Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of electronic equipment, in particular to a driving recorder capable of shifting and shooting. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid growth of global car ownership, driving safety is gaining increasing attention. In recent years, dashcams, which can promptly record audio and video data while a vehicle is in motion, have become widely used and popularized.

[0003] Currently, dashcams on the market already have basic audio and video recording capabilities, capable of recording the images and sounds of a vehicle in real time. Furthermore, some high-end dashcams also feature G-SENSOR and GPS tracking capabilities, which can record information such as the vehicle's acceleration, steering, and braking, as well as its driving trajectory. However, existing dashcams still have certain functional and technical limitations. For example, traditional dashcams typically use a fixed lens design, and parameters such as the lens's viewing angle and focal length cannot be adjusted. This design means that the dashcam may not be able to capture sufficient image information in complex driving environments, resulting in incomplete or distorted driving records.

[0004] With the development of technology, dash cams with adjustable lenses have been developed at this stage. The shooting angle is adjusted by rotating the front camera module, the right camera module and the left camera module horizontally or vertically according to the shooting needs. The dash cam with this adjustment method improves the completeness of the picture information to a certain extent, allowing the dash cam to capture as many pictures as possible. However, when facing special road sections and bad weather conditions, it may be necessary to adjust the position of the dash cam. Although the dash cam with this structure can adjust the lens angle, it cannot adjust the position of the lens. Therefore, it is easy for incomplete picture capture to occur in special usage scenarios, which brings trouble to users.

[0005] Therefore, to address this issue, we propose a design solution for a driving recorder with greater flexibility, aiming to solve the problem of incomplete images captured by the lens and improve the performance of the driving recorder. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0035] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0036] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of the technical features being referred to. Thus, a feature identified as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present invention, "plurality" means two or more, unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0037] For ease of description of the first and second directions in the embodiments of this application, the first direction is the left-right direction in the accompanying drawings, and the second direction is the front-back direction in the accompanying drawings. The x-axis arrow direction is referred to as the "right" direction, the y-axis arrow direction is referred to as the "rear" direction, and the z-axis arrow direction is referred to as the "right" direction in the following text. However, in the actual application of this application, this is not limiting.

[0038] With the development of technology, dash cams with adjustable lenses have been developed at this stage. The shooting angle is adjusted by rotating the front camera module, the right camera module and the left camera module horizontally or vertically according to the shooting needs. The dash cam with this adjustment method improves the completeness of the picture information to a certain extent, allowing the dash cam to capture as many pictures as possible. However, when facing special road sections and bad weather conditions, it may be necessary to adjust the position of the dash cam. Although the dash cam with this structure can adjust the lens angle, it cannot adjust the position of the lens. Therefore, it is easy for incomplete picture capture to occur in special usage scenarios, which brings trouble to users.

[0039] Based on this, this embodiment provides a driving recorder 100 capable of shifting and shooting, aiming to solve the problem of incomplete images captured by the lens and improve the performance of the driving recorder 100. Figure 1-4As shown, the driving recorder 100 includes a main camera body 110 and a main camera module 112 and a side camera module 113 respectively installed on the main camera surface 12a and the side camera surface 12b of the driving recorder body 110. It can be understood that in this embodiment, the driving recorder body 110 includes a main camera surface 12a and a side camera surface 12b, and the side camera surfaces 12b are arranged on both sides of the main camera surface 12a, so that there are two side camera surfaces 12b, and two corresponding side camera modules 113 are further arranged; further, the driving recorder 100 also includes a connecting piece 111. The connecting piece in this embodiment 111 is mounted on the side shooting surface 12b, and the side shooting module 113 can rotate horizontally and / or vertically as needed, and can also be detachably connected to the side shooting surface 12b via the connecting piece 111. Furthermore, in another embodiment, the connecting piece 111 can also be mounted on the main shooting surface 12a, and the main shooting module 112 can be detachably connected to the main shooting surface 12a via the connecting piece 111. It can be understood that the main lens 123 is usually the core part of the driving recorder 100, responsible for capturing the road conditions, traffic conditions, and other important driving information in front of the vehicle. It usually has a wide-angle design to capture a wider field of view and ensure that key information during driving is recorded. The performance parameters of the main lens 123, such as aperture size and recording angle, will directly affect the recording effect of the driving recorder 100. For example, the larger the aperture, the better the amount of light entering, and the brighter the night video recording effect will be; and the larger the video recording angle, the wider the field of view, and the more information that can be captured; therefore, the design structure of the main lens 123 in this embodiment is to install the main lens 123 in the main lens housing 122, and then directly assemble the main lens housing 122 to the main shooting surface 12a of the outer shell 121, so that the main lens 123 does not need to be removed from the recorder body 110, as a structural support for stably shooting the road conditions, traffic conditions and other important driving information in front of the vehicle. Therefore, this embodiment only realizes the detachable function of the side shooting module 113 on the side shooting surface 12b through the connecting piece 111, and does not exclude the design method of the main shooting module 112 being detachable from the recorder body 110 on the main shooting surface 12a through the connecting piece 111, which is not limited here.

