Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dashcams, and in particular to a novel dashcam. Background Technology
[0002] A dashcam, also known as a vehicle recorder, is an electronic device installed in a vehicle, primarily used to record video and audio during vehicle operation.
[0003] When a dashcam is installed at the front of the vehicle, the lens is easily scratched by friction with external objects. These scratches may seem minor, but they can interfere with light refraction and focusing, severely reducing the clarity and quality of the captured image. Furthermore, stones kicked up from the road during driving can have significant impact. If they hit the dashcam lens, they can not only directly damage the lens surface, affecting recording quality, but may also damage the delicate optical components inside the lens, rendering the dashcam unusable and reducing its lifespan. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem this utility model aims to solve is that when a dashcam is installed at the front of a vehicle, the dashcam lens is easily rubbed against external objects, resulting in scratches. These scratches may seem minor, but they can interfere with the refraction and focusing of light, severely reducing the clarity and quality of the captured image. At the same time, when a vehicle is driving on the road, stones splashed up from the road surface have a large impact force. Once they hit the dashcam lens, they may not only directly cause damage to the surface of the dashcam lens, affecting the recording effect, but may even damage the precision optical components inside the dashcam lens, causing the dashcam to malfunction and reducing its service life.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a novel dashcam, including a front panel, a dashcam lens is inserted and installed on the inner wall of one end of the front panel, and a dashcam lock cover is sleeved on the outer surface of one end of the dashcam lens. The dashcam lock cover is fixed to the front panel by bolts. A protective device is provided on one side of the inner wall of the front panel. The protective device can install a protective cover in one side of the inner wall of the front panel to cover one end of the dashcam lens, achieving the effect of anti-collision and anti-scratching. At the same time, it works with the defogging mechanism on the protective cover to defog the inside, so that the protective cover does not affect the use of the dashcam lens during the protection process.
[0006] Preferably, the protective device includes a protective cover, one end of which is inserted into the inner wall of one side of the front panel, the protective cover being made of transparent acrylic sheet; a casual fitting mechanism, wherein the casual fitting mechanism is disposed between the inner wall of one side of the front panel and one side of the protective cover, for limiting and fixing the inserted protective cover; and a defogging mechanism, wherein the defogging mechanism is disposed on the outer surface of the protective cover, for removing fog generated in the protective cover so that it does not affect the use of the dashcam lens.
[0007] The aforementioned components achieve the following effects: By incorporating protective devices, the dashcam works by capturing real-time video footage of the vehicle's movement through its lens and storing the image data on a memory card. It automatically activates when the vehicle starts upon connection to a power source and utilizes a loop recording function to overwrite older videos. The dashcam is also typically equipped with an accelerometer; in the event of a collision or sudden braking, the system automatically locks the current video file to prevent overwriting. When the dashcam is installed at the front of the vehicle, the lens is secured using a dashcam lock cover and bolts. Install the protective cover inside the inner wall of one side of the front panel, then fix the front panel to the front of the vehicle and power on the dashcam. At this time, the protective cover can be inserted into the inner wall of one side of the front panel using the convenient installation mechanism. This protects the dashcam lens from direct exposure to the outside, preventing scratches or impacts from stones, without affecting the recording effect and quality, and extending the life of the dashcam. At the same time, the defogging mechanism can eliminate fog inside the protective cover, so that the lens can still record clearly and improve the image quality when used in rainy weather or in environments with large temperature and humidity changes.
[0008] Preferably, the protective device further includes several reinforcing rods, wherein the two sides of the reinforcing rods are respectively fixedly installed on the two sides of the inner wall of the protective cover, and the reinforcing rods are made of transparent acrylic material.
[0009] The effect achieved by the above-mentioned components is that by setting up reinforcing rods, the corners of the inner wall of the protective cover can be supported and reinforced, thereby improving the protective strength and effect during use.
[0010] Preferably, the defogging mechanism includes a fan shroud, wherein one side of the fan shroud is fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the protective cover; a motor, wherein one side of the motor is fixedly mounted on one side of the fan shroud; a fan blade, wherein one end of the fan blade is installed through the inner wall of the fan shroud, and the output end is fixedly mounted on the output end of the motor via a coupling; a heating wire mesh, wherein the outer surface of the heating wire mesh is fixedly mounted in the inner wall of the fan shroud; and an air guide duct, wherein several ends of the air guide duct are respectively installed through the outer surface of the fan shroud and the outer surface of the protective cover.
[0011] The effect achieved by the above components is as follows: By setting up a defogging mechanism, when the vehicle is used in rainy weather or in an environment with high temperature and humidity, the heating wire mesh can be energized and heated first, and then the motor on the wind shield can be started to drive the fan blades to rotate, drawing the air outside the wind shield into the wind shield. When the air passes through the heating wire mesh, it will exchange heat with the surface temperature of the heating wire mesh, raising its temperature, and then flow into the air duct, and finally blow it into the interior of the protective shield, reducing the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the protective shield, preventing fogging inside the protective shield, ensuring clear lens shooting, and improving image quality.
