[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of camera equipment, and in particular to a camera device and electronic equipment. Background Art

[0002] As the functions of electronic devices continue to be enriched, most electronic devices are equipped with camera devices to enable users to communicate with other users via video or take photos.

[0003] When the user uses the camera device, he can operate the electronic device and turn on the camera through the electronic device to obtain image information through the camera. When the camera device is not in use, the user can also turn off the camera through the electronic device to stop the camera from obtaining image information.

[0004] However, the existing method of turning on and off the camera of the camera device cannot effectively protect the user's privacy, affecting the privacy security of the user when using the camera device and the electronic device. Utility Model Content

[0005] The embodiments of the present application provide a camera device and an electronic device, which can solve the technical problem that the opening and closing methods of the cameras of existing camera devices cannot effectively protect user privacy, affecting the privacy security of users when using the camera devices and electronic devices.

[0006] The first aspect of the present application provides a camera device, which includes a camera, a shielding mechanism and a driving mechanism; the shielding mechanism includes a first shielding member and a second shielding member; the driving mechanism is respectively connected to the first shielding member and the second shielding member; the driving mechanism drives the first shielding member and the second shielding member to move toward the camera to shield the camera; the driving mechanism drives the first shielding member and the second shielding member to move away from the camera to expose the camera.

[0007] An embodiment of the present application provides a camera device, which drives a first shielding member and a second shielding member in a shielding mechanism to move by using a driving mechanism, and drives the first shielding member and the second shielding member to move toward a camera to shield the camera. The first shielding member and the second shielding member can shield the shooting path of the camera by means of the first shielding member and the second shielding member, so that when a user does not need to use the camera function of the camera, the shooting path of the camera can be physically shielded by means of a physical structure, thereby effectively protecting the user's privacy and improving the privacy security of the user when using the camera device and the electronic device.

[0008] Furthermore, by using a driving mechanism to drive two shielding members (a first shielding member and a second shielding member) to physically block and expose the camera, the blocking area of ​​the camera can be adjusted by adjusting the distance between the first shielding member and the second shielding member according to the user's actual needs for the shooting path, thereby providing more control options for exposing or blocking the camera of the camera device, thereby being able to achieve different degrees of blocking of the camera, thereby improving the flexibility of use of the camera device.

[0009] In addition, by driving the first covering member and the second covering member through the driving mechanism to physically cover and expose the camera, the adjustment accuracy of the covering area of ​​the camera can be improved, thereby improving the adjustment accuracy of the size of the shooting path of the camera, and can improve the user experience of the user when using the camera device.

[0010] In one possible implementation, the driving mechanism includes a driving component and a transmission component that are interconnected; the transmission component is respectively connected to the first shielding member and the second shielding member; the driving component drives the transmission component to drive the first shielding member and the second shielding member to move toward the camera or away from the camera.

[0011] In this way, by setting the driving mechanism as a driving component and a transmission component, and driving the transmission component through the driving component to drive the first covering member and the second covering member to move toward the camera or away from the camera to physically cover the camera or expose the camera, the first covering member and the second covering member can be automatically driven, thereby improving the automation of physical covering of the camera device, improving the degree of automation of the camera device, and improving the practicability of the camera device and the electronic device.

[0012] In one possible implementation, the transmission assembly includes a first transmission member and a second transmission member; one end of the first transmission member is connected to the driving assembly, the other end of the first transmission member is connected to the first shielding member, one end of the second transmission member is connected to the driving assembly, and the other end of the second transmission member is connected to the second shielding member; the driving assembly drives the first transmission member and the second transmission member to move toward each other, so that the first shielding member and the second shielding member move toward each other.

[0013] In this way, the driving component drives the first covering member and the second covering member to move respectively by driving the first transmission member and the second transmission member, so as to realize the separate driving of the first covering member and the second covering member, and can realize precise control of the first covering member and the second covering member, ensuring that the first covering member and the second covering member can cover or expose the camera at the same time, so as to realize physical covering of the camera.

[0014] Furthermore, since the first shielding member is independently connected to the first transmission member, and the second shielding member is independently connected to the second transmission member, the synchronous movement of the first shielding member and the second shielding member can be ensured, avoiding the situation where one of the first shielding member and the second shielding member is exposed while the other blocks the camera, thereby maintaining the working stability of the camera device and the working stability of the electronic device.

[0015] In a possible implementation, the drive assembly includes two drive members and two drive shafts; the two drive members are a first drive member and a second drive member, and the two drive shafts are a first drive shaft and a second drive shaft; one end of the first drive shaft is connected to the first drive member, and the other end of the first drive shaft is connected to the first transmission member; one end of the second drive shaft is connected to the second drive member, and the other end of the second drive shaft is connected to the second drive member.

[0016] In this way, the driving component can realize the independent driving of the first transmission member and the second transmission member by using two driving members and two driving shafts, and then realize the independent driving of the first shielding member and the second shielding member, thereby improving the driving flexibility of the driving mechanism for the first shielding member and the second shielding member, and then improving the use flexibility of the camera device.

[0017] In a possible implementation, the drive assembly includes a drive member and two drive shafts; the two drive shafts are a first drive shaft and a second drive shaft, one end of the first drive shaft is connected to the drive member, the other end of the first drive shaft is connected to the first transmission member, one end of the second drive shaft is connected to the drive member, and the other end of the second drive shaft is connected to the second transmission member; the drive member drives the first transmission member and the second transmission member to move toward each other through the first drive shaft and the second drive shaft.

[0018] In this way, by using one driving member to drive two driving shafts, and using the two driving shafts to respectively drive the first transmission member and the second transmission member, compared with the case of using two driving members, the structure of the driving mechanism can be simplified, the manufacturing cost of the driving mechanism can be reduced, the space occupied by the driving mechanism in the camera device can be reduced, and the manufacturing cost of the camera device can be reduced.

[0019] In one possible implementation, the drive assembly includes a drive member and a drive shaft; the drive member is rotatably connected to the drive shaft; the drive shaft includes a first thread segment and a second thread segment with opposite thread winding directions, the first transmission member is connected to the first thread segment, and the second transmission member is connected to the second thread segment; when the drive member drives the drive shaft to rotate, the first thread segment drives the first transmission member to move back and forth along the axial direction of the drive shaft, and the second thread segment drives the second transmission member to move back and forth along the axial direction of the drive shaft, so that the first transmission member and the second transmission member move toward each other.

[0020] In this way, the driving component includes a driving member, and a first thread segment and a second thread segment with opposite thread winding directions are arranged on the driving shaft, and the first transmission member is rotatably connected to the first thread segment, and the second transmission member is rotatably connected to the second thread segment. It is possible to simultaneously drive the first transmission member and the second transmission member to reciprocate along the axial direction of the driving shaft through a driving member and a driving shaft, thereby simplifying the structure of the driving component on the basis of ensuring that the first transmission member and the second transmission member are driven to move, reducing the number of parts of the driving component, reducing the manufacturing cost of the driving component, and reducing the space occupied by the driving mechanism in the camera device, and further reducing the manufacturing cost of the camera device and the electronic equipment.

