[0045] Please refer to Figure 1, which is a structural schematic diagram of the first embodiment of the camera device of this application. The camera device A provided in this embodiment includes a camera assembly 1 and a mounting bracket 2.

[0046] Camera component 1 is used to capture video images; mounting bracket 2 is electrically connected to an external power source and is detachably connected to camera component 1, used to mount camera component 1 on a wall. The external power source supplies power to camera component 1 through mounting bracket 2. Specifically, the user can first mount mounting bracket 2 on the wall, and then connect camera component 1 to mounting bracket 2, thus mounting camera component 1 on the wall. This avoids the user having to hold the heavy camera component 1 throughout the installation process, reducing the difficulty of installing camera device A; it also prevents camera component 1 from falling and injuring the user during installation, improving the safety of the user and camera device A during installation.

[0047] Please refer to Figures 2 to 5. Figure 2 is a structural schematic diagram of the second embodiment of the camera device of this application; Figure 3 is a structural schematic diagram of the third embodiment of the camera device of this application; Figure 4 is a partial structural schematic diagram of the camera device shown in Figure 2; and Figure 5 is a cross-sectional structural schematic diagram of the camera device shown in Figure 1 along section line I-I'.

[0048] Optionally, the camera assembly 1 includes a main body 11, the surface of which is provided with a first connecting portion 12; the mounting bracket 2 includes a mounting base 21, the mounting base 21 being provided with a second connecting portion 22.

[0049] When the camera assembly 1 is mounted on the wall via the mounting bracket 2, that is, the camera assembly 1 and the mounting bracket 2 are detachably connected, the first connecting part 12 and the second connecting part 22 are detachably connected, so as to realize the electrical connection between the mounting bracket 2 and the camera assembly 1, and the external power supply supplies power to the camera assembly 1 through the mounting bracket 2.

[0050] In this embodiment, the camera assembly 1 and the mounting bracket 2 are detachably connected through the cooperation of the first connecting part 12 and the second connecting part 22. The external power supply powers the camera assembly 1 through the mounting bracket 2. There is no need to set up connecting wires between the camera assembly 1 and the mounting bracket 2. The user can set the mounting bracket 2 on the wall in advance, and then set the camera assembly 1 on the wall through the detachable connection between the camera assembly 1 and the mounting bracket 2, which reduces the installation difficulty of the camera device A.

[0051] In one embodiment, the first connecting portion 12 and the second connecting portion 22 can be a matching snap-fit ​​structure. For example, the first connecting portion 12 can be a sub-snap and the second connecting portion 22 can be a female snap-fit, thereby engaging the sub-snap and the female snap-fit ​​to achieve a detachable connection between the camera assembly 1 and the mounting bracket 2. In other embodiments, the first connecting portion 12 and the second connecting portion 22 can also have other specific structures. Based on achieving a detachable connection between the first connecting portion 12 and the second connecting portion 22, this application does not limit the specific structure of the first connecting portion 12 and the second connecting portion 22.

[0052] Optionally, the first connecting part 12 is provided with a first conductive element 13, which is electrically connected to the camera assembly 1, and the second connecting part 22 is provided with a second conductive element 23, which is connected to an external power source.

[0053] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 5, the first connecting part 12 and the second connecting part 22 are detachably connected, realizing a detachable connection between the camera assembly 1 and the mounting bracket 2. Simultaneously, when the first connecting part 12 and the second connecting part 22 are connected, the first conductive element 13 and the second conductive element 23 come into contact. An external power source can supply power to the camera assembly 1 through the cooperation of the second conductive element 23 and the first conductive element 13, thus electrically connecting the mounting bracket 2 to the camera assembly 1.

[0054] In one embodiment, the first conductive element 13 may be disposed on the first connecting portion 12. When the camera assembly 1 is connected to the mounting bracket 2, the first conductive element 13 may come into contact with the second conductive element 23 as the first connecting portion 12 and the second connecting portion 22 are detachably connected, thereby realizing the electrical connection between the first conductive element 13 and the second conductive element 23.

[0055] In another embodiment, the first connecting part 12 may be made of a conductive material, or all of the material may be made of a conductive material. That is, the first connecting part 12 is the first conductive element 13. When the first connecting part 12 is connected to the second connecting part 22, the first connecting part 12 is electrically connected to the second conductive element 23.

