Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to camera device technical field especially a camera with prevent dazzling. BACKGROUND

[0002] The camera is applied to various occasions as a monitoring device to collect images of the environment. Especially in the monitoring field, the camera is cited more and more.

[0003] The common camera installation mode is fixed on a certain position in the outdoor or indoor through an installation structure. When monitoring from one space to another space is needed, the traditional method is to directly paste the camera on the glass through the adhesive method. For example, when indoor monitoring of the outdoor is realized, the camera is directly pasted on the glass. However, such operation has a problem, that is, when the glass is double or double-layer glass, dazzling is easy to occur, thereby affecting the monitoring picture quality.

[0004] In order to solve this technical problem, a camera assembly for preventing glare appears in the prior art. The camera assembly is a piece of Chinese invention patent application, the application number of which is 202411425383.7, which was filed on October 12, 2024, and published on November 26, 2024. The patent application discloses a technical solution that the camera assembly includes an imaging module and a first connecting piece, the first connecting piece is connected between the imaging module and the first side of the light-transmitting substrate, the first connecting piece is provided with a first light-transmitting hole and a light-shielding part, the first light-transmitting hole is arranged at the lens position of the imaging module, the light-shielding part is arranged around the first light-transmitting hole, and the light-shielding part protrudes outward from the outer circumferential surface of the imaging module along the radial direction of the imaging module, the imaging module transmits light through the first light-transmitting hole to image the scenery on the second side of the light-transmitting substrate; the side of the imaging module away from the first connecting piece is the third side, and the light-shielding part is used to block the light entering the light-transmitting substrate from the third side and then entering the imaging module after being reflected by the light-transmitting substrate. Thus, the first connecting piece blocks the light from entering the imaging module, thereby avoiding the problem of glare in imaging.

[0005] The above technical solution can solve the problem of glare, but it also has a problem, that is, the corresponding light-shielding part is arranged by extending outward from the radial direction of the entire imaging module, which leads to a large space area occupied by the light-shielding part.

[0006] Therefore, the above technical problem needs to be solved. UTILITY MODEL CONTENT

[0007] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the utility model provides a camera, which aims to solve the problem of excessive area of the light-shielding part in the prior art.

[0008] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides a basic technical scheme:

[0009] A camera is used for being mounted on the inner side of a light-transmitting base material, characterized in that the camera is configured to have:

[0010] A camera body comprises a shell and an imaging module in the shell, the shell has a front panel at the front end, and the lens of the imaging module is exposed at the front panel;

[0013] Further, when the camera is mounted on the inner side of the light-transmitting base material, the first light-blocking part abuts against the inner side of the light-transmitting base material.

[0014] Further, a second light-blocking piece is further included, which is configured to be arranged around the periphery of the first light-blocking piece to block light from the periphery of the second light-blocking piece from entering the space between the second light-blocking piece and the first light-blocking piece.

[0015] Further, when the camera is mounted on the inner side of the light-transmitting base material, the front end of the second light-blocking piece abuts against or is away from the inner side of the light-transmitting base material.

[0016] Further, the front end of the second light-blocking piece extends inwardly to the outer bottom of the first light-blocking part to form a transition surface.

The camera includes a camera body, a first connector, and a first light-blocking component. The first connector is located on the front panel of the camera body for assembly with the inner side of the light-transmitting substrate. The first light-blocking component has a first light-shielding portion and a first light-transmitting hole. The first light-shielding portion is configured to surround the lens position, allowing the lens to pass through the first light-transmitting hole to image the outer environment of the light-transmitting substrate from the inner side. The first light-shielding portion extends from one side of the lens towards the inner side of the light-transmitting substrate to block light from the periphery of the first light-shielding portion from entering the lens. In other words, this technical solution uses a first light-shielding portion surrounding the lens position to block external light from entering the area around the lens position. This eliminates the need to extend the light-shielding portion to the outer side of the camera, avoiding the problem of excessively large extended areas in traditional light-shielding components.

[0030] The following will be combined with the appendix Figure 1 To be continued Figure 6 The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model are clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0031] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this utility model, the directions involved are as shown in the accompanying drawings. If a specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, a camera 200 is used to be mounted on the inner side of a light-transmitting substrate 100. For ease of explanation, as... Figure 1 As shown, the right side of the light-transmitting substrate 100 is the inner side, and the left side is the outer side. In this embodiment, the camera 200 is mounted on the inner side of the light-transmitting substrate 100 for monitoring and recording the outer side of the light-transmitting substrate 100. The light-transmitting substrate 100 is, for example, transparent glass. This transparent glass can be single-layer glass, double-layer glass, or even multi-layer glass.

