DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0026] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present application more clearly understood, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.
[0027] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the first aspect of the embodiment of the present application provides an anti-peeping structure 100 of a camera 210, which can shield the camera 210, thereby protecting the privacy of the user when necessary. The anti-peeping structure 100 of the camera 210 includes a support member 110, a foldable member 120 and a driving assembly 130.
[0028] The support member 110 is used to support the foldable member 120 and the driving assembly 130. The support member 110 may be in the shape of a plate, a strip, a shell, etc. The support member 110 may also be connected to an external device so that the anti-peeping structure 100 of the camera 210 is fixed to the external device through the support member 110. The material of the support member 110 may be plastic, so that the support member 110 is light in texture and easy to be processed into different shapes.
[0029] like Figure 2-3 As shown, the foldable member 120 has foldable performance. The foldable member 120 has a fixed end 121 and a movable end 122 in its own folding direction AA. The fixed end 121 is connected to the support member 110, and the movable end 122 can move along the folding direction AA, so as to achieve unfolding or folding. In this embodiment, the folding direction AA is the gravity direction, that is, the vertical direction. In other embodiments, the folding direction AA can also be any other direction set at an angle to the vertical direction, for example, the folding direction AA is a horizontal direction, a 45-degree oblique direction, or a direction at other angles, wherein the horizontal direction includes multiple directions such as the left-right direction and the front-back direction, and the 45-degree oblique direction also includes multiple directions in different directions. The specific direction of the folding direction AA is not limited here.
[0030] The foldable member 120 has a folded state and an unfolded state. Figure 4 As shown, in the folded state, the area of the foldable member 120 is relatively small, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, in the unfolded state, the area of the foldable member 120 is relatively large. It can be understood that the unfolded state and the folded state are relative, and the unfolded state is more unfolded than the folded state. For example, the state of the foldable member 120 when it is fully folded is the folded state, and the state when it is fully unfolded is the unfolded state. Alternatively, the state of the foldable member 120 when it is fully folded is the folded state, and the state when it is partially unfolded is the unfolded state. Alternatively, the state of the foldable member 120 when it is partially unfolded is the folded state, and the state when it is fully unfolded is the unfolded state. Alternatively, the state of the foldable member 120 when it is partially unfolded is the folded state, and the state when it is fully unfolded is the unfolded state. Alternatively, the state of the foldable member 120 when it is partially unfolded is the folded state, and the state when it is more unfolded is the unfolded state.
[0031] The foldable member 120 is opaque, so that the foldable member 120 can block light. In the unfolded state, the projection area of the foldable member 120 on the plane perpendicular to the light path is large, so that it is convenient to block the camera 210 to protect the user's privacy. In the folded state, the projection area of the foldable member 120 on the plane perpendicular to the light path is small, so that it is easy to store and reduce the volume of the anti-peep structure 100 of the camera 210.
[0032] The driving component 130 is movably disposed on the supporting member 110, and the driving component 130 is connected to the movable end 122. The driving component 130 can drive the movable end 122 to move along the folding direction AA, so that the foldable member 120 switches between the folded state and the unfolded state. In the unfolded state, the foldable member 120 blocks the light input path of the camera 210, so that the camera 210 cannot capture the image on the light input path, but can only capture the image of the foldable member 120. In the folded state, the foldable member 120 avoids the light input path of the camera 210, that is, the foldable member 120 does not cause the light input path of the camera 210, and the camera 210 can capture the image on the light input path.
[0033] The driving form of the driving component 130 can be electric driving, so there is no need for manual adjustment, which is more convenient when switching states, and remote control can be achieved. The driving component 130 can be a screw mechanism, an electric telescopic mechanism, etc. The driving form of the driving component 130 can be manual driving, thereby eliminating the electric driving part, so that the structure of the anti-peeping structure 100 of the camera 210 is relatively simple, the cost is low, and the probability of false triggering by manual driving is lower, and the safety is better. For example, the driving component 130 is a straight rod, one end of the straight rod is connected to the movable end 122, and the other end extends to the outside of the support member 110 for user control. The extension direction of the straight rod can be parallel to the folding direction AA, and the straight rod is inserted and pulled relative to the support member 110 in the folding direction AA to drive the movable end 122 to move. Alternatively, the extension direction of the straight rod is set at an angle to the folding direction AA, and the straight rod moves relative to the support member 110 along the folding direction AA to drive the movable end 122 to move, and a long hole for the straight rod to move needs to be opened on the support member 110.
