Technical Field

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

[0002] In the development of car camera devices, in order to achieve a camera support method that frees up photographers' hands, there are currently structures on the market that are mainly positioned on the side doors of cars.

[0003] However, current car camera cameras on the market are designed to be placed on the car window for filming, with the camera positioned fixed and at the same height as the window. When using a car camera camera, the car window cannot be rolled up, and in case of wind, rain, or dust, the camera must be stored away, taking time to reuse and affecting filming efficiency.

[0004] Furthermore, existing vehicle-mounted cameras are typically bulky and cannot meet the multi-angle shooting requirements of the equipment while achieving lightweight and miniaturization, thus improving user convenience. Utility Model Content

[0005] The main purpose of this utility model is to propose a vehicle-mounted camera that aims to improve the problem that existing vehicle-mounted cameras are usually bulky and cannot meet the multi-angle shooting needs of shooting devices while achieving their own lightweight and miniaturization, thereby improving ease of use.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the vehicle-mounted camera proposed in this utility model includes: A support structure includes a support rod and two mounting structures. One end of the support rod is rotatably connected to one of the mounting structures along a laterally extending axis. The two mounting structures are spaced apart vertically and are both used for connection with the vehicle body. An installation structure is provided between the support rod and another hanging structure. One end of the installation structure is rotatably connected to the corresponding hanging structure along a transversely extending axis, and the other end is rotatably connected to the other end of the support rod along a transversely extending axis. The installation structure is used for mounting the shooting equipment.

[0007] In one embodiment, the upper end face of the mounting structure is provided with a plurality of first connecting holes spaced apart, each of the first connecting holes being provided with a thread, and the plurality of first connecting holes being used to connect with a shooting device.

[0008] In one embodiment, the mounting structure includes a first mounting plate, the two ends of which are rotatably connected to the corresponding hanging structure and the other end of the support rod along a transversely extending axis.

[0009] In one embodiment, a through hole is provided on the upper end face of the first mounting plate; The mounting structure also includes: The second mounting plate is located below the first mounting plate. The ends of the second mounting plate are bent upwards in both the horizontal and vertical directions and are connected to the edge of the through hole. The second mounting plate is used to accommodate the gimbal. A through hole is provided on the upper end surface of the second mounting plate for the gimbal handle to pass through. A conversion plate is provided over the through hole and is detachably connected to the first mounting plate. The conversion plate is used for mounting the shooting equipment.

[0010] In one embodiment, the support rod has a plurality of second connecting holes spaced apart on one end face in the longitudinal direction, each of the second connecting holes being threaded, and the plurality of second connecting holes being used to connect with a shooting device.

[0011] In one embodiment, the mounting structure includes a magnetic structure for magnetically attaching to the vehicle body; or, The mounting structure includes a vacuum suction cup structure, which is used to adhere to the car body.

[0012] In one embodiment, the mounting structure is further provided with an auxiliary mounting structure, which is located at the upper end of the mounting structure and protrudes upward from the mounting structure. The auxiliary mounting structure is used for mounting the shooting equipment.

[0013] In one embodiment, in the two mounting structures, at least one mounting structure includes a plurality of mounting parts, which are arranged laterally at intervals and are connected to the support rod or the mounting structure. All of the mounting parts are used to connect with the vehicle body.

[0014] In one embodiment, the vehicle-mounted device further includes multiple hanging rope structures, which are arranged at lateral intervals, and each hanging rope structure includes: A connector is provided on the upper mounting structure; and, The retaining ring is flexibly designed and is used to be fitted onto the door frame of the car, and is connected to the connector via a connecting rope. The length of the connecting rope is adjustable.

[0015] In one embodiment, the vehicle-mounted device further includes a damping element disposed between the support rod and one of the mounting structures; and / or, The vehicle-mounted device further includes a damping element, which is disposed between the mounting structure and another of the hanging structures; and / or, The vehicle-mounted camera also includes a damping element, which is disposed between the support rod and the mounting structure.

