These design features work together to allow the lens to be easily and accurately inserted into the camera body along the guide rounded corners of the slot, achieving initial positioning and greatly simplifying the lens installation process, thus improving installation efficiency. Compared to some earlier, simple, and cumbersome wooden lens fixing structures, this structure causes minimal damage to the wooden camera body during installation, helping to maintain the overall aesthetics and extend its service life.

[0017] 3. This wooden locking mechanism combines wooden components with a mechanical structure, possessing not only natural aesthetics and creating a warm and welcoming learning atmosphere, but also functionally meeting the modern teaching demands for convenience, stability, and versatility. This innovative design enhances the product's interactivity, helps improve its competitiveness in the educational equipment market, and provides users with a better experience.

[0022] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, which are only used to illustrate the basic structure of the present invention in a schematic manner, and therefore only show the components related to the present invention.

[0023] like Figure 1 The illustrated wooden mounting structure for a camera includes: a camera body 1, a lens 2, a slot 3, and a locking mechanism. The camera body 1 is a hollow wooden frame structure to accommodate the lens 2 and provide mounting space for it. One end of the lens 2 has a protrusion corresponding to the slot 3.

[0024] The slot 3 is located at one end of the camera body 1 and is used for the initial insertion of the lens 2. The slot 3 includes an upper slot wall, a lower slot wall, and two side slot walls. The upper and lower slot walls are positioned opposite each other, and the distance between them matches the diameter of the lens 2, allowing the lens 2 to be smoothly inserted within a certain tolerance range. The ends of the side slot walls are rounded to ensure that the lens 2 is accurately inserted into the slot 3.

[0025] like Figure 2 The locking mechanism shown is located on the right side of the camera head near the lens 2. The locking mechanism includes: a locking groove 4, a locking cylinder 5, and a locking lever 6. The locking cylinder 5 is located on the outer surface of the camera body 1 and is manually operated by rotation. The locking cylinder 5 is connected to the locking lever 6. The locking lever 6 extends through the side wall of the camera body 1 into the interior of the camera body 1.

[0026] The locking groove 4 is located on the right side of the camera body 1 corresponding to the lens 2, and the shape of the locking groove 4 matches the shape of the end of the locking rod 6.

[0027] The outer surface of the camera body 1 is polished to ensure user comfort during operation and to prevent scratches to the camera or other equipment.

[0028] The upper and lower card slot walls have a smooth coating to reduce friction when the lens 2 is inserted.

[0029] When the locking lever 6 is rotated to a specific angle, the end of the locking lever 6 can be inserted into the locking groove 4 to lock or unlock the lens 2.

[0030] The specific angle is 30-120 degrees.

[0031] The two side slot walls are perpendicular to the upper and lower slot walls to limit the horizontal displacement of lens 2.

[0032] The working principle of this invention is as follows: First, the lens 2 is aligned with the slot 3 at one end of the camera body 1. One end of the lens 2 has a protrusion corresponding to the slot 3. The slot 3 includes an upper slot wall, a lower slot wall, and two side slot walls. The upper and lower slot walls are positioned opposite each other, and the distance between them matches the diameter of the lens 2. The surfaces of the upper and lower slot walls have a smooth coating to reduce insertion friction. The ends of the side slot walls have rounded corners for guidance. With the cooperation of these structures, the lens 2 is smoothly inserted into the slot 3 along the guide rounded corners. At this point, the lens 2 is initially positioned on the camera body 1 under the constraint of the slot 3. The side slot walls are perpendicular to the upper and lower slot walls, restricting the horizontal displacement of the lens 2.

[0033] After the lens 2 is initially fixed in the slot 3, the locking mechanism is operated. The locking cylinder 5 is located on the outer surface of the camera body 1 and can be rotated manually. The locking cylinder 5 is connected to the locking rod 6, and rotating the locking cylinder 5 causes the locking rod 6 to move. The locking rod 6 extends through the side wall of the camera body 1 into the interior of the camera body 1. A locking groove 4 is provided at the corresponding position on the right side of the lens 2 inside the camera body 1. The shape of the locking groove 4 matches the shape of the end of the locking rod 6.

[0034] When the lock cylinder 5 is rotated clockwise, the locking lever 6 also rotates clockwise. When the locking lever 6 rotates to an angle between 30 and 120 degrees, the end of the locking lever 6 accurately inserts into the locking groove 4, thereby locking the lens 2. In this locked state, the lens 2 cannot rotate left or right, ensuring the stability of the lens 2's position during camera use.

[0035] When it is necessary to remove lens 2, manually rotate lock cylinder 5 to rotate lock rod 6 counterclockwise, and the end of lock rod 6 disengages from lock groove 4, releasing the locked state of lens 2.

[0036] Then, rotate lens 2 clockwise. When lens 2 rotates clockwise by a certain angle, the tail structure of lens 2 collides with the external structure of the hole in camera body 1, making a clicking sound, indicating that lens 2 is open, and lens 2 rotates back to the position aligned with the slot 3.

[0037] Finally, remove lens 2 from camera body 1 along slot 3, completing the disassembly of lens 2. During installation and disassembly, the outer surface of camera body 1 is polished to ensure user comfort and prevent scratches to the camera or other equipment. Throughout the process, when lens 2 is rotated counterclockwise at a specific angle, the tail structure of lens 2 collides with the outer structure of the hollow part of camera body 1, producing a clicking sound to indicate that lens 2 is closed.