[0056] It is understood that the second conductive element 23 may also be disposed on the second connecting portion 22, or the second connecting portion 22 may be the second conductive element 23. This application does not limit this.

[0057] Optionally, the main body 11 includes at least one first connecting part 12, which are respectively disposed on different surfaces of the main body 11. The main body 11 can be connected to the mounting bracket 2 through any one of the first connecting parts 12.

[0058] In one embodiment, please refer to FIG6, which is a structural schematic diagram of the first embodiment of the camera assembly of this application. The main body 11 includes an adjacent first surface 111 and a second surface 112. The main body 11 is provided with two first connecting portions 12, which are electrically connected and are respectively disposed on the first surface 111 and the second surface 112.

[0059] It is understandable that if the first conductive element 13 is disposed on the first connecting part 12, the two first connecting parts 12 described above are electrically connected, which is the electrical connection of the first conductive element 13 disposed on the two connecting parts 12.

[0060] Furthermore, the mounting bracket 2 can be connected to the main body 11 via the first connecting part 12 on the first surface 111 to install the camera assembly 1 on the wall; or the mounting bracket 2 can be connected to the main body 11 via the first connecting part 12 on the second surface 112 to install the camera assembly 1 on the wall, thereby achieving multi-directional installation of the camera assembly 1, meeting the user's installation needs for the camera assembly 1, and improving the practicality of the camera device A.

[0061] Specifically, the first surface 111 can be located on the top of the main body 11, and the second surface 112 can be located on the side of the main body 11. Thus, when the mounting bracket 2 is connected to the main body 11 through the first connecting part 12 of the first surface 111, the top of the main body 11 is mounted on the wall; or, the mounting bracket 2 is connected to the main body 11 through the first connecting part 12 of the second surface 112, and the side of the main body 11 is mounted on the wall.

[0062] In practical applications, when the user needs to ceiling-mount the camera assembly 1, the mounting bracket 2 can be ceiling-mounted first, and then the mounting bracket 2 can be connected to the main body 11 via the first connecting part 12 on the first surface 111 of the main body 11 to achieve ceiling-mounting of the camera assembly 1. Conversely, if the user needs to wall-mount the camera assembly 1, the mounting bracket 2 can be installed on the wall first, and then connected to the first connecting part 12 on the second surface 112 of the main body 11 to achieve wall-mounting of the camera assembly 1. This increases the versatility of camera device A installation and improves the user experience of camera device A.

[0063] In other embodiments, the user may also set the specific position of the first connecting part 12 on the main body 11 and the specific number of the first connecting parts 12 according to the installation requirements. This application does not limit this.

[0064] In one embodiment, the first connecting part 12 can be a mounting groove, and the second connecting part 22 can be a mounting protrusion. When the camera assembly 1 is connected to the mounting bracket 2, the mounting protrusion is positioned within the mounting groove and engages with it. This reduces the volume occupied by the first connecting part 12 and the second connecting part 22 between the main body 11 and the mounting base 21, shortening the distance between the main body 11 and the mounting base 21 when the camera assembly 1 is connected to the mounting bracket 2. Through the cooperation of the mounting groove and the mounting protrusion, the main body 11 and the mounting base 21 can fit together, improving the stability of the camera assembly 1 mounted on the mounting bracket 2.

[0065] In another embodiment, the first connecting part 12 is a mounting protrusion, and the second connecting part 22 is a mounting groove. When the camera assembly 1 is connected to the mounting bracket 2, the mounting protrusion is positioned within the mounting groove and engages with it. This reduces the volume occupied by the first connecting part 12 and the second connecting part 22 between the main body 11 and the mounting base 21, shortening the distance between the main body 11 and the mounting base 21 when the camera assembly 1 is connected to the mounting bracket 2. Through the cooperation of the mounting groove and the mounting protrusion, the main body 11 and the mounting base 21 can fit together, improving the stability of the camera assembly 1 mounted on the mounting bracket 2.

[0066] In the embodiments shown in Figures 2 to 6, the first connecting part 12 is a mounting groove, and the second connecting part 22 is a mounting protrusion. Thus, the camera assembly 1 and the mounting bracket 2 can be detachably connected through the cooperation of the mounting groove on the surface of the main body 11 and the mounting protrusion of the mounting bracket 2.

