Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of imaging equipment technology, and more specifically to a camera. Background Technology

[0002] A camera, or simply camera, is a device that uses optical imaging principles to form an image and records it using film; it is an optical instrument used for photography. Cameras can be broadly classified into film cameras and digital cameras based on their imaging medium. With social development and technological advancements, traditional film cameras, due to their inferior image clarity compared to digital cameras, have gradually faded from people's view, with digital cameras or even mobile phones being the most common means of taking photos. However, the unique operating method of film cameras remains in people's memories.

[0003] As we all know, film cameras have two film magazines: one for storing unused film and the other for storing used film. After taking a picture, a dial is turned to retrieve the used film into the used film magazine before taking the next picture. Digital cameras or mobile phones, however, do not have film, so there is no need to turn a dial to retrieve the film; in fact, mobile phone shooting is done directly on the screen. The clicking sound of the dial on a film camera and the mechanical sound of pressing the shutter button are still unforgettable for many users. How to provide users with both high-quality imaging technology and the tactile feel of a film camera in a single camera has become a key challenge that camera manufacturers need to solve.

When the dial is rotated, the elastic limiting member slides on the limiting tooth, and the limiting block slides on the limiting platform.

[0005] As a further improvement of the present invention, a torsion spring is sleeved on the linkage component, and a rotation limiting block is provided on the linkage component. One end of the torsion spring is connected to the rotation limiting block, and the other end is connected to the dial bracket. The rotation limiting block can abut against the side wall of the dial bracket, and the torsion spring can drive the linkage component to move up and down and rotate.

[0006] As a further improvement of the present invention, the shutter button is provided with a reset spring, one end of the reset spring is connected to the shutter button and the other end is connected to the dial bracket. The reset spring is used to drive the shutter button to move upward. The shutter button is provided with a limit buckle, the limit buckle passes through the dial bracket and can abut against the lower end face of the dial bracket.

[0007] As a further improvement of the present invention, the limiting platform is a spiral ring structure, the limiting boss is provided with a limiting groove, one end of the limiting block is provided with a guide post, the guide post extends into the limiting groove and slides in cooperation with the inner sidewall of the limiting groove, and the height of the limiting platform gradually increases along the rotation direction of the actuating wheel.

[0008] As a further improvement of the present invention, the contact switch includes a contact electrode and an elastic electrode, the contact electrode and the elastic electrode are electrically connected to the control board respectively, a gap is reserved between the elastic electrode and the contact electrode, one end of the linkage extends out of the dial bracket and can connect with the elastic electrode, and the linkage can push the elastic electrode to deform towards the contact electrode.

[0009] As a further improvement of the present invention, a flash lamp is provided inside the housing, one end of the flash lamp extends out of the front end face of the housing, and a flash charging switch and a charging indicator light are provided on the housing. The flash lamp, the flash charging switch and the charging indicator light are electrically connected to the control board.

[0010] As a further improvement of the present invention, a sliding switch and a main unit indicator light are provided inside the housing, one end of the sliding switch and the main unit indicator light respectively protruding from the housing, and the sliding switch and the main unit indicator light are electrically connected to the control board respectively.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0015] This invention allows the linkage to connect with the contact switch by pressing the shutter button, thereby enabling the control board to control the lens to take pictures. It can use the imaging technology of digital cameras to obtain high-resolution photos. On the other hand, the combination of the dial and the elastic limiter can maintain the operating feel of a film camera, satisfying the user's nostalgia and improving the user experience.

[0016] In actual use, initially, the limit block abuts against the limit platform. The user can rotate the dial to make the elastic limit component slide on the limit teeth. The elastic limit component deforms elastically and engages with each limit tooth in sequence, producing a "clicking" sound. When the dial is rotated until the limit notch aligns with the limit block, the limit block will enter the limit notch and engage, producing a mechanical collision sound. At this point, the dial cannot be rotated any further. Then, the user can press the shutter button, causing the linkage to move downward, causing the limit block to disengage from the limit notch and re-abut against the limit platform. The dial can only be rotated again after the limit block disengages from the limit notch. At the same time, during the downward movement of the linkage, it will engage with the contact switch, thereby triggering the photo-taking signal. The control board then controls the lens to take a picture, thus completing one round of photography. Attached Figure Description

[0025] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this invention have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains; the terminology used in the specification is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the invention; the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, in the specification, claims, and foregoing drawings are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. The terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, or foregoing drawings are used to distinguish different objects, not to describe a particular order.

