[0050] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0051] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the present application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0052] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 ,in, Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a camera device provided in an embodiment of the present application, Figure 2 This is an exploded view of the camera device provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0053] In a first specific embodiment, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the camera device provided by the embodiment of the present application mainly includes a license plate frame 1 and a camera assembly 2, the license plate frame 1 is used to connect the license plate; the camera assembly 2 is rotatably arranged on the license plate frame 1, the camera assembly 2 includes a shell 21, a wire-passing shaft 22 and a camera 23, and the shell 21 is hollow; the wire-passing shaft 22 is arranged at the end of the shell 21, the wire-passing shaft 22 is rotatably connected to the license plate frame 1, and the interior of the wire-passing shaft 22 is hollow; the camera 23 is arranged inside the shell 21, and the circuit electrically connected to the camera 23 passes through the wire-passing shaft 22 and extends into the shell 21.

[0054] The camera device is essentially an innovative license plate frame, which is improved on the basis of the traditional license plate frame; by integrating the camera component 2, it can not only fix the license plate but also perform real-time monitoring.

[0055] During installation, the license plate frame 1 is first secured to the front or rear of the vehicle, ensuring a stable attachment. Next, the camera assembly 2, consisting of a housing 21, a wire-passing shaft 22, and a camera 23, is mounted on the license plate frame 1. The housing 21 is hollow, providing space for the camera 23. The electrical wiring for the camera 23 extends through the hollow interior of the wire-passing shaft 22 and into the housing 21, protecting the wiring while maintaining a clean appearance. During use, the user can manually rotate the camera assembly 2 to adjust the camera 23's shooting angle to suit different monitoring needs.

[0056] The camera device of this technical solution provides an innovative solution to the mounting and adjustment difficulties of traditional vehicle-mounted cameras. The camera assembly 2 is pivotally mounted on the license plate frame 1, allowing the camera 23 to rotate relative to the frame 1, thereby adjusting the shooting angle to accommodate different viewing angles. This design significantly enhances the flexibility of the camera device, allowing users to adjust the camera's shooting direction based on actual conditions for a better field of view and enhanced monitoring results.

[0057] In particular, the hollow interior of the cable-passing shaft 22 allows the electrical wiring of the camera 23 to pass through it, effectively concealing the wiring, avoiding the clutter that would otherwise result from exposed wiring, and reducing the risk of wiring damage. This design not only enhances the vehicle's aesthetics, but also improves overall cleanliness and safety.

[0058] The hollow interior of the housing 21 provides necessary protection for the camera 23 and space for wiring, ensuring the compactness and integrity of the camera assembly 2. This design simplifies installation of the camera device, eliminating the need for complex modifications or drilling holes in the vehicle, and thus protecting the vehicle's integrity.

[0059] Combined with the above structure and process description, it can be seen that the camera device has at least the following beneficial effects: the camera device effectively solves the problems of difficult installation, fixation and adjustment of traditional vehicle-mounted camera devices, and provides a solution that is easy to install, position adjustable, hidden in the lines and does not affect the appearance of the vehicle, thereby enhancing practicality and aesthetics.

[0060] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 A schematic diagram of a license plate frame provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0061] In some embodiments, the license plate frame 1 includes:

[0062] Main frame 11, used for connecting the license plate;

[0063] The support body 12 is disposed on the upper edge of the main frame body 11 , and the support body 12 is rotatably connected to the camera assembly 2 .

[0064] In this embodiment, the design of the license plate frame 1 comprises two key components: a main frame 11 and a support 12. The main frame 11's core function is to connect the license plate. When installed on a vehicle, it ensures a secure fit. The support 12, located at the top edge of the main frame 11, is designed to pivotally connect with the camera assembly 2, providing the necessary support and mobility. This design allows the camera assembly 2 to adjust its angle within a certain range to accommodate different monitoring needs while maintaining a tight fit with the license plate frame 1.

[0065] Support body 12 is positioned at the upper edge of main frame 11, providing a higher mounting point for camera assembly 2. This layout allows camera 23 to obtain a wider viewing angle, enhancing monitoring effectiveness. Furthermore, this upper placement ensures the integrity and visibility of the license plate, meeting traffic regulations without detracting from the vehicle's appearance.

[0066] With such a structural design, the license plate frame 1 can not only perform its basic function of fixing the license plate, but also serve as an integrated platform to support the installation and adjustment of the camera assembly 2, thereby enhancing practicality and flexibility.

[0067] Please continue to refer to Figure 3 In some embodiments, the support body 12 includes a sleeve portion 121 , the sleeve portion 121 is provided with a shaft hole 1211 , and the shaft hole 1211 is rotatably connected to the wire-passing shaft 22 .

