Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of camera technology, and more specifically, to a camera housing. Background Technology

[0002] Modern cameras typically integrate functions such as data storage and reset operations. Implementing these functions usually requires pre-reserved mounting areas on the camera housing to allow users to install memory cards and operate reset buttons, among other electronic components. To protect these components from external environmental factors (such as water and dust), a cover is usually installed at the mounting area, forming a cavity between the cover and the housing to ensure the electronic components are properly housed within the cavity.

[0003] In existing technology, the cap and the housing are typically interlocked during installation, and then fasteners are used to secure them together. However, using fasteners to secure the cap and housing is not very convenient. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model provides a camera housing to solve the problem of poor ease of operation in the prior art where the camera cover and housing are fixed with fasteners.

[0005] This utility model provides a camera housing, comprising: a housing with an outer surface having a mounting area for mounting electronic components; a cover corresponding to the mounting area, the cover being fastened to the housing and detachably connected, forming a receiving cavity between the cover and the housing when the cover is fastened to the housing; a spring arm penetrating the cover, with a first end located outside the cover and a second end located inside the cover, the middle of the spring arm connected to the cover, the first end of the spring arm deforming under external force to allow the first and second ends of the spring arm to move in opposite directions; a first snap-fit ​​structure and a second snap-fit ​​structure, the first snap-fit ​​structure being disposed on the housing and the second snap-fit ​​structure being disposed at the second end of the spring arm, the second snap-fit ​​structure engaging or disengaging with the first snap-fit ​​structure when the first end of the spring arm is pressed and the spring arm deforms; and a first snap-fit ​​structure disposed on the housing and the second snap-fit ​​structure being disposed at the second end of the spring arm.

[0006] Furthermore, the outer surface of the housing is provided with a clearance recess, which is located outside the installation area. A first snap-fit ​​structure is provided inside the clearance recess, and a second snap-fit ​​structure can be inserted into or removed from the clearance recess.

[0007] Furthermore, the first snap-fit ​​structure includes a snap-fit ​​protrusion having a connecting end and a snap-fit ​​end disposed opposite to each other. The connecting end is connected to the side wall of the relief recess, and a through channel is formed between the snap-fit ​​end of the snap-fit ​​protrusion and the side wall of the relief recess. There is a gap between the side of the snap-fit ​​protrusion away from the cover and the bottom of the relief recess. The second snap-fit ​​structure includes a first segment and a second segment connected to each other. The end of the first segment away from the second segment is connected to the second end of the spring arm. There is an included angle between the first segment and the second segment. When the second snap-fit ​​structure snaps with the first snap-fit ​​structure, the second segment is located within the gap and abuts against the side of the snap-fit ​​end of the snap-fit ​​protrusion away from the cover.

[0008] Furthermore, the snap-fit ​​end has a first snap-fit ​​guide surface on the side facing the cover. The first snap-fit ​​guide surface is inclined away from the cover in the direction from the connecting end to the snap-fit ​​end, and the end of the first snap-fit ​​guide surface away from the connecting end extends to the end face of the snap-fit ​​end. The second segment has a second snap-fit ​​guide surface on the side away from the cover. The second snap-fit ​​guide surface is adapted to the first snap-fit ​​guide surface. When the second snap-fit ​​structure snaps with the first snap-fit ​​structure, the first snap-fit ​​guide surface and the second snap-fit ​​guide surface guide and engage. The snap-fit ​​end has a first disengagement guide surface on the side away from the cover. The first disengagement guide surface is inclined towards the cover in the direction from the connecting end to the snap-fit ​​end, and the end of the first disengagement guide surface away from the connecting end extends to the end face of the snap-fit ​​end. The second segment has a second disengagement guide surface on the side facing the cover. The second disengagement guide surface is adapted to the first disengagement guide surface. When the second snap-fit ​​structure separates from the first snap-fit ​​structure, the first disengagement guide surface and the second disengagement guide surface guide and engage.

[0009] Furthermore, the direction from the connecting end of the snap-fit ​​protrusion to the snap-fit ​​end is perpendicular to the snap-fit ​​direction of the cap; the angle between the first snap-fit ​​guide surface and the snap-fit ​​direction of the cap is smaller than the angle between the second snap-fit ​​guide surface and the snap-fit ​​direction of the cap; the angle between the first disengagement guide surface and the snap-fit ​​direction of the cap is smaller than the angle between the second disengagement guide surface and the snap-fit ​​direction of the cap.

[0010] Furthermore, the extension direction of the first segment is the same as the extension direction of the spring arm.

