Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of all-in-one computers, and in particular to a hidden camera for an all-in-one computer. Background Technology

[0002] All-in-one computers are a new market product that bridges the gap between desktop and laptop computers. They integrate the main unit and monitor into a single unit, and their innovation lies in the high degree of integration of internal components. For example, an all-in-one computer with announcement number CN216052824U includes a main unit module, a display module, and an optical drive assembly; the main unit module includes a base, a motherboard located inside the base, and a support column fixedly connected to the base.

[0003] All-in-one computers typically have built-in webcams, which cannot be hidden. In certain situations where the webcam function is not needed, an external object must be used to cover it, which is inconvenient. Furthermore, the webcam is rarely used during most of the computer's operation. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design an all-in-one computer with a hidden webcam to solve these problems. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a hidden camera for an all-in-one computer.

[0005] The technical problem of this invention is mainly solved by the following technical solution:

[0006] A hidden camera for an all-in-one computer includes a computer casing and a camera assembly mounted on the computer casing.

[0007] The computer housing has a box I at the top, with its top opening communicating with the outer space of the top of the computer housing. The camera assembly is located inside the box I. A protrusion is located at the middle of the bottom of the camera assembly, and a receiving groove is located at the bottom of the protrusion. A limiting component connected to the bottom wall of the box I is located in the receiving groove. Gear teeth are evenly arranged on both sides of the protrusion. Gears I that mesh with the uppermost gear teeth are located inside the box I on both sides of the protrusion. A rotating shaft extending to the rear of the computer housing is provided on gear I. Gear II is provided at the end of the rotating shaft on the back of the computer housing. Two sets of gear II are meshed, and one set of gear II is provided with a gear III that meshes with it. A box II covering gear II and gear III is also provided on the back of the computer housing. A drive shaft extending to the outside of box II is provided on gear III.

[0008] Preferably, the box body I is fixedly connected to the computer casing, and the size of the camera assembly is adapted to the size of the internal opening of the box body I.

[0009] Preferably, the limiting component includes a telescopic rod disposed in the receiving groove, the bottom end of the telescopic rod being fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the inner wall of the box I, the top end of the telescopic rod being provided with a rubber ball, and the top of the receiving groove being provided with a movable cavity for accommodating the ball.

[0010] Preferably, the protrusion is fixedly connected to the bottom of the camera assembly, the height of the camera assembly is less than the height of the protrusion, and the width of the protrusion is less than the width of the camera assembly.

[0011] Preferably, bearings I for fixing corresponding rotating shafts are provided on the side walls of both box body I and box body II, bearings II for fixing drive shafts are provided on the side wall of box body II, and a handle is provided on the drive shaft on the outside of box body II.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: When the camera needs to be used, the drive shaft can be rotated counterclockwise to drive gear III to drive two sets of gears II to rotate in different directions. Gear II drives gear I to rotate on the teeth through the shaft, thereby pushing the convex seat to slowly slide the camera assembly out of the box I. This allows the camera to be slid out of the box I when needed and hidden in the box I when not in use, thus effectively improving its applicability. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described in detail below through embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0020] A hidden camera for an all-in-one computer includes a computer casing 1 and a camera assembly 2 mounted on the computer casing 1.

[0021] The top of the computer housing 1 is provided with a box body I3. The top opening of the box body I3 is connected to the outer space of the top of the computer housing 1. The camera assembly 2 is located inside the box body I3. A protrusion 4 is provided at the middle of the bottom of the camera assembly 2. A receiving groove 5 is provided at the bottom of the protrusion 4. A limiting component 6 connected to the bottom wall of the box body I3 is provided in the receiving groove 5.

[0022] The two side walls of the protrusion 4 are also evenly provided with gear teeth 7. The box body I3 on ​​both sides of the protrusion 4 is provided with gear I8 that meshes with the uppermost gear teeth 7. The gear I8 is provided with a rotating shaft 9 that extends to the rear side of the computer housing 1. The end of the rotating shaft 9 on the back of the computer housing 1 is provided with gear II10. Two sets of gear II10 are meshed with each other, and one set of gear II10 is provided with gear III11 that meshes with it. The back of the computer housing 1 is also provided with a box body II12 that covers gear II10 and gear III11. The gear III11 is provided with a drive shaft 13 that extends to the outside of box body II12.

[0023] In this embodiment, the box body I3 is fixedly connected to the computer casing 1, and the size of the camera component 2 is adapted to the size of the internal opening of the box body I3.

[0024] The limiting component 6 includes a telescopic rod 61 disposed in the receiving groove 5. The bottom end of the telescopic rod 61 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the inner wall of the box body I3. A rubber ball 62 is disposed at the top end of the telescopic rod 61. An active cavity 63 for accommodating the ball 62 is disposed at the top of the receiving groove 5.

[0025] In this embodiment, the protrusion 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the camera assembly 2. The height of the camera assembly 2 is less than the height of the protrusion 4, and the width of the protrusion 4 is less than the width of the camera assembly 2.

[0026] In this embodiment, bearings I for fixing corresponding rotating shafts 9 are provided on the side walls of both box body I3 and box body II12. Bearings II for fixing drive shaft 13 are provided on the side wall of box body II12. A handle 14 is provided on the drive shaft 13 on the outside of box body II12.

[0027] During installation, connect the wires inside the box I3 that connect to the computer body and the wires on the camera assembly 2, and insert the protrusion 4 and the camera assembly 2 into the box I3. The receiving groove 5 at the bottom of the protrusion 4 is sleeved on the limiting component 6. When the protrusion 4 is between the two sets of gears I8, continue to push it downward so that the gear teeth 7 on the protrusion 4 mesh with the gears I8. At this time, the drive shaft 13 rotates the gear III 11 clockwise to drive the two sets of gears II 10 to rotate in different directions. The gears II 10 drive the two sets of gears I8 to rotate through the rotating shaft 9. This allows the gears I8 to drive the protrusion 4 and the camera assembly 2 to slide completely into the box I3 through the gear teeth 7 to lock and fix them. As the protrusion 4 continues to move downward, it will squeeze the ball 62 to shrink and deform and finally slide into the movable cavity 63.

[0028] When the camera is needed, simply rotate the drive shaft 13 counterclockwise to drive gear III 11 to drive two sets of gears II 10 to rotate in different directions. Gear II 10 drives gear I 8 to rotate on gear teeth 7 through the rotating shaft 9, which in turn pushes the protrusion 4 to slowly slide the camera assembly 2 out of the box I 3. This allows the camera to be slid out of the box I 3 when needed and hidden in the box I 3 when not in use, thus effectively increasing its applicability. When the camera assembly 2 and the protrusion 4 move upward, the telescopic rod 61 will extend through the movable cavity 63 and the ball 62. When the camera assembly 2 and the protrusion 4 move upward to a certain position, the telescopic rod 61 and the ball 62, which have extended to their maximum length, will create a large pulling resistance on the protrusion 4 and other components. At this time, stopping the rotation of the drive shaft 13 can effectively prevent the protrusion 4 and the camera assembly 2 from sliding out of the box I 3.

[0029] The present invention has been described in detail above, but the content described is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and should not be considered as limiting the scope of the present invention. All equivalent changes and improvements made within the scope of the present invention should still fall within the patent coverage of the present invention.
