referring to fig. 1 to 3, fig. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a camera 100 in a limited mounting state according to an embodiment of the present invention, fig. 2 is a schematic perspective view of the camera 100 shown in fig. 1, and fig. 3 is a schematic structural view of the camera 100 shown in fig. 1 at another viewing angle.

The invention provides a camera 100, and the camera 100 is used for shooting a target scene to acquire a digital image of the target scene.

In this embodiment, the camera 100 is applied to a monitoring system, and is used for shooting a moving object in a target scene, so that functions such as face snapshot, vehicle snapshot, human behavior detection, and the like can be realized.

It is to be understood that the present invention is not limited to the application of the camera 100 to a monitoring system, and in other embodiments, the camera 100 may also be applied to the fields of information collection, inspection and testing, scientific research, and the like, and the camera 100 may also be carried on a mobile vehicle such as an unmanned aerial vehicle, an automobile, and the like to continuously track a target object.

The camera 100 includes a support unit 10, a camera body 20, and a hooking unit 30 disposed between the support unit 10 and the camera body 20, the support unit 10 is connected to the hooking unit 30 and is fixedly disposed on the external bracket 200, and the camera body 20 is detachably disposed on the support unit 10 through the hooking unit 30.

The supporting unit 10 is used for fixedly arranging the camera 100 on the external support 200, the camera body 20 is used for recording a target scene and acquiring a digital image of the target scene, and the hook unit 30 is used for hooking the supporting unit 10 so as to detachably arrange the camera body 20 on the supporting unit 10, thereby realizing the fixed installation of the camera body 20 on the external support 200.

In an actual installation process, one end of the camera body 20 is arranged on the supporting unit 10 in a hanging manner through the hook unit 30, and an internal circuit structure is exposed to complete wiring; after the wiring is completed, the multiple ends of the camera body 20 are fixed on the supporting unit 10 through the hook unit 30 and enclose the internal circuit structure, thereby completing the whole wiring and mounting process.

The supporting unit 10 includes a first supporter 11, and the first supporter 11 is connected to the external bracket 200. In this embodiment, the first supporting member 11 is a flange, one end of which is connected to the external bracket 200, and the other end of which is hung on the hook unit 30. The first support 11 is selected as a flange, which can reduce the fitting process of parts in the installation process by utilizing the high interchangeability of standardized parts.

It is understood that, in other embodiments, the first support 11 may also be other support parts besides a support frame, as long as the first support 11 can mount the camera body 20 to the external bracket 200.

It can be understood that the first supporting member 11 can be indirectly mounted on the external bracket 200 through an adapter ring or the like, or can be directly mounted on the external bracket 200 through sleeving, screwing or the like; the present invention does not limit the manner of mounting and connecting the first supporter 11 and the outer bracket 200.

The camera body 20 is used for recording moving objects in a target scene. As for the structure of the camera body 20 itself, it may adopt a conventional structure. In the present embodiment, the camera body 20 is a spherical camera body. It is to be understood that when the camera 100 employs a camera of another type than a ball machine, such as a gun camera, the camera body 20 is also adapted as a gun-type camera body.

the hook unit 30 includes a first hook 31 and a second hook 32, one end of the first hook 31 is fixedly disposed on the camera body 20, and the other end of the first hook 31 is connected to the first support 11; one end of the second hook 32 is also fixedly arranged on the camera body 20, and the other end of the second hook 32 is detachably hung on the first supporting member 11.

When the camera body 20 is in an installation and wiring state, the second hook 32 is mutually connected with the first support member 11, the camera body 20 is hooked with the first support member 11 through the first hook 31, and the camera body 20 is connected with the first support member 11 in an inclined suspension state; after the camera body 20 completes the installation and the wiring work, the camera body 20 is connected to the first supporting member 11 through the first hook 31 and the second hook 32, and the camera body 20 is fixed on the first supporting member 11 in a multi-point connection manner, so that the whole installation process of the camera body 20 on the supporting unit 10 is realized.

In this embodiment, the bottom portions of the first hook 31 and the second hook 32 are both mounted on the camera body 20, and the hook portions of the first hook 31 and the second hook 32 are connected to the first support member 11; the first hook 31 and the second hook 32 are located at two positions relatively far away from one end of the camera body 20 close to the first support 11, so that a fixed supporting point on the camera body 20 is relatively far away, and the camera body has high installation stability.

