Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of camera safety, and in particular to a camera privacy cover and a camera. Background Art

[0002] Cameras are often used in video conferencing. In some special meeting scenarios, in order to prevent privacy leakage, it is necessary to physically turn off the camera's recording function. Generally, an opaque camera privacy cover is used on the front side of the camera to cover the camera.

[0003] Usually, a lifting privacy cover with a gear rack drive is used to cover the camera. The gear rack drive camera privacy cover consists of a stepper motor, a motor transmission module composed of a single or multi-stage gear set, a rack that converts the rotational motion of the gear into linear motion, and a privacy cover. When the motor rotates, the gear rotates with the motor shaft, and the meshing rack moves with the gear. Since the privacy cover is rigidly connected to the rack, it can be regarded as a part of the rack. Then the motion state of the privacy cover is the motion state of the rack. The rack moves linearly with the rotation of the motor, and the privacy cover also moves linearly. The motor can generally rotate forward and reverse, and the opening and closing of the privacy cover can be realized by controlling the forward and reverse rotation of the motor. The above is the principle of motion. In the actual solution, it is necessary to match the relevant control circuit and software, such as photoelectric switches, PCB boards, etc. to realize the function and precise start and stop of the privacy cover.

[0004] Since the privacy cover is screwed together with gears, racks and other moving components, the movement of the privacy cover is actually a continuation of the rack movement. Since the rotation of the stepper motor is discontinuous when it is slowed down, and there is also a clearance between the rack and the gear assembly, the friction during the sliding process will cause the rack to jitter and cause the privacy cover to jam during opening and closing. Summary of the invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to solve the problem of jamming that occurs during the opening and closing process of the privacy cover.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a camera privacy cover and a camera, wherein the camera privacy cover comprises: a shell, the shell is provided with a camera hole and a accommodating cavity; a lifting mechanism, the lifting mechanism is arranged in the accommodating cavity; a first part of a magnetic component, the first part of the magnetic component is arranged on the lifting mechanism, the first part of the magnetic component is located between the lifting mechanism and the inner wall of the shell, and the lifting mechanism can change the height of the first part of the magnetic component; a shielding cover, the inner wall of the shielding cover is fixedly provided with a second part of the magnetic component adsorbed with the first part of the magnetic component, the shielding cover is slidably arranged on the outer wall of the shell, and the shielding cover slides along the shell according to the lifting and lowering of the first part of the magnetic component to cover the camera hole or avoid the camera hole.

[0007] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism includes a motor, a bracket and a rack, the motor is arranged in the accommodating cavity, the rack is arranged on the bracket, the rack is engaged with the motor, the bracket is slidably arranged on the shell, the bracket is provided with a mounting groove, and the first part of the magnetic component is arranged on the mounting groove.

[0008] Furthermore, the bracket includes a first frame plate and multiple second frame plates, the multiple second frame plates are vertically arranged on the first frame plate, the second frame plates are slidably connected to the inner wall of the shell, the mounting groove is arranged on the side of the second frame plate close to the shell, and the rack is arranged on the first frame plate.

[0009] Furthermore, the first frame plate is an annular frame plate, the second frame plate is a strip-shaped frame plate, and the rack is arranged on the inner annular surface of the first frame plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the shell is provided with a guide column and a guide sleeve arranged on the guide column, the guide column is arranged on the accommodating cavity, the guide sleeve is connected to the second frame plate, and the second frame plate slides along the guide column through the guide sleeve.

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes a photoelectric sensor, which is arranged on the bracket and is used to monitor the height of the bracket.

[0012] Furthermore, the shell is provided with a guide groove, and the guide groove is located on the outer wall of the shell. The shielding cover is arranged on the guide groove and slides along the guide groove to cover the camera hole or avoid the camera hole.

[0013] Furthermore, the shielding cover also includes a cover body and a first anti-wear sheet, the cover body is sleeved on the outer wall of the shell, the first anti-wear sheet is arranged on the cover body, the first anti-wear sheet is abutted against the outer wall of the shell, and the second part of the magnetic component is clamped between the first anti-wear sheet and the cover body.

