[0044] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, describes a prompting mechanism, an anti-theft device, and an imaging device according to embodiments of the present invention.

[0045] This utility model aims to provide an embodiment of a prompting mechanism that can indicate whether a component is installed correctly.

[0046] In some applications, the notification mechanism can also indicate whether a component is in a disassembled state.

[0047] In some application scenarios, these prompts can be light prompts, such as the turning of lights on and off, changes in light color or display mode, or sound prompts, such as alarm sounds or voice prompts. These prompts can also be a combination of the above forms.

[0048] In some application scenarios, these prompts can serve as early warnings, meeting the needs for security alerts or anti-theft alerts.

[0049] Therefore, this utility model also aims to provide an embodiment of an anti-theft device, which includes the above-mentioned prompting mechanism.

[0050] Some outdoor electronic devices, such as surveillance cameras, external speakers, and lights, are easily stolen when unattended. Therefore, it is convenient to apply anti-theft devices to outdoor electronic devices to prevent them from being stolen.

[0051] Improvements in the installation of surveillance cameras and other imaging equipment have made them easier to steal.

[0052] For example, the imaging device includes a bracket 110 and an imaging device. The bracket 110 has a stud 160, and the imaging device has an internal thread. By rotating the imaging device relative to the bracket 110, the stud 160 can be screwed into the internal thread. Although this simplifies the installation, it also makes disassembly easier and more susceptible to disassembly and theft.

[0053] Therefore, referring to Figures 1 to 3 This utility model also aims to provide an imaging device or a surveillance camera, which includes an anti-theft device or a warning mechanism.

[0054] Reference Figure 1 The imaging equipment includes a bracket 110 and a functional component 100. The functional component 100 is an electronic component with the ability to take pictures or record videos, such as a camera. The functional component 100 is mounted on the bracket 110, which is connected to a wall or utility pole, etc.

[0055] The functional component 100 is provided with a first mounting part 130 of the connecting bracket 110, and the bracket 110 is provided with a second mounting part 140 corresponding to the first mounting part 130. The first mounting part 130 and the second mounting part 140 are close to each other for installation, and the first mounting part 130 and the second mounting part 140 are far apart from each other for disassembly.

[0056] In some specific embodiments of this utility model, the first mounting part 130 may include a threaded hole 150, and the second mounting part 140 may include a stud 160. The stud 160 and the threaded hole 150 are screwed together to complete the installation, making the disassembly and assembly of the imaging equipment very convenient.

[0057] In this embodiment, one of the first mounting portion 130 and the second mounting portion 140 is used for pressing the detection switch 120.

[0058] Since one of the first mounting part 130 and the second mounting part 140 is used to press the detection switch 120, the detection switch 120 is directly related to the change of the installation position. At the same time, the detection switch 120 is easy to hide, not easy to be observed from the outside, and not easy to be disassembled in advance, thus avoiding the failure of the prompt and alarm functions.

[0059] In some specific embodiments of this utility model, the first mounting part 130 may include a threaded hole 150, and the second mounting part 140 may include a stud 160, with the stud 160 engaging with the threaded hole 150 to complete the installation.

[0060] In some specific embodiments of this utility model, the bracket 110 may also include a locking nut 170, which is fitted onto the stud 160. The locking nut 170 can press the first mounting part 130 so that the first mounting part 130 and the second mounting part 140 are relatively fixed.

[0061] It is easy to understand that, in this embodiment, by setting the locking nut 170, the first mounting part 130 can be squeezed to fix the functional component 100. Moreover, the locking nut 170 can be tightened after the functional component 100 is adjusted into place, which not only meets the fixing requirements, but also makes the orientation of the functional component 100 suitable, so as to facilitate the monitoring of the designated area or designated item.

[0062] The prompting mechanism also includes a detection switch 120 and a prompter electrically connected to the detection switch 120. When the state of the detection switch 120 changes, such as when the detection switch 120 is pressed or toggled, a change in current or signal is generated. The prompter then issues an audible or visual prompt or alarm based on the change in current or signal.

[0063] In some specific embodiments of this utility model, the detection switch 120 and the indicator can both be mounted on the circuit board 230, achieving a modular arrangement, reducing installation difficulty, and avoiding improper installation that could affect the reliability of the indicator mechanism.

[0064] In some specific embodiments of this utility model, the detection switch 120 can be disposed in one of the bracket 110 and the functional component 100.

[0065] In this embodiment, the detection switch 120 is disposed on the functional component 100, that is, the detection switch 120 is disposed on the camera, which can simplify the power supply layout and reduce the layout difficulty.

[0066] When the detection switch 120 is placed on the bracket 110, an additional battery or power supply line is required, which increases the difficulty of placement, but can prevent the camera from being cut off from power and causing the prompting mechanism to fail.

[0067] In this embodiment, for imaging equipment, in the installed state, another component of bracket 110 and functional component 100 is capable of pressing detection switch 120.

[0068] In some specific embodiments of this utility model, the detection switch 120 can be pressed even before the functional component 100 is installed in place, which is equivalent to reducing the sensitivity and avoiding false alarms.

[0069] In the disassembled state, the bracket 110 and another of the functional components 100 are moved away from the detection switch 120 and released from pressure, causing the indicator to give a prompt.

[0070] In some specific embodiments of this utility model, the press of the detection switch 120 can be released when the functional component 100 is completely detached from the bracket 110, in order to deal with the situation where the camera is taken away in case of theft.

