[0051] The utility model provides a pet intelligent camera.

[0052] See also Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment of the present utility model, the pet smart camera includes a camera body 10, a bracket 20 and a wall bracket 30; the bracket 20 is rotatably connected to the camera body 10; a first quick-release structure 21 is provided at one end of the bracket 20 away from the camera body 10; the wall bracket 30 is used to be fixed on the wall, and a second quick-release structure 31 is provided on the side of the wall bracket 30 facing away from the wall. The first quick-release structure 21 is connected in cooperation with the quick-release structure to fix the camera body 10 and the bracket 20 on the wall.

[0053] The pet smart camera of this embodiment primarily consists of a camera body 10, a bracket 20, and a wall mount 30. The camera body 10 provides functions such as photography, video recording, and remote monitoring, and houses an image processor, a wireless communication module, and a power supply. The bracket 20 is rotatably connected to the camera body 10, allowing the camera body 10 to rotate relative to the bracket 20 to adjust the shooting direction.

[0054] Specifically, one end of the bracket 20 is connected to the camera body 10, and the other end extends outward and is provided with a first quick-release structure 21. The design of the first quick-release structure 21 allows it to be quickly and firmly connected to the second quick-release structure 31 on the upper wall bracket 30.

[0055] The upper wall bracket 30 is used to be fixed to the wall, and its side facing away from the wall is provided with a second quick-release structure 31. The second quick-release structure 31 matches the first quick-release structure 21 and can be tightly connected thereto to ensure the stability of the camera body 10 and bracket 20 as a whole fixed to the wall.

[0056] To mount the pet smart camera on a wall, first secure the upper wall bracket 30 to the wall, ensuring it is secure and reliable. Then, connect the first quick-release structure 21 on the bracket 20 to the second quick-release structure 31 on the back of the upper wall bracket 30. Installation is completed with a simple operation. This design makes installation quick and easy, and also facilitates future maintenance and disassembly.

[0057] During operation, the user can remotely control the shooting direction and angle of the camera body 10 through the wireless communication module, thereby achieving all-round pet monitoring. In addition, the image processor built into the camera body 10 can process the captured images in real time, including but not limited to image compression and image recognition, providing users with a more intelligent pet monitoring experience.

[0058] Compared with traditional camera installation methods, the present invention uses the cooperative connection of the first quick-release structure 21 and the second quick-release structure 31, so that the camera body 10 and the bracket 20 can be firmly fixed on the wall, making the connection between the camera body 10 and the bracket 20, and the bracket 20 and the upper wall bracket 30 more convenient, so that the pet smart camera can not only be fixed on the wall for use, but also placed on the desktop for use, thereby allowing the pet smart camera to be used in different scenarios, thereby meeting the different usage needs of users.

[0059] Furthermore, users can quickly complete installation without the use of complex tools, significantly saving installation time and labor costs. The pivoting connection between the bracket 20 and the camera body 10 enables 360-degree rotation of the camera body 10. Users can adjust the camera's shooting angle as needed, achieving all-around monitoring, thus better meeting monitoring needs in various scenarios.

[0060] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The first quick-release structure 21 includes at least two engaging positions 211, and the two engaging positions 211 are arranged at intervals; the second quick-release structure 31 includes at least two engaging protrusions 311, and the two engaging protrusions 311 are arranged at intervals; each engaging protrusion 311 is engaged with a engaging position 211, so that the upper wall bracket 30 and the bracket 20 can be detachably connected.

[0061] The clamping protrusions 311 of the present invention are made of high-strength metal material with good wear resistance and toughness to ensure the stability and durability of the connection. A clamping groove is designed on the top of each clamping protrusion 311 for engaging with the clamping position 211 of the first quick-release structure 21.

[0062] The two engaging positions 211 are spaced apart and correspond to the engaging protrusions 311 of the second quick-release structure 31. The engaging positions 211 are also made of high-strength metal, and their internal shape matches the engaging groove of the engaging protrusion 311 to ensure accurate and firm engagement.

