[0008] The present invention is further configured such that a connecting rod is provided on the rear end face of the camera body, and an arc-shaped plate is provided on the rear end of the connecting rod. The L-shaped plate has first threaded holes on both the left and right ends, and the arc-shaped plate has second threaded holes on both the left and right ends corresponding to the first threaded holes. Multiple second threaded holes are provided in the circumferential direction of the arc-shaped plate. The first threaded holes and the second threaded holes are connected by bolts to achieve stable locking for tilt angle adjustment.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that protective covers can be detachably provided at both ends of the L-shaped plate, and heat dissipation holes are provided on both protective covers.

[0013] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a novel universal camera structure, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. Through the design of the rotating plate and mounting plate, this structure achieves a high degree of flexibility in the installation angle of the equipment via the rotating plate at the rear end of the L-shaped plate. The first mounting hole on the mounting plate or the second mounting hole on the rotating plate facilitates connection and fixation with different brackets or bases. This design significantly simplifies the on-site installation and commissioning process, can quickly adapt to different external installation environments, and improves the versatility and deployment efficiency of the equipment.

[0016] 2. The camera body is rotatably mounted within a slot in an L-shaped plate via a pivot. Its unique advantage lies in the design of the rear connecting rod and the arc-shaped plate. Multiple second threaded holes are distributed circumferentially on the arc-shaped plate, corresponding to the first threaded holes on both sides of the L-shaped plate. By selecting different positions of the second threaded holes and connecting them to the first threaded holes with bolts, the tilt angle of the camera body can be precisely adjusted and fixed.

[0017] 3. The removable protective covers mounted on both sides of the L-shaped plate provide crucial protection for the camera body. These covers encompass vulnerable areas on both sides and the rear of the camera (such as the hinge and the curved plate adjustment mechanism), and multiple ventilation holes ensure internal airflow, preventing overheating. Multiple internally spaced reinforcing seats significantly enhance the structural strength of the protective cover, increasing its impact and pressure resistance. The use of positioning rods and threaded positioning rings allows for convenient and secure installation and removal, facilitating maintenance. This design effectively protects the camera from harsh environments (such as dust, splashes, and accidental collisions), improving its durability and reliability in demanding industrial and outdoor applications.

[0027] Please see Figures 1-4 A novel universal camera structure includes an L-shaped plate 1, a through groove 2 on the L-shaped plate 1, a camera body 3 rotatably mounted inside the through groove 2, a rotating plate 4 rotatably mounted on the rear end face of the L-shaped plate 1, a mounting plate 5 on the front end face of the rotating plate 4 away from the L-shaped plate 1, a first mounting hole 6 symmetrically opened on the mounting plate 5, a second mounting hole 7 symmetrically opened on the rotating plate 4, a through hole 8 opened on the rotating plate 4, a limiting rod 9 detachably mounted inside the through hole 8, a limiting hole 10 corresponding to the limiting rod 9 opened on the L-shaped plate 1, a plurality of limiting holes 10 are provided, a limiting ring 11 is provided on the front side of the outer end face of the limiting rod 9, and the limiting ring 11 and the limiting rod 9 are threadedly connected.

[0028] In this embodiment, the camera body 3 is rotated relative to the through slot 2. The rotating plate 4 is rotated according to the external installation and usage environment. After the rotating plate 4 is rotated relative to the L-shaped plate 1 to a suitable angle, the limiting rod 9 is inserted into the corresponding through hole 8 and then installed through the limiting hole 10 at a suitable angle and position. The limiting ring 11 and the limiting rod 9 are threaded together to realize the overall angle adjustment of the rotating plate 4 and the mounting plate 5, which is convenient for installation and adjustment in different installation environments. When it is necessary to install on the rear side, the bolt passes through the second mounting hole 7 and is tightened and fixed by the external force. When it is necessary to install on the surrounding area, the bolt passes through the first mounting hole 6 of the mounting plate 5 and is tightened and fixed by the external force.

