Detailed Implementation
[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0032] Reference Figures 1 to 3 This utility model provides an embodiment of an adjustable-angle IoT camera bracket, which includes a fixed plate 1. A motor 2 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed plate 1. The design of the motor 2 allows the camera adjustment to rely on the motor's drive, enabling efficient angle adjustment and providing a stable viewing angle. A gear 3 is fixedly connected to the drive end of the motor 2. An adjustment plate 4 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixed plate 1. The operation of the gear 3 and the combination of the adjustment plate 4 allow the camera to be precisely adjusted at different heights to meet the needs of different usage scenarios. Multiple teeth 5 are fixedly connected to one side of the adjustment plate 4, and limiting blocks 6 are fixedly connected to both sides of the adjustment plate 4. The function of the limiting blocks 6 is to ensure that the adjustment plate 4 remains stable during movement, preventing the camera position from shifting due to external interference, thus enhancing the stability and safety of the entire structure.
[0033] Gear 3 and teeth 5 are meshed, allowing the rotation of motor 2 to further drive the adjustment plate 4 to move, thereby enabling multi-angle presets under different conditions and improving the user's flexibility. The other end of the adjustment plate 4 is fixedly connected to a moving block 7, and the other end of the moving block 7 is equipped with a mounting bracket 8. The structural design of the moving block 7 can support a larger load, allowing the camera to be hung stably and achieving the ideal monitoring effect. The top of the mounting bracket 8 is rotatably connected to a rotating disk 9, and the top of the rotating disk 9 is equipped with a support frame 10. Through the design of the rotating disk 9, the camera can be quickly adjusted at multiple angles to ensure that the coverage range is maximized during the monitoring process. The top of the support frame 10 is equipped with a camera housing 11. This design can provide good protection for the camera and facilitate flexible use in different environments to meet various monitoring needs.
[0034] An adjustment component is installed on the top of the mounting bracket 8. The presence of the adjustment component allows users to make simple adjustments without disassembling the equipment, improving ease of use. A positioning component is installed on the outside of the rotating disk 9. After the camera is adjusted to a suitable angle, the positioning component can ensure the fixed position of the support frame 10, preventing the camera position from changing due to external interference. The adjustment component includes a second motor 12, which is externally fixedly connected to the outside of the mounting bracket 8. The setting of the second motor 12 allows the camera to return to the set state more quickly after adjustment, ensuring the effectiveness of monitoring. The drive end of the second motor 12 is fixedly connected to a rotating plate 13. The presence of the rotating plate 13 allows for precise control of the camera during operation, thereby improving the stability and accuracy of the monitoring effect.
[0035] A cylinder 14 is fixedly connected to the other end of the rotating plate 13. The connection design of the cylinder 14 can be used to adjust the swing of the control frame 15, making the whole structure more flexible during adjustment and actively matching the user's needs. The control frame 15 is fixedly connected to one side of the rotating disk 9. The control frame 15 plays a supporting and fixing role, ensuring that the various components maintain good cooperation during operation and are not easy to loosen. The external part of the cylinder 14 is movably connected to the inner wall of the control frame 15. This design can achieve easy angle adjustment and ensure that the camera will not be accidentally displaced due to external pressure during use. A slide groove 21 is opened on one side of the fixed plate 1. The design of the slide groove 21 allows the moving block 7 to slide smoothly. This structure optimizes the operability of the overall system and improves the user experience. One side of the moving block 7 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the slide groove 21, ensuring that the moving block 7 will not be offset due to gravity during adjustment, improving the accuracy and smoothness of adjustment.
[0036] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4The mounting assembly includes two extension plates 16, which are fixedly connected to both sides of the rotating disk 9, further enhancing the overall stability of the bracket structure and ensuring that the bracket will not deform under gravity during normal use. A rotating rod 17 is threaded onto the inner wall of the extension plate 16. The function of the rotating rod 17 is to ensure accurate positioning of the camera in different environments through adjustment, providing good adaptability. A suction cup 18 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating rod 17. The design of the suction cup 18 effectively ensures strong adhesion of the camera during installation, thereby reducing the impact of vibration and maintaining shooting stability. The bottom of the camera is equipped with a rubber pad to increase friction with the support frame 10, improve the adsorption effect, and ensure that the camera remains stable after installation, thus ensuring a realistic and reliable visual effect. The top of the rotating rod 17 is fixedly connected to a handle 19, which is used by the user to lock the camera housing 11 when needed, ensuring that it does not loosen accidentally during use. The rotating rod 17 is externally threaded with a bolt 20. The design of the bolt 20 enhances the connection between the handle 19 and the overall structure, making the camera more stable during adjustment and preventing its position from being affected by the adjustment force.
[0037] The bottom thread of bolt 20 is connected to the top of extension plate 16. This solid connection improves the reliability of the whole machine and ensures that users can use it without worry even during frequent operation. The bottom of suction cup 18 contacts the top of support frame 10, ensuring good friction between suction cup 18 and support frame 10 in actual use, thus ensuring the stability of the camera. The top of mounting bracket 8 is fixedly connected to protective shell 22. The configuration of protective shell 22 can effectively protect internal components from environmental influences, thereby extending the service life of the bracket and ensuring long-term stable operation of the equipment.
[0038] Working principle: When the equipment needs to be used, the support frame 10 is slid into the rotating disk 9 from one side, so that the rotating disk 9 is in contact with the support frame 10. Then, by turning the handle 19, the rotating rod 17 can be rotated. The rotation of the rotating rod 17 can move to the through hole of the extension plate 16, so that the rotating rod 17 drives the suction cup 18 to move. The movement of the suction cup 18 can make the suction cup 18 press against the top of the support frame 10. Finally, the bolt 20 is tightened to lock it and prevent loosening.
[0039] When in use, the rotating plate 13 is driven to rotate by starting motor 12. The rotation of rotating plate 13 drives cylinder 14 to rotate. The rotation of cylinder 14 controls the swing of control frame 15. The swing of control frame 15 drives rotating disk 9 to rotate. The rotation of rotating disk 9 drives support frame 10 to rotate. The rotation of support frame 10 controls the swing of camera housing 11. The starting of motor 2 drives gear 3 to rotate. The rotation of gear 3 engages teeth 5, causing adjustment plate 4 to move. The movement of adjustment plate 4 causes limiting block 6 to slide on the inner wall of fixed plate 1. The movement of adjustment plate 4 causes moving block 7 to move mounting bracket 8. This allows the camera housing 11 to move in height, making it convenient to use the camera housing 11 from different heights, improving the field of view and avoiding obstruction by objects on the same horizontal line.
[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
