Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dome camera technology, specifically a network dome camera. Background Technology
[0002] A network camera is a new generation of camera that combines traditional cameras with network technology. It consists of a network encoding module and an analog camera. It can transmit video over the network to the other side of the world, and remote viewers do not need any professional software. They can monitor the images with just a standard web browser. The network encoding module encodes and compresses the analog video signal captured by the analog camera into a digital signal, which can then be directly connected to network switching and routing equipment. A dome camera is a common surveillance camera device with a spherical design.
[0003] To meet operational needs, dome cameras are typically installed at high locations. Common installation methods include ceiling mounting and wall mounting, secured to a mounting bracket with multiple screws. However, disassembling the monitoring device requires personnel to carry external tools to remove the fixing bolts, leading to inconvenience. Alternatively, pins may be used for fixing, but this method lacks security and can easily result in the loss of the monitoring device. Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a network dome camera to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a network dome camera to solve the problems of inconvenient disassembly of existing monitoring devices, which require external tools to remove the fixing bolts, or the use of pins for fixing, which can easily lead to the loss of the monitoring device.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a network dome camera, comprising a camera body and a mounting base. Fixing bolts are installed on both sides of the upper end of the mounting base. A slot is provided at the bottom of the mounting base, and a movable groove is provided on one side of the inner wall of the slot. A connecting rod is slidably inserted into the movable groove. A blocking block is installed at one end of the connecting rod, and a locking block is installed at the end of the connecting rod facing the slot. A compression spring is sleeved around the periphery of the connecting rod. A support rod is installed on the upper part of the camera body, and a conical frustum is installed at the bottom of the support rod. A limiting part is provided at the bottom of the conical frustum, and a conical retaining ring is provided below the limiting part. The conical retaining ring is elastically engaged with the support rod.
[0006] Preferably, the outer wall of the limiting part is in close contact with the inner wall of the slot, thereby increasing the stability of the camera body after it is inserted into the mounting base.
[0007] Preferably, a first limiting strip is vertically installed on the inner wall of the slot, and a first sliding groove is provided on the outer wall of the conical frustum. The first sliding groove is slidably inserted into the first limiting strip to limit the part of the conical frustum that contacts the card block.
[0008] Preferably, a second sliding groove is provided on the outer wall of the support rod, and a second limiting strip is vertically installed on the inner wall of the conical retaining ring. The second limiting strip is slidably inserted into the second sliding groove to position the angle of the conical retaining ring, thereby preventing the conical retaining ring from rotating around the support rod and causing the retaining block to fail to squeeze and contact the conical retaining ring.
[0009] Preferably, the inclined surface of the conical frustum faces upward, and the support rod is inserted into the slot in the mounting base, so that after passing the locking block, the bottom of the conical frustum is locked by the locking block. This mechanism allows the camera body to be positioned and inserted into the lower side of the mounting base. The inclined surface of the conical retaining ring faces downward. After passing the locking block, the locking block is temporarily squeezed to fit against the limiting part on the lower side of the conical frustum. Then, the camera body is pulled downward, and under the action of the conical retaining ring, the locking block is squeezed and retracted into the movable groove. At this time, the camera body can be pulled downward, so that the bottom of the conical frustum on the support rod is disengaged from the locking block, thereby achieving the function of assembling and disassembling the camera body.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a network dome camera, which has the following advantages:
[0011] By designing the system, the support rod is inserted into the slot within the mounting base. After passing the locking block, the bottom of the conical truncated cone is held in place, connecting the camera body to the mounting base. During disassembly, the conical retaining ring slides against the support rod, and then the camera body is supported as the support rod moves upward. After passing the locking block, the conical retaining ring is temporarily pressed against the lower limit of the conical truncated cone. Then, the camera body is pulled downwards. Under the action of the conical retaining ring, the locking block is compressed and retracted into the movable groove. At this point, the camera body can be pulled downwards, causing the bottom of the conical truncated cone on the support rod to disengage from the locking block, thus achieving the purpose of assembling and disassembling the camera body. This structure allows for quick installation of the camera body after the mounting base is fixed. Furthermore, the use of the conical retaining ring during disassembly increases the difficulty of disassembly, preventing the camera body from being easily disassembled and lost.

Detailed Implementation
[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 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.