[0026] In this invention, the reference to "embodiment" means that a specific feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of the invention. The appearance of this phrase in various places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a mutually exclusive, independent, or alternative embodiment to other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described in this invention can be combined with other embodiments.

[0027] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] like Figure 1-7 As shown, a camera includes a housing 1, which comprises a front housing 101 and a rear housing 102. The front housing 101 and the rear housing 102 are fixedly connected by screws, forming a cavity within the front housing 101 and the rear housing 102 to facilitate the installation of other components. The housing 1 is designed so that the front housing 101 and the rear housing 102 are detachable, facilitating both assembly and disassembly for maintenance. A lanyard hole 103 is provided on one side of the housing 1, through which a lanyard can be threaded, making it convenient to carry the camera when outdoors.

[0029] A control board 2 and a lens 3 are installed inside the cavity of the housing 1. The lens 3 is electrically connected to the control board 2, and one end of the lens 3 extends out of the front end face of the housing 1. A contact switch 4 is provided on the control board 2. A dial mechanism 5 is provided inside the housing 1, and one end of the dial mechanism 5 extends out of the upper end face of the housing 1. The dial mechanism 5 can be connected to the contact switch 4. When taking a picture, the user can operate the dial mechanism 5 to connect it to the contact switch 4, making the contact switch 4 conductive; at this time, the control board 2 will control the lens 3 to take a picture. The imaging principle of this camera can adopt the imaging principle of existing digital cameras. Its specific structure and imaging principle will not be described in detail in this article.

[0030] Specifically, the dial mechanism 5 includes a dial bracket 51, which is fixedly installed inside the housing 1. The dial bracket 51 has a dial wheel 52, a shutter button 53, and a linkage 54. The dial wheel 52 is rotatably connected to the dial bracket 51, with one side extending beyond the rear end face of the housing 1. The shutter button 53 is movable and limitedly connected to the dial bracket 51, with one end extending beyond the upper end face of the housing 1. The linkage 54 is also movable and limitedly connected to the dial bracket 51. When taking a picture, the user presses the shutter button 53, which drives the linkage 54, causing it to descend and connect to the contact switch 4, thus triggering the contact switch 4. The contact switch 4 sends a signal to the control board 2, which, upon receiving the trigger signal, controls the lens 3 to take the picture, completing the photo-taking action.

[0031] To achieve a retro film camera feel, in this embodiment, a limiting platform 521 is provided on the lower end surface of the dial wheel 52, and a limiting notch 522 is provided on the limiting platform 521. A limiting block 541 is provided on the linkage member 54, and the limiting block 541 slides in cooperation with the limiting platform 521, and the limiting block 541 can engage with the limiting notch 522. An elastic limiting member 55 is provided on the dial wheel bracket 51, and a limiting tooth 523 is provided on the outer side wall of the dial wheel 52. One end of the elastic limiting member 55 slides in cooperation with the limiting tooth 523. When the dial wheel 52 is rotated, the elastic limiting member 55 slides on the limiting tooth 523, and the limiting block 541 slides on the limiting platform 521.

[0032] In the initial state, the limit block 541 abuts against the limit platform 521. The user can rotate the actuating wheel 52, causing the elastic limit member 55 to slide on the limit teeth 523. The elastic limit member 55 undergoes elastic deformation and engages with each limit tooth 523 in sequence, producing a "clicking" sound. When the actuating wheel 52 is rotated until the limit notch 522 aligns with the limit block 541, the limit block 541 will enter the limit notch 522 and engage, producing a mechanical collision sound. The dial 52 can no longer be rotated; then the user can press the shutter button 53, which will cause the linkage 54 to move downward, so that the limit block 541 disengages from the limit notch 522 and re-engages with the limit platform 521; the dial 52 can only be rotated after the limit block 541 disengages from the limit notch 522; at the same time, the linkage 54 will connect with the contact switch 4 during its downward movement, thereby triggering the shooting signal, and the control board 2 will control the lens 3 to take a picture, thus completing one round of shooting.

[0033] This camera uses the imaging principle of a digital camera, enabling users to obtain high-resolution photos. At the same time, through the cooperation of the dial 52, the linkage 54, and the elastic limiter 55, it has the operating feel of a film camera. Users can hear a "click" sound when they turn the dial 52, and the dial 52 can only turn again after the shutter button 53 is pressed, which can satisfy users' nostalgia and enhance their user experience.

