[0025] Reference Figure 1-4 The figure shows a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
[0026] The camera bracket installed inside the helmet includes a frame 100 for installing the camera and a fixing structure, wherein the fixing structure is rotatably connected to the frame and fixed inside the helmet, thereby fixing the frame 100 inside the helmet.
[0027] When in use, the camera can be fixed on the frame 100 in a variety of ways, and the frame 100 is rotatably connected to the clamp. When the clamp is in a fixed state, the frame 100 can rotate relative to the clamp, driving the camera to rotate synchronously.
[0028] A connecting structure is provided between the fixed structure and the frame 100, which limits the frame 100 to swing within a set range relative to the fixed structure. That is to say, the frame 100 can also swing relative to the fixed structure. Under the limitation of the connecting structure, the swing angle between the frame 100 and the fixed structure is limited and swings within the set range.
[0029] The camera bracket provided above is installed inside the helmet, and the camera can be installed on the frame 100. The fixing structure is fixedly connected to the inside of the helmet, so that the entire camera bracket is installed inside the helmet, thereby realizing the installation of the camera inside the helmet, avoiding the camera's shooting field of view being blocked on rainy days and avoiding the camera being interfered with by external objects.
[0030] Secondly, the frame 100 can rotate relative to the fixed structure, so that the position of the camera can be rotated and adjusted. Through the connecting structure, the frame 100 can swing relative to the fixed structure and swing within a set range, thereby realizing the swing adjustment of the camera within a limited range.
[0031] In this embodiment, the fixing structure includes a clamp that is rotatably connected to the frame 100 and is fixed inside the helmet by clamping. In this way, the clamp is installed inside the helmet by clamping, and the fixing operation is convenient.
[0032] Alternatively, as another embodiment, the fixing structure may be fixed inside the helmet by insertion, or other diverse methods may be used, as long as it can be fixedly installed inside the helmet and connected to the structure inside the helmet to achieve fixed installation.
[0033] In this embodiment, the chuck includes two elastically deformable clips 400 that swing toward or away from each other, with a clamping area defined between the two clips 400. The elastically deformable clips 400 on the chuck, with a clamping area 402 defined between the two clips 400, facilitate the installation and fixation of the camera bracket by utilizing the opposing clamping of the two clips 400. This allows for easy operation and a variety of installation methods, thereby achieving secure camera installation.
[0034] The clips 400 can swing, and when the clips 400 swing through elastic deformation, an elastic force is generated to drive the clips 400 to return to the original position. When the two clips 400 swing toward each other, the clamping area 402 becomes smaller. When the two clips 400 swing away from each other, the clamping area 402 increases, and the clips 400 generate a clamping force due to the swinging toward each other, thereby enabling the two clips 400 to clamp the component for fixation.
[0035] In actual use, the camera does not need to be set on the top or bottom of the helmet. The camera bracket can be directly installed and fixed inside the helmet, and the two clips 400 on the clamp are directly used to clamp it on the protective layer inside the helmet, so that the camera can be arranged inside the helmet without being exposed on the outside of the helmet.
[0036] In this embodiment, the chuck includes a base 300, and the connecting structure is arranged between the base 300 and the frame 100. There is a swinging interval between the base 300 and the frame 100. By setting the base 300, the connection between the joint and the frame 100 is facilitated, and there is a swinging interval between the base 300 and the frame 100. By setting the size of the swinging interval, the setting range of the swing of the frame 100 relative to the chuck can be adjusted. When the swinging interval is larger, the setting range of the swing is larger, that is, the swing range is large. When the swinging interval is smaller, the setting range of the swing is smaller, that is, the swing range is small.
[0037] The clamping head includes a fixing piece 403 , which is fixedly connected to the base 300 . Two clips 400 are formed on both sides of the fixing piece 403 , and the clips 400 and the fixing piece 403 are bent.
[0038] By arranging the fixing plate 403 and utilizing the fixed connection between the fixing plate 403 and the base 300, the clips 400 are also synchronously formed on both sides of the base 300. The clips 400 and the fixing plate 403 are bent so that the two clips 400 are arranged to clamp each other. The two clips 400 can be used to clamp external components to achieve the installation and fixation of the camera bracket.
[0039] In this embodiment, the side of the fixing plate 403 has a docking section, the upper end of the clip 400 docks with the docking section, and the clip 400 and the fixing plate 403 are formed as one piece; the side of the fixing plate 403 is recessed to form two notch areas 404, and the two notch areas 404 are respectively formed on both sides of the docking section.
[0040] By forming a notch area 404 on the side of the fixing plate 403, and the notch area 404 is formed on both sides of the docking section, the two sides of the docking section are concave, so that it is convenient for the integral molding between the clip 400 and the fixing plate 403, and the elastic deformation of the clip 400 relative to the fixing plate 403 can be enhanced. In this way, the elastic deformation of the two clips 400 is facilitated, and the deformation of the clamping area 402 is enhanced, so that the two clips 400 can achieve a more stable and wider clamping with the external components, which is convenient for the installation and fixation of the camera bracket.
[0041] In this embodiment, the two clips 400 are arranged obliquely toward each other along the top-to-bottom direction of the clips 400, and a clamping opening is formed between the lower ends of the two clips 400. During the installation and fixing of the two clips 400 and the external component, the two clips 400 elastically swing away from each other to expand the clamping opening. After the external component passes through the clamping opening and enters the clamping area 402, the two clips 400 clamp the external component toward each other, and the two clips 400 apply opposing clamping forces to the external component, thereby relatively fixing the clamp head and the external component, and the entire camera bracket and the external component.
[0042] In this embodiment, an elastic rubber sleeve 401 is sleeved on the outside of a clip 400 . The rubber sleeve 401 is in an expanded and deformed state and is fixedly sleeved on the clip 400 .
