[0030] To make the technical problems, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.
[0031] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present invention provides a watch head. The watch head includes: a base 6, a watch head body 1, and a camera 7. The watch head body 1 is mounted on the top of the base 6. One horizontal end of the watch head body 1 is rotatably connected to the base 6 via a hinge shaft 8. The other horizontal end of the watch head body 1 is provided with a slot 103. The base 6 is correspondingly provided with a locking block 601 that engages with the slot 103. The camera 7 is mounted on the bottom surface of the watch head body 1.
[0032] This embodiment provides a watch head that, compared to existing technologies, allows the camera 7 to function normally after the watch head body 1 rotates around the hinge axis 8 to a suitable position. When the camera 7 is not needed, the watch head body 1 can be easily rotated back to its original position, causing the locking block 601 to re-engage in the slot 103, allowing the camera 7 to be again shielded by the base 6, ensuring safety when the camera 7 is not required to operate. This design satisfies the functional requirements of the camera 7 while maximizing safety.
[0033] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The bottom surface of the meter body 1 is provided with a protrusion 104, and the camera 7 is installed inside the protrusion 104. The top surface of the base 6 is provided with a recess 602 to avoid the protrusion 104. A sealing ring 603 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the recess 602, and the sealing ring 603 fits against the outer peripheral surface of the protrusion 104. When the meter body 1 and the base 6 are installed, the protrusion 104 can be accurately embedded in the recess 602. Due to the presence of the sealing ring 603, on the one hand, it can play a good sealing role in the gap between the protrusion 104 and the recess 602, preventing external dust, moisture and other impurities from entering the installation area of the camera 7, thereby effectively protecting the camera 7 from corrosion and ensuring the normal operation of the camera 7. On the other hand, the fit between the sealing ring 603 and the outer peripheral surface of the protrusion 104 also increases the stability of the connection between the meter body 1 and the base 6. When subjected to slight vibration or external impact, it can reduce the relative displacement between the meter body 1 and the base 6, so that the position of the camera 7 can remain fixed and will not affect the shooting effect or cause problems with the internal circuit connection due to shaking.
[0034] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 11 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 The system also includes: a pull-out component 2, a battery body 3, and a battery holder 4. The pull-out component 2 is detachably installed on one side of the meter body 1. A guide hole 101 is provided on the side wall of the meter body 1 to slide with the pull-out component 2. One end of the pull-out component 2 extends into the interior of the meter body 1. The battery body 3 is fixedly installed at the end of the pull-out component 2 located inside the meter body 1. The outer contour of the battery body 3 is less than or equal to the inner diameter of the guide hole 101. The battery holder 4 is fixedly installed inside the meter body 1. A slot 401 electrically connected to the battery body 3 is provided on the battery holder 4, and the slot 401 is directly opposite the guide hole 101. In this embodiment, when the battery needs to be replaced, the user only needs to pull the pull-out component 2. Since the pull-out component 2 and the guide hole 101 on the meter body 1 are in a sliding fit relationship, the pull-out component 2 can slide smoothly in the guide hole 101. During the pulling process, the battery body 3 installed at one end of the pull-out component 2 will move outward from the interior of the meter body 1 along with the pull-out component 2. Because the outer contour of the battery body 3 is less than or equal to the inner diameter of the guide hole 101, the battery body 3 can pass through the guide hole 101 without obstruction. The battery body 3 first disengages from the slot 401 on the battery holder 4 until it is completely detached from the meter body 1. This design greatly facilitates battery replacement, eliminating the need for tools or complex disassembly steps required by traditional equipment. The detachable installation of the pull-out component 2 and the meter body 1 also facilitates individual replacement and repair in case of malfunction of the pull-out component 2 or the battery body 3.
