[0007] The beneficial effects of the present application are as follows. By providing a support on the fuselage, a wire passing channel communicating between the fuselage and the main housing is formed inside the column of the support. The cables inside the fuselage extend into the main housing through this wire passing channel and are electrically connected to the camera. The column can isolate the cables from the outside air, achieve good sealing of the cables, prevent the cables from being eroded by rainwater, and extend the service life. Further, a rotating structure is provided on the support. By the cooperation of the rotating connecting rod and the arc-shaped channel, the main housing can rotate relative to the fuselage to adjust the shooting angle. The rotating connecting rod is connected to the main housing, and the structural connection is stable. Then, the support can not only be provided with a rotating structure but also seal and protect the cables, with a neat and beautiful structure, good waterproof performance, and ingenious structural design.

The arc-shaped channel penetrates through the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate along a first direction.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the column is a hollow sleeve structure inside to form a wire passing channel, with a simple structure and reduced processing technology. The single rotating connecting rod cooperates with both the first connecting plate and the arc-shaped channel on the first connecting plate at the same time, and the rotating connecting rod moves stably and smoothly.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, by setting the cushion block, the top cover has an inclination, and then the rainwater falling on the top cover will slide along the top cover in a direction away from the light-transmitting surface, improving the rain-proof performance of the top cover.

[0018] In some embodiments, the camera device further includes a movable connection structure, and the top cover is connected to the main housing through the movable connection structure; the movable connection structure includes a hook member disposed on the top cover and a corresponding hook seat disposed on the main housing; the hook member is movably hooked to the hook seat.

The hook of the hook member is hooked in the hook groove, and the hook can move in the hook groove so that the top cover can be flipped relative to the main housing within a certain range, thereby facilitating the installation and disassembly of the top cover.

[0020] In some embodiments, a ventilation structure is provided on the main housing; wherein,

[0021] The camera assembly further includes an exhaust fan disposed in the main housing, and the exhaust fan is disposed opposite to the ventilation structure.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the exhaust fan can effectively discharge the internal gas of the main housing to the outside of the main housing, accelerate air circulation, and effectively take away the heat inside the main housing.

[0024] In some embodiments, the camera assembly includes a base frame disposed on the bottom wall inside the main housing and a rotation adjustment assembly disposed on the base frame, the rotation adjustment assembly being used to connect the camera; and the camera can rotate relative to the base frame around a second direction and a third direction respectively through the rotation adjustment assembly, and the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction are perpendicular to each other in pairs.

[0062] In the prior art, some license plate recognition devices include a chassis and a camera rotatably arranged on the chassis. A rotating structure is provided between the camera and the chassis, through which the camera can adjust the shooting angle; and the camera also needs to be electrically connected to the chassis through a cable. The cable between the camera and the chassis is usually wrapped with a plastic hose or even directly exposed in the air, with a messy structure, affecting the overall aesthetics; and the cable is prone to aging due to long-term exposure to wind, sun, rain, and has poor waterproof performance, which is likely to cause safety hazards.

[0063] Based on this, in order to solve the above problems, this application designs a camera device. By setting a support on the body, a wire passing channel communicating between the body and the main housing is formed inside the column of the support. The cable inside the body passes through this wire passing channel to extend into the main housing and be electrically connected to the camera. The column can isolate the cable from the outside air, can achieve good sealing of the cable, prevent the cable from being eroded by rainwater, and extend the service life. And a rotating structure is further provided on the support. By the cooperation of the rotating connecting rod and the arc-shaped channel, the main housing can rotate relative to the body to adjust the shooting angle. The rotating connecting rod is connected to the main housing, and the structural connection is stable; then the support can both set the rotating structure and seal and protect the cable, with a neat and beautiful structure, good waterproof performance, and a clever structural design.

