Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of surveillance technology, and in particular to an installation structure and a camera. Background Technology

[0002] Cameras, especially solar-powered battery cameras, typically require mounting brackets to be fixed to external structures such as walls or poles during installation. Current installation methods involve using screws or other fasteners to secure the camera module and solar panel to the mounting brackets separately.

[0003] However, this installation method is cumbersome, requiring specialized tools such as screwdrivers, making it inconvenient to operate. Furthermore, security surveillance cameras are typically installed at high locations, and the complex disassembly and assembly process is not only inefficient but also increases security risks. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an installation structure and camera to address the above problems, so as to simplify the disassembly and assembly steps of the camera components and achieve rapid disassembly and assembly.

[0005] This utility model first provides an installation structure for a camera, the camera including a camera assembly and a solar panel, comprising: a mounting bracket including a mounting surface for mounting to an external structure, the mounting bracket having a first mounting groove with an opening facing away from the mounting surface, the first mounting groove for mounting the camera assembly, the mounting bracket further including a mounting position disposed at the top of the first mounting groove for detachable connection with the solar panel; and two first snap-fit ​​members disposed opposite to the side walls of the first mounting groove for detachable snap-fit ​​engagement with the camera assembly.

[0006] In the above installation structure, during installation, the mounting bracket is first installed onto the external structure via the mounting surface. Then, the camera component is slid into the first mounting slot from the opening and reliably secured by the first snap-fit ​​connectors on both sides. Subsequently, the solar panel is installed in the mounting position and electrically connected to the camera component to achieve solar power supply. When it is necessary to disassemble or maintain the camera component, simply release the snap-fit ​​connectors on both sides from the camera component to remove it from the first mounting slot. This eliminates the need for screwing and other steps when disassembling and assembling the camera component, and does not require special tools, making the disassembly and assembly process simpler and faster, thereby improving disassembly, assembly, and maintenance efficiency and reducing operational difficulty. Especially for security monitoring cameras installed at higher locations, this effectively shortens the time spent working at heights, thereby reducing safety hazards.

[0007] In one embodiment, the mounting position is provided with a second mounting groove with an opening facing away from the mounting surface, and the mounting structure further includes a second snap-fit ​​member, which is disposed on the bottom wall of the second mounting groove and is used to detachably snap-fit ​​with the solar module.

[0008] This design makes the installation and removal of solar modules simpler and faster, thereby improving the overall efficiency of installation, removal and maintenance, and reducing operational difficulty and safety hazards.

[0009] In one embodiment, the second snap-fit ​​member includes a second elastic arm and a second snap-fit ​​portion disposed on the side of the second elastic arm facing the second mounting groove, the second snap-fit ​​portion being used for detachably snap-fitting with the solar module.

[0010] This design makes the assembly and disassembly of solar modules simpler and more convenient, enabling one-handed operation; the second snap-fit ​​connector has a robust and reliable structure to ensure the stability and reliability of the connection between the solar modules and the mounting structure, and can also withstand repeated assembly and disassembly, extending its service life.

[0011] In one embodiment, the first snap-fit ​​member includes a first elastic arm and a first snap-fit ​​portion disposed on the side of the first elastic arm facing the first mounting groove, the first snap-fit ​​portion being used to detachably snap-fit ​​with the camera assembly.

[0012] This design makes the assembly and disassembly of the camera assembly simpler and more convenient, enabling one-handed operation. The first connector has a robust and reliable structure to ensure the stability and reliability of the connection between the camera assembly and the mounting structure, and it can also withstand repeated assembly and disassembly, extending its service life.

[0013] In one embodiment, the mounting structure further includes a guide member disposed on the inner wall of the first mounting groove and extending along the opening direction of the first mounting groove, the guide member being used for sliding engagement with the camera assembly.

[0014] This design allows the guide to guide the camera assembly during installation and removal, facilitating accurate and smooth installation by the user. The guide also provides support and constraint for the camera assembly during use, improving the stability and reliability of the connection between the camera assembly and the mounting structure.

