[0047] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the utility model clearer, the technical solution of the utility model will be described clearly and completely in conjunction with the drawings in the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0048] Combine the following Figure 1-Figure 8 , the camera device with privacy protection provided by the embodiment of the utility model is described in detail through specific embodiments and application scenarios.

[0049] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the utility model provides a camera device with privacy protection, including: a camera body 1 and a shielding component 2, and the shielding component 2 includes a mounting seat 21 and a baffle 22.

[0050] The mounting seat 21 is disposed on the camera body 1 and is located at one side of the lens of the camera body 1 . The mounting seat 21 is provided with a first limiting portion 2101 and a second limiting portion 2102 .

[0051] The baffle 22 is movably disposed on the mounting seat 21 and can be switched between a first state and a second state relative to the mounting seat 21 .

[0052] like Figure 1 As shown, when the baffle 22 is in the first state, the baffle 22 covers the front side of the lens and is connected to the first limiting portion 2101 .

[0053] like Figure 2 As shown, when the baffle 22 is in the second state, the baffle 22 is away from the lens and connected to the second limiting portion 2102 .

[0054] It is understandable that the camera body 1 has a camera module 14, the shielding component 2 is arranged on the surface of the camera body 1 and is located on one side of the lens of the camera module 14, and the baffle 22 of the shielding component 2 can be moved relative to the mounting base 21 under manual drive of the operator so that the baffle 22 covers the front side of the lens, or the baffle 22 is away from the lens.

[0055] Optionally, the baffle 22 is located in a plane perpendicular to the optical axis of the camera module 14 , and the baffle 22 is movably disposed on the mounting base 21 along a straight line direction to achieve switching between a first state and a second state relative to the mounting base 21 .

[0056] Optionally, the baffle 22 is located in a plane perpendicular to the optical axis of the camera module 14 , and the baffle 22 is rotatably disposed on the mounting base 21 along a rotation axis parallel to the optical axis to achieve switching between a first state and a second state relative to the mounting base 21 .

[0057] The camera device shown in this embodiment, by providing a shielding assembly 2 on one side of the lens, can, in actual applications, be manually driven by an operator to move the baffle 22 relative to the mounting seat 21, and stably maintain the baffle 22 in the second state with the cooperation of the second limiting portion 2102, so as to expose the lens of the camera subject 1 and ensure that the camera subject 1 can perform the monitoring function normally. When privacy protection is required, the operator can also drive the baffle 22 to move relative to the mounting seat 21, and stably maintain the baffle 22 in the first state with the cooperation of the first limiting portion 2101, so as to cover the lens of the camera subject 1, thereby preventing the camera subject 1 from continuing to monitor the surrounding environment.

[0058] It can be seen from the above that the camera device shown in the utility model can meet the operator's need to manually drive the baffle 22 to cover the front side of the lens, thereby achieving a stable and reliable privacy protection effect. It is especially suitable for people who are not convenient to use electronic devices to choose whether to control the camera device for privacy protection according to actual needs. It can also effectively avoid the risk of the camera device being invaded by the network and the surveillance screen being stolen.

[0059] In some embodiments, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the baffle 22 is rotatably disposed on the mounting seat 21 along the rotation axis to achieve switching between the first state and the second state.

[0060] The first limiting portion 2101 and the second limiting portion 2102 are respectively arranged opposite to two boundary positions along the rotation path of the baffle 22 .

[0061] The rotation axis shown in this embodiment is parallel to the optical axis of the camera subject 1 .

[0062] It is understandable that in this embodiment, the baffle 22 is rotatably arranged on the mounting seat 21. This design can not only effectively reduce the occupied space, but also facilitate the operator to manually apply tangential force to the baffle 22 to control the baffle 22 to switch between the first state and the second state.

[0063] In practical applications, the first limiting portion 2101 is used to limit the limit position that the baffle 22 can reach when rotating clockwise relative to the mounting seat 21, and the second limiting portion 2102 is used to limit the limit position that the baffle 22 can reach when rotating counterclockwise relative to the mounting seat 21.

[0064] The rotation angle range of the baffle 22 relative to the mounting seat 21 can be set between 60° and 120°.

[0065] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the mounting seat 21 includes a base 211 , a rotating shaft 212 and a limiting cap 213 .

[0066] The base 211 is arranged on the camera body 1, the first end of the rotating shaft 212 is connected to the base 211, and the second end of the rotating shaft 212 is connected to the limiting cap 213; the first end of the baffle 22 is rotatably mounted on the peripheral wall of the rotating shaft 212 and clamped between the base 211 and the limiting cap 213.

[0067] When the baffle 22 is in the first state, the second end of the baffle 22 covers the front side of the lens; when the baffle 22 is in the second state, the second end of the baffle 22 is away from the lens.

[0068] It is understandable that a through opening is provided at the first end of the baffle 22 , the rotating shaft 212 passes through the through opening, and the diameter of the through opening is adapted to the diameter of the rotating shaft 212 .

[0069] At the same time, a side surface of the base 211 facing the camera body 1 is set as a contoured surface, and the contoured surface is adapted to the shape of the outer surface of the camera body 1.

