[0028] The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of this disclosure may include the following beneficial effects: both the shooting component and the functional component are set on the telescopic component, eliminating the need to assemble and disassemble the shooting component, the functional component and the telescopic component; and the shooting component and the functional component are set separately, avoiding the shooting component and the functional component being concentrated at one end of the telescopic component, reducing the overall size of the shooting device in the storage state, and making it easier to store.

[0029] It should be understood that the above general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only, and are not intended to limit this disclosure. Attached Figure Description

[0038] Figure 8 This is a partial schematic diagram of a shooting device according to an exemplary embodiment. Detailed Implementation

[0039] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numerals in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0040] In related technologies, the camera and selfie stick are designed as separate units. The camera is a fully functional unit, containing various structures and components such as a viewfinder, control buttons, a display panel, and a battery, resulting in a relatively large size. The camera is typically fixed to one end of the selfie stick using a clamping or magnetic attachment. For example, if the camera is 11 cm long and the selfie stick is 23 cm long when folded, the total length of the camera and selfie stick is 34 cm, making it inconvenient to store.

[0041] In other words, when using the camera and selfie stick in this technology, users need to go through five steps, as follows: First, tighten the selfie stick and camera; second, remove the camera's lens cover; third, put away the lens cover; fourth, press the power and record buttons to start recording; fifth, extend and unfold the selfie stick.

[0042] As can be seen from the above, the cameras in the relevant technologies require a considerable amount of time both before and after use, resulting in a poor shooting experience for users.

[0043] Furthermore, cameras sold separately are designed with heat dissipation features. When used for extended periods while fixed in place by a selfie stick, the camera is prone to overheating, affecting its photo-taking performance and potentially causing it to shut down, thus impacting user experience.

[0044] To address the problems existing in related technologies, this disclosure provides a shooting device, which includes a shooting component, a functional component, and a telescopic component. The shooting component is electrically connected to the functional component and is disposed on the telescopic component. The telescopic component can switch between an extended state and a retracted state, and when the telescopic component switches states, it causes relative movement between the shooting component and the functional component. In this disclosure, both the shooting component and the functional component are disposed on the telescopic component, eliminating the need to assemble the shooting component and the functional component onto the telescopic component during use; furthermore, the shooting component and the functional component are disposed separately, avoiding the concentration of the shooting component and the functional component at one end of the telescopic component, reducing the overall size of the shooting device in the retracted state, and facilitating storage.

[0045] According to an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the figure, this disclosure provides a shooting device that allows users to take photos, record videos, and perform other functions.

[0046] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The shooting equipment includes a telescopic member 20 and a shooting component 10 mounted on the telescopic member 20. The shooting component 10 can be a panoramic camera, a gimbal, etc. The shooting component 10 includes a shooting element 11 with a lens 111, which has the function of acquiring images. The telescopic member 20 has an extended state (extension state, see reference). Figure 1 ) and storage state (shrunken state, see reference) Figure 2 The telescopic component 20 allows adjustment of the position of the camera component 11 in space. For example, when the telescopic component 20 is extended, it can move the camera component 11 to a position that is difficult for a person to reach, thereby capturing scenes that are not usually easy or impossible to capture, thus meeting the user's shooting needs. When the telescopic component 20 is in the retracted state, it occupies little space and is easy to store.

[0047] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The imaging assembly 10 also includes a functional component 12, which is electrically connected to the imaging component 11. In one example, the functional component 12 may be a power supply unit 124 (see reference). Figure 3 , Figure 4 The functional component 12 provides electrical power to the imaging component 11, enabling it to operate. In another example, the functional component 12 can be a control unit 121, which can adjust the focal length of the imaging component 11 and control the start and end times of shooting. As can be seen from the above, in the shooting device provided in this disclosure, the functional component 12 and the imaging component 11 together realize the complete shooting function. For example, the functional component 12 and the imaging component 11 can be composed of parts of the structure of a camera in the related art, so that the size of both the imaging component 11 and the functional component 12 is smaller than the size of the entire camera in the related art.

[0048] Continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 When the telescopic member 20 switches between its extended and retracted states, the shooting member 11 and the functional member 12 move closer to or further away from each other. That is, the shooting member 11 and the functional member 12 are located at different positions on the telescopic member 20. For example, the shooting member 11 may be located at one end of the telescopic member 20, while the functional member 12 may be located on the side wall or inside the telescopic member 20. For instance, the shooting member 11 is 4 cm long (less than the camera's 11 cm). The telescopic member 20 remains 23 cm long in its retracted state, and the functional member 12 does not affect the length of the shooting device. Therefore, the shooting device is 27 cm long in its retracted state, which is significantly shorter than the total length of the camera and selfie stick in related technologies, facilitating storage.

