Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive electronic equipment technology, specifically to a dashcam. Background Technology

[0002] Dashcams have become a common device in modern cars, used to record video and audio during driving. Existing dashcams typically have various interfaces on their side or top panel, such as power interface, GPS interface, rear camera interface, TF card slot, and other data transmission interfaces.

[0003] However, in existing technologies, most of these interfaces protrude directly from the device's outer casing, presenting significant drawbacks. First, they are easily damaged: during installation, disassembly, or daily adjustment, protruding interfaces are susceptible to external impacts, leading to loosening, deformation, or even damage. Second, they restrict installation on certain vehicle models: in some vehicle models, protruding interfaces can easily interfere with the roof or other interior fixtures (blocking the roof), preventing the recorder from being adjusted to the optimal shooting angle and severely impacting the user experience. Furthermore, protruding interfaces and messy connectors disrupt the overall aesthetics and streamlined design of the device, making it appear less clean and attractive.

[0004] While some products on the market attempt to reduce the size of the interface, the plug portion after connecting the cable still occupies a significant amount of space. Furthermore, even if the issue of protruding interfaces is resolved, the connecting cables often lack restraint when exiting, easily arching at the base of the interface, and the problem of them touching the car roof remains unresolved. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an improved solution that can simultaneously address interface protection, installation interference, and cable neatness. Utility Model Content

[0005] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a recessed interface structure for use in dashcams, which aims to solve the technical problems of existing dashcams with protruding interfaces that are easily damaged, interfere with the car roof, and have messy and unsightly wiring.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a dashcam, characterized in that it comprises:

[0007] The dashcam itself has an mounting surface that faces away from the user;

[0008] An interface slot is formed on the mounting surface, creating a recessed receiving space into the body of the dashcam.

[0009] And an interface module, which is disposed within the interface slot;

[0010] The interface module has a plug-in surface located below the plane of the mounting surface, such that when an external connector is inserted into the interface module, the external connector is accommodated within the accommodating space of the interface slot and does not protrude from the mounting surface.

[0011] Preferably, the surface of the dashcam body is further provided with at least one wire groove;

[0012] One end of the wire groove is connected to the interface groove, and the other end extends to the edge of the dashcam body to accommodate the cable connected to the interface module.

[0013] Preferably, the cable groove is provided with a limiting rib or buckle for fixing the cable.

[0014] Preferably, the interface slot has an inverted trapezoidal structure, with its long side located near the edge of the dashcam body and its short side located away from the edge.

[0015] Preferably, the interface module includes a circuit board and at least one of a Type-C power interface, a GPS interface, a rear camera interface, or a TF card slot disposed on the circuit board;

[0016] The interface module is fixed to a fixed post inside the interface slot by fasteners.

[0017] Preferably, the depth of the interface groove is greater than or equal to the plug height of the preset external connector, so that the connector after insertion is located entirely within the outline of the mounting surface. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.

[0026] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more; the terms "center," "longitudinal," "lateral," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "inner," "outer," "front end," "rear end," "head," "tail," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," "third," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0027] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0028] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0029] Example 1, see Figure 1 and Figure 2This embodiment provides a dashcam with a recessed interface. The dashcam includes a dashcam body (1). An interface slot (2) is provided on the back of the body (1) (i.e., the side facing the windshield or away from the driver when installed), located below the mounting surface (15).

[0030] In this embodiment, the interface slot (2) has an inverted trapezoidal structure. This design, which is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, makes it easy for users to insert their fingers into the slot for plugging and unplugging operations. The specific dimensions of the interface slot (2) can be adjusted according to the size of the device body, for example, a length of about 97mm, a width of about 9.0mm, and a depth of about 17.5mm. This depth setting is crucial and must be greater than the height of commonly used matching plugs (such as Type-C plugs and GPS module plugs) to ensure that the plug is completely submerged in the slot after insertion.

[0031] See Figures 3 to 5 The interface module (9) includes a circuit board and a Type-C power interface (3), a GPS interface (4), a rear camera interface (5), and a TF card slot (6) integrated on the circuit board. The interface module (9) is fixed to the screw fixing post (10) inside the housing of the recorder body (1) by screws, so that the interface panel (7) is located at the bottom of the interface slot (2).

[0032] When the user inserts the Type-C power plug (11), GPS plug (12), or rear camera plug (13) into the corresponding interface, such as Figure 2 As shown, all the plugs are located below the outer surface (8) (i.e., the outline) of the main body. This design creates a physical "avoidance zone" so that the plugs will not touch the roof no matter how close the recorder is installed to the roof.

[0033] Example 2 focuses on solving the problem of cable routing, based on Example 1.

[0034] Although the first embodiment solved the problem of the protruding plug, in order to further standardize the wiring and prevent the cable from arching due to natural rebound when it passes through the interface groove (2), this embodiment adds a wire groove (14) to the surface of the dashcam body (1).

[0035] The wire groove (14) is directly connected to the side wall or top wall of the interface groove (2) and extends along the surface of the body to the top edge or side edge of the body. The cross-sectional shape of the wire groove (14) is preferably "U" shaped, and its depth is slightly greater than the diameter of the matching cable (e.g., 3-5 mm).

[0036] When in use, the user inserts the plug into the interface slot (2) and then presses the connected cable into the wire channel (14). To prevent the cable from coming loose during vehicle vibration, limit ribs (flexible protrusions) are provided at intervals on the inner wall of the wire channel (14). The cable is "locked" in the channel by the ribs, thereby forcing the cable to run close to the surface of the body and finally smoothly leading out from the edge of the body.

[0037] By combining the "sunken interface groove" and the "wire groove", this utility model not only achieves the concealment of the interface hardware, but also achieves the concealed management of the wiring harness, completely eliminating the risk of installation interference, and greatly improving the cleanliness of the vehicle interior environment.

[0038] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the scope of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
