[0052] Refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in

[0053] Refer to Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the bearing mechanism 100 includes a bearing seat 110 and a rotating assembly 120. The camera 20 can be fixed to the rotating assembly 120 by bolts 401. The rotating assembly 120 is rotatably connected to the bearing seat 110, so that the rotating assembly 120 can rotate relative to the bearing seat 110 about a rotating shaft extending in a first direction, and the first direction can be understood as the vertical direction. Obviously, when the rotating assembly 120 rotates, the rotating assembly 120 will drive the camera 20 to rotate synchronously relative to the bearing seat 110. The bearing seat 110 is rotatably connected to the connecting mechanism 300, so that the bearing seat 110 can rotate relative to the connecting mechanism 300 about a rotating shaft extending in a second direction, and the second direction can be understood as the horizontal direction perpendicular to the first direction. When the bearing seat 110 rotates relative to the connecting mechanism 300, both the camera 20 and the rotating assembly 120 will follow the bearing seat 110 to rotate synchronously relative to the connecting mechanism 300.

[0054] Refer to Figure 3, Figure 4 and Figure 5 , in some embodiments, a receiving cavity 1111 is formed in the carrier base 110, and the rotating assembly 120 is rotatably engaged with the receiving cavity 1111. Therefore, the receiving cavity 1111 can play a good positioning role in the rotation of the rotating assembly 120, reduce the vibration generated during the rotation of the rotating assembly 120, improve the stability of the rotation process of the rotating assembly 120, and then improve the rotation accuracy of the rotating assembly 120.

[0055] Referring to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the carrier base 110 may include a carrier portion 111 and a protruding portion 112. The carrier portion 111 defines the receiving cavity 1111, and the protruding portion 112 protrudes from the inner wall surface of the receiving cavity 1111. The protruding portion 112 can divide the receiving cavity 1111 into a first receiving cavity 1111a and a second receiving cavity 1111b. The rotating assembly 120 includes a first rotating member 121 and a second rotating member 122. The first rotating member 121 is rotatably disposed in the first receiving cavity 1111a and abuts against the protruding portion 112. The camera 20 is fixed to the first rotating member 121. The camera 20 can be fixed to the first rotating member 121 in a detachable connection manner. For example, the camera 20 can be fixedly connected to the first rotating member 121 by a bolt connection. The second rotating member 122 is rotatably disposed in the second receiving cavity 1111b and abuts against the protruding portion 112. In this way, the protruding portion 112 abuts between the first rotating member 121 and the second rotating member 122, and the first rotating member 121 and the second rotating member 122 can rotate synchronously. By abutting the protruding portion 112 between the first rotating member 121 and the second rotating member 122, the protruding portion 112 can play a good limiting role in the entire rotating assembly 120 in the thickness direction of the protruding portion 112, preventing the vibration of the entire rotating assembly 120 in the thickness direction of the protruding portion 112, thereby improving the rotation accuracy of the rotating assembly 120.

[0056] Referring to Figure 5, in some embodiments, the rotating assembly 120 further includes a fastener 123. A through hole 1121 is formed in the protruding portion 112. The through hole 1121 penetrates the entire protruding portion 112 along the thickness direction of the protruding portion 112, so that the through hole 1121 communicates the first accommodating cavity 1111a and the second accommodating cavity 1111b. The fastener 123 is disposed in the through hole 1121, so that the fastener 123 fixedly connects the first rotating member 121 and the second rotating member 122. The fastener 123 may be one or more. When there are multiple fasteners 123, the multiple fasteners 123 are simultaneously disposed in the through hole 1121, so as to prevent the fastener 123 from interfering with the rotation of the rotating assembly 120 relative to the bearing seat 110, and ensure that the rotating assembly 120 rotates smoothly relative to the bearing seat 110. Through the action of the fastener 123, the first rotating member 121 and the second rotating member 122 can rotate synchronously relative to the bearing seat 110 as a whole.

