The invention relates to a pallet frame and an image recording system, in particular to a vehicle pallet frame and a driving image recording system.

With the development of automotive electronics, various electronic devices are gradually integrated into the interior of the vehicle, which greatly improves the sense of science and technology in the interior of the vehicle. For example, many new vehicles are equipped with large-size display screens, which can not only enhance the sense of technology inside the vehicle, but also can actually be used to control part of the vehicle's functions. However, due to the different design concepts of commercial vehicles or older vehicles, most of them are not equipped with large-size screens. If you want to install a screen for commercial vehicles or older vehicles, you often need to modify the interior of the vehicle. The difficulty and cost are high. Therefore, there are some designs that do not need to modify the interior of the vehicle, but temporarily fix the portable electronic device on the vehicle through a clamp.

In one example, the vehicle pallet 10 is a sun visor that is clamped above the driver's seat by two or more fixing members 112.

The circuit board 113 includes a control circuit 1131. Please refer to FIG. 3, which shows a functional block diagram of a control circuit 1131 in an embodiment of the present invention. It can be seen from the figure that the control circuit 1131 can obtain power from a single or multiple power sources, and can provide power to the portable electronic device 20. In addition, the control circuit 1131 can also output a corresponding control signal, such as a shutdown signal, to the external portable electronic device 20. In practice, the control circuit 1131 may include a surge protection unit 1131A, a DC stabilized power supply 1131B, a battery charger 1131C, a voltage detection unit 1131D, a processing unit 1131E, an energy storage unit 1131F, a wireless transmission unit 1131H, and a wireless charging unit 1131G. The various elements of the control circuit 1131 are described below.

The surge protection unit 1131A can be coupled to the power supply of the traffic vehicle, and can prevent the portable electronic device 20 from being damaged by high voltage or high current in a short time. For example, the surge protection unit 1131A can be a surge absorber, or a surge protector or chip that meets the ISO7637 standard is used to prevent the surge voltage generated at the moment when the car starts, and avoid the surge voltage caused by the surge protector. Damage to the portable electronic device 20. In addition, the surge protection unit 1131A may also be coupled to a DC stabilized power supply 1131B. The DC stabilized power supply 1131B is used to convert a relatively large input voltage into a relatively stable output voltage. In one example, the DC regulated power supply 1131B can be, for example, a wide-type power converter with an operating range of 10V to 28V. In addition, the battery charger 1131C can be used to control the charging current of the portable electronic device 20, for example, various charging modes can be selected. For example, the battery charger 1131C can choose to charge the portable electronic device 20 in a constant current mode or a constant voltage mode, or can set various current and voltage targets, which will not be repeated in the present invention.

In practice, when the battery charger 1131C selects the charging mode, it can refer to the battery voltage of the portable electronic device 20 measured by the voltage detection unit 1131D. For example, when the battery voltage of the portable electronic device 20 is very low, the battery is charged. The device 1131C can choose to charge the portable electronic device 20 in a constant current mode. When the battery voltage of the portable electronic device 20 is about to be fully charged, the battery charger 1131C can choose to charge the portable electronic device 20 in a constant voltage mode. Here, the voltage detection unit 1131D can be a part of the battery charger 1131C. For example, the voltage detection unit 1131D can be integrated into the chip of the battery charger 1131C, and this embodiment is not limited.