[0011] Furthermore, there is an angle between the extending direction of the spring arm and the fastening direction of the cover, and the angle between the extending direction of the spring arm and the fastening direction of the cover is an acute angle.

[0012] Furthermore, there are two spring arms and two snap-fit ​​structures, with each spring arm and snap-fit ​​structure corresponding to the other, and the two spring arms are symmetrically distributed along the fastening direction of the cover.

[0013] Furthermore, the cover is provided with a through hole, through which the spring arm passes through the cover. The camera housing also includes a connecting rib, one end of which is connected to the side wall of the through hole, and the other end of which is connected to the circumferential surface of the spring arm.

[0014] Furthermore, the connecting rib is integrally formed and connected to the shell; and / or, the connecting rib is integrally formed and connected to the spring arm; and / or, there are two connecting ribs, which are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the spring arm, and the distribution direction of the two connecting ribs, and the direction of movement of the first end of the spring arm is perpendicular when the spring arm deforms.

[0015] Furthermore, the camera housing also includes: a seal disposed between the housing and the cover, wherein the seal is annularly disposed on the outside of the mounting area when the cover and the housing are fastened together, and the seal is used to seal the gap between the cover and the housing; a guide structure disposed between the housing and the cover, and the guide structure is used to guide the fastening of the cover; an interference fit connecting hole and a connecting post, wherein the connecting hole is disposed on one of the housing and the cover, and the connecting post is disposed on the other of the housing and the cover.

[0016] By applying the technical solution of this utility model, the cover and the housing are connected and separated through a first snap-fit ​​structure and a second snap-fit ​​structure. The entire process requires no additional fasteners, making operation simpler and faster. Specifically, a spring arm penetrates the cover, with its first end located on the outside of the cover. The second snap-fit ​​structure at the second end of the spring arm engages with the first snap-fit ​​structure on the housing. When the cover needs to be installed, pressing the first end of the spring arm deforms it, causing the second snap-fit ​​structure to engage with the first snap-fit ​​structure, thus fixing the cover to the housing. For disassembly, pressing the first end of the spring arm again deforms it, separating the second snap-fit ​​structure from the first snap-fit ​​structure, allowing the cover to be easily removed. This design ensures that the first and second snap-fit ​​structures can only engage or disengage when the first end of the spring arm is pressed and deformed. This design prevents the cover from easily loosening or falling off during normal use, ensuring that electronic components remain stably within the housing cavity and are effectively protected.

[0031] 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. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the present utility model or its application or use. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 7As shown, this embodiment of the utility model provides a camera housing, which includes a housing 10, a cover 20, a spring arm 30, a first snap-fit ​​structure 40, and a second snap-fit ​​structure 50. The outer surface of the housing 10 has a mounting area for mounting electronic components. The cover 20 is disposed corresponding to the mounting area, and the cover 20 is fastened to the housing 10 and detachably connected to the housing 10. When the cover 20 is fastened to the housing 10, a receiving cavity is formed between the cover 20 and the housing 10. The spring arm 30 is disposed through the cover 20. The first end of the spring arm 30 is located on the outside of the cover 20, the second end of the spring arm 30 is located on the inside of the cover 20, and the middle part of the spring arm 30 is connected to the cover 20. Under the action of external force, the first end of the spring arm 30 deforms, so that the first end and the second end of the spring arm 30 move in opposite directions. The first snap-fit ​​structure 40 is provided on the housing 10, and the second snap-fit ​​structure 50 is provided on the second end of the spring arm 30. When the first end of the spring arm 30 is pressed and the spring arm 30 is deformed, the second snap-fit ​​structure 50 snaps into or separates from the first snap-fit ​​structure 40.

[0033] By applying the technical solution of this utility model, the cover 20 and the housing 10 are connected and separated through the first snap-fit ​​structure 40 and the second snap-fit ​​structure 50. The entire process does not require additional fasteners, making the operation simpler and faster. Specifically, the spring arm 30 is set through the cover 20, with the first end of the spring arm 30 located on the outside of the cover 20. The second snap-fit ​​structure 50 at the second end of the spring arm 30 can snap into the first snap-fit ​​structure 40 on the housing 10. When the cover 20 needs to be installed, press the first end of the spring arm 30 to deform the spring arm 30, and the second snap-fit ​​structure 50 snaps into the first snap-fit ​​structure 40, thus fixing the cover 20 to the housing 10. When disassembling, press the first end of the spring arm 30 again, and the spring arm 30 deforms, separating the second snap-fit ​​structure 50 from the first snap-fit ​​structure 40, allowing the cover 20 to be easily removed. The above configuration ensures that the first locking structure 40 and the second locking structure 50 can only engage or disengage when the first end of the spring arm 30 is pressed and the spring arm 30 is deformed. This configuration ensures that the cover 20 will not easily loosen or fall off during normal use, allowing the electronic components to remain stably within the cavity and receive effective protection.

