[0002] In the field of security monitoring, the ease of installation and flexibility of angle adjustment of surveillance cameras are important factors affecting their user experience. Traditional surveillance cameras typically use fixed brackets or complex mechanical connection structures for installation and angle adjustment, which has the following shortcomings: On the one hand, the installation methods mostly rely on screw fastening or clip fixing, which is not only cumbersome to install, but also requires disassembly and re-fixing when the position needs to be adjusted, making operation inconvenient; on the other hand, the angle adjustment structure often has limited flexibility, making it difficult to achieve multi-angle and all-round shooting angle coverage, or it is easy to loosen after adjustment, affecting the stability of monitoring.

[0003] To improve ease of installation, some cameras use magnetic attachment for installation. However, the magnetic attachment structure and the angle adjustment structure are usually independent of each other, resulting in a complex overall structure and low assembly efficiency. At the same time, existing rotation adjustment structures are mostly hinge-type or bushing-type, which limit the adjustment range and are prone to wear and tear after long-term use, making it difficult to meet the needs of diverse monitoring scenarios.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a surveillance camera that integrates magnetic attraction and flexible rotation adjustment to simplify the installation process, expand the adjustment range, ensure structural stability, and adapt to the usage needs of different installation environments.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-5 In this embodiment of the utility model, a surveillance camera with magnetic attraction and rotation adjustment functions is provided to solve the shortcomings of existing surveillance cameras in terms of ease of installation and flexibility of angle adjustment. Through structural optimization, the installation process is simplified, the adjustment range is expanded, and the structural stability is improved.

[0023] The surveillance camera mainly consists of three parts: a base 1, a connecting arm 2, and a camera body 3. The connecting arm 2 serves as an intermediate connector, with its two ends forming structures corresponding to different connection functions. Specifically, one end of the connecting arm 2 is a ball-head connecting end 4 that acts on the base 1. This end has a spherical protrusion structure and is used to achieve a movable connection with the base 1. The other end is an assembly connecting end 5 that acts on the camera body 3, and is connected to the camera body 3 by means of screws or by a motor built into the camera body 3.

[0024] The base 1 serves as the mounting foundation and functional integration component of the entire device. Its internal cavity 6 houses the ball joint 7 and the magnetic component 8. The ball joint 7 is positioned at the top of the base 1 and is movably connected to the ball joint connection end 4 of the connecting arm 2. Their cooperation allows for multi-angle rotation adjustment of the camera body 3. The magnetic component 8, made of permanent magnet material, is positioned at the bottom of the base 1 and generates a stable magnetic field for magnetic mounting of the entire surveillance camera. In the assembled state, the ball joint 7 and the magnetic component 8 abut against each other, forming a tight structural fit.

[0025] The base 1 adopts a split structure design, including an upper shell 9 and a lower shell 10 that are connected to each other. The upper shell 9 and the lower shell 10 are fixed by screws or other means, and the two together form the aforementioned receiving cavity 6. The ball head seat 7 is located inside the upper shell 9, while the magnetic component 8 is located inside the lower shell 10. This partitioned arrangement facilitates the assembly of each component and ensures functional independence. On the downward-facing side of the upper shell 9, which is the side opposite to the lower shell 10, there is a first groove 11. The shape of the first groove 11 is adapted to the shape of the ball head seat 7. The ball head seat 7 is embedded in the first groove 11. The limiting effect of the groove makes the installation of the ball head seat 7 more stable and prevents it from shaking during use. A first step portion 12 is formed protruding within the first groove 11. This step portion is distributed circumferentially along the inner wall of the first groove 11. A first step groove 13 adapted to the first step portion 12 is formed on the side of the ball head seat 7 facing the first step portion 12. The size and shape of the first step groove 13 match the first step portion 12. Through the cooperation of the first step portion 12 and the first step groove 13, the stability and accuracy of the ball head seat 7 installation can be further enhanced, ensuring that the ball head seat 7 will not undergo axial displacement after assembly. A first opening 14 communicating with the first groove 11 is formed on the top of the upper shell 9. The diameter of the first opening 14 is slightly smaller than the maximum outer diameter of the ball head seat 7. The top of the ball head seat 7 passes through the first opening 14 and protrudes to the opening, so that the ball head connecting end 4 can be smoothly inserted and connected to the ball head seat 7, while ensuring that the ball head connecting end 4 will not be interfered with by the upper shell 9 during rotation.