[0049] It is understandable that the shooting component 11 is located at one end of the telescopic component 20. Since the weight of the shooting component 11 is less than the size of the entire camera in related technologies, the strength requirement for the telescopic component 20 is reduced compared to related technologies. This allows the telescopic component 20 to be adjusted to reduce its length in the retracted state. For example, the overlap area between adjacent sleeves in the telescopic component 20 can be reduced. For instance, the size of the telescopic component 20 can be shortened to 16 cm, thereby reducing the size of the shooting device in the retracted state to approximately 20 cm, facilitating storage for the user. In this embodiment, both the shooting component 11 and the functional component 12 are located on the telescopic component 20, eliminating the need to assemble them into the telescopic component 20 during use. Furthermore, the separate arrangement of the shooting component 11 and the functional component 12 avoids them being concentrated at one end of the telescopic component 20, reducing the overall size of the shooting device in the retracted state and facilitating storage. Additionally, the shooting device is columnar in the retracted state, resulting in a good shape and facilitating concealed storage.

[0050] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment of the present disclosure provides a shooting device, which includes a shooting component 11, a functional component 12 and a telescopic component 20. The shooting component 11 is electrically connected to a function key and is disposed on the telescopic component 20. The telescopic component 20 can switch between an extended state and a retracted state. When the telescopic component 20 switches states, it causes the shooting component 11 and the functional component 12 to generate relative movement.

[0051] This embodiment is illustrated by taking the example of the shooting component 11 being set at one end of the telescopic component 20 and the functional component 12 being set at the other end of the telescopic component 20. The end of the telescopic component 20 where the functional component 12 is set can be a fixed end 21 for the user to hold. This setting method can make full use of the length of the telescopic component 20.

[0052] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2As shown, the functional component 12 of the shooting device includes a control unit 121, which allows the user to adjust the shooting effect, such as controlling the shooting start and end time and shooting focal length. By separating the control unit 121 from the shooting component 11, compared to the overall camera body in related technologies, the size of the shooting component 10 at the end of the telescopic member 20 furthest from the fixed end 21 is reduced, thus reducing the size of the shooting device in its retracted state. Furthermore, the control unit 121 is located at the fixed end 21 of the telescopic member 20, making it easier for the user to control the device when the telescopic member 20 is in its extended state, thereby improving the shooting effect and enhancing the user's shooting experience. In one example, the control unit 121 can be any one or more of a display screen 122 and physical buttons 123. The display screen 122 can be a touchscreen, allowing the user to preview the current framing and adjust settings via touch and swipe. Similarly, the user can adjust shooting parameters via the physical buttons 123. This disclosure does not impose further limitations.

[0053] In other embodiments, reference is made to... Figure 3 and Figure 4 The functional component 12 of the shooting device includes a power supply unit 124, which is electrically connected to the shooting component 11 and also electrically connected to a control unit 121. The control unit 121 supplies power to the shooting component 11 and the control unit 121, enabling the shooting device to be in a powered-on working state. Positioning the power supply unit 124 at the fixed end 21 of the telescopic component 20 reduces the size of the shooting component 10 furthest from the fixed end 21, thus reducing the size of the shooting device in its retracted state. Furthermore, since the shooting component 11 generates heat during operation and the power supply unit 124 generates heat during discharge, separating the shooting component 11 and the power supply unit 124 disperses the heat source, improving the heat dissipation performance of the shooting device. Additionally, the fixed end 21 of the telescopic component 20 has sufficient space to accommodate a larger capacity power supply unit 124, improving the shooting device's battery life and thus enhancing the user experience. In one example, the power supply unit 124 can be a lithium-ion battery, a nickel-metal hydride battery, etc. The power supply unit 124 and the telescopic component 20 can be an integrated structure or a detachable form.

