Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of telescopic camera technology, and more specifically, to a telescopic camera device. Background Technology

[0002] Surveillance via cameras has permeated all aspects of life. Most cameras are fixed in location, but their monitoring range is limited by their installation location. Therefore, to expand the monitoring range, people have considered using retractable camera devices. For example, large vehicles often have large blind spots at the rear of the cargo area. To reduce safety hazards, rear cameras are usually installed. However, for large RVs like heavy-duty trucks, lifting devices are often installed at the rear of the cargo area. These devices may house spare tire racks, motorcycles, storage boxes, etc. Therefore, directly installing a fixed camera at the rear is often obstructed by these items, affecting the monitoring effect. Installing retractable cameras can effectively solve this problem.

[0003] CN222338844U discloses a ring main unit monitoring device with a telescopic camera. The camera 230 moves forward and backward via a threaded drive and moves up and down via an electric push rod. However, the crossbar 120 is a cantilever beam with weak rigidity, and the weight of the entire adjustment assembly 200, on which the camera 230 is mounted, is applied to the crossbar 120, resulting in poor structural stability and a tendency to sway, leading to blurred images. CN118257943A discloses a telescopic camera, but its structure is complex and unstable, also exhibiting the problem of swaying and blurred images during operation.

[0004] CN204978461U discloses a vehicle-mounted electric telescopic camera, but the disclosed camera only extends vertically, which cannot effectively solve the monitoring problem of the rear of the RV body.

[0005] Therefore, in view of the shortcomings of the existing technical solutions, this application proposes a retractable camera device, which has the characteristics of simple and stable structure, large adjustment range and high adjustment efficiency, and is suitable for monitoring the rear of large RV bodies. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0033] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0034] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Example

[0035] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, a retractable camera device includes: a camera assembly 100, a moving assembly 200, a fixed assembly 300, and a driving assembly 400. The camera assembly 100 is mounted on the front end of the moving assembly 200. The fixed assembly 300 includes a sliding seat 310 and a fixed seat 320. The moving assembly 200 is in a transmission engagement with the sliding seat 310. One end of the driving assembly 400 is connected to the fixed seat 320, and the other end is connected to the moving assembly 200. The driving assembly 400 can drive the moving assembly 200 to move back and forth relative to the sliding seat 310.

[0036] Furthermore, the moving component 200 includes a frame 210, which includes an integrally connected side plate 211 and a bottom plate 212. There are two side plates 211, and a horizontal plate is provided between the two side plates 211. The horizontal plate includes a first horizontal plate 213 and a second horizontal plate 214 from front to back. The first horizontal plate 213 is located at the front end of the frame 210, and the second horizontal plate 214 is located close to the first horizontal plate 213. The camera component 100 includes a camera 110, which is mounted on the first horizontal plate 213. The other end of the driving component 400 is mounted on the second horizontal plate 214.

[0037] The drive assembly 400 can be of various types, such as an electric actuator, a hydraulic actuator, or a pneumatic actuator. An electric actuator is preferred. Furthermore, positioning the second horizontal plate connected to the drive assembly relatively forward has two advantages. Firstly, when the moving part of the drive assembly retracts, most of the drive assembly is housed inside the frame, which helps to shorten the overall structural size. Secondly, when the moving part of the drive assembly extends, the connection between the moving part and the second horizontal plate increases the rigidity of the frame, preventing the camera assembly from shaking during operation.

[0038] Furthermore, the moving component 200 also includes a sliding plate 220, which is fixed to the lower part of the base plate 212 of the frame 210. The moving component 200 slides with the sliding seat 310 through the sliding plate 220. The structure of the sliding plate and the sliding seat can be of various types, all of which are existing technologies. Figure 5 and Figure 8 Only one specific implementation is given. The sliding plate 220 and the frame 210 are fixed by thread fastening or welding. This arrangement can further simplify the process and improve the degree of modular design. Of course, the sliding plate and the frame can also be set as one piece.

[0039] As a further preferred embodiment, the camera 110 is mounted on the first horizontal plate 213 via a camera bracket 111, and the camera 110 is able to rotate relative to the camera bracket 111 in order to better adjust the monitoring angle.

[0040] As a further preferred embodiment, the camera assembly 100 also includes a fill light 120, which is mounted between the first horizontal plate 213 and the second horizontal plate 214 via a fill light bracket 121.

[0041] As a further preferred embodiment, the electrical connection cable 130 of the camera assembly 100 passes through the frame 210 and is fixed to the frame 210. This arrangement helps to protect the electrical connection cable and prevent wear or tangling caused by the movement of the moving components. Furthermore, the electrical connection cable 130 also passes through the mounting base 320. This arrangement enables the mounting base to guide the electrical connection cable and ensure the movement trajectory of the electrical connection cable. Example

[0042] The parts that are the same as those in Embodiment 1 will not be repeated here. The main difference is that the moving component 200 and the sliding seat 310 adopt a rolling engagement.

[0043] like Figures 9 to 11As shown, specifically, the lower part of the sliding plate 220 has an outwardly convex side 221, and the sliding seat 310 includes a base 311 and a plurality of rollers 312 mounted on both sides of the upper part of the base 311. The plurality of rollers 312 are rotatably arranged relative to the base 311, and the rollers 312 have an inwardly concave side 313. The outwardly convex side 221 and the inwardly concave side 313 contact each other, thereby realizing the rolling cooperation between the moving component 200 and the rollers 312.

[0044] It is worth noting that, such as Figure 10 As shown, there is a gap between the lower surface of the sliding plate 220 and the upper surface of the base 311. This setting can further reduce the friction during the movement, thereby reducing wear and improving the movement accuracy and service life. Example

[0045] A motorhome includes a cabin 500, on which the aforementioned retractable camera device is installed, and the retractable camera device is located at the rear of the top of the cabin 500. This arrangement can greatly improve the rear monitoring range and increase the safety of the motorhome during use.
