Technical Field

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

[0002] In the field of surveillance equipment, the design and application of supplementary lighting modules are crucial to ensuring video surveillance quality at night or in low-light environments. Existing surveillance equipment, especially in long-distance monitoring scenarios, suffers from significant limitations in the linkage adjustment mechanism between its supplementary lighting modules and lens modules.

[0003] Currently, the supplementary lighting modules on surveillance equipment generally do not support angle adjustment. When monitoring over long distances, after the lens module adjusts its angle, the supplementary lighting module cannot follow the lens module's rotation, resulting in a deterioration in the supplementary lighting effect. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention provides a camera device to solve the problem that the supplementary lighting module of existing monitoring equipment cannot follow the lens rotation and adjustment, resulting in poor supplementary lighting effect and low shooting quality.

[0007] Furthermore, the camera device also includes a first transmission member and a second transmission member. The first transmission member is disposed between the driving member and the supplementary light unit, and the driving member drives the supplementary light unit to rotate through the first transmission member. The second transmission member is disposed between the connecting structure and the camera unit, and the second rotating member drives the camera unit to rotate through the second transmission member.

[0008] Furthermore, the rotation axis of the output shaft of the drive component is parallel to the extension direction of the mounting surface, and a gear is provided on the output shaft. The first transmission component includes: a rotating frame, which is sleeved on the outer periphery of the gear, and the rotating frame has a toothed structure on the side near the gear. The rotating frame meshes with the gear through the toothed structure; a connecting component, which is provided at the end of the rotating frame away from the toothed structure. One side of the connecting component is connected to the supplementary lighting part, and the other side of the connecting component is connected to the first rotating component.

[0009] Furthermore, the second transmission component includes: a rotating frame, rotatably disposed between the camera unit and the shooting surface, the rotating frame having a hollow structure, the camera passing through the rotating frame, and the second rotating component disposed on the side of the rotating frame facing the supplementary lighting unit; and multiple mounting posts, spaced apart on the side of the rotating frame facing the camera unit, the mounting posts being connected to the camera unit to mount the camera unit onto the rotating frame.

[0010] Furthermore, a rotating shaft is provided at the end of the rotating frame away from the supplementary lighting part, and a rotating groove is provided on the housing. The end of the rotating shaft is rotatably disposed in the rotating groove. The camera device also includes a locking cover, which cooperates with the rotating groove to lock the rotating shaft in the rotating groove.

[0011] Furthermore, the housing also has a mounting cavity and an assembly surface. The mounting surface and the imaging surface are located at opposite ends of the mounting cavity. The camera unit is rotatably disposed inside the mounting cavity, the assembly surface is located outside the mounting cavity, and the supplementary lighting unit is rotatably disposed on the assembly surface.

[0012] Furthermore, the housing also has a protrusion and a stepped portion. The protrusion protrudes from the stepped portion and has a mounting cavity. The protrusion has an end face and a first side face that are disposed opposite to each other. The end face forms a shooting surface. The first side face is disposed between the end face and the stepped portion. The driving member is disposed on the side of the stepped portion away from the protrusion. The supplementary light part is disposed on the first side face and located on the side of the stepped portion away from the driving member. The first side face forms a mounting surface.

[0013] Furthermore, the supplementary lighting unit includes: a cover, rotatably mounted on the mounting surface, the cover having a receiving cavity and a wiring shaft, the wiring shaft communicating with the receiving cavity, the other end of the wiring shaft communicating with the mounting cavity, a connector passing through the end of the wiring shaft located in the mounting cavity, and connected to the connector by a first fastener, the cover also having a light-transmitting surface, the light-transmitting surface facing the same direction as the shooting surface; a light panel, disposed in the receiving cavity and facing the light-transmitting surface, the light panel being used to provide a light source; and a lens, disposed between the light panel and the light-transmitting surface, the lens being used to refract the light from the light panel.

