The disassembly and assembly by magnetic attraction are convenient, improving the convenience of user use. When the housing is connected to the pan-tilt device 7, it is convenient for users to adjust the area where the imaging device 61 collects images through the pan-tilt device 7, further improving the convenience of use.

[0042] In some illustrative embodiments, as Figure 2 shown, the side surface of the housing 1 is integrally formed with the pan-tilt device 7. The housing 1 and the pan-tilt device 7 can be integrally formed by processing methods such as injection molding or extrusion molding. The magnetic attraction device is also arranged at the bottom of the pan-tilt device. The magnetic attraction device includes a first magnet, and the first magnet can be arranged at the bottom of the pan-tilt device 7. The pan-tilt device 7 is adsorbed and installed on an external work surface by the magnetic force of the first magnet.

[0043] In some illustrative embodiments, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the housing 1 is detachably connected to the pan-tilt device 7. The first magnet can be arranged at the bottom of the housing 1 for connection with an external work surface. In this way, the housing 1 can be adsorbed and installed on an external work surface by the magnetic force of the first magnet at the bottom.

It can be understood that the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto.

[0045] For example, the housing 1 may also be mounted on the pan-tilt device by means of bolt connection, snap connection or any other connection means.

[0046] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the conference device further includes a bracket 8. The bracket 8 is used to mount the conference device 6 on an external working surface.

[0047] In some exemplary embodiments, the bracket 8 supports and fixes the conference device 6 and can adjust the mounting position of the conference device 6 on the working surface.

[0048] In some exemplary embodiments, a second magnet magnetically attracted and cooperated with the first magnet is mounted on the bracket 8. In this way, the conference device 6 is mounted on the bracket 8 through the magnetic force between the first magnet and the second magnet. It should be understood that the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto. The bracket 8 includes but is not limited to being mounted on the working surface by means of bolt connection, snap connection or any other connection means.

[0049] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the bracket 8 includes but is not limited to a first mounting plate 81, a second mounting plate 82, a clamping plate 83 and a connecting shaft 84. The first end of the first mounting plate 81 ( Figure 3 the rear end of the first mounting plate 81 in Figure 3 is rotatably connected to the first end of the second mounting plate 82 ( Figure 3 the rear end of the second mounting plate 82 in Figure 3 through the connecting shaft 84, so that the bracket 8 has a closed state in which the first mounting plate 81 and the second mounting plate 82 are closed to each other, and a second state in which the first mounting plate 81 and the second mounting plate 82 are unfolded. In the second state, the included angle between the first mounting plate 81 and the second mounting plate 82 is an acute angle. The clamping plate 83 is mounted on the second end of the first mounting plate 81 ( Figure 3 the front end of the first mounting plate 81 in

[0050] In such an embodiment, the working surface is placed vertically. When the bracket 8 is installed on the working surface, the first mounting plate 81 and the second mounting plate 82 are unfolded and in the second state. The connection area between the first mounting plate 81 and the clamping plate 83 remains at the side of the top of the working surface, and the second end of the second mounting plate 82 abuts against the side of the working surface, so as to install the bracket 8 on the working surface, and the operation is convenient. Of course, the working surface can also be inclined at a certain angle to the horizontal plane.

[0051] In addition, when the conference device is stored, the first mounting plate 81 and the second mounting plate 82 of the bracket 8 are closed and in the first state, reducing the space occupation and facilitating storage.

[0052] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the conference device 6 and the bracket 8 are detachably connected.

[0053] Specifically, the conference device 6 includes but is not limited to being installed on the bracket 8 by means of bolt connection, bonding, snap connection or any other connection method.

[0054] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the conference device 6 and the bracket 8 are magnetically connected.

[0055] Specifically, a first magnet is installed on the conference device 6, and a second magnet magnetically cooperating with the first magnet is installed on the bracket 8. In this way, the conference device 6 is installed on the bracket 8 by the magnetic force between the first magnet and the second magnet. It should be understood that the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto.

[0056] For example, an electromagnet can also be provided between the conference device 6 and the bracket 8 for installation by magnetic attraction.

[0057] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, the conference device further includes a light-transmitting part 11, a light-emitting part 2 and a light-guiding part 3. The light-transmitting part 11 is arranged on the housing 1. The light-emitting part 2 is arranged inside the housing 1 and is correspondingly arranged with the light-transmitting part 11. The light-guiding part 3 is arranged between the light-transmitting part 11 and the light-emitting part 2, and can block a part of the light projected from the light-emitting part 2 to the light-transmitting part 11, and the other part of the light is transmitted through the light-guiding part 3 onto the light-transmitting part 11 to display the target graphic 12.

[0058] As Figures 5 to 6 shown, in some exemplary embodiments, the light-transmitting part 11 of the housing 1 is made of a translucent material, which can make the light emitted by the light-emitting part 2 transmit outwards through the light-transmitting part 11. For example, the translucent material can be polycarbonate, acrylic resin, silicone film, fiberglass or plexiglass, etc., which is not limited herein.

[0059] In some exemplary embodiments, the color of the light-transmitting part 11 and the housing 1 is of the same color system. Since the light-transmitting part 11 is made of a translucent material, the color of the light-transmitting part 11 should be configured to be darker than the colors of the light-emitting part 2 and the light guide part 3 located inside the housing 1, so that the light-emitting part 2 and the light guide part 3 cannot be seen from the outside of the housing 1 (that is, when a user normally observes the conference device from the outside, the internal light-emitting part 2 and the light guide part 3 cannot be seen, or the light-emitting part 2 and the light guide part 3 cannot be clearly seen), making the conference device more beautiful.

[0060] In some exemplary embodiments, the light-transmitting part 11 can be a certain side surface of the housing 1 (which is located on the lower end surface of the conference device in Figure 5 and is not shown), or can be a partial area on the side surface of the housing 1. The partial area of the housing 1 includes but is not limited to a substantially rectangular area, a substantially circular area, a substantially dot-shaped area, or a substantially annular area. Specifically, it should be adapted to the light-emitting part 2 and can display a suitable target pattern.

[0061] In a preferred embodiment, the light-transmitting part 11 and the housing 1 are made of the same material. The light-transmitting part 11 can be a part of the housing 1 and is integrally connected to the housing 1. The light-transmitting part 11 is substantially flush with the outer surface of the housing 1 to form a part of the outer surface of the housing 1. Of course, the light-transmitting part 11 can also be recessed inward to form a curved surface, so that the light-transmitting part 11 also has an optical effect of scattering and / or refracting light. It should be understood that the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto.

