[0036] The embodiment of the utility model discloses a camera, which can provide road lighting when shooting in poor light environment such as night, especially when shooting outdoors, thereby improving user experience.

[0037] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0038] In the process of implementing this application, the applicant found that most conventional cameras are not equipped with lighting. Even if they are equipped with lighting, they are all installed in front of the camera to illuminate the front, so they cannot illuminate the road surface under the user's feet, making it inconvenient for the user to observe the road conditions.

[0039] In some embodiments, see Figure 1-Figure 2 The camera provided by the utility model includes an imaging module 1, a handle 2 and a lighting lamp 6. Among them, the handle 2 is used for the user to hold and use. That is, the camera is a handheld device, which can be conveniently held by the user, and the shape of the handle 2 can be designed according to the user's holding needs. The imaging module 1 is arranged at the top of the handle 2 for image acquisition. And the lens of the imaging module 1 faces the front side of the handle 2. The lighting lamp 6 is arranged at the bottom end of the handle 2, and is used to illuminate at least the field of view below the camera when the handheld camera is used normally. It can be understood that the bottom end of the handle 2 includes both the bottom surface of the handle 2 and the bottom end of any side wall of the handle 2.

[0040] By using the camera provided in the present application and arranging a lighting lamp 6 at the bottom end of the handle 2, it is possible to illuminate at least the field of view below the camera when the user holds the handle 2 for normal shooting. Therefore, when the camera is shooting in poorly lit environments such as at night, especially when shooting outdoors, it is possible to provide the user with road surface lighting under his feet, thereby facilitating the user to observe the road surface and improving the user's experience.

[0041] In some embodiments, the imaging module 1 is disposed at the top of the handle 2, and the lens of the imaging module 1 faces the front side of the handle 2. The lighting lamp 6 is disposed at the bottom of the handle 2, and the lighting lamp 6 can at least illuminate the direction from the top to the bottom of the handle 2. Since the camera is usually shot forward when it is normally handheld, through the above arrangement, when the user normally holds the camera and shoots forward, the lighting lamp 6 can illuminate the field of view below the camera.

[0042] In some embodiments, the bottom surface of the handle 2 is provided with a mounting hole 23, and the illuminating lamp 6 is fixedly arranged in the mounting hole 23. In this embodiment, the illuminating lamp 6 is fixedly installed, that is, it is fixed to the handle 2 and cannot move. By providing the mounting hole 23 on the bottom surface of the handle 2, on the one hand, it is convenient to install the illuminating lamp 6, and on the other hand, the illuminating direction of the illuminating lamp 6 is directed toward the bottom surface, thereby meeting the lighting requirements of the road surface when the camera is used. As set above, the structure is simple and the assembly is convenient.

[0043] In some embodiments, the illuminating lamp 6 is rotatably arranged on the handle 2, and a locking component cooperating with the illuminating lamp 6 is arranged on the handle 2 to lock the illuminating lamp 6 at different angles relative to the axial direction of the imaging module 1. The difference between this embodiment and the above-mentioned embodiment is that the illuminating lamp 6 in this embodiment is rotatably installed. When in use, the user can rotate the illuminating lamp 6 according to different lighting positions to illuminate the target area. For example, when the user holds the handle 2 to shoot forward with the imaging module 1, the illuminating lamp 6 can be rotated to illuminate downward to illuminate the road surface; or the illuminating lamp 6 can be rotated to face forward, so that the illuminating lamp 6 can illuminate forward. It can be understood that the rotation range of the illuminating lamp 6 can be set as needed, and no specific limitation is made here. A locking component is arranged in cooperation with the illuminating lamp 6. After the user rotates the illuminating lamp 6 to a suitable angle as needed, the locking component can lock the illuminating lamp 6 at the current angle, so that the user does not need to continue to act on the illuminating lamp 6, and the illuminating lamp 6 can be kept in the adjusted position, which further facilitates the operation.

