[0038] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figures 1-3The structural diagrams of the camera 10 at different angles in some embodiments of the present application are shown respectively. The camera 10 provided by the present application can be used in any applicable field, including but not limited to the fields of security monitoring, traffic management, commercial services, industrial detection, and camera shooting and production. The camera 10 can include a base 11, a main camera 12, and a camera mechanism 20. The main camera 12 is arranged on the base 11, and the camera mechanism 20 is connected to the base 11. The camera body 24 on the camera mechanism 20 can serve as a secondary camera of the camera 10. The camera body 24 can rotate relative to the base 11, for example, rotate relative to the base 11 around an axis perpendicular to the main camera 12, so as to cooperate with the main camera 12 to obtain a larger camera view and meet the demand for a larger range of camera shooting. The number of camera mechanisms 20 is not limited and can be designed according to the demand for camera view, for example, in the embodiments shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The camera 10 is provided with two camera mechanisms 20, each of which is provided with a camera body 24 that can serve as a secondary camera. The two camera mechanisms 20 are connected to opposite sides of the base 11, so as to cooperate with the main camera 12 on the opposite sides of the main camera 12 to obtain a larger camera view.

[0039] Referring to Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the camera mechanism 20 includes a rain cover 21, a cover plate 22, a connected structure 23, and a camera body 24. The rain cover 21 includes a cover body 211 and a connecting portion 212 connected to the cover body 211. The connecting portion 212 is connected to the base 11 of the camera 10 to realize the assembly of the camera mechanism 20 and the base 11. The cover plate 22 is arranged on the rain cover 21. The connected structure 23 is rotatably arranged on the cover plate 22. The rotation axis of the connected structure 23 relative to the cover plate 22 can be perpendicular to the axis of the main camera 12 and the camera body 24. The camera body 24 is arranged on the connected structure 23. In the use process of the camera 10, the connected structure 23 can be driven to rotate the camera body 24 relative to the cover plate 22 by means of electric drive or manual drive, so as to realize the rotation of the camera body 24 relative to the base 11 and the main camera 12. At least part of the surface of the cover body 211 of the rain cover 21 on the side opposite to the camera body 24 is a convex arc surface. In the use process of the camera 10, the camera body 24 can be arranged below the cover body 211 in the vertical direction. The convex arc surface of the cover body 211 can guide rainwater and other liquids out of the range of the camera body 24, thereby providing waterproof protection for the camera body 24.

[0040] In some embodiments, the connecting portion 212 is arranged on the base 11, and the connecting portion 212 is detachably connected with the base 11 by any suitable mode such as snap connection, interference fit, threaded connection, etc. This is not only conducive to reducing the assembly difficulty of the camera mechanism 20 and the base 11, but also conducive to the disassembly and maintenance of the camera mechanism 20.

[0041] In combination Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown in FIG. 11, in some embodiments, a slot 2123 is formed in the connecting portion 212 away from the cover 211, and the slot 2123 is open to the side away from the cover 211. The rain cover 21 further comprises a clamping portion 214 arranged on the outer circumferential surface of the end of the connecting portion 212 away from the cover plate 22. The clamping portion 214 protrudes from the outer circumferential surface of the connecting portion 212, that is, the outer diameter of the clamping portion 214 is greater than the outer diameter of the connecting portion 212. The base 11 is provided with a clamping surface (not shown in the figure) facing away from the cover 211. For example, a stepped surface is formed on the inner side of the base 11, and the surface of the stepped surface facing away from the cover 211 forms the clamping surface. When the camera mechanism 20 is assembled on the base 11, at least part of the connecting portion 212 is arranged in the base 11, and the clamping portion 214 abuts against the clamping surface on the side facing the cover 211, so as to clamp the connecting portion 212 in the base 11. It can be understood that the radial dimension of the connecting portion 212 can be adapted to the insertion hole 111 of the base 11, and the outer diameter of the clamping portion 214 is greater than the inner diameter of the insertion hole 111 of the base 11. During the process of inserting the connecting portion 212 into the insertion hole 111, the clamping portion 214 is extruded by the base 11. Due to the existence of the slot 2123, the end of the connecting portion 212 away from the cover 211 can be deformed inwardly to contract, so that the width of the slot 2123 is reduced, and thus the connecting portion 212 can be inserted into the insertion hole 111. When the connecting portion 212 enters the insertion hole 111 until the position of the clamping portion 214 corresponds to the clamping surface, the end of the connecting portion 212 expands outwardly to restore, and the clamping portion 214 abuts against the clamping surface, so as to limit the connecting portion 212 in the axial direction of the connecting portion 212, thereby fixing the connecting portion 212 on the base 11. Through the clamping detachable fixing mode, the assembly process of the camera mechanism 20 can be simplified, and the disassembly and maintenance of the camera mechanism 20 are also facilitated.

