Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of camera technology, and in particular to a battery-powered camera. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing demand for security monitoring, battery-powered cameras have been widely used in outdoor temporary monitoring, remote area monitoring, smart home and other fields due to their advantages such as flexible deployment and no need for wiring.

[0003] Traditional all-in-one battery cameras typically integrate key components responsible for core monitoring functions (such as lenses, image sensors, and processors), power supply modules (batteries and power management circuits), and human-machine interfaces (such as buttons, status lights, and charging ports) into the same cavity. A front cover is set on the outside of the cavity, and the corresponding operations can be performed by opening the front cover when human-machine interaction, charging, or battery replacement is required.

[0004] However, outdoor environments (especially areas with high humidity, rain, fog, and large temperature differences) contain a large amount of water vapor. Every time the front cover is opened for battery replacement or operation, external humid air will inevitably enter the cavity. When the ambient temperature changes (such as cooling at night or warming during the day), water vapor can easily condense on the inner surface of the lens, the inside of the protective window, or the surface of the sensor, causing problems such as blurred monitoring images and glare. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model provides a battery-powered camera that can solve the problems in related technologies, such as the ingress of external moisture into the lens due to frequent opening of the front cover, resulting in blurred monitoring images and glare.

[0006] This utility model provides a battery-powered camera, including a housing assembly, a camera function module, a power supply module, and a human-machine interaction module. The housing assembly contains a first cavity and a second cavity, which are independent of each other. The first cavity is configured to house the camera function module, and the second cavity is configured to house the power supply module and the human-machine interaction module. The operating areas of the power supply module and the human-machine interaction module are located within the second cavity. One side of the second cavity has an operating port. The housing assembly includes a flip-top structure that can be opened and closed on one side of the operating port. The flip-top structure is used to open or close the operating port. When the flip-top structure is closed at the operating port, it is sealed to the periphery of the operating port, thus forming a sealed second cavity between the flip-top structure and the housing assembly.

[0007] The battery-powered camera provided in this application embodiment comprises a housing assembly including a first cavity and a second cavity. The first cavity houses the camera module, while the second cavity houses the power supply module and the human-machine interface module. A flip-top structure corresponding to the second cavity is also included. In other words, by separating the camera module from the power supply and human-machine interface modules, only the second cavity corresponding to the power supply and human-machine interface modules needs to be opened for battery replacement or human-machine interaction. This ensures the camera module's airtightness, preventing moisture from entering the camera module in outdoor environments (especially high humidity, rain, fog, and areas with large temperature differences). It also prevents condensation on the inner surface of the lens, the inner side of the protective window, or other components of the camera module during temperature changes (such as nighttime cooling or daytime warming), thus avoiding problems such as blurred images and glare. This reduces maintenance costs and extends service life.

[0008] In one possible implementation, a first sealing ring is provided around the periphery of the operating port. The first sealing ring is fixedly connected to the housing assembly. A first rib is provided on the side of the flip structure facing the sealing ring. When the flip structure is closed, the first rib is sealed to the first sealing ring, so that the flip structure forms a sealed connection with the operating port through the first sealing ring.

[0009] By incorporating a first sealing ring around the operating opening, the seal between the flip-top structure and the operating opening is improved, effectively preventing dust, moisture, air, and other external contaminants from entering the second cavity and protecting the internal components. The sealing ring typically possesses good elasticity and wear resistance, maintaining a good seal during repeated opening and closing, thus extending the lifespan of the battery-powered camera. Furthermore, by adding a first rib to the flip-top structure, a compressive force is applied between the rib and the second sealing ring when the flip-top structure is closed at the operating opening, further enhancing the sealing performance.

[0010] In one possible implementation, the housing assembly has a first mounting groove on the side wall around the operating port; a first sealing ring is disposed in the first mounting groove; the first sealing ring has a second rib formed on at least one of its two sides in the width direction, the second rib being configured to interfere with the first mounting groove when the first sealing ring is inserted into the first mounting groove.

[0011] By setting a first mounting groove and a second rib on the first sealing ring, the interference fit between the second rib and the first mounting groove provides mechanical fixing force, allowing the first sealing ring to fit more tightly within the first mounting groove. This ensures the stability of the sealing ring within the first mounting groove and prevents displacement or detachment of the first sealing ring relative to the first mounting groove during the opening of the flip-top structure, thus maintaining continuous and effective sealing performance. This design provides clear positioning during installation, making the installation of the sealing ring simpler and faster, and reducing the possibility of installation errors.

[0012] In one possible implementation, the first sealing ring includes a first groove and a second groove located on both sides of the thickness direction of the first sealing ring, with the first groove facing the bottom of the first mounting groove; wherein the first rib is configured to have an interference fit with the second groove when the flip structure is closed.

[0013] By configuring the first sealing ring with a first groove and a second groove, and by providing a first rib on the flip structure that matches the shape of the second groove, the first rib can be embedded into the second groove when the flip structure is closed at the operating opening, thereby improving the sealing performance. Furthermore, in the compressed assembly state, the first rib faces the back of the first groove pressing against the first sealing ring. The advantage of this design is that the interference between the first rib and the second sealing ring can reach more than 50%. Since the first groove helps absorb the deformation and rebound force of the first sealing ring, it avoids the problem of uneven compression surface of the first sealing ring after the flip structure is closed, effectively improving airtightness.