[0067] Specifically, as shown in Figures 3 and 4, the side wall of the mounting groove can be provided with an extension 121, and the side of the mounting protrusion away from the mounting base 21 can be provided with a buckle 221. When the mounting protrusion is placed in the mounting groove, the extension 121 abuts against the buckle 221, achieving a snap-fit ​​connection between the mounting groove and the mounting protrusion. After the user places the mounting protrusion in the mounting groove, the mounting protrusion can be rotated so that the buckle 221 aligns with the extension 121, achieving abutment between the buckle 221 and the extension 121.

[0068] The following example uses the first connecting part 12 as the mounting groove and the second connecting part 22 as the mounting protrusion:

[0069] After the user has installed the mounting bracket 2 on the wall, the user can align the mounting groove on the surface of the main body 11 with the mounting protrusion of the mounting bracket 2, and then move the camera assembly 1 closer to the mounting bracket 2 until the mounting protrusion is set in the mounting groove. Then the user can rotate the camera assembly 1 so that the extension 121 on the mounting groove and the buckle 221 on the mounting protrusion are engaged, thus connecting the camera assembly 1 and the mounting bracket 2.

[0070] In one embodiment, a plurality of extensions 121 may be provided in the mounting groove, and a plurality of buckles 221 may be provided on the mounting protrusion to improve the stability of the engagement between the extensions 121 and the buckles 221, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the camera assembly 1 and the mounting bracket 2.

[0071] Furthermore, the extension members 121 and the inverted buckles 221 can be configured correspondingly. For example, the number of extension members 121 is the same as the number of inverted buckles 221, and the distance between any two adjacent extension members 121 is equal to the distance between any two adjacent inverted buckles 221. Thus, when the user rotates the camera assembly 1, each extension member 121 can abut and engage with the corresponding inverted buckle 221, improving the stability of the connection between the camera assembly 1 and the mounting bracket 2.

[0072] Specifically, the mounting bracket 2 provides the camera assembly 1 with a force resisting gravity through the buckle 221 on the mounting protrusion. When the mounting bracket 2 is connected to the camera assembly 1, due to the gravity of the camera assembly 1, the extension 121 exerts a downward force on the buckle 221, and correspondingly, the buckle 221 exerts an upward force on the extension 121, so that the camera assembly 1 resists the effect of gravity. At the same time, since the mounting protrusion is set in the mounting groove, the mounting protrusion contacts the side wall of the mounting groove, which also provides the main body 11 with a force resisting gravity, preventing the camera assembly 1 from detaching from the mounting bracket 2, improving the stability of the camera assembly 1 mounted on the mounting bracket 2, and improving the safety of the camera assembly 1.

[0073] Furthermore, since the second conductive element 23 of the mounting bracket 2 is connected to an external power source, when the camera assembly 1 is connected to the mounting bracket 2, the external power source can directly supply power to the camera assembly 1 through the mounting bracket 2, thereby achieving an electrical connection between the mounting bracket 2 and the camera assembly 1.

[0074] Optionally, please continue to refer to Figures 4, 5, and 7. Figure 7 is a structural schematic diagram of the first embodiment of the power adapter board of this application. When the first connecting part 12 is a mounting groove, the first connecting part 12 may be provided with a power adapter board 14, and at least one first conductive element 13 is disposed on the power adapter board 14.

[0075] After receiving the power supply current transmitted from the external power source through the first conductive element 13, the power supply adapter board 14 can convert the power supply current, such as by stepping down the voltage, to convert the power supply current of the external power source into the current required by the camera assembly 1, so as to power the camera assembly 1 and improve the safety of the external power source powering the camera assembly 1.

[0076] In another embodiment, when the second connecting part 22 is a mounting slot, the power adapter plate 14 is disposed at the second connecting part 22, and the second conductive element 23 is disposed on the power adapter plate 14. The external power supply is connected to the power adapter plate 14. The power adapter plate 14 converts the power supply current of the external power supply and transmits the converted current to the camera assembly 1 through the cooperation of the second conductive element 23 and the first conductive element 13 to power the camera assembly 1.

[0077] The bottom of the mounting groove may include at least one first through hole (not shown), and the at least one first through hole is correspondingly provided with the extension 121, wherein the projection of the first through hole on the bottom of the mounting groove coincides with the projection of the extension 121 on the bottom of the mounting groove.