[0021] In one possible implementation, the driving mechanism further includes at least one guide member, which is parallel to the driving shaft and arranged at intervals; the guide member passes through the first transmission member and the second transmission member, and the guide member is used to guide the first transmission member and the second transmission member to move axially along the driving shaft.

[0022] In this way, the driving mechanism includes a guide member, and the guide member is connected to the first transmission member and the second transmission member. In the process of the driving member driving the first transmission member and the second transmission member to move, the guide member can further guide the first transmission member and the second transmission member to move along the axial direction of the driving shaft, thereby reducing the probability of the driving shaft shaking or deflecting during the movement, and reducing the problem of the first transmission member and the second transmission member moving and deflecting during the movement, thereby improving the stability of the first transmission member and the second transmission member during movement, improving the working stability of the driving mechanism, and improving the working stability of the camera device and the electronic equipment.

[0023] In one possible implementation, there are two guide members, which are a first guide member and a second guide member. In the axial direction perpendicular to the drive shaft, the first guide member, the second guide member and the drive shaft are arranged at intervals; and the drive shaft is located between the first guide member and the second guide member.

[0024] In this way, by arranging two guide members on both sides of the driving shaft, better support and guiding effects can be provided for the first transmission member and the second transmission member, thereby increasing the working stability of the first transmission member and the second transmission member, preventing the movement of the first transmission member and the second transmission member from being offset due to shaking or offset of the driving shaft, and further improving the stability of the first transmission member and the second transmission member during movement.

[0025] Furthermore, arranging two guide members on both sides of the driving shaft can also balance the forces on the guide members, and distribute the deviation and vibration during the rotation of the driving shaft to the two guide members, thereby improving the working efficiency of the driving mechanism and extending the service life of the driving mechanism.

[0026] In one possible implementation, an end of the first shielding member facing the second shielding member is a first end, and an end of the second shielding member facing the first shielding member is a second end. When the first shielding member and the second shielding member are close to each other and abut against each other, the first end and the second end are aligned with each other or approximately aligned with each other.

[0027] In this way, by aligning the first end and the second end with each other or approximately aligning with each other when the first covering member and the second covering member are close to and abut against each other, it is more beautiful than the situation where the first end and the second end are staggered, thereby improving the overall aesthetics of the camera device and being able to improve the user experience.

[0028] Furthermore, compared with the situation in the prior art where the first end and the second end are staggered, by aligning the first end and the second end with each other, the sealing performance of the joint between the first end and the second end can be improved, thereby reducing the light passing through the joint between the first end and the second end, and improving the shielding effect of the first shielding member and the second shielding member on the camera.

[0029] In one possible implementation, the camera device also includes a first connecting plate and a second connecting plate; the driving mechanism connects the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate respectively; the first shielding member is connected to the first connecting plate, and the second shielding member is connected to the second connecting plate; the driving mechanism drives the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate to move toward each other, so that the first shielding member and the second shielding member move toward the camera or away from the camera.

[0030] In this way, by setting the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate, and setting the first shielding member on the first connecting plate and the second shielding member on the second connecting plate, the connection stability of the first shielding member and the second shielding member can be improved, the probability of the first shielding member and the second shielding member moving or deviating during movement can be reduced, and the stability of the first shielding member and the second shielding member during movement can be improved, thereby improving the working stability of the camera device.

[0031] In one possible implementation, the camera device also includes a shell, the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate are arranged inside the shell, and the first shielding member and the second shielding member are arranged outside the shell; a first through groove and a second through groove are opened on the shell, the first through groove extends along the moving direction of the first shielding member, and the second through groove extends along the moving direction of the second shielding member; the first shielding member is connected to the first connecting plate by the first through groove, and the second shielding member is connected to the second connecting plate by the second through groove.

[0032] In this way, by arranging the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate in the housing, the protection of the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate can be improved, and the probability of damage to the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate can be reduced. In addition, by providing the first through slot and the second through slot on the housing, it is convenient to connect the first connecting plate with the first shielding member, and it is also convenient to connect the second connecting plate with the second shielding member.

[0033] By extending the first through groove along the moving direction of the first shielding member and the second through groove along the moving direction of the second shielding member, it is possible to avoid the shell obstructing the movement of the first shielding member due to the inconsistency between the extending direction of the first through groove and the moving direction of the first shielding member, and it is possible to avoid the shell obstructing the movement of the second shielding member due to the inconsistency between the extending direction of the second through groove and the moving direction of the second shielding member, thereby improving the stability of the movement process of the first shielding member and the second shielding member, thereby improving the working stability of the camera device.

[0035] In this way, by using the first fixing member to pass through the first guide groove and clamping the first connecting plate between the first fixing member and the shell, the first connecting plate can be further guided to move in the moving direction of the first shielding member through the first guide groove, thereby improving the stability of the movement of the first shielding member.

[0036] Furthermore, by clamping the first connecting plate between the first fixing member and the shell, the first connecting plate can achieve damped sliding relative to the first fixing member and the shell, and the damped sliding method can effectively reduce the vibration or jumping of the first connecting plate during movement, reduce the vibration amplitude during movement of the first covering member, and reduce the influence of inertia and external disturbances during movement on the smoothness of the movement of the first connecting plate, thereby reducing the collision and friction between the first connecting plate and the first covering member and other structures in the camera device during movement, and improving the stability of the movement of the first connecting plate and the first covering member.

[0037] In one possible implementation, the first fixing member includes a first abutting portion and a first connecting portion, the connecting end of the first connecting portion passes through the first guide groove to connect to the shell, the surface of the first connecting plate facing the abutting portion has a first rib extending along the extension direction of the first guide groove, and the first abutting portion abuts against the first connecting plate through the first rib.

[0038] In this way, the first fixing member includes a first abutting portion and a first connecting portion, and the first connecting portion is connected to the shell, and the first abutting portion abuts against the first rib on the first connecting plate. While realizing the damped sliding of the first connecting plate, it can also reduce the contact area between the first abutting portion and the first connecting plate, thereby reducing the friction resistance between the first connecting plate and the first abutting portion, and further reducing the resistance of the first connecting plate during movement without affecting the damped sliding, thereby reducing the power consumption of the driving mechanism used to drive the first connecting plate, thereby reducing the power consumption of the camera device, and reducing the use cost of the camera device.

[0039] In one possible implementation, the camera device also includes at least one second fixing member; at least one second guide groove extending along the moving direction of the second shielding member is formed on the second connecting plate; the second fixing member passes through the second guide groove and is used to be connected to the shell, and the second guide groove is used to guide the second connecting plate to move relative to the second fixing member along the moving direction of the second shielding member; and / or when there are multiple second guide grooves, the multiple second guide grooves are arranged at intervals along the moving direction of the second shielding member.