[0034] In summary, the driving assembly 130 can drive the foldable member 120 to switch between the folded state and the unfolded state. The foldable member 120 can block the light path of the camera 210 when in the unfolded state to protect the user's privacy. The foldable member 120 can avoid the light path of the camera 210 when in the folded state, so that the user can use the camera 210 to take pictures normally. In addition, the foldable member 120 is in the folded state when avoiding the light path of the camera 210, which occupies less space than a hard shielding plate, so that the volume of the anti-peep structure 100 of the camera 210 can be relatively small.
[0035] like Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments, the foldable member 120 includes a plurality of folding portions 123 connected in sequence along the folding direction AA, and a strip fold 120a is formed at the connection between two adjacent folding portions 123. The two adjacent folding portions 123 can be folded or unfolded through the strip fold 120a, so that the foldable member 120 as a whole can be folded or unfolded along the folding direction AA. Moreover, the foldable member 120 is bent from the plurality of strip folds 120a each time it is folded, that is, the bending position is the same each time it is folded, so that the shape of the foldable member 120 after each folding is basically the same, so that the storage space of the foldable member 120 can be set relatively small without leaving a lot of margin. In this embodiment, the specific folding method of the foldable member 120 can refer to the folding methods such as folding fans and bellows.
[0036] In some embodiments, the connection between two adjacent folding portions 123 is hinged, that is, the strip fold 120a at the connection between two adjacent folding portions 123 can be replaced by a hinge, so that the connection between the two folding portions 123 does not need to be deformed, and the foldable part 120 is prevented from being damaged at the strip fold 120a due to excessive folding times, thereby improving the service life of the foldable part 120.
[0037] In some embodiments, two adjacent folding portions 123 can slide along the folding direction AA, so that the two adjacent folding portions 123 can at least partially overlap to achieve folding.
[0038] In some embodiments, the foldable member 120 is made of a flexible material, which may be fabric, silicone, flexible plastic, etc. The flexible material has good plasticity and is not easily damaged due to fatigue after being folded multiple times.
[0039] Exemplarily, the material of the folding member is fiber cloth, which is also called carbon fiber cloth. Fiber cloth is a composite material made of carbon fiber. Fiber cloth has high strength and is not easy to rot. It can still maintain good performance after being folded many times, so it has a long service life. In addition, fiber cloth is light in texture and easy to deform. When the drive component 130 drives it to fold or unfold, the resistance is small and it is easy to drive. Therefore, the drive component 130 can be set relatively small to occupy less space and reduce costs. In addition, fiber cloth is not easy to drop flocs, and the imaging effect of the camera 210 will not be affected by the dropping of flocs.
[0040] like Figure 6-7As shown, in some embodiments, the foldable member 120 is provided with a pattern 124. For example, the foldable member is printed with the pattern 124, for example, the foldable member is printed with the pattern 124 through an oil film. Or the foldable member is pasted with the pattern 124, for example, the foldable member is pasted with a plastic picture through an adhesive. Or the foldable member itself has the pattern 124, for example, the fiber cloth is sewn with colored threads of different colors, and the fiber cloth is sewn with colored threads to form the pattern 124. The pattern 124 can be, for example, a picture, a color block, text, a symbol, etc.
[0041] The pattern 124 may be disposed on the surface of the foldable member facing the camera 210 , and when the foldable member 120 is in the unfolded state, the image captured by the camera 210 is the image presented by the pattern 124 .
[0042] like Figure 6 As shown, for example, pattern 124 can be the words "Secret photography is illegal". When camera 210 is illegally started, the words "Secret photography is illegal" are shown in the picture taken by camera 210, thereby deterring the sneak photographer. For another example, pattern 124 can be a company name or company logo, etc. During the video conference, the state of foldable part 120 is switched by driving component 130, so that the picture taken by camera 210 switches between the real scene and the company name. When camera 210 is blocked, camera 210 can still display the company name. When there are many participating companies, participants can learn about the current speaking company from the company name picture presented by camera 210.
