[0029] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown in this embodiment, an adjustable camera structure for a dashcam includes:

[0030] Camera bracket 2, wherein the two sides of the camera bracket 2 are provided with a first arc slide rail structure 22;

[0031] The outer shell 7 has limiting posts 5 on both sides, and the limiting posts 5 are engaged in the first arc slide rail structure 22;

[0032] The camera module 1 is fixed inside the camera bracket 2 by a number of screws 6 and hooks 23, and the camera decorative piece 4 is further fixed together with the camera bracket 2.

[0033] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the inner side of the outer shell 7 is provided with a second arc slide rail structure 71, and a silicone pad 3 is attached inside the second arc slide rail structure 71.

[0034] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a fixing opening is provided on one side of the silicone pad 3, and the fixing opening is connected to the bottom end of the limiting post 5. This arrangement helps to improve the firmness of the connection between the outer shell 7 and the camera bracket 2.

[0035] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the outer casing 7 has a mounting groove in the middle, and the limiting posts 5 are disposed on both sides of the mounting groove. This arrangement facilitates the passage of the camera module 1 through the groove, preventing collisions with the lens.

[0036] Preferably, in this embodiment, the top of the limiting post 5 is provided with a limiting buckle 51, and the limiting buckles 51 on the left and right sides are coaxially arranged. The camera module 1 is fixed and its angle can be adjusted around a single axis by a camera bracket 2 with arc structures on both sides, a shell 7 with coaxial double limiting posts 5, and an attached silicone pad 3.

[0037] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the limiting buckle 51 is configured as a cylindrical structure and is engaged within the first arc-shaped slide rail structure 22. This configuration facilitates the sliding connection between the camera bracket 2 and the limiting posts 5 on both sides of the housing 7. Adjustment of the limiting buckles 51 on the limiting posts 5 allows for the adjustment of the camera module 1, greatly simplifying the internal structural components of the camera adjustment structure and enabling related adjustment functions. This further reduces product manufacturing costs and significantly improves product production efficiency and market competitiveness.

[0038] Preferably, in this embodiment, a third arc-shaped slide rail structure 24 is provided on the outer side of the camera bracket 2, and the silicone pad 3 is disposed between the third arc-shaped slide rail structure 24 and the second arc-shaped slide rail structure 71. Through this arrangement, the third arc-shaped slide rail structure 24 and the second arc-shaped slide rail structure 71 provide compression support, which helps to improve the firmness of the connection between the outer shell 7 and the camera bracket 2.

[0039] Furthermore, in this embodiment, one end of the camera module 1 is also connected to a camera decorative piece 4.

[0040] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a through hole 21 is provided in the middle of the camera bracket 2, and the lens portion of the camera module 1 passes through the through hole 21.

[0041] Preferably, in this embodiment, the diameter of the camera decorative element 4 is larger than the diameter of the through hole 21. This arrangement facilitates a better connection between the lens and the camera decorative element 4, avoiding the problem that the through hole is too small, preventing the lens from passing through and thus hindering connection.

[0042] Compared with the prior art, this application has the following technical effects:

[0043] In this application, the camera module is fixed inside the camera bracket by a number of screws and hooks, and the camera bracket is slidably connected to the limiting posts on both sides of the outer shell. The camera module can be adjusted by adjusting the limiting buckles on the limiting posts. This greatly simplifies the internal structural components of the camera adjustment structure and enables related adjustment functions, thereby further reducing product production costs and greatly improving product production efficiency and sales competitiveness.

[0044] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application and are not intended to limit it. The preferred embodiments have been described in detail. Those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this application without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this application, and all such modifications and substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this application.