[0040] In this way, by using the second fixing member to pass through the second guide groove and clamping the second connecting plate between the second fixing member and the shell, the second connecting plate can be further guided to move in the moving direction of the second shielding member through the second guide groove, thereby improving the stability of the movement of the second shielding member.

[0041] Furthermore, by clamping the second connecting plate between the second fixing member and the shell, the second connecting plate can be damped and slid relative to the second fixing member and the shell along the first direction, and the damped sliding method can effectively reduce the vibration or jumping of the second connecting plate during movement, reduce the vibration amplitude during movement of the second covering member, and reduce the influence of inertia and external disturbances during movement on the smoothness of the movement of the second connecting plate, thereby reducing the collision and friction between the second connecting plate and the second covering member and other structures in the camera device during movement, and improving the stability of the second connecting plate and the second covering member during movement.

[0043] In this way, the second fixing member includes a second abutting portion and a second connecting portion, and the second connecting portion is connected to the shell, and the second abutting portion abuts against the second rib on the second connecting plate. While realizing the damping sliding of the second connecting plate, it can also reduce the contact area between the second abutting portion and the second connecting plate, thereby reducing the friction resistance between the second connecting plate and the second abutting portion, and further reducing the resistance of the second connecting plate during movement without affecting the damping sliding, thereby reducing the power consumption of the driving mechanism used to drive the first connecting plate, thereby reducing the power consumption of the camera device, and reducing the use cost of the camera device.

[0044] In one possible implementation, the camera device also includes a shell and a cover plate; the shell has a mounting opening, the camera and the driving mechanism are arranged in the shell through the mounting opening, and the cover plate covers the mounting opening; a camera window is opened on the wall surface of the shell, the camera has a lens, and the lens faces the outside of the shell through the camera window.

[0045] In this way, by arranging the camera and the driving mechanism in the shell, the driving mechanism and the camera can be protected by the shell, reducing the probability of the driving mechanism and the camera being affected by the external environment and collision, and increasing the service life of the camera device.

[0046] Furthermore, placing the camera and the driving mechanism in the shell through the mounting opening can improve the convenience of assembling the camera device, and closing the mounting opening with a cover plate can improve the sealing of the mounting opening, reduce the probability of external debris entering the shell through the mounting opening, reduce the impact of external debris on the driving mechanism and the camera, improve the working stability of the driving mechanism and the camera, and thus improve the working stability of the camera device.

[0047] In a possible implementation, a first through groove and a second through groove are provided on the shell, wherein the first through groove extends along the moving direction of the first shielding member, and the second through groove extends along the moving direction of the second shielding member; the first shielding member is connected to the driving mechanism via the first through groove, and the second shielding member is connected to the driving mechanism via the second through groove.

[0053] Furthermore, by arranging the first guide rod in the first groove and the first guide portion in the first groove and connected to the first guide rod, the space occupied by the first guide rod and the first guide portion between the shell and the first shielding member can be reduced, thereby reducing the spacing distance between the first shielding member and the wall surface on the shell where the camera window is located, making the first shielding member closer to the shell, reducing the probability of debris entering the gap between the first shielding member and the shell, and reducing the influence of debris on the movement process of the first shielding member.

[0100] The present application provides an electronic device, which includes but is not limited to a mobile phone (such as a straight-screen mobile phone or a foldable mobile phone), a tablet computer, a laptop computer, an ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), a handheld computer, a walkie-talkie, an Internet TV, a TV, a car-mounted device, a netbook, a POS machine, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a wearable device (such as a smart watch, a smart wristband, a virtual reality device, and the like) having a display device, and other mobile or fixed terminals.

[0101] Among them, in the embodiments of the present application, an Internet TV is taken as an example of the above-mentioned electronic device for explanation. The Internet TV can at least access the Internet, browse web pages, and play multimedia. It can also conduct remote network video communication and calls with other users through the camera device in the Internet TV.

[0102] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of an electronic device provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0103] refer to Figure 1 The electronic device may include a screen assembly 20, a camera device 10 and a processing device, and both the screen assembly 20 and the camera device 10 can be connected to the processing device. When a user uses an Internet TV to make a remote video call, the camera device 10 can obtain the user's image information and audio data, and transmit the user's image information and audio information to the call object through the processing device.

[0104] In some embodiments, the user can select the icon of the camera device 10 displayed on the screen component 20 through a remote control, and further expose the camera device 10 through a processing device. Similarly, the user can also select the close icon displayed on the screen component 20 and close the camera device 10 through the processing device, thereby completing the closing or exposing of the camera device 10 through an electronic device.

[0105] However, the existing method of turning on and off the camera of the camera device 10 cannot effectively protect the user's privacy, affecting the privacy security of the user when using the camera device 10 and the electronic device.

[0106] refer to Figure 1The main reason for this problem is that the camera device 10 in the prior art does not have a structure that can physically shield the camera, so it is impossible to effectively protect the privacy security of the user when using the camera device 10 and the electronic device.

[0107] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In view of the above technical problems, the present application provides a camera device 10 and an electronic device, wherein the camera device 10 includes a camera head 100, a shielding mechanism 200 and a driving mechanism 300. The shielding mechanism 200 includes a first shielding member 210 and a second shielding member 220, and the driving mechanism 300 is connected to the first shielding member 210 and the second shielding member 220 respectively. The driving mechanism 300 drives the first shielding member 210 and the second shielding member 220 to move toward the camera head 100 to shield the camera head 100. The driving mechanism 300 drives the first shielding member 210 and the second shielding member 220 to move away from the camera head 100 to expose the camera head 100.

[0108] In this way, the camera device 10 drives the first shielding member 210 and the second shielding member 220 in the shielding mechanism 200 to move by using the driving mechanism 300, and drives the first shielding member 210 and the second shielding member 220 to move toward the camera 100 to shield the camera 100. The first shielding member 210 and the second shielding member 220 can be used to shield the shooting path of the camera 100, so that when the user does not need to use the camera function of the camera 100, the shooting path of the camera 100 can be physically blocked through the physical structure, thereby effectively protecting the user's privacy and improving the privacy security of the user when using the camera device 10 and electronic equipment.

[0109] Furthermore, the camera device 10 uses a driving mechanism 300 to drive two shielding members (a first shielding member 210 and a second shielding member 220) to physically shield and expose the camera 100. According to the actual needs of the user for the shooting path, the shielding area of ​​the camera 100 can be adjusted by adjusting the distance between the first shielding member 210 and the second shielding member 220, thereby providing more control options for exposing or shielding the camera 100 of the camera device 10, thereby being able to achieve different degrees of shielding of the camera 100, thereby improving the flexibility of use of the camera device 10.

[0110] In addition, the camera device 10 drives the first covering member 210 and the second covering member 220 through the driving mechanism 300 to physically cover and expose the camera 100, which can also improve the adjustment accuracy of the covering area of ​​the camera 100, thereby improving the adjustment accuracy of the size of the shooting path of the camera 100, and can improve the user experience of the user when using the camera device 10.