[0070] The side of the base 211 facing the camera body 1 can be bonded to the outer surface of the camera body 1 through the adhesive 3 , and the shapes of the baffle 22 and the adhesive 3 can be adaptively designed according to the shape of the base 211 .

[0071] In some embodiments, Figure 8 As shown, the rotating shaft 212 includes a first segment 2121 , a second segment 2122 and a third segment 2123 .

[0072] The first segment 2121, the second segment 2122 and the third segment 2123 are connected in sequence, and the diameter of the first segment 2121 is larger than the diameter of the second segment 2122, so that a step surface is formed at one end of the first segment 2121 facing the second segment 2122; the diameter of the third segment 2123 is less than or equal to the diameter of the second segment 2122.

[0073] The base 211 is provided with a through hole, a portion of the second segment 2122 is passed through the through hole, and the step surface abuts against a side surface of the base 211 facing the camera body 1 .

[0074] The baffle plate 22 is disposed on a side surface of the base 211 facing away from the camera body 1 , and a first end of the baffle plate 22 is sleeved on a peripheral wall of another portion of the second segment 2122 .

[0075] The limiting cap 213 is covered on the peripheral wall of the third segment 2123 , and the limiting cap 213 and the third segment 2123 are connected via a positioning pin 214 .

[0076] It is understandable that the through hole set on the base 211 can be a stepped hole, the through hole includes a first hole segment and a second hole segment, the first hole segment and the second hole segment are connected, the aperture of the first hole segment is larger than the aperture of the second hole segment, and the first hole segment is set on a side of the base 211 facing the camera subject 1, and the second hole segment is set on a side of the base 211 away from the camera subject 1.

[0077] like Figure 3 As shown, when assembling the shielding assembly 2, the rotating shaft 212, the baffle 22 and the limiting cap 213 can be installed in sequence based on the base 211, as shown below:

[0078] First, the shaft 212 is assembled. The third section 2123 of the shaft 212 can be directed toward the first hole section of the through hole to control the shaft 212 to penetrate into the through hole until the step surface on the second section 2122 abuts against the step surface between the first hole section and the second hole section.

[0079] Next, the baffle 22 is assembled by sleeve-mounting the first end of the baffle 22 on the third segment 2123 of the shaft 212 , and then controlling the baffle 22 to move axially along the shaft 212 until the first end of the baffle 22 is sleeved on the peripheral wall of the second segment 2122 of the shaft 212 .

[0080] Finally, the limiting cap 213 is installed, and the limiting cap 213 is sleeved on the third segment 2123 of the rotating shaft 212, and the limiting cap 213 and the rotating shaft 212 are connected as a whole through the positioning pin 214, so as to clamp the first end of the baffle 22 between the base 211 and the limiting cap 213, and prevent the rotating shaft 212 from shaking relative to the base 211.

[0081] In some embodiments, Figure 3 and Figure 8 As shown, the side wall of the limiting cap 213 is provided with a first insertion hole, and the third segment 2123 is provided with a second insertion hole 21201; the side wall of the third segment 2123 is provided with a first positioning surface 21202, and the inner wall of the limiting cap 213 is provided with a second positioning surface.

[0082] When the limiting cap 213 is covered on the peripheral wall of the third segment 2123 , the first positioning surface 21202 fits with the second positioning surface so that the first plug hole and the second plug hole 21201 are connected; the positioning pin 214 is sequentially inserted into the first plug hole and the second plug hole 21201 .

[0083] It is understandable that the first positioning surface 21202 and the second positioning surface of this embodiment are both planes, and the first positioning surface 21202 and the second positioning surface are both parallel to the axis of the rotating shaft 212. This design facilitates the limiting cap 213 to be smoothly mounted on the third segment 2123 of the rotating shaft 212.

[0084] At the same time, based on the cooperation between the first positioning surface 21202 and the second positioning surface, it can be ensured that the limit cap 213 can only be mounted on the third segment 2123 of the rotating shaft 212 in a set posture, and when the limit cap 213 is covered on the peripheral wall of the third segment 2123, it can be ensured that the first socket and the second socket 21201 are in a connected state. This design makes it easy for the operator to directly insert the positioning pin 214 into the first socket and the second socket 21201 in turn to realize the connection of the limit cap 213 and the rotating shaft 212 as one.

[0085] In addition, after the positioning pin 214 is inserted, the portion of the positioning pin 214 exposed from the limiting cap 213 can be encapsulated by hot melting, which can prevent the positioning pin 214 from being detached and ensure the aesthetic appearance of the limiting cap 213.

[0086] In some embodiments, Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the base 211 includes an ear portion 2111 and an annular portion 2112 ; the ear portion 2111 is arranged on one side of the annular portion 2112 , and the annular portion 2112 and the lens are coaxially arranged.

[0087] The rotating shaft 212 is disposed at the ear portion 2111 ; when the baffle plate 22 is in the first state, at least a portion of the outer contour of the second end of the baffle plate 22 coincides with the outer contour of the annular portion 2112 .

