The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.
[0021] All features disclosed in this specification, or all steps in all disclosed methods or processes, may be combined in any way, except for mutually exclusive features and / or steps.
[0022] Any feature disclosed in this specification (including any appended claims, abstract, and drawings) may be replaced by other equivalent or similar features for a similar purpose, unless specifically stated otherwise. That is, unless specifically stated otherwise, each feature is merely one example of a series of equivalent or similar features.
[0023] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a camera protection device of this utility model includes a camera body 1, a protective cover 3, and a sealing element 7. The sealing element 7 has a cavity at its center that matches the cross-section of the camera body 1. The sealing element 7 is fitted onto the camera body 1 through the cavity. An outer tube 2 is installed on the outside of the sealing element 7. The opening of the protective cover 3 is fitted onto the outside of the outer tube 2. The inner side of the cavity has a rectangular structure with multiple grooves 8. Each side of the grooves 8 has multiple channels 9 that communicate with the protective cover 3. Multiple fixing plates 4 are installed at the end of the outer tube 2 away from the protective cover 3. Each fixing plate 4 has a rectangular groove on its opposite surface. The fixing plates 4 are fitted onto the camera body 1 through the rectangular grooves and a fixing mechanism is installed between them and the camera.
[0024] The protective cover can cover the lens of the camera body, preventing the lens from being broken and increasing safety.
[0025] In this embodiment, the fixing mechanism includes a fixing seat 5, multiple connecting plates 6, multiple bolts 12 and nuts. The fixing seats 5 are all installed on the camera body 1, and one end of each fixing seat 5 is inserted between the fixing plates 4. The connecting plates 6 are respectively disposed on both sides of the fixing seats 5, and one end of each connecting plate 6 is installed on the fixing plate 4. Each connecting seat is provided with a first fixing hole, and each connecting plate 6 is provided with a second fixing hole opposite to the first screw hole. The bolts 12 are all inserted into the corresponding first fixing hole and second screw hole, and are all threadedly connected to the nuts.
[0026] In this embodiment, the inner wall surface of the opening of the protective cover 3 is provided with a positioning groove of an annular structure, and the outer ring surface of the outer tube 2 protrudes to form a positioning part 11 of an annular structure, and the positioning part 11 is slidably disposed in the positioning groove.
[0027] This allows the protective cover to rotate along the positioning part. When the side of the protective cover is impacted, if the impact force is large and the impact force can cause the protective cover to rotate along the positioning part, the impact force is converted into rotational force through rotation, reducing the probability of damage to the protective cover.
[0028] In this embodiment, the sealing element 7 is made of rubber material, and one end of the sealing element 7 expands outward to form a sealing part 10 with an annular structure. The outer ring surface of the sealing part 10 is in contact with the inner ring surface of the protective cover 3. The sealing part can ensure the sealing between the protective cover and the outer tube, and prevent external moisture and dust from entering the interior of the protective cover through the gap between the two.
[0029] In this embodiment, the protective cover 3 is made of transparent tempered glass or transparent plastic material, which makes the protective cover highly transparent, and the camera body can take pictures of the outside through the protective cover.
[0030] In this embodiment, the outer tube 2 is made of stainless steel to prevent rusting.
[0031] In this embodiment, the fixing plates 4 are all made of elastic metal material, so that after the fixing plates and the camera body come into contact, once the protective cover is hit by the outside, the fixing plates can bend. After bending, the outer tube can tilt to one side and squeeze the seal. The elasticity of the seal plays a buffering role, reducing the probability of damage to the protective cover.
[0032] In this embodiment, the inner side of the sealing member 7 is tightly fitted to the side of the camera body 1, which increases the sealing between the sealing member and the camera body and prevents external moisture from entering the protective cover from between the two.
[0033] An outdoor camera, including the aforementioned camera protection device.
[0034] During installation, first place the desiccant into the groove, then hold the protective cover and let the fixing plate be fitted onto the camera body through the rectangular groove, while the sealing element is fitted onto the camera through the chamber. After moving into place, the bolts pass through the corresponding first and second fixing holes, and the outer tube is fixed onto the camera body with nuts.
[0035] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions conceived without inventive effort should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope defined in the claims.