[0034] In this embodiment, the limiting platform 521 has a spiral ring structure, and a limiting groove 524 is provided inside the limiting platform 521. One end of the limiting block 541 is provided with a guide post 543. The guide post 543 extends into the limiting groove 524 and slides in cooperation with the inner sidewall of the limiting groove 524. During the rotation of the actuating wheel 52, the guide post 543 will slide on the inner sidewall of the limiting groove 524. Through the cooperation between the guide post 543 and the limiting groove 524, on the one hand, it can prevent the linkage 54 from disengaging from the actuating wheel 52, thereby improving the stability of the structure; on the other hand, the sliding of the guide post 543 along the inner wall of the limiting groove 524 can also provide torque to the linkage 54, thereby enabling the linkage 54 to rotate.

[0035] To allow the linkage 54 to reset, a torsion spring 56 is fitted onto the linkage 54, and a rotation limit block 542 is provided on the linkage 54. One end of the torsion spring 56 abuts against the rotation limit block 542, and the other end is connected to the dial bracket 51. The rotation limit block 542 can abut against the side wall of the dial bracket 51. The torsion spring 56 can drive the linkage 54 to move up, down, and rotate. When the dial wheel 52 is rotated, the limit block 541 slides on the limit platform 521, and the guide post 543 slides along the inner side wall of the limit groove 524 and drives the linkage 54 to rotate, while simultaneously compressing the torsion spring 56. When the dial wheel 52 rotates to its limit position, the limit block 541 is engaged in the limit notch 522, and the user can take a picture by pressing the shutter button 53. When the user presses the shutter button 53, the shutter button 53 pushes the linkage 54 downward, compressing the torsion spring 56. After the linkage 54 causes the limiting block 541 to disengage from the limiting notch 522, the torsion spring 56 drives the linkage 54 to rotate until the rotating limiting block 542 abuts against the dial bracket 51 and makes a "click" sound. At this point, the limiting block 541 passes over the limiting platform 521. When the user releases the shutter button 53, the torsion spring 56 pushes the linkage 54 upward until the limiting block 541 abuts against the limiting platform 521. The user can then continue to rotate the dial 52, causing the limiting block 541 to slide on the limiting platform 521. The torsion spring 56 provides driving force in both rotational and upward directions to the linkage 54, allowing the linkage 54 to jump out of the limiting notch 522 and abut against the limiting platform 521.

[0036] The height of the limiting platform 521 gradually increases along the rotation direction of the dial wheel 52. When the user presses the shutter button 53, causing the limiting block 541 to disengage from the limiting notch 522, the linkage 54 is driven to rotate under the elastic force of the torsion spring 56. After the linkage 54 passes the limiting notch 522, the limiting block 541 will abut against the lowest end of the limiting platform 521. As the dial wheel 52 rotates, the limiting platform 521 abutting against the limiting block 541 gradually rises, which will appropriately compress the limiting block 541, thereby compressing the torsion spring 56. As a result, the user needs to increase the force required to rotate the dial wheel 52, which can improve the user's feel when rotating the dial wheel 52.

[0037] To allow the shutter button 53 to reset, a return spring 57 is provided on the shutter mount. One end of the return spring 57 is connected to the shutter button 53, and the other end is connected to the dial bracket 51. The return spring 57 drives the shutter button 53 to move upward. To limit the shutter button 53, a limit buckle 531 is provided on the shutter button 53. The limit buckle 531 passes through the dial bracket 51 and can abut against the lower end face of the dial bracket 51. When the user presses the shutter button 53, the shutter button 53 compresses the return spring 57, and the limit buckle 531 extends out of the lower end face of the dial bracket 51. When the user releases the shutter button 53, the elastic force of the return spring 57 pushes the shutter button 53 upward. The shutter button 53 drives the limit buckle 531 to move together until the limit buckle 531 abuts against the lower end face of the dial bracket 51.