[0057] In other embodiments, the through hole 1121 may not be provided on the protruding portion 112, and the fastener 123 may be cancelled, so that a magnetic attraction force can be generated between the first rotating member 121 and the second rotating member 122, so that the protruding portion 112 abuts between the first rotating member 121 and the second rotating member 122, and the first rotating member 121 and the second rotating member 122 can also rotate synchronously relative to the bearing seat 110.

[0058] In some embodiments, the fastener 123 may be a fastening bolt. The screw of the fastening bolt is disposed in the second rotating member 122 and is threadedly connected to the first rotating member 121. The nut of the fastening bolt abuts against the second rotating member 122, so as to realize the fixed connection relationship between the first rotating member 121 and the second rotating member 122. By rotating the fastening bolt, the pre-tightening force of the fastening bolt can be adjusted, so as to adjust the abutting force and frictional resistance between the first rotating member 121 and the second rotating member 122 and the protruding portion 112, so as to adjust the damping force during the rotation of the entire rotating assembly 120 relative to the bearing seat 110.

[0059] Refer to Figure 3, in some embodiments, the carrier mechanism 100 further includes a limit post 140. The number of the limit posts 140 can be one or more. The limit post 140 can protrude from the first rotating member 121 and is used for being inserted into the limit hole of the camera 20. The outer circumferential surface of the limit post 140 includes an arc surface 141 and a flat surface 142, and the flat surface 142 is connected to both ends of the arc surface 141. The shape of the limit post 140 matches the shape of the limit hole of the camera 20, so that the limit post 140 can cooperate with the limit hole. By inserting the limit post 140 into the camera 20, on the one hand, it can play a role in limiting the installation of the camera 20 on the entire carrier mechanism 100 and improve the installation accuracy of the camera 20. On the other hand, through the arrangement of the arc surface 141 and the flat surface 142, it can prevent the camera 20 from rotating relative to the rotating shaft extending in the first direction of the rotating assembly 120, ensuring that both the camera 20 and the rotating assembly 120 rotate relative to the carrier seat 110 synchronously around the rotating shaft extending in the first direction. On the still other hand, through the arrangement of the arc surface 141 and the flat surface 142, it can ensure that the camera 20 can only cooperate with the limit post 140 in a specific installation orientation. If the installation orientation of the camera 20 changes, the limit post 140 cannot be inserted into the limit hole of the camera 20, and thus the installation of the camera 20 cannot be achieved. Therefore, the limit post 140 can play an "anti-mistake" role and improve the installation accuracy of the camera 20.

[0060] In other embodiments, for example, the positions of the limit hole and the limit post 140 can be swapped, that is, the limit post 140 is arranged on the camera 20, and the limit hole is arranged on the first rotating member 121. The inner wall surface of the limit hole includes an arc surface 141 and a flat surface 142, and the flat surface 142 is connected to both ends of the arc surface 141. Through the cooperation of the limit hole and the limit post 140, it can also play an "anti-mistake" role and ensure the synchronous movement of both the camera 20 and the rotating assembly 120. For another example, the first rotating member 121 can be provided with both a limit hole and a limit post 140, and the camera 20 can also be provided with a limit hole and a limit post 140 accordingly.

[0061] Refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6, in some embodiments, the connecting mechanism 300 includes a first ear 311, a second ear 312, and a first fixed shaft 321. The first ear 311 and the second ear 312 are spaced apart along the second direction. A clearance space 313 is formed between the first ear 311 and the second ear 312. The first fixed shaft 321 is disposed in the clearance space 313. The axis of the first fixed shaft 321 extends along the second direction. The first fixed shaft 321 fixedly connects the first ear 311 and the second ear 312. The bearing seat 110 is rotatably connected to a portion of the first fixed shaft 321 located in the clearance space 313, and the bearing seat 110 can be received in the clearance space 313. For example, the first fixed shaft 321 can be a bolt with a certain length. The rod portion of the bolt is disposed in the first ear 311 and the clearance space 313 and is threadedly connected to the second ear 312. The cap portion of the bolt abuts against the first ear 311. In this way, the first ear 311 and the second ear 312 are fixedly connected by the action of the bolt.

