It should be noted that when an element is described as being "fixed" to another element, it may be directly fixed to the other element, or there may be one or more intermediate elements. When an element is described as being "connected" to another element, it may be directly connected to the other element, or there may be one or more intermediate elements. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only.

[0025] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by a person skilled in the art of the present application. Terms used in the description of the present application are used only to describe specific examples and are not intended to limit the present application. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0026] 1 to 3 , an embodiment of the present application provides a charging box 100 suitable for a photographing device 200, which may include, but is not limited to, an action camera, a drone, a camera, etc. The charging box 100 includes a box body 1 and a display screen 3. The box body 1 is substantially rectangular and has a receiving cavity 114, in which the photographing device 200 can be detachably received. That is, the photographing device 200 can be received in the receiving cavity 114 and can be removed from the receiving cavity 114. The box body 1 is electrically or signal-connected to the photographing device 200. Specifically, when the photographing device 200 is received in the receiving cavity 114, the box body 1 is electrically connected to the photographing device 200, thereby transmitting electrical energy and electrical signals. When the photographing device 200 is removed from the receiving cavity 114, the box body 1 is signal-connected to the photographing device 200, and a signal connection can be established using methods such as Bluetooth® and Wi-Fi for signal transmission. Naturally, the specific signal connection method between the box body 1 and the photographing device 200 is not limited to Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, and these are described here merely as examples and should not be understood as limiting the embodiments of the present application. Because the box body 1 and the photographing device 200 are electrically or signal-connected, the housing 11 can control the photographing device 200 through electrical signals to take pictures. When the photographing device 200 is received in the receiving cavity 114, the electrical connection between the box body 1 and the photographing device 200 can be used to charge the photographing device 200, and the box body 1 can be used to control the charging of the photographing device 200.

[0027] 1 , the display screen 3 is provided at one end of the box body 1 and is electrically connected to the box body 1 for displaying an image captured by the camera 200. Specifically, when the camera 200 is housed in the receiving cavity 114, the camera 200 and the box body 1 are electrically connected, and the camera 200 transmits image information captured by the camera 200 to the box body 1, which then transmits the image information to the display screen 3. This allows the image captured by the camera 200 to be displayed on the display screen 3 while the camera 200 is housed in the receiving cavity 114. When the camera 200 is removed from the receiving cavity 114, the camera 200 transmits the image information captured by the camera 200 to the box body 1 via a signal connection, and the box body 1 then transmits the image information to the display screen 3. This allows the image captured by the camera 200 to still be displayed on the display screen 3 when the camera 200 is separated from the box body 1 (removed from the receiving cavity 114). Compared with the charging box 100 in the prior art, the charging box 100 of the present application has the function of displaying a shooting screen, and regardless of whether the shooting device 200 is accommodated in the accommodating cavity 114 of the box body 1, the display screen 3 of the charging box 100 can display the screen captured by the shooting device 200, thereby providing a shooting preview and helping users take higher quality videos or photos.

[0028] For example, in outdoor sports scenes, the photographing device 200 is generally separated from the charging box 100, which allows the photographing device 200 to obtain a wider framing field of view. For example, by lifting the photographing device 200 with a carrier such as a selfie stick or a drone, the photographing device 200 and the charging box 100 are separated, and when viewing the image captured by the photographing device 200 on the display screen 3 of the charging box 100, the framing angle of the photographing device 200 can be adjusted in real time to obtain high-quality photos or videos.

[0029] When taking photos indoors or at a fixed location, if the position of the photographing device 200 does not need to be adjusted frequently, the photographing device 200 can be placed in the receiving cavity 114 of the charging box 100, and the screen 3 of the charging box 100 can be used to view and preview the images captured by the photographing device 200, thereby obtaining high-quality photos or videos. At the same time, the charging box 100 can also supply electrical energy to the photographing device 200, thereby extending the usage time of the photographing device 200.

[0030] Regardless of whether the photographing device 200 is housed in the box body 1, the display screen 3 can display the image captured by the photographing device 200. However, this does not mean that the display screen 3 is always used to display the image captured by the photographing device 200, and the display screen 3 can selectively display the image captured by the photographing device 200. In one embodiment, the display screen 3 is a touch display screen, and the user can control the photographing device 200 by touching the display screen 3. For example, the user can adjust the photographing parameters of the photographing device 200 or switch the photographing mode of the photographing device 200.