[0026] On the upper side of the lower shell 10, opposite to the upper shell 9, a second groove 15 is provided. The size of the second groove 15 matches the shape of the magnetic component 8, and the magnetic component 8 is embedded in the second groove 15. The groove's enclosing effect ensures the stability of the magnetic component 8's installation. A second step portion 16 is protruding within the second groove 15, and this second step portion 16 is also distributed circumferentially along the inner wall of the second groove 15. On the side of the magnetic component 8 facing the second step portion 16, a second step groove 17 adapted to the second step portion 16 is provided. Through the cooperation of the step structure, the stability and accuracy of the installation of the magnetic component 8 can be further enhanced, preventing the magnetic component 8 from loosening or falling off during use. A second opening 18 communicating with the second groove 15 is provided at the bottom of the lower shell 10. The area of ​​the second opening 18 is slightly smaller than the bottom area of ​​the magnetic component 8. The bottom of the magnetic component 8 passes through the second opening 18 and protrudes to the second opening 18, allowing the magnetic component 8 to directly contact the external metal mounting surface, thereby fully utilizing the magnetic attraction effect and ensuring that the base 1 can be stably adsorbed on the mounting surface.

[0027] The ball joint 7 has a spherical cavity 19 at its top, and the radius of curvature of the inner wall of the spherical cavity 19 is adapted to the spherical structure of the ball joint connecting end 4. The ball joint connecting end 4 is embedded in the spherical cavity 19, and the spherical surface is in close contact with the inner wall of the spherical cavity 19, with a damped connection design between them. When a certain external force is applied, the ball joint connecting end 4 can rotate flexibly along the inner wall of the spherical cavity 19, and the rotation angle can cover multiple dimensions in the horizontal and vertical directions. When the external force is removed, under the action of friction (i.e., damping), the ball joint connecting end 4 can maintain the current adjusted angle position and will not shift due to its own weight or slight vibration. This structural design allows the connecting arm 2 to drive the camera body 3 to achieve omnidirectional rotation adjustment, ensuring both the smoothness of the adjustment process and the stability of the adjusted angle, significantly expanding the shooting angle range of the surveillance camera and meeting the monitoring needs in different scenarios. The first groove 11 of the upper shell 9 and the second groove 15 of the lower shell 10 are connected to each other at the connection point to form a through channel, so that the side of the ball head seat 7 facing downward can directly contact and abut against the side of the magnetic component 8 facing upward. Through this structural cooperation, the ball head seat 7 and the magnetic component 8 are connected into a whole, which effectively improves the stability of the entire base 1 structure.

[0028] This invention integrates magnetic attraction and rotation adjustment functions into the base 1 structure, achieving an organic combination of the two functions. During installation, the user only needs to align the magnetic component 8 at the bottom of the base 1 with the metal mounting surface to complete the quick installation using magnetic force, eliminating the need for screw tightening or clip fixing with tools, greatly simplifying the installation process. Simultaneously, the spherical fit between the ball joint 4 and the ball joint seat 7 allows the camera body 3 to achieve flexible multi-angle rotation adjustment. Furthermore, through the rational design of each component, such as the groove and embedding structure, and the fit between the step and the step groove, the structural stability of the entire device is ensured, effectively avoiding problems such as loosening and decreased adjustment accuracy after long-term use, thus improving the reliability and service life of the surveillance camera.

[0029] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention.
