Thus, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention, presented in the figures, is not intended to limit the scope of the utility model, as claimed, but is merely representative of selected embodiments of the utility model.

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of the present invention, "a plurality" means two or more unless specifically defined otherwise.

Referring to fig. 1 to 3, a low head powered camera includes: a base 1; the shell 2 is movably hinged to the base 1, and a certain rotation angle is formed between the shell 2 and the base 1; a controller; the lens 3 is arranged on the shell 2, and the lens 3 is electrically connected with the controller; the Hall sensor 4 is arranged on the shell 2, and the Hall sensor 4 is electrically connected with the controller; a magnet 5, wherein the magnet 5 is installed on the base 1, and the hall sensor 4 detects the magnetic flux of the magnet 5; the angle formed between the base 1 and the shell 2 is adjusted, so that the magnetic flux measured by the Hall sensor 4 is adjusted, and the on-off of the camera is controlled by judging the numerical value of the magnetic flux and the threshold value of the switching point.

The controller comprises a USB interface, and the USB interface is connected to the electronic equipment.

The controller comprises a GPIO port, and the GPIO port is connected to the Hall sensor 4.

The camera with the low head power supply comprises a microphone 6, wherein the microphone 6 is arranged on the shell 2, and the microphone 6 is electrically connected with the controller.

The hall sensor 4 is a unipolar hall sensor or a full-polarity hall sensor.

The magnetic flux and polarity of the magnet 5 needs to match the magnetic flux operating point Bop and release point Brp of the hall sensor 4.

When the camera is lowered to a position lower than the preset angle, the camera enters a sleep mode due to the sensor, the camera stops shooting, and meanwhile the USB camera equipment pops out of the PC.

When the camera head rises to be higher than the preset angle, the camera enters a normal working mode due to the sensor, the camera continues to shoot, and meanwhile the USB camera equipment is connected to the PC again.

The working principle of the low-head power-off camera is as follows:

the utility model realizes the detection of the head lowering angle of the camera through the Hall effect of the Hall sensor 4, thereby realizing the function of head lowering dormancy.

When the camera is normally used, the magnetic flux of the magnet 5 arranged on the bracket is smaller than the magnetic flux value of the conduction working point of the switch of the Hall sensor 4, and the Hall sensor 4 is in a configured default output state (high level/low level);

when the camera is lowered to a set angle, the magnetic flux of the magnet 5 placed on the support is larger than the conduction magnetic flux value of the switch of the Hall sensor 4, and the Hall sensor 4 is switched to a conduction output level from a non-conduction output level, so that the switching from the lowered angle to the level is realized. When the initial state of the camera is in a low head state, if the head-up angle is larger than a preset head-up angle, the magnetic flux sensed by the Hall sensor 4 is smaller than a release point of the Hall sensor 4, and the Hall sensor 4 is switched from a conducted output level to a non-conducted output level, so that the switching from the head-up angle to the level is realized;

the output of the Hall sensor 4 is connected to a GPIO port of a processor of the USB camera, and the processor sets working modes according to different levels of the GPIO port. When sensing that the camera is lower than the low head angle, the master control will close the function of camera sensor part, stop camera work, and master control IC gets into low-power consumption sleep mode, and equipment pops out from the PC. When sensing that the camera is higher than the low head angle, the master control will open the function of camera sensor part, and master control IC is in normal operating mode, and equipment normally is connected to the PC and gets into photography mode.

The MOS tube Q102 is an enhancement type MOS tube. The triode Q104 is NPN type.

The utility model connects with external USB line through J100 connector, and supplies power to the whole machine with USB 5V.

High and low level signals output by the Hall sensor are sent to an ISP main control chip detection pin, and a camera sleep mode and a normal working mode are realized by software.

When the camera head is lowered, the Hall sensor U102 is close to the magnet, and the magnetic flux sensed by the Hall sensor U102 is increased to a certain level, the Vout pin of the Hall sensor U102 outputs a high level, the PM _ GPIO3 pin detects the high level, and the camera head enters a sleep mode.

When the camera head is raised, the hall sensor U102 moves away from the magnet, and the magnetic flux sensed by the hall sensor U102 decreases to a certain level, the Vout pin of the hall sensor U102 outputs a low level, and the PM _ GPIO3 pin detects the low level, and the normal mode is entered.
