Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of elevator monitoring, and in particular to a camera. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of elevator monitoring, obtaining real-time floor information and accurate operational status of elevators is crucial for improving monitoring efficiency, optimizing management, and ensuring passenger safety. However, existing elevator monitoring systems generally rely on external floor sensors, encoders, or complex elevator control system interfaces for data exchange to achieve this function. This traditional approach typically increases system hardware costs, installation and wiring complexity, and construction time. Furthermore, the introduction of external sensors increases potential points of failure, reducing the overall reliability and ease of maintenance of the system. In addition, existing solutions often fail to provide sufficient data support for the refined perception of elevator car operation, such as real-time acceleration / deceleration and vibration, making it difficult to meet the growing demand for intelligent monitoring. Utility Model Content

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a camera that can monitor the movement of elevators in the floors in real time, has a simple structure, and meets the requirements of intelligent monitoring.

[0004] This utility model provides a camera, including:

[0005] A base assembly, including a base and a circuit board disposed on the base, the circuit board including a gyroscope;

[0006] Fixed component, set on the base component;

[0007] The lens assembly is mounted on the fixing assembly and electrically connected to the circuit board, with the lens assembly facing away from the base assembly.

[0008] In the aforementioned camera, the integrated structure of the gyroscope and circuit board can directly collect elevator motion data and process it through the circuit board, eliminating the need for additional external floor sensors. This structurally reduces external wiring and fixing components, lowering installation complexity. The lens assembly is used to capture images inside the elevator car. The electrical connection structure between the lens assembly and the circuit board ensures that the monitoring images can be transmitted to the processing system in real time, achieving structural linkage between motion monitoring and video surveillance, and improving the timeliness of monitoring.

[0009] In one embodiment, the mounting position is provided on the side of the fixing component away from the base component, the mounting position being located on the outer periphery of the lens component, and the camera also includes functional components, at least some of which are located in the mounting position and electrically connected to the circuit board.

[0010] This configuration, with the mounting position located on the outer periphery of the lens assembly, avoids functional components obstructing the monitoring field of view of the lens assembly. The functional components, circuit boards, and lens assembly work together to improve functional linkage, enabling the camera to achieve more accurate and efficient monitoring functions and meet the diverse needs of elevator safety monitoring.

[0011] In one of the methods, an acute angle is formed between the mounting position and the plane of the base.

[0012] This design, with its acute angle, allows for tilted installation space, enabling adjustments to the installation angle of functional components according to actual needs.

[0013] In one embodiment, the mounting position includes a first mounting position, the angle between the first mounting position and the plane of the base being 15° to 50°, and the functional components include a ranging component disposed at the first mounting position.

[0014] This tilt angle setting effectively avoids interference from direct reflection of the ranging signal on the elevator wall or other object surfaces, improving the accuracy and stability of the ranging. In addition, the ranging component can also detect whether the equipment is obstructed, enhancing the reliability of the equipment operation.

[0015] In one embodiment, the mounting position includes a second mounting position, the angle between the second mounting position and the plane of the base being 45° to 60°, and the functional components include a supplementary lighting component disposed at the second mounting position.

[0016] This setup, placing the supplementary lighting component in the second mounting position at 45° to 60°, ensures that the supplementary lighting source can illuminate the interior of the elevator car at the optimal tilt angle, effectively reducing glare caused by direct light hitting the lens component, while providing a uniform and soft lighting effect and avoiding glaring light spots; the design of the lamp cover further optimizes the diffusion and uniformity of light, avoiding the light spot effect.

[0017] In one embodiment, the supplemental lighting component includes an infrared lamp and / or a white lamp.

[0018] With this setup, the infrared lights can provide supplementary lighting for the lens components without significantly affecting the normal lighting environment inside the elevator; while the integration of white lights on the light panel gives the camera the ability to provide supplementary lighting when color monitoring images are needed or when it is used as a visible lighting source; and the simultaneous integration of infrared and white lights on the light panel enables the camera to achieve powerful dual-light supplementary lighting function, greatly enhancing its all-weather monitoring capabilities and environmental adaptability.

