Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of camera equipment technology, and specifically to an irregularly shaped HDMI plug. Background Technology

[0002] High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is a fully digital video and audio transmission interface that can send uncompressed audio and video signals. HDMI can be used in devices such as set-top boxes, DVD players, personal computers, televisions, game consoles, integrated amplifiers, digital audio systems, and cameras. HDMI can transmit audio and video signals simultaneously, and because audio and video signals use the same cable, it greatly simplifies system wiring installation.

[0003] Existing HDMI plugs are generally straight-in or bent up, down, left, or right, but this has certain limitations for applications in confined spaces.

[0004] When using a camera underwater, if an external monitor is needed, the camera's HDMI port needs to be used to output the signal. However, the waterproof housing of the camera is often designed with very compact space, so ordinary HDMI cables may interfere with the camera housing; or the HDMI cable end may interfere with other functional interfaces. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides an irregularly shaped HDMI plug, which aims to solve the problem of interference between existing HDMI cables and camera housings.

[0006] One solution provides an irregularly shaped HDMI plug, including:

[0007] The outer casing extends in a certain direction; at both ends of the outer casing in the extending direction, there are corresponding connecting holes and mounting holes; the mounting holes and the connecting holes are spaced apart, and the axis of the connecting hole is perpendicular to the axis of the mounting hole.

[0008] A connecting wire, wherein the connecting wire is inserted into the connecting hole and is electrically connected to the connecting hole;

[0009] The plug body is fixedly connected to the interior of the housing, and extends out of the mounting hole, with the edge of the mounting hole abutting and limiting the plug body; the connecting wire is electrically connected to the plug body.

[0010] The outer shell is a cast part that extends in the horizontal direction.

[0011] In one embodiment, the plug body and the connecting wire are electrically connected via a substrate; the substrate is fixedly disposed within the housing.

[0012] In one embodiment, the plug body includes: a protective shell and a connector; the protective shell is fitted over the outside of the connector, and the connector is used for electrical connection with a device; the protective shell abuts against and limits the inner wall of the mounting hole; the connector is electrically connected to the substrate.

[0013] Specifically, the equipment could be a camera or a computer, etc.

[0014] In one embodiment, the protective shell has a locking block, and the connector has a slot into which the locking block engages; when the protective shell is fitted onto the connector, the locking block engages into the slot.

[0015] In one embodiment, the protective shell has an "n"-shaped groove, and pressing the area enclosed by the groove causes it to bend inward to form the locking block.

[0016] In one embodiment, the outer surface of the protective shell has a limiting protrusion extending circumferentially along the protective shell, and the inner wall of the mounting hole is provided with a limiting groove for the limiting protrusion to be engaged.

[0017] In one embodiment, the outer casing is cuboid in shape, and all four opposite edges of the outer casing are rounded to form arc surfaces; the outer casing has an extension, the mounting hole passes through the extension, and the mounting hole extends along the extension direction of the extension.

[0018] In one embodiment, the lower outer surface of the protective housing is provided with a positioning strip for connection and positioning with the device, the positioning strip extending along the extension direction of the protective housing.

[0019] In one embodiment, the lower outer surface of the protective shell is provided with a positioning groove for connection and positioning with the device.

[0020] In one embodiment, the protective shell is composed of a plate; the plate has two opposite sides, and each side of the plate is provided with a dovetail groove and a tenon that can cooperate with each other; the protective shell is connected together by the dovetail groove and the tenon of the plate.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this application are:

[0022] The outer casing extends in a certain direction, with connecting holes and mounting holes spaced apart. The axis of the connecting hole is perpendicular to the axis of the mounting hole. Therefore, the connecting wire and the plug body are not on the same straight line. So when the plug body is inserted into the corresponding port of the camera, the connecting wire can extend along the camera casing, that is, it can extend between the camera and the camera casing. The connecting wire will not be perpendicular to the camera, so it will not interfere with the camera casing. Attached Figure Description

[0037] This application proposes improvements and innovations, and presents the following embodiments.

[0038] In some implementations, please refer to Figures 1 to 5 A non-standard HDMI plug is provided, including:

[0039] The outer shell extends in a certain direction; at both ends of the outer shell in the extending direction, there are corresponding connecting holes and mounting holes; the mounting holes and connecting holes are spaced apart, and the axis of the connecting hole is perpendicular to the axis of the mounting hole.

[0040] A connecting wire is inserted into a connecting hole and is electrically connected to the connecting hole.