[0019] This utility model provides a technical solution, a network dome camera; please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 The system includes a camera body 1 and a mounting base 2. Fixing bolts 201 are installed on both sides of the upper end of the mounting base 2. A slot 202 is provided at the bottom of the mounting base 2. A movable groove 203 is provided on one side of the inner wall of the slot 202. A connecting rod 6 is slidably inserted into the movable groove 203. A blocking block 601 is installed at one end of the connecting rod 6, and a retaining block 602 is installed at the end of the connecting rod 6 facing the slot 202. A compression spring 7 is sleeved around the periphery of the connecting rod 6. (See also...) Figure 4 , Figure 5 A support rod 3 is installed on the upper part of the camera body 1, and a conical frustum 4 is installed on the bottom of the support rod 3. A limiting part 402 is provided at the bottom of the conical frustum 4, and a conical retaining ring 5 is provided below the limiting part 402. The conical retaining ring 5 is elastically engaged with the support rod 3.
[0020] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5The inner wall of the slot 202 is vertically fitted with a first limiting strip 2021. The outer wall of the conical frustum 4 is provided with a first sliding groove 401. The first sliding groove 401 is slidably inserted into the first limiting strip 2021 to limit the contact between the conical frustum 4 and the locking block 602. The outer wall of the support rod 3 is provided with a second sliding groove 301. The inner wall of the conical retaining ring 5 is vertically fitted with a second limiting strip 501. The second limiting strip 501 is slidably inserted into the second sliding groove 301 to position the angle of the conical retaining ring 5 and prevent the locking block 602 from being unable to squeeze and contact the conical retaining ring 5 due to the conical retaining ring 5 rotating around the support rod.
[0021] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 The inclined surface of the conical frustum 4 faces upward, and the support rod 3 is inserted into the slot 202 in the mounting base 2. After passing the locking block 602, the bottom of the conical frustum 4 is locked by the locking block 602. This mechanism allows the camera body 1 to be positioned and inserted into the lower side of the mounting base 2. The outer wall of the limiting part 402 is in close contact with the inner wall of the slot 202, thereby increasing the stability of the camera body 1 after being inserted into the mounting base 2. The inclined surface of the conical retaining ring 5 faces downward. After passing the locking block 602, the locking block 602 is temporarily squeezed to fit against the limiting part 402 on the lower side of the conical frustum 4. Then, the camera body 1 is pulled down. Under the action of the conical retaining ring 5, the locking block 602 is squeezed and retracted into the movable groove 203. At this time, the camera body 1 can be pulled down to disengage the bottom of the conical frustum 4 on the support rod 3 from the locking block 602, thereby achieving the function of disassembling and assembling the camera body 1.
[0022] The network dome camera in this utility model consists of a camera body 1 and a mounting base 2. The mounting base 2 can be pre-fixed to the position where the camera body 1 needs to be installed by fixing bolts 201. A slot 202 is provided on the bottom side of the mounting base 2, and a movable groove 203 is provided on one side of the inner wall of the slot 202. A connecting rod 6 is movably inserted into the movable groove 203. A locking block 602 is installed at one end of the connecting rod 6, and a blocking block 601 is installed at the other end. A compression spring 7 is also sleeved on the connecting rod 6. One end of the compression spring 7 presses against the inner wall of the movable groove 203, and the other end presses against one side of the locking block 602, so that the locking block 602 protrudes from the inner wall of the slot 202.
[0023] A support rod 3 is installed on the upper part of the camera body 1, and a conical frustum 4 is installed on the top of the support rod 3. A conical ring is snapped into one side of the support rod 3. The conical ring is semi-circular and can be elastically snapped into the support rod 3.
[0024] A first limiting strip 2021 is installed on the inner wall of the slot 202. The first sliding groove 401 on the conical frustum 4 is aligned with the first limiting strip 2021. Then, the support rod 3 is inserted into the slot 202 in the mounting base 2, so that the conical frustum 4 is locked at the bottom by the locking block 602 after passing through it. This mechanism allows the camera body 1 to be positioned and inserted into the lower side of the mounting base 2. When it is necessary to disassemble the camera body 1, the second limiting strip 501 in the conical retaining ring 5 is aligned with the second sliding groove 301 on the support rod 3 and then inserted, so that the conical retaining ring... 5. The support rod 3 is slidably engaged with the camera body 1. Then, the support rod 3 is moved upward by supporting the camera body 1. After the conical retaining ring 5 passes the retaining block 602, the retaining block 602 is temporarily squeezed to engage with the limiting part 402 on the lower side of the conical frustum 4. Then, the camera body 1 is pulled downward. Under the action of the conical retaining ring 5, the retaining block 602 is squeezed and retracted into the movable groove 203. At this time, the camera body 1 can be pulled downward so that the bottom of the conical frustum 4 on the support rod 3 is disengaged from the retaining block 602, thereby achieving the function of disassembling and assembling the camera body 1.
[0025] After the mounting base 2 is fixed, the camera body 1 can be quickly installed. When disassembling the camera body 1, a conical retaining ring 5 is required, which can prevent the camera body 1 from being easily disassembled and lost to a certain extent.
