The camera is mounted on the mounting base, and the front of the mounting frame has a mounting port that communicates with the interior. During installation, the mounting base with the camera is inserted into the mounting frame from the back, and part of the mounting base extends through the mounting port to ensure that the camera can capture image information of the external environment of the mounting frame through the mounting port.

[0004] However, this installation method inevitably creates a gap between the mounting base and the mounting opening, which not only ruins the overall aesthetics of the camera module, but also makes it easy for external dust and liquids to enter the mounting frame. Utility Model Content

[0043] As described in the background section, a camera module is an integrated component used to capture, convert, and process image signals to achieve camera functionality. In related technologies, a camera module includes a camera, a mounting base, and a mounting frame. The camera is mounted on the mounting base, and the front of the mounting frame has a mounting opening that communicates with the interior. During installation, the mounting base, housing the camera, is inserted into the mounting frame from the back, with a portion of the mounting base extending through the mounting opening to ensure the camera can capture image information of the external environment of the mounting frame. However, this installation method inevitably creates a gap between the mounting base and the mounting opening, resulting in exposure. This not only detracts from the overall aesthetics of the camera module but also makes it easy for external dust and liquids to enter the mounting frame.

[0044] Reference Figures 1 to 5 To address the aforementioned problems, according to one aspect of this application, an embodiment of this application provides a camera module, which includes a camera 100, a mounting base 200, and a mounting component 300. The mounting component 300 has a mounting space 310 and a mounting surface 320, and the mounting surface 320 is provided with a mounting opening 321 communicating with the mounting space 310. A portion of the structure of the mounting base 200 extends into the mounting space 310 through the mounting opening 321. The camera 100 is mounted on the mounting base 200 for capturing images outside the mounting space 310. The mounting base 200 has a retaining surface 210 located outside the mounting space 310, which surrounds the mounting opening 321 and contacts the mounting surface 320.

[0045] In this embodiment, the mounting component 300 is a mounting frame, the mounting space 310 is the internal space of the mounting component 300, and the mounting surface 320 is the front of the mounting component 300. A portion of the structure on the mounting base 200 that extends into the mounting space 310 is fixedly installed within the mounting space 310. The camera 100 can be mounted on a structure on the mounting base 200 located outside the mounting space 310, or on a structure on the mounting base 200 located within the mounting space 310, or on a structure on the mounting base 200 located at the mounting opening 321. No limitation is made, as long as the camera 100 can capture images outside the mounting space 310. The enclosure surface 210 and the mounting surface 320 are kept in close contact, reducing the gap between them and making it difficult for external dust and liquids to enter the mounting space 310, thereby enhancing the sealing performance between the enclosure surface 210 and the mounting surface 320. In addition, both the mounting component 300 and the mounting base 200 are structural components made of the same material, namely aluminum; it is understood that the mounting component 300 and the mounting base 200 may also be made of other metal materials or composite materials.

[0046] The enclosure 210 of the mounting base 200 surrounds the mounting opening 321 and maintains contact with it. This structural design not only prevents the gap between the mounting base 200 and the mounting opening 321 from being exposed, making the camera module's appearance smoother and more seamless, thus improving its overall aesthetics, but also effectively prevents external dust and liquids from entering the mounting space 310 through the gap between the mounting base 200 and the mounting opening 321. This reduces the contamination and damage to the internal components of the camera 100 caused by dust or liquids, improving the reliability and lifespan of the camera module. Furthermore, part of the structure of the mounting base 200 extends into the mounting space 310 through the mounting opening 321, effectively reducing assembly difficulty and improving assembly efficiency.

[0047] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 5 as well as Figure 6 In one embodiment, to facilitate mounting the mounting base 200 onto the mounting member 300, the mounting base 200 has a first connecting post 220 protruding towards the mounting member 300. The first connecting post 220 is provided with a first threaded hole, and the mounting member 300 is provided with a first connecting hole coaxial with the first threaded hole. The mounting base 200 is mounted onto the mounting member 300 by means of a connecting screw passing through the first connecting hole and screwed into the first threaded hole. It is understood that the mounting base 200 can also be mounted onto the mounting member 300 by adhesive, plug-in, magnetic, or snap-fit ​​methods.

[0048] Reference Figure 2 as well as Figures 7 to 9In one embodiment, the mounting base 200 has a camera surface 230, and the camera surface 230 is provided with a mounting groove 231, in which the camera 100 is embedded.

