[0037] The camera assembly 4 includes a base 42 and a camera unit. A first mounting hole is provided on the lamp housing 1. The base 42 is fixed inside the electrical cavity of the lamp housing 1 through the first mounting hole. The camera unit is mounted on the base 42 and protrudes to the outside of the lamp housing 1 through the first mounting hole. In this embodiment, the camera unit is a camera 41. A cable outlet is provided on the base 42, through which the cable of the camera assembly 4 is connected to the inside of the lamp housing 1. In other words, by installing the base 42 inside the electrical cavity, it facilitates wiring between the camera 41 and devices such as the controller and battery, and the overall appearance of the lamp is also more aesthetically pleasing.

[0038] Specifically, the camera assembly 4 also includes a mounting component, which is located inside the lamp housing 1 and fixedly connected to the lamp housing 1. The base 42 is fixedly connected to the mounting component. In this embodiment, the mounting component is a mounting bracket 43, which is connected to the end of the base 42 away from the camera 41. In this solution, the mounting bracket 43 and the base 42 are set separately, but the mounting bracket 43 can also be integrated with the base 42.

[0039] The lamp housing 1 specifically includes a housing body 11 and an adapter. The adapter is installed on the housing body 11 by a fourth screw 9. The mounting bracket 43 is connected to the adapter, and a first mounting hole is provided on the adapter. The housing body 11 is provided with a second mounting hole. The adapter is located in the second mounting hole and extends into the housing body 11 through the second mounting hole. In this embodiment, the adapter is an annular adapter ring 12.

[0040] The mounting bracket 43 has a locking part, and the base 42 has a locking engagement part. The locking parts engage with each other to connect the base 42 and the mounting bracket 43. At least one first fastener is provided between the base 42 and the mounting bracket 43, and the base 42 and the mounting bracket 43 are connected to each other via the first fastener. In this embodiment, the first fastener is a first screw. The mounting bracket 43 has a first through hole 436, and the base 42 has a first screw hole. The first screw passes through the first through hole 436 and is threaded into the first screw hole. In this embodiment, there are two first through holes 436, two first screw holes, and two first screws.

[0041] Specifically, the mounting bracket 43 includes a base plate 431, with connecting plates 432 extending downward on both sides of the base plate 431, and a downward protrusion on the base plate 431, with the engaging part located on the protrusion.

[0042] The engaging part is specifically a buckle 435, and a buckle 435 is provided at each end of the mounting bracket 43 base plate 431; the engaging mating part is specifically a slot, and a slot is provided on each side of the base 42. After the base plate 431 and the base 42 are attached, the base plate 431 is moved so that the two buckles 435 engage with the two slots respectively.

[0043] The mounting bracket 43 has a connecting plate 432 with a connecting part, and the adapter ring 12 has a connecting mating part. A second fastener is provided between the connecting part and the connecting mating part to connect the mounting bracket 43 and the adapter ring 12. Specifically, the second fastener is a second screw 7, the connecting part is a U-shaped through hole 433, and the connecting mating part is a second screw hole 121. In this embodiment...

[0044] Both ends of the connecting plates 432 facing away from the base plate 431 are provided with two U-shaped through holes 433 for the second screws 7 to pass through. The adapter ring 12 is provided with corresponding second screw holes 121. A total of four second screws 7 are passed through the corresponding U-shaped through holes 433 and threaded into the second screw holes 121 to connect the mounting bracket 43 and the adapter ring 12. Furthermore, the second screws 7 can be installed after the slot and buckle 435 are engaged, making the installation of the second screws 7 more convenient. The structure is simple and easy to install. While being fixed by the second screws 7, the connection between the mounting bracket 43 and the base 42 is further strengthened by the cooperation of the buckle 435 and the slot.

[0045] In this embodiment, the second screw hole 121 is provided on the adapter ring 12. Of course, in other embodiments, the second screw hole 121 can also be provided on the screw post of the shell body 11.

[0046] Furthermore, the adapter ring 12 is provided with multiple second screw holes 121 around the base 42, allowing users to select different second screw holes 121 to fix the bracket 43 according to actual needs, thus realizing the adjustment and fixation of the camera component 4 at multiple angles.

A limiting part is provided around the periphery of the end of the protective cover 44 near the base 42. The limiting part extends away from the camera 41 and cooperates with the inner wall of the adapter ring 12 around the first mounting hole to restrict the protective cover 44 on the adapter ring 12. In this embodiment, the limiting part is a flange 441.

[0048] At least one clamping member is detachably mounted on the adapter ring 12 inside the lamp housing 1 via a third screw 8. One end of the clamping member abuts against the flange 441 to press and fix it to the inner wall of the adapter ring 12. In this embodiment, the clamping member is a pressure plate 5, and four pressure plates 5 are provided.

[0049] In this design, the protective cover 44 is an optical dome, but any other transparent cover that does not affect the shooting of the camera 41 and can provide protection is acceptable.

[0050] Furthermore, an elastic sealing element, specifically a sealing ring 6, is provided between the flange 441 and the inner wall of the lamp housing 1. The sealing ring 6 is pressed tightly by the pressure plate 5. The sealing ring 6 ensures a seal between the protective cover 44 and the lamp housing 1, preventing water and dust from entering the electrical cavity and reducing the protection requirements of the camera 41. Moreover, the use of the pressure plate 5 for fixing instead of screws or other fixing methods also ensures the integrity of the sealing ring 6 and improves the sealing effect.

[0051] Furthermore, the mounting bracket 43 is provided with a clearance portion through which the cable enters the lamp housing 1. In this embodiment, the clearance portion is a through groove 434, which facilitates the wiring of the base 42.

[0052] This invention cleverly exposes the camera unit outside the lamp housing 1, while the base 42 is installed inside the lamp housing 1. This design not only ensures that the camera unit can shoot without obstruction, but also greatly facilitates the wiring of the base 42. In addition, this layout effectively enhances the waterproof and dustproof performance of the lamp, enabling it to operate stably in harsh environments, while also giving the lamp a more concise and beautiful appearance, enhancing the overall design aesthetics.

[0053] The protective cover 44 added to the camera 41 of this utility model significantly improves the waterproof and dustproof effect. This improvement not only enhances the durability of the camera 41, but also reduces the requirements for the waterproof and dustproof rating of the camera 41 itself, thereby reducing manufacturing costs while ensuring performance.

[0054] This utility model incorporates a sealing ring 6 sandwiched between the limiting part of the protective cover 44 and the inner wall of the adapter ring 12. This innovative design further enhances the waterproof and dustproof performance of the lamp, ensuring the long-term safe use of the internal electronic components of the lamp. Its protective effect is particularly significant in humid or dusty environments.

[0055] This utility model adopts a design in which the pressure plate 5 presses and fixes the limiting part, and together with the inner wall of the adapter ring 12, clamps the sealing ring 6. This not only achieves a stable fixation of the sealing ring 6 and the flange 441, but more importantly, this fixing method avoids physical damage to the sealing ring 6 and ensures the durability and integrity of its sealing performance.

[0056] The adapter ring 12 features multiple second screw holes 121 surrounding the base 42, allowing users to select different connection points for installation according to their actual needs, thus enabling the camera 41 to be adjusted and fixed at multiple angles. This design greatly improves the flexibility and adaptability of the lighting installation, meeting the lighting and monitoring needs in different scenarios.