[0054] In yet another embodiment, reference is made to... Figure 3 The functional components 12 of the shooting device include a control unit 121 and a power supply unit 124, that is, both the control unit 121 and the power supply unit 124 are located at the fixed end 21 of the telescopic member 20. In one example, refer to Figure 3 The diagram shows the control unit 121 and the power supply unit 124 along the telescopic direction of the telescopic member 20. Figure 1The z-direction arrangement is shown in the example. In another example, refer to... Figure 4 The control unit 121 and the power supply unit 124 can be disposed on the side walls of the telescopic member 20 in different directions, so that the functional component 12 composed of the control unit 121 and the power supply unit 124 occupies less size along the extension direction of the telescopic member 20. For example, it can prevent the user from contacting the power supply unit 124 when holding the fixed end 21, thus affecting heat dissipation. Or, it can be disposed of with a larger capacity power supply unit 124 to improve the battery life of the shooting equipment.

[0055] Among them, reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The control unit 121 and power supply unit 124 of the functional component 12 are disposed on the side wall of the telescopic component 20. It can be determined that when the functional component 12 is disposed on the side wall of the telescopic component 20, the volume of the functional component 12 will not affect the shooting device in the telescopic direction of the telescopic component 20.

[0056] In some implementations, reference Figure 3 and Figure 5 A first housing 40 is fitted onto the fixed end 21 of the telescopic member 20. The first housing 40 has multiple mounting holes. The display screen 122 and physical buttons 123 of the control unit 121 are embedded in the mounting holes. The display side of the display screen 122 and the physical buttons 123 protrude from or are flush with the side wall of the first housing 40 for user operation. The inner circle size of the first housing 40 is larger than the outer circle size of the telescopic member 20, thereby forming an accommodating space between the first housing 40 and the telescopic member 20. The power supply unit 124 is disposed in the accommodating space.

[0057] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment of the present disclosure provides a shooting device, which includes a shooting component 11, a functional component 12 and a telescopic component 20. The shooting component 11 is electrically connected to a function key and is disposed on the telescopic component 20. The telescopic component 20 can switch between an extended state and a retracted state. When the telescopic component 20 switches states, it causes the shooting component 11 and the functional component 12 to generate relative movement.

[0058] The shooting device provided in this embodiment may include various structures and components of the shooting device provided in any of the foregoing embodiments.

[0059] In this embodiment, as Figures 5 to 8 As shown, the shooting equipment also includes a lens cover 30 disposed on the telescopic member 20. (Reference) Figure 5 and combined Figure 1When the telescopic member 20 is in the extended state, the lens cover 30 is located at the end of the telescopic member 20 away from the shooting member 11. For example, the lens cover 30 may be provided at the fixed end 21 of the telescopic member 20. When the telescopic member 20 is in the retracted state, the lens cover 30 covers at least the lens 111 of the shooting member 11 to protect the lens 111 from damage caused by impacts from external structures.

[0060] In an optional embodiment (not shown in the figures), a lens cover is fixedly connected to the handle of the telescopic component. The lens cover can be a flat, U-shaped, or cylindrical structure. When the telescopic component is retracted to its retracted state, the lens of the shooting component located at the end of the telescopic component is protected by the lens cover.

[0061] In another alternative implementation, such as Figures 5 to 8 As shown, the lens cover 30 is movably connected to the telescopic member 20. When the shooting device is in the retracted state, the lens cover 30 is close to the telescopic member 20 and covers the lens 111 of the shooting device 11. Along the telescopic rod's extension direction ( Figure 7 As the shooting member 11 moves closer to or further away from the fixed end 21 of the telescopic member 20 (as shown in the z-direction), the shooting member 11 can push the lens protective cover 30 away from the lens 111 to avoid the lens protective cover 30 obstructing the lens 111. It is understood that by configuring the lens protective cover 30 to be movably connected to the telescopic member 20, the lens protective cover 30 can more fully cover the lens 111 of the shooting member 11.

[0062] In this embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the shooting component 11 includes a lens carrier 112, which is used to mount and protect the lens 111. The outer wall of the lens carrier 112 has a protruding structure 113. Exemplarily, the lens carrier 112 is cuboid in shape, and the protruding structure 113 is located on the side wall of the lens carrier 112 where the lens 111 is not mounted, thereby reducing the size of the shooting component 11 in the telescopic direction of the telescopic member 20, and thus facilitating a reduction in the overall size of the shooting device in its retracted state. (Continue to refer to...) Figure 5 and Figure 6 The lens cover 30 includes a cover body 31 and at least one side cover 32. The cover body 31 is movably connected to the fixed end 21 of the telescopic member 20. The side cover 32 is located on the side of the cover body 31 facing the shooting member 11. As the lens carrier 112 moves closer to the side cover 32 along the telescopic direction of the telescopic member 20, the protruding structure 113 on the lens carrier 112 will drive the lens cover 30 to gradually move away from the lens 111.

