Description

Technical Field [0001] The present invention relates to a camera attachment device for a helmet,

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an apparatus for attaching a camera to a helmet, and more particularly, to a camera attachment apparatus for a helmet which enables rotation of an attached camera.

Since extreme sports and motorcycle users can not shoot cameras with their hands, they use a helmet or goggles with built-in cameras. However, in the case of the built-in camera, utilization in the general environment such as traveling and walking is extremely low, and only the fixed direction is photographed in advance, so that it is inconvenient for the user to acquire the image of the desired angle.

FIG. 1 is a view showing an example in which a camera is attached to a helmet using the apparatus for attaching a helmet according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is an example of a case in which a camera attached to the helmet is rotated at an angle desired by a user Fig.

1 and 2, the helmet camera attachment device 120 is fixed to one side of the helmet 100 and may further include a microphone 130 or a speaker 140 as needed. Here, the speaker is connected to the helmet camera attaching device 120 by a line, and is positioned at the user's ear portion in the helmet. As shown in FIG. 2, the user can rotate the camera 110 attached to the helmet camera attachment device 120 to acquire images in a desired direction.

FIG. 3 is a side view of a camera attachment device for a helmet according to the present invention in which a camera is mounted, FIG. 4 is an example of a back side of a camera attachment device for a helmet according to the present invention, Fig.

3 and 4, the camera 110 attached to the helmet camera attachment device 120 includes a button 310, a jog dial 300, and the like. The camera 110 may further include at least one interface capable of connecting to an external device such as a universal serial bus (USB) port. Details of the camera according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

The helmet camera attachment device 120 may or may not include a speaker or a microphone. The case shown in FIG. 3 includes a case where the microphone 130 is included. The helmet camera attachment device 120 includes a mount 400 that is rotatable for rotation of an attached camera. The holder 400 is connected to the main body 410 through a rotating member having a serration pattern as shown in FIG. The coupling structure of the holder 400 and the main body 410 will be described with reference to Fig.

The helmet camera attachment device 120 is fixed to the helmet in such a manner that the helmet is fitted between the main body 410 and the bracket 420. As another example, the helmet camera attachment device 120 may be fixed to the helmet using a screw or an adhesive without using the bracket 420, Method can be applied.

5 is a view showing an example of a structure in which a camera is detachably attached to a helmet camera attachment device according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 5, the camera 110 is detachably attached to a holder 400 of a camera attachment device 120 for a helmet. The camera 110 includes a protrusion 510 and a tension unit 520. The mount 400 includes first and second protrusions 510 and 520 corresponding to the protrusions 510 and 520 of the camera 110, Grooves 515,535. The protrusion 510 is inserted and fixed in the first groove 515 of the cradle, and the elastic tensioning portion 520 is fixed to the second groove 535.

The apparatus may further include interfaces 500 and 505 for electrically connecting the camera 110 and the camera attachment device 120 for helmet when a device such as a microphone or a speaker is present in the helmet camera attachment device 120 . Depending on the embodiment, the interface may not be present.

For example, when the microphone and the speaker are connected to the main body 410, the interface 505 of the mount 400 is electrically connected to the microphone and the speaker of the main body. At this time, the electric wire connected to the microphone and the speaker may be connected to the interface 505 of the docking station through a circular hole formed under the docking station 400 and the rotary members 600 and 610 of the body 410 shown in Fig.

6 is a diagram showing an example of a detailed configuration for rotation of a helmet camera attachment device according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 6, the helmet camera attaching apparatus includes a mount table 400 and a main body 410. The holder 400 detachably attaches the camera as shown in FIG. The main body 410 is fixed to the helmet using a fixing member such as a bracket 420 or the like.

The holder 400 and the main body 410 are connected to each other via the rotating members 600 and 610 including the serration pattern. More specifically, the holder 400 includes a first rotating member 600 including a serration pattern, and the main body 410 includes a serration pattern corresponding to the serration pattern of the first rotating member 600 And a second rotating member 610 for rotating the second rotating member 610. The holder 400 and the main body 410 are coupled to each other by a coupling portion 620 such as a screw through the center of the first rotating member 600 and the second rotating member 610.

Here, the serration pattern is a pattern in which a serpentine-like curvature is formed, and is not necessarily limited to the serrations. For example, if the serration pattern of the first rotating member 600 is a semicircular convex pattern, the second rotating member 610 may be a concave pattern corresponding to the blocked pattern.

At least one of the first rotating member 600 and the second rotating member 610 may be formed of an elastic member such as rubber to facilitate rotation of the holder 400 with respect to the main body. For example, the first rotating member 600 of the holder 400 may be formed of rubber, and the second rotating member 610 of the body 410 may be formed of plastic.

FIG. 7 is a view showing an example of a rotation member having the serration pattern shown in FIG.

Referring to FIG. 7, the serration pattern 710 of the rotating member 700 is not formed on the entire circle, but is preferably formed on an outer portion of the circle to increase the convenience of rotation by the user. For example, it is preferred that the serration pattern be formed only between circles of radius a and radius b (a < b). For example, a ceration pattern having a radius a equal to or greater than b / 2 can be formed.

8 is a diagram showing an example of a detailed configuration of a camera attached to a helmet camera attachment device according to the present invention.

8, the camera 110 includes a camera module 800 that captures an image, an input unit 805 that receives a user's command through a button or a jog dial, a power unit 815, A Bluetooth module 825 for communicating with the external Bluetooth device 850, an internal interface 820 for transmitting a power and a control command to the Bluetooth module 825, a control module 815 for controlling the functions of the Bluetooth module, An external interface 830 for transmitting and receiving audio signals to / from a speaker and a microphone 840 existing in the helmet camera attachment device, and the like.

The input unit 805 of the camera may include a plurality of buttons 310 and a jog dial 300, as shown in FIG. The control unit 810 may activate the camera module 800 or activate the Bluetooth module 825 according to the input of the input unit 805. [

For example, when the jog dial 300 is pressed, the controller 815 activates the Bluetooth module 825 so that the external Bluetooth device 850 (e.g., a smart phone including a Bluetooth function, a tablet PC, etc.) The audio signal received from the external Bluetooth device 850 is output to the speaker 840 existing in the helmet camera attachment device via the external interface 830 and the microphone 840 existing in the helmet camera attachment device The external interface 830 receives the audio signal input through the external interface 840 and transmits the audio signal to the external Bluetooth device 850. As another example, when the rotation of the jog dial 300 is sensed, the controller 815 controls the sound volume of the speaker 840 connected to the external interface 830.
