[0034] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the following will be described clearly and completely in conjunction with the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0035] A driving recorder with easy-to-adjust angle according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention; Figure 1-2 As shown, the device includes a main unit 20 and a mounting bracket 10 connected to the main unit, which is used to mount the main unit at the desired location. The mounting bracket 10 includes a detachably connected upper shell 101 and a lower shell 100. A positioning module 102 is disposed between the upper and lower shells. By locating the positioning module within the mounting bracket, the weight of the main unit is reduced. The mounting bracket 10 and the main unit 20 are connected by a rotating shaft 40. Due to the connection of the rotating shaft, after the mounting bracket is fixed, the main unit drives the rotating shaft to rotate relative to the mounting bracket to adjust the orientation of the main unit. The main unit 20 includes a bottom shell 200 with an opening on one side and a front cover 201 disposed on the bottom shell. The bottom shell houses a main unit control board 50 and a camera 30 connected to the main unit control board. The camera performs driving recorder operations, and the main unit control board transmits and receives relevant data. The front cover 201 is provided with an indicator light 202, which can be used to observe the operating status of the driving recorder and, in conjunction with a speaker hole 203 disposed on the front cover, enables the driving recorder to broadcast information. The camera 30 is provided with a camera sleeve 300, which protects the camera and can adjust the focal length of the camera through the sleeve so that it can capture images at different distances. The camera also includes a camera control board 301, which is connected to the host control board and transmits data.

[0036] Specifically, such as Figure 2-7 As shown, the upper end of the host 20 is provided with a connecting arm 2000, and the rotating shaft 40 is provided at the upper end of the connecting arm. A through hole 1000 is provided at the lower end of the mounting bracket corresponding to the rotating shaft. The rotating shaft is placed in the through hole and connected to the connecting arm, so that the host can rotate relative to the mounting bracket through the rotating shaft. The upper end surface of the upper shell 101 is provided with two groups of L-shaped slots 1010. The mounting bracket 10 also includes a mounting block 103 connected to the upper shell. The adhesive surface 1031 at the upper end of the mounting block is adhered to the installation position of the driving recorder, such as the front windshield, a fixed position in the car, etc., and the mounting bracket is fixed by the adhesive surface. The lower end of the mounting block is provided with an L-shaped card block 1030 corresponding to the L-shaped card slot 1010. The L-shaped card block can be inserted into the L-shaped card slot to connect the mounting block to the upper shell.

[0037] Further, if Figure 3-8 As shown, two sets of lower arcuate grooves 1002 are provided on either side of the through hole 1000 of the lower shell 100. Two sets of press-fit columns 1011 are provided on the inner side of the upper shell 101. The lower end surfaces of the press-fit columns are provided with two sets of upper arcuate grooves 1012. Two sets of rotating ends 401 are provided on the left and right sides of the rotating shaft. The rotating ends are pressed by the upper and lower arcuate grooves and can rotate under the press-fit columns to drive the main unit. A bevel 1001 is provided on one side of the through hole 1000, and a vertical surface is provided on the other side. The bevel limits the rotation angle of the main unit so that the main unit can only rotate at an angle between the bevel and the vertical surface. The inclination angle of the bevel can be set as needed. An inner convex ring 1013 is provided inside the upper shell 101. The inner convex ring protrudes from the upper shell and extends from the inner wall of the upper shell. When the upper shell and lower shell are connected, the inner convex ring prevents the upper and lower shells from moving left and right. The screws are then tightened to facilitate the connection and assembly of the mounting bracket. At the same time, the screw locking holes of the upper shell and the lower shell are set on one side of the L-shaped slot, so that when the mounting bracket is connected to the mounting block, the screw holes are hidden, which is more aesthetically pleasing.

[0038] Further, if Figure 10-12 As shown, the host control board 50 also includes a battery 501, which supplies power to the dash cam, as well as a TF card slot 500 and a charging port 501 connected to the host control board. Inserting a TF card into the TF card slot extends the recording time of the dash cam, while the charging port charges the battery of the dash cam to extend the battery life. Heat sinks 502 are connected to both sides of the host control board to improve the heat dissipation of the control board, and multiple groups of heat dissipation wings 5020 are provided on the heat sink to further improve the heat dissipation capacity and extend the service life of the host control board. The host control board 50 is also connected to a speaker 503 and a button 504 to facilitate the voice broadcast and startup and shutdown of the dash cam. A heat sink 502 is also provided on the camera control board 301, and heat dissipation wings are provided to improve the heat dissipation capacity. To further enhance the dashcam's heat dissipation, the bottom case 200 is equipped with multiple sets of heat dissipation holes 2001 on both the top and bottom sides. Multiple sets of clips 600 and blocks 601 are also located around the bottom case. These blocks 601 and clips 600 are positioned in corresponding locations on the front cover, allowing the front cover to be snapped together and easily removed. A cover 204 is also provided on the side of the bottom case facing the camera. This cover is detachably connected to the bottom case via the blocks 600 and clips 601, enhancing the aesthetics of the dashcam's front. Information such as a phone number for moving the vehicle can be displayed on the cover.

[0039] Further, if Figure 8-9 and Figure 13-15As shown, the connecting arm 2000 is arranged above the bottom shell, and an insertion cavity 20002 is provided in the connecting arm. The lower end of the rotating shaft 40 can be inserted into the insertion cavity. At the same time, two sets of insertion columns 20001 are provided in the insertion cavity, and two sets of insertion holes 402 are provided at the lower end of the rotating shaft. The volume of the insertion cavity can be slightly larger than the volume of the lower end of the rotating shaft. After insertion, it is limited by the insertion columns. To further limit the position, limit blocks 20000 are provided on both sides of the insertion cavity, and limit grooves 400 are provided on the left and right sides of the rotating shaft corresponding to the limit blocks. Through the contact of multiple groups of connecting parts, the contact surface between the rotating shaft and the connecting arm is larger, the contact friction is greater, and the connection is more stable. The front cover 201 is provided with a speaker cavity 2011 corresponding to the speaker area, and a speaker hole 203 is provided in the speaker cavity. After the speaker sound enters the speaker cavity, it is played through the speaker hole, and the sound transmission is more concentrated. A top cover extension column 2012 is also provided around the front cover, which prevents the top cover from moving left and right after being connected to the bottom shell, making installation easier. At the same time, horizontal and vertical staggered reinforcement ribs 2010 are provided in the middle of the front cover to improve the strength of the front cover.
