[0058] While existing point-and-shoot cameras have advantages such as portability and slimness, they are often damaged by moisture when used outdoors or in humid environments, which can cause short circuits and other problems.

[0059] The main solution of this application embodiment is: by forming a cavity inside the housing, placing the power plug in the cavity of the housing, and finally placing a waterproof component on the power plug, the water can be prevented from seeping into the housing through the power plug when the power cord is plugged in.

[0060] This application provides a solution that achieves waterproofing by designing a waterproof structure, enabling the compact camera to be effectively waterproofed when exposed to water, protecting the internal circuitry from damage, thereby improving the safety and lifespan of the compact camera.

[0061] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment of this utility model, the card camera includes a housing 10, a power socket 20, and a waterproof component 30, wherein:

[0062] The interior of the housing 10 forms a cavity; the power socket 20 is disposed in the cavity of the housing 10, and the power socket 20 is used to connect the power cord 40; the waterproof component 30 is disposed on the power socket 20 to prevent moisture from seeping into the housing 10 through the power socket 20.

[0063] The housing 10 refers to the external structure of the compact camera, typically made of plastic, metal, or other waterproof materials to protect the internal components from external environmental influences. A cavity is formed inside the housing 10 to house various components of the compact camera, including but not limited to the circuit board 60, battery, and lens. The cavity design allows these components to be installed systematically inside the camera while providing sufficient space for heat dissipation and preventing interference between components.

[0064] The power connector 20 is used to connect an external power cord 40 to provide power to the compact camera. The power connector 20 is designed within the cavity of the housing 10, avoiding direct exposure to the external environment and reducing the chance of direct contact with moisture. When the power cord 40 is plugged in, the power connector 20 provides a secure connection, ensuring stable and safe power transmission. The power connector 20 can be designed as a Type-C, Micro USB, or other type of interface to accommodate the connection requirements of different power cords 40.

[0065] The waterproof component 30 is a crucial part of the compact camera. Its main function is to prevent moisture from seeping into the housing 10 through the power connector 20, thus protecting the internal components of the camera from moisture damage. The waterproof component 30 can be made of waterproof materials such as silicone, rubber, or other elastic materials. These materials have good sealing and corrosion resistance, effectively preventing moisture intrusion. The design shape and size of the waterproof component 30 should match the power connector 20 so that it fits tightly around the power connector 20, forming an effective waterproof barrier. After the power cord 40 is plugged into the power connector 20, it prevents moisture from seeping in through gaps, thereby protecting the internal circuitry of the compact camera from damage.

[0066] This embodiment forms a cavity inside the housing 10, places the power socket 20 in the cavity of the housing 10, and finally places the waterproof component 30 on the power socket 20. This prevents moisture from seeping into the housing 10 through the power socket 20 when the power cord 40 is plugged into the power socket 20. By designing a waterproof structure, a waterproof effect is achieved, enabling the card camera to be effectively waterproofed when exposed to water, protecting the internal circuitry from damage, thereby improving the safety and service life of the card camera.

[0067] Optionally, refer to Figure 3 Another embodiment of this utility model provides a card-type printer, based on the above... Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the embodiment shown, the waterproof component 30 includes a waterproof inner shell 31 and a waterproof outer shell 32, wherein:

[0068] The waterproof inner shell 31 is fixedly connected to the cavity of the shell 10; the waterproof outer shell 32 is disposed on the inner side of the waterproof inner shell 31, and the waterproof outer shell 32 is provided with a waterproof baffle 33 on the side away from the waterproof inner shell 31. The waterproof baffle 33 is used to prevent external moisture from entering the shell 10 through the power plug interface 20 when the power cord 40 is plugged into the power plug interface 20.