[0043] The pattern 124 can also be set on the surface of the foldable member facing away from the camera 210. When the foldable member 120 is in the unfolded state, the user can determine the open or closed state of the anti-peeping structure by observing whether there is a pattern 124 on the anti-peeping structure.
[0044] like Figure 7 As shown, for example, pattern 124 can be a color block. When the user observes the color block, it can be known that the anti-peeping structure is in a blocked state. The color of the color block can be yellow-green, and the human eye is more sensitive to yellow-green, which is convenient for the user to observe. Furthermore, the shape of the color block is circular. When the foldable member 120 is in the unfolded state, the color block is just completely presented, that is, the shape of the color block observed by the user is a complete circle; when the foldable member 120 is not fully unfolded, the color block is partially blocked, and the shape of the color block observed by the user is an incomplete circle; when the foldable member 120 is in the folded state, the color block is completely blocked, and the user cannot observe the color block. The user can judge the state of the foldable member 120 by judging the shape of the color block.
[0045] It should be noted that when the pattern 124 is printed or pasted on the foldable member 120, the material of the pattern 124 may include fluorescent powder, such as ink containing fluorescent powder or pigment containing fluorescent powder. After being irradiated by natural light, fluorescent light, ultraviolet light, etc., the fluorescent powder can store light energy, and then slowly release it in the form of fluorescence after the light irradiation stops. When the ambient light is poor, the pattern 124 has a self-luminous effect for a certain period of time, thereby improving the clarity of the pattern 124 captured by the camera 210, or facilitating the user to identify the pattern 124.
[0046] In some embodiments, a light shielding layer is provided on the foldable member 120, which can effectively block light, thereby preventing light from passing through the foldable member 120 and entering the light path of the camera 210, thereby improving the light shielding effect of the foldable member 120. The light shielding layer can be, for example, a light-proof ink layer printed on the foldable member 120, or a light shielding cloth attached to the foldable member 120.
[0047] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the driving assembly 130 includes a rotating member 131 and a transmission mechanism 132, the rotating member 131 is hinged to the support member 110, and the rotating member 131 is arranged outside a part of the support member 110, so that the user can conveniently turn the rotating member 131. The rotating member 131 can be exemplarily a knob, and an anti-skid pattern can be arranged on the outer circumference of the knob, so as to increase the friction coefficient of the outer circumference of the knob, and the user is not likely to slip when turning the knob, so that it is more labor-saving when twisting. A mark can be arranged on the side of the rotating member 131 to indicate the rotation angle of the rotating member 131. The mark can be a convex point convexly arranged on the side of the rotating member 131 or a concave point concavely arranged on the side of the rotating member 131. A graphic mark adapted to the mark can be arranged on the support member 110, so as to indicate the current state of the foldable member 120. The graphic mark can be words such as "open", "close", "ON", "OFF", etc.
[0048] The transmission mechanism 132 is connected to both the rotating member 131 and the movable end 122. The transmission mechanism 132 can convert the rotational motion of the rotating member 131 into a linear motion along the folding direction AA. When the rotating member 131 rotates, the transmission mechanism 132 can drive the movable end 122 to move along the folding direction AA. The transmission mechanism 132 can be exemplarily a crank slider mechanism.
[0049] The transmission mechanism 132 and the foldable member 120 can be arranged inside the support member 110, so that the transmission mechanism 132 and the foldable member 120 are not easily disturbed by the outside world when they move. It can be understood that the rotating member 131 is usually hinged with the support member 110 through the rotating shaft 1326, and the rotating member 131 transmits the rotational movement to the inside of the support member 110 through the rotating shaft 1326. The support member 110 needs to have a through hole 110c for the rotating shaft 1326 to pass through, and the diameter of the through hole 110c can be slightly larger than the diameter of the rotating shaft 1326, so as to ensure the stability of the rotating shaft 1326 when rotating. Since the gap between the rotating shaft 1326 and the hole wall of the through hole 110c is small, the sealing performance of the support member 110 is relatively good, which can prevent dust and other debris from entering the inside of the support member 110 as much as possible, thereby ensuring the clarity of the picture taken by the camera 210. Furthermore, a sealing ring can be arranged between the rotating shaft 1326 and the wall of the through hole 110c, which can not only further improve the sealing performance of the support member 110, but also increase the rotation damping of the rotating member 131, so that the foldable member 120 can be better maintained in the current state when there is no external force.
