DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0042] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0044] The lens shielding device includes: a sliding member 2, a shielding member 3 and a connecting member 4;

[0045] The sliding member 2 is slidably mounted on the rear housing, and the middle frame 5 is provided with a through sliding groove 51 along its thickness direction;

[0046] The connecting member 4 crosses the sliding groove 51 and can slide along the length direction of the sliding groove 51; one end of the connecting member 4 is connected to the sliding member 2, and the other end is connected to the shielding member 3; after the connecting member 4, the sliding member 2 and the shielding member 3 are connected, the connecting member 4, the sliding member 2 and the shielding member 3 form a U-shaped structure as a whole;

[0047] The camera 1 is arranged on the edge of the middle frame 5 and is located in the U-shaped space of the U-shaped structure, and the lens of the camera 1 faces the shielding member 3;

[0048] The shielding member 3 can slide back and forth along the first direction along with the sliding member 2, switching between the first position and the second position; in the first position, the shielding member 3 and the lens are projected in the second direction, and the shielding member 3 blocks the lens; in the second position, the shielding member 3 and the lens are projected in the second direction, and the shielding member 3 and the lens are staggered with each other;

[0049] The length direction of the sliding groove 51 is parallel to the first direction, which is the vertical direction between the open end and the closed end of the U-shaped structure, and the second direction is the vertical direction between the sliding member 2 and the shielding member 3.

[0050] In the above technical solution, in the daily use of electronic equipment, when the user is not using the camera, such as Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the shielding member 3 is in the first position, and the shielding member 3 can block the lens of the camera to prevent the lens from being illegally invaded by illegal persons without the user's knowledge; when the user needs to use the lens, the sliding member 2 is moved along the first direction relative to the rear shell, and the shielding member 3 moves synchronously with the sliding member 2 until the shielding member 3 is in the second position (as shown Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown), the lens is not blocked by the shielding member 3, then the lens can be used normally; the sliding process of the shielding member 3 can refer to Figure 5-Figure 6 shown.

[0051] Compared with the existing technology, this technical solution achieves physical shielding of the camera lens by setting a shielding member, thereby protecting the privacy and safety of consumers.

[0052] In some embodiments, the device can be configured in conjunction with an extremely narrow middle frame, and the sliding member 2 can slide in a narrow space, thereby driving the shielding member 3 to shield the lens.

[0053] Optimize the above technical solutions, such as Figure 6 As shown, the sliding member 2 is provided with a paddle member 21;

[0054] The paddle member 21 is used to drive the sliding member 2 to slide back and forth along a first direction.

[0055] In the above technical solution, by utilizing the arrangement of the paddle member 21 , when the paddle member 21 is moved to drive the sliding member 2 to perform a reciprocating sliding motion, it is more convenient and faster, and saves manpower.

[0056] In order to further optimize the above technical solution, the paddle member 21 is a waist-shaped button structure, the length direction of the paddle member 21 is parallel to the first direction, the waist-shaped button is a finished product, and the manufacturing process is mature and stable, which is conducive to reducing costs and extending service life.

[0057] To further optimize the above technical solution, a paddle hole is provided on the top of the middle frame 5, and the paddle member 21 passes through the paddle hole and can slide along the length direction of the paddle hole, and the length direction of the paddle hole is parallel to the first direction;

[0058] The bottom of the paddle member 21 is connected to the sliding member 2 , and the top of the paddle member 21 passes through the paddle hole, so that at least a portion of the top of the paddle member 21 is located above the top of the middle frame.

[0059] In the above technical solution, the top of the paddle 21 is set outside the middle frame 5, and the user can paddle the paddle 21 outside the device to block the lens; it should be noted that the length of the paddle hole is greater than the length of the paddle 21.

[0060] In this technical solution, if Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the connecting member 4 includes: a first bone position 41, a second bone position 42 and a third bone position 43;

[0061] The first bone position 41 and the second bone position 42 are arranged on the sliding member 2, and the third bone position 43 is arranged on the shielding member 3;

[0062] A clamping portion for assembling with the third bone position 43 is formed between the first bone position 41 and the second bone position 42 .

[0063] In the above technical solution, the clamping part and the third bone position 43 are used for quick assembly to ensure the reliability of the clamping; after the clamping part and the third bone position 43 are assembled, they can be reinforced with fasteners; as preferred fasteners, screws or bolts can be used.

[0064] Specifically, such as Figure 8 As shown, the first bone position 41, the second bone position 42 and the sliding member 2 are an integrated structure. The integrated structure makes the lens blocking device structure more stable and not easy to be damaged, thereby extending the service life of the lens blocking device.

[0065] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, the third bone position 43 and the shielding member 3 are an integrated structure. The integrated structure makes the lens shielding device structure more stable and not easy to be damaged, thereby extending the service life of the lens shielding device.

[0066] In this technical solution, if Figure 7 As shown, a protrusion 31 is provided in the middle of the side of the shielding member 3 facing the lens;

[0067] The raised surface of the protrusion 31 can abut against the edge of the middle frame 5; in the first working position, the raised surface and the lens are projected in the second direction and are staggered with each other.

[0068] In the above technical solution, when the shielding member 3 switches between the first position and the second position, the raised surface of the raised portion 31 can contact the edge of the middle frame 5 during the sliding process, thereby giving the user a damping feeling during use and providing the product with a better user experience.

[0069] The above technical solution is optimized, and two protrusions 32 are provided on the convex surface, which further allows the user to feel the damping during use, so that the product has a better user experience.

[0070] In this technical solution, two ribs 33 are provided on the side of the shielding member 3 facing away from the sliding member 2;

[0071] The length directions of the two ribs 33 are parallel to the first direction.

[0072] In the above technical solution, since the shielding member 3 has a side with ribs that contacts the touch screen, two ribs are designed to limit the shielding member 3 in the up and down directions (such as Figure 3 movement in the up and down directions) while avoiding surface contact with the touch screen and damaging the screen.

[0073] In some embodiments, the shielding member 3 is in the shape of a long strip; Figure 3 In the figure, the dotted box represents the range box within which the camera 1 can shoot or take pictures.

[0076] In some embodiments, because the product is too small and the lens blocking device cannot be assembled as a whole, in order to realize the function of blocking the camera, the device is disassembled into two parts (sliding member 2 and blocking member 3). When assembly is required, the blocking member 3 is assembled on the middle frame of the tablet, and the sliding member 2 is assembled on the back shell of the tablet. The two parts are connected by the connecting member 4 to form a whole after assembly, which not only realizes the flexibility of assembly, but also meets the product function without changing the appearance. The device realizes a movable paddle in a small space.
