Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of camera head housing structure technology, and in particular to a camera head housing structure, a camera head, and a panning camera. Background Technology
[0002] With the widespread adoption of intelligent security equipment, the design of pan-tilt cameras needs to balance flexibility, compact structure, and privacy protection. Most pan-tilt cameras are spherical in shape, primarily consisting of the camera housing and internal structure. Existing camera housing structures fall into two categories: the first involves two hemispherical housings forming a single sphere, which is relatively complex to assemble and costly; the second uses a single hemispherical housing, but when the camera inside is hidden, a single hemispherical housing cannot completely conceal the internal structure, resulting in poor concealment that not only affects the appearance but also fails to prevent foreign objects from entering the camera. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a camera housing structure that offers good concealment and is cost-effective. Summary of the Invention
[0003] This utility model provides a head housing structure, a head unit, and a pan-tilt camera to solve the problems of poor shielding effect and high cost of existing head housing structures.

[0036] This utility model embodiment provides a headstock housing structure 1, referring to... Figures 1-6 The camera housing structure 1 includes a hemispherical housing 11, a through groove 13 on the spherical surface of the hemispherical housing 11, and a shielding part 12 extending from the plane of the hemispherical housing 11 along the spherical surface away from the hemispherical housing 11. The internal space of the hemispherical housing 11 is used to install the internal structure 2 of the camera head, and the camera 22 of the internal structure 2 of the camera head passes through the through groove 13. The hemispherical housing 11 is rotatably installed in the body 3 of the pan-tilt camera around a first direction, so that the camera 22 of the internal structure 2 of the camera head is hidden or exposed through the opening 31 provided on the body 3, so that the shielding part 12 and the hemispherical housing 11 shield the opening 31, or the hemispherical housing 11 shields the opening 31.
[0037] The first direction is the direction of the central axis on the plane of the hemispherical shell 11, which can also be described as the horizontal direction of the body 3, i.e., the horizontal direction of the panning camera.
[0038] As an example, the pan-tilt camera includes a body 3 and a head. The head includes a head housing structure 1 and an internal head structure 2. The head is rotatably mounted inside the body 3 in a first direction and is exposed through a window 31 provided on the body 3. In other words, the head housing structure 1 is rotatably mounted inside the body 3 in a first direction and can rotate with the internal head structure 2 so that the camera 22 inside the internal head structure 2 can be hidden or exposed through the window 31 provided on the body 3, thereby meeting the user's privacy and monitoring needs.
[0039] The camera head housing structure 1 is a component of the camera head of a pan-tilt camera, primarily providing mounting support and protection for the internal structure 2. The camera head housing structure 1 includes a hemispherical housing 11, a through groove 13, and a shielding part 12. The internal space of the hemispherical housing 11 houses the internal structure 2. A through groove 13, communicating with the internal space, is provided on the spherical surface of the hemispherical housing 11. The camera 22 of the internal structure 2 passes through the through groove 13, thus meeting the user's monitoring needs. The shielding part 12 is a component extending from the plane of the hemispherical housing 11 along the spherical surface away from the hemispherical housing 11. The shielding part 12 is an arc-shaped structure adapted to the curvature of the spherical surface of the hemispherical housing 11. The radius of curvature of the shielding part 12 matches the rotation trajectory of the hemispherical housing 11, and its extension direction is consistent with the spherical surface of the hemispherical housing 11. This effectively shields the internal structure 2, preventing its exposure and eliminating the risk of privacy leaks. The outer wall of the shielding part 12 is a smooth arc surface with no protruding mechanical structure, which makes the equipment look neat and avoids installation interference caused by the shielding part 12 occupying extra space. The material of the shielding part 12 has a bending strength of more than 50MPa and can withstand more than 100,000 rotational fatigue tests.
[0040] In this example, the hemispherical housing 11 rotates around the first direction into the body 3 of the pan-tilt camera. As the hemispherical housing 11 rotates, the shielding part 12 rotates accordingly, achieving adaptive adjustment of the shielding range of the head housing structure 1. When the user needs privacy, the hemispherical housing 11 rotates clockwise or counterclockwise around the first direction, hiding the camera 22 of the internal structure 2 of the head inside the body 3. At this time, the shielding part 12 and the hemispherical housing 11 shield the opening 31. When the user needs monitoring, the hemispherical housing 11 rotates counterclockwise or clockwise around the first direction, exposing the camera 22 of the internal structure 2 of the head through the opening 31 provided on the body 3. At this time, the hemispherical housing 11 shields the opening 31. When the hemispherical shell 11 is at any angle, the window 31 is always covered by the hemispherical shell 11 and the shielding part 12, which can effectively shield the internal structure 2 of the machine head, prevent the internal structure 2 of the machine head from being exposed, eliminate the risk of equipment privacy leakage, and improve the privacy shielding and structural concealment of the machine head shell structure 1; at the same time, it can also reduce the direct intrusion of dust into the machine head through physical shielding, and reduce the maintenance frequency.
