Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of road monitoring, in particular to an adjustable camera installation structure. Background Art

[0002] The road monitoring system includes cameras, brackets, host computers, signal transmission systems, control devices, and display devices. The camera is used to capture road traffic images and is the core device of the monitoring system. The camera is usually installed on a specific bracket or pole to ensure that it can cover the area that needs to be monitored. The bracket or pole serves as the supporting structure of the camera to ensure that the camera can be stably fixed in the specified position. The selection and installation position of the bracket or pole are crucial to the monitoring effect.

[0003] In different scenarios, the types and sizes of cameras used are also different. For example, telephoto cameras usually have a longer focal length and can capture scenes at a longer distance. They are suitable for scenes that require long-distance monitoring or shooting. These cameras can clearly capture distant vehicles, pedestrians or other targets, providing strong support for traffic management and security monitoring. Short-focus / wide-angle cameras have a shorter focal length and can capture a wider range of images. They are suitable for monitoring larger areas. These cameras can provide a more comprehensive monitoring field of view and help reduce monitoring blind spots.

[0004] Some telephoto cameras are usually larger in size, so the size of the bracket is also correspondingly larger. Some poles usually need to be installed with both large and small cameras. In order to facilitate unified assembly and maintenance, people tend to have a unified bracket for the installation of these cameras, and it can adapt to cameras of different sizes.

[0025] In order to better understand the technical content of the present invention, specific embodiments are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0026] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the first aspect of the utility model proposes an adjustable camera mounting structure, including a first supporting structure 10, a second supporting structure 20 and an extension plate 30. The first supporting structure 10 can be installed on a clamp bracket, and the second supporting structure 20 is installed on the first supporting structure 10, and can adjust the relative angle relative to the first supporting structure 10 so that the camera mounted to the second supporting structure 20 is at a suitable angle.

[0027] In some scenarios, since the camera body is longer, the second support structure 20 cannot provide sufficient stability for the camera. Therefore, an extension plate 30 is added to one side of the second support structure 20 so that the length of the entire support surface meets the support requirements of the camera.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, the first support structure 10 includes a bottom plate 11 and support plates 12 extending upward along both sides of the bottom plate 11 . A support shaft 14 is provided on the support plate 12 . Arc holes 13 are also provided on both sides of the support shaft 14 .

[0029] like Figure 1As shown, the second support structure 20 includes a mounting plate 21 and an angle adjustment plate 22 extending downward along both sides of the mounting plate 21. A slot 27 is provided at the bottom of the angle adjustment plate 12. The first support structure 10 and the second support structure 20 are pre-connected by mutual insertion. Even if the support shaft 14 is inserted into the slot 27, at this time, the second support structure 20 can be rotatably connected relative to the first support structure 10 around the axis of the support shaft 14.

[0030] Furthermore, the angle adjustment plate 22 is provided with a positioning hole 24 corresponding to the position of the arc-shaped hole 13 , and the first support structure 10 and the second support structure 20 are fixed by threaded connectors connected to the arc-shaped hole 13 and the positioning hole 24 .

[0031] In this way, after the first support structure 10 and the second support structure 20 are pre-connected with each other, bolts are inserted into the positioning holes 24. When the bolts are tightened, the end caps of the nuts press the support plate 12 to fix the angle adjustment plate 22 and the support plate 12 to each other.

[0032] In an optional embodiment, the arc-shaped hole 13 is in an arc shape and is located on a circular track with the axis of the support shaft 14 as the center. In this way, before the bolt is tightened, when adjusting the angle of the second support structure 20, the screw rod of the bolt can slide in the arc-shaped hole 13 without interfering with the angle adjustment process of the second support structure 20. When the angle of the second support structure 20 is adjusted to a suitable position, the bolt can be tightened.

[0033] In an optional embodiment, the arc-shaped hole 13 includes a first arc-shaped hole and a second arc-shaped hole, and the first arc-shaped hole and the second arc-shaped hole are respectively located on the left and right sides of the support shaft 14 .

