Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the technical field of camera device design, and particularly relates to a camera device. Background Art

[0002] Camera devices are widely used in various places. To expand the shooting range of a camera device, the camera in the camera device is generally rotatably mounted on the mounting base of the camera device, and the user can manually rotate the camera to adjust the camera to a suitable shooting angle.

[0003] The camera device related to the related art rotates the camera and the mounting base by providing an axis on the camera and a hole on the mounting base, and the camera and the mounting base are rotationally connected through the cooperation of the hole and the axis. By setting the local interference between the hole and the axis, the camera can be maintained at different shooting angles through the friction between the hole and the axis. However, due to tolerances in the manufacturing process, the cooperation between the hole and the axis may be too tight to rotate the camera, or the cooperation between the hole and the axis may be too loose to maintain the camera at the adjusted shooting angle, resulting in a poor user experience. How to improve the user experience when adjusting the camera is a technical problem that those skilled in the art urgently need to solve. Summary of the Utility Model

The plurality of positioning grooves are distributed along the circumferential direction around the rotation axis of the camera. As the camera rotates, the first protrusion slides into one of the plurality of positioning grooves and is in positioning cooperation with the corresponding positioning groove to adjust and maintain the camera at the corresponding shooting angle.

[0008] The technical solution adopted by the utility model can achieve the following technical effects:

[0009] The imaging device disclosed in the embodiments of the present application improves the structure of the imaging device in the related art. By setting one of the camera and the mounting base to include a first protrusion, and the other to be provided with a plurality of positioning grooves, and arranging the plurality of positioning grooves to be distributed along the circumferential direction around the rotation axis of the camera, as the camera rotates, the first protrusion can slide into one of the plurality of positioning grooves and can be in positioning cooperation with the corresponding positioning groove, so as to adjust the camera to maintain at the corresponding shooting angle, that is, the camera can be adjusted by the first protrusion respectively in positioning cooperation with different positioning grooves to maintain the camera at different shooting angles respectively.

[0024] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7 , this application embodiment discloses a camera device, and the disclosed camera device includes a camera 100 and a mounting base 200.

[0025] The mounting base 200 is a basic component of the camera device. The mounting base 200 is used to provide a mounting foundation for other components of the camera device. Among them, the camera 100 is rotatably provided on the mounting base 200. In addition, the mounting base 200 can also be used to form some functional spaces or structures, such as the first protrusion 110, positioning groove 210, elastic arm 120, second protrusion 160, slot 220, etc. described later.

[0026] The camera 100 is the core component that realizes the shooting function in the imaging device. One of the camera 100 and the mounting base 200 has a first protrusion 110, and the other is provided with a plurality of positioning grooves 210. The plurality of positioning grooves 210 are distributed along the circumferential direction around the rotation axis of the camera 100. Thus, as the camera 100 rotates, the first protrusion 110 slides into one of the plurality of positioning grooves 210 and is in positioning cooperation with the corresponding positioning groove 210 to adjust the camera 100 to maintain at the corresponding shooting angle.

[0027] That is to say, in one embodiment, the camera 100 may have a first protrusion 110. Correspondingly, the mounting base 200 may be provided with a plurality of positioning grooves 210. The plurality of positioning grooves 210 may be distributed along the circumferential direction around the rotation axis of the camera 100 on the mounting base 200. In another embodiment, the mounting base 200 may have a first protrusion 110. Correspondingly, the camera 100 may have a plurality of positioning grooves 210. The plurality of positioning grooves 210 may be distributed along the circumferential direction around the rotation axis of the camera 100 on the camera 100.

[0028] In the specific working process, since the positions of each positioning groove 210 are different, it is possible to adjust the camera 100 by respectively positioning and cooperating the first protrusion 110 with different positioning grooves 210, and further maintain the camera 100 at different shooting angles.

[0029] In the embodiment of the present application, as Figure 5 shown, in one embodiment, the plurality of positioning grooves 210 may be distributed along the circumferential direction around the rotation axis of the camera 100, and two adjacent positioning grooves 210 may be connected, so that the first protrusion 110 can slide between the adjacent positioning grooves 210 more easily.

[0030] Of course, a communication groove may be provided between two adjacent positioning grooves 210 so that two adjacent positioning grooves 210 can be connected through the communication groove. The depth of the communication groove may be small and less than the depth of the positioning groove 210, so that when adjusting the shooting angle of the camera 100, the first protrusion 110 can slide out of the positioning groove 210 more easily through the communication groove, thus facilitating the sliding of the first protrusion 110 between the plurality of positioning grooves 210.

