Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an image capturing device, and more particularly to a shielding member for an image capturing device. [Previous Technology]

[0002] With the development of communication technology, the demand for image capture is increasing. As a result, various image capture devices or electronic products with image capture capabilities have appeared on the market. Examples include webcams, dashcams, tablets, laptops, and all-in-one PCs.

[0003] As users of electronic products are paying more and more attention to network security and privacy, image capturing devices with shutters have appeared on the market. The shutter is placed next to the lens and can be moved to the lens to block the lens's field of view, thereby preventing being secretly filmed due to hacking.

[0004] For image capturing devices with night vision capabilities, it is necessary to increase the width of the shielding element or add another shielding element to simultaneously shield or expose the main lens and the infrared camera (IR camera). However, even with a design using two shielding elements, both shielding elements are used simultaneously. Therefore, a longer travel distance (or space) must be reserved for the aforementioned wider shielding element or the movement of two shielding elements, thereby increasing the size of the image capturing device, which necessitates improvement. [Summary of the Invention]

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned problems, the main objective of the present invention is to provide an image capturing device that solves the problem of increased size of the image capturing device caused by the simultaneous covering of the main lens and the infrared camera lens in conventional image capturing devices through a novel design of a main shielding member and a sub-shielding member.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides an image capturing device, comprising a housing, a main shielding member, and a sub-shielding member. The housing includes a first light-transmitting portion and a second light-transmitting portion. The main shielding member is movably disposed on the housing and moves along a moving direction between a first position and a second position. The main shielding member includes a first shielding portion, a first pushing portion, and a second pushing portion. The sub-shielding member includes an abutting portion and a second shielding portion. The abutting portion is movably disposed between the first pushing portion and the second pushing portion. The abutting portion includes a first abutting surface and a second abutting surface. The second shielding portion is connected to the abutting portion. When the main shielding member is in the first position, the first pushing portion abuts against the first abutting surface, the main shielding member shields the first light-transmitting portion, and the sub-shielding member shields the second light-transmitting portion. After the main shielding member moves a predetermined distance from the first position, the second pushing part abuts against the second abutting surface and drives the sub-shielding member to move together. When the main shielding member moves to the second position, both the first light-transmitting part and the second light-transmitting part are exposed.

[0007] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the predetermined distance is the difference between a distance between the first pushing part and the second pushing part and a width of the abutting part.

[0008] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the image capturing device further includes a main lens and an infrared photographic lens. A first light-transmitting portion covers a field of view of the main lens. A second light-transmitting portion covers a field of view of the infrared photographic lens.

[0009] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the predetermined distance is greater than the difference between an inner diameter of the first light-transmitting portion and an inner diameter of the second light-transmitting portion.

[0010] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a shortest distance between the first light-transmitting portion and the second light-transmitting portion is greater than or equal to an inner diameter of the second light-transmitting portion.

[0011] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a distance between the first pushing part and the second pushing part is greater than or equal to an inner diameter of the first light-transmitting part.

[0012] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the main shielding member further includes an operating part and a body part. The operating part is disposed on the body part. The first shielding part extends from one side of the body part, and there is an included angle between the first shielding part and the body part.

[0013] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the main shielding member further includes a first fixing part connected to one end of the first shielding part opposite to the body part. The body part and the first fixing part abut against an inner sidewall of the housing.

[0014] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the main shielding member further includes a sliding groove, which is located on one side wall of the main body portion. The sliding groove is disposed adjacent to the first shielding portion and arranged parallel to the moving direction.

[0015] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the first pushing part and the second pushing part are located on opposite sides of the slide groove, and the abutting part is movably disposed in the slide groove.

[0016] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the housing further includes a slide rail located on an inner sidewall of the housing and parallel to the slide groove. The abutment portion further includes a fixing groove sleeved on the slide rail.

[0017] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the sub-shielding member further includes a second fixing portion connected to one end of the second shielding portion opposite to the abutting portion. The second fixing portion abuts against an inner sidewall of the housing.

[0018] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the sub-shielding member further includes an inclined portion. The two opposite ends of the inclined portion are respectively connected to the abutment portion and the second shielding portion, and the inclined portion is inclined in a direction away from the first light-transmitting portion and towards the second light-transmitting portion.

[0019] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the main shielding member further includes a limiting recess, and a portion of the abutting portion is accommodated in the limiting recess.

[0020] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the movement direction of the main shielding member is parallel to one of the major axes of the housing.

