[0025] The following is combined Figures 1-6 This utility model will be described in detail.
[0026] Example
[0027] A retractable and retractable camera device includes a telescopic mechanism 1 installed in a cabinet 13. The telescopic end of the telescopic mechanism 1 is connected to a mounting bracket 2. A camera 7 that can extend out of the cabinet 13 is mounted on the mounting bracket 2. The mounting bracket 2 is connected to a support plate 6, and the support plate 6 is provided with a magnet 4 for the camera 7 to magnetically attract to the cabinet 13 after it extends out. The cabinet 13 has a storage cavity 12 for accommodating the telescopic mechanism 1 and the camera 7, and an outlet 11 for the camera 7 to extend out is provided on one side of the cabinet 13.
[0028] The cabinet 13 in this application is mainly the cabinet of the smart cabinet. In order to facilitate the monitoring of the use of the smart cabinet, a camera 7 will be installed on the top of the cabinet 13 for monitoring.
[0029] During transportation, the camera 7 is stored in the storage cavity 12. The outlet 11 can be sealed with tape or the handling method can be adjusted to keep the telescopic mechanism 1 stored in the storage cavity 12. When the camera 7 is needed, the camera 7 is extended out of the cabinet 13. The magnet 4 is magnetically attracted to the cabinet 13 to fix the position of the camera 7. At the same time, the support plate 6 will block the outlet 11 to prevent external debris from entering the storage cavity 12.
[0030] The fixed end of the telescopic mechanism 1 is connected to a mounting plate 8 for encapsulating the telescopic mechanism 1 into the cabinet 13. The mounting plate 8 is detachably connected to the cabinet 13 by screws; the mounting plate 8 and the telescopic mechanism 1 are connected as a whole, and after the mounting plate 8 is installed on the cabinet 13, the telescopic mechanism 1 is also installed in place.
[0031] The telescopic end of the telescopic mechanism 1 is fixedly connected to a locking mechanism 3. The locking mechanism 3 includes a fixed base 301, a torsion spring 302 disposed in the fixed base 301, and a rotating plate 303 rotatably disposed in the fixed base 301 to cooperate with the torsion spring 302. A drive rod 304 is vertically disposed on the rotating plate 303. A groove 9 is formed on the mounting plate 8 along the telescopic direction of the telescopic mechanism 1 for the drive rod 304 to extend out of the mounting plate 8. One side of the groove 9 is connected to a slot 10 for placing the drive rod 304. The drive rod 304 is not located at the center of the rotating plate 303.
[0032] The torsional force of the torsion spring 302 deflects the drive rod 304 toward the slot 10. When the drive rod 304 is held in the slot 10, the camera 7 is stored in the cabinet 13. At the same time, the drive rod 304 and the slot 10 cooperate to prevent the camera 7 from automatically sliding out of the cabinet 13, thus avoiding restrictions on the way of handling and the need to use tape. When it is necessary to remove the camera 7, the drive rod 304 is moved by hand to deflect into the slide groove 9, and then the drive rod 304 is pushed forward to control the extension mechanism 1 to extend and remove the camera 7 from the cabinet 13 for use.
[0033] The bottom of the support plate 6 contacts the cabinet 13. The support plate 6 can provide auxiliary support for the telescopic mechanism 1 and prevent the telescopic mechanism 1 from being deformed or damaged.
[0034] The telescopic mechanism 1 can retract and store the camera 7 using a telescopic slide rail. The telescopic mechanism 1 avoids the use of electricity, which can reduce the cost of use.
[0035] An L-shaped mounting plate 5 is detachably connected to the support plate 6. The L-shaped mounting plate 5 is detachably connected to the magnet 4 by screws. The magnet 4 is fixedly installed using the L-shaped mounting plate 5, which facilitates installation. The magnet 4 is installed on the side of the support plate 6 away from the camera 7. The magnet 4 passes through the support plate 6 and its end face is flush with the end face of the support plate 6.
[0036] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
