[0049] Example 1

[0050] Please see Figures 1 to 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a camera device 100 provided in Embodiment 1 of the present utility model. The camera device 100 includes a housing 10, a first camera module 20, and a second camera module 30. The housing 10 includes a base 11, a middle frame 12, and a top shell 13. The middle frame 12 is horizontally rotatably connected to the base 11 and has a shooting window 12a. The top shell 13 is horizontally rotatably connected to the base 11 and forms an inner cavity with the base 11 and the middle frame 12. The first camera module 20 is tiltable and rotatable on the middle frame 12 and is located in the inner cavity. The first camera module 20 can tilt and rotate relative to the middle frame 12 to at least a first posture and a second posture. The second camera module 30 is tiltable and rotatable on the top shell 13.

[0051] Among them, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first posture is the posture in which the lens of the first camera module 20 faces the shooting window 12a to capture the view, as... Figure 2 As shown, the second posture is the posture in which the lens of the first camera module 20 faces into the inner cavity.

[0052] In this embodiment, the middle frame 12 is horizontally rotatably connected to the base 11, and the first camera module 20 is tilt-rotatably mounted on the middle frame 12. The top shell 13 is horizontally rotatably connected to the base 11, and the second camera module 30 is tilt-rotatably mounted on the top shell 13. The first camera module 20 and the second camera module 30 can each rotate in multiple directions, thereby capturing images from more angles and enabling the camera device 100 to obtain a larger field of view and reduce blind spots. Furthermore, the first camera module 20 can tilt and rotate relative to the middle frame 12 to different postures. When the first camera module 20 is shooting, it can tilt and rotate to a first posture, using the shooting window 12a of the middle frame 12 to avoid the lens of the first camera module 20, so that the lens of the first camera module 20 can be aimed at the shooting window 12a for framing. When the first camera module 20 is not shooting, it can be tilted and rotated to a second position. At this time, the lens of the first camera module 20 faces the inner cavity, which can prevent the lens of the first camera module 20 from being damaged by external objects hitting or rubbing against it, thus avoiding affecting the imaging quality of the camera module and extending the service life of the camera device 100.

[0053] Furthermore, by tilting and rotating the first camera module 20 to a second posture to block the first camera module 20, it is possible to prevent the first camera module 20 from taking pictures without the user's authorization and thus leaking the user's privacy.

[0054] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the top shell 13 has a shielding surface 13a facing away from the base 11. The shielding surface 13a is configured as a concave arc shape. The second camera module 30 is located on one side of the shielding surface 13a. The second camera module 30 can be tilted and rotated relative to the top shell 13 to a third and a fourth posture.

[0055] Among them, such as Figure 1 As shown, the third posture is the posture in which the lens of the second camera module 30 is offset from the masking surface 13a, as... Figure 2 As shown, the fourth posture is the posture in which the lens of the second camera module 30 faces the shielding surface 13a.

[0056] In this way, the second camera module 30 can tilt and rotate relative to the top shell 13 to different postures. When the second camera module 30 is shooting, it can tilt and rotate to a third posture, so that the lens of the second camera module 30 is misaligned with the shielding surface 13a of the top shell 13, and the lens of the second camera module 30 is not obstructed for framing. When the second camera module 30 is not shooting, it can tilt and rotate to a fourth posture. At this time, the lens of the second camera module 30 faces the shielding surface 13a, which can prevent the lens of the first camera module 20 from being damaged by external objects hitting or rubbing against it, thus avoiding affecting the image quality of the camera module and extending the service life of the camera device 100.

[0057] Furthermore, by tilting and rotating the second camera module 30 to the fourth position to block the second camera module 30, it is possible to prevent the second camera module 30 from taking pictures without the user's authorization and thus leaking the user's privacy.

[0058] For example, combined Figure 3 As shown, the base 11 includes a main body 111 and an extension 112. The extension 112 is located on one side of the main body 111 and extends away from the main body 111. The top shell 13 is horizontally rotatably connected to the end of the extension 112 away from the main body 111. The middle frame 12 is horizontally rotatably connected to the extension 112 and is located between the main body 111 and the top shell 13, forming an inner cavity with the main body 111 and the top shell 13.

[0059] In this way, on the one hand, the extension 112 extends from the main body away from the main body 111, with one end of the extension 112 positioned away from the main body 111. The top shell 13 is connected to the end of the extension 112 away from the main body 111, thereby creating a gap between the top shell 13 and the main body 111. Furthermore, the middle frame 12 is connected to the extension 112 and located between the main body 111 and the housing 31. Thus, the top shell 13, the middle frame 12, and the main body 111 can enclose and form an inner cavity, which provides installation space to accommodate components such as the first camera module 20.

