Driving recorder with temporary fixed structure

This creation relates to a driving recorder, in particular to a driving recorder with a temporary fixed structure.

With the continuous evolution of the automobile and motorcycle industry, many peripheral product demands have gradually developed in response to people's requirements for driving quality. For example, in-car audio-visual equipment, GPS navigation, driving recorders, etc. are all. Among them, the evolution of the driving recorder is accompanied by the development of technology and application, and has the most face.

Initially, the driving recorder is fixed inside the car and operated by the power system of the car. The main function is to monitor the events that occur in front of the car when driving, so that in the event of a traffic accident, the owner can still do the current thing. Protect yourself from the original appearance. As the video recorder module of the driving recorder becomes more and more precise and the appearance is smaller and smaller, the driving recorder can be installed in any orientation of the vehicle body (mainly in the front-rear direction) to perform simultaneous monitoring of more viewing angles. For locomotives, the market for driving recorders is also expanding. Due to the insufficient space available for the locomotive, the locomotive is installed in the vicinity of the locomotive faucet at the stage where the locomotive rider begins to use the driving recorder. Thereafter, a driving recorder was also designed to be mounted on the helmet, facing the knight's gaze, with a secondary battery as a source of power. The latest evolution is that locomotive manufacturers consider driving records As standard equipment for locomotives, it is embedded in the front bezel of the locomotive.

Whether it is for locomotives or cars, the most important thing for the owner is to be able to monitor the dead corners of the car that may be involved in the collision (including the rear of the car and the side of the line of sight), and this dead angle There is a difference for each car, and every car owner is different. Therefore, a fixed driving recorder cannot meet the above requirements. In addition, today's Chinese people like to travel outdoors, and the beautiful scenery that they pass through while they want to play, hope to be recorded as a tourist memory. If the recording angle of the driving recorder can be changed, such as shooting the coastal scenery along the right side of the direction of the vehicle, the driving recorder will be very popular. However, there is currently no such product on the market.

Therefore, after understanding the actual needs, the creators of this case developed a driving recorder with a temporary fixed structure based on more than ten years of experience in the field of driving recorders and web cameras to meet the aforementioned needs.

The digitized file can be read by the computer after the memory card is removed. The storage unit 120 can also be fixed in a row The flash memory module in the car recorder 10 uses an output port (such as a USB port, not shown) to access the digitized file. The wireless transceiver module 130 is electrically connected to the processing unit 110 for transmitting the digitized file to the specific device external to the driving recorder 10 by using electromagnetic waves as a medium. Generally, the wireless transceiver module 130 can be a Wi-Fi module, and the digital file is transmitted to a specific URL by connecting to the mobile network, and the receiver may be a remote server. The wireless transceiver module 130 can also be a Bluetooth module, which is connected to a tablet computer in the vehicle, and uses streaming technology (dividing the recorded digital file into several packets) so that the person using the tablet can receive the driving record synchronously. The image recorded by the device 10. However, in other embodiments, the wireless transceiver module 130 may be an option and not necessarily provided. After all, the storage unit 120 is already available, and the recorded data can be temporarily saved for review when necessary. The power module 140 can be used to supply the power required for the two video recording modules 100, the processing unit 110, the storage unit 120, and the wireless transceiver module 130 to operate (the connection manner is indicated by dotted lines). According to the spirit of the present invention, the power module 140 can be a primary battery pack, and the battery core can be replaced when the power is exhausted; the power module 140 can also be a secondary battery pack, and the operating power is maintained by continuous charging.

The first housing assembly 200 houses the second video recording module 100, the processing unit 110, the storage unit 120, the wireless transceiver module 130, and the power module 140 for protecting the components and exposing the two video recording modules 100. The portion, that is, a portion of the lens 104, allows the video capture module 100 to view. It can be seen from the sectional view of the driving recorder 10 shown in FIG. 3 that the first housing assembly 200 mainly includes several Portion: a housing 210, a connecting portion 220 and a first connecting structure 230. An accommodating space 240 is formed inside the accommodating case 210 for accommodating the foregoing components. The outer large dashed box of FIG. 2 shows an overview of the components covered by the housing 210, and a portion of the lens 104 is outside the housing 210. The first connection structure 230 has a spherical configuration in the present embodiment for detachable connection with a second connection structure 310 (which will be described in detail below). The connecting portion 220 is a bridge receiving housing 210 and a first connecting structure 230.

