Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of camera technology, and in particular to a rotating component for a camera. Background Technology

[0002] In camera applications, existing rotating components have significant limitations in camera adjustment. Traditional camera rotating components typically only support simple horizontal rotation, and have many limitations in adjusting camera angle, height, and distance.

[0003] From the perspective of angle adjustment, cameras need to adjust their shooting angle according to different scenes and targets during actual shooting. However, existing rotating components often cannot achieve multi-angle, flexible adjustment. For example, when shooting large buildings, if you want to shoot from below to obtain the overall visual effect of the building, existing rotating components cannot quickly and accurately adjust to the appropriate angle. Regarding camera height, when it is necessary to adjust the shooting height, traditional rotating components either cannot achieve flexible height changes or are very cumbersome to operate. This makes it difficult for the camera to reach the ideal shooting height in some scenarios where height changes are required. As for adjusting the camera's distance, existing rotating components also struggle to achieve precise and efficient adjustment. When shooting objects at different distances, the camera needs to quickly adjust its position to obtain the best shooting effect. However, traditional rotating components cannot quickly and accurately adjust the camera's distance, affecting the shooting effect.

[0004] Existing rotating components are not convenient for adjusting the camera angle, height, and distance, thus limiting the camera's shooting effect. Therefore, a rotating component for cameras is proposed to meet the diverse needs of cameras in different scenarios and improve shooting results. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model proposes a camera rotation component to more accurately solve the problem that existing rotation components are inconvenient for adjusting the camera position angle while simultaneously adjusting the camera's height and distance, thus limiting the camera's shooting effect.

[0006] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] This utility model proposes a rotating assembly for a camera. The rotating assembly includes a base and a protective shell. A turntable is provided on the top of the base. A movable groove is opened in the middle of the turntable. A threaded adjusting rod is movably installed in the movable groove. A slider is movably connected to the threaded adjusting rod. A telescopic rod is fixedly installed at the front and rear ends of the slider. The protective shell is square, and elliptical limiting grooves are opened on both sides of the protective shell.

[0008] Furthermore, a rotating shaft is movably mounted at the center of the base, and the top of the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the turntable.

[0009] Furthermore, the slider is movably mounted in the movable slot.

[0010] Furthermore, the upper part of the telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the protective shell.

[0011] Furthermore, a camera is installed inside the protective housing.

[0012] Furthermore, the limiting grooves on both sides of the protective shell are each movably connected to a connecting rod via a shaft.

[0013] Furthermore, the lower end of the connecting rod is provided with a shaft that is movably connected to the turntable.

[0014] Furthermore, the limiting groove is located in the middle between the two telescopic rods.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] 1. The telescopic rod proposed in this utility model can simultaneously adjust the vertical angle and height of the camera, which can not only meet the needs of different angles in complex shooting scenarios, but also enhance the sense of layering and three-dimensionality of the image and improve the shooting quality.

[0024] To more clearly and completely illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, the following description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0025] Please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 4 This utility model proposes a rotating assembly for a camera. In use, the rotating shaft 11 between the base 10 and the turntable 12 allows the turntable 12 to rotate 360 ​​degrees horizontally, thus enabling the camera 21 to rotate 360 ​​degrees horizontally. Driving the threaded adjusting rod 14 rotates the slider 25, which in turn moves the protective shell 20 and the camera 21, adjusting the front and rear camera positions. By controlling the movement of the two telescopic rods 24 on the slider 25, a height difference is created between the protective shell 20 and the camera 21, allowing adjustment of the vertical angle of the camera 21. Simultaneously, the two telescopic rods 24 can also adjust the camera's height. During the front-to-back movement of the camera 21 and the adjustment of its height and vertical position by the telescopic rods 24, the limiting grooves 22 and connecting rods 23 on both sides of the protective shell 20 cooperate to maintain its stability.

[0026] The base 10 is movably connected to the turntable 12 above the center position via a rotating shaft 11. One end of the rotating shaft 11 is fixed to the base 10, and the other end is inserted into the shaft hole in the center of the turntable 12, allowing the turntable 12 to rotate freely around the shaft. To ensure the stability and smoothness of the rotation, a bearing can be added at the connection between the rotating shaft 11 and the turntable 12. The bearing is sleeved on the rotating shaft 11, and the turntable 12 is connected to the base 10 through the bearing. This connection method can withstand the radial force generated when the turntable 12 rotates, and also ensure the rotation accuracy of the turntable 12. The drive device that drives the rotating shaft 11 between the base 10 and the turntable 12 is turned on. The drive device drives the turntable 12 to rotate horizontally around the rotating shaft 11, realizing the 360-degree horizontal rotation of the camera 21. By controlling the rotation direction and speed of the drive device, the camera 21 can reach the required angle in the horizontal direction.

[0027] A movable groove 13 is provided in the middle of the turntable 12. The threaded adjusting rod 14 is movably installed in the movable groove 13. The two ends of the threaded adjusting rod 14 are connected to the two side walls of the movable groove 13 through bushings. The bushings can rotate freely in the movable groove 13. Lubricant can be added between the bushings and the walls of the movable groove 13 to reduce rotational friction. The threaded adjusting rod 14 is controlled to rotate by a motor. When the threaded adjusting rod 14 rotates, the threads on its surface cooperate with the threaded holes on the slider 25, thereby driving the slider 25 to move along the axial direction of the threaded adjusting rod 14 in the movable groove 13. By operating the drive device of the threaded adjusting rod 14, the threaded adjusting rod 14 is rotated. As the threaded adjusting rod 14 rotates, the slider 25 moves along the thread direction in the movable groove 13. The slider 25 drives the protective shell 20 of the camera 21 and the camera 21 to move back and forth along the radial direction of the turntable 12. The position of the camera 21 is observed, and the adjustment distance is determined according to actual needs. When the camera 21 moves to the appropriate position, the rotation of the threaded adjusting rod 14 is stopped.

