[0023] This invention provides a camera unit. The camera unit has a first direction X and a second direction Z perpendicular to each other. The camera unit includes a unit body 100, a first housing 200, and a second housing 300.

[0024] Specifically, the unit body 100 is provided with a first engagement groove 101 and a second engagement groove 102 on both sides in the first direction X. The first housing 200 is located on one side of the unit body 100 in the first direction X. A first engagement block 210 is provided on the side of the first housing 200 facing the unit body 100, and the first engagement block 210 engages with the second engagement groove 102. The second housing 300 is located on the side of the unit body 100 that is spaced apart from the first housing 200. A second engagement block 310 is provided on the side of the second housing 300 facing the unit body 100, and the second engagement block 310 engages with the first engagement groove 101. The first housing 200 and the second housing 300 are detachably connected. The first housing 200 and the second housing 300 are joined together to form a housing chamber 1000. The housing chamber 1000 has an opening 1001 in the second direction Z. The unit body 100 is placed inside the containment chamber 1000 and is positioned to penetrate the opening 1001.

[0025] The first direction X is the lateral direction, i.e., the radial direction between the first housing 200 and the second housing 300, and the second direction Z is the vertical direction.

[0026] As shown in Figures 1, 5, and 6, an engagement method of connection is employed to easily enclose the outer circumference of the entire unit body 100. Specifically, the first engagement block 210 of the first housing 200 engages with the second engagement groove 102 of the unit body 100, thereby connecting the first housing 200 and the unit body 100, and the second engagement block 310 of the second housing 300 engages with the first engagement groove 101 of the unit body 100, thereby connecting the second housing 300 and the unit body 100. Furthermore, the first housing 200 and the second housing 300 each exhibit a semi-annular shape as a whole, and the first housing 200 and the second housing 300 are connected in a separable manner. When the first housing 200 and the second housing 300 are connected, a complete annular housing having a housing chamber 1000 is formed. When the first housing 200 and the second housing 300 are connected, and also connected to the unit body 100, the unit body 100 is located inside the housing chamber 1000. This provides enclosure around the outer periphery of the unit body 100, preventing external dust from entering the interior of the unit body 100 and thus protecting the unit body 100.

[0027] Furthermore, in order for the unit body 100 to photograph the external environment, an opening 1001 communicating with the housing chamber 1000 is provided at the connection surface between the first housing 200 and the second housing 300. This allows the external environment to be photographed by positioning the camera unit of the unit body 100 at the location of the opening 1001.

[0028] In this embodiment, the connection of the first housing 200 and the second housing 300 forms a housing that encloses the outer circumference of the unit body 100 by engagement, thereby protecting the unit body 100 inside the housing. Since both the first housing 200 and the second housing 300 are connected to the unit body 100 by engagement, they can be attached to the unit body 100 simultaneously from both sides during assembly, improving installation efficiency.

[0029] In some embodiments, the unit body 100 is provided with at least one first positioning groove 103 and at least one second positioning groove 104 on both sides in a first direction X. The first positioning groove 103 is located on the same side as the first engagement groove 101, and the second positioning groove 104 is located on the same side as the second engagement groove 102. A first positioning block 220 is provided on the side of the first housing 200 facing the unit body 100, and at least a portion of the first positioning block 220 is inserted into the second positioning groove 104. A second positioning block 320 is provided on the side of the second housing 300 facing the unit body 100, and at least a portion of the second positioning block 320 is inserted into the first positioning groove 103.

[0030] As shown in Figures 3, 4, 5, and 6, when the first housing 200 and the second housing 300 are engaged and attached to the unit body 100, corresponding first positioning grooves 103 and second positioning grooves 104 are provided on both sides of the unit body 100 to prevent separation of the first housing 200 and the second housing 300 from the unit body 100 after engagement. Specifically, the first positioning groove 103 is on the same side as the first engagement groove 101, and the second positioning groove 104 is on the same side as the second engagement groove 102. Accordingly, the second housing 300 is provided with a second positioning block 320 that aligns with the first positioning groove 103, and the first housing 200 is provided with a first positioning block 220 that aligns with the second positioning groove 104.