[0031] In addition, if the depth of the communication groove is large and greater than the depth of the positioning groove 210, it is easy for the first protrusion 110 to slide into the communication groove from the positioning groove without external force, thus easily affecting the positioning cooperation between the first protrusion 110 and the positioning groove 210. Therefore, this structure can facilitate the sliding of the first protrusion 110 between the plurality of positioning grooves 210 while avoiding affecting the stability of the positioning cooperation between the first protrusion 110 and the positioning groove 210.

[0032] In other embodiments, the plurality of positioning grooves 210 may also be distributed at intervals and uniformly along the circumferential direction around the rotation axis of the camera 100, and two adjacent positioning grooves 210 may not be connected, which is beneficial to reducing the risk that the first protrusion 110 easily slides out of the positioning groove 210 without external force, and easily affecting the positioning cooperation between the first protrusion 110 and the positioning groove 210, and is beneficial to improving the stability of the positioning cooperation between the first protrusion 110 and the positioning groove 210, and further can relatively stably maintain the shooting angle of the camera 100.

[0033] Further, the plurality of positioning grooves 210 may be uniformly distributed along the circumferential direction around the rotation axis of the camera 100, so that the distance between two adjacent positioning grooves 210 is the same, so that the angle by which the camera 100 rotates when the first protrusion 110 slides between every two adjacent positioning grooves 210 is the same, so that the user can regularly adjust the shooting angle of the camera 100.

[0034] The imaging device disclosed in the embodiments of the present application improves the structure of the imaging device related to the related art. By setting that one of the camera 100 and the mounting base 200 includes a first protrusion 110, the other is provided with a plurality of positioning grooves 210, and setting the plurality of positioning grooves 210 to be distributed along the circumferential direction around the rotation axis of the camera 100, so that as the camera 100 rotates, the first protrusion 110 can slide into one of the plurality of positioning grooves 210 and can be in positioning cooperation with the corresponding positioning groove 210, thereby adjusting the camera 100 to maintain at the corresponding shooting angle, that is, the camera 100 can be adjusted by the first protrusion 110 respectively being in positioning cooperation with different positioning grooves 210, so as to be able to respectively maintain the camera 100 at different shooting angles. In such a structure, since the structure of each positioning groove 210 is the same, this enables the first protrusion 110 to be stably in positioning cooperation with each positioning groove 210, thereby being able to relatively stably adjust the camera 100 and maintain the camera 100 at the corresponding shooting angle, and further is beneficial to improving the user experience, so that the user can have a relatively good feel when adjusting the shooting angle of the camera 100.

[0035] In a feasible technical solution, the first protrusion 110 can be in elastic contact with the camera 100 or the mounting base 200. As the camera 100 rotates, the first protrusion 110 can elastically slide into one of the plurality of positioning grooves 210 and can be elastically positioned in the corresponding positioning groove 210, so that the first protrusion 110 can slide between the plurality of positioning grooves 210 more easily to facilitate adjusting the shooting angle of the camera 100. In addition, when the first protrusion 110 slides between the plurality of positioning grooves 210, vibration is likely to occur. The elastic contact between the first protrusion 110 and the camera 100 or the mounting base 200 is beneficial to reducing the transmission of vibration, thereby avoiding affecting the stability of adjusting the shooting angle of the camera 100.

[0036] As Figure 4 shown, in a further technical solution, one of the camera 100 and the mounting base 200 may further include an elastic arm 120, and the first protrusion 110 may be provided on the elastic arm 120. That is to say, the camera 100 may further include an elastic arm 120. Correspondingly, the plurality of positioning grooves 210 may be provided on the mounting base 200, or the mounting base 200 may further include an elastic arm 120. Correspondingly, the plurality of positioning grooves 210 may be provided on the camera 100, so that the first protrusion 110 can be in elastic contact with the other of the camera 100 and the mounting base 200. This structure is relatively simple and easy to implement, and the space occupied by the elastic arm 120 is small, which is beneficial to the compact design.

[0037] In addition, elastic arms 120 of different lengths have different elasticities, which enables elastic arms 120 of different lengths to apply different elastic forces to the first protrusion 110, so that the first protrusion 110 can have different resistances when sliding between the plurality of positioning grooves 210, so that the user can have different hand feelings when adjusting the shooting angle of the camera 100. In a specific application, the length of the elastic arm 120 can be designed according to actual needs.

