[0024] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0025] Reference Figure 1-7 A camera structure includes a base 1, a camera assembly 11 is provided at the upper end of the base 1, a mounting groove 12 is provided on one side of the base 1, a power interface 13 is slidably connected to the mounting groove 12, a clamping mechanism 2 is provided in the mounting groove 12, the clamping mechanism 2 is used to clamp the power cord, a driving member 3 for driving the clamping mechanism 2 is provided on the mounting groove 12, and a locking mechanism 4 for fixing the driving member 3 is also provided on the base 1. In the utility model, after the power cord is inserted, a stable pressure is applied to it through the clamping mechanism 2 to ensure that the power cord will not loosen due to the movement of the camera or external force. The locking mechanism 4 ensures that the driving member 3 remains in a fixed position after the clamping mechanism 2 is operated to prevent the driving member 3 from accidentally moving or loosening, thereby maintaining a stable clamping of the power cord;

[0026] Among them, a notch is provided at the lower end of the base 1, and the notch is communicated with the lower end of the mounting groove 12. A cover plate 14 is rotatably connected to the notch, and one end of the cover plate 14 is connected to the base 1 through a snap-on member 5. In the utility model, the notch provided at the lower end of the base 1 facilitates the connection between the power plug and the power interface 13, and the power interface 13 is hidden in the mounting groove 12 through the cover plate 14, reducing contact with the outside world and protecting the power cord plug.

[0027] Furthermore, the mounting groove 12 includes a T-slot 121 and a slide groove 122, the slide groove 122 is connected to the T-slot 121, and the clamping mechanism 2 includes two clamping plates 21, the clamping plates 21 are slidably connected to the slide groove 122, and a groove 22 is also provided at one end of the clamping plate 21. In the utility model, the clamping plate 21 is driven to move by the driving member 3, and then the power cord is clamped. The provided groove 22 ensures that the power cord will not be subjected to unnecessary pressure during the clamping process, thereby fixing the power cord to prevent it from loosening or falling off.

[0028] Furthermore, the driving member 3 includes a connecting plate 31. In this embodiment, the locking mechanism 4 is used to fix the position of the connecting plate 31. The connecting plate 31 is slidably connected to the T-slot 121. Two guide grooves 32 are provided on the connecting plate 31. A guide column 33 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the clamping plate 21. The guide column 33 is located in the guide groove 32. In the utility model, when the power cord needs to be fixed, the movement of the connecting plate 31 is synchronously transmitted to the clamping plate 21 through the cooperation of the guide column 33 and the guide groove 32, so that the clamping plate 21 moves and clamps the power cord. Subsequently, the locking mechanism 4 fixes the connecting plate 31 to maintain the clamping state.

[0029] Among them, an ejection spring 34 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting plate 31, and one end of the ejection spring 34 is fixedly connected to one end of the mounting groove 12. In the utility model, when the locking mechanism 4 releases the fixation of the connecting plate 31, the elastic force of the ejection spring 34 pushes the connecting plate 31 to move, and is synchronously transmitted to the clamping plate 21, so that the clamping plate 21 moves and loosens the power cord.

[0030] In addition, the locking mechanism 4 includes an L-shaped groove 41 provided on the base 1, and an L-shaped rod 42 is slidably connected to the L-shaped groove 41. A positioning hole 43 is provided at the upper end of the connecting plate 31, and one end of the L-shaped rod 42 is inserted into the positioning hole 43. A spring 44 is fixedly connected to one end of the L-shaped rod 42, and one end of the spring 44 is fixedly connected to one end of the L-shaped rod 42. In the utility model, when the connecting plate 31 is pushed to clamp the two clamping plates 21 to clamp the power cord, the elastic force of the spring 44 pushes the L-shaped rod 42 to engage with the positioning hole 43, thereby fixing the position of the connecting plate 31. When the lock is released, the L-shaped rod 42 is pulled to separate it from the positioning hole 43, and the elastic force of the ejection spring 34 is used to push the connecting plate 31 to move.

[0031] In addition, the clamping member 5 includes a fixing groove 51 provided on the cover 14, and an L-shaped connecting rod 52 is slidably connected in the fixing groove 51. A clamping groove 53 is provided at the lower end of the base 1, and one end of the L-shaped connecting rod 52 is fixedly connected to a clamping block 54, and the clamping block 54 and the clamping groove 53 are clamped with each other. One side of the L-shaped connecting rod 52 is fixedly connected to a resistance spring 55, and one end of the resistance spring 55 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixing groove 51. In the utility model, the L-shaped connecting rod 52 is pushed by the elastic force of the resistance spring 55, and the clamping block 54 is driven to be clamped with the clamping groove 53 to achieve the fixed connection between the cover 14 and the base 1. When the cover 14 needs to be opened, the L-shaped connecting rod 52 is pressed to move it, thereby driving the clamping block 54 to move, separate it from the clamping groove 53, and release the fixation of the cover 14.

[0032] Working method: When working, first insert the power plug into the power interface 13, push the connecting plate 31 so that the two clamps 21 clamp the power cord, and then push the L-shaped rod 42 through the elastic force of the spring 44 to make it engage with the positioning hole 43, thereby fixing the position of the connecting plate 31. The movement of the connecting plate 31 is synchronously transmitted to the clamp 21 through the cooperation of the guide column 33 and the guide groove 32, so that the clamp 21 moves and clamps the power cord. When the cover 14 is rotated, the power interface 13 is hidden in the installation groove 12 to reduce contact with the outside world and protect the power cord plug. The L-shaped connecting rod 52 is pushed by the elastic force of the resisting spring 55, and the clamping block 54 is driven to engage with the clamping groove 53 to achieve a fixed connection between the cover 14 and the base 1.

[0033] The above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this. Any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
