[0002] Hunting camera, also known as infrared sensing camera, is a new type of product that can form a system between cameras and surveillance cameras. It adopts infrared DSP intelligent calculation, that is, low false alarm automatic human (animal) recognition technology, and automatically takes high-definition pictures or videos. In addition, the infrared camera can automatically start taking pictures or shooting video clips when sensing infrared heat source according to its own settings.

[0003] In the related art, the hunting camera is generally in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped, wherein the lower end surface of the hunting camera has the smallest area, and a mounting hole for connecting a tripod is opened on the lower end surface of the hunting camera, and the mounting hole and the tripod are threadedly connected. When the hunting camera needs to be installed outdoors, the tripod is set up first, and then the mounting hole on the hunting camera is connected to the tripod, so that the hunting camera can be stably installed outdoors.

[0004] With regard to the above-mentioned related technologies, there is a defect that when outdoor detection work is required, the staff needs to carry a hunting camera and a tripod at the same time, which makes it inconvenient for the staff to carry. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to make it convenient for workers to carry a hunting camera and a bracket for installing the hunting camera, the present application provides a hunting camera.

[0006] The hunting camera provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A hunting camera, comprising:

[0008] A camera body, wherein the side surface of the camera body with the largest area is set as a folding alignment surface, and the lower end surface of the camera body with the smallest area is set as a working alignment surface;

[0009] A connecting slider, the damping slide is arranged on the folding alignment surface of the camera body, and the connecting slider can move to a position where the folding alignment surface is close to the working alignment surface;

[0010] A mounting seat, damping hinged on the connecting slider, the mounting seat can be parallel to the folding alignment surface or the working alignment surface;

[0011] The support arm mechanism is accommodated on the mounting seat, and after the mounting seat is parallel to the folding alignment surface, the support arm mechanism is unfolded to support the camera body.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, when the hunting camera is to be installed outdoors, the connecting slider is first moved from the folding alignment surface to a position close to the working alignment surface, and then the mounting seat is rotated so that the mounting seat is parallel to the working alignment surface. At this time, the mounting seat is in a horizontal setting state, and then the support arm mechanism is unfolded from the mounting seat. At this time, the support arm mechanism and the mounting seat will form a bracket, so that the hunting camera can be installed in an outdoor environment through the bracket; when the hunting camera is to be stored, the support arm mechanism is first stored on the mounting seat, and then the mounting seat is rotated so that the mounting seat is parallel to the folding alignment surface, and then the connecting slider is moved away from the working alignment surface by a predetermined distance, so that the center of the mounting seat coincides with the center of the folding alignment surface, so that the hunting camera and the bracket for mounting the hunting camera can be stored into a roughly block-shaped object. Compared with the method of installing the hunting camera with a tripod alone, this design method makes it easier to place the hunting camera and the bracket for mounting the hunting camera in a bag or container, so that it is convenient for the staff to carry the hunting camera and the bracket during outdoor detection work.

[0013] Preferably, the hinge between the mounting seat and the connecting slider is located at the center of the mounting seat, and the mounting seat includes a first connecting part, two second connecting parts and four third connecting parts, the first connecting part is connected to the connecting slider; the two second connecting parts are connected to the two ends of the first connecting part, and the distribution direction of the two second connecting parts is parallel to the sliding direction of the connecting slider; the four third connecting parts are arranged in a group of two and respectively cooperate with the two second connecting parts, and the two third connecting parts are respectively damped and hinged on the two sides adjacent to the second connecting part and the first connecting part, and the line connecting the end of the third connecting part close to the second connecting part and the end away from the second connecting part can be in a vertically extended state; the support arm mechanism is arranged on the third connecting part, and the deployment direction of the support arm mechanism is parallel to the line connecting the end of the third connecting part close to the second connecting part and the end away from the second connecting part.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, on the one hand, the connection between the slider and the mounting seat is located on the center of the mounting seat, so when installing the hunting camera, the mounting seat and the support arm mechanism can support the hunting camera more stably, and on the other hand, the third connection part and the second connection part are damped and hinged, and the support arm mechanism is unfolded on the third connection part. When installing the bracket, the mounting seat is first made parallel to the working alignment surface, and then the third connection part is rotated to make the third connection part in a vertical extension state, and then the support arm mechanism can be unfolded from the third connection part to achieve the purpose of supporting the camera body. Compared with the fixed connection between the third connection part and the second connection part, this design method not only maintains a sufficient unfolding stroke of the support arm mechanism, but also makes the thickness of the third connection part not too thick, which helps to reduce the overall volume of the camera body and the bracket, and also enables the third connection part and the support arm mechanism to jointly adjust the height of the camera body in the vertical direction, which helps to improve the adjustment range of the bracket.

