Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of photographic equipment technology, and relates to an auxiliary time-lapse photography device based on infrared triggering. Background Technology

[0002] Photography is the art and science of creating images by capturing light and recording it on a medium. It typically involves the use of devices such as cameras, lenses, film, or digital sensors. Photography can be used for a variety of purposes, including recording events, expressing artistic ideas, conducting scientific research, and public awareness. Time-lapse photography, a technique that combines multiple photographs taken at intervals into a video, is widely used for recording natural landscapes, astronomical phenomena, construction processes, and other scenes.

[0003] When using the above technology, the following technical problems were found in the existing technology: Traditional time-lapse photography devices mostly rely on timers or manual triggering. Timers can only shoot according to preset time intervals and cannot be adjusted according to the actual movement of objects. If the timer cannot be automatically triggered according to the movement of objects, it will cause key moments to be missed. For example, when shooting wild animals, the timer may miss the key moments of animal activity. At the same time, traditional devices mostly rely on a single power supply mode (such as batteries), which has limited battery life. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is that traditional time-lapse photography devices mostly rely on timers or manual triggering. Timers can only shoot according to preset time intervals and cannot be adjusted according to the actual movement of the object. If the timer cannot automatically trigger according to the movement of the object, it will cause the key moment to be missed. For example, when shooting wild animals, the timer may miss the key moment of the animal's activity. At the same time, traditional devices mostly rely on a single power supply mode (such as battery), which has limited battery life.

[0005] The present invention discloses an infrared-triggered auxiliary time-lapse photography device, comprising a circuit board. One end of the circuit board is electrically connected to an infrared transmitter and an infrared receiver. An infrared sensitivity adjuster is mounted on the top of the circuit board, located next to the infrared transmitter. A signal processing module is disposed on the circuit board, and a signal processor is mounted in the middle of the circuit board. A Type-C port is mounted on the end of the circuit board away from the signal processor. Four LED indicators are mounted on the circuit board and electrically connected to the circuit board near the Type-C port. Electrode interface one and electrode interface two are symmetrically mounted at both ends of the circuit board, respectively. A battery power supply assembly is mounted on the bottom of the circuit board, and a trigger indicator light is mounted on the circuit board.

[0006] The signal processing module includes a signal processing chip and an optocoupler. There are two signal processing chips, and the two signal processing chips and the optocoupler are mounted on the same circuit board.

[0007] The battery power supply assembly includes a battery mounting box, the top of which is snapped onto the bottom of the circuit board. Two electrode plates are symmetrically installed inside the battery mounting box, and the tops of the two electrode plates are respectively connected to electrode interface one and electrode interface two.

[0008] The infrared sensitivity adjuster allows for adjustment of infrared recognition sensitivity by rotating the adjustment knob, adapting to objects with different reflective properties.

[0009] The signal processing chip converts the optical signal into an initial electrical signal, and the optocoupler effectively isolates environmental noise to ensure stable signal transmission.

[0010] The circuit board has two mounting holes symmetrically installed at both ends, and the mounting holes are provided with threaded grooves.

[0011] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are: it monitors the entry of objects into the monitoring area in real time through an infrared transmitter and receiver. Once the infrared signal reflected by the object is captured by the receiver, the camera shutter is triggered. This triggering method is more intelligent and flexible than a timer because it can trigger the shooting based on the actual movement of the object, ensuring that key moments are not missed. Compared with traditional manual or timer-triggered methods, this device greatly simplifies the photography process and improves shooting efficiency. Users do not need to manually adjust the timer or frequently trigger the shutter; they only need to set up the device and place it in a suitable position, making the device more flexible to meet different shooting needs.

[0012] The device can be powered via a Type-C connector or, when necessary, by using the battery-powered assembly at the bottom. This flexible power supply ensures the device's reliability and durability in various environments. For example, in outdoor shooting, the battery mode provides extended battery life, and the LED battery indicator makes it easy to replace the battery in a timely manner. Attached Figure Description

[0023] Example 1

[0024] like Figures 1-4As shown, an infrared-triggered auxiliary time-lapse photography device includes a circuit board 1. One end of the circuit board 1 is electrically connected to an infrared transmitter 2 and an infrared receiver 3. An infrared sensitivity adjuster 4 is installed on the top of the circuit board 1 and is located on the side of the infrared transmitter 2. A signal processing module is provided on the circuit board 1. A signal processor 5 is installed in the middle of the circuit board 1. The interface of the signal processor 5 is compatible with mainstream camera shutter release cables. A Type-C port 8 is installed at the end of the circuit board 1 away from the signal processor 5. Four LED indicator lights 9 are installed on the circuit board 1 and are electrically connected to the circuit board 1 near the Type-C port 8. A power supply (such as an adapter) is connected through the Type-C port 8. Electrode interface 10 and electrode interface 2 11 are symmetrically installed at both ends of the circuit board 1. A battery power supply component is installed at the bottom of the circuit board 1. A trigger indicator light 6 is installed on the circuit board 1. When the infrared receiver 3 detects a signal, the trigger indicator light 6 lights up red and turns off when no signal is detected, providing intuitive feedback on the working status.