In addition, the voltage detection unit 1131D can also detect the power supply voltage of the traffic vehicle, and provide the power supply voltage value of the traffic vehicle to the processing unit 1131E. The processing unit 1131E can be a central processing unit, a single chip, a PLC, or various microchips or microcontrollers. It can be used to determine the magnitude of the aforementioned current and voltage, and to determine whether the on-board voltage is less than the voltage threshold (for example, 5V, 12V or 30V). In one example, when the power supply voltage of the traffic vehicle is less than the voltage threshold, it can be determined that the switch of the traffic vehicle has been closed, and the processing unit 1131E generates a shutdown signal. For example, the shutdown signal can cause the portable electronic device 20 to shut down or enter a sleep state. In addition, the energy storage unit 1131F can be used to supply power to the control circuit 1131. For example, it can be a battery installed in the control circuit 1131. The type of battery is not limited in this embodiment. For example, it can be a rechargeable lithium battery or a super capacitor. . After the processing unit 1131E generates the shutdown signal, the processing unit 1131E can transmit the shutdown signal to the portable electronic device 2 via the wireless transmission unit 1131H, so that the portable electronic device 2 enters the aforementioned shutdown or sleep state. This embodiment does not limit the transmission technology of the wireless transmission unit 1131H. For example, it can be WIFI, Bluetooth, etc., as long as the wireless transmission unit 1131H can transmit the shutdown signal to the portable electronic device 2, it should belong to the wireless transmission unit 1131H of this embodiment. category. Of course, if the processing unit 1131E and the portable electronic device 2 are connected by a physical line, it should also be regarded as a simple change of the wireless transmission unit 1131H.

On the other hand, the control circuit 1131 may also have a wireless charging unit 1131G for wirelessly charging the portable electronic device 2. For example, the wireless charging unit 1131G may include multiple metal coils to emit electromagnetic waves to the portable electronic device. 2Charge. When the portable electronic device 2 has a corresponding power receiving element, the effect of wireless charging can be achieved. In addition, this embodiment does not limit the portable electronic device 20 to be charged by wire or wirelessly, that is, the wireless charging unit 1131G in this example may be an unnecessary component.

Please return to FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B, the lower cover 120 of the pallet 10 for a vehicle shown in the drawings is pivotally connected to the upper cover 110 by a hinge 130. The present embodiment does not limit the shape or structure of the hinge 130, and it is not necessary to use various known rotating shafts on the market. In order to describe the lower cover 120 of this embodiment in detail, please refer to FIG. 2, which is a perspective schematic view of the lower cover of the pallet 10 for a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention. As can be seen from the figure, the lower cover 120 may include a lower back plate 121 and a frame 125 provided on the lower back plate 121. In one example, the outer contours of the lower back plate 121 and the frame body 125 are both substantially rectangular. The frame 125 is connected to the lower back plate 121 by three side walls respectively disposed on the three edges thereof, so as to define an accommodating space or accommodating portion 121A between the frame 125 and the lower back plate 121. The side without the side wall can be left blank to allow the portable electronic device 20 to enter the accommodating portion 121A between the frame 125 and the lower back plate 121 through the gap 121C. At the same time, a long blocking member 123, such as a rubber strip or a plastic plate, is further provided at the gap 121C, allowing the user to close the gap 121C after the portable electronic device 20 is installed to prevent the portable electronic device 20 from falling out. In addition to the aforementioned gap 121C, the frame 125 is provided with an opening 125A at the front to allow the user to observe the display screen 220 of the portable electronic device 20 through the opening 125A, and the shape of the opening 125A is roughly the same as that of the portable electronic device. The display screen 220 of the 20 corresponds to, but is slightly smaller than the screen 220 of the portable electronic device 20, thereby preventing the portable electronic device 20 from falling out of the opening 125A. The opening 125A can optionally be provided with a transparent material layer to serve as a protective layer for the screen 220 of the portable electronic device 20. However, in one example, the opening 125A can also be a through hole without a protective film. .

