[0037] Please refer to Figures 1-9 It illustrates a camera device provided in an embodiment of the present invention, comprising:
[0038] The housing 1 includes a mounting part 11, which is provided with a first light-transmitting hole 111 and a second light-transmitting hole 112.
[0039] Camera 2 is located inside housing 1 and is positioned corresponding to the first light-transmitting hole 111;
[0040] A fill light 3 is installed inside the housing 1, close to the camera 2, and is positioned corresponding to the second light-transmitting hole 112.
[0041] Light blocking component 4 is used to open or close the second light-transmitting hole 112. The light blocking component 4 is located on the side of the mounting part 11 close to the camera 2, and the light blocking component 4 is located between the camera 2 and the second light-transmitting hole 112.
[0042] When the supplementary light 3 is turned on, the light-blocking component 4 opens the second light-transmitting hole 112 to allow the light from the supplementary light 3 to pass through. When the supplementary light 3 is turned off, the light-blocking component 4 closes the second light-transmitting hole 112.
[0043] In this embodiment, the housing 1 serves to protect the camera 2 and the fill light 3. The first light-transmitting hole 111 facilitates image formation by the camera 2, and the second light-transmitting hole 112 facilitates the passage of light from the fill light 3, improving the camera's shooting effect in darker environments and making the captured images clearer. The light-blocking component 4 can prevent the fill light 3 from being damaged and also prevent the fill light 3 from aging rapidly in sunlight or strong light environments, thus extending the service life of the fill light 3. At the same time, it also achieves an aesthetic effect, meeting people's consumer needs.
[0044] In one embodiment, the light-blocking assembly 4 includes a light sensor 41, a light-blocking element 42, and a driving assembly 43. The light sensor 41 is disposed on the side of the light-blocking element 42 near the supplementary light 3. The light-blocking element 42 is connected to the driving assembly 43 in a transmission manner. The light sensor 41 is connected to the driving assembly 43 in a signal manner. The light-blocking element 42 and the driving assembly 43 are disposed on the side of the mounting portion 11 near the camera 2.
[0045] The fill light 3, camera 2 and light-blocking component 4 are electrically connected, and the fill light 3 and camera 2 are located on the same circuit board.
[0046] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, when the external environment of the camera device is dark, the light sensor 41 detects that the ambient light has not reached a certain level of illumination. The light sensor 41 sends an activation signal to the fill light 3, and the fill light 3 turns on. After receiving the light from the fill light 3, the light sensor 41 transmits the activation signal to the drive component 43. The drive component 43 drives the light-blocking component 42 to move, thereby opening the second light-transmitting hole 112 so that the light from the fill light 3 can pass through, and the camera receives supplementary light, resulting in clearer imaging. After the fill light 3 turns off, the light sensor 41 does not receive the light from the fill light 3 and transmits a shutdown signal to the drive component 43. The drive component 43 drives the light-blocking component 42 to move, thereby closing the second light-transmitting hole 112. When the external environment of the camera device is bright, the light sensor 41 detects that the ambient light has not reached a certain level of illumination. At this time, the camera works normally, the fill light 3 is off, the light sensor 41 does not receive the light from the fill light 3, and the light-blocking component 42 is in the state of closing the second light-transmitting hole 112.
[0047] In one embodiment, the drive assembly 43 includes a servo motor 431 and a drive screw 432. One end of the drive screw 432 is connected to the servo motor 431, and the other end is fixedly connected to the light-blocking member 42. The servo motor 431 drives the drive screw 432 to extend and retract, thereby causing the light-blocking member 42 to move back and forth, so that the light-blocking member 42 opens or closes the second light-transmitting hole 112.
[0048] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 andFigure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the servo motor 431 and the drive screw 432 are located on the side of the mounting part 11 near the camera 2. The end of the light-blocking member 42 away from the servo motor 431 is provided with a fixing part, and the fixing part is provided with a fixing hole. One end of the drive screw 432 is connected to the servo motor 431, and the other end is fixed in the fixing hole. When the external environment of the camera device is dark, the light sensor 41 sends an activation signal to the fill light 3, and the fill light 3 is turned on. After receiving the light from the fill light 3, the light sensor 41 transmits the activation signal to the servo motor 431. The servo motor 431 retracts through the drive screw 432 to drive the light-blocking member 42 to gradually move towards the servo motor 431 and gradually away from the second light-transmitting hole 112, thereby opening the second light-transmitting hole 112 so that the light from the fill light 3 can pass through, the camera receives supplementary light, and the image is clearer. After the fill light 3 is turned off, the light sensor 431... If the light sensor 41 does not receive light from the supplementary light 3, it transmits a shutdown signal to the servo motor 431. The servo motor 431 drives the lead screw 432 to extend, thereby driving the light-blocking component 42 to gradually move away from the servo motor 431 and gradually approach the second light-transmitting hole 112 until it completely blocks the second light-transmitting hole 112, thus closing the second light-transmitting hole 112. When the external environment of the camera device is bright, the camera works normally, the supplementary light 3 is off, the light sensor 41 does not receive light from the supplementary light 3, and the light-blocking component 42 is in the state of closing the second light-transmitting hole 112.
