Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of camera waterproof shells, in particular to a driving component applied to the camera waterproof shell and having a blind installation function. Background Art

[0002] Since the camera lens has many control buttons, when taking underwater photos, the camera is placed in a waterproof housing to protect the camera during normal use underwater. When the photographer enters the underwater photography, he cannot directly operate the lens from the outside. Therefore, it is necessary to set a corresponding driving component on the waterproof housing to indirectly drive and operate the camera.

[0003] The control buttons of some existing cameras are designed as knobs, and the knob switches are usually set to multiple gears, so that different functions are triggered when the knob is turned to different gears; some camera models also have switches set as knobs, and the camera is turned on / off when the knob is at different rotation angles. Therefore, the existing camera waterproof housing is also provided with a drive component for driving the camera knob, but when assembling the existing drive component, it is often necessary to turn the camera knob to a specific angle before the camera can be correctly matched with the drive component of the waterproof housing, which is more troublesome. Secondly, some existing drive components cannot automatically keep the camera knob pressed at all times, so errors or even failures are prone to occur during driving.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to study a new technical solution to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to solve the defects and shortcomings of the above-mentioned prior art, the utility model provides a driving component applied to a camera waterproof housing and having a blind installation function. By setting a driving component with a blind installation function, the alignment step of the camera knob switch is omitted, so that the toggle protrusion of the camera knob switch can cooperate with the driving component of the utility model no matter where it is, which has the advantage of easy installation.

[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] A driving assembly applied to a camera waterproof housing and having a blind installation function, comprising a rotating member, a driving member and a rotating shaft, wherein the rotating member has a mounting groove, the mounting groove is provided with a rotating shaft, the rotating member is installed in the mounting groove through the rotating shaft, and the rotating member can rotate up and down around the rotating shaft; the mounting groove is provided with an elastic reset member for pushing the rotating member to rotate downward around the rotating shaft;

[0008] The rotating shaft is connected to the driving member, and a knob is provided at the outer end of the rotating shaft; the rotating member has a driving groove for adapting to the camera switch, and at least one side of the driving groove has a mounting protrusion extending downward.

[0009] As a preferred solution, the driving member has a limiting groove for preventing the rotating member from excessively rotating downward, and the rotating member has a limiting column adapted to the limiting groove.

[0010] As a preferred solution, there are two mounting protrusions, and the driving groove is formed between the two mounting protrusions.

[0011] As a preferred solution, the driving groove has a guide opening that expands outward toward the installation side.

[0012] As a preferred solution, the rotating sleeve is provided with a retaining spring and a sealing ring.

[0013] As a preferred solution, the rotating shaft is provided with an annular groove for mounting a sealing ring.

[0014] As a preferred solution, there are more than two sealing rings, and correspondingly, there are more than two annular grooves.

[0015] As a preferred solution, the elastic return member is a spring, and the rotating member is provided with a mounting blind hole for mounting the spring.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has obvious advantages and beneficial effects. Specifically, it can be seen from the above technical solution that it is mainly a driving assembly with a blind installation function, which omits the alignment step of the camera knob switch, so that the toggle convex part of the camera knob switch can cooperate with the driving assembly of the utility model no matter where it is, and has the advantage of convenient installation;

[0017] Secondly, by setting the elastic reset part, the rotating part can always maintain an automatic compression state, ensuring the working reliability of the driving component and the protection of the toggle convex part of the camera's knob switch, and can better ensure the accuracy of the operation, which is suitable for popularization and use.

[0031] See attached Figures 1 to 7In the embodiment of the utility model, a driving assembly applied to a camera waterproof housing and having a blind installation function includes a rotating member 10, a driving member 20 and a rotating shaft 30. The rotating member 10 has a mounting groove 11, and the mounting groove 11 is provided with a rotating shaft 12. The rotating member 10 is installed in the mounting groove 11 through the rotating shaft 12, and the rotating member 10 can rotate up and down around the rotating shaft 12; the mounting groove 11 is provided with an elastic reset member 13 for pushing the rotating member 10 to rotate downward around the rotating shaft 12;

[0032] The rotating shaft 30 is connected to the driving member 20, and a knob 31 is provided at the outer end of the rotating shaft 30; the rotating member 10 has a driving groove 14 for adapting to the camera switch, and at least one side of the driving groove 14 has a mounting protrusion 15 extending downward.

[0033] The driving member 20 has a limiting groove 21 to prevent the rotating member 10 from excessively rotating downward, and the rotating member 10 has a limiting column 16 adapted to the limiting groove 21. There are two mounting protrusions 15, and the driving groove 14 is formed (located) between the two mounting protrusions 15.

During installation, the toggle protrusion of the knob switch 41 of the camera 40 is either located in the driving groove 14 under the action of the guide port 141, or is in contact with the installation protrusions 15 on both sides of the driving groove 14.

[0036] In practical applications, the rotating shaft 30 is sleeved with a retaining ring 32 and a sealing ring 33. Specifically, the rotating shaft 30 is provided with an annular groove for installing the sealing ring 33, and the sealing ring 33 is arranged in the annular groove; there are more than two sealing rings 33, and accordingly, there are more than two annular grooves.

[0037] The design focus of the utility model is that it mainly provides a driving component with a blind installation function, which omits the alignment step of the camera knob switch, so that the toggle protrusion of the camera knob switch can cooperate with the driving component of the utility model no matter where it is, and has the advantage of convenient installation; secondly, through the provision of an elastic reset part, the rotating part can always maintain an automatic compression state, ensuring the working reliability of the driving component and the protection of the toggle protrusion of the camera knob switch, and can better ensure the accuracy of the operation, which is suitable for popularization and use.

[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the technical scope of the present invention. Therefore, any slight modifications, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention are still within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