[0062] In some exemplary embodiments, the light-transmitting part 11 can also be independent of the housing 1 and be installed on the housing 1. For example, the light-transmitting part 11 includes but is not limited to being installed on the housing 1 by means of bolt connection, bonding, snap connection, or any other connection method to form a part of the outer surface of the housing 1.

[0063] In some exemplary embodiments, as Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, the light-emitting part 2 is arranged inside the housing 1 and corresponds to the light-transmitting part 11 ( Figure 6 in which the light-emitting part 3 is located above the light-transmitting part 11 and is arranged downward), so that the light emitted by the light-emitting part 2 is transmitted outward through the light-transmitting part 11, and a target pattern 12 is displayed on the light-transmitting part 11. Among them, the light-emitting part 2 includes but is not limited to being installed inside the housing 1 by means of bolt connection, bonding, snap connection, or any other connection method.

[0064] In some exemplary embodiments, as Figure 6As shown, the light guide part 3 is arranged between the light transmissive part 11 and the light emitting part 2. The shape of the light guide part 3 is matched with the shape of the light emitting part 2. Specifically, a locally sunken groove is formed on the first surface 311 of the light guide part 3 corresponding to the light emitting part 2, so that the part of the light emitting part 2 protruding from the first surface 311 is embedded in the groove. Further, the second surface 312 of the light guide part 3 corresponding to the light transmissive part 11 is also adaptively designed according to the inner surface structure of the housing 1 and / or the light transmissive part 11, so that the light guide part 3 is tightly restricted between the light transmissive part 11 and the light emitting part 2.

[0065] In such an embodiment, the light guide part 3 is arranged between the light transmissive part 11 and the light emitting part 2, which can block part of the light projected by the light emitting part 2 to the light transmissive part 11, and the other part of the light is transmitted through the light guide part and shows the target pattern 12 on the light transmissive part 11, thus avoiding the light projected from the light emitting part 2 to the area outside the target pattern 12 and affecting the display effect of the target pattern 12, thereby improving the display effect of the conference device. In addition, the light transmissive part 11 of the housing 1 covers the light emitting part 2 and the light guide part 3, so that there is no color difference on the outside of the housing 1, thereby improving the aesthetic degree of the overall appearance of the conference device.

[0066] In some exemplary embodiments, the light emitting part 2 has a first state of emitting light. Among them, when the light emitting part 2 is in the first state, the target pattern 12 is displayed on the light transmissive part 11.

[0067] In some exemplary embodiments, the light emitting part 2 has a second state of being extinguished. When the light emitting part 2 is in the second state, the target pattern 12 disappears from the light transmissive part 11.

[0068] In some exemplary embodiments, when the light emitting part 2 is in the powered-on state, the light emitting part 2 is in the first state of emitting light, and the light emitted by the light emitting part 2 is projected onto the light transmissive part 11 through the light guide part 3, so that the target pattern 12 is displayed on the semi-transparent light transmissive part 11. When the light emitting part 2 is in the powered-off state and the light emitting part 2 is in the second state of being extinguished, the light emitting part 2 does not emit light, and the target pattern 12 is not displayed on the light transmissive part 11.

[0069] In some exemplary embodiments, as Figure 5 and Figure 7 shown, the light emitting part 2 includes an electrical connector 21 and at least one light emitting element 22. The light emitting element 22 is arranged on the electrical connector 21, and the electrical connector 21 is used to conduct the light emitting element 22 with the circuit.

[0070] In some illustrative embodiments, the electrical connector 21 may be a circuit board for electrically connecting the light-emitting element 22 to a circuit. The circuit board may be a flexible printed circuit board (i.e., FPC) or a rigid printed circuit board (i.e., PCB), which is not limited herein. Specifically, the flexible printed circuit board can be bent and deformed, so that the light-emitting part 2 is more closely attached, reducing the gap generated at the connection position between the electrical connector 21 and the light guide part 3, thereby reducing the light emitted by the light-emitting part 2 from overflowing through the gap at the connection position between the light-emitting part 2 and the light guide part 3, avoiding interference with the display of the target pattern 12, and thus improving the display effect of the target pattern 12. The shape of the electrical connector 21 is set according to actual needs.

[0071] In some illustrative embodiments, the light-emitting element 22 may be a point light source, a line light source, a surface light source, etc. Specifically, the light-emitting element 22 may be a lamp grain, a lamp bead, a lamp strip, etc., which is not limited herein.

[0072] In an illustrative embodiment, the light-emitting element 22 may be an LED. Specifically, to make the light-emitting part 2 emit light of different colors, a multi-color LED may be used as the light-emitting element. Among them, the colors that the light-emitting element 22 can emit include, but are not limited to, red, green, blue, and combinations of at least two of the above three colors.

[0073] In some illustrative embodiments, the light-emitting part 2 is located in the housing 1. The electrical connector 21 of the light-emitting part 2 is connected to (and electrically connected to) the light guide part 3 by, but not limited to, welding, bonding with conductive glue, or other means. The light-emitting element 22 of the light-emitting part 2 corresponds to the light guide part 3, so that the light emitted by the light-emitting element 22 is projected onto the light-transmitting part 11 through the light guide part 3.

[0074] In an alternative illustrative embodiment, as Figure 5 and Figure 7 shown, the light-emitting part 2 includes a plurality of light-emitting elements 22, and the plurality of light-emitting elements 22 are arranged in an array form on the electrical connector 21.

[0075] In some illustrative embodiments, as Figure 5 shown, the position of the electrical connector 21 for mounting the light-emitting element 22 is generally circular. Of course, the electrical connector 21 can also be linear, rectangular, circular, elliptical, racetrack-shaped, polygonal, and other graphic shapes with representational meanings (such as a LOGO), etc., which is not limited herein. The plurality of light-emitting elements 22 can be continuously distributed and / or spaced apart on the electrical connector 21 to meet different display effects.

[0076] In some illustrative embodiments, as Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, the light guide part 3 includes a first part 31 and a second part 32. The first part 31 is used to block light, and the second part 32 allows light to transmit.

[0077] In some exemplary embodiments, the shape of the light guide portion 3 is matched with that of the light emitting portion 2 and is determined according to the shape of the target pattern 12. The first portion 31 is made of a light shielding material and is disposed at a position where light needs to be shielded, such as Figure 8 As shown, the first portion 31 includes an inner ring and an outer ring. The outer ring is sleeved outside the inner ring and is used to shield the light emitted by the light emitting portion 2 from being projected outside the light transmissive portion 11 or the light guide portion 3.