[0064] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5, an embodiment of the present application provides a camera device 100, including a camera assembly 1, a body 2, and a rotating structure 4. The camera assembly 1 includes a main housing 5 and a camera 6 disposed within the main housing 5; a cable 7 for electrically connecting to the camera 6 is provided within the body 2; a support 3 is provided at the top of the body 2; the support 3 includes a column 301 and a connecting wall surface 302 formed at the end of the column 301 close to the main housing 5; the column 301 has a wire passing channel 8 communicating between the body 2 and the main housing 5, and the cable 7 passes through the wire passing channel 8 to extend into the main housing 5; the rotating structure 4 includes an arc-shaped channel 9 provided on the connecting wall surface 302 and a rotating connecting rod 10 movably fitted within the arc-shaped channel 9. The rotating connecting rod 10 is connected to the main housing 5 in the first direction X, and the first direction X is parallel to the axial direction of the column 301.

[0065] Understandably, the camera assembly 1 realizes video shooting through the camera 6. The camera 6 is electrically connected to the body 2 through the cable 7. The body 2 is a device responsible for completing power control, protection, fiber optic network, and video signal conversion and distribution at the end of the video monitoring system. The inside of the body 2 mainly consists of cables, components (including isolating switches, circuit breakers, etc., surge protectors, fiber optic transceivers, power adapters), etc.; the control of the camera assembly 1 by the body 2 can be achieved by any method implemented in the prior art video monitoring system, and this is not elaborated in this embodiment one by one.

[0066] Specifically, the main housing 5 can rotate relative to the body 2 through the rotating structure 4 to achieve angle adjustment. The rotating connecting rod 10 is movably fitted within the arc-shaped channel 9. Then, the rotating connecting rod 10 can move along the arc-shaped channel 9 in an arc-shaped trajectory. The rotating connecting rod 10 is connected to the main housing 5. Then, the main housing 5 will move synchronously with the rotating connecting rod 10, enabling the main housing 5 to rotate relative to the body 2.

[0067] The first direction X is the X direction shown in the figure. The first direction X is parallel to the axial direction of the column 301, that is, the main housing 5 rotates relative to the body 2 around the first direction X.

[0068] Understandably, more than one arc-shaped channel is not limited to being formed on the connecting wall surface 302. Multiple spaced-apart arc-shaped channels 9 can also be formed on the connecting wall surface 302. The number of rotating connecting rods 10 corresponds to the number of arc-shaped channels 9. By multiple rotating connecting rods 10 being movably fitted within the corresponding arc-shaped channels 9, each rotating connecting rod 10 is connected to the main housing 5, and the connection structure is stable, making the rotational movement of the main housing 5 smooth and stable.

[0069] The column 301 is formed with a cable passage 8 that connects the body 2 and the main housing 5. The cable 7 in the body 2 passes through this passage 8 and extends into the main housing 5 to electrically connect with the camera 6. Thus, the cable 7 is hidden within the column 301 and is not exposed to the outside. The column 301 can isolate the cable 7 from the outside, effectively sealing the cable 7 and improving the waterproofness of the device.

[0070] It is understood that the column 301 can be cylindrical or prismatic; furthermore, in one example, the column 301 can be a sleeve structure, with the interior of the column 301 being hollow to form the wire passage 8. A cover plate is provided at the end of the column 301 to form a connecting wall 302, and the arcuate channel 9 is provided on the cover plate. In another example, the column 301 is a solid structure, with the wire passage 8 and the arcuate channel 9 extending through the column 301.

[0071] The camera device 100 of the present application is provided with a support 3 on the body 2. A wire channel 8 is formed in the column 301 of the support 3, which is connected between the body 2 and the main housing 5. The cable 7 in the body 2 extends through the wire channel 8 into the main housing 5 and is electrically connected to the camera 6. The column 301 can isolate the cable 7 from the outside air, and can achieve a good seal for the cable 7, preventing the cable from being corroded by rainwater and extending the service life. In addition, a rotating structure 4 is further provided on the support 3. By rotating the connecting rod 10 and the arc-shaped groove 9, the main housing 5 can be rotated relative to the body 2 to adjust the shooting angle. The rotating connecting rod 10 is connected to the main housing 5, and the structural connection is stable. Therefore, the support 3 can be provided with the rotating structure 4 and can also provide sealing protection for the cable. The structure is neat and beautiful, taking into account waterproofness, and the structural design is ingenious.

