[0032] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, wherein the same or similar notations represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are exemplary, and are only used to explain the present application, and cannot be understood as a limitation of the present application. Figures 1 to 3 A camera device according to the first aspect of the present application is described in detail.
[0033] Reference is made to Figure 1 and Figure 2The utility model discloses an embodiment of a camera device, including casing 100, control module 500, camera module 200, drive module 300 and tensioning module 400, form the containing cavity 100a in casing 100, and the cavity wall of containing cavity 100a is equipped with the opening 100b of communicating with outside, control module 500 sets up in containing cavity 100a, camera module 200 is movably set up in containing cavity 100a, and camera module 200 includes the cable 201 for connecting with circuit board, and the cable 201 is electrically connected with control module 500, drive module 300 is connected with camera module 200, and it is used for driving camera module 200 to open 100b and extend or retract containing cavity 100a, tensioning module 400 sets up in containing cavity 100a, and tensioning module 400 includes guide roller 410 and tensioning structure 420, and tensioning structure 420 includes tensioning roller 421, and tensioning roller 421 and guide roller 410 respectively with the opposite side of cable 201 abut, and tensioning roller 421 is movably set along the preset direction to tension cable 201.
[0034] In the camera device of the embodiment, when the camera module 200 is in a non-working state, the camera module 200 is located in the containing cavity 100a of the casing 100, and the camera module 200 is driven by the drive module 300 to extend out of the containing cavity 100a through the opening 100b. At this time, the camera module 200 is in a working state. Under the driving of the drive module 300, one end of the cable 201 connected with the camera module 200 moves with the camera module 200, thereby driving the tensioning roller 421 to move in the preset direction. Under the cooperation of the tensioning roller 421 and the guide roller 410, the cable 201 is kept in a tensioned state in the preset direction. Then, the camera module 200 is driven by the drive module 300 to enter the containing cavity 100a through the opening 100b. Under the driving of the drive module 300, one end of the cable 201 connected with the camera module 200 moves with the camera module 200. When the camera module 200 moves, the tensioning roller 421 moves in the preset direction to cooperate with the guide roller 410 to keep the cable 201 in a tensioned state in the preset direction. It can be understood that, by moving the tensioning roller 421 in the preset direction, the tensioning roller 421 can drive the cable 201 to be tensioned in the preset direction. Under the driving of the camera module 200, the movement range of the cable 201 is smaller, and the cable 201 will not swing, fold or wind due to the lifting of the camera module 200. Therefore, a larger space is not needed in the containing cavity 100a for the installation of the cable 201, the structures in the camera device can be arranged more compactly, and the structural compactness of the camera device is improved.
[0035] It can be understood that when the camera module 200 needs to be in a working state, the driving module 300 can drive the camera module 200 to extend out of the accommodating cavity 100a, and when the camera module 200 needs to be in a non-working state, the driving module 300 can drive the camera module 200 to extend into the accommodating cavity 100a; when the camera module 200 is in a non-working state, the camera module 200 can be retracted into the accommodating cavity 100a, on the one hand, the camera module 200 retracted into the accommodating cavity 100a can make the space occupied by the camera device smaller, facilitating storage and transportation of the camera device, on the other hand, when the camera module 200 is retracted into the accommodating cavity 100a, the shell 100 can protect the camera module 200, so as to reduce the probability of damage of the camera module 200 by the outside, and prolong the service life of the camera module 200.
[0036] Reference Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments of the utility model, the tensioning structure 420 further includes a vertically extending slide rail 422, the preset direction is a vertical direction, the tensioning roller 421 is slidably arranged on the slide rail 422 and abuts against the upper surface of the cable 201, and the tensioning roller 421 can tension the cable 201 under the action of its own gravity. It can be understood that during the process that the driving module 300 drives the camera module 200 to pass through the opening 100b and extend out of the accommodating cavity 100a, the end of the cable 201 connected with the camera module 200 moves with the camera module 200, thereby driving the tensioning roller 421 to move upwards along the slide rail 422, so that the cable 201 is tensioned in the vertical direction, during the process that the driving module 300 drives the camera module 200 to pass through the opening 100b and extend into the accommodating cavity 100a, the end of the cable 201 connected with the camera module 200 moves with the camera module 200, and the tensioning roller 421 drives the cable 201 to move downwards under the action of its own gravity, so that the cable 201 is always tensioned and deformed in the vertical direction under the action of the tensioning roller 421; since the tensioning roller 421 completes the tensioning of the cable 201 under the action of its own gravity, in this case, it is not necessary to additionally install a driving source to drive the tensioning roller 421 to tension the cable 201, thereby reducing the number of driving sources to be installed and simplifying the tensioning structure 420.