[0015] In one embodiment, the mounting surface is provided with a clamping hole, and the mounting structure further includes a clamping device passing through the clamping hole; and / or, the mounting surface is provided with a fixing hole for passing through a fastener.

[0016] This design allows the installation structure to meet the installation needs of various scenarios, such as wall mounting and pole mounting, thereby improving the applicability and flexibility of the installation structure.

[0017] In one embodiment, the mounting surface includes an arcuate portion and a flat portion disposed outside the arcuate portion, the arcuate portion being concave inward from the flat portion.

[0018] This design increases the contact area between the mounting surface and the external structure, resulting in more even force distribution, more secure fixation, and prevention of shaking or displacement of the mounting structure relative to the external structure.

[0019] In one embodiment, the curved surface is provided with raised ribs.

[0020] This design increases the damping coefficient of the mounting surface, providing greater resistance to rotation and slippage, and ensuring the long-term stability of the mounting structure.

[0021] This utility model embodiment also provides a camera, including a camera assembly, a solar panel assembly, and the mounting structure described above.

[0022] In one embodiment, the camera assembly has third snap-fit ​​members on both sides, which can be detachably snap-fitted with the two first snap-fit ​​members respectively; and / or, the mounting position has a second mounting groove with an opening facing away from the mounting surface, the mounting structure further includes a second snap-fit ​​member, the second snap-fit ​​member is disposed on the bottom wall of the second mounting groove, and the solar panel has a fourth snap-fit ​​member that can be detachably snap-fitted with the second snap-fit ​​member.

[0023] This configuration ensures the stability and reliability of the snap-fit ​​connection between the camera module and the solar module and the mounting structure. Attached Figure Description

[0038] Cameras, especially solar-powered battery cameras, typically require mounting brackets to be fixed to external structures such as walls or poles during installation. Current installation methods involve using screws and other fasteners to secure the camera module and solar panel to the mounting brackets. However, this method is cumbersome, requires specialized tools like screwdrivers, and is inconvenient. Furthermore, security cameras are usually installed at high locations, and the complex disassembly and assembly process is not only inefficient but also increases security risks.

[0039] To solve the above problems, such as Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this utility model provides an installation structure and a camera to simplify the disassembly and assembly steps of the camera components and achieve rapid disassembly and assembly.

[0040] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, specifically, the mounting structure 100 is used for a camera, which includes a camera assembly 200 and a solar panel 300. The mounting structure 100 includes a mounting bracket 1 and two first snap-fit ​​members 2. The mounting bracket 1 includes a mounting surface 11 for mounting to an external structure. The mounting bracket 1 has a first mounting groove 12 with an opening facing away from the mounting surface 11. The first mounting groove 12 is used to mount the camera assembly 200. The mounting bracket 1 also includes a mounting position 13 located at the top of the first mounting groove 12 and used for detachable connection with the solar panel 300. The two first snap-fit ​​members 2 are disposed opposite to each other on the side walls of the first mounting groove 12 and are used for detachable snap-fit ​​engagement with the camera assembly 200.

[0041] In the installation structure 100 provided in this embodiment of the utility model, during installation, the mounting bracket 1 is first installed onto the external structure through the mounting surface 11. Then, the camera component 200 is slid into the first mounting groove 12 from the opening and reliably secured by the first snap-fit ​​pieces 2 on both sides. Subsequently, the solar panel 300 is installed in the mounting position 13 and electrically connected to the camera component 200 to achieve solar power supply. When it is necessary to disassemble or maintain the camera component 200, it is only necessary to release the snap-fit ​​between the first snap-fit ​​pieces 2 on both sides and the camera component 200 to remove the camera component 200 from the first mounting groove 12. In this way, the steps of tightening screws can be eliminated when disassembling and assembling the camera component 200, and no special tools are required, making the disassembly and assembly process of the camera component 200 simpler and faster, thereby improving the efficiency of disassembly, assembly and maintenance, and reducing the difficulty of operation. Especially for security monitoring cameras installed at high locations, it can effectively shorten the high-altitude operation time, thereby reducing safety hazards.