[0016] In this invention, when the vehicle camera is not in use, neither of the two mounting structures is connected to the car body, and the vehicle camera is in a retracted state. The support rod and the mounting structure are stacked. When the user needs to use the vehicle camera, the support rod and the mounting structure rotate relative to each other, and the two mounting structures are connected to the car body at intervals along the vertical direction, thus completing the installation of the vehicle camera. At this time, the camera can be mounted on the mounting structure, thereby achieving a fixed installation of the camera. Furthermore, by adjusting the installation positions of the two mounting structures, the position of the mounting structure can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the installation position of the camera to achieve shooting from different positions. By adjusting the relative distance between the two mounting structures, the longitudinal tilt angle of the mounting structure can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the longitudinal installation angle of the camera to achieve shooting from different longitudinal tilt angles. Additionally, by adjusting the two mounting structures to be staggered laterally, the lateral tilt angle of the mounting structure can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the lateral installation angle of the camera to achieve shooting from different lateral tilt angles. This setup allows for adjustment of the mounting position and relative distance between the two mounting structures, enabling control over the installation position and tilt angle of the shooting device in various directions. This ensures both the lightweight design and ease of operation of the vehicle-mounted camera while allowing for multi-angle adjustable shooting, thus improving the user experience. Furthermore, the camera is designed for installation on a car body, with its mounting base lower than the car window. This ensures that when the photographer needs to raise or lower the window depending on the environment, the camera will not interfere with the normal raising and lowering of the window, guaranteeing its proper operation and allowing for continuous shooting throughout the process.

[0024] This utility model proposes a vehicle-mounted camera. It aims to address the problem that existing vehicle-mounted cameras are typically bulky and cannot simultaneously meet the multi-angle shooting requirements of the equipment while achieving lightweight and miniaturization, thus improving ease of use.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-3 In one embodiment of this utility model, the vehicle camera 100 includes a support structure 1 and an installation structure 2. The support structure 1 includes a support rod 11 and two hanging structures 12. One end of the support rod 11 is rotatably connected to one of the hanging structures 12 along a laterally extending axis. The two hanging structures 12 are spaced apart vertically and are both used to connect with the vehicle body. The installation structure 2 is located between the support rod 11 and the other hanging structure 12. One end of the installation structure 2 is rotatably connected to the corresponding hanging structure 12 along a laterally extending axis, and the other end is rotatably connected to the other end of the support rod 11 along a laterally extending axis. The installation structure 2 is used for mounting the shooting device.

[0026] In this invention, when the vehicle camera 100 is not in use, neither of the two mounting structures 12 is connected to the car body. At this time, the vehicle camera 100 is in a retracted state, with the support rod 11 overlapping the mounting structure 2. When the user needs to use the vehicle camera 100, the support rod 11 and the mounting structure 2 rotate relative to each other, and the two mounting structures 12 are connected to the car body at intervals along the vertical direction, thus completing the installation of the vehicle camera 100. At this point, the camera equipment can be mounted on the mounting structure 2, thereby achieving a fixed installation of the camera equipment. Furthermore, by adjusting... The installation positions of the two mounting structures 12 can be adjusted to change the position of the mounting structure 2, thereby changing the installation position of the photographic equipment to achieve shooting from different positions. By adjusting the relative distance between the two mounting structures 12, the tilt angle of the mounting structure 2 in the longitudinal direction can be adjusted, thereby changing the installation angle of the photographic equipment in the longitudinal direction to achieve shooting at different longitudinal tilt angles. Furthermore, by adjusting the two mounting structures 12 to be staggered in the lateral direction, the tilt angle of the mounting structure 2 in the lateral direction can be adjusted, thereby changing the installation angle of the photographic equipment in the lateral direction to achieve shooting at different lateral tilt angles. This setup allows for adjustment of the installation position and tilt angle of the shooting device in various directions by adjusting the positions and relative distance of the two mounting structures 12. This ensures the lightweight design and convenient operation of the vehicle camera 100 while enabling multi-angle adjustable shooting, thus improving the user experience. Furthermore, the vehicle camera 100 is only intended for installation on the vehicle body, and its installation reference can be lower than the vehicle window. In this case, when the photographer needs to raise or lower the window according to the environment, the vehicle camera 100 will not affect the normal raising and lowering of the window, ensuring the normal operation of the window and enabling continuous shooting throughout the process.

