The phrase appears at various places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it necessarily independent or alternative to other embodiments. It is explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.
[0040] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 1 The overall structure of the camera structure 100 in some embodiments of the present application is shown in Figure 2 The exploded structure of the camera structure 100 shown in Figure 1 Figure 1 , Figure 3 The exploded structure of the camera structure 100 shown in Figure 1 Figure 2 As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the camera structure 100 comprises a lens assembly 110, a suction cup 150, and a locking assembly 130, wherein the lens assembly 110 comprises a shell 112 and a lens 113 fixedly connected to the inside of the shell 112, the suction cup 150 is provided with a first through hole 151, the lens 113 is in interference fit with the first through hole 151, and the suction cup 150 is used for adsorbing to a carrier so that the lens assembly 110 is adsorbed to the carrier, wherein the locking assembly 130 is sleeved at the connection between the lens 113 and the suction cup 150, and at least comprises a rotating disc 131 and a pressing disc 132, the pressing disc 132 is located between the suction cup 150 and the rotating disc 131, the pressing disc 132 is provided with a rotating slope surface structure 132a, and when the rotating disc 131 is matched with the first position of the rotating slope surface structure 132a of the pressing disc 132, the locking assembly is in a locked state; when the rotating disc 131 is matched with the second position of the rotating slope surface structure 132a of the pressing disc 132, the locking assembly is in an unlocked state.
[0041] Therefore, the camera structure 100 can be applied to various carriers such as transparent glass, transparent automobile windows, etc. The lens 113 transmits through the carrier to shoot the picture on the other side of the carrier to realize shooting, the lens 113 is in interference fit with the first through hole 151 on the suction cup 150, so that there is almost no gap between the lens 113 and the suction cup 150, effectively preventing air circulation, and when the camera is working, the interference fit ensures that a relatively sealed space is formed inside the suction cup 150, which provides good airtightness guarantee for the stable adsorption of the suction cup on the surface of the carrier, effectively avoids the decrease of adsorption force caused by the entry of gas, and the lens assembly 110 can quickly realize preliminary positioning and connection through the interference fit of the lens 113 and the suction cup 150, without complex installation process.
[0042] When installing the camera structure 100, the suction cup 150 can be aligned with the surface of the carrier first, and then preliminarily adsorbed on the carrier by using the elasticity of the suction cup itself and atmospheric pressure, and then locked by operating the locking assembly 130, because the pressing disc 132 is located between the suction cup 150 and the rotating disc 131, and the pressing disc 132 is provided with a rotating slope surface structure 132a, and when the rotating disc 131 rotates, the pressing disc 132 will be pushed by the slope structure to move towards the suction cup 150. The movement of the pressing disc 132 makes the suction cup 150 always closely fit the surface of the carrier, effectively preventing air from entering due to the rebound of the suction cup, thereby ensuring that the camera will not displace or fall due to insufficient adsorption force during shooting, and ensuring the stability of the shooting work.
[0043] When the rotating disc 131 is rotated to the first position of the rotating slope structure 132a to be in the locked state, the pressing disc 132 will exert a stable extrusion force on the edge of the suction disc 150 under the action of the rotating disc 131, which can ensure that the suction disc 150 is always tightly attached to the carrier surface, prevent air from entering due to the rebound of the edge of the suction disc, and thus maintain a stable suction force. When it is necessary to adsorb the camera structure 100 to the carrier, only need to rotate the rotating disc 131 to the first position of the rotating slope structure, so that the locking structure is in the locked state, so that the camera structure 100 can be adsorbed. When it is necessary to disassemble or re-adjust the position of the camera, the rotating disc 131 is reversely rotated to the second position of the rotating slope structure 132a, so that the locking structure is unlocked, thereby further improving the stability and practicability of the camera structure 100, and providing a stable shooting angle and picture.