[0031] When the second housing 300 engages with the unit body 100, the second housing 300 is moved toward the unit body 100 so that the second positioning block 320 is inserted into the first positioning groove 103 first. Then, as the second housing 300 moves further toward the unit body 100, the second engagement block 310 engages with the first engagement groove 101. The positioning by fitting the second positioning block 320 with the first positioning groove 103, and the engagement of the second engagement block 310 with the first engagement groove 101, achieve the positioning of the second housing 300 relative to the unit body 100 in the first direction X, the second direction Z, and the third direction Y, thereby preventing the second housing 300 from separating from the unit body 100.

[0032] When the first housing 200 engages with the unit body 100, the first housing 200 is moved toward the unit body 100 so that the first positioning block 220 is inserted into the second positioning groove 104 first. As the first housing 200 moves further toward the unit body 100, the first engagement block 210 engages with the second engagement groove 102. The positioning by fitting the first positioning block 220 with the second positioning groove 104, and the engagement of the first engagement block 210 with the second engagement groove 102, achieve the positioning of the first housing 200 relative to the unit body 100 in the first direction X, the second direction Z, and the third direction Y, thereby preventing the first housing 200 from separating from the unit body 100.

[0033] In other embodiments, in order to further prevent separation of the unit body 100 from the first housing 200 or the second housing 300, the unit body 100 may be attached to the first housing 200 or the second housing 300 by screw fastening to further improve the connection strength.

[0034] In some embodiments, a protruding block 230 is provided at each end of the first housing 200 in the second direction Z, and a third engagement groove 231 is provided in the protruding block 230. A third engagement block 330 is provided at each end of the second housing 300 in the second direction Z, and the third engagement block 330 is engaged with the third engagement groove 231.

[0035] As shown in Figures 2, 5, 6, and 7, the first housing 200 and the second housing 300 are also connected by engagement in order to enable quick attachment and detachment of the first housing 200 and the second housing 300. Specifically, a third engagement groove 231 is provided on a protruding block 230 on the side of the first housing 200 facing the second housing 300, and accordingly, a third engagement block 330 is provided on the side of the second housing 300 facing the first housing 200, which is aligned with the third engagement groove 231. When the first housing 200 and the second housing 300 move toward each other and are connected, the third engagement block 330 is inserted into and engages with the third engagement groove 231, thereby enabling quick assembly of the first housing 200 and the second housing 300.

[0036] In some embodiments, the protruding block 230 is provided with reinforcing ribs.

[0037] Referring to Figures 2 and 5, multiple reinforcing ribs are provided on the side of the protruding block 230 facing the housing chamber 1000 in order to increase the overall strength of the protruding block 230 and prevent fracture. The reinforcing ribs increase the deformation resistance of the protruding block 230.

[0038] In some embodiments, the first housing 200 has a first chamber 201, and the second housing 300 has a second chamber 301. The first chamber 201 and the second chamber 301 are in communication to form a housing chamber 1000. In the second chamber 301, a position limiting block 340 is fixedly provided at the end of the inner wall in the second direction Z, and a position limiting groove 341 is provided on the side of the position limiting block 340 facing the first housing 200. A protruding edge 240 is provided at the end of the first housing 200 spaced apart from the first engagement block 210 in the second direction Z, and at least a portion of the protruding edge 240 is inserted into the position limiting groove 341.

[0039] As shown in Figures 2, 5, and 6, when assembling the first housing 200 and the second housing 300, the protruding edge portion 240 is inserted into the position limiting groove 341 to achieve positioning of both, thereby preventing the third engagement block 330 and the third engagement groove 231 from becoming unable to engage due to misalignment during assembly.

[0040] In some embodiments, the unit body 100 includes a fixed shell 110 and a top cover 120. The fixed shell 110 has a mounting chamber 111. The top cover 120 connects to the fixed shell 110 so as to close the mounting chamber 111. At least one camera body 130 is installed in the mounting chamber 111. At least one mounting hole 1201 is provided on the side of the top cover 120 spaced apart from the fixed shell 110. The mounting hole 1201 communicates with the mounting chamber 111. A portion of the camera body 130 is positioned in the mounting hole 1201.

