[0103] Figure 1 This is a perspective view of an image acquisition device according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 yes Figure 1 A schematic diagram showing the image acquisition device installed on the object. Please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 The image acquisition device 100 of this embodiment includes an image acquisition unit 110 and a bracket 120. The image acquisition unit 110 is mounted on an object 50 via the bracket 120. The image acquisition unit 110 is, for example, a webcam and the object 50 is, for example, a computer screen, but this application is limited thereto.

[0104] Figure 3 yes Figure 1 A 3D view of the support frame. Figure 4 yes Figure 1 A stereoscopic view of the image acquisition unit. Figure 5 yes Figure 1 A side view of the image acquisition device. Figure 6 yes Figure 1 Side view of the bracket. Please refer to... Figures 3 to 6Specifically, the support 120 includes a support body 122, a flipping member 124, and a rotating member 126. The flipping member 124 is pivotally connected to the support body 122 along a first flipping axis A1, such that the first surface S1 of the support body 122 and the second surface S2 of the image acquisition unit 110 are adapted to be relatively unfolded or relatively closed as the flipping member 124 flips relative to the support body 122. The rotating member 126 is pivotally connected to the flipping member 124 along a rotation axis A2 perpendicular to the first flipping axis A1 and protrudes from the first surface S1 of the support body 122. The first flipping axis A1 and the rotation axis A2 are, for example, perpendicular to the optical axis OA of the image acquisition unit 110. In this embodiment, the flipping member 124 and the rotating member 126 are, for example, platform-shaped and located at the front end of the support body 122; however, this application is not limited thereto, and in other embodiments, the flipping member 124 and the rotating member 126 may be of other shapes according to design requirements. Furthermore, the position of the first flip axis A1 may correspond to the front end of the flip member 124 and the bracket body 122, but this application is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the position of the first flip axis A1 may be changed according to design requirements.

[0105] The image acquisition unit 110 has a recess 110a formed on the second surface S2 and is detachably connected to the rotating member 126 by the mutual engagement of the recess 110a and the rotating member 126. The second surface S2 is, for example, a plane, and the recess 110a is formed, for example, near the center of the plane. The recess 110a is, for example, rectangular, and the rotating member 126 is correspondingly rectangular, but this application is not limited thereto. The image acquisition unit 110 has, for example, a magnet and is connected to the rotating member 126 by the magnetic attraction between the magnet and the rotating member 126, the structure of the rotating member 126 corresponding to the magnetic attraction will be described in detail later. In other embodiments, the image acquisition unit 110 can be connected to the rotating member 126 by other detachable assembly methods, and this application is not limited thereto.

[0106] In the above configuration, the bracket 120 can adjust the rotation angle of the image acquisition unit 110 along the first rotation axis A1 by flipping the flipping member 124, and can also adjust the rotation angle of the image acquisition unit 110 along the rotation axis A2 by rotating the rotating member 126. Furthermore, the image acquisition unit 110 has a recess 110a corresponding to the rotating member 126, allowing the rotating member 126 to be embedded and hidden within the recess 110a. Therefore, this embodiment can maintain the overall compact appearance of the image acquisition device 100 while providing multi-directional angle adjustment functionality. In addition, compared to snap-fit ​​or screw-locking methods, magnetic adsorption of the image acquisition unit 110 and the rotating member 126 avoids structural damage caused by long-term disassembly and assembly, and offers the advantage of quick disassembly and assembly compared to snap-fit ​​installation methods.