[0031] 4 and 5 , in some embodiments, the box body 1 includes a housing 11, a circuit board 12, and an electrical connection member 13. The housing 11 is provided with a receiving cavity 114, and the receiving cavity 114 is provided with an opening, which allows for easy insertion and removal of the imaging device 200. The housing 11 is further provided with a mounting cavity 115 on the opposite side of the mounting cavity 115 to provide mounting space for other assemblies. The circuit board 12 is used to provide a base for electrical connections and is received in the mounting cavity 115. The electrical connection member 13 is used to transmit electrical energy and electrical signals and is provided in the mounting cavity 115, with one end embedded in the surface of the housing 11 and the other end electrically connected to the circuit board 12. Therefore, when the imaging device 200 is received in the receiving cavity 114, it comes into contact with the electrical connection member 13 to establish an electrical connection.

[0032] Correspondingly, an exposed electrode or plug is provided at a position corresponding to the electrical connection member 13 of the imaging device 200, and when the imaging device 200 is accommodated in the accommodating cavity 114, the exposed electrode or plug comes into contact with the electrical connection member 13.

[0033] In this embodiment, the electrical connection member 13 is a pogo pin, which is a precision connector used in electronic products such as mobile phones and is widely used in semiconductor devices to perform connection functions. Pogo pins have advantages such as corrosion resistance, stability, and durability. In other embodiments, the electrical connection member 13 may also be an electrode made of a conductor.

[0034] 6 , in some embodiments, the box body 1 further includes a battery 14 accommodated in the housing 11. The battery 14 is electrically connected to the circuit board 12, and is used to supply electrical energy. Specifically, the battery 14 is used to supply electrical energy to the display screen 3 and the photographing device 200. When the photographing device 200 is accommodated in the accommodating cavity 114, the battery 14 transfers electrical energy to the photographing device 200 via the electrical connection member 13. The battery 14 may be a built-in rechargeable battery 14 or a removable battery 14. In other embodiments, the battery 14 is accommodated in the mounting cavity 115.

[0035] 1, 3, and 7, in some embodiments, the box body 1 further includes a control key 15 provided on the housing 11, preferably on the outer surface of the housing 11, making it easier for the user to use the control key 15. The control key 15 is electrically connected to the circuit board 12 and is used to control the photographing device 200 to take a photograph. Specifically, when the photographing device 200 is accommodated in the receiving cavity 114, an electrical connection is established between the photographing device 200 and the charging box 100, so that the photographing device 200 can be controlled by pressing the control key 15. When the photographing device 200 is separated from the box body 1 (removed from the receiving cavity 114), the photographing device 200 and the box body 1 are wirelessly connected, so that information indicating that the control key 15 has been pressed is wirelessly transmitted to the photographing device 200, thereby controlling the photographing device 200 to take a photograph.

[0036] 1, in one embodiment, the control keys 15 include a shutter key 151, a power key 152, and a switch key 153, where the shutter key 151 is used to control the photographing device 200 to take photos or record videos, the power key 152 is used to control the charging box 100 to turn on and off, and the switch key 153 is used to control the photographing device 200 to switch between various modes and select various parameters.

[0037] Referring to FIG. 7 , in some embodiments, the box body 1 further includes a communication module 16 disposed in the housing 11. The communication module 16 is electrically connected to the circuit board 12. The communication module 16 includes an antenna, can transmit and receive electromagnetic waves, and is used to establish a signal connection with the photographing device 200, thereby establishing a signal connection between the photographing device 200 and the box body 1. For the operating principle of the communication module 16, please refer to the related art. The communication module 16 can be embedded in the housing 11 or attached to the surface of the housing 11. In this embodiment, the communication module 16 is an antenna, and the photographing device 200 and the box body 1 are signal-connected via Bluetooth, and the antenna is embedded in the housing 11. In other embodiments, the signal connection between the photographing device 200 and the box body 1 is not limited to Bluetooth connection, and other connection methods, such as a wireless local area network, may be used.

[0038] 1 and 11, in some embodiments, the display screen 3 is rotatably connected to the box body 1 so as to be tightly fitted to the box body 1 or connected to the box body 1 at an angle, and includes a display surface 31, and when the display screen 3 is tightly fitted to the box body 1, the display surface 31 and the receiving cavity 114 are arranged back to back.