[0111] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the embodiments of the present application more obvious and understandable, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work belong to the scope of protection of this application.

[0112] refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The present application provides a camera device 10, which may include a camera head 100, a shielding mechanism 200, and a driving mechanism 300. The shielding mechanism 200 may include a first shielding member 210 and a second shielding member 220, and the driving mechanism 300 is connected to the first shielding member 210 and the second shielding member 220 respectively, and the driving mechanism 300 can drive the first shielding member 210 and the second shielding member 220 to move toward the camera head 100 (moving direction is as shown in FIG. Figure 2 and Figure 3 ). Under the drive of the driving mechanism 300 , the first shielding member 210 and the second shielding member 220 can move to the shooting path of the camera 100 to block the shooting path of the camera 100 .

[0113] The driving mechanism 300 can drive the first shielding member 210 and the second shielding member 220 to move toward each other, for example, the driving mechanism 300 can drive the first shielding member 210 and the second shielding member 220 to move toward each other, or the driving mechanism 300 can drive the first shielding member 210 and the second shielding member 220 to move away from each other.

[0114] Compared with the method of driving a baffle to block and expose the camera 100 in the prior art, the first blocking member 210 and the second blocking member 220 are driven by the driving mechanism 300 to physically block and expose the camera 100. This can also improve the adjustment accuracy of the blocking area of ​​the camera 100, thereby improving the adjustment accuracy of the size of the shooting path of the camera 100, and can improve the user experience of the user when using the camera device 10.

[0115] The driving mechanism 300 drives the first shielding member 210 and the second shielding member 220 to move closer to each other and toward the camera 100 to shield the camera 100. The driving mechanism 300 drives the first shielding member 210 and the second shielding member 220 to move away from each other and away from the camera 100 to expose the camera 100, so that the first shielding member 210 and the second shielding member 220 can shield the shooting path of the camera 100, so that when the user does not need to use the camera function of the camera 100, the shooting path of the camera 100 can be physically shielded through the physical structure, thereby effectively protecting the user's privacy and improving the privacy security of the user when using the camera device 10 and the electronic device.

[0116] refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The driving mechanism 300 can drive the first shielding member 210 and the second shielding member 220 to reciprocate in opposite directions. For example, the driving mechanism 300 can drive the first shielding member 210 to move closer to the camera 100 or move away from the camera 100.

[0117] The driving mechanism 300 can also drive the first shielding member 210 and the second shielding member 220 to stop at any position within the moving range. Therefore, under the drive of the driving mechanism 300, the first shielding member 210 and the second shielding member 220 can at least partially shield the camera 100, thereby shielding at least part of the shooting path of the camera 100.

[0118] By using the driving mechanism 300 to drive two shielding members (the first shielding member 210 and the second shielding member 220) to physically shield and expose the camera 100, the shielding area of ​​the camera 100 can be adjusted by adjusting the distance between the first shielding member 210 and the second shielding member 220 according to the user's actual needs for the shooting path, thereby providing more control options for exposing or shielding the camera 100 of the camera device 10, thereby achieving different degrees of shielding of the camera 100, thereby improving the flexibility of use of the camera device 10.

[0119] refer to Figure 2 In some embodiments, the end of the first shielding member 210 facing the second shielding member 220 is the first end 211, and the end of the second shielding member 220 facing the first shielding member 210 is the second end 221. When the first shielding member 210 and the second shielding member 220 are close to each other and abut against each other, the first end 211 and the second end 221 are aligned with each other or approximately aligned with each other.

[0120] It is understandable that, due to the dimensional tolerance of the first shielding member 210 and the second shielding member 220 during the manufacturing process, the first end 211 of the first shielding member 210 and the second end 221 of the second shielding member 220 are not completely aligned, but in this case, the first end 211 and the second end 221 can be regarded as approximately aligned with each other. For example, there may be a gap between the first end 211 and the second end 221 due to the dimensional tolerance, and the gap may be caused by the uneven end surfaces of the first shielding member 210 and the second shielding member 220 during the processing, which will cause a certain gap to be generated when the first end 211 and the second end 221 are connected to each other, but because the gap is too small, the lens of the camera 100 obtains less image information through the gap. Therefore, the first shielding member 210 and the second shielding member 220 will not affect the shielding effect of the camera 100, and because the gap is too small, for example, the gap may be only 0.1mm or 0.05mm, it will not have a significant impact on the aesthetics after the first end 211 and the second end 221 are aligned.

[0121] In this way, when the first covering member 210 and the second covering member 220 are close to and abut against each other, the first end 211 and the second end 221 are aligned with each other or approximately aligned with each other, which is more beautiful than the situation where the first end 211 and the second end 221 are staggered with each other, thereby improving the overall aesthetics of the camera device 10 and being able to improve the user experience.

[0122] Furthermore, compared with the situation in the prior art where the first end 211 and the second end 221 are staggered with each other, by aligning the first end 211 and the second end 221 with each other or approximately aligning with each other, the sealing performance of the joint between the first end 211 and the second end 221 can be improved, thereby reducing the light passing through the joint between the first end 211 and the second end 221, and improving the shielding effect of the first shielding member 210 and the second shielding member 220 on the camera 100.

[0123] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, when the first shielding member 210 and the second shielding member 220 block the shooting path of the camera 100, the projections of the first shielding member 210 and the second shielding member 220 completely cover or nearly completely cover the projection of the shell 500 in a direction perpendicular to the plane where the camera window 540 is located.

[0124] It can be understood that if the wall where the camera window 540 is located is the front, when the first shielding member 210 and the second shielding member 220 completely shield the camera 100, the user can at least observe the camera device 10 from the front, and can only see the first shielding member 210 and the second shielding member 220 of the camera device 10, but cannot see other structures on the housing 500. At this time, it can be understood that when the user observes the camera device 10 in the state of shielding the camera 100 from the front, the first shielding member 210 and the second shielding member 220 can completely shield the housing 500 of the camera device 10.

[0125] In this way, when the first shielding piece 210 and the second shielding piece 220 abut against and completely block the shooting path of the camera 100, the first shielding piece 210 and the second shielding piece 220 can almost completely block the wall surface where the camera window 540 is located on the shell 500, thereby improving the flatness and neatness of the surface of the camera device 10 facing the camera window 540, thereby improving the aesthetics and user experience.

[0126] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the first shielding member 210 includes a first baffle 213 and a second baffle 214 connected to each other, the plane where the first baffle 213 is located is perpendicular to the plane where the second baffle 214 is located, the camera window 540 is opened on the side wall of the housing 500, the first baffle 213 is covered on the side wall of the housing 500, and the second baffle 214 is connected to the driving mechanism 300 from the top of the housing 500. Among them, the first baffle 213 is mainly used to block the shooting path of the camera 100.

