[0031] This utility model proposes a shooting device 10, which aims to solve the technical problem of how to improve the use effect of small shooting devices.

[0032] In the embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the shooting device 10 includes: a housing 11, which has a mounting cavity 113 and a camera hole 114, the camera hole 114 communicating with the mounting cavity 113; a lens module 12, which is mounted in the mounting cavity 113, the lens module 12 including a lens 122 and an imaging unit 121, one end of the lens 122 being located at the camera hole 114 to acquire optical images through the camera hole 114, the other end of the lens 122 being detachably connected to the imaging unit 121 so that the lens 122 is replaceable; and a protective cover 13, which is detachably covered by the camera hole 114, the protective cover 13 having a light-transmitting area corresponding to the lens 122.

[0033] In this embodiment, the housing 11 can form the overall appearance structure of the shooting device 10, and the lens module 12 can form an image and record the image using the optical imaging principle. The lens 122 is used to acquire optical images through the camera hole 114, and the imaging unit 121 is used to record the optical images.

[0034] The protective cover 13 serves to protect the lens 122 from dust. The light-transmitting area of ​​the protective cover 13 is a solid transparent area that allows light to pass through. Specifically, the light-transmitting area can be a piece of transparent glass.

[0035] The protective cover 13 can be removed from the camera hole 114, allowing one end of the lens 122 to be exposed through the camera hole 114. The user can then grasp or clamp the exposed end of the lens 122 to detach it from the imaging unit 121. The mounting cavity 113 can then be removed through the camera hole 114. After removing the lens 122, the user can install other lenses 122 onto the imaging unit 121 through the camera hole 114. Finally, the protective cover 13 is replaced back onto the camera hole 114, thus enabling the replacement of the lens 122. Therefore, by allowing the lens 122 to be detached from the imaging unit 121 and the protective cover 13 to be detached from the housing 11, the lens 122 can be replaced, allowing users to easily change lenses 122 with different focal lengths, apertures, and focusing capabilities according to their needs, thereby improving the usability of the shooting device 10.

[0036] The lens 122 and the imaging unit 121 can be connected by a snap-fit ​​or a plug-in connection. There are no restrictions here, as long as the lens 122 and the imaging unit 121 can be detachably connected.

[0037] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the imaging unit 121 has a connection hole 123, and one end of the lens 122 is detachably engaged with the connection hole 123. The engagement of the lens 122 with the connection hole 123 increases the mating area between the lens 122 and the imaging unit 121, thereby improving the connection stability between the lens 122 and the imaging unit 121.

[0038] For example, the engagement depth between the lens 122 and the connecting hole 123 is adjustable, allowing the lens 122 to be focused. An adjustable focusing gap is formed between one end of the lens 122 located at the camera hole 114 and the protective cover 13. By changing the engagement depth between the lens 122 and the connecting hole 123, the distance between the lens 122 and the protective cover 13 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the focal length of the lens 122. The user can remove the protective cover 13 to manually focus the lens 122, and then replace the protective cover 13 after focusing, thus realizing the adjustable focusing function of the shooting device 10 and further improving the usability of the shooting device 10.

[0039] The depth of the engagement between the lens 122 and the connecting hole 123 can be adjusted by directly applying a force to the lens 122 along the depth direction of the connecting hole 123, or by other methods.

[0040] Specifically, the peripheral wall of the portion where the lens 122 mates with the connecting hole 123 is provided with external threads, and the wall of the connecting hole 123 is provided with internal threads. The lens 122 and the connecting hole 123 are engaged by threads. Thus, by turning the lens 122, the engagement depth between the lens 122 and the connecting hole 123 can be adjusted, thereby simplifying the focusing process of the lens 122. In addition, the threaded engagement also simplifies the disassembly and assembly of the lens 122 and the connecting hole 123, thereby improving the convenience of focusing and disassembly of the lens 122.