[0014] In one possible implementation, the human-computer interaction module includes an interface circuit board and a silicone plug; wherein, the interface circuit board has a docking seat and an interactive component at both ends in the depth direction of the second cavity; the second cavity has a second assembly slot, which connects the first cavity and the second cavity, and a plug-in seat is provided in the second assembly slot; the interface circuit board is inserted into the second assembly slot, and the docking seat is connected to the plug-in seat, and the interactive component is located in the second cavity; a silicone plug is provided between the interface circuit board and the second assembly slot, and the silicone plug is sealed to both the interface circuit board and the wall of the second assembly slot.

[0015] By connecting the first and second cavities with the second assembly slot, the interface circuit board can be electrically connected to the camera module in the first cavity via a connector. By placing a silicone plug between the interface circuit board and the second assembly slot, and sealing the silicone plug to both the interface circuit board and the second assembly slot, an airtight isolation can be achieved between the first and second cavities. This prevents dust, moisture, air, and other contaminants from entering the first cavity through the second assembly slot, ensuring the normal operation of the camera module in the first cavity.

[0016] In addition, due to the excellent elasticity and shock absorption properties of silicone material, it can provide cushioning protection for the interface circuit board, reducing the impact of external shocks and vibrations on the interface circuit board and extending its service life. Since the interface circuit board includes a plate-like structure and various electronic components, its structure is relatively complex. Therefore, fixing it to the second assembly slot using silicone plugs reduces the difficulty of installation and disassembly compared to directly connecting the interface circuit board to the second assembly slot, facilitating maintenance and replacement, and lowering maintenance complexity.

[0017] In one possible implementation, the human-computer interaction module further includes a decorative cover; the decorative cover is sleeved on the outside of the interface circuit board and the second assembly slot from one end of the interface circuit board where the interactive component is located, and is engaged with the cavity wall of the second cavity.

[0018] By placing the decorative cover on the outside of the interface circuit board, the electronic components on the interface circuit board can be protected. By engaging the decorative cover with the cavity wall of the second cavity, the stability of the decorative cover can be improved, preventing it from loosening or falling off during use.

[0019] In one possible implementation, the second assembly groove includes an extension wall extending along the depth direction of the second cavity; a first limiting part is provided at one end of the extension wall near the operation port; two first limiting parts are arranged opposite to each other along a first direction; a second limiting part is provided on the interface circuit board to cooperate with the first limiting part; when the silicone plug is inserted into the second assembly groove, the first limiting part and the second limiting part are connected in a limiting connection in the first direction and the thickness direction of the interface circuit board, and the first direction is perpendicular to the thickness direction of the interface circuit board.

[0020] The cooperation of the first and second limiting parts provides additional mechanical fixing force for the interface circuit board and the second assembly slot, ensuring the stability of the interface circuit board within the second assembly slot and preventing it from moving or loosening during use. The first and second limiting parts provide dual limiting in both the first direction and the thickness direction of the interface circuit board, preventing misalignment or displacement of the interface circuit board due to vibration or external forces, ensuring that the interface circuit board always remains in the correct position.

[0021] In one possible implementation, the outer side of the silicone plug is provided with a third rib, which is configured to have an interference fit with the second assembly groove when the silicone plug is inserted into the second assembly groove; the outer periphery of the end of the silicone plug away from the operating port is sealed to the groove wall of the second assembly groove by a sealant.

[0022] By providing a third rib on the outer side of the silicone plug and achieving a mechanical fixation and sealing connection through an interference fit between the third rib and the second assembly groove, the stability and sealing of the interface circuit board within the second assembly groove are ensured, preventing loosening or displacement of the interface circuit board due to vibration or external force during use. Furthermore, achieving the interference fit through the third rib, compared to making the entire silicone plug larger, saves materials, reduces costs, and provides a restraint for dispensing sealant, facilitating control of sealant application and preventing side leakage.

[0023] In one possible implementation, the housing assembly includes a first housing and a second housing; the first housing has a first partition wall inside, and the second housing has a second partition wall that matches the first partition wall inside; the first housing covers the top of the second housing, and the first partition wall and the second partition wall are arranged opposite to each other, and the first partition wall and the second partition wall divide the internal space of the first housing and the second housing into a first cavity and a second cavity; the operation port is provided in the first housing, and the flip-top structure is provided in the first housing.

[0024] By dividing the housing into two parts and separating the internal space with partition walls, a modular design is achieved. This allows different functional modules to operate independently in their respective cavities, facilitating manufacturing, assembly, and maintenance. The relative arrangement of the first and second partition walls increases the strength and rigidity of the entire housing structure, providing better mechanical stability and resistance to external shocks and vibrations. Furthermore, the design of the first and second partition walls helps to provide an additional sealing barrier between the different cavities, preventing dust or moisture from the second cavity from entering the first cavity, thereby improving the sealing performance of the first cavity and ensuring the normal operation of the camera module. The modular cavity design makes it easier to access and replace specific modules when maintenance or upgrades are needed, without affecting the normal operation of other parts.

