Detailed Implementation
[0020] The embodiments of this disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0021] The following specific examples illustrate the implementation of this disclosure. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this disclosure from the content disclosed in this specification. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this disclosure, and not all of them. This disclosure can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and the details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of this disclosure. It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. Based on the embodiments in this disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.
[0022] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This embodiment provides an easy-to-install automotive smart camera, including a first base 1, which is a base fixedly connected to the car and can be installed with the car using fasteners such as bolts or clips. A second base 2 is rotatably connected to the first base 1. In this embodiment, both the first base 1 and the second base 2 are concentric circles, but this is not limited to them and they can also be other shapes or non-concentric. The first base 1 is provided with a first rotation adjustment component, which acts on the second base 2 to adjust the rotation angle of the second base 2, allowing it to rotate freely 360 degrees during the installation of the camera, reducing the installation and adjustment burden of the smart camera 7. The second base 2 is provided with a connecting rod 4, which can be fixedly connected to the second base 2, or it can be a snap-fit or a damped rotational connection. The connecting rod 4 is rotatably connected to a mounting shell 5. Preferably, the connecting rod 4 and the mounting shell 5 have a damped rotational structure. The mounting shell 5 is provided with a mounting cavity 503 for installing the smart camera 7, and the smart camera 7 is detachably installed in the mounting cavity 503. The connecting rod 4 is equipped with a second rotation adjustment component. The second rotation adjustment component acts on the rotation between the connecting rod 4 and the mounting shell 5 to adjust the rotation angle of the mounting shell 5. This allows the smart camera 7 to rotate up and down during installation and adjustment, greatly reducing the installation and adjustment pressure on the staff.
[0023] In one possible embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first rotation adjustment assembly includes a groove 201 surrounding the outer periphery of the second base 2 and an adjustment block 3. The adjustment block 3 is detachably mounted on the first base 1, and has a protrusion 301 that matches the groove 201. During installation, the second base 2 is rotated to find a suitable angle for the smart camera 7, and then the adjustment block 3 is installed. When installing the adjustment block 3, simply align the protrusion 301 on the adjustment block 3 with the groove 201 on the second base 2 and lock it in place to fix the second base 2 without affecting the operation of the smart camera 7. Moreover, there are two adjustment blocks 3, symmetrically arranged on both sides of the second base 2, which can stably fix the post 101 of the second base 2. Because the adjustment block 3 is detachable, the installation angle of the smart camera 7 can be quickly adjusted if needed, greatly improving the convenience of installation.
[0024] Further, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The adjusting block 3 has a through hole 302. The first base 1 has two symmetrical fixing posts 101. The two symmetrical fixing posts 101 form a group. Multiple groups of fixing posts 101 can be set as needed. The top of the fixing post 101 has a protruding limiting block 102. The limiting blocks 102 on a group of fixing posts 101 extend in opposite directions. A shrinkage cavity 103 is provided between two corresponding (group) fixing posts 101. When the operator applies a force to bring the limiting blocks 102 closer together, the space of the shrinkage cavity 103 is sufficient to allow the limiting blocks 102 of the two corresponding fixing posts 101 to pass through the fixing hole 302 after they come close together. When installing the adjusting block 3, first rotate the second base 2 to a suitable angle, then bring the two corresponding limiting blocks 102 closer together and pass them through the fixing hole 302 of the adjusting block 3; when the limiting block 102 passes through the fixing hole 302, the limiting block 102 and the fixing post 101 will return to their original positions when no force is applied, and the bottom of the limiting block 102 will abut against the top of the adjusting block 3, thereby fixing the adjusting block 3 on the first base 1.
[0025] In one possible embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4The mounting shell 5 is equipped with a rotating shaft 501, which rotatably connects the mounting shell 5 to the connecting rod 4. The second rotation adjustment assembly includes a turntable 502 fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 501. The turntable 502 is disposed on the surface of the connecting rod 4, and multiple slots 5021 are evenly distributed on its outer circumference. A rotating shaft protrudes from the surface of the connecting rod 4, and a plate buckle 6 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 4 via the rotating shaft. The plate buckle 6 is provided with inserts that fit into the slots 5021. Preferably, the mounting shell 5 and the connecting rod 4 have a damped rotation structure. During installation and adjustment, the mounting shell 5 can be directly pried open. When the mounting shell 5 rotates, it will drive the turntable 502 to rotate via the rotating shaft 501. When the mounting shell 5 is positioned appropriately, the plate buckle 6 is rotated, causing the inserts on the plate buckle 6 to insert into the slots 5021, thereby locking the turntable 502 and fixing the mounting shell 5 and the smart camera 7 inside. This greatly improves the convenience of the installation and adjustment process.
[0026] Furthermore, a torsion spring 602 is provided between the plate buckle 6 and the connecting rod 4. The torsion spring 602 is located on the pivot of the connecting rod 4, and the torsion spring 602 can ensure that the insert 601 on the plate buckle 6 is always inserted into the slot 5021.
[0027] Furthermore, there are two plate buckles 6, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the turntable 502 to increase the stability of fixing the housing 5 and the camera angle through the turntable 502.
[0028] In one possible embodiment, the connecting rod 4 can be configured as a telescopic rod, which can increase the freedom of movement of the smart camera 7 during installation and adjustment.
[0029] The above description is merely illustrative of the embodiments of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model without creative labor should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
