[0002] With the increasing popularity of cameras, users have higher and higher requirements for cameras. In addition to normal monitoring, they also hope to be able to adjust the monitoring range at any time. Currently, cameras are generally fixed to brackets by screws. However, for traditional brackets, when the camera angle needs to be adjusted, the screws need to be loosened first, and then the position of the camera on the bracket is manually adjusted to adjust the shooting angle of the camera. Finally, the camera with the adjusted shooting angle is fixed on the bracket, which will affect the convenience of using the bracket. Summary of the Utility Model

[0039] In order to make the above objects, features, and advantages of the present application more obvious and understandable, the following will describe the detailed implementation manners of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to fully understand the present application. However, the present application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without departing from the connotation of the present application. Therefore, the present application is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0040] In the description of the present application, it should be understood that if these terms "center", "longitudinal", "transverse", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential", etc. appear, the orientation or positional relationship indicated by these terms is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of the present application.

[0041] In addition, if the terms "first" and "second" appear, these terms are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one such feature. In the description of this application, if the term "plurality" appears, the meaning of "plurality" is at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0042] In this application, unless otherwise clearly specified and defined, if terms such as "installed", "connected", "linked", "fixed", etc. appear, these terms should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or integrated; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements, unless otherwise clearly defined. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0043] In this application, unless otherwise clearly specified and defined, if there is a description such as a first feature being "on" or "under" a second feature, the meaning can be that the first and second features are in direct contact, or the first and second features are in indirect contact through an intermediate medium. Moreover, the first feature being "above", "over" and "on top of" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or obliquely above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. The first feature being "under", "beneath" and "underneath" the second feature can be that the first feature is directly below or obliquely below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0044] It should be noted that if an element is referred to as "fixed to" or "disposed on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or there can also be an intermediate element. If an element is considered to be "connected" to another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intermediate element at the same time. If so, the terms "vertical", "horizontal", "up", "down", "left", "right" and similar expressions used in this application are only for the purpose of illustration and do not represent the only implementation.

[0045] Refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3, in an embodiment of the present application, a bracket device 10 provided is used to install a camera 20. The bracket device 10 includes a bearing mechanism 100, a mounting mechanism 200, and a connecting mechanism 300. The camera 20 is fixedly installed on the bearing mechanism 100, and the connecting mechanism 300 is connected between the mounting mechanism 200 and the bearing mechanism 100. With reference to the first direction and the second direction that are perpendicular to each other, the first direction can be understood as the vertical direction, and the second direction can be understood as the horizontal direction.

[0046] Refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , in some embodiments, the bearing mechanism 100 includes a bearing seat 110. The camera 20 can be fixed on the bearing seat 110 through bolts 401. 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 the second direction. Since the camera 20 is fixedly installed on the bearing mechanism 100, when the bearing seat 110 rotates relative to the connecting mechanism 300, the camera 20 will synchronously rotate relative to the connecting mechanism 300 following the bearing seat 110.

[0047] Refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , in some embodiments, the bearing mechanism 100 further includes a limiting post 120. The number of the limiting posts 120 can be one or more. The limiting posts 120 can protrude from the bearing seat 110. The limiting posts 120 are used to be inserted into the limiting holes of the camera 20. The outer circumferential surface of the limiting post 120 includes an arc surface 121 and a flat surface 122. The flat surface 122 is connected to both ends of the arc surface 121. The shape of the limiting post 120 matches the shape of the limiting hole of the camera 20, so that the limiting post 120 can cooperate with the limiting hole. By inserting the limiting post 120 into the camera 20, on the one hand, it can play a role in limiting the installation of the camera 20 on the entire bearing mechanism 100 and improve the installation accuracy of the camera 20. On the other hand, through the setting of the arc surface 121 and the flat surface 122, it can prevent the camera 20 from rotating relative to the bearing seat 110 about a rotating shaft extending in the first direction, ensuring that the camera 20 and the bearing seat 110 rotate synchronously relative to the connecting mechanism 300. On the further hand, through the setting of the arc surface 121 and the flat surface 122, it can ensure that the camera 20 can only cooperate with the limiting post 120 in a specific installation orientation. If the installation orientation of the camera 20 changes, the limiting post 120 cannot be inserted into the limiting hole of the camera 20, thus the installation of the camera 20 cannot be achieved. Therefore, the limiting post 120 can play a "foolproof" role and improve the installation accuracy of the camera 20.