[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, the camera of this invention is configured to have a camera body 10, a first connector 20, and a first light-blocking member 30. The first connector 20 is disposed on the camera body 10 for assembly connection with the light-transmitting substrate 100. The first light-blocking member 30 is used to block light from entering the imaging module 102 of the camera body 10 in the radial direction, which is beneficial to improving the image quality.

[0034] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the camera body 10 includes a housing 101 and an imaging module 102 located within the housing 101. The housing 101 shapes the overall shape of the camera. The housing 101 has a front panel 1011 at its front end, which is mounted on the bottom shell 1012 of the housing 101 to form an assembly space (not shown in the figure). The imaging module 102 is mounted within this assembly space. The lens 1021 of the imaging module 102 is exposed at the front panel 1011.

[0035] In one specific embodiment, the first connector 20 is disposed on the front panel 1011 for assembly with the inner side of the light-transmitting substrate.

[0036] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the first light-blocking member 30 has a first light-blocking portion 301 and a first light-transmitting hole 302. The first light-blocking portion 301 is configured to be disposed around the lens position and to allow the lens to pass through the first light-transmitting hole 302 to achieve imaging of the outer environment of the light-transmitting substrate from the inside of the light-transmitting substrate. The first light-blocking portion 301 extends from one side of the lens toward the inside of the light-transmitting substrate to block light from the periphery of the first light-blocking portion 301 from entering the lens.

[0037] Specifically, in this embodiment, the lens of the imaging module 102 is surrounded by the first light-shielding part 301, and the first light-shielding part 301 extends from the inside to the front, i.e. Figure 2 As shown, the first light-shielding part 301 extends from the right side to the left side.

[0038] like Figure 5 As shown in the diagram, the arrows represent the optical path. Using this solution, light rays incident radially from the outside towards the lens of the imaging module 102 will be blocked by the first light-shielding part 301, thus achieving the purpose of light blocking. Simultaneously, the presence of the first light-shielding part 301 also blocks some of the light reflected by the multilayer glass. Therefore, this technology does not require the light-shielding part to extend beyond the entire camera body as in existing technologies.

[0039] Specifically, such as Figure 4 The first light-shielding part 301 shown is a ring-shaped structure, which is arranged around the lens of the imaging module 102. The corresponding first light-transmitting hole 302 is used to allow the lens to pass through for imaging. The presence of the first light-shielding part 301 will block the corresponding light. In specific assembly, the first light-blocking member 30 is mounted on the imaging module 102, and the first light-blocking member 30 extends outward through the through hole 10111 at the front panel 1011.

[0040] like Figure 3 As shown, the first light-blocking element 30 is assembled around the lens, and when assembled with the corresponding front panel 1011, the first light-blocking element 30, together with the lens 1021 of the imaging module 102, seals the through hole 10111 at the front panel 1011, further achieving a waterproof function. This prevents moisture from seeping in through the gap between the lens and the front panel 1011. In other words, in this embodiment, the first light-blocking element 30 achieves both light blocking and waterproofing. Specifically, the first light-blocking element 30 is made of soft silicone material.

[0041] In one specific embodiment, such as Figure 6 As shown, when the camera is installed inside the light-transmitting substrate 100, the first light-shielding part 301 abuts against the inner side of the light-transmitting substrate. That is, after the camera is assembled with the light-transmitting substrate 100, the first light-shielding part 301 contacts the inner side of the light-transmitting substrate, which can block more radially entering light and prevent light from passing between the first light-shielding part 30 and the light-transmitting substrate, thereby affecting the image quality.

[0042] In a more preferred embodiment, such as Figure 2The camera also includes a second light-blocking element 40, which is configured to surround the outer periphery of the first light-blocking element 30 to block light from the outer periphery of the second light-blocking element 40 from entering the space between the second light-blocking element 40 and the first light-blocking element 30. In this embodiment, the second light-blocking element 40 and the second light-blocking element 30 form a dual light-blocking effect. Specifically, the second light-blocking element 40 weakens radially projected light, further ensuring that less radial light is projected onto the first light-blocking element 30, thus achieving better light-blocking. Naturally, the second light-blocking element also extends from the inner side to the outer side to surround the outer periphery of the first light-blocking element 30.