[0041] The head housing structure 1 in this example is based on the hemispherical housing 11 in the prior art. It only extends the shielding part 12 on one side. Without adding any other parts, the shielding function of the head housing structure 1 can be improved. Moreover, the shielding part 12 is integrally formed with the hemispherical housing 11. It can be injection molded in one piece using the same material (such as ABS or PC), which reduces the cost of component processing and assembly. No additional assembly steps are required. It is also compatible with existing injection molding processes. While improving the shielding effect, it also reduces material costs.
[0042] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 3 and Figure 5 When the hemispherical shell 11 is rotated to hide the camera 22 inside the head structure 2, the length of the shielding part 12 left inside the body 3 is at least 2mm.
[0043] As an example, when the hemispherical housing 11 is rotated to hide the camera 22 inside the head unit 2, the length of the shielding part 12 remaining inside the body 3 is at least 2mm. With this configuration, the shielding part 12 can cover the exposed area of the window 31 corresponding to the maximum rotation angle of the hemispherical housing 11 (the rotation angle is about 55 degrees, at which point the camera 22 is completely hidden inside the body 3). Throughout the full range of rotation of the hemispherical housing 11, the hemispherical housing 11 appears as a complete sphere from the outside, ensuring that there are no blind spots in the shielding and that the internal structure 2 of the head unit is not visible from the outside. This satisfies the user's privacy requirements and protects against the risk of exposure of the internal structure of the device.
[0044] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The head housing structure 1 also includes a support frame 14; the support frame 14 is detachably installed in the through groove 13, and the camera 22 of the internal structure 2 of the head is mounted on the support frame 14.
[0045] As an example, the head housing structure 1 also includes a support frame 14. During installation, the support frame 14 is detachably installed in the through groove 13. Specifically, the inner wall of the through groove 13 is provided with a slot or buckle, and the support frame 14 is provided with a buckle or slot. The buckle engages with the slot to install the support frame 14 in the through groove 13, facilitating the installation and removal of the support frame 14. The camera 22 of the internal structure 2 of the head is mounted on the support frame 14, which provides support for the camera 22, ensuring a more stable installation. A mounting position is provided in the middle of the support frame 14, and a flexible sleeve is installed at the mounting position. The flexible sleeve is fitted onto the camera 22, creating a soft contact between the camera 22 and the support frame 14, providing cushioning protection for the camera 22 and preventing damage.
[0046] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1The head housing structure 1 also includes a reinforcing rib 15 disposed on the inner wall of the shielding part 12, one end of which is connected to the inner wall of the hemispherical housing 11.
[0047] As an example, the head housing structure 1 also includes reinforcing ribs 15. During installation, the reinforcing ribs 15 are placed on the inner wall of the shielding part 12, with one end of the reinforcing rib 15 connected to the inner wall of the hemispherical housing 11. This arrangement strengthens the connection between the shielding part 12 and the hemispherical housing 11, thereby improving the support strength of the shielding part 12. The number of reinforcing ribs 15 is two, and the two reinforcing ribs 15 are arranged at intervals along a first direction, which further improves the support strength of the shielding part 12.
[0048] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 One of the two opposing side walls of the hemispherical shell 11 is provided with a connector 16, and the other is provided with a through hole 17; the connector 16 is rotatably mounted on the first side wall of the body 3; the adjustment component 23 of the internal structure 2 of the machine head passes through the through hole 17 and is connected to the second side wall of the body 3; the adjustment component 23 is used to drive the hemispherical shell 11 to rotate. The first and second side walls of the body 3 are two opposing side walls.
[0049] As an example, an adapter 16 is provided on one of the two oppositely arranged side walls of the hemispherical housing 11, and a through hole 17 is provided on the other. During installation, the adapter 16 is rotatably mounted on the first side wall of the body 3. Specifically, an adapter hole is provided on the first side wall of the body 3, and the adapter 16 passes through the adapter hole. The adjustment component 23 of the internal structure 2 of the camera head passes through the through hole 17 and is connected to the second side wall of the body 3. With this configuration, by controlling the adjustment component 23, the hemispherical housing 11 can be rotated, and the internal structure 2 of the camera head can be rotated accordingly, so that the camera 22 of the internal structure 2 of the camera head can be hidden or exposed through the opening 31 provided on the body 3, thereby meeting the user's privacy and monitoring needs. In addition, a first stop 18 is provided on at least one of the two oppositely arranged side walls of the hemispherical shell 11, and a second stop is provided on at least one of the first side wall and the second side wall of the body 3. The first stop 18 abuts against the second stop, which can stop the head housing structure 1, thereby limiting the rotation stroke of the head.
