Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to, but is not limited to, the field of camera equipment technology, and particularly to a driving device and a camera device. Background Technology

[0002] To cover a wider field of view, known camera devices typically have multiple degrees of freedom. For example, multiple motors can be linked together to drive the camera at multiple angles, thereby increasing the field of view that the camera device can cover.

[0003] For example, in known camera devices, there exist models where a motor (e.g., a swing motor) drives a mounting bracket with a camera to swing, while another motor carries the swing motor and drives it to rotate, thus achieving motor linkage and driving the camera. In such devices, one end of the mounting bracket is connected to the swing motor, while the other end (the distal end) is cantilevered. Due to a transmission gap in the transmission mechanism between the swing motor and the mounting bracket, after the swing motor stops, the cantilevered mounting bracket does not immediately stop at a preset position but may continue to swing or sway slightly within the range of the transmission gap. This may lead to inaccurate position control of the camera mounted on the cantilevered end of the mounting bracket, or it may cause the camera to shake, preventing high-definition recording. Utility Model Content

[0034] Reference Figures 1 to 10 and mainly refer to Figures 1 to 4The camera device 100, used for monitoring pet behavior, is typically mounted in a suspended manner, such as on a wall or in a pet house. Specifically, this camera device 100 generally includes a base 101, a receiving portion 102 mounted on the base 101, and an actuator 103 extending from the receiving portion 102, including a camera 103a. Furthermore, the receiving portion 102 houses a rotary motor 202 for rotating the actuator 103 and a swing motor 203 for oscillating the actuator 103. The actuator 103 is mounted to the end portion 250c of a mounting bracket 250 and connected to the swing motor 203 via the mounting bracket 250 and a transmission mechanism (sometimes referred to as a second transmission portion 246 for ease of explanation). The camera device 100 is mounted on the wall or in the pet house in a generally tilted position via the base 101. In this state, the actuator 103 is suspended laterally. Due to the weight of the mounting bracket 250 and the actuator 103, and given the unavoidable transmission gap in the second transmission unit 246, the mounting bracket 250 and the actuator 103 do not stop immediately after the swing motor 203 stops. Instead, they continue to swing or sway slightly downwards until the various transmission components of the second transmission unit 246 (such as the third transmission member 248 and the fourth transmission member 249, which are gear components described later) come into contact with each other. In this situation, the position control of the camera 103a may be inaccurate; that is, the camera 103a may swing slightly downwards compared to the preset position (the position where the camera 103a is expected to stop immediately when the swing motor 203 stops driving).

[0035] The swing device described in the embodiment can be applied to the camera device 100 as an example of use. That is, the swing device, which is the swing part 200b of the camera device 100, can keep its end part 250c more stably in a preset position. More specifically, the swing device can realize that the actuator 103 stops immediately when the swing motor 203 stops driving, so that the stopping position of the swing motor 203 is the stopping position of the actuator 103.

[0036] Continue to refer to Figures 8 to 10Specifically, the swinging device includes: a mounting base 233, a mounting bracket 250, a swing motor 203, and a damping mechanism 300. The mounting base 233 has a first mounting base 233a and a support portion 233b disposed on the first mounting base 233a. The mounting bracket 250 has a second mounting base 250a, a supported portion 250b disposed on the second mounting base 250a, and an end portion 250c disposed on the second mounting base 250a for mounting the actuator 103. The mounting bracket 250 is swing-mounted to the mounting base 233 in such a way that the supported portion 250b rotates coaxially about the support portion 233b. The swing motor 203 and the mounting bracket 250 are connected via a second transmission portion 246, which serves as a transmission mechanism, and drive the mounting bracket 250 to swing relative to the mounting base 233. The damping mechanism 300 is disposed between the mounting base 233 and the mounting bracket 250 and applies force to the mounting base 233 and the mounting bracket 250 respectively, so that when the swing motor 203 stops, the mounting bracket 250 stops relative to the mounting base 233 at a preset position.

[0037] The swing device of this embodiment enables the end portion 250c of the mounting bracket 250 to be held more stably in a preset position. Specifically, by providing a damping mechanism 300 between the mounting base 233 and the mounting bracket 250, which applies forces to both the mounting base 233 and the mounting bracket 250, the friction between the mounting base 233 and the mounting bracket 250 is increased. Without the driving force of the swing motor 203, the mounting bracket 250 and the mounting base 233 remain stationary due to friction. Therefore, when the swing motor 203 stops, the mounting bracket 250 is stably held in place by the mounting base 233 due to the friction provided by the damping mechanism 300 between it and the mounting base 233 (i.e., there is no relative movement between the mounting bracket 250 and the mounting base 233).

[0038] Furthermore, the magnitude of the frictional force generated by the damping mechanism 300 does not require special calculation; it can be determined, for example, through limited experiments, thus facilitating implementation.