[0078] As Figure 8 shown, the second portion 32 is disposed between the inner ring and the outer ring to guide the light to the position of the light transmissive portion 11, allowing the light to be projected onto the light transmissive portion 11 through the second portion 32 of the light guide portion 3 to form the target pattern 12. In this way, by providing the first portion 31 and the second portion 32, the light is prevented from overflowing outside the light transmissive portion 11 and affecting the display effect of the target pattern 12, thereby improving the display effect of the conference device.

[0079] In some exemplary embodiments, as Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, the first portion 31 has a first surface 311 ( Figure 7 the upper end surface of the first portion in Figure 7 ) and a second surface 312 (

[0080] the lower end surface of the first portion in

[0081] ) that face away from each other. The first surface 311 corresponds to the light emitting portion 2, and the second surface 312 corresponds to the light transmissive portion 11. A light guide channel 313 (i.e., the gap between the first ring and the second ring) that penetrates the first surface 311 and the second surface 312 is formed inside the first portion 31. The second portion 32 is disposed inside the light guide channel 313. Of course, it should be understood that the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto.

[0082] For example, the light guide channel 313 may also be inclined or curved, which is not limited herein, as long as the light projected by the light emitting portion 2 can pass through the second portion 32 and be projected onto the light transmissive portion 11.

[0083] In such an embodiment, by providing the second part 32 to guide the light emitted by the light-emitting part 2, the light of the target graphic 12 displayed on the light-transmitting part 11 is made more uniform, thereby improving the display effect of the conference device. The first part 31 prevents light from leaking out of the light guide channel 313 and affecting the display effect of the target graphic 12, thereby further improving the display effect of the conference device.

[0084] In some exemplary embodiments, the second part 32 of the light guide part 3 can be omitted in the light guide channel 313 (i.e., the second part 32 is a hollowed-out area of the light guide part 3 without other materials filled), and the target graphic 12 can also be displayed on the light-transmitting part 11.

[0085] In some exemplary embodiments, the first part 31 is made of a first material, and the second part 32 is made of a second material. Among them, the light transmittance of the first material is less than that of the second material. Among them, the first material can block light and prevent the light emitted by the light-emitting part 2 from spilling outwards, so that the light emitted by the light-emitting part 2 is guided by the second part 32 and projected onto the light-transmitting part 11 to form the target graphic 12.

[0086] Specifically, the first material is made of an opaque material and can block light. For example, the first material can be non-transparent dark ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene), non-transparent dark rubber, dark fabric, metal, light-shielding film, etc. It should be understood that the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto.

[0087] For example, the first material can also adopt optical elements such as gratings or polarizers that can control the direction and intensity of light, thereby blocking light.

[0088] The second material is made of a transparent material and can guide light to be projected onto the light-transmitting part 11. For example, the second material can be PC (Polycarbonate), glass optical fiber, plastic optical fiber, etc. It should be understood that the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto.

[0089] For example, the second material can also adopt photonic crystals or nanophotonic materials that can guide and control the propagation of light, etc., to guide the light emitted by the light-emitting part 2 to the light-transmitting part 11 and display the target graphic 12.

[0090] In some exemplary embodiments, the first material and the second material can also be the same material. The first material of the first part 31 is processed by processes such as frosting or coating with a light-shielding material, so that the light transmittance of the first material is less than that of the second material.

[0091] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 7As shown, the cross-sectional area of the light guide channel 313 at the first end of the first surface 311 is greater than or equal to the cross-sectional area at the second end of the second surface 312.

[0092] In some exemplary embodiments, as Figure 7 shown, the first end of the light guide channel 313 ( Figure 5 the upper end of the light guide channel 313 in Figure 7 ) to the second end (

[0093] In some exemplary embodiments, as Figure 7 shown, when the light-transmitting part 11 faces downward, the first end of the light guide channel 313 located on the first surface 311 ( Figure 7 the upper surface of the first part 31 of Figure 7 ) is the upper end. The second end of the light guide channel 313 located on the second surface 312 (

[0094] the lower surface of the first part 31 of

[0095] In some exemplary embodiments, the first part 31 and the second part 32 are integrally formed.

[0096] In some exemplary embodiments, the first part 31 and the second part 32 can be integrally formed by injection molding or by CNC machining, which is not limited herein. It should be understood that the processing method of the first part 31 and the second part 32 should be determined according to actual needs or the materials of the first part 31 and the second part 32.

[0097] In some exemplary embodiments, the first part 31 and the second part 32 can also be two independent components, including but not limited to being connected to each other by bonding, snap connection, interference fit or any other connection method.

[0098] In some exemplary embodiments, the first part 31 is formed by injection molding, and / or the second part 32 is formed by injection molding.

[0099] In some illustrative embodiments, the pre-formed second part 32 can be placed in the injection mold of the first part 31 in advance, and then injection molding is carried out into the injection mold to process and form the first part 31, so that the second part 32 is fitted into the light guide channel 313 of the first part 31.

[0100] In some illustrative embodiments, the second part 32 can be formed by injection molding in the light guide channel 313 of the prefabricated first part 31, so that the second part 32 is fitted into the light guide channel 313 of the first part 31.

[0101] In some illustrative embodiments, a draft angle is formed at the upper end of the light guide channel 313 to facilitate demolding and reduce the defective rate of the processing and forming of the light guide part 3.

[0102] In some illustrative embodiments, the shape of the light guide channel 313 is set according to the shape of the target pattern 12. For example, the shape of the light guide channel 313 can be dot-shaped, cylindrical, cylindrical, conical, racetrack-shaped, special-shaped structure, etc., which are not limited herein.

[0103] In some illustrative embodiments, the light emitted by the light emitting part 2 is projected onto the light transmitting part 11 through the second end of the light guide channel 313 ( Figure 7 the lower end surface of the first part 31), so that the target pattern 12 is displayed on the light transmitting part 11. Therefore, the shape and area of the second end of the light guide channel 313 are set according to the shape and area of the target pattern 12.

[0104] In some illustrative embodiments, the shape and area of the first end of the light guide channel 313 can be the same as the shape and area of the target pattern 12.

[0105] In some illustrative embodiments, the shape and area of the first end of the light guide channel 313 can also be different from the shape and area of the target pattern 12. For example, the cross-sectional area of the light guide channel 313 gradually decreases from the first end to the second end (that is, Figure 7 the opening width at the upper end of the light guide channel 313 to the opening width at the lower end gradually decreases), so the cross-sectional area of the first end is larger than that of the second end. It should be understood that the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto.

[0106] For example, the cross-sectional area of the first end of the light guide channel 313 located on the first surface 311 can also be smaller than the cross-sectional area of the second end located on the second surface 312. Further, the second part 32 in the light guide channel 313 can have a scattering effect to make the light display more evenly in a larger range of the light transmitting part 11, which can be specifically set according to actual needs.