[0049] In this embodiment, the camera surface 230 is the front of the mounting base 200, and the mounting groove 231 extends through the mounting base 200 from the camera surface 230 along the thickness direction of the mounting base 200. Part of the structure of the camera 100 is fixedly embedded in the mounting groove 231.

[0050] The mounting slot 231 provides a precise mounting position for the camera 100, which helps ensure the positional accuracy of the camera 100 on the mounting base 200, maintaining the correct posture and angle within the camera module, effectively improving the accuracy and consistency of shooting; it also reduces assembly difficulty and improves assembly efficiency. Simultaneously, the camera 100, embedded within the mounting slot 231, effectively limits its movement, ensuring the stability of the captured image. Furthermore, the mounting slot 231 also provides some protection for the camera 100, reducing the risk of collisions and scratches from external objects, effectively extending the lifespan of the camera 100.

[0051] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 as well as Figures 7 to 9 In one embodiment, an adhesive structure is used to fill the space between the camera 100 and the wall of the mounting groove 231.

[0052] In this embodiment, the adhesive structure is a fixing adhesive, which can be a liquid adhesive or a solid adhesive; specifically, the adhesive structure fills the space between the peripheral surface of the camera 100 and the wall of the mounting groove 231. It is understood that the adhesive structure can also be epoxy resin.

[0053] The adhesive structure effectively bonds the camera 100 to the wall of the mounting groove 231, enhancing the stability of the camera 100 and preventing it from loosening or shifting during use. Simultaneously, the adhesive structure possesses elasticity and flexibility, acting as a shock absorber when the camera module is subjected to vibration or impact, reducing the influence of external forces on the camera 100 and extending its lifespan. Furthermore, the adhesive structure fills the tiny gaps between the camera 100 and the mounting groove 231, creating a good seal and preventing external dust and moisture from entering the mounting space 310, thus improving the dustproof and waterproof performance of the camera module.

[0054] Reference Figure 9 In one embodiment, the wall of the mounting groove 231 is provided with a limiting protrusion 2312a, which protrudes toward the middle region of the mounting groove 231.

[0055] In this embodiment, the limiting protrusion 2312a is a limiting protrusion strip, and the limiting protrusion 2312a and the mounting base 200 are integrally formed; each wall of the mounting groove 231 is provided with a limiting protrusion 2312a. In addition, an adhesive structure is filled between the camera 100 and the limiting protrusion 2312a, and between the camera 100 and the wall of the mounting groove 231.

[0056] The limiting protrusion 2312a not only provides precise positioning for the camera 100, ensuring it is accurately placed in the predetermined position of the mounting slot 231 during installation and preventing it from shifting or tilting, but also guarantees the relative positional accuracy of the optical center of the camera module with other components, further improving the accuracy and consistency of shooting. Simultaneously, it makes the camera 100 more stable in the mounting slot 231, further reducing the possibility of it shifting due to vibration, shaking, or external impact during use, and further improving the structural stability of the camera module.

[0057] Reference Figure 3 as well as Figures 6 to 12 In one embodiment, the mounting groove 231 is a stepped groove with a limiting groove bottom 2312b. The camera 100 has a limiting surface 110. The limiting groove bottom 2312b is used to block the camera 100 from moving toward the image surface 230 by contacting the limiting surface 110. The mounting base 200 also has a back surface 240 opposite to the image surface 230. The camera module also includes a pressing member 400, which is located on the side of the back surface 240 away from the image surface 230 and is disposed in the mounting base 200 for applying a pressing force toward the image surface 230 to the camera 100.

[0058] In this embodiment, the mounting groove 231 includes a first groove segment 2311 and a second groove segment 2312 that are connected to each other. The first groove segment 2311 is disposed on the camera surface 230, and the second groove segment 2312 is disposed on the side of the first groove segment 2311 away from the camera surface 230. The groove diameter of the second groove segment 2312 is larger than the groove diameter of the first groove segment 2311. The limiting surface 110 contacts the bottom of the second groove segment 2312 and is blocked by the bottom of the second groove segment 2312 from moving toward the camera surface 230. The bottom of the second groove segment 2312 is formed as a limiting groove bottom 2312b. In addition, a limiting protrusion 2312a is disposed on the groove wall of the second groove segment 2312. The pressing member 400 is a pressing plate. The pressing member 400 is mounted on the mounting base 200 and applies pressing force to the camera 100 by contacting the surface of the camera 100 away from the camera surface 230.

