Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of vehicle-mounted monitoring devices, and particularly relates to a solar vehicle-mounted monitoring device. BACKGROUND

[0002] In order to realize monitoring and recording of the driving road conditions, most vehicles are equipped with a driving recorder such as the driving recorder disclosed in Chinese patent document CN103854334A. However, most driving recorders usually obtain power by being electrically connected to the cigarette lighter power supply of the vehicle. This not only requires additional wiring and even disassembly of the original vehicle to increase the wiring process and installation cost, but also easily causes the cigarette lighter power supply to run out of power when continuously supplying power to the driving recorder. At the same time, when the vehicle is in an off state, the driving recorder will also be turned off due to power loss. Therefore, when the vehicle is in a parked and unattended state, the monitoring of the driving recorder will be invalid, making it difficult for the vehicle owner to monitor the state of the parked vehicle, and thus easily causing the vehicle interior to be stolen or the vehicle body to be damaged by others.

[0003] In order to solve the above problems, Chinese patent document CN107310524A discloses a vehicle-mounted communication device electrically connected to a solar charging panel through a power supply device, and the solar charging panel is adsorbed to the front windshield, so that the solar charging panel can provide long-term stable power supply for the storage battery in the vehicle-mounted communication device.

[0004] Further, Chinese patent document CN206400653U also discloses a vehicle-mounted solar driving recorder, and the solar panel is installed on the inside windshield through a suction cup. It mainly utilizes the solar panel to convert sunlight into electrical energy to power the driving recorder, so that the driving recorder can continuously monitor the safety conditions around the vehicle after parking.

[0005] Further, Chinese patent document CN115742964A additionally discloses a vehicle-mounted monitoring device, which is installed on the vehicle window through a strong rubber paste on the front end face of the quick-mounting vehicle-mounted body, and is electrically connected to the internal elements of the monitoring mechanism to provide stable power supply for the monitoring mechanism.

[0006] It should be noted that after performing the due diligence and creating the novelty search of the present scheme, the following technical documents are provided for reference:

[0007] 1. CN205656687U - Solar driving recorder;

[0008] 2. CN212992415U - Vehicle-mounted driving recorder camera;

[0009] 3. CN215322312U - Mounting shell of vehicle-mounted driving recorder.

[0010] In summary, the above-mentioned prior art documents disclose technical solutions that are installed on the vehicle body and occupy the space on the windshield, thereby affecting the driver's field of view, especially in some solutions, the solar panels need to be adsorbed on the window to absorb sunlight, which can further exacerbate the blocking situation. At the same time, due to the jolt of the vehicle body during driving, the solar panels on the window are more likely to fall and hit the driver. Utility model content

[0012] The purpose of the present disclosure is achieved by the following technical solutions:

[0013] A solar vehicle monitoring instrument includes a camera assembly and a solar power supply assembly, the solar power supply assembly is electrically connected with the camera assembly, and the solar power supply assembly is used to supply power to the camera assembly;

[0014] The camera assembly includes a camera main body and a placement holder, the camera main body and the placement holder have at least one rotational degree of freedom connection, and the placement holder is provided with a first electrical connector;

[0015] The solar power supply assembly is provided with a second electrical connector, and the solar power supply assembly is used to be detachably connected with the placement holder, so that the first electrical connector and the second electrical connector are electrically connected or disconnected;

[0016] The placement holder is built-in with a driving assembly, and the driving assembly is used to be electrically connected with the camera main body and the first electrical connector respectively.

[0017] In some embodiments, the camera main body and the placement holder are connected through a rotating shaft body, so that the camera main body and the placement holder have one rotational degree of freedom connection; or,

[0018] The camera main body and the placement holder are connected through a cross rotating structure, so that the camera main body and the placement holder have two rotational degrees of freedom connection; or,

[0019] An active spherical surface is formed on the outer surface of the camera main body, an inner concave spherical surface is formed on the placement holder, and the active spherical surface and the inner concave spherical surface are matched with each other, so that the camera main body and the placement holder have a 360-degree rotational connection.

[0020] In some embodiments, the camera body is provided with a rotation limiting piece near the placement holder.

[0021] In some embodiments, the solar power supply assembly comprises a plurality of wing solar power supply modules, each of which is provided with a second electrical connector, and each side of the placement holder is provided with a first electrical connector; each wing solar power supply module is detachably connected to the placement holder, so that each first electrical connector is electrically connected or disconnected with the corresponding second electrical connector.