[0034] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, furthermore, the outer surface of the housing 10 is provided with a clearance recess 101, which is located outside the mounting area. The first snap-fit ​​structure 40 is disposed within the clearance recess 101, and the second snap-fit ​​structure 50 can be inserted into or removed from the clearance recess 101. This arrangement ensures that after the second snap-fit ​​structure 50 is engaged with the first snap-fit ​​structure 40, the second snap-fit ​​structure 50 is located within the clearance recess 101, reducing or avoiding the possibility of accidental contact with the second snap-fit ​​structure 50 and improving the stability of the connection between the cover 20 and the housing 10.

[0035] Specifically, the outer surface of the housing 10 is provided with a mounting groove, the contour of the cover 20 is adapted to the contour of the mounting groove, and the middle part of the bottom wall of the mounting groove forms a mounting area. A clearance recess 101 is provided on the bottom wall of the mounting groove and is located outside the mounting area. The contour of the cover 20 is adapted to the contour of the mounting groove, ensuring that the cover 20 can be accurately placed in the mounting groove of the housing 10, making the fit between the cover 20 and the housing 10 tighter, reducing protruding parts of the overall structure, and making the camera housing more compact. The clearance recess 101, located on the bottom wall of the mounting groove and outside the mounting area, provides additional protection for the first snap-fit ​​structure 40 and the second snap-fit ​​structure 50.

[0036] like Figures 4 to 7 As shown in the embodiment of this solution, the first snap-fit ​​structure 40 includes a snap-fit ​​protrusion with a connecting end 401 and a snap-fit ​​end 402 disposed opposite to each other. The connecting end 401 is connected to the side wall of the clearance recess 101, and a through channel is formed between the snap-fit ​​end 402 of the snap-fit ​​protrusion and the side wall of the clearance recess 101. There is a gap between the side of the snap-fit ​​protrusion away from the cover 20 and the bottom of the clearance recess 101. The second snap-fit ​​structure 50 includes a first segment 51 and a second segment 52 connected to each other. The end of the first segment 51 away from the second segment 52 is connected to the second end of the spring arm 30. There is an included angle between the first segment 51 and the second segment 52. When the second snap-fit ​​structure 50 snaps with the first snap-fit ​​structure 40, the second segment 52 is located within the gap and abuts against the side of the snap-fit ​​end 402 of the snap-fit ​​protrusion away from the cover 20. This configuration is simple in structure and facilitates the processing and forming of the first snap-fit ​​structure 40 and the second snap-fit ​​structure 50.

[0037] Specifically, during installation, align the cover 20 with the mounting groove of the housing 10, so that the second snap-fit ​​structure 50 is aligned with the recess 101. Press the first end of the spring arm 30, causing the spring arm 30 to deform. The second segment 52 of the second snap-fit ​​structure 50 moves to the side of the snap-fit ​​protrusion away from the cover 20, and abuts against the side of the snap-fit ​​end 402 away from the cover 20. Release the spring arm 30 to achieve the snap-fit ​​between the first snap-fit ​​structure 40 and the second snap-fit ​​structure 50. Similarly, during disassembly, press the first end of the spring arm 30, causing the spring arm 30 to deform. The second segment 52 of the second snap-fit ​​structure 50 separates from the snap-fit ​​end 402 of the snap-fit ​​protrusion, and the cover 20 can be removed.

[0038] In this embodiment, the snap-fit ​​end 402 has a first snap-fit ​​guide surface 4021 on the side facing the cover 20. The first snap-fit ​​guide surface 4021 is inclined away from the cover 20 in the direction from the connecting end 401 to the snap-fit ​​end 402, and the end of the first snap-fit ​​guide surface 4021 away from the connecting end 401 extends to the end face of the snap-fit ​​end 402. The second segment 52 has a second snap-fit ​​guide surface 5021 on the side away from the cover 20. The second snap-fit ​​guide surface 5021 is adapted to the first snap-fit ​​guide surface 4021. When the second snap-fit ​​structure 50 snaps with the first snap-fit ​​structure 40, the first snap-fit ​​guide surface 4021 and the second snap-fit ​​guide surface 5021 guide and cooperate. The setting of the first snap-fit ​​guide surface 4021 and the second snap-fit ​​guide surface 5021 can provide guidance for the snap-fit ​​process of the first snap-fit ​​structure 40 and the second snap-fit ​​structure 50, which facilitates the snap-fit ​​process of the first snap-fit ​​structure 40 and the second snap-fit ​​structure 50. Furthermore, the first snap-fit ​​guide surface 4021 and the second snap-fit ​​guide surface 5021 have simple structures and are easy to process.