[0025] The signal processing module includes a signal processing chip 7 and an optocoupler 15. There are two signal processing chips 7, and the two signal processing chips 7 and the optocoupler 15 are mounted on the same circuit board 1. The optocoupler 15 isolates noise and ensures signal stability. The signal processing chip 7 converts the optical signal into an initial electrical signal, and the optocoupler 15 effectively isolates environmental noise and ensures stable signal transmission.

[0026] During operation, infrared transmitter 2 emits infrared rays. When an object enters the monitoring area, the reflected signal is sent to infrared receiver 3. Infrared receiver 3 converts the light signal into an initial electrical signal through signal processing chip 7. After the optocoupler 15 processes and eliminates interference, the signal processor 5 converts the initial electrical signal into a standard electrical signal. Finally, the electrical signal is transmitted to the camera shutter interface to trigger the camera to take a picture. The time delay function is implemented through the camera's internal settings.

[0027] The infrared transmitter 2 and infrared receiver 3 monitor the entry of objects into the monitoring area in real time. Once the infrared signal reflected by the object is captured by the receiver, the camera shutter is triggered. This triggering method is more intelligent and flexible than a timer because it can trigger the shooting based on the actual movement of the object, ensuring that key moments are not missed. Compared with traditional manual or timer triggering methods, this device greatly simplifies the photography operation process and improves shooting efficiency. Users do not need to manually adjust the timer or frequently trigger the shutter; they only need to set up the device and place it in a suitable position, making the device more flexible to meet different shooting needs.

[0028] Example 2

[0029] like Figures 1-4As shown, the battery power supply assembly includes a battery mounting box 12. The top of the battery mounting box 12 is snapped onto the bottom of the circuit board 1. Two electrode plates 13 are symmetrically installed inside the battery mounting box 12. The tops of the two electrode plates 13 are respectively connected to electrode interface 10 and electrode interface 11. One to two 18650 batteries can be installed inside the battery mounting box 12, and the battery life is about 8 to 12 hours.

[0030] The power supply section provides power for the operation of the device. There are two power supply modes: direct power mode and battery mode. When using direct power mode, simply insert the external adapter Type-C connector into Type-C port 8.

[0031] When using battery mode, first connect the two electrode plates 13 to electrode interface 10 and electrode interface 2 11, then install the 18650 battery in the battery mounting box 12 so that the positive and negative terminals of the battery are connected to the electrode plates 13, which can then power the device. In battery mode, the four LED indicator lights 9 show the remaining power (e.g., if three lights are lit, it means the power is 75%).

[0032] The device can be powered via a Type-C port 8 or, when necessary, by using the battery-powered assembly at the bottom. This flexible power supply ensures the device's reliability and durability in different environments. For example, in outdoor shooting, the battery mode provides long-lasting power, and the LED battery indicator makes it easy to replace the battery in a timely manner.

[0033] The infrared sensitivity adjuster 4 adjusts the infrared recognition sensitivity by rotating the adjustment knob to adapt to objects with different reflective characteristics. The sensitivity is adjusted by rotating the adjustment knob on the infrared sensitivity adjuster 4: clockwise to increase (suitable for objects with weak reflectivity), counterclockwise to decrease (avoiding false triggering). For example, dark or rough-surfaced objects have weak reflectivity and the sensitivity needs to be increased to ensure signal reception.

[0034] The circuit board 1 has two mounting holes 14 symmetrically installed at both ends, and the mounting holes 14 have threaded grooves. The entire device can be installed by threading external bolts into the two mounting holes 14.

[0035] The preferred embodiments of this utility model disclosed above are merely illustrative of the present utility model. These preferred embodiments do not exhaustively describe all details, nor do they limit the present utility model to the specific implementations described. Clearly, many modifications and variations can be made based on the content of this specification. This specification selects and specifically describes these embodiments to better explain the principles and practical applications of the present utility model, thereby enabling those skilled in the art to better understand and utilize it. The present utility model is limited only by the claims and their full scope and equivalents.
