[0031] According to the camera shielding structure 100 of the first embodiment of the present invention, the camera shielding structure 100 is used in a vehicle. The vehicle includes a camera assembly, which includes a camera. The camera collects information about passengers in the vehicle in real time, monitors the situation in 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 monitor whether there are passengers in the vehicle who are not wearing seat belts and promptly issue an alarm or take measures. The number of cameras with various interactive functions arranged in the vehicle is increasing, greatly improving the driving experience and safety of the passengers in the vehicle. However, it also brings poor privacy to the passengers in the vehicle and makes them feel that they are being monitored in real time. Therefore, this application proposes a camera shielding structure 100.

[0032] The camera shielding structure 100 includes a fixing plate 10 and a cover plate 20. The fixing plate 10 is fixed inside the vehicle. The camera shielding structure 100 is connected to the vehicle body through the fixing plate 10. The cover plate 20 is rotatably connected to the fixing plate 10. In the rotation direction of the cover plate 20, the cover plate 20 is used to shield or expose the camera. The cover plate 20 occupies less space when rotating, and the rotation method of the cover plate 20 is simple, which is convenient for user operation.

[0033] When rotating the cover plate 20 , the user pushes the cover plate 20 , and the cover plate 20 can rotate quickly under the action of inertia, so as to save the user's effort in rotating the cover plate 20 .

[0034] When the user needs to cover the camera, the user manually rotates the cover 20 so that the cover 20 can rotate relative to the fixed plate 10, so that the cover 20 covers the camera; when the user needs to expose the camera, the user manually rotates the cover 20 so that the cover 20 can rotate relative to the fixed plate 10, so that the cover 20 exposes the camera.

[0035] For example, the cover plate 20 and the fixing plate 10 are both integrally formed plastic parts.

[0036] According to the camera shielding structure 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, the camera shielding structure 100 includes a fixing plate 10 and a cover plate 20. The fixing plate 10 is fixed in the vehicle. In the rotation direction of the cover plate 20, the cover plate 20 is used to shield or expose the camera. The cover plate 20 occupies less space when rotating, and the rotation method of the cover plate 20 is simple, which is convenient for user operation.

[0037] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 1 The vehicle includes a roof 41, and the camera assembly also includes a trim panel 42. The trim panel 42 is installed on the roof 41, and the camera is installed on the trim panel 42. The trim panel 42 has a through hole 43 opposite to the camera. The camera can collect information through the through hole 43. In the rotation direction of the cover plate 20, the cover plate 20 can cover or expose the through hole 43.

[0038] There is an installation cavity between the trim panel 42 and the ceiling 41, and the fixing plate 10 is inserted into the installation cavity. After installation, the fixing plate 10 is hidden between the trim panel 42 and the ceiling 41 and is not easily observed when riding in the vehicle. At the same time, the fixing plate 10 is inserted into the installation cavity, which makes it simple to fix the fixing plate 10 in the vehicle. After the vehicle leaves the factory, the user can purchase the camera shielding structure 100 by himself and insert the fixing plate 10 between the trim panel 42 and the ceiling 41. The camera shielding structure 100 is easy to install and convenient for daily operation.

[0039] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 1 The installation cavity includes a first sub-cavity and a second sub-cavity connected along the plug-in direction of the fixed plate 10, and the first sub-cavity and the second sub-cavity are arranged at an angle. The fixed plate 10 includes a first fixed plate 11 and a second fixed plate 12 connected to each other. The first fixed plate 11 is located in the first sub-cavity, and the second fixed plate 12 is located in the second sub-cavity.

[0040] The fixing plate 10 is installed into the installation cavity by external force. Since the first sub-cavity and the second sub-cavity are set at an angle, the first fixing plate 11 can prevent the second fixing plate 12 from detaching from the second sub-cavity after cooperating with the first sub-cavity, thereby increasing the structural strength of the fixing plate 10 installed in the installation cavity.

[0041] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 1 The first sub-cavity and the second sub-cavity are arranged vertically. After the first fixing plate 11 cooperates with the first sub-cavity, it can prevent the second fixing plate 12 from detaching from the second sub-cavity, further increasing the structural strength of the fixing plate 10 installed in the installation cavity.

[0042] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 1In the plugging direction of the fixing plate 10, the cross-sectional area of ​​the fixing plate 10 gradually decreases, that is, the cross-sectional area of ​​the free end of the fixing plate 10 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of ​​the area of ​​the fixing plate 10 close to the cover plate 20, which can facilitate the plugging of the fixing plate 10 into the installation cavity.

[0043] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 1 The camera shielding structure 100 further includes a rotating shaft 30. A first fixing portion is provided on the end of the cover plate 20 near the fixing plate 10. The first fixing portion has a first fixing hole.