[0038] Optionally, the elastic arm 120 can be a cantilever, that is, one end of the elastic arm 120 can be fixed to the camera 100 or the mounting base 200, and the other end can be suspended, so that the elasticity of the elastic arm 120 is better.

[0039] Of course, in other embodiments, the first protrusion 110 can be an elastic protrusion, so that the first protrusion 110 can be in elastic contact with the camera 100 or the mounting base 200, and as the camera 100 rotates, the first protrusion 110 can elastically slide into one of the plurality of positioning grooves 210 and can be elastically positioned in the corresponding positioning groove 210.

[0040] In an alternative technical solution, as Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, one of the camera 100 and the mounting base 200 may further include a second protrusion 160, and the other may further include a slot 220. That is to say, the camera 100 may further include the second protrusion 160, and the mounting base 200 may further include the slot 220. Alternatively, the camera 100 may further include the slot 220, and the mounting base 200 may further include the second protrusion 160.

[0041] The slot 220 may extend along the circumferential direction around the rotation axis. In this case, the slot 220 may be an arc-shaped hole. The second protrusion 160 and the slot 220 may be slidably engaged and may be used for limiting engagement with the ends of the slot 220 respectively, so that the second protrusion 160 can slide in the slot 220 when the camera rotates, and the rotation angle of the camera 100 can be limited by the limiting engagement between the second protrusion 160 and the ends of the slot 220.

[0042] In this structure, when the camera 100 rotates counterclockwise around the rotation axis, as the rotation angle of the camera 100 increases, the second protrusion 160 can contact one end of the slot 220, thereby preventing the camera 100 from rotating excessively counterclockwise around the rotation axis; when the camera 100 rotates clockwise around the rotation axis, as the rotation angle of the camera 100 increases, the second protrusion 160 can contact the other end of the slot 220, thereby preventing the camera 100 from rotating excessively clockwise around the rotation axis, so as to achieve the purpose of limiting the rotation angle of the camera 100, and thus the range of the adjustable shooting angle of the camera 100 can be limited, so that the camera 100 can adjust the shooting angle within a suitable range. Of course, the slot 220 may also be an oval hole or a rectangular hole, and the specific shape of the slot 220 is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0043] In the embodiments of the present application, the mounting base 200 may include a mounting base body 230 and a connecting frame 240. The mounting base body 230 may include a mounting hole 231. One of the camera 100 and the connecting frame 240 may include a first protrusion 110 and a second protrusion 160, and the other may be provided with a plurality of positioning grooves 210 and a slot 220. The connecting frame 240 may be fixed in the mounting hole 231. The camera 100 may be elastically mounted in the connecting frame 240 and may be rotatably connected to the connecting frame 240, that is, the camera 100 is fixedly connected to the mounting base body 230 through the connecting frame 240. The connecting frame 240 may be an elastic connecting frame to facilitate the installation of the camera 100 in the connecting frame 240.

[0044] In addition, since the camera 100 or the connecting bracket 240 has the first protrusion 110 and the second protrusion 160, interference is likely to occur when the camera 100 is installed in the connecting bracket 240. However, the elastic connecting bracket is elastic, so that when the camera 100 is installed in the elastic connecting bracket, the elastic connecting bracket can undergo elastic deformation to avoid interference between the camera 100 and the elastic connecting bracket and affect the installation of the camera 100, facilitating the installation of the camera 100.

[0045] In the specific installation process, the camera 100 can be first installed in the elastic mounting bracket, and then the elastic mounting bracket connected with the camera 100 can be installed in the mounting hole 231 to fixedly connect the elastic mounting bracket connected with the camera 100 to the mounting seat body 230, so that the connection between the camera 100 and the mounting seat body 230 can be more conveniently realized through the elastic connecting bracket 240.

[0046] Of course, further, as Figure 5 shown, the connecting bracket 240 can be a U-shaped bracket. One of the camera 100 and the U-shaped bracket can include the first protrusion 110 and the second protrusion 160, and the other can be provided with a plurality of positioning grooves 210 and strip holes 220. The camera 100 can be rotatably arranged in the U-shaped bracket, and the U-shaped bracket has an opening, so that it can undergo elastic deformation, enabling the camera 100 to be elastically installed in the U-shaped bracket. Thus, when the camera 100 is installed in the U-shaped bracket, the U-shaped bracket can undergo elastic deformation to avoid interference between the camera 100 and the U-shaped bracket and affect the installation of the camera 100. In addition, the camera 100 can be installed in the U-shaped bracket through the opening, making the installation of the camera 100 more convenient.