[0040] According to the above solution, it can be understood that this embodiment connects the main shooting module 112 and / or the side shooting module 113 by providing a connecting piece 111, so that the main shooting module 112 and / or the side shooting module 113 can be removed from the recorder body 110 for use. This structure allows the user not only to adjust the shooting angle of the driving recorder 100 as needed, but also to adjust the position of the lens when facing special road sections and bad weather conditions, so that the main shooting module 112 and / or the side shooting module 113 can capture a more complete picture in special usage scenarios, thereby improving the user experience.

[0041] According to the above solution, specifically, the recorder body 110 includes a housing 121, and the main shooting surface 12a and the side shooting surface 12b are both provided on the housing 121; wherein, the main shooting surface 12a is located on one side of the housing 121 along the first direction, and the side shooting surface 12b is located on at least one side of the housing 121 along the second direction. According to the above solution, it can be seen that the side shooting surfaces 12b in this embodiment are located on both sides of the housing 121 along the second direction, and the main shooting module 112 is installed in the center of the main shooting surface 12a, and the side shooting modules 113 are installed on both sides of the main shooting module 112 along the second direction; further, the main shooting module 112 includes a main shooting surface 12a and a side shooting surface 113. The lens housing 122 and the main lens 123, the main lens 123 is installed in the main lens housing 122, and the main lens housing 122 is engaged with the connecting piece 111 and the main shooting surface 12a; the side shooting module 113 includes a clamping piece 131, a side lens housing 132 and a side lens 133, the side lens 133 is installed in the side lens housing 132, and the side lens housing 132 is engaged with the connecting piece 111 and the side shooting surface 12b, and the side lens housing 132 is clamped in the clamping piece 131 and can be rotated on the clamping piece 131; at the same time, the side lens 133 is usually used to record the driving conditions on both sides of the vehicle, including information such as roads, road conditions, and traffic signs. The side lens 133 enables the driving recorder 100 to record the driving environment of the vehicle more comprehensively, providing the owner with a richer driving record; it is understandable that the side lens shell 132 is clamped on the clamping member 131 and can be rotated on the clamping member 131, and the shooting angle of the side lens 133 can be adjusted in the vertical direction through the rotation. This embodiment limits the rotation angle of the side lens 133 on the clamping member 131 to less than 360 degrees. This embodiment limits the side shooting surface 12b on both sides of the housing 121 to be equipped with a connecting member 111, so that one of the side shooting modules 113 is connected to the corresponding side shooting surface 12b is detachable and fixed, and in other embodiments, the two side shooting surfaces 12b can also be equipped with connecting parts 111, which are not limited here; further, the connecting part 111 includes a first connecting part 141 and a support plate 142, and the first connecting part 141 is provided on one side of the support plate 142, and the side lens shell 132 can be installed on the side of the connecting part 111 located at the first connecting part 141, and the side lens shell 132 can be rotated around the first connecting part 141, and the shooting angle of the side lens 133 can be adjusted in the horizontal direction through the rotation. This embodiment limits the rotation angle of the side lens 133 on the connecting part 111 to less than 360°.

