitor at night or in low light conditions, thereby improving the monitoring effect. In addition, human body detection can also be performed to achieve intelligent alarm.

[0084] In all examples shown and described herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limiting, and thus other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0085] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters denote similar items in the following drawings, and therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, further definition and explanation thereof is not required in subsequent drawings.

[0086] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present invention, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, which all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