[0043] In this embodiment, the second light-blocking element 40 and the front panel 1011 are an integral structure. That is, the second light-blocking element 40 is formed simultaneously with the front panel 1011. Specifically, the second light-blocking element 40 is preferably also a circular annular structure, arranged around the center of the lens of the imaging module 102.

[0044] Specifically, the second light-blocking element 40 is located at the front panel 1011 and does not protrude radially beyond the front panel 1011. That is to say, in this embodiment, the second light-blocking element 40 does not extend beyond the lateral portion of the entire camera body 10.

[0045] In one specific embodiment, when the camera is mounted inside the light-transmitting substrate 100, the front end of the second light-blocking member 40 either abuts against or moves away from the inner side of the light-transmitting substrate. That is, in the assembled state, the second light-blocking member 40 may or may not be in contact with the light-transmitting substrate 100. When in contact, it ensures that radial light is minimized in the area between the second light-blocking member 40 and the first light-blocking member 30. When a design is adopted that keeps the light-blocking member 40 away, it is possible to avoid damage or abrasion to the glass because the second light-blocking member 40 is made of a rigid material.

[0046] In another specific embodiment, in the inward and outward direction, the first light-shielding portion 301 extends outward relative to the second light-blocking member 40. That is, relative to the front panel 1011, the first light-shielding portion 301 protrudes outward. It should be noted that in this solution, the first light-shielding portion 301 is made of a soft material, so the first light-shielding portion 301 can deform. Thus, when the camera body 10 is pressed tightly against the light-transmitting substrate 100, the first light-shielding portion 301 can deform upon contact with the light-transmitting substrate 100, thereby ensuring that the first light-shielding portion 301 blocks radial light.

[0047] In another specific embodiment, the front end of the second light-blocking member 40 extends inward toward the outer bottom of the first light-blocking portion 301 to form a transition surface 401. The transition surface 401 gradually concaves inward from the outside in the radial direction and terminates at the edge of the through hole of the front panel 1011.

[0048] Specifically, the first connector 20 is located outside the first light-blocking member 30. The first connector 20 is used to assemble the entire camera with the light-transmitting substrate 100.

[0049] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the first connector 201 includes two parts 2011, which are located on the upper and lower sides of the first light-blocking member 30. Specifically, the two parts 2011 are respectively disposed on the upper and lower sides of the second light-blocking member 40.

[0050] In detail, in some embodiments, the upper and lower portions of the surface of the front panel 1011 are provided with grooves (not shown in the figure), and the two corresponding portions 2011 are assembled in the corresponding grooves.

[0051] In some embodiments, the first connector 20 is detachably connected to the front panel 1011. That is, the first connector 20 is replaceable. When it has been used for a long time, is damaged, or has other requirements, the corresponding first connector 20 can be removed and replaced with a new one. Specifically, the first connector 20 can be detachably connected to the front panel 1011, for example, using adhesive. Alternatively, it can be connected magnetically. That is, a magnetic structure is provided in the corresponding groove, and the first connector 20 also has a magnetic structure, allowing for quick assembly and disassembly.

[0052] like Figure 1 As shown, in order to assemble the camera with the light-transmitting substrate 100, the camera also includes a second connector 50. One side of the second connector 50 is connected to the inner side of the light-transmitting substrate, and the other side is detachably connected to the side opposite to the first connector 20.

[0053] During assembly, one side of the second connector 50 is first connected to the light-transmitting substrate 100, and then the entire camera is mounted onto the second connector 50. The other side of the first connector 20 and the second connector 50 are then assembled and connected.

[0054] In detail, the second connector 50 can be adhered to the translucent substrate 100 using adhesive. This method makes the operation simpler and faster. Preferably, one of the opposing surfaces of the first connector 20 and the second connector 50 is a velvet hook and loop fastener, and the other corresponding surface is a hook and loop fastener. That is to say, the first connector 20 and the second connector 50 are attached using hook and loop fasteners, which facilitates user operation.

[0055] In summary, this solution, by placing the first light-shielding part 301 of the first light-blocking member 30 on the outside of the lens of the imaging module 102, can block light rays from the radially outer side of the lens from entering the lens, thereby improving the imaging quality of the imaging module 102.

[0056] Based on the disclosure and teachings of the above specification, those skilled in the art can make changes and modifications to the above embodiments. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed and described above, and some modifications and changes to this utility model should also fall within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model. Furthermore, although some specific terms are used in this specification, these terms are only for convenience of explanation and do not constitute any limitation on this utility model.
