Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of camera technology, specifically to a camera that can be adjusted in multiple directions. Background Technology

[0002] In today's numerous surveillance and shooting scenarios, cameras, as key image acquisition devices, are widely used in many fields such as security monitoring, video conferencing, smart homes, and industrial inspection, playing a vital role.

[0003] However, most cameras on the market currently suffer from a significant problem in practical applications: they are mostly fixed at specific installation points, making multi-directional adjustments difficult. When it's necessary to replan the monitored area, adjust the monitoring range, or temporarily change the focus of monitoring in response to emergencies, existing fixed cameras cannot quickly and flexibly change their shooting direction, resulting in blind spots and an inability to obtain comprehensive and accurate information in a timely manner.

[0004] To address this, we propose a multi-directional adjustable camera. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned shortcomings and provide a camera that can be adjusted in multiple directions.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] This utility model is achieved by the following technical solution: a multi-directional adjustable camera, including a camera body and an adjustment component for adjusting the angle of the camera body, including connecting columns fixed on both sides of the camera body and a mounting plate rotatably connected to the tail end of the connecting columns. The angle of the camera body can be adjusted by the operation of the adjustment component.

[0008] The mounting part, used to adjust the height of the camera body, includes a loading plate and a base arranged sequentially from top to bottom below the camera body. The mounting plate is fixed on the loading plate, and the loading plate is threaded with threaded posts for driving the loading plate to make vertical displacement. Through the operation of the mounting part, the corresponding height of the camera body can be adjusted.

[0009] As a further improvement to the above solution, one end of the threaded column is connected to a motor fixed on the base, and the other end of the threaded column is rotatably connected to a connecting plate. The threaded column can be driven to rotate by the operation of the motor.

[0010] As a further improvement to the above solution, the loading plate is slidably provided with a stabilizing column to guide the displacement of the loading plate. The stabilizing column is fixed between the base and the connecting plate. The stabilizing column can prevent the loading plate from shifting during the displacement process.

[0011] As a further improvement to the above solution, the base is provided with a cooling component for cooling the camera body. The cooling component includes a liquid storage column fixed on the top side of the base, an infusion pipe connected to the liquid storage column, and multiple nozzles installed on the infusion pipe. A piston block is slidably connected inside the liquid storage column, and a pressure column fixed on the piston block is slidably inserted into the top of the liquid storage column. A connecting plate fixed between two mounting plates is fixed at the end of the pressure column located outside the liquid storage column. Through the operation of the cooling component, the camera body can be cooled.

[0012] As a further improvement to the above solution, the loading plate is provided with an installation groove, and a fixing plate that is fixed between the connecting plate and the base slides through the installation groove. The nozzle is fixed on the fixing plate, and the output end of the nozzle corresponds to the camera body. The nozzle can be installed and fixed through the fixing plate.

[0013] As a further improvement to the above solution, a liquid level valve connected to the liquid storage column is installed on the outside of the liquid storage column, so that the user can conveniently inject water into the liquid storage column through the liquid level valve.

[0014] As a further improvement to the above solution, the loading plate is provided with a through hole that slides with the liquid storage column. Through the through hole, the liquid storage column can be prevented from interfering with the vertical displacement of the loading plate.

[0015] As a further improvement to the above solution, a second motor is fixed inside the mounting plate located on one side of the camera body. The output end of the second motor is connected to a drive shaft. A gear is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the drive shaft. A gear is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the connecting column near the gear and meshes with the gear. By running the second motor, the drive shaft can be driven to rotate, which in turn drives the gear to rotate, and the gear and the connecting column to rotate.

[0016] As a further improvement to the above solution, a workbench is provided above the base, and a clamping assembly for clamping circuit boards is provided on the workbench. The clamping assembly includes a support plate symmetrically fixed to the top side of the workbench and a clamping block disposed inside the support plate. A linkage block is provided between the support plate and the adjacent clamping block. Both ends of the linkage block are threaded with lead screws rotatably connected to the adjacent clamping blocks. A drive shaft with a motor three connected to its tail end is fixed on the side of the linkage block away from the clamping block. The motor three is fixed on the adjacent support plate. Through the operation of the clamping assembly, the circuit board can be clamped, and the front and back sides and vertical angle of the circuit board can be monitored.

