Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cameras, in particular to a camera device and an electronic device that can be lifted and rotated to adjust the angle. Background Technique

[0002] At present, most of the lifting cameras can only be lifted, or rotated to a certain angle after lifting, and the rotation angle is relatively small, and they cannot achieve 360-degree rotation. Cameras that cannot be lifted and rotated usually can only provide a fixed viewing angle, and cannot flexibly adjust the shooting angle and height. This may lead to limited vision, visual blind spots, inability to fully cover or monitor the required area, inability to achieve panoramic shooting, and potential safety hazards.

[0003] Fixed cameras cannot be hidden or retracted, which may cause concerns about privacy leakage. Especially when used in some private places or personal devices, users may be worried about privacy protection. The layout of such cameras is also restricted by space and may not meet the requirements in specific scenarios, such as when the viewing angle needs to be adjusted or the camera needs to be hidden. Fixed cameras are not easy to hide and are vulnerable to damage or occlusion, especially in environments that need to be protected, such as outdoor monitoring, industrial sites, etc. Cameras that cannot be lifted and rotated may also lack some advanced functions, such as tracking, autofocus, etc., and cannot meet the requirements of some specific applications.

The camera device 100 is fixedly installed on an electronic device, and the camera device 100 is applied to shooting, video recording, tracking, etc. The specific features of each component in the camera device 100 will be described in detail below.

[0028] Please refer to Figures 2 - 4 , Figures 2 - 4 which schematically shows a three-dimensional view of the camera device capable of lifting and rotating to adjust the angle from different perspectives.

[0029] As Figures 2 - 4 shown, the camera device 100 capable of lifting and rotating to adjust the angle includes a lifting motor 110, a rotating motor 120, a camera assembly 130, a motor main frame 140, a slider 150, a lead screw 160, a guide rod 170, an output gear 181, a rotating gear 182, and a gear box cover 190. Among them, the lifting motor 110 is installed at the tail of the motor main frame 140 and is located outside the motor main frame 140. The lifting motor 110 is used to drive the slider 150 to slide, so as to drive the camera assembly 130 to perform a lifting movement within a certain range. Specifically, the lifting motor 110 can control the camera assembly 130 to extend out of the motor main frame 140 or retract into the interior of the motor main frame 140.

[0030] In this embodiment, the rotary motor 120 is fixedly installed on the slider 150 and is located inside the motor main body frame 140 together with the slider 150. The rotary motor 120 is used to drive the camera assembly 130 to perform a rotational movement. Specifically, when the lifting motor 110 drives the camera assembly to rise to a preset height, the rotary motor 120 starts to work and controls the camera assembly 130 to rotate to a preset angle for shooting.

[0031] In this embodiment, the camera assembly 130 is connected to the other end of the slider 150 away from the rotary motor 120. The camera assembly 130 includes a camera 131 and a camera flexible cable (not shown in the figure). The camera 131 is used to capture picture images. The camera flexible cable exits from the center position at the bottom of the camera 131 and passes through the gearbox cover 190, the rotating gear 182, and the slider 150 in sequence, so as to exit from the bottom of the motor main body frame 140 and be connected to an external device. Among them, the camera flexible cable is an extremely thin coaxial connection cable, so that the camera 131 will not be interfered by the camera flexible cable during the rotation process. The camera assembly 130 is connected to the slider 150. The camera assembly 130 can move together with the slider 150.

[0032] In this embodiment, the motor main body frame 140 is generally in the shape of a cube with a hollow design in the middle and not closed, and its main material is polyamide (PA). A circular opening adapted to the camera assembly 130 is provided above the motor main body frame 140 for the camera 131 to move in the motor main body frame 140. A rectangular notch is provided below the motor main body frame 140 for the camera flexible cable to extend out of the motor main body frame 140 and be connected to an external device. The motor main body frame 140 includes a first through hole 141, a second through hole 142, and a third through hole 143. Among them, the first through hole 141 and the second through hole 142 are located on the upper surface of the motor main body frame 140, and the third through hole 143 is located on the lower surface of the motor main body frame 140. First mounting parts and second mounting parts for fixedly connecting to an external structure are further provided on the left and right sides of the motor main body frame 140. Among them, the first mounting part includes a fixed shaft and a circular through hole design. The second mounting part also includes a fixed shaft and a circular through hole design. The fixed shaft and circular through hole designs of the first mounting part and the second mounting part can be the same or different. Optionally, the first mounting part and the second mounting part adopt the same fixed shaft and circular through hole design. An installation bracket 144 adapted to the size of the lifting motor 110 is further provided at the lower left of the motor main body frame 140.

[0033] In this embodiment, the slider 150 is generally in the shape of a long strip that is wider in the middle and narrower at both ends. The slider 150 is both the driving slider of the lifting motor 110 and the mounting bracket of the rotating motor 120. The mounting bracket of the rotating motor 120 is provided at the lower position of the slider 150. First circular through-holes and second circular through-holes adapted to the lead screw 160 and the guide rod 170 are provided at both ends of the slider 150, through which the lead screw 160 and the guide rod 170 can vertically penetrate into the slider 150, fixing the slider 150 inside the motor main body frame 140 and enabling it to move inside the motor main body frame 140. A third circular through-hole slightly larger than the circular through-holes at both ends is also provided in the middle of the slider 150, and the third circular through-hole is used for the camera cable to pass through the slider 150.

