[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model. The following embodiments are used to illustrate this utility model but should not be used to limit its scope.

[0024] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 3 This invention describes a pan-tilt camera with a novel cabling structure, comprising: The base 1 has a first mounting space inside, in which a circuit board 41 is installed, and a wire hole is provided on the top of the base 1. The bracket 2 is rotatably connected to the top of the base 1. The bracket 2 is hollow inside and U-shaped. A pivot hole is provided on one side of the bracket 2. A hollow first pivot hole is rotatably connected to the pivot hole. A wire hole is provided on the bracket 2 corresponding to the position of the wire hole. The spherical shell 3 is rotatably connected to the bracket 2. The spherical shell 3 has a connection hole at the position corresponding to the first rotating shaft. The first rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the connection hole. One end of the ribbon cable 4 is connected to the circuit board 41 and the other end passes through the wire hole, the wire hole, the rotating shaft hole, the first rotating shaft and enters the spherical shell 3. The ribbon cable 4 is bent into a U-shape inside the base 1.

[0025] Preferably, a PTZ camera with a novel cable structure allows the cable to pass smoothly through the base 1, bracket 2, and spherical shell 3, avoiding the problems of cable 4 easily getting tangled and damaged in traditional cameras. This not only improves the stability and durability of the PTZ camera but also reduces maintenance and replacement costs due to cable 4 failure. The new cable structure makes the PTZ camera more compact and rational. The cable 4 is bent into a U-shape inside the base 1, effectively utilizing the internal space of the base 1, providing ample room for cable 4 rotation, and increasing the service life of cable 4. The new cable structure also improves the flexibility and shooting angle of the PTZ camera. Because the cable 4 can pass smoothly through various components, the spherical shell 3 can rotate more freely, allowing the PTZ camera to capture more details and images, thus improving the monitoring effect.

[0026] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a PTZ camera with a novel cable routing structure is described, such as... Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the base 1 includes a bottom shell 11 and a cover plate 12. The circuit board 41 is mounted on the bottom shell 11, and the cover plate 12 covers the bottom shell 11. The wire hole is formed at the center of the cover plate 12, and the bracket 2 is rotatably connected to the cover plate 12.

[0027] Preferably, the combined structure of the bottom shell 11 and the cover plate 12 provides a stable and enclosed installation environment for the circuit board 41, effectively preventing the circuit board 41 from being damaged by external environmental factors, thereby extending the service life of the pan-tilt camera; the wire hole opened in the center of the cover plate 12 not only facilitates the insertion and fixing of the ribbon cable 4, but also ensures the neatness of the base 1 and the aesthetics of the wiring.

[0028] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a rotating track is formed on the top of the cover plate 12; the bracket 2 includes a rotating plate 21 and a protective shell 22. A rotating groove is formed at the bottom of the rotating plate 21, and the rotating groove is rotatably connected to the rotating track. The protective shell 22 is connected to the rotating plate 21. A wire hole is opened at the center of the rotating plate 21, and the protective shell 22 is U-shaped.

[0029] The cooperation between the rotating track and the rotating groove ensures that the bracket 2 can rotate smoothly within a certain range, meeting the pan-tilt camera's shooting angle requirements while guaranteeing structural stability and durability. The protective shell 22 not only provides additional protection for the ribbon cable 4, preventing damage during rotation, but also enhances the overall aesthetics of the pan-tilt camera. The wire hole facilitates the insertion and securing of the ribbon cable 4, making the internal structure of the pan-tilt camera neater and more organized.

[0030] Preferably, a pivot hole is provided on one side of the protective shell 22, and the other side of the protective shell 22 is rotatably connected to the spherical shell 3 through a solid second pivot, thereby improving the connection stability between the protective shell 22 and the spherical shell 3. A lens assembly is provided inside the spherical shell 3, and the ribbon cable 4 enters the spherical shell 3 and connects to the lens assembly.

[0031] Preferably, a silicone protective layer can be provided inside the first rotating shaft. This silicone protective layer has good elasticity and wear resistance, which can effectively reduce the friction and wear of the ribbon cable 4 inside the first rotating shaft and extend the service life of the ribbon cable 4. The silicone protective layer can also play a certain sealing role, preventing dust, moisture and other impurities from entering the interior of the first rotating shaft, further protecting the safety of the ribbon cable 4.