[0050] This utility model embodiment provides a machine head, see reference Figures 1-6 It includes the internal structure 2 of the head and the housing structure 1 of the head, with the internal structure 2 of the head installed in the internal space of the hemispherical housing 11.
[0051] As an example, the head unit includes an internal structure 2 and a housing structure 1. The housing structure 1 includes a hemispherical housing 11, a through groove 13, and a shielding part 12. The internal structure 2 is installed inside the hemispherical housing 11. A through groove 13 communicating with the internal space is provided on the spherical surface of the hemispherical housing 11. The camera 22 of the internal structure 2 passes through the through groove 13, thus meeting the user's monitoring needs. The shielding part 12 is a component extending from the plane of the hemispherical housing 11 along the spherical surface away from the hemispherical housing 11. The shielding part 12 is an arc-shaped structure adapted to the curvature of the spherical surface of the hemispherical housing 11. The radius of curvature of the shielding part 12 matches the rotation trajectory of the hemispherical housing 11, and the extension direction is consistent with the spherical surface of the hemispherical housing 11. It can effectively shield the internal structure 2 of the head unit, prevent the internal structure 2 of the head unit from being exposed, and eliminate the risk of equipment privacy leakage. The outer wall of the shielding part 12 is a smooth arc surface with no protruding mechanical structure, which makes the equipment look neat and avoids installation interference caused by the shielding part 12 occupying extra space. The material of the shielding part 12 has a bending strength of more than 50MPa and can withstand more than 100,000 rotational fatigue tests.
[0052] In this example, the hemispherical housing 11 rotates around the first direction into the body 3 of the pan-tilt camera. As the hemispherical housing 11 rotates, the shielding part 12 rotates accordingly, achieving adaptive adjustment of the shielding range of the head housing structure 1. When the user needs privacy, the hemispherical housing 11 rotates clockwise or counterclockwise around the first direction, hiding the camera 22 of the internal structure 2 of the head inside the body 3. At this time, the shielding part 12 and the hemispherical housing 11 shield the opening 31. When the user needs monitoring, the hemispherical housing 11 rotates counterclockwise or clockwise around the first direction, exposing the camera 22 of the internal structure 2 of the head through the opening 31 provided on the body 3. At this time, the hemispherical housing 11 shields the opening 31. When the hemispherical shell 11 is at any angle, the window 31 is always covered by the hemispherical shell 11 and the shielding part 12, which can effectively shield the internal structure 2 of the machine head, prevent the internal structure 2 of the machine head from being exposed, eliminate the risk of equipment privacy leakage, and improve the privacy shielding and structural concealment of the machine head shell structure 1.
[0053] The head housing structure 1 in this example is based on the hemispherical housing 11 in the prior art. It only extends the shielding part 12 on one side. Without adding any other parts, the shielding function of the head housing structure 1 can be improved. Moreover, the shielding part 12 is integrally formed with the hemispherical housing 11. It can be injection molded in one piece using the same material (such as ABS or PC), which reduces the cost of component processing and assembly. No additional assembly steps are required. It is also compatible with existing injection molding processes. While improving the shielding effect, it also reduces material costs.
[0054] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5and Figure 6 The internal structure 2 of the head includes a circuit board 21, a camera 22 and an adjustment component 23; a support column 19 is provided on the inner wall of the hemispherical shell 11, and the circuit board 21 is detachably mounted on the support column 19; the fixed end of the camera 22 is mounted on the circuit board 21, and the working end of the camera 22 passes through the through groove 13; the adjustment component 23 is detachably mounted on the inner wall of the hemispherical shell 11.
