A camera flip cover device

Abstract

This utility model discloses a camera flip cover device, specifically relating to the field of camera technology. It includes a mounting assembly, in which a flip component is installed within the inner cavity of the mounting assembly. An observation component is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the flip component. Two rotating components are installed within the inner cavity of the mounting assembly, and each of the two rotating components is rotatably connected to a closing component at its closest point. This camera flip cover device, through the design of the observation component, allows for multi-angle flipping of the connecting plate, enabling users to easily observe the viewfinder from any posture. For scenarios such as selfies or group photos, the screen can be directly flipped to face the photographer, displaying the image content in real time. Users can intuitively adjust expressions, postures, and compositions. Furthermore, during prolonged shooting, a fixed screen often requires users to maintain awkward postures such as bending over or looking up, easily causing neck and lumbar fatigue. The flip screen adjusts to the most comfortable observation angle according to shooting needs, reducing physical strain.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of camera technology, and in particular to a camera flip cover device. Background Technology

[0002] A camera is a device that uses electronic sensors to convert optical images into electronic data. As cameras and other shooting devices are used in more and more scenarios, they are usually equipped with sensors to provide sensing and imaging. The sensors are usually fixedly mounted on a sensor plate, which is installed inside the camera housing through a slot or other structure. The center of force of the sensor plate is used as the reference point of the sensor.

[0003] In existing devices, traditional camera screens are mostly fixed or can only be adjusted to a small angle, making it difficult to adapt to the observation needs of different shooting postures. This forces users to maintain unnatural postures such as bending over and looking up during framing and composition, which can easily cause fatigue in the cervical and lumbar spine with long-term use. Therefore, we propose a camera flip cover device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide a camera flip cover device that can effectively solve the problems mentioned above.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A camera flip cover device includes a mounting assembly, in which a flip component is mounted in the inner cavity of the mounting assembly, an observation component is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the flip component, and two rotating components are mounted in the inner cavity of the mounting assembly, with a closing component rotatably connected to one end of each of the two rotating components that are close to each other.

[0007] Preferably, the mounting assembly includes a camera housing, a lens housing is mounted on the front end of the camera housing, two slide rails are provided inside the lens housing, and a lens is mounted inside the lens housing.

[0008] Preferably, the flipping assembly includes a first rotating shaft, which is installed in the inner cavity of the camera housing. A first flipping plate is installed on the outer surface of the first rotating shaft, and a second rotating shaft is installed at the left end of the first flipping plate.

[0009] Preferably, the observation component includes a connecting plate, the inner surface of which is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the second rotating shaft, a second flip plate is installed at the rear end of the connecting plate, and a display screen is installed in the inner cavity of the second flip plate.

[0010] Preferably, the rotating assembly includes two rotating blocks, both of which are installed in the inner cavity of the lens housing, and both of the rotating blocks have rotating plates fixedly connected to their outer surfaces.

[0011] Preferably, the enclosure assembly includes a flipping frame, with the ends of the two flipping frames that are far apart from each other being rotatably connected to the ends of the two rotating plates located in the same part that are close to each other. Each of the ends of the two flipping frames that are far apart from each other is equipped with a sliding shaft, and each of the front ends of the two sliding shafts is equipped with a fixing plate. The front ends of the two fixing plates are jointly equipped with a shielding plate.

[0012] Preferably, the ends of the two rotating blocks that are far apart from each other are rotatably connected to the left and right side walls of the inner cavity of the lens housing, and the outer surfaces of the two sliding shafts are slidably connected to the inner cavities of the two slide rails located in the same part.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. This device, through its designed flip and observation components, allows for multi-angle flipping of the connecting plate, enabling users to easily observe the viewfinder from any posture, ensuring accurate composition, focus, and exposure. For selfies or group photos, the screen can be flipped directly to face the photographer, displaying the content in real-time. This allows for intuitive adjustments to expressions, postures, and composition, significantly improving the efficiency and quality of selfies and real-time recording. Furthermore, during extended shooting sessions, a fixed screen often requires users to maintain awkward postures such as bending over or looking up, easily leading to neck and lumbar fatigue. The flip screen can be adjusted to the most comfortable viewing angle according to shooting needs, reducing physical strain.

[0015] 2. This device, through its designed rotating and sealing components, can completely cover the lens when closed. Compared to traditional separate lens caps, this integrated design offers a higher degree of fit, more tightly wrapping the front of the lens and effectively preventing dust, fingerprints, water droplets, sand, and other impurities from entering the lens. It also reduces damage to the lens elements from accidental collisions, making it especially suitable for complex environments such as outdoors, dust, and humidity. Traditional lens caps require manual removal and separate storage, necessitating an extra step before shooting and potentially missing a fleeting moment. The flip-top device, however, opens automatically via mechanical linkage, and the lens cap retracts automatically into the lower part of the lens, requiring no additional operation or storage steps. This makes the transition from preparing to shoot to framing the shot smoother, greatly improving the efficiency of capturing fleeting moments and the response speed for emergency shooting.

[0025] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0026] Example 1, as Figure 1 As shown, a camera flip cover device includes a mounting assembly 1, a flip assembly 2 installed in the inner cavity of the mounting assembly 1, an observation assembly 3 rotatably connected to the outer surface of the flip assembly 2, and two rotating assemblies 4 installed in the inner cavity of the mounting assembly 1. Each of the two rotating assemblies 4 is rotatably connected to a sealing assembly 5 at one end that is close to each other.

