Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a foldable data acquisition device for on-site supervision. Background Technology

[0002] During on-site supervision, supervisors need to collect real-time image information of the construction area, record construction data, and promptly verify whether the construction progress meets design requirements. Currently, commonly used data acquisition devices are mostly integrated structures, such as tablets with camera functions or dedicated data acquisition units. These types of devices have the following problems:

[0003] Poor portability: The equipment is large in size and heavy in weight, making it inconvenient for supervisors to carry when moving the equipment on site, especially when climbing scaffolding or entering narrow construction spaces, which limits their operational flexibility.

[0004] High vulnerability: The camera module's lens and display screen are key components that are exposed to the elements. During on-site handling and placement, they are easily damaged by dust and impacts, reducing the equipment's lifespan.

[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention proposes a foldable data acquisition device. Through optimized structural design, it enhances portability, protection, and ease of operation while ensuring data acquisition functionality. Utility Model Content

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a foldable data acquisition device for on-site supervision that improves portability, protection and ease of operation while ensuring data acquisition function through optimized structural design.

[0007] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] A foldable data acquisition device for on-site supervision includes a display screen, a camera module, a motherboard, a battery, control buttons, a charging module, a microphone, a fill light, and a memory card. The motherboard is connected to the display screen, camera module, control buttons, microphone, fill light, and memory card. The battery is electrically connected to the motherboard and the charging module. The device also includes a base and flip-up panels. A slot is provided on the top of the base. Two flip-up panels are provided, each rotatably mounted within the slot via a pin and capable of rotating 0-180° relative to the slot. The camera module and fill light are mounted on one side of the flip-up panel, and the display screen is mounted on the other side. When both flip-up panels are folded inward into the slot, the display screen faces the camera module. When both flip-up panels are folded outward out of the slot, the display screen and camera module face away from each other, allowing the image captured by the camera module to be displayed on the display screen.

[0009] Preferably, there are two fill lights, located on both sides of the camera module.

[0010] Preferably, the charging module, microphone, and memory card are all installed on the side of the flip panel where the camera module is installed, so that when the flip panel is flipped inward into the slot, the charging module, microphone, and memory card are hidden.

[0011] Preferably, the control buttons are installed on the side of the flip panel on which the display screen is mounted, so that the control buttons are hidden when the flip panel is flipped inward into the slot.

[0012] Preferably, both the motherboard and the battery are fixedly installed inside the flip panel where the camera module is installed.

[0013] Preferably, both the display screen and the control buttons are connected to the motherboard via a flexible flat cable.

[0014] Preferably, a partition plate is provided at the bottom of the slot, and cushioning pads are provided on both the front and back of the partition plate. When the two flip plates are flipped inward into the slot, they contact the camera module and the display screen through the cushioning pads on both sides.

[0015] Preferably, a second slot communicating with the slot is provided at the bottom of the base. There are two second slots, one in front and one behind. Each of the two flip plates has a hand-grip groove on its end face. When the flip plate is flipped inward into the slot, the hand-grip groove corresponds to the second slot.

[0016] Preferably, spherical positioning holes are provided on both sides of the groove wall near the bottom, and spherical rubber blocks are fixed on the sides of the two flaps. When the flaps are flipped inward into the groove, the rubber blocks cooperate with the positioning holes to lock the flaps.

[0017] Preferably, a magnetic block is provided on the outer side of one of the flaps, and a metal sheet that can be magnetically attracted is provided on the outer side of the other flap. When the two flaps are flipped outward by 180°, the magnetic block attracts the metal sheet, so that the two flaps are magnetically attracted and fixed.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0019] One advantage is that the folding structure design reduces the overall size of the equipment when it is folded up, making it easy for supervisors to carry by hand or put into a tool bag, thus meeting the needs of mobile operations on site.

[0020] Secondly, key components (camera module, display screen, charging module, etc.) are hidden or buffered when stored, effectively reducing damage to the equipment from dust and collisions and extending its service life. Attached Figure Description

[0031] See Figures 1 to 4 The foldable data acquisition device for on-site supervision shown includes a display screen 1, a camera module 2, a motherboard (not shown), a battery (not shown), control buttons 3, a charging module 4, a microphone 5, a fill light 6, and a memory card 7. The motherboard is connected to the display screen 1, camera module 2, control buttons 3, microphone 5, fill light 6, and memory card 7 respectively. The battery is electrically connected to the motherboard and charging module 4. It also includes a base 8 and a flip plate 9, with a slot provided on the top of the base 8. The slot 81 is provided with two flip plates 9, both of which are rotatably mounted in the slot 81 via pins and can be rotated 0~180° relative to the slot 81. The camera module 2 and the supplementary light 6 are mounted on the surface of one side of the flip plate 9, and the display screen 1 is mounted on the surface of the other side of the flip plate 9. When the two flip plates 9 are flipped inward into the slot 81, the display screen 1 and the camera module 2 face each other, so that the display screen 1 and the camera module 2 are hidden, providing a protective effect. When the two flip plates 9 are flipped outward from the slot 81, the display screen 1 and the camera module 2 face away from each other, so that the image captured by the camera module 2 is displayed on the display screen 1.