[0039] Continue to refer to Figures 1 to 5In the following description, for convenience, an imaging device 100 capable of both rotational and swinging motions will be used as an example, with the swinging device mentioned separately when necessary. The imaging device 100 includes a rotating section 200a for rotating an actuator 103 and a swinging section 200b (one embodiment of the swinging device) for swinging the actuator 103. The rotating section 200a has a base 201 and a rotating motor 202. The base 201 is rotatably held within the imaging device 100, and the rotating motor 202 is disposed on a first side 201a of the base 201 such that it rotates the base 201 in a driven state. The swinging motor 203 of the swinging section 200b is also disposed on the first side 201a of the base 201 and offset relative to the rotating motor 202. The rotating motor 202 and the swinging motor 203 are laid flat on the first side 201a of the base 201, offset from each other. The swing motor 203 and the rotary motor 202 are respectively disposed on both radial sides of the support portion 233b of the mounting base 233 (i.e., on both sides of the swing center 247 of the swing portion 200b, for auxiliary reference). Figure 6 In addition, the swing motor 203 and the rotary motor 202 are respectively disposed on both sides of the rotation center 201c of the base 201 (auxiliary reference). Figure 6 The actuator 103 is mounted to the swing unit 200b and is driven by the swing motor 203 of the swing unit 200b to swing relative to the base 201 and the mounting base 233. As an example, the actuator 103 may include the camera 103a of the camera device 100.

[0040] Continue to refer to Figures 1 to 3The camera device 100 also includes a base 101 and a receiving portion 102 mounted on the base 101. The base 101 can be fixed to various locations such as a wall or a pet house panel. The method of fixing the base 101 is not particularly limited; for example, it can be installed on a wall or panel by various methods such as threaded connection, adhesive tape, snap-fit, or magnetic attraction. The receiving portion 102 includes a first housing 104 and a second housing 105 that cover each other, and the receiving portion 102 is fixed to the base 101 by the first housing 104. Similarly, the method of fixing the first housing 104 is not particularly limited; for example, it can be fixed to the base 101 by various methods such as threaded connection, adhesive tape, snap-fit, or magnetic attraction. The rotating portion 200a is fixed to the first housing 104 in such a way that the base 201 can rotate relative to the first housing 104. The second housing 105 is mounted to the base 201 to cover the rotating part 200a and the swinging part 200b, and rotates relative to the first housing 104 as the base 201 rotates. The method of mounting the second housing 105 to the base 201 is not particularly limited; for example, it can be mounted to the base 201 by various methods such as threaded connection, adhesive tape bonding, snap-fit, or magnetic adsorption. The second housing 105 and the first housing 104 are coaxially fitted together; in other words, during rotation, the second housing 105 rotates around the axial centerline of the first housing 104. A clearance groove 113 is formed on the side of the second housing 105 opposite to the first housing 104, extending from the top 111 of the second housing 105 to both sides. The clearance groove 113 is used to avoid the end portion 250c of the mounting bracket 250 of the swinging part 200b. The length of the clearance groove 113 is not particularly limited, as long as it is within the range that does not restrict the swing angle of the end portion 250c of the mounting bracket 250.

[0041] Therefore, when the camera 103a included in the actuator 103 is working, there are two actions when observing the camera device 100 from the outside: the second housing 105 rotates around the center of the first housing 104, and the end portion 250c of the mounting bracket 250 on which the actuator 103 is mounted swings within the clearance groove 113. Through these two actions, the camera device 100 can cover a larger imaging range.

[0042] The rotating part 200a of the camera device 100 will be described in more detail below.

[0043] Continue to refer to Figures 4 to 7The base 201 of the rotating part 200a is generally circular in shape. The base 201 is mounted approximately coaxially to the first housing 104 and rotates relative to the first housing 104 with the center of rotation 201c as its rotation center. A first side 201a of the base 201, which houses the rotary motor 202 and the oscillating motor 203, is positioned on one side in the thickness direction and faces the second housing 105. Furthermore, the base 201 has a second side 201b facing the first housing 104. A first mounting portion 205, coaxial with the rotation center 201c, is formed in the middle of the base 201. The first mounting portion 205 is circular in shape and extends axially from the first side 201a of the base 201 toward the second side 201b. A slewing bearing 206 is embedded in the first mounting portion 205, and the base 201 is rotatably mounted to the first housing 104 via the slewing bearing 206. The slewing bearing 206 supports the rotation of the first mounting portion 205 and suppresses wear on the first mounting portion 205. The type of slewing bearing 206 is not particularly limited; for example, it can be a ring-shaped component made of copper alloy, stainless steel, wear-resistant resin material, etc.; in addition, it can be a commercially available component with an outer ring, balls, and an inner ring, such as a deep groove ball bearing.

[0044] Since the rotary motor 202 and the swing motor 203 are directly disposed on the first side 201a of the base 201 in a flat and staggered manner, the overall height of the camera device 100 can be reduced, and the size of the base 201 can be appropriately increased. With the overall width of the camera device 100 increasing and its height decreasing, in addition to reducing the overall height of the camera device 100, the overall center of gravity of the camera device 100 also decreases further.

[0045] The rotating part 200a includes a first transmission part 222, through which the rotary motor 202 causes the base 201 to rotate around the axis of the first mounting part 205, i.e., the rotation center 201c. The first transmission part 222 is located on the second side 201b of the base 201, more specifically, in the space between the second side 201b of the base 201 and the first housing 104. One end of the first transmission part 222 is fixed and coaxial with the first mounting part 205, and the other end is coaxially connected to the rotary motor 202. Through this first transmission part 222, when the rotary motor 202 is driven, the rotary motor 202 rotates around the fixed end of the first transmission part 222, and at the same time, the base 201, which is fixed to the rotary motor 202, also rotates around the first transmission part 222. Furthermore, the rotary motor 202 is positioned on one radial side of the first mounting portion 205 of the base 201 via the first transmission portion 222.

