[0002] A camera, also known as a computer camera, computer eye, electronic eye, etc., is a video input device that is widely used in video conferencing, telemedicine, real-time monitoring, etc. Currently, most existing cameras have waterproof performance, especially outdoor cameras. Outdoor cameras are often affected by rain. If the waterproof measures of the camera are insufficient, it will cause damage to the camera.

[0003] However, in the prior art, seals or sealants are mostly used to fill the holes and gaps on the camera to achieve the waterproof performance of the camera. Especially around the water-sensitive components in the camera, more seals or sealants are needed for sealing. In this way, more seals or sealants are used in the whole camera, which increases the sealing cost of the camera and makes the manufacturing process of the camera more complicated.

[0004] Therefore, the existing cameras have the defects of high sealing cost and complicated manufacturing process. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] The purpose of the embodiments of this application is to provide a camera that can solve the problems of high sealing cost and complicated manufacturing process of the camera in the related technologies.

[0006] The embodiments of this application provide a camera, including a rotating bracket, a housing, a first device, and a second device. The housing is rotatably connected to the rotating bracket;

[0007] The rotating bracket is provided with a cavity, and the first device is arranged in the cavity;

[0008] The housing is provided with a sealed chamber, the second device is located in the sealed chamber, the second device includes a lens, and a light-transmitting member is arranged on the housing, and the lens is arranged opposite to the light-transmitting member.

[0009] In the embodiments of this application, the second device is arranged in the sealed chamber, that is, the water-sensitive device is arranged in the sealed chamber, and water vapor is not easy to enter the sealed chamber to contact the second device, realizing the waterproofing of the second device, that is, realizing the waterproofing of the water-sensitive device. And the first device is arranged in the cavity on the rotating bracket, which can spatially isolate the first device to avoid the first device contacting with water vapor or reducing the degree of contact between the first device and water vapor. With this arrangement, there is no need to use seals or sealants to seal the first device and the second device again, which can effectively reduce the amount of seals or sealants used, thereby reducing the sealing cost, and can simplify the sealing operation, and further simplify the manufacturing process of the camera.

[0038] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art belong to the scope of protection of the present application.

[0039] The terms "first", "second", etc. in the description and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects, rather than to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of this application can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described here, and the objects distinguished by "first", "second", etc. are usually of the same type, and the number of objects is not limited. For example, the first object can be one or multiple. In addition, "and / or" in the description and claims means at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates an "or" relationship between the associated objects before and after.

[0040] The following will combine the accompanying drawings to elaborate in detail on the camera provided by the embodiments of this application through specific embodiments and their application scenarios.

[0041] Refer to Figures 1 - 16 , a camera provided by an embodiment of this application may include a rotating bracket 100, a housing 200, a first device 500, and a second device 600.

[0042] Among them, the rotating bracket 100 may be provided with a cavity 130, and the first device 500 may be disposed in the cavity 130. In this way, the first device 500 can be spatially isolated to prevent water vapor from directly impacting the first device 500, thereby avoiding the contact between the first device 500 and water vapor, or reducing the degree of contact between the first device 500 and water vapor, achieving the waterproofing of the first device 500.

[0043] In addition, the housing 200 may be provided with a sealed chamber 201, and the second device 600 may be located in the sealed chamber 201. Here, the second device 600 may be a water-sensitive device. In this way, by sealing the second device 600 in the sealed chamber 201, water vapor is not easily introduced into the sealed chamber 201 to contact the second device 600, achieving the waterproofing of the second device 600, which is conducive to extending the service life of the second device 600.

[0044] With such a setting, there is no need to use seals or sealants to seal the first device 500 and the second device 600 again, which can effectively reduce the usage amount of seals or sealants, thereby effectively reducing the sealing cost, and can simplify the sealing operation, and further simplify the manufacturing process of the camera. In addition, integrating the first device 500 on the rotating bracket 100 and the second device 600 in the sealed chamber 201 can effectively improve the space utilization rate of the camera.