[0048] In other embodiments, for example, the positions of the limiting hole and the limiting post 120 can be swapped, that is, the limiting post 120 is arranged on the camera 20, and the limiting hole is arranged on the carrier seat 110. The inner wall surface of the limiting hole includes an arc surface 121 and a plane 122, and the plane 122 is connected to both ends of the arc surface 121. Through the cooperation of the limiting hole and the limiting post 120, the functions of "anti-fooling" and ensuring the synchronous movement of both the camera 20 and the carrier seat 110 can also be achieved. For another example, the carrier seat 110 can be provided with both a limiting hole and a limiting post 120, and the camera 20 can also be provided with a limiting hole and a limiting post 120 correspondingly.

[0049] Refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown in, 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 arranged at intervals along the second direction, and 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, and 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 carrier seat 110 is rotatably connected to the part of the first fixed shaft 321 located in the clearance space 313, and the carrier 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 passes through the first ear 311 and the clearance space 313 and is threadedly connected to the second ear 312, and 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.

[0050] The carrier mechanism 100 may further include a first bushing 130. The first bushing 130 is fixedly arranged on the carrier seat 110. The first fixed shaft 321 passes through the first bushing 130 and the carrier seat 110. The first bushing 130 is rotationally matched with the first fixed shaft 321 and fixedly connected to the carrier seat 110. When the first bushing 130 rotates relative to the first fixed shaft 321, it will cause the first bushing 130 and the carrier seat 110 to rotate synchronously relative to the first fixed shaft 321, so as to realize the synchronous rotation of the entire carrier mechanism 100 and the camera 20 relative to the connecting mechanism 300 around the axis of the first fixed shaft 321.

[0051] In some embodiments, the installation mechanism 200 is used to be placed on a horizontal support surface such as a desktop, and can also be fixed on a vertical support surface such as a wall surface. The installation mechanism 200 includes an installation component 210 and a rotation component 220. The installation component 210 and the rotation component 220 are rotationally connected, and the rotation component 220 can rotate relative to the installation component 210 about a rotation axis extending in a first direction. The installation component 210 is used to be placed on a desktop or fixed on a wall surface. The rotation component 220 is connected to the connection mechanism 300. When the rotation component 220 rotates relative to the installation component 210, the camera 20, the bearing mechanism 100, and the connection mechanism 300 will follow the rotation component 220 and rotate synchronously relative to the installation component 210.

[0052] Refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , in some embodiments, the installation component 210 includes a first installation cover 211. An installation cavity 2111a is formed on the first installation cover 211. The rotation component 220 cooperates with the installation cavity 2111a, thereby realizing the rotational connection relationship between the rotation component 220 and the first installation cover 211. Therefore, the installation cavity 2111a can play a good positioning role in the rotation of the rotation component 220, reduce the vibration generated during the rotation of the rotation component 220, improve the stability of the rotation process of the rotation component 220, and then improve the rotation accuracy of the rotation component 220.

[0053] Refer to Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the first installation 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 rotation component 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 connection 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 for the entire rotation component 220, preventing the vibration of the entire rotation component 220 in the thickness direction of the protruding portion 2112, thereby improving the rotation accuracy of the rotation component 220.

[0054] Refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 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 the first mounting cavity 2111b and the second mounting 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 may be one or more. When there are multiple fixing members 223, the multiple fixing members 223 are simultaneously inserted into the through hole 2112a, so as to prevent the fixing member 223 from interfering with the rotation of the rotating assembly 220 relative to the first mounting cover 211, and ensure that the rotating assembly 220 rotates smoothly 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 relative to the first mounting cover 211 as a whole.