[0016] By applying the technical solution of this utility model, a connecting structure is provided between the camera unit and the supplementary lighting unit. When the connecting structure is in the connected state, the first and second rotating members can be driven to connect, thereby driving the supplementary lighting unit and the camera unit to rotate simultaneously. This allows the supplementary lighting unit to adjust its rotation angle in sync with the camera unit for capturing images of the external environment or objects. When the connecting structure is in the disconnected state, the first and second rotating members separate. At this time, the driving member can only drive the first rotating member to rotate, thereby driving the supplementary lighting unit to rotate independently and adjusting the lighting effect. In this way, by switching between different states of the connecting structure, simultaneous rotation of the camera unit and the supplementary lighting unit or independent adjustment of the supplementary lighting unit can be achieved, ensuring supplementary lighting can be achieved under different monitoring angles. This also meets the need for fine-tuning of supplementary lighting in specific scenarios, improving the applicability and shooting effect of the camera device. Attached Figure Description

[0033] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the present utility model or its application or use. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, this embodiment of the present invention provides a camera device, which includes: a housing 10, a camera unit 20, a supplementary lighting unit 30, a driving member 40, and a connecting structure 50. The housing 10 has a mounting surface 101 and a shooting surface 102 disposed opposite to each other. The camera unit 20 and the supplementary lighting unit 30 are rotatably mounted on the housing 10, with the camera 21 of the camera unit 20 facing the shooting surface 102. The supplementary lighting unit 30 has a light source that provides supplementary lighting for the shooting of the camera unit 20. The driving member 40 is mounted on the housing 10. The connecting structure 50 includes a first rotating member 51 and a second rotating member 52. The first rotating member 51 is connected to the supplementary lighting unit 30, and the second rotating member 52 is connected to the camera unit 20. The driving member 40 is driven to connect with the first rotating member 51. The connecting structure 50 has a connected state and a disconnected state disposed opposite to each other. When the connecting structure 50 is in the connected state, the first rotating member 51 and the second rotating member 52 can be driven to connect, thereby driving the supplementary lighting unit 30 and the camera unit 20 to rotate simultaneously. When the connection structure 50 is in the disconnected state, the first rotating member 51 and the second rotating member 52 are separated, and the driving member 40 drives the first rotating member 51 to rotate, thereby driving the supplementary lighting part 30 to rotate independently. The driving member 40 can be a motor.

[0035] In this embodiment, the specific structure of the connecting structure 50 is not limited, and the first rotating member 51 and the second rotating member 52 can be connected or separated by electromagnetic induction. In other embodiments, the first rotating member 51 and the second rotating member 52 can be connected or separated by a drive component such as a motor or screw.

[0036] By applying the technical solution of this utility model, a connecting structure 50 is provided between the camera unit 20 and the supplementary lighting unit 30, and the driving member 40 is driven to connect with the first rotating member 51. When the connecting structure 50 is in the connected state, the first rotating member 51 and the second rotating member 52 can be driven to connect, so as to drive the supplementary lighting unit 30 and the camera unit 20 to rotate simultaneously, so that the supplementary lighting unit 30 can adjust its rotation angle simultaneously with the camera unit 20 to capture the external environment or objects; when the connecting structure 50 is in the disconnected state, the first rotating member 51 and the second rotating member 52 are separated, and at this time the driving member 40 can only drive the first rotating member 51 to rotate, and then drive the supplementary lighting unit 30 to rotate independently to adjust the lighting effect. In this way, by switching the different states of the connecting structure 50, the simultaneous rotation of the camera unit 20 and the supplementary lighting unit 30 or the independent adjustment of the supplementary lighting unit 30 can be achieved, so as to ensure the consistency of the supplementary lighting and the shooting angle, and to achieve supplementary lighting under different monitoring angles, thereby meeting the supplementary lighting fine-tuning needs in specific scenarios and improving the applicability and shooting effect of the camera device.