[0025] In one possible implementation, a second sealing ring is provided between the first housing and the second housing; a connecting section is provided inside the second sealing ring, the shape of which matches the shape of the first partition wall; the first housing and the second housing are sealed together by the second sealing ring, and the connecting section is sealed together with both the first partition wall and the second partition wall.

[0026] By incorporating a second sealing ring, a complete sealing barrier is provided, ensuring that the connection between the first and second housings is unaffected by the external environment and preventing the intrusion of dust, moisture, air, and other contaminants. The sealed connection between the connecting section and the first and second partition walls provides an additional layer of sealing, preventing an airtight separation between the first and second cavities and preventing dust, moisture, air, and other contaminants from entering the first cavity from the second cavity. The design of the connecting section not only provides a sealing function but also enhances the mechanical connection strength between the two partition walls, improving the stability and impact resistance of the entire housing structure. The material of the second sealing ring is typically elastic, which can absorb and buffer external impacts and vibrations to a certain extent, protecting internal components from damage.

[0027] In one possible implementation, the side of the second housing facing the operating port is provided with a positioning post extending along the direction from the second housing to the first housing; the side of the power supply module facing the second housing is provided with a positioning hole corresponding to the positioning post, the side of the power supply module is provided with a locking part, and the cavity wall of the second cavity is provided with a mating part that engages with the locking part; when the power supply module is placed in the second cavity, the positioning post is located in the positioning hole, and the locking part and the mating part are engaged and connected.

[0028] By incorporating positioning posts and holes, the power supply module can be automatically aligned during installation, achieving precise positioning. This reduces adjustment steps during installation, improving efficiency and accuracy. The engaging connection between the locking and mating parts provides additional mechanical holding force, ensuring the stability of the power supply module within the second cavity and preventing loosening or displacement due to vibration or external forces during use. This design simplifies and speeds up the installation and removal of the power supply module, eliminating the need for additional tools or complex procedures, thus enhancing production and maintenance efficiency.

[0029] In one possible implementation, the flip structure is connected to the housing assembly via a pivot connection structure; the housing assembly is also provided with a locking assembly located on the side opposite the operating port to the pivot connection structure. The locking assembly is used to lock the locking assembly to the housing assembly after the flip structure is closed, so as to maintain a sealed connection between the flip structure and the operating port of the second cavity.

[0030] By incorporating a locking assembly, the flip cover is securely locked to the housing assembly when closed, maintaining a sealed connection at the operating port and preventing dust, moisture, air, and other contaminants from entering the device. The pivot connection provides the flip cover's axis of rotation, allowing for smooth opening and closing, while the locking assembly provides additional holding force, ensuring the flip cover's stability and secureness when closed. This design allows users to easily open and close the flip cover, providing a superior user experience. The locking assembly automatically locks the flip cover after closing, simplifying operation. The locking assembly effectively prevents the flip cover from accidentally opening under external vibration or impact, protecting the safety and integrity of the internal components.

[0069] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0070] Traditional all-in-one battery cameras typically integrate key components responsible for core monitoring functions (such as lenses, image sensors, and processors), power supply modules (batteries and power management circuits), and human-machine interfaces (such as buttons, status lights, and charging ports) into the same cavity. A front cover is set on the outside of the cavity, and the corresponding operations can be performed by opening the front cover when human-machine interaction, charging, or battery replacement is required.

[0071] Outdoor environments (especially areas with high humidity, rain, fog, and large temperature differences) contain a large amount of moisture in the air. Every time the front cover is opened for battery replacement or other operations, external humid air inevitably enters the internal cavity of the device. Precision optical and electronic components such as lens assemblies and image sensors are extremely sensitive to moisture. The intruding moisture will adhere to the surfaces of these components or the inner walls of the cavity.

[0072] To combat internal humidity, existing designs typically place desiccants (such as silica gel) inside the cavity to absorb intruding or generated moisture, maintaining a dry internal environment. However, frequent opening and closing of the cover leads to repeated and large-scale influx of moisture, causing the desiccant to quickly reach saturation and lose its moisture-absorbing capacity in a much shorter time than expected. Once the desiccant fails, internal moisture cannot be effectively removed. During changes in ambient temperature (such as nighttime cooling or daytime warming), water vapor easily condenses on the inner surface of the lens, the inside of the protective window, or the sensor surface. This not only causes blurred monitoring images and glare, but in severe cases, can even damage the image sensor or cause short circuits. Users are forced to replace the desiccant more frequently or return the device for repair, significantly increasing maintenance costs and reducing equipment availability and monitoring effectiveness.

[0073] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides a battery-powered camera. By setting up two cavities, the camera module is separated from the power supply module and the human-machine interface module. When replacing the battery or changing the human-machine interface, only the second cavity corresponding to the power supply module and the human-machine interface module needs to be opened for operation. This ensures the camera module's airtightness, preventing moisture from the air in outdoor environments (especially in high humidity, rainy, foggy, and large temperature difference areas) from entering the camera module. It also prevents condensation on the inner surface of the lens, the inner side of the protective window, or other components of the camera module during temperature changes (such as nighttime cooling or daytime warming), thus avoiding problems such as blurred monitoring images and glare. This reduces maintenance costs and extends the camera's service life.

