It is widely used in security monitoring, video communication, autonomous driving, and industrial inspection. Its core function is to transform real-world scenes into visual information that can be processed, stored, or transmitted through image sensors, providing crucial visual perception capabilities for modern information systems. However, once installed, cameras often lack adjustable positioning capabilities, presenting a technical problem.
[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new camera mounting structure to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a camera mounting structure that solves the technical problem of poor adjustability of the camera after installation.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes a camera mounting structure, comprising:
[0006] Erect a pole;
[0007] A fixed bracket is provided on the upright;
[0008] An adjustment mechanism is provided, comprising a driving component and a first mounting bracket. The first mounting bracket is rotatably mounted on the fixed bracket. The driving component is mounted on the fixed bracket and is used to drive the first mounting bracket to rotate. The rotation axis of the first mounting bracket is parallel to the central axis of the upright.
[0009] The camera mechanism includes a second mounting bracket and a camera. The second mounting bracket is disposed on the first mounting bracket, and the camera is rotatably disposed on the second mounting bracket. The rotation axis of the camera is out of plane and perpendicular to the central axis of the pole.
[0010] In one embodiment, the adjustment mechanism further includes a rotating shaft, the first mounting bracket being rotatably mounted on the fixed bracket via the rotating shaft, and the driving member being used to drive the rotating shaft to rotate, thereby driving the first mounting bracket to rotate.
[0011] In one embodiment, a first helical gear is provided at one end of the rotating shaft, and a second helical gear is provided at the output end of the driving member, wherein the first helical gear meshes with the second helical gear.
[0012] In one embodiment, the adjusting mechanism further includes a locking pin, which passes through the end of the rotating shaft away from the first helical gear, and the locking pin can abut against the first mounting bracket.
[0013] In one embodiment, the first mounting bracket includes a first connecting portion, a second connecting portion, and a third connecting portion connected in sequence. The first connecting portion and the third connecting portion are spaced apart on the same side of the second connecting portion. A portion of the fixing bracket is disposed between the first connecting portion and the third connecting portion. The rotating shaft passes through the first connecting portion, the fixing bracket, and the third connecting portion in sequence.
[0014] In one embodiment, a first synchronous pulley is provided at one end of the rotating shaft, and a second synchronous pulley is provided at the output end of the driving member. The first synchronous pulley and the second synchronous pulley are connected by a synchronous belt.
[0015] In one embodiment, the camera mounting structure further includes a housing that covers the adjustment mechanism. The housing has a circumferentially extending groove. The first mounting bracket has a connecting block that is slidably disposed in the groove and passes through the groove to connect with the second mounting bracket.
[0016] In one embodiment, the camera mounting structure further includes a solar panel, which is disposed on the fixed bracket and electrically connected to the camera.
[0017] In one embodiment, the solar panel is inclined relative to the fixed support.
[0018] In one embodiment, the fixed bracket is provided with a clamping member, which includes a first clamping block and a second clamping block. A first side of the first clamping block is rotatably connected to a first side of the second clamping block.

[0019] The technical solution of this utility model involves rotatably mounting a first mounting bracket to a fixed bracket, and rotatably mounting the camera to a second mounting bracket already mounted to the first mounting bracket. This allows for adjustment of the camera's position after installation, enhancing its adjustability. In this embodiment, by rotatably mounting the camera to the second mounting bracket and ensuring that the camera's rotation axis is skewed from and perpendicular to the central axis of the pole, the camera's tilt angle can be adjusted after installation, thereby adjusting the camera's shooting angle. By mounting the second mounting bracket to the first mounting bracket, rotatably mounting the first mounting bracket to the fixed bracket, and ensuring that the rotation axis of the first mounting bracket is parallel to the central axis of the pole, the camera's horizontal position can be adjusted after installation. A driving component is used to drive the first mounting bracket to rotate. Specifically, when the camera is installed and the shooting angle and horizontal position need to be adjusted, the operator only needs to rotate the camera and control the driving component to rotate the first mounting bracket, thus adjusting the camera's shooting angle and horizontal position. This allows for adjustment of the camera's position in multiple dimensions after installation, enhancing its adjustability. This camera mounting structure is applicable to the technical field of camera equipment. Attached Figure Description

