DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present application more clearly understood, the specific embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following description sets forth many specific details to facilitate a full understanding of the present application. However, the present application can be implemented in many other ways than those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without violating the scope of the present application. Therefore, the present application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0034] See Figures 1 to 3 The camera device 1 in one embodiment of the present application can at least achieve flexible adjustment of the camera setting angle, and has a simple structure and reliable connection. Specifically, the camera device 1 includes a mounting mechanism 10, a first camera 20, and a second camera 30. The first camera 20 and the second camera 30 are both mounted on the mounting mechanism 10, and the mounting mechanism 10 can achieve adjustment of the setting angle of the first camera 20 relative to the second camera 30.

[0035] In one embodiment, a mounting mechanism 10 is used to mount and fix an imaging element. The mounting mechanism 10 includes a mounting body 100, a carrier 200, a connector 300, and an angle adjustment member 410. The first camera 20 is mounted within the mounting body 100, and the second camera 30 is mounted within the carrier 200. One end of the connector 300 is connected to the mounting body 100, and the other end is connected to one end of the angle adjustment member 410. The angle adjustment member 410 is rotatable relative to the connector 300 about a first axis a. The carrier 200 is provided with a swing mounting portion 210, which is connected to the other end of the angle adjustment member 410. The swing mounting portion 210 drives the carrier 200 to swing relative to the angle adjustment member 410 about a second axis b. The first axis a and the second axis b intersect.

[0036] Because the swing mounting portion 210 on the supporting member 200 is rotatably connected to the angle adjustment member 410 and can swing about the second axis b, the supporting member 200 can swing relative to the angle adjustment member 410. The installation body 100 is rotatably connected to the angle adjustment member 410 via the connecting member 300 and can rotate about the first axis a, so that the supporting member 200 can rotate about the first axis a relative to the installation body 100 through the angle adjustment member 410 and the connecting member 300. The connecting member 300 and the angle adjustment member 410 not only achieve the installation connection between the supporting member 200 and the installation body 100, but also enable the supporting member 200 to move relative to the installation body 100 about the first axis a and the second axis b, thereby facilitating the angle adjustment of the supporting member 200. Since the first camera 20 is installed in the installation body 100 and the second camera 30 is installed in the supporting member 200, the angle adjustment of the second camera 30 relative to the first camera 20 is facilitated. The mounting mechanism 10 achieves rotational adjustment of the supporting member 200 on two axes through the connecting member 300 and the angle adjusting member 410 . The connection adjustment structure is simple and the connection is stable and reliable.

[0037] In one embodiment, the mounting mechanism 10 further includes an elastic mounting member 420. The connector 300 has a rotational engagement portion 310 and a connection portion 320 at either end. The connection portion 320 is connected to the mounting body 100. A rotation hole 330 is defined in one of the rotational engagement portion 310 and the angle adjustment member 410, while the other is provided with an elastic mounting member 420. The elastic mounting member 420 is capable of being inserted into the rotation hole 330 and elastically abutting against the inner wall of the rotation hole 330. The elastic mounting member 420 is capable of rotating within the rotation hole 330 under load about the axis of the rotation hole 330, where the first axis a is the axis of the rotation hole 330. Due to the elastic force between the elastic mounting member 420 and the inner wall of the rotation hole 330, the angle adjustment member 410 does not rotate relative to the connector 300 when no external force is applied. This ensures that the second camera 30 does not move relative to the first camera 20 when no external force is applied, thus ensuring the reliability of the second camera 30 installation. The camera device 1 achieves an adjustable connection between the first camera 20 and the second camera 30 by cooperating with the elastic mounting member 420 and the rotating hole 330 . Meanwhile, the connection structure is simple and the connection is stable and reliable.

[0038] In one embodiment, the rotation hole 330 may be provided on the angle adjustment member 410 , and the elastic mounting member 420 is provided on the rotation fitting portion 310 of the connecting member 300 .

[0039] See Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 In this embodiment, the rotation hole 330 is opened on the rotation matching portion 310, the elastic mounting member 420 is set on the angle adjustment member 410, and the elastic mounting member 420 and the angle adjustment member 410 form an adjustment unit 400.

[0040] Specifically, the outer wall of the mounting body 100 defines a socket 110, into which the connecting portion 320 is inserted. The connecting member 300 is a cylindrical structure, and the connecting member 300 is coaxially arranged with the socket 110. By inserting the connecting portion 320 into the socket 110, the installation process is simplified. In other embodiments, the connecting portion 320 can also be directly fixed to the outer wall of the mounting body 100.

