[0002] Currently, the scope and application of cameras are expanding. With the increasing number of cars in my country, cars have become an integral part of every household. Especially with the rapid development of automotive electronics and security technologies, in-vehicle cameras have become indispensable hardware for traffic safety, providing monitoring of both inside and outside the vehicle cabin. In-vehicle cameras not only record road conditions and accidents during driving but can also be used for remote monitoring, theft prevention, and scratch protection. In some areas, in-vehicle cameras are also used to monitor traffic violations, thereby improving road safety.

[0003] Traditional in-car cameras are fixed to the car with a bracket, but there are many different car models. In order to enable the camera to monitor the environment inside and outside the car more clearly, after fixing the camera on the car, it is generally necessary to adjust the camera's shooting angle so that the adjusted camera can collect image information of the target area. However, general in-car cameras cannot adjust the camera's shooting angle at will, and this situation needs to be improved.

[0004] Therefore, the present invention proposes a vehicle-mounted camera. Utility Model Content

[0026] This embodiment proposes a vehicle-mounted camera, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a camera body 1 for shooting is provided, wherein the camera body 1 is spherical;

[0027] A fixing base 2, the bottom of which is detachably connected to the vehicle, the fixing base 2 having a first opening 21 for the camera light path of the camera body 1 to pass through, and the inner wall of the fixing base 2 being spherical;

[0028] The mounting base 3 has a spherical inner wall and is mounted on the inner wall of the fixing base 2. The inner wall of the fixing base 2 is higher than the inner wall of the mounting base 3. The inner wall of the mounting base 3 and the upper inner wall of the fixing base 2 form a mounting cavity for accommodating the camera body 1 and allowing the camera body 1 to rotate. The mounting base 3 is formed with a second opening 31 that is opposite to and connected to the first opening 21.

[0029] The diameter of the first opening 21 and the diameter of the second opening 31 are both smaller than the diameter of the camera body 1 .

[0030] In this embodiment, the camera body 1 is spherical, which is the existing technology. It is a high-grade waterproof camera that can reach IP69. The camera body is a sphere and can be installed in any position. The chip uses Sony's intelligent AI2053 chip.

[0031] Working principle: the bottom of the fixing base 2 is detachably connected to the car, and the fixing base 2 is provided with a first opening 21 for the camera light path of the camera body 1 to pass through, and the inner wall of the fixing base 2 is spherical; the inner wall of the mounting base 3 is spherical and is installed on the inner wall of the fixing base 2, the inner wall height of the fixing base 2 is greater than the inner wall height of the mounting base 3 and the inner wall of the mounting base 3 and the upper inner wall of the fixing base 2 form a mounting cavity for accommodating the installation of the camera body 1 and for the camera body 1 to rotate; the camera body 1 is rotatably installed in the mounting cavity, because the diameter of the first opening 21 and the diameter of the second opening 31 are both smaller than the diameter of the camera body 1, the mounting cavity can firmly wrap the camera body 1 for the camera body 1 to rotate therein, and at the same time, the second opening 31 is provided on the mounting base 3, which is opposite to and connected to the first opening 21, for video collection. In actual application, the position of the camera body 1 in the mounting cavity can be manually rotated to improve the problem that the vehicle-mounted camera cannot adjust the shooting angle.

[0032] In this embodiment, the bottom of the fixing seat 2 is hollowed out, and a pair of symmetrically arranged bolt columns 22 are penetrated on the inner wall of the lower portion of the fixing seat 2. The fixing seat 2 is fixed to the car by bolts passing through the bolt columns 22.

[0033] In this embodiment, the bottom end surface of the mounting seat 3 is integrated with a fixed side plate 32; the fixing seat 2 is provided with a plurality of guide columns 23, and the fixed side plate 32 is penetrated by a guide hole 3 for the guide column 23 to penetrate and be bolted.

[0034] In this embodiment, a pair of snap-in grooves 34 are symmetrically provided on the side of the fixed side plate, and a protrusion 24 that is snap-fitted with the snap-in groove 34 is provided at the end of the bolt column 22 close to the fixed side plate. After snapping, the guide column 23 and the guide hole 3 are locked by bolts to fix the fixed side plate together with the mounting seat.

[0035] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the engaging groove 34 and the protrusion 24 are both arranged in an arc shape.

[0036] In this embodiment, a threading hole 35 is provided on the side of the mounting base 3 opposite to the second opening 31. The threading hole 35 passes through the side wall of the mounting base 3 and the fixed side plate. The threading hole 35 is arranged opposite to the wiring hole of the camera body 1. Figure 2 As shown, since the bottom of the mounting base is hollowed out, once the mounting base is installed, the bottom of the mounting base (that is, the bottom of the fixed side panel) can be wired. In actual use, the spherical camera body 1 is wired and passed through the threading hole of the mounting base to form an assembly. This assembly is then installed from the bottom of the mounting base upwards. When the inner wall of the mounting base 3 and the upper inner wall of the mounting base 2 form a mounting cavity for accommodating the camera body 1 and allowing the camera body 1 to rotate (at this time, the first opening and the second opening are directly opposite and connected in a straight line), the assembly and the mounting base are formed into a whole, and the whole is fixed to the vehicle via the bolt column 22 provided on the mounting base.

[0037] In this embodiment, a limiting block 25 for positioning the fixed side panel is provided on the inner wall of the fixing seat 2 to remind the fixing seat 2 to abut to a fixed position, thereby facilitating the subsequent installation of the fixed side panel 32 .

[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