[0045] Here, the first device 500 can be a device with a lower moisture sensitivity level. The first device 500 can maintain normal operation in a relatively humid environment. The second device 600 can be a device with a higher moisture sensitivity level. Specifically, the moisture sensitivity level of the first device 500 is less than that of the second device 600. It should be noted that the moisture sensitivity level refers to MSL (Moisture Sensitivity Level), which is a grading system used to classify humidity-sensitive SMD components. The purpose of this grading system is to ensure that different types of components can be properly packaged, stored, and handled, thereby avoiding accidents during assembly or repair. The MSL grades range from 1 to 6. The smaller the number, the lower the risk of damage caused by volume expansion due to water evaporation. This means that components with a lower grade can be exposed to a humid environment for a longer time, while components with a higher grade require stricter humidity control and shorter exposure times.

[0046] Optionally, the second device 600 can include a lens 611. A light-transmitting member 240 can be provided on the housing 200. The lens 611 and the light-transmitting member 240 can be disposed opposite to each other. In this way, the light-transmitting member 240 can provide a viewing window for the lens 611 to ensure that the lens 611 can capture the external environment. And the housing 200 is rotatably connected to the rotating bracket 100. In this way, the housing 200 can rotate relative to the rotating bracket 100, so that the lens 611 can be rotated in at least one direction, and thus images at different positions can be captured.

[0047] In an alternative embodiment of the present application, the second device 600 can include an imaging assembly 610, a main board 620, and a vertical motor 630. The vertical motor 630 can be used to drive the housing 200 to rotate in the vertical direction to achieve the up-and-down rotation of the lens 611. The imaging assembly 610 can include the above-mentioned lens 611. Of course, the second device 600 can also include other water-sensitive components. In this way, the key circuits and devices can be integrated within the housing 200, thereby improving the waterproof performance of the key circuit devices of the camera. Here, the imaging assembly 610 can further include an imaging circuit board 612, and the lens 611 can be disposed on the imaging circuit board 612.

[0048] Optionally, connection holes 221 may be provided on the housing 200. The vertical motor 630 may be connected to the rotating bracket 100 through a rotating shaft 631. The rotating shaft 631 may pass through the connection holes 221, and a first dynamic seal 260 may be provided between the rotating shaft 631 and the hole wall of the connection holes 221. In this way, both the sealing between the rotating shaft 631 and the hole wall of the connection holes 221 can be achieved, and the relative rotation between the housing 200 and the rotating shaft 631 can be realized, which can effectively reduce the resistance during the rotation of the housing 200, thereby reducing the load of the vertical motor 630, increasing the torque of the vertical motor 630, and prolonging the service life of the vertical motor 630.

[0049] Here, in one way, the rotating shaft 631 may be the motor shaft of the vertical motor 630. In another way, the rotating shaft 631 may be a transmission shaft, and the transmission shaft is in transmission connection with the motor shaft of the vertical motor 630.

[0050] In this embodiment, the first dynamic seal 260 may be an oil seal ring. Of course, other dynamic seal forms may also be adopted, which can be specifically set according to actual needs.

[0051] In other embodiments, a static seal ring 230 may also be used to seal between the rotating shaft 631 and the hole wall of the connection holes 221.

[0052] In an alternative embodiment, the camera may further include a cable. An inlet 222 may be provided on the housing 200, and a sealing plug 270 may be provided at the inlet 222. One end of the cable may pass through the sealing plug 270 and be connected to the main board 620, and the other end of the cable may be used to connect to a power supply component. In this way, the sealing performance of the housing 200 can be improved, and further the waterproof effect of the second device 600 can be improved. Of course, the sealing plug 270 may not be provided at the inlet 222.

[0053] In addition, a shroud 223 may be provided on the chamber wall of the sealed chamber 201. The shroud 223 may be arranged around the inlet 222, and the cable and the shroud 223 may be connected by a first sealant. In this way, it is beneficial to improve the stability of the cable fixation, and also beneficial to increase the amount of the first sealant, and further beneficial to improve the sealing performance between the cable and the sealing plug 270.

[0054] Of course, the shroud 223 may not be provided on the chamber wall of the sealed chamber 201.