On the other hand, the lower back plate 121 has a light-transmitting area 121B, and the light-transmitting area 121B allows light to pass from one side of the lower back plate 121 to the other side. That is, as long as the area that allows light to pass through can be regarded as the aforementioned light-transmitting area 121B, whether there is an object (such as glass or film) does not affect the identification of the light-transmitting area 121B. In one example, the light-transmitting area 121B is a perforation on the lower back plate 121, and the perforation can optionally be provided with a protective cover. The light-transmitting area 121B on the lower back plate 121 can have different designs according to the shape and size of the corresponding portable electronic device 20. In an example, the light-transmitting area 121B is located at a corner of the lower back plate 121 and its position corresponds to the position of the lens in the imaging module 210 of the portable electronic device 20. In addition, in some embodiments, by enlarging the size of the light-transmitting area 121B, the light-transmitting area 121B can correspond to the position of the lens or multi-lens of the portable electronic device 20 commonly available in the market. Furthermore, an optical module 122 can be provided on the other surface of the lower back plate 121 opposite to the portable electronic device 20 opposite to the upper part of the light-transmitting area 121B. Furthermore, the first surface 1211 of the lower back plate 121 can optionally be provided with a solar panel 124. The solar panel 124 can be electrically connected to the energy storage unit 1131F in the circuit board 113 of the upper cover 110 by a wire to provide electrical energy to it. In addition, in some embodiments, the entire lower back plate 121 may also be made of a transparent material, that is, the size of the light-transmitting area 121B is not limited. In addition, it is not necessary for the lower cover 120 to be provided with a frame 125. If necessary, it can also adopt a design such as the multiple fixing members 112 of the upper cover 110 to fix the portable electronic device 20, which is not limited by the present invention. .

To illustrate the structure of the optical module 122, please refer to FIG. 4A. FIG. 4A illustrates a three-dimensional schematic diagram of the optical module according to an embodiment of the present invention. It can be seen from the figure that the optical module 122 includes a reflective element 1221, a frame 1222, a slider 1223, and a base 1224. The reflective element 1221 can be any optical element that can reflect light and change the path of light. For example, the reflective element 1221 can be a variety of fixed or movable, flat mirrors, curved mirrors, total reflection mirrors, and fiber bundles. And other optical components. For the convenience of description, here is an example that the reflective element 1221 is a flat mirror, and the reflective element 1221 may be approximately 45 degrees with the lower back plate 121, so that after the light perpendicular to the lower back plate 121 passes through the reflective element 1221, Change the direction of travel to be parallel to the light rays of the lower back plate 121.

The frame 1222 is an element for supporting the reflective element 1221. In one example, the frame 1222 is a triangular columnar three-dimensional frame, and this design allows the surface between the brackets to allow light to pass through. However, the design and operation of the frame 1222 are not limited by the present invention. For example, the frame 1222 and the reflective element 1221 can be pivotally connected by a rotating shaft 1225. The sliding block 1223 is a component used to connect the frame 1222 and the base 1224. In one example, the slider 1223 is based on a large circular ring structure, a smaller circular ring structure is concentrically arranged on the upper side, the upper large circular ring and the lower small circular ring are integrally formed, and the inner ring size of the two is Consistent and concentrically set. The base 1224 is a rectangular frame 125, and the middle part of the inner side wall of the frame 125 retracts inward to form a groove inside the frame 125 for use as a rail 1224A. In addition to sliding along the groove of the frame 125, the slider 1223 can also rotate at its center to meet various needs. Figures 4B and 4C illustrate the optical module in different situations, according to the diagram The schematic diagram of the AA reference line cut in 4A, you can see the mobility of each element.