[0044] In some embodiments, the locking component is a damping pad disposed between the illuminating lamp 6 and the handle 2. When the user rotates the illuminating lamp 6, the damping force of the damping pad on the illuminating lamp 6 is overcome. When the illuminating lamp 6 is adjusted to the right position, the damping force of the damping pad on the illuminating lamp 6 is utilized to keep the illuminating lamp 6 at the current angle. The use of the damping pad in the locking component can realize continuous adjustment of the rotation angle of the illuminating lamp 6, so that the angle adjustment accuracy is higher. In other embodiments, the locking component can also be a plurality of sets of clamping structures disposed between the illuminating lamp 6 and the handle 2.

[0045] In some embodiments, a mounting groove is provided at the edge of the bottom end of the handle 2 facing the lens side of the imaging module 1, and the illuminating lamp 6 is rotatably arranged in the mounting groove. That is, the illuminating lamp 6 is rotatably installed at an edge of the handle 2, so that the illuminating lamp 6 can be rotated in a larger range, such as a rotation range greater than 180 degrees, to meet more diverse lighting needs.

[0046] In some embodiments, at least two mounting holes 23 are provided on the handle 2, and the illuminating lamp 6 is detachably provided in the corresponding mounting holes 23, and one of the at least two mounting holes 23 is provided on the bottom surface of the handle 2, and the other is provided on the side of the handle 2 facing the lens 122 of the imaging module 1. The above embodiments illustrate that the illuminating lamp 6 can realize lighting at different angles by rotating the installation. In this embodiment, by respectively providing mounting holes 23 at different positions on the handle 2, the illuminating lamp 6 can be optionally detachably connected with different mounting holes 23, and the user can install the illuminating lamp 6 in the corresponding mounting hole 23 according to the lighting needs. For example, when lighting forward, the illuminating lamp 6 is installed in the mounting hole 23 on the side of the handle 2 facing the lens 122; when road lighting is required, the illuminating lamp 6 is installed in the mounting hole 23 on the bottom surface of the handle 2. According to the needs, a illuminating lamp 6 can be provided corresponding to different mounting holes 23, and the user can selectively install the illuminating lamp 6 in different mounting holes 23. In other embodiments, at least two lighting lamps 6 are provided, that is, the lighting lamps 6 are respectively arranged corresponding to the mounting holes 23. The user can choose to detachably install each lighting lamp 6 in the corresponding mounting hole 23 or remove it from the mounting hole 23, which can also achieve the above-mentioned effect of selecting to set the lighting lamp 6 according to lighting needs.

[0047] In some embodiments, dust covers are provided in cooperation with each mounting hole 23, and each dust cover is detachably connected to the corresponding mounting hole 23 to close the opening of the mounting hole 23. For the mounting hole 23 where the illuminating lamp 6 is not installed, the dust cover can be installed on the mounting hole 23 to close the opening, thereby preventing liquid or dust from entering the mounting hole 23, avoiding the malfunction caused by the same, and improving the reliability of the camera.

[0048] In some embodiments, the angle between the axis of the imaging module 1 and the axis of the illuminator 6 is greater than 90 degrees and less than 180 degrees. Since cameras are widely used for outdoor operations at night, they are sometimes shot at an angle upward to shoot trees and other environments. Therefore, the angle between the axis of the imaging module 1 and the axis of the illuminator 6 is set to be greater than 90 degrees and less than 180 degrees. When the user holds the handle 2 and shoots obliquely upward, the illuminator 6 can just illuminate the field of view below the camera, that is, the road surface is illuminated, which is convenient for the user to observe the road surface while shooting obliquely upward, thereby improving the user's experience.

[0049] In some embodiments, the lighting lamp 6 includes an LED lamp or a laser lamp. Ordinary LED lamps are low-cost, and because their light-emitting principle is different from that of lasers, they can be used in areas or environments that have legal requirements for laser product safety standards. Laser lamps are small in size and have a long range. Under the same power, laser lamps can provide better lighting effects.