[0046] The first transmission unit 222 includes a first transmission member 223 and a second transmission member 232, which can be gear components. The first transmission member 223 is fixed and coaxial with the first mounting portion 205. The base 201 is rotatably held in the first transmission member 223 via the first mounting portion 205 and via a slewing bearing 206. The second transmission member 232 is coaxially mounted to the rotary motor 202 on the second side portion 201b and is drively connected to the first transmission member 223. When mounted to the rotary motor 202, the second transmission member 232 and the first transmission member 223 engage with each other like gears.

[0047] The swing section 200b of the camera device 100 will be described in more detail below.

[0048] Continue to refer to Figures 8 to 10 and supplementary reference Figure 6 The swinging part 200b is disposed on the first side 201a of the base 201 in such a way that the swinging motor 203 is laid flat and offset relative to the rotary motor 202. Specifically, the mounting base 233 of the swinging device is mounted on the base 201, and the swinging motor 203 is mounted on the mounting base 233. In the installed state, the output shaft of the swinging motor 203 is orthogonal to the rotation center 201c of the base 201.

[0049] As described above, the mounting base 233 has a first mounting base 233a and a support portion 233b. The first mounting base 233a is mounted to the base 201 as the main body, while the support portion 233b is mainly used to support the mounting bracket 250. The first mounting base 233a of the mounting base 233 includes a first mounting wall 235, a second mounting wall 236, and a connecting wall 237 that are spaced apart and opposite to each other. The first mounting wall 235, the second mounting wall 236, and the connecting wall 237 are integrally formed and together define a space for accommodating the swing motor 203 and the rotary motor 202. When the swing motor 203 is mounted on the mounting base 233, the first mounting wall 235 is located on one side of the output shaft of the swing motor 203, and the second mounting wall 236 is located on the side of the swing motor 203 opposite to the output shaft.

[0050] A support portion 233b is disposed on a first mounting base 233a. The support portion 233b includes a first support shaft 238 and a second support shaft 239. The first support shaft 238 and the first mounting base 233a are integrally formed on one side of the first mounting base 233a. More specifically, the first support shaft 238 is formed on the outer side of the first mounting wall 235, and extends outward from the mounting base 233 along the direction in which the first mounting wall 235 and the second mounting wall 236 are opposite to each other. The manner in which the first support shaft 238 and the first mounting wall 235 are integrally formed is not particularly limited; for example, the first support shaft 238 and the first mounting wall 235 can be integrally formed by injection molding, insert molding, or other methods. An axially extending threaded hole (not marked in the drawings) is formed at the end of the first support shaft 238 for axially locking the first swing bearing 260 and the mounting bracket 250 mounted on the first support shaft 238. The second support shaft 239 and the first mounting base 233a are integrally formed on the other side of the first mounting base 233a. More specifically, the second support shaft 239 is formed on the outer side of the second mounting wall 236, and the second support shaft 239 and the first support shaft 238 are coaxial and extend outward toward the mounting base 233. The manner in which the second support shaft 239 and the second mounting wall 236 are integrally formed is not particularly limited; for example, the second support shaft 239 and the second mounting wall 236 can be integrally formed by various methods such as injection molding or insert molding. The end of the second support shaft 239 has an axially extending threaded hole (not marked in the drawing), which is used for axially locking the second swing bearing 261 and the mounting bracket 250 of the second support shaft 239. Furthermore, when the mounting base 233 is installed on the base 201, the axes of the first support shaft 238 and the second support shaft 239 (i.e., the rotation center of the supported part 250b of the mounting bracket 250 relative to the support part 233b, and also the swing center 247 of the swing part 200b) are orthogonal to the rotation center 201c of the base 201 and pass through the rotation center 201c of the base 201.

[0051] As described above, the mounting bracket 250 has a second mounting base 250a, a supported portion 250b, and an end portion 250c. The mounting bracket 250 can be made from a material that combines rigidity and elasticity. These materials are not particularly limited, but examples include: plastic materials such as polycarbonate (PC), polyamide (nylon, PA), polyoxymethylene (POM), polypropylene (PP), ABS (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer), polyetheretherketone (PEEK), thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), and glass fiber (GF); and metallic materials such as stainless steel; etc. Furthermore, these materials can be used alone or in combination. For example, glass fiber (GF) can be added to polycarbonate (PC) to further improve the strength and rigidity of the mounting bracket 250 as mechanical properties.

[0052] The second mounting base 250a includes an integrally formed first arm 251, a second arm 252, and a connecting arm 253 connecting the first arm 251 and the second arm 252. The second mounting base 250a is generally U-shaped. The mounting bracket 250 is mounted to the mounting base 233 from the outside of the mounting base 233. With the mounting bracket 250 mounted to the mounting base 233, the first arm 251 and the second arm 252 of the second mounting base 250a are located on the outside of the first mounting base 233a along the axial direction of the support portion 233b (which can also be generally regarded as the direction in which the first mounting wall 235 and the second mounting wall 236 are opposite to each other), and the connecting arm 253 spans the first mounting base 233a along the axial direction of the support portion 233b. With the mounting bracket 250 installed on the mounting base 233, the first arm 251 and the first mounting wall 235 are opposite each other, the second arm 252 and the second mounting wall 236 are opposite each other, and the connecting arm 253 and the connecting wall 237 are opposite each other.

