[0022] This utility model embodiment provides an action camera adapter 100, referring to... Figures 1 to 4 The action camera adapter 100 includes: The base 110 has an internal cavity and an outer surface including a mounting surface 111 for detachably mounting the action camera 10. The adapter circuit board 120 is disposed in the accommodating cavity, and the adapter circuit board 120 is provided with an input interface 121 and an output interface 122; The input interface 121 is used to communicate with the action camera 10 to receive video data captured by the action camera 10; the adapter circuit board 120 is used to process the video data to generate a video signal; and the output interface 122 is used to communicate with an external electronic device 20 to output a video signal to the electronic device 20.

[0023] The action camera adapter 100 involved in this embodiment is essentially a functional bridge connecting the action camera 10 and the external electronic device 20 through the collaborative structure of the base 110 and the adapter circuit board 120. The base 110, serving as the load-bearing foundation, is integrally molded from high-strength, wear-resistant engineering plastic (such as ABS or PC). It has an internal cavity for accommodating the adapter circuit board 120, the size of which precisely matches the shape of the circuit board 120. Optionally, the inner wall of the cavity is provided with a positioning boss and a fixing buckle. After the adapter circuit board 120 is positioned by the positioning boss, it is securely fixed by the fixing buckle to prevent the circuit board from shaking.

[0024] like Figure 2 As shown, the outer surface of the base 110 has a dedicated mounting surface 111. This mounting surface 111 adopts a detachable connection structure (such as threaded connection, snap-fit ​​connection, magnetic connection, etc.) to adapt to different models of action cameras 10, enabling quick assembly and disassembly of the action cameras 10. For example, the mounting surface 111 of the base 110 is located on the top of the base 110. The mounting surface 111 has four evenly distributed threaded holes that correspond to the threaded holes on the bottom of the action camera 10, allowing for detachable fixing with screws. At the same time, the edge of the mounting surface 111 has a positioning pin that engages with the positioning hole on the bottom of the action camera 10.

[0025] like Figure 4As shown, the adapter circuit board 120 is fixedly installed in the accommodating cavity of the base 110 to avoid interference from the external environment. The circuit board integrates an input interface 121 and an output interface 122. The input interface 121 is matched with the signal output terminal of the action camera 10 (such as USB Type-C interface, HDMI Mini interface, etc.), which can establish a stable communication connection with the action camera 10 to receive the raw video data generated by the action camera 10. The adapter circuit board 120 has video data processing function, which can perform format conversion, signal optimization and other processing on the received raw video data (such as RAW format, specific encoding format data) to generate a video signal that conforms to the receiving standard of the external electronic device 20. The output interface 122 is adapted to the signal input terminal of the external electronic device 20 (such as USB Type-A interface, HDMI standard interface, wireless transmission module interface, etc.), which can communicate with external electronic devices 20 such as mobile phones, computers, and live broadcast terminals to achieve stable output of video signals. Specifically, the adapter circuit board 120 integrates components such as a main control chip, a signal processing module, and interface circuits. The main control chip is an MCU with high-efficiency data processing capabilities. The signal processing module can perform functions such as video encoding format conversion and resolution adaptation to ensure that the processed video signal can be stably recognized by the external electronic device 20. The side wall of the accommodating cavity has openings corresponding to the input interface 121 and the output interface 122. One end of the input interface 121 extends from the opening to the outside of the base 110 for easy docking with the interface of the action camera 10. One end of the output interface 122 also extends from the opening for easy connection of the data cable of the external electronic device 20. A waterproof rubber ring can be set at the opening to improve the dustproof and waterproof performance of the base 110, making it suitable for outdoor use.

[0026] The working principle of this action camera adapter 100 can be summarized as follows: like Figure 5 As shown, the user mounts the action camera 10 onto the base 110 via a detachable structure (such as screw fixing or snap-fit) on the mounting surface 111 of the base 110. At the same time, the user connects the signal output terminal of the action camera 10 to the input interface 121 of the adapter circuit board 120 extending from the base 110, thus completing the assembly of the action camera 10 and the adapter. Subsequently, the user connects the output interface 122 of the adapter circuit board 120 to the signal input terminal of an external electronic device 20 (such as a mobile phone or computer) via a data cable to establish a complete signal transmission link.

