In addition, the bottom surface of the lower edge of the lens 1121 may be formed to be press-fitted to the front of the protective housing 140 .

That is, the lens 1121 may be firmly fixed without being detached from the first fixing housing 141 in an outward direction.

The second fixing housing 142 is formed so that the lower rim is fitted into the first fixing housing 141 and the upper rim of the lens 1121, which is supported by compression, is fitted into the surface and supported by compression, and corresponds to the first fixing housing 141. It is formed into a shape and can be press-fitted to the upper front surface of the protective housing 140 .

In addition, a groove is formed inside the second fixed housing 142 so that the light emitting part 1122 can be attached or detached, so that the light emitting part 142 can be slidably inserted and mounted in the longitudinal direction.

The protective housing 140 according to another embodiment of the present invention is applied only to assembly of the housing, and the housing includes a vertical housing 1411 and a horizontal housing 1412 each having ends cut at 45 degrees. Assembled face to face to have a square frame shape, the lens 1121 of the camera may be inserted between the protective housing 140 .

First, one horizontal integral connection part 14122 may be formed in the horizontal housing 1412, and protruding coupling parts 14123 are protruded from the top and bottom of the horizontal integral connection part 14122, respectively, so that two protruding coupling parts 14123 are formed at each corner of the housing. It is assembled by fastening with the coupling screw 1413 of.

The vertical housing 1411 may be configured by integrally forming a pair of vertical formation parts 14111 and a vertical integral connection part 14112 connecting them.

The vertical forming part 14111 is a plate-shaped member whose end portion is vertically bent along the longitudinal direction, and is disposed in the vertical direction during assembly so that the bent portions face each other, and are bent and face each other. The lens 1121 of the camera may be inserted between the vertical forming portions 14111 of the camera.

The vertical integral connecting portion 14112 is a plate-shaped member integrally formed with the vertical forming portion 14111 along the longitudinal direction between the vertical forming portions 14111, and coupling screws 1413 are penetrated at both ends. Two coupling grooves 14113 may be formed respectively.

Since the two coupling grooves 14113 formed in the vertical direction of the vertical integral connector 14112 must match the height of the protruding coupling portion 14123 formed by protruding from the upper and lower portions of the horizontal integral connector 14122, the vertical integral connector ( 14112) may have to protrude beyond the 45 degree cut portion of the vertical forming portion 14111.

Of course, the number of coupling grooves 5113 and protruding coupling portions 5123 can be further increased without any technical difficulty.

The horizontal housing 1412 may be configured by integrally forming a pair of horizontal forming parts 14121, a horizontal integral connecting part 14122 connecting them therebetween, and a pair of protruding coupling parts 14123.

The horizontal forming unit 14121 may refer to a plate-like member whose end portion is vertically bent along the longitudinal direction, and is disposed so that the bent parts face each other while positioned in the horizontal direction during assembly, and is bent. A lens 1121 of a camera may be inserted between a pair of facing horizontal formation units 14121 .

The horizontal integral connecting portion 14122 may refer to a plate-shaped member integrally formed with the horizontal forming portion 14121 along the longitudinal direction between the horizontal forming portions 14121, and the center between the pair of horizontal forming portions 14121. Two protruding coupling portions 14123 are formed to protrude from the top and bottom of the horizontal integral connecting portion 14122 along the longitudinal direction, respectively, and the protruding coupling portion 14123 has a length so that the coupling screw 1413 can be fastened. It is configured by forming grooves in the direction, and it is preferable that the grooves are formed to be open to a certain width upward (ie, to the side where the horizontal integral connection portion is not located) along the longitudinal direction. As such, since the upper side of the protruding coupling portion 14123 is open, it can be fastened even if the coupling screw 1413 has a slightly larger diameter.

After cutting the ends of the vertical housing 1411 and the horizontal housing 1412 at 45 degrees, respectively, and then placing the ends of the vertical housing 1411 and the horizontal housing 512 against each other, the vertical forming part 14111 ) and the ends of the horizontal forming portion 14121 are placed in contact with each other, and each protruding coupling of the horizontal housing 1412 passes through the coupling groove 14113 at the end portion of the vertical integral connection portion 14112 of the vertical housing 1411 It can be assembled by fastening the coupling screw 1413 to the part 14123.

