[0033] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these 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 are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0034] Current network cameras typically employ a stacked assembly method, which is inconvenient for disassembly and maintenance. Repairing certain components often requires removing a large portion of the camera body and many internal parts, hindering disassembly, repair, and reassembly. Furthermore, most existing network cameras only allow left and right rotation of the main camera module, limiting the field of view and making them suitable only for general environments (such as office use) rather than specific environments (such as outdoor documentary filming). Therefore, this invention provides the following embodiments to solve the above problems.

[0035] Example 1:

[0036] Please see Figures 1-10 The middle frame assembly includes: a middle frame bracket 1, which includes a base plate 101 and a support component 102 disposed on the top side of the base plate 101; a ball joint assembly 2, which is rotatably disposed on the support component 102 and does not contact the base plate 101; and a first drive motor 3, which is detachably disposed on the bottom side of the base plate 101 and located below the ball joint assembly 2.

[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in this embodiment, the middle frame assembly includes a middle frame bracket 1, a ball joint assembly 2, and a first drive motor 3. The middle frame bracket 1 consists of a base plate 101 and a support assembly 102 disposed on the top side of the base plate 101, with the base plate 101 and the support assembly 102 integrally formed. The ball joint assembly 2 is rotatably disposed on the support assembly 102 and does not contact the base plate 101; that is, there is a gap between the bottom of the ball joint assembly 2 and the top side of the base plate 101. The first drive motor 3 is detachably disposed on the bottom side of the base plate 101 and located below the ball joint assembly 2. The first drive motor 3 and... The ball head assemblies 2 do not interfere with each other. Meanwhile, the base plate 101 is also used to install other components in the network camera, such as speakers and circuit boards. The ball head assembly 2 and the first drive motor 3 are the main components in the network camera. Together with the middle frame bracket 1, they form the main body of the network camera, so that the other components of the network camera can be installed in various parts of the middle frame assembly. When each component needs to be disassembled for maintenance, it is possible to avoid disassembling other unrelated components. For example, in this embodiment, when the first drive motor 3 is disassembled, it is not necessary to disassemble the ball head assembly 2. Only the first drive motor 3 needs to be disassembled separately. In this invention, the two main components of the network camera, the ball head assembly 2 and the first drive motor 3, are respectively installed on the top and bottom of the mid-frame bracket 1, so that the ball head assembly 2 and the first drive motor 3 can be disassembled separately. At the same time, the mid-frame bracket 1, the ball head assembly 2 and the first drive motor 3 are combined to form the main body of the network camera. The mid-frame bracket 1 supports the other components. That is, the mid-frame assembly acts as a main body for installing the other components of the network camera. Compared with the existing stacked assembly method, the mid-frame assembly provided in this embodiment allows other components of the network camera to be installed in different positions of the mid-frame assembly. When each component is disassembled, it will not affect other components. Most of the components installed on the mid-frame assembly can be disassembled individually, so as to facilitate the disassembly, inspection and reassembly of the network camera.

[0038] As a further embodiment, the support assembly 102 includes a first support column 1021 and a second support column 1022 disposed opposite to each other. The two opposite sides of the ball head assembly 2 are rotatably connected to the first support column 1021 and the second support column 1022 respectively, so that the network camera can adjust the camera range and angle when in use.

[0039] like Figures 3-6As shown, as a further embodiment, the ball joint assembly 2 includes a ball joint bracket 201, a second drive motor 202, and a camera module 203. The ball joint bracket 201 has a camera hole 2011. The camera module 203 is disposed within the ball joint bracket 201, with one end of the camera module 203 extending into the camera hole 2011 for external imaging. The other end of the camera module 203 is fixed inside the ball joint bracket 201. The second drive motor 202 is disposed on one side of the ball joint bracket 201 and has a rotating... One side of the shaft 2012 is rotatably connected to the first support column 1021 via a rotating component 4, and the other side of the ball head bracket 201 is rotatably connected to the second support column 1022. In this embodiment, the rotating shaft 2012 of the second drive motor 202 can be fixedly connected to the first support column 1021 or to other components, so that when the second drive motor 202 is working, the rotating shaft 2012 can rotate itself while the shaft is fixed, and drive the ball head bracket 201 to rotate relative to the middle frame bracket 1, thereby realizing the angle adjustment function of the ball head assembly 2.

