Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of camera equipment technology, specifically to a full-view camera. Background Technology

[0002] In existing surveillance camera systems, 360° rotating cameras are widely used in security, smart home and other fields due to their full-view coverage capability.

[0003] However, these types of cameras are usually composed of multiple precision components such as a rotating mechanism, a motor drive module, and a camera module. The assembly process requires precise alignment and fixing of multiple connection points, which is cumbersome and results in low production efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a simple and easy-to-assemble all-view camera solution to improve production efficiency and reduce manufacturing costs. Utility Model Content

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a full-view camera, comprising:

[0006] A camera assembly includes a housing, a camera, and a first motor. The camera and the first motor are fixed in the housing, and the camera protrudes from the housing. A first drive shaft of the first motor extends out of the housing. The protrusion direction of the camera is perpendicular to the protrusion direction of the first drive shaft. A first connection hole is provided at the axis of the first drive shaft.

[0007] The base has a connecting arm that protrudes downward at the edge of the base, and a first groove is provided at the bottom of the connecting arm. The first drive shaft is disposed in the first groove, and the outer side wall of the first drive shaft is in contact with the inner side wall of the first groove.

[0008] A first connector passes through the bottom wall of the first groove and is threadedly connected to the first connecting hole to fix the camera assembly and the base.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: by fixing the first motor in the housing, and providing a first connecting hole at the axis of the first drive shaft of the first motor, and then threading the first connector through the bottom wall of the first groove to the first connecting hole, the connection and installation of the camera assembly and the base can be completed without multiple connection points. The structure is simple, the assembly is convenient, and it can improve production efficiency and reduce manufacturing costs. In addition, the exposed direction of the camera is perpendicular to the protruding direction of the first drive shaft, and the first motor is fixed in the housing. When the first drive shaft is driven, since the first drive shaft is located in the first groove, the first drive shaft does not rotate. The first motor fixed in the housing drives the housing to rotate, thereby driving the camera to rotate.

[0010] Furthermore, the cross-sectional shape of the portion of the first groove that contacts the first drive shaft is non-circular.

[0011] Furthermore, the housing has protrusions around the protrusion position of the first drive shaft, protruding towards the connecting arm, and the protrusions are arranged circumferentially around the first drive shaft.

[0012] The connecting arm is provided with a second groove, the first groove is located at the center of the second groove, and the sidewall of the second groove is arranged around the circumference of the first groove;

[0013] The outer wall of the protrusion is in contact with the inner wall of the second groove.

[0014] Furthermore, the housing is provided with a first wire-passing hole in the area surrounded by the protrusion, and the first motor and the first wire-passing hole have overlapping and non-overlapping areas when projected along the through direction of the first drive shaft. The first drive shaft passes through the overlapping area of ​​the first wire-passing hole and fits against the inner sidewall of the first groove. The non-overlapping area is used for wire passing.

[0015] Furthermore, the protrusion has a break, and the housing has a second connecting hole at the break position of the protrusion. The camera also includes a second connector, which passes through the second connecting hole and is threadedly connected to the first motor so that the first motor is fixed in the housing.

[0016] Furthermore, the connecting arm has a third groove on the side wall away from the camera assembly, and a third connecting hole is provided between the bottom wall of the third groove and the first groove. The first connecting member passes through the third connecting hole and is threadedly connected to the first connecting hole. The limiting end of the first connecting member abuts against the bottom wall of the third groove.

[0017] The camera is also provided with a blocking block, which has a fourth groove. When the blocking block is placed in the third groove, the limiting end of the first connector is located in the fourth groove, and the outer wall surface of the blocking block away from the third groove matches the side wall surface of the connecting arm with the third groove.

[0018] Furthermore, a limiting block is provided in the third groove, and a limiting notch is provided on the side wall of the blocking block to cooperate with the limiting block.

[0019] Furthermore, the base includes:

[0020] A base body, wherein a second motor is fixedly mounted on the base body;

[0021] A rotating seat is located below the seat body, and the seat body and the rotating seat are configured with a limiting structure in the vertical direction. The second drive shaft of the second motor drives the rotating seat to rotate in the horizontal circumferential direction. The connecting arm is part of the rotating seat.

[0022] Furthermore, the limiting structure consists of a first edge protrusion extending radially from the bottom outer edge of the seat and a second edge protrusion extending radially from the top outer edge of the rotating seat, with the first edge protrusion and the second edge protrusion overlapping each other vertically.

[0023] Furthermore, the connecting wall is a hollow structure, with a second wire passage hole at one end and a third wire passage hole at the other end of the connecting arm. The third wire passage hole is located on the side wall of the second groove, so that the wire passes through the non-overlapping areas of the second wire passage hole, the third wire passage hole and the first wire passage hole from the base to supply power to the camera and the first motor of the camera assembly.