[0039] During use, the display screen 3 is rotated so that an angle is provided between the display surface 31 of the display screen 3 and the box body 1 so that the user can easily view the display surface 31. After use, the display screen 3 is rotated so that the display screen 3 is closely attached to the box body 1, thereby storing the display screen 3 and integrating the display screen 3 and the box body 1.

[0040] In another embodiment, the display surface 31 of the display screen 3 may be further disposed on the side of the display screen 3 facing the box body 1. The display screen 3 can be rotated relative to the box body 1 so that the display surface 31 is in close contact with the box body 1 or the display surface 31 is connected to the box body 1 at an angle. When the display screen 3 is open, it is easier for the user to observe, and when the display screen 3 is closed, the display surface 31 can be protected from damage due to impact.

[0041] 5 , in some embodiments, the box body 1 further includes a speaker 17 housed in the mounting cavity 115, and the speaker 17 is electrically connected to the circuit board 12. When the photographing device 200 is shooting a video, the sound of the video is played back by the speaker 17, thereby providing a better user experience. A sound emission hole (not shown) is provided in the housing 11 corresponding to the speaker 17, so that the sound emitted from the speaker 17 can be easily transmitted to the outside of the box body 1.

[0042] Referring to FIG. 5 , in some embodiments, the box body 1 further includes a vibration member 18 disposed in the mounting cavity 115. The vibration member 18 is electrically connected to the circuit board 12 and is used to provide vibration. For example, the vibration member 18 vibrates immediately after the image capture device 200 and the box body 1 establish a communication connection or an electrical connection, thereby providing feedback to the user. Naturally, the application scenario of the vibration member 18 is not limited thereto. The description herein is merely an example and should not be construed as limiting the embodiments of the present application. The vibration member 18 may include, but is not limited to, a vibration motor, a linear motor, etc.

[0043] 2 and 6, in some embodiments, one side of the housing 11 is provided with a connection portion 19, and at least two connection portions 19 are provided, with the two connection portions 19 spaced apart. The connection portions 19 are used to provide a connection base for an external quick-release device (not shown), thereby connecting the quick-release device to the housing 11. The quick-release device is generally an external functional module used to connect to a selfie stick, tripod, etc., so that the box body 1 can be attached to the selfie stick or tripod by the quick-release device when the quick-release device is connected.

[0044] In this embodiment, the connection portion 19 is a groove, and a movable hook is installed on the quick release device corresponding to this. The quick release device can be attached to the housing 11 by adjusting the opening angle of the hook of the quick release device and then inserting the hook into the locking groove.

[0045] In other embodiments, the connection portion 19 may further be an engaging protrusion (not shown), and accordingly, an engaging groove (not shown) is provided on the quick release device, and the quick release device is attached to the housing 11 by fitting the engaging protrusion and the engaging groove.

[0046] 5 and 6, in some embodiments, the box body 1 further includes a first magnetic body 20 and a second magnetic body 21, and the first magnetic body 20 is embedded in the housing 11. Specifically, the first magnetic body 20 may be embedded on the surface of the housing 11 or embedded inside the housing 11. The first magnetic body 20 is used to magnetically attract the quick release device. Accordingly, the quick release device is provided with a ferromagnetic material component, such as an iron block or nickel block, that corresponds to the first magnetic body 20 and is adapted to be attracted to the first magnetic body 20, thereby improving the connection strength between the quick release device and the housing 11.

[0047] The first magnetic body 20 is disposed between the two connecting parts 19, and when the quick release device is attached, both ends of the quick release device are fixed by the connecting parts 19. The central part of the box body 1 near the side where the quick release device is attached is attached to the surface of the box body 1 by the attraction of the first magnetic body 20, thereby improving the connection stability of the quick release device.

[0048] In some other embodiments, the quick release device is provided with a magnet that corresponds to the first magnetic body 20 and attracts the magnet to itself, and the magnetic pole of the magnet is opposite to that of the first magnetic body 20, thereby generating a magnetic force that attracts the first magnetic body 20 and the magnet to each other.

[0049] 5, the second magnetic body 21 is disposed in the mounting cavity 115 and is disposed corresponding to the receiving cavity 114 to magnetically attract the photographing device 200. Correspondingly, the quick release device is provided with a ferromagnetic material component, such as an iron block or nickel block, that is adapted to correspond to the first magnetic body 20 and to be attracted to the first magnetic body 20, thereby reducing the possibility of the photographing device 200 being dislodged from the receiving cavity 114.