[0078] The power adapter board 14 is installed inside the main body 11, and the first conductive element 13 on the power adapter board 14 is disposed in the mounting groove through the first through hole, as shown in Figure 4. The first conductive element 121 on the power adapter board 14 is protruding. Therefore, when the power adapter board 14 is disposed close to the mounting groove, the first conductive element 121 can be disposed in the mounting groove through the first through hole.

[0079] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 3, the buckle 221 can be disposed at the end of the second conductive member 23 away from the mounting base 21. Furthermore, as shown in Figure 6, when the camera assembly 1 is connected to the mounting bracket 2, the mounting protrusion is disposed in the mounting groove, and the buckle 221 abuts against the extension member 121. As mentioned above, the projection of the first through hole at the bottom of the mounting groove coincides with the projection of the extension member 121 at the bottom of the mounting groove. Therefore, the buckle 221 can contact the protruding first conductive member 13 located in the mounting groove, thereby achieving contact between the first conductive member 13 and the second conductive member 23.

[0080] The mechanical and electrical connections between the mounting bracket 2 and the camera assembly 1 are achieved through the cooperation of the first conductive element 13, the extension element 121, the second conductive element 23, and the buckle 221. The mounting bracket 2 does not require a wire connection to the camera assembly 1. This provides a method for implementing the proposed solution of first mounting the mounting bracket 2 to the wall and then connecting the camera assembly 1 to the mounting bracket 2 to mount the camera assembly 1 to the wall. This reduces the installation difficulty for users of the camera device A and improves the user experience.

[0081] Optionally, please refer to Figures 8 and 9. Figure 8 is a structural schematic diagram of the fourth embodiment of the camera device of this application, and Figure 9 is a structural schematic diagram of the first embodiment of the waterproof cover of this application. The camera device A also includes a waterproof cover 4, which is detachably connected to the main body 11.

[0082] Specifically, the waterproof cover 4 includes a cover body 41 and a third connecting part 42, which is disposed on one side of the cover body 41.

[0083] As shown in Figure 8, when the camera assembly 1 is not yet connected to the mounting bracket 2, or as shown in Figure 2, when the main body 11 includes multiple first connecting parts 12, the waterproof cover 4 can be connected to the empty first connecting parts 12 on the main body 11. The empty first connecting parts 12 are those not connected to the second connecting parts 22 on the mounting bracket 2, thus shielding the first connecting parts 12 on the main body 11 and preventing dust or moisture from the environment from contacting the first conductive element 13 on the first connecting parts 12. When the waterproof cover 4 is connected to the main body 11, the third connecting part 42 is detachably connected to the first connecting part 12.

[0084] Specifically, as shown in Figure 9, if the first connecting part 12 is a mounting groove, the third connecting part 42 can be a mounting protrusion. The mounting protrusion is also provided with a buckle. The user can move the mounting protrusion of the waterproof cover 4 into the mounting groove on the main body 11 and rotate the waterproof cover 4 so that the buckle abuts and engages with the extension 121, thereby connecting the waterproof cover 4 to the main body 11 and shielding the mounting groove and the first conductive part 13 in the mounting groove.

[0085] In other embodiments, the third connecting part 42 can also be a mounting groove. When the mounting protrusion on the mounting bracket 2 is not connected to the mounting groove on the main body 11, the waterproof cover 4 is placed on the mounting protrusion of the mounting bracket 2 to cover the mounting protrusion of the mounting bracket 2 and the second conductive part 23 thereon, thereby improving the security of the camera device A.

[0086] Furthermore, the projected area of ​​the cover 41 on the main body 11 is larger than the projected area of ​​the first connecting part 12 on the main body 11, so that the cover 41 can completely cover the first connecting part 12 and seal the first connecting part 12.

[0087] The waterproof cover 4 includes a sealing rib 43, which can be disposed on the side of the cover body 41 near the third connecting part 42 and can surround the third connecting part 42. When the waterproof cover 4 is placed on the first connecting part 12, the sealing rib 43 contacts the surface of the main body 11 where the first connecting part 12 is located, so as to increase the friction between the waterproof cover 4 and the main body 11, so that the waterproof cover 4 can be connected to the main body 11. At the same time, it prevents dust and moisture in the environment from contacting the first connecting part 12 through the connection between the waterproof cover 4 and the main body 11, thereby improving the sealing performance of the waterproof cover 4.