[0074] The battery-powered camera provided in the embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0075] For ease of description, the depth direction of the first cavity and the second cavity is represented as the z-direction, the first direction is represented as the x-direction, and the direction from the first cavity to the second cavity is represented as the y-direction.

[0076] The structure of the battery-powered camera will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0077] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a battery-powered camera provided in an embodiment of this utility model. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the flip structure of a battery-powered camera when it is opened, according to an embodiment of this utility model. Figure 3 This is an exploded structural diagram of a battery-powered camera provided in an embodiment of this utility model.

[0078] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the battery-powered camera 100 may include a housing assembly 10, a camera function module 20, a power supply module 30, and a human-machine interface module 40. The housing assembly 10 internally forms a first cavity 13 and a second cavity 14, which are independent of each other. The first cavity 13 is configured to house the camera function module 20, and the second cavity 14 is configured to house the power supply module 30 and the human-machine interface module 40. The operating areas of the power supply module 30 and the human-machine interface module 40 are located within the second cavity 14. One side of the second cavity 14 has an operating port 141. The housing assembly 10 includes a flip-top structure 15, which can be opened and closed on one side of the operating port 141. The flip-top structure 15 is used to open or close the operating port 141. When the flip-top structure 15 is closed to the operating port 141, it is sealed to the periphery of the operating port 141, thus forming a sealed second cavity 14 between the flip-top structure 15 and the housing assembly 10.

[0079] It should be noted that "mutual independence" refers to the airtight separation between the first cavity 13 and the second cavity 14, meaning that moisture, gas, etc. in the second cavity 14 cannot enter the first cavity 13.

[0080] The "operation area" refers to the area where the power supply module 30 and the human-machine interface module 40 can be operated. This can be understood as an area where operations such as battery replacement and data transmission can be performed.

[0081] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the camera function module 20 may include components such as a lens module, a light board, an antenna, an image sensor, and a processor. Correspondingly, a lens structure corresponding to the lens module is provided on the housing assembly 10 to enable the camera function module 20 to acquire image information. In this embodiment, the specific structure of the camera function module 20 is not further limited; a camera function module 20 from related technologies can be adopted depending on the specific circumstances.

[0082] It should be noted that the power supply module 30 may include components such as a battery 31 and a battery adapter board 32, and the power supply module 30 can supply power to the camera function module 20 and the human-computer interaction module 40. In this embodiment, the model and specific structure of the power supply module 30 are not further described.

[0083] It should be noted that the human-computer interaction module 40 may include a function area panel 44, on which multiple interactive components 411 may be provided, such as a reset button, indicator lights, and connectors (charging connectors, data transmission connectors, etc.). In this embodiment, the type, quantity, and shape of the interactive components 411 on the function area panel 44 are not further limited and can be set according to specific needs. The function area panel 44 may be located on the side of the human-computer interaction module 40 facing the operation port 141, so that the function area panel 44 can be directly accessed when the flip structure 15 is opened.

[0084] The battery-powered camera 100 provided in this application embodiment includes a housing assembly 10 comprising a first cavity 13 and a second cavity 14. A camera function module 20 is housed in the first cavity 13, and a power supply module 30 and a human-machine interface module 40 are housed in the second cavity 14. A flip-top structure 15 corresponding to the second cavity 14 is also provided. In other words, by separating the camera function module 20 from the power supply module 30 and the human-machine interface module 40, only the second cavity 14 corresponding to the power supply module 30 and the human-machine interface module 40 needs to be opened for operation when replacing the battery 31 or using the human-machine interface. This ensures the airtightness of the camera function module 20, preventing moisture from entering the camera function module 20 in outdoor environments (especially in areas with high humidity, rain, fog, and large temperature differences). It also prevents condensation on the inner surface of the lens, the inner side of the protective window, or other components of the camera function module 20 during temperature changes (such as nighttime cooling or daytime warming), thus avoiding problems such as blurred monitoring images and glare. This reduces maintenance costs and extends service life.

[0085] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the housing assembly 10 may include a first housing 11, a second housing 12, a first sealing ring 16, and a second sealing ring 17. The first housing 11 covers the top of the second housing 12, forming a first cavity 13 and a second cavity 14 between the first housing 11 and the second housing 12. In the z-direction, an operating port 141 is located on the side of the first housing 11 facing away from the second housing 12, and a flip-top structure 15 is located on the first housing 11, and the flip-top structure 15 can be opened and closed outside the operating port 141.

[0086] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the first housing 11 has a first partition wall 111 inside, and the second housing 12 has a second partition wall 121 that matches the first partition wall 111 inside. The first housing 11 covers the top of the second housing 12, and the first partition wall 111 and the second partition wall 121 are arranged opposite to each other. The first partition wall 111 and the second partition wall 121 divide the internal space of the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 into a first cavity 13 and a second cavity 14.

