The first electrical connector 11 on the camera 1 is a key component inside the camera 1 for establishing electrical connection with the outside world, and it is correspondingly connected to the second electrical connector 21 arranged on the docking seat 2 and connected to the seat body 23. The first docking member 12 is arranged adjacent to the first electrical connector 11 for alignment connection with the second docking member 22 on the docking seat 2 to ensure a firm physical connection between the camera 1 and the docking seat 2. When the first electrical connector 11 is electrically connected to the second electrical connector 21, an electrical connection is established between the camera 1 and the docking seat 2, enabling the camera 1 to operate normally and transmit data. At the same time, the first docking member 12 is in alignment connection with the second docking member 22 to ensure a firm and reliable physical connection between the camera 1 and the docking seat 2, avoiding loosening or falling off during use.

[0032] The design of this external camera 1 mounting structure makes the connection between the camera 1 and the device more convenient and firm, while ensuring the stability and reliability of data transmission. In practical applications, the specific structures and parameters of the first electrical connector 11, the first docking member 12, the second electrical connector 21 and the second docking member 22 can be adjusted according to specific requirements to meet the needs of different devices and application scenarios.

[0033] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 2 to 5 , the second docking member 22 and the second electrical connector 21 are arranged on the same surface of the seat body 23. By arranging the second docking member 22 and the second electrical connector together on a single plane of the seat body 23, no components are arranged on the opposite back surface, which does not occupy thickness space. Compared with other arrangement schemes, the structural layout is simplified, the overall thickness of the external camera 1 mounting structure is reduced, and the efficiency of assembling and installing the camera 1 is improved.

[0034] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 2 to 5, the first docking member 12 includes a first pin 121 and a second pin 121, the second docking member 22 includes a first socket 221 detachably plugged with the first pin 121 and a second socket 222 detachably plugged with the second pin 121, and the first socket 221 and the second socket 222 are arranged on both sides of the second electrical connector 21. When the first electrical connector 11 and the second electrical connector 21 are electrically connected, the first pin 121 and the second pin 121 on the first docking member 12 are respectively inserted into the first socket 221 and the second socket 222 of the second docking member 22 to achieve detachable alignment connection. The first socket 221 and the second socket 222 are arranged on both sides of the second electrical connector 21, and this layout helps to keep the structure of the docking seat 2 compact, while further improving the stability and reliability of the plug-in connection.

[0035] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 4 , the first socket 221 and the second socket 222 are elastic sheet metal parts, and after the first pin 121 and the second pin 121 are plugged with the first socket 221 and the second socket 222, they are clamped by the first socket 221 and the second socket 222. In the mounting structure of the external camera 1, the first socket 221 and the second socket 222 are made of elastic sheet metal parts, and they can provide sufficient elasticity to adapt to the insertion of the docking member. Specifically, the elastic sheet metal part of this embodiment can be in the structure of a hollow cylinder, and the cylinder structure itself has elasticity and can expand elastically to increase its diameter, or contract elastically to decrease its diameter. When the docking member is inserted, the cylinder structure can be expanded, and the contraction elastic force of the cylinder structure is used to clamp the docking member. It should be noted that there are various structures of the elastic sheet metal part, for example, a damping hollow column, a coil spring structure, a variable-diameter elastic column, etc., which are not limited herein. Thus, after the first pin 121 and the second pin 121 are inserted into the first socket 221 and the second socket 222, due to the clamping action of the elastic sheet metal part, the first pin 121 and the second pin 121 are firmly fixed therein, thereby enhancing the stability and reliability of the docking. At the same time, this design not only improves the installation accuracy.

[0036] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 4 , notches extending along the plugging direction of the first socket 221 and the second socket 222 are arranged on the outer walls of the first socket 221 and the second socket 222. Notches extending along the inserted direction are arranged on the outer walls of the first socket 221 and the second socket 222. By making the first socket 221 not a columnar structure with a closed circumferential surface and having an open notch, the first socket 221 and the second socket 222 will not be difficult to pull out due to excessive friction caused by structural deformation after being docked and clamped with the first pin 121 and the second pin 121, and at the same time, the stress on the first socket 221 and the second socket 222 can be released, making them durable.

[0037] In one embodiment, the mounting structure of the external camera 1 of the present utility model further includes a main board (not shown in the figure), the main board is arranged on the device using the external camera 1, the docking seat 2 further includes an electrical connection terminal 24, the electrical connection terminal 24 is arranged on the seat body 23, and the main board is connected to the electrical connection terminal 24.

[0038] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 3 , fixing holes are arranged on the left and right sides of the seat body 23, and the fixing holes and the main board are fixed by connecting pieces. By opening a first fixing block and a second fixing hole 26 on the left and right sides of the seat body 23 and using connecting pieces to pass through and fix the seat body 23 to the main board, the connection strength between the mounting structure of the external camera 1 of the present utility model and the main board is further enhanced, making the device more durable.

[0039] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 5 , the camera 1 includes a rotating seat 13 and a photographing device 14, the photographing device 14 is rotatably connected to the rotating seat 13, and the first electrical connecting piece 11 and the first docking piece 12 are arranged on the rotating seat 13.
