[0025] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects solved by the utility model more clear, the utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the utility model and are not used to limit the utility model.
[0026] The miniature camera structure with a hidden switch in this embodiment provides a miniature camera structure that can be easily disassembled by production line workers and later maintenance personnel, and the disassembly structure is hidden from the user.
[0027] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the miniature camera structure with a hidden switch includes a housing, a lens module 20 , and a mounting bracket 30 .
[0028] The housing includes a front housing 11 and a rear housing 12. The top ends of the two sides of the rear housing 12 are provided with snap positions, and the bottom ends of the two sides of the front housing 11 are provided with corresponding buckle positions. The front housing 11 and the rear housing 12 are buckled and connected by snapping the snap positions and buckling positions. After the connection, an internal hollow housing structure is formed, and the hollow structure is a mounting cavity, and the lens module 20 is mounted in the mounting cavity of the housing.
[0029] The top of the housing is provided with an exposure hole 13 for exposing the camera module 20. At least one wave block buckle 14 and a groove 15 are provided at the end.
[0030] The wave buckle 14 is arranged at one end near the top end of the end, and is a cantilever arm structure, that is, one end is fixedly connected to the shell of the shell, and the other end is vacant. Moreover, the wave buckle 14 is an elastic wave buckle 14, which can be elastically deformed when the shell rotates.
[0031] The groove 15 is disposed around the ends of the front shell 11 and the rear shell 12 , and wraps around the outer surfaces of the entire front shell 11 and the rear shell 12 .
[0032] In addition, the diameter of the top end of the shell is larger than the diameter of the bottom end, so that a step shape is formed from the top end to the bottom end.
[0033] The mounting bracket 30 includes a mounting plate 31 and a rotating shaft ring 32 , and the mounting plate 31 and the rotating shaft ring 32 are integrally formed.
[0034] A switch slot 33 is provided at the bottom of the mounting plate 31 , and a switch 34 is provided in the switch slot 33 .
[0035] The inner surface of the rotating shaft ring 32 is evenly distributed with a plurality of corrugated teeth 35. A mounting groove 36 is provided on one side of the corrugated teeth 35. After the end of the housing extends into the rotating shaft ring 32, the wave gear buckle 14 on the housing contacts the corrugated teeth 35 and is rotatably connected.
[0036] A latch tongue 37 is disposed in the mounting groove 36 . The width of the mounting groove 36 is greater than the width of the latch tongue 37 .
[0037] The top end of the latch tongue 37 is higher than the inner side surface of the rotating shaft ring 32 , so that it protrudes upwards and can be engaged with the groove on the outer shell when the outer shell extends into the rotating shaft ring 32 .
[0038] The lower end of the latch tongue 37 is connected to the switch 34 . In the present embodiment, the latch tongue 37 and the switch 34 are integrally formed and made of PC+ABS (ABS engineering plastic). The latch tongue 37 can be deformed when the switch 34 is turned.
[0039] In addition, a bracket sticker 38 is attached to the bottom of the mounting plate 31 , and the bracket sticker 38 is attached and fixed to the bottom of the mounting portion 31 by gluing, and covers the switch slot 33 at the bottom thereof.
[0040] The installation and disassembly process of the miniature camera structure with a hidden switch is as follows:
[0041] The end of the housing extends into the shaft ring 32 of the mounting bracket 20. At this time, one end of the shaft ring 32 abuts against the top and the step connection of the end of the housing, and the groove 15 on the end is also engaged with the tongue 37. The housing and the shaft ring 32 are engaged and connected by the abutment and engagement of the above two positions. Then, the housing and the shaft ring 32 realize the rotation function through the contact and rotation between the wave gear buckle 14 and the wave teeth 35. When the rotation stops, the wave gear buckle 14 can stay between two adjacent wave teeth 35 to maintain the current angle. In addition, since the groove 15 covers the outer surface of the entire housing end, the setting of the groove 15 does not affect the rotation of the housing.
[0042] When it is necessary to disassemble the housing and the rotating shaft ring 32, tear off the bracket sticker 38 at the bottom of the mounting plate 31, and then toggle the switch 34 to one side. At this time, the tongue 37 is deformed to the other side (opposite to the toggling direction), making it lower than the inner surface of the rotating shaft ring 32, and then disengaging from the groove 15, completing the disassembly of the housing and the mounting bracket 30.
[0043] According to the micro camera structure with a hidden switch in the above embodiment, it includes a housing, a lens module and a mounting bracket. The lens module is installed in the housing, one end of the housing extends into the mounting bracket and is rotatably connected to the mounting bracket. Among them, a groove is provided on the housing, a mounting groove is provided in the mounting bracket, a tongue is provided in the mounting groove, the groove is engaged with the tongue, and the lower end of the tongue is connected with a switch, and the lower end of the mounting bracket is also provided with a bracket sticker, and the bracket sticker covers the switch. Based on the micro camera structure, the housing and the mounting bracket are fixed together by the engagement of the groove and the tongue, so as to prevent the user from disassembling the housing and the mounting bracket by himself. On the other hand, the lower end of the tongue is also connected with a switch, and the tongue can be driven by the switch to make the tongue leave the groove and disassemble the housing and the mounting bracket, but the switch is covered by the bracket sticker at the bottom of the mounting bracket, so the switch is not open to the user. Therefore, the micro camera structure ensures the maintainability of the product on the production line and at the back end of the product while limiting the product size and production cost and not using screws, while also ensuring that the product is not easily disassembled in the hands of users to avoid damage.
[0044] In addition, the top of the tongue is higher than the inner surface of the mounting bracket and can protrude upward so that it can be engaged in the groove to ensure that the housing and the mounting bracket are fixed together. Moreover, the tongue is a plastic tongue, which can be deformed under the drive of the switch, thereby separating from the groove, making it convenient for maintenance personnel to perform maintenance later.
[0045] In addition, the width of the mounting groove is greater than the width of the latch tongue, and this width setting provides deformation space for the latch tongue.
[0046] In addition, the diameter of the end of the shell is smaller than the diameter of the top of the shell, and then the end extends into the mounting bracket, and one end of the mounting bracket abuts against the connection between the top and the end of the shell. Through the abutment between the bracket and the shell, on the basis of the engagement of the groove and the tongue, the stability of the connection between the shell and the mounting bracket is further guaranteed, preventing the shell from detaching from the mounting bracket.
[0047] In addition, a wave buckle is provided at the end of the housing, and wave teeth are provided on the inner side of the mounting bracket, and the housing and the mounting bracket are connected in rotation by means of the rotational contact between the wave buckle and the wave teeth. Furthermore, the groove is arranged around the outer surface of the end, so that the grooves are evenly distributed on the surface of the end, thereby preventing the grooves from being separated from the tongue during the rotation of the housing.
[0048] Moreover, the bracket sticker is connected to the bottom of the mounting bracket by gluing, so that the bracket sticker can be tightly fixed to the bottom of the mounting bracket, covering the position of the switch and preventing the switch position from being exposed to the user.
[0049] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications to the present application without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application. Thus, if these modifications and variations of the present application fall within the scope of the claims of the present application and the equivalent technology, the present application is also intended to include these modifications and variations.