[0044] In some embodiments, please continue to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The slope of the rotating slope structure 132a is spiral, the rotating disc 131 is in abutting engagement with the rotating slope structure 132a, and during the rotation of the rotating disc 131, the rotating motion of the rotating disc 131 is transmitted to the spiral slope of the rotating slope structure 132a. Since the rotating disc 131 itself is fixed in the axial direction of the camera structure 100, the axial direction of the camera structure 100 refers to the direction coinciding with the direction of the central axis of the camera structure 100, therefore, the rotating motion of the rotating disc 131 drives the rotating slope structure 132a to move along the axial direction of the camera structure 100, and further makes the rotating disc 131 cooperate with different positions of the rotating slope structure 132a to drive the pressing disc 132 to extend or retract relative to the rotating disc 131, so that the extrusion force of the pressing disc 132 on the edge of the suction disc 150 can be adjusted, and the extrusion force of the pressing disc 132 on the edge of the suction disc 150 can also be smoothly adjusted, providing a gradual and continuous action path for the rotation of the rotating disc 131; and during the rotation of the rotating disc 131, the operator can clearly feel the degree of rotation of the rotating disc 131 every time the rotating disc 131 is rotated by a certain angle, so that the state of the locking assembly can be more accurately judged, and the precise control of the adsorption and disassembly operation of the camera structure 100 is further realized.
[0045] In some embodiments, when the rotating disc 131 rotates in a first direction a, the rotating disc 131 rotates from the second position of the rotating slope structure to the first position of the rotating slope; when the rotating disc 131 rotates in a second direction b, the rotating disc 131 rotates from the first position of the rotating slope structure to the second position of the rotating slope structure, wherein the first direction a is opposite to the second direction b.
[0046] Therefore, when the rotating disc 131 rotates in the first direction a to the first position, the rotating disc 131 can be tightly matched with the rotating slope structure of the pressing disc 132 to form a locking structure, and when the rotating disc 131 rotates in the second direction b to the second position, the locking structure is unlocked. Through the bidirectional rotation design, the rotating disc 131 and the rotating slope structure of the pressing disc 132 are more uniform in stress during use, avoiding local excessive wear caused by frequent rotation in a single direction, prolonging the service life of each part of the locking assembly, and thereby improving the durability of the entire camera structure 100. In some embodiments, the first direction can be the clockwise direction, and the second direction can be the counterclockwise direction. In other embodiments, the first direction can be the counterclockwise direction, and the second direction can be the clockwise direction.
[0047] In some embodiments, the outer circumferential surface of the rotating disc 131 can be provided with direction indications, for example, the first direction and the second direction are marked on the outer circumferential surface with arrows, so as to effectively avoid the problems of unstable adsorption of the camera structure 100 or failure to smoothly disassemble when unlocking due to incorrect operation direction, and help to improve user experience and ensure stable operation of the equipment.
[0048] In some embodiments, the first position is the end of the rotating slope structure away from one side of the suction disc 150, and the second position is the end of the rotating slope structure close to one side of the suction disc 150, wherein the first position can refer to the top of the rotating slope structure, and the second position can refer to the bottom of the rotating slope structure.
[0049] Therefore, when the rotating disc is rotated so that the pressing disc moves from the second position to the first position, the pressing disc extends relative to the rotating disc, and thus, in the case that the axial position of the rotating disc in the camera structure remains unchanged, the extension of the pressing disc relative to the rotating disc can provide greater extrusion force to the suction disc. Conversely, when the rotating disc is rotated so that the pressing disc moves from the first position back to the second position, the pressing disc retracts relative to the rotating disc, and thus, in the case that the axial position of the rotating disc in the camera structure remains unchanged, the retraction of the pressing disc relative to the rotating disc can reduce the extrusion force to the suction disc, so that the adsorption force between the suction disc and the carrier is weakened, thereby facilitating the removal of the camera from the carrier to complete the disassembly operation. By rotating the disc to control the extension and retraction of the pressing disc, the extrusion force to the suction disc can be flexibly adjusted to meet the needs of the camera in different use scenarios, which can not only ensure stable adsorption on the carrier during work, but also easily disassemble when needed, greatly improving the convenience and practicality of the camera use.
