Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of law enforcement recorder technology, and in particular to a law enforcement recorder with an adjustable camera. Background Technology

[0002] Body cameras are essential equipment used by law enforcement officers in their work. Body cameras with adjustable cameras, featuring adjustable angles, focal lengths, and other parameters, allow law enforcement officers to flexibly and accurately acquire the necessary audio and video recordings according to the actual needs of the law enforcement scenario, such as different lighting conditions, shooting distances, and angle requirements. This provides comprehensive, clear, and reliable evidence support for the law enforcement process, ensuring the standardization and impartiality of law enforcement work.

[0003] However, in actual recording work, the following technical problems were found in existing law enforcement recorders:

[0004] Existing law enforcement recorders suffer from limitations in lens protection. Since the lenses are often exposed when not in use, they are susceptible to impacts and scratches, leading to lens wear and affecting image quality. This makes it difficult to maintain optimal working condition over long periods, and they cannot adequately guarantee clear and stable image quality in daily use or complex law enforcement environments. Furthermore, the inability to extend the grip when filming in confined spaces makes it difficult for law enforcement officers to capture crucial footage, severely limiting the filming range and significantly reducing applicability in complex environments. This can easily result in the loss of critical evidence and compromise the comprehensiveness of the law enforcement record.

[0005] In response to this technical problem, this application proposes a law enforcement recorder with an adjustable camera. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing recorders that lack lens protection structures, making the lenses easily damaged and unable to be extended for grip. The invention proposes a law enforcement recorder with an adjustable camera that effectively protects the lens when not in use, significantly reducing the likelihood of lens damage and ensuring clear image quality. Furthermore, it overcomes the limitations of narrow spaces, allowing for extended grip to expand the shooting range, enhancing its applicability in complex environments, and ensuring comprehensive law enforcement recording and the omission of crucial evidence.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0008] A law enforcement recorder with an adjustable camera includes a main body, a camera module rotatably connected to the top of the main body, limit grooves on the right ends of both the front and rear sides of the main body, a cover plate connected to the limit groove via a slider, a limit plate connected to the main body via a positioning component, and the limit plate connected to the cover plate via a connecting component, a mounting groove in the middle of the rear side of the main body, a mounting base detachably connected to the inner wall of the mounting groove, a fixing plate rotatably connected to the rear side of the mounting base, a clamping plate rotatably connected to the middle of the rear side of the fixing plate, an extension plate slidably connected to the inner wall of the clamping plate, and buttons on both the left and right sides of the main body.

[0009] Furthermore, positioning holes are provided at both the top and bottom ends of the left side of the inner wall of the first fixed plate. The bottom end of the inner wall of the extension plate is fixedly connected to the second fixed plate. The bottom end of the inner wall of the extension plate is slidably connected to the slide block. The top middle end of the slide block is fixedly connected to the fixing rod. The fixing rod passes through the second fixed plate and is slidably connected to it. The fixing rod is connected to the positioning hole through a rotating component. A spring is provided at the bottom outer end of the fixing rod. A protrusion is fixedly connected to the front side of the slide block.

[0010] Furthermore, the positioning component includes a screw hole and a positioning bolt. The screw hole is located at the top left side of the main body, the positioning bolt is threadedly connected to the screw hole, and the positioning bolt is detachably connected to the limiting plate.

[0011] Furthermore, the connecting assembly includes a groove and a fixing block. The groove is formed at the top of the front and rear sides of the outer wall of the cover plate, and the fixing block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the front and rear sides of the inner wall of the limiting plate. The groove and the fixing block are detachably connected.

[0012] Furthermore, the rotating assembly includes a connecting rod, which is rotatably connected to the top of the inner wall of the extension plate. The left end of the connecting rod is rotatably connected to the top of the fixed rod, and the right end of the connecting rod is fixedly connected to an insert rod, which penetrates the inner wall of the extension plate and is detachably connected to a positioning hole.

[0013] Furthermore, the protrusion extends through the front side of the extension plate and is slidably connected thereto.

[0014] Furthermore, a display module is provided at the bottom rear side of the main body.

[0015] Furthermore, teeth are fixedly connected to one side of the clamping plate and the fixing plate.

