Among them, cameras belong to image acquisition terminals and are suitable for mobile scenarios such as logistics scanning, product traceability, and on-site evidence collection.

[0003] A camera is a common security device in daily life, and its function is to collect data such as images and videos.

[0004] In existing technologies, cameras mostly rely on fixed brackets, screws, or special bases for installation. They can only be used on flat, hard surfaces such as walls and tables, and cannot be stably fixed in special environments such as metal parts and glass. At the same time, devices that are fixed with traditional screws or strong adhesives are prone to damage to the surface of the installation area when disassembled, and it is difficult to quickly transfer them to a new scene for re-fixing after disassembly, which affects the efficiency of data collection in multiple locations. In view of this, we propose a portable data collection terminal. Utility Model Content

[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0028] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3This utility model provides a portable data acquisition terminal, including a camera housing 1. A base 19 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the camera housing 1. A groove 20 is provided at the bottom of the base 19 to accommodate components such as a movable ball 8 and a magnet 6 connecting block 10. The movable ball 8 is snapped into the inner wall of the base 19. A connecting block 10 is fixedly connected to the front end of the movable ball 8, and a magnet 6 is fixedly connected to the front end of the connecting block 10. The movable ball 8, the magnet 6, and the connecting block 10 are fixedly connected to each other to ensure that the movable ball 8 and the magnet 6 connecting block 10 will not fall off when fixed on a flat surface or during storage. The outer arc surface of the movable ball 8 has a cross groove 18, which helps to limit the movement when using or storing the magnet 6. A limit plate 13 is inserted into the left side of the cross groove 18. A movable rod 2 is fixedly connected to the left end of the limit plate 13. The position of the limit plate 13 can be controlled by pulling the movable rod 2. A fixed ring 12 is fixedly connected to the outer arc surface of the movable rod 2. A return spring 11 is fixedly connected to the end of the fixed ring 12 away from the limit plate 13. When the movable rod 2 is released, the movable rod 2 will be subjected to the elastic force provided by the return spring 11, so that the movable rod 2 returns to the cross groove 18.

[0029] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 The camera housing 1 has a battery slot on its outer curved surface, and a battery cover 3 is hinged to the outer curved surface of the camera housing 1, freeing the camera from the constraints of an external power source. A threaded groove is provided at the end of the magnet 6 away from the movable ball 8 to ensure the suction cup 4 is fixed to the magnet 6. A storage slot is provided on the outer curved surface of the base 19, and a storage cover 9 is hinged to the outer curved surface of the base 19. When the suction cup 4 is not needed, it can be placed into the storage slot. The inner wall of the base 19 is slidably connected to the fixing ring 12, and the inner wall of the base 19 is connected to the movable rod 2. The base 19 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the spring 11. The base 19 limits the movement of the fixed ring 12, the movable rod 2, and the spring 11. Limiting pads 7 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the groove 20. The inner wall of the base 19 is in contact with the outer arc surface of the magnet 6. The length of the inner wall of the groove 20 is the same as the diameter of the magnet 6. The limiting pad 7 is triangular, and the inclined surface of the limiting pad 7 is arc-shaped. Therefore, the magnet 6 can be limited when it is stored in the groove 20 through the arc surface of the limiting pad 7. The limiting pad 7 is made of rubber.

[0030] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 8A threaded rod 14 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the magnet 6, and the threaded rod 14 is fixed inside the magnet 6 through the threaded connection. A suction cup 4 is fixedly connected to the end of the threaded rod 14 away from the magnet 6, so that the suction cup 4 is fixed in front of the magnet 6. A stabilizing ring 17 is fixedly connected to the outer arc surface of the suction cup 4, and a venting column 5 is slidably connected to the inner arc surface of the stabilizing ring 17 to limit the venting column 5. The venting column 5 and the stabilizing ring 17 always maintain a seal. An air release groove 16 is opened at the top of the venting column 5, which makes it easy to remove the suction cup 4. A return spring 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the venting column 5. After the device is removed from the fixed position, the return spring 15 will return the venting column 5 to its original position by its elastic force.

[0031] Reference Figure 7 The end of the stabilizing ring 17 away from the suction cup 4 is fixedly connected to the return spring 15 to limit the return spring 15. The top of the vent column 5 is provided with a circular protrusion, which cooperates with the stabilizing ring 17 to limit the vent column 5. The venting groove 16 is set in a T-shape so that when the vent column 5 is pressed, outside air can enter the inside of the suction cup 4, thereby releasing the suction state of the suction cup 4.

[0032] Working principle: When fixing to a magnetic surface, pull the movable rod 2 to disengage the limiting plate 13 from the cross groove 18, then pull down the magnet 6 to disengage it from the limiting pad 7. After the magnet 6 rotates 90 degrees counterclockwise, release the movable rod 2, allowing it to be pushed by the spring force, inserting the limiting plate 13 into the cross groove 18. The limiting plate 13 connected to the movable rod 2 will then re-engage in the cross groove 18. If fixing to a non-magnetic surface is required, thread the threaded rod 14 into the threaded hole on the inner wall of the magnet 6, and the suction cup 4 will be fixed there. The magnet 6 is used to attach the suction cup 4 to the flat surface. When disassembly is required, the vent column 5 is pressed, and the vent groove 16 enters the lower part of the suction cup 4, allowing air to circulate into the suction cup 4. The suction cup 4 can then be released from its attachment state. When not in use, the suction cup 4 can be stored in the storage slot. The storage cover 9 is used to limit the suction cup 4 in the suction cup slot. The camera housing 1 has a battery slot. The battery cover 3 is used to limit the battery in the battery slot, so that the device can collect image information by means of battery power.

[0033] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
