Specifically, the solar panel shell 21 has an accommodation groove 211 located on the side of the solar panel shell away from the connecting piece 130, and the solar panel 24 is accommodated and fixed in the accommodation groove 211. The solar panel shell 21 has a protective effect on the solar panel 24, and the solar panel 24 is arranged on the side of the solar panel shell 21 away from the connecting piece 130, which is beneficial to the collection of solar energy by the solar panel 24 and can avoid damage to the solar panel 24 during the movement of the connecting piece 130.

[0083] In some embodiments of the present application, the solar panel shell 21 includes a shell body 212 and a fixed block 213 fixed to the shell body 212. The first end 31 of the connecting piece 130 is rotatably connected to the fixed block 213 through the first rotating shaft 32.

[0084] In some embodiments of the present application, the fixed block 213 has a through hole 2131, the first rotating shaft 32 is located in the through hole 2131, and both ends of the first rotating shaft 32 protrude from the fixed block 213; the first end 31 of the connecting piece 130 includes two first protruding parts 37 arranged opposite to each other and spaced apart.

[0085] In some embodiments of the present application, the fixed block 213 is rotatably connected to the first rotating shaft 32, and both ends of the first rotating shaft 32 protruding from the fixed block 213 are fixedly connected to the first protruding parts 37, respectively.

[0086] In some embodiments of the present application, the fixed block 213 is fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft 32, and both ends of the first rotating shaft 32 protruding from the fixed block 213 are rotatably connected to the first protruding parts 37, respectively.

[0091] In the present application, the connecting line connecting the solar panels 24 can be arranged in the solar panel housing 21 or between the solar panel housing 21 and the solar panels 24, so as to avoid exposure of the connecting line and protect the connecting line, thereby prolonging the service life of the connecting line.

[0092] The connecting member 130 is switched between the third state and the fourth state, which is beneficial to adjusting the position and angle of the solar panel assembly 120 as needed, and there is no need to assemble the solar panel assembly 120 by oneself.

[0093] In some embodiments of the present application, the first end 31 of the connecting member 130 is rotatably connected to the solar panel assembly 120 through a first rotating shaft 32, and the second end 33 of the connecting member 130 is rotatably connected to the solar panel assembly 120 through a second rotating shaft 34. The first rotating shaft 32 and the second rotating shaft 34 are respectively used to realize the rotatable connection of the connecting member 130 with the solar panel assembly 120 and the camera body 110, so that the structure is simple and the operation is convenient.

[0094] In some embodiments of the present application, the fixing block 213 is rotatably connected to the first rotating shaft 32, and the first rotating shaft 32 is fixedly connected to the first end 31 of the connecting member 130.

[0095] In some embodiments of the present application, the fixing block 213 is fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft 32, and the first rotating shaft 32 is rotatably connected to the first end 31 of the connecting member 130.

In this way, the stability of the connection can be ensured, and the rotating shaft support 411 can rotate smoothly in the horizontal direction, thereby driving the solar panel assembly 120 to adjust its position according to the position of the sun.

[0101] Referring to Figure 6 and Figure 12 In some embodiments of the present application, the camera body 110 comprises a first mounting slot 11. The waterproof member 42 comprises a waterproof support 421 and a waterproof ring 422. The waterproof support 421 is located in the first mounting slot 11, fixedly connected with the camera body 110 and connected with the rotating shaft support 411.

The waterproof ring 422 is located between the side wall 4111 and the waterproof support 421. The second rotating shaft 34 is rotationally connected with the side wall 4111. The first rotating shaft connector 412 is fixedly connected with the bottom wall 4112. The rotating assembly 140 further comprises a protective cover 45. The protective cover 45 is located on the side of the bottom wall 4112 away from the first rotating shaft connector 412 and is used for protecting the rotating shaft member 41.

[0105] In some embodiments of the present application, when the solar panel assembly 120 is parallel to the connector 130, the second protruding part 214 is received in the second avoiding slot 36. When the solar panel assembly 120 is inclined or perpendicular to the connector 130, the second protruding part 214 is located outside the second avoiding slot 36.

[0106] In some embodiments of the present application, the rotating assembly 140 is located on the main body part 12. When the connector 130 is in the first state, the connector 130 is received in the movable space, so that the overall volume of the camera 100 can be reduced.

[0107] In some embodiments of the present application, when the connector 130 is in the first state, the solar panel assembly 120 is located above the main body part 12. The orthographic projection of the solar panel assembly 120 on the camera main body 110 has an overlap with the third protruding part 13, and the overlap is greater than or equal to 0. The overlap of the orthographic projection of the solar panel assembly 120 on the camera main body 110 with the third protruding part 13 mainly depends on whether the solar panel assembly 120 interferes with the third protruding part 13 when the solar panel assembly 120 rotates relative to the connector 130 and the connector 130 rotates relative to the rotating assembly 140.

[0108] In some embodiments of the present application, the surface of the third protruding part 13, which is connected with the main body part 12 and faces the connector 130, is an inclined surface 14. The angle between the inclined surface 14 and the main body part 12 is an obtuse angle. In this way, the solar panel assembly 120 does not interfere with the third protruding part 13.

[0109] In some embodiments of the present application, the third protrusion 13 and the main body 12 have an intersection line 15, and the connecting member 130 further has a fifth state and a sixth state. When the connecting member 130 is in the fifth state, the extending direction of the second rotating shaft 34 is parallel to the intersection line 15, and the connecting member 130 does not rotate relative to the rotating assembly 140. When the connecting member 130 is in the sixth state, the angle between the extending direction of the second rotating shaft 34 and the extending direction of the intersection line 15 is greater than 0, and the connecting member 130 rotates relative to the rotating assembly 140 by a certain angle.