[0042] Furthermore, in the assembled state, the camera component 200 is at least partially located within the first mounting slot 12, allowing the camera component 200 and the mounting structure 100 to form a single unit, thus occupying less space. The first snap-fit ​​member 2 is located on both side walls of the first mounting slot 12, ensuring that the first snap-fit ​​member 2 does not excessively protrude from the mounting bracket 1, facilitating user operation while reducing the overall volume of the mounting structure 100. The mounting position 13 is located at the top of the first mounting slot 12, ensuring that the camera component 200 and the solar panel 300 do not interfere with each other, guaranteeing that the solar panel 300 receives sufficient light, and that the shooting angle of the camera component 200 is not obstructed. Of course, the user can also flip the mounting structure 100 according to actual needs, for example, placing the mounting position 13 at the bottom or sides of the first mounting slot 12.

[0043] like Figure 4As shown, when the camera module 200 is placed indoors or in a location with insufficient light, the solar panel 300 can also be installed independently of the mounting structure 100 and the camera module 200, directly in a sunny outdoor location. Furthermore, when the camera module 200 can be powered by a battery or external power source without solar power, the solar panel 300 does not need to be installed. This allows the mounting structure 100 to be adapted to various types of camera modules 200, expanding its applicability.

[0044] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the first snap-fit ​​component 2 includes a first elastic arm 21 and a first snap-fit ​​portion 22 disposed on the side of the first elastic arm 21 facing the first mounting groove 12. The first snap-fit ​​portion 22 is used to detachably snap-fit ​​with the camera assembly 200. Specifically, the camera assembly 200 has third snap-fit ​​components (not shown) on both sides, each capable of detachably snap-fitting with one of the two first snap-fit ​​components 2. During installation, the first elastic arm 21 can deform, allowing the camera assembly 200 to smoothly slide into the first mounting groove 12. After the camera assembly 200 is installed in place, it automatically springs back, causing the first snap-fit ​​portion 22 to snap-fit ​​with the third snap-fit ​​component. It can also provide sound or tactile feedback to remind the user that the installation is in place. During disassembly, pressing the first elastic arm 21 causes the first snap-fit ​​portion 22 to disengage from the third snap-fit ​​component, thereby allowing the camera assembly 200 to slide out of the first mounting groove 12. The third latching member can be a telescopic or deformable structure. When the first elastic arm 21 is pressed, the third latching member is compressed and disengaged from the first latching part 22, allowing the camera assembly 200 to slide smoothly out of the first mounting slot 12. This makes the assembly and disassembly of the camera assembly 200 simpler and more convenient, enabling one-handed operation. Simultaneously, the cooperation between the first elastic arm 21, the first latching part 22, and the third latching member ensures a robust and reliable structure, guaranteeing the stability and reliability of the connection between the camera assembly 200 and the mounting structure 100. Furthermore, it can withstand repeated assembly and disassembly, making the mounting structure 100 suitable for applications requiring frequent maintenance or disassembly of the camera assembly 200, thus extending its service life.

[0045] Furthermore, the first latching member 2 also includes a first pressing part 23 disposed on the side of the first elastic arm 21 opposite to the first latching portion 22. The user can release the latching engagement between the first latching portion 22 and the third latching member by pressing the first pressing part 23. One end of the first elastic arm 21 is connected to the mounting bracket 1, and the other end is a free end extending toward the opening of the first mounting groove 12. The first latching portion 22 and the first pressing part 23 are preferably disposed at the free end of the first elastic arm 21 to facilitate application of force by the user. Of course, the free end of the first elastic arm 21 can also extend toward the mounting surface 11, upwards, downwards, or other directions; this embodiment of the present invention does not impose specific limitations.