[0062] Refer to Figure 3 , the bearing mechanism 100 may further include a first bushing 130. The first bushing 130 is fixedly disposed on the bearing seat 110, that is, the first bushing 130 is fixedly connected to the bearing seat 110. The first fixed shaft 321 is disposed in the first bushing 130 and the bearing seat 110. The first bushing 130 is rotatably engaged with the first fixed shaft 321. When the first bushing 130 rotates relative to the first fixed shaft 321, the first bushing 130 and the bearing seat 110 will rotate synchronously relative to the first fixed shaft 321, so as to realize the entire rotating assembly 120 and the camera 20 rotating synchronously relative to the connecting mechanism 300 about the axis of the first fixed shaft 321.

[0063] In some embodiments, the mounting mechanism 200 is for being placed on a horizontal support surface such as a tabletop, and can also be fixed on a vertical support surface such as a wall surface. The mounting mechanism 200 includes a mounting assembly 210 and a rotating assembly 220. The mounting assembly 210 and the rotating assembly 220 are rotatably connected. The rotating assembly 220 can rotate relative to the mounting assembly 210 about a rotating shaft extending in the first direction. The mounting assembly 210 is for being placed on a tabletop or fixed on a wall surface. The rotating assembly 220 is connected to the connecting mechanism 300. When the rotating assembly 220 rotates relative to the mounting assembly 210, the camera 20, the bearing mechanism 100, and the connecting mechanism 300 will rotate synchronously relative to the mounting assembly 210 following the rotating assembly 220.

[0064] Refer to Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8, in some embodiments, the mounting assembly 210 includes a first mounting cover 211. An installation cavity 2111a is formed on the first mounting cover 211. The rotating assembly 220 is rotationally engaged with the installation cavity 2111a. Therefore, the installation cavity 2111a can play a good positioning role in the rotation of the rotating assembly 220, reduce the vibration generated during the rotation of the rotating assembly 220, improve the stability of the rotation process of the rotating assembly 220, and then improve the rotation accuracy of the rotating assembly 220.

[0065] Refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 , the first mounting cover 211 may include a first cover body 2111 and a protruding portion 2112. The first cover body 2111 encloses the installation cavity 2111a. The protruding portion 2112 protrudes from the inner wall surface of the installation cavity 2111a. The protruding portion 2112 can divide the installation cavity 2111a to form a first installation cavity 2111b and a second installation cavity 2111c. The rotating assembly 220 includes a first rotating member 221 and a second rotating member 222. The first rotating member 221 is rotatably arranged in the first installation cavity 2111b and abuts against the protruding portion 2112. The connecting mechanism 300 is connected to the first rotating member 221. The second rotating member 222 is rotatably arranged in the second installation cavity 2111c and abuts against the protruding portion 2112. In this way, the protruding portion 2112 abuts between the first rotating member 221 and the second rotating member 222, and the first rotating member 221 and the second rotating member 222 can rotate synchronously. By abutting the protruding portion 2112 between the first rotating member 221 and the second rotating member 222, the protruding portion 2112 can play a good limiting role in the thickness direction of the protruding portion 2112 on the entire rotating assembly 220, preventing the vibration of the entire rotating assembly 220 in the thickness direction of the protruding portion 2112, thereby improving the rotation accuracy of the rotating assembly 220.

[0066] Refer to Figure 8, in some embodiments, the rotating assembly 220 further includes a fixing member 223. A through hole 2112a is formed in the protruding portion 2112. The through hole 2112a penetrates the entire protruding portion 2112 along the thickness direction of the protruding portion 2112, so that the through hole 2112a communicates with the first installation cavity 2111b and the second installation cavity 2111c. The fixing member 223 is inserted into the through hole 2112a, so that the fixing member 223 fixedly connects the first rotating member 221 and the second rotating member 222. The fixing member 223 can be one or more. When there are multiple fixing members 223, the multiple fixing members 223 are simultaneously inserted into the through hole 2112a, which can prevent the fixing member 223 from interfering with the rotation of the rotating assembly 220 relative to the first mounting cover 211 and ensure the smooth rotation of the rotating assembly 220 relative to the first mounting cover 211. Through the action of the fixing member 223, the first rotating member 221 and the second rotating member 222 can rotate synchronously as a whole relative to the first mounting cover 211.