[0069] The waterproof inner shell 31 is fixedly connected to the cavity of the outer shell 10, forming a waterproof barrier inside the card camera, which can be like... Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the waterproof inner shell 31 has corresponding connecting ears on both sides, which are fixed to the cavity wall of the housing 10 by screws to ensure the stability of the waterproof inner shell 31. The waterproof inner shell 31 is made of waterproof material, such as silicone or rubber, to enhance its waterproof performance. The design shape and size of the waterproof inner shell 31 match the power socket 20, ensuring that when the power cord 40 is plugged into the power socket 20, the waterproof inner shell 31 can tightly fit the connection part of the power cord 40 and the power socket 20 to form an effective waterproof layer.

[0070] A waterproof outer shell 32 is located on the inner side of the waterproof inner shell 31, designed to enhance waterproofing. The waterproof outer shell 32 is also made of waterproof material, and its inner surface has a waterproof strip 33. The shape of the waterproof strip 33 is adapted to the connector of the power cord 40, and the inner diameter of the waterproof strip 33 is smaller than the outer diameter of the connector of the power cord 40, so that the power cord 40 and the waterproof strip 33 have an interference fit. When the power cord 40 is plugged into the power socket 20, the waterproof strip 33 can fit tightly around the power cord 40, forming an additional waterproof barrier, effectively preventing external moisture from seeping into the interior of the shell 10 through the power socket 20. The waterproof strip 33 not only improves the waterproof performance of the compact camera but also ensures the stability and safety of the power cord 40 during insertion.

[0071] With the dual protection of the waterproof inner shell 31 and the waterproof outer shell 32, as well as the sealing effect of the waterproof strip 33, the card camera in this embodiment can effectively prevent the intrusion of external moisture and protect the internal circuitry of the card camera from damage when the power cord 40 is plugged into the power socket 20.

[0072] Optionally, refer to Figure 4 Another embodiment of this utility model provides a card-type printer, based on the above... Figure 3 In the embodiment shown, the waterproof component 30 further includes a fixing component 34 and a first through hole 35, wherein:

[0073] The fastener 34 is fixedly connected to the waterproof outer shell 32; the waterproof inner shell 31 is provided with a first through hole 35 for the fastener 34 to pass through, and the inner diameter of the first through hole 35 is smaller than the outer diameter of the fastener 34.

[0074] Fastener 34 Figure 4 The two antenna-like objects, resembling the waterproof outer shell 32, have a larger diameter at their connection point with the waterproof outer shell 32 compared to the inner diameter of the first through hole 35. During installation, the installer must forcefully insert the fastener 34 through the first through hole 35 into the cavity of the housing 10 until it is fully inserted and fixedly connected to the waterproof outer shell 32. This design ensures that the waterproof outer shell 32 is tightly secured to the housing 10 via the waterproof inner shell 31, preventing loosening or detachment during use. Furthermore, because the outer diameter of the fastener 34 is larger than the inner diameter of the first through hole 35, a certain degree of compression deformation occurs as the fastener 34 passes through the first through hole 35. This deformation creates a tight fit between the fastener 34 and the first through hole 35, enhancing the waterproof performance of the waterproof component 30.

[0075] The fastener 34 can be made of silicone or other elastic materials to ensure that it maintains a certain degree of elasticity and sealing during installation and use. The fastener 34 can be integrally molded into the waterproof shell 32 or separately molded from the waterproof shell 32 and then fixedly connected by means of adhesive, snap-fit, etc.

[0076] It is important to understand that since point-and-shoot cameras often require memory cards to store image data, this creates a connection to the outside world, leading to a decrease in waterproof performance. Furthermore, during operation, point-and-shoot cameras may experience crashes or freezes due to various reasons, necessitating a switch to force a hardware restart. Both the storage and switch designs require the circuit board 60 to be directly connected to the external environment for user operation. However, if the circuit board 60 is connected to the external environment, its waterproof performance will often decrease, causing unnecessary moisture infiltration and damage.

