Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model generally relates to the technical field of camera devices, and more particularly to a shielding structure and a camera. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of information technology and the popularization of intelligent devices, cameras have become common devices in homes, offices, and other public places. They provide convenience for monitoring, communication, and entertainment. However, with the increasing number of cameras, people's awareness of personal privacy protection has also increased. In some cases, users may not want to be recorded by cameras, such as during meeting discussions, private conversations, or rest.

[0003] Currently, most cameras on the market do not have built-in privacy protection mechanisms, or their privacy protection functions are relatively limited. Some pan-tilt cameras achieve physical shielding by rotating the sphere into the housing, but this design is not applicable to all types of cameras. For most cameras, users usually need to rely on external shielding bodies (such as cloth covers, plastic shells, etc.), which are not only not aesthetically pleasing but also inconvenient to use, and are prone to falling and being damaged or lost.

[0004] The content in the background art section is only the technology known to the inventor and does not necessarily represent the prior art in this field. Summary of the Utility Model

[0032] The preferred embodiments of the present utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present utility model, and are not used to limit the present utility model.

[0033] Figure 1 An exploded view of a shielding structure 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model is shown. Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the open state of a shielding structure 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model is shown. Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the closed state of a shielding structure 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model is shown. The following is a detailed description in conjunction with Figures 1 to 3 this.

[0034] As Figures 1 to 3As shown, the shielding structure 100 includes a first plate member 110, a lever 120, and at least one shielding piece 130. Among them, the first plate member 110 has a first side and a second side (which can also be referred to as the inner side and the outer side), and a first through hole 111 is provided at the center of the first plate member 110. The shielding piece 130 is rotatably connected to the first side of the first plate member 110, and it has a shielding position and an avoiding position. The shielding piece 130 can be switched between the shielding position and the avoiding position by rotating around its connection with the first plate member 110. As Figure 2 shown, when the shielding piece 130 is in the avoiding position, the shielding piece 130 avoids the first through hole 111 (that is, the orthographic projection of the shielding piece 130 on the first plate member 110 falls outside the first through hole 111). As Figure 3 shown, when the shielding piece 130 is in the shielding position, the shielding piece 130 at least shields part of the first through hole 111 (that is, the orthographic projection of the shielding piece 130 on the first plate member 110 overlaps at least partially with the first through hole 111). As Figure 3 shown, when all the shielding pieces 130 are in the shielding position, all the shielding pieces 130 jointly shield the first through hole 111 (that is, the orthographic projections of all the shielding pieces 130 on the first plate member 110 completely cover the first through hole 111). For example Figure 3 in the shown embodiment, two shielding pieces 130 are assembled in the shielding structure 100, and the two shielding pieces 130 jointly shield the first through hole 111. In some embodiments, only one shielding piece 130 is assembled in the shielding structure 100, and the shielding piece 130 alone shields the first through hole 111. The lever 120 is provided on the side of the shielding piece 130 facing away from the first plate member 110, and an avoiding hole 121 is provided on the lever 120, and the avoiding hole 121 is aligned with the first through hole 111. The lever 120 is respectively connected to each shielding piece 130, and it is configured to be rotatable around a first axis. When the lever 120 rotates around the first axis, the lever 120 synchronously drives each shielding piece 130 to switch between the shielding position and the avoiding position. The shielding structure 100 can be built into a camera to block the lens of the camera, so that the user only needs to rotate the lever 120 to realize the opening and closing of the shielding structure. The operation is simple and convenient, and it will not fall off or be lost, which can provide a good user experience for the user.