[0043] The rubber sleeve 401 has a sleeve cavity 405 inside, the size of the sleeve cavity 405 is smaller than the size of the clip 400, and the rubber sleeve 401 is made of elastic rubber and can be elastically deformed. In this way, when the rubber sleeve 401 is sleeved on the clip 400, the rubber sleeve 401 is in an elastically expanded state, so that it can elastically contract and be clamped and fixed on the clip 400.
[0044] Secondly, the rubber sleeve 401 is elastic. When the camera bracket is fixed on the external component, the rubber sleeve 401 abuts against the external component, thereby increasing the friction between the rubber sleeve 401 and the external component, making the clamping between the clip 400 and the external component more stable.
[0045] A plurality of elastic blocks are protruding from the surface of the rubber sleeve 401, and the interior of the elastic blocks is bare. After the external component is embedded in the clamping area 402, the rubber sleeve 401 is pressed against the surface of the external component, and the two clips 400 clamp and fix the external component. The elastic blocks are compressed and deformed under pressure, and form multi-position pressure on the external component, so that the clamp can clamp the external component more firmly, so that the camera bracket can be installed more firmly.
[0046] In addition, during use, when the user wears the helmet, the clip 400 without the rubber cover 401 is arranged away from the user's face, while the clip 400 with the rubber cover 401 is arranged close to the user's face, and can abut against the user's face. Due to the protective effect of the rubber cover 401, hard abutment against the user's face is avoided, thereby avoiding discomfort and improving the user's comfort.
[0047] In this embodiment, the connection structure includes a universal head, which is movably connected to the base 300 and fixedly connected to the frame 100. The frame 100 swings relative to the base 300 with the universal head as the swing center. By arranging the universal head, the frame 100 can rotate 360 degrees relative to the base 300, that is, a full range of rotation. The frame 100 can swing relative to the base 300 within a set range, and the set range is limited by the swing interval.
[0048] In some embodiments, the universal head includes a connecting section 501 and a spherical head 502. The connecting section 501 is fixedly connected to the frame 100, and the spherical head 502 is movably embedded in the base 300. The frame 100 swings relative to the base 300 with the spherical head 502 as the swing center.
[0049] The connecting section 501 can be embedded in the frame 100, thereby ensuring a secure connection and integration between the universal head and the frame 100. The spherical head 502 is embedded in the base 300 and is movably connected to the base 300, allowing the spherical head 502 to rotate between the two and the base 300, and the base 300 to swing relative to the spherical head 502.
[0050] In some embodiments, a central hole 302 is formed in the middle of the base 300 , and the spherical head 502 is movably embedded in the central hole 302 , so that the spherical head 502 and the base 300 are movably connected.
[0051] The top of the base 300 has a top surface 301, and the middle of the top surface 301 forms a swing center. The above-mentioned middle hole 302 is set at the swing center. Along the circumference from the swing center to the top surface 301, the top surface 301 is arranged to be tilted downward. In this way, within a limited swing interval range, the setting range of the swing of the frame 100 relative to the base 300 can be increased, greatly increasing the swing range of the frame 100 relative to the base 300.
[0052] In some embodiments, the frame 100 is provided with a magnetic plate 200 for magnetically attracting the camera to secure the camera to the frame 100. The magnetic plate 200 is fixed to the frame 100. When the camera needs to be placed on the frame 100, the camera is directly placed against the magnetic plate 200, and the camera is attracted to the magnetic plate 200 by magnetism, thereby achieving a secure installation between the camera and the frame 100.
[0053] A recessed cavity 101 is provided on the frame 100, and the magnetic plate 200 is fixed at the bottom of the recessed cavity 101. In this way, the magnetic plate 200 is conveniently installed in the frame 100, and the recessed cavity 101 is recessed. After the camera is fixed on the magnetic plate 200, it is sunken into the recessed cavity 101, which can protect the camera and prevent the camera from being too exposed and colliding with the outside.
[0054] In some embodiments, a limiting wall 102 is provided at the bottom of the recessed cavity 101, and the limiting wall 102 is arranged around the circumference of the recessed cavity 101; the limiting wall 102 encloses a limiting area 103, and the magnetic plate 200 is placed in the limiting area 103, and the limiting wall 102 abuts against the outer periphery of the magnetic plate 200.
[0055] The camera is set in the limiting area 103, and the limiting wall 102 is used to abut against the outer periphery of the magnetic plate 200 to abut and limit the outer periphery of the magnetic plate 200, which facilitates the installation of the magnetic plate 200 and makes the magnetic plate 200 firmly at the bottom of the recessed cavity 101.
[0056] In this embodiment, the frame 100 is in the shape of an elongated strip, and the recessed cavity 101 is extended along the length direction of the frame 100. The outer periphery of the recessed cavity 101 has two short side walls 107 and two long side walls 106. The long side walls 106 are extended along the length direction of the recessed cavity 101, and the short side walls 107 are extended along the width direction of the recessed cavity 101. The two short side walls 107 are connected with the two long side walls 106 in sequence to enclose the above-mentioned recessed cavity 101.
[0057] The short side walls 107 are recessed outward to form short side grooves 104, and the long side walls 106 are recessed outward to form multiple long side grooves 105. The multiple long side grooves 105 are spaced apart along the length of the long side walls 106. The arrangement of the short side grooves 104 and the multiple long side grooves 105 can reduce the weight of the frame 100. Furthermore, when the camera is attached to the magnetic plate 200, the external structure of the camera can be embedded in the long side grooves 105 or the short side grooves 104 to further define the camera, thereby making the camera more firmly fixed to the frame 100.
[0058] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