A magnet 320 is mounted on the bottom of the second housing assembly 300. The first housing assembly 200 is detachably coupled to the second housing assembly 300 and is rotatable relative to each other. More precisely, the first housing assembly 200 and the second housing assembly 300 are detachably coupled to the second connection structure 310 using the first connection structure 230. In this embodiment, the second connecting structure 310 may be a spherical housing corresponding to the spherical structure of the first connecting structure 230. When the first connecting structure 230 is engaged with the second connecting structure 310, a ball joint is formed, and the two are corresponding ball joints. structure. For the first connection structure 230, it can be placed into the interior space 330 of the second housing assembly 300 prior to assembly of the first housing assembly 200 to facilitate overall assembly. Since the first connecting structure 230 is still at a distance from the bottom of the second housing assembly 300, and the fixing is unstable, an auxiliary connecting structure 340 can be used to support the first connecting structure 230. As shown in FIG. 3, the upper shape of the auxiliary connecting structure 340 is close to the spherical arc surface of the first connecting structure 230, the two sides are in contact with the second housing assembly 300, and the bottom portion is in contact with a part of the magnet. According to the spirit of the present invention, in other embodiments, as long as the first connecting structure 230 and the second connecting structure 310 can be relatively stably engaged, auxiliary The connection structure is not an essential component. The magnet 320 can be used to adsorb the part of the automobile and the ferrous material of the locomotive casing, so that the driving recorder 10 can be temporarily fixed to the automobile or the locomotive. Therefore, the aforementioned temporary fixing structure can refer to the magnet 320 and the second casing. Body combination 300. In addition, the spherical outer surface of the first housing assembly 200 and the spherical housing of the second connection structure 310 allow the two to rotate relative to each other, which allows the lens 104 of the fixed driving recorder 10 to adjust the orientation.

The material of the base 400 is mainly iron, and can be temporarily combined with the magnet 320 by magnetic force. Preferably, the base 400 is integrally formed. The lower portion of the base 400 can be further coupled to a coupling device 430 for reproducibly and detachably engaging a portion of a vehicle body. In this embodiment, the bottom surface of the base 400 is a flat surface. In practice, the bottom surface of the base 400 can be a curved surface because the coupling device 430 generally has elasticity, and the curved surface can be closer to the outer shape of the car. Moreover, the bonding device 430 can be a double-sided tape, such as a commercially available 3M double-sided tape. The protective film on one side of the double-sided tape is bonded to the bottom surface of the base 400, and the protective film on the other side can be used together with the car. The parts of the body are reproducibly and detachably combined. In other embodiments, the bonding device can be a Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE). Since the surface of the thermoplastic elastomer also has a certain adhesiveness, the seat 400 of the driving recorder 10 can be conveniently placed inside the automobile, especially above the instrument panel, adjacent to the platform near the windshield, and does not easily slide. Since the seat body 400 and the magnet 320 can be temporarily combined by magnetic force, the aforementioned temporary fixing structure can also be referred to as the seat body 400. That is, the driving recorder 10 can be different from the car by the magnet 320 or the binding device 430. Temporary fixation is performed in the case.

In another embodiment, the first connection structure 230 and the second connection structure 310 are corresponding hinge structures. Please see figure 4. The first connecting structure 230 and the second connecting structure 310 have a pin hole 500. After the first connecting structure 230 is aligned with the pin hole 500 of the second connecting structure 310, a pin 510 is inserted into the pin hole 500 to achieve the hinge. The first housing assembly 200 and the second housing assembly 300 can be pivoted relative to the pin 510.

In still another embodiment, the first connecting structure 230 and the second connecting structure 310 are corresponding screw structures. See Figure 5. The first connecting structure 230 is a female screw structure, and the second connecting structure 310 is a male screw structure (the two structures are interchangeable), and the first connecting structure 230 and the second connecting structure 310 can be rotatably connected. The first housing assembly 200 and the second housing assembly 300 can be adjusted by the degree of tightness of the rotary connection, with relatively slight rotation.

In still another embodiment, the first connecting structure 230 and the second connecting structure 310 are corresponding circular snap rings and circular card groove structures. See Figure 6. The first connecting structure 230 is a circular card groove structure, and the second connecting structure 310 is a circular snap ring structure (the two structures are interchangeable), and the first connecting structure 230 and the second connecting structure 310 can be applied by arrows. The force is combined, and the circular snap ring structure card is placed in the circular card groove structure to complete the connection. The first housing assembly 200 and the second housing assembly 300 can be relatively rotated by sliding the circular snap ring structure within the circular card groove structure.

In accordance with the spirit of the present invention, the bonding device 430 may have a rigid structure in addition to the above elastic material. As shown in Fig. 7, in an embodiment The binding device 430 can be a clamp for holding a fixture of the vehicle body, such as the rear view mirror 520.

As apparent from the above description, the present invention uses the magnet 320 to attract the iron material to each other, and further fixes the driving recorder 10 (which can pass through the base 400) to the casing of the automobile or the locomotive. This temporary fixing has the advantage that the owner can remove the driving recorder 10 from the vehicle body when he gets off the vehicle, and then install it when the vehicle is to be used. In this way, the driving recorder 10 has the function of anti-theft and anti-theft. Such a design has not appeared in commercially available driving recorders.

Although the present invention has been disclosed in the above embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention, and any person skilled in the art can make some changes and refinements without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. The scope of protection of this creation is subject to the definition of the scope of the patent application attached.