[0027] When the action camera 10 starts shooting, the raw video data it generates (such as real-time shooting dynamic video data) is transmitted to the adapter circuit board 120 through the input interface 121. The signal processing module on the adapter circuit board 120 processes the raw video data under the control of the main control chip. First, it identifies the format and parameters of the raw data, and then performs format conversion, resolution adjustment, signal noise reduction, and other processing according to the video signal standard supported by the external electronic device 20, finally generating a stable video signal.

[0028] The adapter circuit board 120 transmits the processed video signal to the external electronic device 20 through the output interface 122. After receiving the video signal, the external electronic device 20 (such as a mobile phone or computer with live streaming software installed) can push the video signal to a live streaming platform (such as Douyin, Kuaishou, Bilibili, etc.) through the live streaming software to achieve real-time live streaming. In addition, the external electronic device 20 can also perform subsequent operations such as storage and editing on the received video signal to expand the application scenarios of video data.

[0029] The action camera adapter 100 in this embodiment is specifically designed for action camera 10, enabling shooting conversion of action camera 10. This design breaks through the limitation that action camera 10 is only used for outdoor sports shooting and recording, allowing action camera 10 to be used as a video acquisition terminal, and to complete live streaming with the live streaming software of external electronic device 20, thereby extending its application scenarios to diverse scenarios such as indoor event live streaming, effectively improving the functional utilization rate of action camera 10.

[0030] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The action camera 10 is equipped with a data connector 11; Input interface 121 is exposed on mounting surface 111 for connection with data connector 11.

[0031] In this embodiment, the action camera 10 has a pre-installed data connector 11, which integrates data transmission and signal interaction functions. It is typically located on the mounting surface of the action camera 10 (e.g., the bottom, the area that mates with the mounting surface 111 of the base 110), and its interface type matches the input interface 121 of the adapter. The mating end of the input interface 121 is directly exposed on the mounting surface 111, and its position precisely corresponds to the position of the data connector 11 of the action camera 10.

[0032] During assembly, the user simply needs to position the action camera 10 with the side containing the data connector 11 facing the mounting surface 111 of the base 110. The positioning structure of the mounting surface 111 will initially position the action camera 10, ensuring that the data connector 11 is aligned with the central axis of the input interface 121. As the action camera 10 is brought into contact with the mounting surface 111, the data connector 11 will naturally insert into the exposed input interface 121, completing the mechanical connection and signal link establishment without the need for manual plugging and unplugging of the data cable. After docking, the connection between the input interface 121 and the data connector 11 is enclosed by the action camera 10 body and the mounting surface 111 of the base 110, forming a protective space to reduce the impact of external collisions on the interface.

[0033] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 2 The input interface 121 includes multiple communication contacts 1211. In this embodiment, the mating end of the input interface 121 integrates multiple independent communication contacts 1211. The communication contacts 1211 can be made of a highly conductive, oxidation-resistant gold-plated material (such as a gold-nickel alloy plating) to ensure low contact resistance and long-term stability. All contacts are fixed on an insulating base, which is mounted on the adapter circuit board 120. The top of the contact protrudes from the mounting surface 111 of the mounting base to ensure full contact with the contacts of the data connector 11 of the action camera 10. Optionally, the communication contacts 1211 are Pogopin contacts. The function of the communication contacts 1211 can be configured by software through the chip of the adapter circuit board 120, such as adjusting the power supply voltage and adapting to different data protocols. Positioning rings or foolproof protrusions can be provided around the multiple communication contacts 1211 to guide the mating direction and prevent damage to components from reverse insertion or removal.

[0034] In some embodiments, refer to Figures 2 to 4 The action camera 10 is equipped with a card slot 12; The base 110 is provided with a retaining component 112, which is used to form a retaining engagement with the card slot 12.

