Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cycling recording technology, specifically a cycling recorder. Background Technology
[0002] Ride recorders, as a type of video recording device used for public transportation, utilize video technology to record real-time footage of the scene, providing advanced tools for supervising public transportation safety and collecting evidence of violations. Two-wheeled electric vehicles, motorcycles, and bicycles are essential modes of transportation in daily life, especially in crowded public places. Due to weak traffic awareness and disregard for traffic rules, accidents involving motor vehicles, other riders, and pedestrians frequently occur, causing personal injury and property damage. Furthermore, managing and collecting evidence after accidents is difficult, easily leading to disputes and seriously affecting social harmony.
[0003] Most existing cycling dashcams only have one camera position. Even if the shooting direction of the camera position can be changed, it can only shoot from one direction. Moreover, the installation position of the camera is not very flexible. When faced with shooting scenarios in different positions, it cannot be flexibly adjusted according to the user's needs.

The main unit has a built-in camera, the bracket has a first mounting position, and the main unit and / or the independent camera are detachably mounted on the first mounting position. The independent camera has a base plate that can be mounted on the bicycle frame or on the first mounting position.
[0006] Furthermore, the host has a second mounting position, and when the host is installed on the first mounting position, the independent camera can be detachably installed on the second mounting position.
[0007] Furthermore, the bracket includes a locking structure lockable to the frame and a base located above the locking structure, with the first mounting position located on the base.
[0008] Furthermore, the locking structure includes a clamp assembly that can be locked onto the frame.
[0009] Furthermore, the clamp assembly includes two opposing arc-shaped pieces, which enclose a locking area that can be locked onto the frame, and the two arc-shaped pieces are fixed by bolts.
[0010] Furthermore, the clamp assembly is provided with a silicone pad.
[0011] Furthermore, a support body is provided between the locking structure and the base, and the base is detachably mounted on the support body by screws.
[0012] Furthermore, the standalone camera includes a wiring harness connector for transmitting data and power, and the host has an interface for mounting the wiring harness connector.
[0013] Furthermore, the independent camera also includes an adjustment structure for adjusting the camera's pitch angle, the adjustment structure being mounted on the base plate.
[0014] Furthermore, the host also includes a housing, a lens protection structure disposed outside the housing, a memory card for storing the captured video files, a microphone for recording external sounds, a WIFI module, and a waterproof sealing ring.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: a cycling recorder, through the design of a bracket, can conveniently and flexibly install the main unit and / or independent camera, and through the base plate design of the independent camera, the installation flexibility of the independent camera is further enhanced, which can be installed on the bicycle frame or on the bracket, and can meet various different shooting conditions.

The main unit 1 has a built-in camera 106, and the bracket 3 has a first mounting position. The main unit 1 and / or the independent camera 2 can be detachably mounted on the first mounting position. The independent camera 2 has a base plate 22 that can be mounted on the bicycle frame or the first mounting position. In this embodiment, the bracket 3 is designed to facilitate flexible installation of the main unit 1 and / or the independent camera 2. The base plate 22 of the independent camera 2 further enhances the installation flexibility of the independent camera 2, allowing it to be mounted on either the bicycle frame or the bracket 3, enabling multi-position shooting in various shooting conditions. Specifically, this embodiment shows the main unit 1 mounted on the first mounting position. When the main unit 1 is not mounted on the first mounting position, the independent camera 2 can also be mounted on the first mounting position using its base plate 22. Alternatively, the size of the first mounting position can be designed so that the main unit 1 and the independent camera 2 can be mounted on the first mounting position simultaneously, for example, side by side. As can be seen, the main unit 1 and the independent camera 2 of this cycling recorder can be flexibly adjusted as needed. As for the detachable connection method, both can be achieved using screws or clips. Both the main unit 1 and the independent camera 2 are existing devices; the independent camera 2 can be used independently or in conjunction with the main unit 1, and this embodiment does not modify them.