[0063] When the upper wall bracket 30 is to be connected to the bracket 20, the operator aligns the engaging protrusion 311 of the upper wall bracket 30 with the engaging position 211 of the bracket 20 and applies appropriate pressure to engage the engaging protrusion 311 with the engaging position 211. At this point, the engaging protrusion 311 and the engaging position 211 are tightly engaged, forming a removable connection. To disengage the connection, the operator simply applies reverse pressure to disengage the engaging protrusion 311 from the engaging position 211.

[0064] The quick-release design simplifies and expedites the connection between the upper wall bracket 30 and the bracket 20. The precise alignment of each latching protrusion 311 with the latching position 211 ensures a stable connection, significantly reducing installation time and improving work efficiency. When maintenance or replacement of the upper wall bracket 30 or bracket 20 is necessary, the quick-release design facilitates disassembly, saving significant time and labor costs while reducing maintenance complexity.

[0065] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 2 to 5 Each engaging protrusion 311 has an embedding hole 311a; a countersunk hole 211a, a guide hole 211b and a retaining rib 211c opposite to the bottom wall of the countersunk hole 211a are provided on the side of the bracket 20 facing the upper wall bracket 30; the countersunk hole 211a and the guide hole 211b are connected to form a engaging position 211; the engaging protrusion 311 slides into the countersunk hole 211a along the guide hole 211b, so that the retaining rib 211c is engaged with the embedding hole 311a.

[0066] Place the side of the bracket 20 facing the upper wall bracket 30 toward the operator, ensuring the position and direction of the countersunk hole 211a, the guide hole 211b, and the retaining rib 211c. Slide the snap-fit protrusion 311 with the embedded hole 311a into the countersunk hole 211a along the guide hole 211b. The operator needs to align the snap-fit protrusion 311 with the guide hole 211b, and then gently push the snap-fit protrusion 311 in the direction of the guide hole 211b to enter the countersunk hole 211a. When the snap-fit protrusion 311 completely enters the countersunk hole 211a, the retaining rib 211c will snap into the embedded hole 311a, thereby achieving a tight connection between the bracket 20 and the snap-fit protrusion 311.

[0067] The present invention cleverly utilizes a connection method of engaging protrusions 311 and recesses 311a. This structural design provides a more secure and reliable connection between the bracket 20 and the upper wall bracket 30. Specifically, each engaging protrusion 311 has an recess 311a, which provides more contact points during the engagement process. This effectively distributes and absorbs pressure at the connection point, preventing structural damage caused by excessive concentrated force. Compared to existing technologies, this design significantly improves the stability and load-bearing capacity of the connection between the bracket 20 and the upper wall bracket 30.

[0068] The side of the bracket 20 facing the upper wall bracket 30 is provided with a countersunk hole 211a, a guide hole 211b, and a retaining rib 211c opposite the bottom wall of the countersunk hole 211a. The countersunk hole 211a and the guide hole 211b are connected to form a snap-fit point 211. This structural design not only improves the connection precision but also simplifies the installation process. In actual use, the snap-fit protrusion 311 can slide along the guide hole 211b into the countersunk hole 211a naturally and smoothly, without the need for additional auxiliary tools or complicated steps. This not only reduces the difficulty of installation but also greatly improves installation efficiency.

[0069] Furthermore, the design of retaining ribs 211c snapping into recesses 311a further strengthens the connection between bracket 20 and upper wall bracket 30. The presence of retaining ribs 211c effectively prevents lateral movement of bracket 20 on upper wall bracket 30, thereby ensuring overall structural stability. This design not only enhances structural stability but also increases the service life of bracket 20.

[0070] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 2 to 4 The side of the engaging protrusion 311 facing the bracket 20 is provided with a limiting protrusion 311b; the bottom wall of the countersunk hole 211a is provided with a limiting groove 211d. When the limiting protrusion 311b is inserted into the limiting groove 211d, the retaining rib 211c is inserted into the embedded hole 311a.

