It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the implementations described herein can be combined with other implementations.

[0047] The specific implementation of this application will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments:

[0048] Example 1.

[0049] This application provides a lens protection component, please refer to... Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is an exploded view of the overall structure of the lens protection assembly according to an embodiment of this application. The lens protection assembly is suitable for shooting devices and includes a protective cover 100. The protective cover 100 has a semi-circular structure and is adapted to the shape of the lens 500 of the shooting device. The protective cover 100 covers the lens 500 and protects the lens 500 from accidental scratches during camera use. The protective cover 100 is made of a transparent optical material, such as polymethyl methacrylate or polycarbonate, so it will not interfere with the propagation of light and will not affect the field of view of the lens 500, allowing users to use the shooting device directly without removing the lens protection assembly.

[0050] The lens protection assembly also includes a base 300, which is ring-shaped and disposed around the lens 500 of the shooting device. The base 300 conforms to the bottom shape of the lens 500 and surrounds the bottom of the lens 500. The base 300 includes a main body 310 and a mounting portion 320. The mounting portion 320 is fixedly connected to the protective cover 100. Specifically, the mounting portion 320 is located inside the main body 310 and is used to fit against the bottom edge of the protective cover 100.

[0051] like Figure 2 As shown, the lens protection assembly also includes a mounting member 200, which is disposed around the lens 500. The mounting member 200 is a structural component; it can be disposed around the lens 500 in the form of a mounting base, or multiple independent structural components can be arranged around the lens 500. This application embodiment does not impose specific limitations. Figure 2The mounting base 200 is just one specific embodiment of this application. The main body 310 of the base 300 and the mounting component 200 are detachably fixedly connected by magnetic attraction. The strength of the magnetic fixation depends on the magnetic strength of the main body 310 and the mounting component 200. The magnetic fixation method is simple and reliable, and allows users to quickly install and remove the protective cover 100.

[0052] One specific embodiment is that the mounting component 200 is magnetic, and the main body 310 of the base 300 is made of metal. Specifically, the mounting component 200 contains a magnetic component 400. The mounting component 200 is a mounting base fixed around the lens 500, and the mounting base is annular to adapt to the shape of the lens 500. One or more magnetic components 400 are embedded in the mounting base, and the magnetic components 400 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the mounting base to form a stable and uniform magnetic field, so that the main body 310 can be fixed more firmly. The main body 310 is made of metal, such as iron, which is easily attracted by magnetic materials. To reduce the weight of the base 300, the main body 310 is a thin, annular iron sheet. The main body 310 is magnetically connected to the mounting component 200 through the magnetic component 400. When the main body 310 is placed around the bottom of the lens 500, it can be quickly and firmly fixed around the lens 500 due to the attraction of the magnetic component 400.

[0053] Specifically, another embodiment is that the mounting component 200 itself is made of magnetic material. The mounting component 200 is a magnetic component, which is distributed and installed around the lens 500. For example, it can be installed and embedded in the lens assembly, or installed and embedded in the space around the lens 500, as long as a stable magnetic field can be formed around the lens 500. The main body 310 is made of metal, such as the main body 310 being a ring-shaped thin iron sheet. The main body 310 is magnetically connected to the mounting component 200. When the main body 310 is placed around the bottom of the lens 500, it can be quickly and firmly fixed around the lens 500 due to the attraction of the mounting component 200.

[0054] One specific embodiment is that the main body 310 is magnetic, and the mounting component 200 is made of metal. Specifically, the main body 310 contains magnetic components, such as... Figure 3As shown, the main body 310 has multiple magnetic components 400 embedded inside, or multiple magnetic components 400 are arranged on the surface of the main body 310. The mounting component 200 is a metal mounting base fixed around the lens 500. The mounting base is ring-shaped to adapt to the shape of the lens 500. Alternatively, the mounting component 200 is a metal component mounted around the lens 500. The main body 310 is magnetically connected to the mounting component 310 through the multiple embedded magnetic components 400 or the multiple magnetic components 400 arranged on the surface of the main body 310.