[0012] Preferably, the defogging mechanism further includes a filter screen, wherein the inner wall of the filter screen is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the air inlet of the hood.
[0013] The effect achieved by the above components is that by setting up a filter, the air entering the wind shield can be filtered, preventing external dust and impurities from entering the interior of the protective shield and affecting the recording of the dashcam lens.
[0014] Preferably, the casual clothing mechanism includes two recessed blocks, one side of which is fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the protective cover, and the inner wall of one side of the front panel is symmetrically provided with locking holes; two locking rods, wherein the locking rods are slidably mounted in the inner wall of the recessed blocks, and one end is inserted into the locking hole; and two springs, wherein the two ends of the springs are respectively fixedly mounted on one side of the locking rod and one side of the inner wall of the recessed block.
[0015] The effect achieved by the above-mentioned components is as follows: By setting up a convenient installation mechanism, when inserting the protective cover into the inner wall of one side of the front panel, the locking rod can be pressed inward to a certain position in the inner wall of the groove block, causing the spring to contract. Then, both the protective cover and the locking rod are inserted into the inner wall of one side of the front panel, so that the locking rod is inserted into the locking hole until one side of the protective cover abuts against one side of the inner wall of the front panel. At this time, the locking rod is released, and under the reset action of the spring, one side of the locking rod abuts against one side of the front panel, thereby fixing the protective cover in the inner wall of the front panel and covering the dashcam lens. Similarly, after damage, it can also be disassembled for easy replacement and maintenance, making it convenient to use.
[0016] Preferably, the casual clothing mechanism further includes a telescopic rod, wherein the outer surface of the telescopic rod is inserted into the inner wall of the spring, and both ends are respectively fixedly installed on one side of the clamping rod and one side of the inner wall of the groove block.
[0017] The effect achieved by the above components is that by setting up the telescopic rod, the inner wall of the spring can be supported and reinforced, making it less prone to damage during use.
[0018] Preferably, an anti-slip block is fixedly installed on one side of the lever, wherein the anti-slip block is made of rubber.
[0019] The effect achieved by the above components is that by setting anti-slip blocks, the contact friction on one side of the lever can be increased, making it more secure and stable when it abuts against one side of the front panel.
[0020] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0021] By installing a protective device, when using the dashcam at the front of the vehicle, the dashcam lens is fixed to the inner wall of the front panel using a dashcam cover and bolts. Then, the front panel is fixed to the front of the vehicle, and the dashcam is powered on. At this point, a protective cover can be inserted into the inner wall of the front panel using a convenient mounting mechanism to protect the dashcam lens from direct exposure to scratches or impacts from stones. This does not affect the recording effect and quality, and extends the lifespan of the dashcam. At the same time, the defogging mechanism can eliminate fog inside the protective cover, ensuring clear image recording and improving image quality even in rainy weather or in environments with large temperature and humidity changes.

[0032] The implementation of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0033] Figure 1-7 The present invention relates to a novel dashcam, comprising a front panel 1, a dashcam lens 3 inserted into the inner wall of one end of the front panel 1, and a dashcam lock cover 4 fitted onto the outer surface of one end of the dashcam lens 3. The dashcam lock cover 4 is fixedly mounted on the front panel 1 by bolts. A protective device 2 is provided on one side of the inner wall of the front panel 1. The protective device 2 can be fitted with a protective cover 21 to cover one end of the dashcam lens 3, achieving the effect of anti-collision and anti-scratching. At the same time, the protective cover 21 is used in conjunction with a defogging mechanism 22 to defog the inside, so that the protective cover 21 does not affect the use of the dashcam lens 3 during the protection process.
[0034] Figure 1-7The protective device 2 shown includes a protective cover 21, one end of which is inserted into the inner wall of the front panel 1. The protective cover 21 is made of transparent acrylic sheet. A casual fitting mechanism 23 is provided between the inner wall of the front panel 1 and one side of the protective cover 21 to limit and fix the inserted protective cover 21. A defogging mechanism 22 is provided on the outer surface of the protective cover 21 to remove the fog generated in the protective cover 21 so that it does not affect the use of the dashcam lens 3. By installing the protective device 2, the dashcam lens 3 is fixedly installed in the inner wall of one side of the front panel 1 using the dashcam lock cover 4 and bolts. Then, the front panel 1 is fixed to the front of the vehicle, and the dashcam is powered on. At this time, the protective cover 21 can be inserted into the inner wall of one side of the front panel 1 using the installation mechanism 23, covering the exposed part of the dashcam lens 3 and preventing it from being scratched or hit by stones. This does not affect the recording effect and quality, and extends the service life of the dashcam. At the same time, the defogging mechanism 22 can eliminate fog inside the protective cover 21, so that the lens can still record clearly and improve the image quality when used in rainy weather or in environments with large temperature and humidity changes. The protective device 2 also includes several reinforcing rods 24, which are fixedly installed on both sides of the inner wall of the protective cover 21. The reinforcing rods 24 are made of transparent acrylic material. By setting up reinforcing rods 24, the corners of the inner wall of the protective cover 21 can be supported and reinforced, thereby improving the protective strength and effectiveness during use.
