Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of camera accessory technology, and in particular to a cover plate mechanism with waterproof function and a camera. Background Technology

[0002] Due to the rapid pace of technological advancements in consumer electronics, many products, especially outdoor devices like action cameras and surveillance cameras, require waterproofing, specifically for input terminals such as buttons, charging ports, and memory card slots. Since these input terminals are directly connected to the control board and need to be exposed for operation, water ingress can cause short circuits or even damage. Current technology typically involves detachable waterproof gaskets around the charging and memory card slots to seal them. However, this design offers limited waterproofing; in environments with high water content, water can easily seep into the electronic device, causing short circuits or even damage. Furthermore, the gaskets are prone to detaching from the charging and memory card slots, affecting the camera's waterproof performance. Therefore, this paper proposes a waterproof cover mechanism and camera to address these issues. Utility Model Content

The sealing plate assembly 14 is fixedly disposed on the other side of the connecting plate assembly 11 relative to the sliding cover 12, and can perform a tight sealing operation on the charging interface and / or the memory card interface.

[0030] Please see Figures 1-5 As shown, in this embodiment, the connecting plate assembly 11 includes a connecting shaft 111 and a connecting plate body 112. The connecting shaft 111 is disposed on the side of the charging interface and / or memory card interface on the camera body. The connecting plate body 112 is rotatably connected to the connecting shaft 111, and it rotates relative to the camera body through the connecting shaft 111. Specifically, a connecting sleeve 1121 is provided on one side of the connecting plate body 112, and the connecting sleeve 1121 is rotatably disposed on the connecting shaft 111. Guide strips 1122 are respectively provided on opposite sides of the connecting plate body 112, and the opposite ends of the sliding cover 12 are slidably disposed on the corresponding guide strips 1122. The two guide strips 1122 guide the movement of the sliding cover 12, thereby enabling the sliding cover 12 to slide relative to the connecting plate body 112. A locking hole is provided through the guide strip 1122. 1123, the locking block assembly 13 can be engaged with the side wall of the sliding cover plate 12 through the locking hole 1123, thereby realizing the fixed connection between the connecting plate body 112 and the sliding cover plate 12; the connecting plate body 112 is provided with a limiting locking strip 1124, which can contact and engage with the sliding cover plate 12, thereby limiting the movement of the sliding cover plate 12; a connecting buckle 1125 is provided on one end of the connecting plate body 112 relative to the connecting sleeve 1121, and the connecting buckle 1125 is detachably engaged with the sealing plate assembly 14.

[0031] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, in this embodiment, guide grooves 121 are respectively provided on the opposite side walls of the sliding cover plate 12. The two guide grooves 121 are slidably disposed on the corresponding guide bars 1122. The guide grooves 121 and the guide bars 1122 cooperate to guide the movement of the sliding cover plate 12. A locking cavity 122 is provided in one of the guide grooves 121. The locking block assembly 13 can be detachably locked with the locking cavity 122 through the locking hole 1123 to realize the fixed connection between the connecting plate assembly 11 and the sliding cover plate 12. A through hole 123 is provided through the sliding cover plate 12. The locking block assembly 13 moves through the sliding cover plate 12 through the through hole 123. A first locking block 124 and a second locking block 125 are respectively provided on opposite ends of the cover plate 12. The first locking block 124 and the second locking block 125 are detachably locked onto the camera body. A limit block 126 is fixedly provided in the sliding cover plate 12. The limit strip 1124 can contact and connect with the limit block 126. The movement of the sliding cover plate 12 is limited by the cooperation of the limit strip 1124 and the limit block 126, thereby preventing the sliding cover plate 12 from falling off the connecting plate body 112. A plurality of fixing holes 127 are also provided through the sliding cover plate 12. The locking block assembly 13 is connected to the sliding cover plate 12 through the plurality of fixing holes 127.