[0068] In this embodiment, the design of the support body 12 is further refined, including a sleeve portion 121, within which is disposed a shaft hole 1211. The shaft and hole in this design cooperate to allow the wire-passing shaft 22 to be rotatably connected to the shaft hole 1211. Because the wire-passing shaft 22 can be designed to be relatively large, this structure not only provides sufficient rotational capacity but also significantly enhances the support effectiveness of the entire camera assembly 2.

[0069] The thick shaft design increases the structural strength, making the camera assembly 2 more stable during rotation and reducing displacement or shaking caused by vehicle vibration during driving. In addition, the reinforced structure also means greater durability and reliability, and the camera assembly 2 can remain stable in various environmental conditions.

[0070] The tight fit between the shaft hole 1211 and the threaded shaft 22 also helps maintain the positional stability of the camera assembly 2 after adjusting to a specific viewing angle, ensuring the clarity and consistency of the surveillance footage. This design not only achieves the necessary functions, but also optimizes the user experience and provides a more secure and precise camera angle adjustment solution.

[0071] In some embodiments, the camera device further includes: an elastic member 3 , which is disposed between the wire-passing shaft 22 and the shaft hole 1211 .

[0072] In this embodiment, the design of the camera device is further optimized by adding an elastic member 3 , which is arranged between the wire-passing shaft 22 and the shaft hole 1211 , and further acts between the camera assembly 2 and the license plate frame 1 .

[0073] The introduction of elastic member 3, leveraging its unique elastic properties, serves a dual purpose. On the one hand, it provides a cushioning effect, absorbing vibrations that may occur during vehicle movement, thereby protecting camera assembly 2 from impact and damage. On the other hand, elastic member 3 also creates a damping effect, which helps reduce any swing or oscillation that may occur with camera assembly 2 after rotation, allowing for rapid and stable positioning.

[0074] This design not only enhances the camera device's protection against external impacts, but also improves the feel and precision of the camera assembly 2 during operation. When adjusting the camera angle, the user experiences more stable and precise feedback, ensuring that the camera 23 can quickly and accurately locate the desired monitoring angle, maintaining a stable monitoring image and improving the reliability and durability of the camera effect.

[0075] Optionally, the elastic member 3 is an O-type sealing ring, which is sleeved into an annular groove provided on the wire-passing shaft 22 .

[0076] In some embodiments, the support body 12 also includes an extension portion 122 connected to the sleeve portion 121. In the thickness direction of the camera device, the first end of the extension portion 122 is connected to and flush with the sleeve portion 121, and the second end of the extension portion 122 is parallel to the main frame 11, and the extension portion 122 smoothly sinks from the first end to the second end.

[0077] In this embodiment, the support body 12 cleverly incorporates an extension 122, which connects to the sleeve 121. The extension 122 smoothly descends in the thickness direction of the camera device, with its first end connected and flush with the sleeve 121, and its second end parallel to the main frame 11. This design effectively reduces the volume occupied by the support body 12 above the main frame 11, making the entire camera device more compact.

[0078] The sunken design of the extension 122 not only reduces the overall thickness of the support body 12, but also minimizes interference with the vehicle's original design, enhancing the overall aesthetics. Simultaneously, the relatively thick structure of the sleeve 121 provides a solid foundation for maintaining the stability of the wire-passing shaft 22. This combination of thick and thin design not only achieves visual balance but also complements functional advantages, ensuring that the camera assembly 2 maintains stable and reliable performance under various driving conditions.

[0079] In some embodiments, the main frame 11 includes a connected planar portion 111 and a bottom shoulder portion 112. In the thickness direction of the camera device, the planar portion 111 is sunken compared to the surface of the support body 12 and the bottom shoulder portion 112. A license plate slot 113 for positioning the license plate is formed on the surface of the planar portion 111 by the support body 12 and the bottom shoulder portion 112.

[0080] In this embodiment, the main frame 11 utilizes a carefully designed structure, consisting of a planar portion 111 connected to a shoulder portion 112. This structural design allows the planar portion 111 to be sunken relative to the support body 12 and the shoulder portion 112 in the thickness direction of the camera device, forming a license plate slot 113 for positioning the license plate. When the license plate is installed in the slot 113, its lower portion is firmly supported by the shoulder portion 112, while its upper portion is restrained by the support body 12, ensuring stable and correct display of the license plate.

[0081] In some embodiments, the main frame 11 is provided with a connection hole 1101 , which is used to connect the license plate and realize the installation of the camera device on the vehicle.