[0050] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , Figure 4 for Figure 1 the cross-sectional view of the camera structure 100. Figure 5 for Figure 4 the exploded view of the cross-sectional view. In some embodiments, the rotating disc 131 is provided with at least one abutting portion 131a on the inner wall of the side facing the pressing disc 132, and the abutting portion 131a abuts on the slope surface of the rotating slope surface structure. Wherein, the abutting portion 131a is in close abutment with the slope surface of the rotating slope surface structure, and during the rotation of the rotating disc 131, the abutting portion 131a moves along the slope surface, so that the operator can clearly feel the position change of the rotating disc 131 and the change of the locking assembly, thereby accurately controlling the rotation degree of the rotating disc 131, ensuring that the locking assembly can reach the best state when locking and unlocking, and avoiding the problems of loose locking or difficult unlocking due to improper operation, etc. Wherein, the number of the abutting portion 131a can be set according to the actual situation, which is not limited here.
[0051] Please continue to refer to Figure 5The suction cup 150 comprises a connecting portion 152 and a suction cup body 153, the suction cup body 153 is annular and connected to the outer periphery of the connecting portion 152. The connecting portion 152 is protruded along the axial direction of the camera structure 100 relative to the suction cup body 153. The first through hole 151 penetrates the connecting portion 152 along the axial direction of the camera structure 100. The lens 113 of the lens assembly 110 is protruded along the axial direction of the camera structure 100 relative to the shell 112. The lens 113 is arranged in the first through hole 151 and exposed from the side of the first through hole 151 away from the lens assembly, so that the light carrier can be used to shoot the scene on the other side of the carrier.
[0052] When the lens assembly and the suction cup are connected, the connecting portion 152 is arranged between the shell of the lens assembly and the suction cup body of the suction cup, and the rotating disc 131 and the pressing disc 132 are sleeved on the connecting portion 152. Therefore, the third through hole 131d and the fourth through hole 132d are arranged on the rotating disc and the pressing disc respectively and correspond to the position of the connecting portion.
[0053] In some embodiments, the lens 113 is externally provided with an external thread structure, and the inner wall of the connecting portion 152 is provided with an internal thread matched with the external thread. During installation, the lens 113 is aligned with the first through hole 151, the external thread of the lens is preliminarily aligned with the internal thread of the through hole, and the lens is screwed with the suction cup by rotating the lens, so that the lens and the suction cup form a stable whole structure, which ensures the stability of the lens during shooting and prevents the lens from being displaced due to vibration and other factors. In addition, when the lens needs to be disassembled or replaced, the lens can be easily rotated in the opposite direction, which facilitates the maintenance of the camera. At the same time, the stable connection between the lens and the suction cup also helps to maintain the air tightness of the whole camera structure, ensures the adsorption performance of the suction cup, and enables the suction cup to be stably adsorbed on the surface of the carrier.
[0054] In some embodiments, the lens 113 can also be buckled with the suction cup, for example, the outer surface of the lens 113 is provided with a specific buckle structure, and the inner wall of the connecting portion 152 is provided with a buckle groove matched with the lens buckle. The shape and size of the buckle groove are accurately matched with the buckle structure of the lens to ensure that the lens and the suction cup can be tightly buckled. The connection mode of the lens 113 and the suction cup can be set according to actual conditions, which is not limited here.