[0050] In some embodiments, the camera further includes a display 3, which is electrically connected to the imaging module 1 and is used to receive and display the image captured by the imaging module 1. By arranging the display 3 on the handle 2, that is, the camera has an external display 3 to display the image, so as to facilitate the user's observation. The user can adjust the distance and angle of the display according to the observation habit, and it is not easy to cause eye fatigue even if it is used for a long time.

[0051] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the display 3 can be movably arranged on the handle 2, and the display 3 can be moved to an open state and a closed state. In the closed state, the screen of the display 3 is attached to the handle 2, which is convenient for carrying and can protect the screen of the display 3. It can be understood that the screen here is attached to the handle 2, including the screen body that displays the image being attached to the handle 2, such as the LED screen body being attached to the handle 2, and the screen shell around the screen body being attached to the handle 2. In the open state, the screen of the display 3 leaves the handle 2 and can be rotated to face the user for easy observation. Specifically, the screen can be rotated to the opposite and the same direction as the lens of the imaging module 1, so that when the user shoots the front picture or takes a selfie, the collected image can be conveniently observed through the display 3. In summary, the display is movably connected to the handle, and the user can adjust the position of the display according to different shooting needs, and the use is more flexible and diverse. In addition, when it is not necessary to observe the image, the display 3 can be moved to the closed state to protect the screen, while reducing the overall volume of the camera, making it easier to carry the camera.

[0052] In some embodiments, the display 3 is connected to one side of the handle 2 and can rotate relative to the handle 2 in a first direction and a second direction; when the display 3 rotates relative to the handle 2 in the first direction to be in an open state, it can continue to rotate in the second direction until the screen faces the user. In this embodiment, the display 3 can rotate around the first direction and the second direction respectively, so that the range of movement of the display 3 is larger to meet different observation needs in a wider range. At the same time, it is convenient for the display 3 and the handle 2 to occupy a smaller volume when closed, so as to facilitate carrying and storage.

[0053] Specifically, the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction, which facilitates the setting of the rotating connection structure and the adjustment of the rotation state of the display 3. Furthermore, the first direction is parallel to the optical axis direction of the imaging module 1, and the second direction is perpendicular to the optical axis direction of the imaging module 1.

[0054] In some embodiments, see Figure 5The display 3 is connected to the handle 2 via a screen shaft 31. The screen shaft 31 may be a general part, which may include a revolving pair. One end of the screen shaft 31 is fixedly connected to the handle 2 via a conventional connection method such as a bolt, and the other end is connected to the display screen, so that the display 3 can be opened and closed via the screen shaft 31 and can rotate along the axial direction of the screen shaft 31.

[0055] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 The handle 2 includes a mounting portion 21 and a gripping portion 22. The mounting portion 21 is arranged at the top of the gripping portion 22, and the imaging module 1 is arranged at the front end of the mounting portion 21. The gripping portion 22 is used for the user to hold. In the case where the camera is provided with a display 3, the display 3 is arranged at one side of the mounting portion 21. It can be understood that the mounting portion 21 and the gripping portion 22 can be either an integrated structure or a split structure connected by a conventional connection method. The mounting portion 21 is used to install the imaging module 1, and its specific structure can be set accordingly according to the structure of the imaging module 1 and the connection method between the two, which is not specifically limited here. The mounting portion 21 is arranged at the top of the gripping portion 22, and the imaging module 1 is arranged at the front end of the mounting portion 21, that is, the imaging module 1 is arranged at the top front end of the camera. The display 3 is arranged at one side of the mounting portion 21. In the case where the display 3 is connected to the handle 2 through the screen shaft 31, the screen shaft 31 can be arranged on the left or right side of the mounting portion 21, and one end of the display 3 is specifically connected to the screen shaft 31. The grip portion 22 is used for the user to hold, and specifically the side wall of the grip portion 22 is used for the user to hold, so that when the user holds the grip portion 22 vertically, the imaging module 1 can shoot forward or backward, which is convenient for operation. It can be understood that the forward mentioned here and below includes the forward direction and the oblique forward direction, such as the oblique front and upward direction, etc.; the backward mentioned here and below includes the backward direction and the oblique rear direction.