[0055] As an example, the internal structure 2 of the receiver head includes a circuit board 21, a camera 22, and an adjustment assembly 23. Supports 19 are provided on the inner wall of the hemispherical housing 11. During installation, the circuit board 21 is detachably mounted on the supports 19 using screws, snap-fits, or adhesives, facilitating the installation and removal of the circuit board 21. There are four supports 19 arranged in a ring at intervals within the internal space of the hemispherical housing 11, ensuring a more stable and secure installation of the circuit board 21. The fixed end of the camera 22 is mounted on the circuit board 21, while the working end of the camera 22 passes through the through slot 13, facilitating monitoring operations. The adjustment assembly 23 is detachably mounted on the inner wall of the hemispherical housing 11. By controlling the adjustment assembly 23, the hemispherical housing 11 can be rotated, causing the internal structure 2 of the receiver head to rotate accordingly. This allows the camera 22 within the internal structure 2 to be either hidden or revealed through a window 31 on the housing 3, thus meeting the user's privacy and monitoring needs. The inner wall of the hemispherical shell 11 is also provided with a limiting member 110, which can limit the adjustment component 23 to prevent it from moving; at the same time, it can also provide guidance and limit for the installation of the circuit board 21 to prevent the circuit board 21 from being misaligned.
[0056] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 6 The adjustment assembly 23 includes an adjustment motor 231, a transfer shaft 232, and a fixing member 233. The adjustment motor 231 is detachably installed on the inner wall of the hemispherical shell 11. The transfer shaft 232 passes through the through hole 17 on the hemispherical shell 11. The first end of the transfer shaft 232 is connected to the output end of the adjustment motor 231. The fixing member 233 is fixed on the second side wall of the body 3 and is connected to the second end of the transfer shaft 232.
[0057] As an example, the adjustment assembly 23 includes an adjustment motor 231, an adapter shaft 232, and a fixing member 233. During installation, the adjustment motor 231 is detachably installed on the inner wall of the hemispherical shell 11. Specifically, a first bolt hole is provided on the inner wall of the hemispherical shell 11, and a second bolt hole is provided on the connecting plate of the adjustment motor 231. Bolts are inserted into the first bolt hole and the second bolt hole to fix the adjustment motor 231 to the hemispherical shell 11. The adapter shaft 232 is inserted into the through hole 17 on the hemispherical shell 11. The first end of the adapter shaft 232 is connected to the output end of the adjusting motor 231. The fixing member 233 is fixed on the second side wall of the body 3 and connected to the second end of the adapter shaft 232. With this configuration, the adjusting motor 231 drives the adapter shaft 232 to rotate. Since the adapter shaft 232 is fixed on the second side wall of the body 3 by the fixing member 233, the adjusting motor 231 and the hemispherical shell 11 are rotatable structures. Therefore, the adjusting motor 231 and the hemispherical shell 11 rotate around the adapter shaft 232, and the internal structure 2 of the camera head rotates accordingly. This allows the camera 22 inside the internal structure 2 of the camera head to be hidden or exposed through the opening 31 set on the body 3, thereby meeting the user's privacy and monitoring needs.
[0058] This utility model embodiment provides a pan-tilt camera, see reference. Figures 2-6 It includes a body 3 and a head; the head is rotatably mounted inside the body 3 in a first direction, so that the camera 22 inside the head structure 2 is hidden or exposed through the window 31 set on the body 3.
[0059] As an example, the pan-tilt camera includes a body 3 and a head. During installation, the head is rotatably mounted inside the body 3 in a first direction, so that the camera 22 of the internal structure 2 of the head is hidden or exposed through the opening 31 provided on the body 3. Specifically, the head includes an internal structure 2 and a housing structure 1. The housing structure 1 includes a hemispherical shell 11, a through groove 13, and a shielding part 12. The internal structure 2 is installed in the internal space of the hemispherical shell 11. A through groove 13 communicating with the internal space is provided on the spherical surface of the hemispherical shell 11. The camera 22 of the internal structure 2 passes through the through groove 13, so that the monitoring needs of the user can be met by the camera 22. The shielding part 12 is a component extending from the plane of the hemispherical shell 11 along the spherical surface away from the hemispherical shell 11. The shielding part 12 is an arc-shaped structure adapted to the curvature of the spherical surface of the hemispherical shell 11. The radius of curvature of the shielding part 12 matches the rotation trajectory of the hemispherical shell 11, and the extension direction is consistent with the spherical surface of the hemispherical shell 11. It can effectively shield the internal structure 2 of the machine head, prevent the internal structure 2 of the machine head from being exposed, and eliminate the risk of equipment privacy leakage. The outer wall of the shielding part 12 is a smooth arc surface with no protruding mechanical structure, making the equipment look clean and avoiding installation interference caused by the shielding part 12 occupying extra space. The material of the shielding part 12 has a bending strength greater than 50MPa and can withstand more than 100,000 rotational fatigue tests.