[0055] Specifically, in another embodiment, the main body 310 itself is made of magnetic material, and the mounting member 200 is a metal mounting base fixed around the bottom of the lens 500. The mounting base is ring-shaped to adapt to the shape of the lens 500. Alternatively, the mounting member 200 is a metal part installed around the lens 500. When the protective cover 100 is close to the lens 500, the main body 310 and the mounting member 200 are magnetically connected.

[0056] In one specific embodiment, the mounting portion 320 of the base 300 is bonded to the protective cover 100. Specifically, the bottom edge of the protective cover 100 is bonded to the mounting portion 320 by applying adhesive.

[0057] One specific embodiment is that the main body 310 and the mounting part 320 are integrally formed, and the mounting part 320 is located inside the main body 310. The main body 310 is used to facilitate the user to pick up and put down the base 300. Alternatively, it can be understood that the mounting part 320 is only a region on the base 300 for connecting with the protective cover 100. The mounting part 320 and the main body 310 are not specifically restricted in position. The region on the base 300 that connects with the protective cover 100 is the mounting part 320, and the other regions are the main body 310.

[0058] One specific embodiment is that the mounting part 320 includes:

[0059] Multiple positioning holes 321 are spaced apart circumferentially along the base 300, and the edge of the protective cover 100 has multiple positioning posts 110, such as... Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 The diagram shows the structure of the protective cover 100. Multiple positioning posts 110 are spaced apart circumferentially along the edge of the protective cover 100. Multiple positioning holes 321 cooperate with multiple positioning posts 110 to achieve positioning and cooperation between the protective cover 100 and the base 300.

[0060] The mounting part 320 also includes a plurality of adhesive parts 323, which are distributed at intervals with the positioning holes 321, so that the protective cover 100 and the base 300 are fixed by adhesive during positioning and installation.

[0061] One specific embodiment includes a plurality of elongated holes 322 in the mounting portion 320. These elongated holes 322 are distributed circumferentially along the mounting portion 320, with each hole located between two adjacent positioning holes 321. By providing a plurality of elongated holes 322, the weight of the base 300 can be reduced, thus lowering material costs, without affecting the magnetic connection effect.

[0062] One specific embodiment is that the number of positioning holes 321 is 8, the number of positioning posts 110 is also 8, and the number of elongated holes 322 is 4. The elongated holes 322, the positioning holes 321, and the adhesive parts 323 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the mounting parts 320.

[0063] One specific implementation is that the edge of the main body 310 has a trapezoidal toothed structure, which is convenient for users to pick up and use, and facilitates users to fix and disassemble it.

[0064] Example 2.

[0065] This application provides a shooting device for use in conjunction with a lens protection assembly provided in any specific embodiment of this application.

[0066] One specific embodiment is that the shooting device includes:

[0067] case;

[0069] Example 3.

[0070] This application provides a panoramic camera 600, including a lens protection component provided in any specific embodiment of this application and a shooting device provided in a specific embodiment of this application.

[0071] like Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the panoramic camera 600 of this application. The panoramic camera 600 includes a lens 500, which is embedded in the surface of the housing of the panoramic camera 600. A mounting component 200 is fixed around the bottom of the lens 500. The base 300 is magnetically and detachably connected to the mounting component 200 and fixed to the outside of the mounting component 200, so that the user can easily install, fix and remove the base 300, which is convenient for repeated installation and disassembly without wear and tear that could lead to insecure fixing.

[0072] Unlike existing technologies, this application provides a lens protection component, a shooting device, and a panoramic camera. The lens protection component is suitable for use with the shooting device and includes:

[0073] A protective cover is provided for attaching to the lens of the imaging device;

[0074] The base is ring-shaped and includes a main body and a mounting part, wherein the mounting part is fixedly connected to the protective cover;

[0075] Mounting components are disposed around the lens;

[0076] The main body is magnetically connected to the mounting component.

[0077] As can be seen from the above technical solutions, the embodiments of this application have the following advantages:

[0078] The lens protection component provided in this application uses magnetic attraction to fix the lens cover around the lens of the shooting device. By simply adding a magnetic component, the lens cover can be easily fixed around the lens.