[0056] It can be understood that in the present application, the lighting lamp 6 is arranged at the bottom end of the handle 2, which includes both the lighting lamp 6 being arranged at the bottom end of the gripping portion 22 and the lighting lamp 6 being arranged at the bottom end of the mounting portion 21.

[0057] In some embodiments, see Figure 6-Figure 7 The imaging module 1 includes an imaging core 12 and a mounting assembly 11. The imaging core 12 is used for image detection; the mounting assembly 11 is used to mount the imaging core 12 and mount the imaging module 1 on the handle 2. By setting the mounting assembly 11, it is convenient to mount the imaging core 12 on the handle 2. There is no need to set a connecting structure that matches the handle 2 on the imaging core 12, and by connecting with the mounting assembly 11, it is convenient to connect imaging cores 12 of different specifications to handles 2 of the same specifications. Please refer to Figure 8The imaging movement 12 specifically includes a lens 122 and a movement body 121. The movement body 121 is used to process the light from the lens 122 to generate image data and send it to the display 3 to display the image. For the specific principle of generating an image, please refer to the conventional movement, which will not be repeated here.

[0058] In some embodiments, the imaging module 1 further includes a focus ring 123 , the inner wall surface of the focus ring 123 clamps the lens 122 , and the rotation of the focus ring 123 drives the lens 122 to rotate to adjust the focal length of the lens 122 .

[0059] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 The camera further includes a laser pointer 5, which is disposed on the handle 2. The laser pointer 5 has a laser emission direction consistent with the lens direction of the imaging module 1, and the optical axis of the laser pointer 5 is parallel to the optical axis of the imaging module 1. The laser pointer 5 is a device that can emit a laser to project a light spot or a line of light to an object. By setting the laser pointer 5, the shooting position of the imaging module 1 can be intuitively indicated, that is, through the prompting effect of the laser pointer 5, the user can quickly and accurately lock the shooting target, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the camera shooting.

[0060] In some embodiments, see Figure 1-Figure 3 The camera is provided with a lighting lamp 6 and / or a laser pointer 5, and the handle 2 is provided with a lighting lamp switch 61 electrically connected to the lighting lamp 6, and / or an indicator switch 51 electrically connected to the laser pointer 5. Specifically, the indicator switch 51 is provided on the same side as the laser pointer 5, such as provided on the front side wall of the handle 2, and the index finger of the user can conveniently operate the indicator switch 51 when the user is holding the handle. The lighting lamp switch 61 is provided on a side wall of the handle 2 opposite to the lens of the imaging module 1, such as provided below the main switch 8, and the thumb of the user can conveniently operate the lighting lamp switch 61 when the user is holding the handle.

[0061] In some embodiments, see Figure 1-Figure 3 The bottom surface of the handle 2 is provided with a standard threaded hole 4, which can be specifically provided on the bottom surface of the grip portion 22. The standard threaded hole 4 can specifically be a 1 / 4 threaded hole. The threaded hole of standard size can be assembled with a tripod bracket to fix the entire camera device to the tripod bracket. Of course, the standard threaded hole 4 can also be connected to other accessories such as a hand-held rod.

[0062] In some embodiments, see Figure 1-Figure 3A main switch 8 is provided on a side wall of the handle 2 opposite to the lens 122 of the imaging module 1, and can be specifically provided on the rear side wall of the grip portion 22. The main switch 8 is used to control the opening and closing of the camera. By providing the main switch 8, it is convenient to open and close the camera. The main switch 8 is provided on the side wall of the handle 2 opposite to the lens, and the user can conveniently operate the main switch 8 with his thumb when holding the handle.