[0055] In an alternative embodiment, a first through-hole 211 may be provided on the housing 200. The light-transmitting member 240 may be installed in the first through-hole 211. An annular boss 212 may be provided on the inner wall of the first through-hole 211. The annular boss 212 may be located on the side of the light-transmitting member 240 facing away from the sealing chamber 201, and the annular boss 212 and the light-transmitting member 240 may be connected by a second sealant. In this way, the annular boss 212 can limit the light-transmitting member 240 to prevent the light-transmitting member 240 from coming out of the first through-hole 211, and the second sealant can seal the gap between the light-transmitting member 240 and the annular boss 212 and fix the light-transmitting member 240 to improve the sealing performance between the light-transmitting member 240 and the housing 200 and the fixing stability of the light-transmitting member 240. Here, the light-transmitting member 240 may be a lens or made of ordinary light-transmitting glass.

[0056] In other embodiments, the annular boss 212 may not be provided on the inner wall of the first through-hole 211.

[0057] Optionally, an overflow groove 216 may be formed between the annular boss 212 and the inner wall of the first through-hole 211. The notch of the overflow groove 216 may face the light-transmitting member 240. In this way, after applying the glue liquid on the annular boss 212 and pressing the light-transmitting member 240 onto the annular boss 212, the excess glue liquid can flow into the overflow groove 216, which can prevent the glue liquid from flowing out of the inner hole of the annular boss 212 or prevent the glue liquid from flowing too much towards the center of the light-transmitting member 240 and soiling the light-transmitting member 240. Of course, the overflow groove 216 may not be provided between the annular boss 212 and the inner wall of the first through-hole 211.

[0058] It should be noted that the glue liquid can form a first sealant after solidification.

[0059] In an alternative embodiment, a second through-hole 213 may also be provided on the housing 200. A light-transmitting cover 250 may be provided in the second through-hole 213, and the second device 600 may further include a light-emitting element. The light-emitting element may be opposite to the light-transmitting cover 250. In this way, the light-emitting element can illuminate the external environment of the housing 200 through the light-transmitting cover 250 to provide fill light for the shooting of the lens 611. Of course, the second through-hole 213 may not be provided on the housing 200, and the second device 600 may not include a light-emitting element.

[0060] Moreover, the light-transmitting cover 250 and the inner wall of the second through-hole 213 may be sealed and connected. In this way, the sealing performance of the housing 200 can be further improved.

[0061] Specifically, protrusions 214 may be provided on the inner wall of the second through-hole 213. The protrusions 214 may be provided at one end of the second through-hole 213 facing away from the sealing chamber 201. A connecting convex portion 251 may be provided on the light-transmitting cover 250. The connecting convex portion 251 and the protrusions 214 are in limiting cooperation in a direction away from the sealing chamber 201, and the connecting convex portion 251 and the protrusions 214 are connected by a third sealant. In this way, the stability of the connection between the light-transmitting cover 250 and the housing 200 can be improved, and the sealing performance between the light-transmitting cover 250 and the inner wall of the second through-hole 213 can also be improved, thereby improving the sealing performance of the housing 200.

[0062] Here, the protrusions 214 may be in an annular structure, and a part of the light-transmitting cover 250 is located in the inner hole of the annular structure to facilitate the light of the light-emitting element to be emitted.

[0063] Optionally, the light-emitting element may be provided on the imaging circuit board 612 of the imaging assembly 610. Of course, the second device 600 may also include a light-emitting circuit board, the light-emitting circuit board may be electrically connected to the main board 620, and the light-emitting element may be provided on the light-emitting circuit board.

[0064] Further optionally, at least two light-transmitting members 240 may be provided on the housing 200, and the imaging assembly 610 may include at least two lenses 611. In this way, the monitoring area can be effectively enlarged, and the monitoring dead angle can be reduced, thereby improving the comprehensiveness and security of monitoring. In addition, at least two light-transmitting covers 250 may be provided on the housing 200, and the second device 600 may include at least two light-emitting elements. Each lens 611 is disposed opposite to each light-transmitting member 240, each light-emitting element may be disposed adjacent to each lens 611 respectively, and each light-transmitting cover 250 may be disposed adjacent to each light-transmitting member 240 respectively to provide fill light for the shooting of each lens 611.