[0016] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. This utility model effectively protects the lens when it is not in use. Compared with traditional law enforcement recorders, whose lenses are often exposed when not in use and are easily damaged by collisions and scratches, resulting in lens wear and affecting the image quality, this structure greatly reduces the probability of lens damage and ensures that the lens is in good working condition for a long time. Whether carried in daily life or in complex law enforcement environments, it can ensure clear and stable image quality and provide high-quality video evidence for law enforcement work.

[0018] 2. This utility model achieves a breakthrough in overcoming the limitations of narrow spaces. Compared to traditional law enforcement recorders, which often make it difficult for law enforcement officers to obtain key images when shooting in narrow areas due to the inability to extend the grip, this structure can expand the shooting range, allowing law enforcement officers to easily reach areas that were previously difficult to shoot. This greatly enhances the applicability of law enforcement recorders in complex environments, effectively ensuring comprehensive recording of law enforcement work and preventing any key evidence from being missed.

[0026] 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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] Reference Figures 1-3 An embodiment of this utility model provides: a law enforcement recorder with an adjustable camera, including a main body 1, a camera module 2 rotatably connected to the top of the main body 1, a limit groove 3 on the right end of both the front and rear sides of the main body 1, a cover plate 5 connected to the limit groove 3 via a slider 4, a limit plate 7 connected to the main body 1 via a positioning component 6, and a connection component 8 connecting the limit plate 7 to the cover plate 5, an installation groove 9 in the middle of the rear side of the main body 1, a mounting base 10 detachably connected to the inner wall of the installation groove 9, a fixing plate 11 rotatably connected to the rear side of the mounting base 10, a clamping plate 12 rotatably connected to the middle of the rear side of the fixing plate 11, an extension plate 14 slidably connected to the inner wall of the clamping plate 12, and buttons 22 on both the left and right sides of the main body 1.

[0028] Specifically, limit grooves 3 are provided on the front and rear right ends of the main body 1, which are connected to the cover plate 5 via sliders 4. When the recorder is not in use, the cover plate 5 can be pushed so that it slides upward along the limit grooves 3 to the top via the sliders 4. Then, the cover plate 5 is rotated so that its inner wall fits tightly against the top side of the main body 1. At this time, the fixing blocks 802 at the bottom of the front and rear sides of the inner wall of the limit plate 7 are aligned with the grooves 801 at the top of the front and rear sides of the outer wall of the cover plate 5 and they are engaged to complete the initial limit. Next, the positioning bolts 602 are rotated to further tighten it and ensure that the limit plate 7 is firmly fixed. At this time, the inner wall of the limit plate 7 fits tightly against the outer wall of the cover plate 5, effectively preventing the cover plate 5 from rotating, thereby achieving proper protection of the camera module 2 and avoiding damage such as collisions and scratches when it is not in use.

[0029] When law enforcement officers need to carry the body camera, the tight fit between the cover plate 5 and the limiting plate 7 prevents the camera module 2 from shaking or shifting, avoiding friction with other objects. This allows officers to carry it with greater confidence in their backpacks or other containers. From a safety perspective, this effectively prevents the camera module 2 from being damaged by external factors when not in use, ensuring that it can function normally when needed, providing a stable and reliable recording function for law enforcement work.

[0030] Reference Figures 3-5Positioning holes 17 are provided at both the top and bottom ends of the left side of the inner wall of the first fixed plate 11. The bottom end of the inner wall of the extension plate 14 is fixedly connected to the second fixed plate 16. The bottom end of the inner wall of the extension plate 14 is slidably connected to the slide block 15. The top middle end of the slide block 15 is fixedly connected to the fixing rod 18, which passes through the second fixed plate 16 and is slidably connected to it. The fixing rod 18 is connected to the positioning hole 17 through the rotating component 20. A spring 19 is provided at the bottom outer end of the fixing rod 18. A protrusion 21 is fixedly connected to the front side of the slide block 15. The positioning component 6 includes a screw hole 601 and a positioning bolt 602. The screw hole 601 is opened at the top left side of the main body 1. The positioning bolt 602 is threadedly connected to the screw hole 601. The positioning bolt 602 is detachably connected to the limiting plate 7. The connecting component 8 includes a groove 801. The fixing block 802 and the groove 801 are opened at the top of the front and rear sides of the outer wall of the cover plate 5. The fixing block 802 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the front and rear sides of the inner wall of the limiting plate 7. The groove 801 and the fixing block 802 are detachably connected. The rotating component 20 includes a connecting rod 2001, which is rotatably connected to the top of the inner wall of the extension plate 14. The left end of the connecting rod 2001 is rotatably connected to the top of the fixing rod 18. The right end of the connecting rod 2001 is fixedly connected to the insertion rod 2002, which penetrates the inner wall of the extension plate 14 and is detachably connected to the positioning hole 17. The protrusion 21 penetrates the front side of the extension plate 14 and is slidably connected to it. The bottom of the rear side of the main body 1 is provided with a display module 23. The clamping plate 12 and the side of the fixing plate 11 are both fixedly connected with teeth 13.