[0053] The supported portion 250b of the mounting bracket 250 is formed at one end (cantilever end) of the first arm portion 251 and the second arm portion 252. The supported portion 250b includes a first hole portion 262 and a second hole portion 263. The first hole portion 262 is formed at the cantilever end of the first arm portion 251, and the first arm portion 251 is rotatably mounted on the first support shaft 238 through the first hole portion 262. The second hole portion 263 is formed at the cantilever end of the second arm portion 252, and the second arm portion 252 is rotatably mounted on the second support shaft 239 through the second hole portion 263.

[0054] The end portion 250c of the mounting bracket 250 is formed at approximately the middle position along the length of the connecting arm 253, and the end portion 250c extends in the direction opposite to that of the first arm portion 251 and the second arm portion 252. Various known mounting structures for mounting the mounting box 254 of the actuator 103 can be formed on the end face of the end portion 250c, for example.

[0055] The mounting bracket 250 is oscillatingly mounted to the mounting base 233 such that the first hole 262 and the second hole 263 of the supported portion 250b rotate around the first support shaft 238 and the second support shaft 239 of the support portion 233b of the mounting base 233. Furthermore, a first oscillating bearing 260 is fitted between the first hole 262 and the first support shaft 238, and a second oscillating bearing 261 is fitted between the second hole 263 and the second support shaft 239. The type of oscillating bearing is not particularly limited; for example, it can be a ring-shaped component made of copper alloy, stainless steel, wear-resistant resin material, etc.; or it can be a commercially available component with an outer ring, balls, and an inner ring, such as a deep groove ball bearing.

[0056] With the first swing bearing 260 fitted between the first hole 262 and the first support shaft 238, it is locked to a threaded hole (not marked) formed in the first support shaft 238 by a screw. The screw and the limiting surface (not marked) on the first support shaft 238 used to restrict the first swing bearing 260 together fix the first swing bearing 260 axially. Similarly, with the second swing bearing 261 fitted between the second hole 263 and the second support shaft 239, it is locked to a threaded hole (not marked) formed in the second support shaft 239 by a screw. The screw and the limiting surface (not marked) on the second support shaft 239 used to restrict the second swing bearing 261 together fix the second swing bearing 261 axially. Furthermore, the first swing bearing 260 and the second swing bearing 261 together axially restrict the mounting bracket 250. Thus, when the mounting bracket 250 is mounted to the mounting base 233 via the first swing bearing 260 and the second swing bearing 261, the first arm 251 and the second arm 252 are respectively fixed axially relative to the first mounting base 233a, and the mounting bracket 250 swings freely relative to the mounting base 233 via the first swing bearing 260 and the second swing bearing 261.

[0057] The oscillating motor 203 is mounted on the mounting base 233. More specifically, the oscillating motor 203 is mounted on the first mounting wall 235. The oscillating motor 203 is arranged side-by-side with the rotary motor 202 on the radial side of the first mounting portion 205 formed in the middle of the base 201, with its output shaft and rotation center 201c offset. In other words, with the mounting base 233 mounted on the base 201, the output shaft of the oscillating motor 203 mounted on the mounting base 233 is offset relative to the rotation center 201c of the base 201 (see auxiliary reference). Figure 6 ).

[0058] Continue to refer to Figure 8 and supplementary reference Figures 4 to 6 The swing section 200b also includes a second transmission section 246 (i.e., a transmission mechanism) located on the first side section 201a, which is mounted to the mounting base 233. More specifically, the second transmission section 246 is mounted to the first mounting wall 235 of the first mounting base 233a of the mounting base 233. The second transmission section 246 drives the swing motor 203 and the mounting bracket 250 such that the swing center 247 of the mounting bracket 250 is orthogonal to the rotation center 201c of the base 201, and the swing center 247 of the mounting bracket 250 passes through the rotation center 201c of the base 201. Furthermore, the second transmission section 246 positions the swing motor 203 on one radial side of the support section 233b of the mounting base 233, and further on the other radial side of the first mounting section 205 of the base 201, opposite to the rotary motor 202 across the first mounting section 205. Furthermore, the reduction ratio of the second transmission unit 246 (transmission mechanism) is greater than 1 and less than 3. In other words, the swing speed of the mounting bracket 250 is less than the output speed of the swing motor 203.

[0059] The second transmission unit 246 includes a third transmission member 248 and a fourth transmission member 249, which may be gear components. The third transmission member 248 is coaxially fixed to the output shaft of the oscillating motor 203. Specifically, with the oscillating motor 203 mounted on the mounting base 233 and the output shaft of the oscillating motor 203 extending outside the first mounting wall 235 of the mounting base 233, the third transmission member 248 is mounted to the output shaft of the oscillating motor 203 from outside the first mounting wall 235 of the mounting base 233. The fourth transmission member 249 is coaxially fixed to the mounting bracket 250 along the oscillation center 247 of the mounting bracket 250. For example, the fourth transmission member 249 is fixed to the cantilever end of the first arm 251 of the mounting bracket 250 by screws. The fourth transmission member 249 is located between the first arm 251 of the mounting bracket 250 and the first mounting wall 235 of the mounting base 233, along the axial direction of the first support shaft 238.

