[0034] Reference below Figures 1-6 A camera shielding device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0035] According to the camera shielding device 100 of the first embodiment of the present invention, the camera shielding device 100 is used in a vehicle, which includes a camera device 30, which includes a camera 321 and a fill light 322. The camera 321 collects information about passengers in the vehicle in real time, monitors the situation inside the vehicle in real time, analyzes the facial expressions and voices of the passengers in the vehicle, identifies their emotional state, and provides comfort services such as music and lighting adjustment as needed. It can also detect whether any passengers in the vehicle are not wearing seat belts and promptly issue an alarm or take measures. In low light conditions, the fill light 322 can provide additional light, making the images captured by the camera 321 clearer and the colors more realistic. Moreover, the fill light 322 can provide sufficient illumination at night or in dim environments, helping monitoring equipment to more accurately identify targets, thereby improving the level of safety precautions.

[0036] In the related art, the number of cameras 321 with various interactive functions arranged in the car is increasing, which greatly improves the driving experience and safety of the passengers in the car, but also subjectively brings poor privacy to the passengers in the car and makes them feel like they are being monitored in real time. In this application, a camera shielding device 100 is proposed.

[0037] The camera shielding device 100 includes a trim panel 10 and a cover panel 20. The trim panel 10 is installed in the vehicle. The trim panel 10 is provided with a first through hole 11 opposite to the camera 321 and a second through hole 12 opposite to the fill light 322. The trim panel 10 has a guide rail 13. The cover panel 20 slides with the guide rail 13. In the sliding direction of the cover panel 20, the cover panel 20 is used to shield or expose the camera 321 and the fill light 322. The user manually pushes the cover panel 20 to slide along the guide rail 13 to shield or expose the camera 321 and the fill light 322. The operation is convenient, which improves the user's trust and meets the needs of the vehicle occupants for shielding the camera 321.

[0038] Directly setting the guide rail 13 on the decorative panel 10 can make the camera shielding device 100 simple in structure and facilitate the sliding of the cover 20; at the same time, the decorative panel 10 can be used to shield the cover 20, making it difficult for users to observe the decorative panel 10, making it visually beautiful without affecting the interior decoration of the vehicle.

[0039] In order to enable the camera 321 to collect information through the first through hole 11, the shape of the first through hole 11 can match the appearance of the camera 321, and the first through hole 11 can be a circular hole; the fill light 322 can provide an additional light source for the camera 321 to collect information, and the shape of the second through hole 12 can match the appearance of the fill light 322, and the second through hole 12 can be a square hole.

[0040] For example, the trim panel 10 has a connecting column 18 set toward the vehicle body. There are two connecting columns 18, and the two connecting columns 18 are spaced apart along the length direction of the trim panel 18. Each connecting column 18 is provided with a fixing hole 181, which can be connected to the vehicle body by screws passed through the fixing holes 181, so that the trim panel 10 can be installed on the car roof or reading light.

[0041] The cover 20 is used to shield the camera 321 and the fill light 322 . If the cover 20 does not shield the fill light 322 , the user may mistake the fill light 322 for the camera 321 and thus believe that the camera 321 is not shielded.

[0042] According to the camera shielding device 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, the user manually pushes the cover 20 to slide along the guide rail 13 to block or expose the camera 321 and the fill light 322. The operation is convenient, which improves the user's trust and meets the user's demand for shielding the camera 321. At the same time, the guide rail 13 is directly processed on the decorative panel 10, which can make the camera shielding device 100 simple in structure and facilitate the sliding of the cover 20.

[0043] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figures 1-4 The trim panel 10 includes a trim panel body 15 and a plurality of hooks 16 . The plurality of hooks 16 are connected to the trim panel body 15 and are spaced apart on a side of the trim panel body 15 facing the cover panel 20 . A guide rail 13 is formed between the plurality of hooks 16 and the trim panel body 15 . The number of hooks 16 can be adjusted based on the length of the cover panel 20 and the trim panel 10 . The formation of the guide rail 13 between the plurality of hooks 16 and the trim panel body 15 can reduce the amount of raw materials used in the trim panel 10 , thereby reducing costs.

[0044] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 1-Figure 3 The side of the hook 16 away from the trim body 15 has an inclined guide surface 161. The guide surface 161 is inclined from the outer side of the hook 16 toward the cover plate 20. The cover plate 20 is suitable for being installed in the guide rail 13 through the guide surface 161. When the cover plate 20 is installed in the guide rail 13 through the guide surface 161, the cover plate 20 pushes the hook 16 to deform in the direction away from the cover plate 20. Then, the cover plate 20 can enter the guide rail 13 along the guide surface 161, which can facilitate the installation of the cover plate 20.