[0049] In one embodiment, the light-blocking assembly 4 further includes a guide plate 44 and a fixing member 45. The mounting part 11 is provided with a first mounting groove 113 on the side near the camera 2. The light-blocking member 42 is movably disposed in the first mounting groove 113. The guide plate 44 is disposed on the side of the mounting part 11 near the camera 2 and fixes the light-blocking member 42 in the first mounting groove 113. The fixing member 45 is fixedly connected to the guide plate 44. The servo motor 431 is disposed between the fixing member 45 and the guide plate 44.
[0050] like Figure 1 , Figures 3-5 and Figures 7-8As shown, in this embodiment, the guide plate 44 is bonded to the mounting part 11. The guide plate 44 is provided with a positioning post (441). The guide plate 44 is fixedly connected to the fixing member 45 through the positioning post (441). The servo motor 431 is clamped between the fixing member 45 and the guide plate 44. The second light-transmitting hole 112 is provided in the first mounting groove 113. The end of the light-blocking member 42 away from the servo motor 431 is provided with a fixing part. The fixing part is provided with a fixing hole. One end of the drive screw 432 is connected to the servo motor 431, and the other end is fixedly provided in the fixing hole. When the external environment of the camera device is dark, the light sensor 41 detects that the ambient light has not reached a certain level of illumination. The light sensor 41 sends an activation signal to the fill light 3, and the fill light 3 turns on. After the light sensor 41 receives the light from the fill light 3 and the fill light 3 reaches a certain level of illumination, it sends an activation signal to the servo motor 431. The servo motor 431 drives the lead screw 432 to retract, thereby driving the light blocking component 42 to gradually move closer to the servo motor 431 and further away from the second light-transmitting hole 112 in the first mounting groove 113. This opens the second light-transmitting hole 112, allowing the light from the fill light 3 to pass through, providing supplementary lighting for the camera and resulting in clearer imaging. When the fill light 3 is turned off, the light sensor 41 does not receive light from the fill light 3 and transmits a shutdown signal to the servo motor 431. The servo motor 431 drives the lead screw 432 to extend, thereby driving the light-blocking component 42 to gradually move away from the servo motor 431 and gradually approach the second light-transmitting hole 112 in the first mounting groove 113 until it completely blocks the second light-transmitting hole 112, thus closing the second light-transmitting hole 112. When the external environment of the camera device is bright, the light sensor 41 detects that the external ambient light has not reached a certain illuminance. At this time, the camera works normally, the fill light 3 is turned off, the light sensor 41 does not receive light from the fill light 3, and the light-blocking component 42 is located in the first mounting groove 113 and blocks the second light-transmitting hole 112, so that the second light-transmitting hole 112 is in a closed state.
[0051] The light-blocking component 42 is fixed and restricted to move within the first mounting groove 113 by the guide plate 44, so that the light-blocking component 42 moves stably within the first mounting groove 113. Thus, the second light-transmitting hole 112 is opened or closed under the drive of the servo motor 431, which improves the overall stability. The servo motor 431 is clamped between the fixing component 45 and the guide plate 44, which saves space. The first mounting groove 113 reduces the weight of the camera device, further saving space and reducing costs.
[0052] In one embodiment, the light-blocking member 42 is a dimming glass, which is fixedly disposed on the side of the mounting part 11 near the camera 2 and covers the second light-transmitting hole 112. The dimming glass is electrically connected to the fill light 3.
[0053] like Figure 9As shown, in one embodiment, the mounting part 11 is provided with a first mounting groove 113 on the side near the camera 2, the light blocking member 4 is a light-transmitting glass, the second light-transmitting hole 112 is provided in the first mounting groove 113, and the light-transmitting glass is fixedly installed in the first mounting groove 113 and covers the second light-transmitting hole 112.
[0054] When the external environment of the camera device is dark, the light sensor 41 detects that the ambient light has not reached a certain level. The light sensor 41 sends an activation signal to the fill light 3. When the fill light 3 is turned on, the dimming glass is electrically connected to the fill light 3 and opens synchronously. At this time, the dimming glass is in a transparent state, and the second light-transmitting hole 112 is opened, allowing the light from the fill light 3 to pass through the second light-transmitting hole 112, so that the camera receives supplementary light and the image is clearer. When the fill light 3 is turned off, the dimming glass closes synchronously. At this time, the dimming glass is in an opaque state, and the second light-transmitting hole 112 is closed.

[0061] In one embodiment, the defogging assembly 5 includes a temperature and humidity sensor 51 and a heating element 52. The temperature and humidity sensor 51 is disposed on the housing 1 and is signal-connected to the heating element 52. The heating element 52 is disposed on the mounting part 11 and on the side close to the light-transmitting cover 6.
[0062] like Figures 1-2 and Figure 6As shown, in this embodiment, when the temperature and humidity sensor 51 senses that the external temperature is too low and the humidity is too high, it transmits a start signal to the heating element 52, and the heating element 52 works, causing the temperature inside the housing 1 and the light-transmitting cover 6 to rise, preventing fogging on the surface of the light-transmitting cover 6, and making the image formed by the camera clearer; when the temperature and humidity sensor 51 senses that the external temperature and humidity have returned to normal, it transmits a shut-off signal to the heating element 52, and the heating element 52 stops working.