[0082] In this embodiment, the main frame 11 is specially designed with connection holes 1101. These holes are crucial for mounting the camera assembly and securing the license plate. These holes allow the license plate to be attached to the license plate frame 1 using various fastening methods, such as screws or other fasteners. This securely mounts the license plate frame 1 and its integrated camera assembly 2 to the vehicle, facilitating installation and removal of the license plate and improving ease of maintenance and use.

[0083] It should be noted that the camera device is suitable for various vehicles, including but not limited to installation on domestic gasoline vehicles with blue license plates and electric vehicles with green license plates.

[0084] Optionally, the number of the connection holes 1101 is four, and the four connection holes 1101 are arranged in the upper left, upper right, lower right and lower left directions.

[0085] Optionally, the connection hole 1101 is a waist-shaped hole.

[0086] In some embodiments, there are two supporting bodies 12 , and the two supporting bodies 12 are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the camera assembly 2 to achieve a rotatable connection between the supporting bodies 12 and the two ends of the camera assembly 2 .

[0087] In this embodiment, the design includes two supports 12, symmetrically positioned at either end of the camera assembly 2. This symmetrical arrangement not only provides more balanced support but also allows the camera assembly 2 to be pivotally connected to the supports 12 at both ends. This allows the camera assembly 2 to be flexibly rotated and adjusted in pitch, thereby covering a wider monitoring area.

[0088] The symmetrical support 12 also helps evenly distribute the weight of the camera assembly 2, reducing stress on any single connection point, thereby enhancing the stability and durability of the entire device. Furthermore, this layout ensures smoother and more precise rotation of the camera assembly 2, further improving the quality and reliability of the surveillance. This design of rotating connections at both ends allows the camera assembly to adapt to various installation angles, providing users with greater flexibility and convenience.

[0089] Specifically, the camera assembly 2 is provided with two wire-passing shafts 22, and the two wire-passing shafts 22 are distributed on the left and right with the camera 23 as the symmetrical center. The left wire-passing shaft 22 extends into the shaft hole 1211 of the left sleeve part 121, and the right wire-passing shaft 22 extends into the shaft hole 1211 of the right sleeve part 121. Both wire-passing shafts 22 are equipped with elastic parts 3.

[0090] In some embodiments, the housing 21 includes:

[0091] The front shell 211 is installed, with shaft holes 2111 at both ends, and the shaft holes 2111 are provided with a wire-passing shaft 22. The front shell 211 is also provided with an opening for the wire-passing shaft 22 and the camera 23 to be installed in the front shell 211;

[0092] The fixed rear shell 212 is connected to the installation front shell 211 . The fixed rear shell 212 is used to cover the opening. The fixed rear shell 212 is fixedly connected to the camera 23 .

[0093] In this embodiment, the housing 21 is composed of a front mounting shell 211 and a fixed rear housing 212. Both ends of the front mounting shell 211 are provided with axial holes 2111, into which the wire-passing shaft 22 is mounted, allowing the camera assembly 2 to rotate. Furthermore, the front mounting shell 211 is provided with an opening that provides access for the wire-passing shaft 22 and camera 23, ensuring their proper installation within the housing 21.

[0094] The fixed rear housing 212 is connected to the mounting front housing 211, and its main function is to cover the opening of the mounting front housing 211, ensuring that the camera 23 is firmly fixed inside the housing 21. The fixed connection between the fixed rear housing 212 and the camera 23 not only ensures the stability of the camera, but also protects the camera 23 from damage due to vibration or impact during vehicle operation.

[0095] Optionally, an opening is provided on the rear side of the front shell 211 so that components can be loaded inward from the rear of the front shell 211, and an opening is provided on the front side of the front shell 211 so that the lens of the installed camera 23 is exposed from the opening.

[0096] In some cases, when assembling the camera assembly 2 and the license plate frame 1, first align the mounting front shell 211 with the license plate frame 1 so that the shaft hole 2111 matches the shaft hole 1211, and then install the wire-passing shaft 22 into the mounting front shell 211, so that the wire-passing shaft 22 is installed into the shaft hole 2111 and extends into the shaft hole 1211, lock the wire-passing shaft 22 with the mounting front shell 211, and then install the camera 23, and finally lock the fixed rear shell 212 with the mounting front shell 211 using the locking screws 6, and the camera 23 is fixed by the fixed rear shell 212.

[0097] In addition, the wire-passing shaft 22 may be installed into the shaft hole 2111 first, and then the wire-passing shaft 22 may be pushed out to extend into the shaft hole 1211 after the front shell 211 is aligned with the license plate frame 1. This should also fall within the scope of the description of this application.

[0098] It should be noted that this embodiment does not limit the locking method of the wire shaft 22 and the mounting front housing 211 , so different locking methods, such as screws or other fixing members, should also fall within the scope of the description of this embodiment.

