Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of camera technology, specifically to a camera with built-in supplementary lighting function. Background Technology

[0002] A camera is a device that converts optical images into electrical or digital signals. It is widely used in various fields of modern life. It mainly consists of a lens, an image sensor, a data processing unit, and a housing. The lens is responsible for capturing light and focusing the external scene onto the image sensor. The image sensor, like the human retina, converts light signals into electrical signals. Common types include CMOS and CCD. The data processing unit processes the signals from the sensor, such as noise reduction and color correction, to optimize image quality. Today, cameras have evolved from simply recording images to having diverse functions such as high-definition shooting, intelligent recognition, night vision, and built-in fill light. They play a key role in scenarios such as security monitoring, video calls, photography and videography, and autonomous driving assistance, greatly facilitating information collection and interaction.

[0003] Traditional camera installation methods are limited, making it impossible to achieve diverse installation styles and restricting installation locations. Furthermore, some cameras lack angle adjustment, failing to provide precise multi-dimensional adjustments in height, level, and tilt. In low light conditions, their supplementary lighting effect is poor, resulting in dark images and loss of detail, making it difficult to meet the shooting needs of complex scenes. To address this, we have proposed a camera with built-in supplementary lighting. Utility Model Content

[0045] Camera 12: Camera 12 is the core component. It has a fill light 13 on the top of the cylindrical surface and is connected to the rotating part 8 through the connecting block 9 at the bottom to achieve multi-angle shooting.

[0046] Fill light 13: The fill light 13 is located on the top of the cylindrical surface of the camera 12. It is turned on to provide fill light when the light is insufficient, so as to ensure that the shooting image is clear and avoid dim and blurry images.

[0056] Working Principle: During installation, the base 1 provides basic support. The mounting ring 16 on the upper front of the base 1 engages with the adjusting threaded rod 2. When the adjusting threaded rod 2 is rotated, the internal thread at the center of the fixing plate 3 engages with the threaded rod 2, and the guide holes 18 on both sides of the fixing plate 3 slide on the guide post 17, allowing the fixing plate 3 to move closer to or further away from the base 1 along the guide post 17. Using the rubber blocks on the bottom surface of the fixing plate 3 and the front surface of the base 1, the camera 12 can be securely installed on the edge of a desktop or other locations. The multiple mounting holes on the base 1 provide more installation options via bolts, meeting the needs of different scenarios. Regarding angle adjustment, when adjusting the camera's shooting angle, the operation is divided into two parts: First, the design of the support bar 4 and adjusting bar 5 at the lower front of the base 1 allows for height adjustment. The guide blocks 15 at both ends of the adjusting bar 5 have semi-circular blocks on both sides that slide within the semi-circular grooves on both sides of the guide groove 14 on both ends of the support bar 4. By pulling the adjusting bar 5, the height of the camera can be changed. Second, the connecting plate... 6. Gear 7, rotating part 8, and gear 20 constitute the horizontal angle adjustment. When rotating part 8 is rotated, gear 20 at its bottom rotates accordingly. Since gear 20 meshes with two gears 7 symmetrically distributed inside the connecting plate 6, the two gears 7 rotate synchronously, thereby driving the connecting plate 6 and the connected camera 12 to rotate horizontally, realizing flexible adjustment of the horizontal angle. At the same time, the single hinge at the top of the adjusting strip 5 and the double hinge at the bottom of the connecting plate 6 are hinged through a rotating shaft, allowing the camera to make fine adjustments to the pitch angle within a certain range to align with the shooting object at different heights. When the light is insufficient and supplemental lighting is needed, the supplemental light 13 on the top of the cylindrical surface of the camera 12 starts to work. When the supplemental light 13 is turned on, the light diffuses to the surroundings, illuminating the shooting area and providing sufficient light for the camera 12 to shoot, avoiding problems such as dark images and blurred details due to insufficient light. In a well-lit environment, the supplemental light 13 can be turned off, and the camera 12 can shoot normally using ambient light to ensure natural and realistic images.

[0057] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