[0037] Furthermore, the connecting structure 50 is an electromagnetic clutch. One of the first rotating component 51 and the second rotating component 52 is an electromagnetic component, and the other is a metal component. The first rotating component 51 and the second rotating component 52 are arranged side by side along the rotation axis, and the first rotating component 51 is rotatably mounted on the driving component 40. An electromagnetic clutch is a control device that uses electromagnetic force to achieve connection and separation between two shafts. The electromagnetic component typically has a built-in coil. When the coil is energized, it generates electromagnetic force, attracting the metal component opposite it, thereby achieving a mechanical connection between the two. With the above-described configuration, when the first rotating component 51 is energized, it generates sufficient electromagnetic attraction with the second rotating component 52, causing the two rotating components to come into close contact and form a rigid connection. At this time, the connecting structure 50 is in the connected state. The rotation of the driving component 40 is directly transmitted to the second rotating component 52 through the first rotating component 51, thereby driving the supplementary lighting unit 30 and the camera unit 20 to rotate synchronously, ensuring the consistency of supplementary lighting and shooting angle, and meeting the uniform supplementary lighting requirements for long-distance monitoring. After the first rotating component 51 is de-energized, the electromagnetic attraction disappears, and the connection between the two rotating components is lost, forming a separated state. At this time, the connecting structure 50 is in the disconnected state, and the driving component 40 drives the supplementary lighting unit 30 to rotate independently only through the direct connection with the first rotating component 51. In this way, when the camera angle is fixed, the angle of the supplementary lighting unit 30 can be independently adjusted to adapt to changes in ambient light or meet the supplementary lighting requirements of specific areas. It can enhance the supplementary lighting of a specific target, further improving the shooting performance of the camera device.

[0038] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the camera device also includes a first transmission member 61 and a second transmission member 62. The first transmission member 61 is disposed between the driving member 40 and the supplementary light unit 30, and the driving member 40 drives the supplementary light unit 30 to rotate via the first transmission member 61. The second transmission member 62 is disposed between the connecting structure 50 and the camera unit 20, and the second rotating member 52 drives the camera unit 20 to rotate via the second transmission member 62. Through the arrangement of the first transmission member 61 and the second transmission member 62, the driving force of the driving member 40 can be transmitted to the supplementary light unit 30 and the camera unit 20 respectively. A single driving member 40 can simultaneously drive multiple components to work, improving the device's working efficiency. Furthermore, the transmission members can change the direction and path of force transmission, thereby optimizing the layout of the components within the camera device and improving the space utilization of the camera device.

[0039] In this embodiment, the specific structure of the first transmission member 61 and the second transmission member 62 is not limited. They can be configured as gears, racks, belts, or other transmission components.

[0040] The rotation axis of the output shaft of the drive component 40 is parallel to the extension direction of the mounting surface 101. A gear 41 is mounted on the output shaft. The first transmission component 61 includes a rotating frame 611 and a connecting component 612. The rotating frame 611 is fitted around the outer circumference of the gear 41. The side of the rotating frame 611 closest to the gear 41 has a toothed structure 6111, which meshes with the gear 41. This design ensures a tight fit and stable connection between the rotating frame 611 and the gear 41, achieving a smooth power transmission from the drive component 40 to the rotating frame 611. Furthermore, since the rotating frame 611 is fitted around the outer circumference of the gear 41, compared to having an external toothed structure inside the gear 41, the pitch circle diameter of the rotating frame 611 is larger. With the same module, the rotating frame 611 has more teeth than an external toothed structure, resulting in a smaller tooth gap. This reduces the degree of wobble caused by the tooth gap during adjustment, improving the accuracy of rotation adjustment. The connector 612 is located at the end of the rotating frame 611 away from the toothed structure 6111. One side of the connector 612 is connected to the supplementary lighting part 30, and the other side of the connector 612 is connected to the first rotating part 51.