[0021] As described above, the image capturing device according to the present invention includes a housing, a main shielding member, and a sub-shielding member. The main shielding member is movably disposed in the housing. The main shielding member includes a first shielding portion, a first pushing portion, and a second pushing portion. The sub-shielding member includes an abutting portion and a second shielding portion. The abutting portion is movably disposed between the first pushing portion and the second pushing portion. That is, the width of the abutting portion is smaller than the distance between the first pushing portion and the second pushing portion, so that the abutting portion can move between them. When the main shielding member is in a first position, the main shielding member and the sub-shielding member respectively shield a first light-transmitting portion and a second light-transmitting portion of the housing. After the main shielding member moves a predetermined distance from the first position, the main shielding member then drives the sub-shielding member to move together. When the main shielding member moves to a second position, both the first light-transmitting portion and the second light-transmitting portion are exposed. By designing that the contact part can move between the first and second pushing parts (i.e., a predetermined distance), the movement strokes of the main shielding member and the sub-shielding member overlap, thereby allowing the main shielding member, the sub-shielding member, the main lens, and the infrared camera lens to be closely arranged, achieving the effect of saving space and reducing the size of the image capturing device.

Implementation Method

[0022] In order to better understand the technical content of the present invention, preferred embodiments are described below.

[0023] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of an image capturing device according to one embodiment of the present invention; Figure 2 is an exploded view of the main shielding member and the sub-shielding member shown in Figure 1; Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view of the image capturing device shown in Figure 1 along line AA; Figure 4 is a front view of the image capturing device shown in Figure 1; Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of the main shielding member and the sub-shielding member shown in Figure 1 after they have been moved; Figure 6 is a front view of the image capturing device shown in Figure 5. The following description should be taken in conjunction with the aforementioned figures. First, the image capturing device 1 in this embodiment is an example of a webcam with night vision capabilities. In other embodiments, the image capturing device 1 can also be an image capturing device 1 used in electronic products such as dashcams, tablet computers, laptops, or all-in-one PCs. In this embodiment, the image capturing device 1 includes a housing 10, a main shielding member 20, a sub-shielding member 30, a main lens 40, and an infrared camera lens 50. The housing 10 includes a first light-transmitting portion 11 and a second light-transmitting portion 12 (refer to Figures 5 and 6, which are not obscured), located on the front side of the housing 10. It should be noted that, except for Figure 3, the housing 10 and its first and second light-transmitting portions 11 and 12 are indicated by dashed lines. Furthermore, the first and second light-transmitting portions 11 and 12 are respectively holes corresponding to the main lens 40 and the infrared imaging lens 50, and are preferably circular holes. Generally, the inner diameter of the first and second light-transmitting portions 11 and 12 is designed according to the field of view (FOV) of the corresponding lenses. For example, the inner diameter of the first light-transmitting portion 11 is designed based on the field of view of the main lens 40 on the front side of the housing 10, and the inner diameter of the second light-transmitting portion 12 is designed based on the field of view of the infrared imaging lens 50 on the front side of the housing 10. Therefore, the inner diameter of the first light-transmitting part 11 can cover the field of view of the main lens 40, while the inner diameter of the second light-transmitting part 12 covers the field of view of the infrared camera lens 50.

[0024] In this embodiment, the main shielding member 20 is movably disposed on the housing 10 and moves between a first position and a second position. The main shielding member 20 shown in Figures 1 and 4 is disposed in the first position, while the main shielding member 20 shown in Figures 5 and 6 is located in the second position. Specifically, the main shielding member 20 includes an operating part 21, a first shielding part 22, and a sliding groove 23. The first shielding part 22 is connected to the operating part 21. The operating part 21 can receive an operation to move the main shielding member 20 back and forth between the first position and the second position along a moving direction D. The sliding groove 23 is arranged parallel to the moving direction D. In this embodiment, the moving direction D of the main shielding member 20 is parallel to the arrangement direction of the first light-transmitting part 11 and the second light-transmitting part 12. In other words, the main shielding member 20 and the sub-shielding member 30 of this embodiment can move back and forth along the moving direction D of the housing 10 to shield or expose the first light-transmitting part 11 and the second light-transmitting part 12.

[0025] Preferably, the main shielding member 20 of this embodiment further includes a body portion 24, and an operating portion 21 is disposed on the body portion 24. In this embodiment, the body portion 24 is a protrusion, and the operating portion 21 is disposed on the upper surface of the body portion 24. Correspondingly, the housing 10 preferably also has a limiting groove 13, located on the upper side of the housing 10, as shown in Figures 1, 3, and 5. Furthermore, the limiting groove 13 is also parallel to the movement direction D. The operating portion 21 passes through the limiting groove 13 and protrudes from the upper surface of the housing 10, allowing the user to move the operating portion 21 from the outside of the housing 10.