[0060] On the other hand, the top shell 13 is horizontally rotatably connected to one end of the extension 112, allowing the top shell 13 to rotate relative to the extension 112, thereby enabling the second camera module 30 to rotate horizontally relative to the main body 111. The middle frame 12 is also horizontally rotatably connected to the extension 112, allowing the middle frame 12 to rotate relative to the extension 112, thereby enabling the first camera module 20 to rotate horizontally relative to the main body 111.

[0061] The main body 111 can serve as a support component for the camera device 100. The main body 111 can be installed on a desktop, wall, vehicle, etc. to achieve the overall installation of the camera device 100 and support the entire camera device 100.

[0062] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the camera device 100 also includes a first bracket 40, which is sleeved on the extension 112 and is horizontally rotatably connected to the extension 112. The middle frame 12 is arranged around the first bracket 40 and connected to the first bracket 40. The first camera module 20 is tilted and connected to the first bracket 40.

[0063] In this way, on the one hand, by setting the first bracket 40, which is horizontally rotatably connected to the extension 112, and the middle frame 12 is connected to the first bracket 40, and the first camera module 20 is tiltably connected to the first bracket 40, the first bracket 40 can rotate relative to the extension 112, thereby simultaneously driving the middle frame 12 and the first camera module 20 to rotate horizontally relative to the main body 111, changing the horizontal shooting angle of the first camera module 20 while keeping the relative position of the shooting window 12a of the first camera module 20 and the middle frame 12 unchanged.

[0064] On the other hand, the first bracket 40 is fitted onto the extension 112, and the middle frame 12 is arranged around the first bracket 40. The extension 112, the first bracket 40, and the middle frame 12 are roughly arranged in a layered structure, and the overall structure of the camera device 100 is relatively compact, which is conducive to the miniaturization design of the camera device 100.

[0065] For example, the camera device 100 further includes a first pitch drive component 50, which is disposed on the first bracket 40 and connected to the first camera module 20. The first pitch drive component 50 is used to drive the first camera module 20 to pitch and rotate relative to the first bracket 40 to at least a first posture and a second posture.

[0066] In this way, the first bracket 40 provides support for the first pitch drive assembly 50, and the first pitch drive assembly 50 can drive the first camera module 20 to pitch and rotate relative to the first bracket 40, which has a high degree of automation.

[0067] In some embodiments, the camera device 100 further includes a first horizontal drive component 60, which is disposed on the first bracket 40 and connected to the extension 112. The first horizontal drive component 60 is used to drive the first bracket 40 to rotate horizontally relative to the extension 112.

[0068] In this way, the first bracket 40 provides support for the first horizontal drive component 60, and the first horizontal drive component 60 can drive the first bracket 40 to rotate horizontally relative to the extension 112, thereby enabling the first bracket 40 to simultaneously drive the middle frame 12 and the first camera module 20 to rotate horizontally relative to the main body 111, resulting in a high degree of automation.

[0069] For example, the first horizontal drive assembly 60 includes a first motor 61, a first drive wheel 62 and a first driven wheel 63. The first motor 61 is mounted on the first bracket 40, the first drive wheel 62 is connected to the first motor 61, the first driven wheel 63 is sleeved on the extension 112 and connected to the extension 112, and the first driven wheel 63 meshes with the first drive wheel 62.

[0070] In this way, the first motor 61 drives the first drive wheel 62 to rotate, and the first drive wheel 62 meshes with the first driven wheel 63, thereby driving the first driven wheel 63 to rotate. Thus, the extension 112 rotates with the first driven wheel 63, that is, the extension 112 rotates relative to the first bracket 40. When the extension 112 is fixed to the main body 111, it is equivalent to the first bracket 40 rotating relative to the extension 112, thereby simultaneously driving the middle frame 12 and the first camera module 20 to rotate horizontally relative to the main body 111.

[0071] Optionally, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the first driven wheel 63 is provided with an annular groove 63a, which surrounds the extension 112. The first bracket 40 is provided with an annular protrusion 40a that matches the annular groove 63a. The annular protrusion 40a is connected to the annular groove 63a so that the first bracket 40 and the extension 112 can be horizontally rotatably connected.

