Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of name tag recorders, and in particular relates to an automatic induction name tag recorder with reduced power consumption. Background Technology

[0002] A name tag is an identification badge worn on the left or right side of a garment, primarily used to introduce an individual or organization. With continuous advancements in technology, name tags have been combined with recorders to create name tag recorders, typically used by staff to record audio and video of individuals during their work, such as in banks, hospitals, and law enforcement agencies.

[0003] Current name tag recorders consume a lot of power because they record for extended periods after being turned on. Turning them on or off via a button switch is inconvenient, requiring confirmation before they are turned on or off, and it's easy to forget to turn them on or off.

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical issues, the applicant has retrieved some existing technologies that enable automatic sensing to automatically shut off recording when no one is present and resume recording when a human body is detected, thereby extending battery life. For example, a law enforcement recorder assisted by infrared human body sensing technology, patent publication number CN209930386U, primarily employs a low-power infrared human body proximity sensor. During on-site law enforcement, the recorder remains in a low-power sleep state. When a pedestrian appears in the field of view, the infrared sensor detects the human body and automatically activates video recording. Once the human body leaves, video recording automatically shuts off, achieving low power consumption and long battery life for the law enforcement recorder. According to the applicant's analysis, the drawbacks of this technical solution are as follows: Because infrared sensors have a certain response speed, they need a certain amount of time to detect objects and generate signals. In addition, the processor needs a certain amount of time to process the signals transmitted from the infrared sensors and determine whether to start the camera and recording modules according to the preset program logic. This results in a certain delay in the process of the infrared sensor transmitting signals to the processor and then the processor controlling the start of the camera and recording modules. Furthermore, the camera and recording modules require a response time when starting up, which prevents them from recording images and sounds in a timely manner, thereby reducing the effectiveness of the badge recorder. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a power-saving automatic induction badge recorder. This solves the technical problem that delays in the infrared sensor sensing and processor control processes in existing technologies prevent the camera and recording module from recording images and sounds in a timely manner, thereby reducing the effectiveness of the badge recorder.

[0006] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0007] A low-power automatic inductive name badge recorder includes a name badge recorder body, a display screen, a camera module, an infrared sensor, a processor, and a recording module. The name badge recorder also includes:

[0008] A thermal imaging sensor is installed on the body of the badge recorder. The thermal imaging sensor is connected to the processor. The thermal imaging sensor detects temperature data and transmits it to the processor. The processor then controls the camera module and the recording module to be in a pre-start state.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the name tag recorder is equipped with a sound sensor, which is connected to the processor.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, an acceleration sensor is installed on the body of the badge recorder, and the acceleration sensor is connected to the processor.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the top of the name tag recorder body is equipped with several mounting heads, the outside of the name tag recorder body is provided with a backing plate, and several pins are provided on the backing plate, the pins being connected to the mounting heads.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the mounting head is provided with a slot and a movable cavity, the pin is inserted into the slot, a push plate is movably installed in the movable cavity, a plurality of telescopic rods are provided on one side of the push plate, a plurality of slots are provided on the pin, one end of the telescopic rod is locked in the slot, and a plurality of elastic elements are connected between the other side of the push plate and the movable cavity.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the mounting head is rotatably mounted on the top of the name tag recorder body, and a telescopic adjustment plate is provided at the bottom of the name tag recorder body, with one side of the adjustment plate abutting against the backing plate.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] 1. In this utility model, the thermal imaging sensor is responsible for real-time monitoring of the surrounding ambient temperature, with a focus on identifying human body temperature characteristics. When a target enters the blind zone of the infrared sensor but is within the threshold sensing range of the thermal imaging sensor, the thermal imaging sensor will trigger a temperature signal and transmit the data signal to the processor for linkage response. This allows the processor to control the camera module and the recording module to pre-start, eliminating the response time when the camera module and the recording module start up later. When a person enters the detection range of the infrared sensor, the infrared sensor will transmit a signal to the processor, which can then control the camera module and the recording module to turn on immediately. This allows the camera module and the recording module to record images and sounds in a timely manner, thereby enhancing the usability of the badge recorder and achieving automatic sensing. Recording can be automatically turned off when no one is present and turned on when someone is detected, thus extending battery life.

[0016] 2. In this utility model, by setting up a thermal imaging sensor, an infrared sensor, a sound sensor and an acceleration sensor, and through the mutual assistance and cooperation of the thermal imaging sensor, infrared sensor, sound sensor and acceleration sensor, on the one hand, the self-sensing efficiency is improved, so that the camera module and the recording module can be switched on and off in time. On the other hand, when one sensor is damaged, the other sensors can work independently, thereby further enhancing the use effect of the name tag recorder.

