Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronic product technology, and in particular to a split-type downlight-mounted camera. Background Technology

[0002] Cameras are very common in our daily lives. In some places, especially in important places, cameras are used every day. Sometimes, the angle and distance of the camera need to be changed, so cameras sometimes need to be installed on tracks to facilitate their movement. How to ensure that cameras installed on tracks can move flexibly and conveniently is a problem that camera manufacturers need to solve.

[0003] Recessed lights are widely used in the commercial sector. They can be recessed into the ceiling, their concealed design enhancing the overall aesthetics. Therefore, they are used for lighting in shops of all sizes. Meanwhile, security cameras are also indispensable in commercial establishments. Currently, recessed lights and security cameras exist as two independent entities on the market, yet both are essential. Each requires at least two installation locations, compromising the overall ceiling layout and necessitating two drilling operations, making installation relatively complex. Furthermore, camera installation requires pre-installed wiring, resulting in poor flexibility and messy wiring. Therefore, simplifying the camera installation process and standardizing wiring are issues that those skilled in the art need to consider. Utility Model Content

[0027] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments:

[0028] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model is applied to the installation of a camera, integrating the camera into a ceiling downlight via a connecting assembly. It can also be installed in other suitable locations for downlight installation. The circuits of the downlight and the camera are connected together to a power source; a connector is attached to a mounting plate; the mounting plate is fitted onto the downlight, which is connected to the target panel and fixed to it using a bracket. At this point, the mounting plate is also fixedly connected to the target panel; the camera is connected to the connector, and the mounting plate is further fixed to the target panel using screws through the first through-hole, completing the installation of the downlight and camera. Taking the ceiling as an example, the specific details are as follows:

[0029] A split-type downlight-mounted camera, camera 1 connected to downlight 3 via connecting component 2, downlight 3 mounted on target panel 4. Downlight 3 includes housing 31, an annular panel 32 connected to housing 31, and bracket 33 mounted on housing 31. The bracket 33 has two locations, symmetrically connected to both sides of the outer wall of housing 31; the bracket 33 is connected to housing 31 via a spring, giving it a tendency to rotate towards the annular panel 32. In this embodiment, target panel 4 can be a ceiling or other panel suitable for mounting downlight 3. A circular window is provided on target panel 4. When downlight 3 is installed on target panel 4, the upper end of housing 31 passes through the window, and bracket 33, driven by the spring, abuts against the upper surface of target panel 4, causing the upper surface of annular panel 32 to abut against the lower surface of target panel 4, thus fixing downlight 3.

[0030] The connecting assembly 2 includes a mounting plate 21 and a connector 22 connected to the mounting plate 21. The mounting plate 21 is provided with a first connecting hole 211 and a second connecting hole 212. The first connecting hole 211 is fitted onto the outside of the housing 31, and the second connecting hole 212 is connected to the connector 22. The diameter of the first connecting hole 211 is larger than the diameter of the housing 31 and smaller than the outer diameter of the annular panel 32.

[0031] The connector 22 includes a cylindrical threaded connecting portion 221 and a retaining ring 222 threadedly connected to the connecting portion 221. A limiting ring 223 extends circumferentially from the upper end of the connecting portion 221, and the outer diameter of the limiting ring 223 is larger than the diameter of the second connecting hole 212. A universal joint 224 is connected to the lower end of the connecting portion 221, and the universal joint 224 is connected to the camera 1. The connecting portion 221 is connected within the second connecting hole 212, the limiting ring 223 is located at the upper end of the second connecting hole 212, and the retaining ring 222 is connected to the lower end of the second connecting hole 212.

[0032] The edge of the mounting plate 21 is folded upward to form a first folded edge 213; the edge of the first connecting hole 211 is folded upward to form a second folded edge 214; when the mounting plate 21 is connected to the target plate 4, the edges of the first folded edge 213 and the second folded edge 214 abut against the target plate 4. A gap 217 is formed between the upper surface of the mounting plate 21 and the target plate 4.

[0033] In this embodiment, the mounting plate 21 is provided with a first through hole 215, the edge of which is concave upward and flared. The first through hole 215 is located between the first connecting hole 211 and the second connecting hole 212. Screws are driven into the mounting plate 21 through the first through hole 215 to fix the mounting plate 21 to the target plate 4. The mounting plate 21 is provided with a second through hole 216, which is located near the second connecting hole 212. The power cable of the camera 1 is connected to the power source through the second through hole 216 and the gap.

[0034] During installation, the following steps are taken: First, the connecting part 221 is passed through the second connecting hole 212 from top to bottom, and the fixing ring 222 is tightened from below, so that the fixing ring 222 and the limiting ring 223 abut against the upper and lower sides of the mounting plate 21 respectively, thus completing the installation of the connector 22 and the mounting plate 21; the connector 22 is then fitted onto the housing 31 through the first connecting hole 211, and the power cords of the camera 1 and the downlight 3 are connected in parallel to the power source; the housing 31 and the wires are passed through the window, and the downlight 3 is clipped onto the target plate 4 through the bracket 33. At this time, the upper end of the annular panel 32 presses against the mounting plate 21, so that the upper end of the mounting plate 21 abuts against the target plate 4; the mounting plate 21 is fixed onto the target plate 4 by screws through the first through hole 215; the camera 1 is installed on the universal joint 224 below the connecting part 221, and the power cord of the camera 1 extends from the window to the gap, then to the second through hole 216 and connects to the camera 1.

[0035] It should be noted that the above installation steps can be adjusted according to the actual installation conditions.

They should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. It is obvious to those skilled in the art that this utility model is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of this utility model. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects.
