[0027] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments:

[0028] In the description of the utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the utility model.

[0029] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a universal camera 17 quick-connector 1 with multiple T-shaped keel 22 is provided; each T-shaped keel 22 includes a horizontal plate 14 and a vertical plate 15 disposed on the top surface of the horizontal plate 14. In this embodiment, the multiple T-shaped keel 22 is a national standard T-shaped keel 22; the connector 1 is an integrally formed part, and its structure includes a hook portion with an opening facing downward that cooperates with the vertical plate 15, a connecting plate 23 parallel to the horizontal plate 14, and a mounting plate for installing the camera 17, which are connected in sequence; as shown Figure 2As shown, the height H of the highest point of the inner wall at the bend of the hook is greater than the height of the vertical plate 15 of the tallest T-shaped keel 22 among the multiple T-shaped keels 22. Alternatively, H is equal to the height M of the tallest T-shaped keel 22 among the multiple T-shaped keels 22. Specifically, H is greater than the predetermined height of the tallest T-shaped keel 22 among the multiple T-shaped keels 22, which is 1 mm. That is, H is 1 mm taller than the tallest T-shaped keel 22 among the multiple T-shaped keels 22. Theoretically, H is equal to the height M of the tallest T-shaped keel 22 among the multiple T-shaped keels 22. The height of the vertical plate 15 of the keel 22 is sufficient for the use. Considering the production tolerance of the T-shaped keel 22, in this utility model, H is slightly larger than the vertical plate 15 of the tallest T-shaped keel 22 among the various models of T-shaped keels 22, that is, 1 mm larger. This is to ensure that when the hook part of the connector 1 is hung on the vertical plate 15 of the T-shaped keel 22, the connecting plate 23 of the connector 1 can be supported on the horizontal plate 14 of the T-shaped keel 22. In this way, when the ceiling is placed on the connecting plate 23, the gap between the ceiling and the top surface of the horizontal plate 14 of the T-shaped keel 22 will not be too large. It should be noted that the thickness of the connector 1 is about 1 mm. Installing the connector 1 will not affect the aesthetics of the ceiling installed on the keel.

[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, the hook portion has multiple screw holes 16 vertically arranged; when the connector 1 is installed on the T-shaped keel 22, the connecting plate 23 is in contact with the horizontal plate 14, and the end of the connecting plate 23 near the mounting plate protrudes from the edge of the horizontal plate 14; when the connector 1 is installed on the T-shaped keel 22, the screws threaded into the screw holes 16 abut against the vertical plate 15 of the T-shaped keel 22. In this embodiment, because the connecting plate 23 is in contact with the horizontal plate 14 when the connector 1 is installed on the T-shaped keel 22, the connector 1 can be used with different models of T-shaped keels 22. It should be noted that when the connector 1 is installed on the T-shaped keel 22, the top surface of the vertical plate 15 of the T-shaped keel 22 may not be in contact with the connector 1; Figure 2 As shown, the hook part is U-shaped with the opening facing downwards, and the width L of the hook part opening is greater than the width N of the vertical plate 15.

[0031] In this embodiment, the specific structure of the connecting plate 23 is as follows: Figure 3As shown, the hook portion includes a first vertical plate 2 located at the free end, a first horizontal plate 3 extending horizontally to the right from the top of the first vertical plate 2, and a second vertical plate 4 extending vertically downward from the right end of the first horizontal plate 3. The lower end of the second vertical plate 4 is connected to the left end of the connecting plate 23. Multiple screw holes 16 are provided on the first vertical plate 2. The mounting plate includes a third vertical plate 5 extending vertically downward from the right end of the connecting plate 23, and a second horizontal plate 6 extending horizontally to the right from the bottom end of the third vertical plate 5. The mounting plate is used to mount the camera 17 via a universal rotating bracket 10. The second horizontal plate 6 has mounting holes 7 for mounting the universal rotating bracket 10. The universal rotating bracket 10 is an existing component, and its specific structure will not be described here. Figure 4 As shown, the universal rotating bracket 10 includes a flange 11 at the top, and a first locking protrusion 12 and a second locking protrusion 13 are disposed opposite each other on the lower end face of the flange 11. A first slot 8 and a second slot 9 are provided at the mounting hole 7 corresponding to the first locking protrusion 12 and the second locking protrusion 13. In this embodiment, the cooperation of the first locking protrusion 12 and the second locking protrusion 13 with the first slot 8 and the second slot 9 can prevent the universal rotating bracket 10 from rotating in the mounting hole 7.

[0032] In summary, in this embodiment, by setting H to be greater than a predetermined value for the height of the vertical plate 15 of the highest vertical plate 15 among the multiple models of T-shaped keel 22, or by setting H to be equal to the height of the vertical plate 15 of the highest vertical plate 15 among the multiple models of T-shaped keel 22, even if there are multiple models of T-shaped keel 22, the hook part can still be hung on the vertical plate 15 of the T-shaped keel 22, and the connecting plate 23 of the connector 1 is supported on the horizontal plate 14 of the T-shaped keel 22. Finally, the screw is passed through the screw hole 16 and the head of the screw is pressed against the vertical plate 15 of the T-shaped keel 22, thereby fixing the connector 1 to the T-shaped keel 22.

[0033] In practical use, the universal camera quick-install connector 1 for multi-model T-shaped keel 22 of this utility model can be used if there is an existing panel light 18 installed in the ceiling. First, the panel light 18 or the adjacent ceiling panel 18 is lifted, the universal rotating bracket 10 is installed onto the connector 1, and then the connector 1 is installed on the T-shaped keel 22 of the ceiling panel 18 or the adjacent ceiling panel 18 (e.g., Figure 5 (As shown), disconnect the panel light power supply 20 from the mains power, connect the camera power supply 19 to the mains power, connect the panel light power supply 20 to the camera power supply 19, mount the camera 17 on the universal rotating bracket 10, and insert the interface of the Type-C cable 21 connected to the camera power supply 19 into the camera 17 (as shown). Figure 6 As shown), finally restore panel light 18 or the ceiling adjacent to panel light 18 to its original position (e.g. Figure 7As shown), this allows the camera 17 to be installed using the existing wiring of the panel light 18, without the need for rewiring or drilling or damaging the ceiling structure.
