The lens module has more than two lenses 800 to obtain all-round 360° video images, and the sliding switch structure is located below any one of the lenses 800.

[0065] It is understandable that the sliding switch structure may also have two or more, which are respectively located under the lens 800 of the lens module. However, due to cost considerations, the sliding switch structure has only one, which is located under any one of the lenses 800.

[0066] In one specific implementation, the panoramic conference camera further includes: a sliding housing 700, wherein the sliding housing 700 is fixedly connected to the slider assembly, and in one feasible specific implementation, the sliding housing 700 is fixedly connected to the slider assembly by screw connection;

[0067] Further, the sliding housing 700 slides up and down as the slider assembly slides;

[0068] When the slider assembly is located at the first position, the sliding housing 700 is located below the lens module. Figure 5 As shown, the position of the sliding housing 700 at this time is the position when the slider assembly is in the first position. At this time, the magnetic element 500 of the sliding switch structure is close to the Hall sensor 101 and is facing the Hall sensor 101. The Hall sensor 101 detects the strength of the magnetic field nearby and controls the switch circuit board 100 to be powered on. Then, the panoramic conference machine 600 is in the power-on state, the lens module is in the working state, and the panoramic video image information is acquired in real time.

[0069] When the slider assembly is in the second position, the sliding housing 700 covers the lens module (not shown in the figure), the magnetic element 500 is away from the Hall sensor 101, the Hall sensor 101 does not detect the nearby magnetic field strength, and the Hall sensor 101 controls the switch circuit board 100 to cut off the power, then the panoramic conference camera 600 is in the off state, and the sliding housing 700 covers the lens module, which not only protects the user's privacy, but also makes the panoramic conference camera 600 more beautiful, simple and atmospheric as a whole. The embodiment of the present application realizes the shutdown operation of the panoramic conference camera 600 while the sliding housing 700 covers the lens module through the design of the sliding housing 700, and realizes the two operations through one structural component, which simplifies the structural design and improves the user's usage experience and viewing experience.

[0070] One specific implementation method is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the first sliding block 200 includes a first mounting portion 210 and a second mounting portion 220, and the first mounting portion 210 and the second mounting portion 220 are integrally formed;

[0071] Furthermore, if Figure 3 As shown, the second slider 300 is fixedly connected to the first mounting portion 210, wherein a feasible specific implementation is that a plurality of the first slider mounting holes 201 are located on the first mounting portion 210, and a plurality of the second slider mounting posts 310 of the second slider 300 are fixedly connected with a plurality of the first slider mounting holes 201 of the first mounting portion 210;

The sliding housing 700 is fixedly connected to the second mounting portion 220 of the first slider 200 via the fixing portion 710. One feasible specific implementation is that the sliding housing 700 is fixedly connected to the second mounting portion 220 of the first slider 200 via screws via the fixing portion 710.

[0073] One specific implementation method is as follows: Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the panoramic conference camera 600 further includes a camera housing 610, which is located outside the panoramic conference camera 600 body and is fixedly connected to the panoramic conference camera 600;

[0074] Further, the sliding housing 700 is located outside the camera housing 610, and the sliding housing 700 is located in the upper middle area of ​​the camera housing 610;

[0075] Furthermore, if Figure 6 As shown, the camera housing 610 has at least one slide rail movable groove 601, and the slide rail movable groove 601 is located outside the slide rail 400, and the slide rail movable groove 601 is opposite to the slide rail 400. Fig. 9 As shown, the fixed portion 710 of the sliding housing 700 is fixedly connected to the second mounting portion 220 of the first slider 200 through the sliding rail movable groove 601, and the fixed portion 710 of the sliding housing 700 and the second mounting portion 220 of the first slider 200 are both located in the sliding rail movable groove 601. In the sliding rail movable groove 601, the sliding housing 700 and the first slider 200 are linked to realize the up and down sliding of the sliding housing 700 relative to the camera housing 610, and the sliding rail movable groove 601 provides sufficient avoidance space for the sliding displacement of the sliding assembly and the sliding housing 700.

[0076] One specific implementation is that the camera housing 610 also has at least one limiting movable groove 602, and the sliding housing 700 also has at least one limiting block 720. The limiting block 720 is integrally formed with the sliding housing 700, and the limiting block 720 slides up and down under the limitation of the limiting movable groove 602. The limiting movable groove 602 also provides a guiding function for the sliding housing 700, so that the sliding housing 700 can better slide up and down on the surface of the camera housing 610.

[0077] One specific implementation method is as follows: Figure 1As shown, a guide rail limit block 900 is provided at the upper end of the sliding guide rail 400, and the guide rail limit block 900 limits the upward sliding displacement of the slider assembly to prevent the slider assembly from colliding with the lens 800 located above the slider guide rail 400 during the upward sliding process, thereby causing damage to the lens 800.

[0078] In one specific implementation, the sliding guide rail 400 and the second slider 300 are connected by a torsion spring (not shown in the figure), so that the user can use the elastic force of the torsion spring to easily slide the sliding assembly from the first position to the second position, or slide the sliding assembly from the second position to the first position by gently flicking the slider assembly.