[0055] The lens 113 of the lens assembly protrudes along the camera structure axis relative to the shell 112, and is arranged in the first through hole 151 of the suction cup connecting portion 152. The lens and the first through hole have good air tightness. The outer surface of the lens is tightly attached to the inner wall of the through hole, and there is almost no gap. This effectively blocks external light from entering the lens and the suction cup connecting portion, avoiding stray light interference with the lens imaging. At the same time, the connecting portion 152 protrudes along the axis relative to the suction cup body 153, further forming a structure to block light, reducing the possibility of light entering the lens from the side. The rotating disc 131 and the pressing disc are sleeved on the suction cup connecting portion 152. The rotating disc is provided with a third through hole 131d, and the pressing disc is provided with a fourth through hole 132d. The cooperation between the two and the connecting portion is relatively tight. During installation, when the rotating disc rotates and the pressing disc extrudes the suction cup, the contact surfaces between the pressing disc and the suction cup connecting portion and between the rotating disc and the suction cup connecting portion further strengthen the blocking of light. At the same time, the structure design of the rotating disc and the pressing disc can also block some light that may enter from the side, reducing the influence of light on lens shooting. In some embodiments, the shell 112 of the lens assembly and other components in the camera structure 100 can be made of light-shielding materials during design and manufacturing. The shell can effectively wrap and protect the inside of the lens assembly 110, preventing external light from entering from the side or top of the lens assembly. In some embodiments, the connection and cooperation between other components can also use auxiliary measures such as sealing rubber strips to further enhance the light-shielding effect and ensure that the entire camera structure 100 will not be disturbed by other light during operation, thereby ensuring that the lens can shoot clear and accurate images.
[0056] Please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 6 for Figure 2 the partial exploded structure diagram of the camera structure 100 shown in the figure Figure 1 . As shown in the figure, A indicates the first position of the rotating slope structure 132a, and B indicates the second position of the rotating slope structure 132a. The pressing disc 132 further includes a disc body structure 132c, which is connected around the rotating slope structure 132a. The rotating slope structure 132a protrudes away from the suction cup 150 on the axis of the camera structure 100 relative to the disc body structure 132c.
[0057] The fourth through hole 132d is formed through the center of the rotating slope structure 132a. The outer peripheral wall of the rotating slope structure 132a forms a spiral slope. The first position A of the spiral slope structure is the end of the rotating slope structure 132a away from the disc body structure 132c. The second position of the spiral slope structure is the end of the rotating slope structure 132a close to the disc body structure 132c.
[0058] Please refer to the following: Figure 7 and Figure 8 , Figure 7 for Figure 2 Partial exploded view of the camera structure 100 shown. Figure 2 , Figure 8 for Figure 7 The diagram shows a cross-sectional view of the structure. The rotating disk 131 includes a central partition 1311, an annular peripheral wall 1312, a first receiving space 1311a, and a second receiving space 1311b. The central partition 1311 extends radially inward along the rotating disk 131 and bends away from the disk body structure 132c, forming a Z-shaped bend that divides the internal space of the rotating disk 131 into the first receiving space 1311a and the second receiving space 1311b. The first receiving space 1311a accommodates the fixing component 120, thus connecting the fixing component 120 to the rotating disk 131. The second receiving space 1311b cooperates with the disk body structure 132c and the rotating ramp structure 132a of the pressure plate 132. Therefore, when the rotating disk 131 rotates, the pressure plate 132 rotates within the second receiving space 1311b due to the guiding effect of the rotating ramp structure 132a. This rotation allows for the squeezing or releasing of the suction cup 150, thereby adjusting the adhesion between the suction cup 150 and the carrier surface. During camera installation, the rotation of the rotating disk 131 causes the pressure plate 132 to press against the suction cup, enhancing the adhesion for a secure installation. During disassembly, the rotating disk 131 is rotated in the opposite direction, causing the pressure plate 132 to release its pressure on the suction cup, facilitating disassembly. By dividing the internal space of the rotating disk 131 into a first receiving space 1311a and a second receiving space 1311b, the internal components of the rotating disk 131 are arranged compactly and rationally, avoiding interference between components. Each component works collaboratively within its respective space, enabling the camera to achieve more functions within a limited space.
[0059] Please continue reading. Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, a stop 132b is provided at the first position A of the rotating ramp structure 132a of the pressure plate 132. When the abutment portion 131a is located at the first position A of the rotating ramp structure 132a, it abuts against the stop 132b. The stop 132b provides a clear locking indicator for the rotation of the rotating plate 131. When the operator rotates the rotating plate 131, the locking assembly is in the optimal locking state when the abutment portion 131a abuts against the stop 132b, thereby further limiting the range of motion of the pressure plate 132, preventing the pressure plate 132 from moving excessively, thus maintaining the structural stability of the entire locking assembly and extending the service life of the locking assembly.