[0087] By dividing the housing into two parts and separating the internal space with partition walls, a modular design is achieved. This allows different functional modules to operate independently in their respective cavities, facilitating manufacturing, assembly, and maintenance. The relative arrangement of the first partition wall 111 and the second partition wall 121 increases the strength and rigidity of the entire housing structure, providing better mechanical stability and resistance to external impacts and vibrations. Furthermore, the design of the first partition wall 111 and the second partition wall 121 helps to provide an additional sealing barrier between the different cavities, preventing dust or moisture from the second cavity 14 from entering the first cavity 13, thereby improving the sealing performance of the first cavity 13 and ensuring the normal operation of the camera module 20. The modular cavity design makes it easier to access and replace specific modules when maintenance or upgrades are needed, without affecting the normal operation of other parts.

[0088] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a second sealing ring 17 is provided between the first housing 11 and the second housing 12. The second sealing ring 17 has a connecting section 171 inside, and the shape of the connecting section 171 matches the shape of the first partition wall 111. The first housing 11 and the second housing 12 are sealed together by the second sealing ring 17, and the connecting section 171 is sealed together with both the first partition wall 111 and the second partition wall 121.

[0089] It should be noted that, in this embodiment of the application, the specific shapes of the first partition wall 111, the second partition wall 121, and the connecting segment 171 are not further limited, and can be set according to actual needs.

[0090] By incorporating the second sealing ring 17, a complete sealing barrier is provided, ensuring that the connection between the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 is unaffected by the external environment and preventing the intrusion of dust, moisture, air, and other contaminants. The sealed connection between the connecting segment 171 and the first partition wall 111 and the second partition wall 121 provides an additional layer of sealing and also prevents an airtight separation between the first cavity 13 and the second cavity 14, preventing dust, moisture, air, and other contaminants from entering the first cavity 13 from the second cavity 14. The design of the connecting segment 171 not only provides a sealing function but also enhances the mechanical connection strength between the two partition walls, improving the stability and impact resistance of the entire housing structure. The material of the second sealing ring 17 is typically elastic, which can absorb and buffer external impacts and vibrations to a certain extent, protecting internal components from damage.

[0091] In one possible implementation, combining Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the second housing 12 has a positioning post 122 extending along the direction (z-direction) from the second housing 12 to the first housing 11 on the side facing the operation port 141. The power supply module 30 has a positioning hole 311 corresponding to the positioning post 122 on the side facing the second housing 12, and a locking part 312 on the side of the power supply module 30. The cavity wall of the second cavity 14 has a mating part 142 that engages with the locking part 312. When the power supply module 30 is disposed in the second cavity 14, the positioning post 122 is located in the positioning hole 311, and the locking part 312 and the mating part 142 are engaged and connected.

[0092] For example, the positioning hole 311 and the engaging portion 312 can both be provided on the battery 31. The battery adapter plate 32 and the positioning post 122 can both be provided on the bottom of the second housing 12. Here, the bottom of the second housing 12 refers to the portion of the second housing 12 opposite to the operating port 141.

[0093] See Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the battery adapter plate 32 is provided with a blade connector 321, and the corresponding battery is provided with a blade terminal 313. The first housing 11 is provided with a through hole 112 for avoiding the positioning post 122, and a clearance groove 113 for avoiding the blade connector 321.

[0094] like Figure 6 As shown, when the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 are assembled together, the positioning post 122 passes through the through hole 112 and extends into the second cavity 14. The blade connector 321 is exposed in the second cavity 14 through the clearance groove 113. When the battery 31 is assembled into the second cavity 14, the positioning hole 311 of the battery 31 engages with the positioning post 122, and the blade terminal 313 of the battery 31 engages with the blade connector 321.

[0095] See also Figure 6 As shown, the cavity wall of the second cavity 14 is provided with guide ribs 143, which are arranged along the depth direction of the second cavity 14. In the direction from the operation port 141 of the second cavity 14 to the bottom of the cavity, the guide ribs 143 gradually tilt towards the inside of the second cavity 14. So when the battery 31 is assembled into the second cavity 14, it can first enter the second cavity 14 gradually along the guide ribs 143, and then be assembled into a suitable position by the guiding action of the positioning hole 311 and the positioning post 122, so that the blade terminal 313 of the battery 31 can be inserted and engaged with the blade connector 321.

[0096] For example, the positioning post 122 can be conical in shape, with the smaller end of the positioning post 122 facing away from the second housing 12. This shape of the positioning post 122 can play a certain guiding role and reduce the assembly difficulty.

[0097] For example, the engaging portion 312 can be a resilient snap-fit ​​structure, and the engaging portion 312 and the mating portion 142 are detachably engaged. In the embodiments of this application, the specific structure of the engaging portion 312 and the mating portion 142 is not further limited.

[0098] It should be noted that the number of engaging parts 312 and mating parts 142 are the same and their positions are corresponding. For example, there may be one, two, three or more engaging parts 312 and mating parts 142. In this embodiment, the number and position of engaging parts 312 and mating parts 142 are not further limited.