[0032] Display screen: 5-7 inch high-definition touch screen with a resolution of no less than 1280×720, supports sunlight visibility, and is suitable for strong light environments.

[0033] Camera module: It adopts a high-definition camera with a resolution of 13 megapixels or higher, supports 1080P video recording, and uses a wide-angle lens to expand the field of view.

[0034] Battery: It uses a 10000mAh high-capacity lithium battery, supports fast charging, and can meet more than 8 hours of continuous operation on a single charge.

[0035] Fill light: LED fill light is selected, with adjustable brightness and power of no less than 5W, to ensure shooting effect in low light environment.

[0036] The base is made of ABS engineering plastic and is injection molded. The groove size matches the flip plate to ensure smooth flipping.

[0037] The flip panel is made of aluminum alloy, which reduces weight while ensuring structural strength. The internal cavity of the camera-side flip panel is laser-cut to accommodate the motherboard and battery. Sound insulation cotton is pasted on the outside of the cavity to reduce the noise of the equipment.

[0038] The pin is made of stainless steel with rust prevention treatment. Lubricating oil is applied to the connection parts with the flip plate and base to reduce wear during flipping.

[0039] In this embodiment, there are two fill lights 6, located on both sides of the camera module 2.

[0040] See Figure 1 As shown, the charging module 4, microphone 5 and memory card 7 are all installed on the side of the flip plate 9 on which the camera module 2 is installed, so that when the flip plate 9 is flipped inward into the slot 81, the charging module 4, microphone 5 and memory card 7 are hidden.

[0041] The above technical solution adopts a side-mounted installation method so that the charging module 4, microphone 5 and memory card 7 can be protected when the flap 9 is flipped inward.

[0042] See Figure 1 As shown, the control button 3 is installed on the side of the flip plate 9 on which the display screen 1 is installed, so that the control button 3 is hidden when the flip plate is flipped inward into the slot.

[0043] In the above technical solution, a groove is provided on the side of the flip cover 9, and the control button 3 is located in the groove so that the control button 3 will not be accidentally touched when the flip cover is flipped inward. When the device is in the storage state, the control button 3 is also protected to prevent the device from being opened abnormally.

[0044] Both the motherboard and the battery are fixedly installed inside the flip panel 9 on which the camera module 2 is installed.

[0045] The above describes an integrated layout, which allows for a more compact device size.

[0046] Both the display screen 1 and the control buttons 3 are connected to the motherboard via flexible flat cables.

[0047] The use of flexible flat cables facilitates the rotation and opening of the two side flaps 9.

[0048] See Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, a partition plate 811 is provided at the bottom of the slot 81. Both sides of the partition plate 811 are provided with cushioning pads 812. When the two flip plates 9 are flipped inward into the slot 81, they contact the camera module and the display screen through the cushioning pads 811 on both sides.

[0049] The cushioning pads are made of high-density sponge, 1mm thick, and are attached to both sides of the partition with double-sided adhesive to ensure a good fit with the camera module and display screen. This prevents sharp particles from getting stuck and damaging the camera module and display screen when folded.

[0050] See Figure 1 As shown, a second slot 822 communicating with the slot is provided at the bottom of the base 8. There are two second slots 822 in front and behind. Each of the two flip plates 9 has a hand-picking groove 911 at its end face. When the flip plate 9 flips inward into the slot 81, the hand-picking groove 911 corresponds to the second slot 812.

[0051] The above technical solution is mainly to facilitate flipping the flap 9 out of the slot 81.

[0052] See Figure 1 As shown, spherical positioning holes 813 are provided on both sides of the groove wall near the bottom of the groove 81, and spherical rubber blocks 912 are fixed on the sides of the two flaps 9. When the flaps are flipped inward into the groove, the rubber blocks cooperate with the positioning holes to lock the flaps.

[0053] The above technical solution serves to fix the flip plate 9 when it flips into the slot 81.

[0054] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a magnetic block 913 is provided on the outer side of one of the flaps 9, and a metal sheet (not shown) that can be magnetically attracted is provided on the outer side of the other flap 9. When the two flaps are flipped outward by 180°, the magnetic block attracts the metal sheet, so that the two flaps are magnetically attracted and fixed.

[0055] II. Work Process

[0056] Expand operation:

[0057] The supervisor inserts their finger into the second slot at the bottom of the base, holds the hand grip, and pulls the flap outward. The spherical rubber block disengages from the spherical groove, and the flap rotates outward 180° around the pin. At this time, the display screen and the camera module face opposite directions. The device is then powered on via the control button and enters the data acquisition mode.

[0058] Data collection:

[0059] If the lighting is sufficient, press the shutter button on the control panel. The camera module will capture the image, which will be displayed on the screen in real time. The supervisor can check the capture effect on the screen. After confirming that there are no errors, press the save button. The image and the sound information captured by the microphone will be stored together on the memory card.

[0060] If the ambient light is insufficient, turn on the supplementary light, adjust the brightness according to the lighting conditions, and then collect images.

[0061] Storage procedures:

[0062] After the data collection is complete, turn off the device and flip the two flaps inward into the slot until the spherical rubber block is elastically engaged in the spherical groove. The flaps are then locked. At this point, the display screen and camera module are protected by the cushioning pads, and the device is stored and can be placed in a tool bag for carrying.
