[0030] To achieve the above objectives, the embodiments of this utility model adopt the following technical solutions: (Refer to...) Figure 1 A camera concealment and protection structure includes a connecting piece 10 and a protective cover 20. The connecting piece 10 includes a base 110 and side portions 120, with the side portions 120 located at both ends of the base 110 and used to adjust the length of the connecting piece 10. The protective cover 20 is disposed on the base 110 and can translate and / or rotate along the inner side of the base 110. In actual use, the protective cover 20 is used to completely cover the periphery of the camera functional area. When in use, the camera concealment and protection structure can be completely disposed on the back side of the protective cover. Based on the left and right width of the protective cover, the distance between the side portions 120 and the sides of the base 110 is adjusted, allowing the protective cover 20 to move freely along the base 110 to a position corresponding to the mounting hole of the protective cover, ultimately causing the protective cover to snap into place around the mounting hole, thereby protecting the camera functional area of the smartphone using the protective cover 20.
[0031] It should be noted that the connecting piece 10 in this embodiment can be made of leather, which can improve the wear resistance of the connecting piece 10 and thus extend its service life.
[0032] This utility model utilizes connecting pieces and a protective cover to form a protective structure that covers the entire periphery of the camera functional area of a smartphone, thereby protecting the camera when it is not in use. This solves the problem that existing technologies cannot protect the camera surface and prevents damage to the camera functional area during daily use.
[0033] Reference Figure 7 As a preferred technical solution in this embodiment, the base 110 includes a central gripping area 111 and a connecting area 112. The connecting area 112 is located on both sides of the central gripping area 111, and the connecting area 112 and the central gripping area 111 are integrally formed. Specifically, during manufacturing, the aforementioned base 110 can be prepared by cutting. That is, firstly, a raw material of a certain size is selected, and according to the design dimensions, the raw material is cut into the set shape, thus forming the base 110.
[0034] Furthermore, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 To adjust the distance between the side portions 120 and the base 110, i.e., to adjust the length of the connecting piece, the camera concealment and protection structure further includes a first adjustment part 30 disposed between the connecting area 112 and the side portions 120. Specifically, the first adjustment part 30 includes a first connecting edge 310, a second connecting edge 320, and a first adjustment component. The first connecting edge 310 is connected to the connecting area 112, and can be integrally formed with the connecting area 112. The second connecting edge 320 is connected to the side portion 120, and can also be integrally formed with the side portion 120. The first adjustment component is disposed between the first and second connecting edges, and is used to realize the telescopic displacement between the first connecting edge 310 and the second connecting edge 320. This allows adjustment of the length of the side portions 120 distributed along the base 110, thereby adjusting the length of the connecting piece 10. Thus, the length of the connecting piece can be adjusted to facilitate gripping the camera concealment and protection structure.
[0035] Furthermore, refer to Figure 6The first adjustment component includes a first adjustment groove 331 and a first adjustment post 332. Specifically, the first adjustment groove 331 is formed on the second connecting edge 320. The first adjustment groove 331 includes a first strip groove 3311 and a first engaging groove 3312. The first engaging groove 3312 is located at both ends of the first strip groove and engages with the first adjustment post 332. The size of the first engaging groove 3312 is larger than the size of the first strip groove 3311. It should be noted that the first strip groove 3311 and the first engaging groove 3312 can be an integral structure, i.e., formed in one step by punching. The first adjustment post 332 is... On the first connecting edge 310, the first adjusting post 332 is used in conjunction with the first adjusting groove 331. When it is necessary to extend the length of the connecting piece 10, the first adjusting post can be moved from the first engaging groove 3312 near the side 120 to the first engaging groove 3312 away from the side. After the connecting areas 112 on both sides are adjusted, the length of the connecting piece can be extended. Since the size of the first engaging groove 3312 is larger than the size of the first strip groove 3311, and the first engaging groove 3312 is in conjunction with the first adjusting post 332, the first adjusting post 332 can be stably placed in the first engaging groove 3312 after the adjustment is completed.
[0036] It should be noted that the positions of the first adjusting groove 331 and the first adjusting column 332 are not limited to the aforementioned arrangement. The positions of the first adjusting groove 331 and the first adjusting column 332 can be interchanged. That is, the first adjusting groove 331 can be set on the first connecting edge 310, and correspondingly, the first adjusting column 332 can be set on the second connecting edge 320.
[0037] In addition, in order to improve the stability of the adjustment of the side portion 120 along both sides of the base portion 110, the first adjustment component on each side of the connecting piece 10 in this embodiment can be configured as multiple sets.