[0041] The plug body is fixedly connected to the inside of the outer shell, and the plug body extends out of the mounting hole, with the edge of the mounting hole abutting and limiting the plug body; the connecting wire is electrically connected to the plug body.

[0042] The outer casing is a cast-in-place component that extends horizontally. This single-piece casting design enhances the casing's structural strength and improves its sealing performance.

[0043] The outer casing extends in a certain direction, with connecting holes and mounting holes spaced apart. The axis of the connecting hole is perpendicular to the axis of the mounting hole. Therefore, the connecting wire and the plug body are not on the same straight line. So when the plug body is inserted into the corresponding port of the camera, the connecting wire can extend along the camera casing, that is, it can extend between the camera and the camera casing. The connecting wire will not be perpendicular to the camera, so it will not interfere with the camera casing.

[0044] In one embodiment, the plug body and the connecting wire are electrically connected via a substrate; the substrate is fixedly disposed within the housing. A corresponding processing module is provided on the substrate, enabling electrical signals from the device to be transmitted to the substrate via the plug body, converted by the substrate, and then transmitted to the connecting wire, which in turn transmits them to other devices.

[0045] In one embodiment, the plug body includes: a protective shell and a connector; the protective shell is sleeved over the connector, which is used for electrical connection with a device; the protective shell abuts against and limits the connection to the inner wall of the mounting hole; the connector is electrically connected to the substrate. Protecting the connector with the protective shell improves its structural strength, making it less susceptible to bending or breakage. This ensures better data transmission and extends the connector's lifespan.

[0046] Specifically, the equipment could be a camera or a computer, etc.

[0047] In one embodiment, the protective shell has a locking block, and the connector has a locking groove into which the locking block engages; when the protective shell is fitted onto the connector, the locking block engages into the locking groove. The stability of the connection between the protective shell and the connector is achieved through the mutual cooperation of the locking block and the locking groove.

[0048] In one embodiment, the protective shell has an "n"-shaped groove. Pressing the area enclosed by the groove causes it to bend inward to form a locking block. By providing an "n"-shaped groove on the protective shell and pressing the area enclosed by the groove to bend inward to form a locking block, the need for additional locking blocks can be avoided, saving material and reducing the weight of the protective shell.

[0049] In one embodiment, the outer surface of the protective shell has a limiting protrusion extending circumferentially along the protective shell, and the inner wall of the mounting hole has a limiting groove for the limiting protrusion to engage. The limiting protrusion allows for better positioning of the protective shell within the mounting hole, reducing the possibility of it slipping out of the mounting hole.

[0050] In one embodiment, the housing is cuboid in shape, and all four opposite edges of the housing are rounded to form arc surfaces. The housing has an extension, through which a mounting hole passes, and the mounting hole extends along the extension direction of the extension. Rounding the four opposite edges to form arc surfaces makes the housing smoother, reducing wear on the edges and corners. The extension increases the length of the mounting hole, thus improving the fixation and positioning of the mounting hole on the plug body.

[0051] In one embodiment, a positioning strip is provided on the lower outer surface of the protective shell for positioning and connecting with the device. The positioning strip extends along the extension direction of the protective shell. When the protective shell is inserted into the slot of the device, the positioning strip can be engaged in the positioning groove provided on the inner wall of the slot. The cooperation between the positioning strip and the positioning groove makes it difficult for the protective shell to slip out of the slot, thus ensuring the firmness of the connection between the plug body and the slot.

[0052] In one embodiment, the lower outer surface of the protective shell is provided with a positioning groove for connection and positioning with the device. When the protective shell is inserted into the slot of the device, a positioning block provided on the inner wall of the slot can be engaged in the positioning groove, and the cooperation between the positioning groove and the positioning block makes it difficult for the protective shell to slip out of the slot, thus ensuring the firmness of the connection between the plug body and the slot.

[0053] In one embodiment, the protective shell is composed of a plate; the plate has two opposite sides, and each side of the plate has a dovetail groove and a tenon that can fit together; the protective shell is connected together by the dovetail groove and the tenon of the plate. The two opposite sides of the plate are fixed together by the dovetail groove and the tenon to form the protective shell, which has a simple structure and a firm connection.

[0054] The above are merely optional embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application. Although embodiments of this utility model have been shown and described above, it is understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and should not be construed as limiting this utility model. Those skilled in the art can make changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations to the above embodiments within the scope of this utility model.