[0046] Of course, in other embodiments, the first snap-fit ​​member 2 and the third snap-fit ​​member can also adopt other snap-fit ​​structures such as rotating snap-fit ​​and slider snap-fit, as long as the stability and reliability of the connection between the camera component 200 and the mounting structure 100 can be ensured. This utility model embodiment does not impose specific limitations here.

[0047] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the mounting structure 100 also includes a guide 4, which is disposed on the inner wall of the first mounting groove 12 and extends along the opening direction of the first mounting groove 12. The guide 4 is used to slide with the camera assembly 200. The guide 4 can guide the camera assembly 200 during installation and removal, preventing jamming, misalignment, or tilting, so that the user can install the camera assembly 200 accurately and smoothly. At the same time, the guide 4 can also support and constrain the camera assembly 200 during use, preventing shaking or displacement, and improving the stability and reliability of the connection between the camera assembly 200 and the mounting structure 100.

[0048] In the illustrated embodiment, the guide member 4 is disposed on the inner top wall of the first mounting groove 12, and has guide grooves 41 extending along the opening direction of the first mounting groove 12 on both sides. The top of the camera assembly 200 is provided with a guide portion (not shown) that can slide and engage with the guide grooves 41. This improves the guiding effect of the guide member 4 and further supports the camera assembly 200, preventing it from falling off, thereby further improving the stability and reliability of the connection between the camera assembly 200 and the mounting structure 100. Of course, in other embodiments, the guide member 4 can also be disposed on the inner side wall of the first mounting groove 12 or at other locations, as long as it can provide guidance and support for the camera assembly 200. This embodiment of the present invention does not impose specific limitations here.

[0049] like Figures 1 to 2As shown, in one embodiment, the mounting position 13 is provided with a second mounting groove 131 with an opening facing away from the mounting surface 11. The mounting structure 100 also includes a second snap-fit ​​member 3, which is disposed on the bottom wall of the second mounting groove 131 and is used to detachably snap-fit ​​with the solar module 300. When installing the solar module 300, the solar module 300 is slid into the second mounting groove 131 from the opening and reliably snapped in place by the second snap-fit ​​member 3 on the bottom wall. When it is necessary to disassemble or maintain the solar module 300, it is only necessary to release the snap-fit ​​between the bottom second snap-fit ​​member 3 and the solar module 300 to remove the solar module 300 from the second mounting groove 131. In this way, the steps of tightening screws can be eliminated when disassembling and assembling the solar module 300, and no special tools are required, making the disassembly and assembly process of the solar module 300 simpler and faster, thereby improving the overall disassembly, assembly and maintenance efficiency, and reducing the difficulty of operation and safety hazards. Furthermore, the second snap-fit ​​component 3 is disposed on the bottom wall of the second mounting groove 131, so that the second snap-fit ​​component 3 does not protrude excessively from the mounting bracket 1, which facilitates user operation, reduces the overall volume of the mounting structure 100, and avoids interference with the solar module 300. The number of second snap-fit ​​components 3 can be one as shown in the figure, or two, three or more can be set according to actual needs.

[0050] Of course, in other embodiments, the opening of the second mounting groove 131 can also face to both sides, towards the mounting surface 11, or upward, as long as it is ensured that the solar module 300 will not interfere with other structures during the assembly and disassembly process; the second snap-fit ​​member 3 can also be provided on the side walls or top wall of the second mounting groove 131, as long as it can be reliably fixed with the solar module 300 and will not interfere with each other; and the solar module 300 can also be detachably fixed to the mounting position 13 by screw connection, fastener connection or other means, as long as the stability and reliability of the connection between the solar module 300 and the mounting structure 100 can be ensured. This utility model embodiment does not impose specific limitations here.

