[0028] The following is a preferred embodiment of a camera mounting structure provided by this utility model that can solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0029] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 ,in Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a preferred embodiment of the camera mounting structure of this utility model. Figure 2 This is an exploded view of the camera mounting structure of this utility model.

[0030] In the diagram, units with similar structures are represented by the same labels.

[0031] This embodiment provides a camera mounting structure, which includes: a bracket, an adapter box 12, a camera module, a connecting cable, and a hanging rope 151, wherein the connecting cable may include a power cable, a data cable, etc.

[0032] The bracket includes a fixing plate 111 and a frame 112 connected to one side of the fixing plate 111. The fixing plate 111 can be fixed to a wall or other mounting object using screws. An adapter box 12 is connected to the bottom of the frame 112. The bottom of the adapter box 12 has an opening for mounting the camera module. A connecting cable is located inside the bracket, and one end of the connecting cable has a first connector. The end of the connecting cable with the first connector extends into the adapter box 12. The camera module has a second connector for connecting to the first connector.

[0033] The inner wall of the adapter box 12 is provided with a hook 152. One end of the hanging rope 151 is connected to the camera module, and the other end of the hanging rope 151 is provided with a hanging ring for hanging on the hook 152. The camera module is rotatably and adjustablely connected to the adapter box 12. During installation, the hanging rope 151 can be hung on the hook 152, and then the connection cable can be easily plugged in and other operations can be performed. At the same time, when removing the camera module, it can also prevent the camera module from accidentally falling to the ground.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 2 In this embodiment, a card plate 16 extending radially along the adapter box 12 is provided on the periphery of the camera module. An annular groove 121 is provided on the inner wall of the adapter box 12 along the inner circumference. An inlet groove 122 is connected to one side of the annular groove 121. The end of the inlet groove 122 away from the annular groove 121 extends through the end face of the adapter box 12 near the opening.

[0035] The camera module is rotatably fitted inside the adapter box 12, with its peripheral surface in surface contact with the inner circumferential surface of the adapter box 12. The retaining plate 16 enters the annular groove 121 through the inlet slot 122, and the rotation of the camera module causes the retaining plate 16 to engage within the annular groove 121. The camera module is very easy to install and remove; it can be rotated to the desired shooting angle and then stopped.

[0036] Specifically, the card plate 16 is connected to the camera module through the first extension plate 17. The first extension plate 17 extends along the axial direction of the adapter box 12. When the camera module is installed in the adapter box 12, the first extension plate 17 and the inner circumferential surface of the adapter box 12 are in surface contact.

[0037] In addition, a second extension plate 18 is provided on the periphery of the camera module. The second extension plate 18 is positioned opposite to the first extension plate 17 and extends along the axial direction of the adapter box 12. When the camera module is installed into the adapter box 12, the second extension plate 18 makes surface contact with the inner circumferential surface of the adapter box 12. The first extension plate 17 and the second extension plate 18 can increase the contact area between the camera module and the inner wall of the adapter box 12, thereby improving the stability of the camera module assembly.

[0038] Please refer to the reference. Figure 2 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, the camera mounting structure also includes an elastic ring 19, which is disposed within the annular groove 121. When the retaining plate 16 is engaged within the annular groove 121, the elastic ring 19 elastically compresses the retaining plate 16, ensuring that the retaining plate 16 remains in contact with the inner wall of the annular groove 121. The elastic ring 19 ensures that the camera module, after rotation, can stably stop at a set position for stable shooting from a set orientation.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 3In this embodiment, the elastic ring 19 includes a ring plate 191, a bending portion 192, and a pressing protrusion 193. The ring plate 191 has an annular structure, the bending portion 192 is located on the outer periphery of the ring plate 191, and the pressing protrusion 193 is connected to the ring plate 191 through the bending portion 192. The pressing protrusion 193 is used to press the clamping plate 16.

[0040] The elastic ring 19 is provided with a through groove 194 in both the radial and axial directions. The through groove 194 is used for the elastic ring 19 to be retracted and installed into the annular groove 121.

[0041] In this embodiment, the camera module includes a circuit board 141, a mounting bracket 142, and a camera body 143. The camera body 143 is rotatably mounted at the bottom of the mounting bracket 142, and the rotation axis 144 of the camera body 143 extends radially along the adapter box 12. The circuit board 141 is mounted at the top of the mounting bracket 142. This allows the camera body 143 to be easily adjusted in its shooting position by rotating between the camera module and the adapter box 12, and by rotating around the rotation axis 144. Furthermore, the rotation adjustment structure is located within the adapter box 12, providing excellent protection and preventing corrosion, damage, or accumulation of dirt and grime.

[0042] The camera body 143 is positioned so that its shooting direction faces the side where the card plate 16 is located, and the inlet slot 122 is located inside the adapter box 12 near the fixing plate 111. Thus, when the card plate 16 enters the annular groove 121 from the inlet slot 122, the camera body 143's shooting direction is towards the fixing plate 111. Therefore, the card plate 16 typically needs to rotate a certain distance around the annular groove 121 before the camera body 143 reaches the user's shooting area. This also means that when adjusting the shooting position by rotating the camera module, the card plate 16 will not be rotated to the position of the inlet slot 122.

[0043] The camera mounting structure in this embodiment also includes a transparent cover 13, which is a hemispherical structure and is connected to the opening of the adapter box 12.

[0044] During installation, the camera mounting structure of this utility model involves first installing the bracket and then laying out the connecting cables. Next, the hanging loop of the hanging rope 151 is attached to the hook 152, and then the camera module and connecting cables are plugged in.

[0045] After connecting the cables, assemble the camera module into the adapter box 12. This requires inserting the retaining plate 16 into the annular groove 121 through the inlet slot 122, and then rotating the camera module to achieve the set shooting angle. The elastic ring 19 presses against the retaining plate 16, keeping the camera module in the set position. Then, the camera body 143 can be rotated around the rotation axis 144 to adjust its orientation. Finally, install the housing 13.

[0046] This completes the installation process of the camera mounting structure in this preferred embodiment.

[0047] The camera mounting structure of this preferred embodiment facilitates easy connection and disconnection of the camera module when installing it into the adapter box via a hanging rope. Furthermore, the camera module and adapter box are rotatably and adjustable, allowing for adjustment of the shooting position immediately after installation. The adjustment structure is concealed within the adapter box, providing excellent protection and preventing corrosion, damage, or accumulation of dirt and grime.

[0048] In summary, although the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, the above preferred embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications and refinements without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention shall be determined by the scope defined in the claims.
