Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of sports camera accessories, in particular to a camera lens protective cover. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, action cameras have become a must-have for outdoor and extreme sports enthusiasts, thanks to their portability and high performance. Whether skiing, surfing, mountain biking, or hiking, action cameras can easily capture high-definition videos and photos, capturing the perfect moments.

[0003] Frequent use and complex and changeable shooting environments also pose challenges to the safety and maintenance of action cameras. The main function of action cameras is to collect images, so their optical imaging devices are particularly important, but they are also the most fragile and sensitive. If you are not careful, the action camera may be accidentally dropped, collided or rubbed, causing the lens to be broken or the lens surface to be worn, thereby affecting the overall image quality.

[0004] Traditional action camera lens covers will cause fogging on the inner surface due to the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the cover, which greatly affects the shooting quality. At the same time, the addition of a lens cover to the action camera also increases its own weight, which also brings certain inconveniences and burdens to users in some extreme sports shooting scenes. Secondly, the removal of traditional lens covers is also cumbersome, which is not conducive to the user's quick removal and installation when switching between different shooting scenes. Based on the above demands, it is particularly important to develop a lens cover that is light, fast, safe and strong, does not affect image quality, can protect the action camera lens, and extend the service life of the action camera. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the embodiments of the utility model is to provide a camera lens protective cover to solve the problems of lens damage or lens surface wear caused by accidental drops, collisions or friction during the process of carrying and using the camera. It also solves the problem of fogging of the inner surface of the lens protective cover due to the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the cover when shooting in harsh and complex environments, thereby affecting the overall image quality.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, an embodiment of the present invention provides a camera lens protective cover, which is used to cover and protect the camera lens. The lens protective cover includes a lens cover and a shell connected to the lens cover; the shell includes a first shell and a second shell.

[0007] Optionally, the upper parts of the first shell and the second shell are connected by a hinge structure; the two sides of the first shell and the second shell are fixedly connected by snap fastening.

[0008] Optionally, the upper portion of the shell has four hollow portions along the four corner edges.

[0009] Optionally, the shell has two notches at the connection with the lens cover, and the notches are located on the shell and symmetrically arranged on both sides of the lens cover.

[0010] Optionally, the notch portion has a boss structure along the edge of the notch.

[0011] Optionally, the first shell and the second shell are respectively connected to and fixed with one lens cover, and the lens cover is fixed on the first shell and the second shell in a front-to-back symmetrical manner or in a staggered manner.

[0012] Optionally, the lens cover is made of glass or plastic.

[0013] Optionally, the lens cover is an optical spherical cover adapted for a fisheye lens.

[0014] Optionally, the buckle has a buckling width of up to 1 cm.

[0015] Optionally, the shell is made of plastic.

[0016] The present invention provides a camera lens hood for covering and protecting a camera lens. The lens hood comprises a lens hood and a housing connected to the lens hood. The housing comprises a first shell and a second shell. The upper portions of the first and second shells are connected by a hinge structure. The sides of the first and second shells are fixedly connected by snaps. The snaps have a width of 1 cm. The first and second shells are conveniently connected as a whole for carrying and assembly, and the hinge structure allows the camera lens hood to be quickly and easily opened to an appropriate angle to quickly place the camera lens hood therein. The snaps also enable the camera lens hood to be securely and quickly installed and removed from the camera via the snaps. The housing is made of plastic. The upper portion of the housing has four hollow portions along its four corners to reduce the weight of the camera lens hood. The housing has two notches at the connection with the lens hood. The notches are located on the housing and symmetrically arranged on either side of the lens hood. These notches facilitate airflow through the two notches during camera movement, thereby reducing the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the lens hood and preventing fogging on the inner wall of the lens hood. The notch portion has a boss structure along the edge of the notch, forming an air duct, which is beneficial for more wind to enter the interior of the camera lens protective cover during the movement of the camera. The lens cover is made of glass, which can more easily ensure the heat dissipation of the camera after the camera lens protective cover is installed, thereby reducing the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the camera lens protective cover, and increasing the wear resistance of the lens protective cover itself. In summary, the embodiment of the present invention provides a camera lens protective cover, which not only solves the problems of the lens being broken or the lens surface being worn due to accidental drops, collisions or friction during the process of carrying and using the camera, but also solves the problem of the inner surface of the camera lens protective cover fogging due to the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the cover when shooting in harsh and complex environments, thereby affecting the overall image quality.
