[0035] In the existing technology, due to the setting of the shield, the camera body is recessed into the device, and the dust adhering to the camera body is not easy to clean, which affects the image quality.

[0036] The following is a home security camera with a shielding structure provided by this utility model, which can solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0037] In the diagram, units with similar structures are represented by the same labels.

[0038] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2and Figure 3 This utility model provides a home security camera with a shielding structure, including a camera housing 1, a camera body 2, and a shielding component 3. The camera body 2 is mounted on the camera housing 1, and the shielding component 3 is slidably connected to the camera housing 1. A cleaning component 311 is provided on the shielding component 3, located near the camera body 2, and is used to clean the camera during the movement of the shielding component 3. The shielding component 3 has a shielding state and an open state. When the shielding component 3 is in the shielding state, it shields the camera body 2, and the cleaning component 311 abuts against the camera body 2; when the shielding component 3 is in the open state, it is offset from the camera.

[0039] This utility model discloses a home camera with a shielding structure. By setting a cleaning component 311 on the shielding component 3, when the shielding component 3 switches between the open state and the shielding state, the cleaning component 311 can clean the camera body 2. Dust is not easily adhered to the camera body 2, and there is no need to clean the camera body 2 separately, which can effectively ensure the camera body 2's recording effect.

[0040] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 The cleaning component 311 includes a cleaning brush, which is located on the side of the cover 3 near the camera body 2. With the cleaning brush on the cover 3, the cleaning brush cleans the camera body 2 as the cover 3 switches between a covered state and an open state.

[0041] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The camera housing 1 has a receiving cavity 11. The camera has a camera hole 12 and an operation hole 13. The camera body 2 faces the camera hole 12, and the operation hole 13 is an elongated slot. The blocking component 3 includes a blocking plate 31 and a toggle block 32 connected to each other. The cleaning component 311 is disposed on the blocking plate 31, and the toggle block 32 passes through the operation hole 13. When the blocking component 3 is in the blocking state, the toggle block 32 is located at one end of the operation hole 13, and the blocking plate 31 blocks the camera body 2; when the blocking component 3 is in the open state, the toggle block 32 is located at the other end of the operation hole 13, and the blocking plate 31 is offset from the camera.

[0042] The camera hole 12 facilitates the camera body 2 to take pictures outwards, and the operation hole 13 can position the lever 32 and limit the travel of the lever 32, so that the lever 32 can be moved from one end of the operation hole 13 to the other end, which just drives the cover plate 31 from blocking the camera body 2 to a position that is offset from the camera body 2, making the operation convenient.

[0043] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 and Figure 4The home security camera with a shielding structure also includes a mounting base 4, which is installed inside the receiving cavity 11, and the camera body 2 is mounted on the mounting base 4. An operation hole 13 is located above the camera housing 1, and a camera hole 12 is located at the front of the camera housing 1. A support plate 41 is provided on the mounting base 4, supporting a lever 32. The camera faces forward of the camera housing 1, and the lever 32 protrudes along the top of the camera housing 1, making it easy for the user to operate. The support plate 41 supports the lever 32 to prevent it from recessing into the receiving cavity 11.

[0044] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 The shielding component 3 is provided with a limiting protrusion 312, which protrudes from the shielding plate 31 and abuts against the lower part of the support plate 41. The toggle block 32 and the limiting protrusion 312 are located on the upper and lower sides of the support plate 41, respectively. The support plate 41 can guide and limit the shielding component 3, making the shielding component 3 move more smoothly inside the camera housing 1.

[0045] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 and Figure 5 A limiting groove 14 is provided on the inner wall of the camera housing 1, and the shield 31 is slidably connected in the limiting groove 14. The limiting groove 14 is recessed in the inner wall of the receiving cavity 11 to limit the movement range of the shield 31 and ensure that the shield 3 switches smoothly between the shielded state and the open state.

[0046] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The shielding member 3 also includes an elastic plate 33, which is connected to the lever 32. An elastic strip 331 is provided on the end of the elastic plate 33 away from the lever 32. A clearance hole 332 is provided on the elastic plate 33 corresponding to the position of the elastic strip 331. A snap-fit ​​protrusion 333 is provided on the side of the elastic strip 331 away from the clearance hole 332. A snap-fit ​​strip 15 is protruding on the inner wall of the camera housing 1. When the shielding member 3 is in the shielding state, the snap-fit ​​protrusion 333 abuts against one end of the snap-fit ​​strip 15; when the shielding member 3 is in the open state, the snap-fit ​​protrusion 333 abuts against the other end of the snap-fit ​​strip 15. When the lever 32 is located in the middle of the operating hole 13, the snap-fit ​​protrusion 333 abuts against the middle of the snap-fit ​​strip 15, and the elastic strip 331 is recessed into the clearance hole 332.

[0047] When the lever 32 is located in the middle of the operating hole 13, the engaging protrusion 333 abuts against the middle of the engaging strip 15, and the elastic strip 331 bends inward into the clearance hole 332, causing the elastic strip 331 to store energy. The friction between the engaging protrusion 333 and the engaging strip 15 increases, making it more difficult for the lever 32 to move in the middle of the operating hole 13, and making the movement of the lever 32 more stable. When the lever 32 moves to one end of the operating hole 13, the elastic strip 331 straightens and releases its elastic force, and the engaging protrusion 333 abuts against one end of the engaging strip 15.

[0048] During the process of moving the lever 32 from the end of the operating hole 13 to the middle of the operating hole 13, it needs to overcome the elastic force of the elastic strip 331 so that when no one operates the lever 32, the lever 32 can be stably located at the end of the operating hole 13, and the blocking member 3 can be stably located in the blocking state or the open state, and will not move automatically when the camera housing is tilted.

[0049] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The cavity 11 is equipped with a control button 16, and the camera housing 1 is equipped with a button hole. The control button 16 extends from the button hole, and the control button 16 facilitates the control of the camera body 2.

[0050] In some embodiments, the home camera with a shielding structure also includes a base 5, with the camera housing 1 rotatably connected to the top of one side of the base 5. The base 5 supports the camera housing 1, raising it to provide a wider field of view for the camera body 2.

[0051] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 A display screen 51 is provided on one side of the base 5, and the display screen 51 and the camera housing 1 are located on the same side of the base 5. The display screen 51 can display the image captured by the camera body 2, the date, weather and other information, as well as some decorative images.

[0052] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: In the initial state, the blocking member 3 is in the open state, the toggle block 32 is located at one end of the operation hole 13, and the locking protrusion 333 abuts against one end of the locking strip 15. The camera body 2 takes a picture outward through the camera hole 12. When the toggle block 32 is moved, it moves to the other end of the operation hole 13, so that the blocking member 3 is in the blocking state, and the locking protrusion 333 abuts against the other end of the locking strip 15. The camera body 2 is blocked by the blocking plate 31. When the toggle block 32 is moved from one end of the operation hole 13 to the other end, the locking protrusion 333 abuts against the middle of the locking strip 15, and the elastic strip 331 is bent into the avoidance hole 332. The cleaning brush cleans the camera body 2 and sweeps off the dust adhering to the camera body 2.

[0053] This completes the working process of this type of home security camera with a shielding structure.

[0054] In summary, although the present invention has been disclosed above, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications and refinements without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention shall be determined by the scope defined in the claims.