It can be understood that the hook connection between the bottom and the hook portion of the first hook 31 and the second hook 32 and the first support 11 and the camera body 20 can be reversed, for example, the bottom of the first hook 31 is disposed on the first support 11, and the hook portion of the first hook 31 is connected to the camera body 20; the bottom of the second hook 32 is arranged on the first support 11, and the hook part of the second hook 32 is connected to the camera body 20; no matter how the first hook 31 and the second hook 32 are fitted to the first support 11 and the camera body 20, as long as the first hook 31 and the second hook 32 can achieve the installation of the camera body 20 on the support unit 10.

In this embodiment, only the first hook 31 and the second hook 32 are provided on the camera body 20, that is, the number of hooks provided on the camera body 20 is two.

It is understood that in other embodiments, the camera body 20 may be provided with more than three hooks, as long as the hooks can ensure the installation of the camera body 20 on the supporting unit 10.

When current camera body is installed to the support unit, because the camera body colludes through first couple and establishes first support piece when, the camera body is hanging to take place easily and is rocked under establishing the state, and this has increased the degree of difficulty of wiring and installation. The camera 100 provided by the invention can avoid the shaking of the camera body 20 in a suspended state, the limitation on the first hook 31 does not influence the turning-in process of the camera body 20 to the first support part 11, and the installation efficiency is greatly improved.

Referring to fig. 4 to 8 together, fig. 4 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the camera 100 in a flip-mounted state according to an embodiment of the present invention, fig. 5 is a schematic structural view of the first supporting member 111 in the camera 100 shown in fig. 1, fig. 6 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the first supporting member 111 shown in fig. 5, fig. 7 is a schematic structural view of the first hook 31 in the camera 100 shown in fig. 1, and fig. 8 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the first hook 31 shown in fig. 7.

The first hook 31 comprises a bottom 311 and a hook 312, wherein the bottom 311 and the hook 312 are arranged oppositely; the bottom 311 of the first hook 31 is used to connect one of the camera body 20 and the support unit 10, and the hook 312 of the first hook 31 is used to connect the other of the camera body 20 and the support unit 10.

In the present embodiment, considering that the supporting unit 10 is generally in a fixed state, and the camera body 20 is generally in a movable state, therefore, the bottom 311 of the first hook 31 is disposed on the camera body 20, and the hook 312 of the first hook 31 is hooked on the supporting unit 10, so that an operator can conveniently operate the camera body 20 to rotate around the fixed supporting unit 10, and the phenomenon of unstable turning and closing when the camera body 20 is used as a rotating shaft is avoided.

Of course, if the stability of the camera body 20 when it is turned over is not considered, the bottom 311 of the first hook 31 may be provided on the supporting unit 10, and the hook 312 of the first hook 31 may be hooked on the camera body 20.

The first supporting piece 11 extends outwards and is provided with the limiting protrusion 111, the hook portion 312 of the first hook 31 is provided with the limiting groove 3121 corresponding to the limiting protrusion 111, the limiting groove 3121 is provided on the inner side of the hook portion 312, the first hook 31 is embedded in the limiting groove 3121 through the limiting protrusion 111, so that the rotation of the first hook when being suspended on the first supporting piece 11 is limited, and the relative fixation of the first hook in the suspended state is ensured.

Referring to fig. 9 to 10 together, fig. 9 is an enlarged schematic view of the camera 100 shown in fig. 1 at a, and fig. 10 is an enlarged schematic view of the camera 100 shown in fig. 4 at B.

when the camera body 20 is in an installation and wiring state, the camera body 20 connected to the first hook 31 and the support unit 10 are kept relatively fixed by the limiting effect of the limiting groove 3121 on the limiting protrusion 111, and the shaking of the camera body 20 in a suspension state is eliminated, so that the setting stability of the camera body 20 in the installation and wiring processes is improved; when the camera body 20 needs to be folded to finish the installation process, the contact between the limiting groove 3121 in the first hook 31 and the limiting protrusion 111 on the first support 11 is released, so that the limiting groove 3121 in the first hook 31 does not limit the limiting protrusion 111 any more, and at this time, the limiting protrusion 111 on the first support 11 and the hook portion 312 on the first hook 31 directly form and form a rotating fit, thereby completing the folding process.

The camera 100 provided by the invention can avoid the shaking of the camera body 20 during the installation, improve the convenience of wiring operation, reduce the installation difficulty and increase the construction efficiency.

It can be understood that when the bottom 311 of the first hook 31 is connected to the first support 11 and the hook 312 of the first hook 31 is connected to the camera body 20, the limiting groove 3121 on the first hook 31 can also eliminate the installation wobble of the camera body 20 by limiting the rotation of the limiting protrusion 111.