[0077] To solve the above problems, refer to Figure 5 Another embodiment of this utility model provides a card-type printer, based on the above... Figure 1 and Figure 2 The illustrated embodiment also includes a waterproof cap 50, a circuit board 60, a card slot 61, and a button 62, wherein:

[0078] The waterproof cap 50 is disposed on the side of the housing 10; the circuit board 60 is disposed in the cavity of the housing 10, and the circuit board 60 has a first side and a second side opposite to each other; the card slot 61 is disposed on the first side of the circuit board 60; the button 62 is disposed on the second side of the circuit board 60; the housing 10 has a first groove 11 for inserting a card into the card slot 61 and for operating the button 62; the waterproof cap 50 is disposed on the first groove 11 to prevent moisture from seeping into the circuit board 60 through the card slot 61 or the button 62.

[0079] The waterproof cover 50, also known as a dust cover, is designed to protect the internal circuit board 60 of the card camera from moisture and dust. The waterproof cover 50 is typically made of waterproof materials such as silicone or rubber, which offer excellent sealing and corrosion resistance, effectively preventing the intrusion of moisture and dust. The shape and size of the waterproof cover 50 match the first groove 11 on the housing 10, ensuring a tight fit at the opening of the first groove 11, forming an effective waterproof barrier. When a card needs to be inserted into the card slot 61 or the button 62 needs to be operated, the user can open the waterproof cover 50, complete the operation, and then close the cover to maintain the card camera's waterproof performance.

[0080] The circuit board 60 is one of the core components of the compact camera, responsible for controlling its various functions. A card slot 61 is located on the first side of the circuit board 60 for inserting a memory card, facilitating the storage and retrieval of image data. A button 62 is located on the second side of the circuit board 60, used for functions such as forced hardware restart, ensuring the compact camera can resume normal operation in case of crashes or freezes. The design of the card slot 61 and button 62 allows for convenient operation of the compact camera, but also presents a challenge in terms of waterproofing. By using a waterproof cap 50, the compact camera in this embodiment effectively improves waterproofing while maintaining user convenience, protecting the circuit board 60 from moisture and dust.

[0081] Furthermore, the design of the first groove 11 on the housing 10 also takes waterproof performance into consideration. The opening size of the first groove 11 is slightly larger than the size of the card slot 61 and the button 62 to ensure that the card slot 61 can smoothly insert the card and the button 62 can be operated normally. In addition, the depth of the first groove 11 has also been carefully calculated to ensure that after the waterproof cap 50 is applied, it can form a sufficient waterproof barrier to prevent moisture from seeping in from the gaps.

[0082] Optionally, refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 In another embodiment of this utility model, a card-type printer is provided, based on the above... Figure 5 In the illustrated embodiment, the compact camera also includes a faceplate 70, wherein:

[0083] The faceplate 70 covers the housing 10 to form a sealed space between the faceplate 70 and the housing 10. The power plug 20, the circuit board 60, the card slot 61 and the button 62 are housed in the sealed space.

[0084] The front cover 70 is an external decorative and protective layer applied to the surface of the housing 10, typically made of plastic or other lightweight, sturdy, and somewhat flexible materials. The front cover 70 may include a cover over the circuit board 60 and a transparent cover in front of the camera to provide additional protection for the internal components of the compact camera and enhance its aesthetics. The front cover 70 is securely connected to the housing 10 by snaps, screws, or other fastening methods to ensure that it will not loosen or detach during use. The inner surface of the front cover 70 fits tightly against the outer surface of the housing 10, forming an effective waterproof barrier that prevents external moisture from seeping into the interior of the compact camera through gaps. This design not only protects internal components such as the circuit board 60, card slot 61, and buttons 62 from moisture damage.

[0085] After the front cover 70 is placed on the housing 10, components such as the power connector 20, circuit board 60, card slot 61, and button 62 are all housed in the sealed space formed between the front cover 70 and the housing 10, thereby improving the waterproof and dustproof performance of the compact camera. This design effectively protects the internal components from damage when facing harsh environments, extending the lifespan of the compact camera.