[0041] As shown in Figures 3, 4, and 8, the unit body 100 has a separable structure. The unit body 100 mainly comprises a fixed shell 110 and a top cover 120 that are connected separably. Specifically, these two can be connected by screw fastening. The top cover 120 is for closing the opening in the second direction Z of the mounting chamber 111 of the fixed shell 110, thereby sealing the camera body 130 inside the mounting chamber 111 and preventing external dust from entering the camera body 130 and affecting the image formation of the camera body 130.

[0042] Furthermore, in order for the camera body 130 to capture images of the external environment, a mounting hole 1201 corresponding to the camera body 130 must be provided in the top cover 120. The shooting portion of the camera body 130 is inserted into the mounting hole 1201 so as to be exposed to the external environment, thereby enabling the capture of images of the external environment.

[0043] In some embodiments, the number of camera bodies 130 is at least one, but may be two, three, or more depending on the actual situation, and the number of camera bodies 130 is not limited here.

[0044] In some embodiments, the top cover 120 includes a connecting portion 121 and a projection 122 that are connected to each other, and the connecting portion 121 and the fixed shell 110 are detachably connected. The projection 122 is positioned to penetrate the opening 1001. The projection 122 is provided on the side of the connecting portion 121 spaced apart from the fixed shell 110. The mounting hole 1201 penetrates the projection 122 in a second direction Z. The first engagement groove 101 and the first positioning groove 103 are provided on the side of the projection 122 in a first direction X, and the second engagement groove 102 and the second positioning groove 104 are provided on the side of the projection 122 spaced apart from the first engagement groove 101.

[0045] The surface of the connecting portion 121 that faces the inner wall of the storage chamber 1000 is configured to align with and abut against the inner wall of the storage chamber 1000.

[0046] As shown in Figures 7 and 8, in order to align the top cover 120 with the inner walls of the first housing 200 and the second housing 300, the top cover 120 includes a connecting portion 121 and a projection 122 that are integrally connected. The connecting portion 121 is configured to conform to the shape of the inner walls of the first housing 200 and the second housing 300 and to abut against the inner walls of the first housing 200 and the second housing 300. This prevents a certain degree of misalignment of the entire unit body 100. Furthermore, the first engagement groove 101, the second engagement groove 102, the first positioning groove 103, and the second positioning groove 104 are all provided on the side surface of the projection 122 in the first direction X, and the projection 122 is installed to penetrate the opening 1001, so that the camera body 130 installed in the mounting hole 1201 can capture images of the external environment.

[0047] As shown in Figures 9 and 10, embodiments of the invention further provide an imaging device. The imaging device includes a mounting base 400 and a camera unit as described in any one of the embodiments described above. Specifically, the mounting base 400 has a chamber 410. The camera unit is rotatably installed within the chamber 410.

[0048] Furthermore, the imaging device has a third direction Y perpendicular to the first direction X and the second direction Z, and the first direction X, the second direction Z, and the third direction Y are perpendicular to each other. A rotating drive member 500 is installed at one end of the mounting base 400 in the third direction Y, and the rotating drive member 500 is rotatably connected to the unit body 100. A pin shaft 600 is installed at the end of the mounting base 400 spaced away from the rotating drive member 500, and the unit body 100 is rotatably connected to the pin shaft 600.

[0049] As shown in Figures 3, 4, 8, and 10, the fixed shell 110 is provided with a transmission hole 112 and a fitting hole 113 on both sides in the third direction Y, and the pin shaft 600 is inserted into the fitting hole 113, so that the fixed shell 110 is rotatable relative to the pin shaft 600. The pin shaft 600 is fixedly mounted to the mounting seat 400. Furthermore, in order to rotate the entire unit body 100 to a predetermined angle so that the camera body 130 can take photographs and / or videos from various angles, the pivot shaft of the rotation drive member 500 is inserted into the transmission hole 112 to transmit power, and the entire unit body 100 is rotated by rotating the fixed shell 110 with the rotation drive member 500.

[0050] The transmission hole 112 has a polygonal structure, and accordingly, the portion of the rotating shaft of the rotating drive member 500 that is inserted into the transmission hole 112 has the same shape as the transmission hole 112.

[0051] For example, the rotating drive member 500 is a motor.