[0042] Preferably, the connecting member 111 further includes a second connecting portion 143, which is provided on the other side of the support plate 142 away from the first connecting portion 141. A T-shaped slot 151 that cooperates with the second connecting portion 143 is provided on the main shooting surface 12a and / or the side shooting surface 12b. Specifically, the first connecting portion 141 includes a conducting portion 211 and a limiting portion 212. The conducting portion 211 is fixedly connected to the support plate 142, and the limiting portion 212 is provided on the other side of the conducting portion 211 away from the support plate 142. The clamping member 131 is provided with a connecting bayonet 221. The conducting portion 211 and the connecting bayonet 221 have a diameter that matches, and the limiting portion 212 matches the inner side wall of the clamping member 131. Furthermore, the second connecting portion 143 includes a first snap-fit ​​plate 231 and a second snap-fit ​​plate 232. The first snap-fit ​​plate 231 is fixedly connected to the support plate 142, and the second snap-fit ​​plate 232 is arranged on the other side of the first snap-fit ​​plate 231 away from the support plate 142. The T-slot 151 includes a first slot 15a and a second slot 15b. The first snap-fit ​​plate 231 cooperates and engages with the first slot 15a, and the second snap-fit ​​plate 232 cooperates and engages with the second slot 15b. By adding a second connecting portion 143 to the support plate 142 and cooperating and engaging with the T-slot 151 on the main shooting surface 12a or the side shooting surface 12b, a stable connection between the side lens housing 132 and the connecting member 111 is achieved. This snap-on connection method not only facilitates installation but also ensures the stability of the side lens housing 132 during driving, preventing blurring or distortion of the image captured by the lens 133 inside the side lens housing 132 due to vibration or bumps. Furthermore, the design of the conductive portion 211 and the limiting portion 212 of the first connecting portion 141 ensures a tighter and more reliable connection between the clamping member 131 and the connecting member 111. The conductive portion 211 is aligned with the diameter of the connecting bayonet 221, ensuring that the clamping member 131 can accurately and smoothly rotate on the first connecting portion 141 through the connecting bayonet 221. The limiting portion 212 is aligned with the inner sidewall of the clamping member 131, further enhancing the stability of the connection and preventing the clamping member 131 from loosening or falling off during driving.

[0043] According to the above solution, optionally, in this embodiment, the conducting portion 211 and the limiting portion 212 are both integrally formed with the support plate 142 . In addition, in this embodiment, the first clamping plate 231 and the second clamping plate 232 are both integrally formed with the support plate 142 .

[0044] Preferably, the recorder body 110 further includes a control board 124 and a storage card 125 installed in the housing 121, and the images captured by the main lens 123 and the side lens 133 are stored through the storage card 125. The control board 124 is provided with a card slot 12a, and the storage card 125 is installed in the card slot 12a. The side lens 133 and the main lens 123 are both connected to the storage card 125; the recorder body 110 further includes a charging wire 126, and the control board 124 is provided with a wiring terminal 127. One end of the charging wire 126 is connected to the wiring terminal 127, and the other end is connected to the main lens 123 or the side lens 133; it can be understood that In this embodiment, there are two connection terminals 127, one of which is used to connect the side lens 133 on the left, and the other is used to connect the side lens 133 on the right. Since the main lens 123 is not designed to be detachable in this embodiment, the connection line of the main lens 123 is directly electrically connected to the control main board 124 from the inside of the recorder body 110, and the two side lenses 133 are respectively connected to the control main board 124 by using two charging wires 126. When the side shooting module 113 is removed from the recorder, the side lens 133 can maintain electrical connection with the control main board 124 to realize the transmission of the side orientation image.

[0045] Optionally, in another embodiment, the main lens 123 may be set as follows: Figure 5 Another structural lens is shown. In this structure, the main lens housing 122 is directly embedded into the outer shell 121 of the recorder body 110, which has better shooting effects, higher picture capture accuracy, and better structural stability.

[0046] To sum up, the present invention provides a dash cam with shiftable shooting function. By setting connecting parts to connect the main shooting module and / or side shooting module, the main shooting module and / or side shooting module can be removed from the recorder body for use. This structure allows the user not only to adjust the shooting angle of the dash cam as needed, but also to adjust the position of the lens when facing special road sections and bad weather conditions, so that the main shooting module and / or side shooting module can capture a more complete picture in special usage scenarios, thereby improving the user experience.
