[0023] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments, but the implementation methods of the present invention are not limited thereto.

[0024] See also Figures 1 to 4 The easy-to-assemble rotating camera device 100 of the present invention includes an integrated mounting frame 10, a rotating actuator 20, a rotating sleeve 30, and a camera assembly 40. In one embodiment, the rotating actuator 20 can be a micromotor, making the structure more compact and reasonable, but the invention is not limited thereto. The rotating actuator 20 is fixed to the integrated mounting frame 10, which has a rotating mounting seat 11 integrally formed thereon, and a rotating mounting hole 12 formed therein. The rotating sleeve 30 is rotatably inserted into the rotating mounting hole 12 and is transmission-connected to the drive shaft 21 of the rotating actuator 20. The camera assembly 40 is fixedly connected to the rotating sleeve 30. The rotating sleeve 30 is driven by the rotating actuator 20 to rotate and adjust the camera assembly 40, allowing the camera assembly 40 to rotate to a desired shooting angle or a privacy angle for blocking shooting. This allows the camera assembly 40 to be rotated and adjusted according to usage requirements, eliminating the need for multiple camera devices. Moreover, the rotating mounting base 11 is integrally formed on the integral mounting frame 10, and there is no need to perform a separate installation process for the rotating mounting base 11, nor is there any need to add additional parts to assist in the installation of the rotating shaft sleeve 30, which greatly reduces the number of parts required for assembly and makes the assembly process more convenient and quicker. This not only reduces the assembly process, but also reduces the difficulty of assembly, saves time and effort, and greatly improves assembly efficiency, thereby reducing production costs. Furthermore, since the camera assembly 40 can be rotated to the required shooting angle or to block the privacy angle of shooting according to usage requirements, it can avoid the risk of privacy being secretly photographed by malicious software in the handheld smart terminal, can better protect privacy, is more convenient to use, and greatly improves the user experience. Specifically, as follows:

[0025] In this embodiment, the easily assembled rotating camera device 100 of the present invention further includes a driving gear 50 fixedly connected to the drive shaft 21 of the rotary driver 20. Furthermore, a ring gear 31 is integrally formed on the end of the rotating sleeve away from the camera assembly 40. The axis of the ring gear 31 coincides with the axis of the rotating sleeve, and the ring gear 31 meshes with the driving gear 50. Thus, when the rotary driver 20 drives the driving gear 50 to rotate, the driving gear 50 in turn drives the ring gear 31 to rotate, which in turn drives the camera assembly 40 to rotate synchronously, thereby achieving rotational adjustment of the camera assembly 40. Furthermore, the ring gear 31 is integrally formed on the end of the rotating sleeve away from the camera assembly 40, eliminating the need for a separate installation step for the ring gear 31. This further reduces the number of assembly steps, making the assembly process more convenient and efficient, resulting in a simpler and more rational structure and further improving assembly efficiency.