[0127] In this way, the first baffle 210 may include a first baffle 213 and a second baffle 214, and the first baffle 213 is perpendicular to the second baffle 214. The first baffle 213 is arranged on the side wall where the camera window 540 is located, and the second baffle 214 is arranged on the top of the shell 500 and connected to the driving mechanism 300. The second baffle 214 can block the gap between the first baffle 213 and the side wall of the shell 500 from the top of the shell 500, which can reduce the probability of external debris entering the gap between the first baffle 210 and the side wall of the shell 500 from the top of the shell 500.

[0128] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the second shielding member 220 may include a third baffle 223 and a fourth baffle 224 connected to each other, the plane where the third baffle 223 is located is perpendicular to the plane where the fourth baffle 224 is located, the third baffle 223 is covered on the side wall of the housing 500, and the fourth baffle 224 is connected to the driving mechanism 300 through the top of the housing 500. The third baffle 223 is mainly used to block the shooting path of the camera 100.

[0129] In this way, the second baffle 220 can include a third baffle 223 and a fourth baffle 224, and the third baffle 223 is perpendicular to the fourth baffle 224. The third baffle 223 is arranged on the side wall where the camera window 540 is located, and the fourth baffle 224 is arranged on the top of the shell 500 and connected to the driving mechanism 300. The second baffle 214 can block the gap between the first baffle 213 and the side wall of the shell 500 from the top of the shell 500, which can reduce the probability of external debris entering the gap between the second baffle 220 and the side wall of the shell 500 from the top of the shell 500.

[0130] In some embodiments, the first baffle 213 of the first shielding member 210 and the third baffle 223 of the second shielding member 220 are used together to shield the camera 100, while the second baffle 214 of the first shielding member 210 and the fourth baffle 224 of the second shielding member 220 are respectively used to connect to the driving mechanism 300 and cover the top of the shell 500.

[0131] refer to Figure 4 In some embodiments, the camera device 10 may further include a housing 500 and a cover plate 500a. The housing 500 has an installation opening 530, and the camera 100 and the driving mechanism 300 are arranged in the housing 500 through the installation opening 530, and the cover plate 500a is covered on the installation opening 530. A camera window 540 is opened on the wall of the housing 500, and the camera 100 has a lens, which faces the outside of the housing 500 through the camera window 540. In some examples, the driving mechanism 300 can be arranged on the side of the camera 100 that is away from the camera window 540.

[0132] In this way, by arranging the camera 100 and the driving mechanism 300 in the shell 500, the driving mechanism 300 and the camera 100 can be protected by the shell 500, reducing the probability of the driving mechanism 300 and the camera 100 being affected by the external environment and collision, and improving the service life of the camera device 10.

[0133] Furthermore, placing the camera 100 and the driving mechanism 300 in the shell 500 through the mounting opening 530 can improve the assembly convenience of the camera device 10, and closing the mounting opening 530 with the cover plate 500a can improve the sealing of the mounting opening 530, reduce the probability of external debris entering the shell 500 through the mounting opening 530, reduce the influence of external debris on the driving mechanism 300 and the camera 100, improve the working stability of the driving mechanism 300 and the camera 100, and thus improve the working stability of the camera device 10.

[0134] In some examples, the installation opening 530 can be opened at the bottom of the housing 500, so that the components of the camera 100, the driving mechanism 300, etc. in the camera device 10 can be arranged in the housing 500 through the installation opening 530 at the bottom, which is convenient for installing other components in the housing 500. The cover plate 500a can be detachably connected to the housing 500 by screws to improve the connection stability between the housing 500 and the cover plate 500a, and prevent the driving mechanism 300 and other components from falling out of the installation opening 530.

[0135] refer to Figure 4 In some embodiments, the driving mechanism 300 may include a driving assembly 310 and a transmission assembly 320 connected to each other. The transmission assembly 320 and the driving assembly 310 may be disposed inside the housing 500 .

[0136] The transmission assembly 320 is respectively connected to the first shielding member 210 and the second shielding member 220. The driving assembly 310 can generate a driving force to drive the transmission assembly 320 to move. Driven by the transmission assembly 320, the first shielding member 210 and the second shielding member 220 move toward the camera 100 to physically shield the camera 100, or the first shielding member 210 and the second shielding member 220 move back to the camera 100 to expose the camera 100.

[0137] In this way, by setting the driving mechanism 300 as a driving component 310 and a transmission component 320, and driving the transmission component 320 through the driving component 310 to drive the first covering member 210 and the second covering member 220 to move toward the camera 100 or move away from the camera 100 to achieve physical covering of the camera 100 or expose the camera 100, the first covering member 210 and the second covering member 220 can be automatically driven, thereby improving the automation of the physical covering of the camera device 10, improving the degree of automation of the camera device 10, and improving the practicality of the camera device 10 and the electronic device.

[0138] In one possible implementation, the drive assembly 310 may have at least one drive structure, and the transmission assembly 320 may have at least one transmission structure, so as to drive the first shielding member 210 and the second shielding member 220 to move by driving one transmission structure with one drive structure.

[0139] In some embodiments, the driving mechanism 300 can include a driving assembly 310, and the driving assembly 310 can be directly connected to the first shielding member 210 and the second shielding member 220. For example, the first shielding member 210 and the second shielding member 220 can be provided with a connecting structure, and the driving assembly 310 is connected to the first shielding member 210 and the second shielding member 220 through the connecting structure. In this way, the number of internal parts of the driving mechanism 300 can be reduced, thereby simplifying the structure of the driving mechanism 300 and reducing the manufacturing cost of the driving mechanism 300 and the camera device 10.

[0140] refer to Figure 4 In some embodiments, the transmission assembly 320 may include a first transmission member 321 and a second transmission member 322. One end of the first transmission member 321 is connected to the driving assembly 310, and the other end of the first transmission member 321 is connected to the first shielding member 210, one end of the second transmission member 322 is connected to the driving assembly 310, and the other end of the second transmission member 322 is connected to the second shielding member 220.

[0141] The driving assembly 310 can simultaneously drive the first transmission member 321 and the second transmission member 322 to move toward each other, so that the first shielding member 210 and the second shielding member 220 move toward each other. The first transmission member 321 and the second transmission member 322 can move toward each other. For example, the driving assembly 310 can simultaneously drive the first transmission member 321 and the second transmission member 322 to approach each other, at which time, the first transmission member 321 and the second transmission member 322 drive the first shielding member 210 and the second shielding member 220 to approach each other to cover the camera 100. Alternatively, the driving assembly 310 can drive the first rotating member and the second transmission member 322 to move away from each other, at which time, the first transmission member 321 and the second transmission member 322 drive the first shielding member 210 and the second shielding member 220 to move away from each other to expose the camera 100.

[0142] In this way, the driving component 310 drives the first covering member 210 and the second covering member 220 to move respectively by driving the first transmission member 321 and the second transmission member 322, so as to realize the separate driving of the first covering member 210 and the second covering member 220, and can realize precise control of the first covering member 210 and the second covering member 220, ensuring that the first covering member 210 and the second covering member 220 can cover or expose at the same time, so as to realize physical shielding of the camera 100.