[0055] In other embodiments, the through hole 2112a may not be provided on the protruding portion 2112, and the fixing member 223 is cancelled, so that a magnetic suction 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 also realizes the synchronous rotation of the first rotating member 221 and the second rotating member 222 relative to the first mounting cover 211.

[0056] In some embodiments, the fixing member 223 may 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.

[0057] 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 abut. 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 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.

[0058] Refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , 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 abut. 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 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.

[0059] Refer to Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7, 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. The first frame 2111e 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 flanging 2123. The second frame 2122 protrudes from the second cover plate 2121. The second frame 2122 extends a set length along the circumferential direction of the second cover plate 2121. The flanging 2123 is connected to one end of the second frame 2122 away from the second cover plate 2121. The flanging 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 flanging 2123, thereby preventing the first mounting cover 211 from detaching from the second mounting cover 212 in the first direction.

[0060] Refer to Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 , 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 realizing the fixation of 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, thereby realizing the smooth unloading of the first mounting cover 211 relative to the second mounting cover 212.

[0061] When the bracket device 10 is placed on a horizontal support surface such as a tabletop, 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 the horizontal support surface such as the tabletop. When it is necessary to fix the bracket device 10 on a vertical support surface such as a wall, the second mounting cover 212 can be fixed to the wall 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.

[0062] 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 tabletop, it can prevent the second mounting cover 212 from sliding relative to the tabletop, improving the stability of the entire bracket device 10. When the bracket device 10 is fixed on the wall, the anti-slip pad 213 abuts between the second mounting cover 212 and the wall. 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, and finally improving the stability and reliability of the installation of the bracket device 10 on the wall.

[0063] In some embodiments, the connecting mechanism 300 is rotatably connected to the first rotating member 221 of the rotating assembly 220, and 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 in the avoidance space 313. The axis of the second fixed shaft 322 extends in the second direction, and 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 having a certain length. The rod portion of the bolt is disposed in the first ear 311 and the avoidance space 313 and is threadedly connected to the second ear 312. The head 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.

[0064] Refer to Figure 4, 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 as to enable the entire connecting mechanism 300 to rotate relative to the rotating assembly 220 about the axis of the second fixed shaft 322.

[0065] 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.

[0066] Refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 , therefore, in view of the fact that the camera 20 is fixed on the carrier 110, the carrier 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 vertical axis 423 extending in the first direction. When the mounting assembly 210 is stationary, when the carrier 110 rotates relative to the connecting mechanism 300 about the first horizontal axis 421, the camera 20 will also follow the carrier 110 to rotate relative to the mounting assembly 210 about the first horizontal axis 421; when the rotating assembly 220 rotates relative to the mounting assembly 210 about the vertical axis 423, the camera 20 will also follow the rotating assembly 220 to rotate relative to the mounting assembly 210 about the vertical axis 423. The camera 20 can rotate relative to the mounting assembly 210 about the first horizontal axis 421 and the vertical axis 423, that is, the camera 20 has two degrees of rotational freedom. In this way, the camera 20 has more degrees of freedom, so as to increase the adjustment range of the shooting angle of the camera 20. During the operation, there is no need to disassemble the camera 20. Only by rotating the carrier 110 relative to the connecting mechanism 300 and rotating 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.

[0067] Refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6, Further, when the connecting mechanism 300 is rotatable 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 extending in the second direction, so that the camera 20 can also rotate relative to the mounting assembly 210 about the second horizontal axis 422. That is, the camera 20 has three rotational degrees of 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.

[0068] Refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 , The present application also provides a camera 20, which includes a shooting part 21, an end cover 22, a battery cover 23, a snap ring 24 and a disassembly screw 25. The end cover 22 is located between the shooting part 21 and the battery cover 23, and the end cover 22 is detachably connected to the shooting part 21. For example, the end cover 22 can be fixedly connected to the shooting part 21 by a plurality of screws. The snap ring 24 is located between the end cover 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 cover 22, thereby realizing the detachable connection relationship between the end cover 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 cover 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 cover 22 and the battery cover 23 can be directly connected by means of clamping or gluing.
