Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of camera housing technology, and in particular to a drop-proof protective housing for a news camera. Background Technology

[0002] The camera housing is the core protective structure and functional support of the camera, and its design integrates multiple considerations of materials engineering, structural mechanics, and industrial aesthetics. Common manufacturing materials include lightweight, high-strength engineering plastics such as polycarbonate, magnesium-aluminum alloys, and carbon fiber composites. These materials not only ensure the housing's durability and impact resistance but also effectively dissipate heat generated by internal components, maintaining stable equipment operation. The housing structure is precisely calculated, employing a unibody or modular design, with reinforced protection in key areas, such as reinforced lens mounts and sealed interface compartments, to achieve dustproof, splashproof, and even waterproof functions, adapting to the needs of field shooting or use in extreme environments. Ergonomic design is consistently applied; the curvature of the handle, the layout of buttons, and the position of interfaces are all optimized for intuitive operation and minimal fatigue. In addition, the housing surface often uses a frosted or rubber coating, which is both non-slip and wear-resistant, and also improves grip comfort. To expand the camera's application scenarios, the housing is also designed with standard accessory interfaces such as cold shoes, tripod screw holes, and rail slots, supporting external microphones, fill lights, or other auxiliary equipment. Electromagnetic shielding performance is also a crucial aspect of the housing design, preventing signal interference and ensuring the purity of image data transmission. Overall, the camera housing achieves a unified approach to protection, heat dissipation, expansion, and operation at the technical level, while pursuing a simple yet professional visual expression in terms of appearance. It represents an industrial product that highly combines functionality and aesthetic value.

[0003] In existing technologies, camera housings typically do not have professional-grade drop protection. When a camera is accidentally dropped, its delicate surface components are very likely to collide directly with the ground, causing scratches, deformation, or displacement of the internal structure, which in turn affects the normal use of the equipment and the image quality.

The side plate 11 is fixedly connected to the end of the two thin rods 10. The second anti-fall component is provided in multiple sets, and the multiple sets of the second anti-fall component are respectively connected to multiple side plates 11.

[0018] In this embodiment: the two positioning frames 1 in the clamping assembly are used to install on the surface of the camera. The two positioning frames 1 form a frame-like structure, which makes it easy to display the precision parts on the camera surface when the camera is installed, making it convenient for the user to view, while protecting the camera and improving its drop resistance. The first protective component is located on the side of the two positioning frames 1 to protect the camera from the side. The circular sleeve 9 is fixed to the surface of the positioning frame 1, and the thin rod 10 slides inside the circular sleeve 9. The first spring is fixedly connected inside the circular sleeve 9 and is also connected to the thin rod 10. The side plate 11 is fixed to the surface of the thin rod 10. When the camera falls, the side plate 11 contacts the ground, and the side plate 11 drives the thin rod 10 to slide inside the circular sleeve 9.

The top plate 15 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the two support rods 14.

[0020] In this embodiment: the second sleeve 12 in the second anti-fall assembly is fixed to the surface of the side plate 11, the buffer block 13 slides inside the second sleeve 12, two second springs 16 connect the second sleeve 12 and the buffer block 13, and the support rod 14 is fixed to the surface of the buffer block 13, extending the protection distance of the top plate 15; when the news camera falls, the top plate 15 contacts the ground, and the top plate 15 drives the buffer block 13 to slide inside the second sleeve 12 through the support rod 14. The two second springs 16 located inside the second sleeve 12 are squeezed and then release their elasticity, so that the news camera gets an effective cushioning effect and improves the anti-fall performance of the news camera.

[0021] like Figures 1-4 As shown, positioning grooves 7 are provided on the surface of multiple positioning frames 1.

[0022] In this embodiment: the positioning slide 8 is connected to the positioning slide groove 7, so that the positioning slide 8 can slide within the positioning slide groove 7.

The positioning slide plate 8 is slidably connected in the positioning slide 7. The positioning bolt 6 is slidably connected in the connecting plate 5. The positioning bolt 6 is threadedly connected to the positioning slide plate 8.

[0024] In this embodiment: the positioning component is used to position the connecting plate 5 and the positioning frame 1 after adjustment. After the adjustment is completed, the positioning bolt 6 is rotated to make the positioning bolt 6 threadedly connected to the positioning slide plate 8, thereby locking the positioning frame 1 and the connecting plate 5 and completing their positioning.

[0025] like Figures 1-4 As shown, multiple limiting grooves 3 are provided on the surfaces of the two positioning frames 1, and multiple connecting plates 5 are slidably connected in the multiple limiting grooves 3.

[0026] In this embodiment: the limiting groove 3 is used to connect the connecting plate 5, which improves the stability of the positioning frame 1 sliding within the connecting plate 5.

[0027] like Figures 1-4 As shown, rubber pads 4 are fixedly connected to the surfaces of both positioning frames 1.

[0028] In this embodiment, the rubber pad 4 is used to protect the surface of the camera and prevent indentations or scratches caused by the rigid contact between the positioning frame 1 and the camera surface.

[0029] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the surfaces of the two side plates 11 are fixedly connected with first buffer pads, and the surfaces of the multiple top plates 15 are fixedly connected with second buffer pads.

[0030] In this embodiment, both the first and second buffer pads are made of rubber to further improve the buffering performance of the side plate 11 and the top plate 15.

[0031] In use, the news camera is first installed in the two positioning frames 1, and the size of the clamping components is adjusted so that the two positioning frames 1 fit snugly against the surface of the news camera. After adjustment, the positioning bolts 6 are rotated to lock the positioning frames 1 and the connecting plate 5.
