Problems solved by technology

Although most of the existing separate digital image pickup devices provide multi-angle camera devices, so that the image pickup device can change the direction of the lens and aim at the target without moving the position when the image pickup device is positioned, but there is no device to protect the lens , so you need to use a protective case when carrying it, in case the lens is damaged, it is inconvenient to carry
And the separate image pickup device fixed next to the screen often makes it impossible to cover the screen, which is inconvenient to use
[0004] In the prior art, the separate image pickup device is usually connected to a laptop computer by using a fixed-length signal connection line extending from the device. This connection line is fixed on the laptop computer in a certain way, which also causes inconvenience in use.

Abstract

An foldaway image picking up device includes following parts: (1) a camera body, a lens of imaging located on said of the camera body, (2) a joint plate connected to the camera body by first hinge set and a linking interface on side of the joint plate being used to connect to the signal of computer, (3) a protection cover connected to the joint plate by second hinge set. The camera body can be rotated relatively to the joint plate with first angle range by using first hinge set. The joint plate can be rotated relatively to the protection cover with second angle range by using second hinge set. The invented device can adjust the angle among the camera body, joint plate and protection cover, making these parts possible to be operated in different states. The invention provides features of protecting lens and easy to carry.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an image pickup device, especially a foldable image pickup device, which forms a three-link device, and the relative angles of each part of the three-link device can be adjusted to adapt to different usage states. Background technique [0002] Digital image pickup devices, such as video recorders or cameras, have gradually become one of the standard equipment of laptop computers. Its function is to directly convert images (analog video signals) into digital signals, so that images can be stored or transmitted digitally. It is now widely used In photo, slideshow and web page production and video conferencing and other occasions. [0003] Existing digital image pick-up devices for laptop computers can be divided into fixed and separate devices. Among them, the fixed type refers to the combination of the pick-up device and the laptop, which is usually located above the screen. When using it, the laptop must be adjusted to align wi...