[0027] Specifically, in one embodiment of this utility model, when the relative distance and relative position of the two hanging structures 12 are constant, the installation position of the shooting device can be adjusted simply by adjusting the position of the two hanging structures 12.

[0028] In another embodiment of this utility model, when the relative positions of the two hanging structures 12 in the horizontal direction and the setting positions of the two hanging structures 12 are constant, the tilt angle of the shooting device in the vertical direction can be adjusted simply by adjusting the relative distance between the two hanging structures 12.

[0029] In another embodiment of this utility model, when the relative distance between the two hanging structures 12 and the setting position of the two hanging structures 12 are constant, the tilt angle of the shooting device in the horizontal direction can be adjusted simply by adjusting the relative position of the two hanging structures 12 in the horizontal direction.

[0030] Of course, in other embodiments of this utility model, two or three of the following can be adjusted simultaneously: the relative distance between the two hanging structures 12, the setting position of the two hanging structures 12, and the relative position of the two hanging structures 12 in the lateral direction. This allows for comprehensive adjustment of the longitudinal tilt angle, installation position, and lateral tilt angle of the shooting device, thereby achieving multiple adjustments to the shooting device, expanding the applicability of the vehicle camera 100, and further meeting the user's needs.

[0031] Furthermore, if the user can pre-set the tilt angle of the camera before connecting it to the car body, the ease of use of the camera 100 can be further improved. Therefore, in one embodiment of this utility model, the camera 100 also includes a damping element disposed between the support rod 11 and one of the mounting structures 12. With this configuration, after the user adjusts the angle between the support rod 11 and one of the mounting structures 12, the damping element can apply damping to the support rod 11 and the mounting structure 12, thereby limiting the relative rotation of the support rod 11 and the mounting structure 12, allowing them to maintain their current angle.

[0032] In another embodiment of this utility model, the vehicle-mounted device 100 further includes a damping element disposed between the mounting structure 2 and the other hanging structure 12. With this configuration, after the user adjusts the angle between the mounting structure 2 and the other hanging structure 12, the damping element can apply damping to the mounting structure 2 and the other hanging structure 12, thereby limiting the relative rotation of the mounting structure 2 and the other hanging structure 12 and allowing them to maintain their current angle.

[0033] In another embodiment of this utility model, the vehicle-mounted device 100 further includes a damping element disposed between the support rod 11 and the mounting structure 2. Thus, after the angle between the support rod 11 and the mounting structure 2 is adjusted, the relative rotation between the support rod 11 and the mounting structure 2 is restricted under the influence of the damping element, allowing them to maintain their current angle.

[0034] Specifically, in this utility model, multiple damping components are provided, and the damping components are provided between the support rod 11 and one of the hanging structures 12, between the mounting structure 2 and the other hanging structure 12, and between the support rod 11 and the mounting structure 2.

[0035] It should be noted that, to ensure the installation strength of the shooting device on the mounting structure 2, in one embodiment of this utility model, a plurality of first connecting holes 3 are spaced apart on the upper end face of the mounting structure 2. Each first connecting hole 3 is threaded, and the plurality of first connecting holes 3 are used to connect with the shooting device. This arrangement allows the plurality of first connecting holes 3 to be adapted to various models of the shooting device, enabling different models of the shooting device to be installed on the mounting structure 2, thereby improving the applicability of the mounting structure 2. Furthermore, the threaded arrangement of each first connecting hole 3 further improves the connection stability between the mounting structure 2 and the shooting device.

