[0030] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0031] Referring to Figure 1 - Figure 2 , an embodiment provided by the present utility model: A multi-functional camera includes a camera base 1. The upper end of the camera base 1 is provided with a body 2. The inside of the camera base 1 is provided with a speaker for playing sound. The center of the bottom surface of the camera base 1 is fixedly connected with a charging terminal 3, and the camera can be charged through the charging terminal 3. A fixed cylinder 4 is provided below the camera base 1.

[0032] Referring to Figure 2 - Figure 4, a sticky pad 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the fixed cylinder 4. The sticky pad 5 can be adhered to the tabletop to fix the fixed cylinder 4. A limiting cylinder 6 is arranged inside the fixed cylinder 4. The camera base 1 is inserted into the inside of the limiting cylinder 6. The limiting cylinder 6 can protect the outside of the camera base 1 and reduce the impact on the camera base 1 from the outside. A rotating unit is arranged below the limiting cylinder 6. The rotating unit includes a fixing plate 61. The fixing plate 61 is fixedly connected inside the fixed cylinder 4. A motor 62 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the inside of the fixed cylinder 4. The top output end of the motor 62 penetrates through the fixing plate 61. The top output end of the motor 62 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the limiting cylinder 6. When the motor 62 is started, it can drive the limiting cylinder 6 to rotate. An annular protective sleeve 7 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the limiting cylinder 6. The annular protective sleeve 7 can shield and protect the upper part of the gap between the limiting cylinder 6 and the inner wall of the fixed cylinder 4, reducing the situation that foreign objects enter the gap and affect the rotation of the limiting cylinder 6.

[0033] A limiting unit is arranged inside the limiting cylinder 6. The limiting unit includes a limiting block 71. The limiting block 71 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface inside the limiting cylinder 6. When the limiting cylinder 6 rotates, it can drive the limiting block 71 to move synchronously. A limiting hole 72 is opened on the bottom surface of the camera base 1. The limiting block 71 is inserted into the inside of the limiting hole 72. When the limiting block 71 is inserted into the inside of the limiting hole 72, it can limit the camera base 1, so that the camera base 1 can rotate synchronously with the limiting cylinder 6, thereby adjusting the monitoring angle of the camera and facilitating the use of the camera. At the same time, the camera base 1 can be directly pulled out and inserted upward from the inside of the limiting cylinder 6, facilitating the mobile use of the camera. A power supply terminal 8 is fixedly connected to the center of the bottom surface inside the limiting cylinder 6. The charging terminal 3 is electrically connected to the power supply terminal 8. When the camera base 1 is completely inserted into the inside of the limiting cylinder 6, the charging terminal 3 and the power supply terminal 8 can be in contact, and at this time, the power supply terminal 8 can charge the camera.

[0034] When the camera needs to be used at a fixed point, the fixed cylinder 4 can be fixed at the required position through the sticky pad 5. Then, the camera base 1 is inserted into the inside of the limiting cylinder 6, and the limiting block 71 is inserted into the inside of the limiting hole 72 to limit the camera base 1. At this time, the charging terminal 3 and the power supply terminal 8 are in contact, which can charge the camera and limit the camera at the same time, avoiding the camera being displaced and falling to the ground and being damaged due to being hit by a pet. When it is necessary to adjust the monitoring angle of the camera, the motor 62 can be started to drive the limiting cylinder 6 to rotate, and the camera base 1 can be driven to rotate and adjust through the cooperation of the arranged limiting unit, and the operation is simple.

[0035] Refer to Figure 3 - Figure 4, a support column 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the limit cylinder 6. The bottom surface of the support column 9 and the upper surface of the fixed plate 61 are on the same horizontal plane, which can limit and support the limit cylinder 6 to keep the limit cylinder 6 stable. The bottom end of the support column 9 is fixedly connected with a hemispherical body 10. An annular groove 11 is formed in the upper surface of the fixed plate 61, and the inner part of the annular groove 11 is slidably connected with the bottom end of the hemispherical body 10. When the limit cylinder 6 rotates to drive the camera to rotate and adjust, it can drive the support column 9 and the hemispherical body 10 to move synchronously. At this time, the hemispherical body 10 can slide inside the annular groove 11 without hindering the rotation of the limit cylinder 6. At the same time, due to the spherical structure of the hemispherical body 10, the contact area with the inner part of the annular groove 11 can be reduced, thereby reducing the frictional resistance suffered by the limit cylinder 6 during rotation and making the rotation of the limit cylinder 6 smoother.

[0036] Working principle: When the camera needs to be used for fixed-point monitoring, the camera base 1 can be inserted into the limit cylinder 6, and the limit block 71 is inserted into the limit hole 72 to limit the camera. At this time, the fixed cylinder 4 and the limit cylinder 6 can limit and protect the camera, reduce the impact on the camera from pets, and at the same time can fix and limit the camera to prevent it from being displaced and falling to the ground and being damaged due to the impact of pets. And the charging terminal 3 is in contact with the power supply terminal 8 to charge the camera. When the camera needs to be rotated and adjusted, the motor 62 can be started to drive the limit cylinder 6 to rotate, and through the cooperation of the limit unit, the camera base 1 is driven to rotate to quickly adjust the monitoring angle of the camera, and the operation is simple. When the limit cylinder 6 rotates, the provided support column 9 and the hemispherical body 10 can limit and support the bottom of the limit cylinder 6 to keep the limit cylinder 6 stable during use and avoid deviation. When the camera needs to be moved for use, it can be directly pulled out upward from the limit cylinder 6, which is convenient for use.

[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, for those skilled in the art, they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
