[0023] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0024] This utility model provides an embodiment of a video conferencing camera, such as... Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the system may specifically include: a base 201 with a support arm 202 on it, and a camera assembly mounted on the support arm 202; the camera assembly includes a lens barrel 101 and an integrated camera 102 located within the lens barrel 101; an adjusting bracket 103, the edge of which is fixedly connected to the lens barrel 101, and the middle part of which is movably connected to the integrated camera 102 through a positioning hole 104; a waist-shaped hole 105 is also provided on the outer side of the positioning hole 104, and the integrated camera 102 is connected to the waist-shaped hole 105 by screws. By setting the adjusting bracket 103, its edge is fixed to the lens barrel 101, and the middle part is movably connected to the integrated camera 102 through the positioning hole 104, and the waist-shaped hole 105 is provided on the outer side of the positioning hole 104 and connected to the camera 102 by screws, the position of the camera can be flexibly adjusted within a certain range by using the cooperation of the waist-shaped hole 105 and the screws, effectively correcting the problem of the lens not being parallel to the base due to assembly and parts processing errors, so that the lens can be aligned with the base, ensuring a level image.

[0025] It should be noted that an integrated camera refers to a camera (which contains an imaging chip CMOS or CCD and a lens adapted to it, including but not limited to a zoom lens).

[0026] In one embodiment of this application, the waist-shaped holes 105 on the adjustment bracket 103 are arranged symmetrically at the center. This symmetrical arrangement of the waist-shaped holes 105 further optimizes the convenience and accuracy of adjustment. That is, there are two waist-shaped holes 105, allowing for more even fine-tuning of the camera position during adjustment, preventing new deviations caused by uneven adjustment, and more stably solving the problem of the lens and base not being parallel. The lens barrel 101 and the adjustment bracket 103 are positioned at the center of the integrated camera 102 via the positioning hole 104. The camera is fixed with screws using the two rotating waist-shaped holes 105. The horizontal angle of the camera can be adjusted through the rotation space of the waist-shaped holes 105. During assembly, the image can be observed by rotating the lens to bring the image to a horizontal position parallel to the base.

[0027] In one embodiment of this application, the support arm 202 and the base 201 are rotatably connected. This rotatable connection allows the camera to rotate horizontally. It compensates for image angle deviations caused by the lens not being parallel to the base, and also increases the flexibility of the camera's shooting angle, meeting the video image requirements of different scenarios.

[0028] The base 201 has a power interface 203, a TYPE-C interface 204, an HDMI interface 205, an audio interface 206, and a multi-function interface 207 on one side. The presence of multiple interfaces on one side of the base facilitates connection of the camera to other devices, expanding the camera's functionality. While not directly addressing the issue of the lens not being parallel to the base, this enhances the overall practicality of the product, making it more competitive in the market while solving the core problem.

[0029] A support frame is provided within the base 201 and support arm 202. The central shaft 303 of the support frame is rotatably connected to the base 201, and a first motor 302 is connected to the central shaft 303 via a first belt. A second motor 301 is also provided within the support frame, located within the support arm 202. The second motor 301 is connected to a side shaft 304 via a second belt 305. The lens barrel 101 is connected to the side shaft 304. By providing a support frame within the base 201 and support arm 202, and controlling the central shaft 303 and side shaft 304 via the first and second motors and belts respectively, the rotation of the lens barrel 101 (containing the camera) is controlled. This design allows for more precise adjustment of the camera angle, provides power assistance for correcting misalignment between the lens and the base, and enables more flexible and diverse angle adjustments, ensuring the image remains level at all times.

[0030] In one embodiment of this application, the first motor 302 and the second motor 301 are connected to the central shaft 303 and the side shaft 304 respectively via toothed belts. Preferably, the first motor 302 and the second motor 301 are servo motors. By using toothed belts to connect the motors and shafts, compared to ordinary belts, toothed belt transmission is more precise and stable, enabling more accurate control of the camera angle adjustment. This provides a more reliable transmission method to solve the problem of the lens and base not being parallel, further improving adjustment accuracy.

[0031] Furthermore, a limiting baffle 306 is provided on the outer side of the support frame, and a limiting unit corresponding to the limiting baffle 306 is provided inside the base 201. The limiting baffle on the outer side of the support frame and the corresponding limiting unit inside the base prevent excessive rotation of the camera during adjustment, protecting the internal structure of the camera. Simultaneously, it ensures that the adjustment process is conducted within a reasonable range, avoiding new problems caused by excessive adjustment, and ensuring a stable and reliable solution to the problem of the lens not being parallel to the base. The lens barrel 101 has a curved glass cover 111 at its front end, which has good light transmission, and a rear cover 106 at its rear end. When adjusting, the rear cover 106 can be opened to adjust the internal camera.

Therefore, the appended claims are intended to be interpreted as including the preferred embodiments as well as all changes and modifications falling within the scope of the present invention.
