Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of panoramic camera equipment technology, and in particular to a portable charged panoramic camera. Background Technology

[0002] A surround view camera, also known as a 360-degree panoramic video camera, is a device used to capture images of the surrounding environment. It is characterized by its small size and low power consumption. The panoramic camera is a prime example of this, as it offers a wider field of view and is therefore widely used for outdoor video recording.

[0003] The panoramic camera for outdoor recording is handheld with a long handle, making the overall panoramic camera quite long. This makes it inconvenient to put in a small bag or pocket, reducing portability.

[0004] Therefore, how to provide a portable live-line view device is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0005] One objective of this invention is to provide a portable, electrically powered panoramic camera, which solves the problem that existing panoramic cameras have long handles and are inconvenient to carry.

The first limiting groove is formed on the back of the camera body, and the first limiting groove connects the back and lower surface of the camera body. The first push block is movably connected inside the first limiting groove. The first locking rod is movably connected inside the first limiting groove, and one end of the first locking rod is fixedly connected to the side of the first push block near the first locking head. When the top of the grip is against the bottom of the camera body, the first locking rod is locked onto the surface of the first locking head.

[0009] The bottom of the grip is provided with a second locking component, and the top of the camera body is provided with a second locking head corresponding to the position of the second locking component. When the grip is retracted to the front of the camera body, the second locking component is movably locked onto the surface of the second locking head.

[0010] The second locking assembly includes a second limiting groove, a second push block, and a second locking rod. The second limiting groove is located at the bottom of the grip and aligns the lower surface and side of the grip. The second push block and the second locking rod are both movably connected inside the second limiting groove. One end of the second locking rod is fixedly connected to the surface of the second push block. When the grip is retracted to the front of the camera body, the second locking rod engages with the surface of the second locking head.

[0011] The surfaces of the first push block and the second push block are provided with anti-slip serrations.

[0012] The first and second levers are metal elastic levers.

[0013] The front of the camera body is provided with a module mounting assembly, which includes a mounting slot, a storage slot, a connecting cable, a connector, and magnets.

[0028] refer to Figure 1-4 In this embodiment, a first latching component 6 is provided on the back of the camera body 1 near the bottom, and a first latching head 7 is provided on the back of the grip 2 near the first latching component 6. The first latching component 6 latches onto the surface of the first latching head 7. The first latching component 6 includes a first limiting groove 8, a first push block 9, and a first latching rod 10. The first limiting groove 8 is opened on the back of the camera body 1, and the first limiting groove 8 connects the back and bottom surfaces of the camera body 1. The first push block 9 is movably connected inside the first limiting groove 8, and the first latching rod 10 is movably connected inside the first limiting groove 8, with one end of the first latching rod 10 fixedly connected to the side of the first push block 9 near the first latching head 7. When the top of the grip 2 is against the bottom of the camera body 1, the first latching rod 10 latches onto the surface of the first latching head 7.

[0029] The bottom of the grip 2 is provided with a second locking component 11, and the top of the camera body 1 is provided with a second locking head 12 corresponding to the position of the second locking component 11. When the grip 2 is retracted to the front of the camera body 1, the second locking component 11 is movably locked onto the surface of the second locking head 12. The second locking component 11 includes a second limiting groove 13, a second push block 14, and a second locking rod 15. The second limiting groove 13 is opened at the bottom of the grip 2 and the second limiting groove 13 communicates with the lower surface and the side of the grip 2. The second push block 14 and the second locking rod 15 are both movably connected inside the second limiting groove 13. One end of the second locking rod 15 is fixedly connected to the surface of the second push block 14. When the grip 2 is retracted to the front of the camera body 1, the second locking rod 15 is locked onto the surface of the second locking head 12.

The mounting slot 17 is located on the front of the camera body 1, and the storage slot 18 is located inside the mounting slot 17. One end of the connecting cable 19 is fixedly connected to the motherboard body 3, and the other end of the connecting cable 19 passes through the camera body 1 and reaches the inside of the storage slot 18, where it engages with the connector 20. This facilitates the removal of the display screen 4. The connector 20 is located on the back of the display screen 4. There are two sets of magnets 21. One set is embedded inside the mounting slot 17, and the other set is embedded on the back of the display screen 4. The two sets of magnets 21 are magnetically attracted together. The material of the magnets 21 can be selected appropriately, which will not be elaborated here. The grip 2 houses the battery pack 22. A sealing cover 23 is provided on one side of the grip 2. A power supply cable 24 is provided on the surface of the motherboard body 3. It is used to transmit the power of the battery pack 22 to the motherboard body 3 through the power supply cable 24. The motherboard body 3 distributes the power reasonably. One end of the power supply cable 24 extends to the hinge 5 and exits from the hinge 5. The position extends further into the interior of the grip 2 and is fixedly connected to the battery pack 22. It should be noted that the power supply cable 24 at the hinge 5 position has an appropriate length to prevent excessive tension and pulling during grip 2 rotation.