[0035] Figure 1-7The defogging mechanism 22 shown includes a fan shroud 221, one side of which is fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the protective cover 21; a motor 222, one side of which is fixedly mounted on one side of the fan shroud 221; a fan blade 223, one end of which is installed through the inner wall of the fan shroud 221, and the output end is fixedly mounted on the output end of the motor 222 via a coupling; a heating wire mesh 224, the outer surface of which is fixedly mounted in the inner wall of the fan shroud 221; and an air guide duct 225, several ends of which are respectively installed through the outer surface of the fan shroud 221 and the outer surface of the protective cover 21. By incorporating a defogging mechanism 22, when the vehicle is used in rainy weather or in environments with high temperature and humidity, the heating wire 224 is first energized and heated. Then, the motor 222 on the shroud 221 drives the fan blades 223 to rotate, drawing air from outside the shroud 221 into its interior. As the air passes through the heating wire 224, it exchanges heat with the surface of the wire 224, increasing its temperature. The air then flows into the air duct 225 and is finally blown into the interior of the protective cover 21, reducing the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the protective cover 21. This prevents fogging inside the protective cover 21, ensuring clear lens capture and improving image quality. The defogging mechanism 22 also includes a filter 226, the inner wall of which is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the air inlet of the shroud 221. By using the filter 226, the air entering the shroud 221 is filtered, preventing external dust and impurities from entering the protective cover 21 and affecting the recording function of the dashcam lens 3. It should be noted that the heating wire mesh 224 is a mature technology and equipment in the existing technology, and its internal structure, connection method and principle will not be described further.

By setting up the concealed mechanism 23, when inserting the protective cover 21 into the inner wall of one side of the front panel 1, the locking rod 234 can be pressed inward to a certain position in the inner wall of the groove block 232, causing the spring 233 to contract. Then, both the protective cover 21 and the locking rod 234 are inserted into the inner wall of one side of the front panel 1, so that the locking rod 234 is inserted into the locking hole 231 until one side of the protective cover 21 abuts against one side of the inner wall of the front panel 1. Then, the locking rod 234 is released, so that under the reset action of the spring 233, one side of the locking rod 234 abuts against one side of the front panel 1, thereby fixing the protective cover 21 in the inner wall of the front panel 1 and covering the dashcam lens 3. Similarly, after damage, it can also be disassembled for easy replacement and maintenance, making it convenient to use.
[0037] Figure 1-7 The illustrated casual clothing mechanism 23 also includes a telescopic rod 235, the outer surface of which is inserted into the inner wall of the spring 233, and both ends are fixedly installed on one side of the latch 234 and the inner wall of the recessed block 232, respectively. By providing the telescopic rod 235, the inner wall of the spring 233 can be supported and reinforced, making it less prone to damage during use. An anti-slip block 236, made of rubber, is fixedly installed on one side of the latch 234. By providing the anti-slip block 236, the contact friction on one side of the latch 234 can be increased, making it more secure and stable when it abuts against one side of the front panel 1.
[0038] Working Principle: The dashcam works by using its lens 3 to capture real-time video footage of the vehicle in motion and storing the image data on a memory card. It automatically starts recording when the vehicle is powered on and uses a loop recording function to overwrite older videos. The dashcam is also typically equipped with an accelerometer; in the event of a collision or sudden braking, the system automatically locks the current video file to prevent overwriting. When the dashcam is installed at the front of the vehicle, the lens 3 records video through the vehicle's camera... The instrument lock cover 4 and bolts are fixedly installed in the inner wall of one side of the front panel 1. Then, the front panel 1 is fixed at the front of the vehicle, and the dashcam is powered on. When inserting the protective cover 21 into the inner wall of one side of the front panel 1, the locking rod 234 can be pressed inward in the inner wall of the groove block 232 to a certain position, which will cause the spring 233 to contract. Then, both the protective cover 21 and the locking rod 234 are inserted into the inner wall of one side of the front panel 1, so that the locking rod 234 is inserted into the locking hole 231 until one side of the protective cover 21 abuts against the wall. On one side of the inner wall of the front panel 1, the latch 234 is released, and under the reset action of the spring 233, one side of the latch 234 abuts against one side of the front panel 1. This fixes the protective cover 21 in the inner wall of the front panel 1, covering the exposed part of the dashcam lens 3 and preventing it from being directly exposed to the outside, thus avoiding scratches or impacts from stones. This does not affect the recording effect and quality, and extends the service life of the dashcam. Additionally, when the vehicle is used in rainy weather or in environments with high temperature and humidity, it can... First, the heating wire mesh 224 is energized to heat it up. Then, the motor 222 on the fan cover 221 is started to drive the fan blades 223 to rotate, drawing air from outside the fan cover 221 into its interior. As the air passes through the heating wire mesh 224, it exchanges heat with the surface of the heating wire mesh 224, increasing its temperature. The air then flows into the air duct 225 and is finally blown into the interior of the protective cover 21, reducing the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the protective cover 21, preventing fogging inside the protective cover 21, ensuring clear lens shooting, and improving image quality.