[0032] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the locking block assembly 13 includes a locking block 131, a fixing plate 132, and an elastic element 133. The locking block 131 movably passes through the sliding cover plate 12 via a through hole 123. The fixing plate 132 is disposed below the locking block 131 and is fixedly disposed on the sliding cover plate 12 via multiple fixing holes 127. The elastic element 133 is disposed between the inner wall of the sliding cover plate 12 and the locking block 131, providing a force to the locking block 131, thereby fixing the locking block 131 into the locking cavity 122. Specifically, the elastic element 133 is a spring.

[0033] Please see Figure 7As shown, specifically, the locking block 131 includes a locking block body 1311, a locking pin 1312, a toggle member 1313, and a connecting post 1314; the locking block body 1311 is movably disposed between the sliding cover plate 12 and the fixed plate 132; the locking pin 1312 and the connecting post 1314 are respectively fixedly disposed at opposite ends of the locking block body 1311, and the locking pin 1312 can engage with the locking cavity 122 through the locking hole 1123, thereby fixing the connecting plate assembly 11 and the sliding cover plate 12 together; one end of the elastic member 133 is provided with... On the connecting post 1314, the actuating element 1313 is fixedly mounted on the block body 1311 and moves through the sliding cover plate 12 via the through hole 123. The through hole 123 guides and limits the movement of the actuating element 1313. The actuating element 1313 moves in the through hole 123 by external force, thereby overcoming the force of the elastic element 133, causing the locking pin 1312 to disengage from the locking cavity 122, thereby enabling the sliding cover plate 12 to move relative to the connecting plate assembly 11, realizing the opening operation of the cover plate mechanism 10.

[0034] Please see Figures 1-4 As shown, in this embodiment, the sealing plate assembly 14 includes a flat plate 141 and a flexible plate 142. The flat plate 141 is made of rigid material and is fixedly connected to the connecting plate body 112 to ensure the flatness of the sealing plate assembly 14. The flexible plate 142 is fixedly disposed on the other side of the flat plate 141 opposite to the connecting plate body 112, and can seal the charging interface and / or memory card interface to achieve waterproofing. Specifically, the flat plate 141 is provided with a connecting hole 1411, and a connecting buckle 1125 extends into the connecting hole 1411. The flexible plate 142 is made of silicone material.

[0035] Please see Figure 8 As shown, this utility model provides a waterproof camera, which includes a cover mechanism 10 as described above. The cover mechanism 10 is detachably and movably disposed on the side of the charging interface and / or the memory card interface.

[0036] It should be noted that the specific working process of the waterproof cover plate mechanism and camera of this utility model is as follows: When the cover plate mechanism 10 needs to seal the charging interface and / or memory card interface, an external force is applied to the sliding cover plate 12, causing the sliding cover plate 12 to move inward relative to the connecting plate body 112. When the locking pin 1312 on the locking block 131 moves to the position of the locking hole 1123, under the action of the elastic member 133, the locking block 131 engages with the locking cavity 123 through the locking hole 1123, so that the connecting plate body 112 and the sliding cover plate 12 are fixedly connected. At this time, the two ends of the sliding cover plate 12 are respectively engaged on the camera body. At the same time, the sealing plate assembly 14 is tightly attached to the charging interface and / or memory card interface, and the connecting plate body 112 cannot rotate relative to the camera body, thereby realizing the sealing operation of the charging interface and / or memory card interface.

[0037] When the cover mechanism 10 needs to be opened from the charging interface and / or memory card interface, an external force acts on the actuating member 1313 to overcome the elastic force of the elastic member 133, causing the actuating member 1313 to move in the through hole 123, so that the locking pin 1312 moves with the movement of the actuating member 1313, thereby disengaging from the locking connection with the locking cavity 123. At this time, the sliding cover 12 can move outward relative to the connecting plate body 112, so that the connecting plate body 112 can rotate relative to the camera body, thereby realizing the opening operation of the plate mechanism 10.

[0038] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0039] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