[0050] In some alternative embodiments, the rotating member 131 is a motor, and the motor is controlled to rotate, thereby driving the movable end 122 to move along the folding direction AA, saving manpower. Moreover, when the position of the anti-peeping structure 100 of the camera 210 is not convenient to adjust, for example, the anti-peeping structure 100 of the camera 210 is set at a high height and difficult for the user to reach, it is more convenient for the transmission mechanism 132 to be electric. Since the rotating member 131 does not need to be manually adjusted, the rotating member 131 can be set inside the support member 110 to avoid external interference.
[0051] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the transmission mechanism 132 includes a gear 1321 and a sliding member 1322, the gear 1321 is connected to the rotating member 131 and rotates with the rotating member 131, for example, the gear 1321 is connected to the rotating member 131 through a rotating shaft 1326, and the gear 1321 rotates synchronously with the rotating member 131. The gear 1321 and the rotating shaft 1326 can be fixed by a retaining spring 1327 to prevent the gear 1321 from falling off the rotating shaft 1326.
[0052] The sliding member 1322 includes a rack portion 1323 and a slider portion 1324 connected to the rack portion 1323. The rack portion 1323 meshes with the gear 1321. When the gear 1321 rotates, the rack portion 1323 performs linear motion, the rack portion 1323 drives the slider portion 1324 to perform linear motion, and the slider portion 1324 drives the movable end 122 to move. By changing the diameter of the gear 1321, the relationship between the rotation angle of the rotating member 131 and the distance moved by the sliding member 1322 can be adjusted. For example, the diameter of the gear 1321 can be set so that when the rotating member 131 rotates half a circle, the folding member can be switched from the folded state to the unfolded state, thereby meeting the adjustment habits of most people.
[0053] The support member 110 is provided with a slide groove 111 extending along the folding direction AA, and the slider portion 1324 cooperates with the slide groove 111. The slide groove 111 limits the slider portion 1324 to slide only along the folding direction AA, so that the direction of the slider 1322 is more accurate and the sliding is more stable when sliding. Lubricating grease can be provided in the slide groove 111 to prevent the slider portion 1324 from getting stuck when sliding. At the same time, the lubricating grease can also provide a certain movement resistance, so that the foldable member 120 can better maintain the current state when there is no external force.
[0054] like Figure 3-5 As shown, in some embodiments, the transmission mechanism 132 further includes a connecting member 1325, and the connecting member 1325 is connected to both the movable end 122 and the sliding member 1322. When the material of the foldable member 120 is a flexible material such as fiber cloth, the foldable member 120 itself is prone to deformation, and it is difficult to fully unfold it only by relying on its own structural strength. The connecting member 1325 can open the movable end 122 in a direction that is angled with the folding direction AA, so that the foldable member 120 can more fully block the light path of the camera 210. Exemplarily, the shape of the foldable member 120 is a rod, so as to reduce its own weight as much as possible on the basis of being able to open the foldable member 120. The extension direction of the foldable member 120 can be set perpendicular to the folding direction AA, so as to shorten its own length. It can be understood that the fixed end 121 can also be provided with a connecting member 1325, so that the fixed end 121 can be unfolded in a direction that is angled with the folding direction AA. Alternatively, the fixed end 121 is fixedly connected to the support member 110 in the unfolded state, so that the fixed end 121 remains in the unfolded state.
[0055] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, there are two sliding members 1322, and the two sliding members 1322 are respectively arranged on both sides of the support member 110, and the two sliding members 1322 are respectively connected to the two ends of the connecting member 1325. The two sliding members 1322 can provide better support for the connecting member 1325, so that the connecting member 1325 is more stable when moving.
