Several connecting rods 206 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the slot 212. Each locking block 210 has a second resistance spring 211 fixedly connected to its outer wall. The inner wall of the mounting box 201 is equipped with a shock-absorbing mechanism 3. The movement of the fixed block 208 pushes the two locking blocks 210 to press against the second resistance spring 211 inside the locking groove 212. The elasticity of the second resistance spring 211 automatically pushes the locking blocks 210 to lock against the fixed block 208. A limit rod 207 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the shelf 1. A limit groove 209 is formed on the inner wall of the connecting rod 206. The inner wall of the limit groove 209 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the limit rod 207. Through the limit... While the positioning rod 207 moves along the inside of the limiting groove 209, it pushes the connecting rod 206 to limit the movement range of the connecting rod 206. The outer wall of the extension block 202 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the slide groove 203. The inner wall of the slot 212 is inserted into the outer wall of the fixing block 208. The slot 212 facilitates the insertion of the fixing block 208 into the inside of the extension block 202. The outer wall of the locking block 210 is engaged with the inner wall of the fixing block 208. The outer wall of the fixing block 208 is engaged with the inner wall of the extension block 202. The fixing block 208 is used to hold the extension block 202 in place, thereby fixing the position of the mounting box 201.

[0021] The shock absorption mechanism 3 includes a rubber positioning block 301. The outer wall of the rubber positioning block 301 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting box 201. The rubber positioning block 301 is used to limit the position of the camera 302. The camera 302, model Sony FCB-CR8530, is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rubber positioning block 301.

It has wide dynamic range and high brightness suppression functions, can handle high contrast scenes, and also has fog penetration and day / night switching functions to adapt to various complex monitoring environments. Several first dampers 303 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting box 201. A connecting plate 305 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first damper 303 away from the mounting box 201. The first damper 303 is used to relieve the pressure of the mounting box 201 on the camera 302. The outer wall of the connecting plate 305 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the camera 302. The outer wall of the first damper 303 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first spring 304. The first damper 303 is pre-set to automatically compress the outer first spring 304 when it is squeezed. The elasticity of the first spring 304 increases the pressure relief ability of the first damper 303. The outer wall of the first spring 304 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting plate 305. Several connecting blocks 306 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting plate 305.

[0022] A support rod 307 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of several connecting blocks 306. A first slider 308 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the end of the support rod 307 away from the connecting block 306. As the support rod 307 rotates around the outer side of the connecting block 306, it pushes the first slider 308 to move along the outer side of the mounting box 201. The outer wall of the first slider 308 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the mounting box 201. A number of second dampers 309 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting block 306. A second spring 310 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the second dampers 309. The movement of the first slider 308 pulls the second damper 309 and the second spring 310 between two first sliders 308, using the second damper 309 and the second spring 310 to relieve the pressure when the first slider 308 moves. A positioning device is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the support rod 307. A second slider 312 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the positioning rod 311 away from the support rod 307. As the positioning rod 311 rotates around the inside of the support rod 307, it pushes the second slider 312 to move along the outside of the connecting plate 305, thereby supporting the connecting plate 305. The outer wall of the second slider 312 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the connecting plate 305. Several sliding rods 313 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting plate 305. The outer wall of the sliding rods 313 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the second slider 312, thereby limiting the movement range of the second slider 312. A damping spring 314 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sliding rods 313. The outer wall of the damping spring 314 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the second slider 312, thereby relieving the pressure on the second slider 312 during movement using the elasticity of the damping spring 314.

[0023] One specific application of this embodiment is: When the equipment is needed, the camera 302 is placed inside the mounting box 201 beforehand. Two rubber positioning blocks 301 inside the mounting box 201 restrict the position of the camera 302. The size of the camera 302 pushes two connecting plates 305 towards the inner wall of the mounting box 201 closest to the connecting plates 305, causing them to compress multiple first dampers 303 to relieve pressure on the connecting plates 305. The first dampers 303 are pre-set so that when compressed, they automatically compress the outer first spring 304. The first spring 304 and the first dampers 303 relieve pressure on the connecting plates 305. The movement of the connecting plates 305 pushes the connecting block 306 to move. The direction of movement of the connecting block 306 is the same as the direction of movement of the connecting plate 305 it contacts. The movement directions are the same, and the support rod 307 rotates around the connecting block 306 towards the connecting block 305 closest to the connecting block 306, while pushing the first slider 308 to move along the inside of the mounting box 201 towards the rubber extrusion block 301 closest to the first slider 308. The same applies to the other side. The movement of the two first sliders 308 pulls the second damper 309 in the middle of the first sliders 308, and the second damper 309 is pre-set to automatically stretch the outer second spring 310 when extended. The second damper 309 and the second spring 310 relieve the pressure generated by the first slider 308. The rotation of the support rod 307 pushes the positioning rod 311 to rotate around the inside of the support rod 307, and the rotation direction of the support rod 307 is towards the direction away from the nearest connecting plate 305. At the same time, it pushes the second slider 312 to move, and the movement direction of the second slider 312 is the same as the movement direction of the first slider 308 on the same side. The sliding rod 313 limits the movement range of the second slider 312. As the second slider 312 moves along the outside of the slide bar 313, it pulls the damping spring 314 on the outside of the slide bar 313. The elasticity of the damping spring 314 relieves the pressure generated by the second slider 312 and the pressure generated by the connecting plate 305 on the camera 302. Then, the extension blocks 202 on both sides of the mounting box 201 are aligned with the pre-cut grooves 203 inside the shelf 1. Then, the two extension blocks 202 are inserted into the two grooves 203 at the same time, and the mounting box 201 is inserted into the shelf 1. During the movement, the positioning block 205 inside the slide 203 is pushed to move away from the extension block 202 it is in contact with. At the same time, the first resistance spring 204 on the rear side of the positioning block 205 is squeezed. The movement of the positioning block 205 pushes the connecting rod 206 to rotate around the interior of the positioning block 205. The connecting rod 206 rotates in the direction of the positioning block 205 and pushes the fixing block 208 to insert into the slot 212 opened inside the extension block 202, thus locking the extension block 202. The same applies to the other side.During the insertion of the fixing block 208 into the slot 212, the two locking blocks 210 are pushed closer together, and simultaneously the two locking blocks 210 compress the second resistance spring 211 in the middle. The elasticity of the second resistance spring 211 pushes the locking blocks 210 back to their original positions, allowing them to insert into the fixing block 208, thus locking the fixing block 208 in place. Simultaneously, the rotation of the connecting rod 206 causes the limiting rod 207 to move along the inside of the limiting groove 209 towards 208, limiting the movement range of the connecting rod 206. At this time, the mounting box 201 is fixed inside the shelf 1, utilizing the camera 302 inside the mounting box 201. The system monitors the position and quantity of goods on the shelf in real time. When inspection is required, the mounting box 201 can be pulled away from shelf 1, causing the extension block 202 to move and press against the locking block 210 and the fixing block 208. Simultaneously, the extension block 202 moves in the same direction as the mounting box 201. Continuous outward movement of the fixing block 208 will press the locking block 210 downward, moving it away from the fixing block 208, allowing the fixing block 208 to move freely. Furthermore, the movement of the extension block 202 will release the elasticity of the first resistance spring 204 on the rear side of the positioning block 205, pushing the positioning block 205 back to its original position and pulling the fixing block 208 back to its original position, thus preventing the fixing block 208 from jamming the extension block 202.