[0022] In some embodiments, the wing solar power supply module and the placement holder are connected through buckling.

[0023] The wing solar power supply module and the placement holder are connected through magnetic attraction.

[0024] The wing solar power supply module and the placement holder are connected through screw threads.

[0025] In some embodiments, the solar power supply assembly comprises a plurality of sub-solar power supply units; the plurality of sub-solar power supply units are sequentially arranged, and adjacent two sub-solar power supply units are connected to each other.

[0026] In some embodiments, in the solar power supply assembly, a decorative cover is provided on the connecting end surface of the sub-solar power supply unit away from the placement holder.

[0027] In some embodiments, the solar power supply assembly comprises a plurality of foldable solar power supply units.

[0029] In some embodiments, the placement holder is provided with an external power supply interface; the external power supply interface is electrically connected to the driving assembly and is used for electrical connection with an external power supply device.

[0030] Compared with the prior art, the present disclosure has at least the following advantages:

[0031] 1) Because the camera body and the pan-tilt unit are connected with at least one degree of rotational freedom, the pan-tilt unit can be placed directly in low-lying areas such as the center console of the vehicle without installation. This not only effectively reduces the space occupied on the windshield to minimize obstruction of the driver's view, but also makes the solar-powered vehicle monitoring device lower in position after placement, thus reducing the risk of it hitting the driver during vehicle bumps. Furthermore, the monitoring area can be flexibly adjusted by rotating the camera body on the pan-tilt unit.

[0032] 2) Because the pan-tilt unit has a first electrical connector and the solar power supply component has a second electrical connector, the solar power supply component is detachably connected to the pan-tilt unit. When the solar power supply component and the pan-tilt unit are connected, the first and second electrical connectors are electrically conductive. The drive component is electrically connected to both the camera body and the first electrical connector. The solar power supply component converts solar energy into electrical energy to supply the camera component, thus eliminating the need for disassembling and rewiring the original vehicle for power supply. In this way, the solar power supply component can support the camera component to adapt to different power consumption environments and meet the requirements for all-day real-time monitoring and continuous power supply, allowing the camera component to monitor the status of the parked vehicle even when the car is off or parked.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0042] In order to facilitate the understanding of the present disclosure, the present disclosure will be described more fully below with reference to the relevant drawings. The preferred embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings. However, the present disclosure can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, the purpose of providing these embodiments is to make the disclosure of the present disclosure more thorough and comprehensive.

[0043] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed" to another element, it can be directly on the other element or there can be an intervening element. When an element is referred to as being "connected" to another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there can be an intervening element. The terms "vertical", "horizontal", "left", "right", and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to be the only implementation.

[0044] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure belongs. The terminology used in the description of the disclosure herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the disclosure. As used herein, the term "and / or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0045] In order to better understand the technical solutions and beneficial effects of the present disclosure, the present disclosure will be further described in detail below in combination with specific embodiments:

[0046] Please refer to Figure 1 With Figure 2The solar vehicle monitoring instrument in the embodiment comprises a camera assembly 100 and a solar power supply assembly 200; the solar power supply assembly 200 is electrically connected with the camera assembly 100, and the solar power supply assembly 200 is used for supplying power to the camera assembly 100; the camera assembly 100 comprises a camera main body 110 and a placing holder 120, the camera main body 110 is connected with the placing holder 120 with at least one rotational degree of freedom, and a first electrical connector 1210 is arranged on the placing holder 120; the solar power supply assembly 200 is provided with a second electrical connector 2110, and the solar power supply assembly 200 is used for detachably connecting with the placing holder 120, so that the first electrical connector 1210 and the second electrical connector 2110 are electrically connected or disconnected; a driving assembly is arranged in the placing holder 120, and the driving assembly (not shown in the figure) is used for being electrically connected with the camera main body 110 and the first electrical connector 1210 respectively.

[0047] It can be understood that, since the camera main body 110 is connected with the placing holder 120 with at least one rotational degree of freedom, the placing holder 120 can be directly placed in a lower position such as a central control area in the vehicle without installation, which not only effectively reduces the occupation of the space on the windshield to reduce the visual obstruction, but also makes the solar vehicle monitoring instrument placed in a lower position, so that it is not easy to hit the driver during the body jolt. Meanwhile, the monitoring area can be flexibly adjusted by rotating the camera main body 110 on the placing holder 120.