[0086] Optionally, refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 Another embodiment of this utility model provides a card-type printer, based on the above... Figure 6 and Figure 7 In the embodiment shown, the faceplate 70 has a waterproof groove 71 on the circumferential side near the housing 10, and the housing 10 has a waterproof protrusion 12 on the side near the faceplate 70.

[0087] The waterproof groove 71 matches the waterproof protrusion 12, which engages with the waterproof groove 71 to increase the seal between the faceplate 70 and the housing 10. The shape and size of the waterproof groove 71 and the waterproof protrusion 12 are carefully calculated to ensure that when the faceplate 70 is placed on the housing 10, the waterproof protrusion 12 engages tightly with the waterproof groove 71, forming an additional waterproof barrier. This design further improves the waterproof performance of the compact camera, enabling it to more effectively protect internal components from damage when exposed to moisture.

[0088] The waterproof groove 71 and waterproof protrusion 12 are typically made of the same material as the faceplate 70 and housing 10 to ensure compatibility and stability. During installation, the installer must ensure that the waterproof protrusion 12 is fully engaged in the waterproof groove 71 to avoid gaps or loosening. This design not only improves the waterproof performance of the compact camera but also enhances the connection stability between the faceplate 70 and housing 10, making the compact camera more durable and reliable during use.

[0089] Optionally, the card reader further includes a sealing ring 80, wherein:

[0090] The sealing ring 80 is disposed in the waterproof groove 71 of the face shell 70; when the face shell 70 is covered onto the housing 10, the waterproof protrusion 12 pushes the sealing ring 80 into the waterproof groove 71 to prevent moisture from seeping in through the connection between the face shell 70 and the housing 10.

[0091] The sealing ring 80 is typically made of an elastic material, such as silicone or rubber, offering excellent sealing and corrosion resistance. The design shape and size of the sealing ring 80 match the waterproof groove 71 to ensure a tight fit within the groove when the faceplate 70 is placed on the housing 10, forming an effective waterproof barrier. When the waterproof protrusion 12 engages with the waterproof groove 71, it pushes the sealing ring 80 further into the groove, enhancing the seal between the faceplate 70 and the housing 10 and effectively preventing external moisture from seeping into the camera's interior through the connection. This design not only improves the camera's waterproof performance but also ensures a secure connection between the faceplate 70 and the housing 10, enabling the camera to more reliably protect internal components from damage in harsh environments. Through the combined use of the waterproof groove 71, the waterproof protrusion 12, and the sealing ring 80, the waterproof performance of the camera in this embodiment is effectively improved, providing users with a safer and more reliable user experience.

[0092] Optionally, refer to Figure 10 Another embodiment of this utility model provides a card-type printer, based on the above... Figures 1 to 9 In any of the embodiments shown, the card camera further includes a base 90 and a rotating member 100, wherein:

[0104] The speaker 110 and the speaker mounting groove 120 are fitted together. The speaker mounting groove 120 is provided with a waterproof protrusion 12. The waterproof protrusion 12 is used to fit together with the speaker 110 to form a sealed and waterproof structure.

[0105] The speaker 110 is a crucial component of the compact camera, used for outputting sound, such as shutter sounds during shooting, focus prompts, and audio during video playback. As the sound transmission channel, completely sealing the housing 10 could prevent sound from propagating properly. To balance waterproofing and sound transmission, this embodiment incorporates a speaker mounting groove 120 within the cavity of the housing 10, with the speaker 110 fitted snugly into it. The shape and size of the speaker mounting groove 120 match the speaker 110, ensuring a stable and secure installation without loosening or detachment. Waterproof protrusions 12 surround the speaker mounting groove 120, forming an effective waterproof barrier that prevents moisture from seeping into the camera's interior. This design not only protects internal components like the circuit board 60 from moisture but also ensures the speaker 110 can output sound normally, improving the camera's usability and user experience.

[0106] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the description and drawings of this utility model, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