[0019] In one embodiment, the lens assembly is rotatable relative to the fixed assembly about a first axis perpendicular to the plane of the base within a range of -25° to 25°, the functional components including a ranging component and a supplementary lighting component disposed at the mounting position, the lens assembly facing the ranging component and the supplementary lighting component; and / or, the lens assembly is rotatable relative to the fixed assembly about a second axis parallel to the plane of the base within a range of 0° to 65°.

[0020] This design allows the lens assembly to rotate horizontally within a certain angle range. After the base assembly is fixedly installed, the lens orientation can be adjusted by rotating around the first axis to achieve monitoring coverage of different areas inside the elevator. The vertical rotation design allows the lens assembly to rotate vertically within a certain angle range. After the base assembly is installed, the lens pitch angle can be adjusted by rotating around the second axis to achieve monitoring coverage of different height positions inside the elevator.

[0021] In one embodiment, the functional components include a speaker module and / or a receiver module and / or a multi-dimensional sensing module disposed at the mounting position; and / or, the functional components include a wireless communication module disposed on the side of the fixed component near the base component.

[0022] This setup enables various voice interaction and information broadcasting functions by integrating a speaker module into the camera; it also allows for real-time, high-sensitivity acquisition of ambient sounds inside the elevator car by integrating a receiver module, enabling two-way voice communication in conjunction with the speaker module; the integration of a multi-dimensional sensing module into the camera allows for real-time monitoring of various environmental parameters inside the elevator car; and the wireless communication module's location between the fixed components and the base components reduces the obstruction of wireless signals by the metal structure inside the elevator.

[0023] In one embodiment, the camera also includes an upper housing assembly disposed on the side of the mounting assembly away from the base assembly, the upper housing assembly including an upper housing and a lens cover corresponding to the lens assembly.

[0024] This design, with the upper housing covering the fixed components, protects the internal functional components from dust and moisture corrosion; the lens cover corresponds to the lens assembly, ensuring that the lens monitoring is not obstructed, while also protecting the lens assembly from external impacts.

[0025] In one embodiment, one of the upper shell and the fixing component is provided with a first snap-fit ​​portion, and the other is provided with a second snap-fit ​​portion that can snap-fit ​​with the first snap-fit ​​portion. The snap-fit ​​surfaces of the first snap-fit ​​portion and the second snap-fit ​​portion form an acute angle with the plane of the base.

[0026] This design, with its snap-fit ​​surface featuring a specific acute angle, enables a tight, secure, and easy-to-assemble mechanical connection between the upper housing assembly and the fixed assembly. Attached Figure Description

[0041] In the field of elevator monitoring, obtaining real-time floor information and accurate operational status of elevators is crucial for improving monitoring efficiency, optimizing management, and ensuring passenger safety. However, existing elevator monitoring systems generally rely on external floor sensors, encoders, or complex elevator control system interfaces for data exchange to achieve this function. This traditional approach typically increases system hardware costs, installation and wiring complexity, and construction time. Furthermore, the introduction of external sensors increases potential points of failure, reducing the overall reliability and ease of maintenance of the system. In addition, existing solutions often fail to provide sufficient data support for the refined perception of elevator car operation, such as real-time acceleration / deceleration and vibration, making it difficult to meet the growing demand for intelligent monitoring.

[0042] To solve the above problems, such as Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this utility model discloses a camera that can monitor the movement of an elevator in the floors in real time. It has a simple structure and meets the requirements of intelligent monitoring.

[0043] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, this application provides a camera, including a base assembly 1, a fixing assembly 2, and a lens assembly 3. The base assembly 1 includes a base 12 and a circuit board 11 disposed on the base 12, the circuit board 11 including a gyroscope. The fixing assembly 2 is disposed on the base assembly 1. The lens assembly 3 is disposed on the fixing assembly 2 and electrically connected to the circuit board 11, the lens assembly 3 facing away from the base assembly 1. This camera can be used in moving scenarios such as elevator cars and lifts. The following description uses an example of a camera installed in an elevator car.