[0048] It can be understood that, since the first electrical connector 1210 is arranged on the placing holder 120, and the second electrical connector 2110 is arranged on the solar power supply assembly 200, when the solar power supply assembly 200 is detachably connected with the placing holder 120, the first electrical connector 1210 and the second electrical connector 2110 are electrically connected, the driving assembly is electrically connected with the camera main body 110 and the first electrical connector 1210 respectively, and the solar power supply assembly 200 converts solar energy into electric energy to provide power for the camera assembly 100, so that the original vehicle disassembly and wiring power supply process is omitted. In this way, the solar power supply assembly 200 can support the camera assembly 100 to adapt to different power consumption environments and meet the requirements of all-day real-time monitoring and continuous power supply, so that the camera assembly 100 can still monitor the state of the parked vehicle when the automobile is in the off or parked state.

[0049] In some embodiments, the camera main body 110 is a common image input device such as a camera or a lens, and thus is not described here. The driving assembly can be a common power output device such as a motor, a cylinder or a hydraulic motor, and thus is not described here either.

[0050] There are at least three implementation schemes for the connection between the camera main body and the placing holder with at least one rotational degree of freedom, which are as follows:

[0051] In some embodiments, the camera body is connected with the placing gimbal through a rotating shaft body, so that the camera body and the placing gimbal have a rotational freedom degree of connection. It can be understood that, since the camera body is connected with the placing gimbal through the rotating shaft body, the camera body can rotate with the length direction of the rotating shaft body as the axis, thereby realizing a rotational freedom degree of connection. In an embodiment, the rotating shaft body is vertically arranged, so that the camera body can rotate circumferentially on the placing gimbal, while in another embodiment, the rotating shaft body is horizontally arranged, so that the camera body can be flipped up and down relative to the placing gimbal.

[0052] In other embodiments, the camera body is connected with the placing gimbal through a cross rotating structure, so that the camera body and the placing gimbal have two rotational freedom degrees of connection. It can be understood that, since the camera body is connected with the placing gimbal through the cross rotating structure, the camera assembly can be rotated in the lateral and longitudinal directions through the cross rotating structure to realize two rotational freedom degrees of connection, thereby improving the flexibility of adjusting the monitoring area of the camera body. In some embodiments, the cross rotating structure is a commonly used rotating structure such as a cross shaft universal coupling, and thus is not described here.

[0053] In other embodiments, a movable spherical surface is formed on the outer surface of the camera body, and a concave spherical surface is formed on the placing gimbal, the movable spherical surface and the concave spherical surface are matched with each other, so that the camera body and the placing gimbal have a 360-degree rotational connection. It can be understood that, after the movable spherical surface and the concave spherical surface are matched with each other, the movable spherical surface can rotate in the concave spherical surface, so that the camera body can rotate 360 degrees relative to the placing gimbal, to further improve the flexibility of adjustment.

[0054] Please refer to Figure 2 In some embodiments, the camera body 110 is provided with a rotating limiting piece 1110 near the placing gimbal 120; the rotating limiting piece 1110 is used to abut against the placing gimbal 120. It can be understood that, by abutting the rotating limiting piece 1110 provided on the camera body 110 against the placing gimbal 120, the camera body 110 can interfere with the placing gimbal 120 after being adjusted to a predetermined position to keep the position fixed, so as to reduce the deviation or shaking of the monitoring area of the camera body 110 caused by the bumping of the car, and finally improve the stability of the monitoring of the camera body 110.

[0055] Please refer to Figure 1In some embodiments, the solar power supply assembly 200 includes a plurality of side wing solar power supply modules 210, each of which has a second electrical connector 2110, and each side of the mounting gimbal 120 is provided with a first electrical connector 1210; each side wing solar power supply module 210 is used to be detachably connected with the mounting gimbal 120, so that each first electrical connector 1210 is electrically connected or disconnected with the corresponding second electrical connector 2110. It can be understood that by connecting each side wing solar power supply module 210 with the mounting gimbal 120, the first electrical connector 1210 on each side of the mounting gimbal 120 can be electrically connected with the first electrical connector 1210 of one side wing solar power supply module 210. In this way, not only can the stability of the mounting be increased by closely assembling each side wing solar power supply module 210 with the mounting gimbal 120 to form a cross support structure, but also the different power consumption environments can be adapted by electrically connecting each side wing solar power supply module 210 to drive the assembly to supply power to the camera assembly 100.