[0017] 3. In this utility model, by setting a backing plate, after installation, the backing plate's own weight causes it to press against the name tag recorder body, keeping the name tag recorder body in a horizontal state at all times. This effectively prevents the name tag recorder body from swinging with the movement of clothing during use, thereby improving the stability of the name tag recorder body during use and ensuring that the camera module and audio recording module can record clear images and audio. In addition, if the staff's clothing has a chest pocket, the name tag recorder body can be installed by simply placing the backing plate into the pocket after installing the backing plate and the name tag recorder body together, thus improving the efficiency of assembling and disassembling the name tag recorder body.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a power-saving automatic induction badge recorder includes a badge recorder body 1, a display screen 2, a camera module 3, an infrared sensor 4, a processor 8, and a recording module 16. The badge recorder also includes:

[0026] Thermal imaging sensor 5 is installed on the body 1 of the name tag recorder. The thermal imaging sensor 5 is connected to the processor 8. The thermal imaging sensor 5 detects temperature data and transmits it to the processor 8. The processor 8 then controls the camera module 3 and the recording module 16 to be in a pre-start state.

[0027] In one embodiment, the display screen 2, camera module 3, infrared sensor 4, processor 8, recording module 16 and thermal imaging sensor 5 are all existing technologies. This application does not improve them. Therefore, it is not necessary to disclose their specific mechanical and circuit structures, and this does not affect the integrity of this application.

[0028] In practical applications, the thermal imaging sensor 5 is responsible for real-time monitoring of the surrounding ambient temperature and focusing on identifying human body temperature characteristics; at the same time, the infrared sensor 4 covers a preset medium- and short-range detection range. When a target enters the blind zone of infrared sensor 4 but is within the threshold sensing range of thermal imaging sensor 5, thermal imaging sensor 5 will trigger a temperature signal and transmit the data signal to processor 8 for a coordinated response. This causes processor 8 to control camera module 3 and recording module 16 to pre-start, i.e., after being turned on, they are in standby mode. If they receive an activation signal, they will immediately turn on, thus eliminating the response time when camera module 3 and recording module 16 are subsequently activated. When a person enters the detection range of infrared sensor 4, infrared sensor 4 will transmit a signal to processor 8, which can then control camera module 3 and recording module 16 to turn on immediately. This allows camera module 3 and recording module 16 to record images and sounds in a timely manner, thereby enhancing the usability of the badge recorder 1. When the target is outside the threshold sensing range of thermal imaging sensor 5, thermal imaging sensor 5 transmits a signal to processor 8, which then controls camera module 3 and recording module 16 to turn off. This achieves automatic sensing, automatically turning off recording when no one is present and turning on recording when a human body is detected, thereby extending battery life.

[0029] In addition, if the infrared sensor 4 is damaged, the temperature detected by the thermal imaging sensor 5 will be relatively high when a person approaches the staff carrying the name tag recorder 1. At this time, the thermal imaging sensor 5 will transmit a signal to the processor 8, and the processor 8 will control the camera module 3 and the recording module 16 to turn on immediately. In this way, it can be automatically activated even if the infrared sensor 4 is damaged, further enhancing the use effect of the name tag recorder 1.

[0030] Furthermore, a sound sensor 6 is installed on the main body 1 of the name tag recorder, and the sound sensor 6 is connected to the processor 8.

[0031] In one embodiment, the sound sensor 6 is existing technology, and this application does not improve upon it. Therefore, it is not necessary to disclose its specific mechanical and circuit structures, and this does not affect the integrity of this application.

[0032] In practical application, the sound sensor 6 can detect the sound wave frequency in the environment. When the sound wave frequency is high, i.e., when a person slowly approaches the staff member carrying the name tag recorder 1, the sound sensor 6 transmits a signal to the processor 8. The processor 8 controls the camera module 3 and the recording module 16 to turn on. When the sound wave frequency gradually decreases, the processor 8 controls the camera module 3 and the recording module 16 to turn off. The sound sensor 6 assists the infrared sensor 4 and the thermal imaging sensor 5 in synchronous sensing. On the one hand, it improves the self-sensing efficiency, enabling the camera module 3 and the recording module 16 to turn on and off in a timely manner. On the other hand, when one sensor is damaged, the other sensors can work independently, thereby further enhancing the usability of the name tag recorder 1.

