Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of diving accessories technology, and in particular to a Hall switch-type underwater photography supplementary lighting device. Background Technology
[0002] When taking underwater photos, diving enthusiasts equip themselves with supplementary lighting equipment in order to capture clearer and more realistic images. Nowadays, diving enthusiasts tend to use their mobile phones to take photos directly. However, controlling supplementary lighting equipment and mobile phones underwater has become a challenge, especially in deep water areas.
[0003] In existing technologies, the control switches for supplementary lights in underwater photography devices generally use traditional push-button spring switches, and the Bluetooth switches controlling functions such as taking pictures and zooming on mobile phones also use push-button spring switches. These push-button spring switches are generally directly installed on the outside of the housing, with an added external waterproof structure. The traditional push-button spring switch needs to be placed inside the waterproof structure and isolated from the outside. This allows it to work normally in diving areas, but when the water depth exceeds a certain level, the excessive water pressure may cause the button to fail to spring back. Therefore, the switches in current technology may malfunction. Utility Model Content
[0004] Based on the above, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a Hall switch-type underwater photography supplementary lighting device, which has the characteristics of simple structure, convenient operation and strong stability. It realizes effective control of supplementary lighting equipment and shooting equipment through Hall sensor, and is not affected by water depth.

[0011] Preferably, the triggering component includes several buttons and several springs. Each button is mounted on the switch cover and one end of the button protrudes from the surface of the switch cover, while the other end is fixedly mounted with a second magnet. One end of the spring abuts against the button and the other end abuts against the bottom wall of the second groove.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages:
[0017] (1) This technical solution uses a Hall switch assembly to control the opening or closing of the supplementary light; a first groove is provided on the outer wall of the main housing, and the lever is placed in the first groove, which will contact the external water; based on the principle of Hall switch, the relative position of the first magnet block and the first Hall sensor is controlled by rotating the lever to trigger the control signal, replacing the traditional push-type elastic switch; thus, it is ensured that the switch can stably control the supplementary light equipment during diving, and is not prone to failure.

[0047] A preferred embodiment of this application provides a Hall switch-type underwater photography supplementary lighting device, such as... Figures 1-4 and Figure 11 As shown, the Hall switch-type underwater photography supplementary lighting device includes: a main housing 1, which has an opening 11 and a receiving cavity 12 in a region away from the opening 11, a first transparent plate 13 is installed at the opening 11, the first transparent plate 13 is preferably made of glass; a cover 2, which is fixedly connected to the main housing 1, a second transparent plate 21 is installed on the cover 2, and a sealing ring 8 is provided between the cover 2 and the main housing 1; a supplementary light 3, which is arranged around the opening 11; a power supply 4, which is installed in the receiving cavity 12, and the supplementary light 3 is electrically connected to the power supply 4; and a Hall switch assembly 5, which is installed on the side of the main housing 1 and is used to control the lighting or extinguishing of the supplementary light 3.
[0048] Explained, the space between the cover 2 and the main housing 1 can be used to install a shooting device, which can be a mobile phone.
[0049] like Figures 5-7 As shown, in order to better install the shooting equipment, the device also includes a partition 9, which is fixedly installed inside the main housing 1. The partition 9 has a shooting window corresponding to the opening 11, and the partition 9 is provided with a clamping assembly 91 for clamping the shooting equipment. The clamping assembly 91 includes a plurality of clamping blocks 911, each of which is movably installed on the partition 9. In this way, the device can adapt to shooting equipment of different sizes, enhancing the versatility of the device. Furthermore, the partition 9 is made of metal, and each clamping block 911 has a first magnet block 912 at its bottom.
[0050] When using this device, first open the cover 2, place the shooting device on the partition 9, place the lens module of the shooting device at the shooting window, then use the clamping assembly 91 to fix the shooting device, and then fix the cover 2 to the main housing 1; thus, the installation of the shooting device is completed.
[0051] Specifically, such as Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the Hall switch assembly 5 includes a first Hall sensor 51, a lever 52, and a first magnet 53. The first magnet 53 is mounted on the end of the lever 52. The lever 52 is rotatably mounted on the outer wall of the main housing 1. The lever 52 can drive the first magnet 53 to move closer to or away from the first Hall sensor 51.
[0052] Specifically, such as Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, a first groove 14 is provided on the outer wall of the main housing 1, and the lever 52 is placed in the first groove 14. By providing the first groove 14, accidental activation of the lever 52 can be effectively prevented, and damage to the Hall switch assembly 5 can be avoided. Specifically, a torsion spring 54 is also provided between the lever 52 and the rotating shaft 151, so that the lever 52 can be released after rotating a certain angle and return to its original position. Furthermore, the first groove 14 is located on the outer wall of the main housing 1, that is, it is in communication with the external water area, and the switch can be triggered by the rotation of the lever 52 alone. Therefore, water pressure does not affect the operation of the lever 52.