[0143] Furthermore, since the first shielding member 210 is independently connected to the first transmission member 321, and the second shielding member 220 is independently connected to the second transmission member 322, the synchronous movement of the first shielding member 210 and the second shielding member 220 can be ensured, avoiding the situation where one of the first shielding member 210 and the second shielding member 220 is exposed while the other closes the camera 100, thereby maintaining the working stability of the camera device 10 and the working stability of the electronic device.

[0144] refer to Figure 4 In a possible implementation, the driving assembly 310 may include two driving members 311 and two driving shafts 312. The two driving members 311 may be a first driving member and a second driving member, and the two driving shafts 312 may be a first driving shaft and a second driving shaft.

[0145] One end of the first drive shaft is connected to the first drive member, and the other end of the first drive shaft is connected to the first transmission member. One end of the second drive shaft is connected to the second drive member, and the other end of the second drive shaft is connected to the second drive member.

[0146] In this way, the driving component 310 can realize the independent driving of the first transmission member 321 and the second transmission member 322 by using two driving members 311 and two driving shafts 312, and further realize the independent driving of the first shielding member 210 and the second shielding member 220, thereby improving the driving flexibility of the driving mechanism 300 to the first shielding member 210 and the second shielding member 220, and further improving the use flexibility of the camera device 10.

[0147] In a possible implementation, the driving assembly may further include a driving member 311 and two driving shafts 312. The two driving shafts 312 may be a first driving shaft and a second driving shaft, one end of the first driving shaft is connected to the driving member 311, the other end of the first driving shaft is connected to the first transmission member 321, one end of the second driving shaft is connected to the driving member 311, and the other end of the second driving shaft is connected to the second transmission member 322. The driving member 311 drives the first transmission member 321 and the second transmission member 322 to move toward each other through the first driving shaft and the second driving shaft.

[0148] In this way, by using one driving member 311 to drive two driving shafts 312, and respectively driving the first transmission member 321 and the second transmission member 322 through the two driving shafts 312, compared with the case of using two driving members 311, the structure of the driving mechanism 300 can be simplified, the manufacturing cost of the driving mechanism 300 can be reduced, the space occupied by the driving mechanism 300 in the camera device can be reduced, and the manufacturing cost of the camera device 10 can be reduced.

[0149] Continue to refer Figure 4In a specific implementation, the driving assembly 310 may include a driving member 311 and a driving shaft 312. The driving member 311 may be a rotating motor. The driving member 311 is rotatably connected to the driving shaft 312, and the driving member 311 can drive the driving shaft 312 to rotate.

[0150] The driving shaft 312 may include a first thread segment 312a and a second thread segment 312b having opposite thread winding directions, and the first thread segment 312a and the second thread segment 312b are wound on the outer peripheral side of the driving shaft 312 along the axial direction of the driving shaft 312. The first thread segment 312a can be away from the driving member 311 relative to the second thread segment 312b, the first transmission member 321 is connected to the first thread segment 312a, and the second transmission member 322 is connected to the second thread segment 312b.

[0151] The first transmission member 321 has a threaded hole matched with the first thread segment 312a, and the second transmission member 322 also has a threaded hole matched with the second thread segment 312b. When the driving member 311 drives the driving shaft 312 to rotate, the first thread segment 312a drives the first transmission member 321 to reciprocate along the axial direction of the driving shaft 312, and the second thread segment 312b drives the second transmission member 322 to reciprocate along the axial direction of the driving shaft 312, so that the first transmission member 321 and the second transmission member 322 move toward each other.

[0152] In this way, when there is a driving member 311, and a first thread segment 312a and a second thread segment 312b with opposite thread winding directions are arranged on the driving shaft 312, so that the first transmission member 321 is rotatably connected to the first thread segment 312a, and the second transmission member 322 is rotatably connected to the second thread segment 312b, it is possible to simultaneously drive the first transmission member 321 and the second transmission member 322 to reciprocate along the axial direction of the driving shaft 312 through a driving member 311 and a driving shaft 312, so that on the basis of ensuring that the first transmission member 321 and the second transmission member 322 are driven to move, the structure of the driving component 310 can be further simplified, the number of parts of the driving component 310 can be reduced, the manufacturing cost of the driving component 310 can be reduced, and the space occupied by the driving mechanism 300 in the camera device 10 can be reduced, and the manufacturing cost of the camera device 10 and the electronic device can be further reduced.

[0153] refer to Figure 4 In some examples, the driving mechanism 300 may further include at least one guide member 330, which is parallel to and spaced from the driving shaft 312. The guide member 330 is disposed through the first transmission member 321 and the second transmission member 322, and is used to guide the first transmission member 321 and the second transmission member 322 to move along the axial direction of the driving shaft 312.

[0154] In this way, the driving mechanism 300 may include a guide member 330 and connect the guide member 330 with the first transmission member 321 and the second transmission member 322. In the process of the driving member 311 driving the first transmission member 321 and the second transmission member 322 to move, the guide member 330 can further guide the first transmission member 321 and the second transmission member 322 to move axially along the driving shaft 312, thereby reducing the probability of the driving shaft 312 shaking or deflecting during the movement, and reducing the problem of the first transmission member 321 and the second transmission member 322 moving during the movement, thereby improving the stability of the first transmission member 321 and the second transmission member 322 during movement, improving the working stability of the driving mechanism 300, and improving the working stability of the camera device 10 and the electronic device.

[0155] In one possible implementation, the guide member 330 can be a guide rod, which is arranged parallel to the drive shaft 312. The guide rod is simultaneously passed through the first transmission member 321 and the second transmission member 322. The guide rod can be fixed in the shell 500, and the first transmission member 321 and the second transmission member 322 can slide relative to the guide rod so that the first transmission member 321 and the second transmission member 322 can move axially along the drive shaft 312 under the guidance of the guide rod.

[0156] refer to Figure 4 In a possible implementation, the guide member 330 has two guide members 330, the two guide members 330 are a first guide member 331 and a second guide member 332, which are perpendicular to the axial direction of the drive shaft 312 (such as Figure 4 As shown by the middle arrow Y, the first guide member 331 , the second guide member 332 and the driving shaft 312 are arranged at intervals, and the driving shaft 312 can be located between the first guide member 331 and the second guide member 332 .

[0157] In this way, by arranging two guide members 330 on both sides of the driving shaft 312, better support and guiding effects can be provided for the first transmission member 321 and the second transmission member 322, thereby increasing the working stability of the first transmission member 321 and the second transmission member 322, preventing the movement of the first transmission member 321 and the second transmission member 322 from being offset due to shaking or offset of the driving shaft 312, and further improving the stability of the first transmission member 321 and the second transmission member 322 during movement.

[0158] Furthermore, arranging two guide members 330 on both sides of the driving shaft 312 along the second direction can also balance the force on the guide members 330, and share the deviation and vibration during the rotation of the driving shaft 312 to the two guide members 330, thereby improving the working efficiency of the driving mechanism 300 and extending the service life of the driving mechanism 300.

