The schematic implementation methods of the present invention and their descriptions are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0026] Example
[0027] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 This embodiment provides a conference microphone with a camera mechanism, including a microphone body, the microphone body including a microphone rod 10 and a base 20, the microphone rod 10 is connected to the base 20 through an angle adjustment mechanism, so that the microphone rod 10 can be adjusted in pitch along a vertical plane; secondly, it includes a camera mechanism, the camera mechanism includes an adjustment rod 30 and a camera 31, one end of the adjustment rod 30 is hinged to the tail end of the microphone rod 10, so that the adjustment rod 30 can be adjusted in pitch along a vertical plane with the microphone rod 10 as the base, and the camera 31 is arranged at the free end of the adjustment rod 30.
[0028] The conference microphone with a camera mechanism provided in this embodiment solves the problem of delay and audio-visual asynchrony caused by the separate settings of the microphone and camera from the root by simultaneously setting the microphone body and the camera mechanism and integrating the two into one. Specifically, the microphone body is provided to include a microphone rod 10 and a base 20, and the microphone rod 10 is connected to the base 20 through an angle adjustment mechanism, so that the microphone rod 10 can be adjusted in pitch along the vertical plane to adapt to the mouth height of different speakers. On this basis, the camera mechanism is provided to include an adjustment rod 30 and a camera 31, so that one end of the adjustment rod 30 is hinged to the tail end of the microphone rod 10, and the camera is fixed to the base 20. The head 31 is arranged at the free end of the adjustment rod 30, so that the camera 31 can move synchronously with the microphone body, so that when the speaker approaches the microphone body, the camera 31 will inevitably point to the speaker synchronously. By setting the adjustment rod 30 and the microphone rod 10 to be hinged, the adjustment rod 30 can be rotated along the vertical plane, so that the direction of the camera 31 can be adaptively adjusted to compensate for the distance between the speaker's mouth and face, thereby adapting to speakers with different face lengths and face shapes; through the mutual cooperation of the above-mentioned features, the conference microphone with a camera mechanism can effectively solve the problem of the speaker's voice and picture imaging being out of sync during the meeting.
[0029] In order to avoid unnecessary lateral deviation of the camera 31 when adjusting the angle of the camera 31 , the adjustment rod 30 is coplanar with the microphone rod 10 .
[0030] In order to improve the integrity of the structure and facilitate storage of the entire device when not in use, the length of the adjustment rod 30 matches the length of the microphone rod 10; the adjustment rod 30 can be rotated to be parallel to the microphone rod 10. When the adjustment rod 30 is parallel to the microphone rod 10, the adjustment rod 30 is located above the microphone rod 10, and the adjustment rod 30 is attached to the microphone rod 10.
[0031] In order to further enhance the structural integrity and properly protect the camera 31, the side wall of the microphone rod 10 is provided with a recessed groove 11, which extends along the axial direction of the microphone rod 10; when the adjustment rod 30 is parallel to the microphone rod 10, the adjustment rod 30 is partially embedded in the recessed groove 11, so that the side wall of the adjustment rod 30 and the side wall of the microphone rod 10 have a smooth transition.
[0032] In order to further improve the bending resistance of the adjustment rod 30 and increase the contact area between the adjustment rod 30 and the microphone rod 10 to avoid unnecessary stress concentration when not in use, the adjustment rod 30 is triangular prism-shaped and contacts the embedding groove 11.
[0033] In order to further explain the specific structure of the microphone rod 10, a cavity is provided in the head end of the microphone rod 10; the head end of the microphone rod 10 is hollowed out to form a plurality of sound-transmitting holes 101, so that the cavity is connected to the external environment through the sound-transmitting holes 101; the head end of the microphone rod 10 is provided with a microphone head 12, and the microphone head 12 is embedded in the cavity; the place where the sound-transmitting holes 101 are opened on the microphone rod 10 is covered with a metal mesh cover 102.
[0034] It should be noted that the microphone rod 10 and the microphone head 12 can adopt any microphone internal structure and connection method in the prior art to achieve the basic functions of the microphone.
[0035] In order to further explain the specific structure of the angle adjustment mechanism, the angle adjustment mechanism includes a pillar 40 and a limit member 41; the top end of the pillar 40 is hinged to the microphone rod 10, and the hinge axis is perpendicular to the plane where the microphone rod 10 and the adjustment rod 30 are located. The bottom end of the pillar 40 is connected to a screw rod 401, and the screw rod 401 is connected to the base 20 through a nut; the limit member 41 is used to limit the rotation of the screw rod 401.
[0036] Through the above arrangement, the bottom end of the support 40 can be detachably connected to the base 20. Considering that the nut needs to be rotated during the connection, and it is hoped that the screw 401 does not rotate during the process so that the nut can be smoothly rotated and screwed in relative to the screw 401, a limiter 41 is provided to limit the rotation of the screw 401.
[0037] In order to further explain the specific structure of the limiter 41, a sheet groove 201 is dug on the top of the base 20; the limiter 41 is in the shape of a sheet with a hole in the middle, the limiter 41 matches the sheet groove 201 and is embedded in the sheet groove 201, and the hole wall of the limiter 41 is provided with a limit edge 411 so that the hole of the limiter 41 is irregularly shaped, and the radial cross-section of the screw 401 matches the hole of the limiter 41.
[0038] Through the above-mentioned arrangement, the limiting member 41 is embedded in the sheet groove 201, so that the limiting member 41 is fixed while preventing it from unnecessary sliding, slipping and rotation; by setting the limiting edge 411, the hole is made irregular in shape, and the radial cross-section of the screw 401 is matched, so that when the screw 401 is inserted into the hole, it cannot rotate, thereby realizing rotation limitation.
[0039] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the shape of the hole is a special-shaped hole formed by cutting a circular hole along two cutting lines. Other shapes may also be used in other embodiments.
[0040] Preferably, the top surface of the base 20 is tilted, and the tilt direction is opposite to the tilt direction of the microphone rod 10 ; a glass layer 42 is laid on the top surface of the base 20 , and the limiting member 41 is pressed against the bottom surface of the glass layer 42 .
[0041] In order to improve the stability of the entire device during use, a plurality of shock-absorbing pads 50 are provided at the bottom of the base 20 .
[0042] The specific implementation methods described above further illustrate the purpose, technical solutions and beneficial effects of the utility model in detail. It should be understood that the above description is only a specific implementation method of the utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the utility model. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the utility model should be included in the scope of protection of the utility model.