[0099] By setting the positioning post 122 and positioning hole 311, the power supply module 30 can be automatically aligned during installation, achieving precise positioning. This reduces adjustment steps during installation, improving installation efficiency and accuracy. The engaging connection between the engaging part 312 and the mating part 142 provides additional mechanical fixing force, ensuring the stability of the power supply module 30 within the second cavity 14 and preventing it from loosening or shifting due to vibration or external force during use. This design makes the installation and removal of the power supply module 30 simpler and faster, requiring no additional tools or complex steps, thus improving production and maintenance efficiency.

[0100] In the embodiments of this application, see Figure 8 As shown, the first sealing ring 16 is disposed around the operating port 141. The first sealing ring 16 is fixedly connected to the housing assembly 10. When the flip cover structure 15 is closed, it forms a sealed connection with the operating port 141 through the first sealing ring 16.

[0101] For example, the first sealing ring 16 is disposed between the flip cover structure 15 and the first housing 11. The first housing 11 has a first mounting groove 115 on the side wall around the operation port 141, and the first sealing ring 16 is disposed in the first mounting groove 115.

[0102] like Figure 9 As shown, the shape of the first sealing ring 16 is the same as the shape of the operating port 141. Furthermore, multiple positioning portions 161 are provided circumferentially on the sealing ring, and correspondingly, an assembly portion 114 that mates with the positioning portions 161 is provided on the first housing 11. When the first sealing ring 16 is installed on the first housing 11, the main body of the first sealing ring 16 is located within the first assembly groove 115, and the positioning portions 161 are located within the assembly portion 114. This arrangement reduces assembly difficulty.

[0103] like Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the first sealing ring 16 has a second rib 162 formed on at least one of its two sides in the width direction. The second rib 162 is configured to have an interference fit with the first mounting groove 115 when the first sealing ring 16 is inserted into the first mounting groove 115.

[0104] In some embodiments, the number of second ribs 162 can be one or two. When there are two second ribs 162, the two second ribs 162 can be located on both sides of the first sealing ring 16 in the width direction. In the embodiments of this application, the number and location of the second ribs 162 are not further limited.

[0105] In some embodiments, the second rib 162 can be configured as a semi-cylindrical structure, which can reduce stress concentration of the second rib 162 and improve the strength of the first sealing ring 16.

[0106] It should be noted that the width direction of the first sealing ring 16 is consistent with the width direction of the first assembly groove 115.

[0107] By providing a first sealing ring 16 around the operating port 141, the sealing between the flip cover structure 15 and the operating port 141 is improved, effectively preventing dust, moisture, air, and other external contaminants from entering the interior of the second cavity 14, thus protecting the safety performance of the components inside the second cavity 14. The sealing ring typically has good elasticity and wear resistance, maintaining a good sealing effect during repeated opening and closing, extending the service life of the battery-powered camera 100.

[0108] By providing a first mounting groove 115 and a second rib 162 on the first sealing ring 16, the interference fit between the second rib 162 and the first mounting groove 115 provides mechanical fixing force, allowing the first sealing ring 16 to fit more tightly within the first mounting groove 115. This ensures the stability of the sealing ring within the first mounting groove 115 and prevents displacement or detachment of the first sealing ring 16 relative to the first mounting groove 115 during the opening of the flip-top structure 15, thereby maintaining continuous and effective sealing performance. This design provides clear positioning during installation, making the installation of the sealing ring simpler and faster, and reducing the possibility of installation errors.

[0109] In one possible implementation, the first sealing ring 16 may include a first groove 163 and a second groove 164 located on both sides of the thickness direction (z direction) of the first sealing ring 16, with the first groove 163 facing the bottom of the first mounting groove 115. The flip-top structure 15 is provided with a first rib 151 that matches the shape of the second groove 164, and the first rib 151 is configured to have an interference fit with the second groove 164 when the flip-top structure 15 is closed.

[0110] For example, the cross-sectional shape of the first protruding rib 151 can be trapezoidal, so that the first protruding rib 151 can fit tightly with the second groove 164, thereby improving the sealing performance.

[0111] By configuring the first sealing ring 16 with a first groove 163 and a second groove 164, and providing a first rib 151 on the flip structure 15 that matches the shape of the second groove 164, the first rib 151 can be embedded in the second groove 164 when the flip structure 15 is closed at the operating port 141, thereby improving the sealing performance. Furthermore, in the pressed assembly state, the first rib 151 faces the back of the first groove 163 pressed against the first sealing ring 16. The advantage of this design is that the interference between the first rib 151 and the second sealing ring 16 can reach more than 50%. Since the first groove 163 helps absorb the deformation and rebound force of the first sealing ring 16, it avoids the problem of uneven compression surface of the first sealing ring 16 after the flip structure 15 is closed, effectively improving the airtightness.

[0112] See also Figure 10 As shown, the flip cover structure 15 can be connected to the housing assembly 10 via the pivot connection structure 18. The housing assembly 10 is also provided with a locking assembly 19, which is located on the side opposite to the pivot connection structure 18 at the operating port 141. The locking assembly 19 is used to lock the locking assembly 19 to the housing assembly 10 after the flip cover structure 15 is closed, so as to maintain the sealed connection between the flip cover structure 15 and the operating port 141 of the second cavity 14.