[0071] In summary, this embodiment, by setting a detection switch 120 and an indicator, and by mounting the detection switch 120 on one of the functional component 100 and the bracket 110, ensures that when the functional component 100 is mounted on the bracket 110, the other of the functional component 100 and the bracket 110 will press the detection switch 120, causing the detection switch 120 to be in a suppressed state, confirming that the functional component 100 is mounted on the bracket 110. Furthermore, when the functional component 100 is removed, the other of the functional component 100 and the bracket 110 will release the pressure on the detection switch 120, causing the detection switch 120 to be in a released state, generating a corresponding current or signal change. Consequently, the indicator can indicate that the functional component 100 and the bracket 110 have been separated, reminding the device user or owner to confirm whether the functional component 100 has been stolen.

[0072] In this embodiment, by setting up a detection switch 120 and a prompter, when the functional component 100 is installed on the bracket 110 and the detection switch 120 is pressed and suppressed, the status of the detection switch 120 and whether the prompter indicates that the functional component 100 is installed in place can also be confirmed by checking the status of the detection switch 120 and whether the prompter indicates that the functional component 100 is installed in place, which is not limited to providing anti-theft prompts.

[0073] This embodiment, by setting a detection switch 120 and a prompter, can conveniently provide a prompt when the functional component 100 is accidentally loosened and the detection switch 120 is in the released state, and can lock it in time to prevent the functional component 100 from falling off, and is not limited to providing anti-theft prompts.

[0074] Compared with the prior art, this utility model changes the state of the detection switch 120 and controls the prompt by changing the actual position, which is accurate, reliable and less prone to false alarms.

[0075] Compared with existing technologies, this embodiment also eliminates the complex detection structure, simplifies the structure, reduces manufacturing costs, and reduces energy consumption.

[0076] Meanwhile, in some applications, when the detection switch 120 is in the suppressed state, the circuits related to the indicator can be de-energized, which can save energy.

[0077] Meanwhile, the detection switch 120 and the indicator of the prompting mechanism in this embodiment have a simple and easy-to-arrange structure, occupy little space, have little impact on the arrangement of the original equipment, and are easy to implement.

[0078] In some specific embodiments of this utility model, the alert device may include an alarm alert device, which generates warning information such as alarm sound and alarm light to meet the needs of theft prevention.

[0079] In some specific embodiments of this utility model, the prompter may include a positioning prompter. When the functional component 100 is installed in place, the positioning prompter is used to indicate that the installation is in place, thus meeting different application needs.

[0080] In some specific embodiments of this utility model, the indicator can serve as both an alarm and a notification of proper installation, thus simplifying the structure.

[0081] In some specific embodiments of this utility model, the function of the prompter can be set by a program or determined by a circuit.

[0082] In some specific embodiments of this utility model, the first mounting part 130 and the second mounting part 140 can be installed in other forms, such as snap-fit ​​or plug-in. The position of the detection switch 120 needs to be adjusted accordingly to ensure that the prompting or alarm function is normal.

[0083] In order to satisfy Figures 1 to 3 In this embodiment, the functional component 100 is provided with a detection switch 120, which is located at one end of the threaded hole 150, and the end of the stud 160 is used to press the detection switch 120.

[0084] Therefore, when the stud 160 is screwed into the threaded hole 150, the end of the stud 160 will press the detection switch 120, and when the stud 160 is screwed out of the threaded hole 150, the end of the stud 160 will move away from the detection switch 120 and release the pressure.

[0085] In some specific embodiments of this utility model, the functional component 100 may include a housing 180, the housing 180 having a first housing wall 190, and a threaded hole 150 located on the first housing wall 190. Therefore, image-related components can be arranged using the inner wall of the housing 180. At the same time, the support bracket 110 can be connected using the housing wall of the housing 180, simplifying the structure and occupying less space.

[0086] In some specific embodiments of this utility model, the outer shell 180 may have an open side 200, which is disposed opposite to the first shell wall 190.

[0087] It is easy to understand that this embodiment, by setting an open side 200, facilitates the use of image-related components to capture road conditions or monitored objects.

[0088] The open side 200 is positioned opposite to the first shell wall 190, which facilitates disassembly and assembly along the line connecting the open side 200 and the first shell wall 190, reduces assembly difficulty, and avoids restrictions on assembly operations.

[0089] In some specific embodiments of this utility model, the circuit board 230 can be fixed to the first shell wall 190 by screws, which is equivalent to occupying the bottom of the shell 180, making the depth of the shell 180 slightly smaller, without affecting the arrangement inside the shell 180.

[0090] In some specific embodiments of this utility model, the first tube portion 210 may be provided with an inlaid nut 220, which is used to form a threaded hole 150.

[0091] It is easy to understand that by setting the first tube 210, the length of the threaded hole 150 can be extended. At the same time, the overall outer contour of the outer shell 180 is not increased, injection molding or compression molding defects are avoided, and the quality of the outer shell 180 is guaranteed.

[0092] Setting an embedded nut 220 can improve thread strength and reduce the risk of failure.

[0093] In some specific embodiments of this utility model, the functional component 100 may include an end cap, which is fitted onto the outside of the first tube 210, making the outline of the outer shell 180 flush, and at the same time, making the first tube 210 less prone to bending.