[0039] Furthermore, the snap-fit ​​end 402 has a first disengagement guide surface 4022 on the side facing away from the cover 20. The first disengagement guide surface 4022 is inclined towards the cover 20 from the connecting end 401 to the snap-fit ​​end 402, and the end of the first disengagement guide surface 4022 away from the connecting end 401 extends to the end face of the snap-fit ​​end 402. The second segment 52 has a second disengagement guide surface 5022 on the side facing the cover 20. The second disengagement guide surface 5022 is adapted to the first disengagement guide surface 4022. When the second snap-fit ​​structure 50 is separated from the first snap-fit ​​structure 40, the first disengagement guide surface 4022 and the second disengagement guide surface 5022 guide and cooperate. The setting of the first disengagement guide surface 4022 and the second disengagement guide surface 5022 can provide guidance for the separation process of the first snap-fit ​​structure 40 and the second snap-fit ​​structure 50, which facilitates the separation process of the first snap-fit ​​structure 40 and the second snap-fit ​​structure 50. Furthermore, the first unloading guide surface 4022 and the second unloading guide surface 5022 have a simple structure and are easy to process.

[0040] Furthermore, the direction from the connecting end 401 to the engaging end 402 of the snap-fit ​​protrusion is perpendicular to the fastening direction of the cover 20. When the first snap-fit ​​structure 40 and the second snap-fit ​​structure 50 are engaged, the extension direction of the second segment 52 is the same as the direction from the connecting end 401 to the engaging end 402 of the snap-fit ​​protrusion. This arrangement can further improve the stability when the first snap-fit ​​structure 40 and the second snap-fit ​​structure 50 are engaged.

[0041] In this embodiment, the angle a1 between the first snap-fit ​​guide surface 4021 and the snap-fit ​​direction of the cover 20 is smaller than the angle a2 between the second snap-fit ​​guide surface 5021 and the snap-fit ​​direction of the cover 20. This arrangement facilitates the guiding function of the first snap-fit ​​guide surface 4021 and the second snap-fit ​​guide surface 5021 during the snap-fit ​​process of the first snap-fit ​​structure 40 and the second snap-fit ​​structure 50. Figure 5 The direction of the dashed line and the arrow indicates the snapping direction of the cap 20.

[0042] In some embodiments of this solution, the angle between the first snap-fit ​​guide surface 4021 and the snap-fit ​​direction of the cover 20 can be set to 40° to 43°; the angle between the second snap-fit ​​guide surface 5021 and the snap-fit ​​direction of the cover 20 can be set to 43° to 45°.

[0043] Similarly, the angle b1 between the first dismounting guide surface 4022 and the snap-fit ​​direction of the cap 20 is smaller than the angle b2 between the second dismounting guide surface 5022 and the snap-fit ​​direction of the cap 20. This arrangement facilitates the guiding function of the first dismounting guide surface 4022 and the second dismounting guide surface when the first snap-fit ​​structure 40 and the second snap-fit ​​structure 50 are separated. Figure 7 The direction of the dashed line and the arrow indicates the snapping direction of the cap 20.

[0044] The angle between the first unloading guide surface 4022 and the fastening direction of the cover 20 can be set to 30° to 35°; the angle between the second unloading guide surface 5022 and the fastening direction of the cover 20 can be set to 40° to 45°.

[0045] Furthermore, the extension direction of the first segment 51 is the same as the extension direction of the spring arm 30. This arrangement facilitates the design and manufacturing of the first segment 51 and the spring arm 30.

[0046] In this embodiment, the spring arm 30, the first segment 51, and the second segment 52 are integrally formed. This design improves the structural strength of the spring arm 30 and the ease of processing the second snap-fit ​​structure 50.

[0047] Furthermore, the extension direction of the spring arm 30 and the fastening direction of the cover 20 form an angle, and the angle between the extension direction of the spring arm 30 and the fastening direction of the cover 20 is an acute angle. This arrangement facilitates the application of force to the first end of the spring arm 30, making it easier to deform the spring arm 30.

