[0037] Please refer to Figures 1-8 A children's watch camera with 180-degree rotation, comprising:

[0038] The hinged assembly 100 comprises a rotating cylinder 110, a first connecting plate 120, a rotation limiting plate 130 and a second connecting plate 140 which are sequentially sleeved on the rotating cylinder 110. The rotation limiting plate 130 rotates with the rotating cylinder 110. One of the first connecting plate 120 and the second connecting plate 140 rotates with the rotating cylinder 110, and the other one is free to rotate relative to the rotating cylinder 110. The first connecting plate 120 or the second connecting plate 140 which is free to rotate relative to the rotating cylinder 110 has a rotation angle limiting structure with the rotation limiting plate 130, so that the rotation range of the rotation limiting plate 130 is 0-180°.

[0039] The watch body assembly 200 comprises a watch body shell module 210. The watch body shell module 210 is fixedly connected with the first connecting plate 120. The watch body shell module 210 is internally provided with a main control circuit board 220.

[0040] The camera assembly 300 comprises a camera housing module 310 and a camera module 320 exposed or protruding from the camera housing module 310, the second connecting plate 140 is fixedly connected with the camera housing module 310, and the camera module 320 and the main control circuit board 220 are electrically connected through the cable 330 passing through the rotating drum 110.

[0041] An azimuth sensor is arranged to sense the rotating azimuth of the camera assembly 300, and the azimuth sensor is electrically connected with the main control circuit board 220.

[0042] The table body assembly 200 and the camera assembly 300 are directly rotated through the hinge assembly 100 without flipping, and the rotation is convenient and simple. The hinge assembly 100 sets a rotation limiting structure through the first connecting plate 120, the rotation limiting plate 130 and the second connecting plate 140, so that the rotating range of the table body assembly 200 and the camera assembly 300 is 0-180°, which not only simplifies the rotating azimuth, but also better maintains the state at 0 and 180°, i.e. the camera assembly 300 can be better maintained horizontally. By arranging the azimuth sensing sensor, on the one hand, the azimuth sensing sensor can provide a basis for the display direction of the display screen 230, and on the other hand, the interactive function can be increased. The circuit connection of the table body assembly 200 and the camera assembly 300 is realized through the cable 330 passing through the rotating drum 110, so as to avoid the cable 330 from being affected due to rotation, and the stability of the electrical connection is ensured.

The rotating drum 110 is further provided with a gasket 170 located at the end of the second damping spring 152 away from the first damping spring 151. The use of two damping springs can provide stable axial restoring force, thereby generating stable rotation damping.

The upper and lower ends of the first positioning protrusion 213 and the second positioning protrusion 313 are both provided with guide surfaces. The first positioning protrusion 213 and the second positioning protrusion 313 are provided. When the first positioning protrusion 213 and the second positioning protrusion 313 are separated, the camera housing module 310 and the watch body module 210 are close to each other under the action of the axial damping ring 150. The restoring force of the axial damping ring 150 decreases, the damping force decreases, and the rotation becomes easier. When rotated to the right position, the first positioning protrusion 213 and the second positioning protrusion 313 abut against each other, the distance between the camera housing module 310 and the watch body module 210 increases, the restoring force of the axial damping ring 150 increases, and the position state between the camera housing module 310 and the watch body module 210 can be better maintained.

That is, the limiting convex block 141 abuts against the limiting convex arc 131 at 0° and 180°. Simply, as shown in Figure 7 The rotating limiting convex block 141 is arranged on the second connecting plate 140, that is, the second connecting plate 140 can rotate freely relative to the rotating drum 110, and the first connecting plate 120 rotates with the rotating drum 110.

Generally, the display is forward at 0°, and the display is horizontally mirrored and flipped at 180°.

[0053] In particular, some interactive functions can also be added by rotating the camera assembly 300, such as automatically waking up the scanning function of the camera after rotating to 180°, and the camera is a photographing function at 0°.

[0054] In particular, the camera module 320 can be arranged at the end of the camera shell assembly away from the table body assembly 200, can be arranged in the middle, or can be arranged close to the side; or the camera module 320 can also be arranged on any one side of the camera shell assembly, and is turned to the other side when flipped; in particular, the camera module 320 is arranged upward on the camera shell assembly, and is turned downward when flipped.