[0047] In the specific installation process, the camera 100 can be first installed in the U-shaped bracket, and then the U-shaped bracket connected with the camera 100 can be installed in the mounting hole 231 to fixedly connect the U-shaped bracket connected with the camera 100 to the mounting seat body 230, so that the connection between the camera 100 and the mounting seat body 230 can be more conveniently realized through the U-shaped bracket.

[0048] In one embodiment, when the mounting seat 200 includes the elastic arm 120, the elastic arm 120 and the connecting bracket 240 can be an integral structure. Of course, the elastic arm 120 and the connecting bracket 240 can also be a split structure, and the elastic arm 120 can be fixed on the connecting bracket 240.

[0049] To improve the installation stability of the U-shaped bracket, both side walls of the U-shaped bracket have buckles 241, and each buckle 241 can be buckled at the edge of the mounting hole 231, facilitating the positioning of the U-shaped bracket in the mounting hole 231 and preventing the U-shaped bracket from falling off the mounting hole 231, which is beneficial to improving the installation stability of the U-shaped bracket.

[0050] Please continue to refer to Figure 5 , in order to further improve the reliability of the U-shaped frame installation, the imaging device may further include a first connecting member, a second connecting member, and a third connecting member. The U-shaped frame may be provided with a first connecting hole 242, a second connecting hole 243, and a third connecting hole 244. The first connecting hole 242 and the second connecting hole 243 may be respectively provided on two side walls of the U-shaped frame, and the third connecting hole 244 may be provided on the bottom wall of the U-shaped frame. The first connecting member, the second connecting member, and the third connecting member may respectively pass through the first connecting hole 242, the second connecting hole 243, and the third connecting hole 244 and be connected to the hole wall of the mounting hole 231, so that the U-shaped frame can be more reliably fixed to the mounting hole 231. Specifically, the first connecting member, the second connecting member, and the third connecting member may all be screws or bolts, so that the U-shaped frame can be further fixed to the mounting hole 231 by means of threaded connection.

[0051] Of course, the first connecting hole and the second connecting hole may be respectively provided at the ends of the two side walls of the U-shaped frame that are away from the bottom wall of the U-shaped frame, so as to reduce the risk that the ends of the two side walls of the U-shaped frame that are away from the bottom wall of the U-shaped frame are prone to shaking, resulting in the loosening of the connection between the U-shaped frame and the mounting hole 231.

[0052] In a more preferred technical solution, the camera 100 may further include a housing 130, a first protrusion 110, and a second protrusion 160. Both ends of the housing 130 distributed along the extension direction of the rotation axis may be provided with the first protrusion 110 and the second protrusion 160. Both ends of the housing 130 distributed along the extension direction of the rotation axis may be respectively rotatably connected to the two side walls of the U-shaped frame. The two side walls of the U-shaped frame may both be provided with a plurality of positioning grooves 210 and strip-shaped holes 220.

[0053] This structure enables that when adjusting the camera 100, the first protrusions 110 provided at both ends of the housing 130 distributed along the extension direction of the rotation axis can respectively slide into one of the plurality of positioning grooves 210 provided on the two side walls of the U-shaped frame as the camera 100 rotates, and be in positioning cooperation with the corresponding positioning grooves 210 respectively, so that the camera 100 can be adjusted more stably and maintained at the corresponding shooting angle. At the same time, the second protrusions 160 provided at both ends of the housing 130 distributed along the extension direction of the rotation axis can respectively slide in cooperation with the strip-shaped holes 220 provided on the two side walls of the U-shaped frame as the camera 100 rotates, and the second protrusions 160 provided at both ends of the housing 130 distributed along the extension direction of the rotation axis can respectively be in limit cooperation with the ends of the strip-shaped holes 220 provided on the two side walls of the U-shaped frame, so that the range of the adjustable shooting angle of the camera 100 can be limited more stably.

[0054] In addition, this structure can avoid opening the positioning groove 210 and the strip-shaped hole 220 on the housing 130, thereby reducing the impact on the overall strength of the housing 130 and being beneficial to improving the reliability of the housing 130.