[0041] Specifically, the connector 612 is fixedly connected to the first rotating member 51 by a plurality of third fasteners 92.

[0042] In this embodiment, the specific structure of the connector 612 is not limited; it can be set as a frame structure or a block structure, etc.

[0043] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the second transmission component 62 includes a rotating frame 621 and multiple mounting posts 622. The rotating frame 621 is rotatably disposed between the camera unit 20 and the shooting surface 102. The rotating frame 621 has a hollow structure, through which the camera 21 passes. The second rotating component 52 is disposed on the side of the rotating frame 621 facing the supplementary lighting unit 30. The hollow structure design of the rotating frame 621 not only improves the freedom of angle adjustment of the camera 21 but also allows the camera 21 to be mounted at the center of the rotating frame 621, thus maintaining the stability of the camera 21's center of gravity during rotation and avoiding shooting shake and instability caused by center of gravity shift. Simultaneously, the hollow structure also provides space for the installation of other components, optimizing the structural design. Multiple mounting posts 622 are spaced apart on the side of the rotating frame 621 facing the camera unit 20, and the mounting posts 622 are connected to the camera unit 20 to mount the camera unit 20 onto the rotating frame 621. This ensures a secure fit between the camera unit 20 and the rotating frame 621, guaranteeing the stability and safety of the camera unit 20 during movement and rotation.

[0044] like Figure 2As shown, a rotating shaft 63 is provided at the end of the rotating frame 621 away from the supplementary lighting unit 30. A rotating groove 11 is provided on the housing 10. The end of the rotating shaft 63 is rotatably disposed in the rotating groove 11. The rotating shaft 63 can provide support for the side of the rotating frame 621 away from the second rotating member 52, preventing the rotating frame 621 from tilting during rotation and ensuring the stability of the rotation of the rotating frame 621, so that the camera unit 20 can be smoothly and accurately adjusted in angle. The camera device also includes a locking cover 70, which cooperates with the rotating groove 11 to lock the rotating shaft 63 in the rotating groove 11. The locking cover 70 cooperates with the rotating groove 11 on the housing 10 to lock the rotating shaft 63 in the rotating groove 11, which can prevent the rotating shaft 63 from coming out of the rotating groove 11 during device operation or under unexpected circumstances, and ensure the stability of the camera unit 20 after the rotation angle is adjusted.

[0045] Furthermore, a damping structure is also fitted around the outer periphery of the rotating shaft 63. The damping structure is used to increase the friction between the rotating shaft 63 and the rotating groove 11 and the locking cover 70 when they rotate, that is, to increase the rotational resistance of the rotating shaft 63. This can reduce the backlash between the gear 41 and the tooth structure and ensure the adjustment accuracy of the camera unit 20.

[0046] like Figure 4 As shown, the housing 10 also has a mounting cavity 103 and a mounting surface 104. The mounting surface 101 and the imaging surface 102 are located at opposite ends of the mounting cavity 103. The camera unit 20 is rotatably disposed within the mounting cavity 103, and the mounting surface 104 is located outside the mounting cavity 103. The supplementary lighting unit 30 is rotatably disposed on the mounting surface 104. This design allows the supplementary lighting unit 30 and the camera unit 20 to be installed in separate cavities. By placing the camera unit 20 and the supplementary lighting unit 30 in different cavities, the assembly and maintenance process of the components can be simplified, reducing the production cost and maintenance difficulty of the device. Furthermore, it can avoid the light crosstalk effect that occurs when the camera unit 20 and the supplementary lighting unit 30 are in the same cavity, reduce stray light, and ensure the imaging effect of the camera unit 20.