[0067] In other embodiments, the through hole 2112a may not be provided on the protruding portion 2112, and the fixing member 223 may be removed, so that a magnetic attraction force can be generated between the first rotating member 221 and the second rotating member 222, so that the protruding portion 2112 abuts between the first rotating member 221 and the second rotating member 222, and the first rotating member 221 and the second rotating member 222 can also rotate synchronously relative to the first mounting cover 211.

[0068] Refer to Figure 8 , in some embodiments, the fixing member 223 can be a fixing bolt. The screw rod of the fixing bolt is inserted through the second rotating member 222 and is threadedly connected to the first rotating member 221. The nut of the fixing bolt abuts against the second rotating member 222, so as to realize the fixed connection relationship between the first rotating member 221 and the second rotating member 222. By rotating the fixing bolt, the pre-tightening force of the fixing bolt can be adjusted, so as to adjust the abutting force and frictional resistance between the first rotating member 221 and the second rotating member 222 and the protruding portion 2112, so as to adjust the damping force during the rotation of the entire rotating assembly 220 relative to the first mounting cover 211.

[0069] Refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8, in some embodiments, the first rotating member 221 may include a first rotating portion 2211 and a first convex ring 2212. The first rotating portion 2211 is connected to the connecting mechanism 300. The first convex ring 2212 protrudes from the surface of the first rotating portion 2211 facing the protruding portion 2112, such that the first convex ring 2212 protrudes a certain height relative to the first rotating portion 2211. The first convex ring 2212 will abut against the protruding portion 2112, while the first rotating portion 2211 will be spaced apart from the protruding portion 2112 and cannot make contact. Therefore, by providing the first convex ring 2212, the direct contact area between the first rotating member 221 and the protruding portion 2112 can be reasonably reduced, thereby reasonably reducing the direct frictional resistance between the first rotating member 221 and the protruding portion 2112, and thus improving the smoothness of the rotation of the entire rotating assembly 220 relative to the mounting assembly 210. Of course, a lubricating fluid can also be injected between the first rotating member 221, the second rotating member 222, and the protruding portion 2112 to further improve the smoothness of rotation.

[0070] In some embodiments, the second rotating member 222 may include a second rotating portion 2221 and a second convex ring 2222. The second convex ring 2222 protrudes from the surface of the second rotating portion 2221 facing the protruding portion 2112, such that the second convex ring 2222 protrudes a certain height relative to the second rotating portion 2221. The second convex ring 2222 will abut against the protruding portion 2112, while the second rotating portion 2221 will be spaced apart from the protruding portion 2112 and cannot make contact. Therefore, by providing the second convex ring 2222, the direct contact area between the second rotating member 222 and the protruding portion 2112 can be reasonably reduced, thereby reasonably reducing the direct frictional resistance between the second rotating member 222 and the protruding portion 2112, and thus improving the smoothness of the rotation of the entire rotating assembly 220 relative to the mounting assembly 210.

[0071] Refer to Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9, in some embodiments, the mounting assembly 210 further includes a second mounting cover 212. The first mounting cover 211 is inserted into the second mounting cover 212 and fixedly connected to the second mounting cover 212. The first cover body 2111 of the first mounting cover 211 may include a first cover plate 2111d and a first frame 2111e. The first frame 2111e protrudes from the first cover plate 2111d and extends a set length along the circumferential direction of the first cover plate 2111d. The first cover plate 2111d has a stepped surface 2111f disposed around the first frame 2111e. The second mounting cover 212 includes a second cover plate 2121, a second frame 2122, and a flange 2123. The second frame 2122 protrudes from the second cover plate 2121 and extends a set length along the circumferential direction of the second cover plate 2121. The flange 2123 is connected to one end of the second frame 2122 away from the second cover plate 2121. The flange 2123, the second cover plate 2121, and the second frame 2122 define an insertion cavity 2124. When the first mounting cover 211 and the second mounting cover 212 are assembled with each other, the first frame 2111e is received in the insertion cavity 2124, the second cover plate 2121 is located outside the insertion cavity 2124, and the stepped surface 2111f of the first cover plate 2111d abuts against the flange 2123, thereby preventing the first mounting cover 211 from detaching from the second mounting cover 212 in the first direction.