[0027] When implementing this solution, if the operator needs to take pictures, the operator can adjust the angle of the observation component 3 by rotating and flipping component 2 or observation component 3, so that the operator can see the picture of the observation component 3 from multiple angles. At the same time, the observation component 3 can be flipped to multiple angles, so that the operator can see the observation component 3 even when performing difficult actions.

[0028] Simultaneously, when the device is needed, the operator also needs to open the sealing component 5. The operator can directly pull the sealing component 5 to flip it over, achieving the effect of quickly opening the mounting component 1, allowing the operator to quickly capture images. After opening the sealing component 5, it will be located at the bottom of the mounting component 1, thus preventing the sealing component 5 from obstructing the mounting component 1 when using the ultra-wide-angle lens. Moreover, when the device is no longer in use, the operator can close the sealing component 5, which will completely cover the mounting component 1, thus preventing dust, water droplets, sand, and other impurities from entering the mounting component 1 and causing damage to it.

[0029] Specifically, in order to flip the display screen 33, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, in this solution, the mounting component 1 includes a camera housing 11, a lens housing 12 is mounted on the front end of the camera housing 11, two slide rails 13 are opened in the inner cavity of the lens housing 12, and a lens 14 is mounted in the inner cavity of the lens housing 12.

[0030] For further details, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 3 and Figure 6 The flip assembly 2 includes a rotating shaft 22, which is installed in the inner cavity of the camera housing 11. A flip plate 21 is installed on the outer surface of the rotating shaft 22, and a rotating shaft 23 is installed on the left end of the flip plate 21.

[0031] For further details, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 6 The observation component 3 includes a connecting plate 31, the inner surface of the connecting plate 31 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the rotating shaft 23, and a flip plate 32 is installed at the rear end of the connecting plate 31. A display screen 33 is installed in the inner cavity of the flip plate 32.

[0032] When implementing this solution, if the operator needs to take pictures, the operator can adjust the angle of the display screen 33 by rotating the rotating shaft 22 or the flip plate 32, so that the operator can see the image on the display screen 33 from multiple angles. At the same time, the coordinated flipping of the flip plate 21, the rotating shaft 23 and the connecting plate 31 can make the display screen 33 flipped to multiple angles, so that the operator can see the display screen 33 even when performing difficult actions.

[0033] Example 2 is based on Example 1, in which the cover plate 54 can be flipped.

[0034] Specifically, in order to flip the cover 54, such as Figure 8As shown, in this solution, the rotating component 4 includes rotating blocks 41. Both rotating blocks 41 are installed in the inner cavity of the lens housing 12, and rotating plates 42 are fixedly connected to the outer surfaces of both rotating blocks 41.

[0035] For further details, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 4 and Figure 7 The enclosed assembly 5 includes a flipping frame 51. The ends of the two flipping frames 51 that are far apart from each other are rotatably connected to the ends of the two rotating plates 42 located in the same part that are close to each other. Each of the ends of the two flipping frames 51 that are far apart from each other is equipped with a sliding shaft 52. Each of the front ends of the two sliding shafts 52 is equipped with a fixing plate 53. The front ends of the two fixing plates 53 are jointly equipped with a shielding plate 54.

[0036] For further details, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 7 and Figure 8 The ends of the two rotating blocks 41 that are far apart from each other are rotatably connected to the left and right walls of the inner cavity of the lens housing 12, and the outer surfaces of the two sliding shafts 52 are slidably connected to the inner cavities of the two slide rails 13 located in the same part.

[0037] When implementing this solution, the operator also needs to open the cover plate 54 when the device is needed. The operator can then directly pull the cover plate 54, which will cause the rotating block 41, rotating plate 42, and flipping frame 51 to rotate, allowing the sliding shaft 52 to slide within the slide rail 13, thereby achieving the effect of flipping the cover plate 54 and quickly opening the lens 14, allowing the operator to quickly capture images.

[0038] Furthermore, after the shield 54 is opened, the shield 54 will be located at the bottom of the lens housing 12, thereby preventing the shield 54 from blocking the lens 14 when shooting with an ultra-wide angle. Moreover, when the device is no longer in use, the shield 54 will completely cover the lens housing 12 when the operator closes it, thereby preventing dust, water droplets, sand and other impurities from entering the lens housing 12 and causing damage to the lens housing 12.

[0039] In summary, the implementation process of this utility model is as follows:

[0040] When the operator needs to take pictures, the operator can adjust the angle of the display screen 33 by rotating the rotating shaft 22 or the flip plate 32, so that the operator can see the picture of the display screen 33 from multiple angles. At the same time, the combined flip plate 21, rotating shaft 23 and connecting plate 31 can flip the display screen 33 to multiple angles, so that the operator can see the display screen 33 even when performing difficult actions.

[0041] At the same time, when the device needs to be used, the operator also needs to open the cover plate 54. The operator can directly pull the cover plate 54, which will cause the rotating block 41, the rotating plate 42, and the flipping frame 51 to rotate, and the sliding shaft 52 to slide in the slide rail 13, thereby achieving the effect of flipping the cover plate 54, thus achieving the effect of quickly opening the lens 14, allowing the operator to quickly capture the image.

[0042] Furthermore, after the shield 54 is opened, the shield 54 will be located at the bottom of the lens housing 12, thereby preventing the shield 54 from blocking the lens 14 when shooting with an ultra-wide angle. Moreover, when the device is no longer in use, the shield 54 will completely cover the lens housing 12 when the operator closes it, thereby preventing dust, water droplets, sand and other impurities from entering the lens housing 12 and causing damage to the lens housing 12.

[0043] It should be noted that the specific installation method, circuit connection method, and control method of the display screen 33 and other components used in this utility model are all conventional designs, and will not be described in detail here.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments.