[0036] Of course, it should be noted that the present invention does not limit the aperture of the plurality of first connecting holes 3. In one embodiment of the present invention, the plurality of first connecting holes 3 are all set to the same aperture. In another embodiment of the present invention, at least some of the first connecting holes 3 have different apertures, which can further improve the applicability of the mounting structure 2.

[0037] It should also be noted that the present invention does not limit the specific spacing between the plurality of first connecting holes 3. In one embodiment of the present invention, the distance between any two of the plurality of first connecting holes 3 is equidistant; in another embodiment of the present invention, the distance between any two of the plurality of first connecting holes 3 is different.

[0038] Specifically, the diameter and spacing of the multiple first connecting holes 3 can be set according to different models of the shooting equipment. In actual settings, they can be selected according to the requirements.

[0039] It is understandable that the connection points of most existing shooting devices of different models are planar. Therefore, to further ensure the stability of the shooting device mounted on the mounting structure 2, please refer to... Figure 4 In one embodiment of this utility model, the mounting structure 2 includes a first mounting plate 21. The two ends of the first mounting plate 21 in the longitudinal direction are rotatably connected to the corresponding hanging structure 12 and the other end of the support rod 11 along a transversely extending axis. A plurality of first connecting holes 3 are provided in the first mounting plate 21. With this configuration, when the shooting device is mounted on the first mounting plate 21, the connecting end of the shooting device can be tightly fitted with the upper surface of the first mounting plate 21, thereby ensuring stable force distribution on the first mounting plate 21 and improving the installation stability of the shooting device.

[0040] It should be noted that some existing models of the aforementioned shooting equipment have a spherical connection part, such as gimbal devices. To further improve the applicability of the vehicle-mounted camera 100 and ensure the stability of this type of shooting equipment mounted on the mounting structure 2, please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 1 In another embodiment of this utility model, a through hole 211 is provided on the upper end face of the first mounting plate 21, and the plurality of first connecting holes 3 are all arranged to avoid the through hole 211. The mounting structure 2 also includes a second mounting plate 22, which is located below the first mounting plate 21. The ends of the second mounting plate 22 are curved upward in both the horizontal and vertical directions and connect to the edge of the through hole 211. The second mounting plate 22 is used to accommodate the gimbal. With this arrangement, when the gimbal or other shooting device with a spherical connecting end is mounted on the mounting structure 2, it can fit tightly against the second mounting plate 22, thereby ensuring stable force distribution and improving the installation stability of the shooting device.

[0041] Of course, please see Figure 5 Furthermore, this utility model can further expand the applicability of the vehicle camera 100, enabling it to be installed not only on devices with spherical connecting parts, such as gimbals, but also on devices with planar connecting parts, such as cameras. Therefore, in a further embodiment of this utility model, the mounting structure 2 further includes a conversion plate 23, which covers the through hole 211 and is detachably connected to the first mounting plate 21. The conversion plate 23 is used for mounting shooting equipment. With this configuration, when a user needs to install a device with a planar connecting part onto the vehicle camera 100, the user can first connect the conversion plate 23 to the first mounting plate 21 so that the conversion plate 23 covers the through hole 211, and then install the shooting device onto the conversion plate 23, thereby completing the installation of the device with a planar connecting part. When a user needs to install a shooting device with a spherical connecting part onto the vehicle camera 100, the user can first remove the conversion plate 23 from the first mounting plate 21. At this time, the through hole 211 is exposed, and the second mounting plate 22 is exposed through the through hole 211. The user can then install the shooting device with a spherical connecting part onto the mounting structure 2, and make it fit tightly against the second mounting plate 22, thereby ensuring the installation stability of the shooting device.