[0026] Preferably, in this embodiment, the ring gear 31 is further formed with a blocking protrusion 32 that protrudes radially outward from the rotating sleeve, and the integrated mounting frame 10 is further formed with a first limiting protrusion 13 and a second limiting protrusion 14 that can block the blocking protrusion 32. The first limiting protrusion 13 and the second limiting protrusion 14 are spaced apart and distributed at both ends of the circular arc movement path of the blocking protrusion 32. That is, the blocking protrusion 32 is integrally formed on the ring gear 31, and the first limiting protrusion 13 and the second limiting protrusion 14 are both integrally formed on the integrated mounting frame 10. This eliminates the need for separate installation steps for the blocking protrusion 32, the first limiting protrusion 13, and the second limiting protrusion 14, further reducing the number of assembly parts and assembly steps, making the assembly process more convenient and quick, resulting in a simpler and more reasonable structure and further improving assembly efficiency. The blocking protrusion 32 thus moves along the arc path between the first limiting protrusion 13 and the second limiting protrusion 14, thereby limiting the rotation angle range of the ring gear 31 and, in turn, limiting the rotation angle range of the camera assembly 40. For example, in this embodiment, the rotation angle range of the ring gear 31 limited by the first limiting protrusion 13 and the second limiting protrusion 14 can be selected to be 180°. That is, when the blocking protrusion 32 abuts the first limiting protrusion 13, the camera assembly 40 rotates to a forward-facing camera angle; when the blocking protrusion 32 abuts the second limiting protrusion 14, the camera assembly 40 rotates to a rearward-facing camera angle; and when the blocking protrusion 32 is located midway between the first limiting protrusion 13 and the second limiting protrusion 14, the camera assembly 40 rotates to an upward-facing privacy angle, where it is blocked by the housing of the handheld smart terminal. At this point, the camera assembly 40 cannot capture the external environment, thereby avoiding the risk of private data being secretly captured by malware within the handheld smart terminal, better protecting privacy, and making it more convenient to use. Of course, the rotation angle range of the ring gear 31 limited by the first limiting protrusion 13 and the second limiting protrusion 14 is not limited to this. Those skilled in the art can also flexibly choose according to actual usage requirements, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0027] Alternatively, in other embodiments, the blocking protrusion 32 can be formed radially outward on the rotating sleeve according to different design and production requirements, and the blocking protrusion 32 can also be moved along the arc moving path to the limiting matching structure between the first limiting protrusion 13 and the second limiting protrusion 14. All of these are within the protection scope of the present utility model. Technicians in this field can also flexibly choose according to actual usage requirements, so they will not be described in detail here.

[0028] Furthermore, the integrated mounting frame 10 is also integrally formed with a fixed mounting seat 15, which is formed with a fixed mounting hole 16. The housing 22 of the rotary actuator 20 is fixedly connected to the fixed mounting hole 16, and the drive shaft 21 of the rotary actuator 20 is rotatably inserted into the fixed mounting hole 16 to prevent the free rotation of the drive shaft 21 of the rotary actuator 20 from being hindered, thereby achieving a mounting structure in which the rotary actuator 20 is fixed to the integrated mounting frame 10. Moreover, the fixed mounting seat 15 is integrally formed with the integrated mounting frame 10, eliminating the need for a separate installation process for the fixed mounting seat 15, further reducing the number of assembly steps, making the assembly process more convenient and quick, resulting in a simpler and more reasonable structure and further improving assembly efficiency.

[0029] Preferably, the easily assembled rotating camera device 100 of the present invention further includes a first sleeve gasket 60 and a second sleeve gasket 70. Both the first sleeve gasket 60 and the second sleeve gasket 70 are sleeved on the rotating sleeve. The first sleeve gasket 60 frictionally contacts between the end surface of the ring gear 31 facing the rotating mounting seat 11 and the end surface of the rotating mounting seat 11 facing the ring gear 31, and the second sleeve gasket 70 frictionally contacts between the end surface of the camera assembly 40 facing the rotating mounting seat 11 and the end surface of the rotating mounting seat 11 facing the camera assembly 40. This reduces frictional resistance between the ring gear 31 and the rotating mounting seat 11, as well as between the camera assembly 40 and the rotating mounting seat 11, thereby reducing wear, significantly extending service life, and achieving a more rational structure.

[0030] Optionally, a through hole 33 is further formed in the rotating sleeve 30, and the through hole 33 penetrates the rotating sleeve 30 along the length direction of the rotating sleeve 30. Then, the conductive wire on the camera assembly 40 can pass through the through hole 33 to connect with the outside, which makes the structure more reasonable and the assembly more convenient.

[0031] Specifically, in this embodiment, the camera assembly 40 comprises a first cover 41, a second cover 42, and a camera 43. The first cover 41 is fixedly secured to the second cover 42, with the camera 43 fixedly positioned between the first and second covers 41, 42. The end of the rotating sleeve 30, distal from the ring gear 31, is fixedly clamped between the first and second covers 41, 42, providing better protection for the camera 43 and a safer and more reliable structure. The end of the rotating sleeve 30, distal from the ring gear 31, is fixedly clamped between the first and second covers 41, 42, ensuring a secure connection between the camera assembly 40 and the rotating sleeve 30, further enhancing the structural integrity. Furthermore, a clearance hole 411 is formed in the first cover 41, extending perpendicularly along the length of the rotating sleeve 30. The lens of the camera 43 is aligned with the clearance hole 411, ensuring a safer and more reliable installation.

