Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of camera technology, and in particular to an external battery-powered camera with built-in protection and its operating method. 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. In modern society, there are many devices that can record images, and they all have the characteristics of a camera, such as medical imaging equipment and astronomical observation equipment. The light reflected from the subject passes through the camera lens (viewfinder) and the shutter, which controls the exposure, and is focused. The subject forms a latent image on the photosensitive material in the dark box. After processing (i.e., developing and fixing), a permanent image is formed.

[0003] Current cameras typically assemble their cameras and batteries as follows: a battery compartment is located on the camera body, with a door at the compartment's entrance. The door is opened, the battery is inserted, and then the door is closed. The existing door is usually connected to the camera body at one end via a pin, allowing it to flip. The other end has a latch that engages with a slot at the battery compartment opening to secure the door. The battery is placed into the compartment, and then the door is pressed into place to secure it. Removing the battery involves opening the door, holding the camera firmly, and then gently shaking the camera up and down to empty the battery. This process is prone to bumping the battery, and even catching it with the other hand can cause it to fall and be damaged.

[0004] To address these issues, this invention proposes an external battery-powered camera with built-in protection and its operating method. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an external battery-powered camera with built-in protection and its operating method to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0008] Preferably, the protective component further includes a connecting plate, one end face of which is arc-shaped, and one end of the connecting plate is connected to the support strip via a support pin. The support strips are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the battery compartment cover, and two sets are symmetrically arranged, with a receiving groove formed between the two sets of symmetrically arranged support strips. A limiting block is also fixedly installed on the inner wall of the battery compartment cover. This limiting block is used to provide a limiting function for the connecting plate.

[0009] Preferably, a mating slot is provided on the end face of one end of the connecting plate, which is used to connect the heat sink assembly.

[0010] Preferably, the heat sink assembly includes a heat sink body and a connector; a connector is fixedly provided at one end of the heat sink body, and the connector is adapted to be inserted into a connector slot at one end of the connecting plate to provide a connection between the connecting plate and the heat sink body.

[0020] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1-10 An external battery-powered camera with built-in protection includes a camera body 1 and a display screen 2 located on the front side of the camera body 1. A camera lens 3 is located on the back side of the camera body 1. A battery storage compartment 4 is located on the bottom side of the camera body 1, and a battery body 5 is inserted into the battery storage compartment 4. A battery compartment cover 6 is connected to one end of the opening of the battery storage compartment 4 by a pin, and a positioning slot 41 is located at the other end of the opening of the battery storage compartment 4. A positioning buckle 61 is located at one end of the battery compartment cover 6, and the positioning buckle 61 is adapted to engage with the positioning slot 41 to fix the battery compartment cover 6. The protection of the battery body 5 is achieved by a protective component installed on the battery compartment cover 6. This protective component includes a heat sink assembly. When the battery body 5 is removed, the heat sink assembly provides a limiting and blocking protection for one end of the battery body 5. The heat sink assembly also provides heat dissipation protection when the battery body 5 is in use.

[0022] This design utilizes a heat sink 801 within its protective components. Firstly, during maintenance tasks such as disassembly and replacement of the battery body 5 (i.e., after the battery compartment cover 6 is opened and the camera body 1 is shaken up and down to empty the battery body 5), the heat sink 801, located inside the battery compartment cover 6 and connected to the connecting plate 703, allows for a flip-up mechanism. The heat sink 801 provides a limiting and blocking effect on the battery body 5, preventing it from slipping and causing impacts after being emptied. Secondly, during installation and use of the battery body 5, the heat sink 801 also provides effective heat dissipation, thus offering thermal protection.

[0023] According to the appendix Figure 6 and attached Figure 9 As shown, the protective assembly also includes a connecting plate 703. One end face of the connecting plate 703 is arc-shaped, and one end of the connecting plate 703 is connected to the support strip 701 via a support pin 704. The support strip 701 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the battery compartment cover 6, and two sets are symmetrically arranged, forming a receiving groove between the two sets of symmetrically arranged support strips 701. This receiving groove is used to place the heat sink body 801, that is, after the battery body 5 is inserted into the battery storage compartment 4, the battery compartment cover 6 is used to seal the opening of the battery storage compartment 4, so that the positioning buckle 61 at the end of the battery compartment cover 6 is engaged with the opening of the battery storage compartment 4. In the positioning slot 41, the heat sink body 801 inside the battery compartment cover 6, which is currently in the installation state, will be in the receiving groove. When it is necessary to disassemble the battery body 5, the battery compartment cover 6 must first be opened, and at the same time, the heat sink body 801 in the receiving groove should be taken out and flipped over until the heat sink body 801 is below the opening of the battery storage compartment 4, that is, below the battery body 5. At this time, the heat sink body 801 here is equivalent to a baffle, that is, when the battery body 5 is poured out by shaking it up and down, it provides a limit to prevent the battery body 5 from slipping down and causing a collision.