[0099] In some embodiments, the camera device further includes:

[0100] The locking member 4 is provided on the license plate frame 1 and is used to move between a first position and a second position; when in the first position, the locking member 4 abuts against the camera assembly 2, limiting the rotation angle of the camera assembly 2; when in the second position, the locking member 4 is separated from the camera assembly 2, and the camera assembly 2 can be rotated and adjusted.

[0101] In this embodiment, a locking member 4 is incorporated into the design of the camera device, cleverly positioned on the license plate frame 1. The locking member 4's primary function is to switch between two different positions, enabling precise control of the rotation angle of the camera assembly 2. When in the first position, the locking member 4 abuts the camera assembly 2, restricting its rotation and ensuring the stability of the camera 23 at the set angle, ensuring a stable and consistent surveillance image. When the locking member 4 is moved to the second position, it disengages from the camera assembly 2, allowing it to rotate freely, allowing the user to change the camera 23's monitoring direction as needed.

[0102] This design of the locking element 4 not only provides operational flexibility but also ensures that the camera assembly 2 can be quickly and accurately adjusted to the optimal monitoring angle in different usage scenarios. By easily switching positions, users can easily and precisely control the camera angle while maintaining the compact structure and high integration of the camera device. This design reflects a thoughtful consideration of the user experience, making the camera device both practical and easy to operate.

[0103] In some embodiments, the sleeve portion 121 is provided with a screw hole 101; the locking member 4 includes a set screw 41, which is provided in the screw hole 101, and the set screw 41 is used to move along the screw hole 101 to abut against the wire-passing shaft 22 in the radial direction of the wire-passing shaft 22.

[0104] In this embodiment, the design of sleeve portion 121 specifically includes a screw hole 101. This detailed design provides a mounting location for set screw 41 of locking member 4. Set screw 41 is disposed within screw hole 101 and, when necessary, moves along screw hole 101 to abut against the radial direction of thread-passing shaft 22. This design allows set screw 41 to exert pressure on thread-passing shaft 22, thereby precisely locking the rotation angle of camera assembly 2.

[0105] By moving the set screw 41, the user can adjust the position of the camera assembly 2 as needed. Once the desired monitoring angle is reached, the set screw 41 stabilizes the camera assembly 2 in that position. This design not only provides precise control over the rotation angle of the camera assembly 2, but also ensures the stability and reliability of the camera device during use. Furthermore, the combined use of the screw hole 101 and the set screw 41 simplifies the operation of the fastener 4, allowing users to quickly adjust and secure the camera, improving the practicality of the camera device and the user experience.

[0106] Optionally, the camera device further includes a sealing member 5. After the set screw 41 is used to secure the camera assembly 2 in the desired position, the sealing member 5 is installed in the screw hole 101. This is done to prevent the entry of dust, moisture, and other external factors that could damage the camera assembly 2, while also ensuring a neat appearance for the camera device.

[0107] Optionally, the blocking member 5 is made of rubber.

[0108] In other embodiments, the sleeve portion 121 is provided with a slide groove; the wire-passing shaft 22 is provided with ribs distributed along its circumference; the locking piece 4 includes a tightening paddle, which is provided in the slide groove, and the tightening paddle is used to move along the slide groove to abut against the ribs in the circumferential direction of the wire-passing shaft 22.

[0109] In this embodiment, the sleeve portion 121 is specially designed with a sliding groove. This design allows the locking tab in the locking member 4 to move within the groove. Ribs are designed along the circumference of the thread-passing shaft 22, and the locking tab can move along the sliding groove to the appropriate position to abut against these ribs. This mechanism enables the locking tab to precisely control the rotation of the thread-passing shaft 22, thereby adjusting the pitch angle of the camera assembly 2.

[0110] Through the interaction between the locking tab and the ribs, the camera assembly 2 can be securely locked at the user's desired angle while maintaining flexibility for adjustment. This design not only provides a simple and effective method for securing the camera assembly 2, but also allows the user to quickly adjust the orientation of the camera 23 when necessary to suit different monitoring needs. The coordinated use of the slide and ribs enhances the stability of the camera device and the precision of its operation, ensuring that the camera assembly 2 maintains its position and angle under various operating conditions.

[0111] In some embodiments, the camera device further includes:

[0112] The electronic control component is provided with a motor, a main gear and a slave gear. The output shaft of the motor is connected to the main gear, the main gear is engaged with the slave gear, and the slave gear is arranged on the wire-passing shaft 22. The motor adjusts the rotation angle of the camera component 2 by controlling the rotation of the wire-passing shaft 22.

[0113] In this embodiment, the camera device's advanced features are reflected in its integrated electronic control assembly.