[0041] Specifically, the adjustment unit 400 is a cylindrical structure, and the elastic mounting member 420 is inserted into the rotation hole 330 of the connecting member 300. The axis of the adjustment unit 400 is aligned with the first axis a and is perpendicular to the axis of the connecting member 300, and the second axis b is perpendicular to the axis of the adjustment unit 400. By configuring both the connecting member 300 and the adjustment unit 400 as cylindrical structures, connection is facilitated and the second camera 30 is positioned outside the first camera 20, making adjustment easier.

[0042] In one embodiment, the elastic mounting member 420 includes at least two first elastic pieces 422, each of which is spaced apart around the axis of the rotation hole 330. One side of each first elastic piece 422 is connected to the angle adjustment member 410, and each first elastic piece 422 elastically abuts against the inner wall of the rotation hole 330. The spacing between the first elastic pieces 422 provides space for elastic deformation of the first elastic pieces 422, ensuring that each first elastic piece 422 can be inserted into the rotation hole 330 and abut against the inner wall of the rotation hole 330, thereby improving connection reliability.

[0043] In another embodiment, the elastic mounting member 420 is a hollow cylinder, one end of which is connected to the angle adjustment member 410. The outer wall of the elastic mounting member 420 is provided with at least two movable grooves 424 spaced apart around the axis of the elastic mounting member 420. Each movable groove 424 penetrates the inner wall of the elastic mounting member 420 and the end surface of the elastic mounting member 420 facing away from the angle adjustment member 410. The movable grooves 424 separate the elastic mounting member 420 into at least two first elastic pieces 422, each of which elastically abuts against the inner wall of the rotation hole 330. The movable grooves 424 provide space for the movement of the first elastic pieces 422, ensuring that the first elastic pieces 422 can be stably inserted into the rotation hole 330.

[0044] In this embodiment, the first elastic piece 422 is an arc-shaped piece. One of the arc-shaped edges of the first elastic piece 422 is connected to the angle adjustment member 410, and the outer wall of the first elastic piece 422 is capable of abutting against the inner wall of the rotation hole 330. By configuring the first elastic piece 422 as an arc-shaped piece, it is more stably abutted against the inner wall of the rotation hole 330, thereby improving the reliability of the connection and rotation of the angle adjustment member 410 relative to the connecting member 300. In other embodiments, the first elastic piece 422 can also have other shapes, as long as it can achieve the connection and rotation between the connecting member 300 and the angle adjustment member 410.

[0045] In one embodiment, a limiting step 426 is provided on the end of the first elastic piece 422 away from the angle adjustment member 410. The limiting step 426 protrudes from the outer wall of the first elastic piece 422. The rotational engagement portion 310 defines a limiting groove 340 at one end of the rotation hole 330. After the elastic mounting member 420 is inserted into the rotation hole 330, the limiting step 426 protrudes from the inner wall of the rotation hole 330 in a radial direction away from the axis of the rotation hole 330 and engages with the limiting groove 340. By providing the limiting step 426 with an engagement with the limiting groove 340, the angle adjustment member 410 can be effectively and stably connected to the connector 300 and prevent it from falling off.

[0046] Specifically, the outer diameter of the elastic mounting member 420 is greater than or equal to the diameter of the rotation hole 330. There are two first elastic pieces 422, and the spacing between the opposing sides of the two first elastic pieces 422 is greater than twice the width of the limiting step 426. The width of the limiting step 426 is in the radial direction of the rotation hole 330. When the elastic mounting member 420 is inserted into the rotation hole 330, the limiting step 426 must pass through the rotation hole 330. Therefore, when there are two first elastic pieces 422, when the two first elastic pieces 422 are deformed and abut against each other, the outer diameter of the limiting step 426 can be less than or equal to the diameter of the rotation hole 330. When the limiting step 426 passes through the rotation hole 330 and fits into the limiting groove 340, the elastic deformation of the first elastic piece 422 allows the limiting step 426 to fit into the limiting groove 340, thereby limiting the movement of the elastic mounting member 420 along the axis of the rotation hole 330.

[0047] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the adjustment unit 400 is an integrally formed structure, that is, the elastic mounting member 420 is integrally formed on the angle adjustment member 410, so that the overall structure of the adjustment unit 400 is more stable and reliable. Specifically, the limiting step 426 is integrally formed on the outer wall of the elastic mounting member 420.