[0033] Furthermore, an accelerometer 7 is installed on the main body 1 of the name tag recorder, and the accelerometer 7 is connected to the processor 8.

[0034] In one embodiment, the accelerometer 7 is existing technology, and this application does not improve upon it. Therefore, it is not necessary to disclose its specific mechanical and circuit structures, and this does not affect the integrity of this application.

[0035] In practical application, when a worker waves their hand towards the name tag recorder 1, the accelerometer 7 detects the wave and transmits a signal to the processor 8. The processor 8 then controls the camera module 3 and the recording module 16 to turn on. When the worker waves their hand towards the name tag recorder 1 again, the processor 8 controls the camera module 3 and the recording module 16 to turn off. The accelerometer 7 assists the infrared sensor 4, the sound sensor 6, and the thermal imaging sensor 5 in sensing, improving self-sensing efficiency and enabling the camera module 3 and the recording module 16 to turn on and off in a timely manner. Furthermore, when one sensor fails, the others can still work independently, further enhancing the usability of the name tag recorder 1. Moreover, compared to traditional button switches, the accelerometer 7 is more convenient to use.

[0036] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the top of the name tag recorder body 1 is equipped with several mounting heads 9, and the outside of the name tag recorder body 1 is provided with a backing plate 10. Several pins 11 are provided on the backing plate 10, and the pins 11 are connected to the mounting heads 9.

[0037] It should be noted that the current name tag recorder body 1 is generally fixed to the staff's clothing with pins or clips. Although pins are relatively secure, they are troublesome to install and remove. Clips are easy to install and remove, but they are not secure. Moreover, both have the same drawback: the name tag recorder body 1 will swing with the movement of the clothing. This causes the name tag recorder body 1 to shake during use, resulting in the camera module 3 being unable to record clear images and the audio recording module 16 being unable to record clear audio. Therefore, a corresponding structure is designed to solve the above problems.

[0038] In practical application, the backing plate 10 is placed inside the clothing, the pin 11 is passed through the clothing, and finally the name tag recorder body 1 is installed by connecting the mounting head 9 to the pin 11. After installation, due to the weight of the backing plate 10, the backing plate 10 holds the name tag recorder body 1 in place, keeping the name tag recorder body 1 in a horizontal position. This effectively prevents the name tag recorder body 1 from swinging with the movement of the clothing during use, thereby improving the stability of the name tag recorder body 1 during use and ensuring that the camera module 3 and the audio recording module 16 can record clear images and audio.

[0039] If the staff member's clothing has a chest pocket, the backrest 10 and the name tag recorder body 1 can be installed together, and the backrest 10 can be put into the pocket to complete the installation of the name tag recorder body 1, thus improving the efficiency of the installation and removal of the name tag recorder body 1.

[0040] Furthermore, the mounting head 9 is provided with a slot 91 and a movable cavity 92. The pin 11 is inserted into the slot 91, and a push plate 13 is movably installed in the movable cavity 92. A number of telescopic rods 14 are provided on one side of the push plate 13. A number of slots 111 are provided on the pin 11. One end of the telescopic rod 14 is locked in the slot 111. A number of elastic elements 15 are connected between the other side of the push plate 13 and the movable cavity 92.

[0041] In one embodiment, the elastic element 15 may be a spring or other component capable of elastic extension and contraction.

[0042] In practical application, the two push plates 13 are first moved towards each other, causing the push plates 13 to press against the elastic element 15. Then, the pin 11 is inserted into the slot 91. The push plates 13 are then released, and the push plates 13 move toward the pin 11 under the elastic force of the elastic element 15. Several telescopic rods 14 on the push plates 13 will then be inserted into the corresponding slots 111, thereby fixing the pin 11 and completing the installation of the name tag recorder body 1.

[0043] Furthermore, the mounting head 9 is rotatably mounted on the top of the name tag recorder body 1, and a telescopic adjustment plate 12 is provided at the bottom of the name tag recorder body 1, with one side of the adjustment plate 12 abutting against the backing plate 10.

[0044] In practical application, by adjusting the length of the adjustment plate 12 and coordinating with the rotation of the mounting head 9, the name tag recorder body 1 can be rotated to adjust the angle, thereby adjusting the camera module 3 to a suitable angle, and thus making the image recorded by the camera module 3 clearer and more stable; at the same time, the adjustment plate 12 always abuts against the backing plate 10, so that the name tag recorder body 1 is always abutted, which can further improve the stability of the name tag recorder body 1.

[0045] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
