[0025] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects solved by the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0026] like Figures 2-4 As shown, the detachable miniature camera rotating structure includes a housing, a lens module 20 and a bracket 30.

[0027] The housing includes a front shell 11 and a back shell 12. Several upwardly protruding latches 13 are provided on the top of both sides of the back shell 12. The latches 13 have empty spaces. Corresponding buckle positions 14 are provided on the inner sides of the bottom edges of both sides of the front shell 11 at positions corresponding to the latches 13. The buckle positions 14 can be buckled into the empty spaces of the latches 13. The front shell 11 and the back shell 12 are connected by the buckling of the latches 13 and the buckle positions 14. After the front shell 11 and the back shell 12 are buckled together, a mounting cavity is formed between them.

[0028] like Figure 5 As shown, the top of the front shell 11 is provided with an exposure hole 15, and the end (the end that extends into the bracket 30) is provided with at least one wave block buckle 16 and a groove 17. Similarly, at the end of the rear shell 12 (the end that extends into the bracket 30) is also provided with at least one wave block buckle and a groove.

[0029] The groove 17 is arranged along the outer surface of the front shell 11 and the rear shell 12, surrounding the front shell 11 and the rear shell 12. The groove 17 is arranged near the top end, and the wave block buckle 16 is arranged on the inner side of the groove 17.

[0030] In addition, one end of the wave block buckle 16 is fixedly connected to the shell of the housing, and the other end is vacant, so that the other end of the wave block buckle 16 can be suspended. And the wave block buckle 16 is an elastic wave block buckle 16, so that the wave block buckle 16 can be elastically deformed when rotating.

[0031] The lens module 20 is disposed in a mounting cavity formed between the front shell 11 and the rear shell 12. The camera in the lens module 20 can be exposed from the exposure hole 15 to shoot and record things outside.

[0032] like Figure 6 、 7 As shown, the bracket 30 includes a mounting plate 31 and a rotating shaft ring 32. The mounting plate 31 can be connected to the desired mounting point of the miniature camera (such as a desktop or inside a car), thereby securing the miniature camera. One side of the rotating shaft ring 32 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 31. The inner side of the rotating shaft ring 32 is hollow, with a plurality of uniformly and continuously distributed corrugated teeth 33 disposed on the inner sidewall. Furthermore, a buckle 34 is provided on the inner sidewall of the rotating shaft ring 32, located on one side of the corrugated teeth 33.

[0033] After the end of the housing extends into the rotating shaft ring 32 , the wave gear buckle 16 on the housing contacts the wave teeth 33 , and the buckle 34 is engaged in the groove 17 .

[0034] The rotation process of the micro camera is as follows:

[0035] When the housing is rotated, the contact surface between the wave gear buckle 16 and the wave teeth 33 slides, and the wave gear buckle 16 rubs and contacts with multiple continuous and identical wave teeth 33 when the housing rotates; the wave gear buckle 16 elastically deforms, and then the friction between the two forms a damping effect; Figure 8 As shown, when the rotation of the shaft 10 stops, the wave block buckle 16 stays between two adjacent wave teeth 33, so that the camera maintains the current rotation angle.

[0036] The disassembly process of the micro camera is as follows:

[0037] When the housing is pulled outward, the groove 17 on the housing is disengaged from the buckle 34 , and the housing can be pulled out of the bracket 30 .

[0038] According to the detachable miniature camera rotation structure in the above embodiment, it includes a housing, a lens module, and a bracket. The housing includes a front housing and a rear housing, the front housing being connected to the rear housing, the lens module being installed in the housing, and the housing being rotatably connected to the bracket. A groove is provided on the housing, and a buckle is provided on the bracket, and the groove and the buckle are detachably connected. Based on this detachable miniature camera rotation mechanism, a detachable connection between the housing and the bracket is achieved by providing a groove on the housing and a buckle in the bracket, and utilizing the detachable connection between the groove and the buckle. Therefore, the housing of the miniature camera can be easily removed from the bracket. The entire detachable structure is simple, and the assembly and disassembly processes are relatively convenient. Moreover, in this structure, by providing the buckle and the groove, while achieving a detachable connection between the housing and the bracket, the installation of the shaft cover is eliminated, thereby reducing the cost of the miniature camera, and increasing the assembly steps of the shaft cover on the production line, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the entire device.

[0039] In addition, an upwardly protruding locking position is provided on the back shell, and a buckle position corresponding to the locking position is provided on the front shell. The front shell and the back shell are connected by buckling the locking position and the buckle position. The buckling connection has a simple structure, simple operation, and high stability after buckling.

[0040] In addition, the grooves are arranged along the outer surfaces of the ends of the front shell and the rear shell, and are arranged around the surfaces of the entire front shell and the rear shell, ensuring that when the shell is rotated to any angle or position, the grooves on the shell will not detach from the buckles on the bracket.

[0041] In addition, a wave block buckle is provided on the front shell, and wave teeth are provided in the bracket. The wave block buckle is engaged between the wave teeth, and the rotation connection between the shell and the bracket is realized by the movement of the wave block buckle between the wave teeth.

[0042] Not only that, when the wave stop buckle collides and rubs against the wave teeth, it can undergo elastic deformation and have friction with the top of the wave teeth, providing a damping effect for the rotation of the shell. Therefore, the rotation structure of the wave stop buckle and the wave teeth achieves the rotation damping effect of the shell and the bracket without using any damping material, reducing the use of rubber damping parts, reducing product costs, and protecting the environment.

[0043] Obviously, those skilled in the art may make various changes and modifications to this application without departing from the spirit and scope of this application. Thus, if these modifications and variations of this application fall within the scope of the claims of this application and their equivalents, this application is intended to include these modifications and variations.