[0048] See Figure 2 、 Figures 4 to 6 In one embodiment, the angle adjustment member 410 is provided with a rotation slot 430 and a first connecting hole 430 extending through the rotation slot 430. The axis of the first connecting hole 430 intersects the axis of the rotation hole 330. The swing mounting portion 210 is provided with a second connecting hole 220. The swing mounting portion 210 is disposed within the rotation slot 430, and the second connecting hole 220 is coaxially connected to the first connecting hole 430. The mounting mechanism 10 further includes a connecting shaft disposed within the first connecting hole 430 and the second connecting hole 220, with the second axis b being the axis of the first connecting hole 430. The provision of the rotation slot 430 provides swing space for the swing mounting portion 210. By disposing the connecting shaft within the first connecting hole 430 and the second connecting hole 220, the support member 200 can effectively swing relative to the angle adjustment member 410 about the second axis b. In this embodiment, the connecting shaft can be a pin, a screw, or other structure.

[0049] In other embodiments, the connecting shaft can be directly fixed to the swing mounting portion 210 and the second connecting hole 220 can be omitted. Alternatively, the connecting shaft can be divided into two sections, which are respectively fixed to the two opposite inner walls of the rotating groove 430, and the two connecting shaft sections are respectively inserted into the second connecting hole 220.

[0050] See Figure 2 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8In one embodiment, the connecting portion 320 includes at least two second elastic pieces 322, each spaced apart around the axis of the insertion hole 110. One side of each second elastic piece 322 is connected to the rotational engagement portion 310. A locking step 324 is provided on the outer wall of the second elastic piece 322, away from the rotational engagement portion 310. When the connecting portion 320 is inserted into the insertion hole 110, the rotational engagement portion 310 abuts the outer wall of the installation body 100 where the insertion hole 110 is defined, and the locking step 324 abuts the inner wall of the installation body 100 where the insertion hole 110 is defined. The provision of the second elastic piece 322 and the locking step 324 allows the locking step 324 to be passed through the insertion hole 110 from the outside of the installation body 100 and abut against the inner wall of the insertion hole 110, facilitating installation and connection. In this embodiment, the second elastic piece 322 elastically abuts against the inner wall of the insertion hole 110, improving connection reliability.

[0051] Furthermore, a first retaining structure is provided on the outer wall of the connecting portion 320, and a second retaining structure is provided on the inner wall of the insertion hole 110. The first retaining structure and the second retaining structure cooperate to provide a retaining relationship. In this embodiment, the first retaining structure is a retaining protrusion, and the second retaining structure is a retaining groove. The retaining protrusion can be inserted into the retaining groove. The provision of the first and second retaining structures prevents the connector 300 from rotating relative to the mounting body 100, ensuring a reliable connection. In other embodiments, the first and second retaining structures may be omitted.

[0052] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, a mounting cavity is formed within the mounting body 100, a bearing cavity is formed within the bearing member 200, and the swing mounting portion 210, angle adjustment member 410, and connector 300 all have hollow interiors. The mounting cavity communicates with the bearing cavity through the spaces within the swing mounting portion 210, angle adjustment member 410, and connector 300. Since the first camera 20 is mounted within the mounting cavity and the second camera 30 is mounted within the bearing cavity, the hollow interiors of the swing mounting portion 210, angle adjustment member 410, and connector 300 facilitate threading of the second camera 30 into the mounting cavity, or the first camera 20 into the bearing cavity.

[0053] In this embodiment, the first camera 20 is a main camera and the second camera 30 is a secondary camera. In other embodiments, the first camera 20 can also be a secondary camera and the second camera 30 can be a main camera.

[0054] In one embodiment, the number of carriers 200, angle adjustment members 410, and connectors 300 is the same and at least two. Each carrier 200 is used to mount a second camera 30. Each carrier 200 is connected to the mounting body 100 via an angle adjustment member 410 and a connector 300, so that the second cameras 30 are spaced apart circumferentially around the first camera 20. In this embodiment, when there are at least two second cameras 30, the number of carriers 200, angle adjustment members 410, and connectors 300 is the same as the number of second cameras 30, so that each second camera 30 can be connected to the mounting body 100 and each second camera 30 can be adjusted in angle relative to the first camera 20.