[0031] Specifically, the clamping plate 12 is rotatably connected to the rear center of the fixing plate 11, and teeth 13 are fixed on the opposite side of the clamping plate 12 and the fixing plate 11. When it is necessary to fix the law enforcement recorder to an object, the teeth 13 can significantly increase the friction with the object surface, ensuring the fixation is firm and effectively freeing the hands of law enforcement officers, allowing them to focus more on performing law enforcement tasks. Buttons 22 are provided on the left and right sides of the main body 1 for convenient operation by law enforcement officers, enabling quick access to commonly used functions such as start, pause, and photo taking, improving the efficiency of law enforcement recording. A display module 23 is provided at the rear bottom of the main body 1, allowing law enforcement officers to view the device's working status, shooting images, and other key information in real time through the display module 23, ensuring that the device is operating normally and the shooting content is accurate.

[0032] The inner wall of the clamping plate 12 is slidably connected to the extension plate 14, providing a unique and efficient solution for shooting in narrow areas where handheld law enforcement recorders are inconvenient to operate. Law enforcement officers simply push the protrusion 21 upwards, which in turn moves the slide 15 upwards, causing the fixing rod 18 to move upwards. During this process, the movement of the fixing rod 18 causes the connecting rod 2001 to rotate, allowing the insertion rod 2002 to slide out of the positioning hole 17 at the top of the inner wall of the fixing plate 11. At this point, the law enforcement officer can smoothly slide the extension plate 14 until it reaches the bottom of the fixing plate 11. Subsequently, because the slide 15 compressed the spring 19 when it moved upwards, the spring 19 releases its compression reaction force, pushing the slide 15 downwards to reset, which in turn causes the connecting rod 2001 to rotate in the opposite direction and reset, allowing the insertion rod 2002 to accurately slide into the positioning hole 17 at the bottom of the inner wall of the fixing plate 11. This achieves stable extension and fixation of the extension plate 14, successfully overcoming the limitations of shooting in narrow areas and greatly expanding the shooting range. This design significantly enhances the applicability of law enforcement recorders in various environments, enabling them to capture crucial evidence that was previously difficult to obtain, even in confined spaces such as pipes and crevices. Furthermore, the extension plate 14 is easy to operate, requiring no additional tools, allowing law enforcement officers to react quickly in emergencies. This is crucial for timely recording of the scene and preventing the loss of evidence. In addition, the stability of this structure ensures that the image will not shake or shift during extended shooting, further improving the quality of the captured video data and providing more comprehensive and powerful support for law enforcement work.

[0033] Working principle: When the recorder is not in use, the cover plate 5 can be slid up to the top along the limiting groove 3 and rotated so that its inner wall fits against the top side of the main body 1. The camera module 2 is protected by the engagement of the fixing block 802 of the limiting plate 7 with the groove 801 of the cover plate 5 and the fastening of the positioning bolt 602. When the recorder needs to be fixed, the teeth 13 of the clamping plate 12 and the fixing plate 11 increase the friction with the object surface. To shoot in a narrow area, push the protrusion 21 upward to move the slide 15 and the fixing rod 18, so that the insertion rod 2002 slides out from the positioning hole 17 at the top of the inner wall of the fixing plate 11 and slides the extension plate 14 to the bottom of the fixing plate 11. The spring 19's reaction force makes the insertion rod 2002 slide into the positioning hole 17 at the bottom of the inner wall of the fixing plate 11 to fix the extension plate 14. At the same time, the buttons 22 on the left and right sides of the main body 1 facilitate the operation of functions such as start, pause, and take pictures. The display module 23 at the bottom of the rear is used to view the working status of the device and the shooting screen in real time.