[0034] In this embodiment, the lead screw 160 is a slender threaded lead screw made of stainless steel. The lead screw 160 includes a lead screw head end 161 and a lead screw tail end 162. Among them, the lead screw head end 161 is fixedly connected to the first through-hole 141 of the motor main body frame 140 by means of bearing connection, and the lead screw tail end 162 is directly connected to the lifting motor 110, and the lifting motor 110 can drive the lead screw 160 to rotate. The lead screw 160 is connected to the slider 150 by internal thread meshing.

[0035] In this embodiment, the guide rod 170 is a slender smooth guide rod made of stainless steel. The guide rod 170 includes a guide rod head end 171 and a guide rod tail end 172. Among them, the length and diameter of the guide rod 170 are the same as those of the lead screw 160. The guide rod head end 171 is fixed to the second through-hole 142 of the motor main body frame 140 by means of spot welding connection, and the guide rod tail end 172 is fixed to the third through-hole 143 of the motor main body frame 140 by means of spot welding connection. The guide rod 170 is connected to the slider 150 by shaft and hole fit.

[0036] In this embodiment, the output gear 181 is the main component for controlling the rotational movement. The output gear 181 is provided on the output shaft of the rotating motor 120 and is located above the slider 150. The rotating motor 120 can control the output gear 181 to rotate.

[0037] In this embodiment, the rotating gear 182 is located at the bottom of the camera assembly 130. The output gear 181 meshes with the rotating gear 182. When the rotating motor 120 starts to work, it first drives the output gear 181 to rotate, and then drives the rotating gear 182 to rotate, thereby driving the camera assembly 130 to rotate.

[0038] In this embodiment, the gearbox cover 190 is in the shape of a cap that is wide in the middle and narrow at both ends. The gearbox cover 190 is located between the camera assembly 130 and the slider 150, and the camera assembly 130 is limit-connected to the gearbox cover 190 through the rotating gear 182. The gearbox cover 190 can completely cover the output gear 181 and the rotating gear 182, so that the output gear 181 and the rotating gear 182 are not exposed to the outside, and it is not easy to generate dust, so as to maintain the cleanliness of the output gear 181 and the rotating gear 182.

[0039] For the above-mentioned camera device 100 that can be lifted and rotated to adjust the angle, through the integrated design of the lifting motor 110 and the motor main body frame 140, and the integrated design of the rotating motor 120 and the slider 150, the lifting and rotation of the camera are realized at the same time, reducing the use of other components. The slider 150 is both the installation bracket for driving the lifting motor 110 and the rotating motor 120 and the installation base for the camera assembly 130. No additional motor frame and fixed platform are required. At the same time, the assembly accuracy and stability are improved, and the overall structure of the camera device 100 that can be lifted and rotated to adjust the angle is simplified.

[0040] In this embodiment, when the camera device 100 that can be lifted and rotated to adjust the angle is in the stopped working state, the lifting motor 110 drives the lead screw 160 to rotate in the first direction, so that the slider 150 moves downward on the lead screw 160 and the guide rod 170 to the bottom position of the motor main body frame 140. The camera assembly 130 moves downward together with the slider 150 into the motor main body frame 140. At this time, the lower surface of the slider 150 is closely attached to the upper surface of the motor mounting bracket 144. The rotating motor 120 stops working, and the camera 131 of the camera assembly 130 is fixed at the first preset angle and no longer rotates.

[0041] In this embodiment, when the camera device 100 that can be lifted and rotated to adjust the angle is in the started working state, the lifting motor 110 drives the lead screw 160 to rotate in the second direction, and the slider 150 moves upward on the lead screw 160 and the guide rod 170 to the top position of the motor main body frame 140. The camera assembly 130 moves upward together with the slider 150, and the camera 131 extends out of the motor main body frame 140. At this time, the upper surface of the gearbox cover 190 is closely attached to the upper wall of the motor main body frame 140. The rotating motor 120 starts to work. The rotating motor 120 drives the output gear 181 to rotate in the third direction, thereby driving the rotating gear 182 to rotate in the fourth direction opposite to the third direction, and then driving the camera assembly 130 to rotate, so that the camera assembly 130 rotates to the second preset angle for shooting.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 5, which is a schematic diagram of the electronic device provided by the utility model embodiment. The utility model embodiment also provides an electronic device 10. The electronic device 10 includes the above-mentioned camera device 100 that can be lifted and rotated to adjust the angle. In this embodiment, the electronic device 10 is a camera, a personal computer, a smart phone, a monitoring device, etc. The camera device 100 that can be lifted and rotated to adjust the angle can be applied to the electronic device 10 for shooting, video recording, monitoring and other behaviors.

[0043] The above-mentioned camera device 100 that can be lifted and rotated to adjust the angle and the electronic device 10 are integrated with the motor and the overall frame, which simplifies the overall structure of the camera device and realizes the functions that the camera can not only be lifted but also rotated at different angles, increasing the intelligence and detectable range of the camera. The design of lifting and rotating the camera device 100 by 360 degrees saves space and effectively protects the privacy of users, making the appearance of the device more concise and tidy, and improving the aesthetics of the product. It is completely hidden when not in use, avoiding the risk of the camera being used by hackers for remote monitoring. This helps to improve the security of the device and protect users from the threat of cyber attacks. Moreover, the camera device 100 that can be lifted and rotated to adjust the angle can be flexibly applied to various scenarios, such as video conferencing, monitoring systems, smart homes, etc., improving the user experience and satisfaction.