[0088] Optionally, please continue to refer to Figure 10, which is a structural schematic diagram of the first embodiment of the mounting bracket of this application. The mounting base 21 has a groove 211 on the side away from the second connecting part 22, and one end of the second conductive member 23 is disposed in the groove 211. An external power supply is electrically connected to the second conductive member 23 located in the groove 211.

[0089] In one embodiment, the bottom of the groove 211 includes at least one second through hole (not shown). The at least one second through hole is disposed at the bottom of the groove 211. One end of the second conductive member 23 can be disposed at the bottom of the groove 211 through the second through hole, thereby allowing an external power supply to be electrically connected to the second conductive member 23 located in the groove 211.

[0090] When the camera assembly 1 is connected to the mounting bracket 2, the second conductive element 23 contacts the first conductive element 13, and the external power supply powers the camera assembly 1.

[0091] The connection between the external power supply and the second conductive component 23 can be located in the groove 211, so that the mounting base 21 can be installed close to the wall, improving the stability of the mounting bracket 2 on the wall. At the same time, the groove 211 shields the connection between the second conductive component 23 and the external power supply, ensuring the safety of the connection between the second conductive component 23 and the external power supply, and further improving the aesthetics of the camera device A.

[0092] Optionally, the camera device A further includes a fixing member 3, and the mounting bracket 2 further includes a waterproof pad 24. The mounting bracket 2 is mounted on the wall via the fixing member 3, as shown in Figures 1 and 7. The fixing member 3 can be a screw, which passes through the mounting base 21 and has one end located on the second connecting part 22 to fix the mounting bracket 2 to the wall. Since the first connecting part 12 and the second connecting part 22 are connected when the camera assembly 1 is connected to the mounting bracket 2, the camera assembly 1 can cover the fixing member 3 without the need for additional covering parts, thus improving the aesthetics of the camera device A.

[0093] In another embodiment, the fixing member 3 may also be disposed inside the mounting base 21. While achieving the purpose of shielding the fixing member 3 and improving the aesthetics of the installation of the camera device A, this application does not limit the specific arrangement structure of the fixing member 3.

[0094] The waterproof pad 24 is located on the side of the mounting base 21 away from the second connection part 22. When the mounting bracket 2 is fixed to the wall by the fastener 3, the waterproof pad 24 is located between the mounting base 21 and the wall to seal the groove 211, preventing dust or moisture in the environment from entering the groove 211 and affecting the connection between the second conductive part 23 and the power supply, thus affecting the operation of the camera assembly 1 and improving the stability of the camera device A.

[0095] Optionally, referring to Figure 3, the mounting bracket 2 also includes a waterproof ring 25. The waterproof ring 25 is disposed on the side of the mounting base 21 near the second connecting part 22 and surrounds the second connecting part 22. When the camera assembly 1 is connected to the mounting bracket 2, the waterproof ring 25 is located between the main body 11 and the mounting base 21 to seal the connection between the first connecting part 12 and the second connecting part 22. This prevents dust or moisture in the environment from contacting the first conductive element 13 on the first connecting part 12 and the second conductive element 23 on the second connecting part 22, which could affect the power supply of the external power source to the camera assembly 1 and affect the operation of the camera assembly 1, thereby improving the stability of the camera device A.

[0096] In summary, the camera device A provided in this application embodiment includes a camera component 1 and a mounting bracket 2. The main body 11 of the camera component 1 is provided with a first connecting part 12, and the mounting base 21 of the mounting bracket 2 is provided with a second connecting part 22. Thus, the user can first install the mounting bracket 2 on the wall. After the mounting bracket 2 is installed, the user can then connect the camera component 1 to the mounting bracket 2 through the cooperation of the first connecting part 12 and the second connecting part 22, so that the camera component 1 can be installed on the wall through the mounting bracket 2.

[0097] Furthermore, when the first conductive element 13 on the first connecting part 12 and the second conductive element 23 on the second connecting part 22 are connected, they come into contact with each other. The second conductive element 23 is connected to an external power source, thereby realizing the electrical connection between the camera assembly 1 and the mounting bracket 2. The external power source supplies power to the camera assembly 1 through the mounting bracket 2. There is no need to set up additional connecting wires between the camera assembly 1 and the mounting bracket 2, which reduces the installation difficulty of the camera device A for the user and improves the user experience of the camera device A.

[0098] The above description is merely an embodiment of this application and does not limit the patent scope of this application. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made using the content of this application's specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this application.