[0042] Of course, this utility model does not limit the specific shape of the conversion plate 23. In one embodiment of this utility model, the shape of the conversion plate 23 can be set as a rectangle, in which case the shorter side length of the conversion plate 23 is not less than the diameter of the through hole 211; in another embodiment of this utility model, the shape of the conversion plate 23 can also be set as a circle, in which case the diameter of the conversion plate 23 is not less than the diameter of the through hole 1; and in other embodiments of this utility model, the conversion plate 23 can also be set as other shapes, which can be selected according to the requirements in actual setting.

[0043] In this embodiment, the shape of the conversion plate 23 is set to be circular.

[0044] Furthermore, it should be noted that, for example, the gimbal device has a non-removable handle. To ensure the compact size and lightweight characteristics of the vehicle-mounted camera 100 while meeting the installation requirements of the gimbal handle, in a further embodiment of this utility model, a through hole 221 is provided on the upper end surface of the second mounting plate 22. The through hole 221 is used for the gimbal handle to pass through. With this arrangement, the gimbal handle can pass through the through hole 221 from top to bottom, avoiding interference between the gimbal handle and the second mounting plate 22, which would affect the installation of the gimbal. At this time, the gimbal can be tightly abutted against the second mounting plate 22 and can also be stably installed on the mounting structure 2.

[0045] Furthermore, to enable the vehicle-mounted camera 100 to accommodate multiple devices simultaneously, allowing for simultaneous shooting from different angles and with different devices, and further expanding the applicability of the vehicle-mounted camera 100, in one embodiment of this invention, the support rod 11 has a plurality of second connecting holes 4 spaced apart on one end face in the longitudinal direction. Each second connecting hole 4 is threaded, and all of the second connecting holes 4 are used to connect with shooting devices. This arrangement allows the multiple second connecting holes 4 to accommodate various models of shooting devices, enabling different models of shooting devices to be mounted on the support rod 11, thereby increasing the applicability of the support rod 11. Moreover, the threaded arrangement of each second connecting hole 4 further improves the connection stability between the support rod 11 and the shooting device.

[0046] Similarly, it should be noted that the present invention does not limit the aperture of the plurality of second connecting holes 4. In one embodiment of the present invention, the plurality of second connecting holes 4 are all set to the same aperture. In another embodiment of the present invention, at least some of the second connecting holes 4 have different apertures, which can further improve the applicability of the support rod 11.

[0047] It should also be noted that the present invention does not limit the specific spacing between the plurality of second connecting holes 4. In one embodiment of the present invention, the distance between any two of the plurality of second connecting holes 4 is equidistant; in another embodiment of the present invention, the distance between any two of the plurality of second connecting holes 4 is different.

[0048] Specifically, the diameter and spacing of the multiple second connecting holes 4 can be set according to different models of the shooting equipment. In actual settings, they can be selected according to the requirements.

[0049] Of course, since the connection parts of most existing shooting devices of different models are planar, in order to further ensure the stability of the shooting device mounted on the support rod 11, in one embodiment of this utility model, the support rod 11 can be configured as a square rod. With this configuration, when the shooting device is mounted on the support rod 11, the connection end of the shooting device can fit tightly against the end face of the support rod 11, thereby ensuring the stable force distribution of the shooting device on the support rod 11 and improving the installation stability of the shooting device.

[0050] To improve the ease of use of the vehicle-mounted device 100 and reduce damage to the car body caused by its use, in one embodiment of this invention, the mounting structure 12 includes a magnetic structure for magnetically connecting to the car body. With this configuration, when the user needs to use the vehicle-mounted device 100, they only need to bring the magnetic structure close to the car body; the magnetic structure will automatically and magnetically adhere to the car body under the influence of magnetism, thus completing the installation of the vehicle-mounted device 100. Furthermore, because the magnetic structure is magnetically connected to the car body, the user can remove the vehicle-mounted device 100 from the car body at any time after use without leaving any connection marks. This ensures the stability of the connection between the vehicle-mounted device 100 and the car body while maintaining the integrity and aesthetics of the car body shape.