[0038] In this embodiment, the contact switch 4 includes a contact electrode 41 and an elastic electrode 42, which are respectively welded to the control board 2. A gap is reserved between the elastic electrode 42 and the contact electrode 41. One end of the linkage 54 extends out of the dial bracket 51 and can connect with the elastic electrode 42. The linkage 54 can push the elastic electrode 42 to deform towards the contact electrode 41. Normally, the contact electrode 41 and the elastic electrode 42 are separate and not conductive. When the user presses the shutter button 53, the shutter button 53 pushes the linkage 54 down. The other end of the linkage 54 extends out of the dial bracket 51 and connects with the elastic electrode 42. As the linkage 54 continues to descend, it pushes the elastic electrode 42 to deform elastically until the elastic electrode 42 connects with the contact electrode 41, at which point they become conductive. A signal is fed back to the control board 2. After receiving the conduction signal, the control board 2 controls the lens 3 to take a picture, thus completing the photo capture. After the user releases the shutter button 53, the linkage 54 returns to its original position under the action of the torsion spring 56; at this time, the elastic electrode 42 will also automatically return to its original position under its own elastic force, thus separating from the contact electrode 41 and returning to its initial position.

[0039] A battery compartment 104 is provided inside the housing 1. The battery compartment 104 is electrically connected to the control board 2. The battery compartment 104 is used to hold batteries to power the control board 2 and enable the camera function. A battery cover 105 is installed on the battery compartment 104 and is detachably connected to the housing 1. By opening the battery cover 105, the battery compartment 104 can be exposed to allow the battery to be installed or removed. The battery cover 105 facilitates battery replacement and improves practicality.

[0040] To facilitate photography in low-light conditions, a flash 6 is installed inside the housing 1. One end of the flash 6 extends beyond the front surface of the housing 1. The flash 6 is used to provide supplementary lighting when the user takes a photo. Since the flash 6 requires a large voltage and current, it needs to be charged before use. In this embodiment, a flash charging switch 61 and a charging indicator light 62 are provided inside the housing 1. The control board 2 has a circuit structure for charging the flash 6. The flash 6, flash charging switch 61, and charging indicator light 62 are electrically connected to the control board 2. When the flash 6 needs to be used, the user must first press the flash charging switch 61. At this time, the battery will charge the flash 6 through the charging circuit, and the charging indicator light 62 will light up. When the charging indicator light 62 goes out, it indicates that charging is complete. Afterwards, when the user presses the shutter button 53, the control board 2 controls the lens 3 to take a photo and also controls the flash 6 to work, illuminating the flash 6 to provide supplementary lighting for the photo.

[0041] In well-lit environments, the flash charging switch 61 can be left pressed, and the flash 6 will not work when the user takes a picture; this design can effectively save battery power and thus extend battery life.

[0042] A slide switch 7 and a main unit indicator light 8 are installed inside the housing 1. One end of the slide switch 7 and the main unit indicator light 8 protrudes from the housing 1, and the slide switch 7 and the main unit indicator light 8 are electrically connected to the control board 2. The user can observe whether the camera is powered on through the main unit indicator light 8, and can also judge the battery level by the color of the main unit indicator light 8. The slide switch 7 is used to power on / off the entire camera and to switch the camera's shooting modes, such as: normal mode, black and white mode, retro mode, video recording mode, etc. The functionality of the camera can be enhanced by setting the slide switch 7; the specific modes it switches to are not limited in this invention.

[0043] To facilitate photography, an observation box 9 is provided inside the housing 1. An objective lens 91 is located at the front end of the observation box 9, connected to the front surface of the housing 1. An eyepiece 92 is located at the rear end of the observation box 9, connected to the rear surface of the housing 1. Observation holes are provided on the housing 1 at corresponding positions to the objective lens 91 and the eyepiece 92. When taking a photo, the user can observe the scene in front of the camera through the observation holes and then through the objective lens 91. Once the user confirms that the observed scene is what they want to capture, they can press the shutter button 53 to take the photo. By setting up the observation box 9, the user can understand the shooting range and scene in real time, improving the user experience.

[0044] The control board 2 is equipped with a memory card slot 10 and a data cable connector 11, with one end of the memory card slot 10 and the data cable connector 11 extending out of the housing 1. Inserting a memory card into the memory card slot 10 facilitates the storage of images captured by the camera; connecting a data cable to the data cable connector 11 allows external devices to easily acquire images captured by the camera, enabling image export.

[0045] In this embodiment, the data cable connector 11 is a Type-C connector; in other embodiments, the data cable connector 11 may also adopt other connector structures that can realize data transmission.

[0046] The above-described specific embodiments are preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the specific scope of the present invention. The scope of the present invention includes but is not limited to the specific embodiments described herein. All equivalent changes made in accordance with the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
