Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of camera equipment technology, and in particular to a camera privacy protection device and a camera. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, cameras are widely used in various scenarios, whether they are security cameras in smart homes, video conferencing equipment in offices, or shooting lenses on mobile devices. While bringing convenience to people's lives and work, privacy and security risks are also ever-present.

[0003] Currently, most cameras lack practical remote privacy masking functions. When users are outdoors and worry about their home cameras being illegally accessed and their privacy being invaded, they cannot effectively mask the cameras remotely and can only do so manually after returning home. During this time, their personal privacy is completely exposed to risk, especially when some smart devices may be illegally attacked. The lack of remote privacy protection becomes a major security vulnerability. Some cameras with mechanical masking structures, such as those using motor-driven sliding masking devices, often experience jamming of the masking parts during frequent use, making it impossible to completely cover the lens. This not only renders privacy protection ineffective but also affects the normal use of the device. Furthermore, the operation of the masking mechanism cannot be adjusted according to the user's actual needs. Utility Model Content

[0021] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0022] like Figures 1-5As shown, this utility model provides a camera privacy protection device and camera, including a base 1, a bracket 2 rotatably mounted on the base 1, a ball seat 3 fixedly mounted on the bracket 2, a motor box 6 fixedly mounted on the front side of the bracket 2, a driver 7 fixedly mounted inside the motor box 6, and the driver 7 electrically connected to the power supply inside the motor box 6 via a connecting wire, a micro motor 8 fixedly mounted inside the motor box 6 near the driver 7, and the micro motor 8 is also electrically connected to the driver 7 via a connecting wire, a shielding mechanism 9 is movably mounted on one side of the motor box 6 relative to the ball seat 3, the shielding mechanism 9 includes a cover 10 and a mounting box 12, a connecting plate 11 is fixedly mounted on the upper and lower ends of the cover 10, and the mounting box 12 is fixedly connected to one end of the lower connecting plate 11, a mounting groove 17 is opened in the mounting box 12, two adjusting seats 13 are inserted in the mounting groove 17, and clamping blocks 21 are movably mounted on opposite sides of the two adjusting seats 13.

[0023] like Figures 2-3 As shown, a lead screw 14 is fixedly installed at the output end of the micro motor 8, and the end of the lead screw 14 away from the micro motor 8 is rotatably installed in the motor box 6 on the side away from the micro motor 8. With the help of the driver 7, the micro motor 8 and the lead screw 14, the conditions for remotely controlling the movement of the cover 10 can be provided.

[0024] like Figures 1-5As shown, a side plate 15 is fixedly installed on one side of the connecting plate 11 relative to the ball seat 3, and a first slider 16 is fixedly installed on the opposite side of one of the connecting plates 11 and the side plate 15. Two extension slots 18 are opened at the top of the mounting groove 17, and the two extension slots 18 are arranged alternately. The mounting box 12 can provide installation conditions for the adjusting seat 13. The adjusting seat 13 has a C-shaped structure. A second slide groove 20 is opened on one side of the adjusting seat 13. The longitudinal section of the second slide groove 20 is T-shaped. A second slider 22 is fixedly installed on one side of the clamping block 21. The longitudinal section of the second slider 22 is also T-shaped, and the second slider 22 is slidably connected in the second slide groove 20. Screw grooves are opened on the opposite side of the two clamping blocks 21. A lever 19 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the adjusting seat 13. The adjusting seat 13 is inserted into the mounting groove 17. The adjusting seat 13 and the mounting groove 17 are also inserted into each other on one side. A compression spring 23 is inserted into the mounting box. The upper end of the lever 19 extends through one of the extension slots 18 to the top of the mounting box 12. The two clamping blocks 21 are threaded to the lead screw 14 on opposite sides via screw grooves. Each of the two adjusting seats 13 has a clamping block 21 with a screw groove. When the lead screw 14 rotates between the two clamping blocks 21, it can automatically drive the mounting box 12 to move, thereby driving the connecting plate 11 and the cover 10 to move. When the cover 10 is moved manually, the lever 19 on the two adjusting seats 13 can be pushed to disengage the screw groove on one side of the clamping block 21 from the lead screw 14, thereby enabling the connecting plate 11 and the cover 10 to be moved manually via the mounting box 12. The camera 4 has a first sliding groove 5 at both the upper and lower ends, and the first slider 16 is slidably connected in the corresponding first sliding groove 5.

[0025] It should be noted that this utility model is a camera privacy protection device and a camera. When remotely blocking the camera 4, a command can be issued to the driver 7 via a mobile phone or other terminal device, thereby causing the driver 7 to start the micro motor 8. The output of the micro motor 8 drives the lead screw 14 to rotate. Thus, the lead screw 14 rotates in the screw grooves on opposite sides of the two clamping blocks 21, causing the two clamping blocks 21 to move horizontally on one side of the motor box 6 under the control of the lead screw 14. The clamping blocks 21 synchronously drive the mounting box 12 to move through the adjusting seat 13. The mounting box 12 then drives the cover 10 to move horizontally in front of the camera 4 through one of the connecting plates 11, and the connecting plate 11 drives the cover 10 to move to the lens module in front of the camera 4, thus completing the blocking of the camera 4. When it is necessary to manually move the cover 10, the two levers 19 can be moved to one side with two fingers of one hand. The two levers 19 are pushed to the side, causing the clamping blocks 21 to move to one side. This causes the screw grooves on the opposite sides of the two clamping blocks 21 to disengage from the lead screw 14. The mounting box 12 can then be moved horizontally again with the help of the two levers 19 and the adjusting seat 13. This allows the mounting box 12 to move the cover 10 horizontally in front of the camera 4 via the connecting plate 11. When the cover 10 is adjusted to the appropriate position, the levers 19 can be released. Then, the two adjusting seats 13 are pushed towards each other by the force of the extension and rebound of the two compression springs 23. As a result, the two adjusting seats 13 drive the internal clamping blocks 21 to move towards the lead screw 14. The second slider 22 on one side of the clamping block 21 is slidably connected in the second slide groove 20. This ensures that the screw groove on one side of the clamping block 21 is automatically aligned with the spiral teeth on the outside of the lead screw 14, ensuring that the lead screw 14 can rotate normally in the screw grooves on the opposite sides of the two clamping blocks 21 later.