In application, the reflective element 1221 is movably arranged on a surface of the frame 1222 via a shaft member. By controlling the angle of the shaft member in advance, the reflection angle of the light can be controlled jointly. The other side of the frame 1222 opposite to the reflective element 1221 is connected to the slider 1223. The outer edge of the larger annular base in the slider 1223 is movably embedded in the groove of the base 1224, and the width of the grooves on both sides of the base 1224 is slightly larger than the diameter of the slider 1223, so that the slider 1223 It can be moved along the chute of the base 1224 as required. When the slider 1223 moves, the upper frame 1222 and the reflective element 1221 can be driven to move the upper reflective element 1221 between the first position 1211A and the second position 1211B, as shown in FIG. 4D. Please refer to FIG. 4D and FIGS. 5A to 5D together. FIGS. 5A to 5D show schematic diagrams of the driving image recording system in each state of an embodiment of the present invention. When the reflective element 1221 is at the first position 1211A, the reflective element 1221 overlaps the light-transmitting area 121B, and the reflective element 1221 is used to reflect visible light and direct the visible light toward a first direction D1. At the same time, the bottom surface of the base 1224 of the optical module 122 is fixed on the first surface 1211 of the lower back plate 121. The first surface 1211 is the other surface of the lower back plate 121 opposite to the portable electronic device 20. Portable electronic device The surface of the set 20 is called the second surface 1212. In this way, although the base 1224 is fixed, by moving the position of the slider 1223 relative to the base 1224, the position of the reflective element 1221 can also be adjusted accordingly.

As a practical example, FIG. 5A demonstrates that the portable electronic device 20 has not been placed in the car pallet 10, and the car pallet 10 can initially be folded up and close to the object 2 (such as a sun visor). In detail, the vehicle pallet 10 can clamp and fix the object 2 (for example, sun visor) above the driver's seat by its multiple fixing members 112, and the lower cover 120 of the vehicle pallet 10 can be attached to The upper cover 110 can be attached to the object 2 (for example, a sun visor). In other words, the upper cover 110, the lower cover 120 and the object 2 are attached to each other and substantially parallel, and should not block the driver U's view.

Next, please refer to FIGS. 5A and 5B together. FIG. 5B shows a schematic diagram after the driver U puts the portable electronic device 20 into the pallet 10 for the vehicle. As can be seen from the figure, assuming that the driver U does not need to manipulate the portable electronic device 20, the vehicle pallet 10 can still be close to the object 2 (for example, the sun visor). At this time, the lens of the imaging module 210 in the portable electronic device 20 points to the ground direction (below the figure), but by moving the optical module 122 in the lower cover 120 to the first position 1211A, it can be The optical module 122 is aligned with the aforementioned light-transmitting area 121B. At this time, the reflective element 1221 can receive the front visible light. For example, the visible light enters the reflective element 1221 toward the first direction D1. Since the image capturing module 210 and the light-transmitting area 121B overlap in position, those with ordinary knowledge in the art It can be seen that visible light can be reflected into the lens of the imaging module 210. That is, the image capturing module 210 can obtain the image in front of the vehicle through the reflective element 1221. With this design, even if the portable electronic device 20 is arranged in parallel with the sun visor, it can also shoot forward images, which is an application method of the driving image recording system.

The driver U may need to use the portable electronic device 20 while driving. At this time, the lower cover 120 can be turned down, as shown in FIG. 5C. At this time, the screen of the portable electronic device 20 may face the driver U, so that the driver U can watch the screen of the portable electronic device 20 or operate the portable electronic device 20 by touch. In addition, this embodiment also demonstrates that in the case of FIG. 5C, the driving image recording system can still continuously shoot forward images without interruption due to the lower cover 120 being turned down.

As can be seen from the figure, because the lower cover 120 is turned down and the imaging module 210 of the portable electronic device 20 is roughly facing the front of the vehicle, unlike FIG. 5B, the optical module 122 is not required to reflect light at this time. In one example, the driver U can manually move the optical module 122 in the lower cover 120 from the first position 1211A to the second position 1211B. Since the reflective element 1221 will not be located on the optical axis of the lens of the imaging module 210, the reflective element 1221 will not overlap the light-transmitting area 121B. Therefore, the visible light enters the lens of the imaging module 210 toward a second direction D2 without being reflected by the reflective element 1221. In one example, the portable electronic device 20 may be equipped with a specific programming interface for the user to simultaneously view the real-time images captured by the imaging module 210.

