It is understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

As in 1 It is a perspective view of the foldable camera device. The mentioned foldable camera device, including a holder 11 on the bottom; an extension support 12 that through the first wave 16 with the mentioned holder 11 connected is; a device which can be rotated in the direction of the front in the front 13 that by second shaft (no number) with the mentioned extension support 12 connected is; and a device rotatable in the direction of the left-hand side 14 , on the mentioned in the front rear turnable device 13 is mounted; as well as the camera body 15 that on the mentioned in the direction of the left-right rotatable device 14 is mounted.

Concretely formulated: the holder 11 has approximately an annular frame structure for receiving the folded camera body 15 , the mentioned holder 11 has a circular cave in the middle. The mentioned first wave 16 is placed on one side of the bracket. The mentioned extension support 12 also has an approximately annular frame 12 and has a circular cavity in the middle and is suitable for the camera body 15 take. The extension support 12 connects through the mentioned first wave 10 the holder 11 ; the first shaft can be stopped at any angle and therefore the user can rotate the extension post 12 the tilt angle and the distance of the camera housing 15 set freely. Out 1 can be seen, the mentioned extension support 12 can be around the bracket 11 essentially turn in the range of 0-360 degrees: if the Rotation angle is 0 degrees, are the extension support 12 and the holder 11 in a closed state. If the rotation angle is 180 degrees, the extension bracket 12 and the holder 11 in a fully open state.

The mentioned towards the front rear rotatable device 13 is through the second wave 16 , which can be stopped at any angle, with the mentioned extension support 12 connected. Concretely formulated: the mentioned in the direction of the front back rotatable device 13 is on the extension post 12 opposite the first wave 16 appropriate; in 1 It can be seen that the mentioned in the direction of the front rear rotatable device 13 also on the mentioned circular frame extension support 12 can rotate in 360 degrees, so the range of rotation of the camera body 15 towards the front rear is significantly improved. From the description it can be seen that the holder 11 that with the mentioned first wave 16 and second shaft is connected, the extension support 12 and the front-rear rotatable device 13 all turn on a vertical plane.

The mentioned in the direction of the left-right rotatable device 14 is on an in the direction of the front rear rotatable device 13 assembled; the mentioned camera body 15 is with the direction of the front rear turnable device 13 connected; the mentioned in the direction of the left-right rotatable device 14 may allow the camera to turn left or right on the horizontal plane, which is vertical to the mentioned vertical plane, so that the camera body 15 can achieve a three-dimensional monitoring in all angles.

The mentioned camera body 15 should preferably have a round structure, which is the circular frame-shaped structure of the holder 11 and the extension support 12 with cave in the middle corresponds. Of course, the shape of the bracket can be 11 and the extension support 12 on the shape of the camera body 15 orientate yourself and do not restrict yourself to circular shape. The shape may be a variety of other shapes, in particular square, diamond-shaped, etc.

As described above, in the present invention, the first wave plays 16 and the second wave in folding the camera body 15 a very important role. Their design is also very complicated. On the one hand, it is important to make sure that turning is convenient; on the other hand, it must be guaranteed that it can be stopped at any angle. So the overall structure must not be too narrow; otherwise turning around would be troublesome. But it must not be too easy; otherwise it can not be stopped at any angle. As in 5 shown: assuming that the first and second wave 16 a radius R has that the shaft provides a torsional force f that the weight of the extension support 12 F1 is a length L1; that the weight of the camera body 15 F2 is that the vertical distance from the center of the shaft to the direction of force 12 is, so in total is the force model: f = [1 / 2F1 × L1 × sinθ + F2 × L2] ÷ R

When constructing the force moment of the shaft: if θ = 90 °, the system should be stable and have the balance. At this moment, the wave is in maximum stress state (fmax), namely: fmax = [1 / 2F1 × L1 + F2 × L1] ÷ R = [1 / 2F1 + F2] × L1 ÷ R

In addition, a damping force regulating structure is incorporated in the design for the shaft; by changing the tightness of the nut, the damping force of the spring or the spring structure is to be changed in order to adjust the magnitude of the torque of the waves.

As 1 shows, is mounted laterally hanging. The mentioned holder 11 and extension support 12 have a certain angle open; in this case, by the gluing, the magnetic connection or the method of screwing the bracket 11 be attached to the wall, to the column or to the ceiling; then by the position of the height of the extension support 12 and a device that can be turned in the front rear direction 13 the position of the camera body 15 reached with any angle. The position of the camera body 15 in the left-right direction is by means of mentioned in the direction of the left-right rotatable device 14 to reach the camera; What turning the main body of a camera 15 can be manually rotated or automatically rotated by stepper motor control.

As 2 shows is installed horizontally. The mentioned holder 11 is laid flat on the horizontal plane. Mentioned extension support 12 and bracket 11 are folded up; at this time can by a direction of the front rear rotatable device 13 the angle of the camera can be adjusted forwards and backwards; In addition, by turning the direction of the left-right rotating device 14 in the direction of the left, an angle of the recording on a horizontal plane can be achieved.

As 3 shows, it collapses. If the camera does not need to be used or cleared away, turning the front-to-back rotatable device may turn it off 13 the camera body 15 in the hollow body housing of the holder 11 and the extension support 12 be accommodated. It looks good, but also saves space.

As 4 shows it is a view of the direction of rotation of the camera in 3 shown camera receiving folding camera device when the camera is folded; The user can accommodate the camera in the hollow body housing by turning the camera in direction A.

In summary, by attaching a plurality of brackets through a plurality of shafts to be stopped at arbitrary angles, the present invention of the foldable camera apparatus can adjust the height and angle of the camera to allow any angle of surveillance of the camera. The structure is simple, easy to manufacture and easy to install and easy to use. In addition, the camera can be placed in the hollow body housing of the bracket and extension support when the camera is not used and put away. Not only does it look nice, but it also takes up only a small amount of storage space, providing a strong sense of user experience. Finally, the invention can be adapted to several possibilities of installations such as upside down-still, on the horizontal plane and collapsing etc. It offers customers a wide range of installations and uses. It is easy to install.

The above-described preferred embodiment of the present invention is only a preferred embodiment. The scope of the protection of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. For example, the extension support 12 set up in the present invention for a larger amplitude of the setting of the camera angle. But in the application; if the angle of rotation of the camera in the actual application is not very large, the extension support can 12 be omitted.

Further, the first wave 16 and the second shaft of the present invention has a hinge structure that can be stopped at any angle. However, one of ordinary skill in the art should know that depending on the time required, only one shaft must have a hinge structure that can be stopped at any angle and not both shafts must have a hinge structure that can be stopped at any angle. The equivalent modifications and changes made by one of ordinary skill in the art, based on the disclosure of the present invention, fall within the scope of the protection described in the claims.