[0055] When the camera 100 includes the elastic arm 120, the elastic arm 120 and the housing 130 can be an integral structure. Of course, the elastic arm 120 and the housing 130 can also be a split structure, and the elastic arm 120 can be fixed on the housing 130.

[0056] As Figure 6 shown, in an alternative embodiment, the camera 100 may further include a housing 130 and a lens assembly 140. The lens assembly 140 can be fixed to the housing 130, and the first protrusion 110 or a plurality of positioning grooves 210 can be provided on the housing 130. That is to say, the first protrusion 11 can be provided on the housing 130. Correspondingly, a plurality of positioning grooves 210 can be provided on the mounting base 200. Alternatively, a plurality of positioning grooves 210 can also be provided on the housing 130. Correspondingly, the mounting base 200 can have the first protrusion 110. In this structure, the camera 100 realizes the shooting function through the lens assembly 140. The housing 130 can provide an installation foundation for the lens assembly 140 and can protect the lens assembly 140.

[0057] In a further technical solution, the camera 100 may further include a light-transmitting cover 170 and a circuit board 180. The lens assembly 140 may include a lens 141, a lens holder 142, and a filter 143. The circuit board 180 can be fixedly connected to the housing 130, and the two can enclose a first accommodation space. The lens 141, the lens holder 142, and the filter 143 are all located in the first accommodation space. The lens holder 142 can be fixed to the circuit board 180. The lens 141 can be fixed to the side of the lens holder 142 opposite to the circuit board 180. The filter 143 can be at least partially disposed in the lens holder 142 and can be opposite to the lens 141. The housing 130 can have a light-transmitting hole 131, and the light-transmitting hole 131 can be opposite to the lens 141 so that the light of the external environment can enter the lens 141. The light-transmitting cover 170 can be covered on the side of the housing 130 opposite to the circuit board 180 to cover the lens 141, thereby facilitating filling light for the lens 141 when the light is weak.

[0058] Specifically, a fill light can be provided between the housing 130 and the light-transmitting cover 170, so that the lens 141 can be filled with light by the fill light when the light is weak. Among them, the light emitted by the fill light can pass through the light-transmitting cover 170, thereby projecting onto the object to be photographed, and further being able to fill light for the lens 141.

[0059] Of course, the light-transmitting cover 170 may have an avoidance hole 171 to avoid the light-transmitting hole 131, so as to prevent the light-transmitting cover 170 from blocking the light-transmitting hole 131. Thus, when the camera 100 takes pictures, the light of the external environment can directly enter the lens 141 through the light-transmitting hole 131, facilitating the lens 141 to collect light.

[0060] Furthermore, the camera 100 may further include a photosensitive element. The photosensitive element may be fixed on the circuit board 180 and electrically connected to the circuit board 180. The lens holder 142 and the circuit board 180 may enclose a second accommodation space. In this case, the filter 143 may be at least partially located in the second accommodation space, the photosensitive element may be located in the second accommodation space, and may be located between the filter 143 and the circuit board 180. The photosensitive element may be opposite to the lens 141, and the filter 143 is also opposite to the lens 141, such that the light of the external environment can pass through the filter 143 and be projected onto the photosensitive element after entering the lens 141.

[0061] As Figure 3 shown, the imaging device may further include a fourth connecting member 310 and a fifth connecting member 320. The circuit board 180 may include a fourth connection hole and a fifth connection hole. The fourth connection hole and the fifth connection hole may be diagonally distributed on the circuit board 180. The fourth connecting member 310 and the fifth connecting member 320 may respectively pass through the fourth connection hole and the fifth connection hole and be connected to the housing 130 to fix the circuit board 180 to the housing 130. This structure is relatively simple and can achieve the fixed connection between the circuit board 180 and the housing 130 with fewer parts, thus helping to reduce costs. Specifically, both the fourth connecting member 310 and the fifth connecting member 320 may be screws or bolts, so that the circuit board 180 can be fixed to the housing 130 by means of threaded connection. Of course, the circuit board 180 may also be fixed to the housing 130 by means of glue bonding.

[0062] In one embodiment, as Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, one of the camera 100 and the mounting base 200 may further include a connecting shaft 150, and the other may further include a sixth connection hole 250. That is, the camera 100 may further include the connecting shaft 150.