[0024] On the one hand, a limiting block 702 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the battery compartment cover 6. The limiting block 702 is used to provide a limiting function for the connecting plate 703, that is, to provide a blocking effect for the heat sink body 801 after it is flipped over, so as to ensure that the heat sink body 801 can play a blocking effect for the falling battery body 5. After the battery body 5 is poured out, there is no need to worry about it sliding directly. When one end of the battery body 5 contacts the heat sink body 801 and is blocked, part of the battery body 5 will still be in the battery storage compartment 4. That is, the battery body 5 in the battery storage compartment 4 and the heat sink body 801 work together to provide a falling protection for the battery body 5.

[0025] On the other hand, regarding the design of the heat sink body 801, compared to directly tilting the camera body 1 up and down to pour out the battery body 5, even if the battery body 5 is caught by one hand, it is easy for the battery body 5 to slip out of the palm, which will still cause the problem of slipping and bumping.

[0026] Combined with the appendix Figure 7-8 As shown, after the heat sink body 801 provides a protective barrier for the battery body 5, the battery body 5 needs to be removed. However, the heat sink body 801 will obstruct the removal of the battery body 5. Therefore, the heat sink body 801 needs to be disassembled, i.e., it can be removed by pulling the heat sink body 801 outwards. At this time, the obstruction to the battery body 5 will be removed, and then the battery body 5 can be removed. A docking slot 705 is also provided on one end face of the connecting plate 703. The docking slot 705 is used to connect the heat sink assembly. The heat sink assembly includes the heat sink body 801 and the docking plug 802. One end of component 1 is fixedly provided with a connector 802, which is adapted to be inserted into a connector slot 705 at one end of the connecting plate 703 to provide a connection between the connecting plate 703 and the heat sink body 801. That is, for the installation and use of the heat sink body 801, the heat sink body 801 is installed by inserting the connector 802 at one end into the connector slot 705. The purpose of this is not only to remove the battery body 5, but also to allow for quick disassembly, replacement and maintenance later. After the battery body 5 is removed, the heat sink body 801 is then installed, that is, connected by inserting the connector 802 into the connector slot 705.

[0027] After the battery body 5 is inserted into the battery storage compartment 4, during use, the heat dissipation plate body 801 provided in this solution can also provide heat dissipation protection. That is, for the installation and use of the battery body 5, it is inserted into the battery storage compartment 4 on the bottom side of the camera body 1, and then the battery compartment cover 6 is pressed into the compartment opening of the battery storage compartment 4 to limit the battery body 5. During this process, the heat dissipation plate body 801 needs to be in the receiving groove between the support strips 701. When the battery compartment cover 6 is pressed into the compartment opening of the battery storage compartment 4, the heat dissipation plate body 801 in the receiving groove will also contact the end of the battery body 5; finally, the battery compartment cover 6 is pressed tightly.

[0028] Combined with appendix Figure 10 As shown, an inner cavity 901 is provided in the heat sink body 801, and an auxiliary pipe head 902 is provided on one side of the heat sink body 801. The auxiliary pipe head 902 is connected to the inner cavity 901 in the heat sink body 801, and the auxiliary pipe head 902 is arranged in a straight line at equal intervals on the surface of the heat sink body 801, and there are two sets of them. The heat sink body 801 provides a heat dissipation protection effect for the heat generated by the battery body 5, so as to avoid the battery body from overheating during operation and affecting its performance.

[0029] To further improve its heat dissipation and protection effect, combined with the attached Figure 2 Appendix Figure 8 and attached Figure 10 As shown, this solution also includes an auxiliary through groove 62 in the battery compartment cover 6. This auxiliary through groove 62 is arranged in a straight line at equal intervals, and there are two sets of it. The purpose of this auxiliary through groove 62 is to cooperate with the auxiliary pipe head 902 provided on the surface of the heat sink body 801. That is, when the heat sink body 801 is in the receiving groove, the auxiliary pipe head 902 provided on the surface of the heat sink body 801 will be in the auxiliary through groove 62 on the battery compartment cover 6. On the one hand, the auxiliary pipe head 902 provided on the surface of the heat sink body 801... The auxiliary pipe head 902 on the surface can contact the outside, which means it can better conduct heat from the heat sink body 801 to the outside, resulting in better heat dissipation efficiency. Furthermore, this design includes an inner cavity 901 within the heat sink body 801, which is connected to the auxiliary pipe head 902. This allows external gas to enter through the exposed auxiliary pipe head 902 and then fill the inner cavity 901 within the heat sink body 801, effectively improving heat conduction. Figure 2 As shown, the length of the auxiliary channel 62 in the battery compartment cover 6 is greater than the diameter of the auxiliary tube head 902. Since the heat sink body 801 is rotated, when the heat sink body 801 is placed into the receiving groove, it ensures that the auxiliary tube head 902 can smoothly enter the auxiliary channel 62.

[0030] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
