DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] The present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0032] The present application discloses a hunting camera, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a housing 1, a camera 2 arranged in the housing 1, and two antennas 3 arranged on the housing 1. The housing 1 includes a rear cover 12 and a front cover 11 covering the rear cover 12. The end faces of the rear cover 12 and the front cover 11 that are close to each other are both open. The camera 2 is arranged in a cavity formed by the rear cover 12 and the front cover 11. Two buckles are rotatably connected to the rear cover 12. The ends of the two buckles 13 away from the rear cover 12 can be hooked with the protrusions of the front cover 11, so as to achieve the sealing of the front cover 11 and the rear cover 12. The two antennas 3 are both threadedly connected to the rear cover 12, and the two antennas 3 are penetrated through the rear cover 12 and electrically connected to the camera 2. A wireless module is arranged in the camera 2, and data transmission is achieved with a remote external device through the antenna 3, thereby achieving remote data exchange. At this time, it is no longer necessary to contact the camera 2 for data extraction.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, a transparent shooting area 111 is provided on the end face of the front cover 11 away from the rear cover 12. The shooting area 111 is circular, and its axis can coincide with the axis of the end of the camera 2. At this time, the lens of the camera 2 arranged in the shell 1 can shoot people or animals outside the shell 1 through the shooting area 111. At this time, the camera 2 is completely placed in the shell 1, so that the camera 2 is not easily damaged.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, two shooting sensing areas 112 are further provided on the front housing 11. Both shooting sensing areas 112 include an inclined portion 1121 and a transparent portion 1122 provided at one end of the inclined portion 1121 away from the front housing 11. Both shooting sensing areas 112 are located below the shooting area 111 and are respectively located on both sides of the vertical plane where the axis of the shooting area 111 is located. One end of the two shooting sensing areas 112 away from the front housing 11 is inclined toward the direction away from the vertical plane where the axis of the shooting area 111 is located. The infrared receiving direction of the infrared sensor of the camera 2 is the same as the inclined direction of the inclined portion 1121, so that when an animal or a person enters the receiving range of the infrared sensor of the camera 2, the camera 2 is activated in advance to take pictures.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, a plurality of transparent infrared sensing areas 113 are also provided on the front cover 11. The infrared sensing areas 113 are arranged around the shooting area 111. The infrared lights of the camera 2 are respectively directed toward the infrared sensing areas 113. When taking photos in a dark environment, infrared lights are used to take night images.

[0036] like Figure 2As shown, since the hunting camera is usually installed on the branches of trees when shooting in the wild, two rectangular fixed rings 121 are provided at one end of the rear cover 12 away from the front cover 11, and the fixed rings 121 are close to the upper end of the rear cover 12. A strap 122 is inserted through the two fixed rings 121, and the strap 122 can be tied to the branches of the trees where the hunting camera is fixed, so that the installation of the hunting camera is more convenient.

[0037] like Figure 3 As shown, when the hunting camera is mounted on the branches of a tree using the strap 122, the hunting camera is fixed by the friction between the strap 122 and the branches. After the strap 122 is used for a long time, the hunting camera will be displaced downward due to its own gravity. At this time, the shooting direction of the camera 2 will change, thereby affecting the shooting quality. Therefore, a fastener 4 is provided in the rear cover 12 to increase the connection strength between the camera 2 and the branches of the tree. The rear cover 12 includes a cover body 123 connected to the front cover 11 and a rear cover 124 fixed to the side of the cover body 123 away from the front cover 11 by bolts. The end surface of the rear cover 124 close to the cover body 123 is open, the fastener 4 is provided in the inner cavity of the rear cover 124, and the fixing ring 121 is provided on the end surface of the rear cover 124 away from the cover body 123. The fastener 4 includes a fastening plate 41 that slides horizontally in the inner cavity of the rear cover 124, a plurality of fastening nails 42 that are integrally formed on the end surface of the fastening plate 41 away from the front cover 11, and a fastening ring 43 that is integrally formed on the fastening plate 41. The end surface of the rear cover 124 away from the cover body 123 is integrally formed with a plurality of protrusions, all of which are located below the fixing ring 121, and the end surface of the protrusion 125 away from the rear cover 124 and the end surface of the fixing ring 121 away from the rear cover 124 are in the same plane. The end surface of the protrusion 125 away from the rear cover 124 is provided with a sliding hole 1251 that is connected to the inner cavity of the rear cover 124, and the fastening nails 42 pass through the sliding holes 1251 and can abut against the branches of trees, and the fastening nails 42 can be inserted into the branches of trees, thereby increasing the connection strength between the hunting camera and the branches of trees. The outer wall of the fastening nail 42 can maintain contact with the inner wall of the sliding hole 1251, so that rainwater is not easy to enter the inner cavity of the rear cover 124.