[0015] Preferably, the second connecting portion is connected to the first connecting portion in a damped rotation manner, and the second connecting portion can be folded onto a side surface of the first connecting portion away from the camera body.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, in order to increase the relative distance between the four support arm mechanisms, the overall volume of the mounting base should be appropriately increased, so the second connection part can be folded to the side surface of the first connection part away from the camera body. When the hunting camera is to be stored, the third connection part is first rotated so that the third connection part and the second connection part are on the same plane, and then the second connection part is rotated so that the second connection part is folded to the side surface of the first connection part away from the camera body. Therefore, when the mounting base is subsequently restored to the storage state, the space occupied by the mounting base as a whole along the movement direction of the connecting slider is not easy to be too large, thereby increasing the stability of the bracket supporting the camera body while maintaining the camera body and the bracket in the storage state. Can be more compact, thereby maintaining the convenience of storage of the camera body and the bracket.

[0017] Preferably, a mounting groove for the support arm mechanism is provided on the end surface of the third connecting part away from the second connecting part, and the support arm mechanism includes two first racks, two springs, a first support arm and two second racks, the two first racks are slidably arranged on the inner walls on both sides of the mounting groove opposite to each other, and the two first racks can approach or move away from each other; the two springs are connected to the two first racks, and the springs are used to make the two first racks perform a reset movement towards each other; the first support arm is slidably arranged in the mounting groove, and the first support arm is located between the two first racks; the two second racks are respectively arranged on the opposite sides of the first support arm, and the two second racks are respectively meshed with the two first racks, and the latching teeth on the second racks can be embedded in different tooth grooves on the first racks.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, when the support arm mechanism is to be unfolded, the third connection part is first rotated until a predetermined angle exists between the third connection part and the second connection part, and then the first support arm is pulled outward. During this process, the latching teeth on the second rack will cooperate with the tooth grooves on the first rack, and the first rack is first moved in a direction away from the second rack, so that the latching teeth on the second rack gradually disengage from the previous tooth groove on the first rack. When it is completely disengaged, the first rack can avoid the second rack to make the first support arm move outward, and then the spring will make the first rack move in a direction close to the second rack, so that the latching teeth on the second rack gradually fit into the previous tooth groove on the first rack. In the rear tooth groove on the first rack, the first support arm is moved outward by a distance of the tooth groove width, thereby achieving the purpose of expanding the first support arm from the third connection part. In this design, on the one hand, when the first support arm supports the camera body, under the engagement of the first rack and the second rack, the first support arm will not be retracted into the mounting groove due to the gravity of the camera body, thereby improving the stability of the bracket supporting the camera body. On the other hand, through the engagement of the first rack and the second rack, the length of the first support arm extending out of the mounting groove can be adjusted in multiple stages, thereby more accurately adjusting the height between the camera body and the ground.

[0019] Preferably, the support arm mechanism includes two second support arms, the two second support arms are damped and hinged on one end of the first support arm away from the bottom of the mounting groove, the rotation planes of the two second support arms are parallel, and the two second support arms can be folded onto the end surface of the third connecting part away from the second connecting part.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, on the one hand, the support arm mechanism also includes two second support arms, so that there are more contact points between the support arm mechanism and the ground, which helps to improve the support stability of the support arm mechanism for the camera body. On the other hand, the two second support arms can be folded to the end surface of the third connecting part. When the camera body and the bracket need to be stored, the second support arms can better fit on the third connecting part, thereby maintaining the structural compactness between the camera body and the bracket in the stored state.