[0051] Of course, it is understood that this utility model does not limit the specific magnetic force of the magnetic attraction structure. The specific magnetic force of the magnetic attraction structure only needs to ensure that the magnetic attraction structure will not fall off the car body or be relatively displaced from the car body when the user uses the car camera 100. Specifically, it can be selected during actual setup.

[0052] Similarly, this utility model does not limit the specific form of the hanging structure 12. In another embodiment of this utility model, the hanging structure 12 includes a vacuum suction cup structure, which is used to adhere to the car body. With this configuration, when the user needs to use the car slapper 100, the vacuum suction cup structure needs to be pressed onto the car body, and the air between the vacuum suction cup structure and the car body needs to be emptied so that a negative pressure is formed between the vacuum suction cup structure and the car body, thereby adhering the vacuum suction cup to the car body and completing the installation of the car slapper 100. At the same time, since the vacuum suction cup structure is adsorbed and connected to the car body, the user can remove the car slapper 100 from the car body after use, thus leaving no marks on the car body and ensuring the integrity and aesthetics of the car body shape.

[0053] Furthermore, it should be noted that when the user brings the magnetic structure close to the car body and it attaches to the car body, in order to reduce the potential damage to the car body caused by the impact of the magnetic structure, in a further embodiment of this utility model, the hanging structure 12 also includes an elastic sleeve, which is fitted onto the magnetic structure. With this configuration, when the magnetic structure impacts the car body, the elastic sleeve can buffer the impact between the magnetic structure and the car body, thereby offsetting the impact force between the magnetic structure and the car body, and further protecting the car body from deformation when the user uses the car swatter 100.

[0054] In another embodiment of this utility model, the mounting structure 12 may also be provided with a flexible sleeve, which is fitted onto the magnetic structure. With this arrangement, when the magnetic structure collides with the car body, the flexible sleeve can also provide buffer protection for the impact between the two.

[0055] Of course, this utility model does not limit the specific material of the flexible sleeve. In one embodiment of this utility model, the material of the elastic sleeve can be elastic rubber; in another embodiment of this utility model, the material of the elastic sleeve can also be silicone; in yet another embodiment of this utility model, the material of the elastic sleeve can also be elastic sponge or other elastic material. In actual installation, the material can be selected according to the requirements.

[0056] In addition, please see Figure 10Since the mounting structure 12 is directly connected to the side body or door of the car, in order to prevent the connection between the mounting structure 12 and the side body or door of the car from failing during the car's operation, which would cause the car camera 100 to fall off the car and damage the car camera 100 and the shooting equipment, in one embodiment of this utility model, the car camera 100 further includes multiple hanging rope structures 6. The multiple hanging rope structures 6 are arranged laterally at intervals. Each hanging rope structure 6 includes a connector 61 and a fixing ring 62. The connector 61 is disposed on the upper mounting structure 12. The fixing ring 62 is flexibly disposed and is used to be sleeved on the door frame of the car. It is connected to the connector 61 by a connecting rope 63. The length of the connecting rope 63 is adjustable. With this configuration, when the vehicle camera 100 is installed on a car body, not only is the mounting structure 12 connected to the side of the car or the car door, but the hanging rope structure 6 also connects the mounting structure 12 to the car door frame. During installation, the user can first fix the fixing ring 62 to the car door frame, and then fix the mounting structure 12 to the side of the car. Since the fixing ring 62 and the connector 61 are connected by the connecting rope 63, the user can adjust the length of the connecting rope 63 to tighten it. The connecting member 61 and the fixing ring 62 further fix the vehicle camera 100 to the door frame of the car. At this time, even if the connection between the mounting structure 12 and the side body or door of the car fails, the fixing ring 62 can continue to provide support for the vehicle camera 100 because the connecting member 61 is still connected to the fixing ring 62 through the connecting rope 63. This ensures the installation stability of the vehicle camera 100 and prevents the vehicle camera 100 from being detached from the car by external forces or other factors, thus preventing damage to the vehicle camera 100 and the shooting equipment.