[0065] In this embodiment, three light-transmitting members 240 may be provided on the housing 200, the imaging assembly 610 may include three lenses 611, three light-transmitting covers 250 may be provided on the housing 200, and the second device may include three light-emitting elements.

[0066] In an alternative embodiment of the present application, the housing 200 may include a first housing 210, a second housing 220, and a sealing ring 230. The docking of the first housing 210 and the second housing 220 may form a sealed chamber 201. An annular sealing groove 225 may be provided on one of the first housing 210 and the second housing 220, and an annular convex portion 215 may be provided on the other. The sealing ring 230 may be located within the annular sealing groove 225, and the annular convex portion 215 may be embedded within the annular sealing groove 225 and abutted against the sealing ring 230. In this way, the annular convex portion 215 may squeeze the sealing ring 230 to provide a pre-tightening force and a compression amount for the sealing ring 230, thereby improving the sealing performance between the first housing 210 and the second housing 220, and thus improving the sealing performance of the housing 200.

[0067] In other embodiments, neither the annular sealing groove 225 nor the annular convex portion 215 may be provided on both the first housing 210 and the second housing 220. Specifically, the sealing ring 230 may be located between the first housing 210 and the second housing 220, and the first housing 210 and the second housing 220 may directly clamp the sealing ring 230.

[0068] In an alternative embodiment of the present application, the first device 500 may include a horizontal motor 510 and a limit switch 520. The horizontal motor 510 may be used to drive the rotary bracket 100 to rotate in the horizontal direction to achieve the horizontal rotation of the housing 200. The limit switch 520 may be communicatively connected to the horizontal motor 510 and the vertical motor 630 to limit the horizontal rotation angle and the vertical rotation angle of the rotary bracket 100, and thus for the movement angle of the camera to prevent it from over-rotating or colliding with other components. The cavity 130 may include a first chamber 131 and a second chamber 132. The first chamber 131 and the second chamber 132 may be spaced apart. The horizontal motor 510 may be disposed within the first chamber 131, and the limit switch 520 may be disposed within the second chamber 132. In this way, relative isolation in space between the limit switch 520 and the horizontal motor 510 can be achieved, thereby avoiding interference between the limit switch 520 and the horizontal motor 510, and when one of them is exposed to a large amount of water vapor, it is not likely to affect the other.

[0069] It should be noted that both the horizontal motor 510 and the limit switch 520 themselves have a certain waterproof function. In addition to the horizontal motor 510 and the limit switch 520, the first device 500 may also include other devices with a certain waterproof function.

[0070] In other embodiments, the horizontal motor 510 and the limit switch 520 may be located within the same chamber.

[0071] In an alternative embodiment, the rotating bracket 100 may include a bracket body 110 and a bracket cover plate 120. The bracket cover plate 120 may be located between the housing 200 and the bracket body 110, and the bracket cover plate 120 is detachably connected to the bracket body 110. A first chamber 131 and a second chamber 132 may be formed between the bracket cover plate 120 and the bracket body 110. In this way, it is convenient to disassemble and assemble the first device 500 and to perform maintenance on the first device 500. Optionally, the bracket body 110 and the bracket cover plate 120 may be connected by fixing members such as screws, and both the horizontal motor 510 and the limit switch 520 may be connected to the bracket body 110 by fixing members such as screws.

[0072] In other embodiments, the bracket body 110 and the bracket cover plate 120 may also be non-detachably connected. Specifically, the bracket body 110 and the bracket cover plate 120 may be of an integral structure, or the bracket body 110 and the bracket cover plate 120 may be connected by a sealant.