[0044] With this configuration, the integrated structure of the gyroscope and circuit board 11 can directly collect elevator motion data and process it through the circuit board 11, realizing real-time monitoring of elevator floor position and swaying motion states. This solves the problems of high cost and poor adaptability caused by relying on external sensors in the prior art. Moreover, it eliminates the need for additional external floor sensors, structurally reducing external wiring and fixing components, and lowering installation complexity. The lens assembly 3 is used to capture images inside the elevator car. The electrical connection structure between the lens assembly 3 and the circuit board 11 ensures that the monitoring images can be transmitted to the processing system in real time, realizing the structural linkage between motion monitoring and video monitoring, and improving the timeliness of monitoring.

[0045] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, in one embodiment, the lens assembly 3 is rotatable relative to the fixed assembly 2 within a range of -25° to 25° about a first axis a perpendicular to the plane of the base 12. This configuration gives the lens assembly 3 a horizontal rotation capability within a certain angle range, allowing the lens orientation to be adjusted by rotating about the first axis a after the base assembly 1 is fixedly installed, thus achieving monitoring coverage of different areas inside the elevator. This rotatable lens assembly 3 design allows the camera to flexibly adapt to the spatial layout and actual monitoring needs inside the elevator, ensuring that the lens is aimed at key monitoring areas, such as elevator doors, elevator buttons, and elevator corners.

[0046] In another embodiment, depending on actual needs, the lens assembly 3 can be designed to rotate relative to the fixed assembly 2 within a specific range of 0° to 360° about a first axis a perpendicular to the plane where the base 12 is located.

[0047] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the lens assembly 3 is capable of rotating relative to the fixed assembly 2 within a range of 0° to 65° around a second axis b parallel to the plane of the base 12. This configuration provides the lens assembly 3 with a certain range of vertical rotation capabilities, allowing the lens's pitch angle to be adjusted by rotating around the second axis b after the base assembly 1 is installed, thus achieving monitoring coverage of different height positions inside the elevator. This vertical rotation design allows the camera to flexibly adapt to the monitoring needs of different heights within the elevator, such as monitoring objects or areas at different heights, including handrails, billboards, ceilings, or floors. Combined with the horizontal rotation function of the lens assembly 3, the camera can achieve omnidirectional monitoring angle adjustment, meeting the needs of complex and varied monitoring scenarios inside the elevator and ensuring comprehensive monitoring of the elevator's interior space.

[0048] In another embodiment, depending on actual needs, the lens assembly 3 can be designed to rotate relative to the fixed assembly 2 within a specific range of 0° to 90° or 0° to 180° about a second axis b parallel to the plane of the base 12.

[0049] like Figure 4As shown, in one embodiment, the camera further includes a functional component 4. A mounting position 21 is provided on the side of the fixing component 2 away from the base component 1. The mounting position 21 is located on the outer periphery of the lens component 3. At least some of the functional components 4 are disposed in the mounting position 21 and electrically connected to the circuit board 11. This arrangement, with the mounting position 21 located on the outer periphery of the lens component 3, avoids the functional components 4 obstructing the monitoring field of view of the lens component 3. The mounting position 21 can be designed as an integral mounting slot or mounting base, allowing for a centralized layout of functional modules, reducing the length of internal wiring, and simplifying the overall structure. The functional components 4, the circuit board 11, and the lens component 3 work together to improve functional interoperability, enabling the camera to achieve more accurate and efficient monitoring functions, meeting the diverse needs of elevator safety monitoring.

[0050] In another embodiment, the mounting position 21 can be designed as multiple independent mounting slots or mounting bases, distributed at different locations on the fixing component 2, to accommodate the installation requirements of functional components 4 of different types and sizes. These mounting slots or mounting bases can have different shapes and sizes, such as rectangles, circles, arcs, etc., to match the shape of the functional component 4 and improve the stability and reliability of the installation.