[0041] For example, such as Figure 3 and 5 As shown, the lens 122 extends out of the camera hole 114, and the protective cover 13 includes a cover plate 131 and a surrounding plate 132. The surrounding plate 132 is connected to the periphery of the cover plate 131, and the light-transmitting area is provided on the cover plate 131. The cover plate 131 is opposite to the lens 122, and the surrounding plate 132 is arranged around the part of the lens 122 that extends out of the camera hole 114.

[0042] After removing the protective cover 13 from the camera hole 114, since the lens 122 protrudes from the camera hole 114, the user can easily grasp the lens 122 from outside the camera hole 114 for focusing or disassembly, thus improving user convenience. The thickness of the cover 132 is greater than the length of the portion of the lens 122 protruding from the camera hole 114, thereby ensuring sufficient clearance between the cover 131 and the lens 122, allowing the shape of the protective cover 13 to adapt to the protruding portion of the lens 122, thus ensuring the protective effect of the protective cover 13 on the lens 122.

[0043] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, the diameter of the camera hole 114 gradually narrows from the end away from the mounting cavity 113 to the end closer to the mounting cavity 113. In this way, the camera hole 114 can form an outward flared shape, so that the hole wall of the camera hole 114 and the peripheral wall of the lens 122 can also provide a certain operating space for the user, thereby further improving the convenience of focusing and disassembling the lens 122.

[0044] For example, such as Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the shooting device 10 also includes a mounting ring 14, which is disposed inside the camera hole 114 and surrounds the lens 122. The end of the enclosure plate 132 away from the cover plate 131 is detachably connected to the mounting ring 14. During the process of removing and installing the protective cover 13, the portion of the outer shell 11 at the camera hole 114 will also be subjected to force. The mounting ring 14 can improve the structural strength of the outer shell 11 at the camera hole 114, avoiding easy damage to the portion of the outer shell 11 at the camera hole 114 due to repeated force caused by repeated removal and installation of the protective cover 13, thereby improving the overall structural stability of the shooting device 10.

[0045] The connection between the enclosure 132 and the mounting ring 14 can be either a snap-fit ​​or a threaded fit; there are no restrictions here, as long as the enclosure 132 and the mounting ring 14 can be detachably connected.

[0046] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, a buckle 133 protrudes from one end of the enclosure 132 away from the cover plate 131, and the mounting ring 14 has a locking hole 141 that matches the buckle 133. The buckle 133 and the locking hole 141 can be detachably engaged. This simplifies the assembly and disassembly of the enclosure 132 and the mounting ring 14, thereby simplifying the assembly and disassembly process of the protective cover 13.

[0047] In practical applications, such as Figure 3 As shown, the enclosure 132 is square in shape, and there are four buckles 133, which protrude from the four corners of the enclosure 132. The mounting ring 14 includes an outer frame 142 and a ring body 143. The outer frame 142 is connected to the wall of the end of the camera hole 114 away from the mounting cavity 113. One end of the ring body 143 is connected to the outer frame 142, and the other end extends into the mounting cavity 113. The outer frame 142 is square in shape, and the locking holes 141 are formed in the outer frame 142. The number and position of the locking holes 141 correspond to the buckles 133, and each buckle 133 is detachably engaged with each locking hole 141. Setting the number of buckles 133 and locking holes 141 to four increases the number of engagement points between the protective cover 13 and the mounting ring 14, thereby improving the connection stability between the protective cover 13 and the mounting cavity 113. By placing four buckles 133 at the four corners of the square panel 132, the structural strength of the positions where the four buckles 133 are located can be increased, making the panel 132 less prone to deformation and thus improving the structural stability of the protective cover 13.

[0048] like Figure 6 As shown, this utility model also proposes a shooting device, which includes a mounting gimbal 20 and a shooting device 10. The specific structure of the shooting device 10 is as described in the above embodiments. Since this shooting device adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, and will not be described in detail here. The mounting gimbal 20 is used to fix the device to an external structure, and the shooting device 10 is rotatably mounted on the mounting gimbal 20.

[0049] The above description is only an optional embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