[0072] refer to Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 In some embodiments, the column 301 is sleeve-shaped to form a wire-passing channel 8, and the support 3 further includes a first connecting plate 11 and a second connecting plate 12 respectively provided at opposite ends of the column 301; the first connecting plate 11 forms a connecting wall 302, and the second connecting plate 12 is provided at the top of the fuselage 2, and the first connecting plate 11 and the second connecting plate 12 are respectively provided with a through hole 13 connected to the wire-passing channel 8; the arc-shaped groove 9 penetrates the first connecting plate 11 and the second connecting plate 12 along the first direction X.

[0073] Specifically, the column 301 is a hollow sleeve structure that forms the cable passage 8, simplifying the structure and reducing the number of processing steps. The second connecting plate 12 is connected to the top of the fuselage 2. The second connecting plate 12 has a through hole 13, which facilitates the cable 7 to pass through the through hole 13 of the second connecting plate 12 and into the cable passage 8. The first connecting plate 11 also has a through hole 13, which facilitates the cable 7 to pass through the cable passage 8 and out into the main housing 5.

[0074] Reference Figure 4 、 Figure 5 The arc-shaped channel 9 penetrates through the first connecting plate 11 and the second connecting plate 12 in sequence through the connecting wall surface 302, that is, the rotating connecting rod 10 passes through the second connecting plate 12 and the first connecting plate 11 in sequence from inside the fuselage 2 and is connected to the main housing 5; the single rotating connecting rod 10 cooperates with the arc-shaped channel 9 on both the first connecting plate 12 and the first connecting plate at the same time, and the rotating connecting rod 10 moves stably and smoothly, and then the main housing 5 can rotate and adjust smoothly relative to the fuselage 2 around the first direction X.

[0075] Specifically, perforations corresponding to the wire passing channel 8 are provided on the bottom surface of the main housing 5 and the top surface of the fuselage 2 respectively, facilitating the passing of the cable 7.

[0076] Reference Figure 4 、 Figure 5 In some embodiments, the rotating connecting rod 10 includes a main rod 1001 and a limiting portion 1002 provided at the end of the main rod 1001. The main rod 1001 passes through the arc-shaped channels 9 on the second connecting plate 12 and the first connecting plate 11 in sequence and is connected to the main housing 5; the limiting portion 1002 is used for limiting cooperation with the second connecting plate 12.

[0077] Specifically, the rotating connecting rod 10 can be a screw or a bolt. During installation, a single rotating connecting rod 10 passes through the arc-shaped channel 9 on the second connecting plate 12 and the arc-shaped channel 9 on the first connecting plate 11 from the inside of the fuselage 2 upwards in sequence. The protruding part of the main rod 1001 passing through the first connecting plate 11 is connected to the main housing 5, and the limiting portion 1002 can abut against the second connecting plate 11 to prevent the main housing 5 from detaching from the support 3, making the structural connection between the main housing 5 and the fuselage 2 firm.

[0078] In some embodiments, the bottom end of the main housing 5 has a sleeve 14 protruding towards the fuselage 2, and the sleeve 14 is sleeved on the column 301.

[0079] Specifically, the sleeve 14 at the bottom end of the main housing 5 is sleeved outside the column 301. Then, a good airtightness is formed between the main housing 5 and the fuselage 2 through the column 301 and the sleeve 14, which can effectively isolate the cable 7 from the outside and improve the waterproof performance of the device.

[0080] Reference Figures 1-3 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8 In some embodiments, the camera assembly 1 further includes a top cover 15 provided at the top end of the main housing 5; the main housing 5 has a light-transmitting surface 501 for transmitting light, and the top cover 15 is formed with a waterproof eaves 1501 that extends outwards beyond the light-transmitting surface 501.

[0081] Understandably, the top cover 15 is provided at the top end of the main housing 5 to prevent rain from entering the main housing 5, improving the waterproof performance of the device. Moreover, the waterproof eaves 1501 of the top cover 15 extend beyond the light-transmitting surface 501, which can effectively reduce the phenomenon of rain splashing on the light-transmitting surface 501, keeping the camera 6 able to capture clear videos through the light-transmitting surface 501 and improving the rain-proof performance of the device.