[0060] Please refer to Figure 2 In some embodiments, the lens assembly 110 further comprises a fixing component 120, the fixing component 120 is provided with a second through hole 123, the second through hole 123 penetrates the fixing component 120 in the direction parallel to the central axis of the lens 113, the fixing component 120 is connected with the shell 112, and the lens 113 passes out of the second through hole 123. Wherein, the fixing component 120 is connected with the shell 112, which provides additional support for the lens 113, and such a support structure can effectively reduce the shaking of the lens during use and improve the stability of the shooting picture; and through the second through hole 123, the lens 113 can be ensured to pass out stably along the direction parallel to the central axis, ensuring the position stability of the lens 113 and further ensuring the accuracy and stability of the shooting picture, so that through the design of the second through hole 123, when assembling, only the lens 113 needs to be passed out of the second through hole 123, and then the fixing component 120 is connected with the shell 112, which can complete the preliminary installation of the lens and improve the convenience of installation.
[0061] Please refer to Figure 9 , Figure 9 For Figure 2 Partial exploded structure diagram of the camera structure 100 Figure 3 In some embodiments, at least one first protruding structure 121a is arranged on the fixing component 120 in an interval manner, the first protruding structure 121a extends radially outward along the fixing component 120, and the inner circumferential wall of the shell 112 is provided with a first clamping structure 114 corresponding to the first protruding structure 121a, wherein when the first protruding structure 121a is embedded in the first clamping structure 114, the shell 112 is fixedly connected with the fixing component 120, wherein the first protruding structure 121a can be in an inverted L shape and extend radially outward from the fixing component 120, and the first clamping structure 114 can be embedded in the opening of the first protruding structure 121a, thereby abutting against the inner wall and the fixed edge 121c of the bottom of the fixing component 120, so that the first protruding structure 121a and the first clamping structure 114 are tightly matched, the first protruding structure 121a and the first clamping structure 114 are fixedly connected in the axial direction, and relative movement of the components under stress is effectively prevented.
[0062] The first protruding structure 121a is embedded in the first clamping structure 114 of the inner wall of the shell 112, which can effectively prevent the relative displacement of the fixed component 120 and the shell 112 during operation, thereby ensuring the structural stability of the lens assembly and ensuring that the lens 113 is always in the correct position, avoiding the shaking or deviation of the shooting picture caused by loose connection; during installation, the alignment of the first protruding structure 121a of the fixed component 120 and the first clamping structure 114 of the shell 112 can be completed by pressing or rotating, which improves the assembly efficiency. The number and position of the first protruding structure 121a can be adjusted according to different use scenarios and requirements to adapt to different sizes and shapes of the shell and the fixed component. For example, when the size of the camera structure 100 is large enough, the size of the first protruding structure 121a and the first clamping structure 114 can be appropriately increased, or the number of the first protruding structure 121a and the first clamping structure 114 can be increased, etc. The size and number of the first protruding structure 121a and the first clamping structure 114 can be set according to actual conditions, which are not limited here.
[0063] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the outer peripheral wall of the fixed component 120 is provided with a second protruding structure 121b continuously distributed along the circumferential direction of the fixed component 120. The second protruding structure 121b extends radially outward along the fixed component 120. The inner peripheral wall of the rotating disc 131 is provided with a second clamping structure 131b corresponding to the second protruding structure 121b. When the second protruding structure 121b is embedded in the second clamping structure 131b, the fixed component 120 and the rotating disc 131 are relatively fixed in the axial direction of the fixed component 120.
[0064] When the second protruding structure 121b is embedded in the second clamping structure 131b, the relative movement of the fixed component 120 and the rotating disc 131 in the axial direction is limited. During use of the camera structure 100, the axial relative fixation can ensure that the positions of the components remain stable at all times, avoiding the influence of component displacement on the shooting angle of the lens, thereby ensuring the quality and stability of the lens shooting picture. Through the cooperation of the second protruding structure 121b and the second clamping structure 131b, the fixed component 120 and the rotating disc 131 form a stable whole in the axial direction, which helps to more effectively transmit the force of the rotating disc 131 to the components during the operation of the locking assembly, enhances the stability of the locking assembly to the connection of the suction cup 150 and the lens assembly, and enables the camera structure 100 to operate reliably in complex environments.