[0026] The first shielding portion 22 is used to shield or expose the first light-transmitting portion 11. Therefore, corresponding to the front side of the housing 10, preferably, the first shielding portion 22 can be a circular or arc-shaped plate similar in appearance to the main lens 40, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the first shielding portion 22 extends from one side of the body portion 24, and there is an included angle between the first shielding portion 22 and the body portion 24. Specifically, as shown in FIG2, the side of the first shielding portion 22 facing the body portion 24 also has a beveled portion 221. The beveled portion 221 connects to the side of the body portion 24 facing the first light-transmitting portion 11, so that the first shielding portion 22 extends outward and downward from one side of the body portion 24. In order to save the space occupied by the main shielding member 20 in the housing 10, the first shielding portion 22 is preferably close to perpendicular to the body portion 24. Since the first shielding part 22 is connected to the operating part 21 via the main body part 24, when the user moves the operating part 21 in the limiting groove 13, the first shielding part 22 is also moved at the same time.

[0027] Preferably, the main shielding member 20 of this embodiment further includes a first fixing part 25, connected to the other end of the first shielding part 22 relative to the body part 24. Furthermore, the body part 24 and the first fixing part 25 together abut against an inner sidewall 14 of the housing 10, as shown in FIG. 1, thereby fixing the first shielding part 22 to the front side of the housing 10. Specifically, in this embodiment, the two opposite ends of the first shielding part 22 are the body part 24 and the first fixing part 25, respectively. Furthermore, the body part 24 and the first fixing part 25 are recessed inward relative to the first shielding part 22, so that the body part 24 and the first fixing part 25 can respectively abut against the inner sidewall 14 of the front side of the housing 10. Please refer to Figures 1, 2, and 3 simultaneously. For example, one corner 241 of the main body 24 near the first shielding part 22 and the inclined part 221 of the first shielding part 22 abut against the inner wall 14 above the first light-transmitting part 11, while the two corners 222 below the first shielding part 22 and the first fixing part 25 are together mounted on the inner wall 14 below the first light-transmitting part 11. At this time, the first shielding part 22 is located on the outside of the housing 10 to shield the first light-transmitting part 11.

[0028] Please refer to Figures 1, 2, and 4. In this embodiment, the slide groove 23 is located on the side wall of the main body 24, and the slide groove 23 is disposed adjacent to the first shielding part 22. Specifically, the slide groove 23 is formed by recessing the side wall of the main body 24 facing the front (i.e., the side facing the first light-transmitting part 11 and the second light-transmitting part 12), and the slide groove 23 is adjacent to the first shielding part 22. In this embodiment, the slide groove 23 includes a first pushing part 231 and a second pushing part 232 that are opposite to each other. Taking Figure 2 as an example, the first pushing part 231 and the second pushing part 232 are the inner side walls of the right and left sides of the slide groove 23. The first pushing part 231 and the second pushing part 232 of the slide groove 23 are used to drive the sub-shielding member 30 to move.

[0029] The sub-shielding member 30 of this embodiment includes an abutting portion 31 and a second shielding portion 32. The abutting portion 31 is movably disposed within the slide groove 23. In other words, the width of the abutting portion 31 is less than the length of the slide groove 23, allowing the abutting portion 31 to move within the slide groove 23. The second shielding portion 32 can be directly or indirectly connected to the abutting portion 31, used to shield or expose the second light-transmitting portion 12. Preferably, the sub-shielding member 30 of this embodiment also includes an inclined portion 33. In this embodiment, the second shielding portion 32 is connected to the abutting portion 31 via the inclined portion 33, thus indirectly connecting the second shielding portion 32 to the abutting portion 31. Specifically, the two opposite ends of the inclined portion 33 are respectively connected to the abutting portion 31 and the second shielding portion 32, and the inclined portion 33 is inclined in a direction away from the first light-transmitting portion 11 and towards the second light-transmitting portion 12. Taking Figure 4 as an example, the inclined portion 33 is inclined to the left and downward from the abutment portion 31, and the second shielding portion 32 is connected to the end of the inclined portion 33 opposite to the abutment portion 31. Furthermore, the structure of the inclined portion 33 allows the sub-shielding member 30 to conform to the appearance of the main lens 40 and the first light-transmitting portion 11. In other embodiments, the second shielding portion 32 can also be directly connected to the abutment portion 31; this invention is not limited thereto. When the main shielding member 20 moves to the second position, it moves the sub-shielding member 30 to the open position exposing the second light-transmitting portion 12 (refer to Figures 5 and 6). At this time, the sub-shielding member 30 is positioned around the main lens 40 and the first light-transmitting portion 11, achieving the effect of saving configuration space.

