Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of camera auxiliary installation equipment technology, and in particular to a camera mounting bracket and a conference video system. Background Technology

[0002] In modern office systems, to meet the needs of online meetings, it is generally necessary to equip meeting rooms with online camera systems so that people in different physical locations can participate in meetings online. Existing meeting rooms typically have conference display screens (such as smart TVs or smart screens), some of which have cameras to record meeting participants. However, most may not have cameras, necessitating the addition of additional cameras to the existing display screens. Current technology allows placing the camera on the conference table, but this makes it difficult to cover participants on either side of the table. Therefore, moving the camera above the display screen provides a better shooting angle. Specifically, a clamp can be used to connect the camera, which is then clamped onto the display screen. However, this may cause pressure and damage to the display screen, especially on narrow-bezel displays where the clamp may directly contact the screen. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a camera mounting bracket that solves the problem that installing a camera on a conference display screen may damage the screen.

[0004] According to an embodiment, a camera mounting bracket is provided, comprising a vertically arranged vertical plate and a horizontal plate fixed at a right angle to its upper end. The horizontal plate has an end facing away from the vertical plate, and a mounting base is fixedly connected to the end of the horizontal plate. A sliding groove extends laterally within the end of the horizontal plate facing away from the mounting base. A sliding rod is fixedly connected within the sliding groove, and a connecting rod extending outward from the sliding groove is slidably connected to the sliding rod. A stop plate is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod facing away from the sliding rod. A spring is also arranged around the sliding rod within the sliding groove. The horizontal plate, vertical plate, and stop plate together form a T-structure, which allows the camera to be placed between the conference display screen and the wall. The camera can be mounted more stably on the horizontal plate. The horizontal plate, vertical plate, and other structures do not contact the screen and do not compress the screen, thus preventing screen damage. This solves the problem in the prior art where installing a camera on a conference display screen may cause screen damage.

[0005] Furthermore, a horizontally telescopic crossbar is also provided on the vertical plate, with one end of the crossbar fixedly connected to the bottom plate.

[0006] Furthermore, the crossbar includes two diagonally downward-sloping crossbars on either side of the connecting bar.

[0007] Furthermore, a pair of sliding holes are provided through the vertical plate, and the two horizontal bars are slidably connected to the two sliding holes respectively.

[0008] Furthermore, a cover plate covering the sliding groove can be detachably installed on the horizontal plate. The connecting rod slides through the cover plate and is also fixedly connected to a sliding block located in the sliding groove. The sliding block is slidably sleeved on the sliding rod.

[0009] Furthermore, the spring and cover plate are arranged on both sides of the sliding block.

[0010] Furthermore, the horizontal plate is also provided with a through groove that connects the inside and outside of the sliding groove.

[0011] Furthermore, the cover plate and the cross plate are connected by screws.

[0012] According to an embodiment, a conference camera system is also provided, which includes the camera mounting bracket described above, and a conference camera is also mounted on the mounting bracket.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: The horizontal, vertical, and backing plates can form a T-structure, allowing the camera to be placed between the conference display screen and the wall. The camera can be mounted more stably on the horizontal plate, and the horizontal and vertical plates will not contact the screen or put pressure on it, thus preventing screen damage. This solves the problem of screen damage that may occur when installing a camera on a conference display screen in existing technologies. Attached Figure Description