[0065] Please refer to Figure 2 andFigure 2 In some embodiments, the pressing disc 132 is provided with a plurality of protrusions 132f at the edge area close to one side of the suction disc 150, and the suction disc 150 is provided with a plurality of concave points 154 at the corresponding positions close to one side of the pressing disc 132, wherein the pressing disc 132 moves towards the suction disc 150 when the protrusions 132f are embedded in the concave points 154. In this way, the accurate positioning between the pressing disc 132 and the suction disc 150 is achieved through the cooperation of the protrusions 132f and the concave points 154, which ensures that the pressing disc 132 accurately covers the suction disc 150 when the protrusions 132f are embedded in the concave points 154, preventing the pressing disc 132 from deviating during installation or use, thereby ensuring the stable and reliable locking effect of the locking assembly on the suction disc 150, avoiding the situation that the suction force decreases or is uneven due to the deviation of the position of the pressing disc 132, and ensuring that the camera is stably adsorbed on the adsorption surface. In some embodiments, the pressing disc 132 can only move towards the suction disc 150 and complete the locking operation when the protrusions 132f are accurately embedded in the concave points 154, which can avoid the situation that the locking assembly cannot work normally or the suction disc 150 cannot be adsorbed stably due to incorrect installation.
[0066] In some embodiments, the edge area close to one side of the pressing disc 132 can also be provided with a plurality of concave points, and the suction disc 150 is provided with a plurality of protrusions at the corresponding positions close to one side of the pressing disc 132, wherein the protrusions are regularly or irregularly distributed, and the shape of the protrusions can be hemispherical, cylindrical or other suitable three-dimensional shapes that can cooperate with the concave points. The surface of the protrusions can have a certain roughness to increase the friction between the protrusions and the concave points, preventing relative sliding during use. The shape and size of the concave points match the protrusions, and the concave points can accurately accommodate the protrusions. The depth of the concave points is moderate, which can ensure that the protrusions can be completely embedded without affecting the overall structural strength and adsorption performance of the suction disc. The inner wall of the concave points can be relatively smooth to facilitate the smooth embedding of the protrusions, etc.
[0067] Optionally, in some embodiments, the edge area of the pressing disc 132 close to the side of the suction disc 150 is also provided with convex and concave points, which are spaced apart from each other, and the corresponding position of the side of the suction disc 150 close to the pressing disc 132 is also provided with spaced apart convex and concave points, which are one-to-one corresponding to the convex and concave points on the pressing disc. The shape and size of the convex and concave points on the suction disc match the corresponding parts on the pressing disc to ensure that they can be tightly fitted. When the pressing disc 132 is connected with the suction disc 150, the convex points on the pressing disc will be embedded in the concave points of the suction disc, and at the same time, the convex points on the suction disc will also be embedded in the concave points of the pressing disc. This two-way convex and concave point matching mode greatly enhances the connection strength and stability between the pressing disc and the suction disc, and constrains and positions them in multiple dimensions. During the working process of the camera, it can effectively resist various external force disturbances and ensure that the camera always maintains a stable working state, thereby improving the reliability and service life of the camera.
[0068] Please continue to refer to In some embodiments, the locking assembly further comprises a resilient member 140 arranged between the pressing disc 132 and the suction disc 150, the resilient member 140 comprises a resilient spiral member made of a resilient material, when the rotating disc 131 rotates to the second position along the second direction, the elastic force of the resilient member 140 urges the pressing disc 132 to retreat, thereby releasing the extrusion force on the suction disc, so that the disassembly operation of the camera becomes easy, and the operation efficiency is improved; the resilient member 140 can also play a role of buffering and shock absorption in the locking assembly, which can effectively reduce the friction and wear between the components caused by external force impact, thereby prolonging the service life of the locking component.