[0072] Refer to Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 , the mounting assembly 210 may further include a mounting bolt 214 and an elastic member 215. The mounting bolt 214 is used to connect the first mounting cover 211 and the second mounting cover 212. For example, the rod portion of the mounting bolt 214 passes through the first mounting cover 211 and is threadedly connected to the second mounting cover 212. The cap portion of the mounting bolt 214 abuts against the first mounting cover 211, thereby fixing the first mounting cover 211 and the second mounting cover 212. The elastic member 215 may be a spring. The elastic member 215 is sleeved on the rod portion of the mounting bolt 214, and the elastic member 215 abuts between the first mounting cover 211 and the cap portion of the mounting bolt 214. During the process of loosening the mounting bolt 214, after the threaded connection between the mounting bolt 214 and the second mounting cover 212 is released, under the elastic force of the elastic member 215, the mounting bolt 214 can be completely detached from the second mounting cover 212, so as to realize the smooth unloading of the first mounting cover 211 relative to the second mounting cover 212.

[0073] When the bracket device 10 is placed on a horizontal support surface such as a desktop, the first mounting cover 211 and the second mounting cover 212 can be assembled with each other, so that the mounting assembly 210 can be placed on a horizontal support surface such as a desktop. When it is necessary to fix the bracket device 10 on a vertical support surface such as a wall surface, the second mounting cover 212 can be fixed on the wall surface by screws 402 first, then the first mounting cover 211 is inserted into the insertion cavity 2124 of the second mounting cover 212, and finally the first mounting cover 211 is fixed to the second mounting cover 212 by mounting bolts 214.

[0074] Refer to Figure 7 、 Figure 8 and Figure 9 , in some embodiments, the mounting assembly 210 may further include an anti-slip pad 213. The anti-slip pad 213 may have a certain flexibility. The anti-slip pad 213 is disposed on the surface of the second mounting cover 212 facing away from the first mounting cover 211. When the bracket device 10 is placed on the desktop, it can prevent the second mounting cover 212 from sliding relative to the desktop, improving the stability of the entire bracket device 10. When the bracket device 10 is fixed on the wall surface, the anti-slip pad 213 abuts between the second mounting cover 212 and the wall surface. The anti-slip pad 213 can act as a washer, increasing the pre-tightening force of the screw 402 used to fix the second mounting cover 212, thereby increasing the abutting force between the second mounting cover 212 and the wall surface, and ultimately improving the stability and reliability of the installation of the bracket device 10 on the wall surface.

[0075] In some embodiments, the connecting mechanism 300 is rotatably connected to the first rotating member 221 of the rotating assembly 220. The connecting mechanism 300 can rotate relative to the first rotating member 221 about a rotating shaft extending in the second direction. The connecting mechanism 300 may further include a second fixed shaft 322. The second fixed shaft 322 and the first fixed shaft 321 may be spaced apart along the first direction. The second fixed shaft 322 is disposed through the avoidance space 313. The axis of the second fixed shaft 322 extends in the second direction. The second fixed shaft 322 fixedly connects the first ear 311 and the second ear 312. For example, the second fixed shaft 322 may be a bolt with a certain length. The rod portion of the bolt is disposed through the first ear 311 and the avoidance space 313 and is threadedly connected to the second ear 312. The cap portion of the bolt abuts against the first ear 311. In this way, the first ear 311 and the second ear 312 are fixedly connected by the action of the bolt.

[0076] Refer to Figure 6, the mounting mechanism 200 may further include a second bushing 230. The second fixed shaft 322 is disposed through the second bushing 230 and the first rotating member 221. The second bushing 230 is rotationally engaged with the second fixed shaft 322 and fixedly connected to the first rotating member 221. When the second bushing 230 rotates relative to the second fixed shaft 322, the first rotating member 221 and the second bushing 230 can rotate synchronously relative to the second fixed shaft 322, so that the entire connecting mechanism 300 can rotate relative to the rotating assembly 220 about the axis of the second fixed shaft 322.