[0021] Preferably, the support arm mechanism also includes a first damping rotation component connected to the first support arm, the first damping rotation component is hinged to the two second support arms, and the rotation axis of the first damping rotation component is parallel to the sliding direction of the first support arm.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, due to the setting of the first damping rotation component, the two second support arms can rotate around the extension line of the sliding path of the first support arm, thereby increasing the degree of freedom between the second support arm and the first support arm. Therefore, during the actual installation work, the two second support arms can be rotated according to the actual situation of the ground or the installation surface, so that the second support arms can be more stably abutted against the ground or the installation surface, thereby helping to improve the adaptability of the bracket.

[0023] Preferably, the first damping rotation assembly includes a fixed shell and a rotating shaft, the fixed shell is fixedly connected to the first support arm, and the fixed shell has an installation cavity for the rotating shaft to penetrate; a first spline sleeve that can elastically expand and contract is fixedly arranged in the installation cavity, and an annular limit groove is arranged on the inner wall of the installation cavity, and the annular limit groove is located on the side of the first spline sleeve away from the first support arm; the rotating shaft includes a spline shaft part, a limit part and an external connection part that are integrally connected in sequence, and the spline shaft part is meshed and penetrated in the first spline sleeve; the circumferential side part of the limit part is embedded in the annular limit groove, and the limit part can rotate in the annular limit groove; one end of the external connection part is connected to the limit part, and the other end passes through the installation cavity, and the part of the external connection part located outside the installation cavity is hinged to the two second support arms.

[0024] By adopting the above technical scheme, on the one hand, with the cooperation of the limiting portion and the annular limiting groove, the rotating shaft and the fixed shell can rotate relative to each other, and in the process of rotation of the rotating shaft, the annular limiting groove can also play a blocking role on the circumferential part of the limiting ring, so that the rotating shaft and the fixed shell can have a certain axial bearing capacity. On the other hand, with the cooperation of the spline shaft and the first spline sleeve, in the process of rotation of the rotating shaft, when the key on the spline shaft leaves the previous keyway on the first spline sleeve first, the first spline sleeve expands and deforms, so that the rotating shaft can rotate, and then when the key on the spline shaft is embedded in the next keyway on the first spline sleeve, the first spline sleeve contracts and deforms, so the rotating shaft and the fixed shell are connected with a damping rotation that can be adjusted in multiple stages, so that the position of the two second support arms relative to the first support arm can be adjusted more accurately, which helps to improve the environmental adaptability of the bracket.

[0025] Preferably, a second damping rotation component is provided at the connection between the second connecting part and the third connecting part, and the second damping rotation component includes two connecting blocks, a connecting spline shaft and a second spline sleeve that can undergo elastic expansion and contraction, the two connecting blocks are fixedly connected to the end face of the third connecting part close to the second connecting part, and the two connecting blocks are arranged at intervals; the two ends of the connecting spline shaft are fixedly connected to one end of the two connecting blocks close to each other; the second spline sleeve is fixedly connected to the end face of the second connecting part close to the third connecting part, and the second spline sleeve is engaged and passed through by the connecting spline shaft.

[0027] Preferably, the mounting seat is fixedly connected to an elastic card block on a side surface close to the working alignment surface, the elastic card block is in a semi-ellipsoidal shape, and the end of the elastic card block with a larger cross-sectional area is fixedly connected to the mounting seat; the camera body is provided with a card groove on the working alignment surface for the elastic card block to be embedded, and the inner wall of the card groove is in a shape that matches the elastic card block.

[0028] By adopting the above technical solution, when installing the bracket, first rotate the mounting base so that the mounting base is parallel to the working alignment surface. In this process, the elastic card block can be embedded in the card slot. Therefore, the connection between the mounting base and the camera body can be achieved not only through the connecting slider, but also through the cooperation between the elastic card block and the card slot. Therefore, it is not easy for the mounting base and the connecting slider to rotate relative to each other under the influence of the external environment, which helps to improve the installation stability of the camera body.