[0015] The present invention also provides a camera, comprising a camera module and any one of the above camera privacy covers, wherein the camera module is arranged in the accommodating cavity, and the camera end of the camera module is located at the camera hole.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the camera privacy cover of the embodiment of the present invention has the following beneficial effects: the first part of the magnetic component is driven to move up and down by the lifting mechanism, so that the second part of the magnetic component is attracted by the first part of the magnetic component and moves along, and then the shielding cover provided with the second part of the magnetic component moves up and down with the lifting of the first part of the magnetic component to cover the camera hole or avoid the camera hole. The magnetic connection allows the shielding cover to have an independent trajectory, and the movement of the shielding cover outside the shell is the same as the movement of the lifting mechanism inside the shell. When separated, the movement of the shielding cover is not completely consistent with the movement of the lifting mechanism. The movement of the shielding cover is smoother than that of the lifting mechanism. When the lifting mechanism is temporarily stuck, the movement is transferred to the movement of the shielding cover through magnetism. The stuck situation will become smooth due to the previous conversion. Therefore, the magnetic shielding cover movement can filter the stuck of the moving parts of the lifting mechanism, reduce the influence of the clearance stuck of the rack and gear of the lifting mechanism on the sliding of the shielding cover, and make the opening and closing process of the camera privacy cover smoother.

[0028] The following is a description of exemplary embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, including various details of the embodiments of the present invention to facilitate understanding, which should be considered as merely exemplary. Therefore, it should be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art that various changes and modifications may be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope of the present invention. Similarly, for clarity and conciseness, descriptions of well-known functions and structures are omitted in the following description.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention provides a camera privacy cover, comprising: a shell 1, a lifting mechanism 2, a first part 3 of a magnetic component and a shielding cover 4.

[0030] Among them, the shell 1 is provided with a camera hole 101 and a accommodating cavity 102; the lifting mechanism 2 is arranged in the accommodating cavity 102; the first part 3 of the magnetic component is arranged on the lifting mechanism 2, and the first part 3 of the magnetic component is located between the lifting mechanism 2 and the inner wall of the shell 1, and the lifting mechanism 2 can change the height of the first part 3 of the magnetic component; the inner wall of the shielding cover 4 is fixedly provided with a second part 41 of the magnetic component adsorbed with the first part 3 of the magnetic component, and the second part 41 of the magnetic component is adsorbed with the first part 3 of the magnetic component through the shell 1, so that the shielding cover 4 is arranged on the outer wall of the shell 1, and the shielding cover 4 is slidably arranged on the outer wall of the shell 1, and the shielding cover 4 slides along the shell 1 according to the lifting and lowering of the first part 3 of the magnetic component to cover the camera hole 101 or avoid the camera hole 101.

[0031] The camera privacy cover of the present application drives the first part 3 of the magnetic component to move up and down through the lifting mechanism 2, so that the second part 41 of the magnetic component is attracted by the first part 3 of the magnetic component and moves along, and then the shielding cover 4 provided with the second part 41 of the magnetic component moves up and down with the lifting and lowering of the first part 3 of the magnetic component to cover the camera hole 101 or avoid the camera hole 101. The magnetic connection allows the shielding cover 4 to have an independent trajectory, and the movement of the shielding cover 4 outside the shell 1 is relatively separated from the movement of the lifting mechanism 2 inside the shell 1. The magnetic movement of the shielding cover 4 can filter the jamming of the moving parts of the lifting mechanism 2, reduce the influence of the gear matching clearance jamming of the rack 23 of the lifting mechanism 2 on the sliding of the shielding cover 4, and make the opening and closing process of the camera privacy cover smoother.

[0032] By using magnetic components to separate the shielding cover 4 from the moving parts, the lifting mechanism can be tested by the cooperation of the lifting mechanism 3 and the shielding cover 4 when the housing 1 is not set, which is convenient for production to inspect and intercept defective products in advance at the semi-finished stage. The shielding cover 4 is driven to rise and fall by the magnetic component as a bridge, which has a certain buffering effect. It is not fixed by screws or hard limiters, which can reduce the jitter and setback caused by the assembly error of the transmission module. Since the shielding cover 4 is bound and independent by the magnetic component, there is no direct connection between the shielding cover 4 and the lifting mechanism 2. Compared with hard limits such as screw dispensing, it is more convenient to shape the appearance, because there is no fixed connection structure to increase the space for the appearance. The shielding cover 4 does not need to be fixed with the rack 23, which makes the shielding cover 4 unable to be used as an overall appearance. There is no need to add appropriate ugly treatment to weaken or block the influence of the fixed connection structure on the appearance, so that the camera privacy cover is more beautiful and does not need to be bound to the moving parts. The first part 3 of the magnetic component and the second part 41 of the magnetic component are preferably magnets. Compared with other magnetic materials, magnets have the advantages of high magnetic strength, good stability, and easy processing. High magnetic strength is more conducive to filtering the jamming of the moving parts of the lifting mechanism 2, and good stability helps to increase the life of the product. The first part 3 of the magnetic component and the second part 41 of the magnetic component are preferably magnets. Compared with the design in which only one part is a magnet, the solution of two magnets attracting each other can better align and reduce the situation in which the privacy cover cannot be automatically reset due to misalignment.

