Abstract

A clamping mechanism for a web cam is composed of a first clamping arm, a second clamping arm, a connection base and an elastic component. The connection base is fixed on a side of the first clamping arm. The second clamping arm can movably combine with the connection base. The elastic component is placed between the second clamping arm and the connection base. Clamping force is generated between the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm. Meanwhile, no matter how much is the relative distance, the angle between two clamping arms is always the same so as to provide stable clamping performance.

Description of the invention (l) [Technical field to which the invention belongs The present invention relates to a clamping mechanism for a network camera, a type capable of carrying the network camera, and for clips of different thicknesses ^ don't mean | can provide stable clamping Clamping mechanism for power. ^ # 作 'All previous technologies] With the rapid increase of network transmission speed, the transfer of video files on the network | for speed transmission, and the popularity of face-to-face real-time audio and video communication has become widespread; one of the most popular computer peripherals is the "Internet Webcam ". Since the webcam captures real-time images and sound effects, how to keep the webcam in a stable position without shaking ’is a very important issue. | Romance The current webcam usage can be roughly divided into the following three. For consumers using CRT monitors, 'the webcam will be placed on top of the screen or on the desktop; for consumers who use LCD monitors, the camera will be held on the screen or placed on the screen. On the desktop; third, when using Zhaoji computers, most users hold the webcam on the screen. To sum up, if the webcam is to meet the needs of all users, its base needs to have the functions of "pinning" and "clamping", and ... the thickness of the LCD screen and the screen of the notebook computer are different, Therefore, in terms of the function of the pinch, it is necessary to have a refreshing design with flexible width adjustment to meet the needs of screens with different thicknesses. At present, the flexible clamping design of the base of network cameras in the market today does not require a traditional clothespin design. The torsion spring forms a pedestal base part. The clamping principle of this base part is the same as that of a conventional clothespin.

Description of the invention (2) ^ ----—_____ The camera lens is attached to the upper seat », and the unit price of the finished product is higher:-the demand for assembly is lost, the finished product's appearance ruler + In addition, in order to meet the requirements of different thicknesses. The size is also large, which cannot meet the miniaturization. In addition, in the stable front end of the clamp, according to the coolness & 3, the two cool angles on the clothespin base as the clamp make the inward thickness different. Objects will show different openings when the opening is too large. The holding area and holding force vary when the opening is too large, especially when the opening is too large. The area and the holding area of the holding fruit are different. Contents of the present invention are greatly reduced. The lack of clamping function of the base is a technical problem, which is due to the fixed structure design of the network camera. Pay 3 is miniaturized, easy to assemble, and loses the effect. It is explained in the above-mentioned conventional machine clamping mechanism. The main two problems are the network camera elastic components provided by the present invention, in which the first-clamp arm and the second Clip [Connecting base :: It is fixed to the first clamping arm ~ 'arm is used to carry a network camera, the connecting base is supported on the elastic element by two i and the second clamping arm is connected to the connecting base, to the clamping arm and The second clamping arm is between the second clamping arm and the connection base; wherein the first clamping object is in the first position: when it is away, the elastic element is compressed to maintain a fixed angle. ”Between the open ends of the second clamp arm, and the included angle is the functional structure achieved by the present invention, providing a network with solid second, which can achieve a stable central clamping angle with a compact and easy to assemble knot Camera holding mechanism, [Embodiment] Fu Zhiguo.