[0029] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

The second connection part and the third connection part are hinged in a damping manner, and the support arm mechanism is unfolded from the third connection part, so that the thickness of the third connection part is not too thick while maintaining a sufficient unfolding stroke of the support arm mechanism, which helps to reduce the overall volume of the camera body and the bracket, and also enables the third connection part and the support arm mechanism to jointly adjust the height of the camera body in the vertical direction, which helps to increase the adjustment range of the bracket;

[0032] 3. By folding the second connection portion to a surface on a side of the first connection portion away from the camera body, when the mounting base is subsequently restored to the storage state, the space occupied by the mounting base as a whole along the movement direction of the connecting slider is not easy to be too large, thereby increasing the stability of the bracket supporting the camera body while maintaining a more compact space between the camera body and the bracket in the storage state, thereby maintaining the convenience of storage of the camera body and the bracket.

[0037] The following is combined with Figure 1-3 This application is described in further detail.

[0038] The present application embodiment discloses a hunting camera. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The hunting camera includes a camera body 1 and a bracket. The camera body 1 is roughly in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped, and the camera body 1 will be installed in an outdoor environment through the bracket, so that the hunting camera can be used in outdoor detection work, and the bracket is connected to the camera body 1, so as to carry the camera body 1 and the bracket at the same time. Since the setting position of the bracket is related to the shape of the camera body 1, in this embodiment, the side surface of the camera body 1 with the largest area is set as a folding alignment surface 11, and the folding alignment surface 11 serves as a reference surface for the camera body 1 when the bracket is stored, and the lower end surface of the camera body 1 with the smallest area is set as a working alignment surface 12, and the working alignment surface 12 serves as a reference surface for the camera body 1 when the bracket is unfolded.

[0039] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The bracket includes a connecting slider 2, a mounting seat 3 and a support arm mechanism 4. The connecting slider 2 is slidably connected to the folding alignment surface 11 through a damping slide rail arranged on the camera body 1, and the sliding direction of the connecting slider 2 is parallel to the length direction of the folding alignment surface 11, and the connecting slider 2 can move to the edge of the folding alignment surface 11 close to the working alignment surface 12; the mounting seat 3 is damping-hinged on the connecting slider 2, and the center position of the mounting seat 3 is connected to the connecting slider 2, wherein when the mounting seat 3 is in different rotation positions, the mounting seat 3 can be parallel to the folding alignment surface 11 or the working alignment surface 12 respectively, so when the bracket needs to be used, first move the connecting slider 2 to the edge of the folding alignment surface 11 close to the working alignment surface 12, and then rotate the mounting seat 3 to make the mounting seat 3 parallel to the working alignment surface 12, at this time, the mounting seat 3 can support the camera body 1 as a part of the bracket.

[0040] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the mounting seat 3 is connected to the support arm mechanism 4, and the mounting seat 3 will contact the ground or the mounting surface through the support arm mechanism 4, so in order to increase the distance between the mounting seat 3 and the ground at different contact points, the structure between the bracket and the camera body 1 in the storage state can be more compact. In this embodiment, the mounting seat 3 includes a first connecting portion 31, two second connecting portions 32 and four third connecting portions 33. Specifically, the first connecting portion 31 is connected to the connecting slider 2, the two second connecting portions 32 are connected to both ends of the first connecting portion 31, and the two second connecting portions 32 are separated. The cloth direction is parallel to the sliding direction of the connecting slider 2, and the two second connecting parts 32 are damped and hinged with the first connecting part 31. Therefore, when the bracket needs to be stored, the first connecting part 31 is first rotated to make the first connecting part 31 parallel to the folding alignment surface 11, and then the second connecting part 32 is rotated to make the second connecting part 32 folded to the side surface of the first connecting part 31 away from the camera body 1. At this time, the two ends of the mounting seat 3 along the movement direction of the connecting slider 2 are not easy to be too long, so that the bracket and the camera body 1 can be stored more compactly, which makes it easier to place the bracket and the camera body 1 in a bag or container.