[0031] A camera is a device used to capture optical images and convert them into electronic signals or digital data. It is widely used in security monitoring, video communication, autonomous driving, and industrial inspection. In actual production and research, researchers have found that cameras are typically installed using rigid connections, such as fixing them to a wall or device with bolts. However, cameras installed in this way cannot be adjusted after installation. To adjust the camera's shooting angle or horizontal position, it must be removed and reinstalled, lacking adjustability.
[0032] This utility model proposes a camera mounting structure, which aims to solve the technical problem of poor adjustability of the camera after installation.
[0033] Please see Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment of this utility model, the camera mounting structure includes a pole 100, a fixed bracket 200, an adjustment mechanism 300, and a camera mechanism 400. The fixed bracket 200 is disposed on the pole 100. The adjustment mechanism 300 includes a driving member 310 and a first mounting bracket 320. The first mounting bracket 320 is rotatably disposed on the fixed bracket 200. The driving member 310 is disposed on the fixed bracket 200 and is used to drive the first mounting bracket 320 to rotate. The rotation axis of the first mounting bracket 320 is parallel to the central axis of the pole 100. The camera mechanism 400 includes a second mounting bracket 410 and a camera 420. The second mounting bracket 410 is disposed on the first mounting bracket 320. The camera 420 is rotatably disposed on the second mounting bracket 410. The rotation axis of the camera 420 is out of plane and perpendicular to the central axis of the pole 100. In a specific embodiment, the driving member 310 may be a drive motor.
[0034] The technical solution of this utility model involves rotatably mounting the first mounting bracket 320 onto the fixed bracket 200, and rotatably mounting the camera 420 onto the second mounting bracket 410 already mounted on the first mounting bracket 320. This allows for adjustment of the camera 420's position after installation, improving the camera's adjustability. In this embodiment, by rotatably mounting the camera 420 onto the second mounting bracket 410, and ensuring that the camera 420's rotation axis is skewed from and perpendicular to the central axis of the pole 100, the tilt angle of the camera 420 can be adjusted after installation, thereby adjusting the camera 420's shooting angle. By mounting the second mounting bracket 410 onto the first mounting bracket 320, rotatably mounting the first mounting bracket 320 onto the fixed bracket 200, and ensuring that the rotation axis of the first mounting bracket 320 is parallel to the central axis of the pole 100, the horizontal position of the camera 420 can be adjusted after installation. The driving component 310 is used to drive the first mounting bracket 320 to rotate. Specifically, after the camera 420 is installed and its shooting angle and horizontal position need to be adjusted, the operator only needs to rotate the camera 420 and control the drive component 310 to rotate the first mounting bracket 320. This allows for adjustment of the camera 420's shooting angle and horizontal position in multiple dimensions after installation, enhancing its adjustability. This camera mounting structure is applicable to technical fields such as video equipment.

The first helical gear 331 and the second helical gear 311 mesh. In this embodiment, the driving member 310 drives the rotating shaft 330 to rotate through helical gear meshing, which has the characteristic of smooth transmission and can improve the stability of the driving member 310 when driving the first mounting bracket 320 to rotate.

In this embodiment, the first mounting bracket 320 has a U-shaped structure. By accommodating a portion of the fixing bracket 200 in the groove formed by the first mounting bracket 320, the reliability of the connection between the first mounting bracket 320 and the fixing bracket 200 can be improved, thereby ensuring the structural stability of the camera mounting structure. In one specific embodiment, in order to avoid interference between the first mounting bracket 320 and the fixed bracket 200 when rotating, the end of the portion of the fixed bracket 200 located in the first connecting portion 321 and the second connecting portion 322 can be set in an arc shape.