Although FIG. 5C illustrates the case where the lower cover 120 is rotated about 90 degrees, the present embodiment does not limit the rotation angle of the lower cover 120 here. In an example, the lower cover 120 can also be a schematic diagram of when the lower cover 120 is pushed forward (for example, the front windshield is pushed). For example, the driver U can use the lower cover 120 to shade. As can be seen from FIG. 5D, since the imaging module 210 of the portable electronic device 20 shoots toward the sky, and to adjust the shooting angle back to the front of the vehicle, the user can manually remove the optical module 122 in the lower cover 120 The second position 1211B moves back to the first position 1211A. In practice, the driver U can rotate the reflective element 1221 at a desired angle and adjust its angle, so that the visible light enters the lens of the imaging module 210 toward a third direction D3 after being reflected by the reflective element 1221. It can be seen that even if the lower cover 120 is rotated to different angles, the driving image recording system of this embodiment may still rotate or move the moving optical module 122 of the pallet 10 for the vehicle, and the portable electronic device 20 The image capturing module 210 keeps capturing the front image. As mentioned above, there can be solar panels on the same surface (first surface) of the optical module 122 (such as solar panels 124 in FIG. 1A). When the lower cover 120 is pushed forward to the windshield, the solar panels can be More light is absorbed to convert it into electrical energy.

In the operation of the driving image recording system, first, the control circuit 1131 in the pallet 10 for the vehicle and the portable electronic device 20 must be electrically connected. When the electric door of the vehicle is opened, the control circuit 1131 of the vehicle pallet 10 will obtain electric energy from the inside of the vehicle. The electric energy can be transmitted to the portable electronic device 20 through the surge protection unit 1131A, the DC stabilized power supply 1131B and the battery charger 1131C. . When the voltage detection unit 1131D detects that the switch of the vehicle is open, it can send a corresponding signal to the processing unit 1131E. The processing unit 1131E can determine that the car has started based on the signal, and then can transmit a startup signal to the portable electronic device 20 from the wireless transmission unit 1131H or the charging cable, so that the portable electronic device 20 can change from the low power consumption The sleep state is switched to the working state. Of course, the power-on signal can also enable the portable electronic device 20 to enter the working state through the startup process from the power-off state that does not consume power, and this embodiment is not limited herein. In one example, the upper cover 110 of the vehicle pallet 10 uses the wireless charging unit 1131G to wirelessly charge the portable electronic device 20 in the lower cover 120. However, the present invention is not limited to this. In addition to wireless charging, The upper cover 110 of the vehicle pallet 10 can also be powered by the portable electronic device 20 in the lower cover 120 through a power cord. In one example, the portable electronic device 20 may be preset with a corresponding program. For example, when the portable electronic device 20 receives the aforementioned boot signal, it may automatically turn on the imaging module 210 to capture the captured image. Store it up.

When the driver U closes the switch, the voltage detection unit 1131D on the control circuit 1131 can detect a decrease in the power supply voltage of the traffic vehicle, and the processing unit 1131E can determine whether the power supply voltage is less than a preset value based on the signal from the voltage detection unit 1131D The voltage threshold value. If so, a shutdown signal is generated and transmitted to the portable electronic device 20 by the wireless transmission unit 1131H or the charging cable pair, so that the portable electronic device 20 executes the shutdown procedure. Of course, the driver U can then take out the portable electronic device 20 from the pallet 10 for independent use.

In summary, the vehicle pallet and the driving image recording system provided by the present invention can fix the portable electronic device to the sun visor, avoiding the installation of the portable electronic device on the air-conditioning port or the front windshield. Various problems. When the user wants to use the portable electronic device, the lower cover of the car pallet can be flipped out, so that the screen of the portable electronic device can be viewed or operated. In addition, the optical module of the lower cover of the vehicle pallet can guide the photographing direction of the portable electronic device, so that the portable electronic device can smoothly photograph the front image of the vehicle regardless of whether the sun visor is opened or folded. With this, portable electricity The sub-device can also be used as a driving video recording system, so that the portable electronic device can perform more functions.
