Abstract

A vehicle travelling data recording device includes a digital video recorder, a vehicle travelling speed recorder, a vehicle travelling condition recorder and a removable hard disk drive. Synchronously recording the vehicle travelling condition, the vehicle travelling speed and the signal structure and operation condition can achieve the object of reducing the vehicle travelling strife.

Claims

1. A vehicle travelling data recording device powered by a battery of a vehicle, the device comprising a digital video recorder, a vehicle travelling speed recorder, a vehicle travelling condition recorder and a removable hard disk drive, wherein:

the vehicle travelling speed recorder is synchronously connected to an odometer of the vehicle, and synchronously enables the digital video recorder to record frames inside and outside the travelling vehicle and records a travelling speed of the vehicle as the vehicle starts to run;

the vehicle travelling condition recorder is synchronously connected to the digital video recorder and each signal structure of the vehicle, and completely records a vehicle travelling condition, comprising a condition of a direction indicator, a brake lamp, a reversing light or a stop bell; and

the removable hard disk drive stores the recorded frames and the recorded vehicle travelling condition, which are provided by the digital video recorder, the vehicle travelling speed recorder and the vehicle travelling condition recorder.

2. The device according to claim 1, further comprising an ultra-large range power supply for supplying a stable voltage ranging from 8 to 32 volts to prevent a voltage drop, which is produced by an instantaneously large current for starting the vehicle or an assembly of the vehicle, from damaging electronic elements of the vehicle travelling data recording device.

3. The device according to claim 1, wherein:

the removable hard disk drive comprises a removable box and a hard disk drive, and the removable box is composed of a body and an upper cover;

a hollow mounting seat is disposed in the removable box body, and the hard disk drive is fixed in an inner periphery space of the removable box body;

the mounting seat and the hard disk drive are filled into an opening of an inert sponge ring;

a combination of the mounting seat, the hard disk drive and the inert sponge ring is placed into the inner periphery space of the removable box; and

the inert sponge ring having a slow bounce property effectively absorbs an external force to prevent the removable hard disk drive from vibration.