[0033] The transmission part of the gear and rack 23 of the lifting mechanism 2 can be inspected and tested before assembling the whole machine, which is convenient for testing. The shielding cover 4 is set separately from the transmission part, and motion detection can be performed before assembling the shell, avoiding the need to repeatedly disassemble and assemble the equipment during detection and debugging, thereby improving the production yield and reducing the high cost of maintenance. Since the magnetic field of the magnetic connection acts in the air, the shielding cover 4 does not require additional slots and fixed structures, which simplifies the structure and reduces costs while meeting the requirements of appearance and aesthetics. The use of a magnetic connection can reduce the mechanical jamming caused by conventional hard connections. The magnetic type can filter the jamming, making the overall operation of the camera privacy cover smoother. The magnetic connection allows the shielding cover 4 to have an independent trajectory. Compared with the shielding cover 4 hard-connected to the lifting mechanism 2, it can effectively reduce mechanical jamming and make the opening and closing process of the camera privacy cover smoother.

[0034] Specifically, the second part 41 of the magnetic component is evenly arranged around the shielding cover 4. Through the magnetic attraction of the second part 41 of the magnetic component and the first part 3 of the magnetic component, it can play an automatic alignment role. Therefore, after the privacy cover is rotated, it can still be automatically aligned without affecting the use.

[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, in an optional embodiment of the present invention, the lifting mechanism 2 includes a motor 21, a bracket 22 and a rack 23, the motor 21 is arranged in the accommodating cavity 102, the rack 23 is arranged on the bracket 22, the rack 23 is engaged with the motor 21, the bracket 22 is slidably arranged on the shell 1, the bracket 22 is provided with a mounting groove 201, and the first part 3 of the magnetic component is arranged on the mounting groove 201.

[0036] By engaging the motor 21 with the rack 23, the lifting mechanism 2 is raised or lowered, the stability and accuracy of the lifting mechanism 2 during operation are guaranteed, the opening and closing of the magnetic shielding cover 4 is more stable, and the shaking and setbacks during the movement are reduced. The mounting groove 201 provided on the bracket 22 provides greater flexibility for the installation and removal of the first part 3 of the magnetic component, which is convenient for later maintenance and debugging, and reduces the complexity in the production and maintenance process. By arranging the motor 21 in the accommodating cavity 102, space is saved, the overall equipment is made more compact, and it is conducive to improving the rationality of the structural layout of the product. The lifting mechanism 2 is slidably connected to the housing 1 through the bracket 22, thereby providing support for the rising or falling movement process, making the movement more stable. The simple combination of the motor 21, the rack 23 and the bracket 22 improves the overall reliability of the camera privacy cover, ensures that there will be no frequent failures in the long-term use of the lifting mechanism 2, and the simplified structural combination reduces the manufacturing complexity and production cost, which can effectively improve the economic benefits of the enterprise.

[0037] Specifically, the motor 21 is a stepper motor 21 , and the motor 21 is provided with a plurality of gears, and the plurality of gears are meshed with each other to adjust the transmission ratio, which helps to control the lifting speed of the lifting mechanism 2 .

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, in an optional embodiment of the present invention, the bracket 22 includes a first frame plate 221 and a plurality of second frame plates 222, the plurality of second frame plates 222 are vertically arranged on the first frame plate 221, the second frame plates 222 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the shell 1, the mounting groove 201 is arranged on the side of the second frame plate 222 close to the shell 1, and the rack 23 is arranged on the first frame plate 221.

[0039] Through the vertical combination of the first frame plate 221 and the second frame plate 222, the first frame plate 221 provides a stronger structural support for the lifting mechanism 2 and facilitates the installation and protection of the first part 3 of the magnetic component, ensuring the stability and safety of the first part 3 of the magnetic component during the opening and closing process of the privacy cover, and effectively reducing the deformation or damage of the first part 3 of the magnetic component caused by external forces. By making the second frame plate 222 and the inner wall of the shell 1 slidingly connected, the lifting process of the first part 3 of the magnetic component is smoother, reducing the friction resistance between the lifting mechanism 2 and the shell 1, and improving the lifting operation efficiency.