[0017] As a further improvement to the above solution, a support column is fixedly rotatably connected to the top side of the base at the bottom of the workbench. One side of the support column is provided with an output shaft on which a gear three is fixedly sleeved. A gear four that meshes with gear three is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the support column. The bottom end of the output shaft is drivenly connected to a motor four fixed to the top side of the base. Through the operation of the above components, the circuit board on the workbench can be driven to rotate, which facilitates the camera to monitor the lateral angle of the circuit board.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0019] This invention allows for adjustment of the camera angle through the operation of the adjustment component and the camera height through the operation of the mounting part. The cooperation between the adjustment component and the mounting part enables multi-directional adjustment of the camera, facilitating user operation. Furthermore, it can quickly cool down cameras that require heat dissipation based on their operating status. It boasts high performance and can clamp circuit boards through the operation of the clamping component, allowing for multi-directional monitoring of the clamped circuit boards.

[0020] In summary, this utility model has a reasonable structure and allows for multi-directional adjustment of the camera, making it convenient for users to operate the camera. It can also quickly cool down cameras that require cooling based on their operating status, resulting in high performance. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0030] Example 1:

[0031] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 This embodiment of a multi-directional adjustable camera includes a camera body 1 and an adjustment component for adjusting the angle of the camera body 1, including connecting posts 17 fixed on both sides of the camera body 1 and a mounting plate 3 rotatably connected to the tail end of the connecting posts 17.

[0032] The mounting section is used to adjust the height of the camera body 1. It includes a loading plate 2 and a base 4 arranged sequentially from top to bottom below the camera body 1. The mounting plate 3 is fixed on the loading plate 2. The loading plate 2 is threaded with a threaded post 5 for driving the loading plate 2 to make vertical displacement.

[0033] The implementation principle of a multi-directional adjustable camera in this embodiment is as follows: When the user needs to adjust the angle of the camera body 1 while using the camera body 1, the rotation of the connecting column 17 can drive the camera body 1 to rotate, thus adjusting the angle of the camera body 1. The rotation of the threaded column 5, through the threaded engagement between the threaded column 5 and the loading plate 2, can drive the loading plate 2 to move vertically, thereby driving the mounting plate 3 and the camera body 1 to move vertically, thus adjusting the corresponding height of the camera body 1.

[0034] One end of the threaded column 5 is connected to a motor 13 fixed on the base 4. The motor 13 is a forward and reverse stepper motor. The other end of the threaded column 5 is rotatably connected to a connecting plate 19. The threaded column 5 can be driven to rotate by the operation of the motor 13.

[0035] The loading plate 2 is slidably provided with a stabilizing column 14 to guide the displacement of the loading plate 2. The stabilizing column 14 is fixed between the base 4 and the connecting plate 19. The stabilizing column 14 can prevent the loading plate 2 from shifting during the displacement process.

[0036] Example 2:

[0037] Combination Figure 3 This embodiment, based on Embodiment 1, further improves upon the following: A cooling assembly for cooling the camera body 1 is provided on the base 4. The cooling assembly includes a liquid storage column 6 fixed to the top side of the base 4, an infusion pipe 10 connected to the liquid storage column 6, and multiple nozzles 11 installed on the infusion pipe 10. A piston block 7 is slidably connected inside the liquid storage column 6, and a pressure column 8 fixed to the piston block 7 is slidably inserted into the top of the liquid storage column 6. A connecting plate 9 fixed between two mounting plates 3 is fixed to the end of the pressure column 8 located outside the liquid storage column 6. When the camera body 1 needs cooling after prolonged operation in high-temperature conditions, the cooling assembly... The rotation of the connecting column 17 can drive the camera body 1 to rotate. When the camera body 1 and the mounting plate 3 are at the same level, the rotation of the threaded column 5 and the threaded engagement between the threaded column 5 and the loading plate 2 can drive the loading plate 2 to move vertically, drive the mounting plate 3 and the connecting plate 9 to move vertically downward, and drive the pressure column 8 and the piston block 7 to move vertically downward. At this time, the vertically downward displacement of the piston block 7 can compress the water inside the liquid storage column 6 into the infusion pipe 10. The water inside the infusion pipe 10 will enter the nozzle 11, and the nozzle 1 will spray water mist to cool the camera body 1.