[0051] like Figures 2 to 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the second snap-fit ​​member 3 includes a second elastic arm 31 and a second snap-fit ​​portion 32 disposed on the side of the second elastic arm 31 facing the second mounting groove 131. The second snap-fit ​​portion 32 is used to detachably snap-fit ​​with the solar module 300. Specifically, the solar module 300 is provided with a fourth snap-fit ​​member (not shown) that can detachably snap-fit ​​with the second snap-fit ​​member 3. During installation, the second elastic arm 31 can deform, causing the solar module 300 to move along... Figure 5 and Figure 7The component smoothly slides into the second mounting slot 131 in the direction indicated by arrow 2, and automatically springs back after the solar module 300 is installed in place, allowing the second snap-fit ​​part 32 to engage with the fourth snap-fit ​​part. It can also provide sound or tactile feedback to remind the user that the installation is complete. During disassembly, it slides along... Figure 5 and Figure 7 Pressing the second elastic arm 31 in the direction indicated by the middle arrow 1 disengages the second locking part 32 from the fourth locking member, allowing the solar module 300 to slide out of the second mounting slot 131. This simplifies the assembly and disassembly of the solar module 300, enabling one-handed operation. Furthermore, the cooperation between the second elastic arm 31, the second locking part 32, and the fourth locking member ensures a robust and reliable structure, guaranteeing the stability and reliability of the connection between the solar module 300 and the mounting structure 100. It can also withstand repeated assembly and disassembly, making the mounting structure 100 suitable for applications requiring frequent maintenance or disassembly of the solar module 300, thus extending its service life.

[0052] Furthermore, the second latching member 3 also includes a second pressing part 33 disposed on the side of the second elastic arm 31 where the second latching part 32 is located. The user can release the latching engagement between the second latching part 32 and the fourth latching member by pressing the second pressing part 33. One end of the second elastic arm 31 is connected to the mounting bracket 1, and the other end is a free end extending toward the opening of the second mounting groove 131. The second pressing part 33 is preferably disposed at the free end of the second elastic arm 31, and the second latching part 32 is disposed on the side of the second pressing part 33 away from the free end of the second elastic arm 31, so as to facilitate the user's application of force. Of course, the free end of the second elastic arm 31 can also extend toward the mounting surface 11, toward both sides, or other directions; this embodiment of the present invention does not impose specific limitations here.

[0053] Of course, in other embodiments, the second snap-fit ​​member 3 and the fourth snap-fit ​​member can also adopt other snap-fit ​​structures such as rotating snap-fit ​​and slider snap-fit, as long as the stability and reliability of the connection between the solar module 300 and the mounting structure 100 can be ensured. This utility model embodiment does not impose specific limitations here.

[0054] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, in one embodiment, the mounting surface 11 is provided with fixing holes 15 for fasteners (not shown). Thus, the mounting structure 100 can be installed onto other planar external structures such as walls and roofs using fasteners such as screws and bolts. The mounting surface 11 is approximately rectangular, with the four fixing holes 15 located at its four corners to ensure the stability and reliability of the connection between the mounting structure 100 and the external structure. Of course, the mounting surface 11 can also be set to other regular or irregular shapes such as trapezoidal, circular, elliptical, or triangular, and the number of fixing holes 15 can be one, two, three, five, or more, as long as the stability and reliability of the connection between the mounting structure 100 and the external structure can be ensured. This embodiment of the present invention does not impose specific limitations.

[0055] like Figure 1 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in another embodiment, the mounting surface 11 is provided with a clamping hole 14, and the mounting structure 100 also includes a clamp 5 passing through the clamping hole 14. Thus, the mounting structure 100 can be installed onto other rod-shaped external structures such as uprights and crossbars via the clamps 5, facilitating installation in scenarios without walls, such as farms, ranches, and fishponds. The number of clamps 5 is two, with the clamping hole 14 corresponding to the clamp 5, to ensure the stability and reliability of the connection between the mounting structure 100 and the external structure. Of course, the number of clamps 5 can also be one, three, four, or more, with the clamping hole 14 corresponding to the clamp 5, as long as the stability and reliability of the connection between the mounting structure 100 and the external structure can be ensured. This embodiment of the present invention does not impose specific limitations here.