[0035] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 11 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 Two conductive rings 301, corresponding to the positive and negative terminals, are fixedly fitted onto the end of the battery body 3 furthest from the pull-out component 2. A conductive receiving ring 402, corresponding to the conductive rings 301, is installed inside the slot 401. In this embodiment, the battery body 3 is cylindrical. Two conductive rings 301 are fitted onto the end of the battery body 3 furthest from the pull-out component 2. An insulating component is installed between the two conductive rings 301 to prevent them from conducting through each other. The two conductive rings 301 correspond to the positive and negative terminals of the battery body 3, respectively. The two conductive receiving rings 402 are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the slot 401. The slot 401 has a through-slot structure, allowing the two conductive receiving rings 402 to be installed into the slot 401 from both sides of the battery holder 4. The distance between the two conductive rings 301 is consistent with the distance between the two conductive receiving rings 402, thus ensuring that after the battery body 3 is inserted into the slot 401, the conductive rings 301 and 402 conduct through each other. By setting the conductive ring 301 and the conductive receiving ring 402 as a ring structure, the contact area between the two is increased, thereby ensuring that the conductive ring 301 and the conductive receiving ring 402 can conduct smoothly.
[0036] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 11 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 The conductive ring 301 has an annular groove 302 around its circumference, and the conductive receiving ring 402 has a limiting protrusion 403 on its inner circumference that engages with the annular groove 302. In this embodiment, the annular groove 302 and the conductive ring 301 are coaxially arranged. Multiple limiting protrusions 403 are evenly distributed along the inner circumference of the conductive receiving ring 402. When the conductive ring 301 and the conductive receiving ring 402 are installed in place, the limiting protrusions 403 engage with the annular groove 302, thereby keeping the battery body 3 and the battery holder 4 relatively fixed and effectively preventing the battery body 3 from shaking relative to the battery holder 4. The limiting protrusions 403 are made of conductive material and are fixedly connected to the conductive receiving ring 402 by welding.
[0037] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 8 The pull-out component 2 is a cylinder with an internal cavity 201 that extends through it along its axial direction. In this embodiment, since the pull-out component 2 is cylindrical, the guide hole 101 is a circular hole. The cavity 201 inside the pull-out component 2, extending through it along its axial direction, significantly reduces its weight and saves material costs. The pull-out component 2 is coaxially arranged with the battery body 3.
[0038] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 9 The outer wall of the pull-out component 2 has a relief groove 202 communicating with the cavity 201. A support shaft 203 is fixedly installed in the relief groove 202, and a lighting lamp 204 is rotatably connected to the support shaft 203. The support shaft 203 and the lighting lamp 204 are eccentrically positioned. In this embodiment, the relief groove 202 penetrates the outer wall of the pull-out component 2 and communicates with the cavity 201. The support shaft 203 is fixedly installed in the relief groove 202, and the support shaft 203 is parallel to the axial direction of the pull-out component 2. The lighting lamp 204 can rotate around the support shaft 203. Because the support shaft 203 and the lighting lamp 204 are eccentrically positioned, the lighting lamp 204 can rotate around the support shaft 203, thereby screwing into or out of the cavity 201 of the pull-out component 2. When the light 204 is not needed, it is rotated inwards towards the cavity 201 of the pull-out component 2; when the light 204 is needed, it is rotated outwards towards the pull-out component 2. The light 204 can rotate flexibly on the support shaft 203, thereby adjusting the angle of illumination. This design is significant in many scenarios. For example, in dark warehouses, workers can turn the light 204 in different directions as needed to clearly see the placement of goods or locate specific items.
[0039] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 A plug 205 is fixedly installed at one end of the pull-out component 2 located outside the watch head body 1. The plug 205 is used to seal the opening of the cavity 201. In this embodiment, since both ends of the cavity 201 are open structures, the plug 205 seals the opening of the cavity 201 facing the outside of the watch head body 1, thereby preventing foreign objects from entering the cavity 201 and improving the overall aesthetics of the watch head.
[0040] In some embodiments, the plug 205 and the pull-out component 2 are connected by threads. In this embodiment, the plug 205 and the pull-out component 2 are connected by threads, which is simple in structure and convenient to assemble. The plug 205 and the pull-out component 2 can use trapezoidal threads or fine threads to balance load-bearing capacity and assembly accuracy. For example, using M12×1.5 fine threads can enhance the sealing of the connection, while nylon lock nuts or thread sealant can be used to prevent loosening, ensuring stability under vibration conditions. In addition, the material matching of the threaded pair can reduce the coefficient of friction, and with the preload control, it can avoid the risk of stripping and achieve quick disassembly and assembly.