[0060] Therefore, when the swing motor 203 is driven, the output force of the swing motor 203 is transmitted to the mounting bracket 250 via the third transmission member 248 and the fourth transmission member 249, thereby causing the mounting bracket 250 to swing relative to the mounting base 233, and thus driving the actuator 103 mounted on the mounting bracket 250.

[0061] Due to the transmission clearance between the third transmission member 248 and the fourth transmission member 249 of the second transmission unit 246, i.e., the transmission clearance between the gear components, the mounting bracket 250 does not stop immediately when the swing motor 203 stops, but continues to swing at a small angle due to gravity. Therefore, as described above, the swing unit 200b also includes a damping mechanism 300. The damping mechanism 300 is disposed between the mounting base 233 and the mounting bracket 250 and applies force to both the mounting base 233 and the mounting bracket 250 respectively, so that when the swing motor 203 stops, the mounting bracket 250 stops relative to the mounting base 233 at a preset position. Through this damping mechanism 300, without the driving force of the swing motor 203, the mounting bracket 250 and the mounting base 233 remain stationary due to friction.

[0062] Continue to refer to Figure 9 as well as Figure 10 The following is a detailed description of the damping mechanism 300.

[0063] In some embodiments, the damping mechanism 300 is clamped between the mounting base 233 and the mounting bracket 250 in such a way that it applies force to the mounting base 233 and the mounting bracket 250 respectively in the direction of the rotation center (i.e., the swing center 247) of the supported portion 250b relative to the support portion 233b. The damping mechanism 300 may include a pad member 301, which may be clamped between the first arm portion 251 and the first mounting wall 235 of the first mounting base 233a along the axial direction of the first support shaft 238 (which is also the direction of the swing center 247), or the pad member 301 may be clamped between the second arm portion 252 and the second mounting wall 236 of the first mounting base 233a along the axial direction of the second support shaft 239 (which is also the direction of the swing center 247). It should be noted that multiple pad members 301 may be included and installed in multiple positions, for example, one of which is clamped between the first arm portion 251 and the first mounting wall 235, and another is clamped between the second arm portion 252 and the second mounting wall 236.

[0064] The configuration of the pad member 301 is not particularly limited as long as it can be sandwiched between the mounting base 233 and the mounting bracket 250. For example, the pad member 301 can be a separate component installed between the mounting base 233 and the mounting bracket 250; or, the pad member 301 can be an integral component formed with the mounting bracket 250 by, for example, insert molding; or, the pad member 301 can be an integral component formed with the mounting base 233 by, for example, insert molding.

[0065] The pad member 301 can be an elastic element, and the material forming the pad member 301 is not particularly limited. Examples include: rubbers such as natural rubber (NR), nitrile rubber (NBR), silicone rubber (VMQ), fluororubber (FKM), and ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM); polyurethane (PU); thermoplastic elastomers (TPE); and metals such as stainless steel and Q235A. When an elastic material such as rubber is selected as the pad member 301, the pad member 301 can be processed into a flat pad in the shape of a ring. When a rigid material such as a metal is selected as the pad member 301, the pad member 301 can be processed into a spring pad with an opening, or the pad member 301 can also be a compression type coil spring.

[0066] Furthermore, when an elastic material such as rubber is selected as the pad member 301, in order to allow the pad member 301 to be sufficiently compressed, the pad member 301 has a contact portion 302 and an abutment portion 303. The contact portion 302 is formed on one side of the pad member 301 and is planar. The abutment portion 303 is formed on the side of the pad member 301 opposite to the contact portion 302. The abutment portion 303 is formed to protrude along the axial direction of the pad member 301, surrounding the entire pad member 301. Additionally, an overflow space 304 is formed on one side of the abutment portion 303. The overflow space 304 is formed, for example, by making the radial length of the cross-section of the abutment portion 303 smaller than the difference between the outer diameter and the inner diameter of the pad member 301.

[0067] The following description uses an example where the pad member 301 is clamped between the second arm portion 252 and the second mounting wall 236 of the first mounting base portion 233a in a compressed state.

[0068] The pad member 301 is clamped in a compressed state between the second arm 252 and the second mounting wall 236 of the first mounting base 233a. The pad member 301 is made of natural rubber and is formed into a ring shape, which is fitted onto the second support shaft 239 located on the second mounting wall 236. When the second arm 252 of the mounting bracket 250 is axially mounted to the second support shaft 239 by screws, the second arm 252 and the second mounting wall 236 compress the pad member 301 axially. Because the pad member 301 is compressed, it also exerts an axial reaction force on the second arm 252 and the second mounting wall 236, thereby increasing the friction between the pad member 301 and the second arm 252, and also increasing the friction between the pad member 301 and the second mounting wall 236. Therefore, when the frictional forces are greater than or equal to the downward force acting on the mounting bracket 250 and the actuator 103 mounted on the end portion 250c of the mounting bracket 250 as a whole, the mounting bracket 250 is stably held relative to the mounting base 233 when the swing motor 203 does not output force on the mounting bracket 250.