[0060] In this example, the hemispherical housing 11 rotates around the first direction into the body 3 of the pan-tilt camera. As the hemispherical housing 11 rotates, the shielding part 12 rotates accordingly, achieving adaptive adjustment of the shielding range of the head housing structure 1. When the user needs privacy, the hemispherical housing 11 rotates clockwise or counterclockwise around the first direction, hiding the camera 22 of the internal structure 2 of the head inside the body 3. At this time, the shielding part 12 and the hemispherical housing 11 shield the opening 31. When the user needs monitoring, the hemispherical housing 11 rotates counterclockwise or clockwise around the first direction, exposing the camera 22 of the internal structure 2 of the head through the opening 31 provided on the body 3. At this time, the hemispherical housing 11 shields the opening 31. When the hemispherical shell 11 is at any angle, the window 31 is always covered by the hemispherical shell 11 and the shielding part 12, which can effectively shield the internal structure 2 of the machine head, prevent the internal structure 2 of the machine head from being exposed, eliminate the risk of equipment privacy leakage, and improve the privacy shielding and structural concealment of the machine head shell structure 1.
[0061] The head housing structure 1 in this example is based on the hemispherical housing 11 in the prior art. It only extends the shielding part 12 on one side. Without adding any other parts, the shielding function of the head housing structure 1 can be improved. Moreover, the shielding part 12 is integrally formed with the hemispherical housing 11. It can be injection molded in one piece using the same material (such as ABS or PC), which reduces the cost of component processing and assembly. No additional assembly steps are required. It is also compatible with existing injection molding processes. While improving the shielding effect, it also reduces material costs.
[0062] In one example, refer to Figures 2-6 The pan-tilt camera also includes a base 4. During installation, the base 4 serves as the installation reference, and the camera body 3 is rotatably mounted on the base 4 in a second direction. This allows the orientation of the camera head to be adjusted, providing convenience for users to adjust the monitoring position of the pan-tilt camera.
[0063] Among them, the second direction and the first direction are two mutually perpendicular directions. The second direction is the vertical direction of the camera body 3, which can also be said to be the vertical direction of the pan-tilt camera, that is, the height direction of the pan-tilt camera.
[0064] In one example, refer to Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The camera body 3 includes a body bracket 32 and a body housing 33. During installation, the camera head is rotatably mounted on the body bracket 32 in a first direction, and the body housing 33 is fitted onto the body bracket 32. A window 31 is provided on the body housing 33, with the camera head located inside the body housing 33 and exposed through the window 31. This provides protection for the internal structure of the pan-tilt camera through the body housing 33, and also allows the camera 22 inside the camera head to be hidden or exposed through the window 31. The tilt angle of the camera head can be adjusted to meet the user's privacy and monitoring needs. A rotating component 5 is provided inside the body bracket 32, which is rotatably mounted on the base 4 in a second direction. This allows adjustment of the orientation of the camera head, providing convenience for the user to adjust the monitoring position of the pan-tilt camera.
[0065] In one example, refer to Figure 6 The frame support 32 includes a support body 321, a support wall 322, and two support plates 323. The rotating component 5 is detachably installed on the support body 321 by means of screwing, snapping, or bonding. Specifically, the support body 321 is provided with a first bolt hole, and the rotating component 5 is provided with a second bolt hole. Bolts are inserted into the first bolt hole and the second bolt hole to install the rotating component 5 on the support body 321. The bracket support wall 322 is a component extending from the front of the bracket body 321 in a direction perpendicular to the bracket body 321. The two support plates 323 are two components extending from the opposite sides of the bracket support wall 322 in a direction perpendicular to the bracket body 321. During installation, the adapter 16 of the hemispherical shell 11 in the camera head is inserted through one support plate 323, and the adjustment component 23 of the internal structure 2 of the camera head is inserted through the through hole 17 of the hemispherical shell 11 and connected to the other support plate 323. By controlling the adjustment component 23, the hemispherical shell 11 can be rotated, and the internal structure 2 of the camera head can be rotated accordingly, so that the camera 22 of the internal structure 2 of the camera head can be hidden or exposed through the opening 31 set on the body 3, thereby meeting the user's privacy and monitoring needs.
[0066] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 3 and Figure 5 The distance between the outer side of the head housing structure 1 and the inner side of the fuselage 3 is 0.6mm-1mm.
[0067] As an example, the distance between the outer side of the head housing structure 1 and the inner side of the body 3 is 0.6mm-1mm. Specifically, the distance between the hemispherical housing 11 and the shielding part 12 and the body support 32 and the body shell 33 is 0.6mm-1mm. This avoids friction with other shell materials when the head rotates, and can effectively prevent abnormal noise and friction wear.