[0056] The number of gears 1321 can be single, and the gear 1321 is meshed with the rack portion 1323 of one of the sliding members 1322. Exemplarily, the rotating member 131 and the gear 1321 are arranged on the same side of the support member 110 to reduce the length of the rotating shaft 1326. Specifically, the rotating member 131 and the gear 1321 are both arranged on the left side of the support member 110, or both are arranged on the right side of the support member 110, and can be flexibly arranged according to needs. For example, when the anti-peep structure 100 of the camera 210 is installed on the left side of the tablet conference, the rotating member 131 is preferably arranged on the left side of the support member 110; when the anti-peep structure 100 of the camera 210 is installed on the right side of the tablet conference, the rotating member 131 is preferably arranged on the right side of the support member 110. It should be noted that the rotating member 131 can also be set on the top of the supporting member 110, so that the sliding member 1322 moves in the horizontal direction. At this time, the folding direction AA is the horizontal direction. In this way, the sliding member 1322 will not move under the action of gravity and can better maintain the current state.
[0057] The number of gears 1321 can be two, and the two gears 1321 are respectively engaged with the rack portions 1323 of the two sliding members 1322, and the two gears 1321 rotate synchronously with the rotating member 131. The two gears 1321 drive the two sliding members 1322 to move synchronously, thereby avoiding uneven force on both ends of the connecting member 1325.
[0058] In some embodiments, the number of the sliding members 1322 and the foldable member 120 are both two, and the two sliding members 1322 are arranged on both sides of the gear 1321 in the radial direction. The two sides of the gear 1321 are respectively meshed with the rack parts 1323 of the two sliding members 1322. When the gear 1321 rotates, the two sliding members 1322 move toward each other, that is, the two sliding members 1322 approach each other or move away from each other. In this way, when the ends of the two foldable members 120 that are close to each other are pieced together along the folding direction AA, the light path of the camera 210 can be blocked, so that the rotation stroke of the rotating member 131 can be shortened. Alternatively, the rotation stroke of the rotating member 131 remains unchanged, but the two foldable members 120 can achieve double shielding, thereby improving the shielding effect.
[0059] like Figure 8-9As shown, the second aspect of the embodiment of the present application provides a camera device 200, which can be applied to electronic devices such as televisions and conference tablets. The camera device 200 includes an anti-peep structure 100 of a camera 210 and a camera 210. The support member 110 can also be used to support the camera 210. For example, the support member 110 is a shell of the camera device 200, and the shell has a light-collecting hole 110a. The camera 210 is arranged in the shell, and the light-collecting path of the camera 210 passes through the light-collecting hole 110a. When the foldable member 120 is in the unfolded state, the foldable member 120 is arranged between the light-collecting hole 110a and the camera 210, thereby blocking the light outside the shell from entering the light-collecting path of the camera 210 through the light-collecting hole 110a to protect the privacy of the user.
[0060] like Fig. 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the housing includes a front shell 112, a rear shell 114 and a light-transmitting member 113, and the front shell 112 has a light-collecting hole 110a.
[0061] The rear shell 114 is detachably connected to the front shell 112, so that the foldable member 120 and the transmission mechanism 132 can be assembled inside the shell. The rear shell 114 and the front shell 112 can be connected by a buckle, which makes assembly more convenient, and the buckle can be integrally formed with the front shell 112 or the rear shell 114, which is more convenient during manufacturing. The rear shell 114 and the front shell 112 are surrounded by a receiving cavity 110b, and the light hole 110a is connected to the receiving cavity 110b. The foldable member 120 and the camera 210 are arranged in the receiving cavity 110b, and the driving assembly 130 is at least partially located in the receiving cavity 110b. It can be understood that the camera 210 has a cable, and a cable hole 100d can be provided on the rear shell 114 for the cable to pass through.
[0062] The light-transmitting member 113 is disposed on the front shell 112 and covers the light-collecting hole 110 a . The light-transmitting member 113 can improve the sealing performance of the housing to enhance the dust-proof effect of the housing.