[0032] Furthermore, a first positioning post 412 is formed on the first cover body 41, protruding toward the second cover body 42. A second positioning post 421 is formed on the second cover body 42, protruding toward the first cover body 41. The first positioning post 412 is directly opposite the second positioning post 421. A first positioning hole (not shown) and a second positioning hole 34 are formed on the side wall of the rotating sleeve 30 at the end away from the ring gear 31. The first positioning hole and the second positioning hole 34 are arranged opposite each other along the radial direction of the rotating sleeve 30. The first positioning post 412 is inserted into the first positioning hole, and the second positioning post 421 is inserted into the second positioning hole 34. Therefore, by inserting the first positioning post 412 into the first positioning hole and the second positioning post 421 into the second positioning hole 34, relative rotation between the first and second covers 41, 42, and the rotating sleeve 30 can be prevented, making the rotation of the camera 43 more stable and secure, and the structure more reasonable.

[0033] Furthermore, the integrated mounting bracket 10 is formed with a first connection mounting hole 17 and a second connection mounting hole 18, and the rotatable mounting base 11 is located between the first connection mounting hole 17 and the second connection mounting hole 18. The integrated mounting bracket 10 can be secured to the housing of the handheld smart terminal by inserting two screws through the first connection mounting hole 17 and the second connection mounting hole 18, respectively, and then threading and locking them onto the housing of the handheld smart terminal. This makes the structure simpler and more reasonable, and assembly more convenient and quicker.

[0034] The working principle of the easy-to-assemble rotating camera device 100 of the present invention is described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0035] The driving gear 50 is driven to rotate by the rotary driver 20, and the driving gear 50 drives the ring gear 31 to rotate, and the ring gear 31 drives the rotating sleeve 30 to rotate synchronously, and then the rotating sleeve 30 drives the first cover body 41, the second cover body 42 and the camera 43 to rotate synchronously, so that the camera 43 can be driven to rotate and adjust, so that the camera 43 can be rotated to the desired shooting angle or the privacy angle that blocks the shooting.

[0036] Furthermore, the blocking protrusion 32 moves along the arc moving path between the first limiting protrusion 13 and the second limiting protrusion 14 to limit the rotation angle range of the ring gear 31, thereby limiting the rotation angle range of the camera assembly 40.

[0037] The rotary driver 20 of the easily assembled rotating camera device 100 of the present invention is fixed to an integrated mounting frame 10, which has an integrally formed rotating mounting seat 11 with a rotating mounting hole 12 formed therein. A rotating sleeve 30 is rotatably inserted into the rotating mounting hole 12 and is drivingly connected to a drive shaft 21 of the rotary driver 20. The camera assembly 40 is fixedly connected to the rotating sleeve 30. Therefore, the rotary driver 20 drives the rotating sleeve 30 to rotate and adjust the camera assembly 40, allowing the camera assembly 40 to rotate to a desired shooting angle or a privacy angle for blocking shooting. This allows the camera assembly 40 to be rotated and adjusted according to usage requirements, eliminating the need for multiple camera devices. Furthermore, since the rotatable mounting base 11 is integrally formed on the integral mounting frame 10, there is no need for a separate installation process for the rotatable mounting base 11, nor is there any need for additional parts to assist in the installation of the rotating shaft sleeve 30. This significantly reduces the number of parts required for assembly, making the assembly process more convenient and quicker. This not only reduces the number of assembly steps but also reduces the assembly difficulty, saving time and effort, significantly improving assembly efficiency, and thus reducing production costs. Furthermore, since the camera assembly 40 can be rotated to a desired shooting angle or a privacy-blocking angle based on usage requirements, the risk of being secretly photographed by malware within the handheld smart terminal can be avoided, better protecting privacy, making it more convenient to use, and significantly improving the user experience.

[0038] The present invention is described above in conjunction with the embodiments, but the present invention is not limited to the embodiments disclosed above, but should cover various modifications and equivalent combinations based on the essence of the present invention.
