[0014] Figures 2-4 It is a schematic structural diagram of the privacy cover assembly and the decorative ring cover plate of the embodiment of the utility model from three different angles. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0015] The following further describes the utility model in detail with reference to the drawings and through embodiments. The following embodiments are explanations of the utility model, and the utility model is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0016] The embodiment of the utility model includes an outer shell 1, a privacy cover assembly 2, a lens module 3 and a decorative ring cover plate 4.

[0017] The lens module 3 is installed inside the outer shell 1. The decorative ring cover plate 4 is arranged in front of the lens module 3.

[0018] The privacy cover assembly 2 includes a dial ring 21, an inner lining plate 22, a privacy cover 23 and a lever 24. The privacy cover assembly 2 is arranged between the lens module 3 and the decorative ring cover plate 4.

[0019] The inner lining plate 22 is fixed inside the outer shell 1 by screws. A buckle 41 is fixed on the decorative ring cover plate 4, and an inner lining buckle groove 221 is opened on the inner lining plate 22. The buckle 41 is snap-fitted with the inner lining buckle groove 221 to fix the decorative ring cover plate 4 on the inner lining plate 22. A lens hole 224 is opened on the inner lining plate 22. The lens hole 224 is located in front of the lens module 3, and the lens module 3 can shoot external images through the lens hole 224.

[0020] The privacy cover 23 is provided with a privacy cover rotation hole 231. An inner lining rotation column 222 is fixed on the inner lining plate 22. The privacy cover rotation hole 231 and the inner lining rotation column 222 are rotationally connected, so that the privacy cover 23 is rotationally installed on the inner lining plate 22. The privacy cover 23 is located in front of the lens hole 224. By rotating the privacy cover 23, the opening and closing of the lens hole 224 are realized; the privacy cover 23 is divided into two parts and is arranged left and right.