[0072] In this way, the annular protrusion 40a connects to the annular groove 63a, achieving a horizontal rotational connection between the first bracket 40 and the extension 112. Furthermore, the first driven wheel 63 serves as both a transmission component in the first horizontal drive assembly 60 and an intermediate component connecting the first bracket 40 and the extension 112, achieving structural reuse, reducing the number of components in the camera device 100, and resulting in a smaller overall size and lighter weight for the camera device 100.

[0073] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the camera device 100 also includes a second horizontal drive assembly 70, which is disposed on the extension 112 and connected to the top shell 13. The second horizontal drive assembly 70 is used to drive the top shell 13 to rotate horizontally relative to the extension 112.

[0074] In this way, the top shell 13 is driven to rotate horizontally relative to the extension 112 by the second horizontal drive component 70, thereby causing the top shell 13 to drive the second camera module 30 to rotate horizontally relative to the main body 111, which has a high degree of automation.

[0075] For example, the second horizontal drive assembly 70 includes a second motor 71, a second drive wheel 72 and a second driven wheel 73. The second motor 71 is located in the extension 112, the second drive wheel 72 is connected to the second motor 71, and the second driven wheel 73 is located in the top shell 13 and meshes with the second drive wheel 72.

[0076] In this way, the second motor 71 drives the second drive wheel 72 to rotate, and the second drive wheel 72 meshes with the second driven wheel 73, thereby driving the second driven wheel 73 to rotate. As a result, the top shell 13 rotates with the first driven wheel 63 relative to the extension 112, thereby driving the second camera module 30 to rotate horizontally relative to the main body 111.

[0077] In some embodiments, the extension 112 has a hollow portion 112a that extends to one end of the extension 112 away from the main body 111. The second motor 71 is disposed in the hollow portion 112a. The second horizontal drive assembly 70 also includes a drive shaft 74, one end of which is connected to the second motor 71, and the other end of which extends outside the hollow portion 112a and is connected to the second drive wheel 72.

[0078] By arranging the second motor 71 and drive shaft 74 in the hollow portion 112a, the space occupied by the second motor 71 and drive shaft 74 can be reduced, resulting in a more compact overall structure of the camera device 100, which is beneficial for the miniaturization design of the camera device 100. Furthermore, one end of the drive shaft 74 is connected to the second motor 71, and the other end extends outside the hollow portion 112a and connects to the second drive wheel 72, enabling the connection between the second motor 71 and the second drive wheel 72, thereby driving the second drive wheel 72 to rotate under the drive of the second motor 71.

[0079] In some embodiments, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the second camera module 30 includes a housing 31 and a second bracket 32. The housing 31 is provided with a clearance window 31a. The second bracket 32 ​​is located inside the housing 31. The camera device 100 also includes a third bracket 80. The third bracket 80 is located on the top shell 13. The third bracket 80 extends from the clearance window 31a into the housing 31 and is rotatably connected to the second bracket 32.

[0080] In this way, on the one hand, the third bracket 80 is set on the top shell 13, and the third bracket 80 extends into the shell 31 through the self-avoidance window 31a and is rotatably connected to the second bracket 32. Thus, the second bracket 32 ​​can be rotatably tilted relative to the top shell 13, thereby causing the shell 31 to rotatably tilt as well, so that the second camera module 30 can be rotatably tilted relative to the top shell 13.

[0081] On the other hand, by utilizing the avoidance window 31a, the third bracket 80 can extend into the housing 31 and rotatably connect with the second bracket 32, so that the connection position of the second camera module 30 relative to the top housing 13 is located inside the housing 31, which can protect the rotatable connection position and avoid the situation where the fit accuracy of the rotatable connection is affected by external forces. The tilting angle adjustment accuracy of the second camera module 30 relative to the top housing 13 is relatively high.

[0082] For example, the third bracket 80 includes a fixing part 81 and a rotating connection part 82. The fixing part 81 is disposed on the top shell 13. The fixing part 81 extends from the clearance window 31a into the shell 31 and is connected to the rotating connection part 82. The rotating connection part 82 is rotatably connected to the second bracket 32.

[0083] In this way, by fixing part 81 being provided on top shell 13 and extending into shell 31 through clearance window 31a, fixing part 81 is connected to rotating connection part 82. Rotating connection part 82 is rotatably connected to second bracket 32. Thus, rotating connection between fixing part 81 and second bracket 32 ​​can be achieved, so that second bracket 32 ​​drives shell 31 to rotate relative to top shell 13.