In this way, since the vertical housing 1411 and the horizontal housing 1412 are fastened with two coupling screws 1413 at each corner of the frame, not only the fastening force is remarkably strengthened, but also the frame is not twisted during frame assembly work. Therefore, accurate assembly is achieved, and there is no need to insert a 'L'-shaped reinforcing piece to maintain the square frame assembly shape of the horizontal and vertical housing and to reinforce the fastening force.

By changing the form described above, since the protruding coupling portions 14123 are formed to protrude from the upper and lower portions of the horizontal integral coupling portion 14122, respectively, the second vertical integral coupling portions 14912 having different lengths are installed spaced apart from each other and each The second coupling grooves 14913 may be formed at both ends of the second vertical integral connection portion 14912.

In this way, if the second integrally connected vertical part 14912 is formed as a pair having different lengths, the end of the second integrally connected vertical part 14912 may not protrude beyond the portion cut at 45 degrees of the vertical forming part.

On the other hand, referring to the embodiment of the housing that can be configured in a different shape, the difference between the circular housing and the housing of the other shape is that the second vertical integral connection part 14912 and the second horizontal integral connection part 14922 are two, respectively. The fact that it can be installed one by one, and the second protruding coupling part 14923 protruding from the second horizontal integral connecting part 14922 can be installed one by one on each second horizontal integral connecting part 14922, and the rest of the configuration is a circle Since the shape is the same as the housing, overlapping descriptions can be omitted and only other parts can be described.

The second vertical integral connecting portion 14912 formed in the second vertical housing 1491 is a plate-shaped member formed between the second vertical forming portions 14911 along the longitudinal direction, and the second vertical integral connecting portion 14912 is the second vertical forming portion 14912. It is formed integrally with the unit 14911, is configured by installing a pair spaced apart from each other, and the lengths of the spaced apart second vertical integral connection units 14912 are different from each other.

At this time, second coupling grooves 14913 through which coupling screws 1413 penetrate are formed at both ends, and one coupling groove is formed at both ends of the short vertical connecting plate. And, two second coupling grooves 14913 are formed at both ends of the long vertical connecting plate, respectively.

The second horizontal integral connection part 14922 formed in the second horizontal housing 1492 may mean a plate-shaped member formed along the longitudinal direction between the second horizontal forming parts 14921, and the second horizontal forming part 14921 It is integrally formed with and configured by installing a pair installed spaced apart from each other, and the lengths of the spaced apart second horizontal integral connectors 14922 are different from each other.

A second protruding coupling portion 14923 is formed at each second horizontal integral connecting portion 14922, and the second protruding coupling portion 14923 is each formed along the longitudinal direction in the central portion between the second horizontal forming portions 14921. It is formed to protrude to the top or bottom of the second horizontal integrated connection part 14922.

After cutting the ends of the second vertical housing 1491 and the second horizontal housing 1492 at 45 degrees, the ends of the second vertical housing 1491 and the second horizontal housing 1492 are mutually connected. When placed face to face, the ends of the second vertical formation part 14911, the second vertical formation part 14921, the second vertical integral connection part 14912, and the second horizontal integral connection part 14922 come into contact with each other, and the second vertical Coupling screws 1413 pass through the second coupling grooves 14913 at the end portions of each second vertical integral connection portion 14912 of the housing 1491 and attach to each second protruding coupling portion 1423 of the second horizontal housing 1492. can be assembled by fastening.

By changing the shape described above, the end of the vertical integral connection part 14112 is formed to protrude beyond the 45 degree cut portion of the vertical formation part 14111, and two coupling grooves 14113 are formed at both ends of the vertical integral connection part 14112, respectively. ), even if the second horizontal integral connectors 14922 having different lengths are formed apart from each other, they can be assembled by fastening the vertical housing and the horizontal frame with two coupling screws 1413 at each corner of the frame. .

In the housing 1410 according to another embodiment of the present invention, the ends of the horizontal and vertical housings are cut at 45 degrees, and placed against each other, and a plurality of couplings are made at the ends of the vertical housing without inserting a separate reinforcing piece. By combining and assembling with screws, there is an effect of significantly increasing the bonding force while assembling is simple.
