[0020] It also includes a connecting pipe 105 and a floating plate 107; a water injection chamber 2001 is formed in the sealed housing 2; a connecting pipe 105 is fixedly connected to and communicated with the sealed housing 2, and the connecting pipe 105 has an internal electric control valve; two floating plates 107 are fixedly connected to the lower side of the camera host 102 of the connecting pipe 105.

[0021] It also includes a first electric shaft 101 ; the first electric shaft 101 is installed on the camera base 3 ; the rotating end of the first electric shaft 101 is fixedly connected to the camera host 102 .

[0022] It also includes a fixed plate 103; a second electric shaft 10201 is installed on the camera host 102; the fixed plate 103 is fixedly connected to the rotating end of the second electric shaft 10201; another lens 4 is fixedly connected to the fixed plate 103, and the position of the fixed plate 103 is adjusted by the second electric shaft 10201, and the shooting range of the lens 4 fixed on the fixed plate 103 is further adjusted, so as to fully observe the underwater situation.

[0023] The protective shell 1 is provided with a connector 1002 ; the protective shell 1 is connected via the connector 1002 , so that the protective shell 1 and the lens 4 can be retrieved after the protective shell 1 is thrown underwater manually.

[0024] The telescopic end of the telescopic driving member 108 is provided with silica gel to prevent the sealing cover shell 2 from being scratched when the telescopic end of the telescopic driving member 108 contacts the sealing cover shell 2, thereby affecting the camera lens 4.

[0025] The surface of the protective shell 1 is coated with an electronic protection nano coating, which is used to enhance the waterproof performance and water pressure resistance of the protective shell 1.

[0026] Sealing silicone is provided at the connection position between the fixed end of each electric telescopic rod 104 and the through hole on the protective shell 1; a connecting interlayer 1001 is formed between the protective shell 1 and the sealing cover shell 2; to prevent the protective shell 1 from being thrown into the water after the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 104 is extended outward, and the water flows into the connecting interlayer 1001 through the through hole on the protective shell 1.

[0027] The protective shell 1 is coated with an anti-fouling coating to prevent impurities in the water from adhering to the protective shell 1 and affecting the camera 4 .

[0028] The lens 4 is provided with a sealing ring, so that the lens 4 can maintain sealing performance under different water depths and pressure conditions, and is suitable for a variety of underwater shooting scenes.

[0029] When using the present invention, the water injection line on the sealed cover shell 2 is in a horizontal state, and then the user opens the electric control valve in the connecting pipe 105 by controlling the external remote control, and injects clean water into the water injection chamber 2001 from the connecting pipe 105. It should be noted that at this time, the telescopic end of the telescopic drive member 108 contacts the inner wall of the sealed cover shell 2 and is fixed in the sealed cover shell 2 to ensure the stability of the lens 4 during the water injection process; the protective shell 1 and the sealed cover shell 2 are transparently arranged, and when it is observed that clean water is injected into the water injection line of the sealed cover shell 2, the water injection into the sealed cover 2 is stopped, so that the present invention is filled with clean water inside, which increases the weight of the present invention and enables it to sink quickly to the bottom of the river; after the water injection is completed, the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 104 is driven to extend outward, and the electric telescopic rod 104 is like Figure 4After being shown, the user passes the rope through the through hole on the connector 1002, ties it to the connector 1002, and then throws the present invention into the river. After the present invention enters the water, the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 104 contacts the riverbed. After the present invention stops stably at the bottom of the water, in order to ensure that the lens 4 can be parallel to the riverbed, the fish species and the number of fish in the water area near the lens 4 are observed, and the scene observed by the lens 4 is transmitted through the network through the image sensor of the camera host 102, and the optical signal is converted into an electrical signal, and after preliminary digital processing, it is transmitted to the display screen in the hand of the user to realize intelligent processing. After the present invention stays at the bottom of the water, at this time, by controlling the telescopic end of the telescopic driving member 108 to contract, the telescopic end of the telescopic driving member 108 no longer presses against the inner wall of the sealing cover shell 2, and the buoyancy of the floating plate 107 makes the camera host 102 and the lens 4 and other parts float above the clear water. At this time, the camera host 102 and the lens 4 are as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, the floating plate 107 is located on the liquid surface 109, so that the lens 4 on the camera host 102 is parallel to the clean water surface 109, and the lens 4 maintains a parallel state at the bottom of the water, so that the environment around the water area can be observed smoothly. Clean water is injected into the sealing cover 2, and the camera host 102 and the lens 4 and other parts are floated above the clean water through the floating plate 107, so that it is prevented that after the existing lens 4 is thrown into the water by the user, the lens 4 faces the bottom of the water and the fish in the water area above the bottom of the water cannot be observed. At the same time, the lens 4 is protected by the protective shell 1 and the sealing cover 2, so that the existing lens 4 is prevented from being hit by stones in the water after being thrown into the water. In the event of damage to the lens 4 and the camera host 102, the present invention, before being thrown into the water, adds weight to the present invention by injecting water into the sealing cover 2, thereby ensuring that the present invention can smoothly sink to the bottom of the water. Compared with the existing underwater camera, which needs to add a configuration block to ensure that the camera sinks to the bottom of the water, the present invention is easier to carry, and the present invention uses the water for counterweight to keep the lens 4 and the camera host 102 in a high and horizontal state, that is, no matter how the protective shell 1 and the sealing cover 2 are turned over, the lens 4 can always be at the highest position in the sealing cover 2 under the action of the floating plate 107, thereby reducing the obstruction of the field of view of the lens 4 by debris.

[0030] Furthermore, after the lens 4 is parallel to the riverbed, the telescopic end of the telescopic driving member 108 is controlled to move toward the sealed cover 2, and the two telescopic ends of the telescopic driving members 108 are made to extend to the same length, so that the camera host 102 is located in the middle part of the sealed cover 2, and then the lens 4 and the camera host 102 are driven to rotate 360 ​​degrees by the first electric shaft 101, so that the surrounding situation of the present invention can be fully observed, and through the ranging function of the lens 4, the lens 4 can detect the position of the surrounding fish schools.

[0031] Furthermore, when there is mud at the bottom of the fishing river, the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 104 is supported on the riverbed, so that the lens 4 is prevented from sinking into the mud and affecting the shooting. After the lens 4 observes the fish school in the water area, the user pulls the rope tied to the connector 1002 to pull the present invention out of the water. Before pulling it out, if the riverbed contains water plants and other debris, making it difficult to pull the lens 4, the user can drive the electric telescopic rod 104 to retract, so that the present invention is in the water. Figure 1 The spherical shape shown is separated from the silt. At the same time, because the present invention injects clean water into the water injection chamber 2001, the present invention sinks to the bottom of the water quickly and smoothly. After the present invention is pulled upward and collected by the user, the user opens the electric control valve in the connecting pipe 105 to discharge the clean water in the sealing cover 2 through the connecting pipe 105, which is convenient for the subsequent transportation of the present invention.

Persons familiar with the art can make various modifications or changes to the above embodiments without departing from the inventive concept of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, but should be the maximum scope of the innovative features mentioned in the claims.