[0047] like Figure 2As shown, the housing 10 also has a protrusion 105 and a stepped portion 106. The protrusion 105 protrudes from the stepped portion 106 and has a mounting cavity 103. The protrusion 105 has an end face and a first side face that are disposed opposite to each other. The end face forms a shooting surface 102, and the first side face is disposed between the end face and the stepped portion 106. The driving member 40 is disposed on the side of the stepped portion 106 away from the protrusion 105, and the supplementary light part 30 is disposed on the first side face and located on the side of the stepped portion 106 away from the driving member 40. The first side face forms a mounting surface 104. A mounting surface 101 is formed at the edge of the end face of the protrusion 105 and the stepped portion 106 on the side away from the shooting surface 102. The protrusion 105 and the stepped portion 106 provide independent mounting spaces for the camera part 20, the supplementary light part 30, and the driving member 40, respectively, realizing structural optimization and independent functional distribution, which facilitates the disassembly, assembly, and maintenance of different components. This further improves the structural compactness and functional independence of the camera device, ensuring independent adjustment capabilities for fill light and lens.

[0048] like Figure 4 As shown, the supplementary lighting unit 30 includes a cover 31, a lamp plate 32, and a lens 33. The cover 31 is rotatably mounted on the mounting surface 104, ensuring the waterproof and dustproof performance of the internal components of the supplementary lighting unit 30. The cover 31 has a receiving cavity and a wiring shaft 311. The wiring shaft 311 communicates with the receiving cavity, and its other end communicates with the mounting cavity 103. A connector 612 passes through the end of the wiring shaft 311 located within the mounting cavity 103 and is connected to the connector 612 via a first fastener 91. This improves the reliability of the connection between the supplementary lighting unit 30 and the connector 612. Furthermore, the wiring shaft 311 provides a path and space for the wiring of the internal components of the supplementary lighting unit 30, making wiring convenient and logically clear, avoiding electrical accidents caused by tangled cables, and also providing cable protection. The cover 31 also has a light-transmitting surface 312, which faces the same direction as the shooting surface 102. The lamp panel 32 is disposed within the receiving cavity and faces the light-transmitting surface 312, and the lamp panel 32 is used to provide a light source. The lens 33 is disposed between the lamp panel 32 and the light-transmitting surface 312, and the lens 33 is used to refract the light from the lamp panel 32. The arrangement of the light-transmitting surface 312 and the lens 33 ensures the supplementary lighting effect and the uniformity of the supplementary lighting light.

[0049] like Figure 2As shown, the mounting surface 104 has a mounting hole 1041. The cable routing shaft 311 is rotatably engaged with the mounting hole 1041 via a bearing 81. The cable routing shaft 311 not only provides a support point for the rotation of the lighting unit 30 but also serves as a channel for cable routing. The cable routing shaft 311 and the mounting hole 1041 are rotatably engaged via the bearing 81. The bearing 81, as an intermediate rotating component, reduces friction between the cable routing shaft 311 and the mounting hole 1041, ensuring stable and smooth rotation of the cable routing shaft 311 when the lighting unit 30 rotates, while also ensuring normal cable routing and preventing cable damage or signal interference caused by rotation. The camera device also includes an oil seal 82 and a pressure cap 83. The pressure cap 83 is used to press the oil seal 82 into the mounting hole 1041. The above design ensures that external environmental factors, such as water and dust, can be avoided from affecting the internal components of the camera device when the lighting unit 30 rotates independently.

[0050] like Figure 6 As shown, the camera unit 20 includes a mounting bracket 22 and a lens module 23. The mounting bracket 22 is connected to a mounting post 622 via a second fastener. The lens module 23 is positioned on the side of the mounting bracket 22 facing the imaging surface 102, and includes a camera 21. The mounting bracket 22 supports and secures the lens module 23, and its connection to the mounting post 622 ensures that the camera unit 20 can be angled under the drive of the second transmission member 62. This ensures the stability of the connection between the camera unit 20 and the second transmission member 62, guaranteeing the clarity of the images captured by the camera 21.

[0051] The camera 21 can be set to multiple or single. When multiple cameras 21 are set, the initial angles of the multiple cameras 21 can be the same or different, depending on the actual needs.
