The shielding assembly also includes a gear sleeve 8 and a sliding rack 9. The sliding rack 9 is slidably connected in the sliding cylinder 3. The sliding rack 9 and the gear sleeve 8 are meshed with each other. The length of the gear sleeve 8 is greater than the width of the sliding rack 9. The sliding rack 9 is horizontally slidably connected to the gear sleeve 8. Limiting plates are arranged at both ends of the gear sleeve 8. The limiting plates are arranged on both sides of the sliding rack 9. The gear sleeve is fixed on the rotating shaft 4. The shielding plate 5 is fixed on the gear sleeve 8. The lower end of the sliding rack 9 is rotatably connected to a resistance wheel, and the resistance wheel resists on the desktop. A reset spring 10 is connected between the sliding rack 9 and the sliding cylinder 3. The reset spring 10 resets the sliding rack and slides in the reverse direction after the display panel 1 is engaged, thereby causing the rotating shaft 4 to rotate in the reverse direction and retracting the shielding plate 5.

[0028] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown in Figure 4, a positioning sleeve 11 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 4, and a plurality of limiting grooves are arranged on one side of the outer wall of the positioning sleeve 11. The limiting grooves 12 extend horizontally, and the depth of the limiting grooves 12 gradually decreases from the middle to the two sides. When the baffle plate 5 blocks the camera, the limiting grooves 12 face directly downward.

[0029] like Figure 5As shown, a positioning mechanism is provided on the inner wall of the shielding shell, and the positioning mechanism includes a connecting tube 13, a positioning block 14 and a positioning spring 15. A mounting screw hole is provided on the mounting shell 2. The connecting tube 13 is threadedly connected and penetrates the mounting screw hole, and extends toward the limiting groove 12. The positioning block 14 is slidably connected to the connecting tube 13. The positioning spring 15 is connected between the positioning block 14 and the connecting tube 13. The positioning spring 15 always keeps pressure on the positioning block 14, so that the positioning block 14 always contacts the side wall of the positioning sleeve 11, and when the limiting groove 12 on the positioning sleeve 11 faces the positioning block 14, the positioning block can contact the limiting groove 12, forming a card-connected positioning for the axial sliding of the rotating shaft 4, and the positioning block 14 is card-connected in the limiting groove 12. The positioning block 14 includes an integrally formed limit ball 141 and a sliding piece 142. The top of the limit ball 141 is concave-convexly matched with the cross-section of the limit groove 12. The sliding piece 142 is slidably connected inside the connecting tube 13. The positioning spring 15 is in contact between the sliding piece 142 and the connecting tube 13. A limit ring is arranged on the top of the connecting tube 13. The inner diameter of the limit ring is equal to the diameter of the limit ball 141. The inner diameter of the limit ring is smaller than the diameter of the sliding piece 142, which can prevent the positioning block 14 from slipping out of the connecting tube 13. A sliding spring 16 is connected between the shielding shell and the positioning sleeve 11. The sliding spring 16 can maintain a horizontal thrust on the positioning sleeve, and can reset the rotating shaft 4 after the positioning sleeve 11 rotates the limit groove 12 to disengage from the positioning block 14.

[0030] Working principle:

[0031] In the present invention, the shielding assembly can be fixed to the rear side of the display panel 1 by the positioning suction cup 7. At this time, it is maintained in the initial position in the sliding cylinder 3 under the action of the return spring 10, and the shielding plate 5 is kept in a vertical state at this initial position. In the process of gradually opening the display panel 1, the abutment wheel at the bottom of the sliding rack 9 abuts on the desktop and the sliding rack 9 slides upward in the sliding cylinder 3 under the pressure of the desktop. Through the mutual engagement of the sliding rack and the gear sleeve 8, the gear sleeve 8, the rotating shaft 4, and the positioning shaft sleeve 11 are driven to rotate relative to the mounting shell 2 as a whole. The gear sleeve 8 rotates with the gear sleeve 8 to form a shield in front of the camera on the front side of the display panel 1 to protect the privacy of the user. When the camera needs to be used, the shielding plate 5 can be manually toggled The plate slides horizontally, and at this time, the gear sleeve 8, the rotating shaft 4, and the positioning sleeve 11 slide horizontally on the mounting shell 2. During the sliding process, due to the rotation of the positioning sleeve 11, the limit groove 12 is facing the direction of the positioning block 14. Under the action of the positioning spring 15, the positioning block 14 protrudes the connecting tube 13 and is clamped in the limit groove 12. Manual lateral pressure will cause the limit card ball 141 to squeeze the limit spring to contract, so that the limit card ball 141 temporarily withdraws from the current limit groove 12 to form a temporary unlocking, which can realize the horizontal sliding of the gear sleeve 8, the rotating shaft 4, and the positioning sleeve 11 until the baffle plate 5 is staggered from the camera. At this time, the limit card ball 141 enters another limit groove 12 to form a limit, which can avoid resetting during the use of the camera and affect the user experience;

[0032] In addition, when the use of the laptop computer is finished, the display panel 1 is engaged, and the sliding rack 9 is reset under the action of the reset spring 10. Under the mutual meshing action of the sliding rack 9 and the gear sleeve 8, the gear sleeve 8, the rotating shaft 4, and the positioning sleeve 11 rotate in the opposite direction as a whole. During the rotation, the limit groove 12 rotates therewith until the limit groove 12 completely leaves the limit card ball 141, and the limit card ball 141 is squeezed into the connecting tube 13, and the positioning effect of the limit mechanism is unlocked. Under the action of the sliding spring 16, the gear sleeve 8, the rotating shaft 4, and the positioning sleeve 11 are reset by sliding horizontally as a whole. This process is carried out simultaneously with the engagement of the display panel 1, so that the shielding plate 5 of the laptop computer can still block the front of the camera when the laptop computer is used next time, avoiding the situation where the shielding plate 5 is forgotten to block the camera after using the camera, thereby maintaining user privacy.

[0033] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
