Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of underwater detection equipment technology, specifically to an integrated fish finder device. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional wireless fish finders are susceptible to signal interference in complex underwater environments, leading to unstable image transmission. Wired fish finders, on the other hand, currently only have separate cameras and main units on the market, lacking a fixed cable winding device or mounting structure for the camera. Their cable management lacks a dedicated structure, easily becoming tangled and knotted, affecting operational efficiency. Camera mounting methods often rely on bolts or complex clips, making installation and removal inconvenient. Furthermore, after being submerged in water, insufficient counterweight or an unreasonable structure can cause the camera to tilt due to water currents, affecting image clarity.

[0003] Summary of existing technical defects: 1. Poor anti-interference capability of wireless transmission; 2. Disorganized cable management and low operation efficiency; 3. Cumbersome installation of camera device and poor portability; 4. Insufficient underwater attitude stability and blurry imaging. Utility Model Content

[0034] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0035] See Figure 1-7 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: an integrated fish finder device, comprising:

[0036] Host 1;

[0037] Camera device 2 is wired to host 1 via data cable 6;

[0038] The winding turntable 3 is located below the main unit 1 and is movably connected around the connecting shaft 15 of the main unit 1;

[0039] The fastener 4 is threadedly connected to the connecting shaft 15 and is used to axially limit the winding turntable 3;

[0040] The main unit 1 has an installation structure 14 for the camera device 2 on its outer side.

[0041] The wired connection ensures stable and reliable data transmission between the camera device 2 and the host 1, avoiding image interruption caused by wireless signal interference, especially in complex underwater environments. The movable connection design of the cable reel 3 facilitates quick cable winding and unwinding, reducing the risk of cable tangling; the threaded limiting structure of the fixing component 4 prevents the cable reel 3 from axially loosening or falling off during operation, improving the overall structural stability.

[0042] The main unit 1 has a built-in rechargeable lithium battery 10 and a control circuit board 11; the control circuit board 11 integrates a charging interface module 16, a video interface module 17, a memory card reading module 18, and an audio interface module 19; the top surface of the main unit 1 is equipped with an electronic display screen 12 and physical buttons 13.

[0043] The built-in rechargeable lithium battery 10 provides a portable power solution, supporting extended outdoor use without relying on an external power source. The highly integrated control circuit board 11 enables multi-functional operation, simplifying user interaction. For example, recording, playback, or audio functions can be directly controlled via physical buttons 13, eliminating the need for additional equipment. The electronic display screen 12 shows underwater images in real time, while the physical buttons 13 provide intuitive operational feedback, enhancing user experience and efficiency.

[0044] The top surface of the main unit 1 is equipped with a flip-up protective cover 9 that is adapted to the size of the electronic display screen 12, providing a physical protective barrier to prevent the display screen from being scratched or damaged by collisions during transportation or storage.

[0045] The mounting structure 14 includes symmetrically arranged L-shaped side panels 140 and a support portion 141 integrally connected to the side panels. The integrated design of the symmetrical L-shaped side panels 140 and the support portion 141 of the mounting structure 14 provides a stable support platform, ensuring that the camera device 2 is not easily tilted or detached during installation, simplifying the installation and removal process. Users can quickly fix or disassemble the camera device 2 without tools, improving portability and operational efficiency.

[0046] The camera device 2 includes a housing 20 and a built-in camera assembly; the housing 20 has extension portions 200 on both sides; the extension portions 200 are engaged with the L-shaped side blocks 140 of the mounting structure 14, and the bottom surface of the extension portions 200 is supported by the support portion 141. The engagement of the extension portions 200 with the L-shaped side blocks 140 enables one-click installation, avoiding the cumbersome operation of threaded or bolted fixing and improving user convenience.

[0047] The extension part 200 is provided with two sets of longitudinal through holes 201; the camera device 2 is equipped with a counterweight 5; the counterweight 5 includes a horizontal section 50 and vertical sections 51 that are respectively vertically connected to both ends of the horizontal section; the two vertical sections 51 pass through the through holes 201, so that the counterweight 5 is fixedly assembled with the camera device 2.

[0048] The counterweight 5 is assembled through the vertical section 51 and the through hole 201, providing a simple and reliable fixing method to prevent the counterweight 5 from falling off. Especially in turbulent water environments, the counterweight 5 is a metal part. The structure of the horizontal section 50 and the vertical section 51 increases the weight at the bottom of the camera device 2, allowing it to sink quickly in the water and maintain a vertical posture, reducing water flow interference, effectively suppressing the tilting or rolling of the camera device 2 caused by underwater water flow impact, and improving image clarity.

[0049] The data cable 6 of the camera device 2 is wound up in the cable reel 3. The cable reel 3 winds up the data cable 6 when it rotates counterclockwise and unwinds the data cable 6 when it rotates clockwise. The cable reel 3 centrally manages the data cable 6 and controls the winding and unwinding by rotating in the direction of rotation, thus avoiding cable tangling and knotting.

[0050] The bottom surface of the cable reel 3 has a locking structure 7 for installing data cable connectors, which facilitates connector storage. The bottom surface of the cable reel 3 also has a crank connector 8, which supports quick crank installation and provides a manual, labor-saving operation method. The crank is detachable, increasing the flexibility of use and reducing the size of the device when not in use, making it easy to carry.

[0051] Working principle and usage steps of integrated fish finder device:

[0052] 1. Install camera equipment:

[0053] Align the extension 200 of the camera device 2 with the L-shaped side stop 140 of the mounting structure 14 and press it down until it is locked onto the support 141. To remove it, reverse the above operation to push the camera device 2 out of the mounting structure 14.

[0054] 2. Counterweight adjustment:

[0055] Insert the vertical section 51 of the counterweight 5 into the through hole 201, so that the horizontal section 50 is attached to the bottom of the camera device 2.

[0056] 3. Cable Deployment:

[0057] Rotate the winding reel 3 clockwise to release the data cable 6 and submerge the camera device 2 in the water; observe the underwater scene in real time through the electronic display screen 12.

[0058] 4. Operation Functions:

[0059] Physical button 13 controls the recording / playback / audio functions, and video data can be stored to the memory card of host 1.

[0060] 5. Storage equipment:

[0061] Rotate the cable reel 3 counterclockwise to wind up the cable, or install the crank handle to the connector 8 for effortless cable winding; close the protective cover 9 to protect the display screen.