[0088] Specifically, when the baffle 22 is in the first state, along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 212, the vertical projection of the baffle 22 can overlap with the vertical projection of the base 211. This design can ensure the aesthetic layout of the baffle 22 relative to the base 211, and the baffle 22 can reliably cover the front side of the lens when it is in the first state. At this time, regardless of whether the camera module 14 is working or not, the camera device can be controlled by the baffle 22 for privacy protection.

[0089] In some embodiments, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the first limiting portion 2101 is a limiting rib, and the limiting rib is extended along the periphery of the annular portion 2112.

[0090] When the baffle 22 is in the first state, the side edge of the baffle 22 abuts against or is magnetically connected to the limiting rib.

[0091] It is understandable that when the baffle 22 rotates to the extreme position in the clockwise direction relative to the rotating shaft 212, the baffle 22 is in the first state. At this time, the baffle 22 abuts against the limiting rib under the action of its own gravity. The limiting rib is used to prevent the baffle 22 from continuing to rotate in the clockwise direction to ensure that the baffle 22 remains in the first state to cover the lens.

[0092] At the same time, the limiting ribs can also be made of permanent magnets, and the baffle 22 is a ferromagnetic baffle. When the baffle 22 abuts against the limiting ribs, the baffle 22 and the limiting ribs are attracted to each other. This design can further prevent the baffle 22 and the limiting ribs from separating under slight vibrations and other small external forces.

[0093] In some embodiments, Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the limiting cap 213 includes a cap body 2131 and a limiting ear 2132 .

[0094] The limiting ear 2132 is disposed on one side of the cap body 2131 , and the cap body 2131 is covered on the second end of the rotating shaft 212 ; the limiting ear 2132 forms a second limiting portion 2102 .

[0095] It is understandable that when the baffle 22 rotates to the extreme position in the counterclockwise direction relative to the rotating shaft 212, the baffle 22 is in the second state. At this time, the baffle 22 abuts against the limiting ear 2132 under the action of its own gravity, and the limiting ear 2132 is used to prevent the baffle 22 from continuing to rotate in the counterclockwise direction to ensure that the baffle 22 remains in the second state, thereby achieving separation from the lens.

[0096] In some embodiments, Figure 5 As shown, the second limiting portion 2102 is a permanent magnet disposed on the base 211; when the baffle 22 is in the second state, the permanent magnet and the baffle 22 are attracted to each other.

[0097] It is understandable that the baffle 22 shown in this embodiment is a ferromagnetic baffle, and the permanent magnet is used to produce an adsorption effect on the baffle 22 when the baffle 22 is in the second state, so as to further ensure that the baffle 22 is maintained in the second state.

[0098] The permanent magnet shown in this embodiment is disposed in the base 211 . The permanent magnet is in an arc shape and is extended along the circumference of the ear portion 2111 on the base 211 .

[0099] Based on the scheme shown in the above embodiment, Figure 5 As shown, in order to ensure that the field of view of the camera module 14 does not interfere with the limiting cap 213 of the shielding assembly 2, the minimum distance between the limiting cap 213 and the boundary of the field of view of the camera module 14 in a plane perpendicular to the optical axis of the camera module 14 is set to d, d≥5mm.

[0100] The field of view of the camera module 14 is determined by the maximum vertical field of view and the maximum horizontal field of view of the camera module 14. Figure 5 The rectangular area corresponding to the lens drawn in the figure is shown as follows, α represents the maximum vertical field of view angle of the camera module 14, and β represents the maximum horizontal field of view angle of the camera module 14.

[0101] In some embodiments, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the camera body 1 includes a fixed platform 11, a first rotating body 12, a second rotating body 13 and a camera module 14.

[0102] The first rotating body 12 is rotatably disposed on the fixed platform 11 around a vertical axis, the second rotating body 13 is rotatably disposed on the first rotating body 12 around a horizontal axis, and the camera module 14 and the shielding assembly 2 are respectively disposed on the second rotating body 13 .

[0103] Specifically, the fixed platform 11 is disc-shaped, the bottom end of the first rotating body 12 is rotatably arranged on the fixed platform 11 around a vertical axis, the top end of the first rotating body 12 is provided with a notch, the second rotating body 13 is arranged in the notch, and is rotatably arranged on the first rotating body 12 around a horizontal axis.

[0104] At the same time, the camera module 14 is disposed in the second rotating body 13 , the lens of the camera module 14 is located on the front side of the second rotating body 13 , and the shielding component 2 is disposed on the front side of the second rotating body 13 .

[0105] In some embodiments, Figure 1As shown, a light sensor 101, a microphone 102 and an indicator light 103 are also provided on the second rotating body 13. The light sensor 101, the microphone 102 and the indicator light 103 are arranged around the lens of the camera module 14, and the rotating shaft 212 of the shielding component 2 is located between two adjacent ones of the light sensor 101, the microphone 102 and the indicator light 103.

[0106] The light sensor 101 and the microphone 102 are respectively connected to the control module of the camera device, and the control module is respectively connected to the camera module 14 and the indicator light 103 .

[0107] The light sensor 101 is used to detect the light information of the environment where the camera device is located. The control module is used to control the camera module 14 to start working and control the indicator light 103 to emit light when the light intensity detected by the light sensor 101 is greater than a preset value.