[0057] It is understood that this utility model does not limit the specific structural form of the connector 61. In one embodiment of this utility model, the connector 61 can be configured as a connecting rod, which protrudes from the hanging structure 12. With this configuration, when the connecting rope 63 needs to connect to the connecting rod, the connecting rope 63 can be wrapped around the connecting rod and the connection stability between the connecting rope 63 and the connecting rod can be ensured by tying a knot.

[0058] In another embodiment of this utility model, the connecting rod can be configured as a connecting ring, and a threaded rod protrudes from the circumferential end of the connecting ring. The threaded rod is threadedly connected to the hanging structure 12. In this way, when the connecting rope 63 needs to connect to the connecting rod, the connecting rope 63 can pass through the connecting ring and tie a knot to ensure connection stability.

[0059] In another embodiment of this utility model, when the connector 61 is set as the connecting ring, the connecting rope 63 and the connecting ring can also be connected by a buckle structure (such as a carabiner). This arrangement not only ensures the connection stability of the connecting rope 63 and the connecting ring, but also facilitates disassembly and assembly, thereby further improving the loading and unloading efficiency of the vehicle-mounted device 100.

[0060] Similarly, this utility model does not limit the specific structural form of the fixing ring 62. In this utility model, the hanging rope structure 6 includes a flexible strip, one end of which has a rough surface and the other end has a hook surface. When it is necessary to fix the car catcher 100 to the car, the flexible strip is arranged around the door frame of the car, and the rough surface contacts the hook surface. At this time, the rough surface is connected to the hook surface to form the fixing ring 62. In this way, not only can the door frame of the car beating device 100 be protected while using it, but the loading and unloading efficiency of the car catcher 100 can also be further improved.

[0061] When the fixing ring 62 is formed by the flexible strip, in order to ensure the connection stability between the connecting rope 63 and the fixing ring 62, in a further embodiment of this utility model, the flexible strip is provided with a lifting lug, and the connecting rope 63 is fixedly connected to the lifting lug.

[0062] Furthermore, to ensure the adjustability of the length of the connecting rope 63, in one embodiment of this utility model, a tightening device is provided on the connecting rope 63, which is used to tighten or lengthen the connecting rope 63.

[0063] It should also be noted that you can refer to [link / reference]. Figure 5 When a user uses the vehicle-mounted camera 100, its vertical position may be lower than the car window. Consequently, the shooting device mounted on the camera 100 is also lower than the car window, causing inconvenience for the user. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the installation height of the shooting device. In one embodiment of this invention, the mounting structure 2 is further provided with an auxiliary mounting structure 5. The auxiliary mounting structure 5 is located at the upper end of the mounting structure 2 and protrudes upwards from it. This auxiliary mounting structure 5 is used for mounting the shooting device. With this configuration, since the auxiliary mounting structure 5 protrudes upwards from the mounting structure 2, it can raise the installation position, thereby increasing the installation height of the shooting device and ensuring a comfortable user experience.

[0064] Similarly, this utility model does not show the specific structural form of the auxiliary mounting structure 5. In one embodiment of this utility model, the auxiliary mounting structure 5 includes a boss, the upper end of which is used for mounting the shooting equipment.

[0065] In another embodiment of this utility model, the auxiliary mounting structure 5 includes a ring, which is rectangular in shape and has a long side and a short side arranged adjacent to each other. One of the long side and the short side of the ring is fixedly connected to the mounting structure 2. This arrangement not only increases the mounting height of the shooting device, but also ensures that when the long side of the ring is fixedly connected to the mounting structure 2, the increased mounting height of the shooting device is lower than when the short side of the ring is fixedly connected to the mounting structure 2. Thus, the mounting height of the shooting device can be adjusted according to the user's needs, further expanding the applicability of the vehicle camera 100.