[0042] Further, in some embodiments, in combination Figure 5 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, in some embodiments, the cover plate 22 comprises a plate body 221 and a buckling structure 222 connected to the plate body 221, the plate body 221 is arranged on the cover body 211 and cooperates with the cover body 211 to form a receiving cavity 2122. The connecting portion 212 is provided with a wire channel 2121, the cover body 211 is provided with a notch 2111 communicating the receiving cavity 2122 and the wire channel 2121, and at least part of the buckling structure 222 is buckled into the notch 2111. The rain cover 21 further comprises a supporting structure 213 connected to the cover body 211 and arranged in the notch 2111, and the supporting structure 213 abuts against the side of the buckling structure 222 away from the connecting structure 23.

[0043] It can be understood that when the camera mechanism 20 is connected to the base 11 of the camera device 10 through the connecting portion 212, the camera mechanism 20 can be provided with a conductive element such as a wire, which is electrically connected to the camera body 24 and sequentially passes through the receiving cavity 2122, the notch 2111 and the wire channel 2121, and then passes out of the connecting portion 212 from the port of the connecting portion 212 into the base 11, so as to realize the electrical connection between the camera body 24 and the components in the base 11 or the main camera 12. When the camera mechanism 20 is provided with the rotary driving member 26 to drive the connecting structure 23 to rotate relative to the cover plate 22 in an electrically driven manner, at least part of the rotary driving member 26 can be accommodated in the receiving space between the plate body 221 and the cover body 211.

[0044] Therefore, the above-mentioned camera mechanism 20 is buckled with the rain cover 21 through the buckling structure 222 arranged on the cover plate 22, and at the same time, the cover plate 22 is supported through the mutual abutment of the buckling structure 222 and the supporting structure 213, which can reduce the number of fixing screws arranged between the cover plate 22 and the rain cover 21, simplify the assembly process between the cover plate 22 and the rain cover 21, reduce the assembly difficulty, and at the same time, is conducive to improving the installation reliability of the cover plate 22 relative to the rain cover 21, so that the plate body 221 is not easy to collapse to the side of the receiving space and damage the conductive element or the rotary driving member 26 and other elements in the camera mechanism 20, which is conducive to improving the structural and performance reliability of the camera mechanism 20.

[0045] In some embodiments, the cover body 211 and the plate body 221 correspond to the accommodating cavity 2122 and are provided with support columns 25 at opposite positions, and the support columns 25 of the cover body 211 and the plate body 221 are connected to each other. The support columns 25 of the cover body 211 and the plate body 221 can be threaded columns, and the relative fixation of the rain cover 21 and the cover plate 22 is achieved by screwing at the support columns 25. It can be understood that the support columns 25 are arranged to connect the cover body 211 and the plate body 221 by screwing, and the support columns 25 can also provide support between the cover body 211 and the plate body 221, cooperate with the support of the buckle structure 222 by the support structure 213, and further avoid the cover body 211 from collapsing to one side of the accommodating cavity 2122, thereby improving the structural reliability of the camera mechanism 20. At the same time, the support of the buckle structure 222 by the support structure 213 is also conducive to reducing the number of support columns 25 and the number of screws, thereby facilitating the simplification of the assembly process of the rain cover 21 and the cover plate 22. For example, in the embodiments shown in Figure 7 and Figure 9 two spaced support columns 25 can be arranged on the cover body 211, and two spaced support columns 25 are also arranged on the plate body 221, and the two support columns 25 on the cover body 211 and the two support columns 25 on the plate body 221 are fixedly connected by screws one by one. The two support columns 25 on the cover body 211 and the lines between the two support structures 213 approximately form a triangle, and the support of the plate body 221 on the cover body 211 is improved by the triangular support, thereby effectively improving the structural reliability of the camera mechanism 20.

[0046] In combination with Figure 5 and Figure 9As shown, in some embodiments, the buckling structure 222 comprises a buckling body 2221 and a buckling portion 2222 protruding outward from the buckling body 2221, the buckling body 2221 can be regarded as forming a stepped structure with the buckling portion 2222, the buckling body 2221 is located at one end of the connecting portion 212, at least part of the buckling portion 2222 is located inward of the connecting portion 212, the outer side surface of the buckling body 2221 abuts against the end surface of the connecting portion 212 corresponding to the position of the notch 2111, and the buckling portion 2222 is buckled inward of the connecting portion 212, for example, abutting against the inner side surface of the connecting portion 212 corresponding to the wire channel 2121. In this way, the buckling structure 222 is tightly buckled with the connecting portion 212, which can effectively improve the structural reliability of the cover plate 22 relative to the rain cover 21, while making the buckling operation convenient and fast, which is beneficial to simplify the assembly process of the cover plate 22 and the rain cover 21. It can be understood that when the cover plate 22 is fixed on the rain cover 21, the supporting force exerted by the supporting structure 213 on the buckling structure 222 is perpendicular to the buckling force exerted by the connecting portion 212 on the buckling portion 2222, and thus the abutting surface 2131 and the abutting surface 2223, as well as the abutting cooperation between the buckling portion 2222 and the connecting portion 212, can limit the cover plate 22 in two opposite directions of the rain cover 21 pointing to the connecting structure 23, thereby effectively limiting the cover plate 22 on the rain cover 21 and improving the fixing stability of the cover plate 22 on the rain cover 21, thereby facilitating the reduction of at least one screwing process.