[0051] In one embodiment, an acute angle is formed between the mounting position 21 and the plane containing the base 12. This acute angle allows the mounting position 21 to have an inclined installation space, enabling the installation angle of the functional component 4 to be adjusted according to actual needs. This optimizes the working posture and performance of the functional component 4 while reducing the space occupied by the functional component 4 in the vertical direction, making the overall thickness of the equipment thinner and adapting to the limited installation space on the elevator car top. In addition, the inclination of the mounting position 21 structurally avoids interference caused by direct light or detection signals from the functional component 4 hitting the lens.

[0052] The specific angle of the acute angle can be adjusted according to the type and working requirements of the functional component 4. For example, for a functional component 4 that requires a larger coverage area, the acute angle can be appropriately reduced to make the mounting position 21 closer to the horizontal direction, thereby expanding the effective range of the functional component 4. For a functional component 4 that needs to focus its effect on a specific area, the acute angle can be appropriately increased to make the mounting position 21 more tilted, thereby enhancing the effect of the functional component 4 in that area.

[0053] In another embodiment, the angle of the mounting position 21 can also be flexibly adjusted according to the spatial layout inside the elevator and the actual mounting position 21, so as to ensure that the functional component 4 can perform at its best in a limited space and improve the overall adaptability and versatility of the camera.

[0054] In another embodiment, the tilt direction of the mounting position 21 can also be designed in various ways. In addition to forming a single acute angle with the plane where the base 12 is located, a multi-directional tilt design can also be adopted, that is, forming different angles in multiple directions such as the horizontal plane and the vertical plane.

[0055] In another embodiment, the angle between the mounting position 21 and the plane of the base 12 can be dynamically adjusted by an adjustable connection structure. For example, an adjusting screw and a corresponding threaded groove can be provided between the mounting position 21 and the fixing component 2, and the angle of the mounting position 21 can be changed by rotating the adjusting screw.

[0056] like Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the mounting position 21 includes a first mounting position 211, and the angle α between the first mounting position 211 and the plane where the base 12 is located is 15° to 50°. The functional component 4 includes a ranging component 41 disposed on the first mounting position 211. The angle α can be 15°, 20°, 25°, 30°, 35°, 40°, 45°, 50°, etc. With this configuration, the ranging component 41 is installed at a first mounting position 211 at an angle of 15° to 50° to the plane of the base 12. It can transmit and receive ranging signals, such as infrared or laser, into the elevator at an inclined angle. This inclined angle can effectively avoid interference from direct reflection of the ranging signal on the elevator wall or other object surfaces, thus improving the accuracy and stability of the ranging. At the same time, the inclined ranging component 41 can better cover the space inside the elevator, enabling precise measurement of objects at different positions and distances inside the elevator, such as monitoring the position of passengers inside the elevator and the distance from the elevator door, providing real-time data support for the safe operation of the elevator. In addition, the ranging component 41 can also detect whether the equipment is obstructed, enhancing the reliability of the equipment operation.

[0057] Among them, the ranging component 41 is a TOF sensor based on signal time-of-flight distance measurement technology.

[0058] In another embodiment, the ranging component 41 may be designed as an infrared sensor or other ranging component 41.

[0059] Preferably, the angle between the first mounting position 211 and the plane of the base 12 is 35°. This 35° angle provides a more ideal tilt angle for the ranging component 41, allowing the ranging signal to be transmitted and received in a more optimized direction. This angle avoids direct reflection interference of the ranging signal while ensuring that the ranging component 41 covers a sufficiently large area of ​​the elevator's interior space, improving the accuracy and stability of the ranging.

[0060] In one embodiment, the functional component 4 includes a ranging component 41. When the lens component 3 can rotate relative to the fixed component 2 about a first axis a perpendicular to the plane of the base 12 within a range of -25° to 25°, the lens component 3 faces the ranging component 41. The ranging component 41 is preferably arranged corresponding to the 0° position of the lens component 3, so that the ranging component 41 can monitor the distance information of the area pointed by the lens in real time, ensuring image quality under different lighting conditions.

