[0002] Existing portable electronic devices, such as mobile phones, usually have a shooting function. In order to protect the camera of the mobile phone, a protective structure is usually set on the back of the mobile phone to cover the camera. Since the size of the camera module is relatively small, the distance between the camera and the flash is small. When the protective structure is made of light-transmitting material, when the mobile phone turns on the flash to take a photo, the light generated by the flash will enter the protective structure, and after refraction and reflection, it will enter the space where the camera is located, making the space full of bright light and affecting the camera imaging exposure, resulting in incorrect exposure such as white fog or bluish in the photos taken, affecting the shooting quality.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0026] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods. It should be noted that, under the premise of no conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form a new embodiment.
[0027] It should be noted that all directional indications in the embodiments of the present invention (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, inside, outside, top, bottom...) are only used to explain the relative position relationship between the components under a certain specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.
[0028] It should also be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed on" or "disposed on" another element, the element may be directly on the other element or there may be an intermediate element at the same time. When an element is referred to as being "connected to" another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intermediate element at the same time.
[0029] See also Figures 1 to 7 An electronic device provided by an embodiment of the utility model includes a camera module and a camera protection device 10. The camera module includes a camera for shooting and a flash for fill light during shooting. The camera protection device 10 covers the camera to form a protective effect on the camera and reduce the risk of camera damage.
[0030] The specific type of electronic device is not limited, for example, mobile phones, tablet computers and other electronic products with shooting functions.
[0031] The camera protection device 10 includes a base 12 and a lens 14. The base 12 is penetrated with a camera avoidance hole 16 and a flash avoidance hole 18 spaced apart from each other. The lens 14 can transmit light and cover the camera avoidance hole 16. The camera of the camera module is opposite to the camera avoidance hole 16, that is, the camera and the lens 14 are spaced apart and arranged opposite to each other. External light can pass through the lens 14 into the camera avoidance hole 16 and finally enter the camera. The flash of the camera module is opposite to the flash avoidance hole 18 to avoid the light generated by the flash.
[0032] Preferably, the number of cameras, camera avoidance holes 16, and lenses 14 are all multiple and correspond one to one, that is, each camera corresponds to a corresponding camera avoidance hole 16 and a lens 14, and multiple cameras, multiple camera avoidance holes 16, and multiple lenses 14 are arranged at intervals, and one lens 14 is closer to the flash than other lenses 14. Specifically, the number of cameras, camera avoidance holes 16, and lenses 14 is three. By setting multiple cameras, the electronic device can achieve better shooting effects.
[0033] An anti-exposure layer 20 is provided on the base 12 and / or the lens 14, and the anti-exposure layer 20 is located in the camera avoidance hole 16 or the flash avoidance hole 18, or the anti-exposure layer 20 surrounds the outside of the camera avoidance hole 16 or the flash avoidance hole 18. The anti-exposure layer 20 is not light-transmissive and can prevent light from passing through. Therefore, when the light generated by the flash passes through the flash avoidance hole 18, the anti-exposure layer 20 prevents the light from passing through the base 12 from the flash avoidance hole 18 and entering the camera avoidance hole 16, thereby preventing the light generated by the flash from affecting the normal imaging exposure of the camera and ensuring the shooting quality of the electronic device.
[0034] The anti-exposure layer 20 is a coating structure, and the specific formation method of the coating structure is not limited. For example, the coating structure can be an electroplated layer formed by electroplating the inner wall of the camera avoidance hole 16, the inner wall of the flash avoidance hole 18, or the circumferential surface of the lens 14. The coating structure can also be a spray layer formed by a spraying process on the inner wall of the camera avoidance hole 16, the inner wall of the flash avoidance hole 18, or the circumferential surface of the lens 14. After the anti-exposure layer 20 is formed by electroplating or spraying, the anti-exposure layer 20 will be automatically fixed on the lens 14 or the base 12 without the need for additional fixing operations. It should be noted that the coating structure is a layered structure covering the surface of an object. In addition, the material of the anti-exposure layer 20 is not limited. Preferably, the material of the anti-exposure layer 20 can hinder the passage of light.
[0035] The base 12 is further provided with a storage groove 22, which surrounds the outer periphery of the camera avoidance hole 16 and is connected to the camera avoidance hole 16, and the lens 14 is arranged in the storage groove 22. The radial dimension of the storage groove 22 is larger than the radial dimension of the camera avoidance hole 16, so after the lens 14 is arranged in the storage groove 22, the lens 14 will automatically cover the camera avoidance hole 16, and at the same time, the lens 14 is stored in the storage groove 22, which can reduce the abruptness of the lens 14.
[0036] Preferably, along the axial direction of the camera avoidance hole 16, the outer surface of the lens 14 is flush with the outer surface of the base 12, or the outer surface of the lens 14 is slightly lower than the outer surface of the base 12, so as to prevent the lens 14 from protruding outside the base 12, thereby forming a certain protective effect for the lens 14 and reducing the risk of damage or scratches on the lens 14.