[0107] In some exemplary embodiments, in the orthographic projection of the second surface 312, the first end and the second end of the light guide channel 313 may completely coincide. The shape and area of the first end of the light guide channel 313, the shape and area of the second end of the light guide channel 313, and the shape and area of the target graphic 12 are all the same.

[0108] In some exemplary embodiments, as Figure 5 and Figure 7 shown, in the orthographic projection of the second surface 312, the light emitting element 22 coincides with the projection of the first end of the light guide channel 313.

[0109] In some exemplary embodiments, in the orthographic projection of the second surface 312 ( Figure 7 the lower end surface of the light guide part 3 in), the light emitting element 22 coincides with the projection of the first end of the light guide channel 313 ( Figure 7 the upper end of the light guide channel 313 in), that is, the light emitting element 22 is disposed opposite and coincident with the upper end of the light guide channel 313. In this way, the light emitted by the light emitting element 22 can propagate in the light guide channel 313 and be projected onto the light transmissive part 11 through the second part 32 of the light guide part 3, thereby preventing the light emitted by the light emitting part 2 from being blocked and affecting the display effect of the target graphic 12.

[0110] In some exemplary embodiments, due to the limited space of the housing 1 or the influence of the shape and size of the light emitting element 22 and the light guide channel 313, when the projection of the light emitting element 22 and the projection of the first end of the light guide channel 313 cannot coincide with each other in the orthographic projection of the second surface 312, they may also partially coincide. It should be understood that the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto.

[0111] In some exemplary embodiments, the conference device further includes an optical component (not shown in the figure), disposed between the light emitting element 22 and the first end of the light guide channel 313, for scattering and / or reflecting the light projected by the light emitting element 22 to the first end of the light guide channel 313.

[0112] In some exemplary embodiments, the optical component may be a grating, a diffuser plate or a mirror, which can change the propagation path of the light emitted by the light emitting part 2, so as to scatter and / or reflect the light projected by the light emitting element 22 to the first end of the light guide channel 313.

[0113] In some exemplary embodiments, in the orthographic projection of the second surface 312, the projection of the light emitting element 22 and the first end of the light guide channel 313 may not coincide. By providing an optical component between the light emitting element 22 and the first end of the light guide channel 313, the propagation path of the light emitted by the light emitting part 2 is changed, so that the light is projected onto the light transmissive part 11 through the light guide channel 313 to display the target graphic 12.

[0114] In some exemplary embodiments, the conferencing device further includes a scattering part (not shown in the figure), which is disposed at the first end of the light guide channel 313. The scattering part includes a plurality of scattering elements arranged in an array form and is configured to transmit and scatter the light projected by the light emitting part 2.

[0115] In some exemplary embodiments, the scattering part can scatter the light emitted by the light emitting part 2, disperse the light in different directions, thereby forming diffused light. For example, the scattering part can be opal glass, frosted glass, scattering sheet, scattering plate, grating, optical dot, etc., which is not limited herein.

[0116] In some exemplary embodiments, the scattering part is disposed at the first end of the light guide channel 313, and the scattering part includes a plurality of scattering elements arranged in an array form. The arrangement of the plurality of scattering elements cooperates with the shape of the light emitting part 2 to transmit and scatter the light projected by the light emitting part 2.

[0117] In an alternative exemplary embodiment, the scattering part can also be provided as one, and the shape of the scattering part is adapted to the shape of the light emitting part 2 and is disposed between the light emitting part 2 and the first end of the light guide channel 313.

[0118] In such an embodiment, the scattering part is located at the first end of the light guide channel, transmits the light projected by the light emitting part, and disperses the light in different directions, so that the light distribution at the first end of the light guide channel is more uniform, thereby improving the light uniformity of the target graphic displayed on the light transmissive part.

[0119] In some exemplary embodiments, as Figure 5 and Figure 7 shown, the conferencing device further includes a first light shielding part 4, which is disposed between the electrical connection member 21 and the first surface 311. A first light transmissive channel 41 is provided at a portion of the first light shielding part 4 corresponding to the first end of the light guide channel 313.

[0120] In some exemplary embodiments, as Figure 5 and Figure 7 shown, the first light shielding part 4 is disposed between the electrical connection member 21 and the first surface 311 of the light guide part 3 ( Figure 7 the upper end surface of the light guide part 3 in Figure 5 ), and the first light transmissive channel 41 (

[0121] The first light-shielding portion 4 can be filled in the gap between the electrical connector 21 and the light guide portion 3, blocking the light emitted by the light-emitting portion 2 from overflowing through the gap between the electrical connector 21 and the light guide portion 3, thereby reducing the impact on the display effect of the target graphic 12 displayed by the conference device and improving the display effect of the conference device.

[0122] In some exemplary embodiments, the first light-shielding portion 4 is made of a light-shielding material, thereby blocking the light emitted by the emitted light from overflowing through the gap between the electrical connector 21 and the light guide portion 3. Further, the first light-shielding portion 4 is a flexible material that can undergo slight deformation, so as to be more closely mounted between the electrical connector 21 and the light guide portion 3, thereby filling the gap between the electrical connector 21 and the light guide portion 3, further improving the sealing performance between the electrical connector and the light guide portion 3, reducing light overflow, and improving the display effect of the conference device.

[0123] For example, the first light-shielding portion 4 can be rubber, silica gel, sponge, foam, dark fabric, etc. that can block light, and is not limited herein.

[0124] In some exemplary embodiments, the shape of the first light-shielding portion 4 is matched with the shapes of the light guide channel 313 and the light-emitting portion 2. The first light-shielding portion 4 can be generally annular, circular, rectangular, etc., and is not limited herein.

[0125] In some exemplary embodiments, the first light-shielding portion 4 is installed between the electrical connector 21 and the first surface 311 by, but not limited to, bolt connection, bonding, snap connection, or any other connection method.

[0126] In some exemplary embodiments, as Figure 5 and Figure 7 shown, the conference device further includes a second light-shielding portion 5 disposed between the housing 1 and the second surface 312. A second light-transmitting channel 51 is provided in a portion of the second light-shielding portion 5 corresponding to the second end of the light guide channel 313.

[0127] In some exemplary embodiments, as Figure 5 and Figure 7 shown, the second light-shielding portion 5 is disposed between the housing 1 and the second surface 312 ( Figure 7 the lower end surface of the light guide portion 3 in Figure 5 ), and the second light-transmitting channel 51 (

[0128] In some exemplary embodiments, the second light-shielding portion 5 can be filled in the gap between the housing 1 and the second surface 312 of the light guide portion 3 to block the light from overflowing through the gap between the housing 1 and the second surface 312 of the light guide portion 3, thereby reducing the influence of the overflowing light on the display effect of the target graphic 12 displayed by the conference device and enhancing the display effect of the conference device.