[0035] In this embodiment, the action camera 10's slot 12 and the mounting assembly 112 on the base 110 are designed to engage and engage, enabling rapid assembly and stable fixation of both. The slot 12 can be located on the mounting surface (usually the bottom) of the action camera 10, and its cross-sectional shape can be L-shaped, including an inlet section and a locking section. The inlet section can be constructed with an inclined guide surface to facilitate the quick entry of the mounting assembly 112; the locking section can be a groove perpendicular to the inlet direction. When the action camera 10 is placed on the mounting surface 111 of the base 110, the mounting assembly 112 extends into the slot 12 to form a locking engagement with the slot 12, thereby fixing the action camera 10.

[0036] The card-holding component 112 can take various structural forms, such as: In some embodiments, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 The card holder component 112 includes: The hook 1121 is rotatably connected to the base 110 and has a hook portion that is adapted to the slot 12; The unlocking press 1122 is movably mounted on the base 110. One end of the unlocking press 1122 is rotatably connected to the hook 1121, and the other end is exposed on the outer surface of the base 110. The unlocking press 1122 has a locking position and an unlocking position within its range of motion. When the unlocking press 1122 is pressed, it moves toward the unlocking position. The elastic reset member 1123 is disposed on the base 110 and acts on the unlocking press member 1122. The elastic reset member 1123 is used to apply an elastic force to the unlocking press member 1122 to reset it toward the locking position.

[0037] In this embodiment, the locking assembly 112 achieves rapid engagement, stable locking, and convenient unlocking of the action camera 10 and the base 110 through the linkage structure of the hook 1121, the unlocking press 1122, and the elastic reset 1123. The hook 1121 can be integrally molded from a high-strength alloy material (such as zinc alloy) or reinforced nylon material, and is L-shaped in general. One end is a hook part adapted to the slot 12 of the action camera 10 (the hook head is arc-shaped, and the curvature matches the inner wall of the slot 12 to ensure no loose gap after engagement), and the other end is an extension arm; the middle part of the hook 1121 is rotatably connected to the base 110 through a pin to form a lever structure.

[0038] The unlocking press 1122 includes a pressing part and a linkage part; the pressing part is flat and exposed on the side or top surface of the seat 110; the linkage part is a rod-shaped structure, one end of which is rotatably connected to the extension arm of the hook 1121 via a pivot, and the other end is slidably engaged with the guide groove of the seat 110 (the guide groove is set along the pressing direction, restricting the unlocking press 1122 to only reciprocate in a straight line); the active stroke of the unlocking press 1122 is limited to a preset distance, and the two endpoints of its active range are the locked position (initial position in the natural state) and the unlocked position (limit position after being pressed).

[0039] The elastic reset element 1123 is a compression spring, sleeved around the linkage part of the unlocking press element 1122. One end abuts against the limiting step of the seat 110, and the other end abuts against the step surface of the unlocking press element 1122. In its natural state, the spring is in a pre-compressed state, applying a continuous elastic force to the unlocking press element 1122 to keep it in the locked position. When the unlocking press element 1122 is pressed, the spring is further compressed, and the elastic force increases with the increase of the stroke, ensuring that it can quickly reset after being released.

[0040] Engaging process: The user places the action camera 10 on the mounting surface 111 of the base 110, aligning the camera's slot 12 with the hook portion of the hook 1121; the user pushes the action camera 10 to move in the engaging direction, the edge of the slot 12 presses against the guide slope of the hook portion, forcing the hook 1121 to rotate around the pin and causing the unlocking press 1122 to compress the elastic reset member 1123; when the action camera 10 moves to the preset position, the slot 12 and the hook portion are fully aligned, the elastic reset member 1123 releases its elasticity, pushing the unlocking press 1122 to reset to the locked position, the hook 1121 rotates synchronously, and the hook portion is embedded in the slot 12, completing the locking.