[0028] Telescopic rods 24 are fixedly installed at the front and rear ends of the slider 25. The bottom of the telescopic rods 24 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the slider 25 by bolts or welding. When bolting, corresponding screw holes are made on the slider 25, and the bottom of the telescopic rods 24 is fixed to the upper surface of the slider 25 by bolts. When welding, the bottom of the telescopic rods 24 is directly welded to the upper surface of the slider 25. Regardless of the connection method, the connection between the telescopic rods 24 and the slider 25 must be firm and able to withstand the tension and pressure generated by the telescopic rods 24 during extension and retraction. A protective shell 20 for the camera 21 is fixedly installed on top of the telescopic rods 24. The top of the telescopic rods 24 is connected to the bottom of the protective shell 20 for the camera 21 by bolts or welding. When bolting, corresponding screw holes are made on the bottom of the protective shell 20 for the camera 21, and the top of the telescopic rods 24 is fixed to the bottom of the protective shell 20 by bolts. When welding, the top of the telescopic rods 24 is directly welded to the bottom of the protective shell 20. At the same time, the connection between the protective shell 20 for the camera 21 and the telescopic rods 24 should be sealed. To prevent dust and moisture from entering the protective housing 20 and affecting the normal operation of the camera 21, two telescopic rods 24 on the slider 25 are controlled separately. By controlling the extension and retraction of the telescopic rods 24, a height difference is created on both sides of the protective housing 20. When one telescopic rod 24 extends and the other telescopic rod 24 shortens, the protective housing 20 tilts, thereby adjusting the vertical angle of the camera 21. During the adjustment process, the change in the vertical angle of the camera 21 is observed. The adjustment angle can be determined by the image display of the camera 21 or an external angle measuring tool. The extension and retraction of the telescopic rods 24 is adjusted according to actual needs until a satisfactory vertical angle is achieved. As needed, the telescopic rods 24 on the slider 25 are controlled to extend and retract in the vertical direction. When the telescopic rods 24 extend, the height of the protective housing 20 and the camera 21 rises; when the telescopic rods 24 shorten, the height of the camera 21 decreases. By controlling the extension and retraction of the telescopic rods 24, the camera 21 reaches the required height. During the adjustment process, the change in the height of the camera 21 is observed to ensure that the height of the camera 21 meets the actual requirements.

[0029] The protective shell 20 is movably connected to the connecting rod 23 on both sides via shafts. An elliptical limiting groove 22 is provided at the shaft connection point, located in the middle between the two telescopic rods 24. One end of the connecting rod 23 is connected to the shaft holes on both sides of the protective shell 20 via a shaft. Bearings can be added between the shaft and the shaft holes to allow the connecting rod 23 to rotate freely around the shaft. The clearance between the shaft and the shaft holes should be appropriate to ensure flexible rotation of the connecting rod 23 while preventing wobbling during rotation. The elliptical limiting groove 22 cooperates with the shaft of the connecting rod 23, allowing the shaft of the connecting rod 23 to move within the limiting groove 22. When the protective shell 20 is adjusting the camera 21... When the vertical angle or height is reached, the connecting rod 23 and the limiting groove 22 cooperate with each other to limit the movement range of the protective shell 20 and ensure the stability of the protective shell 20. The lower end of the connecting rod 23 is provided with a shaft that is movably connected to the turntable 12. The shaft at the lower end of the connecting rod 23 is inserted into the shaft hole on the edge of the turntable 12. A bearing can be added between the shaft and the shaft hole to allow the connecting rod 23 to rotate freely around the shaft. The clearance fit between the shaft and the shaft hole should be appropriate to ensure that the connecting rod 23 can stably support the protective shell 20 during rotation. The connection method between the connecting rod 23 and the turntable 12 is similar to the connection method between the protective shell 20 and the connecting rod 23, and both need to ensure the flexibility and stability of rotation.

[0030] When adjusting the camera 21, the hinge 11 between the turntable 12 and the base 10 allows the camera 21 to easily rotate 360 ​​degrees horizontally, providing a full-range shooting perspective. Simultaneously, the threaded adjustment rod 14 on the turntable 12, in conjunction with the slider 25, allows for flexible adjustment of the camera 21's forward and backward position, enabling precise adjustment of its distance. Regarding height adjustment, the telescopic rod 24 allows the camera 21 to quickly adjust its height according to actual needs. Whether shooting birds in flight or buildings on the ground, the height of the camera 21 can be changed by extending or retracting the telescopic rod 24 to obtain the ideal shooting angle. For angle adjustment, controlling the extension and retraction of the telescopic rod 24 creates a height difference between the two sides of the protective shell 20, thereby achieving multi-angle adjustment of the camera 21. This adjustment method not only meets the needs of different angles in complex shooting scenarios but also enhances the layering and three-dimensionality of the image, improving shooting quality. By conveniently adjusting the camera position, angle, height, and distance simultaneously, the shooting effect is greatly improved, providing users with a richer and higher-quality shooting experience and meeting the needs of various shooting scenarios.

[0031] Of course, there may be other implementations of this utility model. Based on this implementation, other implementations obtained by those skilled in the art without any creative effort are all within the scope of protection of this utility model.