[0050] In some other embodiments, the imaging device 200 is provided with a magnet that corresponds to the first magnetic body 20 and attracts the magnet to itself, and the magnetic pole of the magnet is opposite to the magnetic pole of the first magnetic body 20, thereby generating a magnetic force that attracts the first magnetic body 20 and the magnet to each other.

[0051] 4, 5, and 8, in some embodiments, the box body 1 further includes a clamping member 22 disposed in the receiving cavity 114 and rotatably mounted relative to the housing 11. Specifically, one end of the clamping member 22 penetrates the cavity wall of the receiving cavity 114 and enters the mounting cavity 115. When the photographing device 200 is received in the receiving cavity 114, the clamping member 22 rotates to lock the photographing device 200, thereby reducing the possibility of the photographing device 200 being removed from the receiving cavity 114. When the photographing device 200 needs to be removed from the receiving cavity 114, the clamping member 22 rotates to separate from the photographing device 200, allowing the photographing device 200 to be removed from the receiving cavity 114.

[0052] More preferably, two clamping members 22 are installed, and the two clamping members 22 are installed corresponding to two opposing cavity walls of the receiving cavity 114. When the imaging device 200 is received in the receiving cavity 114, the two clamping members 22 rotate and approach each other to clamp the imaging device 200.

[0053] The clamping member 22 may be hook-shaped, sheet-shaped, block-shaped, or have other irregular shapes. In this embodiment, the clamping member 22 is a hook, and the end of the hook closest to the opening of the receiving cavity 114 is the upper end. The upper end of the hook is approximately shaped like a "7" and is installed toward the center of the receiving cavity 114, and is used to clamp the imaging device 200.

[0054] 8 and 9, the box body 1 further includes a rotating shaft 221 and a restoring torsion spring 222. The rotating shaft 221 is substantially cylindrical and is provided in the accommodating cavity 114. For convenience of explanation, the end of the clamping member 22 farther from the opening of the accommodating cavity 114 is referred to as the bottom end, and the end of the clamping member 22 closer to the opening of the accommodating cavity 114 is referred to as the top end. The rotating shaft 221 passes through the portion of the clamping member 22 between the top and bottom ends, and the clamping member 22 is rotatable relative to the housing 11.

[0055] 9, the return torsion spring 222 is drilled into the rotation shaft 221 and installed corresponding to the clamping member 22. When the upper end of the clamping member 22 rotates toward the corresponding cavity wall, the return torsion spring 222 generates torque to restore the clamping member 22 to its initial position. During the process of inserting the imaging device 200 into the receiving cavity 114, the upper end of the clamping member 22 first rotates toward the corresponding cavity wall. At this time, the torque generated by the return torsion spring 222 causes the upper end of the clamping member 22 to abut against the imaging device 200. By clamping the imaging device 200 with the two opposing clamping members 22, the possibility of the imaging device 200 coming off the receiving cavity 114 can be reduced.

[0056] 9, the box body 1 further includes an unlock button 223 drilled into the housing 11 and one end located in the mounting cavity 115. For convenience of explanation, the end of the unlock button 223 located in the mounting cavity 115 is referred to as the inner end, and the end of the unlock button 223 located outside the housing 11 is referred to as the outer end. The inner end of the unlock button 223 is located corresponding to the bottom end of the clamping member 22. When the outer end of the unlock button 223 is pressed, the unlock button 223 moves toward the mounting cavity 115 and pushes in the bottom end of the clamping member 22. The bottom end of the clamping member 22 receives a thrust, and the top end of the clamping member 22 rotates toward the cavity wall closest to the receiving cavity 114. At this time, the clamping member 22 is separated from the imaging device 200, allowing the user to easily remove the imaging device 200 from the receiving cavity 114.

[0057] 9, the box body 1 further includes a return spring 224, one end of which is fixed and the other end of which abuts against the unlock button 223. When the unlock button 223 is not pressed, the return spring 224 is in its original length state, so that the outer end of the unlock button 223 protrudes from the housing 11. When the unlock button 223 is pressed, the return spring 224 is in a compressed state, and after the external force pressing the return spring 224 is removed, the spring returns to its original length and exerts elastic force, so that the unlock button 223 returns to its initial position.