[0061] In another embodiment, the functional component 4 may include multiple ranging components 41, which are distributed at different positions of the fixed component 2 to achieve multi-point ranging function, thereby achieving a wider ranging coverage and more refined three-dimensional spatial perception capability.

[0062] like Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the mounting position 21 includes a second mounting position 212, and the angle β between the second mounting position 212 and the plane of the base 12 is 45° to 60°. The functional component 4 includes a supplementary lighting component 42 disposed on the second mounting position 212. The angle between the second mounting position 212 and the plane of the base 12 can be 45°, 50°, 55°, 60°, etc. Specifically, the supplementary lighting component 42 includes a lamp cover 422 and a lamp plate 421 disposed between the second mounting position 212 and the lamp cover 422. This configuration, placing the supplementary lighting component 42 on the second mounting position 212 at an angle of 45° to 60°, ensures that the supplementary lighting source can illuminate the interior of the elevator car at the optimal tilt angle, effectively reducing glare caused by direct light hitting the lens component 3, while providing a uniform and soft lighting effect and avoiding glaring light spots. The design of the lamp cover 422 further optimizes the diffusion and uniformity of light, avoiding the light spot effect, while the lamp board 421, as the light-emitting core, ensures sufficient supplementary lighting intensity, thereby significantly improving the clarity, color reproduction, and detail performance of the camera's monitoring images in low light, nighttime, or complex lighting environments.

[0063] Preferably, the angle between the second mounting position 212 and the plane of the base 12 is 50°. This 50° angle provides a more ideal tilt angle for the supplementary lighting component 42, allowing the supplementary light to be projected onto the monitoring area inside the elevator in a more optimized direction. This angle not only effectively avoids reflection interference caused by the supplementary light directly hitting the lens assembly 3, but also ensures that the supplementary light evenly covers the space inside the elevator, especially providing sufficient light supplementation for the upper middle and corner areas of the elevator, thereby improving image quality and monitoring effectiveness.

[0064] In one embodiment, the functional component 4 includes a supplementary lighting component 42. When the lens assembly 3 is able to rotate relative to the fixed component 2 about a first axis a perpendicular to the plane of the base 12 within a range of -25° to 25°, the lens assembly 3 faces the supplementary lighting component 42. The supplementary lighting component 42 is preferably arranged corresponding to the 0° position of the lens assembly 3, so that the supplementary lighting component 42 can provide effective supplementary lighting for the monitoring area of ​​the lens and ensure image quality under different lighting conditions.

[0065] In another embodiment, the functional component 4 may include a plurality of supplementary lighting components 42, which are distributed at different positions of the fixed component 2 to achieve multi-point illumination.

[0066] In one embodiment, the light panel 421 includes an infrared lamp. This arrangement allows the infrared lamp to provide supplemental lighting for the lens assembly 3 without significantly affecting the normal lighting environment inside the elevator, making it particularly suitable for monitoring at night or in extremely dimly lit environments. Simultaneously, the infrared lamp's placement on the inclined second mounting position 212 prevents infrared crosstalk.

[0067] The wavelength of the infrared lamp can be selected according to the actual application requirements.

[0068] In one embodiment, the light panel 421 includes a white light. By integrating the white light onto the light panel 421, the camera gains the ability to provide supplemental lighting when color monitoring is required or when it serves as a visible illumination source. White light supplemental lighting provides more realistic color reproduction, helping monitoring personnel to identify more details.

