Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of camera bracket technology, specifically to a camera bracket with an adjustable shooting angle. Background Technology

[0002] A camera bracket is a component used to fix a camera. Most existing camera brackets are small brackets, which are divided into two categories: injection molded materials and metal materials. The camera is usually fixed directly or through a protective cover. Therefore, the shape of the bracket varies depending on the application environment. Camera brackets generally have a universal adjustment function. By adjusting the bracket, the camera lens can be accurately pointed at the scene being filmed, thereby achieving the adjustment of the shooting angle.

[0003] Camera brackets play a crucial role in CCTV systems. Together with cameras, lenses, and other front-end equipment, they form the image acquisition portion of the system. For scenarios requiring fixed monitoring of a specific location without rotation, camera brackets are ideal. Standard camera brackets are easy to install, inexpensive, and come in a wide variety of models to suit different requirements.

[0004] To improve the stability of camera shooting, a hydraulic pan-tilt head can be installed on the camera bracket to adjust the shooting angle. However, common adjustable shooting angle camera brackets are relatively light, while cameras are relatively heavy, which makes the camera bracket top-heavy and prone to tipping over during installation. In view of this, this application proposes an adjustable shooting angle camera bracket. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an adjustable shooting angle camera bracket, which has the advantages of increasing the weight and stability of the camera bracket. It solves the problem that common adjustable shooting angle camera brackets are relatively light, while the camera itself is heavy, resulting in the camera bracket being top-heavy and prone to tipping over during installation.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an adjustable shooting angle camera bracket, including a support tube, a bottom end plate fixedly installed at the bottom end of the support tube, a bottom connecting stud fixedly installed at the bottom of the bottom end plate, a counterweight threaded on the surface of the bottom connecting stud, and a universal connecting screw hole opened at the top of the counterweight.

[0007] Furthermore, a support screw is slidably installed inside the support tube, a hydraulic gimbal is rotatably installed at the bottom of the support screw, and a control rod is fixedly installed on one side of the hydraulic gimbal.

[0008] Furthermore, a mounting plate is fixedly installed on the top of the hydraulic pan-tilt unit, and a top connecting stud is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting plate. The top connecting stud is compatible with a universal connecting screw hole and a camera connection hole.

[0009] Furthermore, a top adjusting nut is rotatably installed at the top end of the support tube, and the top adjusting nut is threadedly connected to the support screw.

[0010] Furthermore, a limiting sleeve is fixedly installed at the bottom of the top adjusting nut, and the limiting sleeve is rotatably connected to the support tube.

[0011] Furthermore, a limiting ring is fixedly installed on the surface of the support tube, and a limiting groove adapted to the limiting ring is opened on the inner side wall of the limiting sleeve.

[0012] Furthermore, a sliding sleeve is slidably mounted on the surface of the support tube, and three sets of sliding mounting plates are rotatably mounted on the surface of the sliding sleeve. Three support legs are rotatably mounted on the surface of the sliding sleeve through the sliding mounting plates. A connecting plate is fixedly mounted on the top of the support leg, and the connecting plate is rotatably mounted between two of the sliding mounting plates. A support plate is fixedly mounted on one side of the support leg.

[0013] Furthermore, three sets of fixed mounting plates are fixedly installed on the surface of the support tube near the bottom end. A rotating connecting rod is rotatably installed on the surface of the support tube near the bottom end through the fixed mounting plates. Connecting rod end plates are fixedly installed at both ends of the rotating connecting rod. One end of the connecting rod end plate is rotatably connected to the fixed mounting plate, and the other end of the connecting rod end plate is rotatably connected to the support plate.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a camera bracket with an adjustable shooting angle, which has the following advantages:

[0015] This adjustable-angle camera bracket features a bottom end plate at the bottom of the support tube, with a bottom connecting stud at the bottom of the end plate. A counterweight is then installed on the bottom thread of the bottom end plate via the bottom connecting stud, increasing the weight of the camera bracket and making the installation more stable. This solves the problem of common adjustable-angle camera brackets being too light, while the camera itself is too heavy, causing the camera bracket to be top-heavy and prone to tipping over during installation.