[0069] With the pad member 301 sandwiched between the second arm portion 252 and the first mounting base 233a, the fitting portion 302 fits against one of the second arm portion 252 and the first mounting base 233a, while the abutting portion 303 abuts against the other of the second arm portion 252 and the second mounting base 250a and is compressed, overflowing into the overflow space 304. For example, the fitting portion 302 of the pad member 301 abuts against the second mounting wall 236, while the abutting portion 303 of the pad member 301 is opposite to the second arm portion 252. When the mounting bracket 250 is installed onto the mounting base 233, the second arm portion 252, along the axial direction of the second support shaft 239, faces the second mounting wall 236, abutting against and compressing the abutting portion 303. After being compressed, the abutting portion 303 remains in contact with the second arm portion 252 while overflowing into the overflow space 304. Thus, while fully compressing the pad member 301, the contact area between the pad member 301 and the second arm portion 252 is increased. It should be noted that when the pad member 301 is made of an elastic material such as rubber, the contact portion 302 is actually compressed together with the abutment portion 303.

[0070] Furthermore, when it is necessary to increase or decrease the compression degree of the pad member 301 to increase or decrease the friction between the mounting base 233 and the mounting bracket 250, the thickness of the pad member 301 can be increased or decreased while keeping the distance between the second arm 252 and the second mounting wall 236 along the axial direction of the second support shaft 239 constant, or the number of adjusting shims (not shown) can be increased or decreased if they are present. Alternatively, the distance between the second arm 252 and the second mounting wall 236 along the axial direction of the second support shaft 239 can be decreased in various ways. In addition, when it is necessary to increase or decrease the friction between the mounting base 233 and the mounting bracket 250, the pad member 301 can be added between the first arm 251 and the first mounting wall 235, or the pad member 301 between the first arm 251 and the first mounting wall 235 can be removed.

[0071] Therefore, in the embodiment where the swing device is used as a swing part 200b in the camera device 100d, by providing a damping mechanism 300 that is clamped between the mounting base 233 and the mounting bracket 250 in a manner that applies force to the mounting base 233 and the mounting bracket 250 respectively along the axial direction of the support part 233b, i.e., the swing center 247, the mounting bracket 250 can be more stably maintained in the preset position of the mounting base 233. For example, referring to... Figure 6 At the instant when the swing motor 203 stops driving the mounting bracket 250 to a position where the first arm 251 and the rotation center 201c are parallel, the mounting bracket 250 also stops immediately and remains in the position where the first arm 251 is parallel to the rotation center 201c, and will not deviate relative to the rotation center 201c due to the transmission gap of the second transmission part 246.

[0072] Continue to refer to Figures 8 to 10 The following further describes the mutual mounting method of the swing motor 203, mounting base 233, mounting bracket 250, second transmission unit 246, and damping mechanism 300 of the swing unit 200b. It should be noted that the installation steps described below are only an example, and other installation steps are also possible as long as installation is possible.

[0073] The oscillating motor 203 is placed within the space defined by the first mounting wall 235, the second mounting wall 236, and the connecting wall 237 of the mounting base 233. Then, the oscillating motor 203 is locked inside the first mounting wall 235.

[0074] Next, on the first mounting wall 235 side of the mounting base 233, the third transmission member 248 of the second transmission unit 246 is coaxially locked to the output shaft of the swing motor 203. Then, while adjusting the meshing position of the third transmission member 248 and the fourth transmission member 249, the fourth transmission member 249 is fitted into the first support shaft 238.

[0075] Then, on the second mounting wall 236 side of the mounting base 233, the pad member 301 of the damping mechanism 300 is fitted into the second support shaft 239.

[0076] Next, the first arm 251 and the second arm 252 of the mounting bracket 250 are expanded outward in opposite directions, and the first arm 251 is mounted on the first support shaft 238, and the second arm 252 is mounted into the second support shaft 239.

[0077] Then, the first swing bearing 260 is fitted between the first hole 262 and the first support shaft 238, and the second swing bearing 261 is fitted between the second hole and the second support shaft 239.

[0078] Then, the first swing bearing 260 and the second swing bearing 261 are locked with screws. In addition, the first arm 251 and the fourth transmission member 249 are locked.

[0079] Thus, the swing motor 203, mounting base 233, mounting bracket 250, second transmission unit 246, and damping mechanism 300 become a whole.

[0080] Continue to refer to Figures 1 to 10 Next, the main steps of assembling the camera device 100 as a whole will be explained. It should be noted that the installation steps described below are only an example, and other installation steps may also be used as long as installation is possible.

[0081] First, the swing part 200b, which mainly includes the swing motor 203, mounting base 233, mounting bracket 250, second transmission part 246, and damping mechanism 300, is installed onto the rotary part 200a, which includes the base 201, rotary motor 202, and first transmission part 222. That is, the mounting base 233 is locked to the base 201 by screws.

[0082] Next, the clearance groove 113 of the second housing 105 is aligned with the end portion 250c formed in the middle of the connecting arm 253 of the mounting bracket 250, so that the end portion 250c protrudes through the clearance groove 113, and the second housing 105 covers the base 201.

[0083] Next, the second housing 105 and the base 201 are locked together by screws from the second side 201b of the base 201.

[0084] Then, the first housing 104 and the first transmission member 223 are locked, thereby locking the first housing 104 and the second housing 105 as a whole.

