Abstract

The disclosure relates to a trigger with a charging effect in the field of triggers, which includes an enclosure and a circuit board, wherein the battery is connected to the circuit board. According to the trigger with the charging effect, the battery is arranged in the enclosure, so that the trigger can be used normally while having a triggering function; and meanwhile, the battery supplies power to the camera to achieve a charging function of the trigger, thereby avoiding the situation that a power supply needs to be installed additionally to supply power to the trigger and the camera when the trigger is used, thereby providing convenience for the user, and improving the user's sense of experience.

Claims (10)

1. A trigger with a charging effect, comprising an enclosure and a circuit board ( 1 ), wherein the circuit board ( 1 ) is arranged inside the enclosure; a top surface of the enclosure is provided with a transmission port ( 2 ) used for transmitting signals; a side surface of the enclosure is provided with an interface ( 4 ); one ends of the transmission port ( 2 ) and the interface ( 4 ) extend into the enclosure and are connected to the circuit board ( 1 ); and a battery ( 7 ) is arranged inside the enclosure, and connected to the circuit board ( 1 ), wherein the interface ( 4 ) is configurable to be electrically connected to an external power supply or a camera; in response to the interface ( 4 ) be electrically connected to the external power supply, the trigger is charged by the external power supply; and in response to the interface ( 4 ) be electrically connected to the camera and a triggering signal being received, the circuit board ( 1 ) is triggered to supply power to the camera through the interface ( 4 );

wherein the triggering signal is received from a hot shoe of the camera.

2. The trigger with the charging effect according to claim 1 , wherein the side surface of the enclosure is provided with a switch and an indicator window, and one ends of the switch and the indicator window extend into the enclosure and are connected to the circuit board.

3. The trigger with the charging effect according to claim 1 , wherein the side surface of the enclosure is provided with a waterproof jacket for waterproofing the interface, and provided with an opening; the interface is formed inside the opening; and one end of the waterproof jacket penetrates into the opening, and the other end of the waterproof jacket covers the opening.

4. The trigger with the charging effect according to claim 3 , wherein the enclosure comprises an upper housing and a lower housing, and the upper housing and the lower housing are connected through a fastener.

5. The trigger with the charging effect according to claim 4 , wherein the upper housing is provided with a clamping slot, and the lower housing is provided with a clamping strip for matching with the clamping slot.

6. The trigger with the charging effect according to claim 5 , wherein a side surface of the lower housing is provided with a fixed block, and a gap is left between the fixed block and the lower housing.

7. The trigger with the charging effect according to claim 3 , wherein a model of the interface is TYPE-C.

8. The trigger with the charging effect according to claim 1 , wherein the enclosure comprises an upper housing and a lower housing, and the upper housing and the lower housing are connected through a fastener.

9. The trigger with the charging effect according to claim 1 , wherein a model of the interface is TYPE-C.