[0030] In this embodiment, the sub-shielding member 30 is disposed between the housing 10 and the main shielding member 20. As mentioned above, the abutting portion 31 is movably disposed within the slide groove 23. As shown in FIG3, the housing 10 in this embodiment also includes a slide rail 15, which is located on the inner sidewall 14 of the front side of the housing 10. Furthermore, the slide rail 15 and the slide groove 23 are parallel to each other, that is, parallel to the direction of movement D. Correspondingly, the abutting portion 31 of the sub-shielding member 30 also includes a fixing groove 313, which is located on the side of the abutting portion 31 facing away from the slide groove 23. That is, the fixing groove 313 faces the inner sidewall 14 of the housing 10, so that the fixing groove 313 can be fitted onto the slide rail 15, as shown in FIG3. At the same time, the fixing groove 313 is clamped by the slide rail 15 and the slide groove 23. As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the fixing groove 313 extends rearward from the upper end of the abutment portion 31, so that the fixing groove 313 is recessed inward relative to the abutment portion 31 and the second shielding portion 32. When the fixing groove 313 is fitted onto the slide rail 15, the second shielding portion 32 can be located on the outside of the housing 10 to shield the second light-transmitting portion 12.

[0031] Preferably, the sub-shielding member 30 of this embodiment further includes a second fixing part 34. The second fixing part 34 is connected to the end of the second shielding part 32 opposite to the abutting part 31. That is, the second fixing part 34 is located at the lower end of the second shielding part 32. Similarly, the second fixing part 34 is recessed inward relative to the second shielding part 32, so that the second fixing part 34 can abut against the inner sidewall 14 of the housing 10.

[0032] In this embodiment, after the abutting part 31 is disposed in the slide groove 23, the remaining distance (or length) is referred to as a predetermined distance d, as shown in Figure 4. In other words, the predetermined distance d is the difference between the length L of the slide groove 23 and the width W of the abutting part 31. The length of the slide groove 23 and the width W of the abutting part 31 are shown in Figure 2. The length L of the slide groove 23 refers to the distance between the first abutting part 231 and the second abutting part 232. Furthermore, the abutting part 31 in this embodiment includes a first abutting surface 311 and a second abutting surface 312. The width W of the abutting part 31 refers to the distance between the first abutting surface 311 and the second abutting surface 312, as shown in Figure 2.

[0033] Furthermore, the predetermined distance d is also the empty travel distance of the sub-masking member 30 before it is pushed by the main masking member 20. Specifically, when the main masking member 20 is in the first position, the first abutting surface 311 of the abutting part 31 abuts against the first pushing part 231 of the slide groove 23, as shown in Figures 1 and 4. At this time, the first masking part 22 of the main masking member 20 masks the first light-transmitting part 11, and the second masking part 32 of the sub-masking member 30 masks the second light-transmitting part 12. When the main lens 40 and the infrared camera lens 50 need to be used, the user can move the operating part 21 of the main masking member 20 along the moving direction D. Taking Figure 4 as an example, the operating part 21 is moved to the right. The slide 23, together with the main shielding member 20, moves to the right until the second pushing part 232 contacts the second abutting surface 312 of the sub-shielding member 30. The force exerted by the user on the operating part 21 is applied to the second abutting surface 312 through the second pushing part 232, thereby causing the sub-shielding member 30 to move to the right. In other words, after the main shielding member 20 moves a predetermined distance d from the first position, the second pushing part 232 of the slide 23 abuts against the second abutting surface 312 of the abutting part 31, thus causing the sub-shielding member 30 to move together. When the main shielding member 20 moves to the second position, the sub-shielding member 30 is also moved to the open position exposing the second light-transmitting part 12, so that both the first light-transmitting part 11 and the second light-transmitting part 12 are exposed simultaneously, as shown in Figures 5 and 6. Therefore, the predetermined distance d is referred to as the idle stroke. By designing the empty travel (i.e., the predetermined distance d), the travel of the main shielding member 20 and the sub-shielding member 30 overlaps, thereby allowing the main shielding member 20, the sub-shielding member 30, the main lens 40 and the infrared camera lens 50 to be closely arranged, so as to save space and reduce the size of the image capturing device.