[0085] Next, the mounting box 254 of the actuator 103 is locked to the end 250c of the clearance groove 113 of the mounting bracket 250 that exposes the second housing 105. In addition, when mounting the box 254, the magnitude of the friction force of the damping mechanism 300 can be adjusted to ensure that the actuator 103 can be stably held.

[0086] Finally, the base 101 is installed onto the first housing 104 by means of snap-fit ​​fasteners, thereby completing the assembly of the camera device 100.

[0087] In the swing device of the first embodiment, by providing a damping mechanism 300 between the mounting base 233 and the mounting bracket 250, respectively applying force to the mounting base 233 and the mounting bracket 250, the frictional force between the mounting base 233 and the mounting bracket 250 is increased. This frictional force allows the mounting bracket 250 to remain stable relative to the mounting base 233 without the driving force of the swing motor 203. Therefore, when the swing motor 203 stops, the mounting bracket 250 is stably held in place by the mounting base 233 due to the frictional force provided by the damping mechanism 300 between it and the mounting base 233 (i.e., there is no relative movement between the mounting bracket 250 and the mounting base 233).

[0088] Furthermore, the magnitude of the frictional force generated by the damping mechanism 300 does not require special calculation; it can be determined, for example, through limited experiments, thus facilitating implementation.

[0089] In the swing device of this embodiment, by having the mounting bracket 250 have a first arm 251 and a second arm 252, when the mounting bracket 250 is mounted to the mounting base 233, the first arm 251 and the second arm 252 are located on the outside of the first mounting base 233a of the mounting base 233 along the axial direction of the support portion 233b (i.e., the direction of the swing center 247 of the mounting bracket 250), so that the mounting bracket 250 can be smoothly and reliably mounted on the mounting base 233 in a manner that clamps the mounting base 233.

[0090] In the swing device of this embodiment, by making the support portion 233b of the mounting base 233 include a first support shaft 238 and a second support shaft 239, and the supported portion 250b of the mounting bracket 250 includes a first hole portion 262 mounted on the first support shaft 238 and a second hole portion 263 mounted on the second support shaft 239, the mounting bracket 250 can be easily installed into the mounting base 233 by deformation, and the mounting bracket 250 can swing smoothly and stably relative to the mounting base 233.

[0091] Furthermore, in the swing device of this embodiment, by having the pad member 301 included in the damping mechanism 300 apply force to the mounting base 233 and the mounting bracket 250 respectively along the axial direction of the support portion 233b, the damping mechanism 300 can be easily configured. For example, since the damping mechanism 300 is clamped between the mounting base 233 and the mounting bracket 250, the magnitude of the frictional force generated by the damping mechanism 300 can be changed simply by changing the clamping force between the mounting base 233 and the mounting bracket. This makes it easy to adjust the damping mechanism 300, and the required magnitude of the frictional force can be determined through limited testing, further facilitating implementation.

[0092] Furthermore, since the damping mechanism 300 is arranged along the axial direction of the support portion 233b, i.e., in the direction of the support portion 250b relative to the rotation center of the support portion 233b, it will not affect the swinging action or swinging accuracy of the mounting bracket 250.

[0093] Furthermore, by clamping the pad member 301 between the first arm portion 251 and the first mounting base 233a, and / or between the second arm portion 252 and the first mounting base 233a, along the axial direction of the support portion 233b, the pad member 301 can be installed or replaced more easily and at a lower cost. In addition, since the pad member 301 is close to the swing center 247 of the mounting bracket 250, the mounting bracket 250 can swing smoothly while maintaining the friction between the mounting bracket 250 and the mounting base 233, thus suppressing jamming of the mounting bracket 250 as a whole.

[0094] In the swing device of this embodiment, by fixing the first arm 251 and the second arm 252 axially relative to the first mounting base 233a, the mounting bracket 250 and the mounting seat 233 can clamp the pad member 301 with a substantially constant clamping force, thereby ensuring that the frictional force generated by the damping mechanism 300 between the mounting bracket 250 and the mounting seat 233 is substantially constant, and ensuring that the mounting bracket 250 is reliably held in a preset position without the driving force of the swing motor 203.

[0095] In the swing device of this embodiment, by making the reduction ratio of the transmission mechanism greater than 1 and less than 3, the swing speed of the mounting bracket 250 can be controlled more easily, and the torque input to the mounting bracket 250 can be increased. This allows the mounting bracket 250 to start smoothly and prevents the mounting bracket 250 from rotating too fast.

[0096] On the other hand, in the camera device 100 of the second embodiment which has the swing device of the first embodiment, since the swing device (i.e., the swing part 200b) described above is included, the actuator 103 of the mounting bracket 250 installed on the swing part 200b can be held more stably in the preset position.

[0097] Furthermore, in the camera device 100 of the embodiment, by using a transmission mechanism (second transmission unit 246) to arrange the swing motor 203 and the rotary motor 202 in a flat and staggered manner on both sides of the direction of the rotation center (i.e., swing center 247) of the supported part 250b relative to the support part 233b, the overall height of the camera device 100 can be greatly reduced.

[0098] Furthermore, with the swing motor 203 and the rotary motor 202 respectively positioned on either side of the swing center 247, it is easy to make the rotary center 201c of the camera device 100 and the swing center 247 of the camera device 100 (i.e., the rotation center of the supported part 250b relative to the support part 233b) orthogonal and intersecting. This allows the rotary motion and swing motion of the camera device 100 to be balanced and superimposed, thereby improving the control accuracy of the camera device 100 and reducing the control difficulty of the camera device 100.