[0082] In some embodiments, a glass panel is provided on the main housing 5, and the glass panel forms the light-transmitting surface 501.

[0083] Reference Figure 3 、 Figure 5 Referring to, in some embodiments, the camera device 100 further includes a spacer 16 disposed between the connecting wall surface 302 and the main housing 5. The spacer 16 is configured to make the main housing 5 inclined relative to the connecting wall surface 302, so that one end of the top cover 15 close to the waterproof eaves 1501 is lower than the end of the top cover 15 away from the waterproof eaves 1501; the spacer 16 has a through hole 1601 for the cable 7 to pass through.

[0084] In one example, the connecting wall surface 302 is parallel to the horizontal plane, and the spacer 16 is an inclined block with a slope. By means of the spacer 16, the main housing 5 is inclined relative to the horizontal plane, that is, one end of the bottom of the main housing 5 close to the light-transmitting surface 501 is lower than the end of the bottom of the main housing 5 away from the light-transmitting surface 501. Subsequently, one end of the top cover 15 close to the waterproof eaves 1501 will be lower than the end of the top cover 15 away from the waterproof eaves 1501, making the top cover 15 have a slope. Then, after the rain falls on the top cover 15, it will slide along the top cover 15 in a direction away from the light-transmitting surface 501, and the rain is not likely to splash on the light-transmitting surface 501, improving the rain-blocking performance of the top cover 15.

[0085] Reference Figure 3 Referring to, in some embodiments, the bottom surface of the main housing 5 is a plane, the connecting wall surface 302 is flush with the horizontal plane, and the included angle between the bottom surface of the main housing 5 and the horizontal plane ranges from 2.0° to 10.0°; the included angle between the bottom surface of the main housing 5 and the horizontal plane can specifically be 2.0°, 4.0°, 5.0°, 7.0°, 9.0°, 10.0°; preferably, the included angle between the bottom surface of the main housing 5 and the horizontal plane is 5.0°.

[0086] Reference Figure 3 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8 Referring to, in some embodiments, the camera device 100 further includes a movable connection structure, and the top cover 15 is connected to the main housing 5 through the movable connection structure; the rotational connection structure includes a hook member 17 provided on the top cover 15 and a corresponding hook seat 18 provided on the main housing 5; the hook member 17 is movably hooked to the hook seat 18.

[0087] ReferenceFigure 8 Specifically, a hook 1701 is formed at the end of the hook member 17, and a hook groove 1801 is correspondingly formed in the hook seat 18. The hook 1701 of the hook member 17 is hooked in the hook groove 1801, and the hook 1701 can move in the hook groove 1801 so that the top cover 15 can be flipped relative to the main housing 5 within a certain range, thereby facilitating the installation and disassembly of the top cover 15.

[0088] Reference Figure 7 、 Figure 8 In some embodiments, a positioning portion 19 is further provided on the top cover 15, and a positioning and mating portion 20 is correspondingly provided on the main housing 5; the positioning portion 19 and the positioning and mating portion 20 are in limiting cooperation.

[0089] Specifically, when the top cover 15 is covered on the main housing 5, the positioning portion 19 and the positioning and mating portion 20 can be connected by connection methods such as snap connection, hook connection, and bonding, so that the connection between the top cover 15 and the main housing 5 is stable.

[0090] In some embodiments, the positioning portion 19 and the positioning and mating portion 20 are connected in a limiting manner by a snap connection. One of the positioning portion 19 and the positioning and mating portion 20 includes a buckle, and the other includes a buckle hole. The buckle is snapped into the buckle hole to tightly connect the top cover 15 and the main housing 5.

[0091] Reference Figure 6 In some embodiments, the top end of the main housing 5 has an opening 21, and the camera device 100 further includes a sealing ring 22 surrounding the opening 21, and the top cover 15 presses against the sealing ring 22.

[0092] It can be understood that the top end of the main housing 5 has an opening 21, which is convenient for arranging the camera 6; the sealing ring 22 is clamped between the top cover 15 and the main housing 5, and can form a good sealing effect, improving the waterproof and sealing performance.