[0058] 4 and 10 , in some embodiments, the box body 1 further includes a trigger member 23 and a switch member 24. The trigger member 23 is received in the mounting cavity 115, and one end of the trigger member extends through the cavity wall of the mounting cavity 115 into the receiving cavity 114. The switch member 24 is provided in the mounting cavity 115, facing the trigger member 23, and electrically connected to the circuit board 12. When the photographing device 200 is received in the receiving cavity 114, the gravity of the photographing device 200 applies a force to the trigger member 23, causing the trigger member 23 to move toward the switch member 24. The switch member 24 generates an electrical signal indicating that the photographing device 200 is received in the receiving groove, thereby establishing an electrical connection between the box body 1 and the photographing device 200.

[0059] The switch member 24 is a normally-closed switch. Therefore, when the imaging device 200 is removed from the accommodating cavity 114, the switch member 24 is in a non-energized state, which prevents electrical corrosion of the switch member 24 due to long-term non-energization.

[0060] 6 and 7 , in some embodiments, the housing 11 includes an outer frame 111, an inner frame 112, and an intermediate frame 113. The outer frame 111 is the outer edge of the housing 11, and the inner frame 112 is the inner edge of the housing 11. The outer frame 111 is fitted into the inner frame 112. The intermediate frame 113 is disposed between the outer frame 111 and the inner frame 112 and is made of a metal material. Therefore, the intermediate frame 113 can absorb heat emitted from the conductive components in the mounting cavity 115 and radiate the heat to the outside, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the box body 1. The intermediate frame 113 has a relatively large surface area, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect.

[0061] Correspondingly, the communication module 16 is preferably mounted on the surface of the inner frame 112 and has a predetermined surface area, thereby improving the communication module 16's ability to transmit and receive signals.

[0062] Correspondingly, the battery 14 is housed in an intermediate frame 113, which fixes the battery 14 in place.

[0064] When the photographing device 200 is removed from the receiving cavity 114, the box body 1 is signal-connected to the photographing device 200. Since there is always an electrical or signal connection between the box body 1 and the photographing device 200, the photographing device 200 can be controlled to take a photograph by the electrical signal between the housing 11 and the photographing device 200. When the photographing device 200 is received in the receiving cavity 114, the electrical connection between the box body 1 and the photographing device 200 can be used to charge the photographing device 200, and therefore the box body 1 can be used to control the charging of the photographing device 200.

[0065] The display screen 3 is provided at one end of the box body 1 and is electrically connected to the box body 1 for displaying the image captured by the camera 200. When the camera 200 is housed in the receiving cavity 114, the camera 200 and the box body 1 are electrically connected, and the camera 200 transmits the captured image information to the box body 1, which then transmits the image information to the display screen 3, so that the image captured by the camera 200 can be displayed on the display screen 3 while the camera 200 is housed in the receiving cavity 114. When the camera 200 is removed from the receiving cavity 114, the camera 200 transmits the captured image information to the box body 1 via a signal connection, and the box body 1 then transmits the image information to the display screen 3, so that the image captured by the camera 200 can still be displayed on the display screen 3 even after the camera 200 is removed from the box body 1.

[0066] Compared with the prior art, the charging box 100 of the present application has the function of displaying a shooting screen, and can display the screen shot by the shooting device 200 on the display screen 3 of the charging box 100 regardless of whether the shooting device 200 is accommodated in the accommodating cavity 114 of the box body 1, thereby providing a shooting preview and helping users take higher quality videos or photos.

[0068] The photographing device 200 has photographing and wireless communication functions. When the photographing device 200 is placed in the charging box 100, the photographing device 200 and the charging box 100 are electrically connected to transmit electric energy and electric signals, thereby allowing the charging box 100 to charge the photographing device 200 and control the photographing device 200 to take pictures. The photographing device 200 transmits the captured image to the display screen 3 of the charging box 100, thereby facilitating preview of the photographed image. When the photographing device 200 is removed from the charging box 100, the photographing device 200 is signal-connected to the charging box 100 and transmits the captured image to the box body 1 of the charging box 100, which further transmits an electric signal to the display screen 3, thereby facilitating preview of the photographed image and helping the user take higher-quality videos or photos.
