Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a camera mount for fixing a surveillance video camera or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 5, this type of camera mount has a camera mount angle 2 for fixing a camera 1.
And a mounting base arm 4 having a mounting portion 3 for a wall surface, a ceiling, etc.
An adjusting screw 5 for adjusting the vertical mounting angle of the camera 1 and a fixing knob 6 for fixing the camera 1 while adjusting the horizontal mounting angle of the camera 1. By adjusting the knob 6, the mounting angle of the camera 1 can be arbitrarily selected and the camera 1 can be held and fixed.

[0003]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional camera mount, the camera 1 is set at a certain angle which is not horizontal by the adjusting screw 5 and the fixing knob 6, and then the mounting position of the camera 1 is changed by the fixing knob 6. In this case, since the camera mounting surface is tilted, the camera cannot be moved horizontally, the screen angle of the camera 1 is tilted, and the adjustment screw 5 and the fixing knob 6 must be readjusted. It was

The present invention has been made to solve such a conventional problem, and an object of the present invention is to provide a camera mount that allows the angle of the camera to be easily adjusted after the camera is mounted.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has a mounting stem having a base end portion fixed to a camera and a spherical portion at the tip end portion, and a base end portion fixed to a wall surface or the like. The mounting base arm has a receiving seat that pivotally receives the spherical portion of the mounting stem at the tip, the holding metal fitting that covers the spherical portion of the mounting stem, and the outer periphery of the distal end of the mounting base is screwed and tightened. And a lock knob that presses the spherical portion of the mounting stem against the receiving seat at the tip of the mounting base arm via the holding metal fitting.

[0006]

Therefore, according to the present invention, by loosening the lock knob, the angle of the camera can be freely adjusted in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction simultaneously and easily. Therefore, the angle adjustment after mounting the camera is extremely easy. Can be done to.

[0007]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 shows the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, 11 is a camera, 12 is a mounting knob, 13 is a mounting stem fixed to the camera 11 by the mounting knob 12, 14 is a holding metal fitting for holding the mounting stem 13, and 15 is a holding metal fitting 14 on a mounting arm 16. A lock knob for fixing, 16 is a mounting arm fixed to the wall surface 17, and 18 is a cable of the camera 11. FIG. 2 shows a state in which the mount arm 16 is attached to the ceiling surface 19.

Next, details of each part will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3A is an assembly perspective view of the camera mounting portion of the camera mounting base, and FIG. 3B is an exploded perspective view of the camera mounting portion. The mounting knob 12 has a screw hole 121 in the center thereof, and the mounting stem 13 is inserted into the screw hole 121.
A threaded portion 131 formed at the base end of the mounting portion 12 is screwed, and this threaded portion 131 is further connected to the screw hole 12 of the mounting knob 12.
It projects from 1 and is screwed into the bottom of the camera 11. Therefore, the mounting knob 12 functions as a nut for fixing the mounting stem 13 to the camera 11.

The mounting stem 13 has a spherical portion 132 formed at the tip thereof before being assembled to the mounting knob 12.
The holding metal fitting 14 is put on. The holding metal fitting 14 is formed in a cylindrical shape and has an inner flange 141 having a hole smaller than the diameter of the spherical portion 132 in the upper portion, a notch portion 142 formed from the upper portion to the peripheral wall, and an outer flange 143 formed in the lower portion. Is equipped with.

The lock knob 15 is formed in a cylindrical shape,
The upper part is provided with an inner flange 151 that can be engaged with the lower outer flange 143 of the holding fitting 14, and a threaded portion 152 formed on the inner peripheral surface.

The mounting base arm 16 includes a mounting base 161 fixed to a wall surface and the like, and a mounting portion 162 that is caulked to the tip of the mounting base 161. The mounting stem is attached to the distal end of the mounting portion 162. A conical receiving seat 163 that pivotally receives the spherical portion 132 of 13 is formed, and a screw portion 164 that is screwed to the screw portion 152 of the lock knob 15 is formed on the peripheral surface.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. First, the mount 161 of the mount arm 16 is fixed to a wall surface or the like. Next, screw the screw portion 131 of the mounting stem 13 into the mounting screw hole 111 of the camera 11,
Tighten with the mounting knob 12. Then, the camera 11 is adjusted to a desired angle. In the present embodiment, the spherical portion 132 of the mounting stem 13 and the receiving seat 163 at the tip of the mounting base arm 16 constitute a ball joint joint, so that the mounting stem 13 is horizontal to the mounting base arm 16 at 360 °. It is rotatable, and the spherical portion 132 of the mounting stem 13 and the holding metal fitting 1
4 can be pivoted in the vertical direction by the diameter difference from the upper inner flange 141 and by the depth of the notch 142 of the holding metal fitting 14, and can freely pivot in any direction. When the lock knob 15 is tightened after the angle adjustment of the camera 11 is performed in this manner, the upper inner flange 151 of the lock knob 15 pulls the lower outer flange 143 of the holding fitting 14 downward, so that the upper inner side of the holding fitting 14 is closed. The flange 141 presses the spherical portion 132 of the mounting stem 13 against the receiving seat 163 at the tip of the mounting base arm 16, and the mounting stem 13 is fixed to the mounting base arm 16.

In the above embodiment, one or both surfaces of the spherical portion 132 of the mounting stem 13 and the receiving seat 163 of the mounting base arm 16 are sandblasted for roughening, or the receiving seat 163 is formed into a spherical surface to form a spherical shape. Part 13
By setting the fitting with 2 a little tighter, the workability at the time of adjusting the angle can be improved.

As described above, according to the above-described embodiment, by tightening the lock knob 15, the angle of the camera 11 can be freely and simultaneously set in both the horizontal direction and the vertical direction, and the ceiling and Since it can be installed on the wall in the same way, the workability of installing the camera is improved.

Further, since the mounting portion 162 of the mounting base arm 16 is swaged and integrated with the mounting base 161, the mounting portion 162 does not rotate at the same time when the lock knob 15 is tightened. It can be done reliably and easily.

Further, since the camera cable 18 can be passed through the inside of the center of the mount arm 16, the appearance is improved and the workability is improved.

[0017]

As is apparent from the above embodiment, the present invention has a mounting stem having a base end portion fixed to a camera and a spherical portion at the tip end portion, and a base end portion fixed to a wall surface or the like to the tip end portion. A mounting base arm having a receiving seat that pivotally receives the spherical portion of the mounting stem, a holding metal fitting that covers the spherical portion of the mounting stem, and a holding metal fitting that is screwed to the outer periphery of the tip of the mounting base arm and tightened. With a lock knob that presses the spherical portion of the mounting stem against the receiving seat at the end of the mounting base arm via the, the angle of the camera can be adjusted freely both horizontally and vertically at the same time and easily. Therefore, the angle adjustment after mounting the camera can be performed extremely easily.
