[0002] A camera, also known as a computer camera, computer eye, or electronic eye, is a video input device widely used in video conferencing, telemedicine, and real-time monitoring. A vehicle camera is a camera used in automobiles that can display video and audio in real time, providing a more scientific basis for handling and locating traffic accidents, thus fully protecting our property and personal safety, and has gained widespread recognition.

[0003] When installing a vehicle-mounted camera, it is necessary to connect it to the mounting bracket using bolts through the mounting holes on the top of the camera. Over time, internal components of the vehicle-mounted camera may malfunction, requiring users to locate and maintain the camera. In this case, the camera is only connected to the mounting bracket by bolts, and users must unscrew multiple sets of bolts one by one, which is inconvenient, time-consuming, and labor-intensive, reducing work efficiency. Therefore, a vehicle-mounted camera that is easy to install is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0031] Reference Figures 1-2 The present invention provides an embodiment of a vehicle-mounted camera that is easy to install, comprising a frame 1 and a camera housing 2. The frame 1 serves as a support structure for the main body of the camera and houses the camera housing 2 and an adjustment mechanism 10. The camera angle can be adjusted in multiple directions through the adjustment mechanism 10 at the top. The camera housing 2 is located inside the frame 1 and protects the internal camera components from damage caused by the external environment. The top of the frame 1 is provided with the adjustment mechanism 10, and the inside of the camera housing 2 is provided with an installation mechanism 11.

[0032] Reference Figures 1-3The mounting mechanism 11 includes a control rod 111, which is slidably connected inside the camera housing 2. The control rod 111 slides left and right. A control button 116 is fixedly connected to the right side of the control rod 111 to facilitate the operator to apply force. The surface of the control button 116 is provided with anti-slip texture. A pull rope 112 is fixedly connected to the left side of the control rod 111. The pull rope 112 is not elastic. A limit rod 113 is fixedly connected to the end of the pull rope 112 away from the control rod 111. Through the connection between the control rod 111 and the pull rope 112, the operating force is transmitted to the limit rod 113 to realize the movement and fixation of the limit rod 113.

[0033] Reference Figures 2-4 The limiting rod 113 is slidably connected inside the camera housing 2. The limiting rod 113 is elastically connected to the inner wall of the camera housing 2 through the return spring 114. The return spring 114 applies an elastic force to the limiting rod 113 away from the center of the camera housing 2. The frame 1 is provided with a limiting groove 115 inside. The outer wall of the limiting rod 113 contacts the inner wall of the limiting groove 115. The limiting rod 113 is moved by pulling the pull rope 112 through the control rod 111. The elasticity of the return spring 114 causes the limiting rod 113 to be engaged or disengaged from the limiting groove 115, thereby realizing the quick fixing or disassembly of the camera housing 2 and the frame 1.

[0034] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 The adjustment mechanism 10 includes a spherical shell 101 and a spherical column 103. The outer wall of the spherical column 103 fits against the inner wall of the spherical shell 101. The spherical shell 101 and the spherical column 103 cooperate to allow the spherical column 103 to rotate and tilt within a certain range, thereby realizing the adjustment of the angle of the camera housing 2. The spherical column 103 is fixedly connected to the top of the frame 1. The adjustment mechanism 10 also includes a threaded column 105, which is fixedly connected to the top of the spherical shell 101. A connecting bracket 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the threaded column 105.

[0035] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5The adjustment mechanism 10 also includes a threaded sleeve 104, which is threadedly connected to the surface of the threaded post 105. The bottom of the threaded sleeve 104 is provided with an inclined surface 106. The bottom of the threaded sleeve 104 contacts the top of the spherical shell 101. By rotating the threaded sleeve 104, its position on the threaded post 105 can be changed. The bottom inclined surface 106 contacts the top of the spherical shell 101, thereby applying pressure to the spherical shell 101 to lock and fine-tune the angle of the camera housing 2. The surface of the spherical shell 101 is provided with an opening 102. The spherical shell 101 is made of a plastic material with a certain degree of elasticity. The end of the connecting bracket 3 away from the threaded post 105 is fixedly connected to a fixing plate 19. The connecting bracket 3 is arc-shaped. The side of the fixing plate 19 away from the connecting bracket 3 is provided with an adhesive area 20. The adhesive area 20 facilitates the use of adhesive or double-sided tape to firmly stick the fixing plate 19 to the installation position inside the car.

[0036] Working principle: In use, the operator first pulls the control button 116, which moves the control lever 111 to the right. The movement of the control lever 111 is transmitted to the limit lever 113 through the pull rope 112, which overcomes the elastic force of the return spring 114, causing the limit lever 113 to move to the right and disengage from the limit groove 115. At this time, the camera housing 2 can be slid along the inside of the frame 1 to remove the camera housing 2 from the frame 1. During installation, the camera housing 2 is slid into the frame 1 and adjusted to a suitable position. Then, the control button 116 is released. Under the action of the return spring 114, the limit lever 113 moves to the left and re-embeds into the limit groove 115, thus quickly fixing the camera housing 2 on the frame 1. The camera housing 2 can be quickly installed on or removed from the frame 1 through the installation mechanism 11.

[0037] By rotating the threaded sleeve 104, due to the threaded connection, the threaded sleeve 104 moves upward outside the threaded column 105, and the inclined surface 106 at its bottom disengages from the top of the spherical shell 101. As the threaded sleeve 104 rotates and moves, the spherical shell 101 is no longer compressed by the threaded sleeve 104, thus allowing the spherical column 103 to rotate and tilt inside the spherical shell 101, thereby changing the angle between the frame 1 and the camera housing 2, and realizing the adjustment of the camera shooting angle. When the appropriate angle is adjusted, by rotating the threaded sleeve 104 in the opposite direction, the threaded sleeve 104 moves downward and squeezes the spherical shell 101 to produce deformation, increasing the friction between the spherical shell 101 and the spherical column 103, thereby fixing the camera at the required angle position. The adjustment mechanism 10 allows users to flexibly adjust the shooting angle of the camera according to actual needs, ensuring that the camera can better capture the required images, and improving the convenience and flexibility of the vehicle camera.

[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