[0037] In one embodiment, the anti-exposure layer 20 is located between the lens 14 and the base 12. When the light generated by the flash passes through the flash avoidance hole 18, part of the light will enter the base 12. When the light passes through the base 12 and enters the camera avoidance hole 16, it will be blocked by the explosion-proof light layer, preventing the light from entering the camera avoidance hole 16 and affecting the normal imaging exposure of the camera.
[0038] The anti-exposure layer 20 is located between the lens 14 and the base 12 , which may mean that the anti-exposure layer 20 is fixed on the lens 14 , or may mean that the anti-exposure layer 20 is fixed on the base 12 .
[0039] It is understandable that when there are multiple lenses 14 and camera avoidance holes 16, an anti-exposure layer 20 may be provided between each lens 14 and the base 12, or the anti-exposure layer 20 may be provided only between the lens 14 near the flash and the base 12. In this embodiment, the anti-exposure layer 20 is located between the lens 14 near the flash and the base 12.
[0040] The lens 14 includes a main body 24 covering the camera avoidance hole 16 and a surrounding wall 26 surrounding the main body 24, and the anti-exposure layer 20 is located between the surrounding wall 26 and the base 12. Preferably, the main body 24 and the surrounding wall 26 are integrally formed.
[0041] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, in one embodiment, the storage groove 22 includes a first storage portion 28 and a second storage portion 30 arranged along the axial direction of the camera avoidance hole 16, the first storage portion 28 and the second storage portion 30 are connected to each other, the first storage portion 28 surrounds the outer periphery of the camera avoidance hole 16 and is connected to the camera avoidance hole 16, and the second storage portion 30 surrounds the outer periphery of the camera avoidance hole 16 and is spaced from the camera avoidance hole 16, that is, in the radial direction of the camera avoidance hole 16, there is a certain distance between the second storage portion 30 and the camera avoidance hole 16. The main body 24 is located in the first storage portion 28, and the surrounding wall 26 is inserted into the second storage portion 30. During the assembly process, the lens 14 can be placed above the camera avoidance hole 16, and the surrounding wall 26 is aligned with the second storage portion 30, and then the lens 14 is pressed downward, so that the surrounding wall 26 of the lens 14 can be inserted into the second storage groove 22, so that the lens 14 and the base 12 form a card-fitting effect, which is convenient for assembly.
[0042] It can be understood that the anti-exposure layer 20 can be located on the inner side of the surrounding wall 26 or on the outer side of the surrounding wall 26 . In the present embodiment, the anti-exposure layer 20 is located on the outer side of the surrounding wall 26 .
[0043] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in another embodiment, the storage groove 22 is recessed and formed on the inner surface of the camera avoidance hole 16 , the main body 24 and the surrounding wall 26 are both located in the storage groove 22 , and the surrounding wall 26 is glued and fixed to the inner wall of the storage groove 22 .
[0044] like Figure 7 As shown, in another embodiment, the anti-exposure layer 20 is located in the flash avoidance hole 18, so that the light generated by the flash enters the base 12 through the flash avoidance hole 18, thereby preventing the light from entering the camera avoidance hole 16.
[0045] In some embodiments, the lens 14 is detachably connected to the base 12, so when the lens 14 is damaged and needs to be replaced, the damaged lens 14 can be removed and replaced with a new lens 14 without replacing the entire camera protection device 10, which is beneficial to extending the service life of the camera protection device 10.
[0046] The specific manner of achieving detachable connection between the lens 14 and the base 12 is not limited, for example, by snap fit, interference fit, etc.
[0047] In one embodiment, the base 12 includes a light-transmitting base body 32 and a light-impermeable base body 34 which are stacked, the camera avoidance hole 16 and the flash avoidance hole 18 both penetrate the base body and the light-impermeable base body 34, and the lens 14 and the anti-exposure layer 20 are both disposed on the light-transmitting base body 32. Specifically, the light-transmitting base body 32 is a lens plastic part, and the light-impermeable base body 34 is a solid color plastic part.
[0048] The base 12 is provided with a buffer cavity 36, which is located at the periphery of the camera avoidance hole 16 and / or the flash avoidance hole 18, and the buffer cavity 36 is not connected to the camera avoidance hole 16 and the flash avoidance hole 18. Specifically, the light-transmitting base body 32 and the light-impermeable base body 34 are respectively provided with concave cavities on the two sides facing each other. After the base is assembled, the concave cavities on the light-transmitting base body 32 and the light-impermeable base body 34 are connected to each other to form the buffer cavity 36, and is located outside the camera avoidance hole 16 and the flash avoidance hole 18. By providing the buffer cavity 36 inside the base 12, an airbag structure is formed, which can produce a buffering effect when the camera protection device 10 is impacted, thereby reducing the risk of damage to the lens 14.
[0049] The above-mentioned implementation modes are only preferred implementation modes of the present invention, and cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by technicians in this field on the basis of the present invention shall fall within the scope of protection required by the present invention.