[0045] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 1 、 Figure 5 The cover plate 20 has a sliding groove 21 that slides with the guide rail 13. The sliding groove 21 can make the cooperation between the cover plate 20 and the guide rail 13 more stable. The sliding groove 21 can also limit the movement of the cover plate 20 in a direction perpendicular to the guide rail 13.

[0046] For example, the cover plate 20 may include a cover plate body and recessed portions connected to both sides of the cover plate body, wherein the thickness of the recessed portions is smaller than the thickness of the cover plate body, so as to form a sliding groove 21 between the recessed portions and the cover plate body.

[0047] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 2 、 Figure 5 A push block 22 is provided on the side of the cover plate 20 facing away from the decorative plate 10 . The user can quickly push the cover plate 20 by pushing the push block 22 , making it more convenient for the user to use the cover plate 20 .

[0048] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 1 、 Figure 4 The guide rail 13 includes a first direction (for example, see the attached Figure 1 The first guide rail 131 and the second guide rail 132 extend in the X direction (for example, see the attached Figure 1 The cover plate 20 is spaced apart in the Y direction, and both sides of the second direction are slidably engaged with the first guide rail 131 and the second guide rail 132 respectively, wherein the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction.

[0049] The first guide rail 131 and the second guide rail 132 can limit the sliding direction of the cover plate 20 so that the cover plate 20 can slide in the first direction along the first guide rail 131 and the second guide rail 132 , and the first guide rail 131 and the second guide rail 132 can better guide the cover plate 20 to slide.

[0050] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figures 1-4 , both ends of the decorative panel 10 along the first direction have a limit plate 141 for limiting the position of the cover plate 20 on the guide rail 13. When the cover plate 20 slides along the first guide rail 131 and the second guide rail 132, when the cover plate 20 slides to one end of the first direction of the decorative panel 10, the limit plate 141 located at the first direction end of the decorative panel 10 can limit the position of the cover plate 20 to prevent the cover plate 20 from detaching from the first guide rail 131 and the second guide rail 132; when the cover plate 20 slides to one end of the first direction of the decorative panel 10, the limit plate 141 located at the first direction end of the decorative panel 10 can limit the position of the cover plate 20 to prevent the cover plate 20 from detaching from the first guide rail 131 and the second guide rail 132.

[0051] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 1 、 Figure 5The cover 20 includes a first cover 23 and a second cover 24, which are spaced apart from each other. Both the first cover 23 and the second cover 24 slide in engagement with the guide rail 13. In the sliding direction of the first cover 23, the first cover 23 is used to block or expose the camera 321. In the sliding direction of the second cover 24, the second cover 24 is used to block or expose the fill light 322. The cover 20 includes the first cover 23 and the second cover 24, and the first cover 23 and the second cover 24 are spaced apart along the first direction, making the entire sliding cover relatively symmetrical and aesthetically pleasing.

[0052] When the user needs to block the camera 321, he or she can just push the first cover 23, while the second cover 24 can remain stationary; if the user feels that the fill light 322 will affect him or her, he or she can push the second cover 24. By setting the cover 20 as the first cover 23 and the second cover 24, a variety of options can be provided to the user.

[0053] In a specific example, the first cover plate 23 and the second cover plate 24 both have a push block 22 on their sides facing away from the decorative plate 10 , and the first cover plate 23 and the second cover plate 24 both have a slide groove 21 .

[0054] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 1 、 Figure 4 The guide rail 13 extends along the first direction, the first through hole 11 and the second through hole 12 are spaced apart along the first direction, and the decorative panel 10 has a limiting strip 142, which is located between the first through hole 11 and the second through hole 12. The limiting strip 142 is used to limit the position of the first cover plate 23 and the second cover plate 24 on the guide rail 13.

[0055] After the first cover plate 23 blocks the camera 321, the first cover plate 23 can continue to slide until it reaches the position of the limit bar 142. The limit bar 142 can prevent the first cover plate 23 from sliding further toward the second cover plate 24, preventing the camera 321 from being exposed when the first cover plate 23 continues to slide. After the second cover plate 24 blocks the fill light 322, the second cover plate 24 can continue to slide until it reaches the position of the limit bar 142. The limit bar 142 can prevent the second cover plate 24 from sliding further toward the first cover plate 23, preventing the fill light 322 from being exposed when the second cover plate 24 continues to slide.
