[0034] In order to explain the technical content and structural features of the present invention in detail, the following is a further description in conjunction with the embodiments and the accompanying drawings.

[0035] See also Figures 1 to 4The present invention provides a camera device 100, which is suitable for use with an electronic device 1000. The camera device 100 includes a base 10, a camera module 20, and a rotating assembly 30. The base 10 is used to support the camera module 20 and is connected to the electronic device 1000. The base 10 includes a first electrical component 12 and a first connecting component 13. The first electrical component 12 is plugged into the electronic device 1000 and is electrically connected to the electronic device 1000. That is, the first electrical component 12 can simultaneously physically and electrically connect the base 10 and the electronic device 1000. The first connecting component 13 is detachably connected to the electronic device 1000 and can strengthen the connection between the base 10 and the electronic device 1000.

The rotating assembly 30 includes a first rotating member 31 disposed in the camera module 20, and a second rotating member 32 disposed in the base 10. The first rotating member 31 rotates around the second rotating member 32 to drive the camera module 20 to rotate around the base 10 , thereby adjusting the use angle of the camera module 20 .

[0036] Compared with the prior art, the camera device 100 of the present invention can rotate at multiple angles and is more convenient to use. The camera device 100 includes a base 10, a camera module 20 and a rotating assembly 30. The base 10 includes a first electrical component 12 and a first connecting component 13. The first electrical component 12 is plugged into the electronic device 1000 and is electrically connected to the electronic device 1000. The first connecting component 13 is detachably connected to the electronic device 1000. The base 10 can be installed and connected to the electronic device 1000 through the first electrical component 12, and can be electrically connected to the electronic device 1000.

The camera module 20 is connected to the electronic device 1000 through the base 10. The camera module 20 includes a second electrical component 23. The second electrical component 23 is electrically connected to the first electrical component 12 to be electrically connected to the electronic device 1000. On the other hand, the rotating assembly 30 includes a first rotating member 31 disposed in the camera module 20, and a second rotating member 32 disposed in the base 10. The first rotating member 31 rotates around the second rotating member 32 to drive the camera module 20 to rotate around the base 10. It can be understood that the camera module 20 is rotatably connected to the base 10 via the rotating assembly 30, and the camera module 20 can rotate at multiple angles relative to the base 10 to adjust to a suitable angle of use. The camera device 100 of the present invention can be disassembled from the electronic device 1000 for easy storage. When in use, the connection between the camera device 100 and the electronic device 1000 is stable, and the camera module 20 of the camera device 100 can rotate at multiple angles relative to the electronic device 1000, providing a better user experience.

[0037] See also Figures 3 to 6In some optional embodiments, the second electrical component 23 includes a connecting cable 231. A through hole 323 is defined in the second rotating member 32 for the connecting cable 231 to pass through. One end of the connecting cable 231 is connected to the second electrical component 23, and the other end of the connecting cable 231 passes through the through hole 323 and is connected to the first electrical component 12. The first rotating member 31 is provided with a first connecting portion 311 that is rotatably connected to the second rotating member 32. The second rotating member 32 is provided with a second connecting portion 321 that is rotatably connected to the first connecting portion 311. The first connecting portion 311 rotates along the second connecting portion 321 to drive the camera module 20 to rotate along the base 10. The second connecting portion 321 protrudes from one end of the second rotating member 32. The first connecting portion 311 has a hollow structure and is sleeved on the second connecting portion 321. In this embodiment, the first connecting portion 311 is a hollow mounting hole that is sleeved onto the protruding second connecting portion 321. The first rotating member 31 can rotate around the second connecting portion 321 through the mounting hole at multiple angles. The mounting hole is coaxial with the through hole 323 in the second rotating member 32, allowing the connecting cable 231 to pass through, resulting in a compact and reasonable structure.

[0038] See also Figures 3 to 6 In some optional embodiments, a stopper 312 is protruding from the first rotating member 31, and a limit block 322 is protruding from the second rotating member 32. The first rotating member 31 can rotate along the second rotating member 32 until the stopper 312 abuts the limit block 322. The camera module 20 includes a housing 21, on which a screen 22 is mounted. A first fixing portion 313 is fixedly connected to the housing 21 at one end of the first rotating member 31. The first fixing portion 313 is connected to the housing 21 to drive the camera module 20 to rotate synchronously. Meanwhile, the base 10 includes a housing 11. The second rotating member 32 includes a second fixing portion 324, which is fixed within the housing 11. The second connecting portion 321 extends from the housing 11 and connects to the first connecting portion 311 within the camera module 20. It can be understood that the first rotating member 31 drives the camera module 20 to rotate along the second rotating member 32, and the stopper 312 rotates with the rotation of the first rotating member 31. When the stopper 312 abuts the stopper 322, the first rotating member 31 will not rotate further, effectively preventing the connection cable 231 within the rotating assembly 30 from being tangled due to unlimited rotation of the camera module 20. When the stopper 312 abuts the stopper 322, the camera module 20 can be rotated back to adjust the camera angle to a suitable angle. In this embodiment, the stopper 312 is protrudingly provided on the first fixing portion 313, and the stopper 322 is protrudingly provided on one side of the second connecting portion 321.

[0039] See also Figure 3In some optional embodiments, the camera module 20 further includes a second connecting component 24. The second connecting component 24 is detachably connected to the first connecting component 13 to reinforce the fit between the camera module 20 and the base 10, making the structure more stable and easy to disassemble. The first connecting component 13 includes a first magnetic component 131, and a third magnetic component 202 that cooperates with the first magnetic component 131 is provided in the electronic device 1000. One end of the first magnetic component 131 is adsorbed and fixed on the electronic device 1000, and adsorbed with the third magnetic component 202 to reinforce the connection between the base 10 and the electronic device 1000. On the other hand, the second connecting component 24 includes a second magnetic component 241, and the other end of the first magnetic component 131 is adsorbed and fixed to the second magnetic component 241 to reinforce the connection between the camera module 20 and the base 10. It is understandable that when the camera module 20 rotates, the second magnetic member 241 will separate from the first magnetic member 131 . After the camera module 20 rotates 180°, the second magnetic member 241 will be adsorbed and fixed to the first magnetic member 131 again.

[0040] See also Figure 3 In some optional embodiments, a first anti-scratch wear-resistant part 14 is provided on the surface of the base 10 that cooperates with the electronic device 1000. A second anti-scratch wear-resistant part 25 is provided on the surface of the camera module 20 close to the base 10. The first wear-resistant part 14 can prevent wear between the base 10 and the electronic device 1000. The second wear-resistant part 25 can prevent wear of the housing 21 of the camera module 20 during rotation. The first wear-resistant part 14 and the second wear-resistant part 25 can both be Mylar sheets, which have high insulation strength, high voltage resistance, resistance to moisture, gas, high heat and chemical substances, and have the characteristics of low shrinkage, non-brittleness and wear resistance.