[0041] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The four third connection parts 33 are respectively arranged in groups of two to cooperate with the two second connection parts 32. Specifically, the two third connection parts 33 are respectively damped and hinged on the two sides adjacent to the second connection part 32 and the first connection part 31, so the third connection part 33 can be in a vertically extended state, wherein the end surface of the third connection part 33 away from the second connection part 32 is also provided with a mounting groove 331 for the support arm mechanism 4, and the expansion direction of the support arm mechanism 4 is parallel to the notch direction of the mounting groove 331. On the one hand, in order to provide the support arm mechanism 4 with sufficient expansion stroke, the third connection part 33 can be achieved by its own length, so the thickness of the third connection part 33 is not easy to be too thick, which helps to reduce the volume of the camera body 1 and the bracket in the storage state. On the other hand, the damping hinged manner of the third connection part 33 and the second connection part 32 can also enable the third connection part 33 and the support arm mechanism 4 to change the height of the camera body 1 in the vertical direction together, thereby making the adjustment range of the bracket larger.

[0042] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, the hinge connection between the third connecting part 33 and the second connecting part 32 is realized by the second damping rotation component 5. Specifically, the second damping rotation component 5 includes two connecting blocks 51, a connecting spline shaft 52 and a second spline sleeve 53 made of elastic material. The two connecting blocks 51 are fixedly connected to the end surface of the third connecting part 33 close to the second connecting part 32, and the two connecting blocks 51 are arranged at intervals; the two ends of the connecting spline shaft 52 are fixedly connected to the end surfaces of the two connecting blocks 51 close to one end; the second spline sleeve 53 is fixedly connected to the end surface of the second connecting part 32 close to the third connecting part 33, and the second spline sleeve 53 is provided for connecting the spline shaft 52. The shaft 52 is meshed and penetrated, so the cooperation of multiple keys on the connecting spline shaft 52 and multiple keyways on the second spline sleeve 53 can make the second connection part 32 and the third connection part 33 present a multi-level adjustable damping rotation connection, which helps to improve the adjustment accuracy between the second connection part 32 and the third connection part 33. In addition, due to the distance between the two connecting blocks 51 and the second spline sleeve 53, the connecting spline shaft 52 can slide relative to the second spline sleeve 53, and the third connection part 33 can be close to or away from the first connection part 31, so that the position change of the support arm mechanism 4 relative to the first connection part 31 is more diverse, which helps to improve the adaptability of the bracket to the environment.

[0043] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3In this embodiment, the support arm mechanism 4 includes two first racks 41, two springs 42, a first support arm 43 and two second racks 44. The two first racks 41 are slidably arranged on the inner walls of the mounting groove 331 on both sides opposite to each other, and the two first racks 41 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting groove 331 through the two springs 42, so the two first racks 41 can approach or move away from each other under the action of external force or the elastic force of the springs 42; the first support arm 43 is slidably arranged in the mounting groove 331, and the sliding direction of the first support arm 43 is parallel to the notch direction of the mounting groove 331, and the first support arm 43 is located between the two The two second racks 44 are fixedly connected on the opposite sides of the first support arm 43, and the two second racks 44 are respectively meshed with the two first racks 41. When the first support arm 43 is pulled outward, the first rack 41 will first move away from the second rack 44, and then move towards the second rack 44 under the action of the spring 42, so that the locking teeth on the second rack 44 can be moved in sequence and embedded in different tooth grooves of the first rack 41, so that the length of the first support arm 43 extending out of the mounting slot 331 can be adjusted in multiple stages, thereby more accurately adjusting the height between the camera body 1 and the ground.