[0159] refer to Figure 4In some embodiments, the camera device 10 may further include a first connecting plate 400a and a second connecting plate 400b. The driving mechanism 300 is connected to the first connecting plate 400a and the second connecting plate 400b, respectively. The first shielding member 210 is connected to the first connecting plate 400a, and the second shielding member 220 is connected to the second connecting plate 400b. The driving mechanism 300 drives the first connecting plate 400a and the second connecting plate 400b to move toward each other along the first direction, so that the first shielding member 210 and the second shielding member 220 move toward the camera 100 or away from the camera 100.

[0160] In this way, by setting the first connecting plate 400a and the second connecting plate 400b, and making the first shielding member 210 set on the first connecting plate 400a, and the second shielding member 220 set on the second connecting plate 400b, the connection stability of the first shielding member 210 and the second shielding member 220 can be improved, and the probability of the first shielding member 210 and the second shielding member 220 moving or shifting during movement can be reduced, and the stability of the first shielding member 210 and the second shielding member 220 during movement can be improved, thereby improving the working stability of the camera device 10.

[0161] In some embodiments, if the driving mechanism 300 includes a driving component 310 and a transmission component 320, and the transmission component 320 includes a first transmission member 321 and a second transmission member 322, then the first transmission member 321 can be connected to the first connecting plate 400a, and the second transmission member 322 can be connected to the second connecting plate 400b. The driving component 310 drives the first connecting plate 400a to move by driving the first transmission member 321, and then drives the first shielding member 210 to move through the first connecting plate 400a.

[0162] Similarly, the second transmission member 322 can be connected to the second connecting plate 400b, and the driving component 310 drives the second connecting plate 400b to move by driving the second transmission member 322, and then drives the second shielding member 220 to move through the second connecting plate 400b.

[0163] In an exemplary embodiment, the first transmission member 321 and the first connecting plate 400a can be connected in a detachable manner. For example, the first transmission member 321 and the first connecting plate 400a can be detachably connected by screws, or the first transmission member 321 and the first connecting plate 400a can also be detachably connected by buckles.

[0164] Similarly, the second transmission member 322 and the second connecting plate 400b can be connected in a detachable manner. For example, the second transmission member 322 and the second connecting plate 400b can be detachably connected by screws, or the second transmission member 322 and the second connecting plate 400b can also be detachably connected by buckles.

[0165] Continue to refer Figure 4 In some embodiments, if the camera device 10 may include a housing 500, the first connecting plate 400a and the second connecting plate 400b are disposed inside the housing 500, and the first shielding member 210 and the second shielding member 220 are disposed outside the housing 500. The housing 500 is provided with a first through slot 510 and a second through slot 520, the first through slot 510 extending along the moving direction of the first shielding member 210, and the second through slot 520 extending along the moving direction of the second shielding member 220. The first shielding member 210 is connected to the first connecting plate 400a by the first through slot 510, and the second shielding member 220 is connected to the second connecting plate 400b by the second through slot 520.

[0166] Thus, by arranging the first connecting plate 400a and the second connecting plate 400b in the housing 500, the protection of the first connecting plate 400a and the second connecting plate 400b can be improved, and the probability of the first connecting plate 400a and the second connecting plate 400b being damaged can be reduced. In addition, by providing the first through slot 510 and the second through slot 520 on the housing 500, the connection between the first connecting plate 400a and the first shielding member 210 can be facilitated, and the connection between the second connecting plate 400b and the second shielding member 220 can also be facilitated.

[0167] By extending the first through slot 510 along the moving direction of the first shielding member 210 and the second through slot 520 along the moving direction of the second shielding member 220, it is possible to avoid the shell 500 obstructing the movement of the first shielding member 210 due to the inconsistency between the extending direction of the first through slot 510 and the moving direction of the first shielding member 210, and it is possible to avoid the shell 500 obstructing the movement of the second shielding member 220 due to the inconsistency between the extending direction of the second through slot 520 and the moving direction of the second shielding member 220, thereby improving the stability of the movement of the first shielding member 210 and the second shielding member 220, and thereby improving the working stability of the camera device 10.

[0168] In some embodiments, the camera device 10 may not be provided with 400a and the second connecting plate 400b, and the driving mechanism 300 can be directly connected to the first shielding member 210 and the second shielding member 220, and the driving mechanism 300 can directly drive the first shielding member 210 and the second shielding member 220 to move toward each other. The first shielding member 210 and the second shielding member 220 can have a connecting structure connected to the driving mechanism 300, and the housing 500 is provided with a first through slot 510 corresponding to the first shielding member 210 and a second through slot 520 corresponding to the second shielding member 220. The connecting structure on the first shielding member 210 passes through the first through slot 510 to connect to the driving mechanism 300, and the connecting structure on the second shielding member 220 passes through the second through slot 520 to connect to the driving mechanism 300.

[0169] Continue to refer Figure 4 In some embodiments, the camera device 10 may further include at least one first fixing member 600a. The first connecting plate 400a is provided with at least one first guide groove 410a extending along the moving direction of the first shielding member 210. The first fixing member 600a passes through the first guide groove 410a and is used to be connected to the housing 500. The first guide groove 410a is used to guide the first connecting plate 400a to move relative to the first fixing member 600a along the moving direction of the first shielding member 210.

[0170] In an exemplary embodiment, when there are multiple first guide grooves 410a, the multiple first guide grooves 410a are arranged at intervals along the moving direction of the first shielding member 210. When there are multiple first guide grooves 410a, there are also multiple first fixing members 600a, and each first guide groove 410a is penetrated by at least one first fixing member 600a.

[0171] In this way, by using the first fixing member 600a to pass through the first guide groove 410a, and clamping the first connecting plate 400a between the first fixing member 600a and the shell 500, the first connecting plate 400a can be further guided by the first guide groove 410a to move along the moving direction of the first shielding member 210, thereby improving the stability and accuracy of the movement of the first shielding member 210.

[0172] Furthermore, by clamping the first connecting plate 400a between the first fixing member 600a and the shell 500, the first connecting plate 400a can be damped slid relative to the first fixing member 600a and the shell 500 along the first direction, and the damped sliding method can effectively reduce the vibration or jumping of the first connecting plate 400a during the movement, reduce the vibration amplitude of the first covering member 210 during the movement, and reduce the influence of inertia and external disturbances during the movement on the smoothness of the movement of the first connecting plate 400a, thereby reducing the collision and friction between the first connecting plate 400a and the first covering member 210 and other structures in the camera device 10 during the movement, and improving the stability of the first connecting plate 400a and the first covering member 210 during the movement.

[0173] Continue to refer Figure 4 In some embodiments, the camera device 10 may further include at least one second fixing member 600b. The second connecting plate 400b is provided with at least one second guide groove 410b extending along the moving direction of the second shielding member 220. The second fixing member 600b passes through the second guide groove 410b and is used to be connected to the housing 500. The second guide groove 410b is used to guide the second connecting plate 400b to move relative to the second fixing member 600b along the moving direction of the second shielding member 220.