[0056] like Figure 1 As shown in the illustrated embodiment, the mounting surface 11 is provided with both a fixing hole 15 and a clamping hole 14. Thus, the mounting structure 100 can meet the installation needs of various scenarios such as wall mounting and pole mounting, thereby improving the applicability and flexibility of the mounting structure 100.

[0057] like Figures 2 to 3As shown in the illustrated embodiment, since the uprights and crossbars are mostly cylindrical structures, the mounting surface 11 includes an arc-shaped portion 111 and a flat portion 112 located outside the arc-shaped portion 111. The arc-shaped portion 111 is concave inward from the flat portion 112. The flat portion 112 increases the contact area with external structures such as walls and roofs when the mounting structure 100 is wall-mounted, and the arc-shaped portion 111 increases the contact area with external structures such as uprights and crossbars when the mounting structure 100 is rod-mounted. This results in more uniform force distribution, more secure fixation, and prevents the mounting structure 100 from shaking or shifting relative to the external structure, thereby further improving the stability and reliability of the connection between the mounting structure 100 and the external structure. Of course, in other embodiments, when the external structure such as the wall or pole is a structure formed by splicing multiple planes or arcs, the mounting surface 11 can also be set as a surface formed by splicing multiple planes or arcs. As long as the contact area between the mounting surface 11 and the external structure can be increased to ensure the stability and reliability of the connection between the mounting structure 100 and the external structure, this utility model embodiment does not impose specific limitations here.

[0058] like Figure 3 As shown, the curved surface 111 is further provided with raised ribs 113. Raised ribs 113 increase the damping coefficient of the mounting surface 11, providing greater resistance to rotation and slippage, preventing the mounting structure 100 from rotating or sliding relative to external structures such as uprights and crossbars, and ensuring the long-term stability of the mounting structure 100. The raised ribs 113 can be grid-type raised ribs to increase the contact area between the raised ribs 113 and external structures such as uprights and crossbars; of course, the raised ribs 113 can also be strip-shaped raised ribs, wavy raised ribs, or other regular or irregular rib structures.

[0059] like Figures 4 to 7 As shown, this embodiment of the present invention also provides a camera, including a camera assembly 200, a solar panel 300, and the aforementioned mounting structure 100. Specifically, the camera assembly 200 has third latching members (not shown) on both sides, which can be detachably latched with two first latching members 2, and the solar panel 300 has a fourth latching member (not shown) that can be detachably latched with the second latching member 3, to ensure the stability and reliability of the latching engagement between the camera assembly 200 and the solar panel 300 and the mounting structure 100.

[0060] like Figure 4As shown, the mounting structure 100 is wall-mounted, and the solar panel 300 is installed independently of the mounting structure 100 and the camera module 200. During installation, the mounting surface 11 of the mounting bracket 1 is first installed to an external structure such as a wall or roof using fasteners. Then, the camera module 200 is slid into the first mounting groove 12 from the opening and reliably secured by the first snap-fit ​​2 and the third snap-fit ​​2 on both sides. Subsequently, the solar panel 300 is installed to an external structure such as a wall or roof using fasteners. Finally, the solar panel 300 is electrically connected to the camera module 200.

[0061] like Figure 5 As shown, the mounting structure 100 is wall-mounted, and the solar panel 300 is mounted on the mounting structure 100. During installation, the mounting surface 11 of the mounting bracket 1 is first installed to an external structure such as a wall or roof using fasteners. Then, the camera component 200 is slid into the first mounting groove 12 from the opening, and reliably secured by the first and third snap-fit ​​pieces on both sides. Subsequently, the solar panel 300 is slid into the second mounting groove 131 from the opening, and reliably secured by the second and fourth snap-fit ​​pieces at the bottom.