[0032] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, silicone sleeves are provided on the sidewalls of the wire hole and the conductor hole. The silicone sleeves enhance the protection of the ribbon cable 4. Since the ribbon cable 4 needs to contact the sidewalls of the wire hole and conductor hole during insertion, the silicone sleeves, with their good elasticity and wear resistance, effectively reduce the wear of the ribbon cable 4 during friction, extending its service life. The silicone sleeves also have sealing properties, effectively preventing external dust, moisture, and other impurities from entering the pan-tilt camera, thereby ensuring the stable operation and shooting quality of the pan-tilt camera.

[0033] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the top of the rotating plate 21 is fitted with a cable clamping end, and the ribbon cable 4 is clamped to the cable clamping end. The cable clamping end fixes the ribbon cable 4, preventing it from shaking or falling off during the rotation of the pan-tilt camera, ensuring the stability and reliability of the ribbon cable 4. The cable clamping end and the top of the rotating plate 21 are tightly integrated, forming a stable support structure and providing a safe fixing point for the ribbon cable 4. The material and structural design of the cable clamping end also fully consider the protection of the ribbon cable 4, preventing it from being damaged due to prolonged stress or friction, further extending the service life of the ribbon cable 4.

[0034] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 As shown, the spherical shell 3 includes a left spherical shell 31 and a right spherical shell 32 that are interlocked. The left spherical shell 31 forms an arc-shaped protrusion corresponding to the position of the support 2, and the right spherical shell 32 forms an arc-shaped groove corresponding to the position of the protrusion. The connecting hole is opened at the protrusion corresponding to the first rotating shaft, and the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft are connected to the position of the corresponding protrusion.

[0035] Preferably, the cooperation between the protrusion and the arc groove allows the left spherical shell 31 and the right spherical shell 32 to fit tightly when fastened, and ensures that the shaft is stably installed in the connecting hole, effectively preventing the shaft from loosening or falling off during installation and use.

[0036] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a sealing ring 33 is provided between the left spherical shell 31 and the right spherical shell 32. The sealing ring 33 enhances the sealing performance between the left spherical shell 31 and the right spherical shell 32, effectively preventing dust, moisture, and other impurities from entering the interior of the spherical shell 3, thus providing good protection for the internal electronic components and ribbon cables 4. At the same time, the sealing ring 33 also has a certain buffering effect, which can reduce the friction and collision between the left spherical shell 31 and the right spherical shell 32 during the rotation of the pan-tilt camera, further improving the stability and durability of the pan-tilt camera.

[0037] Furthermore, the left spherical shell 31 is provided with a connecting post, and the right spherical shell 32 is provided with a connecting rod. The connecting rod is inserted into the connecting post to connect the left spherical shell 31 and the right spherical shell 32. The connecting post and connecting rod further enhance the connection stability between the left spherical shell 31 and the right spherical shell 32. The tight fit between the connecting post and the connecting rod not only allows the left spherical shell 31 and the right spherical shell 32 to be easily aligned during assembly, but also provides additional support during the rotation of the pan-tilt camera, effectively preventing structural loosening due to long-term use or external impact.

[0038] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 As shown, the top of the left spherical shell 31 is provided with a ventilation hole 34, and the side of the right spherical shell 32 is provided with a lens hole 35.

[0039] Furthermore, the ribbon cable 4 is an 18-pin ribbon cable or a 22-pin ribbon cable, and an acetate cloth is provided in the middle of the ribbon cable 4.

[0040] Preferably, the acetate cloth effectively secures and protects the ribbon cable 4, preventing loosening and wear during the rotation of the PTZ camera. Simultaneously, the acetate cloth provides insulation, enhancing the safety of the ribbon cable 4. The 18-pin or 22-pin ribbon cable 4 design meets the complex internal circuitry requirements of the PTZ camera, ensuring stable signal transmission. This design not only improves the overall performance of the PTZ camera but also provides strong support for its long-term stable operation.

[0041] Preferably, ribbon cable 4 is an FFC ribbon cable or an LVDS ultra-fine coaxial cable.

[0042] In one specific implementation, the spherical shell 3 rotates around the bracket 2, changing the monitoring range of the lens assembly in the vertical plane. The ribbon cable 4 rotates within the first rotating shaft. The bracket 2 rotates around the rotating track, causing the spherical shell 3 to rotate, thereby increasing the monitoring range of the lens assembly in the horizontal plane. The ribbon cable 4 rotates in the through hole. The U-shaped part of the ribbon cable 4 within the base 1 can provide slack, improving the connection stability of the ribbon cable 4.

[0043] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
