Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (1) Subject of the invention The present invention relates to a microphone with an attachment mechanism, and particularly relates to a microphone with an attachment mechanism that is attached to a device such as a video camera (hereinafter simply referred to as the device) and used together with the device. .

(2) Purpose of the invention The present invention provides a microphone with an attachment mechanism that allows for quick and reliable attachment, excellent operability, and prevents incorrect attachment when used attached to equipment. The purpose is to

(3) Contents of the conventional example and its drawbacks FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining how a conventional microphone is attached to a video camera. A conventional microphone 1 is used in a video camera 2, as shown in FIG.
The cable of microphone 1 was connected to the main body of video camera 2.

However, in the conventional method of attaching a microphone to a video camera as described above, there are many other cables connected to the video camera, so the microphone cable gets in the way when operating the video camera.
Also, attaching a microphone to a video camera,
Also, since it is necessary to connect the microphone cable to the video camera, it cannot be quickly installed and is complicated.

(4) Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a mounting mechanism that integrates a microphone and a microphone holder for mounting the microphone on equipment such as a video camera. The microphone includes a first locking means that elastically engages with a mounting portion provided on the device, and a second locking device that fixedly engages with a mounting portion provided on the device. , a guide section for determining the mounting position when the microphone holder is mounted on the device, a connecting section for electrically connecting the device and the microphone, and an erroneous mounting prevention means for preventing erroneous mounting. It is installed on the microphone holder.

(5) Embodiment of the invention Figures 2 to 4 show an embodiment of the invention, in which Figure 2 is a perspective view of a microphone with a mounting mechanism, and Figure 3 shows a microphone mounting part of a video camera. The perspective view and FIG. 4 are cross-sectional views for explaining how the microphone is attached to the video camera.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below. In addition,
The microphone used is a condenser microphone that requires a power source.

As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the microphone with mounting mechanism includes a microphone 1 and a video camera 2.
The microphone holder 3, which is a mounting mechanism for the microphone holder 3, is integrally constructed.
A protrusion 4 is provided on the upper part of the microphone, and a guard 5 for preventing incorrect attachment is provided on the lower part of the microphone.
The mounting portion of the video camera 2 is sandwiched between the erroneous mounting prevention guard 5 and the mounting portion of the video camera 2. A penetrating portion passing through the protruding portion 4 is provided on the upper surface of the protruding portion 4 of the microphone holder 3, and a fixing screw 6 is loosely fitted into the penetrating portion. A concave shoe 8 having the penetration portion and an opening for a steel ball 7 (described later) is provided on the lower surface of the protrusion 4 of the microphone holder 3, and the steel ball 7 is always pushed downward via a spring 9. The microphone holder 3 is attached inside the projection 4 of the microphone holder 3 so that the steel ball 7 protrudes from the opening for the steel ball 7. The microphone 1 is located on the side surface that contacts the main body of the video camera 2 between the protrusion 4 of the microphone holder 3 and the guard 5 to prevent incorrect installation.
A connector 11 is provided as a connection portion for connecting the video camera 2 and the video camera 2. This connector 11
is attached to the inside of the microphone holder 3 via a spring 10, and is always pushed in the side direction. A microphone mounting protrusion 12 is provided on the side surface of the main body of the video camera 2, which is a mounting section for the video camera 2. A convex shoe 15 that fits into the concave shoe 8 is provided on the upper surface of the microphone attachment protrusion 12.
has a recess 13 into which the steel ball 7 falls, and a recess 14 which is threaded so as to be screwed into the fixing screw 6. A connector 16 to be connected to the connector 11 is provided on the side surface of the microphone attachment protrusion 12 that contacts the microphone holder 3, and a cable-equipped microphone connector 17 is provided on the lower surface of the microphone attachment protrusion 12. Connector 16 is microphone 1
The microphone 1 has a terminal for transmitting audio signals from the video camera 2 to the video camera 2 and a terminal for supplying power from the video camera 2 to the microphone 1. There is. The connector 17 has only a terminal for transmitting the audio signal from the cable-attached microphone to the video camera 2, and does not have a terminal for supplying power from the video camera 2 to the cable-attached microphone. The microphone uses a power supply built into the cable-equipped microphone.

In order to mount the microphone with a mounting mechanism, in which the above-described microphone 1 and microphone holder 3 are integrally constituted, on the video camera 1, first, the concave shoe 8 of the microphone holder 3 and the video camera 2 are attached.
The convex shoe 15 is fitted and installed. Due to the above mounting, the steel ball 7 falls into the recess 13,
By the first locking means formed by elastic engagement between the steel ball 7 and the recess 13, the microphone with attachment mechanism is elastically locked to the video camera 2, and the connector 11 and the connector 16 are electrically connected. connected to. Further, the microphone with attachment mechanism is fixed to the video camera 2 by a fixed second locking means by screwing the fixing screw 6 into the recess 14. When using the cable-equipped microphone, the cable-equipped microphone is connected to the cable-equipped microphone connector 17. Note that when the microphone with a cable is connected to the video camera 2, the guard 5 to prevent incorrect attachment collides with the connector 18 of the microphone with a cable, so the microphone with the attachment mechanism cannot be attached, and conversely, the microphone with the attachment mechanism cannot be attached. Mechanical microphone to video camera 2
When the cable-equipped microphone connector 17 is attached to the microphone holder 3, the cable-equipped microphone connector 17 is covered by the incorrect attachment prevention guard 5 of the microphone holder 3, making it impossible to connect and use the cable-attached microphone. This will prevent incorrect installation. Further, when the cable-equipped microphone is connected to the connector 17 on the bottom surface of the protrusion 12 and the photograph is taken,
Even if it rains, since the connector 16 is provided on the side of the main body of the video camera 2, rainwater etc. will not get in easily and the drip-proof effect is high.

Although the above embodiment has been described using a video camera as the device, it is of course applicable to other devices as well.

(6) Effects of the invention Since the invention has the above-mentioned configuration, the microphone can be attached to the device and electrically connected quickly and reliably in a single operation, resulting in excellent operability.

Since the first locking means locks the microphone and the device at the same time as the attachment, even if the second locking means forgets to lock the microphone, accidents such as the microphone falling immediately are unlikely to occur. When the microphone with the attachment mechanism of the present invention is worn, other microphones cannot be connected, and there is no risk of accidentally connecting another microphone, thereby preventing incorrect attachment.

It has the above advantages.