[0107] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the support body 122 of this embodiment includes a first frame 1221 and a second frame 1222. The first frame 1221 and the second frame 1222 have a generally rectangular shape. The thickness of the second frame 1222 is slightly greater than the thickness of the first frame 1221. The first frame 1221 and the second frame 1222, for example, have approximately the same width and length, but this application is not limited thereto. The first frame 1221 and the second frame 1222 are pivotally connected to each other along a second rotation axis A3 parallel to the first rotation axis A1, allowing the first frame 1221 and the second frame 1222 to rotate relative to each other along the second rotation axis A3. The second rotation axis A3 and the second rotation axis A1 are, for example, located at opposite ends of the first frame 1221. A flipping member 124 and a rotating member 126 are disposed on the first frame 1221. The object 50 is adapted as follows... Figure 2 The device is shown to be clamped between the first frame 1121 and the second frame 1122. Further, the first frame 1121 includes a main body M and a bent portion C, the bent portion C being connected to the main body M near the first rotation axis A1 and bent relative to the main body M. Accordingly, the first frame 1221 can be... Figure 2 As shown, it is securely attached to object 50 by the mutual stop between the bent portion C and object 50. Furthermore, please refer to... Figure 5 and Figure 6 In this embodiment, the first frame 1221 of the support body 122 has a protrusion P, which is adapted to support the image acquisition unit 110. Accordingly, when the flipping member 124 and the rotating member 126 correspond to the front half of the image acquisition unit 110, the rear half of the image acquisition device 110 is supported by the protrusion P, which prevents the image acquisition device 110 from tilting backward, so that the optical axis OA of the image acquisition device 110 is parallel to the first surface S1 of the first frame 1221.

[0108] Figure 7 yes Figure 1 An exploded view of the support structure. Please refer to the diagram. Figure 6 and Figure 7 The bracket 120 in this embodiment includes a first abutment layer 121 and a second abutment layer 123. The first abutment layer 121 is disposed on the first frame 1221 and is adapted to contact the object 50 (shown in the figure). Figure 2 The first abutment layer 121 is made of, for example, rubber, so that the first frame 1221 can be securely attached to the object 50 by means of its high friction and elastic deformation properties. The second abutment layer 123 is disposed on the second frame 1222 and is adapted to contact the object 50 (shown in...). Figure 2The second abutment layer 123 is made of, for example, rubber, so that the second frame 1222 can be securely attached to the object 50 by means of its high friction and elastic deformation characteristics. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the first abutment layer 121 is disposed over a large area on one side of the first frame 1221 for attaching to the object 50, and the second abutment layer 123 is disposed over a large area on one side of the second frame 1222 for attaching to the object 50. Therefore, the bracket 120 can be securely mounted on various types of objects 50 through the surface contact between the first abutment layer 121 and the object 50 and the line contact between the second abutment layer 123 and the object 50.

[0109] Please refer to Figure 7 The first abutment layer 121 includes a first section 121a and a second section 121b. The first section 121a corresponds to the main body M of the first frame 1221, and the second section 121b corresponds to the bent portion C of the first frame 1221. Specifically, the first section 121a and the second section 121b are bent relative to each other and are respectively attached to the main body M and the bent portion C by means of, for example, adhesive bonding.

[0110] Figure 8 Draw Figure 7 The first contact layer is in its unbent state. Please refer to... Figure 8 The first abutment layer 121 has multiple stress-reducing structures at the junction of the first segment 121a and the second segment 121b, specifically two cutting marks 1211 and a slot 1212 located between the two cutting marks 1211. The first segment 121a and the second segment 121b are adapted to bend relative to each other by means of these stress-reducing structures. Accordingly, the first abutment layer 121 does not need to be molded into a one-piece L-shaped structure, thus saving manufacturing costs. Furthermore, by forming the slot 1212 at the junction of the first segment 121a and the second segment 121b, the first segment 121a and the second segment 121b are less prone to stress concentration, delamination, or warping after being bent relative to each other. In addition, the slot 1212, as Figure 7 The diagram corresponds to the flipper 124, so that the flipper 124, protruding from the inside of the first frame 1221, can pass through the slot 1212 without structurally interfering with the first abutment layer 121. In this embodiment, each cutting mark 1211 is a segment line and does not connect to the edge of the slot 1212 and the first abutment layer 121, thereby enabling the first segment 121a and the second segment 121b to be strongly connected and the first abutment layer 121 as a whole to easily and smoothly fit into the first frame 1221.

[0111] On the other hand, the second frame 1222, as Figure 7The second abutment layer 123 has a curved surface 1222A, and its curved section 123a corresponds to the curved surface 1222A of the second frame 1222, such that the second abutment layer 123 is disposed on the second frame 1222 in a manner conforming to the shape of the second frame 1222. In this embodiment, the second abutment layer 123 is glued to the second frame 1222 only in sections other than the curved section 123a, and the curved section 123a is not glued to the second frame 1222, to avoid the curved section 123a from delaminating or warping due to stress concentration.