[0038] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 5In some embodiments, to enable the protective cover to translate and / or rotate along the inner side of the base 110, the camera hiding and protective structure further includes a second adjustment component 40 disposed between the base 110 and the protective cover 20. Further, the second adjustment component 40 includes a second adjustment groove 410 and a second adjustment post 420. The second adjustment groove 410 is opened along the length direction of the base 110, and the second adjustment post 420 is disposed on the outer side wall of the protective cover 20. Further, the second adjustment groove 410 includes a second strip groove 411 and a second fastening groove 412. The second fastening groove 412 is disposed at both ends of the second strip groove 411, and the second fastening groove 412 cooperates with the second adjustment post 420. Simultaneously, the size of the second fastening groove 412 is larger than the size of the second strip groove 411. It should be noted that... It is clear that the second strip groove 411 and the second fastening groove 412 can be an integral structure, that is, formed in one step by punching. In use, when it is necessary to adjust the setting position of the protective cover 20 along the base 110, the second adjusting column 420 on the protective cover 20 can be moved along the second strip groove 411 by driving it. When the protective cover 20 is moved to a suitable position on both sides of the base 110, the second adjusting column 420 can be fastened into the second fastening groove 412. Since the size of the second fastening groove 412 is larger than the size of the second strip groove 411, and the second fastening groove 412 cooperates with the second adjusting column 420, the position of the protective cover 20 can be limited and fixed when the second adjusting column 420 is located in the second fastening groove 412, so as to use the fixed protective cover 20 to protect the camera functional area.
[0039] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the protective cover 20 can translate along the base 110, rotate along the base 110, and rotate during translation, thereby increasing the degree of freedom of movement of the protective cover 20.
[0040] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3The camera hiding and protective structure also includes a protective cover 50 located on the back of the phone. Furthermore, to facilitate protection of the phone's camera functional area, a mounting hole 510 corresponding to the camera functional area is provided on the back of the protective cover 50. Simultaneously, to connect the connecting piece 10 and its protective cover 20 to the protective cover 50, the connecting piece 10 is slidably connected to the outside of the protective cover 50 via a sliding assembly. Further, the sliding assembly includes a slide rail 610 and a sliding post 620. There are two slide rails 610, symmetrically located on opposite sides of the protective cover. The sliding post 620 is slidably disposed inside the slide rail 610, and the bottom end of the connecting piece 10 is fixedly connected to the sliding post 620. Thus, when it is necessary to connect the connecting piece 10 to the protective cover 50, the sliding post 620 at the bottom of the connecting piece 10 can be inserted from one end of the slide rail 610. In this way, the movement of the sliding post along the slide rail allows the connecting piece 10 to move outside the protective cover 50, thereby moving the connecting piece to a position suitable for the user's grip.
[0041] Furthermore, refer to Figure 4 , Figure 7 The slide rail 610 has a limiting post 611 at one end near the mounting hole 510, and the slide column 620 has a limiting groove 621 at one end near the mounting hole 510. After the connecting piece 10 and the protective cover 20 are installed in the slide rail, when the protective cover 20 is needed to protect the camera area of the smartphone, the connecting piece can be moved along the slide rail to move the connecting piece and the protective cover to a position close to the mounting hole, and finally the limiting groove 621 on the slide column 620 is engaged with the limiting post 611 to fix the position of the connecting piece. Then, the protective cover 20 is moved along the second strip groove 411 to move the protective cover to a position corresponding to the mounting hole, and then the protective cover can be fitted around the mounting hole. It should be noted that when the protective cover 20 is fitted around the mounting hole, the second adjusting post is located in the second fastening groove. In this way, the protective cover can be fixed by the cooperation of the second adjusting post and the second fastening groove.
[0042] It should be noted that since the protective cover 20 can rotate along the base 110, the protective cover 20 can be adjusted to a center position parallel to the base when the camera functional area is not protected. In this way, the protective cover does not correspond to the mounting hole, but is located on the outer wall of the protective sleeve. The user can hold the protective cover 50 by gripping the protective cover and the base with their fingers, thereby improving the grip experience.
[0043] This utility model also provides a smartphone 70 with a camera hiding and protective structure as described above on its back side. The protective cover 20 in the camera hiding and protective structure can completely cover the periphery of the smartphone's camera functional area. In use, the smartphone is placed inside the protective cover 50. When protection of the smartphone's camera functional area is needed, the protective cover can be moved close to the mounting hole by using a connecting piece along the protective cover, and then moved along its base to engage with the mounting hole. Thus, the protective cover achieves a protective effect. Therefore, the smartphone provided by this utility model can achieve a protective effect by using the movement of the protective cover along the protective cover to engage with the camera functional area when protection of the camera functional area is needed.
[0044] In use, the protective cover 50 is fastened to the back of the smartphone. The connecting piece 10 and the protective cover 20 are located inside the slide rail 610. When it is necessary to protect the camera function area of the smartphone, the sliding post 620 can be used to move along the slide rail 610 to move the connecting piece 10 and the protective cover 20 to a position close to the mounting hole 510, and finally make the limiting groove 621 and the limiting post 611 fit together. Then, the protective cover 20 is moved along the second strip groove 411 of the base 110 to move the protective cover 20 to a position corresponding to the mounting hole 510, and finally make the protective cover 20 be fastened to the periphery of the camera function area to achieve the protective effect.
[0045] The above-described embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model. Various modifications and improvements made by those skilled in the art to the technical solutions of the present utility model without departing from the spirit of the present utility model should fall within the protection scope defined by the claims of the present utility model.