[0077] In other embodiments, the connecting mechanism 300 and the rotating assembly 220 are fixedly connected, that is, the connecting mechanism 300 cannot rotate relative to the rotating assembly 220 about the rotating shaft extending in the second direction.

[0078] Refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 , therefore, in view of the fact that the camera 20 is fixed on the rotating assembly 120, the rotating assembly 120 can rotate relative to the bearing seat 110 about the first vertical axis 411 extending in the first direction, and the bearing seat 110 can rotate relative to the connecting mechanism 300 about the first horizontal axis 421 extending in the second direction. The connecting mechanism 300 is connected to the rotating assembly 220, and the rotating assembly 220 can rotate relative to the mounting assembly 210 about the second vertical axis 412 extending in the first direction. When the mounting assembly 210 is stationary, when the rotating assembly 220 rotates relative to the mounting assembly 210 about the second vertical axis 412, the camera 20 will also follow the rotating assembly 220 and rotate relative to the mounting assembly 210 about the second vertical axis 412; when the rotating assembly 120 rotates relative to the bearing seat 110 about the first vertical axis 411, the camera 20 will also follow the rotating assembly 120 and rotate relative to the mounting assembly 210 about the first vertical axis 411; when the bearing seat 110 rotates relative to the connecting mechanism 300 about the first horizontal axis 421, the camera 20 will also follow the bearing seat 110 and rotate relative to the mounting assembly 210 about the first horizontal axis 421; the camera 20 can rotate about the first vertical axis 411, the first horizontal axis 421, and the second vertical axis 412, that is, the camera 20 has three degrees of rotational freedom. In this way, the camera 20 has more degrees of freedom, so that the adjustment range of the shooting angle of the camera 20 can be increased. During the operation, there is no need to disassemble the camera 20. Only by rotating the rotating assembly 120 relative to the bearing seat 110, the bearing seat 110 relative to the connecting mechanism 300, and the rotating assembly 220 relative to the mounting assembly 210, the shooting angle of the camera 20 can be conveniently and quickly adjusted, thereby improving the convenience of use of the entire bracket device 10.

[0079] Further, when the connecting mechanism 300 can rotate relative to the rotating assembly 220, that is, the connecting mechanism 300 can rotate relative to the rotating assembly 220 about the second horizontal axis 422 along the second direction, so that the camera 20 can also rotate about the second horizontal axis 422. That is, the camera 20 has four degrees of rotational freedom, which can further increase the adjustment range of the shooting angle of the camera 20, thereby further improving the convenience of use of the entire bracket device 10. It can be understood that the first vertical axis 411 and the second vertical axis 412 can be coaxially arranged or parallel arranged, and the first horizontal axis 421 and the second horizontal axis 422 are parallel arranged.

[0080] Refer to Figure 11 and Figure 12 The present application also provides a camera 20, which includes a camera unit 21, an end cap 22, a battery cover 23, a snap ring 24 and a disassembly screw 25. The end cap 22 is located between the camera unit 21 and the battery cover 23, and the end cap 22 is detachably connected to the camera unit 21. For example, the end cap 22 can be fixedly connected to the camera unit 21 by a plurality of screws. The snap ring 24 is located between the end cap 22 and the battery cover 23. The disassembly screw 25 passes through the battery cover 23 and the snap ring 24 and is fixedly connected to the end cap 22, thereby realizing the detachable connection relationship between the end cap 22 and the battery cover 23. By providing the snap ring 24, it can be ensured that the disassembly screw 25 is difficult to loosen from the battery cover 23, thereby improving the connection strength between the end cap 22 and the battery cover 23. In other embodiments, the snap ring 24 can be omitted, the disassembly screw 25 can be replaced with components such as rivets, or the disassembly screw 25 can be omitted, and the end cap 22 and the battery cover 23 can be directly connected by means of clamping or gluing.