[0069] In some embodiments, the suction disc 150 is double-color injection molded, and the suction disc 150 comprises a hard rubber part and a soft rubber part, wherein the hard rubber part is the connecting part 152 of the suction disc 150 and the internal structural part of the suction disc disc body 153 which plays a supporting role, and the soft rubber part is the area of the suction disc disc body 153 which directly contacts the carrier surface. When the suction disc 150 contacts the carrier surface, the soft rubber part can better fit the adsorption surface to form a good sealing effect and enhance the adsorption force of the suction disc, while the hard rubber part can prevent the suction disc 150 from deforming due to external force pulling or extrusion during long-term use, thereby ensuring the overall structural stability of the suction disc 150. This makes the suction disc still maintain good adsorption performance even in the case of frequent use or bearing large external force, thereby prolonging the service life of the suction disc.
[0070] The elasticity of the soft glue part can also provide certain buffering to avoid damage to the surface of the carrier during installation due to improper force. Through the design of combining hard glue and soft glue, the suction cup can adapt to various different use scenarios and carrier materials. For example, in some scenarios that require adsorption on a smooth and easily damaged surface, the soft glue part can avoid scratching the adsorption surface. In the case of needing to withstand a larger external force, the hard glue part can provide sufficient support to ensure that the suction cup does not fall off. Through the process of two-color injection molding, the hard glue part and the soft glue part can be tightly combined into one whole, improving the integrity and reliability of the suction cup and reducing possible problems caused by loose connection of parts.
[0071] Please continue to refer to In some embodiments, the outer circumferential surface of the rotating disc 131 is provided with a plurality of strip-shaped protrusions 131c, which are arranged along the circumferential direction of the outer circumferential surface. The surface roughness of the strip-shaped protrusions 131c is greater than that of other parts of the outer circumferential surface of the rotating disc 131. Since the surface roughness of the strip-shaped protrusions 131c is greater than that of other parts of the outer circumferential surface of the rotating disc 131, the friction between the operator's hand and the rotating disc 131 is increased. When rotating the rotating disc 131 to lock or unlock, the rotating disc 131 can be held more stably to avoid operation errors caused by slippery hands, ensure smooth rotation of the rotating disc 131, and improve the convenience of operation.
[0072] In some embodiments, please continue to refer to The suction cup 150 is provided with at least one handle component 160 which protrudes radially outward from the suction cup 150. When installing the camera, the handle component 160 provides a force point for easy force application. The operator can control the adhesion of the suction cup 150 to the surface of the carrier by holding the handle component 160, press the suction cup 150 stably on the target position, and ensure firm adsorption. For example, in some cases that require installation in a high position or a narrow space, the handle component 160 makes the operation more convenient and reduces the installation difficulty. When disassembling the camera, the operator only needs to hold the handle component 160 and pull it outward to overcome the adsorption force between the suction cup 150 and the surface of the carrier, so that the suction cup 150 can quickly separate from the carrier, thereby saving labor and avoiding damage to the suction cup caused by improper force. The shape, size or number of the handle component 160 can be set according to the actual situation, which is not limited here.
[0073] Please continue to refer to In some embodiments, a plurality of heat dissipation holes 170 are arranged on the shell 112 and distributed on the surface of the shell 112. When the lens works, the internal electronic components will generate heat, and the heat dissipation holes 170 provide a heat dissipation channel for the heat, so that the hot air in the shell 112 can be discharged through the heat dissipation holes 170, and the external cold air can also flow in, thereby effectively reducing the internal temperature of the shell 112, avoiding problems such as performance degradation of electronic components, poor image quality, and the like caused by overheating, achieving good heat dissipation performance, and ensuring that the lens always works stably and efficiently. The shape, size, and number of the heat dissipation holes can be set according to actual conditions. For example, when the camera structure 100 is large enough, the aperture of the heat dissipation holes 170 or the number of the heat dissipation holes can be appropriately increased to further improve the heat dissipation effect, and the like.