[0063] Among them, reference Figure 5The lens 111 of the imaging component 11 protrudes from the surface of the lens carrier 112. Therefore, a clearance area 33 can be provided at the position of the protective cover body 31 directly opposite the lens 111. When the lens protective cover 30 covers the lens 111, the lens carrier 112 is in contact with the protective cover body 31, and the lens 111 extends into the clearance area 33. (Continue to refer to...) Figure 6 The raised structure 113 has an arc-shaped surface, and the side cover 32 of the lens protective cover 30 also has an arc-shaped surface. When the lens carrier 112 interacts with the lens protective cover 30, the arc-shaped surface design can reduce the maximum opening and closing angle of the lens protective cover 30 and avoid greater resistance when the user adjusts the telescopic component 20.

[0064] Furthermore, refer to Figure 2 When the telescopic component 20 is in the retracted state, the bottom surface of the protruding structure 113 abuts against the fixed end 21 of the telescopic component 20, the upper left side of the protruding structure 113 abuts against one protective cover body 31, and the upper right side of the protruding structure 113 abuts against another protective cover body 31. It can be determined that in the retracted state, the protruding structure 113 provides support for the two lens protective covers 30. When the lens protective cover 30 is impacted, the lens protective cover 30 is supported by the protruding structure 113 and will not squeeze the shooting component 11, thus improving the impact resistance of the shooting device.

[0065] The protective cover body 31 and the fixed end 21 of the telescopic member 20 can form either a sliding connection or a rotating connection. In this embodiment, a rotating connection is used as an example for illustrative explanation. A preset rotating shaft 41 is provided at the fixed end 21 of the telescopic member 20, and the lens protective cover 30 forms a rotating connection with the fixed end 21 of the telescopic member 20 through the preset rotating shaft 41.

[0066] In one example, refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 A torsion spring 42 is fitted onto the pre-set rotating shaft 41. The first end of the torsion spring 42 is connected to the lens cover 30, and the second end is connected to the telescopic member 20. For example, the torsion spring 42 is always in a compressed state, so that the lens cover 30 is close to the telescopic member 20 to fully cover the protruding lens 111 on the shooting component 11. When the protruding structure 113 of the lens carrier 112 contacts the side cover 32 of the lens cover 30, the protruding structure 113 will push the side cover 32, causing the lens cover 30 to move away from the lens 111 and compress the torsion spring 42, so as to prevent the shooting component 11 from being blocked by the lens cover 30 during the extension and retraction of the telescopic member 20. (Refer to...) Figure 5 and Figure 6The lens cover 30 is provided with a spring slot 34, and the first end of the torsion spring 42 extends into the spring slot 34 to prevent the torsion spring 42 from shifting in the axial direction of the preset rotating shaft 41, thereby improving the installation reliability of the torsion spring 42 and thus improving the structural reliability of the shooting equipment when subjected to external impact.

[0067] In another example (not shown in the accompanying drawings), multiple lens covers are provided, arranged along the circumferential direction of the telescopic member. Each lens cover has a magnet, with opposite magnetic poles on two opposing lens covers facing each other. Exemplarily, two lens covers are provided, located on opposite sides of the telescopic member. Both lens covers have magnetic poles, with the N pole of one lens cover facing the telescopic member and the S pole of the other lens cover facing the telescopic member. This ensures that the opposing lens covers have a magnetic attraction, drawing them closer together to achieve the effect of a torsion spring as described in the previous example. When the protruding structure of the lens carrier contacts the side cover of the lens cover, the protruding structure pushes the side cover, causing the lens cover to move away from the lens, thus preventing the photographic element from being obstructed by the lens cover during the telescopic member's extension and retraction.

[0068] In another example (not shown in the accompanying drawings), multiple lens covers are provided, arranged circumferentially along the telescopic component. Two opposing lens covers are connected by a tension spring, which brings them close together to provide reliable protection when the lens cover is facing the subject. When the protruding structure of the lens carrier contacts the side cover of the lens cover, the protruding structure pushes the side cover, moving the lens cover away from the lens, thus preventing the subject from being obstructed by the lens cover during the telescopic component's extension and retraction.

