[0024] Please see Figures 1-6 This utility model provides an embodiment of a small handheld camera with a rotatable lens, comprising a main housing 1, a rotating housing 2 at the right end of the main housing 1, a lens body 3 at the upper end of the rotating housing 2, a connecting plate 4 on the inner side of the main housing 1, a connecting ring 5 at the rear end of the connecting plate 4, a connecting shaft 6 on the inner side of the connecting ring 5, a connecting plate 7 on the inner side of the rotating housing 2, a connecting ring 8 on the front side of the connecting plate 7, a through groove 9 on the right side of the main housing 1, a limiting groove 10 on the side of the through groove 9 on the right side of the main housing 1, a through groove 11 on the left side of the rotating housing 2, a limiting buckle 12 on the side of the through groove 11 on the left side of the rotating housing 2, a display screen 13 fixedly mounted on the upper end of the main housing 1, and a magnetic block 14 fixedly mounted on the lower end of the main housing 1.

[0025] Please see Figures 1-3In this embodiment, the upper ends of the lens body 3 and the rotating housing 2 are fixedly connected. A protective cover 301 is provided on the upper end of the lens body 3. An electronic control board 101 and a battery 102 are provided on the inner side of the main housing 1. The lens body 3, the display screen 13, and the battery 102 are all electrically connected to the electronic control board 101. A plug-in interface 103 is provided on the front side of the main housing 1, and a sealing cover 104 is provided on the outer side of the plug-in interface 103. A control button 105 is provided on the rear side of the main housing 1. The plug-in interface 103 and the control button 105 are all electrically connected to the electronic control board 101. The protective cover 301 allows for quick fixation of the camera by attaching the magnetic block 14 to a support or fixed structure, facilitating its support, fixation, and carrying, or allowing for handheld shooting of the main housing 1. By opening the sealing cover 104, the data cable can be plugged into the connector 103 for convenient data transmission and charging of the battery 102. The control button 105 and the display screen 13 facilitate camera settings and image viewing. When not in use, the protective cover 301 and the sealing cover 104 can be replaced to provide dust protection for the lens body 3 and the connector 103.

[0026] Please see Figures 1-6 In this embodiment, the connecting plate 4 and the inner side of the main housing 1 are fixedly connected by bolts. The connecting ring 5 and the connecting plate 4 are integrally formed and fixedly connected to the left end of the connecting shaft 6. The connecting shaft 6 is slidably connected to the inner side of the through groove 9 and the through groove 11. The right end of the connecting shaft 6 extends to the inner side of the rotating housing 2 through the through groove 9 and the through groove 11, and a limiting plate 601 is fixedly installed thereon. The limiting plate 601 and the right side of the connecting ring 8 are mutually adapted. The connecting plate 7 and the inner side of the rotating housing 2 are fixedly connected by bolts. The connecting ring 8 and the outer side of the right end of the connecting shaft 6 are slidably sleeved and integrally formed with the connecting plate 7. There are two limiting grooves 10 arranged symmetrically front and back. The limiting buckle 12 has a trapezoidal structure and is engaged with the limiting groove 10. By twisting the rotating housing 2, it is deflected under the cooperation of the connecting shaft 6 and the connecting ring 8. At the same time, the limiting buckle 12 is disengaged from the limiting groove 10 until it engages with the other limiting groove 10, thereby limiting and fixing the rotating housing 2, thus realizing the rapid flipping and limiting of the lens body 3.

[0027] When in use, remove the protective cover 301 and attach the magnetic block 14 to the support or fixed structure to quickly fix the camera, making it easy to support, fix, and carry. Alternatively, hold the main housing 1 by hand for shooting. By opening the sealing cover 104, the data cable can be plugged into the interface 103 for easy data transmission and charging of the battery 102. The control button 105 and the display screen 13 facilitate camera settings and image viewing. When not in use, replace the protective cover 301 and the sealing cover 104 to protect the lens body 3 and the interface 103 from dust. When the lens body 3 needs to be rotated, rotate the housing 2 by twisting it, causing it to deflect under the cooperation of the connecting shaft 6 and the connecting ring 8. At the same time, the limiting buckle 12 is disengaged from the limiting groove 10 until it engages with another limiting groove 10, thereby limiting and fixing the rotating housing 2, thus enabling the lens body 3 to be quickly rotated and limited.

[0028] Through the above steps, the rotating housing 2 is twisted, causing it to deflect under the cooperation of the connecting shaft 6 and the connecting ring 8. At the same time, the limiting buckle 12 is forced to disengage from the limiting groove 10 until it engages with another limiting groove 10, thereby realizing the rapid flipping and limiting of the lens body 3. This solves the problem that the lens of existing small handheld cameras cannot be rotated, which makes the adjustment of the shooting direction time-consuming and laborious, and easily affects the stability of the camera shooting.