[0069] In one embodiment, the light panel 421 includes an infrared light and a white light. This configuration, by integrating both infrared and white lights onto the light panel 421, enables the camera to achieve powerful dual-light illumination, greatly enhancing its all-weather monitoring capabilities and environmental adaptability. In low light conditions or at night, the infrared light can be used preferentially for covert monitoring, providing clear black-and-white night vision images without disturbing passengers. When more details need to be identified, color monitoring is required, or it serves as warning lighting, the white light can be switched on or simultaneously activated to provide clear images with true colors. This flexible illumination mode switching allows the camera to intelligently select the optimal illumination method based on the actual environment and monitoring needs, ensuring high-quality monitoring images are captured under any lighting conditions, while balancing concealment, information content, and energy efficiency.

[0070] In another implementation, the power ratio of infrared lamps and white lamps can be preset or dynamically adjusted according to the actual application scenario. For example, in some scenarios, infrared supplementary lighting is emphasized to save energy, while in other scenarios, white light is emphasized to obtain more details.

[0071] In another implementation, the lamp cover 422 can be designed with different light transmittance for the areas corresponding to infrared lamps and white lamps, to meet the supplementary lighting needs of the two light sources.

[0072] like Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, functional component 4 includes a speaker module 43 disposed at mounting position 21. This configuration, by integrating the speaker module 43 onto the camera, enables various voice interaction and information broadcasting functions. Specifically, mounting position 21 includes a third mounting position 213, where the speaker module 43 is disposed. The third mounting position 213, the first mounting position 211, and the second mounting position 212 are spaced apart on the outer periphery of the fixing component 2. Furthermore, the speaker module 43, when used in combination with a white light, enables the device's audio-visual warning function.

[0073] In one embodiment, functional component 4 also includes a sound receiving module disposed at mounting position 21. This configuration, by integrating the sound receiving module onto the camera, allows for real-time, high-sensitivity acquisition of ambient sounds inside the elevator car. This adds an important auditory dimension to the elevator monitoring system, enabling various intelligent applications, such as abnormal sound detection or, in conjunction with speaker module 43, enabling two-way voice communication.

[0074] In one embodiment, functional component 4 further includes a multi-dimensional sensing module 45 disposed at mounting position 21. This configuration, by integrating the multi-dimensional sensing module 45 onto the camera, enables real-time monitoring of various environmental parameters inside the elevator car, such as air pressure, temperature, humidity, PM2.5 concentration, and CO2 concentration. This environmental data can be used for various intelligent applications: for example, in conjunction with the elevator air conditioning system, it can achieve intelligent adjustment of the environment inside the car, optimizing passenger comfort; it can also serve as auxiliary data for judging abnormal elevator operating conditions. For example, abnormal fluctuations in air pressure may indicate car sealing problems or operational malfunctions; rapid changes in temperature or humidity may indicate fire or other environmental risks. This significantly improves the environmental perception capability and intelligent management level of the elevator monitoring system. Specifically, mounting position 21 includes a fourth mounting position 214, where the multi-dimensional sensing module 45 is disposed. The fourth mounting position 214, the first mounting position 211, the second mounting position 212, and the third mounting position 213 are spaced apart on the outer periphery of the fixed component 2.

[0075] like Figure 5As shown, in one embodiment, functional component 4 further includes a wireless communication module 44, which is disposed on the side of fixed component 2 near base component 1. The wireless communication module 44 can transmit image signals, floor information, elevator status, etc., to external devices. This arrangement, with the wireless communication module 44 located between fixed component 2 and base component 1, forms a relatively enclosed space, reducing the obstruction of wireless signals by the metal structure inside the elevator. Its proximity to circuit board 11 shortens the connection distance, improves signal transmission stability, facilitates real-time monitoring of elevator status via mobile devices, and enhances the applicability of the equipment while facilitating operations for relevant personnel.

