[0002] As an indispensable communication tool in people's daily life and work, the telephone is widely used for its convenience and speed. However, traditional telephones can only "hear the voice but not see the person". With the development of society, the desire to see the other party while talking has become a new market demand. Especially in corporate conference scenarios, traditional telephones can no longer meet customers' requirements for easy operation and personnel visualization. In order to better meet market needs, a type of visual telephone device that is more oriented to scenarios such as corporate meetings has emerged, namely video conferencing phones. Figure 1 The structure of the existing video conferencing phone shown in the figure limits the position of the user and the video conferencing phone during use. The phone needs to be placed in a fixed position to achieve a better video effect. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem solved by the present invention is to overcome the defects mentioned in the background technology and provide a structure for realizing arbitrary rotation angle of a video phone.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a structure for realizing arbitrary rotation angles of a video phone, comprising a microphone, a rotating shaft assembly, and a bracket, wherein the microphone is mounted on the side of the video phone, and the bracket is mounted on the lower end of the video phone via the rotating shaft assembly, the rotating shaft assembly comprising a screw in the middle, a rotating shaft static plate and a rotating shaft dynamic plate mounted on the screw, and a damping plate is sleeved on the screw on the outer side of the rotating shaft static plate, a nut is threaded onto the end of the screw, the bottom of the rotating shaft dynamic plate is mounted on the bracket via a fixing screw, and the rotating shaft static plate is mounted on the fixing hole inside the video phone via the fixing screw.

[0005] Furthermore, a pair of rotating shaft assemblies are respectively provided on both sides of the speaker at the bottom of the video phone, and both ends of the rotating shaft assemblies are respectively fixed to the video phone and the bracket.

[0006] Furthermore, the video phone is equipped with a camera, and the shaft assembly and the microphone rotate synchronously. The microphone and the phone are relatively fixed, and the phone and the bracket rotate relatively to form an angle of 0-80 degrees. At the same time, the camera and the display screen of the video phone are on the same plane.

[0007] Furthermore, the bracket adopts a U-shaped structure, and the bottom of the bracket is parallel to the desktop.

[0008] Furthermore, the diameter of the turntable position of the rear end shaft assembly of the bracket is the same as the diameter of the cylinder at the lower end of the video phone.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0010] This structure utilizes a damping plate that provides friction during rotation, enabling infinite rotation to meet any angle requirements. The hinge assembly allows users to easily rotate the video phone to any angle to accommodate different meeting environments or personal preferences. This flexibility significantly improves the convenience and comfort of video conferencing, especially when multiple angles are needed or the viewing angle needs to be adjusted to accommodate different participants. The present invention utilizes the space available for the speaker on the bottom of the video phone to accommodate the hinge assembly, without adding extra bulk or occupying more desk space. This compact design makes the video phone particularly suitable for use in limited spaces, such as small conference rooms or home offices. The U-shaped bracket not only firmly supports the video phone but also ensures its parallelism to the desktop, improving its stability during rotation. This design reduces shaking or tilting caused by instability, ensuring high-quality video calls. The 60-120-degree angle between the camera and the video phone display optimizes the visual experience during video calls. This angle range helps reduce light reflections and shadow interference, making video calls more natural and comfortable, and improving the efficiency and effectiveness of remote communication.

[0019] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] See also Figure 2-7 The utility model provides a technical solution: a structure for realizing arbitrary rotation angle of a video phone, including

[0021] Microphone 1: This microphone is mounted on the side of the video phone 2 and is used to capture the user's voice. When the video phone rotates, the microphone rotates in sync with the video phone, ensuring that the direction of sound collection is always consistent with the direction the user is facing.

[0022] Video phone 2: It is the main body of the entire system, integrating components such as the display screen and camera. Inside the video phone, there is a fixing hole 21 for installing the rotating shaft static piece 33 to achieve connection with the rotating shaft assembly.

[0023] Shaft assembly 3: It is the key component to realize the arbitrary rotation angle of the video phone;

[0024] Damping plate 31: Sleeved on screw 32, it provides the necessary damping force, allowing the video phone to stop smoothly and slowly at any angle during rotation, avoiding sudden rotation or excessive rotation;

[0025] Screw 32: serves as the central axis of the shaft assembly, connecting the shaft static piece 33 and the shaft moving piece 35;

[0026] The rotating shaft static piece 33 is mounted on the fixing hole 21 inside the video phone through the fixing screw 5 and rotates with the video phone;

[0027] Nut 34: Threaded onto the end of the screw, used to fix the various components of the shaft assembly to ensure the stability of the structure;

[0028] Rotating shaft 35: mounted on bracket 4 via fixing screw 5, serving as a support point for rotation, allowing the video phone to rotate relative to the bracket;

[0029] Bracket 4: The bracket adopts a U-shaped structure to firmly support the video phone. The bottom of the bracket is parallel to the surface of the desktop, ensuring that the video phone remains stable during rotation. The diameter of the turntable of the rear hinge assembly is the same as the diameter of the cylinder at the bottom of the video phone, providing sufficient rotation space and stability for the video phone.

[0030] Install the fixed shaft piece 33 on the fixing hole 21 inside the video phone 2 using the fixing screw 5. Install the movable shaft piece 35 on the bracket 4 using the fixing screw 5. Slide the damping plate 31 onto the screw 32 and insert the screw through the center holes of the fixed shaft piece and the movable shaft piece. Finally, screw the nut 34 to secure the shaft assembly.

[0031] The user can manually rotate the video phone 2, achieving infinite rotation through the friction provided by the damping plate 31 of the hinge assembly 3. The hinge static plate 33 rotates with the video phone, while the hinge dynamic plate 35 is fixed to the bracket 4, forming a support point for rotation. The damping plate 31 provides appropriate resistance during rotation, allowing the video phone to stop at any angle and maintain stability.

[0032] The camera should be parallel to the video phone's display to ensure the best viewing experience during video calls. Microphone 1 rotates synchronously with the video phone to ensure that the direction of sound collection is always consistent with the user's direction. This angle range helps optimize the viewing experience during video calls and reduces light reflections and shadow interference. If the angle is not suitable, the angle of video phone 2 can be adjusted appropriately.

[0033] When using the video phone, the user can easily rotate the video phone 2 to any angle through the rotating shaft assembly 3. The damping plate 31 provides friction during the rotation process, achieving infinite rotation to meet any angle requirements.

[0034] The angle of the video phone 2 can be adjusted according to different meeting environments or personal usage habits. For example, in a small meeting room, the video phone 2 can be rotated to a suitable angle to better display the participants or conference materials.

[0035] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