[0048] Furthermore, the mutually compatible first snap-fit ​​structure 40 and second snap-fit ​​structure 50 form a snap-fit ​​assembly. Two spring arms 30 and two snap-fit ​​assemblies are provided, with each spring arm 30 corresponding to a snap-fit ​​assembly. The two spring arms 30 are symmetrically distributed along the fastening direction of the cover 20. The arrangement of two spring arms 30 and two snap-fit ​​assemblies improves the stability and firmness of the connection between the cover 20 and the housing 10. Moreover, this arrangement facilitates the simultaneous application of force to both spring arms 30, enhancing the ease of connecting and disassembling the cover 20 and the housing 10.

[0049] like Figure 3 As shown, specifically, the cover 20 is provided with a through hole 201, through which the spring arm 30 passes. The camera housing also includes a connecting rib 2011, one end of which is connected to the side wall of the through hole 201, and the other end of which is connected to the circumferential surface of the spring arm 30. The design of the connecting rib 2011 allows the spring arm 30 to achieve elastic movement through the flexible deformation of the connecting rib 2011 when subjected to external force. This design makes it easier for the spring arm 30 to deform under force and return to its original shape after the external force disappears, thus improving the elastic performance of the spring arm 30. Furthermore, the connecting rib 2011, as a bridge between the spring arm 30 and the side wall of the through hole 201, can effectively disperse the stress of the spring arm 30 under force, avoiding local deformation or fracture caused by stress concentration, thereby enhancing the stability of the overall structure.

[0050] In this embodiment, the two ends of the connecting rib 2011 are integrally formed and connected to the sides of the housing 10 and the spring arm 30, respectively. The integral forming connection between the connecting rib 2011, the housing 10, and the spring arm 30 eliminates the connection gaps or loosening problems that may exist in traditional assembly, making the overall structure more compact and stable. Furthermore, the integral forming design effectively distributes stress, avoiding structural damage caused by stress concentration at the connection points, and improving the overall strength and durability of the structure.

[0051] Specifically, two connecting ribs 2011 are provided, symmetrically distributed on both sides of the spring arm 30. The distribution direction of the two connecting ribs 2011, and the perpendicular movement direction of the first end of the spring arm 30 when it deforms, ensure that the force on the spring arm 30 is evenly distributed during deformation, preventing skewing or twisting caused by uneven force on one side. Furthermore, the symmetrical distribution of the two connecting ribs 2011 allows the spring arm 30 to maintain balance during deformation, ensuring a more stable and controllable movement trajectory. In addition, the perpendicular distribution direction of the two connecting ribs 2011, and the perpendicular movement direction of the first end of the spring arm 30 when it deforms, help the spring arm 30 quickly return to its original shape after the external force disappears, improving its resilience.

[0052] Furthermore, the camera housing also includes a seal, which is disposed between the housing 10 and the cover 20. When the cover 20 and the housing 10 are fastened together, the seal is annularly positioned on the outside of the mounting area. The seal is used to seal the gap between the cover 20 and the housing 10. The seal improves the sealing performance between the cover 20 and the housing 10, enhances the sealing effect on the mounting area, and reduces the possibility of dust or water droplets entering the mounting area.

[0053] In this embodiment of the solution, the camera housing also includes a guide structure, which is disposed between the housing 10 and the cover 20. The guide structure is used to guide the fastening of the cover 20. The guide structure can improve the positional accuracy of the cover 20 and the housing 10 when they are fastened together, and improve the smoothness and stability of the fastening process.

[0054] like Figure 2 As shown, specifically, the guiding structure includes a guide hole and a guide piece 11 that guide and cooperate with each other. The guide hole is disposed on one of the housing 10 and the cover 20, and the guide piece 11 is disposed on the other of the housing 10 and the cover 20. The arrangement of the guide hole and the guide piece 11 is simple in structure and easy to manufacture. In the embodiment of this solution, the guide piece 11 is disposed on the housing 10.

[0055] Furthermore, the camera housing also includes an interference-fit connecting hole 12 and a connecting post. The connecting hole 12 is disposed on one of the housing 10 and the cover 20, and the connecting post is disposed on the other of the housing 10 and the cover 20. The provision of the connecting hole 12 and the connecting post can further improve the stability of the connection between the cover 20 and the housing 10, and reduce the possibility of accidental separation between the cover 20 and the housing 10. In this embodiment of the solution, the connecting hole 12 is disposed on the housing 10.