[0035] According to an embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 1As shown, a mating hole 131 is provided on the mask 130. Optionally, the mating hole 131 is provided at the end of the mask 130. At least one pivot 112 is provided on the first side of the first plate 110, and the number of the pivots 112 corresponds to the number of the mask 130. For example, when one mask 130 is assembled in the shielding structure 100, one pivot 112 is provided on the first side of the first plate 110; when two mask 130 are assembled in the shielding structure 100, two pivots 112 are provided on the first side of the first plate 110. Optionally, when multiple pivots 112 are provided, the multiple pivots 112 are arranged at intervals around the first through hole 111. The pivot 112 is inserted into the mating hole 131 on the corresponding mask 130 and is rotationally engaged with the mating hole 131. In some embodiments, in order to realize the rotational connection between the mask 130 and the first plate 110 , a pivot 112 may be provided on the mask 130 , and a corresponding matching hole 131 may be provided on the first side of the first plate 110 .

[0036] According to one embodiment of the utility model, Figure 1 As shown, a convex bump 132 may be provided on the mask 130. Optionally, the convex bump 132 is substantially cylindrical. Optionally, the convex bump 132 is integrally formed with the mask 130. At least one slide groove 122 is provided on the lever 120. The number of the slide grooves 122 corresponds to the number of the masks 130. For example, when two masks 130 are assembled in the shielding structure 100, two slide grooves 122 are provided on the lever 120. Optionally, the slide groove 122 is connected to the matching hole 131. Optionally, the slide groove 122 extends along the radius direction of the matching hole 131. As shown in FIG. Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the convex bump 132 is inserted into the corresponding slide groove 122 and slidably cooperates with the slide groove 122. When the lever 120 rotates around the first axis, the lever 120 pushes the shielding piece 130 to rotate around the pivot 112 (matching hole 131), and the convex bump 132 slides along the slide groove 122, so that the shielding piece 130 switches between the shielding position and the avoidance position. Optionally, the lever 120 is provided with a handle 124, and the handle 124 extends beyond the edge of the first plate 110, so that the user can toggle the lever 120. Optionally, two handles 124 can be provided, and the two handles 124 are provided at both ends of the lever 120, so that the user can toggle the lever 120 from different directions.

[0037] According to one embodiment of the utility model, Figure 1As shown, the shielding structure 100 may further include a second plate member 140, which is disposed on the side of the lever 120 facing away from the second plate member 140. A second through hole 141 is provided at the center of the second plate member 140. A surrounding rib 123 is provided on the side of the lever 120 facing the second plate member 140 around the avoidance hole 121. The surrounding rib 123 may be a continuous structure provided around the avoidance hole 121 or a multi-segment structure (such as between adjacent two segments) provided around the avoidance hole 121. The surrounding rib 123 is inserted into the second through hole 141 and is rotationally engaged with the second through hole 141 to rotatably mount the lever 120 to the second plate member 140. Optionally, an interference fit or a relatively tight clearance fit is adopted between the surrounding rib 123 and the second through hole 141, so that the lever 120 can be held in any position (such as the shielding position, the avoidance position) under the action of the frictional force between the surrounding rib 123 and the second plate member 140, avoiding the position change of the shielding piece 130 during use and affecting the use of the camera. Optionally, both the first plate member 110 and the second plate member 140 are annular, and the outer diameters of the first plate member 110 and the second plate member 140 are the same.

[0038] According to an embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the avoidance hole 121, the first through hole 111 and the second through hole 141 are coaxial, and the aperture of the avoidance hole 121 and the aperture of the second through hole 141 are both larger than the aperture of the first through hole 111, so as not to affect the camera shooting picture. Optionally, the axes of the avoidance hole 121, the first through hole 111 and the second through hole 141 all overlap with the first axis.

[0039] The present invention also provides a camera, which includes the shielding structure 100 as described above. Optionally, the first plate member 110 and / or the second plate member 140 of the shielding structure 100 is a part of the housing of the camera.

[0040] Compared with the prior art, the embodiment of the present invention provides a shielding structure and a camera. The shielding structure can be built in the camera and will not fall off or be lost. By rotating the lever 120, all the shielding pieces 130 can be driven to switch between the shielding position and the avoidance position, realizing the opening and closing of the shielding structure. The operation is simple and convenient, and can provide a good user experience for users.

[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not used to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or perform equivalent replacements on some of the technical features.