[0041] Unlocking process: The user applies pressure to the pressing part of the unlocking press 1122 to overcome the elastic force of the elastic reset member 1123, causing the unlocking press 1122 to move to the unlock position; the linkage part drives the extension arm of the hook 1121 to rotate, and the hook part disengages from the slot 12 as the hook 1121 rotates; while maintaining the pressing pressure, the action camera 10 is pulled in the opposite direction to remove the camera from the base 110; after releasing the pressing pressure, the elastic reset member 1123 drives the unlocking press 1122 and the hook 1121 to automatically reset to the locked position, waiting for the next engagement.

[0042] Compared to traditional threaded connections or complex snap-fit ​​structures, the locking component 112 in this embodiment can complete the installation and removal of the action camera 10 in two steps: pushing to engage and pressing to unlock. No tools are required, and it can be operated with one hand, making it convenient to use. Furthermore, the hook 1121, the unlocking press 1122, and the elastic reset component 1123 are linked through rotational connection and sliding cooperation. Each component can be integrated into the limited space inside the base 110 without significantly increasing the size of the base 110, which is in line with the compact and portable product positioning of the action camera 10 and ensures the overall portability of the adapter and camera combination.

[0043] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The number of card slots 12 is set to two; The number of the holding components 112 is set to two, and the unlocking presses 1122 of the two holding components 112 are respectively exposed on the two opposite outer surfaces of the base 110.

[0044] In this embodiment, two slots 12 are symmetrically formed on the mounting adapter surface (usually the bottom) of the action camera 10. The two slots 12 have identical structures and dimensions and are symmetrically distributed about the central axis of the action camera 10. Two holding components 112 are provided on the base 110 corresponding to the two slots 12. The two holding components 112 have identical structures and parameters. That is, each holding component 112 includes a hook 1121, an unlocking press 1122, and an elastic reset component 1123. The curvature of the hook 1121, the stroke of the unlocking press 1122, and the preload of the elastic reset component 1123 are all kept uniform to ensure that the locking force and unlocking resistance of the two components are consistent, achieving synchronous action. The unlocking presses 1122 of the two holding components 112 are exposed on opposite outer surfaces of the base 110 (such as the left and right sides of the base 110). The exposed portion (pressing part) of each unlocking press 1122 is the same size and the height from the top of the base 110 is consistent, ensuring that the force applied by the user is balanced when operating with one hand.

[0045] Compared to single-point locking (only one slot 12 and one locking component 112), the symmetrical cooperation of the dual slots 12 and dual locking components 112 forms a two-point positioning, which can restrict all degrees of freedom (translation, rotation, and tilting) of the action camera 10. Even if the camera is subjected to lateral impact or torsional force, the two locking components 112 can each bear part of the force, avoiding loosening or separation caused by excessive force on a single point; at the same time, the dual-point fixation makes the contact surface between the camera and the base 110 more evenly stressed, reducing local stress concentration and preventing local wear of the slots 12 or locking components 112 after long-term use, further improving connection reliability. The unlocking presses 1122 of the dual locking components 112 are located on opposite outer surfaces of the base 110. Users can operate with one hand according to the actual operating scenario, pressing the presses on both sides with the thumb and index finger (or middle finger) respectively, and unlocking can be completed without adjusting the hand posture.

[0046] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 The adapter circuit board 120 also includes a power switch 123, which is exposed on the outer surface of the housing 110 and used to turn the action camera adapter 100 on or off. The power switch 123 can be a waterproof tactile button. The button body is made of high-temperature resistant and wear-resistant silicone or ABS plastic. The button pins are electrically connected to the power supply control module of the adapter circuit board 120 via wires or surface mount soldering, ensuring that the switch action accurately triggers the circuit board to turn on or off or switch modes. In addition to the power switch 123, the adapter circuit board 120 can also be equipped with other function buttons to realize the functions of the adapter.