[0056] Among them, there are at least three types of implementation schemes for the detachable connection between the side wing solar power supply module and the mounting gimbal, which are as follows:

[0057] In some embodiments, the side wing solar power supply module 210 is connected with the mounting gimbal 120 through buckling. It can be understood that since the side wing solar power supply module 210 is connected with the mounting gimbal 120 through buckling, the side wing solar power supply module 210 and the mounting gimbal 120 can be closely assembled together, and after assembly, they can also be quickly disassembled.

[0058] Generally, the side wing solar power supply module and the mounting gimbal are connected through the buckling of the card slot and the card hook. When the car bumps, the card hook is easy to displace in the card slot, so that the contact between the first electrical connector and the second electrical connector is unstable, and the sudden power failure between the camera body and the side wing solar power supply module is prone to occur. This will cause the monitoring video to have a blank interval.

[0059] In order to reduce the sudden power failure between the camera body and the side wing solar power supply module, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4In some embodiments, the first electrical connector 1210 is an elastic guide structure, which includes a main connecting part 1211 and two pre-tightening sheet bodies 1212 connected to each other; the two pre-tightening sheet bodies 1212 are respectively mounted on the slot walls of the insertion slot 214 and oppositely positioned to form a clamping gap; the second electrical connector 2110 is a guide insertion sheet 2111, which is provided with a clamping hole 2101, and a part of the guide insertion sheet 2111 is inserted into the clamping gap; the two pre-tightening sheet bodies 1212 are respectively abutted against the guide insertion sheet 2111 and protrude limiting bosses 1213 into the clamping hole 2101 to clamp and fix the guide insertion sheet 2111. It can be understood that, due to the protruding limiting bosses 1213 of the two pre-tightening sheet bodies 1212 into the clamping hole 2101, the elastic force of the elastic guide structure can form an interference between the limiting bosses 1213 and the hole walls of the clamping hole 2101 to constrain the displacement of the guide insertion sheet 2111, thereby reducing the sudden power-off between the camera main body 110 and the side wing solar power supply module 210 when the vehicle bounces.

[0060] Generally, the side wing solar power supply module and the placing gimbal are connected by the clamping groove and the clamping hook, and a certain space is required between the clamping groove and the clamping hook for disassembly, which makes it difficult to form a compact connection between the side wing solar power supply module and the placing gimbal, and the side wing solar power supply module and the placing gimbal are easily slightly displaced when the vehicle bounces.

[0061] To reduce the displacement between the side wing solar power supply module 210 and the placing gimbal 120, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the placing gimbal 120 has a first splicing surface 121, and the placing gimbal 120 is provided with an assembly slot on the first splicing surface 121; the placing gimbal 120 forms a movable elastic buckle 123 in the assembly slot, and a clamping cavity 124 is formed between the side of the movable elastic buckle 123 away from the side wing solar power supply module 210 and the slot wall of the assembly slot, and the entrance of the clamping cavity 124 is located at the bottom of the placing gimbal 120; two limiting spaces 125 are further formed between the movable elastic buckle 123 and the slot wall of the assembly slot; the two limiting spaces 125 are respectively located on the two sides of the clamping cavity 124 and are respectively communicated with the clamping cavity 124; the side wing solar power supply module 210 has a second splicing surface 211, and the side wing solar power supply module 210 protrudes a hook structure on the second splicing surface 211; the hook structure includes a horizontal rod body 212 and two connecting arms 213, and the two connecting arms 213 are respectively fixedly arranged on the second splicing surface 211; the horizontal rod body 212 is arranged between the two connecting arms 213, and each end of the horizontal rod body 212 is fixedly connected to one of the connecting arms 213; the first splicing surface 121 and the second splicing surface 211 are arranged in abutment, the horizontal rod body 212 is located in the clamping cavity 124, and each of the connecting arms 213 is located in a corresponding one of the limiting spaces 125.