[0129] In some exemplary embodiments, the second light-shielding portion 5 is made of a light-shielding material. Further, the first light-shielding portion 4 is made of a flexible material and can undergo a slight deformation, so as to be more closely installed between the housing 1 and the light guide portion 3, thereby filling the gap between the housing 1 and the light guide portion 3, further enhancing the sealing performance between the housing 1 and the light guide portion 3, reducing the light overflow, and enhancing the display effect of the conference device.

[0130] For example, the second light-shielding portion 5 can be rubber, silica gel, sponge, foam, dark fabric, etc. that can block light, and is not limited herein.

[0131] In some exemplary embodiments, the shape of the second light-shielding portion 5 is set according to the target graphic 12 and the second end of the light guide channel 313. The second light-shielding portion 5 can be generally annular, circular, rectangular, etc., and is not limited herein.

[0132] In some exemplary embodiments, the second light-shielding portion 5 is installed between the housing 1 and the second surface 312 of the light guide portion 3 by including but not limited to bolt connection, bonding, snap connection, or any other connection method.

[0133] In some exemplary embodiments, as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 9 shown, the portion of the housing 1 outside the light-transmitting portion 11 is made of the same material as the light-transmitting portion 11.

[0134] In some exemplary embodiments, the material of the light-transmitting portion 11 can be the same as the material of the portion of the housing 1 outside the light-transmitting portion 11. The light-transmitting portion 11 is a translucent material, and the portion of the housing 1 outside the light-transmitting portion 11 can also be a translucent material. Specifically, both the portion of the housing 1 outside the light-transmitting portion 11 and the light-transmitting portion 11 are black translucent materials.

[0135] In addition, in order to better shield the electronic devices inside the housing 1, the inner surface of the portion of the housing 1 outside the light-transmitting portion 11 can be coated with a light-shielding material to reduce the light transmittance of the portion of the housing 1 outside the light-transmitting portion 11, thereby shielding the electronic devices inside the housing 1 and enhancing the aesthetics of the conference device.

[0136] In some exemplary embodiments, at least a part of the housing 1 outside the light-transmitting portion 11 has a different material from the light-transmitting portion 11.

[0137] In some exemplary embodiments, the light-transmitting portion 11 is made of a translucent material. At least a part of the housing 1 outside the light-transmitting portion 11 may be made of an opaque material. Specifically, as Figure 1 and Figure 5 shown, the light-transmitting portion 11 is located on the front housing 15 of the housing 1 ( Figure 1 the front side surface of the middle housing 1). Both the light-transmitting portion 11 and the front housing 15 may be made of a translucent material, and the other parts of the housing 1 ( Figure 1 the rear housing and / or the side walls of the middle housing 1) are made of an opaque material. In this way, the target graphic 12 displayed on the light-transmitting portion 11 is located in front of the housing 1, facing the user, facilitating the user to more intuitively view the target graphic 12.

[0138] In some exemplary embodiments, the part of the housing 1 outside the light-transmitting portion 11 and the light-transmitting portion 11 are of the same color system, so that the integration degree of the light-transmitting portion 11 and the housing 1 is better and the aesthetics is higher.

[0139] In some exemplary embodiments, the target graphic 12 includes at least one or more of dot-shaped, ring-shaped, racetrack-shaped, polygonal-shaped, etc.

[0140] In some exemplary embodiments, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the light-transmitting portion 11 is located in the part of the front housing 15 of the housing 1 ( Figure 1 the front side surface of the middle housing 1), the light-transmitting portion 11 is a circular area of the front housing 15, and the target graphic 12 displayed on the light-transmitting portion 11 is an annular shape on the outer periphery of the circular area ( Figure 1 the annular part on the front housing). As Figure 9 shown, the target graphic 12 displayed on the light-transmitting portion 11 is a dot at the middle of the front side surface of the housing 1. It should be understood that the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto.

[0141] For example, the target graphic 12 may also be a graphic such as a letter, a number, a geometric pattern or a special-shaped pattern, etc., which can be specifically set according to actual needs.

[0142] In some exemplary embodiments, the conference device 6 further includes an interaction device for controlling the conference device 6 according to user operations so that the imaging device 61 is in a corresponding working mode.

[0143] In some exemplary embodiments, the interaction device realizes the interaction between the user and the conference device 6, so that the user operates and controls the conference device 6 according to his own needs. The user can operate the interaction device to make the conference device in a corresponding working mode. For example, the working mode may be power on, power off, standby, etc., which is not limited herein.

[0144] In some exemplary embodiments, the interaction device can be implemented by mechanical interaction methods such as pressing, touching, toggling, rotating, etc. It should be understood that the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto.

[0145] For example, the interaction device can also be implemented by interaction methods such as voice control, gesture control, infrared sensing, etc., which are not limited herein.

[0146] In some exemplary embodiments, the light-emitting part 2 responds to the working mode to adjust the light-emitting color and / or light-emitting mode, so that the light-transmitting part 11 displays the target graphic 12.

[0147] In some exemplary embodiments, the light-emitting mode includes a constant-on mode and / or a stroboscopic mode. Among them, the number of flashes and / or the frequency of different stroboscopic modes are different.

[0148] In an exemplary embodiment, the color change of the light-emitting part 2 is realized by the light-emitting element 22. Specifically, a multi-color LED can be used as the light-emitting element. The colors that the light-emitting element 22 can emit include, but are not limited to, red, green, blue, and combinations of at least two of the above three colors. Further, for the color switching and light-emitting mode adjustment of the light-emitting part 2 (including the light-emitting element 22), it can be realized through the electrical connection member 21 and an external circuit.

[0149] In some exemplary embodiments, as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 9 shown, the interaction device is disposed in the housing 1. The housing 1 has an interaction part 13. The user operation includes pressing the interaction part 13 to trigger the interaction device to switch the working mode of the conference device 6.

[0150] In some exemplary embodiments, as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 9 shown, the interaction part 13 can be independent of the housing 1, and the interaction part 13 and the housing 1 can move relative to each other. The interaction part 13 includes, but is not limited to, keys, buttons, etc., which are not limited herein. The user can press the interaction part 13 to trigger the interaction device. It should be understood that the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto.

[0151] For example, the interaction part 13 can also be a push rod, a knob, and other devices that enable the user to interact with the interaction device physically.