It should be additionally noted that the hook portion 312 refers to a portion of the first hook 31 contacting the limiting protrusion 111; when the limiting groove 3121 and the limiting protrusion 111 in the first hook 31 are disengaged from each other, other portions of the hook 312 may contact the limiting protrusion 111 and form a rotation fit, and the change of the engagement state between the limiting groove 3121 and the limiting protrusion 111 does not affect the contact state between the hook 312 and the limiting protrusion 111.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the shapes of the limiting protrusion 111 and the limiting groove 3121 are irregular shapes that are matched with each other, that is, the shapes of the limiting protrusion 111 and the limiting groove 3121 both adopt non-circular structures, so as to ensure the realization of the limiting function between the limiting protrusion 111 and the limiting groove 3121.

Further, in the present embodiment, the shapes of the limiting protrusion 111 and the limiting groove 3121 are both elliptical; the stability of the contact surface embedded between the oval limiting protrusion 111 and the limiting groove 3121 is better, and the cost performance is higher in manufacturing cost.

It is understood that in other embodiments, the shape of the limiting protrusion 111 and the limiting groove 3121 may also be a kidney shape, a rounded rectangle, a trapezoid, or other shapes, as long as the limiting protrusion 111 and the limiting groove 3121 can be embedded into each other and form a limiting.

Referring to fig. 11, fig. 11 is an enlarged schematic view of the camera head 100 shown in fig. 1 at C. In one embodiment of the present invention, in order to adapt to the installation manner of the first hook 31, the bottom 321 of the second hook 32 in the hook unit 30 is also provided on the camera body 20, and the hook portion 322 of the second hook 32 is detachably connected to the support unit 10.

When the camera body 20 finishes wiring and is turned over to the first support member 11, the second hook 32 hooks the first support member 11; when the camera body 20 needs to be connected, the second hook 32 is released from the mutual engagement with the first support 11 and exposes the connection inside the camera body 20.

The detachable connection mode of the second hook 32 can be detachable by using a thread of the hook 322, or can be detachable by using other detachable connection modes such as gluing, fixing, sliding and hooking, as long as the hooking of the second hook 32 to the first support member 11 can be realized.

Further, in the present embodiment, the second hook 32 is detachably connected to the first support 11 in a slidable manner by a sliding hook, at this time, an elastic member 33 is disposed between the bottom 321 of the second hook 32 and the side wall of the camera body 20, and the second hook 32 is detachably connected to the first support 11 by elastic expansion of the elastic member 33.

When the second hook 32 needs to be hooked to the first support 11, the second hook 32 is pressed against the elastic member 33 by the force of the first support 11 acting on the second hook, and the elastic compression of the elastic member 33 enables the second hook 32 to retreat and the second hook 32 to be hooked to the first support 11 smoothly.

Further, a supporting plate 34 is disposed between the bottom 321 of the second hook 32 and the camera body 20, one end of the elastic member 33 is connected to the side wall of the camera body 20, and the other end is connected to the supporting plate 34. The supporting plate 34 is arranged so that the wear caused by the elastic member 33 is not directly borne by the camera body 20, and the wear of the camera body 20 is smaller.

Further, the supporting unit 10 further includes a second supporting member 12, and the second supporting member 12 is sleeved on the external bracket 200 and located above the first supporting member 11, so as to form a sleeve of the second supporting member 12 on the first supporting member 11. The second supporting member 12 is arranged, so that when the limiting protrusion 111 clamped between the first supporting member 11 and the second supporting member 12 is released from contact with the limiting groove 3121, the camera body 20 is limited by the distance of the second supporting member 12 and cannot be separated from the limiting protrusion 111 too much, and the connection reliability of the two is ensured.

Further, the first support 11 is a flange; and/or the second support 12 is a flange. The flanges are used for the first support member 11 and the second support member 12 respectively or simultaneously, so that the interchangeability can be improved, and certain advantages are achieved in cost performance.

The present invention further provides a monitoring system (not shown) including the camera 100. The monitoring system provided by the invention has the advantages that the overall construction efficiency is greatly improved by adopting the camera 100, and the product competitiveness is excellent.

According to the camera 100 provided by the invention, the limiting groove 3121 and the limiting protrusion 111 are respectively formed on the supporting unit 10 and the hook unit 30, so that the camera 100 can be prevented from shaking during installation, the convenience of wiring operation is improved, the installation difficulty is reduced, the construction efficiency is increased, and the camera has a wide application prospect.

the technical features of the embodiments described above may be arbitrarily combined, and for the sake of brevity, all possible combinations of the technical features in the embodiments described above are not described, but should be considered as being within the scope of the present specification as long as there is no contradiction between the combinations of the technical features.

It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the above embodiments are only for illustrating the present invention and are not to be used as a limitation of the present invention, and that suitable changes and modifications of the above embodiments are within the scope of the claimed invention as long as they are within the spirit and scope of the present invention.
