[0017] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present application clearer, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0018] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present application.

[0019] The mention of "embodiment" in this document means that the specific features, structures or characteristics described in connection with the embodiment can be included in at least one embodiment of the present application. The phrase does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment every time it appears in the specification, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. Those skilled in the art will explicitly and implicitly understand that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0020] An embodiment of the present application is a combined camera structure, and its specific structure is as Figures 1-3 shown.

[0021] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the camera structure includes a main camera 10. The main camera 10 can be a camera with GPS / Beidou satellite positioning. A corner plate 20 for installing an expansion device 30 is provided on the side of the main camera 10, and the corner plate 20 and the expansion device 30 are detachably and fixedly connected. The corner plate 20 can be made of rust-proof and anti-corrosion materials, such as stainless steel / aluminum oxide alloy / zinc alloy, etc., to improve durability. In Figure 1 and Figure 2 examples, a corner plate 20 is provided on each side of the main camera 10, while in other embodiments, a corner plate 20 can be provided only on one side of the main camera 10. Specifically, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, a protective cover 11 is provided on the upper part of the main camera 10, and the corner plate 20 is detachably fixed to the side of the protective cover 11 by a plurality of screws. In other embodiments, if the main camera 10 does not have a protective cover, the corner plate 20 can also be directly fixed to the housing 12 of the main camera 10 itself. In Figure 1 and Figure 2 , each corner plate 20 only fixes one expansion device 30. In other embodiments, the corner plate 20 can be elongated, and more than 1 expansion device 30 can be fixedly arranged in parallel on the corner plate 20.

[0022] In specific implementation, the expansion device 30 can be an auxiliary camera, a lighting lamp or a sensor. Specifically, the auxiliary camera can be a black light camera or an infrared thermal imaging camera, and the sensor can be a temperature sensor or a radar sensor, and the lighting lamp can be a fill light or a stroboscopic light. As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, both of the two expansion devices 30 are auxiliary cameras, one of which is a black light camera 30', and the other is an infrared thermal imaging camera 30", so that the camera can simultaneously capture a color image and an infrared imaging diagram when the brightness is low at night. In other embodiments, the corresponding expansion device can be selected according to actual needs. For example, one of the expansion devices is a radar sensor, and the other expansion device is an infrared thermal imaging camera.

[0023] As Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the main camera 10 is equipped with two extended wire harnesses 13, and each extended wire harness 13 is connected to one of the extended devices 30 through a detachable cable connector 14. The detachable cable connector 14 adopts a waterproof connector to prevent moisture from entering and causing connection failure. The extended wire harness 13 is used for electrically connecting the main camera 10 and the extended device 30. Electric energy and data between the extended device 30 and the main camera 10 are transmitted through the extended wire harness 13. When the extended device 30 is needed, the corresponding extended device 30 is fixed on the angle plate 20 according to specific usage requirements, and then the extended wire harness 13 is connected to the extended device 30. When the extended device 30 is not needed, the connection between the extended wire harness 13 and the extended device 30 is disconnected, and then the extended device 30 is removed from the angle plate 20. Thus, the scalability of the camera structure is improved, meeting the different usage requirements of users.

[0024] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 shown, each angle plate 20 is provided with a fixed hole 21 and an arc-shaped hole 22. The center of the arc-shaped hole 22 is the center of the fixed hole 21, and the connecting line 23 between the center of the fixed hole 21 and the midpoint of the arc-shaped hole 22 is parallel to the axis of the main camera 10. Correspondingly, two internal screw holes 31, 33 are provided on the wall of the extended device 30, and the connecting line 32 of the two internal screw holes 31, 33 is parallel to the axis 300 of the extended device 30. When installing the extended device 30 on the angle plate 20, a screw 41 is passed through the fixed hole 21 and screwed into one of the internal screw holes 31, and another screw 42 is passed through the arc-shaped hole 22 and screwed into the other internal screw hole 33. When the orientation angle of the extended device 30 needs to be adjusted, the screw 42 passing through the arc-shaped hole 22 can be loosened, the extended device 30 is rotated by a certain angle along the screw 41 passing through the fixed hole 21, and finally the two screws 41, 42 are tightened to re-fix the extended device 30.