[0073] Here, the housing 200 is rotatably connected to the bracket body 110. Specifically, a rotating member 224 may be provided on the housing 200, and a rotating hole 113 may be provided on the bracket body 110. The rotating member 224 is rotatably connected to the rotating hole 113. Moreover, the rotating member 224 is coaxially arranged with the rotating shaft 631 described above to ensure that the housing 200 can rotate vertically relative to the bracket body 110.

[0074] It should be noted that the vertical motor 630 is relatively fixed to the housing 200 to ensure that the vertical motor 6�0 can drive the housing 200 to rotate vertically.

[0075] Optionally, in order to prevent the rotating shaft 631 from rotating relative to the bracket body 110, a limiting groove 112 is provided on the bracket body 110, and the rotating shaft 631 and the limiting groove 112 are in limiting cooperation in the circumferential direction of the rotating shaft 631. In this way, the relative rotation of the motor body of the vertical motor 630 and the rotating shaft 631 can realize the relative rotation of the housing 200 and the bracket body 110.

[0076] In an alternative embodiment, a notch 116 may be provided on the bracket body 110. The notch 116 may be used to provide a rotating space for the housing 200 to prevent the bracket body 110 from hindering the rotation of the housing 200.

[0077] Moreover, the rotating bracket 100 may further include a first water baffle 111. The first water baffle 111 may be located between the bracket body 110 and the housing 200, and the first water baffle 111 may block a part of the notch 116. In this embodiment, the first water baffle 111 may be located above the housing 200. The first water baffle 111 may prevent water vapor from entering between the housing 200 and the rotating bracket 100 from the upper part of the notch 116. Optionally, the first water baffle 111 may be vertically arranged. In this way, the first water baffle 111 may also play a role in draining the water vapor, so that the water vapor can flow downward.

[0078] In other embodiments, the rotating bracket 100 may not include the first water baffle 111.

[0079] Optionally, a second water baffle 121 may be provided on the bracket cover 120. The second water baffle 121 may be the chamber wall of the first chamber 131 facing the notch 116. In this way, the second water baffle 121 may play a role in blocking the water vapor to prevent the water vapor entering from the notch 116 from entering the first chamber 131.

[0080] Here, the second water baffle 121 may be vertically arranged. In this way, the second water baffle 121 may play a role in draining the water vapor, so that the water vapor can flow downward to further prevent the water vapor from entering the first chamber 131.

[0081] Certainly, the bracket cover 120 may not be provided with the second water baffle 121, that is, the chamber wall of the first chamber 131 facing the notch 116 may not be the second water baffle 121. Specifically, in the vertically downward direction, the first chamber 131 may not protrude from the bracket cover 120.

[0082] Alternatively, the second water baffle 121 may not be the chamber wall of the first chamber 131 facing the notch 116. The second water baffle 121 may be located on the side of the first chamber 131 facing the notch 116, and the second water baffle 121 may be spaced apart from the chamber wall of the first chamber 131.

[0083] In an alternative embodiment of the present application, the camera may further include a mounting bracket 300. The mounting bracket 300 may include a bracket body 310 and a housing 320. The housing 320 may be located above the bracket body 310. The housing 320 may be used to enclose the bracket body 310, and a rotating connection portion 340 may be provided on the bracket body 310. The rotating bracket 100 is rotatably connected to the rotating connection portion 340 to achieve the rotational connection between the rotating bracket 100 and the bracket body 310.

[0084] Optionally, a second dynamic seal 140 may be provided between the rotating bracket 100 and the rotating connection portion 340. This allows for a rotational seal between the rotating bracket 100 and the mounting bracket 300, thereby preventing moisture from entering the rotating bracket 100 through the gap between the rotating bracket 100 and the mounting bracket 300. Of course, the second dynamic seal 140 may not be provided between the rotating bracket 100 and the rotating connection portion 340.

[0085] Here, the second dynamic seal 140 may be a rotating silicone ring, or other devices capable of achieving dynamic sealing.

