Detailed Implementation

[0020] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] Please see Figures 1-3 The present invention provides a technical solution: an underwater quad-lens stereo camera, comprising a camera body 1, a display module 3 on one side of the camera body 1, and further comprising: Handle 2, two handles 2 are respectively installed on both sides of the camera body 1; Adjustment device 6, two adjustment devices 6 are respectively installed on one side of the corresponding handle 2. Adjustment device 6 includes support frame 603, support frame 603 is installed on one side of handle 2, and two adjustment plates 601 are driven inside support frame 603, and the two adjustment plates 601 are driven to move to both sides respectively through transmission.

[0022] Furthermore, the adjusting device 6 also includes a double-grooved rod 607, a threaded seat 606, and a support plate 605. The two ends of the double-grooved rod 607 are rotatably connected to one side of the inner wall of the support frame 603, the inner walls of the two threaded seats 606 are threadedly connected to the outer wall of the double-grooved rod 607, and hinge slots are provided on both sides of the thread assembly. One side of the multiple support plates 605 is hinged to the inner wall of the corresponding hinge slot, and the other side of the support plate 605 is hinged to a hinge seat 604. One side of the hinge seat 604 is connected to one side of the corresponding adjusting plate 601.

[0023] Furthermore, the adjustment device 6 also includes a knob 602 and an operation slot 608. The knob 602 is installed on the outer wall of the rotating rod 509, and the operation slot 608 is opened on one side of the support frame 603, and the position of the operation slot 608 corresponds to the position of the knob 602.

[0024] The specific implementation method is as follows: By setting the adjustment device 6, the knob 602 is turned by operating the groove 608, causing the knob 602 to rotate. This causes the knob 602 to drive the double-threaded rod 607 to rotate. The surface of the double-threaded rod 607 has two threaded sections with opposite directions, and the double-threaded rod 607 is threadedly driven by the threaded seat 606. The double-threaded rod 607 drives the two threaded seats 606 to move towards each other through the two threaded sections with opposite directions. The movement of the threaded seats 606 causes one side of the support plate 605 to move. The support plate 605 is hinged to the hinge seat 604, causing the support plate 605 to move the hinge seat 604 outward. In turn, the hinge seat 604 drives the adjustment plates 601 on both sides to move. Thus, the hand grip size is adjusted to meet the needs of people with different hand sizes and improve the user experience. The surface of the knob 602 has an anti-slip groove 504 to prevent slippage when the knob 602 is turned, thus affecting the operation.

[0025] Please see Figures 4-6 A fixing device 4 is installed on one side of the handle 2. The fixing device 4 includes a side block 404, a movable block 407 and a movable plate 406. Multiple side blocks 404 are connected to both sides of the handle 2 respectively, and two side blocks 404 on the same side are provided with movable grooves 405 on opposite sides. The outer walls of multiple movable blocks 407 are slidably connected to the inner walls of the corresponding movable grooves 405, and the movable blocks 407 are embedded with sliding sleeves. One side of each of the two movable plates 406 is connected to one side of the corresponding movable block 407.

[0026] Furthermore, the fixing device 4 also includes a slide rod 409 and a spring 408. The two ends of the two slide rods 409 are respectively connected to one side of the inner wall of the movable groove 405, and the outer wall of the slide rod 409 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding sleeve. Multiple springs 408 are respectively sleeved on the outer wall of the corresponding slide rod 409, and the two ends of the springs 408 are respectively connected to one side of the movable block 407 and one side of the inner wall of the movable groove 405.

[0027] Furthermore, the fixing device 4 also includes a transmission plate 403 and a hinge plate 401. One side of the two transmission plates 403 is hinged to one side of the corresponding moving plate 406, and one side of the two hinge plates 401 is hinged to the other side of the corresponding transmission plate 403. The two hinge plates 401 are provided with the same fixing belt 402.

[0028] The specific implementation method is as follows: By setting a fixing device 4, the fixing belt 402 is moved, causing the fixing belt 402 to drive the hinge plate 401 to move. The hinge plate 401 drives the transmission plate 403 to move, and the transmission plate 403 drives the moving plate 406 to move. During the movement of the moving plate 406, the movable block 407 is moved. When the movable block 407 moves, it compresses the spring 408, forcing the spring 408 to generate a rebound force. The slide rod 409 supports the spring 408 to prevent the spring 408 from bending during compression, which would affect the spring 408. The rebound effect of 08, after the hand is passed through the fixing strap 402 and the fixing strap 402 is released, the movable block 407 is reset by the rebound force of the spring 408. Therefore, the movable block 407 drives the moving plate 406 to reset, the moving plate 406 drives the transmission plate 403 to reset, so that the transmission plate 403 drives the fixing strap 402 to reset through the hinge plate 401. The fixing strap 402 is reset to fit and fix the hand, thereby improving the stability of the grip and preventing the camera body 1 from slipping easily when held with one hand while swimming.