[0069] In this embodiment of the disclosure, by providing a lens protective cover 30 on the telescopic member 20, compared with cameras and selfie sticks in the related art, the second and third steps are eliminated during use, simplifying the operation, saving time, and improving the user experience.

[0070] Among them, reference Figure 7 and Figure 8 The surface of the imaging component 11 has a preset switch 115. Triggering the preset switch 115 can switch the imaging component 11 to a preset state. For example, it can control the imaging device to turn on or off, or it can control the imaging device to start or stop shooting. The preset switch 115 can be a toggle or press button set on the surface of the lens carrier 112 of the imaging component 11, or it can be an electrical contact.

[0071] refer to Figure 7The following is an example of a toggle switch 115. Figure 7 The image capture device is shown in a retracted state, which is in a second preset state (e.g., powered off, not in shooting mode). A preset switch 115 is located on the side of the protruding structure 113 facing the lens cover 30. A strip-shaped switch groove 114 is provided on the protruding structure 113. The extension direction of the switch groove 114, the actuation direction of the preset switch 115, and the extension / retraction direction of the telescopic member 20 are all related. Figure 7 As shown in the z-direction, the preset switch 115 is located on the side of the switch groove 114 away from the fixed end 21 of the telescopic member 20. It can be determined that during the process of the telescopic member 20 extending from the retracted state, friction will be generated between the protruding structure 113 and the lens cover 30. The direction of the frictional force of the lens cover 30 on the preset switch 115 on the protruding structure 113 is opposite to the extension direction. Thus, the frictional force can drive the preset switch 115 to move in the opposite direction of the extension direction, that is, drive the preset switch 115 to move towards the side of the switch groove 114 near the fixed end 21 of the telescopic member 20. After the preset switch 115 moves to the position, the shooting device 11 switches to the first preset state (power on, start shooting state).

[0072] Accordingly, Figure 8 The image capture device in its extended state is shown. In this extended state, the image capture device is in a first preset state, with the preset switch 115 located on the side of the switch groove 114 near the fixed end 21 of the telescopic member 20. It can be determined that during the retraction of the telescopic member 20 to its retracted state, friction occurs between the protruding structure 113 and the lens cover 30. The direction of the frictional force exerted by the lens cover 30 on the preset switch 115 on the protruding structure 113 is opposite to the retraction direction. This frictional force can drive the preset switch 115 to move in the opposite direction of retraction, that is, to move the preset switch 115 towards the side of the switch groove 114 away from the fixed end 21 of the telescopic member 20. After the preset switch 115 reaches its position, the image capture device 11 switches to the second preset state (power off, stopped shooting state).

[0073] When the preset switch 115 is a press-triggered switch, for example, the preset switch 115 can be set to turn on when pressed an odd number of times and turn off when pressed an even number of times.

[0074] Therefore, in this embodiment of the present disclosure, by setting a preset switch 115 on the surface of the shooting component 11 and setting a lens protective cover 30 on the telescopic component 20, the functions of automatic power-on, power-off, start recording, and stop recording are realized, saving users operating steps and improving user experience. When using the shooting device provided in this disclosure for shooting, compared with cameras and selfie sticks in related technologies, the fourth step of pressing the power-on and record buttons to start recording is saved, thus saving startup time.

[0075] In summary, when using the shooting device provided in this embodiment, the user only needs to extend the telescopic member 20 in its retracted state, eliminating the first to fourth steps in the related technology, greatly simplifying the user's operation, saving time, and improving the user experience.

[0076] Among them, reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The imaging component 11 also includes a circuit board (not shown in the attached drawings), which is disposed within the lens carrier 112. The circuit board can be, for example, the main board of the imaging component 11. The main board is electrically connected to the lens 111 and the functional component 12 of the imaging component 11. The main board can process the images acquired by the lens 111 and display the processed images on the display screen 122 of the functional component 12. (Continue to refer to...) Figure 1 When the camera module 11 is in operation, the telescopic component 20 is in an extended state. The telescopic component 20 has a large contact area with the air, and because it is made of a metal with good thermal conductivity, the circuit board makes heat transfer contact with the telescopic component 20. This allows the heat generated by the circuit board to be transferred to the air more efficiently for heat dissipation, significantly reducing the camera temperature. Compared to cameras sold independently in related technologies, this disclosure allows the telescopic component 20 to be used as a heat dissipation structure, resulting in a larger contact area with the air and stronger heat dissipation performance.
