Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a magnetically attached camera module and computer terminal equipment that can be adjusted at multiple angles. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of information technology, video communication plays an increasingly important role in daily work, study and life. Whether it is remote conferencing, online education or smart home monitoring, the performance and ease of use of the camera, as the core component of information collection, directly affect the user experience. Traditional integrated cameras are usually fixed above the display screen (5) or inside the device, with a fixed viewing angle, which cannot be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs, making it difficult to meet the shooting needs in diverse scenarios.

[0003] To improve the applicability and flexibility of cameras, some products have begun to adopt external adjustable camera modules. However, most existing adjustable cameras use a single-axis rotation structure, which can only achieve limited adjustment in the pitch or horizontal direction, resulting in low degrees of freedom and an inability to achieve flexible positioning from multiple angles and in all directions. In addition, some detachable cameras have insufficient connection stability after installation, and are prone to loosening or falling off, affecting the safety of use and the stability of imaging. At the same time, the connection between the camera (3-3) and the terminal device mostly relies on physical clips or threaded fasteners, making installation and disassembly cumbersome and resulting in a poor user experience.

[0004] In recent years, magnetic connection technology has been widely used in electronic device components due to its advantages such as convenient installation and rapid disassembly. However, camera modules that combine magnetic structures with multi-degree-of-freedom adjustment mechanisms still suffer from problems such as unreasonable structural design, unstable positioning after adjustment, and uneven rotational damping. Especially during multi-angle adjustment, due to the lack of effective limiting and locking structures, the camera is prone to displacement due to its own weight or external forces, affecting the shooting effect.

[0037] (Example 1)

[0038] See Figure 3-8 The magnetically attached camera module adjustable at multiple angles in this embodiment includes a camera base 1, a connecting seat 2, and a camera body 3. The connecting seat 2 is provided with a first rotating shaft 2-1 and a second rotating shaft 2-2. The connecting seat 2 is rotatably connected to the camera base 1 with the axis of the first rotating shaft 2-1 as the center. The camera body 3 is rotatably connected to the connecting seat 2 with the axis of the second rotating shaft 2-2 as the center. The first rotating shaft 2-1 and the second rotating shaft 2-2 are perpendicular to each other.

[0039] The camera body (3) includes a front housing 3-1, a rear housing 3-2 and a camera 3-3. The front housing 3-1 and the rear housing 3-2 are detachably connected by screws. There are two cameras 3-3, which are fixed on the front housing 3-1 and the rear housing 3-2 respectively. They can achieve synchronous or independent shooting from both front and rear perspectives, and are suitable for application scenarios that require multi-angle monitoring or a combination of self-portrait and environmental shooting.

[0040] The front housing 3-1 is provided with a first baffle 3-1-1 perpendicular to the axis of the second rotating shaft 2-2, and the first baffle 3-1-1 is provided with a first arc groove 3-1-1-1 that cooperates with the second rotating shaft 2-2; the rear housing 3-2 is provided with a second baffle 3-2-1 perpendicular to the axis of the second rotating shaft 2-2, and the second baffle 3-2-1 is provided with a second arc groove 3-2-1-1 that cooperates with the second rotating shaft 2-2.

[0041] The first baffle 3-1-1 at least partially overlaps the second baffle 3-2-1 along the axial projection surface of the second rotating shaft 2-2, so as to ensure that after the front housing 3-1 and the rear housing 3-2 are fixed by screws, a hole is formed between the first arc groove 3-1-1-1 and the second arc groove 3-2-1-1 for the second rotating shaft 2-2 to pass through, and the entire camera body 3 can be installed on the second rotating shaft 2-2 and rotate around the axis of the second rotating shaft 2-2.

[0042] A clamping assembly is provided between the connecting seat 2 and the camera body 3 to restrict rotation between them. Specifically, the clamping assembly includes a third baffle 3-2-2 on the front housing 3-1 or the rear housing 3-2, and an elastic wall 2-3 on the connecting seat 2 corresponding to the third baffle 3-2-2. The third baffle 3-2-2 is parallel to the first baffle 3-1-1, and the elastic wall 2-3 has a protrusion 2-3-1 that abuts against the third baffle 3-2-2. This clamping assembly between the connecting seat 2 and the camera body 3 allows for secure clamping at any adjustable angle, preventing the camera body 3 from shifting due to gravity or vibration. It is easy to operate and highly stable.

[0043] The upper surface of the camera base 1 has a through hole for the first rotating shaft 2-1 to pass through. A limiting block 2-1-1 extends radially outward on the outer surface of the first rotating shaft 2-1. A groove 2-1-2 is formed axially on the side wall of the first rotating shaft 2-1 near the camera base 1 to allow deformation of the area where the limiting block 2-1-1 is located. A ring of bosses 2-1-3 is provided on the outer side wall of the first rotating shaft 2-1, the diameter of which is larger than the diameter of the through hole. The design of the elastic limiting block 2-1-1 of the first rotating shaft 2-1 facilitates the insertion and installation of the connecting seat 2 and the camera base 1. Combined with the through hole and boss 2-1-3 structure, it ensures a stable connection with the camera base 1, improving the reliability and safety of the connection, and ensuring that the camera 3-3 maintains a stable posture even after multi-angle adjustments.

[0044] In this embodiment, by setting a first rotating shaft 2-1 and a second rotating shaft 2-2 that are perpendicular to each other, the camera body 3 can be adjusted at multiple angles, including pitch and yaw. Users can adjust the shooting angle of the camera 3-3 according to their actual needs. The viewing angle adjustment range is wide and the adaptability is strong.

A communication interface 5-2-1 is provided in the groove 5-2, and a plug 1-2 matching the communication interface 5-2-1 is provided on the camera base 1. Specifically, a Pogo pin female connector is provided in the groove 5-2, and a Pogo pin male connector is provided on the camera base 1. When the magnetic camera 3-3 is installed, they are attracted together by magnets. At the same time, the groove 5-2 is used to position the camera base 1, and the Pogo pin interface is used to realize the transmission of signals and current.
