Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cameras, in particular to a multi-view camera. Background Art

[0002] Cameras are used to be installed on trucks. Generally, wide-angle cameras are used at present. However, when using wide-angle cameras, the angle is not adjustable, and the pixels in the visual edge range are not clear.

Two symmetrically distributed limit strips 210 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the right end of the first motor cover 201 and the inner wall of the right end of the second motor cover 202. L-shaped plates 205 are fixedly connected to the left end inside the first motor cover 201 and the left end inside the second motor cover 202. Arc-shaped card slots are opened in the middle of the end of the two L-shaped plates 205 close to the stepping motor 8. Step grooves 206 are opened at the ends of the two L-shaped plates 205 far from the stepping motor 8; by installing the stepping motor 8 in the first motor cover 201 and making the left end, middle and right end of the stepping motor 8 be respectively stuck in the arc-shaped card slot on the L-shaped plate 205, the arc-shaped plate 204 inside the first motor cover 201 and between the two limit strips 210, and then buckling the second motor cover 202 with the first motor cover 201, the arc-shaped plates 204, limit strips 210 and arc-shaped card slots on the first motor cover 201 and the second motor cover 202 can firmly install the stepping motor 8 therein.

[0031] In addition, camera card holes 208 adapted to the camera 3 are provided at the bottom of the left end of the first motor cover 201 and the bottom of the left end of the second motor cover 202.