[0038] like Figure 3As shown, the inner cavity of the rear cover 124 is provided with two communicating holes 126 communicating with the inner cavity of the fixing ring 121, and the fastening ring 43 can be inserted into the inner cavity of the fixing ring 121 through the communicating holes 126, and the outer wall of the fastening ring 43 is kept in contact with the inner wall of the communicating hole 126, and a gap is left between the outer wall end face of the fastening ring 43 away from the rear cover 124 and the inner wall end face of the fixing ring 121 away from the rear cover 124. The strap 122 passes through the fastening ring 43, and when the hunting camera is mounted on a tree branch using the strap 122, when the fixing ring 121 is in contact with the tree branch, the strap 122 applies a force toward the tree branch to the fastening ring 43, thereby driving the fastening nail 42 to move toward the tree branch and insert into the tree branch, thereby increasing the connection strength between the hunting camera and the tree branch.

[0039] like Figure 3 As shown, the end surface of the fastening nail 42 away from the cover body 123 is coaxially integrally formed with a fastening needle 44, and the diameter of the fastening needle 44 is smaller than the diameter of the fastening nail 42, so that the fastening needle 44 is easier to insert into the tree branch. The length of the fastening needle 44 is smaller than the length of the sliding hole 1251, and the distance between the end surface of the fastening needle 44 away from the rear cover 12 and the end surface of the fastening plate 41 close to the rear cover 12 is smaller than the distance between the end surface of the protrusion away from the rear cover 12 and the end surface of the rear cover 12 close to the rear cover 124. At this time, when the hunting camera is not fixed on the tree branch, the fastening needle 44 can be completely retracted into the sliding hole 1251, so that it is not easy to be damaged when taking the hunting camera.

[0040] like Figure 3 As shown, after the fastening needle 44 is retracted into the sliding hole 1251, its position is not yet defined and it will still extend from the sliding hole 1251. Therefore, an elastic member 5 is provided in the inner cavity of the rear cover 124 to drive the fastening plate 41 to move closer to the cover body 123. The elastic member 5 is a spring in this embodiment, one end of the spring abuts against the end surface of the fastening plate 41 away from the cover body 123, and the other end of the spring abuts against the side wall of the inner cavity of the rear cover 124 away from the cover body 123. The elastic member 5 is used to apply an elastic force toward the cover body 123 to the fastening plate 41, so that the fastening needle 44 remains in a state of being retracted into the sliding hole 1251.

[0041] like Figure 3 As shown, when the hunting camera is transported, the hunting camera is subjected to vibration, which may cause the fastening pin 44 to overcome the elastic force of the elastic member 5 and extend from the sliding hole 1251. Therefore, the upper end of the fixing ring 121 is vertically slid with a positioning block 6 that drives the fastening plate 41 to maintain contact with the rear cover 12. The positioning block 6 can simultaneously abut against the inner wall of the fixing ring 121 and the side wall of the fastening ring 43 away from the rear cover 12. During transportation, the positioning block 6 is inserted between the inner wall of the fixing ring 121 and the outer wall of the fastening ring 43 to limit the relative position of the fastener 4 and the rear cover 12, so that the fastening pin 44 of the hunting camera remains in a state of being retracted and in the sliding hole 1251 during transportation.

[0042] The implementation principle of this embodiment is: pull out the positioning block 6 from between the fastening block and the positioning block 6, then align the camera area of ​​the hunting camera with the position to be photographed, tie the strap 122 to the installation position, tighten the strap 122 so that the fastening needle 44 is driven to extend out of the sliding hole 1251 by the strap 122, and insert the fastening needle 44 into the installation position, then tighten the strap 122 and start the camera 2.

[0043] The embodiments of the specific implementation methods are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