[0037] As Figures 1 to 3As shown in some embodiments of the utility model, the tensioning structure 420 further comprises elastic connecting pieces 423, the elastic connecting pieces 423 are connected with the tensioning roller 421 and the shell 100 respectively, and the elastic connecting pieces 423 are used to provide the elastic force for the tensioning roller 421 to tend to tension the cable 201 downward. It can be understood that in the process that the driving module 300 drives the camera module 200 to pass through the opening 100b and extend out of the accommodating cavity 100a, the gravity of the tensioning roller 421 and the elastic force of the elastic connecting pieces 423 applied on the tensioning roller 421 are overcome to drive the tensioning roller 421 to move upward along with the cable 201, so that the cable 201 is tensioned and deformed in the vertical direction. In the process that the driving module 300 drives the camera module 200 to pass through the opening 100b and extend into the accommodating cavity 100a, the part of the cable 201 abutting against the tensioning roller 421 is tensioned and deformed in the vertical direction under the action of the gravity of the tensioning roller 421 and the elastic force of the elastic connecting pieces 423. By arranging the elastic connecting pieces 423, when the tensioning roller 421 alone is insufficient to complete the tensioning of the cable 201 under its own gravity, the elastic connecting pieces 423 can assist the tensioning roller 421 to complete the tensioning of the cable 201, so as to further improve the tensioning effect of the tensioning structure 420.
[0038] Reference Figure 2 In some embodiments of the utility model, the camera module 200 comprises an angle adjusting structure 210 and a camera module 220, the angle adjusting structure 210 is connected with the camera module 220 and is used to adjust the shooting angle of the camera module 220. It can be understood that by arranging the angle adjusting structure 210, the camera module 220 can have more shooting angles, so as to further improve the user experience of the camera device of the application.
[0039] Specifically, the angle adjusting structure 210 drives the camera module 220 to rotate around the horizontal axis.
[0040] As Figure 2 shown, in some embodiments, the angle adjusting structure 210 comprises a first mounting seat 211 and a first motor 212, the camera module 220 is hinged on the first mounting seat 211, the first motor 212 is installed on the first mounting seat 211 and is drivingly connected with the camera module 220, and is used to drive the camera module 220 to rotate relative to the first mounting seat 211, and the driving module 300 is connected with the first mounting seat 211. It can be understood that when the camera module 200 needs to be used, the driving module 300 first drives the first mounting seat 211 to move, so that the camera module 220 passes through the opening 100b and extends out of the accommodating cavity 100a, and then the first motor 212 on the first mounting seat 211 drives the camera module 220 to rotate relative to the first mounting seat 211, so as to realize the adjustment of the shooting angle of the camera module 220.
[0041] AsFigure 2 As shown in the drawings, in one embodiment, the output end of the first motor 212 is connected with a gear 213, and the camera module 220 is provided with an arc-shaped gear surface 221, and the gear 213 is arranged in meshing with the gear surface 221. It can be understood that the gear 213 is driven to rotate by the first motor 212, thereby driving the gear surface 221 on the camera module 220 to rotate, and further driving the entire camera module 220 to rotate relative to the first mounting base 211; the gear surface 221 arranged on the camera module 220 can reduce the setting of additional gear structures, so that the structure of the camera device is simpler.
[0042] Reference Figure 1 And Figure 2 In one embodiment of the utility model, the accommodating cavity 100a is provided with a limiting piece 110, a limiting channel 110a is formed in the limiting piece 110, the limiting channel 110a is communicated with the opening 100b, and the camera module 200 is slidably arranged in the limiting channel 110a. It can be understood that when the driving module 300 drives the camera module 200 to move, the camera module 200 slides in the limiting channel 110a of the limiting piece 110, the camera module 200 is guided through the limiting channel 110a, the camera module 200 can accurately pass through the limiting channel 110a to extend into or out of the accommodating cavity 100a through the opening 100b, and therefore the possibility that the camera module 200 cannot smoothly pass through the opening 100b is reduced.
[0043] Reference Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments of the utility model, the driving module 300 includes a second motor 310 and a screw rod 320, the screw rod 320 is arranged in the camera module 200 and is threadedly connected with the camera module 200, the second motor 310 is connected with the screw rod 320 and is used to drive the camera module 200 to extend into or out of the accommodating cavity 100a through the screw rod 320. It can be understood that since the screw rod 320 is threadedly connected with the camera module 200, the screw rod 320 is driven to rotate forward by the second motor 310, so that the camera module 200 moves upward along the screw rod 320, thereby making the camera module 200 extend out of the accommodating cavity 100a; the screw rod 320 is driven to rotate reversely by the second motor 310, so that the camera module 200 moves downward along the screw rod 320, thereby making the camera module 200 extend into the accommodating cavity 100a.
[0044] Specifically, the extension direction of the screw rod 320 is a vertical direction.
[0045] As Figure 1 And Figure 3As shown, in some of the embodiments, the driving module 300 further comprises a second mounting base 330, the second mounting base 330 is provided with a guide column 340 arranged in parallel with the screw rod 320, the camera module 200 is slidably sleeved on the guide column 340, and the second motor 310 is mounted on the second mounting base 330. It can be understood that when the second motor 310 drives the screw rod 320 to rotate, the camera module 200 moves on the first screw rod 320, and the camera module 200 slides along the guide column 340. By arranging the guide column 340 on the second mounting base 330, the camera module 200 can move more stably, so as to reduce the possibility that the camera module 200 cannot smoothly pass through the opening 100b; at the same time, the arrangement of the guide column 340 enables the load of the screw rod 320 during the movement of the camera module 200 to be partially borne by the guide column 340, thereby achieving the protection of the screw rod 320, and further prolonging the service life of the screw rod 320.