[0040] By setting the mounting groove 201 on the side of the second frame plate 222 close to the shell 1, it is helpful to flexibly install the first part 3 of the magnetic component. At the same time, the position of the first part 3 of the magnetic component in the mounting groove 201 can be adjusted according to actual needs, thereby adjusting the height of the first part 3 of the magnetic component, facilitating the alignment of the heights of multiple first parts 3 of the magnetic components to generate consistent magnetic force, and enhancing the adaptability of the product. The second frame plate 222 separates the camera from the motor 21 and the rack 23, so as to better protect the internal motor 21 and rack 23 components, prevent external foreign matter from invading from the camera hole 101 of the camera, and improve the overall safety and reliability. Through the sliding connection between the second frame plate 222 and the shell 1, the noise and vibration of the lifting mechanism 2 during movement can be effectively reduced, providing a quieter use environment for the user. Specifically, the first frame plate 221 and the second frame plate 222 are integrally formed.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, in an optional embodiment of the present invention, the first frame plate 221 is an annular frame plate, the second frame plate 222 is a strip frame plate, and the rack 23 is arranged on the inner ring surface of the first frame plate 221. The first frame plate 221 of the annular frame plate provides a uniform support structure, and the lifting mechanism 2 maintains higher stability during the lifting process, reducing the jamming phenomenon caused by tilting or imbalance. By arranging the rack 23 on the inner ring surface of the first frame plate 221, the force of the first frame plate 221 is close to the center of gravity, which can better cooperate with the motion mechanism of the second frame plate 222, improve the transmission efficiency, and ensure that the lifting process of the lifting mechanism 2 is smoother. The combined structure of the annular frame plate and the strip frame plate makes the space utilization more efficient, reduces the space occupied by the rack 23, and allows the first part 3 of the magnetic component to be close to the inner wall of the shell 1. The annular frame plate can effectively wrap the internal mechanical components, such as the rack 23 and the circuit board of the camera module 6, to prevent the intrusion of dust or external objects and improve safety.

[0042] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, in an optional embodiment of the present invention, the shell 1 is provided with a guide column 11 and a guide sleeve 12 arranged on the guide column 11, the guide column 11 is arranged on the accommodating cavity 101, the guide sleeve 12 is connected to the second frame plate 222, and the second frame plate 222 slides along the guide column 11 through the guide sleeve 12.

[0043] Through the cooperation of the guide column 11 and the guide sleeve 12, the second frame plate 222 can slide smoothly along the guide column 11, reducing the friction generated during the movement, making the lifting mechanism 2 move more smoothly, thereby improving the smoothness of the opening and closing of the privacy cover. The guide column 11 provides a clear motion trajectory to ensure the precise positioning of the second frame plate 222 during lifting and lowering, avoiding offset or jamming, and improving the reliability of use. The guide column 11 provides a stable support for the second frame plate 222, and the guide sleeve 12 provides a stable connection for the second frame plate 222, so that it maintains vertical and horizontal stability during movement, reducing the risk of failure due to structural instability. Through the good cooperation of the guide sleeve 12 and the guide column 11, the direct contact between the moving parts can be effectively reduced, and the wear can be reduced, thereby extending the service life of the privacy cover. The stability and stability of the sliding mechanism along the guide column 11 improve the smoothness of the lifting and lowering of the lifting mechanism 2, making the opening and closing of the privacy cover easier and more comfortable. The connection between the guide sleeve 12 and the second frame plate 222 effectively avoids the risk of accidental loosening or falling off, improves the safety of the lifting mechanism 2, and ensures reliability during use.

[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, in an optional embodiment of the present invention, a photoelectric sensor 5 is further included, and the photoelectric sensor 5 is arranged on the bracket 22, and the photoelectric sensor 5 is used to monitor the height of the bracket 22. By arranging the photoelectric sensor 5 on the bracket 22, when the photoelectric sensor 5 is in the first position covering the camera hole 101 and the second position avoiding the camera hole 101, a light shielding sheet is arranged at the corresponding position of the photoelectric sensor 5 on the housing 1, so that the photoelectric sensor 5 monitors the height of the bracket 22, which helps to control the start and stop of the bracket 22. Compared with the shield-type limit shielding cover 4, the monitoring of the photoelectric sensor 5 can realize the silent stop of the movement of the bracket 22, which meets the needs of the meeting.

[0045] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the shell 1 is provided with a guide groove 103, the guide groove 103 is located on the outer wall of the shell 1, the shielding cover 4 is arranged on the guide groove, and slides along the guide groove 103 to cover the camera hole 101 or avoid the camera hole 101.