[0015] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0016] like Figure 1-3As shown, this embodiment provides a conference video system, which includes a camera mounting bracket. The mounting bracket includes a vertically arranged vertical plate 2 and a horizontal plate 3 fixed at a right angle to its upper end. The horizontal plate 3 has an end facing away from the vertical plate 2, and a mounting base 4 is fixedly connected to the end. A camera 1 is mounted on the mounting base 4 (the camera 1 and the mounting base 4 can be connected by a screw). A sliding groove 5 is provided laterally in the end of the horizontal plate 3 facing away from the mounting base 4. A sliding rod 6 is fixedly connected in the sliding groove 5, and a connecting rod 7 extending outward from the sliding groove 5 is slidably connected to the sliding rod 6. A stop plate 8 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod 7 facing away from the sliding rod 6. The stop plate 8 is arranged parallel to the vertical plate 2. A spring 9 located in the sliding groove 5 is also arranged around the sliding rod 6. The spring 9 is always in a compressed state, that is, when the stop plate 8 and the horizontal plate 3 have the maximum distance (i.e., when the distance between them is at its maximum). Figure 2 As shown), and when they are at their minimum distance (i.e., when they are touching), and when they are in the middle position (i.e., when they are touching). Figure 3 As shown), springs 9 are all in a compressed state to provide elasticity so that the abutment plate 8 can be pressed firmly against the wall 10 (in the prior art, the conference display screen 11 is generally installed on the wall 10 by a mounting bracket 12). In this way, the vertical plate 2, the horizontal plate 3 and the abutment plate 8 form a T-shaped structure to obtain a mounting bracket. The mounting bracket is placed between the conference display screen 11 and the wall 10. The mounting seat 4 on the horizontal plate 3 can provide a more stable mounting base for the camera 1. The horizontal plate 3 rests against the top surface of the conference display screen 11 and the vertical plate 2 rests against the back. Therefore, the horizontal plate 3, the vertical plate 2 and other structures will not contact the screen and will not squeeze the screen, thus preventing damage to the screen. This solves the problem that the installation of the camera 1 on the conference display screen 11 may damage the screen in the prior art. At the same time, the abutment plate 8 and the horizontal plate 3 are telescopic and springs 9 are also provided, so that this system can adapt to different distances between the conference display screen 11 and the wall 10, as long as the abutment plate 8 and the vertical plate 2 can be smoothly inserted between the conference display screen 11 and the wall 10.

[0017] To further improve system stability, such as Figure 1-3 As shown, a horizontal sliding hole 13 is provided on the vertical plate 2, and a crossbar 14 is slidably installed through the sliding hole 13. One end of the crossbar 14 is also fixedly connected to the back plate 8. In this way, the crossbar 14 can provide guidance when the back plate 8 is extended or retracted, making the extension and retraction more stable. At the same time, the crossbar 14 also provides a connecting base below, which can further improve the overall stability. Furthermore, the sliding hole 13 and the crossbar 14 can be two sets arranged diagonally below the two sides of the connecting rod 7. In this way, the two crossbars 14 and the connecting rod 7 form a triangular structure, which can further improve the system stability. At the same time, the crossbar 14 has an end located in the sliding hole 13 throughout the extension and retraction of the back plate 8, so as to avoid direct contact between it and the back of the conference display screen 11.

[0018] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the sliding groove 5 has an opening that connects to the end face of the horizontal plate 3. A cover plate 15 covering the sliding groove 5 can also be detachably installed on the horizontal plate 3. The sliding rod 6 can abut against the cover plate 15 (e.g., a notch is provided on the cover plate 15 for the end of the sliding rod 6 to abut). The connecting rod 7 slides through the cover plate 15 and is also fixedly connected to a sliding block 16 located in the sliding groove 5. The sliding block 16 is slidably sleeved on the sliding rod 6, that is, the cover plate 15 provides sliding support for the connecting rod 7. At the same time, the end of the sliding rod 6 is connected to the sliding rod 6 through the sliding block 16, so that the abutment plate 8 can be relatively To achieve more stable extension and retraction, the spring 9 and the cover plate 15 are positioned on both sides of the sliding block 16. In this way, the spring 9 can provide elastic force in the sliding groove 5 so that the abutment plate 8 can be pressed against the wall 10. Furthermore, the horizontal plate 3 is also provided with a through groove 17 connecting the inside and outside of the sliding groove 5 to ensure that the sliding groove 5 is always connected to the outside. At the same time, the cover plate 15 and the horizontal plate 3 are detachably connected by screws 18 (the upper end is connected to the horizontal plate 3 by screws 18, and the lower end is abutted against the sliding rod 6 by the abutment groove, so the cover plate 15 is also relatively more stable). This also facilitates the inspection and maintenance of the structure of the sliding groove 5.