[0038] The loading plate 2 has an installation groove, and a fixing plate 12 is slidably inserted inside the installation groove and fixed between the connecting plate 19 and the base 4. The nozzle 11 is fixed on the fixing plate 12, and the output end of the nozzle 11 corresponds to the camera body 1. The nozzle 11 can be installed and fixed through the fixing plate 12.

[0039] A liquid level valve connected to the liquid storage column 6 is installed on the outside of the liquid storage column 6. Through the liquid level valve, the user can easily inject water into the liquid storage column 6.

[0040] The loading plate 2 has a through hole 15 that slides with the liquid storage column 6. The through hole 15 can prevent the liquid storage column 6 from interfering with the vertical displacement of the loading plate 2.

[0041] Example 3:

[0042] Combination Figure 4 Based on Embodiment 1, this embodiment is further improved in that: a second motor is fixed inside the mounting plate 3 located on one side of the camera body 1. The second motor is a forward and reverse stepper motor. The output end of the second motor is connected to a drive shaft 1. A gear 16 is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the drive shaft 1. A gear 2 18 that meshes with the gear 16 is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the connecting post 17 near the gear 16. Through the operation of the second motor, the drive shaft 1 can be driven to rotate, which in turn drives the gear 16 to rotate, and drives the gear 2 18 and the connecting post 17 to rotate.

[0043] Example 4:

[0044] Combination Figure 5 This embodiment, based on embodiment 1, further improves upon the following: a workbench 20 is provided above the base 4, and a clamping assembly for holding the circuit board is provided on the workbench 20. The clamping assembly includes a support plate 22 symmetrically fixed to the top side of the workbench 20 and a clamping block 23 disposed inside the support plate 22. A connecting block 24 is provided between the support plate 22 and the adjacent clamping block 23. Both ends of the connecting block 24 are threaded with lead screws 25 rotatably connected to the adjacent clamping block 23. A drive shaft 26 with a motor 3 connected to its tail end is fixed to the side of the connecting block 24 away from the clamping block 23. The motor 3 is fixed on the adjacent support plate 22. When needed... When using the camera body 1 to monitor the circuit board, the circuit board can be placed between two clamping blocks 23. Rotating the lead screw 25 causes the clamping blocks 23 to move. When the moved clamping blocks 23 contact the circuit board, the circuit board is clamped between the two clamping blocks 23. At this time, the circuit board can be monitored through the camera body 1. When the camera body 1 needs to adjust the angle of the circuit board while monitoring it, the operation of the motor 3 can drive the transmission shaft 26 to rotate, which in turn drives the connecting block 24 and the clamping blocks 23 to rotate, thus rotating the circuit board. At this time, the front and back of the circuit board as well as the vertical angle can be monitored.

[0045] Example 5:

[0046] Combination Figure 6 This embodiment is further improved on the basis of embodiment 1 in that: a support column 21 is fixedly fixed to the bottom of the workbench 20 and rotatably connected to the top side of the base 4. An output shaft with a gear three fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the support column 21 is provided on one side. A gear four that meshes with the gear three is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the support column 21. A motor four fixedly connected to the bottom end of the output shaft is driven by a motor four fixed to the top side of the base 4. By running the motor four, the output shaft can be driven to rotate, which in turn drives the gear three to rotate, drives the gear four to rotate, drives the support column 21 and the workbench 20 to rotate, and drives the circuit board on the workbench 20 to rotate. At this time, the lateral angle of the circuit board can be monitored.

[0047] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention.