[0093] Reference Figure 13 、 Figure 14 In some embodiments, the camera assembly 1 further includes an exhaust fan 23 disposed in the main housing 5, and a ventilation structure 24 is provided on the main housing 5 opposite to the exhaust fan 23.

[0094] It can be understood that by arranging the exhaust fan 23 in the main housing 5, the inside of the main housing 5 can be ventilated and cooled, avoiding serious overheating of the device and prolonging the service life of the machine. And the ventilation structure 24 is arranged facing the exhaust fan 23. Then, when the exhaust fan 23 works, the internal gas of the main housing 5 can be effectively discharged to the outside of the main housing 5, accelerating air circulation and effectively taking away the heat inside the main housing 5.

[0095] In some embodiments, the ventilation structure 24 is a ventilation hole or a ventilation grille provided on the housing; and the shape of the ventilation hole and the arrangement direction of the ventilation grille are not limited, as long as the internal air flow of the main housing 5 can pass through the ventilation structure 24 and communicate with the outside world.

[0096] Reference Figure 14 , in some embodiments, the top cover 15 covers the ventilation structure 24, and there is a gap 25 between the top cover 15 and the main housing 5 for making the ventilation structure 24 communicate with the outside.

[0097] It can be understood that, in order to achieve a better rain shielding effect, the area of the top cover 15 is designed to be relatively large, and there is a phenomenon that the top cover 15 covers the ventilation structure 24. When the top cover 15 covers the ventilation structure 24, there is a preset gap 25 between the top cover 15 and the main housing 5, and the external air flow can pass through this gap 25 and flow through the ventilation structure 24; enabling the internal air flow of the main housing 5 to communicate with the external air flow, ensuring the heat dissipation effect; thereby reducing the phenomenon of condensate formation on the wall surface of the main housing 5.

[0098] Reference Figure 6 、 Figures 9-12 , in some embodiments, the imaging assembly 1 includes a base frame 26 provided on the bottom wall inside the main housing 5 and a rotation adjustment assembly 27 provided on the base frame 26. The rotation adjustment assembly 27 is used to connect the camera 6; and the camera 6 can rotate relative to the base frame 26 around the second direction Y and the third direction Z respectively through the rotation adjustment assembly 27, and the first direction X, the second direction Y, and the third direction Z are perpendicular to each other in pairs.

[0099] Reference Figure 10 、 Figure 11 , specifically, by setting the rotation adjustment assembly 27, the camera 6 can be rotated and adjusted around the second direction Y and the third direction Z respectively; specifically, the first direction X of the present application is parallel to the axial direction of the column 301. In the normal use state, the first direction X is the vertical direction, the second direction Y is perpendicular to the first direction X, and the second direction Y is the left - right direction. Then, when the camera 6 rotates around the second direction Y, that is, the camera 6 adjusts the front - rear pitch angle. The third direction Z is the front - rear direction. Then, when the camera 6 rotates around the third direction Z, that is, the camera 6 adjusts the left - right deflection angle. Then, in addition to adjusting the shooting angle of the camera 6 by rotating the main housing 5, the camera 6 itself can also adjust the angle through the internal rotation adjustment assembly 27. The combination of internal and external angle adjustment enables the camera 6 to perform multi - angle flexible adjustment and improves the shooting range of the camera 6.

[0100] In some embodiments, the rotation adjustment assembly 27 includes a first rotating seat 28 rotatably provided on the base frame 26 and a second rotating seat 29 rotatably provided on the first rotating seat 28; the first rotating seat 28 can be rotationally adjusted relative to the base frame 26 about the third direction Z, and the second rotating seat 29 can be rotationally adjusted relative to the first rotating seat 28 about the second direction Y.

[0101] Understandably, through the cooperation of the base frame 26, the first rotating seat 28 and the second rotating seat 29, the camera 6 can be rotationally adjusted about the front-rear direction and about the left-right direction, the camera 6 has a large adjustment range, and the shooting range is wider.

[0102] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included within the protection scope of the present application.