[0034] Preferably, in this embodiment, the predetermined distance d is greater than the difference between the inner diameter of the first light-transmitting part 11 and the inner diameter of the second light-transmitting part 12. For example, the inner diameter of the first light-transmitting part 11 is 20 mm (i.e., the field of view of the main lens 40 on the front side of the housing 10), and the inner diameter of the second light-transmitting part 12 is 5 mm (i.e., the field of view of the infrared camera lens 50 on the front side of the housing 10), with a difference of 15 mm, and the predetermined distance d can be greater than 15 mm. Preferably, the predetermined distance d can be slightly greater than the aforementioned difference (e.g., 15 mm), so that when the main shielding member 20 moves to the second position, the sub-shielding member 30 also moves to the open position exposing the second light-transmitting part 12 almost simultaneously, thereby achieving the effect of saving configuration space.

[0035] Preferably, the distance between the first pushing part 231 and the second pushing part 232 is greater than or equal to the inner diameter of the first light-transmitting part 11. That is, the length L of the groove 23 (refer to FIG. 2) is greater than or equal to the inner diameter of the first light-transmitting part 11, for example, greater than or equal to 20 mm. Preferably, the shortest distance sd (i.e., vertical distance) between the first light-transmitting part 11 and the second light-transmitting part 12 in this embodiment is greater than or equal to the inner diameter of the second light-transmitting part 12, for example, greater than or equal to 5 mm. By limiting the aforementioned dimensions, the effect of saving configuration space and reducing the size of the image capturing device is achieved.

[0036] As shown in Figures 5 and 6, when the main shielding member 20 is in the second position and the sub-shielding member 30 is in the open position, the second pushing part 232 of the slide 23 abuts against the second abutting surface 312 of the abutting part 31. When the main lens 40 and the infrared camera lens 50 are closed, the user can move the operating part 21 of the main shielding member 20 in the opposite direction of movement D. Taking Figure 4 as an example, the operating part 21 is moved to the left. After the main shielding member 20 moves a predetermined distance d from the second position, the first pushing part 231 of the slide 23 abuts against the first abutting surface 311 of the abutting part 31, thus driving the sub-shielding member 30 to move together. When the main shielding member 20 moves to the first position, the sub-shielding member 30 is also driven to move to the closed position of shielding the second light-transmitting part 12, thereby shielding both the first light-transmitting part 11 and the second light-transmitting part 12 at the same time, as shown in Figures 1 and 4.

[0037] Preferably, the main shielding member 20 of this embodiment further includes a limiting recess 26, which is close to the first pushing portion 231 of the slide groove 23. When the first pushing portion 231 of the slide groove 23 abuts against the first abutting surface 311 of the abutting portion 31, a portion of the abutting portion 31 is accommodated in the limiting recess 26. The limiting recess 26 can fix the relative position of the main shielding member 20 and the sub-shielding member 30, thereby assisting the main shielding member 20 in pushing the sub-shielding member 30 to the first position. Preferably, the limiting recess 26 is a right-angled recess, and correspondingly, the abutting portion 31 also has a right-angled structure on the first abutting surface 311. Therefore, when the first pushing portion 231 of the slide groove 23 moves to the first abutting surface 311 of the abutting portion 31, the limiting recess 26 can be directly aligned with the first abutting surface 311, so that the right-angled portion of the abutting portion 31 can be directly accommodated in the limiting recess 26.

[0038] In summary, the image capturing device according to the present invention includes a housing, a main shielding member, and a sub-shielding member. The main shielding member is movably disposed in the housing. The main shielding member includes a first shielding portion, a first pushing portion, and a second pushing portion. The sub-shielding member includes an abutting portion and a second shielding portion. The abutting portion is movably disposed between the first pushing portion and the second pushing portion. That is, the width of the abutting portion is smaller than the distance between the first pushing portion and the second pushing portion, so that the abutting portion can move between them. When the main shielding member is in a first position, the main shielding member and the sub-shielding member respectively shield a first light-transmitting portion and a second light-transmitting portion of the housing. After the main shielding member moves a predetermined distance from the first position, the main shielding member then drives the sub-shielding member to move together. When the main shielding member moves to a second position, both the first light-transmitting portion and the second light-transmitting portion are exposed. By designing that the contact part can move between the first and second pushing parts (i.e., a predetermined distance), the movement strokes of the main shielding member and the sub-shielding member overlap, thereby allowing the main shielding member, the sub-shielding member, the main lens, and the infrared camera lens to be closely arranged, achieving the effect of saving space and reducing the size of the image capturing device.

[0039] It should be noted that the above embodiments are examples for ease of explanation, and the scope of the claims made by the present invention should be determined by the claims of the patent application, and not limited to the above embodiments. [Simplified Explanation of the Diagram]