[0113] For example, one side of the flip structure 15 is pivotally connected to the first housing 11 via a pivot connection structure 18. The pivot connection structure 18 can support rotation between the flip structure 15 and the first housing 11. The flip structure 15 is provided with a locking assembly 19 on the opposite side of the pivot connection structure 18, which can be fastened and fixed to the flip structure 15.

[0114] For example, the locking assembly 19 may include a first connecting rod 191, a second connecting rod 192, a first rotating shaft 193, and a second rotating shaft 194. One end of the first connecting rod 191 is rotatably connected to the first housing 11 via the first rotating shaft 193, and the other end of the first connecting rod 191 is rotatably connected to the second connecting rod 192 via the second rotating shaft 194. The second connecting rod 192 is provided with a locking part 1921, and the flip cover structure 15 is provided with a fastening groove 152 corresponding to the locking part 1921. When the flip cover structure 15 is closed to the operating port 141, the locking part 1921 is fastened to the fastening groove 152, so that the flip cover structure 15 and the locking assembly 19 are fixedly connected.

[0115] It should be noted that in some other embodiments, the locking component 19 may be configured with other structures. In this embodiment, the specific structure of the locking component 19 is not further limited.

[0116] By incorporating the locking assembly 19, the flip cover structure 15 is securely locked to the housing assembly 10 in the closed state, thereby maintaining the sealed connection of the operating port 141 and preventing dust, moisture, air, and other contaminants from entering the device. The pivot connection structure 18 provides the rotation axis for the flip cover, allowing it to open and close smoothly, while the locking assembly 19 provides additional fixing force, ensuring the stability and security of the flip cover when closed. This design allows users to easily open and close the flip cover structure 15, providing a good user experience. The locking assembly 19 is designed so that the flip cover automatically locks after closing, simplifying the operation process. The locking assembly 19 effectively prevents the flip cover from accidentally opening under external vibration or impact, protecting the safety and integrity of the internal components.

[0117] In one possible implementation, see [link to previous section] Figure 7 As shown, the human-computer interaction module 40 may include an interface circuit board 41, a decorative cover 42, and a silicone plug 43.

[0118] like Figure 12 As shown, the interface circuit board 41 is provided with a docking seat 412 and an interaction component 411 at both ends of the second cavity 14 in the depth direction (z direction).

[0119] For example, the interactive component 411 may include a reset button, an indicator light, a plug interface (charging interface, data transmission interface, etc.), etc. In this embodiment of the application, the specific number and structure of the interactive component 411 are not further limited.

[0120] During assembly, the silicone plug 43 can be placed around the outer side of the interface circuit board 41 portion of the structure, with the silicone plug 43 located between the two ends of the second cavity 14 in the depth direction. This allows both the mating seat 412 and the interaction component 411 to be located outside the silicone plug 43.

[0121] like Figure 13 As shown, the second cavity 14 is provided with a second assembly groove 144, which connects the first cavity 13 and the second cavity 14 (see...). Figure 16 As shown in the figure), and a plug-in seat (not shown in the figure) is provided in the second assembly groove 144. For example, the plug-in seat may be provided on the inner side of one end of the second assembly groove 144 located in the first cavity 13.

[0122] The interface circuit board 41 is inserted into the second assembly slot 144. The mating seat 412 of the interface circuit board 41 is located in the second assembly slot 144 and connected to the mating seat. The interaction component 411 is located in the second cavity 14. A silicone plug 43 is provided between the interface circuit board 41 and the second assembly slot 144, and the silicone plug 43 is sealed to both the interface circuit board 41 and the slot wall of the second assembly slot 144. The decorative cover 42 is sleeved on the outside of the interface circuit board 41 and the second assembly slot 144 from the end of the interface circuit board 41 where the interaction component 411 is located, and is engaged with the cavity wall of the second cavity 14 (see...). Figure 6 (As shown).

[0123] It should be noted that the connector can be used to connect to the camera function module 20. When the docking socket 412 is connected to the connector, the camera function module 20 and the interface circuit board 41 can be connected, thereby enabling power supply and other control of the camera function module 20, so that the camera function module 20 can perform its camera function.

[0124] For example, the decorative cover 42 is provided with a plurality of fastening portions 421 (see Figure 7 As shown), correspondingly, a snap-fit ​​groove 145 corresponding to the snap-fit ​​part 421 can be provided on the cavity wall of the second cavity 14. When the human-machine interaction module 40 is assembled into the second assembly groove 144, a snap-fit ​​connection is formed between the snap-fit ​​part 421 and the snap-fit ​​groove 145 on the decorative cover 42.

[0125] It should be noted that other positioning structures can also be provided on the decorative cover 42, such as vertical ribs (not shown in the figure). Correspondingly, positioning openings that cooperate with the vertical ribs are provided on the cavity wall of the second cavity 14 for alignment and installation. In this embodiment, the number and location of the fastening part 421 and the vertical ribs are not further limited, as long as the alignment and installation of the decorative cover 42 can be achieved.

