Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of motorcycle accessories, and in particular to a motorcycle dashcam. Background Technology

[0002] With increasingly complex traffic conditions, motorcycles, as a crucial means of personal transportation, have seen widespread concern regarding their safety. To improve motorcyclist safety, various auxiliary devices have emerged on the market, among which dashcams, due to their ability to effectively record driving conditions, have become a key device for enhancing traffic safety. Dashcams not only record unexpected events during driving but also provide vital evidence in traffic accidents, helping traffic police quickly and accurately determine liability. Furthermore, dashcams can deter potential violations to some extent, reducing the accident rate, thus gaining increasing popularity among motorcyclists.

[0003] Currently, motorcycle dashcams on the market mainly fall into two categories: The first is the traditional standalone dashcam. These devices typically come with suction cups or brackets for easy mounting in a conspicuous location on the front of the motorcycle, such as the windshield. Their advantage lies in ease of installation and lack of restriction to specific motorcycle models, but they have significant disadvantages: they are easily detached due to external interference and have poor durability when exposed to outdoor environments for extended periods. The second type is the integrated dashcam. This type of product tends to embed the recording function into other components of the motorcycle, most typically through integration with the rider's helmet. While this approach achieves better concealment and integration, it also introduces additional weight and reduces wearing comfort.

[0004] Neither standalone nor integrated dashcams fully meet motorcyclists' needs for device stability and aesthetics. While standalone devices are easy to install, their reliability is low in inclement weather; integrated designs, although aesthetically pleasing, increase the burden on riders, and repair costs are high if the helmet is damaged. Utility Model Content

[0005] To improve the safety of motorcycle riding, this application provides a motorcycle dashcam.

[0006] The technical solution for a motorcycle dashcam provided in this application is as follows:

[0007] A motorcycle dashcam includes a rearview mirror housing, a front cover, and a rearview mirror lens. The rearview mirror lens is mounted on the front cover, and a mounting cavity is formed between the rearview mirror housing and the front cover. A dashcam assembly is disposed within the mounting cavity. The dashcam assembly includes a camera, a built-in memory, a battery module, and a wireless transmission module. The rearview mirror housing has mounting holes, and the camera is inserted into the mounting holes with its lens facing forward. A shock-absorbing gasket is fitted between the camera and the mounting holes. The wireless transmission module is embedded in the bottom of the rearview mirror housing and is electrically connected to a smart terminal.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, motorcycle dashcams can be effectively integrated into the rearview mirror structure, which not only improves the overall aesthetics and stability of the device, but also avoids the risk of traditional freestanding dashcams falling off due to external environmental influences. The anti-vibration gasket design between the camera and the mounting holes ensures recording stability on bumpy roads, and the addition of a wireless transmission module allows data to be synchronized to a smart terminal in real time, improving ease of use and data security.

[0009] Optionally, a sound-receiving hole is provided on one side of the rearview mirror housing located at the mounting hole, and a microphone is provided inside the mounting cavity, with the microphone located at the sound-receiving hole.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the sound-collecting hole on the rearview mirror housing and the microphone inside the mounting cavity work together to give the dashcam excellent audio acquisition capabilities. This helps to comprehensively record the situation at the time of an accident, providing more complete evidence for accident investigations. At the same time, this design also helps to improve the overall performance of the device, making it more suitable for complex road environments.

[0011] Optionally, a mounting base is provided on the inner side wall of the front cover. The mounting base includes a fixed base and a mounting plate slidably sleeved on the fixed base. The fixed base is fixed on the inner side wall of the front cover. The mounting plate is located on the side of the fixed base away from the front cover. An elastic element connects the fixed base and the mounting plate. The camera, built-in memory and microphone are all mounted on the mounting plate.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the combination of the mounting base and the elastic element effectively absorbs vibrations during motorcycle operation, reducing the impact of vibrations on the dashcam components, ensuring the stability of key components such as the camera, and improving the quality and reliability of dashcam recording. At the same time, this design also enhances the overall durability of the dashcam and extends its service life.

[0013] Optionally, the mounting base and the mounting plate are provided with sensor plates on opposite sides. When the motorcycle encounters an emergency braking, collision or other abnormal situation, the two sensor plates will touch each other.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, when a motorcycle encounters an emergency braking situation, collision, or other abnormal circumstances, the two sensors touch, and the camera separately encrypts and saves the video footage from several minutes before and after the accident. This design ensures that critical accident recordings are effectively protected, preventing data loss or tampering, providing a reliable basis for subsequent accident analysis and liability determination, and further enhancing the safety and legal protection of motorcycle riding.

[0015] Optionally, a waterproof and breathable membrane is provided on the rearview mirror housing, which covers the microphone hole and is glued to the inner wall of the mounting cavity.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, a waterproof and breathable membrane is covered with the microphone hole and sealed to the inner wall of the mounting cavity. This effectively prevents moisture from entering the mounting cavity through the microphone hole, reducing the possibility of damage to internal electronic components due to moisture, while maintaining the permeability of the microphone hole to ensure effective acquisition of audio signals.

[0017] Optionally, a lens protective shell is provided outside the rearview mirror housing, and the lens protective shell is fitted onto the mounting hole.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the lens protective housing can effectively prevent damage to the camera lens from the external environment, such as dust, rain, and minor impacts, ensuring the camera functions normally under various harsh weather conditions and extending the lifespan of the dashcam. At the same time, the design of the lens protective housing does not affect the camera's field of view, guaranteeing the quality and clarity of the dashcam recording.

[0019] Optionally, the rearview mirror housing is provided with an infrared fill light strip, which is sleeved outside the lens protective housing and faces the front of the lens.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the infrared supplementary light strip can automatically turn on in low-light conditions, providing sufficient light supplementation, significantly improving the image quality of the camera, and ensuring clear recording at night or in dim environments. This not only expands the applicability of the dashcam in different environmental conditions, but also enhances the safety of motorcyclists when riding at night.

[0021] Optionally, the bottom of the rearview mirror housing is provided with multiple heat dissipation holes that connect to the mounting cavity.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution and the setting of heat dissipation holes, the heat dissipation performance of the internal electronic components of the dash cam can be effectively improved, which helps to reduce the failure rate caused by overheating and further improves the overall reliability and safety of motorcycle dash cams.

[0023] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0024] 1. Motorcycle dashcams can be effectively integrated into the rearview mirror structure, which not only improves the overall aesthetics and stability of the device, but also avoids the risk of traditional freestanding dashcams falling off due to external environmental factors.
