Wherein, this interface arrangement can be provided with an engaging mechanism, in order to engage above-mentioned image capturing device removably.
And this control signal can be a pulse signal.
One of above-mentioned sensor can be pressure transducer, humidity sensor, chemical substance monitor, timer, sonic sensor, luminosity sensor, infrared ray sensor, and in the magnetic sensors.
Perhaps, this sensor can comprise a switch, makes this sensor produce voltage by external force and switches, and produce this induced signal.
Moreover this sensor can comprise a pattern recognition device, compares with the image of set pattern data and this surrounding environment, and produces a comparison result, and send this induced signal corresponding to this comparison result.
The simple declaration of accompanying drawing
Fig. 1 is the structural drawing of the utility model embodiment.
Carry out following detailed description in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, will understand the utility model better.
The detailed description of embodiment
As shown in Figure 1, the embodiment of the utility model imaging device is the digital camera 100 of an acoustic control formula, and is a kind of, comprises a camera body 10 (being the capturing images unit), a driver element 20 in order to the acquisition image, in order to drive this camera body 10.Wherein this driver element 20 is provided with an input end 21, in order to receive the control signal CS of established form, produces corresponding drive signal DS again to camera body 10.This drive unit 20 preferably is arranged in this camera body 10, makes both form one first modules A.
On the other hand, the digital camera 100 of present embodiment is to see through a sonic sensor 30 to carry out automatic photography.This sonic sensor 30 is when running, and when the outside sound decibel surpassed certain standard, this sonic sensor 30 becomes can produce an induced signal SS.
Digital camera 100 carries out the operation of capturing images according to the induced signal of sensor 30, this digital camera 100 be applicable to according to around the sound of environment take.For example in birthday party, this digital camera 100 can be caught the most lively a moment (that is sound decibel number surpasses a moment of a set value); Perhaps the biologist sees through this digital camera 100, the image when the seizure animal sends specific sound.
For to these camera body 10 generation effects, induced signal SS must be delivered to this first modules A.Present embodiment more provides an interface unit 40, and its function is the above-mentioned control signal CS that induced signal SS is converted to this established form, by 41 outputs of set output terminal, makes this first modules A start again.In the present embodiment, when around the decibels of sound wave when being lower than above-mentioned set value, the control signal CS that is produced is a direct current voltage, this moment, first modules A kept armed state; And the decibels of the sound wave of environment is higher than a set value around working as, and its corresponding control signal CS then forms a pulse (impulse) signal (not icon), and triggers the driver element 20 in first modules A, and driver element 20 is just controlled camera body 10 and taken.Interface unit 40 also can be considered as the second module B with sensor 30.
Characteristics of the present utility model, that is the characteristics of present embodiment are: these interface unit 40 removable this driver elements 20 that are loaded on.When interface unit 40 was installed in driver element 20, this input end 21 also was coupled to output terminal 41 simultaneously.In other words, first, second modules A, B constitute to couple removably.
Shown in the 1st figure, this interface unit 40 preferably is provided with first engaging mechanism 42, and this driver element 20 preferably is provided with second engaging mechanism 22 corresponding to this first engaging mechanism 42, in order to snap into this first engaging mechanism 42 removably.As shown in the figure, first, second engaging mechanism 42,22 of present embodiment can be corresponding Fastening tenon structure, in order to above-mentioned removable function to be provided.
The same with typical digital camera 100, be provided with a record unit 11 in this camera body 10, for another the FLASH internal memory, be image record (not icon) in order to this image storage that will be captured.Wherein this image recording is the numerical data of specific format, for example typical B MP form.
Should the second module B, the kind of sensor 30 can be changed, but most important, and the control signal that interface unit 40 is produced must meet above-mentioned form.By this, because first, second modules A, the B of present embodiment are detachable, first modules A can be changed other second module B with sensor, to carry out the auto photographing of other kenel.
Hold, this sensor 30 can also replace it with other sensor except above-mentioned sonic sensor.For example: pressure transducer, humidity sensor, chemical detector, timer, luminosity sensor, infrared ray sensor, and magnetic sensors or the like (not icon), be all the sensor existing, that what's frequently heard can be repeated in detail, its function is not given unnecessary details at this.Yet most important, this interface unit 40 is that the above-mentioned different sensors of response provides different conversion of signals, and produces the control signal CS of fixing above-mentioned form.
More broadly, the sensor comprises outer force transducer; Specifically be exactly switch, make this sensor produce voltage by external force and switch, and produce this induced signal, drive this first modules A and see through interface unit 40.
In addition, this sensor can be than complicated apparatus, for example pattern recognition device (not icon).Pattern recognition device is of a great variety, and major part is to compare with set pattern data and image all around, produces a comparison result.Capture this comparison result, send induced signal, produce the control signal CS of this established form then by this interface unit 40, can drive this first modules A corresponding to this comparison result.
Except the digital camera of present embodiment, capturing images of the present utility model unit more can be a digital camera, or the image capturing device of other kind.
The second above-mentioned module B more can be considered independently a kind of signal generator, that is, the manufacturer of imaging device can produce signal generator not of the same race (automatic photography external member), the different sensor of arranging in pairs or groups respectively provides to have the capturing images unit user of (for example above-mentioned camera body) chooses.
Imaging device of the present utility model can be changed various sensors by modular mode, quite meets economic benefits, and makes things convenient for the user to change various automatic photography mode.The design of imaging device of the present utility model obviously is better than prior art.
The detailed description of present embodiment is in order to for example, is not that the utility model is defined in the above embodiments.