[0112] Figure 9 Draw Figure 7 The second abutment layer is not yet bent. Figure 10 yes Figure 9 Cross-sectional view of the second abutment layer along line II. Second frame 1222 as shown... Figure 7 The diagram shows a bump B, and a second abutment layer 123 as shown. Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, a groove R is provided at a position corresponding to the curved section 123a. A protrusion B is used to engage with the groove R so that the second abutment layer 123 is in the curved section 123a (indicated by...). Figure 7 The groove R can be securely attached to the second frame 1222. In other embodiments, the groove R can be a slot that extends through the curved section 123a, so that the curved section 123a is fitted onto the protrusion B of the second frame 1222 through the slot.

[0113] The following details the structure and assembly method of the bracket in this embodiment.

[0114] Figure 11 yes Figure 1 An exploded view of some components of the support structure. Please refer to... Figure 11 In this embodiment, the rotating component 126 includes a rotating component body 1261, a rotating shaft 1262, a metal sheet 1263, and a buffer layer 1264. The rotating shaft 1262 is pivotally connected to the flipping component 124 along the rotation axis A2. The rotating component body 1261 is, for example, rectangular and is fixed to the rotating shaft 1262 by a locking attachment L1 (for example, a screw). The metal sheet 1263 is, for example, rectangular and contains a magnetically attractive material, and is fixed to the rotating component body 1261 by a locking attachment L2 (for example, a screw). Image acquisition unit 110 (shown in...) Figure 1For example, a magnet is provided inside the rotating component 1263, so that the rotating component 126 can be detachably connected to the image acquisition unit 110 by the magnetic attraction between the magnet and the metal sheet 1263. In this embodiment, the metal sheet 1263 is, for example, a steel sheet or an iron sheet, but this application is not limited to this. The buffer layer 1264 is, for example, a rectangular rubber sheet glued to the metal sheet 1263 and used to contact the image acquisition unit 110, so as to provide a buffering effect between the metal sheet 1263 and the image acquisition unit 110 to prevent the metal sheet 1263 from making hard contact with the image acquisition unit 110 during rotation or disassembly, thus avoiding scratches or damage.

The pivot assembly 1243 includes a first bracket 1243a, two second brackets 1243b, and a pivot 1243c. The first bracket 1243a is pivotally connected to the pivot 1243c along the first flipping axis A1 via its shaft portion F and is fixed between the flipping component body 1241 and the cover 1242 by a locking accessory L3 (e.g., a screw). The two second brackets 1243b are respectively disposed at opposite ends of the pivot 1243c and fixed to the first bracket 1221 (shown in the figure). Figure 11 The front end is near the bend C. Thus, the flipping member 124 can be flipped relative to the first frame 1221 along the first flipping axis A1 via the pivot assembly 1243.

The first housing 1221b is fixed to the first support body 1221a by a locking accessory L4 (e.g., a screw). The first support body 1221a has an opening H1, and the first housing 1221b has a recess N corresponding to the opening H1. The second bracket 1243b of the flipping member 124 is fixed to the first support body 1221a by a screw or other suitable means, so that the flipping member 124 can tilt forward relative to the first support 1221 with the second bracket 1243b and the pivot 1243c as the pivot and fulcrum. The second bracket 1243b is covered by the first housing 1221b, and the flip-up body 1241 and cover 1242 (marked as follows) Figure 12It is located in the configuration space formed by the opening H1 and the notch N.

Figure 19 The difference between the illustrated embodiment and the foregoing embodiment is that, Figure 19 The flipper 124' shown does not include Figure 12 and Figure 13The embodiment shown includes a flipper body 1241 and a cover 1242, but only a pivot assembly 1243. Since the flipper 124' is embedded in the openings N and H1, even without the flipper body 1241 and the cover 1242, the exposed pivot assembly 1243 of the flipper 124' is not too obtrusive, thus maintaining the aesthetic appearance of this application.

[0120] In summary, in the image acquisition device of this application, the bracket can adjust the flip angle of the image acquisition unit along the first flip axis by flipping the flipping member, and can also adjust the rotation angle of the image acquisition unit along the rotation axis by rotating the rotating member. Furthermore, the image acquisition unit has a recess corresponding to the rotating member, allowing the rotating member to be embedded and hidden within the recess. Therefore, this application can maintain the overall compact appearance of the image acquisition device while providing multi-directional angle adjustment functionality.