[0099] On the other hand, in the camera device 100 of the third embodiment, which has the swing device of the first embodiment, the swing motor 203 can be easily installed by having the first mounting wall 235, the second mounting wall 236, and the connecting wall 237 of the mounting base 233 jointly define a space for accommodating the swing motor 203. Based on this mounting base 233, by having the first arm 251 of the mounting bracket 250 face the first mounting wall 235, the second arm 252 face the second mounting wall 236, and the connecting arm 253 face the connecting wall 237, the mounting bracket 250, which is driven by the swing motor 203 to swing relative to the mounting base 233, can be arranged in a compact space. Furthermore, the mounting bracket 250 can be stably and reliably installed onto the mounting base 233 in a manner that clamps the mounting base 233.

[0100] Furthermore, based on the compact swing section 200b of the camera device 100, by having the pad member 301 of the damping mechanism 300 clamped between the first arm 251 and the first mounting wall 235, and / or between the second arm 252 and the second mounting wall 236 along the axial direction of the support section 233b, the pad member 301 can be mounted more easily and at a lower cost. Moreover, since the pad member 301 of the damping mechanism 300 is arranged along the axial direction of the support section 233b, the swinging action or swing accuracy of the mounting bracket 250 is not affected. Furthermore, the mounting bracket 250 can swing smoothly, suppressing overall jamming of the mounting bracket 250.

[0101] Furthermore, the pad member 301 can be provided only between the second arm portion 252 and the second mounting wall 236. By providing a transmission mechanism, i.e., the second transmission part 246, on one side of the mounting bracket 250 (i.e., the side of the first arm portion 251) and providing the pad member 301 on the other side of the mounting bracket 250 (i.e., the side of the second arm portion 252), the mounting bracket 250 can be mounted to the mounting base 233 approximately centered along the direction of the swing center 247, thereby enabling the mounting bracket 250 to swing more balancedly and smoothly, and suppressing uneven force on the mounting bracket 250.

[0102] It should be noted that in the above embodiment where the swinging device serves as the swinging portion 200b of the camera device 100, although an example has been described where the mounting bracket 250 has a first arm 251 and a second arm 252, and the first arm 251 and the second arm 252 are located outside the mounting base 233, this is not a limitation. For example, the mounting base 233 may be U-shaped overall, and the mounting bracket 250 may be mounted inside the mounting base 233.

[0103] In the above embodiments, although an example has been described where the support portion 233b includes a first support shaft 238 and a second support shaft 239, and the supported portion 250b includes a first hole 262 and a second hole 263, the embodiments are not limited thereto. For example, the support portion 233b of the mounting base 233 may include a first hole 262 and a second hole 263, while the supported portion 250b of the mounting bracket 250 may include a first support shaft 238 and a second support shaft 239.

[0104] Furthermore, while the above embodiments illustrate an example of the first mounting base 233a and the support portion 233b being integrally formed, the embodiments are not limited thereto. When the support portion 233b includes a first support shaft 238 and a second support shaft 239, the first support shaft 238 and the second support shaft 239 can also be mounted to the first mounting base 233a as separate components. Alternatively, the first support shaft 238 and the second support shaft 239 can be a single, integral long shaft spanning the entire first mounting base 233a.

[0105] Similarly, when the supported portion 250b of the mounting bracket 250 includes a first support shaft 238 and a second support shaft 239, the first support shaft 238 and the second support shaft 239 can be integrally formed with the second mounting base 250a of the mounting bracket 250, or they can be installed as separate components on the first mounting base 233a.

[0106] In the above embodiments, although examples have been described where the pad member 301 is sandwiched between the first arm 251 and the first mounting base 233a along the axial direction of the support portion 233b, and / or between the second arm 252 and the first mounting base 233a, the embodiments are not limited thereto. For example, when the mounting bracket 250 has a connecting arm 253 that spans the first mounting base 233a of the mounting seat 233 along the axial direction of the support portion 233b, the damping mechanism 300 may also be sandwiched between the connecting arm 253 and the first mounting base 233a, and apply force to the connecting arm 253 and the first mounting base 233a respectively. Furthermore, the pad member 301 may be disposed separately between the connecting wall 237 of the connecting arm 253 and the first mounting base 233a, or it may be used with the pad member 301 between the first arm 251 and the first mounting base 233a, and / or between the second arm 252 and the first mounting base 233a.

[0107] In the above embodiment, although the pad member 301 of the damping mechanism 300 is described as an example of an elastic element, it is not limited thereto. For example, the pad member 301 may also have a friction surface formed on its surface, such as knurling, and be sandwiched between the mounting bracket 250 and the mounting base 233.

[0108] Furthermore, while the above embodiment illustrates an example of the oscillating device being used in the camera device 100, it is not limited to this. The oscillating device can also be applied in any other applicable applications, such as industrial robots, automated equipment, etc.

[0109] Furthermore, while the above embodiments illustrate an example of using the camera device 100 for pet monitoring, it is not limited to this. The camera device 100 can also be used in various applications such as dashcams, home surveillance equipment, and outdoor surveillance equipment.

[0110] Although embodiments of this implementation have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this implementation, the scope of which is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
