The terms "vertical", "horizontal", "left", "right" and similar expressions used in this specification are for illustrative purposes only.

[0028] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this specification have the same meanings as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this utility model belongs. The terms used in this specification and in the description of this utility model are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the utility model. The term "and / or" used in this specification includes any and all combinations of one or more of the relevant listed items.

[0029] This application provides a frame 100, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The frame 100 includes a frame body 1 and a shielding member 2. The frame body 1 is used to be set in the shell. The shielding member 2 is set in the frame body 1, and the shielding member 2 can slide between a first position and a second position relative to the frame body 1, wherein when the shielding member 2 is in the first position, the camera of the terminal is exposed, and when the shielding member 2 is in the second position, the camera of the terminal is shielded by the shielding member 2. Through the above structure, the shielding member 2 is integrated into the frame body 1, and there is no need to connect it to the shell through a connector, which reduces production costs and is conducive to simplifying the structure of the shell, thereby reducing and saving space, and is conducive to making the frame 100 narrower.

[0030] For the above frame body 1, see Figure 2The frame body 1 is provided with a through slot 11, a first latching slot 12, and a second latching slot 13. The first latching slot 12 and the second latching slot 13 are both formed by recessing the wall surface of the through slot 11. The first latching slot 12 and the second latching slot 13 are both connected to the through slot 11. The first latching slot 12, the second latching slot 13, and the through slot 11 are all provided with the shielding member 2.

[0031] For the above-mentioned shield 2, please refer to Figure 3 , the shielding member 2 is provided with a shielding piece 21, a clamping arm 22 and a pushing portion 23. The shielding piece 21 is used to block the camera of the terminal. One end of the clamping arm 22 is fixed to the shielding piece 21, and the other end of the clamping arm 22 is clamped to the first card slot 12 or the second card slot 13. When the clamping arm 22 is clamped to the first card slot 12, the shielding member 2 is in the first position, and when the clamping arm 22 is clamped to the second card slot 13, the shielding member 2 is in the second position. By clamping the clamping arm 22 to the first card slot 12 or the second card slot 13, the shielding member 2 is fixed in the first position or the second position, preventing the shielding member 2 from sliding on its own without external force. The pushing portion 23 is fixed to the surface of the shielding piece 21, and the pushing portion 23 is used to facilitate the user to push the shielding member 2.

[0032] The shielding piece 21 is provided with a shielding portion 211 , which is provided at the other end of the shielding piece 21 . The shielding portion 211 is used to shield the camera of the terminal.

[0033] In some embodiments, the clamping arm 22 is an elastic arm. Furthermore, in some embodiments, the number of the clamping arms 22, the first clamping slot 12, and the second clamping slot 13 are all two, and the two clamping arms 22 are symmetrically arranged, with one end of one clamping arm 22 fixed to one side of one end of the shielding piece 21, and one end of the other clamping arm 22 fixed to the other side of one end of the shielding piece 21. A first clamping slot 12 and a second clamping slot 13 are arranged on the first wall surface of the through-slot 11, and another first clamping slot 12 and another second clamping slot 13 are arranged on the second wall surface of the through-slot 11, with the second wall surface facing the first wall surface.

[0034] In some embodiments, the shielding piece 21 and the clamping arm 22 are made of polyester film or plastic in one piece, and the shielding portion 211 is formed at the other end of the shielding piece 21 by partial silk-screen printing or painting.

[0035] The surface of the pushing portion 23 away from the shielding piece 21 is provided with an anti-slip structure 231 to increase the friction force when the user pushes the pushing portion 23 .

[0036] In some embodiments, the anti-slip structure 231 is in the form of stripes or a grid. The anti-slip structure 231 in the form of stripes is in the form of steps.

[0037] In some embodiments, see Figure 2The frame 100 also includes a lens 3. The lens 3 is fixed to a surface of the frame body 1 and is covered by the clamping arm 22 and the shielding piece 21. The lens 3 is provided with an opening 31 and a light-transmitting structure 32. The opening 31 is connected to the through-slot 11 and is in the shape of an elongated strip. The opening 31 allows the pusher 23 to pass through. The opening 31 provides sliding space for the pusher 23 to slide relative to the opening 31. The opening 31 also serves to install and position the pusher 23. The light-transmitting structure 32 is used to allow light to pass through to facilitate the operation of the terminal's camera.

[0038] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 In order to save space and facilitate the installation of the lens 3, a mounting groove 14 is provided on one surface of the frame body 1. The mounting groove 14 is connected to the through groove 11 and accommodates the lens 3.

[0039] In some embodiments, the lens 3 is fixed to the frame body 1 by gluing.

[0040] In some embodiments, the light-transmitting structure 32 is a first through hole, and the first through hole is connected to the through groove 11 .

[0041] It is understandable that, in some embodiments, the light-transmitting structure 32 is not limited to the above structure, and the light-transmitting structure 32 may also be other structures. The light-transmitting structure 32 is a transparent part, which is used to prevent dust and foreign objects from entering the camera of the terminal.

[0042] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 The frame 100 further includes a cover plate 4. The cover plate 4 is fixed to the other surface of the frame body 1, which is the surface opposite to the first surface of the frame body 1. The cover plate 4 covers the shielding member 2, so that the shielding member 2 is located between the cover plate 4 and the lens 3, thereby preventing the shielding member 2 from falling out of the frame body 1. The cover plate 4 is provided with a second through hole 41, which is connected to the through groove 11. The second through hole 41 is used to allow light to pass through.

[0043] In some embodiments, the surface of the cover plate 4 facing the frame body 1 is provided with a first receiving groove 41 and a second receiving groove 42. The first receiving groove 41 is connected to the second receiving groove 42. The second receiving groove 42 is connected to the second through hole 41. The second receiving groove 42 and the first receiving groove 41 are used to receive a portion of the shielding member 2.

[0044] In an embodiment of the present invention, a frame 100 includes a frame body 1 and a shielding member 2. The frame body 1 is provided with a through slot 11. The shielding member 2 is disposed in the through slot 11. The shielding member 2 can slide relative to the through slot 11 between a first position and a second position. When the shielding member 2 is in the first position, the camera of the terminal is exposed. When the shielding member 2 is in the second position, the camera of the terminal is shielded by the shielding member 2. By disposing the shielding member 2 in the through slot 11 and enabling the shielding member 2 to slide relative to the through slot 11, the shielding member 2 is integrated into the frame body 1, eliminating the need for connection to the housing via a connector, thereby reducing production costs.

[0045] The present invention further provides a terminal embodiment, comprising the aforementioned frame 100. The structure and function of the frame 100 can be found in the aforementioned embodiments and will not be described in detail here. The terminal can be a tablet computer, a mobile phone, a smartwatch, a personal digital assistant (PDA), an in-car computer, a desktop computer, a laptop computer, a smart television, or the like.