[0076] In one embodiment, functional component 4 includes two, three, or four of the following: a speaker module 43, a receiver module, a multi-dimensional sensing module 45, and a wireless communication module 44, all disposed at mounting position 21. This configuration integrates multiple components within the structure of mounting position 21, centralizing the functional modules, reducing scattered internal parts, and simplifying the overall structure. Furthermore, by flexibly selecting and combining any two, three, or all four of the speaker module 43, receiver module, multi-dimensional sensing module 45, and wireless communication module 44, the camera can achieve highly customized functional configurations according to the specific needs and budgets of different elevator monitoring projects. For example, when comprehensive monitoring of the sound environment and images within the elevator is required, a speaker module 43 and a receiver module can be installed; when environmental monitoring and remote data transmission are required, a multi-dimensional sensing module 45 and a wireless communication module 44 can be installed; and when comprehensive intelligent monitoring is required, a speaker module 43, a receiver module, a multi-dimensional sensing module 45, and a wireless communication module 44 can be installed simultaneously. This flexible configuration of functional components 4 not only improves the versatility and adaptability of the camera, but also effectively utilizes the space of the mounting position 21, avoids unnecessary functional redundancy, reduces equipment costs, and provides users with a safer, more comfortable, and aesthetically pleasing elevator monitoring solution.

[0077] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the camera further includes an upper housing assembly 5 covering the side of the fixing assembly 2 away from the base assembly 1. The upper housing assembly 5 includes an upper housing 51 and a lens cover 52 corresponding to the lens assembly 3. This arrangement, with the upper housing assembly 5 covering the structure of the fixing assembly 2, protects the internal functional components 4 from dust and moisture corrosion; the lens cover 52, corresponding to the structure of the lens assembly 3, ensures unobstructed lens monitoring and protects the lens assembly 3 from external impacts.

[0078] like Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, in one embodiment, one of the upper housing 51 and the fixing component 2 is provided with a first snap-fit ​​portion 61, and the other is provided with a second snap-fit ​​portion 62 that can snap-fit ​​with the first snap-fit ​​portion 61. The snap-fit ​​surfaces of the first snap-fit ​​portion 61 and the second snap-fit ​​portion 62 form an acute angle γ with the plane of the base 12. This arrangement, by designing snap-fit ​​surfaces with a specific acute angle, achieves a tight, secure, and easy-to-assemble mechanical connection between the upper housing component 5 and the fixing component 2. This acute-angle snap-fit ​​not only increases the stability of the snap-fit, preventing loosening or detachment during elevator vibration or accidental collisions, but also provides self-alignment and guidance during assembly, allowing components to smoothly snap into place, thereby improving production efficiency and assembly accuracy. Simultaneously, the acute-angle snap-fit ​​helps to form a tighter fit at the connection point, providing the camera with superior dust and water resistance.

[0079] In another embodiment, the first snap-fit ​​portion 61 and the second snap-fit ​​portion 62 may adopt a multi-point snap-fit ​​design, for example, multiple snap-fit ​​points are evenly distributed along the circumference, and each snap-fit ​​point adopts an acute-angle snap-fit ​​surface to ensure the uniformity and firmness of the connection and to distribute the force.

[0080] In one embodiment, the acute angle is 15°. This 15° acute angle provides a gentler guiding angle during the snap-fit ​​engagement between the upper housing assembly 5 and the fixing assembly 2, making it easier for the upper housing assembly 5 to align and snap into the fixing assembly 2 during installation. Simultaneously, the 15° angle ensures sufficient contact area and friction between the snap-fit ​​parts, guaranteeing connection stability and preventing the upper housing assembly 5 from loosening or falling off due to external forces during use.

[0081] In another implementation, the acute angle can be adjusted according to the actual product design requirements and installation space, such as setting it to 20°, 25°, or other angles. A smaller acute angle, such as 10°, can provide a longer snap-fit ​​guide distance, making it easier to align the upper shell assembly 5 and the fixing assembly 2, which is suitable for scenarios with limited installation space or high installation accuracy requirements; while a larger acute angle, such as 30°, can increase the contact stiffness and strength between the snap-fit ​​parts to a certain extent, improving the connection's firmness, and is suitable for use environments that need to withstand greater external forces or vibrations.

[0082] In another embodiment, the upper shell 51 and the fixing component 2 can be fixed by screws, adhesive or other means.

[0083] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0084] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the patent protection scope of this application should be determined by the appended claims.