[0029] Please see Figures 1-3 As one method of adjusting the camera body 3: the camera body 3 is provided with a rotating shaft 12 at both the left and right ends, and the two rotating shafts 12 are rotatably arranged relative to the through groove 2. The rear end face of the camera body 3 is provided with a connecting rod 13, and the rear end of the connecting rod 13 is provided with an arc-shaped plate 14. The left and right ends of the L-shaped plate 1 are provided with first threaded holes 15, and the left and right ends of the arc-shaped plate 14 are provided with second threaded holes 16 corresponding to the first threaded holes 15. There are multiple second threaded holes 16 arranged in the circumferential direction relative to the arc-shaped plate 14. The first threaded holes 15 and the second threaded holes 16 are connected by bolts.

[0030] Specifically, the rotating shaft 12 drives the camera body 3 to rotate relative to the through groove 2 for adjustment, which in turn drives the rear connecting rod 13 and the arc plate 14 to rotate and adjust as a whole. After adjusting to a suitable tilt angle, the first threaded holes 15 on both sides of the L-shaped plate 1 and the suitable second threaded holes 16 on both sides of the arc plate 14 are aligned, and the bolts are passed through and tightened to fix them, which facilitates tilt angle adjustment.

[0031] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As a safety protection measure: both ends of the L-shaped plate 1 are detachably equipped with protective covers 17. Each of the two protective covers 17 has heat dissipation holes 18, and there are multiple heat dissipation holes 18. Each of the two protective covers 17 has symmetrically provided positioning holes 19. Each of the two ends of the L-shaped plate 1 has a positioning rod 20 corresponding to the multiple positioning holes 19. Each of the multiple positioning rods 20 has a positioning ring 21 on its outer end face. The positioning ring 21 and the positioning rod 20 are threaded together. Each of the two protective covers 17 has a reinforcing seat 22 at both the upper and lower ends inside. Multiple reinforcing seats 22 are spaced apart.

[0032] Specifically, the protective cover 17 is installed on both sides of the L-shaped plate 1. The positioning rod 20 and the positioning hole 19 are used for installation and positioning. The positioning ring 21 and the positioning rod 20 are threaded together to lock the installation. The protective cover 17 with the reinforcing seat 22 provides enhanced protection for the inner camera body 3. The internal heat is diffused outward through the heat dissipation hole 18.

[0033] In summary, the overall equipment is in use:

[0034] When in the installation and adjustment state, the rotating plate 4 is rotated and adjusted according to the installation and use environment. After the rotating plate 4 with the mounting plate 5 is rotated and adjusted to a suitable angle relative to the L-shaped plate 1, the limiting rod 9 passes through the through hole 8 and is inserted into the appropriate limiting hole 10. The limiting ring 11 and the limiting rod 9 are threaded together to lock the angle adjustment. After the angle is adjusted to a suitable position, the bolt passes through the first mounting hole 6 to install it in the surrounding environment. When it is necessary to install it in the rear wall or equipment, the bolt passes through the second mounting hole 7 to tighten and fix it in the external environment.

[0035] When the camera body 3 is in the angle adjustment state, the rotating shaft 12 drives the camera body 3 to rotate relative to the through groove 2 for adjustment, which in turn drives the rear connecting rod 13 and the arc plate 14 to rotate and adjust as a whole. After adjusting to a suitable tilt angle, the first threaded hole 15 and the suitable second threaded hole 16 on the arc plate 14 are aligned, and the bolt is passed through and tightened to fix it, which facilitates the tilt angle adjustment of the camera body 3.

[0036] When the protective cover 17 is installed, the protective cover 17 is installed corresponding to the L-shaped plate 1. The positioning rod 20 and the positioning hole 19 are installed and positioned in cooperation. The positioning ring 21 and the positioning rod 20 are locked in a threaded fit. The protective cover 17 with the reinforcing seat 22 provides safety protection for the internal camera body 3. The internal heat is diffused to the outside through the heat dissipation hole 18.

[0037] Of all the solutions mentioned above, those involving the connection between two components can be selected according to the actual situation, such as welding, bolt and nut connection, bolt or screw connection, or other known connection methods, which will not be elaborated here. For all the fixed connections mentioned above, welding is preferred. Although embodiments of this utility model have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this utility model. The scope of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