[0059] The limiting groove bottom 2312b prevents the camera 100 from moving towards the camera surface 230, and the pressing member 400 prevents the camera 100 from moving towards the back surface 240. The combined use of the limiting groove bottom 2312b and the pressing member 400 provides a dual limiting function, ensuring the camera 100 is stably installed in the mounting groove 231, thus improving the stability and reliability of the camera module. Furthermore, this structural design facilitates the assembly and maintenance of the camera 100. Specifically, during assembly, simply place the camera 100 into the mounting groove 231, ensuring the limiting surface 110 contacts the limiting groove bottom 2312b, and then install the pressing member 400. When maintenance or replacement of the camera 100 is required, first remove the pressing member 400 from the mounting base 200, and then directly remove the camera 100 from the mounting groove 231 for replacement or maintenance.

[0060] Reference Figure 6 , Figure 11 as well as Figure 12 In one embodiment, to facilitate removal of the camera 100 from the mounting slot 231, the pressing member 400 is detachably mounted on the mounting base 200. Specifically, the mounting base 200 also has a second connecting post 250 protruding toward the pressing member 400, the second connecting post 250 being provided with a second threaded hole, and the pressing member 400 being provided with a second connecting hole coaxial with the second threaded hole. The pressing member 400 is mounted on the mounting base 200 by means of a connecting screw passing through the second connecting hole and screwed into the second threaded hole. It is understood that the pressing member 400 can also be detachably mounted on the mounting base 200 by means of plug-in, magnetic attraction, or snap-fit.

[0061] Reference Figure 6 In one embodiment, a heat-conducting structure 500 is provided between the camera 100 and the pressing member 400. The heat-conducting structure 500 is in contact with the camera 100 and the pressing member 400.

[0062] In this embodiment, the thermally conductive structure 500 is thermally conductive putty, which is in contact with the camera 100 and the pressing member 400. It is understood that the thermally conductive structure 500 may also be thermally conductive adhesive or a thermally conductive block.

[0063] The camera 100 generates heat during operation. The heat-conducting structure 500 can quickly transfer the heat generated by the camera 100 to the pressing part 400, and then the pressing part 400 dissipates the heat, thereby effectively reducing the operating temperature of the camera 100 and preventing overheating from affecting its performance and lifespan.

[0064] In addition, to enhance heat dissipation, the pressing element 400 is a heat-conducting element; in this embodiment, the pressing element 400 is made of aluminum; it is understood that the pressing element 400 may also be made of other metals or composite materials with good thermal conductivity.

[0065] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 8 In one embodiment, the mounting base 200 is provided with a transparent lens 600, which is located on the side of the imaging surface 230 away from the back surface 240 and covers the imaging surface 230.

[0066] In this embodiment, the transparent lens 600 is fixedly mounted on the mounting base 200 by adhesive bonding. The transparent lens 600 not only protects the camera 100, but also acts as a barrier, isolating the camera 100 from the external environment and preventing dust, moisture, oil, and other contaminants from directly contacting the camera 100, thereby ensuring the optical performance and image quality of the camera 100. Simultaneously, it minimizes light obstruction and refraction, allowing light to pass smoothly through the transparent lens 600 to reach the photosensitive element of the camera 100, thus ensuring that the captured image is clear, bright, and has high color fidelity.

[0067] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figures 6 to 8 In one embodiment, there are multiple cameras 100, which are spaced apart on the camera surface 230.

[0068] In this embodiment, the number of mounting slots 231 is the same as the number of cameras 100, with each camera 100 corresponding to one of the mounting slots 231. The spaced distribution of multiple cameras 100 allows for wider spatial coverage. Each camera 100 captures an image from a specific angle, and when combined, they provide a wider field of view than a single camera 100, facilitating the monitoring of larger areas or capturing broader scenes and reducing blind spots. Simultaneously, by capturing images from multiple cameras 100, the same object or scene can be captured from different angles. These image information can then be integrated using image fusion and other techniques, thereby improving the overall image resolution and detail richness, resulting in clearer and more accurate images, which is beneficial for detail analysis and identification.

[0069] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 7 as well as Figure 8In one embodiment, the mounting base 200 further has a back surface 240 disposed opposite to the camera surface 230. The camera surface 230 includes a first plane 232, a first inclined plane 233, a second plane 234, and a second inclined plane 235 disposed sequentially. The first inclined plane 233 is inclined from the camera surface 230 to the back surface 240 toward the second plane 234, and the second inclined plane 235 is inclined from the camera surface 230 to the back surface 240 toward the second plane 234. At least one camera 100 is disposed on each of the first plane 232, the first inclined plane 233, the second plane 234, and the second inclined plane 235.