[0071] A stopper protrusion 311b is provided on one side of the upper wall bracket 30, protruding from the surface of the upper wall bracket 30. A stopper groove 211d is provided on the bottom wall of the countersunk hole 211a, which is designed to accommodate the stopper protrusion 311b of the bracket 20. The direction in which the stopper groove 211d extends is the same as the direction in which the engaging protrusion 311 slides into the countersunk hole 211a.

[0072] To connect the upper wall frame 30 to the bracket 20, align the countersunk holes 211a of the bracket 20 with the stopper bumps 311b of the upper wall frame 30, allowing the stopper bumps 311b to engage with the stopper grooves 211d. At this point, the retaining ribs 211c engage with the recessed holes 311a of the upper wall frame 30, firmly connecting the upper wall frame 30 to the bracket 20. Once connected, the relative position between the upper wall frame 30 and the bracket 20 is defined, preventing relative slippage and improving the stability of the connection.

[0073] When the limiting protrusion 311b is engaged with the limiting groove 211d, the movement of the wall frame can be effectively limited, ensuring the accuracy of its fixed position. This design not only improves the overall stability of the wall frame, but also greatly reduces the difficulty of installation, saves installation time, and improves work efficiency.

[0074] When the limiting protrusion 311b is inserted into the limiting groove 211d, the retaining rib 211c can be smoothly inserted into the embedding hole 311a, forming a double locking mechanism, so that the wall frame can still maintain structural stability when subjected to external force, effectively preventing the wall frame from shifting due to vibration or external force.

[0075] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3The bracket 20 includes a frame body 22, a base 23, a fixing block 24 and at least one connecting member 25. One end of the frame body 22 is rotatably connected to the camera body 10; the base 23 is rotatably connected to the end of the frame body 22 facing away from the camera body 10. The base 23 is provided with a mounting hole and a first quick-release structure 21. The mounting hole passes through the base 23 and is spaced apart from the first quick-release structure 21; the fixing block 24 is provided on the side of the base 23 facing away from the frame body 22; the connecting member 25 passes through the fixing block 24 and the mounting hole and is connected to the frame body 22.

[0076] During operation, if the angle of the camera body 10 needs to be adjusted, the operator can rotate the camera body 10 by rotating the connection between the bracket 22 and the camera body 10. Simultaneously, by adjusting the rotational connection between the base 23 and the bracket 22, the overall position and angle of the bracket 20 can be changed, thereby expanding the pet smart camera's shooting range. The provision of the fixing block 24 and the connecting member 25 ensures the stability and safety of the bracket 20 during adjustment.

[0077] The base 23 is pivotally connected to the end of the frame 22 facing away from the camera body 10. This design allows the bracket 20 to be flexibly adjusted to suit different shooting environments and angles. A mounting hole is provided on the base 23, which runs through the base 23. This design not only facilitates the installation of the bracket 20, but also further improves its stability.

[0078] And / or, the base 23 is provided with a turntable 231 , the turntable 231 is provided with a mounting groove connected to and coaxial with the mounting hole, the mounting groove is located on a side of the base 23 facing away from the frame 22 , and the fixing block 24 is installed in the mounting groove.

[0079] The turntable 231 is fixed to the base 23 and connected to the base 23 via a rotating shaft 40, allowing for flexible rotation. The turntable 231 is made of stainless steel, and its surface has been treated with rust prevention to ensure that it will not rust even after long-term use. The mounting hole is located in the center of the turntable 231 and is connected to the mounting slot. The mounting hole is convenient for use with the fixed block 24. The mounting slot is coaxially arranged with the mounting hole and is located on one side of the turntable 231. The mounting slot is used to install the fixed block 24. The fixed block 24 is installed in the mounting slot. In this way, when the base 23 rotates relative to the frame 22, the fixed block 24 is not easily displaced, ensuring that the frame 22 and the base 23 rotate normally.

