A ball groove is opened on the front side of the fixed base plate for the ball head to be inserted. The ball head can swing freely in the ball groove. The fixed base plate has mounting holes evenly spaced around the ball groove that correspond one by one with the connecting holes. The adjusting bolt passes through the connecting holes and mounting holes from front to back and is threadedly connected to the adjusting nut.

[0005] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention can be further improved as follows.

[0006] Furthermore, the frame includes a left side plate, a right side plate, and a front guard plate. The two ends of the front guard plate are fixedly connected to the front ends of the left side plate and the right side plate, respectively. The tops of the left side plate and the right side plate are fixedly connected to the camera body via L-shaped connecting plates. The rear parts of the left side plate and the right side plate are fixedly connected to the left and right end faces of the swing base plate via fixing bolts.

They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0024] As shown in Figures 1 to 6, this utility model provides a ball-head type industrial camera angle adjustment bracket, which includes a fixed base plate 1, a swing seat plate 2, and a frame 3. The frame 3 is used to fix the camera body 4. The left and right sides of the frame 3 are fixedly connected to the left and right end faces of the swing seat plate 2 by fixing bolts 5. A central hole is opened at the center of the swing seat plate 2. The swing seat plate 2 is fixedly connected to the ball head 7 behind it by a central bolt 6 passing through the central hole. The swing seat plate 2 has three or more connecting holes 9 evenly spaced around the central hole for adjusting bolts 8 to pass through one by one. A ball groove 10 is opened on the front side of the fixed base plate 1 for the ball head 7 to be inserted. The ball head 7 can swing freely in the ball groove 10. The fixed base plate 1 has mounting holes 11 evenly spaced around the ball groove 10, corresponding one by one to the connecting holes 9. The adjusting bolts 8 pass through the connecting holes 9 and the mounting holes 11 in sequence from front to back and are threadedly connected to the adjusting nuts 12.

[0025] It should be noted that the angle adjustment bracket provided by this utility model is mainly used for fine-tuning the angle of the camera body, including the pitch angle and the left and right horizontal angle; the center bolt at the center hole of the swing seat is connected to the ball head thread. When the center bolt is tightened, the swing seat and the ball head press and lock each other. The ball head with the screw hole can be cut vertically radially first, and then the screw hole that matches the center bolt can be opened radially in the center.

[0026] In one embodiment of this utility model, the frame 3 includes a left side plate, a right side plate, and a front guard plate. The two ends of the front guard plate are fixedly connected to the front ends of the left side plate and the right side plate respectively. The tops of the left side plate and the right side plate are fixedly connected to the camera body 4 through L-shaped connecting plates. The rear parts of the left side plate and the right side plate are fixedly connected to the left and right end faces of the swing seat plate 2 through the fixing bolts 5.

[0027] It should be noted that the frame is mainly used to connect the camera body and the swing plate. The camera body and the frame are detachably connected, and the specific connection method can be to fix it with bolts.

[0028] In one embodiment of the present invention, the front part of the ball head 7 is provided with a threaded hole for threaded connection with the rear end of the center bolt 6.

[0029] It should be noted that the ball head body is made of high-quality raw materials, such as bakelite, which is sturdy and durable, and the rear end opening is equipped with pure copper threads.

[0030] In one embodiment of this utility model, the front end of the connecting hole 9 is provided with a recess for the hexagonal head of the adjusting bolt 8 to be engaged and limited.

[0031] It is understandable that the adjusting bolt does not necessarily have to use its hexagonal head to engage with the countersunk groove to achieve the limiting position. It can also be clamped and fixed to the swing seat plate by tightening the clamping nut from the rear. Alternatively, the adjusting bolt can be directly connected to the swing seat by gluing or welding. In this embodiment, the countersunk groove and hexagonal head engagement method is used, which is beneficial for the separate setting of the adjusting bolt and the swing seat plate, so that it can be replaced after damage.

[0032] In one embodiment of this utility model, the diameter of the mounting hole 11 is 3-6 mm larger than the outer diameter of the adjusting bolt 8.

[0033] It should be noted that the diameter of the mounting hole is set to be significantly larger than that of the adjusting bolt in order to allow for adjustment clearance. The larger the clearance, the greater the adjustable swing amplitude of the swing seat.

[0034] In one embodiment of this utility model, the adjusting nut 12 is a hand-tightening nut, and there are four connecting holes 9 in total, with adjacent connecting holes 9 distributed at 90-degree intervals in the circumferential direction of the ball groove 10.

[0035] It should be noted that M6X50 hexagonal screws (adjusting bolts) can be inserted into the four connecting holes. After passing the adjusting bolts through the swing base plate and the fixed base plate, tighten the nuts by hand (for easy manual adjustment without the need for wrenches or other tools). Adjust the camera's tilt angle by adjusting the up and down adjusting nuts, and adjust the horizontal direction by adjusting the left and right adjusting nuts. Using the ball head provides a support point at the center, and the ball is evenly stressed, making the swing adjustment smoother.

[0036] In one embodiment of this utility model, the hand-tightening nut is a wing nut, and the rear end of the adjusting nut 12 is fitted with a plurality of washers 13 between the wing nut and the fixed base plate 1.

[0037] It should be noted that wing nuts are easier to apply force when adjusted by hand, and the washers can increase friction to prevent them from slipping after tightening and to prevent the base plate from being damaged by excessive local pressure around the mounting holes.

[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. 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.