[0152] In some exemplary embodiments, the interaction part 13 is a part of the housing 1, and the interaction part 13 can sense the user's interaction operation through touch, thereby triggering the interaction device.

[0153] In some exemplary embodiments, the interaction device triggers the interaction device to switch the working mode of the conference device 6 through the interaction actions of the induction interaction part 13.

[0154] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the interaction part 13 is located within the light-transmitting part 11 of the housing 1.

[0155] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 1 shown, the light-transmitting part 11 is located in a generally circular area of the front housing 15 part of the housing 1. The outer contour of the light-transmitting part 11 is located outside the periphery of the target graphic 12, so as to ensure that the target graphic 12 is fully displayed.

[0156] The interaction part 13 is located within the light-transmitting part 11 ( Figure 1 in a generally circular area on the right side of the front side of the middle housing), that is, the area of the interaction part 13 is smaller than the area of the light-transmitting part 11. In this way, the interaction part 13 is located on the front housing 15, facilitating the user to directly operate the interaction part 13 and conveniently allowing the user to press the interaction part 13 to trigger the interaction device to switch the working mode of the conference device 6.

[0157] In some exemplary embodiments, the target graphic 12 displayed by the light-transmitting part 11 substantially coincides with the edge of the interaction part 13.

[0158] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the edge of the interaction part 13 is substantially circular. The target graphic 12 displayed on the light-transmitting part 11 substantially coincides with the edge of the interaction part 13 and is in the shape of a ring.

[0159] In an alternative exemplary embodiment, the edge of the interaction part 13 can be located within the light-transmitting part 11, and the area of the interaction part 13 is set according to actual needs. In this way, the target graphic 12 displayed through the light-transmitting part 11 not only achieves its own display effect but also serves to characterize the position of the interaction part 13 on the housing 1, which is beneficial for the user to operate, especially to prevent the occurrence of misoperation by the user.

[0160] In some exemplary embodiments, the part of the interaction part 13 located outside the light-transmitting part 11.

[0161] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 9 shown, the light-transmitting part 11 is located at the central position of the front housing 1 and is substantially in the shape of a round hole. The target graphic displayed on the light-transmitting part 11 is a dot. The interaction part 13 is located Figure 1 in the part of the generally circular area on the right side of the front side of the middle housing, and the position of the interaction part 13 is not restricted by the position of the light-transmitting part 11. It should be understood that the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto.

[0162] For example, the position of the interaction part 13 can also be located on the side wall or the rear shell of the housing 1. The interaction part 13 can also be arranged in any area such as the corner area of the front housing 15, etc., and can be specifically set according to actual requirements.

[0163] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 9 shown, the interaction part 13 is recessed from the surface of the housing 1.

[0164] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 1 shown, the light-transmitting part 11 is located on the front housing 15 ( Figure 1 a substantially circular area on the right side of the front side of the middle housing). The circular area of the light-transmitting part 11 is continuously recessed from the outer contour towards the center into the housing 1 to form the interaction part 13, so that the outer surface of the interaction part 13 is recessed into the appearance surface of the housing 1, thereby reducing the accidental touch of the interaction part 13 and accidentally switching the working mode of the conference device 6. In addition, the probability of the interaction part 13 being rubbed or knocked is also reduced, the protection of the interaction part 13 is improved, and the service life of the interaction part 13 is prolonged.

[0165] In an alternative exemplary embodiment, the outer surface of the interaction part 13 can also be a flat surface, and the outer surface of the interaction part 13 is lower than the outer surface of the housing 1, and accidental touch can also be reduced.

[0166] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 9 shown, a through hole 14 is provided on the housing 1 of the conference device 6. It can be understood that an audio device opposite to the through hole 14 is provided inside the conference device 6 for collecting audio. The through hole 14 can be provided on the top surface, side surface or rear side of the housing 1, etc., and is not limited herein.

[0167] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 2 shown, the interaction part 13 can also be arranged on the pan-tilt device 7, and the position of the interaction part 13 is set according to actual requirements. For example, the interaction part 13 can be arranged in a circular area on the front surface of the base of the pan-tilt device 7 for the convenience of user operation.

[0168] In some exemplary embodiments, the conference device 6 further includes a shielding mechanism 9. The shielding mechanism 9 is arranged on the conference device 6 and has a first state for shielding the camera device 61 of the conference device 6 and a second state for exposing the camera device 61.

[0169] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 10 and Figure 11As shown, a through hole 64 is provided on the housing of the conference device 6 to expose the imaging end (such as a camera) of the imaging device 61 to the external environment ( Figure 11 the through hole 64 on the lower surface of the conference device 6 in

[0170] ), enabling the imaging device 61 to collect image information. The shielding mechanism 9 is installed at the position of the through hole 64 on the housing. When the imaging device 61 is in a non-operating state, the shielding mechanism 9 is in the first state (closed state), covering and shielding the imaging end of the imaging device 61 to prevent the imaging device 61 from being exposed to the external environment. When the imaging device 61 is in an operating state, the shielding mechanism 9 is in the second state (open state), exposing the imaging end of the imaging device 61 to the external environment, thereby allowing the imaging device 61 to collect image information.

[0171] In such an embodiment, when the imaging device 61 is in a non-operating state, the shielding device physically shields the imaging end of the imaging device 61, preventing the imaging device 61 from being exposed to the external environment, thereby avoiding accidental scratches or bumps on the imaging device 61, protecting the imaging end and improving the privacy of the conference device. Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the shielding mechanism 9 includes at least one shielding piece 91 and a driving mechanism 92. At least one shielding piece 91 is movably installed on the conference device 6. The shielding piece 91 is located at a first position in the first state and at a second position in the second state. The driving mechanism 92 is used to drive the shielding piece 91 to move between the first position and the second position.

[0172] It should be noted that, as Figure 11 shown, the first position means that the shielding piece 91 is located below the imaging device 61, closing the through hole 64, thereby shielding the imaging device 61 and making the shielding mechanism 9 in the first state. The second position (not shown in the figure) means that the shielding piece 91 is located beside the imaging device 61, and the shielding piece 91 is fully opened, exposing the imaging device 61 at the through hole 64 to the external environment, making the shielding mechanism 9 in the second state.

[0173] In some exemplary embodiments, one shielding piece 91 may be provided, and the area of the shielding piece 91 is larger than the imaging end of the imaging device 61 to shield the imaging end of the imaging device 61.

[0174] In some exemplary embodiments, the shielding piece 91 is rotatably installed on the conference device 6 through a rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft is substantially parallel to the axis of the imaging device 61. The driving mechanism 92 drives the shielding piece 91 to rotate around the rotating shaft to the first position or the second position.