[0062] It can be understood that, since the entrance and exit of the clamping cavity 124 is located at the bottom of the placing gimbal 120, after the side wing solar power supply module 210 is spliced with the placing gimbal 120, the horizontal rod body 212 can be clamped in the clamping cavity 124 from the bottom of the placing gimbal 120, and each connecting arm 213 is respectively embedded in a corresponding beam limiting space 125. When the solar vehicle monitoring instrument is in a placed state, since the bottom of the placing gimbal 120 is attached to a lower part such as the central control area of the vehicle, the horizontal rod body 212 is less likely to be loosened from the entrance and exit of the clamping cavity 124, and by attaching the first splicing surface 121 to the second splicing surface 211, the position of the side wing solar power supply module 210 and the placing gimbal 120 can be more compact, reducing the displacement between the side wing solar power supply module 210 and the placing gimbal 120 when the vehicle is jolted.

[0063] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 Due to the structural design of the plug-in slot 214, after the part of the lead plug-in sheet 2111 is inserted into the gap and forms an electrically conductive structure with the pre-tightening sheet body 1212, the current passing through the lead plug-in sheet 2111 will generate static electricity on the surface of the lead plug-in sheet 2111. Dust in the air is easily attracted by static electricity and attached to the surface of the lead plug-in sheet 2111, thereby affecting the conductivity of the lead plug-in sheet 2111.

[0064] In order to reduce the accumulation of dust on the surface of the lead plug-in sheet 2111, in some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3The slot of the plug-in groove 214 is fixedly provided with an anti-static flexible sealing block 2140, an opening 2141 is formed in the anti-static flexible sealing block 2140, and a dust scraping lip is arranged at the edge of the opening 2141. The opening 2141 is connected to the gap between the two pre-tightening sheet bodies 1212. It can be understood that the slot of the plug-in groove 214 is sealed to reduce the entry of external dust by fixing the anti-static flexible sealing block 2140 at the slot of the plug-in groove 214. Since the opening 2141 is connected to the gap between the two pre-tightening sheet bodies 1212, part of the guide plug-in sheet 2111 can be extruded to deform the anti-static flexible sealing block 2140 to open the opening 2141 and enter the gap. After the guide plug-in sheet 2111 is located in the gap, the anti-static flexible sealing block 2140 restores to close the opening 2141 to prevent external dust from entering. Since the dust scraping lip is arranged at the edge of the opening 2141, the dust scraping lip can act on the surface of the guide plug-in sheet 2111 to scrape the dust accumulated on the surface of the guide plug-in sheet 2111 and improve the conductivity of the guide plug-in sheet 2111. Specifically, in this embodiment, the anti-static flexible sealing block 2140 can be an anti-static silica gel sealing block, an anti-static rubber sealing block, etc., which is not limited here, and other options can be selected by those skilled in the art as needed.

[0065] In other embodiments, the side wing solar power supply module and the placing holder are connected by magnetic attraction. It can be understood that the side wing solar power supply module and the placing holder are closely attracted together by magnetic force, and can be separated by overcoming the magnetic force by pulling. Specifically, the placing holder is provided with a first magnetic block, and the side wing solar power supply module is provided with a second magnetic block. The first magnetic block is arranged in position corresponding to the second magnetic block, and the first magnetic block and the second magnetic block attract each other.

[0066] In other embodiments, the side wing solar power supply module and the placing holder are connected by screw threads. It can be understood that the side wing solar power supply module and the placing holder can be easily assembled or disassembled by screw threads. Specifically, the side wing solar power supply module and the placing holder are assembled together by screws. Of course, this is only an example and does not limit the disclosure. Those skilled in the art can also select other screw thread connection methods as needed.

[0067] Please refer to Figure 2In some embodiments, the solar power assembly 200 includes a plurality of solar power sub-units 220. The plurality of solar power sub-units 220 are arranged in sequence and adjacent two solar power sub-units 220 are connected to each other. It can be understood that, due to the connection between adjacent two solar power sub-units 220, the solar power sub-units 220 can be connected in series or in parallel to form the solar power assembly 200, so as to meet the real-time monitoring and continuous power supply requirement of the camera main body 110. In the present embodiment, the adjacent solar power sub-units 220 can be detachably connected together, so as to facilitate the user to flexibly increase or decrease the number of solar power sub-units 220 in the solar power assembly 200 according to the power consumption requirement, thereby adapting to the power supply requirement of different power consumption environments.