[0084] Optionally, the clearance window 31a is arc-shaped and extends in the same direction as the pitch rotation of the second support 32 relative to the third support 80.

[0085] In this way, by designing the avoidance window 31a as an arc shape, and making the extension direction of the avoidance window 31a the same as the pitch rotation direction of the second support 32 relative to the third support 80, when the second support 32 pitches relative to the third support 80 to drive the housing 31 to pitch relative to the top shell 13, the third support 80 can move along the extension direction of the avoidance window 31a, and the avoidance window 31a can always make the housing 31 and the third support 80 avoid each other.

[0086] For example, such as Figure 10 and Figure 11As shown, the second camera module 30 also includes a shielding member 33, which is disposed in the housing 31. The third bracket 80 has a shielding part 80a, which is slidably connected to the shielding member 33 and located on the side of the shielding member 33 facing into the housing 31. The shielding part 80a is used to cooperate with the shielding member 33 to shield and cover the window 31a when the third bracket 80 is tilted relative to the second bracket 32.

[0087] Among them, there can be two shielding parts 80a, which are respectively located at the two opposite ends of the third bracket 80.

[0088] Thus, by setting up the shielding member 33 and the shielding part 80a, and utilizing the cooperation of the shielding member 33 and the shielding part 80a, when the second camera module 30 tilts relative to the top shell 13, the third bracket 80 tilts relative to the second bracket 32, and the third bracket 80 moves along the extension direction of the avoidance window 31a. At this time, the shielding member 33 and the shielding part 80a can always shield the avoidance window 31a, leaving only a portion of the avoidance window 31a for the third bracket 80 to extend into the shell 31. In other words, the avoidance window 31a can always remain shielded, achieving dust and water protection, and preventing dust, water, and other foreign objects from entering the shell 31 through the avoidance window 31a and causing damage to the camera device 100.

[0089] In some embodiments, the camera device 100 further includes a second pitch drive assembly 90, which is disposed on the second bracket 32 ​​and connected to the third bracket 80. The second pitch drive assembly 90 is used to drive the second bracket 32 ​​to pitch and rotate at least relative to the third bracket 80.

[0090] In this way, the second bracket 32 ​​provides support for the second pitch drive assembly 90, and the second pitch drive assembly 90 can drive the second bracket 32 ​​to pitch relative to the third bracket 80, thereby enabling the second camera module 30 to pitch relative to the top shell 13, which has a high degree of automation.

[0091] For example, the third bracket 80 has a first connecting portion 80b and a second connecting portion 80c that are spaced apart. The first connecting portion 80b is rotatably connected to the second bracket 32, and the second connecting portion 80c is connected to the second pitch drive assembly 90.

[0092] Thus, the first connecting part 80b is rotatably connected to the second bracket 32, achieving a rotatable connection between the second bracket 32 ​​and the third bracket 80. The second bracket 32 ​​can then drive the housing 31 to rotate relative to the top shell 13. The second connecting part 80c is connected to the second pitch drive assembly 90, allowing the second pitch drive assembly 90 to drive the second connecting part 80c to rotate relative to the second bracket 32. In other words, the second pitch drive assembly 90 can drive the second bracket 32 ​​to rotate relative to the second connecting part 80c, thereby causing the second bracket 32 ​​to rotate relative to the housing 31 under the drive of the second pitch drive assembly 90, achieving automatic pitch rotation of the second camera module 30 relative to the top shell 13.

[0093] This utility model provides a camera device 100, which is horizontally rotatably connected to a base 11 via a middle frame 12. A first camera module 20 is tilt-rotatably mounted on the middle frame 12, while a top shell 13 is horizontally rotatably connected to the base 11. A second camera module 30 is tilt-rotatably mounted on the top shell 13. Both the first and second camera modules 20 can rotate in multiple directions, allowing for framing from more angles and thus providing a wider field of view and reducing blind spots. Furthermore, the first camera module 20 can tilt and rotate relative to the middle frame 12 to different postures. When the first camera module 20 is shooting, it can be tilted and rotated to a first posture, using the shooting window 12a of the middle frame 12 to avoid obstructing the lens of the first camera module 20, allowing the lens of the first camera module 20 to frame the shot towards the shooting window 12a. When the first camera module 20 is not shooting, it can be tilted and rotated to a second position. At this time, the lens of the first camera module 20 faces the inner cavity, which can prevent the lens of the first camera module 20 from being damaged by external objects hitting or rubbing against it, thus avoiding affecting the imaging quality of the camera module and extending the service life of the camera device 100.