[0175] In an alternative exemplary embodiment, the shielding sheet 91 can also be slidably mounted on the conferencing device 6 through a slide rail, and the driving mechanism 92 drives the shielding sheet 91 to slide to the first position or the second position.

[0176] In this way, when the shielding mechanism 9 is in the first position, the shielding sheet 91 can completely shield the imaging end of the imaging device 61, providing better protection for the imaging device 61. When the imaging device 61 needs to collect image information, the driving mechanism 92 drives the shielding sheet 91 to move to the side of the imaging device 61, so that the imaging end of the imaging device 61 is exposed to the external environment at the through hole 64 position. The shielding mechanism 9 is easy to operate, facilitating user operation, enabling the shielding mechanism 9 to move between the first position and the second position.

[0177] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 10 and Figure 12 shown, a plurality of shielding sheets 91 are provided. When in the first position, the plurality of shielding sheets 91 are in contact with each other to cover the imaging device 61.

[0178] In some exemplary embodiments, the plurality of shielding sheets 91 are distributed around the imaging end of the imaging device 61 in a surrounding manner. The shielding sheets 91 can be provided with two, three, four, five or six, which is not limited herein and is set according to actual needs.

[0179] Under the drive of the driving mechanism 92, the plurality of shielding sheets 91 can move synchronously or successively, which is not limited herein. When in the first position, the plurality of shielding sheets 91 are in contact with each other, thereby generally covering the imaging device 61, that is, protecting the imaging end and improving the privacy of the conferencing device.

[0180] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 12 and Figure 13 shown, each shielding sheet 91 includes a first contact surface 911 formed by protruding outward and a second contact surface 912 formed by recessing inward. The first contact surface 911 of the shielding sheet 91 is in contact and cooperation with the second contact surface 912 of the adjacent shielding sheet 91.

[0181] In such an embodiment, during the process that the driving mechanism 92 drives the shielding sheet 91 to move to the first position, the plurality of shielding sheets 91 move closer to the axis of the imaging end of the imaging device 61. The first contact surfaces 911 and the second contact surfaces 912 of the adjacent shielding sheets 91 are in contact with each other, and the first contact surfaces 911 and the second contact surfaces 912 are in concave-convex cooperation. The plurality of shielding sheets 91 cooperate with each other to form a structure similar to a windmill.

[0182] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 13 、 Figure 14 、 Figure 15 and Figure 16As shown, the first contact surface 911 extends outward to form a first extension portion 913, such as Figure 13 , Figure 14 and Figure 15 As shown, the second contact surface 912 is recessed inward to form a fitting groove 915. In the first position, the first extension portion 913 of the shielding piece 91 is in contact and cooperation with the fitting groove 915 of the adjacent shielding piece 91, and the first extension portion 913 crosses the position where the first contact surface 911 and the second contact surface 912 are in contact with each other.

[0183] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 15 and Figure 16 As shown, the extending direction of the first extension portion 913 is substantially parallel to the plane where the shielding piece 91 is located. The fitting groove 915 is used to accommodate the first extension portion 913, and the shape and size of the fitting groove 915 cooperate with the first extension portion 913.

[0184] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 14 As shown, the connecting surface of the first extension portion 913 and the first contact surface 911 forms a first inclined surface, and the first inclined surface forms a preset angle with the first contact surface 911. The connecting surface of the fitting groove 915 and the second contact surface 912 forms a second inclined surface that cooperates with the first inclined surface. In this way, when the shielding mechanism 9 is adjusted from the second state (open state) to the first state (closed state), the shielding pieces 91 approach each other, and during the process that the first contact surface 911 and the second contact surface 912 approach and contact each other, the risk of collision between the first extension portion 913 of the adjacent shielding pieces 91 and the fitting groove 915 is reduced, and the service life of the shielding mechanism 9 is prolonged.

[0185] In such an embodiment, when the shielding piece 91 is in the first position, the end of the first extension portion 913 of the shielding piece 91 contacts the fitting groove 915 of other shielding pieces 91 adjacent to this shielding piece 91 to form a first contact position, and the first contact surface 911 and the second contact surface 912 of the adjacent shielding pieces 91 contact to form a second contact position. The first contact position and the second contact position are staggered with each other, so that the first extension portion 913 further shields the contact position of the first contact surface 911 and the second contact surface 912 of the adjacent shielding pieces 91, avoiding the generation of gaps at the contact position of the first contact surface 911 and the second contact surface 912 and being unable to completely shield the imaging device 61, and further improving the privacy of the conference device.

[0186] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 13 and Figure 15 As shown, the first surface ( Figure 15 the front surface of the shielding piece 91 in Figure 15 forms an appearance surface, and the first extension portion 913 is located on the second surface (

[0187] In such an embodiment, as Figure 12 shown, when the shielding sheet 91 is in the first position, the user can see the appearance surface of the shielding sheet 91. At this time, a plurality of shielding sheets 91 surround the central axis of the imaging device 61, and the appearance surface formed by the mutual contact of the plurality of shielding sheets 91 is flat and beautiful. As Figure 13 shown, the first extension portion 913 is located on the rear surface of the shielding sheet 91 and will not have an adverse effect on the appearance of the shielding sheet 91.

[0188] In some exemplary embodiments, the first extension portion 913 may also be located on the first surface, which is not limited herein.

[0189] In some exemplary embodiments, as Figure 12 , Figure 14 , Figure 15 and Figure 16 shown, in the first position, the connection position of the first contact surface 911 and the second contact surface 912 of each shielding sheet 91 is located at the central position of the plurality of shielding sheets 91 ( Figure 12 the central position), and a second extension portion 914 is provided on the second surface of any one of the plurality of shielding sheets 91 ( Figure 15 the rear surface of the shielding sheet 91), and the second extension portion 914 extends outward beyond the central position.

[0190] In some exemplary embodiments, as Figure 12 shown, the plurality of shielding sheets 91 are axially symmetrically distributed around the central position. The plurality of shielding sheets 91 are in contact with each other at the central position, and gaps may be generated and the imaging device 61 cannot be completely shielded. As Figure 14 , Figure 15 and Figure 16 shown, the second extension portion 914 can further shield the central position and further improve the privacy of the conference device.

[0191] In some exemplary embodiments, the second extension portion 914 may also be provided on the first surface of the shielding sheet 91, which is not limited herein.

[0192] In some exemplary embodiments, the conference device further includes a sensing device and a control device. The sensing device is configured to detect the position of the shielding sheet. The control device is configured to control the conference device to enter the privacy mode in response to the sensing device.

