[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0025] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a simple installation solution for a solar camera: it includes a body 1, an mounting plate 2 fixedly mounted on the back of the body 1, a first camera 3 mounted on the front of the body 1, a second camera 4 mounted on the bottom of the first camera 3, and the top of the second camera 4 is movably connected to the bottom of the first camera 3 through an adjusting bracket 5. The adjusting bracket 5 has a U-shaped structure and has a certain elastic expansion and contraction performance, which is conducive to the installation and removal of the second camera 4.
[0026] A rotating shaft is fixedly installed on the top of the adjustment bracket 5. The first camera 3 has a drive module inside for rotating the shaft. The second camera 4 is detachably installed on the bottom of the adjustment bracket 5 via the mounting assembly 6. A solar panel mounting base 7 is installed above the first camera 3. The bottom sides of the solar panel mounting base 7 are fixed to the outer casing of the first camera 3 by bolts. A solar panel 21 is movably connected to the solar panel mounting base 7.
[0027] Combination Figure 2 As shown, the mounting assembly 6 includes an adjusting lug 8 and a disassembly lug 9. An adjusting rod 10 is fixedly mounted on one side of the adjusting lug 8. The adjusting rod 10 passes through the adjusting bracket 5 and is connected to the second camera 4. The second camera 4 is provided with a mounting through hole 11 for mounting the adjusting rod 10. A limiting hole 12 is opened on the inner wall of the mounting through hole 11. A limiting block 13 is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the adjusting rod 10. The limiting block 13 is engaged in the limiting hole 12. The second camera 4 is rotated by the rotation of the adjusting rod 10.
[0028] In this embodiment, when the adjusting lug 8 rotates, it drives the adjusting rod 10 to rotate within the adjusting bracket 5. Simultaneously, the adjusting rod 10 drives the second camera 4 to rotate. The second camera 4 is engaged with the limiting hole 12 by the limiting block 13, allowing for angle adjustment of the second camera 4 while ensuring its stability during rotation. The detachable lug 9 facilitates the disassembly and replacement of the second camera 4, improving maintenance convenience.
[0029] Combination Figure 3 As shown, a connecting part 14 is fixedly installed on one side of the disassembly lug 9. The connecting part 14 has an external thread. The disassembly lug 9 is installed on the adjusting bracket 5 through the connecting part 14 via the threaded connection. A movable block 15 is installed on one side of the connecting part 14. The movable block 15 is rotatably connected to one end of the connecting part 14. The movable block 15 is located in the movable hole 16 on the inner wall of the adjusting bracket 5, and the movable block 15 slides left and right in the movable hole 16. The second camera 4 has a locking hole on the side of the disassembly lug 9 that engages with the movable block 15. When the movable block 15 moves to the side of the second camera 4, the movable block 15 engages in the locking hole. The outer wall of the movable block 15 has a protrusion 17 for limiting the rotation of the movable block 15. The inner wall of the movable hole 16 has a groove that cooperates with the protrusion 17.
[0030] In this embodiment, the movable block 15 can move axially along the movable hole 16 by rotating the connecting part 14. When the second camera 4 needs to be fixed, rotating the disassembly lug 9 causes the movable block 15 to move towards one side of the second camera 4 until the movable block 15 is engaged in the locking hole, thereby achieving a stable installation of the second camera 4. Disassembly can be performed by reversing the operation. In addition, the protrusion 17 provided on the outer wall of the movable block 15 cooperates with the groove on the inner wall of the movable hole 16, effectively restricting the rotation of the movable block 15.
[0031] It should also be noted that the second camera 4 and the control circuit assembly are connected by a wire. The end of the wire is equipped with a plug terminal that can be easily plugged in and unplugged. After the second camera 4 is removed, the plug terminal can be unplugged, so that the second camera 4 can be removed separately.
[0032] Combination Figure 4 As shown, a ball head 18 is fixedly provided at the connection point between the connecting part 14 and the movable block 15. A slot is provided on one side of the movable block 15 to cooperate with the ball head 18. The cooperation between the ball head 18 and the slot makes the rotation between the connecting part 14 and the movable block 15 smoother and more stable. When the connecting part 14 rotates, it can drive the movable block 15 to move left and right.
[0033] Combination Figure 5As shown, an elastic piece 19 is installed on one side of the adjusting lug 8, and an angle positioning hole 20 that cooperates with the elastic piece 19 is provided on the side wall of the second camera 4. The elastic piece 19 has a certain elastic deformation capability. When the adjusting lug 8 is rotated, the elastic piece 19 can be inserted into the angle positioning hole 20 and is firmly locked in the angle positioning hole 20 through its elastic restoring force, forming a damping force for rotation, thereby realizing the positioning of the second camera 4 at a specific angle.
[0034] Working principle: When the angle of the second camera 4 needs to be adjusted, first rotate the adjusting lug 8. The adjusting lug 8 drives the adjusting rod 10 to rotate within the adjusting bracket 5. At the same time, the adjusting rod 10 drives the second camera 4 to rotate, thereby adjusting the angle of the second camera 4. When the desired angle is reached, the elastic piece 19 will be inserted into the corresponding angle positioning hole 20 and will be firmly locked in the angle positioning hole 20 through its elastic restoring force, thereby achieving the positioning of the second camera 4 at a specific angle.
[0035] When the second camera 4 needs to be disassembled and replaced, first rotate the disassembly lug 9. The disassembly lug 9, through the rotation of the connecting part 14, drives the movable block 15 to move axially along the movable hole 16 until the movable block 15 disengages from the locking hole of the second camera 4. With the slight elastic expansion of the adjusting bracket 5, the second camera 4 can be easily removed from the adjusting bracket 5 for replacement or repair. When installing a new second camera 4, simply place it on the adjusting bracket 5 and reverse the above disassembly steps to achieve a stable installation.
[0036] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.
[0037] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