[0053] Specifically, such as Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, it also includes a main circuit board 6. The power supply 4, the first Hall sensor 51 and the supplementary light 3 are electrically connected to the main circuit board 6, and the main circuit board 6 is installed in the receiving cavity 12. The first Hall sensor 51 is installed on the main circuit board 6.
[0054] This technical solution uses a Hall effect switch assembly 5 to control the lighting of the supplementary light 3. Based on the basic principle of Hall effect switches, the relative position of the first magnet 53 and the first Hall sensor 51 is controlled by rotating a lever 52 to trigger a control signal, replacing the traditional push-button type elastic switch. Specifically, when the first magnet 53 is close to the first Hall sensor 51, the Hall effect switch assembly 5 is in the ON position, transmitting a signal to the main circuit board 6. The main circuit board 6 then sends a control signal to the supplementary light 3, triggering it to light up. When the first magnet 53 is away from the first Hall sensor 51, the Hall effect switch assembly 5 is in the OFF position, triggering the supplementary light 3 to turn off. This design ensures stable control of the supplementary lighting equipment during diving, reducing the likelihood of failure. Furthermore, this type of switch design is unaffected by diving depth or water pressure.
[0055] It should be noted that the first Hall sensor 51 is directly obtained from the prior art, and its specific structure will not be described in this application.
[0056] Specifically, such as Figures 8-10 As shown, it also includes a Hall effect Bluetooth component 7 for controlling the shooting device; the Hall effect Bluetooth component 7 includes a first circuit board 71, a Bluetooth module 72, a trigger component 73, and several second Hall sensors 74, the Bluetooth module 72 and the several second Hall sensors 74 are all fixedly mounted on the first circuit board 71; the first circuit board 71 is fixedly mounted in the receiving cavity 12, and the side of the main housing 1 is provided with a second groove 15 and a switch cover 16, the switch cover 16 covering the second groove 15. Specifically, the switch cover 16 is fixedly connected to the main housing 1, which can be connected by snap-fit or bolt.
[0057] It should be noted that the Bluetooth module 72 is directly obtained from existing technology. It can connect to the shooting device (mobile phone). The connection method between Bluetooth and mobile phone is a common existing technology, and its implementation will not be described in detail in this application. The first circuit board 71 is electrically connected to the power supply 4 of this application, that is, the first circuit board 71 draws power from the power supply 4, without the need to install an additional button battery, thus avoiding the problem of frequent battery replacements required by traditional push-button Bluetooth switches. Furthermore, the power supply 4 of this application can also be used as a power bank to directly provide power to the shooting device (mobile phone).
[0058] Furthermore, such as Figures 8-10As shown, a water guide hole 161 is provided on the switch cover 16, and the trigger component 73 is connected to the switch cover 16. During diving, water can enter the second groove 15 through the water guide hole 161, so that the pressure of the second groove 15 is balanced with the external pressure. In this way, the trigger component 73 will not fail to rebound after being subjected to water pressure, avoiding the problem that traditional switches cannot work in deep water environments and causing shooting to be unable to proceed normally.
[0059] Specifically, such as Figures 8-10 As shown, the trigger assembly 73 includes several button pieces 731 and several springs 732. Each button piece 731 is mounted on the switch cover 16, with one end protruding from the surface of the switch cover 16 and the other end fixedly mounted with a second magnet block 75. One end of each spring 732 abuts against the button piece 731, and the other end abuts against the bottom wall of the second groove 15. When the button piece 731 is pressed, it can slide relative to the switch cover 16 in a first direction. After the pressure is released, it can slide relative to the switch cover 16 in the opposite direction under the force of the spring 732. Furthermore, the switch cover 16 is provided with a button hole for the end of the button piece 731 to pass through.
[0060] Specifically, four of each of the button 731, spring 732, and second magnet 75 are provided. Each can perform a different function, as illustrated in the following example:
[0061] (1) The function of the first button 731 is set as follows: short press to magnify focal length, long press to magnify focal length steplessly;
[0062] (2) The function of the second button 731 is set as follows: short press to reduce focal length, long press to reduce focal length steplessly;
[0063] (3) The function of the third button 731 is set as follows: short press to take a picture, long press to pair via Bluetooth;
[0064] (4) The function of the fourth button 731 is set to switch between taking photos and recording videos by short press.
[0065] Specifically, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the supplementary light 3 includes a lampshade 31 and a lamp plate 32. The lampshade 31 is disposed above the lamp plate 32, and a number of lamp beads are arranged on the lamp plate 32.
[0066] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the main housing 1 is also provided with a wire hole 17 for the wires of the lamp board 32 to pass through; the supplementary light 3 obtains power from the power supply 4, and the lamp board 32 is electrically connected to the main circuit board 6. Therefore, the purpose of the wire hole 17 is to provide a channel for the connecting wires of the lamp board 32 and the main circuit board 6.
[0067] Note that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and the technical principles employed. Those skilled in the art will understand that the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described herein, and various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions can be made without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, although the present invention has been described in detail through the above embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and may include many other equivalent embodiments without departing from the concept of the present invention.
