The purpose of the drawings is to supplement the textual description with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of the present utility model, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0025] Reference Figure 1-6 This utility model provides a laptop camera shielding device, which includes a front clamping plate 1, a support plate 2 fixedly connected to the side of the front clamping plate 1, a rear clamping plate 3 fixedly connected to the other side of the support plate 2, a displacement groove 9 provided in the front clamping plate 1, and a soft pad 18 fixedly connected to the lower end of the support plate 2, which effectively reduces the pressure of the device on the surface of the laptop.
[0026] Specifically: The upper end of the front clamping plate 1 is provided with a gear slot 4, a rotating shaft 12 is movably connected in the gear slot 4, a sliding gear 6 is movably connected on the rotating shaft 12, and the gear slot 4 is fixedly connected to the displacement groove 9 to achieve precise control of the sliding cover plate 8.
[0027] Specifically: a sliding cover plate 8 is movably connected inside the displacement groove 9, and a gear platform 10 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the sliding cover plate 8. Symmetrical camera holes 5 are opened on the side of the displacement groove 9. The sliding cover plate 8 is movably connected to the camera hole 5, and the gear platform 10 is movably connected to the sliding gear 6, which can provide effective shielding when needed.
[0028] Specifically: a symmetrical rotating plate 11 is fixedly connected to the side of the sliding gear 6, a plurality of friction strips 15 are fixedly connected to the outer side of the rotating plate 11, a first color plate 13 is fixedly connected to the side of the rotating plate 11, and a second color plate 14 is fixedly connected to the side of the rotating plate 11. The position of the sliding cover 8 is intuitively reflected by the change of color.
[0029] Specifically: The sliding cover plate 8 has symmetrical snap-fit positions 22 on its side, and symmetrical snap-fit plates 23 are fixedly connected in the displacement groove 9. The snap-fit plates 23 are movably connected to the displacement groove 9.
[0030] Specifically: Symmetrical bolt sleeves 19 are fixedly connected through the side of the rear clamping plate 3, and bolt shafts 16 are movably connected inside the bolt sleeves 19. The other end of the bolt shafts 16 is fixedly connected to a limit shaft 20.
[0031] Specifically: a clamping plate 7 is movably connected to the side of the bolt shaft 16, and symmetrical limiting sleeves 21 are fixedly connected to the side of the clamping plate 7. The limiting sleeves 21 are movably connected to the limiting shaft 20. Multiple friction points 17 are fixedly connected to the side of the clamping plate 7. The clamping plate 7 is movably connected to the front clamping plate 1, which improves the adaptability and ease of use of the device.
[0032] Working Principle: The core components of the device include a front clamping plate 1, a support plate 2, a rear clamping plate 3, and a sliding cover plate 8. The front clamping plate 1, as the main structure, is tightly connected to the rear clamping plate 3 via the support plate 2, forming a stable frame that fits snugly against the camera area of the laptop. The soft pad 18 at the lower end of the support plate 2 effectively reduces pressure on the laptop surface, protecting the computer from damage. A rotating shaft 12 and a sliding gear 6 are movably connected within the gear slot 4. The rotating shaft 12 is movably connected within the gear slot 4, while the sliding gear 6 is movably connected to the rotating shaft 12. This allows the sliding gear 6 to move with the rotation of the rotating shaft 12, thereby creating a linkage with the sliding cover plate 8 via the gear platform 10. The fixed connection between the gear slot 4 and the displacement groove 9 ensures the precise movement of the sliding cover plate 8 within the displacement groove 9. The position of the sliding cover plate 8 can be easily controlled by rotating the rotating shaft 12, achieving the blocking or exposure of the camera. The gear platform 10 fixed to the upper end of the sliding cover 8 is movably connected to the sliding gear 6, allowing the sliding cover 8 to move smoothly as the gear rotates. The camera hole 5 on the side of the displacement groove 9 provides a precise movement path for the sliding cover 8, ensuring that the sliding cover 8 can accurately block or expose the camera. The snap-fit position 22 on the side of the sliding cover 8 is movably connected to the snap-fit plate 23 in the displacement groove 9, enhancing the stability and accuracy of the sliding cover 8. A rotating plate 11 is fixedly connected to the side of the sliding gear 6. Multiple friction strips 15 are fixed to the outer side of the rotating plate 11, increasing the feel during rotation and preventing slippage. A first color plate 13 and a second color plate 14 are fixed to the side of the rotating plate 11. As the sliding cover 8 moves, the color plates on the rotating plate 11 change accordingly, reflecting the position of the sliding cover 8. A bolt sleeve 19 is fixedly fixed through the side of the rear clamping plate 3, and a bolt shaft 16 is movably connected inside the bolt sleeve 19. The other end of the bolt shaft 16 is fixed with a limiting shaft 20, which is movably connected to the limiting sleeve 21 on the side of the clamping plate 7. The clamping plate 7 can fit tightly against the surface of the laptop, and the clamping force can be easily adjusted according to the thickness of the laptop by adjusting the tightness of the bolt shaft 16. Multiple friction points 17 on the side of the clamping plate 7 enhance the friction between the clamping plate 7 and the front clamping plate 1, ensuring the stability and ease of use of the device.
[0033] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