[0040] In this embodiment, the second drive motor 202 has a sleeve hole 2021 on one side of its rotating shaft 2012. One end of the rotating component 4 is disposed at the top of the first support column 1021, and the second drive motor 202 is rotatably sleeved on the other end of the rotating component 4 through the sleeve hole 2021. Specifically, one end of the rotating component 4 is flat and the other end is cylindrical. The flat end is fixed to the top of the first support column 1021 by a screw, and the cylindrical end extends into the sleeve hole 2021, which is rotatable around the other end of the rotating component 4.

[0041] like Figure 7 As shown, as a further embodiment, a rotating shaft 2012 is provided on the outer side of the other side of the ball head bracket 201, and a shaft hole 1023 is provided at the top of the second support column 1022. The rotating shaft 2012 is rotatably disposed in the shaft hole 1023, and the other side of the ball head bracket 201 can rotate relative to the second support column 1022 through the cooperation of the rotating shaft 2012 and the shaft hole 1023.

[0042] like Figure 8As shown, as a further solution, the ball head bracket 201 is provided with a first limiting protrusion 2013 on the side near the first support column 1021. When the ball head bracket 201 rotates downward to its limit angle, the first limiting protrusion 2013 abuts against the first support column 1021. Specifically, there is a gap between the first limiting protrusion 2013 and the first support column 1021. When the ball head bracket 201 rotates downward to a certain angle, the first limiting protrusion 2013 will touch the first support column 1021. At this time, the ball head bracket 201 cannot continue to rotate. The first limiting protrusion 2013 is used to limit the ball head bracket 201, so as to protect the internal structure of the network camera.

[0043] In this embodiment, the ball head bracket 201 is provided with a second limiting protrusion 2014 on the side near the second support column 1022. When the ball head bracket 201 rotates upward to its limit angle, the second limiting protrusion 2014 abuts against the second support column 1022. Specifically, there is a gap between the second limiting protrusion 2014 and the second support column 1022. When the ball head bracket 201 rotates upward to a certain angle, the second limiting protrusion 2014 will touch the second support column 1022. At this time, the ball head bracket 201 cannot continue to rotate. The second limiting protrusion 2014 is used to limit the ball head bracket 201, so as to protect the internal structure of the network camera.

[0044] like Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, as a further embodiment, the mid-frame assembly also includes screws 5; a positioning post 1011 is provided on the bottom side of the base plate 101, and a screw hole 102 is provided in the positioning post 1011; a positioning hole 301 is provided on the side of the first drive motor 3, and the positioning hole 301 is fitted onto the positioning post 1011; one end of the screw 5 is disposed in the screw hole 102, and the other end of the screw hole 102 abuts against the bottom side of the first drive motor 3. The first drive motor 3 can be initially positioned by the cooperation of the positioning post 1011 and the positioning hole 301, so that the first drive motor 3 can be fixed to the base plate 101 by the screws 5 in the future.

[0045] As a further improvement, the base plate 101 is provided with a bayonet 1013 adapted to the first drive motor 3, and the top end of the first drive motor 3 is disposed within the bayonet 1013. The bayonet 1013 can limit the first drive motor 3 and reduce the vibration amplitude of the first drive motor 3 during operation.

[0046] Example 2:

[0047] This embodiment also provides a network camera, which includes a mid-frame component as described in any one of embodiments.

[0048] In summary, this utility model embodiment provides a mid-frame assembly, including: a mid-frame support 1, the mid-frame support 1 including a base plate 101 and a support component 102 disposed on the top side of the base plate 101; a ball joint assembly 2, the ball joint assembly 2 being rotatably disposed on the support component 102 and not in contact with the base plate 101; and a first drive motor 3, the first drive motor 3 being detachably disposed on the bottom side of the base plate 101 and located below the ball joint assembly 2. In this invention, the two main components of the network camera, the ball head assembly 2 and the first drive motor 3, are respectively installed on the top and bottom of the mid-frame bracket 1, so that the ball head assembly 2 and the first drive motor 3 can be disassembled separately. At the same time, the mid-frame bracket 1, the ball head assembly 2 and the first drive motor 3 are combined to form the main body of the network camera. The mid-frame bracket 1 supports the other components. That is, the mid-frame assembly acts as a main body for installing the other components of the network camera. Other components can be installed at different positions on the mid-frame assembly. When each component is disassembled, it will not affect the other components. Most of the components installed on the mid-frame assembly can be disassembled individually to facilitate the disassembly, inspection and reassembly of the network camera.