[0047] Power-on process: The user presses the power switch 123 on the surface of the base 110. When the button is closed, it sends a start signal to the power supply control module of the adapter circuit board 120. After receiving the signal, the power supply module connects to an external power source (such as power from an external electronic device 20 via the output interface 122, or power from the built-in battery) to supply power to the components of the adapter circuit board 120. After the main control chip is powered on, it completes a self-test and initializes the signal processing module, input interface 121, and output interface 122. After initialization, the data from the action camera 10 can be transmitted to the circuit board through the input interface 121, processed, and then output through the output interface 122.

[0048] Shutdown procedure: The user presses the power button 123 again, which sends a shutdown signal to the power supply control module. After receiving the signal, the main control chip first shuts down the data transmission function of the input interface 121 and the output interface 122 to ensure that the data transmission is completed before it is interrupted (such as to avoid data loss). Then the main control chip controls the power supply module to cut off the power supply, thereby achieving power-off shutdown.

[0049] An LED indicator can be installed on the surface of the base 110 next to the power switch 123. The indicator is connected to the signal output terminal of the adapter circuit board 120 through a wire to synchronously provide feedback on the working status of the adapter. The LED is constantly lit when the power is on (e.g., green), turns off when the power is off, and flashes (e.g., intermittent green light) during low-power standby, allowing users to intuitively judge the current status of the adapter.

[0050] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 4 The adapter circuit board 120 is also connected to a power interface 124, which can be used to electrically connect to the electronic device 20. A USB Type-C interface can be selected as the power interface 124. The interface body is made of a high-temperature resistant and corrosion-resistant alloy material, and the contact terminals are gold-plated to reduce contact resistance and improve insertion and removal life. The mating end of the power interface 124 is exposed on the side of the socket 110. The surface of the socket 110 next to the interface is marked with a power symbol (such as a lightning bolt symbol) and compatible protocol markings for easy user identification and to avoid confusion with the data interface. When the power interface 124 is connected to an external electronic device 20 (such as a computer) via a data cable, the power management module detects the power supply signal from the external device and automatically switches to power-drawing mode. It obtains standard voltage from the electronic device 20 through the interface to power the main control chip and signal processing module of the adapter circuit board 120, without requiring an external power supply.

[0051] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 3The outer surface of the base 110 is provided with a connection port 113 for detachably connecting external accessories. In this embodiment, to meet the functional expansion needs of the action camera adapter 100, a standardized connection port 113 is added to the outer surface of the base 110 to achieve detachable connection with external accessories, thus constructing a collaborative working system between the adapter and multiple accessories. The number of connection ports 113 can be one or more, and this embodiment does not limit this. The connection port 113 can adopt industry-standard interfaces, preferably 1 / 4-inch threaded holes (compatible with mainstream photography accessories) and quick-release snap-on interfaces (compatible with rapid scene switching). The two types of interfaces can be set individually or in combination.

[0052] The connectors 113 are distributed across different outer surfaces of the base 110 according to the usage scenarios of the accessories, ensuring no installation interference. For example, the bottom surface of the base 110 has a 1 / 4-inch threaded hole for connecting support accessories such as tripods and handheld gimbals; the top surface of the base 110 (next to the mounting surface 111 of the action camera 10) has a quick-release clip interface for connecting lightweight accessories such as fill lights and small microphones.

[0053] This utility model embodiment also proposes an action camera adapter, see reference... Figure 5 The action camera adapter includes a support accessory 200 and an action camera adapter base 100 as described in the foregoing embodiments, with the base body 110 detachably mounted on the support accessory 200. The specific structure of the action camera adapter base 100 is as described in the foregoing embodiments. Since this action camera adapter base 100 adopts all the technical solutions of all the foregoing embodiments, it possesses at least all the technical effects brought about by the technical solutions of the foregoing embodiments, and will not be elaborated further here. The support accessory 200 can be a support frame, such as a desktop tripod, suitable for live streaming and other scenarios. In addition, the support accessory 200 can also be other types, such as a handheld bracket, etc., including but not limited to these.

[0054] The above description is only a part or preferred embodiment of this utility model. Neither the text nor the drawings should limit the scope of protection of this utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made using the content of this utility model specification and drawings under the overall concept of this utility model, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