[0086] Further optionally, a third water baffle 330 may be provided on the frame 310. The third water baffle 330 may be located on a side of the frame 310 facing away from the rotating connection portion 340. The rotating connection portion 340 is provided with a threading hole 341 for passing the cables described above. The third water baffle 330 may be provided around the threading hole 341 to prevent moisture from entering the rotating bracket 100 through the threading hole 341. In this way, when moisture enters the mounting bracket 300, the third water baffle 330 may block the moisture and prevent the moisture from flowing directly through the threading hole 341 to the housing 200.

[0087] Of course, the frame 310 may not be provided with the third water baffle 330 .

[0088] In some embodiments, the horizontal motor 510 can be connected to the rotating connection part 340 through a transmission assembly. The transmission assembly may include a driving wheel 114 and a driven wheel 115 engaged with the driving wheel 114. The driving wheel 114 can be connected to the motor shaft of the horizontal motor 510, and the driven wheel 115 can be connected to the rotating connection part 340. In this way, the rotation of the horizontal motor 510 can drive the driving wheel 114 to rotate around the driven wheel 115, thereby realizing the horizontal rotation of the rotating bracket 100.

[0089] In an optional embodiment, the camera may further include an outer cover 400, which may be arranged outside the rotating bracket 100 and the shell 200, and the outer cover 400 may be connected to the rotating bracket 100. In this way, the outer cover 400 may provide certain protection and waterproofing for the rotating bracket 100 and the shell 200, thereby further improving the waterproof performance of the camera.

[0090] Here, the outer cover 400 may be provided with a camera opening 430 , and the camera opening 430 may be used to expose the light-transmitting member 240 of the housing 200 to ensure that the lens 611 can capture the external environment.

[0091] Optionally, drain holes 421 may be provided on the outer cover 400. The drain holes 421 may be arranged away from the rotating bracket 100. Specifically, the drain holes 421 may be located at the bottom of the outer cover 400. In this way, the moisture and water inside the camera can be discharged through the drain holes 421, and water accumulation inside the camera can be avoided.

[0092] Of course, drain holes 421 may not be provided on the outer cover 400 either.

[0093] Further optionally, the outer cover 400 may include a first cover shell 410 and a second cover shell 420. A first notch 431 may be provided on the first cover shell 410, and a second notch 432 may be provided on the second cover shell 420. The tops of both the first cover shell 410 and the second cover shell 420 may be connected to the rotating bracket 100, and the first cover shell 410 and the second cover shell 420 are butt-jointed. The butting of the first notch 431 and the second notch 432 may form the imaging opening 430 described above.

[0094] Here, drain holes 421 may be provided on at least one of the first cover shell 410 and the second cover shell 420.

[0095] During the use of the camera, most of the external water is blocked by the outer cover 400. After a small part of the water enters the outer cover 400, it will first be blocked by the first water baffle 111 of the rotating bracket 100. If some moisture still enters the rotating bracket 100 through the notch 116 of the bracket main body 110, the second water baffle 121 on the bracket cover plate 120 can block the moisture, so as to prevent the moisture from entering the first chamber 131 and causing the horizontal motor 510 to come into contact with the moisture. And both the first water baffle 111 and the second water baffle 121 can drain the moisture, making the moisture flow vertically downward to flow to the drain holes 421 and be discharged from the drain holes 421.

[0096] In addition, when moisture enters the mounting bracket 300 through the gap of the mounting bracket 300, the third water baffle inside the mounting bracket 300 can prevent the moisture from flowing into the rotating bracket 100 and the housing 200 through the wire passing hole 341. Even if a small part of the moisture crosses the third water baffle 330 and enters the rotating bracket 100, since the third water baffle 330 has relieved most of the water pressure, the moisture entering the rotating bracket 100 can also directly fall and be discharged from the device through the drain holes 421.

[0097] To sum up, the impact pressure of the moisture can be directly relieved by the first water baffle 111, the second water baffle 121 and the third water baffle 330, effectively isolating the components outside the housing 200 from the moisture.

[0098] The embodiments of the present application have been described above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present application is not limited to the above specific embodiments. The above specific embodiments are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Under the inspiration of the present application, those of ordinary skill in the art can also make many forms without departing from the purpose of the present application and the scope protected by the claims, and all of them belong to the protection scope of the present application.
