Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of camera accessories, in particular to a camera hot shoe cover. Background Art

[0002] A hot shoe is a direct translation of the English word "hot shoe," and some people also call it a dovetail slot. Broadly speaking, a hot shoe is a fixed interface slot for connecting various external accessories to various digital imaging equipment (including digital SLRs, DVs, and traditional digital cameras). These accessories include flashes, GPS trackers, video lights, microphones, and more.

[0003] When a camera's hot shoe is not in use, it is typically protected with a hot shoe cover. Conventional hot shoe covers typically consist of a cover plate and a decorative element. The cover plate mates with the camera's hot shoe, while the decorative element is fixed to the cover plate for decorative effect. However, conventional hot shoe covers are rigidly connected to the cover plate. If the decorative element comes into contact with an external force, any external force applied to the decorative element is directly transferred to the cover plate, easily damaging the camera's hot shoe or scratching the camera body. Therefore, improvements are needed to existing hot shoe covers. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the present invention aims to address the deficiencies in the prior art, and its main purpose is to provide a camera hot shoe cover that can effectively solve the problem that the existing camera hot shoe cover is easily damaged or the camera body is scratched.

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] A camera hot shoe cover comprises a cover plate that is matched with the camera hot shoe and a decorative piece. The decorative piece is softly connected to the cover plate through a connector. The decorative piece is located above the cover plate and can be swung at any angle relative to the cover plate.

[0007] Preferably, the connecting piece is made of silicone.

[0008] Preferably, the bottom surface of the cover plate is recessed with a recessed groove, the top surface of the cover plate is provided with a first through hole, the first through hole is communicated with the recessed groove, the decorative piece has a cavity therein, the bottom surface of the decorative piece is provided with a second through hole, the second through hole is communicated with the cavity, the connecting piece includes a core body, a head and an undercut, the head is integrally connected to the lower end of the core body, the head is embedded in the recessed groove, the undercut is integrally connected to the upper end of the core body, and the undercut passes through the first through hole and the second through hole in sequence and is stuck in the cavity.

[0009] Preferably, the first through hole and the second through hole are both circular holes, and the cross section of the core is circular.

[0010] Preferably, the cover plate is made of plastic material.

[0011] Preferably, the decorative piece is made of plastic material or ceramic material.

[0012] The utility model has obvious advantages and beneficial effects compared with the prior art, and specifically speaking, it can be known from the above technical scheme that:

[0013] The decorative piece is connected with the cover plate through the connecting piece, so that the decorative piece is arranged above the cover plate and can swing at any angle relative to the cover plate, when the decorative piece is touched by the outside, the external force on the decorative piece will not be directly and entirely transmitted to the cover plate, so that the damage of the camera hot shoe or the scratch of the camera body caused by the excessive force on the cover plate is effectively avoided, and convenience is brought to the use.

[0023] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , which shows the specific structure of the preferred embodiment of the utility model, including a cover plate 10 matched with the camera hot shoe and a decorative piece 20.

[0024] The cover plate 10 is made of plastic material, the bottom surface of the cover plate 10 is concavely provided with a let-in slot 11, and the top surface of the cover plate 10 is provided with a first through hole 12, which is communicated with the let-in slot 11. The first through hole 12 is a round hole.

[0025] The decorative piece 20 is connected with the cover plate 10 through a connecting piece 30, and the decorative piece 20 is arranged above the cover plate 10 and can swing at any angle relative to the cover plate 10.

[0026] In the embodiment, the decorative member 20 is made of a material such as plastic or ceramic, but is not limited thereto. The decorative member 20 defines a cavity 21 therein. A second through hole 22 is defined on the bottom surface of the decorative member 20 and communicates with the cavity 21. The second through hole 22 is a circular hole. The decorative member 20 may be of various shapes and patterns, but is not limited thereto.

[0027] The connector 30 is made of silicone, offering excellent elasticity and scalability. Specifically, the connector 30 comprises a core 31, a head 32, and an undercut 33. The head 32 is integrally connected to the lower end of the core 31 and embedded in the clearance groove 11. The undercut 33 is integrally connected to the upper end of the core 31 and sequentially passes through the first and second through holes 12, 22 to engage within the cavity 21. Furthermore, the core 31 has a circular cross-section, while the head 32 is disc-shaped.

[0028] The method of using this embodiment is described in detail as follows:

[0029] During use, the cover 10 is inserted into the camera hot shoe and fixed. At this time, the decorative piece 20 is located above the camera hot shoe. When the decorative piece 20 touches the outside, since the decorative piece 20 is softly connected to the cover 10 through the connecting piece 30, the decorative piece 20 will swing and will not apply all external forces directly to the cover 10, thereby preventing the cover 10 from being subjected to excessive force and causing damage to the camera hot shoe or scratches to the camera body.

[0030] The design focus of the present invention is: by using a connecting piece to softly connect the decorative piece and the cover plate, the decorative piece is located above the cover plate and can be swingably arranged at any angle relative to the cover plate. When the decorative piece touches the outside, the external force applied to the decorative piece will not be directly transmitted to the cover plate, thereby effectively preventing the cover plate from being subjected to excessive force and causing damage to the camera hot shoe or scratches on the camera body, thereby bringing convenience to use.

[0031] The technical principles of the present invention have been described above with reference to specific embodiments. These descriptions are intended solely to illustrate the principles of the present invention and should not be construed in any way as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention. Based on the explanations herein, those skilled in the art will be able to devise other specific implementations of the present invention without inventive effort, and such implementations will fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