[0193] Specifically, the sensing device may be a Hall sensor, a laser sensor, a touch sensor, etc., which is not limited herein. The control device may be an electronic switch or a relay that cooperates with the sensing device, and is specifically set according to the sensing device.

[0194] In some exemplary embodiments, when the sensing device detects that the shielding sheet is in the first position, the control device controls the conferencing device to enter the privacy mode in response to the sensing device. Wherein, in the privacy mode, the conferencing device outputs a preset image to replace the image information collected by the imaging device of the conferencing device (i.e., the picture captured by the imaging device). The preset image can be a black image, a blue image, a mosaic image, and so on. The preset image can also be a scenic image, a portrait image, a text image, etc. set by the user, which is not limited herein.

[0195] In such an embodiment, the conferencing device can directly enter the privacy mode in response to the position of the shielding sheet, avoiding the leakage of the actually collected image information on site. In addition, in the privacy mode, the conferencing device outputs a preset image to replace the actually collected image information, thereby preventing gaps in the shielding mechanism and enabling the conferencing device to present some of the image information collected by the imaging device, thus improving the privacy of the conferencing device.

[0196] In some exemplary embodiments, as Figure 10 and Figure 11 shown, the driving mechanism 92 includes a transmission disk 921, a movable arm 922, and a driving portion 923. The transmission disk 921 is rotatably mounted on the conferencing device 6. The movable arm 922 is rotatably mounted between the transmission disk 921 and the shielding sheet 91. The driving portion 923 is disposed on the conferencing device 6 and is configured to drive the transmission disk 921 to rotate, so that the movable arm 922 drives the shielding sheet 91 to rotate to the first position, or drive the transmission disk 921 to rotate in the reverse direction, so that the movable arm 922 drives the shielding sheet 91 to rotate to the second position.

[0197] In some exemplary embodiments, as Figure 10 and Figure 11 shown, the transmission disk 921 can be an annular disk, the annular disk is coaxial with the imaging end of the imaging device 61, and rotates around its own axis. The circular hole in the middle of the annular disk exposes the imaging end of the imaging device 61, allowing the imaging device 61 to collect image information. A relief groove 9211 for relieving the shaft of the shielding sheet 91 is provided on the transmission disk 921 to allow the transmission disk 921 to rotate around its own axis.

[0198] As Figure 10 and Figure 11 shown, a plurality of shielding sheets 91 are evenly spaced around the axis of the transmission disk 921, and the number of movable arms 922 is the same as the number of shielding sheets 91. The first end of each movable arm 922 is rotatably mounted on the transmission disk 921, and the second end of the movable arm 922 is rotatably mounted on the shielding sheet 91.

[0199] As Figure 10As shown, when the driving part 923 drives the transmission disk 921 to rotate counterclockwise, the transmission disk 921 simultaneously drives a plurality of movable arms 922 and a plurality of shielding sheets 91 to rotate and approach the central axis of the transmission disk 921, so that the plurality of shielding sheets 91 rotate to the first position and contact each other, thereby substantially completely covering the imaging device 61. When the driving part 923 drives the transmission disk 921 to rotate clockwise, the transmission disk 921 simultaneously drives a plurality of movable arms 922 and a plurality of shielding sheets 91 to rotate and disperse around in a direction away from the central axis of the transmission disk 921, so that the plurality of shielding sheets 91 rotate to the second position, that is, beside the imaging end of the imaging device 61, thereby exposing the imaging device 61.

[0200] In some exemplary embodiments, as Figure 10 and Figure 11 shown, a convex portion 9212 is provided on the transmission disk 921, and the convex portion 9212 is a cylindrical structure. The driving part 923 can be slidably mounted on the conference device 6 in the tangential direction of the transmission disk 921, and a chute 9231 for accommodating the convex portion 9212 is provided on the driving part 923.

[0201] In such an embodiment, during the reciprocating sliding of the driving part 923, the convex portion 9212 slides in the chute 9231, so that the transmission disk 921 rotates counterclockwise or clockwise.

[0202] It should be understood that the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto. For example, the driving part 923 can be meshed with the transmission disk 921, and the transmission disk 921 is driven to rotate by rotating the driving part 923.

[0203] In some exemplary embodiments, the conference device further includes a feedback mechanism 10 for giving a prompt at the first position and the second position.

[0204] In some exemplary embodiments, the feedback mechanism 10 can be a sound prompt (such as voice, ringtone), a tactile prompt (such as vibration, pressure), or a visual prompt (such as a graphic, an indicator light), etc., and the feedback mechanism 10 is set according to actual needs.

[0205] In such an embodiment, when the driving mechanism 92 drives the shielding sheet 91 to move to the first position or the second position, the feedback mechanism 10 can feedback that the shielding sheet 91 has moved in place, facilitating the user to know the moving position of the shielding sheet 91. In addition, after the user knows that the shielding sheet 91 has moved in place, the operation on the driving mechanism 92 is stopped, avoiding continuous operation on the driving mechanism 92 and causing excessive extrusion of the driving mechanism 92 or the shielding sheet 91.

[0206] In some exemplary embodiments, as Figure 11 and Figure 17As shown, the feedback mechanism 10 can be elastically arranged on the conference device 6. In the first position or the second position, the feedback mechanism 10 extends into the groove 9232 of the driving part 923 to vibrate the driving part 923.

[0207] In some illustrative embodiments, such as Figure 11 and Figure 17 As shown, the feedback mechanism 10 includes an elastic member 101 and a feedback part 102. The elastic member 101 can be a spring. The elastic member 101 can be elastically mounted on the conference device 6, and the elastic member 101 can elastically stretch in the direction of approaching or departing from the driving part 923. The feedback part 102 is arranged at one end of the elastic member 101 corresponding to the driving part 923 to extend into the groove 9232.

[0208] In such an embodiment, during the process that the driving part 923 reciprocally moves in the tangential direction of the transmission disc 921 to drive the transmission disc 921 to rotate, when the shielding piece 91 moves to the first position or the second position, the feedback part 102 is opposite to the groove 9232 of the driving part 923. At this time, the elastic member 101 in the compressed state stretches and pushes the feedback part 102 to extend into the groove 9232, thereby vibrating the driving part 923 so that the user can know the position state of the shielding piece 91.

[0209] In some illustrative embodiments, the feedback part 102 can be rollably mounted at one end of the elastic member 101 corresponding to the driving part 923. In this way, during the movement of the driving part 923, the feedback part 102 is in rolling contact with the driving part 923, reducing the frictional resistance during the movement of the driving part 923 and facilitating the movement of the driving part 923.