[0044] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The support arm mechanism 4 also includes a first damping rotation component 46 and two second support arms 45. Specifically, the first damping rotation component 46 includes a fixed shell 461 and a rotating shaft 462. The fixed shell 461 is fixedly connected to the first support arm 43, and the fixed shell 461 has a mounting cavity 4611 for the rotating shaft 462 to penetrate, wherein a first spline sleeve 4612 of elastic material is fixedly connected in the mounting cavity 4611, and an annular limiting groove 4613 is opened on the inner wall of the mounting cavity 4611, and the annular limiting groove 4613 is located at a portion of the first spline sleeve 4612 away from the first support arm 43. On the side; the rotating shaft 462 includes a spline shaft portion 4621, a limiting portion 4622 and an external connecting portion 4623 which are integrally formed in sequence, and the spline shaft portion 4621 is meshed and penetrated in the first spline sleeve 4612; the circumferential side portion of the limiting portion 4622 is embedded in the annular limiting groove 4613, and the limiting portion 4622 can rotate in the annular limiting groove 4613, so that the spline shaft portion 4621 and the first spline sleeve 4612 remain meshed, so that the rotating shaft 462 is connected to the fixed shell 461 in a damped rotation, and the rotation axis of the rotating shaft 462 is parallel to the sliding direction of the first support arm 43.

[0045] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3One end of the external connection portion 4623 is connected to the limiting portion 4622, and the other end passes through the installation cavity 4611 and is damped and hinged with the two second support arms 45, so that the degree of freedom between the two second support arms 45 and the first support arm 43 is increased. When the bracket is actually installed, the two second support arms 45 can be rotated accordingly according to the actual convexity and concavity of the ground or the installation surface, so that the two second support arms 45 abut against the ground or the installation surface at appropriate positions, thereby improving the adaptability of the bracket. In addition, in the present embodiment, when the first support arm 43 is stored in the installation groove 331, the two second support arms 45 can be folded to the end surface of the third connection portion 33 away from the second connection portion 32, so when the bracket and the camera body 1 are in the storage state, a certain structural compactness can be maintained between the camera body 1 and the bracket.

[0046] Reference Figure 1 In the present embodiment, an elastic block 311 is fixedly connected to a surface of one side of the first connection portion 31 close to the working alignment surface 12. The elastic block 311 is in a semi-ellipsoidal shape, and an end of the elastic block 311 with a larger cross-sectional area is fixedly connected to the first connection portion 31. In order to cooperate with the elastic block 311, a clamping groove 13 for the elastic block 311 to be embedded is provided on the working alignment surface 12 of the camera body 1, and the inner wall of the clamping groove 13 is in a shape adapted to the elastic block 311. Therefore, when installing the bracket, after the mounting seat 3 is parallel to the working alignment surface 12, the elastic block 311 can be embedded in the clamping groove 13. The connection between the mounting seat 3 and the camera body 1 can be achieved not only through the connecting slider 2, but also through the cooperation between the elastic block 311 and the clamping groove 13, so that it is not easy for the mounting seat 3 and the connecting slider 2 to rotate relative to each other under the influence of the external environment, which helps to improve the installation stability of the camera body 1.

[0047] The implementation principle of a hunting camera in an embodiment of the present application is as follows: when the bracket is to be opened, the connecting slider 2 is first slid to the edge of the folding alignment surface 11 close to the working alignment surface 12, then the mounting base 3 is rotated, and the first connecting portion 31 is parallel to the working alignment surface 12, and the elastic card block 311 is embedded in the card slot 13, and then the second connecting portion 32 is rotated to fold the second connecting portion 32 and the third connecting portion 33 to the same plane as the first connecting portion 31, and finally the third connecting portion 33 is rotated and the support arm mechanism 4 is unfolded, so as to achieve the purpose of enabling the bracket to support the camera body 1.

[0048] When the bracket is to be stored, the support arm mechanism 4 is first stored on the third connecting portion 33, and the third connecting portion 33 is rotated and reset to the same plane as the second connecting portion 32, and then the second connecting portion 32 is rotated so that the second connecting portion 32 and the third connecting portion 33 are folded to the side surface of the first connecting portion 31 away from the camera body 1, and then the mounting base 3 is rotated so that the mounting base 3 is parallel to the folding alignment surface 11, and finally the connecting slider 2 is moved to the center position of the folding alignment surface 11, so that the hunting camera and the bracket for mounting the hunting camera can be stored into a roughly block-shaped object. Compared with the method of installing the hunting camera with a tripod alone, this design method makes it easier to place the hunting camera and the bracket for mounting the hunting camera in a bag or container, so that it is convenient for staff to carry the hunting camera and the bracket during outdoor detection work.

[0049] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