One side of the rack 505 is connected to one side of the inner wall of the mounting groove, and one side of the rack 505 meshes with the outer wall of the gear 508.

[0031] Furthermore, the cleaning device 5 also includes a cleaning roller 502 and a second support block 503. One side of the cleaning roller 502 is connected to the other end of the rotating rod 509, and the outer wall of the cleaning roller 502 is in contact with one side of the display module 3. One side of the second support block 503 is connected to one side of the camera body 1, and a sliding groove 515 is provided on one side of the second support block 503. A sliding block 511 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove 515. A rotating groove is provided in the sliding block 511, and a rotating rod 514 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the rotating groove. One end of the rotating rod 514 is connected to the other side of the cleaning roller 502.

[0032] Furthermore, the cleaning device 5 also includes a connecting groove 510 and a connecting block 512. The connecting groove 510 is formed on one side of the inner wall of the sliding groove 515, and the other side of the connecting groove 510 extends to one side of the second support block 503. The outer wall of the connecting block 512 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the connecting groove 510, and one side of the connecting block 512 is connected to one side of the sliding block 511. The other side of the connecting block 512 is connected to a lever 513.

[0033] The specific implementation method is as follows: By setting up a cleaning device 5, by moving the toggle block 513, the toggle block 513 drives the connecting block 512 to move, the connecting block 512 drives the sliding block 511 to move, the sliding block 511 drives the rotating groove to move, the rotating groove drives the rotating rod 514 to move, the rotating rod 514 drives the cleaning roller 502 to move, and then the cleaning roller 502 moves, driving the rotating rod 509 on the other side to move, the rotating rod 509 drives the gear 508 to move, and the gear 508 meshes with the rack 505 on one side, so that the gear 508 rotates when it moves, thereby driving the rotating rod 509 to rotate, and the rotating rod 509 drives the cleaning roller 502 to rotate, so that the cleaning roller 502 rotates during the movement, thus cleaning the display module 3 and preventing underwater mud or aquatic plants from adhering to the surface of the display module 3 and affecting the shooting operation.

[0034] Working principle: In use, the knob 602 is rotated according to the user's hand size, causing the knob 602 to drive the double-threaded rod 607 to rotate. The double-threaded rod 607 and the threaded seat 606 are driven by a threaded transmission. The double-threaded rod 607, through two threaded sections with opposite directions, drives the two threaded seats 606 to move towards each other. The movement of the threaded seats 606 causes one side of the support plate 605 to move. The support plate 605 drives the hinge seat 604 to move outward. In turn, the hinge seat 604 drives the adjustment on both sides. The plate 601 moves, thus adjusting the hand grip size and improving operating comfort. Then, by moving the fixed belt 402, the fixed belt 402 moves via the hinge plate 401 and the transmission plate 403. The transmission plate 403 drives the moving plate 406 to move. The moving plate 406 compresses the spring 408 via the movable block 407, forcing the spring 408 to generate a restoring force. Then, the hand passes through the fixed belt 402, and the fixed belt 402 is released, causing the movable block 407 to be released by the restoring force of the spring 408. The movable plate 406 is reset, and the movable plate 406 drives the hinge plate 401 to move via the transmission plate 403. The hinge plate 401 drives the fixing belt 402 to reset, thus ensuring that the fixing belt 402 fits and fixes the hand when it resets, further improving the stability of the operation. Finally, when shooting underwater for a long time, the movable block 513 drives the connecting block 512 to move, and the connecting block 512 drives the sliding block 511 to move. The sliding block 511 drives the rotating rod 514 to move via the rotating groove. The rotating rod 514 drives the cleaning roller 502 to move. When the cleaning roller 502 moves, it drives the rotating rod 509 to move. The rotating rod 509 drives the gear 508 to move on one side of the rack 505, thus causing the gear 508 to drive the rotating rod 509 to rotate. The rotating rod 509 drives the cleaning roller 502 to rotate, thereby cleaning the display module 3 by rotating while moving, preventing mud or aquatic organisms from adhering to one side of the display module 3 and affecting the shooting operation.