[0046] Through a simple sliding operation, the shielding cover 4 is moved from the first position of shielding the camera hole 101 to the second position of avoiding the camera hole 101, which is intuitive to operate and convenient to use. The shielding cover 4 can completely shield the camera hole 101 in the first position, effectively protecting the user's privacy and preventing unauthorized camera shooting. By setting a vertical guide groove 103, the shielding cover 4 can slide freely, and the shielding cover 4 is provided with a convex structure that is inserted into the guide groove 103 to prevent the shielding cover 4 from rotating. When the camera is used, the shielding cover 4 can be quickly switched to the second position, and automatically returns to the first position when not in use. The guide groove 103 provides a stable guide, so that the shielding cover 4 is not easy to fall off or get stuck during the sliding process, ensuring the safety and reliability during use. The guide groove 103 can reduce the friction between the shielding cover 4 and the housing 1, reduce wear, improve the durability of the product, and extend the service life. Through the easy-to-slide design, users can feel a more fluent and smooth experience when switching the privacy state, which enhances the overall product satisfaction.

[0047] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in an optional embodiment of the present invention, the shielding cover 4 also includes a cover body 42 and a first anti-wear sheet 43. The cover body 42 is sleeved on the outer wall of the shell 1, and the first anti-wear sheet 43 is arranged on the cover body 42. The first anti-wear sheet 43 is against the outer wall of the shell 1, and the second part 41 of the magnetic component is clamped between the first anti-wear sheet 43 and the cover body 42.

[0048] By setting the first anti-wear sheet 43 on the cover body 42, the friction between the cover body 42 and the outer wall of the shell 1 is effectively reduced, the wear caused by frequent sliding during use is reduced, and the service life of the product is extended. The first anti-wear sheet 43 not only plays a protective role, but also effectively prevents dust and dirt from entering the second part 41 of the magnetic component, ensures the cleaning of the second part 41 of the magnetic component and the normal movement of the shielding cover 4, and improves the overall performance. By sandwiching the second part 41 of the magnetic component between the first anti-wear sheet 43 and the cover body 42, additional stability is provided to ensure that the second part 41 of the magnetic component is not easy to loosen or fall off during use, thereby improving the reliability of the product. By using the first anti-wear sheet 43, the sliding operation of the shielding cover 4 is smoother, which enhances the user experience and reduces the discomfort caused by friction. The cover body 42, the first anti-wear sheet 43 and the magnetic component cooperate to make the overall structure more compact and reasonable, reduce production costs, and improve the competitiveness of the product. Specifically, the first anti-wear sheet 43 is detachably arranged on the cover body 42. The detachable first anti-wear sheet 43 makes cleaning and maintenance easier. The user can easily remove and replace the anti-wear sheet, thereby reducing maintenance costs and time.

[0049] like Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, in an optional embodiment of the present invention, the shielding cover 4 also includes a second anti-wear sheet 44, which is arranged on the cover body 42, and the second anti-wear sheet 44 is against the outer wall of the shell 1, and the second anti-wear sheet 44 is located on both sides of the first anti-wear sheet 43. By adding the second anti-wear sheet 44, the protection of the second part 41 of the magnetic component is enhanced, and a multi-layer anti-wear design is formed, which effectively reduces the wear and scratches caused by daily use, thereby extending the service life of the product. The second anti-wear sheet 44 is against the outer wall of the shell 1, which can evenly disperse the pressure on the cover body 42 during the opening and closing process, reduce the risk of local wear, and improve the stability of the structure. During use, the provision of the second anti-wear sheet 44 can reduce the collision sound between the cover body 42 and the shell 1, reduce noise, provide a quieter use environment, and enhance user experience.

[0050] In addition to the first anti-wear sheet 13 and the second anti-wear sheet 44 described above, a third anti-wear sheet may be added to the bottom of the guide groove 103 and a fourth anti-wear sheet may be added to the left and right of the guide groove 103 according to actual conditions; all the above anti-wear sheets may be freely combined and used without restriction.

[0051] Multiple anti-wear features make users feel more assured during use, can better reduce the noise of the shielding cover 4 moving, and enhance the credibility of the product and user satisfaction. Specifically, the second anti-wear sheet 44 is independently detachable, making it easy to replace. Users can easily replace the worn anti-wear sheet during maintenance, reducing the difficulty and cost of maintenance.

[0052] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, an embodiment of the second aspect of the present application provides a camera, including a camera module 6 and the aforementioned camera privacy cover, the camera module 6 is arranged in the accommodating cavity 102, and the camera end of the camera module 6 is located at the camera hole 101.

[0053] It should be understood that the various forms of processes shown above can be used to reorder, add or delete steps. For example, the steps described in the present invention can be executed in parallel, sequentially or in different orders, as long as the desired results of the technical solution disclosed in the present invention can be achieved, and this document does not limit this.

[0054] The above specific implementations do not constitute a limitation on the protection scope of the present invention. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that various modifications, combinations, sub-combinations and substitutions can be made according to design requirements and other factors. Any modification, equivalent substitution and improvement made within the principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
