[0027] In order to make the technical solutions of the present application and its advantages clearer, the technical solutions of the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only part of the embodiments of the present application, and are only used to explain the present application, but not to limit the present application. It should be noted that, for the convenience of description, only parts related to the present application are shown in the drawings, and other related parts can be referred to the general design. In the case of no conflict, the embodiments in the present application and the technical features in the embodiments can be combined to obtain new embodiments.

[0028] The present application provides a camera with foldable storage solar panels, comprising:

[0029] The camera body 1, the waterproof ring support 2, the waterproof ring 3, the horizontal shaft 4, the horizontal shaft support 5, the solar panel rear shell 6, the solar panel 7, the solar panel rear shell support 9 and the shaft 8;

[0030] The horizontal shaft support 5 is rotatably connected to the camera body 1 through the horizontal shaft 4;

[0031] The solar panel rear shell support 9 is hingedly connected to one end of the horizontal shaft support 5 and hingedly connected to the other end of the solar panel rear shell 6;

[0032] The solar panel rear shell 6 is provided with the solar panel 7; the solar panel 7 is connected to the battery of the camera body 1 through an electric circuit.

[0033] Based on the above technical features, the solar panel 7 can continuously charge the battery during use, and the solar panel 7 can be folded or unfolded during use, and it has a 360-degree rotation freedom through the horizontal shaft 4, which can be better operated, so that the solar panel 7 can be aligned with the sun.

[0034] The axes of the two hinged points of the solar panel rear shell support 9 are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the horizontal shaft 4, so that the solar panel rear shell 6 can be folded on the camera body 1 and has the freedom of rotation around the horizontal shaft 4.

[0035] One end of the horizontal shaft 4 has a fixed mounting seat, and the other end has a rotatable mounting edge, the fixed mounting seat is fixed in the mounting groove of the camera body 1, and the rotatable mounting edge is fixedly connected with the horizontal shaft support 5.

[0036] The waterproof ring support 2 is installed in the mounting groove, the waterproof ring 3 is sleeved on the outer cylindrical surface of the waterproof ring support 2, and the horizontal shaft support 5 is sleeved on the outer cylindrical surface of the waterproof ring 3, so as to realize waterproof sealing.

[0037] Based on the above technical features, the camera can work normally in humid or rainy weather, avoiding the reduction of waterproof performance due to the presence of the solar panel 7;

[0038] The camera body 1 forms an annular boss at the outer edge of the mounting groove, and the horizontal rotating shaft support 5 has a ring groove for accommodating the annular boss.

[0039] The solar panel rear shell support 9 is hinged at both ends to the horizontal rotating shaft support 5 and the solar panel rear shell 6 through the hinge shaft 8. The hinge shaft 8 includes a central shaft 81 and a rotor 82 rotatably sleeved on the central shaft. The central shaft 81 has a connecting head 86 at both ends, which is connected to the double-arm structure at both ends of the solar panel rear shell support 9. The rotor 82 in the middle has a rotational freedom, which is connected to the solar panel rear shell 6 or the horizontal rotating shaft support 5.

[0040] The connecting head 86 is hexagonal and matches the hexagonal position of the solar panel rear shell support 9 at both ends. The rotor 82 is hexagonal and matches the hexagonal hinge hole for hinging of the solar panel rear shell 6 or the horizontal rotating shaft support 5. The rotor 82 is fixed in the axial position of the hinge shaft 8, and the end face of one end has a trapezoidal groove in the preset angular position. One side has a non-rotatable locking piece 84, and the end face close to the rotor has a trapezoidal boss matching the trapezoidal groove. The other end of the locking piece 84 is sleeved with multiple elastic spring pieces 85 that displace the locking piece 84 towards the rotor.

[0041] The central shaft 81 is polygonal in cross-section, and the mounting hole of the elastic spring piece 85 and the locking piece 84 matches the cross-section of the central shaft 81, limiting the rotational freedom of the elastic spring piece 85 and the locking piece 84. The trapezoidal groove at one end of the rotor is located on the limiting gasket 83, which is non-rotatably assembled on the rotor 82, limiting the axial position of the rotor 82. The limiting gasket 83 includes multiple gaskets, including the hexagonal connecting head 86.

[0042] Based on the above technical features, the solar panel in the initial position of folding is provided with a self-locking effect, avoiding the automatic unfolding of the solar panel due to force in the case of not being used. The trapezoidal groove matches the trapezoidal boss, so that it needs to overcome the pre-tightening force of the elastic spring piece when opening. On the other hand, when folding, the trapezoidal boss and the trapezoidal groove cooperate to fold the solar panel in place, increasing the experience of use.

[0043] The advantages of the present application include:

[0044] 1. The foldable solar panel uses a rotating shaft with self-locking function to realize the reliability of folding.

[0045] 2. The foldable solar panel increases the waterproof structure function at the horizontal rotating shaft, so that even in the rain, water will not penetrate into the camera.

[0046] The above description is only specific embodiments of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto, any changes or replacements within the technical range disclosed by the present application can be easily thought by those skilled in the art, and should be covered in the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