[0041] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7The outer diameter of the plug 205 is larger than the inner diameter of the pull-out component 2, and a gripping groove 206 is formed on the outer circumference of the plug 205. In this embodiment, since the outer diameter of the plug 205 is larger than the inner diameter of the pull-out component 2, the plug 205 covers the end of the pull-out component 2. The inner circumference of the plug 205 is provided with internal threads, and the outer circumference of the end of the pull-out component 2 is provided with external threads that are adapted to the plug 205. The operator applies force to the pull-out component 2 by gripping the plug 205, thereby realizing the assembly operation of the battery body 3. The plug 205 is made of rubber and has a certain degree of flexibility, thereby improving the comfort of the operator during the gripping process. The gripping groove 206 is arc-shaped and is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the plug 205. There are multiple gripping grooves 206, which are evenly distributed along the outer circumference of the plug 205. The gripping groove 206 provides a force application point for the operator, making it more convenient for the operator to apply force.
[0042] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 11A guide post 303 is provided at one end of the battery body 3 near the pull-out component 2. The guide post 303 extends into the interior of the pull-out component 2 and slides in cooperation with it. An elastic element 5 is installed between the guide post 303 and the pull-out component 2, and the elastic element 5 applies a force to the pull-out component 2 toward the battery body 3. In this embodiment, the guide post 303 is a cylinder and is fixedly installed at one end of the battery body 3 near the pull-out component 2. The guide post 303 is coaxially arranged with the battery body 3. The diameter of the guide post 303 is smaller than the diameter of the battery body 3. One end of the guide post 303 extends into the cavity 201 of the pull-out component 2. One end of the guide post 303 is provided with a first limiting flange 304 that slides in cooperation with the inner wall of the cavity 201, and one end of the pull-out piece 2 is provided with a second limiting flange 207 that slides in cooperation with the outer circumferential surface of the guide post 303. The elastic element 5 is a compression spring, which is fitted onto the guide post 303, with its two ends abutting against the first limiting flange 304 and the second limiting flange 207, respectively. The elastic element 5 applies force to the first limiting flange 304 and the second limiting flange 207, thereby bringing the battery body 3 and the pull-out piece 2 closer together. When the battery body 3 is in the working state, only the plug 205 is located outside the meter body 1, and the clearance groove 202 on the pull-out piece 2 is located inside the guide through hole 101, preventing the lighting lamp 204 from being exposed outside the meter body 1, thus protecting the lighting lamp 204. When the light 204 is needed, pull the pull-out piece 2 outward by holding the plug 205 until the clearance groove 202 moves out of the guide hole 101. Then, rotate the light 204 out of the cavity 201, and the light 204 can be used for illumination. During the removal of the light 204, the battery body 3 remains relatively stationary with the battery holder 4 under the restriction of the limiting protrusion 403. The pull-out piece 2 moves away from the battery body 3, and the elastic member 5 is compressed and deformed accordingly. After the light 204 is rotated out of the cavity 201, the force applied to the plug 205 is released, and the light 204 will abut against the outer wall of the meter body 1 under the elastic force of the elastic member 5. When it is necessary to remove the battery body 3, the force applied to the plug 205 must overcome both the elastic force of the elastic member 5 and the resistance at the limiting protrusion 403.
[0043] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 9A positioning groove 102 is provided on the outer wall of the meter body 1. The positioning groove 102 corresponds to the position of the lighting lamp 204, and the outer contour of the positioning groove 102 matches the outer contour of the lighting lamp 204. In this embodiment, the positioning groove 102 is provided on the outer wall of the meter body 1, and the positioning groove 102 is located on one side of the guide through hole 101, and one end of the positioning groove 102 is connected to the guide through hole 101. When the lighting lamp 204 is rotated out of the cavity 201, the lighting lamp 204 gradually approaches the positioning groove 102 and finally coincides with the positioning groove 102. When the plug 205 is released, the lighting lamp 204 moves into the positioning groove 102 under the action of the elastic member 5, and finally the removal operation of the lighting lamp 204 is completed. The positioning groove 102 can ensure the stability of the lighting lamp 204 during the lighting process, thereby improving the photography effect.