[0066] Specifically, in an embodiment, the auxiliary installation structure 5 includes a ring, which is rectangular and has an adjacent long side and a short side. The long side of the ring has a length of 70 mm, and the short side has a length of 50 mm.

[0067] Please see Figure 6 In a further embodiment of this utility model, the auxiliary mounting structure is inclined from bottom to top towards the direction of the car body. With this configuration, the auxiliary mounting structure has a first end and a second end that are arranged opposite each other in the vertical direction, with the first end above the second end. The second end is connected to the mounting structure, and the first end is used for mounting the shooting device. With this configuration, when the shooting device is mounted on the auxiliary mounting structure, since the first end is close to the car body, the shooting device is also close to the car body along with the first end. At this time, the shooting device is closer to the car window, so the user can operate the shooting device more conveniently inside the car, thereby improving the user's ease of operation.

[0068] Furthermore, the connection stability between the vehicle-mounted device 100 and the car body can be improved in other ways. For example, the contact area between the mounting structure 12 and the car body can be increased. In one embodiment of this invention, the dimensions of the two mounting structures 12 are enlarged. Alternatively, the number of connection points between the mounting structure 12 and the car body can be increased. In another embodiment of this invention, at least one of the two mounting structures 12 includes multiple mounting parts 121, which are spaced laterally and connected to the support rod 11 or the mounting structure 2. All mounting parts 121 are used to connect with the car body. This arrangement, by increasing the number of connection points between the mounting structure 12 and the car body, also increases the connection stability between the vehicle-mounted device 100 and the car body, thereby improving the safety of the vehicle-mounted device 100 and ensuring a better user experience.

[0069] It should be noted that when the hanging structure 12 includes multiple hanging parts 121, the present invention does not limit the specific number of hanging parts 121. In one embodiment of the present invention, the hanging structure 12 includes two hanging parts 121; in another embodiment of the present invention, the hanging structure 12 includes three hanging parts 121. Specifically, in actual installation, the selection can be made according to the requirements.

[0070] Please see Figure 7 In a specific embodiment of this utility model, the mounting structure 12 located on the upper side includes two mounting portions 121 arranged horizontally at intervals. Multiple mounting portions 121 are connected to one end of the mounting structure 2. This arrangement can further improve the connection performance between the mounting structure 12 and the car body, thereby increasing the support force on the mounting structure 2. In use, it can further ensure the safety of the shooting equipment installed on the mounting structure 2.

[0071] Please see Figure 8 In another specific embodiment of this utility model, the mounting structure 12 located on the lower side includes two mounting parts 121 arranged laterally at intervals. Multiple mounting parts 121 are connected to one end of the support rod 11. This arrangement can further improve the connection performance between the mounting structure 12 and the car body, thereby increasing the support force on the mounting structure 2 and ensuring the safety of the shooting equipment.

[0072] Of course, please see Figure 9In another embodiment of the present invention, each of the two mounting structures 12 includes two mounting portions 121 arranged laterally at intervals. With this arrangement, each of the two mounting structures 12 has two connection points with the car body, so that the vehicle camera 100 can be more stably connected to the car body, thereby ensuring the safety and installation stability of the shooting equipment.

[0073] It should also be noted that this utility model does not limit the specific connection position between the support rod 11 and the hanging structure 12. In one embodiment of this utility model, the support rod 11 is rotatably connected to one end face of the hanging structure 12 in the longitudinal direction and is located at the center of the hanging structure 12. With this configuration, when the user uses the vehicle swatter 100, the hanging structure 12 provides stable support for the support rod 11.

[0074] In another embodiment of this utility model, the support rod 11 is rotatably connected to one end face of the hanging structure 12 in the longitudinal direction and is positioned close to one end of the hanging structure 12 in the transverse direction. With this configuration, the hanging structure 12 can also provide support for the support rod 11.

[0075] The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the technical concept of the present utility model and the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