[0174] In some embodiments, when there are multiple second guide grooves 410b, the multiple second guide grooves 410b are arranged at intervals along the first direction. When there are multiple second guide grooves 410b, there are also multiple second fixing members 600b, and each second guide groove is penetrated by at least one second fixing member 600b.

[0175] In this way, by using the second fixing member 600b to pass through the second guide groove 410b, and clamping the second connecting plate 400b between the second fixing member 600b and the shell 500, the second connecting plate 400b can be further guided by the second guide groove 410b to move along the moving direction of the second shielding member 220, thereby improving the stability and accuracy of the movement of the second shielding member 220.

[0176] Furthermore, by clamping the second connecting plate 400b between the second fixing member 600b and the shell 500, the second connecting plate 400b can be damped slid relative to the second fixing member 600b and the shell 500 along the first direction, and the damped sliding method can effectively reduce the vibration or jumping of the second connecting plate 400b during the movement, reduce the vibration amplitude of the second covering member 220 during the movement, and reduce the influence of inertia and external disturbances during the movement on the smoothness of the movement of the second connecting plate 400b, thereby reducing the collision and friction between the second connecting plate 400b and the second covering member 220 and other structures in the camera device 10 during the movement, and improving the stability of the second connecting plate 400b and the second covering member 220 during the movement.

[0178] In this way, the first fixing member 600a may include a first abutting portion 610a and a first connecting portion 620a, and the first connecting portion 620a is connected to the shell 500. The first abutting portion 610a abuts against the first rib 420a on the first connecting plate 400a, which can achieve damped sliding of the first connecting plate 400a while reducing the contact area between the first abutting portion 610a and the first connecting plate 400a, thereby reducing the friction resistance between the first connecting plate 400a and the first abutting portion 610a, and further reducing the resistance of the first connecting plate 400a during movement without affecting the damped sliding, thereby reducing the power consumption of the driving mechanism 300 for driving the first connecting plate 400a, thereby reducing the power consumption of the camera device 10, and reducing the use cost of the camera device 10.

[0179] Continue to refer Figure 4 In some embodiments, the second fixing member 600b may include a second abutting portion 610b and a second connecting portion 620b, and the connecting end of the second connecting portion 620b passes through the second guide groove 410b to connect to the housing 500. The surface of the second connecting plate 400b facing the abutting portion has a second rib 420b extending along the extending direction of the second guide groove 410b, and the second abutting portion 610b abuts against the second connecting plate 400b through the second rib 420b.

[0180] In this way, the second fixing member 600b may include a second abutting portion 610b and a second connecting portion 620b, and the second connecting portion 620b is connected to the shell 500. The second abutting portion 610b abuts against the second rib 420b on the second connecting plate 400b, which can achieve damping sliding of the second connecting plate 400b while reducing the contact area between the second abutting portion 610b and the second connecting plate 400b, thereby reducing the friction resistance between the second connecting plate 400b and the second abutting portion 610b, and further reducing the resistance of the second connecting plate 400b during movement without affecting the damping sliding, thereby reducing the power consumption of the driving mechanism 300 for driving the first connecting plate 400a, thereby reducing the power consumption of the camera device 10, and reducing the use cost of the camera device 10.

The guide assembly 700 is respectively connected to the first shielding member 210 and the second shielding member 220. The guide assembly 700 extends along the moving direction of the first shielding member 210. The guide assembly 700 is used to guide the first shielding member 210 and the second shielding member 220 to move toward or away from the camera 100.

[0182] In this way, by setting a guide assembly 700 extending along the moving direction of the first shielding member 210 on the shell 500, and connecting the first shielding member 210 and the second shielding member 220, the first shielding member 210 and the second shielding member 220 can be guided by the guide assembly 700 to move toward or away from the camera 100, thereby improving the stability of the first shielding member 210 and the second shielding member 220 moving along the first direction, thereby improving the working stability of the camera device 10.

[0183] refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the guide assembly 700 may include a first guide rod 710. A first groove 550 is formed on the wall of the housing 500 facing the camera window 540, and the first guide rod 710 is disposed in the first groove 550. The first shielding member 210 has a first guide portion 212, and the first guide portion 212 is disposed in the first groove 550. The first guide rod 710 passes through the first guide portion 212. The first guide rod 710 guides the first shielding member 210 to move toward or away from the camera 100 by guiding the first guide portion 212.

[0184] In this way, by setting a first guide rod 710 extending along the first direction in the first groove 550, the first guide rod 710 is movably connected to the first guide portion 212, so that the first guide rod 710 can guide the first guide portion 212 to move, and then the first guide rod 710 can guide the first covering member 210 to move toward the camera 100 or away from the camera 100, thereby improving the accuracy and stability of the movement of the first covering member 210 in the first direction, and improving the working stability of the camera device 10.

[0185] Furthermore, by disposing the first guide rod 710 in the first groove 550 and the first guide portion 212 in the first groove 550 and connected to the first guide rod 710, the space occupied by the first guide rod 710 and the first guide portion 212 between the shell 500 and the first shielding member 210 can be reduced, thereby reducing the spacing distance between the first shielding member 210 and the wall surface on the shell 500 where the camera window 540 is located, making the first shielding member 210 closer to the shell 500, reducing the probability of debris entering the gap between the first shielding member 210 and the shell 500, and reducing the influence of debris on the movement process of the first shielding member 210.

[0186] In some embodiments, the first guide portion 212 and the first shielding member 210 may be an integral injection molding structure. The first guide portion 212 has a through hole, and the first guide rod 710 is disposed in the through hole. During the movement of the first shielding member 210, the first guide rod 710 can guide the first shielding member 210 to move toward the camera 100 or away from the camera 100.

The second shielding member 220 has a second guide portion 222, and the second guide portion 222 is disposed in the second groove 560. The second guide rod 720 passes through the second guide portion 222. The second guide rod 720 guides the second shielding member 220 to move toward or away from the camera 100 by guiding the second guide portion 222.

[0188] In this way, by setting the second guide rod 720 in the second groove 560, the second guide rod 720 is movably connected to the second guide portion 222, so that the second guide rod 720 can guide the second guide portion 222 to move toward or away from the camera 100, and then the second guide rod 720 can guide the second shielding member 220 to move along the first direction, thereby improving the accuracy and stability of the movement of the second shielding member 220 in the first direction, and improving the working stability of the camera device 10.

[0189] Furthermore, by arranging the second guide rod 720 in the second groove 560 and the second guide portion 222 in the second groove 560 and connected to the second guide rod 720, the space occupied by the second guide rod 720 and the second guide portion 222 between the shell 500 and the second shielding member 220 can be reduced, thereby reducing the spacing distance between the second shielding member 220 and the wall surface of the shell 500 where the camera window 540 is located, making the second shielding member 220 closer to the shell 500, reducing the probability of debris entering the gap between the second shielding member 220 and the shell 500, and reducing the influence of debris on the movement process of the second shielding member 220.