[0070] In this embodiment, the first plane 232 is parallel to the mounting surface 320, and the second plane 234 is parallel to the mounting surface 320. The second plane 234 is located on the side of the first plane 232 closer to the back surface 240. It can be understood that the second plane 234 may also be located on the same plane as the first plane 232 or on the side of the first plane 232 away from the back surface 240.

[0071] Different planes and slopes provide diverse installation angles for the cameras 100, enabling each camera 100 to capture images of the target scene from different directions. The camera 100 set on the first plane 232 can capture images from the front, obtaining images from a normal perspective. The cameras 100 set on the first slope 233 and the second slope 235 can capture images from each other at an angle, capturing side views. This, combined with the camera 100 set on the second plane 234, captures images from the front, enriching the shooting perspective and facilitating comprehensive monitoring or shooting of complex scenes while reducing blind spots.

[0072] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, the camera 100 set on the first plane 232 is a wide-angle camera, and the cameras 100 set on the first inclined plane 233, the second plane 234 and the second inclined plane 235 are telephoto cameras.

[0073] In this embodiment, there is also an inclined surface between the first inclined surface 233 and the second plane 234, and one end of the first inclined surface 233 near the back surface 240 is located between the second plane 234 and the back surface 240; there is an inclined surface between the second inclined surface 235 and the second plane 234, and one end of the second inclined surface 235 near the back surface 240 is located between the second plane 234 and the back surface 240.

[0074] Wide-angle cameras have a wide field of view, covering a large scene area. When mounted on the first plane 232, they can monitor or capture a wide area in front of them, obtaining panoramic information. Telephoto cameras, on the other hand, have a long focal length and a narrow field of view, enabling them to bring distant objects closer and capture clear images, capturing more details. When mounted on the first inclined plane 233, the second plane 234, and the second inclined plane 235, they can be used to observe and capture specific areas or targets in the scene more closely from different angles. Combined with the panoramic information from the wide-angle camera, they can obtain a wide range of scene information while capturing clear details in key areas.

[0075] By rationally configuring different types of cameras 100, the use of high-cost wide-angle or telephoto lenses to cover the entire scene is avoided, thereby reducing system costs while meeting functional requirements. At the same time, this design also simplifies system complexity, eliminating the need for excessive cameras 100 or complex optical systems to achieve comprehensive monitoring and recording, thus improving system stability and reliability and reducing maintenance costs.

[0076] Reference Figures 1 to 12 According to another aspect of this application, embodiments of this application also provide an interactive device, which includes a device body and the aforementioned camera module, wherein the camera module is disposed on the device body.

[0077] In this embodiment of the application, the interactive device is an AI smart screen. It is understood that the interactive device may also be other types of interactive screens, laptops, or interactive smart tablets.

[0078] In summary, implementing the camera module and interactive device provided in this embodiment has at least the following beneficial technical effects:

[0079] On the one hand, the enclosure surface 210 of the mounting base 200 surrounds the mounting opening 321 and maintains contact with the mounting surface 320. This structural design not only avoids the gap between the mounting base 200 and the mounting opening 321 being exposed, making the appearance of the camera module smoother and without obvious gaps, but also improves the overall aesthetics of the camera module. Simultaneously, it effectively prevents external dust and liquids from entering the mounting space 310 through the gap between the mounting base 200 and the mounting opening 321, reducing the contamination and damage of dust or liquids to the internal components of the camera 100, and improving the reliability and service life of the camera module. Furthermore, part of the structure of the mounting base 200 extends into the mounting space 310 through the mounting opening 321. This installation method effectively reduces assembly difficulty and improves assembly efficiency.

[0080] On the other hand, traditional camera modules can only capture a certain angle (less than 120 degrees) of the scene and cannot capture panoramic views; the camera module proposed in this application can achieve 180° panoramic views, satisfying ultra-wide-range video and recording functions. Furthermore, the camera can be tilted 100 degrees to meet the needs of different scenarios, offering advantages such as flexibility and convenience.

[0081] On the other hand, most camera modules on the market currently use a single-camera solution, and their mounting base 200 can only install one camera 100, and most of them are built-in designs hidden inside. Even external designs are plug-in. However, the camera module of this application can meet the structural requirements of multi-camera installation and non-plug-in external camera 100.

[0082] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto.