[0034] In this way, when the second supporting structure 20 tilts to the left, the second arc-shaped hole on the right cooperates with the positioning hole 24 to set the angle. When the second supporting structure 20 tilts to the right, the first arc-shaped hole on the left cooperates with the positioning hole 24 to set the angle. By setting the two arc-shaped holes, large angle adjustment can be achieved.

[0035] The support plate 12 is located outside the angle adjustment plate 22, and the inner wall surface of the support plate 12 is in contact with the outer wall surface of the angle adjustment plate 22. The structure formed in this way is stable and is conducive to angle adjustment.

[0036] Preferably, a nut 28 is provided on the inner wall of the angle adjustment plate 22 at positions corresponding to the fixing hole 23 and the positioning hole 24 , and the nut 28 is fixedly connected to the angle adjustment plate 22 .

[0037] Furthermore, before installing a large-sized camera, it is necessary to connect the extension plate 30 to the second support structure 20 , wherein the angle adjustment plate 22 is also provided with a fixing hole 23 , the extension plate 30 is connected to the fixing hole 23 , and the extension plate 30 extends along the length direction of the mounting plate 21 .

[0038] In this way, on the basis of the support surface formed by the mounting plate 21 , the extension plate 30 can increase the size of the support surface, so that a large-sized camera can be mounted more stably.

[0039] In an optional embodiment, if Figure 4 As shown, the extension plate 30 includes a plate body 31 and a support ear 32 . The support ear 32 is disposed on the outer side of the angle adjustment plate 22 . An adjustment hole 34 is provided on the support ear 32 . The adjustment hole 34 corresponds to the position of the fixing hole 23 .

[0040] In this way, when installing the extension plate 30, the support ear 32 is placed on the outside of the angle adjustment plate 22, so that the adjustment hole 34 is on the outside of the fixing hole 23, and bolts are used to pass through the adjustment hole 34 and the fixing hole 23 in sequence, so that the support ear 32 is pressed against the outside of the angle adjustment plate 22, thereby fixing the plate body 31 to one side of the mounting plate 21 and increasing the size of the supporting surface.

[0041] Further, the adjustment hole 34 is a waist-shaped hole, and the fixing hole 23 is a round hole. In this way, the spacing between the plate body 31 and the mounting plate 21 can be fine-tuned as needed, so that the support surface formed by the fine-tuning plate body 31 and the mounting plate 21 is more suitable for the size of the camera.

[0042] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the length of the mounting plate 21 is smaller than that of the angle adjustment plate 22 , steps 25 are formed at both ends of the angle adjustment plate 22 , and the lower end surface of the plate body 31 is in contact with the upper end surface of the step 25 .

[0043] In this way, when the plate body 31 is installed on one side of the mounting plate 21 , four supporting points are formed by the steps 25 and the bolts, so that the plate body 31 and the mounting plate 21 have a stronger load capacity.

[0044] In an optional embodiment, if the size of the camera is larger, an extension plate 30 may be further installed on the second side of the mounting plate 21 to form a large-sized supporting surface consisting of two plate bodies 31 and a mounting plate 21 .

[0045] like Figure 1 as well as Figure 4 As shown, the surface of the mounting plate 21 is provided with two pairs of waist-shaped first mounting holes 26, and the surface of the plate body 31 is provided with a pair of waist-shaped second mounting holes 33. The design of the waist-shaped holes can add more redundancy to the installation of the camera and reduce the difficulty of installation.

[0046] In combination with the above embodiments, the first supporting structure and the second supporting structure of the utility model are pre-connected in a plug-in manner and can adjust the angle by relative rotation. The first supporting structure and the second supporting structure are then fixed to each other using bolts to adjust the camera to a suitable angle. By adding one or two extension plates at both ends of the second supporting structure, the size of the camera supporting surface can be increased. The extension plate has a simple structure and can be flexibly adapted to the second supporting structure to accommodate cameras of different sizes.

[0047] Although the present invention has been disclosed as above with preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. A person with ordinary knowledge in the technical field to which the present invention belongs may make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention shall be determined by the definition of the claims.