[0080] The coaxial arrangement of the mounting slot and the mounting hole ensures proper alignment of the fixing block 24 during installation, avoiding installation problems caused by offset or misalignment. Furthermore, the mounting slot is located on the side of the base 23 facing away from the frame 22, optimizing the spatial layout and making the overall structure more compact.

[0081] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3The frame 22 has an annular groove 22 a on one side facing the turntable 231 . The bracket 20 further includes an elastic ring 20 a , which is mounted in the annular groove 22 a and elastically abuts against the turntable 231 .

[0082] The annular groove 22a is located at the edge of the frame 22. Its annular shape, with a U-shaped cross-section, facilitates the installation and securement of the elastic ring 20a. The frame 22 is made of high-strength material, offering high stability and load-bearing capacity. The shape of the frame 22 can be designed to meet specific application requirements, such as rectangular or circular. The diameter D1 of the annular groove 22a matches the outer diameter of the turntable 231, ensuring close contact between the elastic ring 20a and the turntable 231 after installation. The depth H1 of the annular groove 22a is sufficient to accommodate the elastic ring 20a and prevent it from falling out after installation. The width W1 of the annular groove 22a is appropriate, facilitating installation of the elastic ring 20a without compromising the overall strength of the frame 22. Furthermore, the bracket 20 also includes the elastic ring 20a. The elastic ring 20a is installed within the annular groove 22a and elastically abuts against the turntable 231. When the turntable 231 rotates, the elastic contact between the elastic ring 20a and the turntable 231 can effectively alleviate the impact force, reduce noise, and increase the service life of the turntable 231. At the same time, the installation position and structure of the elastic ring 20a make the bracket 20 as a whole have high stability and reliability.

[0083] The elastic contact between the elastic ring 20a and the turntable 231 strengthens the connection between the frame 22 and the turntable 231, preventing the connection from loosening or falling apart due to external forces. This is of great significance for mechanical equipment that requires long-term stable operation. The elastic ring 20a allows the base 23 to form a damped rotational motion, ensuring that the base 23 is more stable and does not loosen when rotating relative to the frame 22.

[0084] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 6 The bracket 20 is provided with a rotation groove 20b and a notch 20c connected to the rotation groove 20b at one end away from the first quick-release structure 21; the outer wall of the camera body 10 is provided with an assembly protrusion 10a, and the assembly protrusion 10a is placed at the notch 20c; the pet smart camera also includes a rotating shaft 40 and an elastic member 50, the rotating shaft 40 is passed through the rotation groove 20b and passes through the assembly protrusion 10a, and the elastic member 50 abuts between one end of the rotating shaft 40 and the assembly protrusion 10a, so that the camera body 10 can rotate relative to the bracket 20.

[0085] A rotation groove 20b is defined on the end of the bracket 20 facing away from the first quick-release structure 21. This groove 20b is circular or elliptical in shape, and its dimensions match the outer diameter of the rotating shaft 40. Furthermore, a notch 20c is defined on this end of the bracket 20, communicating with the rotation groove 20b. The shape and dimensions of the notch 20c match those of the mounting protrusion 10a on the camera body 10. The outer wall of the camera body 10 is provided with a mounting protrusion 10a. This protrusion 10a is cylindrical or similar in shape, and its dimensions match those of the notch 20c, ensuring smooth insertion. The rotating shaft 40 extends through the rotation groove 20b, with its ends connected to the bracket 20 and the camera body 10, respectively. The outer diameter of the rotating shaft 40 matches the inner diameter of the rotation groove 20b, ensuring that the rotating shaft 40 can rotate freely within the rotation groove 20b. The elastic member 50 abuts between one end of the shaft 40 and the mounting protrusion 10a, providing a resilient connection between the camera body 10 and the bracket 20, allowing the camera body 10 to rotate relative to the bracket 20. The elastic member 50 utilizes a metal elastic interference fit to achieve a tight rotational fit with the shaft 40, ensuring stable rotation even at high temperatures.

[0086] To install the camera, the user first aligns the mounting protrusion 10a of the camera body 10 with the notch 20c of the bracket 20 and then inserts the protrusion into the notch 20c.