[0047] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the buckling body 2221 has an abutting surface 2223 located on the side of the buckling portion 2222 facing the connecting structure 23 and away from the connecting structure 23, and the supporting structure 213 has a supporting surface 2131 facing the connecting structure 23, the abutting surface 2223 abutting against the supporting surface 2131, so that the supporting structure 213 provides a supporting action on the buckling structure 222. In this way, the abutting surface 2223 is simple to set and does not easily increase the occupied space of the buckling structure 222, and the abutting surface 2223 and the supporting surface 2131 are also not affected by the buckling of the buckling structure 222 and the connecting portion 212, which is beneficial to optimize the layout of each component and improve the structural reliability. The abutting surface 2223 and the supporting surface 2131 can be parallel to the axis of the camera body, i.e. perpendicular to the direction of the camera body pointing to the rain cover 21, so as to adapt to the installation layout of the cover plate 22 and the rain cover 21 and provide effective supporting action on the cover plate 22 in the direction of the cover plate 22 collapsing into the accommodating cavity 2122.

[0048] Further, in some embodiments, the support structure 213 is provided with two, and the two support structures 213 are respectively connected to the two side surfaces of the corresponding notch 2111 of the cover body 211, the two support structures 213 are located on the two sides opposite to the buckling portion 2222, the buckling main body 2221 has two abutting surfaces 2223 located on the two sides opposite to the buckling portion 2222, and the two abutting surfaces 2223 abut on the support surfaces 2131 of the two support structures 213 one by one. By arranging two groups of support surfaces 2131 and abutting surfaces 2223 on the two sides opposite to the buckling portion 2222, the support effect of the support structure 213 on the cover plate 22 can be improved, and the structural reliability of the camera mechanism 20 can be further improved.

[0049] In some embodiments, the buckling main body 2221 includes a middle portion 2224 connected to the buckling portion 2222 and the plate body 221, and a wing portion 2225 connected to at least one side of the middle portion 2224, and the abutting surface 2223 is formed on the side of the wing portion 2225 away from the connecting structure 23. When the support structure 213 is provided with two, the wing portion 2225 is also provided with two corresponding, and the two wing portions 2225 are respectively connected to the two sides opposite to the middle portion 2224, and the abutting surfaces 2223 of the two wing portions 2225 abut on the support surfaces 2131 of the two support structures 213 one by one. It can be understood that in the process of installing the cover plate 22 on the rain cover 21, the buckling portion 2222 first extends into the inner side of the connecting portion 212, and then the plate body 221 is buckled to the cover body 211 until the abutting surface 2223 of the wing portion 2225 abuts on the support surface 2131 of the support structure 213, and the buckling portion 2222 abuts on the inner side of the connecting portion 212, so that the cover plate 22 can be fixed on the rain cover 21.

[0050] Please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 10As shown, in some embodiments, the camera mechanism 20 further comprises a rotating driving member 26 and a rotating structure 27. The rotating driving member 26 is rotatably arranged on the plate body 221 of the cover plate 22 and fixedly connected with the connecting structure 23. The rotating driving member 26 comprises a main body and an output shaft. The rotating driving member 26 is capable of driving the output shaft to rotate relative to the main body about an axis. The rotating driving member 26 can be any applicable motor or electric motor. The main body of the rotating driving member 26 is fixed on one side of the plate body 221 corresponding to the accommodating cavity 2122. The output shaft of the rotating driving member 26 is connected with the rotating structure 27. For example, the plate body 221 can be provided with a rotating hole 2211. At least part of the rotating structure 27 is arranged in the rotating hole 2211 and is capable of rotating relative to the plate body 221 about an axis perpendicular to the camera body 24 in the rotating hole 2211. One side of the rotating structure 27 facing the camera body 24 is fixedly connected with the connecting structure 23. The main body of the rotating driving member 26 is fixedly arranged on one side of the plate body 221 corresponding to the accommodating cavity 2122 through a hanging ear structure. The output shaft of the rotating driving member 26 is arranged in the rotating hole and is inserted in the rotating structure 27. When the output shaft of the rotating driving member 26 rotates relative to the main body, the rotating structure 27 is driven to rotate together with the connecting structure 23, thereby driving the camera body 24 to rotate.

[0051] It should be noted that when the camera mechanism 20 is provided with the rotating driving member 26, the camera mechanism 20 drives the camera body 24 to rotate relative to the cover plate 22 in an electric driving manner. In other embodiments, the camera mechanism 20 can also drive the camera body 24 to rotate relative to the cover plate 22 in a manual driving manner.
