In the embodiment of the present application, in the case that the camera 500 is installed on the connecting structure member 200 and the support frame 100 is installed on the installation surface such as the wall surface, when the installation angle of the camera 500 needs to be adjusted, the locker 300 is unlocked, so that the camera 500 rotates with the connecting structure member 200 in multiple directions relative to the first support part 110, so as to adjust the installation angle of the camera, after the adjustment of the installation angle of the camera 500 is completed, the locker is locked, so that the camera 500 and the connecting structure member 200 are fixed relative to the support frame 100, and further, the installation angle of the camera 500 is fixed, and thus, the adjustment or fixation of the installation angle of the camera 500 in multiple directions is realized by locking or unlocking the locker 300, and the operation is simple. Therefore, the problem that the camera mounting bracket in the related art is complex to operate when the mounting angle of the camera is adjusted can be solved.

There are various structures of the locker 300, and in an alternative embodiment, the locker 300 may be a clamp for clamping the supporting frame 100 and the coupling structure member 200 such that the supporting frame 100 and the coupling structure member 200 are relatively fixed and the locker 300 is in a locked state. In a state where the support frame 100 and the coupling structural member 200 are not clamped using the jig, the support frame 100 and the coupling structural member 200 are relatively rotatable, and the locker 300 is in an unlocked state.

In another alternative embodiment, the locking member 300 may include a knob 310 and a connector 320 mounted on the knob 310, the supporting frame 100 may be formed with a first through hole 111, the connecting structure 200 may be formed with a second through hole 210, the connector 320 may sequentially pass through the first through hole 111 and the second through hole 210, and the connector 320 is used for being screwed with the camera 500.

In addition, when the installation angle of the camera 500 is adjusted, the connection structure member 200 is rotated integrally with the locker 300 with respect to the support frame 100, the diameter of the first through hole 111 may be larger than that of the second through hole 210, and the first through hole 111 can provide a sufficient rotation space for the rotation of the connection member 320.

In a further technical scheme, one of the support frame 100 and the knob 310 may be provided with a second recess 311, a portion of the other may extend into the second recess 311, the support frame 100 and the knob 310 are in ball-hinge fit, and an outer surface of the portion extending into the second recess 311 may be attached to an inner surface of the second recess 311. The structure can increase the contact area between the support frame 100 and the knob 310, and can enhance the clamping effect of the knob 310 and the connecting structural member 200 on the support frame 100 in the locking state, so that the angle stability among the connecting structural member 200, the support frame 100 and the knob 310 is enhanced, and the stability of the installation angle of the camera 500 is enhanced.

The second recess 311 may be opened in the knob 310, a portion of the supporting frame 100 may extend into the second recess 311, an inner surface of the second recess 311 may be a second inner spherical surface 312, the supporting frame 100 may have a first outer spherical surface 114, and a portion of the first outer spherical surface 114 may be attached to the second inner spherical surface 312, so that the supporting frame 100 is in hinged fit with the knob 310. Further, in the case that the supporting bracket 100 has the first concave portion 112, an outer surface of the first concave portion 112 may form the first outer spherical surface 114, so as to simplify the structure of the supporting bracket 100. Of course, in other embodiments, the second recess 311 may also be disposed on the supporting frame 100, and a portion of the knob 310 may extend into the second recess 311.

In this case, the first elastic pad 410 may increase a friction force between the support frame 100 and the knob 310 in a locked state, and may enhance a clamping effect of the knob 310 and the connection structure 200 on the support frame 100, thereby enhancing an angular stability among the connection structure 200, the support frame 100, and the knob 310. In addition, the first elastic pad 410 has elasticity and variability, and the deformability of the first elastic pad 410 can alleviate the problem of the gap between the support frame 100 and the knob 310 caused by the dimensional deviation of the two.

The first elastic pad 410 may have an inner arc surface 411, and in a locked state, the inner arc surface 411 and the second inner spherical surface 312 are both attached to the first outer spherical surface 114, so as to improve the attaching tightness between the first elastic pad 410 and the first outer spherical surface 114 and the second inner spherical surface 312.

In other alternative embodiments, the first elastic pad 410 may be adhesively fixed on the inner surface of the second recess 311, but during the relative rotation between the knob 310 and the support 100, the friction between the knob 310 and the support 100 may cause the first elastic pad 410 to fall off, and the arrangement of the first elastic pad 410 in the annular groove 313 can alleviate the problem of the first elastic pad 410 falling off.

The connecting structure member 200, the supporting bracket 100 and the locker 300 are separate members, and the connecting structure member 200, the supporting bracket 100 and the locker 300 can be separated from each other in the unlocked state, but the separation of the connecting structure member 200, the supporting bracket 100 and the locker 300 from each other may cause a part of the members to be lost, which is disadvantageous to the storage of the camera mounting bracket.

In order to solve the above problem, in an alternative embodiment, the connection member 320 may include a first connection portion 321 and a second connection portion 322, the first connection portion 321 may have a threaded structure, the first connection portion 321 is configured to be threadedly connected to the camera 500, the second connection portion 322 is fixedly disposed on the knob 310, the second connection portion 322 is configured to connect the support frame 100 and the connection structure 200, the second connection portion 322 may have a diameter smaller than that of the first connection portion 321, a position-limiting protrusion 230 may be disposed on a hole wall of the second through hole 210, and an edge of the first connection portion 321 adjacent to the second connection portion 322 may be mounted on the position-limiting protrusion 230.

In this case, in the process that the connecting structural member 200 and the locker 300 move in the direction away from the supporting frame 100, when the first connecting portion 321 is mounted on the limiting protrusion 230, the first connecting portion 321 and the limiting protrusion 230 cooperate to block the separation of the connecting structural member 200 and the locker 300, so that the connecting structural member 200 and the locker 300 are difficult to separate from each other, the supporting frame 100 is disposed between the connecting structural member 200 and the locker 300, so that the connecting structural member 200, the supporting frame 100 and the locker 300 are difficult to separate from each other, and the problem of partial member loss is solved.

In another alternative embodiment, the second through hole 210 may be a threaded hole, and the connector 320 may be threadedly engaged with the threaded hole. In this case, the connection structure 200, the support frame 100, and the locker 300 in the unlocked state can be also in the connected state by the screw structure, and the problem of loss of a part of the components can be alleviated.

In the above solution, the connector 320 can be screwed with the camera 500, and in the case that the camera 500 and the camera mounting bracket rotate relatively, the camera 500 may be loosened, which is not favorable for the stability of the mounting angle of the camera 500. To this end, the surface of the connecting structural member 200 facing away from the supporting stand 100 may be provided with a positioning protrusion 250, and the positioning protrusion 250 is used for positioning and matching with the positioning hole of the camera 500. In this case, the positioning projection 250 can prevent the camera 500 from being loosened due to the rotation of the camera 500 with respect to the camera mounting bracket.
