[0033] To explain in detail the technical content, objectives, and effects of this utility model, the following description is provided in conjunction with the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0034] Please refer to Figures 1-6 As shown, this utility model discloses a new type of dashcam that is effectively applicable to the automotive parts industry. This dashcam effectively solves the problems of fixed camera shooting angle and inconvenience and finger pain caused by pressing physical buttons in existing dashcams. It can optimize the user experience and make the camera shooting angle adjustable.

[0035] In this utility model, the dashcam specifically includes: a first housing 1 and a second housing 2 disposed at one end of the first housing 1, the second housing 2 being rotatably connected to the first housing 1; wherein the second housing 2 has a camera mounting hole 21 for mounting a camera assembly 3, and at least a portion of the camera assembly 3 extends from the camera mounting hole 21 to ensure that the camera assembly 3 can record normally; for example: Figure 1 As shown, in Figure 1 In the illustrated embodiment, the lens portion of the camera assembly 3 can be mounted from the camera mounting hole 21 of the second housing 2 (see [reference]). Figure 6 (As shown) Extend it to take a picture.

[0036] Accordingly, in the dashcam designed in this utility model, neither the first housing 1 nor the second housing 2 has physical buttons. Specifically, a touch control panel 4 is provided on one side surface of the first housing 1, and a control module is provided inside the first housing 1, so that the control module can communicate with the touch control panel 4 and the camera assembly 3 respectively.

[0037] A key feature of this application is that, compared to the traditional method of manually pressing physical buttons to control a dashcam, the dashcam designed in this invention can replace the physical buttons with a touch control panel 4. This allows users to send different control commands to the control module in the first housing 1 by touching different sections on the touch control panel 4 with their fingers. This operation mode greatly simplifies the user's control process and avoids the problem of finger pain caused by repeated touches.

[0038] Another key feature of this application is that, unlike traditional dashcams where the camera's shooting angle is fixed, the dashcam of this invention can control the second housing 2 to rotate relative to the first housing 1, thereby synchronously changing and adjusting the camera's shooting angle to meet the shooting needs of different scenarios.

[0039] Based on this, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in order to establish a relative rotational relationship between the second housing 2 and the first housing 1, in this embodiment, the dashcam also includes a rotating disk 5, which is rotatably disposed within the first housing 1. The first housing 1 has a through hole 11 at one end near the second housing 2, corresponding to the rotating disk 5. The second housing 2 can then be positioned to correspond to the through hole 11, and at least a portion of the second housing 2 can extend into the through hole 11, establishing a connection with the rotating disk 5. In this embodiment, for ease of installation, in practical application, the second housing 2 has a boss 24 on the side near the first housing 1, which extends into the through hole 11 and connects to the rotating disk 5.

[0040] In this utility model, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the rotating disk 5 can be provided with two first locking holes 51, which can be opened opposite each other on the rotating disk 5. The boss 24 of the second housing 2 is provided with two second locking holes 23 corresponding to the two first locking holes 51. When the boss 24 of the second housing 2 extends into the through hole 11, the two second locking holes 23 on the boss 24 can be set directly opposite the first locking holes 51 of the rotating disk 5. At this time, the first locking holes 51 and the second locking holes 23 can be passed through the bolts in sequence to lock the second housing 2 and the rotating disk 5. That is, the rotating disk 5 and the second housing 2 are then located on the inner and outer sides of the first housing 1 and rotate synchronously.

[0041] Accordingly, see further Figure 3 and Figure 4As can be seen, in this embodiment, in order to ensure that the rotation process of the second housing 2 is smoother than that of the first housing 1, an arc-shaped sliding groove 12 is provided on the outer surface of the first housing 1 near the second housing 2, and a slider 22 is provided on the surface of the second housing 2 near the first housing 1; wherein, at least a portion of the slider 22 can be accommodated in the arc-shaped sliding groove 12, so that when the second housing 2 rotates relative to the first housing 1, the slider 22 slides in the arc-shaped sliding groove 12.

[0042] It should be noted that, in order to avoid the problem of wire tangling between the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 caused by excessive rotation, the maximum rotation angle of the second housing 2 is also limited. That is, a blocking block 6 is set in the arc-shaped sliding groove 12 so that when the slider 22 slides to the appropriate position in the arc-shaped sliding groove 12, the blocking block 6 is used to block the slider 22 from sliding further in the arc-shaped sliding groove 12.

[0043] In this utility model, in order to obtain a better relative rotation effect, in this embodiment, the arc-shaped sliding groove 12 is provided to surround the through hole 11 of the first housing 1, and the through hole 11 is a circular hole, and the center of the through hole 11 is concentric with the arc center of the arc-shaped sliding groove 12; at the same time, in this embodiment, the rotating disk 5 can be specifically selected as a disc, and the center of the rotating disk 5 can be concentric with the arc center of the arc-shaped sliding groove 12.

[0044] In addition, to ensure that the dashcam designed by this utility model is aesthetically pleasing and easy to install, in practical applications, the bottom surface of the first housing 1 can be set as a plane, the top surface of the first housing 1 can be set as an arc surface, and the touch control panel 4 can be set on the arc surface accordingly.

[0045] In addition, in order to ensure that the dashcam can work properly, a charging port 13 needs to be provided on the first housing 1. The charging port 13 can be specifically located at the other end of the first housing 1 away from the second housing 2. The charging port 13 can be electrically connected to the camera assembly 3 so that in actual application, the charging port 13 can be electrically connected to an external power supply and supply power to the camera assembly 3.

[0046] In summary, the dashcam designed in this invention can replace physical buttons with a touch control panel 4, allowing users to send different control commands to the control module in the first housing 1 by touching different sections on the touch control panel 4, thereby optimizing the user experience. At the same time, in this dashcam, users can adjust the relative rotation angle of the second housing 2 to the first housing 1 according to actual application needs, thereby changing the camera's shooting angle. It has good prospects for promotion and application value.