[0068] Referring to Figure 2 In some embodiments, the solar power assembly 200 is provided with an edge cover 2210 on the connecting end surface of the solar power sub-unit 220 away from the holder 120. It can be understood that, by covering the connecting end surface of the solar power sub-unit 220 away from the holder 120 with the edge cover 2210, the adhesion of external dust or water to the connecting end surface can be avoided, so as to affect the subsequent connection of the solar power sub-unit 220 to an additional solar power sub-unit 220. Further, the outer surface of the edge cover 2210 is provided with a decorative pattern such as a trademark, a pattern, etc., so as to improve the quality of the above-mentioned solar vehicle monitoring instrument.

[0069] In some embodiments, the solar power assembly includes a plurality of foldable solar power units. It can be understood that, due to the plurality of foldable solar power units, the solar power units can be unfolded to receive sunlight when in use, and the solar power units can be folded together to reduce the storage space when idle. In an embodiment, the solar power assembly can be connected together by a plurality of solar cell panels through hinges, shafts and flexible cables, which are not limited here, and other selections can be made by those skilled in the art according to the needs.

[0070] Referring to Figure 5In some embodiments, the outer surface of the camera body 110 is provided with a heat dissipation hole 1101, and the bottom of the camera body 110 is provided with a communication interface 1102; the gimbal 120 is provided with a heat dissipation interface 1201, and the heat dissipation interface 1201, the communication interface 1102 and the heat dissipation hole 1101 are sequentially communicated to form a heat dissipation flow channel. It can be understood that, since the gimbal 120 is provided with the heat dissipation interface 1201, and the outer surface of the camera body 110 is provided with the heat dissipation hole 1101, the heat generated by the power consumption of the gimbal 120 can be dissipated through the heat dissipation interface 1201, and the heat generated by the operation of the camera body 110 can be dissipated through the heat dissipation hole 1101. Since the heat dissipation interface 1201, the communication interface 1102 and the heat dissipation hole 1101 are sequentially communicated to form a heat dissipation flow channel, the heat generated by the gimbal 120 and the camera body 110 can be discharged together through the heat dissipation flow channel.

[0071] Please refer to Figure 2 In some embodiments, the gimbal 120 is provided with an external power supply interface 1202; the external power supply interface 1202 is electrically connected to the driving assembly and is used to be electrically connected to an external power supply device. It can be understood that, when the vehicle is in a dark environment, the external power supply interface 1202 installed on the gimbal 120 is electrically connected to an external power supply device such as a power bank, a vehicle-mounted power supply and the like, so as to supply additional electric energy to the driving assembly, so as to adapt to the insufficient light environment, thereby reducing the power-off of the camera assembly 100.

[0072] Compared with the prior art, the present disclosure has at least the following advantages:

[0073] 1) Since the camera body 110 and the gimbal 120 are connected with at least one rotational degree of freedom, the gimbal 120 can be directly placed in a lower position such as a central control area in the vehicle without installation, which not only effectively reduces the occupation of the space on the windshield to reduce the visual obstruction, but also makes the solar vehicle monitoring instrument placed in a lower position, thereby being less likely to hit the driver during the vehicle body jolting. At the same time, the camera body 110 on the gimbal 120 can be rotated to flexibly adjust the monitoring area.

[0074] 2) Since the first electrical connecting piece 1210 is arranged on the placing holder 120, the solar power supply assembly 200 is provided with a second electrical connecting piece 2110, and the solar power supply assembly 200 is detachably connected with the placing holder 120, so that when the solar power supply assembly 200 is spliced with the placing holder 120, the first electrical connecting piece 1210 and the second electrical connecting piece 2110 are electrically conducted, the driving assembly is electrically connected with the camera main body 110 and the first electrical connecting piece 1210 respectively, and the solar power supply assembly 200 converts solar energy into electric energy to provide the camera assembly 100, thereby eliminating the original vehicle dismounting and wiring power supply process. In this way, the solar power supply assembly 200 can support the camera assembly 100 to adapt to different power consumption environments and achieve the requirement of all-day real-time monitoring and continuous power supply, so that the camera assembly 100 can still monitor the state of the parked vehicle when the automobile is in the state of being turned off or parked.

[0075] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation manners of the present disclosure, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be understood as a limitation on the scope of the utility model patent. It should be pointed out that for ordinary skilled persons in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present disclosure, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present disclosure. Therefore, the protection scope of the present disclosure patent should be subject to the appended claims.