[0126] It should be noted that the shape of the second assembly groove 144 can be a rectangular structure. Of course, the second assembly groove 144 can also be set to a rectangular structure according to the actual situation. In this embodiment, the specific shape of the second assembly groove 144 is not further limited.

[0127] By connecting the first cavity 13 and the second cavity 14 through the second assembly slot 144, the interface circuit board 41 can be electrically connected to the camera function module 20 in the first cavity 13 via a connector. By placing a silicone plug 43 between the interface circuit board 41 and the second assembly slot 144, and sealing the silicone plug 43 to both the interface circuit board 41 and the second assembly slot 144, an airtight isolation can be achieved between the first cavity 13 and the second cavity 14. This prevents dust, moisture, air, and other contaminants from entering the first cavity 13 through the second assembly slot, ensuring the normal operation of the camera function module 20 in the first cavity 13.

[0128] In addition, due to the good elasticity and shock absorption properties of silicone material, it can provide buffer protection for the interface circuit board 41, reducing the impact of external shocks and vibrations on the interface circuit board 41 and extending its service life. Since the interface circuit board 41 includes a plate-like structure and various electronic components, and its structure is relatively complex, it is fixedly connected to the second assembly slot 144 by the silicone plug 43. Compared with directly connecting the interface circuit board 41 to the second assembly slot 144, this reduces the difficulty of installation and disassembly, facilitates maintenance and replacement, and reduces maintenance difficulty.

[0129] By fitting the decorative cover 42 onto the outside of the interface circuit board 41, the electronic components on the interface circuit board 41 can be protected. By engaging the decorative cover 42 with the cavity wall of the second cavity 14, the stability of the decorative cover 42 can be improved, preventing it from loosening or falling off during use.

[0130] Combination Figure 12 and Figure 14As shown, the second assembly groove 144 may include an extension wall 1441 extending along the depth direction (z-direction) of the second cavity 14. A first limiting portion 1442 is provided at one end of the extension wall 1441 near the operation port 141. Two first limiting portions 1442 are arranged opposite each other along a first direction (x-direction). The interface circuit board 41 is provided with a second limiting portion 413 that cooperates with the first limiting portion 1442. When the silicone plug 43 is inserted into the second assembly groove 144, the first limiting portion 1442 and the second limiting portion 413 are connected in a limiting connection in the first direction (x-direction) and the thickness direction of the interface circuit board 41 (see [reference]). Figure 15 As shown), the first direction is perpendicular to the thickness direction (y direction) of the interface circuit board 41.

[0131] For example, the first limiting part 1442 and the second limiting part 413 can both be U-shaped groove structures, wherein the sidewalls of the first limiting part 1442 are disposed opposite each other along the second direction, and the sidewalls of the second limiting part 413 are disposed opposite each other along the first direction. In this way, the first limiting part 1442 and the second limiting part 413 can be inserted and connected to limit the connection in the first direction (x direction) and the thickness direction (y direction) of the interface circuit board 41, and the height of the interface circuit board 41 in the z direction can also be positioned.

[0132] The cooperation of the first limiting part 1442 and the second limiting part 413 provides additional mechanical fixing force for the interface circuit board 41 and the second mounting groove 144, ensuring the stability of the interface circuit board 41 within the second mounting groove 144 and preventing the interface circuit board 41 from moving or loosening during use. The first limiting part 1442 and the second limiting part 413 provide dual limiting in the first direction and the thickness direction of the interface circuit board 41, preventing the interface circuit board 41 from being misaligned or displaced due to vibration or external force, and ensuring that the interface circuit board 41 always remains in the correct position.

[0133] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 15 As shown, the silicone plug 43 has a third protruding rib 432 on its outer side, which is configured to have an interference fit with the second mounting groove 144 when the silicone plug 43 is inserted into the second mounting groove 144. In addition, the silicone plug 43 has a notch 431 in its middle, which extends along the first direction (x direction) and is used to connect with the interface circuit board 41.

[0134] For example, the width of the notch 431 can be slightly less than or equal to the thickness of the interface circuit board 41. In addition, the end of the silicone plug 43 facing the second housing 12 can be configured as an inclined wall 433 so that the bottom dimension of the silicone plug 43 is smaller than the top dimension, which facilitates assembly.

[0135] like Figure 16As shown, the outer periphery of the end of the silicone plug 43 facing away from the operating port 141 is sealed to the wall of the second assembly groove 144 by a sealant. It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the type of sealant is not further described.

[0136] By providing a third rib 432 on the outer side of the silicone plug 43 and achieving a mechanical fixation connection between the third rib 432 and the second mounting groove 144 through an interference fit, a sealed connection can be achieved. This ensures the stability and sealing of the interface circuit board 41 within the second mounting groove 144, preventing the interface circuit board 41 from loosening or shifting due to vibration or external force during use. Furthermore, achieving an interference fit through the third rib 432, compared to making the entire silicone plug 43 slightly larger, saves materials, reduces costs, and provides a barrier for dispensing, facilitating control of the sealant amount and preventing sealant leakage.