[0063] In some embodiments, see Figure 1-Figure 3 A battery compartment 9 is provided in the handle 2, which can be specifically provided in the gripping portion 22. The battery compartment is used to install a battery, and the battery is electrically connected to the display 3 and the imaging module 1 respectively. The battery supplies power to the display 3 and the imaging module 1. The battery is specifically a rechargeable battery for recycling. In the case where the camera is provided with an illumination lamp 6 and a laser pointer 5, the battery can also supply power to the illumination lamp 6 and the laser pointer 5. In the case where the camera is provided with a main switch 8, the main switch 8 can be connected to the battery to control the on and off of the power.

[0064] Furthermore, the charging port 91 of the battery compartment 9 can be preferably arranged on a side wall facing the same direction as the handle 2 and the lens 122 of the imaging module 1. The battery can be charged through the charging port 91, and the charging port 91 is arranged as above, so that when the lens 122 of the camera is placed on the desktop facing upward or to one side, the charging port 91 can be well exposed for convenient charging.

[0065] In some embodiments, see Figure 1-Figure 3 , a mounting seat 7 is provided on the handle 2, and the mounting seat 7 is used to detachably connect external accessories; specifically, the mounting seat 7 can be provided on the side wall of the mounting portion 21 of the handle 2. It can be understood that the mounting seat 7 and the handle 2 can be either an integrated structure or a split structure connected by a conventional connection method. By providing the mounting seat 7 on the handle 2, external accessories can be connected. As configured above, the camera can be equipped with other accessories as needed to meet corresponding shooting requirements, further improving the user experience. For example, laser ranging equipment, indication equipment, fill light and other accessories can be connected through the mounting seat 7 to perform laser ranging, indication, fill light, etc. while capturing images.

[0066] In some embodiments, see Figure 8, the imaging module 1 is arranged at the top of the handle 2, and the angle between the axial direction of the imaging module 1 and the handle 2 is in the range of 91 degrees to 150 degrees, that is, ∠α in the figure. Then when the handle 2 is in the vertical direction, the angle between the imaging module 1 and the horizontal plane is in the range of 1 degree to 60 degrees. It can be understood that the angle between the axial direction of the imaging module 1 and the handle 2 refers to the angle between the center line of the user holding the handle 2 and the axial direction of the imaging module 1. When the handle 2 is in a regular shape, it is the angle between the axial direction of the imaging module 1 and the center line of the handle 2. Because the human body is usually less comfortable when holding similar equipment, and a certain tilt is required to improve the comfort. Therefore, in this embodiment, the angle between the imaging module 1 and the handle 2 is set within the above range, and the user can tilt the handle 2 and make the imaging module 1 shoot forward, which is more ergonomically designed and improves the user experience. In addition, cameras are widely used in outdoor operations at night, and there is a shooting angle that is obliquely upward to shoot environments such as trees. Therefore, the angle between the axis of the lens 122 of the imaging module 1 and the handle 2 is set to 91 degrees to 150 degrees, and the user can shoot obliquely upward by holding the handle 2, which is easy to operate.

[0067] In some embodiments, the angle between the axial direction of the imaging module 1 and the handle 2 ranges from 93 degrees to 120 degrees. When the handle 2 is in the vertical direction, the angle between the imaging module 1 and the horizontal plane ranges from 3 degrees to 30 degrees. The above arrangement is more in line with the holding habits of most people, and the grip feels good to enhance the user experience. Specifically, the angle between the axial direction of the imaging module 1 and the handle 2 can be 93 degrees, 95 degrees, 100 degrees, 105 degrees, 110 degrees or 120 degrees, and correspondingly, when the handle 2 is in the vertical direction, the angle between the imaging module 1 and the horizontal plane ranges from 3 degrees, 5 degrees, 10 degrees, 15 degrees, 20 degrees or 30 degrees.

[0068] In some embodiments, the imaging module 1 is an infrared imaging module. With the infrared imaging module, the camera can be used in poor light environments such as at night.

[0069] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, and each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments. The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referenced to each other.
